Fangirl Blast: Ahsoka Tano!

As requested...this lovely Fangirl post will be about the amazing Ahsoka Tano!!!  

Now...Ahsoka is from the fantastic TV show Star Wars: The Clone Wars....so if you don't read about or watch TCW you probably won't understand this post.  XDD  If you don't get it, or you don't like Ahsoka, tune in next week, when I'll be writing about an Original Trilogy character. :)

Character:  Ahsoka Tano

Fandom:  Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Facts:  Ahsoka is a Torgrutan Jedi.  She hails from the beautiful world of Shili and is a padawan under the Chosen One, Anakin Skywalker.  Ahsoka was given the nickname "Snips" by her Master, because her snippy, easy-going attitude proved her deserving of such a name.  She has grown as a character and as a Jedi throughout the four seasons of TCW, and so far Ahsoka is a very popular character among both girls and boys.

What I like about her:  Ahsoka is AMAZING!  She's one of my favorite characters!  She has amazing character development, and as a teenage girl around Ahsoka's age...she's easy to relate to and fun! :) I love the style of her design...she's so PRETTY!  And I love how sarcastic/sassy she is...and her and Anakin's relationship.  ;)

What I don't like about her:  Hmm....I don't know!  XD  I love Ahsoka a lot.  I love how she really learns and grows throughout the show.  I can't think of any negative points about her. 

What I wish did/didn't happen:  I really really hope that Ahsoka doesn't die.  XD  or at least...if she DOES die, I hope it's doing something MEGA HEROIC!  :D 

Pairings/Shippings:  Okay...*cringes waiting for the hate comments*  Rex and Ahsoka.  HEAR ME OUT.  I think that if Ahsoka WERE to fall in love, Rex would be the logical choice....over....say....Lux Bonteri.  :P  Rex is sweet and caring (as many episodes have proved) and he has a real HEART. :)  Ahsoka and Rex both share many character traits, and I could see them as a couple.  Plus, I'm a sucker for Jedi/Clone romance after writing Reaching For The Stars.  ;)

Favorite Quote:  "This is where the fun begins!"  "Always in time to save your life Skyguy." "I Did! You know, when i told you about the giant wall, and you said "oh no snips we arent' going anywhere NEAR THAT!'"  "CHECK FOR A PULSE!!!" (hehe)

Love Begins

I am SUCH a hopeless romantic.

Isn’t it pathetic?  

I know it is.  

But it’s true.  

I am a hopeless romantic.

I watched the Hallmark Channel’s “Love Begins” movie last night.  Yes, I DO watch the Hallmark Channel!!!!!  I watch Little House on the Prairie on that channel, and a few other shows too.  ;)

Anyway….Love Begins was an AMAZING movie.  Jamie Joyce, you’d LOVE IT.  :D  It is a romantic girl’s dream.  It takes place during the gold rush….but this town that the movie takes place in is somewhere in Texas (I believe).

I just was going through pictures on websites from this movie and it is official.  I AM IN LOVE.  <3

I’ll break down the movie/characters now.  ;)

Okay, like I said, it takes place during the Gold Rush.  The town is somewhere in Texas (I think) and it’s got a super cute little town.  :)

Ellen and Cassie Barlow live by themselves on their family farm, since their Father died a while back.  They’re having problems keeping up the farm by themselves, but Ellen is stubborn and refuses to get help from someone in town.  Then a really bad storm hits and destroys the barn door and part of their garden, and Ellen starts warming up to the idea of hiring some help.

Ellen and Cassie are in town for some supplies when they stop in their friend Millie’s restaurant.  A fight breaks out in the diner, and Ellen takes Cassie home.

Clark Davis was in the fight at Millie’s.  But he feels really bad about ruining Millie’s shop, because of his idiot friend who doesn’t use his brain.  :P  Clark and his friend (who’s name escapes me…) are thrown in jail.  His friend breaks out, while Clark stays to right his wrongs.  :)

Ellen grudgingly hires  Clark to come work on her farm, so he can pay off his debt to Millie.  Well….the rest is history.  :)

At first she hates him.  Then they warm up to each other, and then it turns into something more.  :D

Characters:

Ellen Barlow:

Ellen is a hard worker, but she’s incredibly stubborn.  She lives with her younger sister Cassie on the family farm.  She harbors hard feelings for people after the Gold in California (like Clark was before coming upon their town..) because her old boyfriend left for Cali and never wrote, contacted or came home.  She ends up falling in love with her hired hand, Clark Davis.

Cassie Barlow:

Cassie is a little more easy-going than her older sister Ellen.  She befriends Clark almost immediately and helps her sister see the light.  ;)

Clark Davis:

Clark dreams of adventure, travel and gold.  He aimed to go to California, after the gold in the hills there.  After his friend since childhood abandonded him and left him in jail (great friend, huh?) Clark decided to stay in Town and pay his debt to Mrs. Millie.  He was hired out to the Barlow family farm, and ended up falling in love with Ellen Barlow.  :)

oh my force he is so hot!!!! XD

Millie:

Millie owns the restaurant in town and is known for her pie.  :)  She’s a good friend of Ellen Barlow and her daughter (Rose) is best friends with Cassie Barlow.  Millie forgives Clark for wrecking her store, and ends up treating him like a friend.  :D

Now……more pictures!  :D

.....AHHHHHH SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my current laptop wallpaper. <33

Well, that was an amazing movie.  BEST PART?????

