Well, today is Holly's last full day visiting :(. It's Fourth of July though, so it's been a good day! Above is a picture of the sunset from my dad's office (where we watched the fireworks from). In the photo below you can see all of the insanity of the thousands upon thousands of people that we avoided by watching fireworks from my dad's office :D.
Here's just a few of the fireworks--poor quality since it's from my blackberry through a window...
And just a few more fireworks... again, poor quality :/
In other news, the Fandom Gives Back auction closed last night at 11:59pm. It's an auction in which thousands of Twilight fans bid on authors of fanfiction (some of these authors prove to be HUGELY talented with their writing) with all proceeds going to Alex's Lemonade Stand, a childhood cancer charity. Payments started coming in today for the auctioned stories (which range from outtakes to full multi-chapter fictional pieces) and the current donation numbers are over $93,000 (up from last year's $87,000)! Check out the FGB ALSF site to see the number continue to grow! People may judge those in the Twilight fandom, but they prove to a powerful tool for a truly amazing foundation's research efforts (I myself donated and I am so excited to be part of such a generous group of people!)
I encourage you to donate to Alex's Lemonade Stand sometime if you can--it's a really great cause and even $1.00 will help!
It's about time for me to conclude tonight's post, but here's a few fun things:
What I'm currently watching: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
What I'm reading: Catching Fire, the second Hunger Games novel by Suzanne Collins
What I want for my birthday (even though it's still almost 2 months away): the new Kindle (I have the original edition without the pdf reader--I'd love to be able to load pdf's on!)
That's all for now, have a wonderful night!
