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!

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!  :)

I forgot....

I did a guest post!  :D  I'd love for you all to read and comment!  ;)
I did the post at my good friend Endor's blog.  :D  Love you Endor....you let me get away with waiting forever to do this post.  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!

Convention Day 1

Technically this is not a convention day.  XD 

SO, here I am, now in my hotel room, which is HUGE, and AMAZING, typing away at the lovely free wifi!!!!!

Here is where I'm staying:
http://www.gaylordhotels.com/gaylord-palms/

We're staying in a suite in the Key West section.  ;)  I LOVE it!!!!!  My sister and I get our own room, while my parents get their own room.  :D  And we have a huge bathroom with hallway. :)  It's SO great!!!!  Plus, we've got a flatscreen TV!!!!!!!!!

And the pool is awesome.  We're gonna go swimming tonight!  And have dinner on this boat place.  We're gonna have dinner next.  ;)

I love you guys!!!!  Ooh!  And I'm going to do a picture documentary of this trip.  I brought my new Anakin action figure and I'm going to take a picture of him each place I go.  :)  Yay!!!!  I already took pictures of him in the hotel room.  ;)

So, until later,

God Bless and May the Force be with You,

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

Getting Caught Up on the Star Wars Meme

I've gotten behind again.....but this time it's not my fault.  Blogger was down for a while, and I couldn't get on.  XD

SOOOO!!!!!!  I'll work on it. :P

Day 11: Favorite Weapon
A lightsaber.  Duh!  XD  I love lightsabers.  My favorite color lightsaber is blue.  Though if I had one, I'd want either a pink one like Pink Five or a teal colored one. ;)  Cool huh? 

Day 12: Favortie Non-Human Species or Race
I dunno.  I like Togrutas, like Ahsoka or Shaak Ti.  I also like the Wookiees and Twi-Leks.  ;)

Day 13: Most Memorable Death
*SOB*  Padme.  Or Anakin/Darth Vader.  MARA JADE!!!!!!!!!!!!  I still can't believe she's dead.  In fact, I refuse to believe it.  Instead I'm going to deny it forever and ever and pretend she lives on in my little EU world.  :P

I'll go ahead and do days 14 and 15 too, because most likely I won't get around to it tomorrow or the next day.  XD

Day 14: Favorite EU Novel
Ooh.  I like a lot of them.  I like the Thrawn Trilogy, and I LOVED the Jedi Academy Series.  That was my first official book series of the EU.  The Jedi Academy Series.  :)  It was great!  My other favorites include The Courtship of Princess Leia, Truce at Bakura, and The Rise and Fall of Darth Vader (I consider it EU). 

Day 15: Favorite Vehicle
X-WING!!!!!!  Or the Millennium Falcon!!!!  :D  I love that bucket of bolts.  ;)  I also very much like the Snow Speeders from ESB.  ;)

Now that that's done, enjoy this song that I'm currently obsessed with.  I taught myself to play it on the violin.  ;)  It's called the Ashokan Farwell.  No, not AHSOKAN, ASHOKAN.  XDD  I did the same thing when I first saw the song.  :P  LOL!  Ugh.  The little video thing isn't working, so here's a link.  :P

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGqBggXvtDE

News for KOTF (Kindling of the Flame for those of you who don't know.....) I WILL be posting again.  :P  Sorry it took so long....I had to actually finish the report, and then Blogger died, and then the wi-fi was off before I could even do it!  XD  I have two posts written up now, and Jedi~Chick may hack into Abigail's blog a little bit.....LOL!  I'll see how it goes.  ;)  Thanks everyone for your support and follower-ness of my new blog!!!!  :)

Now I'll be off to a viola lesson soon, so talk to y'all later!!!!  :D

P.S. MOM PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!!!!!!!!!!  XDD

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

Say Hey!!!

Say Hey!!!  I'll be gone today!  But I'll be back around the way!!  Seems like everywhere I go, the more I see the less I know, but I know, one thing: That I Love You!!!!  I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!  :D 

That's the song Say Hey by Michael Franti.  :)  I am OBSESSED with it right now, because it's our finale song for Dance, and we have to sing ^^^ that part above.  ;)  That goes out to all my followers!!!  :)  Hehe!

