Hi everyone....sorry I haven't really been on lately, I've been busy!!!
First of all, we are STILL trying to get the Wi-Fi to work at our house, and it's giving my laptop a lot of problems. Luckily, my retired engineer of a grandpa is going to fix it!!! :D
If I haven't been responding to emails or commenting it's because of the computer problems. I can't exactly write full length emails or comments with just my iPod screen.....it's hard! I'm going to get better at that! If anyone wants to email me, you can do so by checking my new Contact Me page and using the address given there! :D
*Sigh* I have a lot of great ideas for posts, and no time to post them in!!! School is in full swing and February is coming in only four hours! I have a lot of work to do!!!
Upcoming posts will include:
Church post about this past week's church service,
The Volcano Mishaps post I promised but haven't been able to do yet,
A post on Goodness, Truth and Beauty and how it is key to our lives as women, (inspired by my mom)
The 5 R's post series, which will be good posts. The five R's are: Respect, Responsibility, Resourcefulness, Restraint, and Response to the Community.
My favorite things post,
More Star Wars posts, which I will halfway do tonight, after my experience at Orchestra!
and more!!!!
Ok, so tonight at Orchestra, I had more Star Wars fun! :D
My friend/only other violist/my stand partner and I were talking (quietly) and being silly in between songs and practice sessions. We rocked (well, as much as you can rock on the Brandenburg Concerto Number 3) this one really hard part, and instead of Hi-Fiving our hands, we Hi-Fived our Viola bows.
Then we both went into a Lightsaber Stance and began mock lightsaber battling. She and I both made the sound effects and then she said as we were doing a mock standoff, "*Jedi~Chick* (She actually said my first name, but I can't say that here!! :P) So she said, "Jedi~Chick, I am your Stand Partner!!!!" then I threw my head back and said (quietly) "NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" then we both began laughing hysterically. We fought more and then she slashed me with her lightsaber/bow across the stomach. I stuttered and began "dying". I told her that in my will I left her my stand and all my orchestra music, and to use them well. More hysterical (and almost silent) laughter!!!! LOL! I had fun! :D
I also saw the girl who likes SW from the other group and she saw my Padme Nouveau Shirt and asked me where I got it because it was beautiful. I explained Her Universe and told her all about Ashley's clothing line. She was like, "Awesome! I didn't know Ahsoka's voice made clothes!" LOL! I helped recruit another fangirl to the HU cause...... ;)
So that was pretty much my night.....I enjoyed it thoroughly!!!!
OH!!!!! Guess what?!? My uncle who lives up north sent me a package today!! I was all excited! I'm going to do a post on what was inside probably tomorrow!! :D
Check my new pages and the other older pages for updates!!! I think my FanFiction one is the only one I will majorly update. I found another great story....... ;D You know me, addicted to Fanfics!!! LOL!
God Bless, and May the Force be with you!!!!

Will Blog For Comments!
One Comment at a Time!
This is an awesome challenge that I got from Leia, who got it from *Ashley* of Live for Today.
This is her blog here: Live For Today
Once I figure out how....I'll post her button.
This is so awesome. One Comment At A Time is a challenge where for the whole month of February you comment on EVERY post you read! Something as simple as "Great Post, keep it up!" or a long rambly message telling how much you agreed with the post can change someones day.
I LOVE getting comments. It makes me feel like people care and read about what I write. I love getting emails that say: New to Comment on To Thine Own Self Be True. It makes me smile. Seeing what my friends write makes me smile even more!
So here's why Ashley says this is a challenge we should all take:
1. It could improve someone's mood,
AKA: Make them feel good when maybe they aren't feeling at their best
2. It could make someone laugh for the first time today,
(You guys do this for me ALL the time! And I love it!)
3. It could change a persons mind,
4. It could totally change a person's day,
And the most important one,
5. It can show the love of God.
I'm going to do my best to do this for all of next month (which starts like, Tuesday) encouraging and bringing God's love to my friends through the Internet. :D I encourage you all to do the same!!!!
All credit for this post and challenge/idea goes to *Ashley* from Live for Today. Check out her blog and be sure to comment! ;)
(Also, credit for this post goes to Leia, who inspired me to write this....and for giving me the link!)
Now, I'm going to go eat some homemade Han Burgers on Solo Paper products. (Ha, Ha, Ha :D)
And then I'm going to re-watch Overloads, which I will probably scream/cry again over.
God Bless,
Jedi~Chick <3
P.S. I'm going to do another Church post tomorrow, but I took a lot of notes so it might take a while.
P.S.S My computer is still giving us problems with the Wi-Fi, but once it's hooked up to my laptop I will be able to post (and comment) more often. :D

The Clone Wars: Overlords *Spoilers*
Ok, I know I said I wouldn't post on this until everyone saw it....but I can't resist. I think Leia already saw it....so I'm good.
Overlords.
One word: WOW!
I was shocked, scared, nervous, excited, sad, and over all BLOWN AWAY.
