As I logged out of my account on here, I saw the little advice in the corner and gasped aloud. A word was spelled wrong! It was something about complimenting people or something, but they said 'complement' with an 'E' where the rightful 'I' belonged.  I'm beginning to lose trust in its judgement. Now it's telling me 'become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know.' Well, I'm always pretty positive anyway, so I don't need help there. Maybe one day we can forget the troubled past and move forward, the corner and I.

Sarah would like to use the computer, and I have things to be getting to - I just thought it was necessary to report such dreadful news.

Ah. I just wrote about writing my story on a forum I used to go on. It feels very good to talk about it.

As for the language thing, I came up with how this planet actually learned it. Once they found out there were other planets out there, Katie's unknown relative Nicholas was sent to learn the other peoples' language because their own was difficult for them to use. He studied it, even took an English class or learned it from someone, wrote it all down in a book and published it for everyone to learn. He ties in with another story in the book, so you'll have to find that out.

You know what I'm glad my story doesn't have? a Prophecy. I, personally, do not like them at all. If other people like them, fine. It's just not my style.

Only a week to go.

Yesterday, or maybe it was the day before that, I sorted through boxes of my stuff. I threw out one fair-sized box and two are for yard sale type things. Everything is still in boxes, though. I need to put it on shelves.

As for my story, I haven't done much, but I did come up with a holiday that isn't a holiday. There's no real celebration for it, but it's just one day a year that rains all day and all night. So I got to think up a little story within a story. Those are always fun.

I just thought right now that we should have a doorbell. The question is, where would we put it? We have five doors to get out of the house. That's a problem. Maybe we could have several, or somehow hook up the two front doors and one side door to one doorbell. I don't know.

The countdown begins!

Story-wise, though, I have come up with fourteen new (or not-so new) months which are from twenty-eight days to thirty-four days, making a total of four hundred and thirty-four days in their year. What I did was use the calculator to multiply fourteen by thirty-one, which would be the default amount of days in a month, to get how many days in the year. Then I thought up names for each month and if I wanted one to have thirty-four days, the next on the list (they were out of order) would have twenty-eight. That way, it would vary how long each month was and I wouldn't have to try really hard to keep it at four hundred and thirty-four when trying to do this. I probably just made no sense.

Here is a list of the names of the months in order, how many days they have, how to say them and  some will have little tidbits.

Palean (pah-lay-uhn) 29 days

Zentas (zen-tahz) 31

Julia (just like the name) 32

Moa (moh-ah) 34

Memour (mehm-or) 30

Maius (may-us) 34 (in Latin  it's Majus, and the J is pronounced like a Y. For romans this was, of course, May.)

Filia (feel-i-ah) 33 (it means "daughter" in Latin)

Nenatas (nen-nah-tahs) 29

Lea (lay) 32

Raya (ray-ah) 30

Pyxis (pik-sis) 33 (a constellation in the sky, part of the ship Argo, which is some sort of legend. It's the compass and you can find it near Orion and Canis Major, and the other parts of the ship are Vela, Carina and Puppis.)

Gemod (jeh-moh) 28

Junius (joo-nee-us) 28 (June in Latin and on the Roman calendar)

Rosentis (roh-zen-tis) 31

There you have it!  Yesterday I made apple pie, which was very good. The filling sort of turned to apple sauce, but it was delicious. And I remembered to add the sugar this time.

I need to figure out when to have the cold season, too, which I have decided will have winter. I just don't know what months to have it on.
