In Other News...

Friends!!! I am sorry for neglecting 2Thine for the past few days...I've been wanting to do a few posts, but I haven't gotten a chance to sit down and write at all recently!! :P  I suppose this will be a catch-up post, about everything with me and what I have in store for future blog posts!!!!

This blog has suddenly become quite inspirational...with all these popular posts!!  I'm glad that my writing seems to be appealing to you all!! :)


Anyway, I've just been really busy lately!!!  I have so many emails to get caught up on.....and papers to write for school and practicing to do on my viola.  It's a lot of work.  Plus writing tons of blog posts and other things!! :P  


My cousin had her confirmation over the weekend, and we had an awesome family dinner.  
I am now into My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.  It's awesome.  Seriously.  I am in love with it.  
I've been doing only a little bit of writing lately, and most of it is OC fanfiction/stories.  :D  I'm working on a new book! :)
I cleaned my room (it's a miracle) and there was more glitter on my floor than dirt/dust.  XD
I have issues.  Friend issues mostly, and others.  I'm giving up and giving it to God.  I'm tired of drama.
I love Dance Moms, I love drama that isn't my own.
Because of Dance Moms I am now giving my sister Dance Intensives.  I have learned that I make a pretty good dance teacher.  I pick it up from my job at our studio.  My sister hates me for being her tap teacher though, because Tap is what I'm most passionate about.  XD
I'm thinking of starting a business.  It's all in the works (my head), and I'd appreciate support/prayers.  I decided I want to be an entrepreneur.
My mom is such a fangirl.  Fate of the Jedi's last book (Apocalypse) comes out today, and she's waiting for it to go online at Midnight so she can buy it.  This coming from the woman who's bedtime is 8:30...this is a big deal.  We're going to read it together and fangirl and freak out over it tonight/tomorrow morning.  ;)  I'm excited.

Enough random things....here is a taste of a few posts I have in store for future weeks/days/months/whenever I get a chance to write...
Political post (OOOHHH SCARRYYY)
Art posts
Writing posts
Why i love fanfiction
Life Lessons
Character Soundtracks
My Playlist/Funny Stories about the music I post
Dancer tips and suggestions (I know a lot of you are dancers and probably just as good if not better than me, so maybe we can have fun and learn from each other).  ;)

Thanks everyone!!!  One of those will be up within the next few days (hopefully).  Until then, check out Fangirls on Felucia if you don't already follow, where I post on a regular basis.  ;)

Hi, I'm Socially Awkward.

*sighs* It's true.  I've been thinking about this a lot lately.  Most homeschoolers are labeled as "unsocialized".  It's true, some of us don't have as many friends (or enemies) as kids who go to public school, but as it's been pointed out by many people, both from the internet, in real life and in my immediate family (thank you Ember), homeschoolers have to actively seek out friendships, so they are naturally less shy than other people.

Ehhh.....I beg to differ.  The "seeking out friendships" part has been getting to me recently.  It's not that I don't like my friends, or don't have any friends...I do!  I have amazing friends!  Both in "real life" and on the internet.  I love my internet friends just as much as I do my "IRL" friends.  I just wish I was a little less weird sometimes.

I mean c'mon.  Look at me.  I'm a total geek who lives on the internet, has multiple relationships with multiple fictional characters, enjoys watching sappy movies as well as movies that would normally be classified as a "boy movie", a writer, a fan of country music, a dancer and I play viola.  How many of those sound normal to you?  (if you're my twin, don't say all of them, you do not count. XD)

Who is going to want to be friends with, talk to, or even acknowledge someone like that?  Someone who is usually too shy to even make eye contact with other people her age, but can talk to adults without a problem, and teach little kids even easier.  Someone who either stays to herself, awkwardly ignoring everyone, or is sitting by herself at the co-op lunch room because her mom was late to pick her up.  Someone like me.

I don't always come off as socially awkward, especially on the internet. In "real life"though.....I just can't handle being with other people my age.  Other teenagers who are either my age, younger than me, or older than me, I don't do well with.  If they're younger, they're usually incredibly immature and hard to keep good conversation with (this isn't judging all younger kids, just some.)  And older kids are usually far too cliquey, not wanting anyone or anything else inside their own private little circle of friends.  It's hard to meet new people if they don't even notice you exist.

Lately, my best friend (Maryanna) has been trying to get me interested in sitting with the other kids from our group at P.E.  This includes a few girls, a ton of guys, and a lot of awkward social tension on my end.  I can't seem to make the connection.  I am so much better off with younger kids, and adults.  My dad says it's normal for me to be awkward with other people my age...because I'm a teenager and at this point in time, everyone is growing and changing and it's not really our faults.  My mother, however, has zero sympathy for me, and accuses me of judging others.  I am judging.  Not mean judging, but you judge all the time.  If the chair is wet, you judge that it's not fit for you to sit in.  If there is no milk in the refrigerator, you judge that someone else drank it before you could.  (stupid analogies, but you get my point.)

