Happy Holidays, Minion Horde!
Have you all started winter break yet? Or as I often liked to refer to it, sanity break? If not, hang in there - soon you'll be staying up late and sleeping in, sipping hot cocoa and ripping paper off of gifts! Auntie Heather will be (as usual) working through the holidays, but don't worry...she'll make sure to stop writing long enough to celebrate with her family.
As you might have noticed, Auntie Heather has been rather quiet lately. Well, that's because I have a lot going on right now. I'm busy, busy, busy with work, work, work. I'm writing ELEVENTH GRADE BURNS, tweaking the Super Secret Project, reading a fabulous manuscript with an eye towards blurbing it (oh yeah, so giving this a blurb - I'm addicted), and tweaking this short story for an anthology that'll benefit RIF (comes out Fall 2010). Most of which is due in January...which has Auntie Heather a little crazy, but happy. Being incredibly busy is far better than having too much time on my hands.
I've received several requests for various items that can be used as holiday gifts: Minion Bling, autographs, ARCs, books, hoodies. And while I absolutely sympathize that you Minions know someone who ONLY wants whatever item you asked me for, the fact is that Auntie Heather can't fill every wish. Right now my schedule is so intensely tight that I just can't make any extra trips to the post office to ship things. Not to mention that if I fulfill one wish, I have to fulfill them all...and I can't hand out hoodies and ARCs to everyone...though I wish I could. I'm currently waiting on another order of Bling and that won't get here until after the holidays...and won't get shipped out to you Minions until after winter break. So bear with me, Minions. Auntie Heather feels enormously guilty for not helping you all with your holiday wishes, but...she is Auntie Heather, not Santa Heather, after all. (Though she really, really wishes she were!)
I've also received (as usual, yay!) many messages asking if I'll visit this place or that place. The short answer? Yes! The long answer? Please contact Uncle Paul for more info on how to make that happen: paul @ heatherbrewer dot com
That's all for now! HAPPY HOLIDAYS, MINIONS!

I'm happy, though I've started my holiday break out with a cold. :( But, I started my holidays out with A's and B's on report cards.
Also, I completed my story. It took a lot out of me to finish it before winter break. whew. I still have tons of editing and proofreading to do on it.
I have requests that I should already get the sequel started during winter break! @_@
Can't doooo! ><
Anyways, hope you have a happy winter! :3

You too!
Hate to bring back up an old problem, but do you remember which wrist Vlad's mark is on? I was reading the book last night and couldn't remember.
Um I think it is on his left wrist, however i could be mistaken... would you like me to skim through the ending of the book and see?
luv AVL
I just read the ending, and I couldn't find any mention of which wrist it was >_<
It's not that important, I was just trying to visualize the last scene and was confused.
Im with avl i have a feeling its on the left wrist
It's on the left wrist, RJ :)=
HAPPY HOLIDAYS, MINIONS!!!
I knew it.
Solikesolike I got a 'Norwegian' hat and a Batman blanket from my grandparents for Christmas(their package arrived today) and I was walking around with the hat on and the blanket wrapped around me and my mom called me 'Norwegian Batgirl' and I said 'I'm Batwegian!'
And yes you needed to know this. Merry Christmas!!!!
I'm not sure about ur time change, but right now, its 12:29 in MA, which means..
MERRY XMAS<333333!! ^^
Oh, and other holidays it may be for others =)
Or well, not everyone celebrates xmas, so, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!! i got a laptop!!!!!!! and books!!!!! and walmart gift card!!!! and money!!! and awesome clothes with skulls n stuff!!!! and a buncha scary movies!!!!! from my whole family all together,, yayayayayayayayayayayayay. meryy christmas, and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
luv AVL
I GOT A COMPUTER YESYESYES!!!!!
Andand a bunch of other awesome things.
Like BATMAN crap and socks and boots and....
Merry Christmas by the way, I hope everyone got exactly what they wanted. AND I hope that you all remember the REASON for the SEASON. Otherwise what point would there be in Christmas?
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good day/night
Yes, let's not forget charity to those less fortunate and spending time with loved ones. :)
I hope you all had a happy holiday today (and to my Jewish Minions - keep on partying!).
Hm, not exactly the 'reason' I was talking about, and you sound half like you're avoiding that one. But if you must, then whatever. Forcing arguments to start or criticizing people for thinking differently won't get anyone very far, not here.
Personally, I think that if you're going to celebrate Christmas then you should at least remember that we're doing it to celebrate love. Even if you excuse all the facts out until all it is is a consumer holiday or whatnot, everyone has to say 'whatever, your life' to something.
I could break into song here but then someone might hunt me down and shoot me for doing it so I won't. :\
"Love" IS charity and spending times with loved ones, RJ. As for your religious implications, let's keep them off the blog, as there are better places for those kinds of discussions online.
The Minion Horde is made op of Muslims, Jews, Christians, Pagans, Atheist, Agnostics, Hindus, and everything in between...and I respect that by not discussing any religion on my blog or in my forum.
The Virgo in me will not rest until I say op=up. Phew!
I haven't the slightest about what the last post meant. And I don't know if I want to know.
I know this. And I think the whole conversation might have just been avoided if everyone had ignored me, as I tend to act stupid often. As you would know.
You're not stupid, RJ, and Auntie Heather loves your quirky self :)=
Uh, thanks? :\
I hope everyone who celebrated Christmas has had a very good one, and everyone who's celebrating at all got exactly what they were wishing for.
