On The Willows

171/365

A few years back my friend Lilli and I wrote a story together. It's called "On The Willows." And quite honestly, it's the only story I've ever finished. It's kinda silly and about fairies, but I love it.

Lilli is an artist and while we were working on it she drew sketches of our four main characters. The girl with the curly hair is names Teagan, the boy with the shaggy dark hair is Ronan, the boy with the dark hair is Allean, and the boy with the really long hair is names Taverys.

Lilli sent me these pictures today and I thought I would share them with you. :)

So I had a Skype date with my best friend today. And we were filling each other in on the goings-on of our lives. And she told me how she got to hold an actual human lung the other day. She said, and I quote, "It was all squishy and healthy!....But dead..."

It resulted in a lot of laughter.



I miss her beautiful face. A lot. :)

I also got another screen shot of us making ridiculous faces but I promised her I wouldn't put it up. It is so horrifically wonderful.