I've heard mixed reviews so far. Some liked it, some loved it, and some didn't like it so much.
I LOVED this episode. It was intense, nervewracking, and revealingly scary.
I cried over next weeks commercial.....When Ahsoka said "I don't need you anymore" I flipped out and started sobbing.
Qui-Gon was AH-MAZE-ING!!!! He looked even more awesome animated than I thought!! He looked better on TV then just in the commercials!!!
Shmi was confusing and scary for me. I hated how they tortured poor Anakin's mind.....but she was pretty animated too!! I was crying for Anakin at that moment.....poor Ani. I love him!!! (Sorry, went all fangirly for a moment there....tee hee...)
Older Ahsoka made me scream my lungs out!!!!! I NEVER, EVER imagined them showing that!!!!!!!! My first impression was: What is Shaak Ti doing here?!?
Then: OH MY GOSH!!!!! I AM SO CONFUSED!!!!! WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON?!?!?!?
Then: Wow, she's really pretty!!!!!
I think that how they made Anakin choose between Ahsoka and Obi-Wan was cruel. I was thinking the whole time (while scream/crying)
I know what happens to Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka's in next week's episode so this HAS to have a good ending!!!!!! LOL!
Here are my Pro's and Con's of this episode.....inspired by Amaranthine's Good and Bad points.
Pro's:
Hello? Anakin, Ahsoka, Obi-Wan?!?!!? They are like my FAVORITE TCW characters!!!!! Plus, Anakin's SUPER hot in these episodes. I loved how the seasons changed with the time of day. I don't know why, I just thought that was SO cool. I had a dream like that once. I liked Qui-Gon and older Ahsoka. I screamed a lot. A LOT.
Con's:
Anakin was tortured by his guilt/feelings the WHOLE time!!! I love him, and hated to see him like that!!! :P I didn't like the whole, beginning, middle, end thing, because that is GOD, NOT THE FORCE!!! I didn't like how much they went into the Force and how (As Amaranthine calls her,) Lettuce Head and her evil red eyed brother were always fighting. I hated that. It not only scared me (I am a huge baby anyway) it just was too....witchcrafty I guess. Even worse than the Nightsisters. I looked past all of it though because this is just a story, and I know what I believe.
Extra Con:
I cried. Almost as much as I screamed. Anakin's feelings being played with made me cry, especially his facial and first reaction to seeing Shmi/Evil Thing. Also, the commercial.
OH THE COMMERCIAL! I walked out of my parent's bedroom (I was locked in there with my sister until the show was over so we could watch it without bothering my parent's with out loudness) I walked out of my parent's room sobbing. Badly. I was also really tired, but I was very upset by Anakin and Ahsoka fighting. I would SO hate if:
A. He killed her
B. She killed herself (Oh Gosh NO!)
C. She stays dark forever
D. It ruins their relationship
I LOVE Anakin and Ahsoka's Master/Padawan relationship. I think it's so sweet, and he really loves her, even if he won't/can't admit it. I don't think I would be able to watch TCW if Ahsoka died or something happened with her and Anakin. That would be horrible. I would probably slip into depression!!! LOL!
So that's my review. More posts are coming, and I enjoyed my sleepover/break from school very much! ;)
Jedi~Chick <3
P.S. If you haven't already, check out my pages!! I updated them and will continue to do so. I'll update the FanFiction one a lot.....I read WAAAAAYYY to much Fanfiction!!!! :D
God Bless and May the Force be with you,

I AM SCARED!
Well, I WAS scared. I'm ok now.
I just witnessed a fire.
My cousin (who I am going to call E) and sister and I were driving home from picking up E from school and E saw smoke coming from a nearby park.
We all sorta freaked out and my mom dialed 911. The firefighters came and we got to see them put out a fire. The flames were huge. A bunch of dry bushes caught on fire and then caught a bunch of nearby Palm Trees on fire. We got to talk to a Police man and a Fire Chief, (who my dad knows from his work).
It was scary. I was nervous, and my little sister cried. She only cried because there were dogs barking from the nearby house. She loves dogs.
God Bless the Firefighters, they saved the house, the park, the animals. The fire broke out next to an electrical box, so they also saved the box from exploding and causing more problems.
I'm fine now, but my mom was all shaken up. I also discovered today that there are flesh eating spiders that can cause death. Someone at my dad's work got bitten by one and nearly died. They have a hole in their leg now. *bites lip in total fear*
Reason #4028 why I HATE bugs. Especially Flesh Eating Spiders. And I thought my parents were just trying to scare me!!!! *rolls eyes* I guess not.
God Bless,
Jedi~Chick
P.S. My Cousin E is over now, and I'm not really supposed to be on Blogger while company is over, so I probably won't be on until tomorrow afternoon. Everyone enjoy TCW!!! I can't wait!!!
P.P.S. E just left a comment on the post below. Read it to learn more about her! LOL! She hacked into my account while I was on the phone!!! Bad E!!!!! LOL!

YAYAYAYAYAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today is Friday! Today is Overlords, the new Clone Wars episode! I'm SO PSYCHED!!!!!!! I can't wait for 8:30!!!!! :D
My cousin is sleeping over! We're gonna pick her up from school this afternoon, but until then I'm babysitting my sister. My mom is working out in the yard today because she's taking a break from our school. *Mom needs some down time too!!!* I have a feeling that it will be a Star Wars and My Little Pony day for me.....I think I'll put in TCW or TPM. My mom's outside....she won't hear.....LOL!
I'm going to go shower....then I'll probably be back on Blogger later! :D
Bye for now!!! (or as Tigger would say,) TTFN, Ta Ta for now!!!!!
A very hyper,
Jedi~Chick <3 :D ;)

Oh My Gosh I had such a fun morning!!!!!
And I have to tell y'all about it!!!! :D
This morning was a Star Wars morning for me, at my homeschool P.E. group. I always love going to *I'm just going to call it Saints, that's the name of it and I don't mind sharing it!!* So, I always love Saints, because I have a lot of friends and memories being crazy and having fun there.
Last night my sister decided she wanted to be into Star Wars again. (I'm ALWAYS into Star Wars, but she often changes interests) She decided to be a Jedi when we went to Saints. She wore a brown pair of leggings and a brown skirt with a tan jacket, and I braided her hair to give her a padawan braid. Then I decided to join in on the fun and be her Jedi Master. The ENTIRE day she called me Master, and bowed to me and we both brought our lightsabers to Saints. (We took the blades out *yes I can do that* so we won't hurt anyone or break anything!) Two of the guy coaches (who love Star Wars) saw us and were so excited. We are now going to Lightsaber battle with one of them in two weeks, because next week is a big event thing where like, 800 kids come to the park to play.
My best friend and I talked about Star Wars ALL DAY. Maryanna (from the Lakehouse, she is my best friend I just talked about in the before sentence) and I were Masters, and my sister had to bow and call us that respectfully all day. SO FUN! Then later the coach who we are gonna battle in a few weeks, yelled my name and said, "Look, I'm the Master now!" and he flung a Hula Hoop forward and then pretended to use the Force to call it back to his hand. I got all excited and started squeal/laughing with Maryanna. It was so much fun. Several guys (both younger and older) came up to me and started talking Star Wars with me. It was so fun because I actually knew more than some of them!!!! :D
My little sister's best friends brother and I were talking The Clone Wars. We were discussing the different episodes and I let him look at my Star Wars Insider. He said next time I come over to his house, (like when my sister has a play date) I'll have to see his Star Wars action figures in his room. I was actually seriously interested! :)
Even a few of my girlfriends came up to me and said, "You brought a Lightsaber to Saints? That is SO cool!!!" You can imagine how good that made me feel!!! LOL!
That was my morning, and boy did I enjoy it!!!
Now on to a few updates....
I promised a Volcano post and it will come, but we are currently working on a bunch of computer stuff so it might be a while before the pictures are uploaded!
Our house is Wireless!!!! I can access the internet from my iTouch/Datapad now, but unfortunately my laptop refuses to work. We are still figuring it out, so sadly I can't post from my room YET. When I do I'll do a My Bedroom post. :)
Tomorrow is TCW!!!!!! AAAHHHHHHHEEEEEEEE!!!!!! I just found out that SHMI, ANAKIN'S Mama, is gonna be in TCW episode tomorrow!!!!!! I screamed SO loud. My cousin is going to need earplugs! Actually, I'm being locked in my parent's bedroom while the episode is airing, so I can watch it in private and silence. Everyone else will be safely tucked away from any spazz attacks that might occur in the family room!!! LOL! For the Shmi article, CLICK HERE
I'm so excited for tomorrow!! I'll post more later! :D
Oh, and my favorite Fanfic, I, Mara Jade was updated!!! EEE!!! I'm going to go read it on my Datapad. ;)
Thanks to everyone for following and commenting! I really appreciate it!! :D

It is cold!!!!
WOW, It is FREEZING outside!!! Well, freezing for me. It's about 40 degrees, which is like summer for some of you. :P I'm in the south (far south) and I'm NOT used to the cold. I'm going to P.E. this morning with 150 other Homeschooled kids. I'm excited! I'm going to see my best friends and run around and play sports. I'm excited to see my friends, I don't do sports. I participate, but the only sport I am good at is dance. ;)
Later today is Dance class!! First I help with the little kids for a while, and then I have my tap class tonight. I've been practicing being funky!!! :D LOL!
I'm SO excited for tomorrow!!!! It's TCW night, which, as my dad said in the comments somewhere, means we will be needing earplugs. Or, THEY will be needing earplugs because I am always SCREAMING MY HEAD OFF. Especially when Anakin is on screen, which, in these episodes, is like, THE WHOLE SHOW! :D Also, my cousin is sleeping over, which is going to be fun!!! Unfortunately, she HATES Star Wars, but I made her promise to tune us out while we watch TCW. She said she actually likes the Nightsisters, but she hates all other aspects of Star Wars. I showed her a picture of Karis, from the Nightsister episode and she loved it!!!