It was romantic.  BUT that’s not the BESTEST part.  ;)

Bestest part???  It was a Christian movie.   Clark was led (back) to the Lord through Ellen’s faith.  :D  I loved that part.  :)  I like when they prayed at Sunday Dinner.  And when……Never mind.  SPOILERS!  XD  I won’t say.  ;)

So, go look up this movie!  ;)  I am STILL fangirling about it. 

Love you all!!!!

Love Begins….

Lemonade Mouth

Wow.  I LOVE this movie.  I've only seen it twice and I already love it.  It's got a great message, and such a FUN story!!!!  :D

I know a lot of my friends don't have cable, so I'm gonna give y'all a run down of the  movie and songs.  ;)  I'm gonna turn it into a critique while I'm at it.  ;)  (hey mom.....extra credit???)

First of all, the plot is really nice.  I mean, the overall plot is good, but the side plots with the personal characters are really good too. 
Olivia, Wen, Charlie, Mo, and Stella are Lemonade Mouth.  They are unlikely friends.  They met in detention and start a band.  This is not so original, but the characters themselves are original.  And so is the band. 
These kids all should be in therapy.  :P 
Charlie's trying to live up to his parent's overly high goals for him, set by his older brother.  His brother is the perfect grades, perfect collage, and soccer superstar.  Charlie likes the drums, and is an average student.
Mo has an overprotective father who wants her to be a perfect Indian daughter, when she just wants to be herself. 
Stella's parents are geniuses.  Her twin brothers are geniuses.  She's just......Stella.  Her mom is creating biodegradable plastic, her dad is working to cure cancer, and her twin brothers are rising robotic engineers who build their own toys.  She's a 'rebellious' teenager with an attitude and a strong will.
Wen's parents split up and got a divorce, and his dad moved on an got a 28 year old girlfriend.  (this guy is old btw.  He's got a kid in high school.)  Wen doesn't take well to the new girl friend, who his dad ends up proposing to.
Olivia's mother is dead.  Her father is in prison.  She lives with her grandmother in an 'old timey' house.  Her only connection to her deceased mother is a cat.  A very old, sick and dying cat.  Guess what happens to that cat?

These teens (teenagers, kids, etc.) lean on each other for support thru their problems.  :P
They form this band, and have these new friends when they all have sort of been 'strangers in the crowd' before.  Olivia is the lead singer, Mo plays bass and is a back up singer, Wen plays keyboards, Charlie's on drums, and Stella plays guitar.  They can all sing actually.  xD  The songs are all inspirational and very moving actually.  I nearly cried during "Always More Than A Band".  My favorite song is Determinate.  :)

That's the music.  :)  I love it.  The last one is another one of my favorites.  :D 
Time to learn the plot.  xD

Stella is the 'voice' of Lemonade Mouth.  (that's their band name)  The music has a MEANING.  Listen to the lyrics.  They're good.  :)  (Ley will like this).  Not only that, but the kids are strong willed and are standing up for their rights.  The principal of the school they go to is a "Sports Are Life" kind of person.  He wrecked the school's budget just so they could build a new gymnasium.  He doesn't like people doing anything that ISN'T what he wants to see or hear.  He 'kills' Lemonade Mouth, right after their first performance, because they begin to talk about standing up for what you believe in and standing up for what is right.  Stella was explaining that people need to not let their school, or anything in their lives, rule over them, or let them treat them like they're less than they are.  The principal gets pretty ticked off and 'shuts down' Lemonade Mouth.  But it gets better, because they get a gig at a local pizza place.  :)  It's all good for a while.  The whole town pretty much falls in love with Lemonade Mouth, and they support them.  :)  It so sweet!  Then, (of course) things fall apart.  You see, EVERYTHING falls apart.  The band is supposed to go to "Rising Star" where the winning band gets a record deal and all that jazz.  :P  So, the DAY BEFORE Rising Star, one kid broke his fingers, the other got a black eye, two got sick, and they all ended up in jail.  It's a long story.  :P They still show up at Rising Star, and although they lose, all the Lemonade Fans show their support because they sing for them, when the band can't.  It's actually really sweet.  It's another touching scene.  :)

Of course, everything gets better!!!  (I mean, come on, this is a Disney movie).  It all picks back up because when the band goes to Wen's dad's wedding, Stella sits next to the owner of the lemonade company that inspired their name.  (you gotta see the movie for that part, it's another long story).  Mel (the lemonade dude) sponsors them, and sponsors the school to open a music hall, and then gives Lemonade Mouth a record deal.  The movie ends when they preform at Madison Square Garden.  :)  Happy Ending!!!!!! 

Anyway, I absolutely love this movie.  It has interesting characters, great music, and good morals.  :)  I'd say that it's more for kids from 9 and up, because the characters' problems are a bit......intense(ish).  So yeah.  But this is a Disney movie so it's good.  xD  My sister liked it too.  I'm singing Determinate right now.  :)  I'm hoping for the CD for Easter or something.  :)

Well, that's my Lemonade Mouth post.  xD  Hope y'all liked it!!!!!!!!  :D  For those of you with cable, I'd recommend watching it.  :)  It's airing again on April 28th, at 8pm eastern I think.  Here's the website.

Thanks everyone!!!!!  :)