Yay!!!  Our dances are almost done!!!  :D  I'm so excited!!  My lyrical has about ten seconds left, and my tap has three counts of eight.  (you do the math).  ;)

I was just informed by my mother that I have another critique due tomorrow.  Current word count on that thing: 0.  I've got a heck of a lot of writing to do!!!!!!  Talk to you at....oh, 3 am??  :P  Yeah.

Other current obsessions.....(because I'm a very easily obsessed person,)
TANGLED!!!!!!  Guess what that zero-worded critique is on?  ;)  You got it!  Tangled!!!!!
I really, REALLY want a Rapunzel barbie doll.  Don't laugh, I'm dead serious.  I'm going to save my money and buy her from Wal-Mart this weekend.  ;)
Right now I stole my sister's.  I also borrowed her Maximus the horse.  Yeah......"borrowed".  :P  Hehe! 

Speaking of Tangled, let's see some video:

I LOVE THAT SONG!!!!!!!!  It's so romantic, I tear up!

HEHE!!!  :D  I love that!!  They are SO perfectly in character!!!!  :)

Again, I LOVE how in character they are!!!!!!  I SOOOO wanna meet Flynn!!!!  <333

:)  Picture time!!! 

Oh Deviantart.....how I love thee.  xD

Okie Dokie.  Enough Tangled madness.  :P  I wanted to share this little thing too.  Another obsession of mine.  ;)  Luke and Mara Jade. 
I MADE IT!!!!!!!!  :D
Don't own the song: it's by Taylor Swift. 
Don't own the pics: they're from Deviantart or Wookieepedia.....or friends with extensive libraries.  xD

Tell me what you think!!!!!!  :D 

Anyway......I just felt the need to post, so there's my post.  xD

I've got a paper to write, a movie to re-watch and a few fanfics to read. 

OOH!  Speaking of fanfics, my page is updated!!!!  So are a few other pages.  ;)

Alrighty then!  Have a great weekend!!  I'm sure I'll post again soon!!  :D

Lot's of Love,

(see that?!?  I made that!!  All by myself!!  Aren't you proud?  XDD  Jk!)

Pirate Ships and Birthdays

Wow.  I haven't posted in a few days!  xD  I've been busy though.  Very busy...

Birthdays...........
Today is my Momma's birthday!!!!!!!!!!!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!!!!!!!  :)  Wish her a happy birthday either here, or on her blog.  ;)  We had a very nice birthday breakfast, and I got her a pretty necklace that says "God's Love Endures Forever".  ;) I love my Momma!  ;)  Hope you had the best birthday ever Mom!!!  :D

Pirate Ships.........
Right now I'm sitting in our Shipwreck.  My mom set up a bunch of sheets and curtains to create a 'tent' in our living room.  ;)  It turned out more like a shipwreck with ton of hanging sheets and all our pillows set up.  It's very comfortable and cute, and it makes me feel like a little kid again.  ;)  And now we're watching Loony Tunes as a family.  :D  I love this. 

Okay, now for just a few update sort of things. 

First of all, I think I'm going to try and get some sort of schedule like Qui and Amaranthine have.  I need to come up with something though.  I'll let y'all know.  ;) 

I'm going to update my FanFic page right now.  I know that Endor uses my page (she loves me for it) and I also know that a few girls on Lakehouse have been using it too.  ;)  I'm SOOO addicted to Fanfic.  It's so.....amazing.  I love writing it almost as much as I love reading it.  ;)

I saw Disney on Ice!!!!  It was fantastic!!  I'm working on a post for it.  It was so colorful and really fun!!!!!!!  My favorite part was the Valentine's Day part, the Lilo and Stitch part, and the Princess Tiana/Mardi Gras part.  It was a great show.  :D 

I'll write more later.  I've got a ton of posts planned.  Some of them include:

