Where I was all like, "Lolz, I haven't updated since April. I promise to do better"

Oi.

I haven't updated this journal since April. That's a rather long time. But I've become more active lately, so here it be.
Here it be. That's a pirate-y thing to say, which reminds me that my book 'Pirattitude' is coming in on Wednesday so that I can learn to talk like a proper pirate before Talk Like a Pirate Day Begins on the 19th.
I've been hired as a protector, for someone afraid of pirates. Her username is kassie on deviantart.
So that's that, and I'm about to go to bed, because my mom has a headache and is going early. I hope to write more often, because I can.

Jessie.

I had something to say, I really did.
Now it's gone.
