So...um....well....

It's been a while, hasn't it?  Well, school and other things have come in the way of 2Thine again....sadly.  I have a bit of time to catch all of you, my lovely friends, up with what's been going on with me.
1.  School has been crazy.  We're kinda cramming in a way, because May is coming and we have a LOT going on in May. :P
2.  I JUST auditioned in my orchestra.  I feel pretty confident, but also kinda nervous as to if I'll get chosen to move up or not.  I'm hoping that the odds will be in my favor.  (this leads me into the next point...)
3.  I am officially a fan of The Hunger Games.  I'll discuss this more after my list.  I like lists.
4.  Pinterest occupies a lot of my time.  My username on there is @FallonSkywalker (same as Twitter) if you care to follow me.  I am enjoying it immensely.
5.  The Avengers is in TEN DAYS PEOPLE.  TEN.

Okay, now I shall write my thoughts on The Hunger Games, from MY WORLDVIEW.  So haters and other people who do not like my worldview, chill.  My thoughts, my words, my opinion.  Just getting that out there. XD

First off, to quiet those who might call me a "follower" or a "sheep" or whatever, due to the popularity of the book series, which partly is due to the fact that the movie had just recently come out (I really want to see it now XD), I have been meaning to read these books for some time.  My lovely cousin Embie read them about two years ago, and recommended them to me back then, with the warning that they were somewhat disturbing and very violent.  At that time, my exposure to sci-fi and more horror-ish things in general was very non-existent, and I had no desire to read something scary.  And thinking about it, I probably wouldn't be able to tolerate it.  But after Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and several super-hero movies, I am quite immune to violence and such things, and also very good at getting attached to characters whose fates are doomed. XD
Thus, with the popularity of these books that I hadn't even thought about for two years, I was very intrigued to know WHY the rest of the world liked them so much.  I wanted to know what the deal was about "Team Peeta" and "Team Gale" and why "I VOLUNTEER" is such a popular meme.
I have had multiple people recommend the books to me, friends from the internet, "real life", and random acquaintances.  Finally I took the plunge about a week ago, breaking open The Hunger Games on Wednesday night of last week.

Two words.  Four Thirty.
That is how late I stayed up reading that gosh-darn book.  I read the first page with curiosity and speculation, and after that, I could NOT put it down.  There were ZERO stopping points in the whole thing. I read and read until I couldn't keep my eyes open.  I was 3/4 of the way finished with the book when 4:30am rolled around.  I had to wake up at 7am, do Presidential fitness at P.E. the next day, and then teach dance and do dance for 5 hours that afternoon.  To say the least, I got home and literally crashed and burned. XD

I was able to pick it up again on Saturday and I finished the book in one sitting.  I sobbed through the entire ending, because I was devastated that it wasn't even a spark of happiness.  I was miserable all night (and then had to deal with drama on The Lakehouse) so my emotions were in torment all night long. XD  It didn't help that on the same night I chose to watch trailers for the movie (I sobbed like an idiot) and then reblog every THG item in sight on Tumblr.  And look at merchandise, and listen to the soundtrack for the movie (BEYOND BEAUTIFUL.  EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT A FAN, GO LISTEN NOW).

To end that pathetic story, here are my overall thoughts of the book.

Overall Rating:  9.5/10 stars.  I take off a half-point for it being too gory in one scene for me to read (I skimmed part of the Tracker Jacker scene XD)

Rating from a Christian perspective:  7ish/10 stars.  Depending on how Christian you are judging this by, the book was gory, violent, and scary, and the worldviews in the book were not exactly ideal for all.  I personally was not too bothered by it, because it is in fact, a story.

Summary of the book (without spoiling anything):  The continent once known as North America is now simply Panem, broken up into 12 (once 13) districts.  Each district does a job, mining, agriculture, factories, technology, etc.  The immensely oppressive and controlling government, known as The Capitol, proves their power over their citizens once a year with an event entitled "The Hunger Games".  The Hunger Games involves two children between the ages of 12 and 18 from each district (one boy and one girl), to be entered into an arena where they all fight to the death.  The last person alive is crowned victor and is famous among all of Panem.  Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark are entered in the games, and into a new world they never thought they'd get to know, The Capitol.  Peeta, who has had a crush on Katniss since childhood, is suddenly forced to kill her.....or is he?  Peeta, (being the incredibly sweet and perfect person that he is), makes his plight of the Games to be to save Katniss, and help her win.  The two team up when the game suddenly changes, and through unlikely circumstances, they are forced to be in love.  But it's all just an act.....right?  Find out what happens.  ;)

Goriness level:  10 XD  It was pretty bad....kids killing kids.....lots of injuries.....fire......death (a lot of it), warfare, blood, bugs, hallucination, etc, etc, etc.