Alice in Wonderland and My Weekend Schedule

Wow....
I've been listening to The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland on audio book, and well......it's......really........really........strange.  It's like, Alice is mental.  She needs to go to an asylum or something.  She's really scary.  She wants to kill herself because she leaves the little golden key on the table in the beginning.  Then she nearly drowns in her own tears.  And then she goes and talks to random animals who come and swim in her tear ocean.  THEN, she goes and talks on and on and on about a bunch really creepy/random things.  She has like, suicidal thoughts the whole time.  And I'm only on the first CD.  I kept laughing about the weirdness of it all.  :P

School is so much.  I've got so much stuff to do.  I'm still working on it, and I'm nearly done!!!!!  I already took care of my math test, and my spelling words, and I finished my critique.  ;)  I've still got a few more things to do though. The number one thing is to practice my viola.

My Weekend is going to be pretty crazy.  :)  I'm pretty excited!  LOL!
Saturday: I've got all morning to clean my room and finish my school.  Then I have an orchestra concert.  Yipee.  Then, I have more time to practice my viola.  It's going to be a pretty busy day. 
Sunday will be even more busy. 
Sunday: I've got to get up early to go to my sister's choir concert at our church.  Then I have a viola lesson, and finally, we're going to go see Disney on Ice.  I can't wait.  :D  One of the little kids in my dance class is going to see it too.  She was like, "What if I see you?!?"  I was smiled and replied, "Maybe you will!" and she said, "Then I'd run up and give you a BIIIIG hug!!!"  I she then gave me a hug, and I was so touched. ;)  She's so adorable!!!!!  :D 

So that's my weekend.  ;) 

I'm writing a review of How to Train Your Dragon *the movie, because apparently it's a book*, and that should be up soon(ish).  ;)  Thanks to all my followers and for all your comments!!!!!!!!!

Jedi~Chick <3333333

P.S. Read my Fanfic page!!!  I updated it, and I added a thing all about tips for reading fanfics/navigating fanfic.net.  ;)  Enjoy!!!!  Tell me what you think!

Love that picture.  :D

If We Weren't All Crazy, We'd All Go Insane

That *points to blog title* is my new favorite quote.  It's from a Jimmy Buffet song.  ;)  I'm actually listening to Jimmy Buffet as I type.  I <3 Jimmy Buffet.  ;)  The music is so......Florida-ey.  Makes me happy.

I'm so exhausted.  My weekend was so crazy, I don't know how I managed to do so much! 

UGH!  I want to go back to sleep.  XP

So, my weekend was really, really, really fun.  ;)  First, on Saturday, I went with my dad at 6 AM to a Heart Walk near where I go to Orchestra.  I got 3 hours of sleep the night before, mind you.  :P  Anyway, I walked 3 1/2 miles, but my dad lied to me and said it was only 2.  XP  Bad Daddy!!!  Tricking your daughter into walking 3 1/2 miles!!!  XD  LOL!
So, after that I was pretty tired, but I was okay.  It was only 10:00 am when we got home.  I also bought the first two Kingdom Series books.  :D  So excited to start reading 'em!!!!!  :D

After that, I had to hurry up and get ready for a viola lesson.  ;)  My lesson was long, but I learned alot and have a LOT of practicing to do!  I'm now supposed to practice for 2 hours each day....everyday.  :P  Yippee.

After my lesson, since we were already out, my mom told my dad to go to this nature center near by.  We frequent the nature perseves in town, so we like visiting new ones.  :)  This one was near the beach, and it had a boardwalk that went out by the water.  :D  So fun!!!!! 

Then we climbed a HUGE tower that shot waaaaaaay up into the sky.  I felt so dizzy when I looked down.  XD

That's what we saw.  Those are the trees, and the boardwalk.  :)  It was REALLY high.  Or I may just be short......XD  LOL!  :P

So, after we did that, my sister and I wanted to go to the beach down the street.  :)  We were SO SO SO SO eager to get in or near the water.  :D  My mom agreed that we could go for a while, just to look, since we didn't have our swimsuits.  My sister and I immediately ran to the beach, and walked in the water.  I was wearing a skirt that was almost above my knee, so I was okay to go in, but Nutmeg was wearing long jeans.  XD  She was upset the rest of the night that her jeans were wet!  Here are a few pictures of what we did at the beach:

I got SOOO close to that little crab.  Then it ran toward me and I screamed.  XD  yeah.....