See, Karis. She said, "I love her!!! I love her weapon, her planet, her outfit, EVERYTHING about her, oh, except that she's in Star Wars" That last part made me roll my eyes. :)
I'm only doing a /shortish/ post today, because I'm so busy this afternoon. I probably won't get back on until tomorrow or tonight. :D
God Bless and May the Force be with You,

Today is an off day....
Today is weird.
The weather is weird, my inner clock is off because I slept in until 10 AM this morning, and I'm still really tired.
I took a geography test this morning!!! *I'm praying I did well* and I also did math. *Blech. Math.* Math is the one subject that makes me so frustrated I have tears. I get so angry at the numbers/letters. It's confusing and difficult. I have the lesson, I understand it, but when I took the test I got half of the answers wrong. I don't know when or why I'd need to factor polynomials in real life, but I have to learn it anyway.
Today was the last official day of our semester in school, so I'm done for a while. I start again like....tomorrow!! LOL, actually tomorrow is Thursday, which means it's a P.E and Dance day!!! I'm excited, I'll get to see my friends, *promote my blog...* and dance! Read my dance post for more on dancing! ;)
My little sister is currently OBSESSED with My Little Ponies, which are pretty cute, except when the incredibly catchy songs are STUCK IN YOUR HEAD!!!!! *My little pony, my little pony, I'm so glad you're my friend!* Oh Great! She's playing the Karaoke setting on the DVD, which is JUST the songs! I think she's doing it to purposely annoy me.....excuse me as I yell for her to turn the mini DVD player DOWN.....OH THANK GOODNESS!!!!! I found a pair of earphones and plugged them into the DVD Player and her head.....now my sanity is saved. :D
These are about the ONLY My Little Ponies I like....You'll see why. Unfortunately they are some "Custom Made Ponies" so I can't buy them....bummer. I'd SO pay money for them!!!! :D
LOL! I love these ponies. I'd play with my sister if we played Star Wars, the Pony Wars!!! LOL! She's all mad at me that I'd rather be on Blogger than play ponies with her. ;D
So that's today's post. I'm going to go and load some photos next so that I can do more posts. I'm also going to go make a FanFiction Page, where I'll review and add links for all my favorite FanFictions, since that is my current obsession. :D Thanks to my new followers, and commenters!!!!!

The weather is weird, my inner clock is off because I slept in until 10 AM this morning, and I'm still really tired.
I took a geography test this morning!!! *I'm praying I did well* and I also did math. *Blech. Math.* Math is the one subject that makes me so frustrated I have tears. I get so angry at the numbers/letters. It's confusing and difficult. I have the lesson, I understand it, but when I took the test I got half of the answers wrong. I don't know when or why I'd need to factor polynomials in real life, but I have to learn it anyway.

I am Bouncing off the Walls/Dance Class
I AM INCREDIBLY HYPER AT THE MOMENT!!!!!!!!!!!
My mom went to the bookstore and picked up the newest copy of the SW Insider. I just read the ENTIRE magazine and OH MY GOODNESS I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!! I can't talk at the moment because my voice hurts from screaming so loud!!!!!!
Matt Lanter, who voices Anakin did a great interview with AWESOME and incredibly HOT Anakin pictures and super exciting insights to the newest Mortis episodes.
Ashley Eckstien also did an interview and I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!! These are big Ahsoka episodes as well!!!!! The main character of the Mortis episodes is Anakin though, they both made that clear. This is Ani's time to shine!!!! :D
All I can say is that these episodes are going to ROCK!!!!!!!!! ANAKIN looks SOOOOO hot!!!!! I screamed so much reading this magazine I was literally bouncing off the walls!!!!! (I also happened to be stretched out from dance class, so I was flexible enough to leap off of walls!!) :D
So on to the rest of my post.....
Dance. I love to dance. I have taken dance for......12 years. Most of my life actually. I think I started when I was two......you can do the math!!! ;)
This year I am taking Lyrical and Tap classes, but in the past I've done Ballet, Tap, Jazz and Pointe. I stopped Pointe because there were no class times that worked with our schedule and I outgrew my shoes!