Scare Factor:  8 or 9.  I made the mistake of reading these at bedtime/nighttime and ended up having a near-heart attack in my sleep and falling out of bed at 5am. XD

Sadness level:  For me?  1000.  For others?  It depends.  Some can read it without being sad, or you have me who sat in a puddle of her own tears sniveling for hours because of the ending to this book. xD

From a literature standpoint:  This book was fantastically written.  It was written in First Person POV, which was different but also really kinda cool, and very descriptive.  It's vivid and fast, and impossible to put down.  The dystophian world that Suzanne Collins created is just incredible.  I understand so many internet jokes now.  xD

Movie?  Yes, I really want to see it.  I've heard very good things about it.  The only thing that tips me off of the movie is that some people read the books AFTER seeing the movie.  I want to read the books and be depressed over the characters so i can go to the movies and sob watching my emotions play out on the big screen.  If you know what I mean.  XD

My recommendation?  If you haven't tried it, or are being defiant like I was, just cave and read it.  It's so good guys.....I loved it.  Very well written and such a great storyline too.  Enjoy, and May the Odds Ever be in your Favor. ;)

Well, to round up this post, I am almost done with the second book in The Hunger Games trilogy, Catching Fire, with only three chapters to go.  I am literally dying to find out what happens.  This book might be as good as (if not better than) the first.  :)

May the Force be with you, May the Odds ever be in your Favor, and God Bless my friends.  :)  I'll be back with more quality posts soon!

Rest and Relaxation....

*sighs, fans face with palm frond*

Guess where I am?  ;D

I'm on vacation.  My family takes a trip to the family vacay-house every year (sometimes more than once a year,) and we decided to spend the week here for Spring Break. :)

Consider this an inspirational post perhaps.......

I realized today that I am a very stressed person.  I usually am constantly busy, whether it be for school, stuff on the internet, more school, or helping out people with their problems, I am often really busy.  On top of that I have chores and duties to attend to as a daughter and sister, and that's important too.

Yesterday I went to the eye doctor and was totally blind from being dilated.  I realized how much I take my vision for granted.  I ended up finding out that I DO need glasses, but I'm not too worried about that.  Once I was dilated, I literally could not see ANYTHING.  I couldn't read my text messages, I couldn't read my tweets, my computer screen, NOTHING.  I had to rely on my cousin Embie to read everything to me, because I was literally blind.  (she did hack my phone and ipod, but still....xD)

Later last night my eyes were already much better, and today they were cured.  I feel SO accomplished and relaxed and happy!!  I read an entire book, (FREAKED OUT OVER THE BOOK) and wrote a bunch.  I cleaned our room (Embie's and mine's) and we played tons of games outside.  We went out for dinner, and then came home and slept.  I read more of my book, took a nice nap, and was totally carefree.  Soon it was sunset-time and we went outside to witness God's beautiful world by the ocean.

Ember, Glory and I went outside and had a badmitton tournament, Glo was our announcer, Embie and I the players, and Canada Dry Ginger Ale our "sponsor".  It was hilarious, and we even brought our radio outside so we could listen to music while playing the game.  We had instant replays, halftime dance shows, and commercial breaks.  It was awesome.  We finished our game with an epic Michael Buble dance show from me and Embie, where we tangoed to our hearts contents. XD

Now.....I'm looking forward to more fun.  Take away this my friends, no matter how stressed you are, and how busy you are, every once in a while, take a step back and praise God for the goodness and beautiful things in your life.  I've been doing that all day, thanking Him for my family, my eyesight, my book, my iPod, the weather, the sun, everything!!

It's fun to relax, and to step back and realize all the goodness in your life.  ;)

II'll be relaxing for the next two days guys....see ya on the flip side. ;)
And Happy Birthday (tomorrow) to my best friend Savanna from Pandas, Lightsabers, and Cameras oh my!! ;)  Love you girly!! <3

Love you guys!

I'm...Alive....*waves little white flag*

I'm not dead!!!!! :D  Hooray!!!  Yay for aliveness!!!

I have to apoligize....things have been crazy...I've been busy with school, Fangirls on Felucia, and more...that I have been neglecting good old To Thine Own Self Be True...;)  Even on her birthday!  :'(

So....

Happy Blogoversary to me!!!!!  It was technically on Friday....but I'm lazy.  XD

Well, onto a real post....
I have quite a few 'real posts' in the works....a bunch of movie reviews....an Avengers fangirl freak out review....and more.  But here I'll just do a little bit of all of that.

First, since I'm fresh out of ideas tonight, I'll just fill you in on my life (since it's all about me....no, I'm just kidding, it's all about Him. <3)  I just decided that I'll add pictures too.  ;) *all pictures are taken by me unless marked otherwise.*

So far....my life has consisted of school.  School is eating me alive it seems. I made a pact with mostly myself but also my parents to get my school work done, on time and to the best of my ability this week, or I suffer the consequences.  Every hour/day/etc. I don't do something is another hour/day/ect. I have without internet.  O.O
Scary, I know. So I better wise up and get my stuff done.....