I'm not judging cruelly, by looks, or even by the words people speak.  As my mother always says, Actions Speak Louder Than Words.  I will admit to judging by actions.  Is that person good at that sport?  Are they nice to the girls?  Are they nice to their friends?  Do they use bad language?  Are they polite?  Etc, etc, etc.  If the person has poor behavior, than it's my place in my own self to judge what I think about it, and what I should do associating with them.  Are they the kind of person that I should be hanging out with?

Now here is where I get confused.  Maryanna seems to be having trouble with being "invisible".  Especially around guys.  I honestly DO.NOT.CARE. if guys notice I exist.  Remembering my name now and then would be nice (HELLO I AM WEARING A NAMETAG!), but I don't want them to be giving me their undivided attention or anything like that.  When the right guy comes into my life, I'll be ready and waiting.  Until then, I don't mind being slightly invisible.

More than judging others, I judge myself.  I judge what others will look at. What a nerd I am, my clothes, my interests, my taste in music, my taste in movies, everything.
......

I like Star Wars, which is automatically assumed by the majority of the human race to be a nerdy thing to like.  The fact that I live, eat, breath, wear, share, quote, watch, am obsessed with Star Wars doesn't help that.  At all.

I am not even gonna say all the times that I've been mocked by my love of country music.  Apparently that's weird?  Wrong?  I don't see why....

Viola?  What's a viola?  Isn't it just a big violin?  What's the difference?  I'll show you the difference.

I write?  For FUN?  I talk about my writing?  I care more about characters than I do other people?  I am spaced out when playing sports because I'm thinking about my story?  What. A. Freak.

.....

I like Star Wars.  And Avengers.  I understand the comics, and the books, and the movies, and the games.  I can relate to boys and girls of all ages, and I have connected with people unlike any other.  It's an awesome feeling to be so excited by something and then meet someone who likes it just as much as you do.  I can talk to most grown men, having intellectual conversations with them, and even impress them with my knowledge.  I don't let my "geekiness" hold me back from being bold about my fandoms.  I'll wear my Captain America shirt in public, proudly and my Her Universe shirt with even more pride.  I am a fangirl!  Hear me roar!!!

Country music?  I LOVE country music!  I know all the words to most of all the songs!  I can sing Brad Paisley like a pro, and belt out Carrie Underwood extremely off key and no where near her amazing voice, but I do it with joy and with pride.  Luke Bryan, Josh Turner, Brad Paisley, The Band Perry, Rodney Atkins, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Lady Antebellum.....these are my artists and bands.  Not Lady Gaga or Katy Perry, these people have good souls, good hearts for God, and they aren't afraid to show it.  :)

What's a Viola?  Only the best instrument ever!  It's unique, it's pitched lower than the violin!  It's deeper, richer and harder to play!  I have to dig into that thing....it's making me stronger.  I'm learning to play like a professional, so that someday, I might be one.  I can play Indiana Jones, Star Wars, ET, Superman and other themes in a heartbeat.  I am learning the classics, Handel, Beethoven, Dvorak, Mozart!  I am a violist, and I'm proud!

I write.  I write for FUN.  I LOVE to write. It is my passion!  I'm not ashamed!!!  It's the most thrilling feeling to get lost in your character's dialogue so much that 1000 words later you can go back and read your work with such excitement at what you've written.  I've written two novels.  TWO.  How many kids my age can say that?  Not many.  I weave tales all the time.  I have thoughts going through my brain too often about how much I love to read, and how i love to write, and how I just want to get back home to my computer so I can finish this chapter or finish this paragraph.  I'll stay up to the early hours of the morning, writing.  People asked at P.E. why I was so tired Thursday morning.  I told them that I was up until 3:30am.  "What?!?" they exclaim, "Doing what?!!" I respond with "Writing." and their confused expression is priceless.  ;)
I'm an author.  I love what I do.  I love to write, and I thank God for that gift every day.  I am proud.

......

Don't be afraid of being yourself!!!!!  To Thine Own Self Be True.
You are cool.  You are awesome.  You don't need anyone to tell you that but yourself.  God already knows it, so woman (or man) up and tell YOURSELF this!  Who cares what other people think?  I sure don't!!!  I am 100% fine with being a nerd/geek/loser/weirdo/dork.  I am!  I am happy with my "boy movies".  I'm happy with my "lame country-hick music".  I'm happy with my viola, with my dance, with my writing.  With my life.
I am happy.  I am fulfilled.  I am loved.