We saw two HUGE cruiseships, and (as you can see in the above pictures) they were SUPER close!!!!!   :D  LOL! 
That third picture is my absolute favorite.  :)  It's so sweet.  :D 
I collected sea beans, which are the coolest thing you can find on the beach.  My new hobby.  :) 
Click Here for more on sea beans.  :)

BUT WAIT, there's more.  ;)  After the beach, we decided to go out to somewhere special for dinner. 

There.  We went there.  My parents went on dates there.  :)  It was so amazing.  Best. Food. Ever.  BUT, it was SOOO filling!!!  I was stuffed after half of my pork sandwich!!!  :P

Saturday night was the Super Moon.  Click Here for more on the Super Moon.  ;)  I got to see it right over the beach.  SO beautiful.  :) 

Then we started home.  BUT, my dad decided to get us ice cream.  We stopped at the best frozen custard place in the world.  :)  SO GOOD!!!!!  I had banana frozen custard with hot fudge on top.  It was amazing.  I love it.  ;)  Now, we were all insanely tired, and went home.  After showers and dumping the sand out of our shoes, we were ready to go to bed.  Well, everyone else was.  Me?  Not so much.  I didn't go to bed until 3am again.  :P  Bad me.  Bad me.  Instead, I finished up ALL of my over due homework and got it out of the way.  Then I wrote up a few ideas that had been swimming in my head, and today I'm going to write a really fun fanfic that I can't wait to put on Lakehouse.  :)

Sunday was equally as crazy.  Again, I had to get up fairly early, because my dad, sister and I went to our town's art show.  We volunteered in the city's booth, since my dad works for the city.  It was pretty fun, but it was really hot out.  Luckily for me, (we didn't get a lot of traffic, so I was bored(ish)) I got Wi-Fi reception from the nearby Jamba Juice.  :D  I finished reading my new favorite fanfic.  :D  It was AMAZING!!!  I think I posted the link in the fanfiction page.  If not I will, because Endor HAS to read it!!!!  It's all about Anakin and Padme, and they're family.  Family is like the main essence of the story, and it is SOO my kind of AU.  :D 
We ended Sunday by going to grandma's house to tell her happy birthday, (her b-day was yesterday!!!) and then I went home and practiced, and then it was church.  The sermon was good.  :)  I REALLY should get caught up on all my church notes.  XP  sorry!  ;)

Alright, tonight's orchestra night, so I better get off Blogger so we can get ready to go.  :)  I'll post more later.  :D  I've got to update my pages, and do a little re-designing.  ;)  I think I'm going to either do another beachy theme, or possibly something a little more girly.  I'll figure it out later.  :D

Lots of Love,
Jedi~Chick <3333

Alright, be prepared for another long post later.  ;)  I've got to load a few pictures.  Also, who's getting tired of this shamrock design??? *raises hand*  Saint Patrick's Day is over.  I think I'll make another one.  I'm gonna keep it Florida like, (because I'm proud to be a FL girl,) but it will be different than last time.  ;) 
LOL (lots of love)

I'm a Bee

I'm a busy bee today.  I've got SOOO much to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  O.O  It seems like my to-do list has absolutely no end.  :P 

I'm working on school: a book about Soil (lapbook), a lapbook on worms (ewww), and a re-write of the critique I did for Johnny Tremain. 

I've got Viola: Scales, Solos, and a recital piece.  PLUS, I'm re-learning my positions and posture.  I have another lesson tomorrow.

