Okay, Here were go again! I want to be a writer, but for some reason everytime I sit down and try to write something only gibberish will come out. Last time I checked there was not a real market for incomprehensible babble. I started going to this poetry/creative writing thing on Thursdays at my favorite cafe here in town. My hope was that it would inspire some kind of reaction in me, get me to think straight for two seconds and actually write something down. Ladies and gentlemen, it worked! I actually wrote a poem last week and read it on Thursday. It isn't going to change the world but I am proud of it. I am a bit too self-consious to post it here but if you want a copy I will email you one. Just let me know! I hope I can keep writing and get these blasted stories and poems out of my head and onto the page.

I love the fall freak show!!

Has anyone ever pondered what a strangly amazing time the fall is? It is the only time of the year that you can show up at your neighbors, demand candy, and be told you are "sooooo cute" for doing it! I adore the strange behavior that becomes normal at this time of the year ("hey guys, lets all put our heads in a bucket of water and eat an apple!" "No way, lets carve faces on vegetables!") And getting to dress up like an astronaut, a princess or cowboys and indians (at the same time, that way you can fight yourself and work out your personal issues) what could be better!! Oh, yeah... dressing up after having eating 3 pounds of chocolate, running a muck in the street ("a muck, a muck a muck") and then going home to an extended sugar coma. Best day ever.

And soon, we are going to be expected to eat till our pants burst open, sing songs in the street, and bring trees inside of our homes. Despite the obivious pest control problems resulting from live foliage in a warm environment, I am looking forward to the season. I just hope we can all remember the reason for it...candy... (just kidding)!

As you all know, I read... I read A LOT. No, I read like it is oxygen. And I read everything that there is from science fiction to biography to self-help to mystery (but no romance, those are so cheesy). I love good stories that are well written. I love words that take you away and make you think all at the same time. I recommend books to people all of the time: things I think they will enjoy, things that will improve their lives or teach them new things.

This recommendation is for everyone: Read "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury. He is an inspired author. The book was written 50 years ago but it is almost as if he saw our present. The lessons that are hidden on those small pages are enormous and life changing. This book caused me not only to examine the current state of our society but also my place in that society. I look at my actions in a new light. I don't want to say too much but please... read this book and let me know what you think.

Wow! Last post May 2008. Tawna was right, I haven't updated in a while. Let me update you on my life.

Working backwards... I have a dog. He is a black puggle with a squished face and weird breathing habits. I named him Darth Vadar. Luckily he has been fixed so I wont be having any puppies showing up looking for their father. He is a little oddball though. His favorite foods are bean dip on tortilla chips and humus, he barks when I eat dinner but only if I eat on the couch and when I walk him in the morning he hides behind the trees in hunting stance waiting for the school children to pass. I'm thinking of dressing him up as a jedi for Halloween.

I've been doing some traveling the last two years... Las Vegas, San Francisco, Disneyland, Fresno, Hawaii, Texas, Nauvoo, Missouri. Been fun, seen lots. These travels of mine have allowed me to see some amazing theatre, gorgeous vistas, beautiful historical sites and have some truly life altering experiences. But the one I can't stop thinking about is this... The Cable Car museum in San Francisco. Do you know how they work? They are pulled, thats right, pulled around San Francisco by underground cables that wind around huge spools! So I know I am a nerd... Don't rub it in!

This posting thing has never come easily to me. But I promise, for the sake of myself and my weird little dog to keep you updated.

For now...

Tiffany, Tawna and Ta'Mera always have such cute blogs, pictures and stories. I just wanted to get in on the action. Not that any thing much really happens in my life, but who knows... Maybe I will discover the cure for road rage or a magic serum that fixes grammatical errors in the speech of 14 year old boys (wouldn't that be amazing). Then you all will be really glad that you read my blog because you'll be the first to know. So stay tuned for all of the surprises (or lack there of).

Love,
Hauni Ann