I don't need to be popular, or cool, or liked by other people my age.  I'm okay with my friends that I have.  With my best friends, Maryanna and my best friend/cousin Ember.  We'll be weird together.  I'm okay with my internet buddies....they understand me, and they care about me!  What else do I need?  A little human interaction here and there would be nice...but I am no where near concerned about being "socialized".  No, I don't like other people my age.  I still feel really weird, and problematic, and awkward, but I know in my heart, and in my soul that I am the Daughter of a King who is greater than ALL of that. He created me, to be me.  I shouldn't let anyone, ANYONE, hold me back from what my God has in store for me.

God Bless, and stay weird! :D

My Desk

I have four desks.  XD  Seriously!  I have one in the family room, which is my 'school desk' (it looks like a real school desk), in the living room is my big black desk, but it's covered in junk, in my room is my white old-fashioned desk, which I use most often.  ;)

But now, my desk is simple.  It's.....

The Kitchen Counter.  :)

My 'Desk'. 

All my little junk things.  ;)  My cell phone (and my camera goes next to it) on a grip thing that I found, my 'teacup piggy' from Christmas, action figures, book and Bible, Vinylmations and a few other odds and ends.  ;)

All my school sttuff.  Science, Grammar, Spelling, History/Philosophy, Copywork, and Math.  :P

My baby....my laptop.  ;)  It's all purple!  :D  I have little stickers on it, and that's a post-it-note with my day's assignments on it.  ;)  My mouse pad reads "Star Wars, Luke + Mara, Han + Leia, Anakin + Padme, Flynn + Rapunzel and Lizzie + Mr. Darcy.  :)  It also has a few stars and hearts drawn on it.  ;)  As you can see, my wallpaper is Mara Jade.  ;)

Pointless post...I know, but I'm working on a post about the Star Wars Baseball Game I went to last night!!!  :D  That will be a fun post.  ;)  LOL!!

May the Force Be With You, and Happy Schooling......
Love,

Pictures, Updates and Music!

*sighs*
I am tired.  Honestly, I am.  XD  I have been working like crazy on school all day.  I just spent literally 4 hours doing literature with my mom.  I think I'm gonna burst.
Egyptian Literature is ridiculously complicated.  XD  I DO have a favorite poem though.....

I Think I Shall Go Home And Lie Very Still
By:  Some Dead Egyptian Guy.
I think I shall go home and lie very still
feigning terminal illness.
And all the neighbors will troop over and stare
my love perhaps, among them.
And oh how she'll smile as 
the specialists snarl their teeth!
And she'll know exactly what ails me.


What do you mean that was weird????  I have that sucker memorized.  XD  Seriously, I wrote that from memory.  ;)  EPIC!

*giggles*  Hehe, funny lemur guy.....I love them, I don't know what they are, but I love them.  I also love this guy:

OMG HE LOVES THAT STICK!  XD

Alright, joking aside....
School is eating me.  Alive.  I am trying to kill it from the inside but it refuses to die.  XD  It's a good thing I'm interested in what I'm learning about though, or I'd be horribly miserable.  ;)  I am just tired, I'm not always this whiny.  (I AM NOT, MOM!!!)  XD

Froggy....XD

Well, my attention has been on school....fanfiction.....Lakehouse.....school......school......uhm....reading(?).....for school....xD  Well, Mom, you can see where my priorities are.  xD

I am very much in love with Fanfiction.  But you all know that.  XD  I have been doing a lot of work on my stories, and have updated.....three and written two one-shots in the past week!  :D

I love DeviantART.  It is so awesome.  So is this picture:

Get it??  I watched TRON Legacy recently and am TOTALLY in love with it.  ;)  It was INCREDIBLE.  :D

Epic, huh?  xD

Well....I have P.E. and Dance tomorrow....so I better get to going.  ;)  Expect a REAL post soon.  ;)  In fact, I have one in the works that will be good.  :D

Love,

This post is a procrastination device......

I should really be finishing cleaning my room.

I should probably be doing the dishes, or practicing the viola, or laundry or something.

I most likely should not be blogging right now with so many other things to do....

BUT..........

I want to blog!  ;)

I'm watching Star Wars, A New Hope right now.  :)  I love that movie.  (Nooo, really?!?)  I do, I really do.

I have a few important things to blog about though.  XD

First and foremost, OhmigoshIaminlovewithAllegiancebyTimothyZahnitissogoodIstayedupuntil4:30am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you couldn't read that, I'll sum it up.  XD  I stayed up until 4:30am last night/this morning reading Allegiance by Timothy Zahn.  It is SOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I fell in love with it.  :)  I was just going to run through it quickly so I could read Choices of One in fuller understanding, but I couldn't do it!  It was too good!!!!!
I am in love (with the character) of Daric LaRone.  :)  He is SO KRIFFING AWESOME!!!!!!

