Help me, you presumptuous climber! Nyaw, nyaw!"

Barry Allen.

Mine was page one of something different, kind of frightening, and also a little exciting..

Today I finally moved out.

It was a strange feeling. I didn't feel like it was really happening until I got into my brother's car and drove away. That when it sunk in that I would no longer being staying in my little green house for the majority of the time, but with my brother and his girls and... it was really weird.

I hugged all my sisters goodbye like, three times. They acted like I was going to the moon, and when I started to pull out of the driveway, a tiny part of me felt like that was exactly where I was going. In reality I am only an hour away, but it seems longer somehow, when I am in my brothers' house, listening to the silence and blogging. 

I thought I would be a lot more scared. I'm a little scared, a little nervous, but I think that is normal when you leave your home for the first time. Mostly I'm pretty okay with it - even a little excited.I know I will need time to adjust, but I don't think that will be as hard as I originally thought. I feel like this is page one of an interesting 2016, and I hope the others pages will be as nice as this one. 

My family tried to make my "Going-Away" as nice as possible. They even had Epiphany in the wee hours of the morning so that I could join in, even though we usually do that in the evening. I had a lovely Epiphany. We all woke up about six o'clock in the morning, and watched the tree blink for a bit, and soon Sausage-buns were being handed out, and coffee was served, and the Epiphany gifts were passed around. I got this epic light that looks like a candle holder and has butterflies and flowers all over it. Some of them come out a little, like they're 3D. It has a little tray on that top that you can put wax it. The light underneath burns the wax, and it smells amazing. Or at least, I expect that it would. Unfortunately I left my wax at home this morning. My sister said she'd take care of it for me, and bring it up on my birthday... But it seems so long.

I still love the light though. It is fun. (I'd show you a picture, but I don't have any right now. *sad face* )

 It was pretty cool. There is this little girl who comes over to play all the time. Her name is Lisbeth. (well... sort of.) Anyway, we asked her if she could come over on Epiphany at the beginning of December. She seemed thrilled about it, and promised to ask her parents. We planned to have her stay all month, and at the last minute her mom said no, she couldn't stay. But see, Lisbeth didn't have much of a Christmas, so we had to have her for Epiphany! So later that night, Lisbeth showed up with her Grandpa and my mom, who is brilliant, went over to Lisbeth's house and talked to her Mom. And her Mom let her come! Lisbeth was so happy!!! It was fun, because in the morning she had gifts under the tree, both from the Wisemen, and Father Christmas! She was so excited. It was adorable.

We have a habit and turning friends into family members. I guess we are a lot like that family in While You Were Sleeping. I knew we were... I just didn't realize how much.

Well, it's time I toddle off. I am finished with my tea and quite ready for bed. I figure it's good to go to sleep early, since my stupid cold still hasn't let me drown it in hot water and herbs yet.

I hope you all had a blessed Christmas Season and New Years! I hope and pray that this year is better then the last, and that God might grant us a good leader for our country.

Civil War is less than five months away!

Peace Out Y'all!!

Happy Late New Year!

Rose Tyler

Happy Be-lated New Year all of you! I'm sorry I wasn't here for the big day, I had a nice post planned and everything, but I was quite, quite ill on New Year's and was sleeping for most of the day. which means I have to do yet another post a day late and a dollar short. Its becoming a bad habit with me. *sigh*

To celebrate the arrival of January and hope for the new page of the story, I've decided  to  do Ally's tag from last year.

What did you do in 2013 you'd never done before? 

Want to know something terrible? I can't think of anything! I.. erm... I finished Tenth Grade. I started a book that I actually might finish. I started making music videos.....

Real busy year.

Did you keep your New Year's resolutions and will you be making a new one? 

I don't do Resolutions. They never really work out for me and then I feel like a loser.

Did anyone close to you give birth?

No, but two of my sisters are expecting!!

Did anyone close to you die?

My best friend's dad passed away last year and he was a really good family friend so that was very hard.

What countries/states did you visit?

I went to Idaho for a couple of weeks where I met two of my bloggy friends which was very fun indeed. I also go to Nevada twice a month but that doesn't really count cause we only live about 40 minutes away from the border.

What would you like to have in 2014 that you lacked in 2013?

I'd like to have a better mind-set when it comes to school because... I'm really unmotivated when it comes to school. I would also like a role in a play/musical

What date from 2013 will remain etched upon your memory? 

August 31st, the Day our family reunion began - hands down the best day of the year.

Did you move anywhere

Erm...no.

What was the Best month?

September, the month my entire family was altogether and there was an overwhelming amount of adorable wee-ones rushing about the premises.

What was your biggest achievement of the year?

Passing 10th Grade Math.

What was your biggest failure?

I didn't finish NaNo :''(

What was the best thing you bought? 

Once Upon a Time Season 2. That show...*sigh*

Whose behavior merited celebration? 

I can't answer that......

Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?

A certain black man of high authority.

Where did most of your money go?

Christmas Presents!!!!

What's the best concert you've been to this year?

I didn't go to a concert this year :(

What song or Album will always remind you of 2013? 

Probably any song from Imagine Dragons, but especially River.

Compared to this time last year are you:
1. Happier or Sadder - Happier
2. thinner of fatter - About the same
3. Richer or poorer -  eh, so-so. We're definitely not rich

What do you wish you'd done more of?

I wish I'd been able to take a couple more acting classes, that would've been nice.

What do you wish you'd done less of? 

