A Golden-Red Horizon

Why do people seem to avoid my topics nowadays? Noone's posted in my last two blog entries, and 1/3 of the comments I do have were made by yours truly. My entries may be unpleasant, but they're not dangerous.

My art topic, A Perfect Couple, has been dramatically updated and few people seem to care. I mean, there are still AC12 entries on the FIRST PAGE! I'm only on the second and I still get ignored!

While I'm at it, here's a link to my latest topic, Whekkies! Try to post on it before it drifts away.

Many things can be overlooked in our lives, but the work of a friendly blogger should not be one of them.

EDIT: Noone has rated my blog, either. The shame...

This poem is an excerpt from my commonplace book:

Despite its Very Fearsome Denotation (that means "name")
its Venom doesn't Feel quite as Deadly as they claim.
In fact, instead of frightful,
why, the Viper's Found Delightful,
but it's feared by all the experts, what a shame.

About the Viper's Friendly Disposition, this I say:
He's Visitable, Fun, and quite Distracting, in a way,
and at the time Vital For Dreaming,
his eyes stop their jewellike gleaming
as he curls up at your feet from night till day.

Dear Readers,
Yesterday, on that day of misfortune we call Friday the Thirteenth, even more adversity came upon us in the form of a Volume Favorably Discouraged known only as The End. To be succinct, which here means "short and sweet, as this book definitely isn't," this book is an unpleasant novel that you good people should spare yourselves the agony of reading. To be verbose, a word which here means "long, wordy, and likely to cause strife or agony, as this book is," Lemony Snicket's most recent (and hopefully last) novel imposes a greater degree of misfortune than lucky people such as yourselves are accustomed to, and therefore should be avoided at all costs, lest you expose yourselves to such unpleasantries as another ridiculous disguise, a deadly fungus, a horribly-named boat, and the true nature behind an extensive tome known as A Series of Unfortunate Events, which are far more frightening prospects than the run-on sentence that you are indulging in at this time. Please don't read this, unless you are a grief-stricken member of a rapidly decaying secret organization that believes that this novel will be vital to your training. If you are, my only hope is that you may be smart enough to never volunteer again.

With all due respect,
Aanchir, Rachira of Time

-Shel Silverstein (A kids' poet with mad writing and illustrating skillz)
-J.R.R. Tolkien (Wrote The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle-Earth, and many other books which belong to the same series)
-L. Frank Baum (Wrote The Wizard of Oz and all 13 of its sequels, as well as Little Wizard Stories of Oz, The Magical Monarch of Mo, Queen Zixi of Ix, The Sea Fairies, Sky Island, and numerous other books that intertwine with the Oz books in some way or another)

-C.S. Lewis (Wrote The Chronicles of Narnia) Thanks to Turakii for pointing this one out!
-Greg Farshtey (Shame on you if you don't like this man's books.)

This doesn't even mention some great picture book authors or others whom I have neglected to mention.

Yesterday afternoon I found out from a friend that the 5th Artemis Fowl book was out. On Mom's way home, Lyichir called her to ask if she could pick up a copy at Borders. She couldn't find it, but she did find another book off our wish list: The Beatrice Letters.

The book is arranged like a two pocket portfolio, one pocket for "Letters" and another for "Letters". In the "Letters" pocket is the book itself, whereas the "Letters" pocket contains a folder that may be indispensible, a word which here means, "essential and necessary," to decoding the letters that are ironically placed in the "Letters" folder. The book contains many unpleasant things, which include a two-hundred page book about a dreadful revelation, love letters, "My Silence Knot," bats, a brae-man, letters of the alphabet, the Baudelaire orphans, secret compartments, business letters, hatpins, and root-beer floats.

This book, like The Unauthorized Autobiography, answers a lot of questions you ASOUE fans may have been asking, and more that noone had thought to ask, even hinting at the answer to the greatest mystery of all, "Who is Beatrice?"

Yet, in classic ASOUE style, these answers do not clear up all of your questions, instead providing you with even more, which we only hope we will find answers to in Lemony Snicket's final book, The End.

This picture is based on the pics that Lady K uploaded of herself recently. She said I could post it, but I didn't know what forum to put it in. Lyichir suggested that I put it in my blog, so here it is!

I've been practicing recently, so... yeah, post comments and criticism.

Aanchir was here

I got my premier membership in the same evening in which I applied! I didn't know that could happen!
What better way to celebrate than with a BLOG?!

First person to figure out where I got my blog title gets a brownie point.

P.S. I'm not totally obsessed with volunteership, I just couldn't think of a better name for my blog.