P. S. Yes Man is hilarious.
Hey Auntie Heather, if you don't mind my asking; I know you were Goth as a teenager, were you Goth as a kid too? Kind of what I'm trying to ask is do you remember what age you were when you knew you were Goth? Sorry if you don't want that question asked, I'm just curious.
luv AVL
get more buttons yet??? im still wanting one
happy holidays auntie heather, and other minions!!!!
o0o0o0o0o the bord is soooo quite....
luv AVL
ok, this sounds reallyyyyy stupid but i am wondering if trip pants r really called that, and any good brands for them or big black combat boots or any goth clothes lines or something, cuz i got a walmart gift card and if they have anything like that dir i am gonna talk my ma into letting me get it.......
luv AVL
Never heard of Trip Pants.
Guess who got new tennies today?!?!?! Them is so cool.
Yes, that was necessary, as no one is saying anything.
And apparently shampoos for oily hair are out, there were all of two in Target and none in Bath and Body Works. Which is really annoying.
um....you know those big goth pants????? like they have black n usually studds or something on them, i'm not sure what their called, someone told me trip pants, well ok.
luv AVL
Really? 'Cause thats all I use is the super strength shampoo. And they are called tripp pants cause trip is a brand. They make trench coats and pants and anything with chians and studs along with the colors black+white/red/dark green/dark purple.
Tripp is an awesome brand. :)=
Thanks! now i'ma see if they have anything at walmart......highly unlikely........i'll see if they have a website....
luv AVL
Does anyone here like ManicPanic.com? Or the store? I've never been to the store, only the site. I'm still trying to talk my mom into letting me dye my hair. I'm probably going to use some of the money I got for Christmas to buy some hair dye -If thy mom says soo- or if she bounces for it, i want to draw a little design i want my bangs to look like and see if i can get them cut that way because i cut my bangs, trying to be simple, they r all uneven and nasty looking....
luv AVL
Yeah, I don't get out much, remember? Never heard of Tripp, they sell stuff at Hot Topic, I'm sure, so I've probably seen a couple of things from them.
My social life is too small to have a label.
LoL...... In that horde as well..........
luv AVL does anyone here like the songs Last Resort or Getting Away With Murder by Papa Roach?
FYI: Manic Panic fades VERY quickly. Auntie Heather uses Special Effects. ;)
Lol, nice
Been gone a few days and new this is long...awesome
Hope u guys have a Happy New Year, mine will be semi-crummy...brother's sick and too much family...
P.Sp. I've heard of Papa Roach
Jess
My sister has a CD by him(Papa Roach). Is Manic Panic a hair dye? Or... a fansite for the fictional hedgehog (if not the real one is pretty close to that)? Or something else entirely?
Its a hair dye place (manic panic) and you can get other stuff too. Thanks auntie Heather, i didn't know it fades quickly, if i can i'll try Secial Effects instead. :)=
luv AVL
Manic Panic...sounds kewl.
Is it aroudn the country or only near yhou? ;)
Jess
No its all round, they have buncha places, you can go to the website and see its ManicPanic.com
Manic Panic does fade really quickly, but if you leave it in for more than the instructions say (they say 15-30 minutes, but you can leave it for quite a while longer and I promise you won't die xD) it'll last somewhat longer. Or you can use a hairdryer while it's setting, to make it stronger. Also they have a version called 'amplified' which lasts for a pretty long time. I'm still trying to find Special Effects in my area, so I'm stuck with Manic Panic for now ^^
Also, for the record, Tripp is my favorite clothing company (and their pants actually FIT me without having to be taken in! I'm too short and tiny xD) and Papa Roach is one of my favorite bands ;D
I used to use Manic Panic, left it on for three hours (it's a veggie dye, so it won't hurt your hair), but I got tired of turning my pillowcases colors and having it fade so quickly. Since I switched to Special Effects, my pillow cases are fine and my color is bright for a good long time.
I seen the blood red by Special Effects, and it reallyy looks like blood! Ahahaha! i can't do my hair completely black, and i'm worried if i dye my hair to often it'll get messed up (i heard you can ruin your hair from dying it too often) and stuff, but i'll have to wait till im a teenager before i can dye my hair perminant black, but what i wantt to do is layer my hair with black and put a lot in it, my mom might go for that, and it'll still be a lil brown and also put in the blood red...
I almost forgot.....my mom is considering the TGB Party for a birthday present!!!! and like she actually is,,, but it is a big thing to think about cause you in MO and we're in NY and there like...a half way across the country from each other lol.
luv AVL
Woot! TGB party!!
I use Blood Red!!!! But I bleach first, so it's nice and bright. :)
Hahaha.!!!!! I wanna do my hair black with one long streek of Blood Red from top to bottom because my Charactor in my book has her hair like that and i reallyy like it like that!!! maybe if i would go my mom might let me do it, if it wasn't perminant, that wouldn't be so bad ;)= Do you use the bleach kit from Special Effects?????
luv AVL
Hmmm...don't know why my comment didn't show up. I use White Out Bleach. You can get it at Hot Topic. :)
Hm, I thought so. Well, if Manic Panic didn't wear onto pillowcases I would probably be allowed to use it. But I don't think my mom would go for black blotched pillowcases.
I must find hair dye/spray! And get out of my house to...anywhere!
Jess
The black I use is L'Oreal and that doesn't hurt my pillow cases at all, RJ. Might wanna give it a try!
Thanks Auntie!! Well lets Hope i will be able to;)=
luv AVL p.;s my mom thinks i'm obsessed because i had a dream the night before that i had fangs, than we watched the new jounry to the center of they earth and how they guys brother and the girls father believed the book was real, i went 'Now thats obsession!'
Yeah, but I would need to use fade out/wash out dye.
Hey, obsession isn't that bad, whenever I'm into something I get totally obsessed for months!
RJ, ooooh, okay. Stay away from any so-called "temporary" black dyes. Even they won't wash completely out.
So fade out'll do it?
