It's been awhile since I updated this, so I felt I should do something. Still working on my book and jewelry, but Cassi has been pushing me to work more on When World's Collide...I'm considering...but really I should be working on the one I'm publishing.

I've even considered going back to writing spoofs...but I don't think I'll go through with it. I just can't get into anymore. I've had a lot on my mind lately. I lost one of my cats... Fra-doo. He was a sweet black cat who for some reason had long white hairs throughout his short black coat... I miss how he used to come up on the bed and annoy me.

I also have a new kitten...I got him before Fra-doo starting going downhill so he's not a replacement. He's a brown tabby that was born with only one eye...his name is Pirate. He has a brother and a sister who both can't see at all. My sister Ireyna got his brother who has no eyes at all and my Mom got the little girl...she has one eye, but it's no good and she's completely blind. Pirate has a half brother that we got also, it's my Dad's. He's an orange tabby. He sees just fine. Bat-Brat is my Mom's little girl is also a brown tabby.

I don't remember what Ireyna called her little boy, but he's a brown tabby and white.

Anyways, that's all for now. Gotta quit.

As on Cassi's page, we've opened a yahoo group for the posting of all our spoofs. And of course anyone else's. We'll take script format, chat room fics, bloopers and other lists and pretty much all the funny stuff that they don't allow here.

If this is something of interest to you, please don't hesitate to drop in. The more, the merrier. You can find us at this link

--Cassi & Sven

A lot has changed as well. I'm not actively writing the spoofs anymore. This is my choice, I have simply lost interest. Sorry to all the fans. Cassi is still at it though and keeps the group site updated.

I've been working on both the book I intend to publish and making jewelry. My mother and I have started a business selling handcrafted jewelry at an affordable price.

I will now update my short bio below and let you see how much I have changed.

FULL NAME: Svenda Astrid Vance-- I still prefer to be called Sven.

AGE:28 This October 9th

HAIR COLOR: A mix of red and mouse brown and grey..yeah I'm getting grey streaks.

EYE COLOR: Steel Gray

MENTAL STATUS: Unsure...probably still insane. Yeah, I'm insane...as you can tell by seeing my reading material

FAVORITE BOOK SERIES: I still love the Xanth series, but I also enjoy reading books on Geology, Volcanism, Meteorology and everything else in that field. Yes, those are nonfiction text books and I read them in my FREE time. I guess I am insane. I also read books on Forensics, and Profiling and that type of stuff...I have some that are on serial killers as well...I TOLD you I was INSANE!! I do have another another thing to mention...

FAVORITE TV SHOW: I have now have 5 of them..(grins) Mythbusters!! That's the first one... Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman are cool! The second show...is Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe. The third is Deadliest Catch, the Northwestern and the Time Bandit are cool..as is the Corniela Marie. Fourth is StormChasers and the fifth is Man vs Wild. (regardless of the controversy surrounding this show, I still like it, Bear is a neat person. I have 3 of his books. I mean he climbed Everest at the age of 23. He is the youngest Brit to reach the summit and then return safely to Base Camp. The 22 year old that reached the summit the following year, died of exhaustion on the descent. Bear is also a christian, it was because of his relationship with Jesus that he survived Everest. So the critics can shut their mouths about him!) Okay, I'm adding a 6th TV Show...Macgyver...although...Murdoc is my favorite character. As for the series I have the entire thing from 1rst through 7th season..hopefully Cassi doesn't read this...she doesn't know...I haven't finished watching them yet, so I can't lend them out. I am making screencaps of all the Murdoc Episodes. (grins) I have a new screen capture tool. I LOVE it!! Let me add New World Zorro to this list as well. I like Alcalde Luis Ramone!

Okay, there is another one I will add to this, even if it only counts as a short mini-series...that would be the SciFi channels Tin Man...I always did like cops... I watched it after I bought the DVD for my Dad, who saw it on television. I caught a short glimpes of it one night while he was watching it and got interested. But it wasn't until I bought and gave him the DVD that I actually got to watch it. I LOVED it..and then ordered myself a copy. Which I have watched several times. IYeah, I know. I'm weird. I don't watch the things that everyone else likes to watch. I actually watch very little television. Besides I keep myself busy. I'm even a trained storm spotter...(I live in Kansas aka Tornado Alley) So I do other things instead of watching a lot of television. I think I have to sleep now, I've mentioned enough about my pathetic and insane life for now.

FAVORITE MOVIE: Watchmen! I love Rorschach... I can't believe they had to kill him! It wasn't fair!

And of course there is one more thing I have to add. I want to mention who my best and closest friend is. That would be my Lord and Savior Jesus... or Yeshua in Hebrew.

John 3:16

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.

I think that pretty much says it all.
