I have exactly nine days of school left.

CAN YOU FREAKIN BELIEVE IT??

I am so close to being done with school that I feel light-headed and a little sick. And I think I am excited until I think about being an adult and having responsibility and then I am like...

*takes a moment to think.* "No."

It isn't just graduating either. See, I have a plan. It is a terrifying plan. At the end of the summer I am planning to move off the hill with my brother and nanny for his kids. And take an acting class at a big college. With other actors. And I have to learn to drive. And it scares the crap out of me, because WHAT IF I FAIL?? AND WHAT IF THIS IS THE WORST PLAN EVER?? AND AM I REALLY MOVING SO SOON????????

I'm overwhelmed.

Luckily I wont be too far from home so I will be able to visit pretty often, but I'm still freaked out. I need lots of prayers, especially about my driving. Y'all need to pray I can learn to drive by August. 

My brother is all...

I believe in you!

and I'm like

This is too much

I love my brother. He is very excited for me. He just wants me to be happy and act and do stuff on broadway and he is so incredibly supportive. Like, really supportive. Really really supportive. Like, LET ME HELP YOU LIVE YOUR DREAM! WE CAN DO ALL THE THINGS!

And I kind of go... "Okay. But maybe uhm... slow down a little?"

Did I mention I love my brother? Cause I do. A lot. 

Okay that is out of the way. I want to ride my bike every day this summer, so today I took my first bike-ride of the year. LOL. That was funny. I didn't take a long ride because I knew I wouldn't be used to bike riding, but even though I took a short ride I still came back with my legs wobbly. And they wanted to kick out when I walked. It was weird. I forgot how weird it was to walk after riding for the first time in months. You feel disconnected from yourself. 

Jelly legs!!

 Guess what else today is!! Today is May 6th. For some reason it sounded familiar and I thought this must be some significant day. So I looked it up and I figured out why it sounded familiar. On May 6th, 1541 King Henry the VIII ordered that a bible be placed in every church in England. Applaud me, I am a giant nerd. How did I know that? I have no idea. 

Apparently it May sixth is also the date that the NY to SF footrace began. But that happened in 1929. And on this same day in 1604, the Spanish poet Leon VII published his first poem.

You learn something knew every day don't you?

I am currently studying for finals, writing out the history of my fictional world and making a new video to the Eleventh Doctor. I am also reading The Conspiracy of Kings and feeling a severe lack of Eugenides. But I like Sophos. Sophos is great. Sophos is brilliant. Sophos is not Eugenides. And he doesn't try to be. I thank him for that because he is good as just Sophos. 

SOPHOS HO! 

Time for me to scamper off. OH! One last thing! Treskie over at Occasional Randomness  is doing a giveaway! you should check it out. It's pretty cool. 

With that I am gone! PEACE OUT Y'ALL!

I have nothing to post.

HEY GUUUUUYS.

This is going to be a quick-quick post cause I have a ton of writing to do tonight. Like a TON.

But I just finished Science for the year. Like just now!!!!!!

I DID TWO MONTHS OF SCIENCE TODAY YOU GUYS!!!

TWO FREAKIN MONTHS!!!!

source

Unfortunately that means I haven't even LOOKED at my story today.

Remember what I said. I'm doing lots of writing tonight!! *cackles frantically*

Guys I am so wired right now.

I only have two weeks left of school too. Except Math. I'll have math till sometime later in June, cause I'm behind. But everything else I'll be done with soon. That makes me happy. Very, very happy. I wish I had chocolate. And not Vegan chocolate either.

Also, I didn't get the job at the Paddle Board Shop BUT I was offered a job at this little sandwich place in town. And it sounds like I will probably get it. The lady was really excited to hear from me and I'm hopeful. Please pray!! Money, guys. I'd like money. I don't even have a penny. You have any idea how sad that is for me?? *Frowns*

I have no snippet to share with you tonight. I'm sorry. I just don't have the Oomph to post my writing right now. But I found a new Michael, one who actually LOOKS like Michael.

source

I'm still looking for the right Tyson though. And I can NOT cast Dimitri and Nightly for the LIFE of me. They are just too different. No one I've seen has been able to capture their appearance. You'll just have to use your imagination. *Grin* But I'll try and give you a snippet tomorrow. I promise. *nervously giggles*

That's all. I told you this was going to be a quick post. :) Peace out y'all. God bless!!

Crazy? I prefer Mentally Hillarious

 

One of the best things I've ever experienced is opening a book for the first time, reading all day with no stops, and finishing it before bed. Those are the type of books I tend to cherish the most and the ones I feel the best connections with. But it sucks because they're over so quickly and then you're on a high for weeks afterward. I've hit that point. Not only have I finished The Thief series, the Percy Jackson series and am just about done with Diana Wynn Jones, but I'm also on a temporary hiatus with every fandom I have.