After school comes Viola.  I am really honestly enjoying my viola.  I love to play, it makes me feel beautiful and confident when I can belt out a note or song really well. :) My teacher has been incredibly supportive and helpful...I learn something important and new every lesson.  It's an amazing feeling.
I've had a concert, and it went well.  I was one of 16 out of 51 people who was actually on time for the call-time.  ;)

This is my favorite picture ever. :D

School and Viola are pretty much all that I've got going for me....other than dance. ;D

I dance once a week, but when I do, I'm at the studio for 5 whole hours.  First I teach classes, and I absolutely love it.  My baby girls are absolutely adorable, and they really like me.  :)  It makes me feel needed and special. Haha!  I co-teach a class with the owner of the studio, and she pays me in free classes.  ;D  WOO!  

My one class that I take for myself is totally horrible and totally amazing for different reasons.  It's amazing because I LOVE my teacher...she's incredible.  She's the dance team teacher, and she works us HARD.  And she's the sweetest, coolest person ever!  :D  

The bad part is the other girls in the class.  Without trying to sound rude or uppity....I'm definitely the oldest one there, and along with my one friend, I'm the most mature.  :P  It's pretty bad....these are 12, 13 year olds who are having break ups, catfights, and gossiping like no tomorrow.  It's disgusting.  They wear NOTHING.  XD Literally.  I always wear pants or at least capri-work-out pants, and a t-shirt to dance, while these girls wear the tightest fitting tank tops imaginable with shorts that look more like underwear than anything.  My head is always aching by the time I leave my class....either that or my ears start to bleed from all the nonsense they speak of...and oh-so-loudly....*rolls eyes*  

I wish so desperately I was taking tap class (i'm taking jazz...the tap is way to late...) Tap is by far my favorite type of dance. ;D

This is my second favorite picture ever!!! :D

What else occupies my time besides Dance, Viola and School?  Well....the internet, of course! :D 

Twitter is a great way to reach me by the way.  :)  I'm constantly on there.  @FallonSkywalker if you need me. ;)

Fangirls on Felucia has occupied a lot of my time.  Without Savanna riding my back to get the posts finished, I probably would turn FOF into this place! *cricket, cricket*

Seriously though, Fangirls on Felucia is running AWESOME.  It's been getting a lot of traffic and feedback, and I am loving every second of it.  Savanna, if and when you read this, I love you, and I'm having a blast working with you!!!!!!  We'll go far!  ;D 

prototype of our banner, made by me xD

Also The Lakehouse Forums....my friends, I know you read this.....I stress many moons over TLF. XD Don't know why really....other than needing to prevent problems and solve problems for people....;) 

And Tumblr!  Ahhhh Tumblr. I love Tumblr actually.  My amazing Tumblr is called JediWithAPurpose and you are more than welcome to visit it.  ;)   http://jediwithapurpose.tumblr.com/ 

I suppose this ends another (slightly pitiful) post on my little blog.....I will be back very soon with more and much better things!  :D

You all probably think I'm dead.....

Unless you're from the Lakehouse, then you know I'm completely alive.

XD

Now, on to an actual post.  *gasp*  Yes, it's true.  I, Jedi~Chick, shall do an actual real live post.  X)

You see, I've been gone lately because of Summer.  You'd think I'd be home more because of summer, but no.  I had my dance recital!!!!!  It seriously was a great experience!!!  I now know that I actually love the stage.  Literally and figuratively.  XD
You want pictures?  OKAY!
First though, I'll give you a run-down of everything that happened on both the rehearsal and the recital.  IT WAS SOOO BUSY!!!!!!!  I didn't sit for the entire four hour show.  xDD

First, we did a 'daddy daughter dance' where my dad (and a TON of other dads) danced to the song 'Ice, Ice, Baby' and the girls came out in the end of the song to dance with our daddies.  :)
My sister and I played on the stage for like, ten minutes before they closed the curtain (which they had closed for about twenty minutes to a half an hour before the show actually started).  XD
Here are some pictures I took while playing on-stage.

As you can see, the theater doesn't have anyone in it yet, which is why the dance teachers let the girls play around on stage.  That second picture is of my sister.  ;)

Before hand, I did my hair and makeup, my sister's hair and makeup, and my cousin's too.
Here's what Nutmeg's hair looked like when I was done.  I'm pretty proud of it.  XD

That child has SUPER long hair.  All her friends tell her she has 'Rapunzel hair' because it's so stinkin' long!!!! I managed to get it into a very pretty bun though.  ;)  And her face was really pretty too, except my mom won't let me post her face.  XD

There's me, my sister and friend onstage playing around before the show.  ;)  It was fun!  And that's our tap costume.  It's not as short as it looks, because it's got built in shorts underneath.  It's actually really cute!  LOL!