Tonight was Lyrical, and I had a good time. My teacher is really fun and the other girls in the class are fun too. We have a small class, I think four girls total. Our recital song is going to be Hey There Delilah by Plain White Tee's. I LOVE that song!!! Tonight my teacher didn't have all the choreography from the other teacher yet (we are joining classes) so we worked on technique the whole time. I am SO sore!!!! We did a ton of stretching and then we did leaps, turns and more stretching!! I'm pretty proud of myself, I got my split about an inch from the ground on both legs. I got my kicks very high, and my leaps high as well. I'm very excited! I am also in a lot of pain! LOL! ;D
I love to tap. I've been tapping since I started dancing 12 years ago. My cousin and I tap together, and we are /pretty/ good. Our recital song for that class is Play that Funky Music [White Boy] and it's going to be so fun!!! There are a bunch of "little" girls in our class, who are at our level, just short. The "bigger" girls are going to start, and then the little peanuts as my teacher calls them, are going to steal our spotlight. Then we will join in together. It's going to be so cute!! My teacher says that my feet are great, but my face is blah. That means I need some acting advice. We are supposed to be big, overdone, disco, and funky. Endor, Savannah, I know you two act, and any advice for being...."Funky" would be much appreciated!!! ;D
I am also a dance teacher!!! Well, a helper actually, but I still really enjoy it. I help in a class of about 11 little pre-school age girls. They are really sweet. I enjoy helping, I feel like I'm really able to practice my own dance and then teach it to the little kids. I also tie shoes. :D It's really fun, and I get to help on the side of the stage and everything!!! It's awesome!
So that is all I have on dance. I know there are some other dancers out there...Amaranthine and Savannah are the only two I know of for sure...but I thought I would put my dance stories out there, because I had class tonight!! :D

Oh, I thought of something else
On my Dashboard on Blogger, it says that my friends/followed blogs have updates, but when I click on them it says the page doesn't exist. It said that Amaranthine made buttons and Leia was about to have a heart attack. Yet when I clicked on them it said the pages didn't exist. Any idea why?!? Maybe it's just my computer. I don't know.
Star Wars!!!! My Star Wars Story/This Universe is HUGE!!!!
This is probably going to turn into a longer post than I thought. I just thought of more to add to it!!!!!
Star Wars! It is my passion, obsession and love in life. Most of you know my Star Wars Story, of how I became such a /super/ fan. It's actually a pretty long story, but for you're guys' sake, I'll make it short.
My sister was OBSESSED with The Clone Wars, and for the longest time I HATED anything Star Wars. (I know, hard to believe right?!?) So anyway, I HATED Star Wars. I hated TCW, and I didn't even really KNOW about the originals. Then I saw A New Hope. For $1.50, I bought the Original Trilogy as a nice gesture toward my sister. The VHS version we bought was pretty good. I watched ANH, then ESB and halfway through ESB I WAS HOOKED!!!!! I was falling in love with Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, I wished I was Princess Leia, I loved R2, and C3PO annoyed the life out of me! Soon after we watched ROTJ, and I was as big of a Star Wars fan as possible!!! I was converted, so to speak. My parents and sister had a hard time getting that I now went from utterly dispising Star Wars to becoming a huge crazy fangirl practically overnight. I wanted to go with my dad and sister when they went to Star Wars Weekends at Disney, which I wasn't originally going to do, and I also made my own lightsaber in Disney World. Since then, I have seen each movie at least three times, been to Celebration V, read at least 50 SW books, and am now a blogger and a forumer on Star Wars sites. Pretty cool, huh? :D
So, on to the rest of my post.
Star Wars is a HUGE Universe. (We all know that!!) No, it's a huge FAN Universe. I didn't realize how many people, of ALL ages, LOVE Star Wars so much. I have met several people and made a few friends because of my love of Star Wars. Especially when I pronounce that love with a T-Shirt or a movie quote. ;) I think I'll give some of the experiences that I've had with Star Wars fans.
The Grocery Store. I've met SEVERAL fans at the grocery store. I often wear my /favorite/ T-Shirt with R2-D2 on it to the grocery store. Once a guy saw it and showed me his Mandalorian Symbol Tattoo, and another time a girl at the checkout counter got all excited and was telling me how much she loved Star Wars. Star Wars makes people happy. When it's something they like so much, they will call you out on it when you share the love. ;)
The Pet Store. Another time, a man saw my R2 shirt, (same day as checkout counter girl,) and he said to me, "R2-D2, that's pretty awesome. May the Force be with you!!" I was BEAMING. I was so excited to see how many people there are in the world who LOVE Star Wars as much as I do!
My Homeschool P.E. group. Two different coaches I know like Star Wars and for that I have become their friends. One of the coaches talked with me and my best friend for a long time about Star Wars, and debating light vs. dark. (I was on the light side, and I won! LOL!) We also discussed books, and one time I wore my hair like Bespin Leia, (Oooh, that's a good idea for a post! Next time I do that I'll have to take pictures!!!) anyway, he saw my Bespin Leia hair and said to me, "Cool! Leia Hair, nice!" I was all excited. Then my other friend called me a geek....but I'm embracing my geekiness more now. I said Thank You!! LOL!
Another time at P.E. my best friend and I (some of you might know her as Maryanna from The Lakehouse Forum) we were playing with this Star Wars Trivia book with a built in electronic answer counter thing. This other coach came over and asked me how well I knew Star Wars. I told him pretty well and he tested me. He flipped to a random page and asked me the question. I got it right. We did about five questions until there was a really weird one that none of us knew the answer to. Then we had to stop because the group was getting ready to pray. It was fun, and I was pretty smart to know the answer.