The Stormtroopers in this book are so....different.  I used to think of the Stormtroopers as mindless Imperial servants who just shot blindly and were killed easily.  Now I don't think so.  The Hand of Judgement is the coolest thing since sliced bread.  And I think sliced bread is pretty darn cool.

Another thing, I got a bookshelf!!!
What?  What's wrong with being excited for a bookshelf?!?
I am quite excited about it, because my books pill out of every possible place in my room.  XD  So this is a big deal!  :D  I am now able to properly display all my books.  :)  I'll post a picture when my room is put back together.  XDD

I'm going to my friends Maryanna and I Heart Chewie (from TLF)'s house tomorrow!!!!  I'm excited for that. Whenever we get together, we have TONS of fun.  xD
Maryanna (the REAL Maryanna btw) has read Reaching For The Stars, my novel/fanfic, and the character of Maryanna is based off of her.  ;)  She and I have a lot of inside jokes about RFTS and the characters I write about.  XD  Now though, they're becoming more of characters than they are people. XDD

I played around with an avatar creator and made Mari from my book.  xD  Only, her lightsaber's green.  :P  It was just for fun.  And the picture's teeny.  :P


Well, that's all for now!  I'll be back later, with a better post.  XD

Farewell My friend!  I shall return!  xD

(something's weird with my video/picture uploading system.....so no signature.  :P)

Jedi~Chick AKA Fallon!  :)

Fangirling, Meme, and catching up AGAIN!

AGH!!!  I've been busy yesterday and I forgot to do the fangirl wah and meme.  xD 

OOH!!!!!  Tis offical, I have a new blog!!!!!  :D  Here is the link: The Kindling Of The Flame
I got the name from Johnny Tremain, the movie.  At the end, Cilla says, "Oh johnny, I'm so glad it's over," and James Otis says something to the effect of, "Oh but it is not over, it is just the beginning, only the kindling of the flame."  I KNOW he said Kindling of the Flame though, and because that left such an impact on me, I decided to use that as my blog name.  :)

Anyway, onto more/other things........

Day 6 Meme:  Favorite Political Entity
Ooh, this is easy.  The Rebel Alliance.  I LOVE THEM!!!!!  They have Luke, and Leia, and Han, and Wedge, and SO MANY OTHER AWESOME PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!  Thanks to the Rebel Alliance I am the fan I am today!  :)

Day 7 Meme: Favorite Creature
Hmm.....I like lots of creatures.  I think my favorite is the Kowekian Monkey Lizard.  I have one......her name is Lilac and she is purple and blue........hehe.....Lakehouse girls will know what I'm talking about.  xD 

Okay, now for the fangirl WAH.  :P  Yesterday was Swoon Worthy Guys, and I don't remember what today's is......
*goes to check*
Today is What has it done for you?
Well, I'll FINALLY finish my Star Wars Story post today, and that will count as the Fangirl WAH.  Okay?  :P 
Anyway, I'll do Swoon Worthy Guys thing. 

LUKE SKYWALKER!!!!!  I <3 Him!  Picture time!

EEEEHH!!!!!!  Haha!!!  :DDDD

Okay, next one.  HAN SOLO!!!!!!!!!!!!  Just for the record, he's equally as amazing as Luke.  :D

AHH!!!!!!!  XDD  I love Han.  ;)

Next one......ANAKIN SKYWALKER!!!!!!!!!!  I love him too.  xD  He's SO CUTE!  EEP!

WHAT?  What do you mean Cartoon Characters aren't swoon worthy?!?!?!!  I find those last three pictures VERY SWOON WORTHY!!!!!!!  XD

Others that aren't Star Wars..........

Don't you judge me.......XDD

Anyway......yeah.  :P

Today my family is going to the local animal shelter.  We've been doing this fundraiser that my sister started all by herself called Dog Squad.  We've collected TONS of donations over the past month, and we're finally taking it to the shelter today.  ;)  It's amazing!  I'll post pics soon!!!!  :D  I'm hoping to bring something home from that shelter,.......but my mom already said no.  :(  Aww.....maybe she'll change her mind.......XD  I wish!!!

Anywho, I'll be around.....but I'll be working on Abigail Adams today.  GO TO THAT LINK AT THE TOP OF THIS POST!!!!  I'm so proud of it.  :)  LOL!

OH!  And one more thing, I love fanfiction.  I'll be updating my page later.  I have one author who I'm like the ONLY person who reviews her stories.  She wrote me a personal note in her bio page and I was so excited!  It made me feel so good.  ;)  Aww. 

Alright, I've got to go.....ttyl!  XD

Love,
Jedi~Chick <33