Well, FINALLY they closed the curtain and announced backstage to get ready for the show.  I got to take care of a little three year old, because her mom wanted to watch the show, and her step-dad was in the dancing dads (but in a different wing) so I took care of her.  I didn't know her, or her family, but she took to me so quickly, and I held her for about twenty minutes, and then lifted her up to see the curtains open.  I danced with her (backstage) and let her play with the sequins on my costume.  ;)  Then I watched another little girl (this one was five) and played with my sister and my dad's work friend's' daughter too.  I was the oldest dancing dad girl.  XDD  So naturally I took care of all the little girls.  ;)

Directly after dancing dads, I had to stay backstage to help with my little girls class.  Their jazz dance was to Billy Ray Cyrus's Achy Breaky Heart.  It was ADORABLE and they did AMAZING!!!!!!!  I was so proud of them!!!!!  :D  There were five different classes combined into one big dance number.  XP  It was nuts backstage.  XDDD

After that, I was free for the rest of the first act.  I waited in our dressing rooms with my cousin, friends and just about all the other intermediate/advanced girls.  XD  I was in 'Locker Room One' as it is called.  Here is a few pictures I took in utter boredom while waiting in our dressing room.  :P

All my lovely stuff.  My Star Wars bag, my camera case, my makeup bag....

A closeup of my tap costume that I took on my friend.  ;)  We really like this costume all things considering.  ;)

Again, another shot of all our stuff.  My bags up top, my dance bag below and my friend's back pack underneath too.  

As Threepio would say, "Oh the horror!!!"  It's my Lyrical costume!!!!!!!!  XD

Well, all that boredom lasted about ten minutes because I am apparently a very helpful and responsible teenager, and was asked by many of my friends and fellow dancers to help them either get changed, do their hair, fix their makeup or find their missing items.  :P  So I didn't sit for a long time.  Soon enough, it was intermission.

My tap number was the second dance of the second act.  So we lined up at intermission and then quickly went onstage with my tap teacher to practice our tap slides.  ;)  BUT.....*creepy music here*  CRISIS STRUCK!  In our class of nine.  XD

One girl lost her shoes.  I went with her to find someone to loan her a pair.
Another girl (a good friend of mine) pinched a nerve or something in her neck and went into panic mode.  :(  I helped her with deep breathing and found a teacher to help her stretch and calm down.  She was crying.  ;(  I also 'preached' to her and told her to just calm down and that everything would be fine, and that I was praying for her.

BUT THE SHOW GOES ON!!!!!!!  We did our tap number beautifully, and nailed the slides.  Ms. Diane was very proud.  ;)

After tap, I rushed backstage, threw on my lyrical costume, quickly touched up my makeup (and by quickly I mean wipe off the smudged lipstick and re-apply it) and then ran back into the hallway to help my little girls with their ballet number.  :D

OH MY WORD they are the most adorable children on the face of the earth.  I love them to death.  :D
These little girls all came to me for hugs right after my tap (before I was even changed) and said, "Miss (insert real name here I will use Fallon) Miss Fallon!  Miss Fallon!!!  We saw you dancing!  you did so good!  Your dress is so sparkly!!!"  I got hugs from eleven 3-5 year olds and kisses too.  ;)  Then one of the backstage moms came to me and said, "Those little girls sat in front of the TV (there's a TV downstairs in the kiddie room where the little ones can watch the show as it happens) and they watched your entire dance, so excited that their 'Miss Fallon' was dancing on stage."  I was so touched.  It's amazing how much I impact these little girls' lives.  The moms all love me.  XD  They requested that I come back next year to help in their daughters' class.

Soon it was time for the little ones to dance.  I carried/walked them backstage (across/behind the stage to get to stage left) and stood to dance with them in the wings.  They did the ballet PERFECT.  I still am so incredibly proud of them!!!!  Even the twins did FABULOUS!  :D  (the twins are both autistic.  their mom is super sweet.  ;))

After that I rushed back to my dressing room to grab my lyrical shoes and then rejoin my class in the hallway to do our lyrical.  I helped two of my friends with their headbands for that, and then we had to go to stage left (behind the stage again!) for my lyrical.  I had to help across my friend, who has Cerebral Palsy, get across too.  Then we did our lyrical, which went off without a hitch!  I was very pleased with it.  And 'Hey There Delilah' is a hard song to dance to.  xD

After lyrical, we literally ran to the front lobby for the Finale, where we waited for another twenty minutes, until we could get inside and run down the aisles for the finale song.  ;)
But, the usher ladies were MEAN.  They yelled at us to get back and that we weren't allowed to sit on the steps to wait.  She was MEAN!!!!!  :P

Anyway, finale went very well and I was CENTER STAGE!!!!!!!  Ahh!!!!!!  :DDD  LOL!  xDD  I loved it honestly.