I've got the miscellaneous: I want to write a few story ideas down that have been floating in my head, READ, fix my iTunes thing, read fanfiction, organize my closet, do a heart walk with my dad tomorrow, volunteer with my dad at an Art Show on Sunday, clean my room, scan fanart I've done for Lakehouse, re-do my Blog Design, change my purse, buy the Kingdom Series books, buy the newest TCW magazine, AAAAAANNNNNNNDDDDDDDD......................oh, wait, I think that's it.  :P

So yeah.  I've got a lot.  PLUS, I had a busy day today.  ;)  And yesterday!  I'll just post on both.  So, be prepared for a long post today.  ;D

March Challenge:
Day 17:  Is there something that makes your insides feel strange?  Kinda inspired but......something else?
Maybe.  I dunno.  I'd say success stories, like, people overcoming the impossible.  ;)
Day 18: What is your favorite quote(s)?
UGH, that list is really long.  So I'll just do my favorite quote of the day.  ;)
"So Young Princess Leia brought Coral and Pearls...." Jimmy Buffet, Chason Pour Les Petits Enfants

Okie dokie, now that that's out of the way! I'll post about my crazy Thursday and Friday.  :D

Thursday was P.E. day.  It was really fun!
Two of my best friends (who usually don't come) came and we got to spend four-almost five hours together!  :)  It was really cool.  I stayed an extra hour and a half to do a fun walk with them, and (it was Saint Patrick's Day) and we got to talk the whole time.  My one friend (who I'm going to call......Pearl (for various reasons)) so Pearl and I got to talk, while my other friend (I'm gonna call him Luke, because he looks like ROTJ Luke) while Luke was stolen away by some random 7 year old girl.  This kid suddenly decided that Luke was her best friend, and walked the whole fun walk holding his hand and leading him everywhere.  It was actually pretty funny, because Luke didn't know the kid, or want to walk the whole time with her, but he was too nice to say no, and both the girl's parents' were there, so he walked with her.  I wore green, like, all over.  I had a green skirt, a green undershirt, a green pair of socks, green marker on my nails, green bandaids, green eyeshadow, and a gold headband.  ;)  It was really fun.  Pearl was a little more crazy with the green though.  She had green marker EVERYWHERE.  She even colored in her lips.  :P  It was really funny.  So, after I spent time with Pearl and Luke, we (my mom, sister and I) went to Chibi*Chick's house for a while.  We talked, ate ice cream, talked some more, admired Chibi's new flat screen TV, and then we had to go home.  My mom had my sister and I do some school for a while, and then I worked on a few writing projects.  I ended up staying up until 3 am last night, because I couldn't sleep and I was busy.  I sent Amaranthine the article for the Lakehouse newsletter, and then I stayed up reading and writing for hours.  Oh, and I also organized ALL my pictures on my computer, which was a HUGE task.  But it's done now.  ;)  My Star Wars pictures are organized by character, and then everything else is in separate folders.  ;)  Eventually, I fell asleep. 

Friday was SO much fun!!!  :D  I actually woke up really late, because I stayed up so late the night before.  My mom wasn't to happy about that, but I got up and dressed quickly, ate some waffles, and then ran around the house with my sister to go to school.  ;)  I did spelling, copy work, devotion, and then the exercises (for my sister's dyslexia therapy) and then it was math time.  As y'all already know, I loathe math.  (I'm not allowed to say I hate it).  I despise it, I dislike it strongly, I very much do not enjoy doing it.......but today I actually had fun.   My mom helped me get through the problems I missed on my worksheet, and then I started on the test.  I was frustrated with FOIL, (first, outside, inside, last) for multiplying factors.  I don't usually like the FOIL method, because it's complicated, but my mom made it fun.  She grabbed a sheet of tinfoil, and shaped it on my head to make my "thinking cap".  I didn't like that at first, and was all irritated, so I balled the tinfoil up and threw it at her.  My mom laughed and grabbed the box that the tinfoil comes in, and used it like a bat.  We balled up a ton of tinfoil, and took turns throwing it at each other, reciting math facts each time we hit it.  I was surprisingly good at Foilball.  ;)  I don't think I've ever had so much fun in math.  :P

