being a total jackass.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Brief Background: I suppose you can say that my background is quite your typical background. Only daughter of the CEO and main stockholder at Exxon and retired Brazilian supermodel. The reason I do not say their names is that I only call the people&lt;br /&gt;I’ve seen more then ten times in my life by their name. Don’t even ask of my requirements to call them Mom and Dad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friends: Nikki Baxter is my closest and only friend. What can you say? Beautiful people are just drawn together I suppose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enemies: Everyone who does not fit into my world but if you have to be specific I suppose Lucy Sharpiro would be Public Enemy #1. She’s the only one that I&lt;br /&gt;would barely count as a worthy enough opponent. Barely though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Animal Best Describes You? A peacock. Beautiful and vain. With a lot of reasons to be. And with a strut that shows the world that nothing else can compare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Would Be Your Perfect Date? Taking me somewhere and doing something I have never done before. Quite a tall order when you think about it. It takes no ordinary man to&lt;br /&gt;satisfy me, although I can make it seem otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If It Was the End of the World, What Would You Say? I would say good luck to the rest of you. It’s survival of the fittest and only the best will win. And that of course would be me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strengths and Weaknesses? Strengths: beauty, brains, charm, must we state the obvious? Weaknesses: …&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If You Could Change One Thing About Yourself, What Would It&lt;br /&gt;Be? Change about myself? Please, who would ever try to change perfection?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additional Comments: Count yourself lucky that I had some time before Charles picked me up or I would not have filled out this dumb quiz in a million years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4468120751993336386-4584683730525178654?l=theunlockedcloset.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theunlockedcloset.blogspot.com/feeds/4584683730525178654/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theunlockedcloset.blogspot.com/2009/09/private-survey-take-two.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4468120751993336386/posts/default/4584683730525178654'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4468120751993336386/posts/default/4584683730525178654'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theunlockedcloset.blogspot.com/2009/09/private-survey-take-two.html' title='A Private Survey: Take Two'/><author><name>The Unlocked Closet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03130497303684373971</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gajgIjaXxM8/SihPhvKPnfI/AAAAAAAAAAs/aevKfUUOAp4/S220/closet.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4468120751993336386.post-332217689400967448</id><published>2009-09-22T19:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-22T20:08:56.361-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Preternatural Promo!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: -webkit-xxx-large;

Today in the Unlocked Closet –&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#6666CC;"&gt;Rosy:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Christina, please, no one invited you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6666;"&gt;Christina:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; No one invited you either, Rosaline, but you’re here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#6666CC;"&gt;Rosy:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; That’s because it’s my story, no matter how much you wish it were yours. I bet your book hasn’t even been opened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6666;"&gt;Christina: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;That is not true!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#6666CC;"&gt;Rosy:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; The baker doesn’t count.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#336666;"&gt;Edward:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Girls, girls, no need to fight. As Christina was saying, today in the Unlocked Closet we -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Elana has joined the chatroom.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Elana: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Um…Rosy, Christina, Edward, what are you guys doing here? It's Saturday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#6666CC;"&gt;Rosy:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; You stole my day, Elana. Did you really expect there to be no consequence for that? The Plastic folk are taking over Saturday. And I guess that included Christina. Edward, we really didn’t think this out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#336666;"&gt;Edward:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; She’s right; you can’t just take our day like that. And power in numbers, Rosy, it’ll be fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Elana:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; It was Jenn’s birthday! We were celebrating! You can’t honestly be angry about that. She created you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#6666CC;"&gt;Rosy:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; So then she should’ve known how important having our own day was to us! We’re important! We have 51 points on Textnovel!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Elana:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Look, I’m sorry, I totally overlooked you all. I didn’t realize you would get so upset.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#336666;"&gt;Edward: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;You could have just told us. Some here are reasonable, after all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#6666CC;"&gt;Rosy: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Hey!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Elana:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; No, really, you can have your day. What were you planning on doing, anyway?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6666;"&gt;Christina:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; I was thinking I could perform a song written by me and –&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#6666CC;"&gt;Rosy: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Leave, Christina! I thought I was through with you after you had me kidn –&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#336666;"&gt;Edward:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF0000;"&gt;SPOILER ALERT!