SO!  That's our show!  It was really fun and I had a great time!  :D  I'm pretty much finished with this post now.  I really hope to get back into posting almost every day.  I'll be on vacation soon, so just to let you know I may or may not be able to post.  Visiting family and all that.  ;)

Love you all!!!!  I've got 46 followers now!!!!!!!  YEAH!!!!!!  *hugs all 46*  Thanks so much everyone!!!!!!!!!  :D  I'm so excited!
Love,

P.S. CLICK HERE PLEASE!!!!!!!

I'm a bad blogger....

because I KEEP GETTING BEHIND!!!!!!!!

So sorry to all my friends who I haven't commented on their posts.  And to Nana who I said I would do her blog parade.  :(  I feel bad.  And the sad thing is, within two days I'll STILL be a bad blogger because I'm going away on vacation.  So most likely I will be once again behind. 

*sigh*
I will bring my laptop....and hopefully the place we're staying at has Free Wi-Fi.  Speaking of Wi-Fi I earned mine back.  I finished school officially today!!!!!!  :D  My paper after undergoing three rewrites is the best I've written it.  ;)  I'm going to post it on KOTF and it's MUCH better than the first one.  I'm proud.  ;)

Anywho.  I'll do a bunch of little posts on the Beautiful People thing, tags I've been tagged for and the Star Wars Week thing with Nana.  ;)

Until later.....
Jedi~Chick <333
(who doesn't feel like adding her signature)

Catching Up

Hey y'all!!!!!!!  My goodness, you all have posted SO MUCH!!!!!!  I just spent the last hour and a half reading, commenting, and catching up on Blogger!  :P  Anyway, I've now got like....*counts on fingers* three tags/meme things to do.  xD  I'm a bit behind....so I'll just go ahead and do yesterday's and today's.  ;)

Here goes!
Star Wars Meme:

Day 1: Favorite Character

My /current/ favorite Star Wars character is MARA JADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love her!!!!!  She's so awesome!!!!!!

First of all, she's a GIRL.  xD  :no really?:  Second of all, she's a Jedi!!!  And she was a smuggler, assassin, bounty hunter, and Emperor's Hand.  She's a Jack of all Trades!  :D

Plus, she gets Luke.  :DDDD

So Mara Jade is my absolute favorite Star Wars character. 

Day 2:  Favorite Villain

My favorite Star Wars villain is Darth Vader!!!!!!!  :D  he's so......EVIL!  xD  No, he's just awesome.  He's good, then he's bad, and then he's good again.  Since Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader are technically the same person, I like him even more.  ;)  He sounds funny too.


Okay, now Qui from Dancing Through Life is doing this Fangirl Week and a Half thing.  ;)  I'm gonna join in the fun.  :)

Day 0: (which was technically yesterday) What are you fangirling over this month?

STAR WARS!!!!!!!!!  I saw the movies exactly a year ago this week, and I've never stopped fangirling since.  ;)
Johnny Tremain
Disney World
Fanfiction
Mara Jade
Luke Skywalker
Mara and Luke  (xD)
Lemonade Mouth
Tangled
Shelling (it counts!)
Sanibel Island (also counts!!)

That's it.  ;)

Day 1: (today) Why are these things fangirl worthy?

Umm.....Star Wars is AWESOME!

Johnny Tremain is educational and awesome as well.  It's a fun story and the movie is amazing!

Disney World is where I'll be in a few weeks, and I honestly can't wait.  I love Disney and I always have/will.  So ha.

Fanfiction......uh....I'm ALWAYS obsessed with fanfiction.  It's good for the soul.  It makes me happy.  It makes me sad.  I'm a beta reader.  I enjoy it.  I write it.  I LOVE IT!

Mara Jade.....see the Meme day one thing.  xDD  I LOVE MARA!!!!!!!  I am Mara.  xD  I was her in the pool......:P  Oh forget it.  xD

Luke Skywalker, oh Luke.....he's adorable.  He's perfect for Mara.  He's so cute!  He's on my Croc....he has the prettiest eyes!  Then there's this picture that makes me crack up every time I look at it:

Thank you Endor!  ;)

What's next on the list???

Oh, Mara and Luke.  ;)
I LOVE THIS PAIRING!  Best. Couple. EVAH!!!!!!  I think I like them even better than Han and Leia, if that's possible......:)
 I mainly like them because of Fanfiction.  I think I've read almost every Luke and Mara story.  :)  One I just read was SO adorable!!!!  I write it too.  ;)

AH!!!!  Lemonade Mouth.  ;)  Read this:  Lemonade Mouth
I love this movie!!!!  I'm listening to the soundtrack now!  :)  Favorite character:  Stella.  ;)  Closely followed by Charlie.  xD

Tangled!  I love that movie!!!!  Also an amazing soundtrack!  :D  This movie is incredibly deep for an animated kids movie.  I <3 Flynn Rider.  ;)  He's so......*sigh*