 

This means I'm going a bit crazy. I mean, more than usual. I find myself sporadically consumed with feels and wild jumps of fangirl energy. I haven't felt like this since .... Since Merlin ended. I suddenly understand Anderson.

source

The upside to this is that my mixed emotion and traumatized feelings have given me a lot of inspiration for my story. Yep, you heard me. The story that is full of plot holes and frustrating twists and characters who don't do as there told and dragons who aren't where they're suppose to be EVER. Guys, this story is a mess. Every time I step back to take a better look I think to myself, you know what? I'm not exactly sure where  I was heading with this. I have the general idea but I'm  not exactly sure how to get it there. But here is what I do know.

The Dark Elves and the Fey had their last battle, the Dark Elves were caged up deep beneath the core of the earth, but now, after hundreds of years, they are breaking free. The only people who can stop it are an outcast boy, a failed Guardian, a rebel apprentice, a pirate's son and two brothers who have been branded traitors to the crown.

Look-e there! I have a Plot!!!!!!! I've been having to go back and do a lot of revising, and I've trashed a couple chapters which bore no point to the story, but otherwise I haven't been able to progress at all. My characters are starting to get angry with me. They're starting to talk to me. They wake me up in the wee hours of the night and drag me from bed to make me tell their story. When it ends up as editing and revising, they sit next to me, breathing down my neck and making me nervous. There is one character in particular that I have become incredibly fond of, who has a bad habit of running of without permission. He's too brave for his own good and he has a problem with loyalty. Seriously, he is incredibly loyal, I've never written anyone quite so loyal. He's maddeningly loyal, that's what he is.  And he makes promises, dangerous promises that can't always be kept.

I hate him *headdesk*

Besides my writing I've been just kind of lazing about. I've started doubling up in school so I can have some vacation time in March because a very special friend is coming out and I don't want to have work while she is here. I hate doubling up. I spend hours in my room and when I finally emerge my hands are cold almost beyond fixing. Backrooms man, they are the worst. They're like you're own private Antarctic. My room is so cold that you can usually see your air in it. Its no fun. Good thing I have my trust brown hoodie. That thing is freakin AWESOME. I don't know what I'd do without it
.

Oh, I've restarted Jillian Michaels. I missed how strong it made me feel and how I was able to run without panting, and I missed feeling energetic. It actually isn't so bad this time.I still feel shaky and weak when I finish, but I've found a good way to push myself through. I just think of a fictional character I especially hate and vent my anger into the exercise. It works, truly it does.

I'm gonna end with that, cause' I've got nothing more to say.


God Bless!

Another Song and a Giveaway winner

Day Fourteen of this Song Challenge - a Song no one would expect you to like. I decided on this one:

Try

I actually do like this song - until the end. I always stop the song before it finishes because I feel like it goes on too long. You gotta get up and TRY TRY TRY, you gotta get up and TRY TRY TRYYYY you gotta get up and TRY TRY TRY you gotta get up and TRY TRYYYYY TRYYYYYYYYYYY!! you gotta get up and - *stops music* :)

'

Now that that's out of the way I can get to fun stuff! YAY!

First, the giveaway winner 

*drumrooooooooooooooooollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll*

Congratulations Amy!!! You've won a Fandom pin !

So, Amy, you get to pick any pin you like. and I will personally deliver it myself *Grin*

Now for more fun stuff

I've started reading the Lord of the Rings Trilogy again, because I'm in that sort of mood and feel lonely for Middle Earth. I've only read it once before and I'm actually enjoying them more this time. I especially love Merry. Dear Merry.... *sigh*

Speaking of reading, this year for School I get to study the Greek myths. Ya' know, Poseidon and Hades and Athena. I even get to write a myth at some point, which is totally exciting! I've never been able to write a myth before! I'm not even nervous! Okay, you got me. I am nervous. In fact I haven't been this nervous in a while. I'm not much good when it comes to writing stories, how will I accomplish writing a myth? I mean, it should be really fun and amazing - but a bit terrifying too. I'm sort of conflicted between wanting to dive in and wanting to bolt for my life. School should be interesting this year

That reminds me. I feel like I need to let all of you writers out there a very special something about me. I am not a writer. I'm more of a dreamer-on-paper who never finishes what she starts. I have hundreds of stories rattling around in my head but I never actually get around to writing them down. And even if I do, they never get finished. They reach a midway point and then get shoved under some distant bed or behind some dusty dresser where they sits until I have another Inspiration Flash some months later. Then I'll scribble furiously, rip out some pages, rewrite a character, bit down my finger nails, freak out and leave my story abandoned. Who needs to write anyway? I can act.

On that note I will leave you. I have a evening of reading to get through and my tea kettle is screaming at me for attention. It knows I need it after the Once Upon a Time I saw today. So I will bid a farewell to you all.

