Jessica Starring as Katniss

I actually saw that movie last night for the second time at a sleepover.

So the other day, my dad took me to an archery place to get a bow and some arrows because it was part of a Christmas present. It was awesome!

Isn't that so cool? The bow is heavier than it looks.

Bullseye!

Have you ever tried archery? I'm going to practice every day! :)

So that was pretty random. :D Also, tomorrow is New Years Eve! I will be going over to my grandparent's house to watch the ball drop. 2013 here we come!

Love,

Jessica

A new blog and I'm sick

Hi guys! :) I have some great news for you. I am making a new blog! It will be open (hopefully) January 1st and will be a photography blog. I can't wait!

Also, today was one of those days where I woke up at 10:30 and didn't get out of my PJ's till 2:00 in the afternoon. But I'm sick so that's my excuse. Ick. I have a cold and a sore throat that keeps getting passed around (my sisters are sick too).

Just so you know, I will be working on a spring design soon (with a new title) and the giveaway will be in mid-January. Have a great day! :)

Love,

Random... and a story!

Just so you know, my Interviews page is up and running! Check it out! :)

How was your Christmas? Mine was great! I had a lot of fun and I got some great gifts: clothes, iPod, shower stuff, books, money... all my favorites.

Are you excited about 2013? I can't wait! :)

I hope you aren't bored of this post, so here is something to make it more interesting: a story by me!

Soren

When I came back, she was gone. Everyone was gone. I remember frantically searching through the empty town, calling her name unceasingly. But then I broke into sobs when I realized she wasn’t here. Nobody was.

Let me start at the beginning. Winter was finally ending. The snow was melting, the sun was shining, the birds were starting to sing again, and the soldiers had left. At least, for a little while.

I had ventured into the woods in hopes of finding a suitable dinner for my sister and me. I was lucky. A buck had wandered into my path and I killed it in an instant. It was a big buck, too. My spirits had risen, for now we would be able to eat for days to come. I don’t know how I managed to drag him all the way back home, but Father trained me well. If only he could see me now. But those days were dead and gone and passed.

I remember her saying “Don’t leave me here alone.” So, I put my arms around her like a big sister would and told her I had to, in order for us to survive. I told her that if anyone came to the house while I was gone that she was not to answer the door, but to hide in the cupboard in the kitchen. She said she understood, but what if I didn’t come back? Then what was she to do? She looked at me with her sad, brown eyes, making me nearly cry. I so badly just wanted her to be safe and sound, with a home to live in, food to eat, and people to love. So I told her, “I promise. And when I promise something, I will never ever break that promise.”

I left and didn’t look back, thinking it was just a normal day and that I would be back soon. But it was not a normal day. It was the worst day of my life. Worse than when the soldiers started coming and our neighbors starting disappearing. Worse than when Father was taken away. Even worse than Mother dying. It was worse because now I had no one. No one to keep me going, no one to hang onto when times got tough. I was all alone.

It was a horrible feeling.

Miri

They were coming for me. I could hear them – their boots crunching in the snow, their swords clanking at their sides, their harsh words muttered among them as they made a final search through the ghost town. I cowered in the cupboard like Soren had told me to do, not making a sound. Please go away, please go away, I prayed.

My heart skipped a beat when they knocked on the door. When no one came, they grew impatient and threw open the door themselves. I bit my tongue to keep from crying out. I could hear them rummaging through our belongings and wandering through the small house, looking for signs of life.

They were getting closer. They were the hungry wolf pack and I was the miserable, lost little lamb.

“Come out, come out wherever you are,” they taunted.

I closed my eyes. Please go away, please go away. I nearly screamed when the cupboard door was thrust open. I looked into the eyes of my kidnappers.

“Ha! We found you!”

They pulled me out screaming and thrashing like a wild animal.

“Let me go!” I cried. “Soren! Soren!”

I sunk my teeth into the hand that held me, desperately trying to get away. He howled and clutched his hand, dropping me in the process. I fell to the floor and jumped up, but there were too many of them. Another soldier grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder.

“She’s a feisty one, she is,” he said. “Let’s put her in the back with the rest of them.”

I screamed again, praying someone would hear me, but then everything went black.

What do you think? Want to know what happens next? I'll post more this week!

Have a great day! :)

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! :) I hope you have a great time celebrating with your family and friends, opening gifts, sining carols, drinking hot cocoa, and more. Thank you so much for following and commenting on my blog. It has been a great 8 months!

Love,

Thanks for reading! :)

Love,

My Poll and Randomness :)

So, it looks like Randomness and Doll Posts are winning in my poll. (Thanks for voting by the way.) I would do more doll posts, but it has been raining lately and I really like outside photo shoots for the best lighting, and I would def not want them to get wet, so that might have to wait for a bit. But Randomness, I can do. (This is random, right?)

I've also realized that this blog isn't really Rosalyn's Blog anymore - I've been posting about me more and more. So I will probably change the title. Do you have any ideas?

Thanks!

P.S. Christmas is in two days! :D