Shelling is FUN!!!!!  I collected so many shells it's not even funny.  :P  I loved getting to do it over the weekend!!!!!!  :D  It's very fangirl worthy!  It's addicting too.  xD

Sanibel Island is my future home.  I'm going to move there some day.  :)  I'll have a little house (actually a big house) by the water, and it'll be hurricane proof, and colorful and me and my family will live happily ever after in it.  I'll have a little room that overlooks the water, and that will be where all my writing and editing work will be.  I'm going to be an editor someday.  ;)


Okie Dokie!!!!  :D  I'm done!  With that.  xDD

Now Endor tagged me to do this Wedding thing because of the Royal Wedding.  ;)  Qui started it!  xDD

The Groom:
Well, I can't pick that!  xD  If I could though, I'd want a man like my daddy.  ;)  Sweet, loving, and  likes to cook and clean.  :P  He needs to be a Star Wars Geek.  :)  And he must only have eyes for me.  Needs to be respectful, good with kids, funny and a Christian.  He needs to have good values and he's got to care about me and my opinions.  ;)  I don't really care what he looks like as long as he's handsome and cute!  xD

The Place:
Ah....I'd want either a wedding at the beach, (although it could get a little wet and/or sandy) or in Disney.  xD  I want a fairy tale wedding.  I love happily ever afters!  So Disney would be ideal, but highly unlikely, unless his parents are millionaires who are willing to pay for the wedding.  xDD

The Song:
Oh, I love music!  xD  Maybe.....

Definitely the last one.  ;)  All three actually.  Plus TONS more.  ;)

The Dresses:
I want a really nice, modest dress.  ;)  Something that's classy looking, and beautiful.  I would like something with sleeves.  Not LONG sleeves, but short ones would be nice.  ;P  I want a dress that's not TOO long, but not short either.  Around ankle length with a train.  But it's not going to be so long I'll fall and kill myself.  A Padme dress.  ;P

Like that.  But maybe a different veil.  xD

I'd have heels, but then I'd need to change like RIGHT after the ceremony because my feet are awful.  xD  I doubt that they'll be better when I get married.  XD

The dress would be white or off white, but no other colors.  The after party dress will be different.   Something with color and more comfortable.  ;)  The bridesmaids dresses would be the accent color (whatever that will be) and either similar or the same.  :)  My wedding will probably be the ONLY time in the history of ever that I'll get Chibi to wear a dress.  My maid of honor needs to wear a dress though!  xDD  Hehe!

That was fun!!!  :)  Thanks Endor!!!!

Sanibel Day 1

Hey y'all!!!!!!

Oh My Gosh!!!!!!!  I LOOVE this hotel!  :)  It has free wi-fi AND computers.  ;)  I'm blogging from one of the computers in the lobby. 

TODAY WAS SO FUN!!!!

After I last blogged to y'all.......
I went to lunch!!!  We went to this really cool little beachy restaurant called the Island Cow.  It was REALLY good food, and the decorations were really creative and fun.  ;)  In Florida, the 'Bigfoot' is called the Skunk Ape, and they had a bunch of "Skunk Ape Sightings" pictures on the wall near the bathrooms.  All the pictures looked like someone in a Chewbacca costume.  xDD

After that, we went to the Shell Museum.  It was SO much fun!!!  :D  We just learned about shells in school, so getting to learn even more about them all was really cool!  We saw a movie about Mollusks in their auditorium, and can I just say that Mollusks are the MOST disgusting creatures EVER.  Snails, Slugs, Octopi, Squids, Clams, Oysters, and Sea Cucumbers fall into the Mollusk Family.  I'm never, EVER eating a Clam or Oyster again.  :P  SO GROSS!!!!!!   XP

After some more fun at the Shell Museum, we went to the Lighthouse.  :)  It was really cool, even if we couldn't go up in it.  ;P
Instead, we walked on the beach!!!  WE SAW DOLPHINS!!!!!!!!  Like, three dolphins!!!!  I got within 7 feet of one of them!!!!!  It was so incredible.  They were wild too!!!  We got tons of awesome shells, and I got totally wet.  :P  Of course, I wasn't wearing a swimsuit.  xD  Poor planning on Mom's part.  xD

After probably an hour or so of that, we got ice cream and went shopping!!!  Shopping was really fun.  ;)  Near our hotel is an outlet mall. The mall had TONS of cool stores that they don't have in town!  My sister and I got our first real pair of Crocs.  :)  You know those little things you put in the hole of the shoes?  Jibbetz?  I got one.  ;)  It was Luke Skywalker.  I'm all excited.  xDD  My sister got a Tangled Jibbetz in hers.  I'm slightly jealous. 

Then we went to the re-sale book store.  OH MY GOSH!!!  I got 4 Star Wars X-Wing books!!!!!  I got 2, 4, 6, and 8.  xD  Now all I need are 1, 3, 5, and 9!!!  LOL, I think they're only 8......Amaranthine?  Andriee??  Anyone??  xDD  let me know how many!  ;)  Thanks!