God Bless!

Where there is desire there is gonna be a flame/ Where there is a flame someones bound to get burned/ But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die/ You gotta get up and Try, try, try/ You gotta get up and Try, try, try...... 

Traaaaaaa Laaaaaaa! Its May!.....

This post is three days late, but I want you all to know I haven't forgotten you. I've been really sick for the past few days and I've been sleeping quite a bit. So here's a little hello for all of you :)

Spring is finally here, meaning we've been getting glorious blue skies and sparks of green. SUMMER IS ON ITS WAY!!! I'm very glad. You can only enjoy the snow for so long, ya' know?

What have I been up to recently? Oh, this and that. I've fallen in love with Once Upon a Time, mainly because of Rumpelstiltskin. He is SO AWESOME. Yes he's a bad man, but he isn't Wholly bad. I know there is still good in him. And his back story is really, really sad. He is undoubtedly my favorite character of them all.

My dad has started watching the Original Star Treks again. I am unashamed to say I still enjoy those and I think they are way better than any of the newer ones.

Kirk is the best captain of them all, I swear it.

 



I'm trying to write a play (haha!) as well as a book (Double haha!) so I've been a bit busy. I have to stop editing this chapter. Its okay, just keep going, move on, work on it later. Yeah. Coffee anyone? 

 

I'm trying to finish up my school year, so I may not be posting as much. I want to finish at least in JUNE this year. Last year wasn't such a good scene :) 

 

There you are now. A few updates :) how have you all been? Anything interesting happen to you lately? Any talking Pineapples? tell me all!

 

 

 

 

God Bless!

Its a danerous business walking out your front door. You step into a road. If you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you'll be swept off to.

"I love school!.........." Said no one ever.

I absolutely despise sending in papers. It is not my joy in life. For one thing, I always forget to start correcting until week seventeen or eighteen. For another, the school we are going through, Our Lady of Victory seems to enjoy dumping as much school work as possible on your plate *evil chuckle* it is a good school - a credited and everything! - but do not get me started on their History lesson plans. 

Today you will do 20 questions with HORRIFICALLY long answers, two 200+ book reports, an essay and a chapter review on the Donner Party Tragedy. Don't forget your work sheet! 

Okay maybe not that bad. but you get what I mean. However *drum roll* I am now on

week 20 in history!!!!!! *dances* I'm on week 24 in Science which is awesome :) 

I've given up making music video's for the remainder of Lent :'( But I have a couple songs I have yet to share with you and here is one of them.

Arthur and Gwen - All I ask of you

I will save the 2nd one for later. One day I promise I will do a video that ISN'T about love. One day.

For anyone in need of a good read, here is a series of books that are completely brilliant in every way. They are the best family in the world, I swear.

.

"a summer tale of four girls, two rabbits

and one very interesting boy"

source

source

source

These books are about four sister living in an ordinary family with an ordinary house, and getting into ordinary mischief. They are not bad girls, quite the opposite. Trouble just seems to follow them where ever they go, whether they're on a family vacation or on their home street in Cameron, Massachusetts. I adore them. They can be read at basically any age and if you are in need of a good, solid read, I recommend The Penderwicks. You won't be disappointed. 

I listened to Newsies yesterday. There is something special about a bunch of News boys standing up and going on strike. They are soooo awesome. I get a rush every single time I listen to them. 

Source

This scene takes place right after Jack Kellie, the leader of the Newsies, decides to go on strike. One of my favorite scenes - "AND THE WORLD WILL KNOW!" *Eep* 

I've began Level 2 of the thirty day shred. It is a bit more intense then level 1.

First I was like

I am sore...... I am very much sore... I am sore everywhere.

Then I was like - But look what I can do now! I'm strong, I'm a beast! :)

So yeah, all going well.

For some odd reason or another, I desperately want to watch Rigoletto again. It is by Feature Films for Families and it is one  of their best films in my opinion.  

source

Its a Beauty and the Beast story .... with music. *grin* Here is the summary -

       Things are not going well in the depression-era town of Castle Gate. Mr. Ribaldi, a mysterious rich man with a disfigured face and an abrasive personality, has just bought and moved into a long-vacant mansion. Bonnie, an adolescent girl who loves to sing, ends up working for Ribaldi so that her family can stay in their house. But Ribaldi is quite an accomplished musician himself, and he is soon giving Bonnie voice lessons. Meanwhile, local businesses are being shut down by foreclosures, and the townspeople suspect Ribaldi is responsible. 

source

The summary doesn't do it justice. It is brilliant either way. A good watch :) Unfortunately there is no trailer - I did look. The only thing I found was Part 1. I don't think anyone wants to watch the beginning seven minutes of Rigoletto.  

I'll be back!............soon. But don't worry. The future is safe. Very safe. Sleep well.
