Happy New Year, friend! We survived coronavirus XD

I love that idea LOL. “Fuzzy Sock Awareness Day” should be a thing! Let’s start a petition XD 😉

Thanks! So my teacher would always hire some of her friends that played the piano, violin, and mandolin, and then another student of the co-op (or former student) to be the literal drums…[Read more]

@lonathecat I do celebrate with my family, but honestly, I don’t get into it all that much, haha. It was good though. Was the first time in like, 9 months since I’d gotten to hang out with everyone.

YEA I LOVE HIM
you should definitely let me know what name you decide for yours. 😉
Do you know how to play any songs yet? hhh that seems so far away…[Read more]

@lonathecat
Hey, sorree for the late reply. x’D How’ve you been? Did you have a good Christmas (if you celebrate)?
To answer your question, no, I don’t really play any instruments. I’m trying to teach myself piano (I bought a keyboard and his name is donnor and I rly love him) but it’s going reaaaallly slow. So far I’ve just begun to familiarize…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Hi friend! Merry Christmas! Sorry for the late response, I have had quite a busy week LOL. Don’t worry, I’m still alive 😉

I shall contact the publishers immediately XD

Aww thanks! I hope it works out too LOL.

Oh wow XD I know that some people down here are like that too, but there are a LOT of cautious (and some I daresay are a…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Nice! Spanish is like the only other language I can see myself putting effort into learning. I have heard it is very close to Latin, even compared to other Romance languages.

@rose-colored-fancy

I actually like Cicero, but he is difficult. There’s a joke that goes like this: A senator was late to the senate on the day Cicero was…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Thanks! By “also” were you meaning that I am a writer and a dancer, or that you were also a dancer? Just wondering! Lol 🙂

But yes, I am a dancer! 🙂 I don’t really include dancing much in my own stories so far (mostly because it just doesn’t fit my settings), but I do hope to in the future. I also love to edit though, and some of my…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy

Hehe, that’s okay 🙂 I get confused enough translating real Latin. Are you trilingual?

I thought Island of the Blue Dolphins was disappointing as well and I got really confused at how old Karana was supposed to be. I could not keep track of how much time was passing. I haven’t read The Healer’s Apprentice, but none of…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Oh my goodness yes XD That should totally be a new children’s story LOL. “The Little Toaster That Could… Burn a House Down” XD

Mmmm that sound good too. Please excuse me as my mouth waters 😛

Their food is so good 🙂 We haven’t finalized a date for our brunch, mostly because of holidays and whatnot, but we shall figure something…[Read more]

@zee

Actually, I haven’t used Wheelock’s. I’ve used the Forms series and am currently in Henle translating Cicero, which, in my opinion, is much more interesting than Caesar. Are you familiar with Wheelock’s?

@lonathecat

Greco-Roman mythology is my favorite too. I’ve only read the Percy Jackson books, but someday I hope to get to the rest of…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Old stuff is really fun LOL. But man that toaster really hung on XD

I don’t eat toast a lot, but when I do I like seedless blackberry jelly 🙂 What do you like on yours? Other than char from fires 😉

Haha, this is really what the quarantine is for; improving ninja skills XD I don’t know if this restaurant is only in my town, but…[Read more]

@lonathecat

You’re totally fine! No apologies needed 🙂

Oh wow LOL. How was that toaster even still functioning (other than catching itself on fire XD)? RIP toaster and the toast it murdered XD That’s so funny though, LOL. Good job not burning down your cement house 😉

Another homeschooler! I have found another one of us, LOL. That’s so true,…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Hooray for living, LOL XD

You know, the funny thing is, my name is actually already pronounced Ren-A XD I think it’s French, but I don’t have the accent that I believe is normally over like the second E. But I like that though; it’s very creative 🙂

I too am the oldest child, and I also make sure my two younger brothers don’t kill…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Ah, well, then you have not lived! LOL Just kidding. It’s a really gripping book, the first in the Ascendence series (I haven’t read the rest). It’s set in a fake medieval world. Not usually what I read, but the story gripped me so much that it was one of those books you can’t wait to read (and believe me, for a book to do that to me…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Oh, that’s sad about your book club! Hopefully it will start up again!

Yeah, don’t worry about the alternate version. It was just an idea.

Have you read The False Prince, by the way?

@lonathecat

You’re alive! XD 😉 No worries about the late reply, I totally understand.

It’s true, I could. Though that might confuse my friends and family if people started calling me Lizzie, LOL. Or I guess people could call me Renee or Ren, to change things up XD Oh well 😛

Ah yes, siblings make…. nicknames XD I love my brothers, but some…[Read more]

@lonathecat,

I’m so glad you liked it! I started writing it two years ago, and it REALLY changed. In the original story:

There was no HANDSHAKE,

Larry, Neil, and Lewis didn’t exist,

Travis was the one with a twin, not Sadie,

Mortis was an agent who was imprisoned with Travis,

Someone who was pretending to be Travis’ mom was the person who…[Read more]

@lonathecat, I can’t think of any other short stories really, since I’m usually more of the 300+ page book reader. Do you have any favorites?

Nice to meet you, @claire-h. I love the idea of a futuristic /dystopia story set in the jungles of Peru. That sounds so cool! You’ll have to post updates as you progress. My dad teaches church history.…[Read more]