Animal Count:
3 Dolphins
5 Osprey
1 Tortoise
A lot of Mollusks

Now we're back at the hotel, chilling out for the rest of the night.  ;)  this no-Internet-for-the-whole-trip thing isn't working out like my mom planned.  xDD  I'll most likely get to post everyday about my adventures in Sanibel Island!!!  Yay!!! 

Ooh, and many, many thanks to Abby (The Director) for the Journal I got in the blog giveaway!!!!  I've been using it all day!!!!  :D  Yay!!!  *hugs*  Thanks girl!

Now my dad is nagging at me to get off the computer.....so bye for now!!!!!  :(  I'll be back soon, don't worry!  LOL!

And thanks to my 30 followers!!!!!!!!  I'm so lucky to have all of you!!!!!!  I'll beat you yet Endor!!!!!!!  (btw Endor, I finished chapter 4.  xDD  I'll send it to you maybe tomorrow or the next day if I get a chance.)  :D

Tons of Luv,
Jedi~Chick <333

P.S. I wanna be an Editor when I grow up.   I really enjoy it.  I'm a Beta reader for Endor's fanfiction story, Suffering and Silence, and I'm an editor for Chibi's book Destaria's Only Hope.    I was working on that and Endor's story on the way here, and WHOA Chibi needed an editor.  xDD  You can't list things without commas!!!!!!!  Bah!!!  I was smacking my head against the window.  :P  Overall though, her story rocks.  It's the spelling and grammar that need SERIOUS help.  ;P  LOL!!!  Anyway, I'm done now.  xDD

Wow....

It has been FOREVER since I posted!!!!!!!!  xD  Sorry 'bout that....

I've been REALLY busy.  Be prepared for a long post..........

First of all, I missed the end of March.  xD  I'll get caught up on the blogger challenge.  ;)

Day 24: No, I didn't know that.

Day 25: I have a DSiXL.  LOL!  It's a long name, but a cool system.  My favorite game is The Force Unleashed.  Close in second (and third) is The Clone Wars game I have, and Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games (best game ever, so much fun!!!!!)

Day 26: I think Crocs are okay.  I never really was allowed to have them.  :P

Day 27: Nope.

Day 28: No, no I have not.  xD

Day 29: I guess I'm a good blogger.  You'd have to ask my followers/commenters that.  :)

Day 30: I'd imagine yes, you are.  ;)

Day 31:  Which one of these questions was your favorite??
Ummm...... 4 or 13.  ;)

SOOO, lets get caught up shall we? 

I've been doing school (duh), reading fanfics (double duh), and I've been having a few more adventures as well.  :)

School is going well.  Our third semester just finished, and I did okay.  I got a B in......writing.  D:  It wasn't because of the quality of my work, but the fact I was two weeks late on turning it in.  :P  I need to work on my time management.  ;)
I have 9 lessons in math left.  Which is good, because if I work hard, I can get it over with...I mean, finished.  ;P
I had to pick a person from the Revolutionary War timeframe (my favorite period in history) to write a  mega-essay on for an end of the year project, and I decided on Abigail Adams.  :)  She's really cool.  A strong lady.

Well, for the news on Fanfics, just check my page.  ;)  Lets just say that I am obsessed with Luke and Mara Jade.  :D  BEST PAIRING EVER!!!!!!  They are so perfect together and absolutely adorable.  :DDD  Everyone needs to read I, Mara Jade.  Read my review(s) on my Fanfic page.  :) 

Other adventures.......

Okay, y'all know that I'm a moderator/active member of The Lakehouse Forum.  :D  Well, Amaranthine, Leia and I (the moderators) pranked our forum.  :)  It was really funny.  We opened fake accounts and everything.  It was........something to remember.  ;)  That's for sure. 

I also have a new favorite movie.  Tangled.  SO GOOD!!!!!  I <3 Flynn Rider.  :)

I'm reading a lot of books.  But finishing none of them.  :P  What else is new??

I've started a few new writing ideas.  ;)  I'm doing one inspired by my dear friend............Hermione after we talked for hours about stories at P.E.  I'm getting to see her Monday again.  I'm so happy.  ;) 

I went to my friends' house yesterday!!!!!  :D  Maryanna and I Heart Chewie, my friends in real life and on Lakehouse's house.  :D  We had tea, and ate homemade cookies, biscotti, egg salad and more!  ;)  It was a lot of fun!!!  I played Scattergories for the first time, and we had lightsaber battles.  :)  Oh, and I played the Wii.  I've never played Just Dance before, and I actually did well.  I beat Maryanna.  Maybe those 12 1/2 years of Dance Class paid off.  :P
I also sorta pranked them over the Lakehouse thing.  ;)  It was fun.   *laughs maniacally*  XDD

