Greetings lovely folks! Okay. I know. This isn't my first post on this forum. So pardon me for not introducing myself until, well, now. Most of you probably know me, but I'm going to pretend you're all meeting me for the fist time. Okay? Hey! I'm Amanda. (There are multiple Amanda's, so just remember that I'm the blonde one. Or something like that.) I'm fifteen, and an insane fangirl and bookworm. My life is pretty fun. And I'm a crazy Ilyon addict. Just ask everyone I know. Oh yeah, and I converted my mom too. Hehe. I love to write. I can't say I'm the best at it, but I really enjoy it. I blog on Tuesdays and Saturdays at ScatteredJournalPages.com, and on random Thursdays I do book related things there too. It's really really fun. I love to surf, and water related things are really fun. And I should have been born in a fantasy world, or at least the middle ages or something. Like, really. I taught myself to waltz the other night and got kinda mad that royal balls don't really happen here. And then I was talking to my mom and told her that I wanted a bow and arrow and a sword, and she said that it's probably not the best to have a sharp sword. WHAT ON EARTH IS THE POINT IN HAVING A BLUNT SWORD?! Alright ANYWAY. Then we were shopping for clothes and we saw a modern corset type thing and told her I wanted a real one that ties up the back to wear beautiful gowns over, and she told me that I surely was born in the wrong era. *sad sigh* So that's me. I'm not much more than an average teenager, but my heart and my life is dedicated to Jesus, so it's all worth it. Thanks Jaye for this awesome forum, and I look forward to getting to know you all better!

Eh, you're not the only one who should have been born in a fantasy world - but face it, if I were in another world, I'd miss the wifi. So everywhere's got perks. I have a blunt dagger - but it's got a point! Welcome Amanda the Blonde. So good to have you join us!

(I guess I shouldn't really use a sword for violence's sake...so...) Thank you! I am glad to be here. Very glad indeed.

I have a little sword. I don't think it's very sharp. I'd love to be in a fantasy world too, but now that you mention wi-fi, Kendra, maybe not as much.

Hey Amanda:)
Ek when you said you wanted a corset it reminded me, My sister is making me a jerkin I'm super excited! I got real leather for it and was pleasantly surprised how soft it felt! Now I want a dress made from it;)

So glad to have you here, Amanda!! I don't have a bow, but I do have two swords. One is a life size replica of Aragorn's ranger sword and the other is a smaller replica of Gandalf's sword. Oh, we have a replica of Sting too. And I actually made a historically accurate 18th century corset for my reenactment. It's certainly interesting to wear, but believe me, you do NOT want to get it even a little bit too tight. Haha! But it's not actually all that uncomfortable. I've worn it all day multiple days in a row and it didn't really bother me.

Welcome, Amanda!!! I agree with you, most of us should have been born in another time period... I want to learn how to use the staff and the sword, (and I'm taking archery this year) but my dad pointed out that because guns exist, it's really not very helpful to have something that takes you well within shooting range of your enemy. I agree, but that didn't keep me from using sticks to sword-fight my brother, Nathaniel. Funny thing, he says that he's fought with a friend of his who has had fencing lessons, and Nathaniel has used actual fighting tricks! Lol. So maybe someday, we'll accidentally wind up in a different time period and be like, "Whoa! It's the Ilyon Chronicles group!!! No way!" That would be so awesome... As a side note, my sister says that this knight looks like he's killing a mouse: (This emoticon would be screaming "Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!")

Ah, here you are, Amanda!! Yay!! That's great that you converted your mom!!! I so need to get my mom reading them! Well, I did introduce two of my younger sisters to the Ilyon Chronicles, and they LOVE them. And now my older brother is reading Resistance . . . I feel quite accomplished, hehe, Your blog is so lovely! I like how you have it so scheduled!! Ooh, you are so cool, Amanda!! Like, surfing? That's great! Oh, and I know! I sometimes think I was born in the wrong era too!! I have a sword! It's blunt, but has a sharp tip. I'm probably going to use it in my cover for my fantasy novel, Silver Rose. And oh, I so want to dress up in a corset, petticoats, dress, and the whole get-up someday. What fun! Yes, we so need balls to "come back into style". Dancing is sooo fun!! If I lived near you, I would totally plan a ball with you, hehe!

The problem is, um, there was a shark sighting last week in the near-vicinity of where I usally go. So...my parents are a little wary. Oh well. Ah, I want a sword! That is so cool. I promise not to hurt anyone, I just want one to look at and hold and take fencing classes with. Ah. Yes, we need to plan a ball! Someday...that would be so amazing. Like, the real thing. Hehe.

Well, I have my own kindle account, but it's not that hard to lend books ...

I will not fight an unarmed man. I've been to Civil War balls. It used to be fun, until it got cliquish. Now...eh. But I still love to dance and always will. Can't you only lend kindle books once? I seem to have read that.

I will not fight an unarmed man. Well, that would be why I should not pick up my sword. Because if I do, you will kill me.
