Tribute to the dead

Boone died! I am so upset. He was one of my favorite characters on Lost. He was brave up to the end. It was heroic of him to not let Jack take his leg so it will save the antibiotics for the others.

Here is some facts for his memories:

Played by: Ian Somerhalder

Reason for the Flight: He went to Sydney to get Shannon and they were returning home

Profession: Chief Operating Officer of his mother's wedding business

Boone Facts:
  • Pre-Crash: When Boone was a kid, his mother married Shannon's father. Shannon was a couple of years younger than Boone and he was always in love with her. He often got her out of bad situations. More than once he paid men to leave her, but realized Shannon was scamming him in order to get money. When Shannon herself was scammed, she went to Boone and the two slept together. Shannon told him things would return to the way they were. They got on Flight 815 to return home.
  • Island: Boone wanted to help people, but didn't have the skills that Jack has. Before long, he found a friend in Locke and the two found a hatch that they dug out and tried to get into. After 41 days on the island, Boone was killed by injuries sustained from falling in an airplane that he climbed into following Locke's instructions and visions.

Strong Relationships: Locke, his mentor

Rocky Relationships: Shannon, his stepsister with whom he had a love/hate relationship

Flashback Episodes:
Episode 1x13, Hearts and Minds

Boone Carlyle's Story:
Flashbacks
Season 1 Storylines

Character Connections:
Shannon: Boone and Shannon are stepbrother and stepsister.
Sawyer: When Sawyer was arrested, he walked behind Boone in the Australian police station. (Ep: 1x13, Hearts and Minds)
Sayid: Sayid asked Shannon to watch his bag in the airport, but in a fight with Boone, Shannon told airport security that an Arab man had left his bag, and Sayid got in trouble.
(Ep: 1x23, Exodus Part 1)



I will always love you Boone!! <3

An update

Helllloooo!

I know I know. I have been really MIA lately but I am back. I was sick with strep but I am glad that is over and I am better. I am all caught up with school work finally and this weekend I took it to rest and relax. I started a new sock on Tuesday though because I was stressed out because of trying to catch up on everything. Don't worry mom, I knitted during the three hours of meetings I had so I wasn't missing studying time. This weekend, I really sat down and worked on it. And guess what! I finished it. I love the colors. I got this yarn from The Loopy Ewe. For my third sock (I have already made one pair of socks) I am happy how this turned out. I made a lot less mistakes this time. YAYYYYYYY! I still need to finish the other and will work on it during Thanksgiving break. Which starts on Tuesday. I am excited about break because I do love being home. I get to eat with the Woods on Wednesday which I am pumped for because I miss them dearly. Plus I am jealous mom gets to see them all the time and I don't. Also, who doesn't love a good homecooked meal (which I hope dad cooks. Just kidding mom!)

So back to knitting. I taught my roommate how to knit and she is doing greatly. She is working


on a scarf for her brother for Christmas. It looks amazing. Although she is still working on it, she left it in her boyfriend's room. Because of this, she was bored while I was knitting last night so I made her start a hat. She is getting very frustated with it but it looks great. I had to sneak into her room (well walk in because the door was open) and take the picture. Sorry Ashley, but I wanted to show off your skills. Plus look at her book. She is very proud of this book. Must be an anthropology thing. I am very proud of her and her mad knitting skills.


Also, she has gotten me into the TV series LOST. Oh my! Is that a good show. I watch part of season one but the library didn't have the other parts of the season checked in so I will have to wait. Other then that, not much is going on. I am re-reading a book called Slacker Girl. It is an amazing book. Any TR major should read this book as well as any body else. I decided that is how I want my life to be when I finish college for a few years. Who knows where life will take you. But it is an amazing book. READ READ READ it!

Other then that, not much is going on at Longwood. UVA plays VT on Saturday. I am excited about the game! Who isn't? GO HOOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