After that, we went to my grandma's house and had the first swim of the year.  It was a LOT of fun.  My darling cousin and I played in the pool for a few hours, with my sister too. :)  I forgot how much I missed swimming.  xD

And now we're at today.  Today I went to the feedstore, playset place, Kohls, Sears, and then eventually home.  :) 

My sister and I played on a bunch of playsets at the playset place, and we got to hold ducks and baby chikens at the feedstore.  :D 
I got two new outfits at Kohls!!!!  I'll post pictures asap.  I love my new shirts!!  They are so cute.  My style is described as "Beachcomber" according to my mom.  *looks around blog*  I agree.  :)

My sister got some new clothes, including an adorable Easter dress, from Sears.  I'm happy for her.  ;)

Now I'm going to cry because my cousin Chibi is so sweet.  I want to give her a huge hug. 
She invaded Lakehouse for the day as part of our elaborate prank, but she now wants to keep the account, and said that she even wants to try Star Wars!!!!!  Thank You Lord!!!!!  I've been praying for this!!!!!!  See Chibi, maybe being a geek isn't so bad after all.  :D   Amaranthine is a miracle worker, because it's her who really convinced Chibi that maybe Lakehouse is kinda cool.  ;)  We are funny, and Chibi, you're making it 10 times more funny!!!!!!!  She said that she now understands what I spend so much time on, and after we talked on the phone, she said that she originally thought I was just being selfish and spending too much time on the computer, but now she gets how hard it is to keep up with everyone posting.  :)  LOVE YOU CHIBI!!!!!!!!!!!  We totally need to watch a few stars explode.  Then we can have a lifesaver fight.  I promise.  xDD 

Much love y'all, I'm so sorry for not posting!!!!

I'm halfway back!

Hey all!!  I'm halfway back!  I'm only posting because my gracious and forgiving mother decided that *after tears last night of having no internet* I could go on a bit this morning.  I was really good about it for two days.....but then it set in that I can't be at Starbucks for the rest of the week.  :(  Awww.  I like Starbucks!  :P  LOL!

So this post is going to be about being humble, and unselfish, and NOT arrogant.  I struggled with these things a bit last week, because I was more concerned about doing things on the computer than I was worried about getting my school done or being nice to my sister.

I'm pretty sure I've learned my lesson.  I know that being humble is very important, and God shows me to be humble just about everyday.  Being arrogant only makes you a fool.  I've read several verses from our Proverbs People workbook about the Arrogant Fool, the Selfish Fool, and the Simple Fool.  The arrogant fool is a person who acts like they are all knowing and all that, and they think that everyone else is under them.  The selfish fool doesn't care what anyone else thinks, but cares about themselves.  And the simple fool is a person who is just plain stupid.  They keep making the same mistakes and doing the same things, yet they expect different results.  I was being more of a mix of arrogant and selfish with a whole lot of defiance mixed in.

School comes first.  That's always been a rule, but I've failed to uphold it.  :(  Now though, I'm definitely going to get better at that!  :)

I'm really sorry for acting that way, because I know now (and I knew then too, I  was just being too stubborn to admit it) that God despises arrogance and defiance.  I was just being a moody teenager, who wanted to go on the computer and read fanfics rather than do Algebra.  ;P I'm out of that phase, *it only lasted a little while*  and I'm now back to my normal self.  I'm still technically grounded for the week, but it might just be that I'm grounded from the Wi-Fi box until Friday, and that my mom will let me on the big computer every so often.  ;)

So, I'm sorry Mom, for being such a pain and being so annoying and rude the last few days.  I promise it won't happen again!  I love you and I'm working on my schoolwork!  :D

OH!  I remembered something.  I'm obsessed.  With a new thing, not my normal obsessions.  ;)    I'm obsessed with Johnny Tremain.  :D  I watched the movie four times yesterday and OHMYGOSH IT'S THE BEST MOVIE EVER I LOVED IT AND WILL POST ON IT LATER!!!!!!!!!!  *runs in circles and screams*  As you can tell, I'm a bit excited about it.  ;)  This is Johnny from the movie:

Oh My Gosh, he is SO adorable!!!!  :D  They cast Rab, Cilla and Johnny so perfectly.  The movie was better than the book!  :D

More pictures:

Johnny and Rab with Goblin the horse.....

Johnny + Cilla = MAJOR FANGIRL SQUEALLY MOMENT!!  :D

That last picture:  EEEEE!!!!!!!  I FLIPPED OUT!!!!!!!  :D  I was so excited.  Still am, as you can see.  Anyways, the full Johnny Tremain post will be up later.  :)  The song in the movie is SO incredibly catchy.  It's been in my head for two days straight.  :)

Love you all, and Have a great day!  :D
Jedi~Chick <3

P.S.  AHHHH!!!  I have two new followers!!!!!  :D  Thanks new followers!  Welcome!  *hugs*  It's so great to  have you here!  Thank you Sarah and AndrieeJainaSolo for following!  :D  <3