After that, we went to Butterfly World!!!!!!  Man, I LOVE Butterfly World!  It's so fun there.  It was really crowded today, with all the spring breakers, but we still had fun.  My sister and I fed the Lorikeets, which are cute little parrots, and one landed on my shoulder, and was licking my hair.  I was laughing so hard, because it tickled, and the little bird WOULD NOT get off!!!!  See:  It felt SOO weird!!!  :D

                                         

After that, we worked on school at Butterfly World, got ice cream, and went to the library.  I love our library.  ;)  Our family always goes to the library's bookstore, which has ALL kinds of great bargain books and movies.  I got Indiana Jones The Last Crusade on VCR for 50 cents.  ;)  I also got the Attack of the Clones novel for 25 cents.  ;)  YAY!!!!  I rented How to Train Your Dragon and Revenge of the Sith, and I got a couple of great CD's.  :)  I got the Fireproof soundtrack (which is AH-MAZE-ING) and I also got The Clone Wars movie soundtrack, and the movie Hoot soundtrack.  All are great!  :)

 The last.......7 hours, I've been catching up on school and trying to do the things in the above list.  I've gotten a lot done, but I still have a LOT to do.  I'll probably be up until 2 or 3 again working.  ;)   Oh well. 

Talk to y'all later!!!!!  :D 

Love,

Jedi~Chick <3

P.S. Thanks to Jedigal1990 for following!!!!!  :D  Yay!!!!!  Welcome to my blog!!!!!!!  :)

Day 15: What music do you usually listen to?

Okay, there's a list.  Owl City, BarlowGirl, Taylor Swift, Country Music (mainly from the Radio Stations in our area), Star Wars Music, The Percy Jackson Soundtrack (I got it from the library!!!!  :D), Selena Gomez, Jimmy Buffet, Celtic Women, and Irish music.  :D

I'm SO excited for Saint Patricks Day!!!!!  :D  I'm going to change my blog design just for the occasion.  ;)  It'll go back to my normal one, or possibly a new one after maybe Friday.  ;)

Also, tonight I'm going to a concert at Chibi*Chick's school.  It'll be fun.  :D

I have issues with Math.  :(  Even easy lessons seem hard.  :P 

I'm watching Wild Kratts with my sister.  :)  I LOVE THAT SHOW!!!!!!  :D  It sorta reminds me of Kim Possible.  I'm watching the Platypus episode.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE Platypus's!!!!!  :D  (Platypi? Platypeople?  Oh, you know what I mean.)  LOL, Phineas and Ferb.  ;)

Okay, I'll be getting off now.  ;)  I'm going to play around with my backgrounds and designs.  ;)

Oh, and Welcome and thanks for following Nana!!!  :D  Enjoy my blog!!!  :D 

God Bless and Lots of Love,
Jedi~Chick <3

Days 13 and 14

I'm baaaaacccckkkkk!!!!!!  *cue creepy music*  LOL, Just kidding.  ;)  But seriously, the Wi-Fi is back and so am I!!!  :D  Yay!!  :D  I promise to work really hard and not lose it again.  ;)

So.  Days 13 and 14.  ;)

Day 13: Post an excerpt of something you've written.  If you haven't written anything, post a picture of something you are passionate about. 

Okay, I'll do both.  :)  Picture first. 

Percy Jackson and Star Wars.......that sums up the I'm-Obsessed-With-This-Week thing.  ;)  So yeah, I'm passionate about it.  :D  Also,

No, that is not a Violin, it is a Viola.  Viola is the best instrument in the world.  ;)  :D  I'm also passionate about that.  :)  (so ha, mom!!)