Also at P.E. there are a lot of little boys who are impressed (and bewildered) when they see me and my friend talk about Star Wars. "You like Star Wars?!?" is a common question I get....mainly because I'm a girl. The head P.E. coach uses a megaphone, and sometimes he'll say "SHHHHHHH" into it, but it comes out like Darth Vader's breathing, so he of course says, "Luke, I am your father." Or sometimes he'll say "Grandfather" instead of father, just to get the littler kids to giggle. Funny thing is, I laugh right along. Then my friend and I were laughing hard because we were cracking up along with these little kids over Star Wars. But I thoroughly enjoyed it!!! LOL!
At Orchestra. I have met A LOT of kids who like Star Wars at my Orchestra. The first thing my now friend/stand partner/only violist said to me was "You like Star Wars?!?" after seeing my HU Padme Nouveau shirt. We are now great friends. I used an R2 and Threepio folder in the beginning of the year, and a boy came up to me and asked me if I really like Star Wars or I just picked out my folder at random or something. I assured him that I didn't like Star Wars, I LOVE STAR WARS!!!! We went on to talk about TCW, our favorite movies and Celebration V. He too is now my friend. I also now have a new folder....Luke and his Dad battling it out on Bespin. It's really cool! LOL!
Also, for the past two weeks, (for some reason I ALWAYS end up wearing a Star Wars shirt,) a girl from a different class saw my shirt and told me how awesome it was. Last night was my purple SW Logo Tee, the week before was my R2 shirt mentioned above. She seemed SO excited by my T-Shirts and asked me where I got them. I'm going to have to talk to her more next week. Maybe give her The Lakehouse's address!!! Or HU....if she wants clothes! :D
So as you can see, Star Wars is truly universal. My Parents are both fans, people from their generation are fans, and I have met some of them. (Pet store, grocery store) People who are more my generation, (P.E. Orchestra) I have met and befriended. Star Wars is a great bonding tool, sort of, and you will find that once you have Star Wars in common with them, you become friends. :D
My next Star Wars post will be on why I love it so much. Now THAT will be a long post!! ;)
God Bless and May the Force be with you!

Church and what I got out of it
Last night was church time for me. I usually attend the Saturday 5 o'clock or Sunday 6 o'clock both at night. Last night was the Sunday one. Our church is doing a series called Soul Train, and it's all about Peace, Love and Soul. Just like those old 70's shows with the crazy clothes, even crazier dancing and all those....funky?....People. Anyway, last night was all about Peace, and finding Peace in your Soul.
Peace:
You need to find your inner peace, because NOTHING in life will ever be absolutely 100% perfect. Things will always break down, relationships, people, jobs, school, things won't always work out perfect. That's because we live in a broken world, or as my church pastor said, a problem planet.
John 16:33 says, "I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart, for I have overcome the world."
Peace is not found in the "externals" in life, such as jobs, school, friends, relationships, money or anything else. The only way to actual peace is through Jesus Christ.
Like if someone gets into a fight or something, they hope that an adult or authority figure will come and solve the problem. Someone will stop the fight. Jesus is that figure, he is the one who will stop the fight. You want proactive peace, as my pastor said, not passive peace. That means get up and DO something. You won't find peace by doing nothing to help yourself. 'God helps those who help themselves' remember?
There are a few ways to find Peace in your life. I took notes at Church and I'll write them here.
The first way, and probably the most important way, to Peace is Peace With God.
Romans 5:1 says, "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ"
Accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour gives you peace with God, and because of that he'll give you peace.
The second thing that will help you find Peace is to make sure you're life is free of sin. Staying with the Soul Train theme at church, Have you jumped the God track? God has a plan for your life, but the road is straight and narrow. It is easy to get sidetracked and to move off road of God's track. Check for sin, and remember that Sin does not make you lose your Salvation, but it does forfeit your Peace.
Another way to help you find Peace is to look back. Look at all the blessings and miracles God has performed in your past. It will give you strength when things aren't going so great. Look for miracles and praise God for the good times. Even when things are tough, God is still there with you, even in a stormy patch of your life.
Another way to help you find Spiritual Peace is to spend Daily Time with God. I personally need to get better at this. I pray all the time, but I need to get better at sitting down and reading my Bible. I have been doing better lately, and I'm glad for that.
Spend 10-20 minutes a day with God, just talking, reading the Bible, and praying. It's good for your Spiritual Soul, so to speak. Your body decays, but your soul is what goes to Heaven. God is a Dad. He wants to spend time with his kids. He likes it when you crawl on his lap and pray to him. :D
Take care of YOU!
Your Body is a temple of God, keep it in good working order!
Get Organized! (I need to do this!)
Whether it's with Finances, school, work, or your bedroom, get organized!
1 Corinthians 14:33 says, "For God is not a God of disorder, but of Peace"
Eliminate unnecessary stress and pressures in your life. God loves order, and peace.
Another way to find Peace is when you have pressures or are struggling, help others. Not only does it make you feel good, but it makes God feel good also. Show God's love by meeting the needs of others, even when their needs are probably greater than yours. Especially then. Sacrifice your own needs to help someone else meet theirs.
