The Secret Adventures of WriterGirl

Current Theme Song (aka what's playing on my ipod right now): Inama Nushif by Brian Tyler [Children of Dune soundtrack].


Okay, you guys seriously have me freaked out. I can hear your chants for "VLOG!" over here. It's truly scary, like hide-under-my-bed scary, but there's no room under there because of my Mac box. No reprieve. So I'm scarfing chocolate while doing every scrap of research I can in preparation for this recipe unveiling.

Because not only do I have to invent a completely new recipe (which I haven't done in years), but I also have to make a vlog about it! What was I thinking?! I don't know anything about being in front of the camera. There is a reason why I was always in the pit orchestra and never on stage in school. There's a reason why I like EDITING videos, not being in front of them! Hyperventilating. Need more chocolate. *scarfs*

I'm a behind-the-scenes girl. This is so scary. I need your help. Comments are always appreciated. And will someone please promise to try and make the recipe I reveal, no matter what it is? (I promise it will be good, don't worry). That will ease my fears bigtime. Also, I count myself exempt from any blog warring for quite a while (I'm looking at you Shannon. I saw that evil chanting you did yesterday).


So, since my nerves are absolutely on the fritz, you are going to get an explanation of something I've been wanting to reveal for a while. *rubs hands together gleefully*


While I love putting myself out there, I try and keep my family as low-key as possible. This has resulted in some rather convoluted descriptions when trying to explain certain stories. This is because all of my siblings are girls (Little Big Sister, Little Sister, Little Little Sister - you get the idea). So - I have names! I totally give all credit for this idea to Vivian as she does something similar with her daughters.

I have three sisters. I am the oldest (love it!). I have a twin. That's the basics you need to know. So bum Bum BUM! I now can reveal their super-secret code names! (It's only appropriate since I am an undercover superhero, right?). :)

In descending order from age:

Me: uh... me. :)

Twin: Twin (Sorry, I have a hard time thinking of her as anything else after all this time). Maybe something brilliant will come later. Anyone got any good twin names? (Castor and Pollux are boys, so no. I don't think she wants to be called either).

Little Sister: the Wunderkind. - She doesn't see it, but she is amazing. She thinks she is just average, but really, she is brilliant in everything she does. Love her to death and she's beautiful to boot.

Little Little Sister: the Snake Charmer. She loves snakes, what can I say? She's loved them from a way-too early age. Her biggest dream is to own a ball python. I run away, and she runs toward them.


So there you go. My new code-names for my family. Hopefully it will be easier and more fun for everyone. Now there is only the video to worry about. *gulp* Um... where's my chocolate?...