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#6666CC;"&gt;Rosy:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Fine! If you must know, Elana, we didn’t have a plan. We worked out how to get in here, but…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Elana:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; How about you just advertise for your story? That’s always fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#6666CC;"&gt;Rosy:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Ever since I was a little girl –&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#336666;"&gt;Edward:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Princes, have you ever gotten tired of –&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#6666CC;"&gt;Rosy:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - my mother wanted me to have the greatest story –&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#336666;"&gt;Edward:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - normal princesses? Well, take a look –&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#6666CC;"&gt;Rosy:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - ever told. I was a disappointment. But –&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#336666;"&gt;Edward:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - inside of our story and you’ll find –&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#6666CC;"&gt;Rosy:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - even though my story is unconventional, I –&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#336666;"&gt;Edward:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - something for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#6666CC;"&gt;Rosy:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - am sure you’ll enjoy it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Elana:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Very nice! Christina, do you have anything to add?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6666;"&gt;Christina:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;If you’d like to read&lt;br /&gt;A great story, indeed&lt;br /&gt;You must follow &lt;a href="http://textnovel.com/stories_list_detail.php?story_id=1247"&gt;this link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And before you can blink&lt;br /&gt;You will find a tale&lt;br /&gt;Of girls, and a male,&lt;br /&gt;The Plastic Slipper&lt;br /&gt;Is the story for you,&lt;br /&gt;Come, let us see you through…&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://textnovel.com/stories_list_detail.php?story_id=1247"&gt;The Plastic Slipper!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4468120751993336386-3206025598997447820?l=theunlockedcloset.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theunlockedcloset.blogspot.com/feeds/3206025598997447820/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theunlockedcloset.blogspot.com/2009/09/its-saturday.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4468120751993336386/posts/default/3206025598997447820'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4468120751993336386/posts/default/3206025598997447820'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theunlockedcloset.blogspot.com/2009/09/its-saturday.html' title='It&apos;s Saturday!'/><author><name>The Unlocked Closet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03130497303684373971</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gajgIjaXxM8/SihPhvKPnfI/AAAAAAAAAAs/aevKfUUOAp4/S220/closet.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gajgIjaXxM8/SrVo7Usl19I/AAAAAAAAAFE/TxrMprmMWZU/s72-c/slip.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4468120751993336386.post-7769993044210454562</id><published>2009-09-18T18:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-18T19:03:09.553-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy Birthday, Jenn!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f326/elanarichardson/crazy.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 655px; height: 403px;" src="http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f326/elanarichardson/crazy.png" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;(Click image for full view!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  color: rgb(78, 78, 78); line-height: 18px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px; font-family:'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: auto; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; width: 778px; "&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;COLOR CODE KEY&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;(this will make sense soon XD)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;|All|&lt;span style="color:green;"&gt;Blaise&lt;/span&gt;|&lt;span style="color:red;"&gt;Oliver&lt;/span&gt;|&lt;span style="color:darkred;"&gt;Sirius&lt;/span&gt;|&lt;span style="color:brown;"&gt;Cole&lt;/span&gt;|&lt;span style="color:indigo;"&gt;Colin&lt;/span&gt;|&lt;span style="color:olive;"&gt;Jared&lt;/span&gt;|&lt;span style="color:darkblue;"&gt;Alec&lt;/span&gt;|&lt;span style="color:cyan;"&gt;Alex&lt;/span&gt;|&lt;span style="color:blue;"&gt;Chris&lt;/span&gt;|&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FFCC00;"&gt;Edward Cullen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;|&lt;span style="color:violet;"&gt;Prince Edward&lt;/span&gt;|&lt;span style="color:orange;"&gt;Matt&lt;/span&gt;|&lt;span style="color:yellow;"&gt;Brodick&lt;/span&gt;|&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jenn gathered up the grocery bags and headed up the walk to her house. Why a sobbing Elana had called in desperate need of a bag of cinnamon, purple sprinkles, three different flavors of pixy stix, a jar of Greek olives, seven thick and creamy strawberry Yoplaits, a gallon of Superman ice cream and three bags of Xtra Cheeze Goldfish was beyond her, but she’d run out to the store to get them nonetheless. The girl had said she’d be meeting her at her house later that night – and repay her, of course - and everything would become clear. Rolling her eyes, Jenn put down one of the bags to search in her purse for her house key before seeing that the door was already open. She searched her memory and remembered locking the door before she’d left – and were those noises coming from upstairs?