Cursing aloud, she succumbed to the storm, sitting up and opening the drawer on the nightstand beside her. Inside, beside the mandatory hotel bible was an unopened bottle of Tylenol.  Hastily, she opened it quickly, brushing her auburn hair aside from her mouth as she placed the pills on her tongue and swallowed hard. What was she thinking, leaving so suddenly, without a plan in tow?  ---Second Chances.

August Photo Competition Winner: Tigre!

Meet Bre Aponi's Tigre.

Member of the Month for August: Samantha Julius.

Well as you know my name is Samantha and I'm from Christchurch, New Zealand. I am a single mother to my lovely 2 year old daughter, Bella-Rose. I was born 9/8/1991 and have lived in Christchurch all my life. It's an okay place to live but everything is limited after the earthquakes. I have a lot of hobbies so I don't know if I should list them all but I like art, reading, photography, poetry, writing, pen palling. I'm obsessed with Vintage/Victoriana, in love with music, I love Tim Burton movies, my favorite holiday is Halloween and admittedly still gets dressed up myself. If I had to describe myself in 5 words I'd say I'm energetic, quiet, shy, lovely and blunt (and yes there are some conflicting traits in there). I started pen palling through interpals and it had always been something I wanted to try but I was a lot younger at that point. I started pen palling when I was 18. The only thing I dislike when I comes to pen palling is pumping out a long letter and only receiving a short response back. I have about 15 pen pals including some inmates. Mostly from America. I don't specifically look for anything in a pen pal, just people I have some common interests and hobbies with. I've never used a friendship book before I still don't quite know what they are about? I get most of my pen pals from interpals or in group (only joined to true friendship) I left another group after some drama. I don't like drama. I keep track of my letters by organization of a folder with a label sticker with the pals name on it. And I also put 'replied' written on the very bottom left hand corner on the back of the envelope. Just so I can remember if I have replied yet or not... I can sometimes be quite forgetful. I've been thinking of jazzing my organization skills up a little so if anyone has some pointers I am glad to accept