I shouldn't worry so much, I need to relax a little. Also, I probably shouldn't spend quite so much time on Pinterest... *blush*

How did you spend Christmas?

At home with my family, just like always.

How are you spending your New Year?

Well I spent most of my New Year napping because I wasn't particularly well, but I was able to come out and enjoy a lovely meal with my family and do a little bit of celebrating during the evening. I was really tired though, which sucked.

Who did you spend the most time on the phone with?

My best friend Sammi!

What was the best book you read? 

I really loved The Castaways of the Flying Dutchman, and The Angels Command. Those were both brilliant books. So was Leap of Faith but that's not a new discovery or anything. I read it every now and then to life my spirits. Its so sweet and beautiful and sad ... *sniffle*

Did you fall in love in 2013?

Unless fictional characters count, no.

What was your favorite TV Show? 

Oh I had a couple....

Once Upon a Time is a fairly new show and I, personally, quite like it. It is really fun and exciting and it has some really brilliant characters in it. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a little fantasy with some magic, sword-fights and a truly amazing villain. But be warned - its the type of show that could have been EPIC, and as it is, its good and you enjoy it. My favorite characters are Rumplestiltskin and Belle. Love story aside, both these characters are interesting, well acted and fun to learn about. I also really like Neal and Henry.

Rumplestiltskin and Belle

Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate at this time last year?

No, but there are some people I don't really like anymore.

What did you want and get? 

A new Computer. Oh, and a brown hoodie. That was the best moment of Christmas Morning you guys.

What did you want and not get? 

I didn't get to take that Broadway class at the College which is really sad for me.

What were your favorite films of this year?

Does this mean New-Releases or movies I've only just watched this year? I'm going with movies I watched :)

Angel in the House- incredibly cute, family-friendly movie with a beautiful message and a touching storyline. Definitely worth your time.

Frozen - Disney's newest animated movie, enjoyable and fun to watch with just an undertone of seriousness and the little romance that Disney always has.

Monsters University - A prequel to Monsters Inc. Pixar delivered a wonderful cartoon that had you surprisingly emotional and gave you a nice, happy feeling everywhere. I loved it :)

Rise of the Guardians - One of the best movies you'll ever watch. Just go find it and you'll see why its one of my favorites!

Thor; the Dark world - I think Thor is an incredibly underrated avenger. I've always liked him and in this last movie he was really amazing and brilliant, and he and Loki were a lot of fun to watch. I do wish people would stop saying Loki is a hero, or that he's better than Thor. I love Loki, I do, and I think there is good still in him and he could be redeemed and make a turn-around, but he is a bad man and he deserves what he gets. That being said, I really liked him and Thor working together in this movie. Brother stories, man, they're the best. Brother and Friendship stories - nothing like them. They're my favorite.

What did you do on your birthday and how old were you?

Wow. Okay, give me a minute while I think back to January of last year. I believe I spent the day with my family, watched a fun movie and had my best friend over for the night. I can't remember the movie, but I think I got a Taylor Swift CD and some Pajama's. Anyway, it was a lovely day.

How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2013? 

I tried really hard to adopt Belle's style from Once Upon a Time, But mostly I was all over the board.

What kept you sane? 

Well, I'm already insane, so the better question is; What kept you functioning? - My amazing friends, both on my street and online. My Family. My obsessions and Fandoms. My books. Looking forward to Christmas.

 What celebritie/public figure did you fancy the most? 

Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, Arthur Darvill

This is a tricky one, because there are a lot of actors I've seen this past year that I have quite liked/ I really like Matt Smith and his mates Arthur Darvill and Karen Gillan, they are brilliant. But I suppose the two actors whom I just discovered and fell in love with would be these guys.

Jared and Jensen

 

They just seem so sweet, so descent and normal.

What would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? 

Not freaking out so much over things I can't control. Well, no freaking out on the whole would have been nice :)

Meme

What Political Issue stirred you the most? 

I don't pay attention to politics but there was one thing that caught my interest. You have probaby all heard of the show Duck Dinesty. Its a Live-TV shows that feauture these firm, Christian men and their families and their daily lives. Well, one of these fellows was asked his opinion on the....queers, and he said he didn't agree with it. That's it. The station that asked the question went into an uproar and threatened to throw him off the show, but his family said they would stop the show if their Uncle wasn't allowed back on and the next thing you knew, the Uncle was in the next episode! But seriously guys, what the heck? If you ask a Christian who is obviously VERY DEVOUT in his faith, what his view are on immorality, what do you expect him to say? there were hundreds upon thousands of people defending this man, some of them being Queer people themselves. It was crazy.

Who did you miss? 

Oh, my family mostly. and a couple good family-friends that live a long ways away and whom we don't get to see very often.

Who was the best person you met? 

I don't meet a whole lot of people. I'm very isolated here, in this tiny neighborhood in the mountains. I didn't really meet anyone this year, but I got to know some people better - especially my bloggy friends!

Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2013

Emma Swan



 

I'm not so worried about what people think anymore. I've always been more outgoing then the rest of my family, but its hard sometimes, to just be me and not care, especially when people you know don't seem to approve. But I figure, God made me so he must want me the way I am, quirks and all, and I shouldn't try to be anyone but me.

Now I feel all cheesy and chick-flicky.....

Quote a song or lyrics that sums up your year.

 

Just because everything's changing

doesn't mean its never been this way before

 

All you can do is try to know who your friends are

as you head off to the war.

Pick a star on the dark horizon and, follow the light!

I'll come back, when you call me.

No need to say goodbye.