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Setting down all of her things, Jenn took out her wand and crept into the house. So, yeah, maybe it wasn’t the smartest move to go into a place you think is being robbed, but she had to check it out. Wand at the ready she stepped lightly to the stairwell and proceeded upwards. As she neared the landing she began to her footsteps, lots of synchronized footsteps, and music, coming from her room. Perplexed, she stayed alongside the side of the wall her slightly open door was on to get a better look. She couldn’t believe her eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inside was Elana, all of Jenn’s men, Evan on the bed with a laptop, a light and sound system strung up around the room, and a rack of tuxedos was stationed against the back wall. At the moment, all of the men were coming out of the triangular formation they had been in, laughing together while Elana looked extremely put out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Evan clicked off the music – his A/V club connections had allowed him to sneak out all of the supplies Elana had ord – &lt;i&gt;requested&lt;/i&gt;. She was standing with her fists clenched, a vein in her forehead going wild as she tried to stay calm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Boys,” she said through her teeth, “I called this emergency rehearsal because, good God, this is an emergency! You all came late so we haven’t been able to start until now! You are ruining my choreography! Some of you,” she said dangerously, narrowing her eyes at Alec, “still don’t know the difference between spirit fingers and jazz hands. How are we supposed to put on the perfect show for Jenn if you can’t even get that right?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The laird was humbled from his position in the back, but gave jazz hands a whirl to try and mollify their self-appointed director.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She sighed heavily, shaking her head. “Once more from the top.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The men shuffled into formation, and Jenn couldn’t believe her eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blaise stood apart from the line in the back, and began to sing, the others humming harmoniously in the background as they danced. The music started out soft, slow and soulful, his deep voice matching it perfectly. The lights were dimmed, a single spotlight shining on the Slytherin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color:green;"&gt;When we first met&lt;br /&gt;I knew it could be,&lt;br /&gt;I could never set&lt;br /&gt;You apart from me,&lt;br /&gt;I had a feeling that you&lt;br /&gt;Knew it too,&lt;br /&gt;So now I’m singing this&lt;br /&gt;Song for you,&lt;br /&gt;A message from&lt;br /&gt;Your first - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He paused and was joined off by Oliver and Sirius who all slowly sang in tandem as the music sped up and became more lively,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;- love.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The three stood next to each other, snapping their fingers and shifting their weight from side to side until Oliver, and then young Sirius sang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color:red;"&gt;I love you more than Quidditch&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:darkred;"&gt;I ditched detention for you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:red;"&gt;You’re the kindest witch&lt;br /&gt;I’ve ever known,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:darkred;"&gt;But I can’t have you for my own&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because…&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone stepped to the front in a clump, danced in unison and belted out,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I was made for you&lt;br /&gt;(All of us?)&lt;br /&gt;And you were made for me&lt;br /&gt;(Oh, I see.)&lt;br /&gt;You put me into the Closet&lt;br /&gt;Just to keep me near&lt;br /&gt;You take me out so I don’t fret&lt;br /&gt;I can hear you loud and clear&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A short pause as Chris, Prince Edward, Alec, Alex, Matt and Colin came forward and the others stepped back, dancing in the background, and then&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:blue;"&gt;You gave us life&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:violet;"&gt;We made you our wife&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:orange;"&gt;(Wives?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:cyan;"&gt;(Girlfriends?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:indigo;"&gt;Creator, lover, you’re true&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:blue;"&gt;I was dead&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:violet;"&gt;‘Til I popped out of your head&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:orange;"&gt;And I wouldn’t want it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:cyan;"&gt;Any other way&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:indigo;"&gt;You put me into your story&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:darkblue;"&gt;You gave me Tory&lt;br /&gt;But I came to love you instead&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because…&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All came forward for the chorus again, but this time it was Edward Cullen, Cole, Jared and Brodick who stayed forwards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color:yellow;"&gt;You pulled me out of my book&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FFCC00;"&gt;And gave me another look&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:brown;"&gt;At the life I have to live&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:olive;"&gt;The greatest gift you could ever give&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:yellow;"&gt;So I thank you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FFCC33;"&gt;For all that yo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FFCC00;"&gt;u &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FFCC00;"&gt;do&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:brown;"&gt;For getting me out of those page&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#990000;"&gt;s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because…&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone stepped up for the chorus and clumped together, forming the triangle Jenn had first seen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;And we are wishing you,&lt;br /&gt;Our beloved Jenn,&lt;br /&gt;A very happy birthday&lt;br /&gt;From your Closet men&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The music faded out and Evan turned on the lights for the critique. Elana stood silently for a moment before collapsing on the bed in a huff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You’re hopeless, every single one of you,” she cried, voice muffled by the quilt. Angry, defensive yelling erupted from Jenn’s closet; the women didn’t like their men being spoken to like that. Elana put a silencing charm on the door and yelled in frustration herself. “No one uses the cues, no one can stay on beat, this is useless! After all that time and effort, useless!” She sat up, lower lip quivering, and muttered a spell. A moment later there was an enormous gift-wrapped box in the middle of the room. Pointing at it, she said disappointedly, “Get in, just get in, and you’ll pop out and yell ‘Surprise’ and she’ll never even know the difference.