Doctor Who Fanfictions

So, I just found these really short little fanfiction stories I wrote a while back for a page I used to admin on Facebook.

If you're a Doctor Who fan, you might enjoy these...or not...

A journey of a thousand miles...

She's sitting on her knees, overlooking the valley.

Above her is a vivid blue sky, spotted with thin, trailing, white clouds. 

Far into the distance is a mountain. Tall, strong, and majestic, the purplish rocks look slightly menacing, and very powerful. 

The valley below her is green and lush. Further into the valley is a forest, dark, thick, and frightening.

She sits there, fingering the grass around her knees, the slight breeze playing with her hair. She watches as small creatures, birds, squirrels, groundhogs and the like, run about in the valley, busy with their lives.

History Tuesday: Charlotte Bronte

"God pardon me! And man meddle not with me: I have her, and will hold her."-Edward Rochester, Jane Eyre

If you are anything like me, you have at some point found yourself enraptured in the pages of Jane Eyre. You've cried with Jane, loved Mr. Rochester, and hated him at the same time. You've been held captive by the haunting, romantic, tragic tale at every turn of the page. 

I've read Jane Eyre so many times that my faithful copy of the story is starting to fall apart. The first time I read it, I was doubtful. Don't get me wrong, I was a fan of Victorian era love stories as much as the next girl, (Lord knows, I've read Pride and Prejudice too many times to count), but Jane Eyre seemed waaaaaaaay too long for a love story. I thought it would probably be kind of boring.

Of course, after I finished reading it the first time, I immediately flipped back to the beginning and started reading it again.

Facelift and a new name

Okay, NOBODY PANIC.

Yes, this is the blog that was Blog of a Darkmoon Carnie.

I just gave my blog a facelift and a new name...something that I felt would be more...appropriate.

Blog of a Darkmoon Carnie just didn't fit very well.

If you like it, tell me on this Blog's facebook page OR let me know in the comments on the blog!!!

Seriously, I want to know how you guys feel about this new look.

Cheers!

How to be Happy

Hey guys!

So, as some of you may know, I've been sick for the last few days.

When I get sick, I tend to start wallowing in self pity and thinking of all the terrible things that have happened to me in my life.

I'm just going to go ahead and point out that my life hasn't exactly been one long happy story, I've certainly had my fair share of downers. If you were to look at my life story, it would be easy to understand why I tend to get upset sometimes.

But you know, nobody's life is one long happy story. You can't expect to have happiness without some bad stuff along the way.