An Excerpt of something I've written......Well, okay!  ;) 

This is the Luke/Mara story I mentioned in the last post.  :)  I LOVE writing it!  It's really fun.  Totally AU, half because I don't know everything that goes on in the EU and half because I don't like what goes on in the EU.  ;)  Enjoy!!!  :D 

Luke walked into his apartment on Yavin 4, smiling about the progress of his day, but sighing in exhaustion.  He smiled brighter as he stood in the doorway of his kitchen, watching his beautiful wife Mara playing with the baby in the Family room while Ben was playing with his toys on the couch.  Luke stepped into the room and winked at Ben, who immediately wanted to get up and give his dad a hug.  Luke silently walked up to Mara and put his hands over her eyes.  “Guess who?” he said playfully, and Mara grabbed his wrists, and twisted them not-so-gently. “I knew you were there Farmboy, I felt you when you were leaving work.” She said laughing.  Luke grinned and rubbed his wrists.  He kissed Mara’s cheek and helped her up from the floor.  She picked up baby Padmè, and handed her to Luke, who kissed the baby’s soft head.  “Hello Padmè!” he said grinning at the baby girl.  Ben popped up from the couch and latched himself onto Luke’s leg, begging for attention.  “Hello there Ben, I didn’t forget about you!” he said and hugged his son.  Ben smiled and ran into the kitchen.  “Dad, Dad!!” he yelled, “Come here!!  Mom let me keep Jumpy in this bucket!” he cried, dragging his dad into the kitchen.  Luke laughed as Mara frowned at the bucket near the back door.  “Ben, you promised it would go back outside before bed.” She said, and Luke laughed again.  “Don’t worry Mara, he knows that Jumpy has a home outside, not in the apartment.  Right Ben?” Luke said lifting an eyebrow at his son.  Little 5 year old Ben nodded.  “Yup Daddy!  I’ll put Jumpy back now.  I promise.” He said crossing his heart and running with the bucket outside.  Luke smiled and looked down at the baby girl in his arms.  Padmè was named after Luke’s mother, just as Han and Leia’s son Anakin was named after his and Leia’s father.  Luke smiled down at the baby….she had little golden fuzz on her head, and bright green eyes just like Mara’s.  Ben shared his dad’s blue eyes, but had Mara’s hair.  Padmè was the other way around.  He rocked the baby in his arms, lulling her to sleep.  Padmè was only a year old, and she was pretty tiny.  Mara leaned against the kitchen counter, smiling warmly at Luke.  Luke, Grand Jedi Master, Founder of the New Jedi Order, was standing at home, rocking a baby.  Mara giggled.  She picked up Ben, and carried him upstairs to his bedroom.  Luke heard Ben ask Mara about their upcoming trip to Coruscant.  “Mama, when will we get to see Aunt Leia and Uncle Han again?” he asked.  “Soon honey, we leave in two days if you’re daddy’s ready by then….”  Luke smiled again.  He shifted the sleeping baby onto his shoulder and walked upstairs to put the baby to bed.

That was only chapter one.  I have five chapters now.  :)  Someday if I ever get a Fanfic account, I'll post it there.  ;)  I'm going to put it on Lakehouse.  :)

Okay, Day 14!

Day 14: Are you late all the time?

Yes, but I really shouldn't be.  Well, I should say not ALL the time, because I make it to classes and lessons on time and sometimes early, but never late.  Schoolwork, getting up in the morning, those are late.  :)

Today is my Grandpa's Birthday!!!!!!  :D  Happy Birthday Grandpa!!!!!!!!!  :D 

Oh yeah, last night was our family dinner party, and it was SO fun!!  :D  Chibi*Chick and Nutmeg and I were CRAZY.  Chibi must have put extra sugar in the cake, because we were sent outside to get our energy out.  It was really fun.  Then Chibi jumped out in the dark at me and scared the living daylights out of me.  I was so mad at her.  :P  Chibi*Chick and I are planning a one day summer camp, *Amaranthine will like:*  Camp Half-Blood.  :)  We're going to have all kinds of events and games that happen in Percy Jackson.  ;)  I'm inviting my few friends who like it, and we'll spend the day playing and hanging out PJatO style.  ;)  SO FUN!  We're already coming up with great ideas. 

I watched Johnny Tremain for the 8th time last night, and I still LOVE that movie!!!!  :D  I fell half asleep during the battle scenes, which I'm still not sure how I did.  *rolls eyes*  Then I couldn't get BACK to sleep, so I wrote for an hour instead.  :P

Okay, sorry for being gone for a while, I'm going to check Lakehouse now. :)

Love,
Jedi~Chick <3