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Actually, she will,” said Jenn with a laugh, stepping into the room. Elana nearly fell off of the bed in shock as all of the boys ran to Jenn, enveloping her in a twenty-six armed hug.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Did you like it?” Alex asked eagerly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Like it? I loved it!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Even though they were all off beat and can’t really sing?” a soft voice from the bed asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Gives it character, we know all about that,” Jenn replied, worming her way out of the group to give her friend a hug. They laughed, and the group reformed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“But I’m confused,” Jenn said. “Why did you need all of those groceries?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“To get you out of the house and give us enough time to practice!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Of course, should’ve known.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=" line-height: normal; font-size:18px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;margin-top: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: auto; margin-left: auto; width: 778px; "&gt;“Happy birthday Jenn!

Somehow we survived public school through eighth grade, but then my parents (or grandparents, rather) thought it would be better for us to continue our education in a finer institution than Englewood High, and so now we’re here.  I tutor those in need.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Friends:&lt;/b&gt; Allyson (Ally) King is my best friend at Wycliffe, although Daniel (Denny) Barnes has climbed up the charts as well.  Of course, Adam and I are extremely close as well, inseparable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enemies:&lt;/b&gt; Remind me again why I agreed to fill this out?  If you must know, the demonic Gwenneth (Gwen) Sinclair and her minion Nicolette Baxter would fall into this category.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Animal Best Describes You?&lt;/b&gt;  I would have to say an ocelot – small (I’m only 5’4”), territorial (Have you ever tried messing with the people I love?), and endangered (They try to beat people like me out of this place).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Would Be Your Perfect Date? &lt;/b&gt;Probably just staying in, lying low.  No need to go out and do something fancy all of the time, although once and a while would be nice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If It Was the End of the World, What Would You Say?&lt;/b&gt; I would be trying to convince the aliens taking over the planet to stop and go back to their own galaxy.

We are so excited that you're reading our blog!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;Jenn:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (this is weird lol)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Elana:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (a bit XD)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;Jenn:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; And so glad we didn't have to resort to paying you to read our blog!  At least not yet anyway lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Elana:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; *high five* So thank you for reading out of the goodness of your hearts! For entertainment! Out of boredom! Whatever your reasons, thanks!  We've been writing and roleplaying together for...geeze, how long has it been now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;Jenn:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; I think 2006 but back then was mainly Harry Potter stuff...ah the memories&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Elana:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Aaaaaaaaaaah Dang. We rock XD That's three - almost four - years of greatness. And a lot of stuff has accumulated over that time. Hence...THE CLOSET.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;Jenn:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; yep yep&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Elana: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;It's quite magical ^^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;Jenn:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Maybe we should explain that a bit more as not everyone understands us and just think we're plain weird&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Elana:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; We are NOT weird! Well...not too much&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;Jenn: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;*pats* sure Elana, whatever makes you feel better about yourself  I, however, will admit to being weird because in my book weirdness means unique which means we're Aw-wait for it and it's not just a few it's-Some&lt;br /&gt;(We're also big fans of How I Met Your Mother, btw.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Elana: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;That is lovely my dear. And this blog is going to be legen - wait for it - dary! So, roleplay...It's super cool. No lie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;Jenn:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; We still haven't talked about the origin of the closet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Elana:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; ...oh dear, it feels like it's always been there!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;Jenn:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; just to rewind because we keep getting off subject (sometimes I don't even know where we are lol)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Elana:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (this happens a lot XD)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;Jenn:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;After we roleplay, we always joke that we put our characters away until next time, I think we "put" them in my cabinet at first right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Elana:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Oh right! Since that's where Sirius still lives!