Go Fly a Kite

Hello lovelies,
Unfortunately it seems that the universe does not want me to write a blog.
Too bad, universe. It'll take more than a 102 degree fever to stop me!
Though it has, admittedly, slowed me down.
No matter! Today is a beautiful spring day, the first of many, I hope. It's strange, because I'm very much a fall/winter person, and naturally we detest the idea of spring. But, year after year, whenever it rolls along, I can't help but rejoice in the season. Today it's sunny, warm, and wonderfully windy. Even though I am cooped up inside watching children's movies thanks to my ailment, I have the strongest desire to go fly a kite. Not that I own a kite, mind you. But that will soon change.
In response to this desire, I decided to write a short story about flying a kite. Apologies, it's not finished yet, but since I hadn't posted in a while I felt I should just pop on and make it clear that I'm still here and blogging! As soon as there's a decent draft of it I'll post it to this exact blog post, so keep checking back.

In the mean time, to quench your kite crazy, here's a picture of a kite:
(this reminds me of Peter Pan)


And a heartwarming video of a song about a kite:

And also a book about a kite (more or less...):

25 People I'd Like At My Party

Right!
So I haven't been as faithful as I used to be with this blog, and I apologize. I'm just about to go into production for a show, but as soon as that's over I'll be able to blog more! Also, as my laptop has been accidentally locked in a school cupboard by my teacher for the weekend (don't ask), I don't have a particularly convenient way to post. So, this blog post will be fairly simple. No bold-faces type, few pictures, and for once, very little to say. And now, without further ado, here is a list of 25 People I'd Like At My Party. Not in any particular order and not any party in particular, but I do think a party with these folks would probably be the best party ever.

1. The Doctor
2. Audrey Hepburn
3. Fred Astaire
4. The Dowager Countess of Grantham
5. Emma Stone
6. Betty White
7. Clopin, the crazy singing gypsy man from Disney's "Hunchback of Notre Dame"
8. Ferris Bueller
9. Louis Stevens (Even Stevens anyone?)
10. Ryan Gosling
11. Lilo from "Lilo and Stitch"
12. Alice Adler
13. Tim Gunn
14. Lumiere, the candlestick from "Beauty and the Beast"
15. Zach Galifianakis
16. Lucy Ricardo
17. Jay Gatsby
18. Willy Wonka
19. Liz Lemon
20. Manny Delgato
21. Lorelei Gilmore
22. Cole Porter
23. Fred AND George Weasley
24. Ellen Degeneres
25. Frozone from "The Incredibles."

Love,
Susan D. Holmes
