Inspiration!

I just love being inspired.  Having this awesome, rushing feeling inside you, making you excited and finding the good in everything because you're so happy and thrilled.
I love it.  I've been inspired the past few days by my amazing best-sister Tara, who provided me with amazing ideas and plot points for a story we are now co-writing....aren't we Tar?  ;)
I love having this feeling...where I feel like I could go for days with this energy, writing and getting all the scenes out on paper.  I plan to do just that.

I also hope to focus in on the school work I need to finish (I'm almost there!!!! One paper and I'm done with 9th grade!!!) so that this weekend we can all go on a very relaxing vacation.  *sigh*  I can't wait to go on vacation again!!! :D

So today's post I bring to you is on inspiration.  The best inspiration comes from God, putting the right ideas in your head, or in my case, the right people around to help.  ;)  I'm so very blessed by all the amazing friends who help me through writers' block.  ;)

I thank Jesus for the incredible inspiration I've received the past few days, and I am planning on putting it to good use!!!!  Stories shall be written, shared and fangirled over, and hopefully, I'll learn in the process.  Thank God for inspiration!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Now I'm off to write....but I had to put this out here to share how excited I am!!!! :)

In other news, Celebration VI is only 30 days away and I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!! :D

Crunch Time

Oooh......*cringes* It's been a while, huh?  Hehe...I sincerely apologize for neglecting my blog....I have posts in my head that I just need to get out onto paper...or rather, a document or draft! :P  Oh well, better late than never, right?

Let's catch up shall we?  Since my last post, I've....
Gone to the Keys on vacation (I'm heading back in a few weeks!! WOO!!)
Almost finished 9th Grade (shush mom)
Completed a few fanfics (OC stories mostly...)
Started more fanfics (I can never be finished with anything, can I?)
Watched movies (lots of movies...will get another post)
Watched Avatar: The Last Airbender (I'll have to do a separate post for that...)
Prepared for CVI (39 DAYS!!!! :D)
Went to a country music concert
and more.

Crunch Time is the title of my post.....wanna know why?  Because I feel the need to brag a bit about my gym. XD I have been going to a fantastical gym entitled "9Round" for several months, and I really love it.  It's kinda like a family....everyone knows each other and has a great time.  The owners of our location (Michelle and Larry) are super awesome people, and we always have a great time whenever we go to workout!! :D
At 9Round, I've lost some weight, gained a lot of muscle, and strengthened my core (I'm getting abs! O.o).

We kick box!!  It's fun beyond belief...and almost every workout we use Star Wars references (my mom and I....we're workout buddies...my sister too!).  One trainer is quite evil, and we call her Saba Sebatyne because she's so tough. XD  We do Jedi training all the time at 9Round....I call my mom Leia, and she calls me either Fallon or Mara, depending on who I want to be that day. XD ;)

I learn technique, kicks, punches, self defense, and much more!!! I feel strong and confident, and it's awesome.  :D  So YAY for 9Round!!!! :D

sometimes it's a "three ring" workout kinda day XD

Okay!! I think I'll unpack my list of things because there's a bit more I'd like to talk about!!! :D

Crunch Time can be a universal title for this post....because the next thing I'll talk about is that it is only 39 DAYS UNTIL CELEBRATION VI!!!!! :O

I've been anticipating CVI for literally 2 years.  Now it's getting to be crunch time.....only a little over a month until it's here!!!!! :D I have outfits to make, things to buy, things budget for, scheduling to do once they release official stuff....friends to meet/see, parties to attend...........;D  I am SO EXCITED!!!!!! *squee*

What else......ah yes.  I went on vacation!!!! :D
I am sooo incredibly blessed to have such an awesome place to go for vacation.  We stayed for five days, and had a total blast.  :D  We went NUTS with pictures, so those of you with instagram, find me (@marileesunstar) or my cousin Embie (@embersparkstone101) or even my lil' sister, (@noelofasgard) ;)  We posted SO MANY pictures of sunsets, water and each other it's not even funny. XD
We celebrated Independence Day and Steve Rogers' birthday with tons of fun, fireworks, songs (oh ho ho ho....we bring down the house every year with our patriotic sing a long) and Embie and sparklers!!!  Embie and I partied all night long by pulling our first true all-nighter. ;)  It was quite thrilling, if not stupid.

Here are a few pictures from our trip...;D

This is possibly my favorite picture from the trip.....Glory looks absolutely adorable and sweet. ;D <3 *MWAH*

FEEEET. XD Embie learned how to walk in flip flops during this trip. Her feet are so tan compared to mine. XD  ;)

I hope you all enjoy these pictures....Blogger's being a pain to upload them. XD  Those were our glowsticks....we had a bit too much fun with those. ;)

THAT is my favorite picture actually.....LOOK HOW COOL!!! ;D

Okay, so ends my vacation pictures. ;)  I have a BILLION more. XD And more to come since we're going back!!! *dances*

I'll talk about the concert we went to before signing off this post.....because I have more to write!!! ;D  Heehe!!!

My mom, dad, sister and I went to see the country music band "Gloriana" the other night!!! :D It was REALLY fun!!!!!!  Besides the cigarette smoke and drunk people, we had a fantastic time!!! The band sounded great, we had fun singing and dancing, and we got some good pictures!!

SEE? :D SO AWESOME!!!!

My dad had his brush with fame when Rachel (the girl singer) shook his hand after we literally ran into them after the show.  ;)  He had the cutest fanboy grin on his face the rest of the night. ;)

So that's it for now.....I'm going to write a post about movies I've watched (movie review posts FTW) and then an Avatar: The Last Airbender mega-post. ;)