Isaiah 58:10-11 says, "And if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry, and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the day. The Lord with guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden like a spring whose waters never fail."
Where God Guides, He Provides. If you do all of those things, you will find that you are not stressed, you are blessed. In the words of my P.E. coach, God is a Father who LOVES to bless his children. He will bless you with a Peace so crazy that it makes no sense.
To get that, you as a Christian need to settle the fight with your old, unsaved self. They want to suck you back into sin, but the Christian, born again you says no. You get a soul change the second you become saved. The Old You is dead and buried, and the brand new you was born to walk in the ways of Jesus Christ.
Stop trying to save the old you, the old you is what is stopping you from getting your Christian Peace.
James 4:1 says, "What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?"
In other words, You are at war with yourself. I've read this sort of thing happen a lot in Fanfiction and SW books. In a lot of books, the main villain is the Main Character's own self doubt.
To end the fight with yourself, commit FULLY to Jesus, say from the top of your head to the tips of your toes, you are 100% God's. Jesus will end the fight, let him win. Stop trying to fight, let Jesus settle the deal, and end the fight.
That was my first "serious" post. Expect more of that. I think that I will do a summary of the Church sermon every week, if anything for my own self to reinforce what I learned. I hope that this post was Okay....remember I am still new at this!! ;)
God Bless, and Please Comment, ;)

Another way to help you find Spiritual Peace is to spend Daily Time with God. I personally need to get better at this. I pray all the time, but I need to get better at sitting down and reading my Bible. I have been doing better lately, and I'm glad for that.
Spend 10-20 minutes a day with God, just talking, reading the Bible, and praying. It's good for your Spiritual Soul, so to speak. Your body decays, but your soul is what goes to Heaven. God is a Dad. He wants to spend time with his kids. He likes it when you crawl on his lap and pray to him. :D
Take care of YOU!
Your Body is a temple of God, keep it in good working order!
Get Organized! (I need to do this!)
Whether it's with Finances, school, work, or your bedroom, get organized!
1 Corinthians 14:33 says, "For God is not a God of disorder, but of Peace"
Eliminate unnecessary stress and pressures in your life. God loves order, and peace.
Another way to find Peace is when you have pressures or are struggling, help others. Not only does it make you feel good, but it makes God feel good also. Show God's love by meeting the needs of others, even when their needs are probably greater than yours. Especially then. Sacrifice your own needs to help someone else meet theirs.
Isaiah 58:10-11 says, "And if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry, and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the day. The Lord with guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden like a spring whose waters never fail."
Where God Guides, He Provides. If you do all of those things, you will find that you are not stressed, you are blessed. In the words of my P.E. coach, God is a Father who LOVES to bless his children. He will bless you with a Peace so crazy that it makes no sense.
To get that, you as a Christian need to settle the fight with your old, unsaved self. They want to suck you back into sin, but the Christian, born again you says no. You get a soul change the second you become saved. The Old You is dead and buried, and the brand new you was born to walk in the ways of Jesus Christ.
Stop trying to save the old you, the old you is what is stopping you from getting your Christian Peace.
James 4:1 says, "What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?"
In other words, You are at war with yourself. I've read this sort of thing happen a lot in Fanfiction and SW books. In a lot of books, the main villain is the Main Character's own self doubt.
To end the fight with yourself, commit FULLY to Jesus, say from the top of your head to the tips of your toes, you are 100% God's. Jesus will end the fight, let him win. Stop trying to fight, let Jesus settle the deal, and end the fight.
That was my first "serious" post. Expect more of that. I think that I will do a summary of the Church sermon every week, if anything for my own self to reinforce what I learned. I hope that this post was Okay....remember I am still new at this!! ;)
God Bless, and Please Comment, ;)

I am Bored.
So I'm going to post! Yay for you!! LOL!
So......
......
......
.....
Hmmmmm.....
AH! I got an idea!!!! This is for my Star Wars Loving friends......a half a post on Star Wars!!!
I have and addiction to FanFiction. I cried this morning over a story I read. I cry a lot. I think I'm overly attached to the SW characters. It moves me.....