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;Jenn: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;I think Sirius is still in there&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Elana:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Great minds, great minds. But that cabinet couldn't hold so many people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;Jenn: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;after all we each have...I would say over 20 characters each by now&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Elana: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Sounds about right. Again, we rock. So we found a larger storage space that could lock...which happened to be a magnificent closet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;Jenn: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;yep yep, and of course as we slowly moved onto our own original storylines which usually pop up every month or so, we make new characters and stuff THEM into the closet too&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Elana:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; It ended up being quite cramped and stuffy in there, and whenever we opened it up there was a riot. Cranky characters *shakes head sadly* So, after a long discussion...we decided to free them. Mind you, they're still at our beck and call whenever we need them.  They just get to stretch their legs a bit more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;Jenn:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and we've decided to share them with you all! As long as you remember to return them of course&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Elana:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; We did create most, after all. It's simple common courtesy to give them back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;Jenn: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;So there you have it! The history and origin of the Unlocked Closet! Not exactly the Big Bang or anything but hey that's just how it happened&lt;br /&gt;and hopefully you'll be able to enjoy all these characters as much as we did&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Elana: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Agreed! Also, remember that these are works in progress. Any comments you have about them are welcome! Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;And with that...we bid you good day! Until next week!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Jenn and Elana&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4468120751993336386-2798387926725664455?l=theunlockedcloset.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theunlockedcloset.blogspot.com/feeds/2798387926725664455/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theunlockedcloset.blogspot.com/2009/09/babbling-1.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4468120751993336386/posts/default/2798387926725664455'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4468120751993336386/posts/default/2798387926725664455'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theunlockedcloset.blogspot.com/2009/09/babbling-1.html' title='Babbling #1'/><author><name>The Unlocked Closet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03130497303684373971</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gajgIjaXxM8/SihPhvKPnfI/AAAAAAAAAAs/aevKfUUOAp4/S220/closet.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4468120751993336386.post-4659317004159000683</id><published>2009-09-10T22:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-13T16:38:58.033-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Elana'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='princess'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stories'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='story'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chicklit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Unlocked Closet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Plastic Slipper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='textnovel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jenn'/><title type='text'>Royal Ramblings</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f326/elanarichardson/The%20Unlocked%20Closet/The%20Plastic%20Slipper/slipper-1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 450px; height: 200px;" src="http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f326/elanarichardson/The%20Unlocked%20Closet/The%20Plastic%20Slipper/slipper-1.png" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Once Upon A Time there was a –&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Seriously? Are we really going through this again? Don’t you think the whole “Once upon a time” thing is starting to get a little old?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;First off, it isn’t ‘Once upon a time’ it’s ‘Once Upon A Time. Get it right. Secondly, this is how most proper fairy tales start. I wouldn’t know how to start it any other way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, what makes you think that my story is going to be a proper fairy tale? I mean, look at me. Do I look like a proper princess to you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Er, well no. But –&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why I would want my story told like the others? Sitting around, singing as I wait for my prince to come? No thank you. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that men are always late. And time’s ticking mister - er ma’me, giant narrator voice person. You may not know how to start off the story but I do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you firing me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I was actually only going to suggest you take a break as my story probably won’t take that long…but what the hell sure. You’re fired. Go do some radio commercials or something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fine! I don’t need to be here anyway! I have loads of places that need me! Proper princes and princess who wait for months for me to help them with their story. But no…I only came here as a favor to your mother and this is the thanks I get? Next time I oughta tell her where to shove her golden roses…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now that she’s finally gone, where were we? Oh right, I’m Rosaline Kingston, Princess Rosaline Daniella Kingston actually but you can call me Rosy. Everyone does, except for my mother who claims the name Rosy is too plain. But I like it and that’s what I want everyone to call me, you hear that Mother?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where was I? Right, a princess. So yes, I’m a princess and my parents own a kingdom. But before you get all high pitched and excited I should warn you that our kingdom is much smaller then other kingdoms. The smallest actually. Okay, it would probably only take you twenty minutes to reach each side but it’s still a kingdom nevertheless!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess you can already tell I’m not exactly your typical princess so we can skip all those informalities. If you haven’t guessed it…then yeah I’m not. I don’t sew, I don’t sing, don’t ask me to cook (unless what you want to eat is boiled water, then I’m your girl!), and animals tend to bite me. A lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the most important thing is that I don’t wait for my prince to come. I go searching for him. And fight for him when I find him. Especially when my stupid cousin Christina tries to get her claws into him. Because I know, as well as any other woman out there, royalty or not, that if you find such a perfect guy, you’ve got to do all you can to keep him. Even okay ones are pretty rare. Talk about a needle in the haystack. Try field of hay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the funny thing is, even though I’m not a typical princess…in the end, I still achieved my happily ever after. Even though sometimes it feels like I’m just settling. Especially when he starts to drive my nerves by calling me Rosaline to annoy me, but overall we’re happy. I guess when it comes down to it, as long as you strive to be happy you can be. Princess or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if you would, read my story so my mother could be happy. She still hopes that I would become a great princess someday. I don’t want to disappoint her so I often pay people to come and pretend to ask about my story. But…the bills do tend to pile up after a while and keeping up a castle ain’t easy you know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To help out Rosy, read her story &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://textnovel.com/stories_list_detail.php?story_id=1247"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4468120751993336386-4659317004159000683?l=theunlockedcloset.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theunlockedcloset.blogspot.com/feeds/4659317004159000683/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theunlockedcloset.blogspot.com/2009/09/royal-ramblings.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4468120751993336386/posts/default/4659317004159000683'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4468120751993336386/posts/default/4659317004159000683'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theunlockedcloset.blogspot.com/2009/09/royal-ramblings.html' title='Royal Ramblings'/><author><name>The Unlocked Closet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03130497303684373971</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gajgIjaXxM8/SihPhvKPnfI/AAAAAAAAAAs/aevKfUUOAp4/S220/closet.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4468120751993336386.post-2804898953905347598</id><published>2009-09-10T17:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-13T17:55:18.318-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Meet the Cast: Stolen Promises</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gajgIjaXxM8/SqmdnZOjvEI/AAAAAAAAAD4/OlqV7s5G8v0/s1600-h/3.png"&gt;&lt;img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 110px; " src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gajgIjaXxM8/SqmdnZOjvEI/AAAAAAAAAD4/OlqV7s5G8v0/s400/3.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380004529983175746" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Jenn and Elana let the characters run loose to introduce their story.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(78, 78, 78); line-height: 18px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;Alec:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; So how should we start this?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="  color: rgb(78, 78, 78); line-height: 18px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;Gavin:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Er, at the beginning would be good.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;Alec:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Well hell, of course I knew that. I just meant -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;Gavin:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; You should have been more specific then, after all -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#66CCCC;"&gt;Tory:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Oh hush it both of you! Men. They can’t even do a simple thing as tell a story. Jo, why don’t you start it off?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC66CC;"&gt;Jo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Alright then, my story began -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#66CCCC;"&gt;Tory:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Our, Jo, our story!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC66CC;"&gt;Jo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Right, dear, so sorry. Our story began one fateful day when I was just minding my own business at home doing some embroidery for our mother’s birthday and...Oh, dear God Tory we’ve forgotten to give it to her for her birthday. Do you think she’d be terribly angry with us? Of course she would –&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#66CCCC;"&gt;Tory:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; We were kidnapped Jo, I think she’d probably forgive us. Just go on with the story.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;Alex:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Yes, while we’re still young.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#66CCCC;"&gt;Tory:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; At least two of us. There’s no more hope for you two.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;Alex:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Are you talking about us?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#66CCCC;"&gt;Tory: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Course I am. You don’t see anyone else around here with those Highlander wrinkles do you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;Alex:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; But –&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;Gavin:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; JO! The story please!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC66CC;"&gt;Jo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Hmm, so anyway, I was spending the day at home when I received a letter from the king ordering me to Scotland and marry a laird. Politics. So I had to pack that morning, leave that afternoon...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#66CCCC;"&gt;Tory:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; And then I saved the day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC66CC;"&gt;Jo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Or made things worst as we escaped the guards and got lost…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#66CCCC;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tory: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Huh. Well, next time I’ll just leave you alone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC66CC;"&gt;Jo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Not that I'm not grateful! I would've done anything to get out of marrying that laird. But things became more complicated as we were soon found by loathesome barbarians -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;Gavin:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Who are you calling a barbarian, woman?