Anyway. I also discovered that I am an Original Trilogy person. As much as I love Anakin, (which is a LOT), I like the Original Trilogy more than the Prequels. I have only seen the Prequels a few times, but I have watched the OT a million times over. I think my favorite Star Wars movie is Episode V, The Empire Strikes Back. I don't know why, but I was always drawn to this movie. I'm going to try and watch either it or The Phantom Menace tonight. I like TPM, it's a good movie. I forgot how much I like it....until I rented it from the Library two weeks ago and then bought it from the Library's re-sale shop. I love Padme` in that movie....she's really sweet! :D
I am also a Clone Wars Junkie. I love TCW!!!!!! My sister and I can sit and watch TCW all day long if we were allowed too!! I can't pick a favorite episode because they are all so good!!!! I really like last nights episode....and the last minute and a half made me scream SO LOUD my voice still hurts today. I was literally bouncing off the walls!! *SPOILER!!!!* OMG DARTH MAUL!!!!! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!!!!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!! *END SPOILER!!!!!* Also, the commercials for next week made me flip out as well. My parents say they are going to have to put me in a little sound proof box when I watch the next episodes. THEY ARE ANAKIN EPISODES!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait!!!!! What did they mean when they said to Ahsoka, *MORE SPOILERS!!!* You may never see your future if you remain his student!!!*END SPOILER!!!!!* I freaked. WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO AHSOKA?!?!?!?!?!!? AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Great, now I'm all excited again! And I have to wait ONE WHOLE WEEK?!?!?!? Well, it could be worse. I'm just glad there isn't a break! :D
That pretty much ends my Star Wars half of this post. The other half is going to be on what I'm doing right now, plus a few pictures. ;) Enjoy!!!! Oh, and Star Wars Fanatic friends, What is your favorite SW Movie and TCW Episode? Can you choose?!?! o.o
What I am doing right now......
Uhhh, blogging! Well, because that's stating the obvious, I'll post on what I was doing about ten minutes ago, BEFORE I started blogging.
My cousin was over!!! *YAY* To protect the innocent, I'm going to call her Ember, and Ember came over to my house for a while. My sister, (Nutmeg) and Ember and I went outside for a while, but it was oddly cold and windy, so we went back in. We played with our DSiXL's, which are REALLY fun. After doing that Nutmeg made popcorn and we watched TV for a while.
Wow, we were being extremely boring. That's pretty much it. My feet are cold because I misplaced my slippers and it's really windy outside. My dad has the sliding glass door open so he can hear my sister and I doing....nothing. I think I'm going to go and pop in ESB or if my sister won't watch that, TPM or TCW. This turned into a really long post for something that I was doing out of boredom!!!! LOL! Have a great weekend everyone, and thanks so much to my friends/followers!!!!! I love living the blogging life so far!!!! LOL!
God Bless,
Jedi~Chick <3
P.S. I just thought of something else!!! My parent's agreed to let my grandfather set up our house with Wi-Fi. (Grandpa's a retired engineer, he knows electrical/technological stuff) That means I will be able to post from my laptop in my bedroom!! I'm WAAAYYYY excited for that!!! :D
I almost forgot pictures!!!
Here ya go!
I saw this and thought it was so funny!!! I love this picture! xD
I took this picture from a park in our town. It was growing wild there and I couldn't resist taking a picture of such a pretty flower!! I thought it turned out pretty good!
Isn't that pretty?!?! The view from the dock of my grandparent's vacation home. It was sunset time and I got the silhouette of the tree just right! I love this picture!! ;D
That's all for now folks! :D
So......

This is my first official blog post.....
And I'm nervous. I don't know what to write!!! I mean, I have tons of ideas, but I'm still unsure of what to do first! I think as an introduction post I'll do a "Ten Things About Me" list that I found in a magazine. So, here goes.
Ten Things You May or May Not Know About Me!
Ten Things You May or May Not Know About Me!
- I am a Christian - God always comes first in my life.
- I am Homeschooled - And I love it.
- I am Obsessed with Star Wars - For those of you who know me, you know this one very well!!!
- I am a Musician - I play both the Violin and the Viola. I have played violin for eight years, viola for eight months!
- I love to read - I read often and obsessively. I have read as much as six books at a time. I have a long list of books to read, and eventually I'll post them!
- I love to write - Writing is something new that I discovered I enjoy after participating/winning NaNoWriMo 2010. I now love to write, (even thought i always have) and I especially love to write about Star Wars
- I love listening to music - I love anything Star Wars, Taylor Swift, BarlowGirl, Country Music, Owl City, and a lot more.
- I am obsessed with reading FanFiction - I keep on reading Star Wars fanfics. I posted the link for the Star Wars Archive page under "My Favorite Sites"
- I am a collector - some of my favorite treasures include books, notebooks, dolls *don't you judge me*, tiny trinkets that look old fashioned, Star Wars ANYTHING (and everything), Japanese Erasers, Silly Bands *again, don't you judge me*
- *last but not least* I love my family - I live with my parents and little sister, *who you will be hearing a lot about eventually* and I am very close to my cousin, two grandparents and great grandpa. I thank God each day for a family as wonderful as them!
So that's my list. I stated pretty basic stuff, most of my friends will already know this!!! :D
Anyway, that's my first post. More to come. Here's a quick list of ideas that will eventually become blog posts.
- Star Wars posts
- Book Reviews
- The Clone Wars Reviews
- Day in the Life of a Homeschooler (and crazy things that happen while learning at home!)
- Christianity and Life posts
- Freedom and politics posts (this might backfire on me!)
- Latest writing, and school projects
- Anything that comes to mind!!
- Oh, and a post about volcanoes, because I just studied them in school and have a funny story to tell about a baking soda volcano!
#11 would be I like lists!!! LOL!
I'll post more later.....