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC66CC;"&gt;Jo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Well, of course I didn’t mean…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#66CCCC;"&gt;Tory:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Believe me, when you first met, she called you much worse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;Gavin: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Interesting. So I rescue you from the woods and saved you from certain death and I’m still called a barbarian? Or even worse?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;Alec:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Don’t forget I helped. And Jo, a simple thank you would suffice. Without us, you would've been found by the Boswells and that wouldn't have ended well...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC66CC;"&gt;Jo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; All right, all right. Thank you!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#66CCCC;"&gt;Tory:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Whatever. We would've been just fine, don't give them the satisfaction!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;Alex: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Wait a minute…Tory aren’t you supposed to be mute?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#66CCCC;"&gt;Tory:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Er…say what?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;Gavin:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Since you obviously cannot continue the story truthfully I think I should take over. After much searching for the Boswell bastards, Alec and I soon stumbled upon the girls. We…picked them up and brought them back to my keep.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC66CC;"&gt;Jo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Kidnapped. The word is kidnapped.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#66CCCC;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tory:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;Although it was an interesting ride.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC66CC;"&gt;Jo: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;I don’t want to talk about it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gavin:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; You would've escaped, I just did what I had to do.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC66CC;"&gt;Jo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; What you did was extremely rude.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;Gavin:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; I can't believe you're still complaining about that. I’ve already apologized.

And by prestigious, it usually means that no matter what the students at Wycliffe Heights do, it will never spread to the press or their permanent records. The unofficial rule is that the more money your family donates to the school the more they turn a blind eye to your antics.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;So it's understandable that the leaders of the school are the children of the obscenely wealthy. Imagine stuck up cheerleaders and jocks with no rules or punishments restraining them and unlimited money at their fingertips. They cater to no one and look down at everyone. This is especially bad news for students who are not of the elite, born with a diamond pacifier in mouth.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;But there are a rare few at the school who were born with regular plastic toys in their hands. And a few even rarer ones who won't abide by the rules of the rich and privileged. No matter what happens.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;High school...is about to get interesting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Check the story out &lt;a href="http://textnovel.com/stories_list_detail.php?story_id=1643"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4468120751993336386-1711475044414612666?l=theunlockedcloset.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theunlockedcloset.blogspot.com/feeds/1711475044414612666/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theunlockedcloset.blogspot.com/2009/09/test.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4468120751993336386/posts/default/1711475044414612666'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4468120751993336386/posts/default/1711475044414612666'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theunlockedcloset.blogspot.com/2009/09/test.html' title='Private'/><author><name>The Unlocked Closet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03130497303684373971</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gajgIjaXxM8/SihPhvKPnfI/AAAAAAAAAAs/aevKfUUOAp4/S220/closet.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gajgIjaXxM8/SqmFPwlmOMI/AAAAAAAAADw/HuJpDfHBqzY/s72-c/buttons.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4468120751993336386.post-6628043134127287317</id><published>2009-06-04T20:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-10T07:40:55.616-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Elana'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='romance'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='author'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='humor'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jenn'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Preternatural'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='roleplaying'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fated Mishaps'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Langtons'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stolen Promises'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stories'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fiction'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='young adult'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Plastic Slipper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='writing'/><title type='text'>And the Madness Begins!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gajgIjaXxM8/Si8OO5fSlQI/AAAAAAAAAC4/Dr9btFlN7jM/s1600-h/fatedd.png"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gajgIjaXxM8/Siv_F4K2EGI/AAAAAAAAACQ/8wiQjJaBL_g/s1600-h/header.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 110px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gajgIjaXxM8/Siv_F4K2EGI/AAAAAAAAACQ/8wiQjJaBL_g/s400/header.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344645859247525986" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Well, like it says in our introduction, Elana and I have put together many of our rps and I in turn put our wonderful creations into stories while she made graphics for each one.

Or any other subject in school for that matter.  It wasn't as though she needed to know history in her everyday life.  Yet when she suddenly finds herself transported back through time, she soon finds herself wishing that she had stayed awake during her hours at school.  Try as she might to blend in, her strange looks and speech along with her smart aleck comments soon land her in the dungeons to await her witch trial.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Stuck in a loveless engagement arranged by her uncle, the Baron Henry Newbury, Lady Evelyn Newbury struggles with her decision to obey her uncle or follow her heart.  Orphaned at a young age, she had vowed to be the perfect picture of a dutiful niece.  Yet Evie discovers that, with her future at stake, she must do what she can to find her own happiness.  As she plots her escape, Evie soon finds an ally in the mysterious stranger in her uncle's dungeons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;FATED MISHAPS follows the adventures of two girls from different time periods as they unexpectedly find a friendship that gives them the strength needed to do what they must to survive betrayal, love, and life. Told through the eyes of the quirky and proud Toni and the caring and naive Evie, this novel is a mixture of humor and adventure that shows readers that some friendships can survive - even time in its most extreme form.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;We'd had the idea for Fated for a long while, but during NaNoWriMo 2008 decided to actually write the story.

For the sake of her family, she left despite her family's protests.  Unable to let her sister sacrifice her happiness, her younger sister Victoria Rose followed her and convinced her to come home.  Together they escaped the king's guards.  The Hawthorne sisters vowed to return home to protect their parents at whatever cost.  Yet they soon found themselves at the mercies of even worst dangers that lurked within the heart of Highlands.

As Gavin stumbles upon Laird Boswell's lovely English betroth and her servant, he decided to take her as his own instead.

Is there anything worse?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Only when you're trying to get through life while attending Wycliffe Heights Academy, one of the richest, most prestigious private schools in the United States. And by prestigious, it usually means that no matter what the students at Wycliffe Heights do, it will never spread to the press or their permanent records. The unofficial rule is that the more money your family donates to the school the more they turn a blind eye to your antics.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;So it's understandable that the leaders of the school are the children of the obscenely wealthy. Imagine stuck up cheerleaders and jocks with no rules or punishments restraining them and unlimited money at their fingertips. They cater to no one and look down at everyone. This is especially bad news for students who are not of the elite, born with a diamond pacifier in mouth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;But there are a rare few at the school who were born with regular plastic toys in their hands. And a few even rarer ones who won't abide by the rules of the rich and privileged. No matter what happens.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;High school...is about to get interesting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gajgIjaXxM8/Si8DgHUeDRI/AAAAAAAAACo/tbWArcAGR8s/s1600-h/slipper.png"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gajgIjaXxM8/Si8DgHUeDRI/AAAAAAAAACo/tbWArcAGR8s/s400/slipper.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345495132967669010" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 111px; " /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;The Plastic Slipper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;“If someone tried to put me to sleep, I’d strangle him with his own poison apple.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty…it was no wonder that of all the princess stories of the past, Princess Rosaline Daniella Kingston’s story was rarely, if ever, told (despite her parent’s efforts). After all, she wasn’t exactly a typical princess. Although lovely, her beauty was lost in the sea of beautiful princesses before her. As her mother stated before “Nice bone structure but she’s no Cinderella…” Combined with being tone deaf and a natural smart mouth, Rosy was as many would say ‘a few diamonds short of a beautiful tiara.’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;But even atypical princesses would have their fair share of enemies. Generally in the form of an evil stepmother. Or in Rosy’s case, in the form of her innocent looking, sweet distant cousin Lady Christina Gwyneth Townsend, who was determined to take Rosy’s place and be the most famous Princess of all. What’s a girl to do when she’s forced by her parents to be a princess she can never be, and hated for being someone she can’t help being? Being a princess sure isn't as easy as it used to be...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We also have a whole new Regency Romance Series that is under construction at the moment so it'll be coming soon!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're interested in reading a few chapters of each, you can check it out at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://theunlockedcloset.moonfruit.com/#"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;http://theunlockedcloset.moonfruit.com/#&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;.

We also have more graphics as well as videos and character photo bases for each story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S There Elana, the first post is just waiting for you to edit and jazz up.  xD You know my writing is blah without you!
