I Love The Holidays

Can you believe that the Holidays are already upon us?  O.O

I am taking a break from my hectic, slightly unproductive NaNoWriMo writing experience...to write this lovely post for you all.  ;)

My Holiday season has already begun.  We are decorating, playing the music, singing the songs, watching the movies, and doing everything else in preparation for Christmas.  :)

I am watching Elf right now.  <3  

My family has a lot of great traditions that I am excited for.  They are all coming up so soon!!!!!  :D  I'm so happy!!!

On Wednesday, Nutmeg, Chibi and I are going to volunteer with a friend of my dad's, at his work, who is ironically called "Turkey Lips".  ;)  Mrs. Turkey Lips does an annual volunteer project where a bunch of us get together to decorate boxes for our city's Thanksgiving food drive.  :)  We tape on pictures and info pages, and then at the end of the day we count the total number of boxes.  ;)  Chibi, Nutmeg and I have been doing this for at least four or five years now.  It's a tradition! :D  

We also do the Christmas Gift Bags for the senior center with Mrs. Kim and deliver them with Mrs. Cindy (both co-workers/friends of my dad's).  We're also going to do cards for the military this year, and 'Shop with A City Employee'.  Shop with a City Employee is when we go to our local Wal-Mart, and Wal-Mart gives money for under privileged kids to shop for Christmas gifts.  :)  Then we have a little holiday party, with cake, juice, candy canes and other fun things.  :)  

I am very excited for these things!!!  :D  

By next week I'm sure our Christmas tree will be up.  :)  

My dad and I went Thanksgiving shopping yesterday, and I officially LOVE Thanksgiving.  ;)  We have traditions for that too.  ;)  

My dad takes the day before Thanksgiving off of work, so he can come home and cook.  ;)  We bake, cook, and bake some more into the early hours of the morning, while occasionally getting groceries that are needed from the stores, and watching Christmas shows on ABC Family's Countdown to 25 days of Christmas.  ;)  

On the day of Thanksgiving, we cook the Turkey and make the potatoes, and a bunch of other food too.  We also clean and set the table, since we have around 9 people at our house for the holiday each year.  ;)  My great grandpa's friend Mr. Arnie has become one of the family and joins us for Thanksgiving.  :D  

My sister, mom, dad and I watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade while cooking/cleaning/getting ready for hosting the holiday, and then we watch the dog show afterwards.  ;)  

Before to long, one of us (by us I mean either my mom or dad) goes to pick up GGP (Great-Grand-Pa), and Arnie, and then my grandparents and Chibi arrive.  ;)  Chibi, Nutmeg and I hang out, talk with the adults and play games, and then get ready for dinner.  ;)  We say our prayers, each girl saying what they're thankful for, and we recite Bible verses too.  ;)  

We eat, we talk, we laugh, we celebrate, and I am so excited for it all.  ;)  Then, before the night is over, we give Chibi early birthday presents, while everyone is together, and take turns playing our respective instruments, playing Christmas carols and having an all around good time.  ;)  

*happy sigh*  I can't wait! :D

Christmas is a whole 'nother set of Traditions for another post though......;)  I'll give a three word preview:  Cookies, Celebrating, Lights.  ;)  

Love you all, have a blessed Thanksgiving if I don't talk to y'all.....I'll be writing my life away with NaNoWriMo.....

In the mean time, you can find me on Twitter @FallonSkywalker, and I'll be around Gmail as well.  ;)  

*hugs*  

Han is the Man: A Guest Post By Savanna

Hey everyone!! My name is Savanna, you may know me as Cad Bane's chick from Pandas, Lightsabers and Cameras, oh my!! Jedi~Chick asked me to do a couple guest posts while she's working on her NaNoWriMo novel.

If you are a Lakehouse girl, you'll know that I definitely prefer Han Solo over Luke Skywalker. I've titled myself a "Hangirl" (Han + fangirl). I think that Jedi~Chick posts too much about Luke's awesomeness on here so, I'm going to write about Han Solo in this very epic post. Also, be prepared for tons of Han pictures.

First off, we must address Han's hotness. C'mon people, let's face the fact that Harrison Ford was pretty good looking in his younger years. I'm not going to elaborate on this, you get the point. I also love how his hair is always perfect with his shirt tucked in, while still being a scoundrel. That gun holster is completely rad too. Not to mention, he doesn't look too bad when encased in carbonite either. Han's smirks, sarcasm, and witty comments are all included in "hotness". 

The scene in The Empire Strikes Back is also a fangirl favorite. Plus, you don't even have to be a Hangirl to love it. Yes, you know which scene I'm talking about- "I love you.""I know." Ahhhh!! My heart melts just thinking about it. When you think about it, he instantly wins the battle over Luke in the "romance" category. I mean, at least Han didn't smooch with his own sister. Ewwww!! In my book, Han and Leia are officially the cutest couple ever.

Secondly, he's captain of the Millennium Falcon. Excuse me? Never heard of her?! Shut up. It made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. 

Thirdly, let's address his best friends- Chewbacca and Lando. Everyone can admit that Chewie is overly adorable, even though we can't understand a word he says. His weird roaring noises and walking carpet appearance are the epitome of cuteness. Then there's Lando...pretty much the coolest guy in the galaxy. He's got a rad mustache, nice grin, and a cape!! Anyone with a cape is automatically freaking awesome (I mean, just look at Darth Vader). Both Chewie and Lando compliment Han's perfectness and round him off as a pretty cool guy. 

In conclusion, Luke is pretty much a whiny/wimpy farmboy with a stupid haircut and hot sister. He's not terrible but definitely doesn't match up to the one and only, Han Solo. 

**Savanna, you Luke HATER, you are dead to me.  JK, love you and thanks for doing this post (despite that previous comment)**

Oh, and I don't care what the special edition says...Han shot first. Don't you ever forget that. 

P.S. Fallon's mom- As a fellow Hangirl, I hope you read this. *wink*

Okay, Thank you SO MUCH Savanna for doing this post for me!!!!!  *hugs*  I'm forever grateful and everyone who follows my blog should follow Savanna's, since she has a WAY COOLER and WAY MORE PROFESSIONAL blog than mine!  ;)  Seriously, she deserves the followers!  ;)  

Love you!!!

-Jedi~Chick, who is lost in NaNoWriMo land, but will be writing a post on the Holiday svery soon.  ;)  

Of X-Wings, Christmas Movies and Fangirl Moments...

Oh my Force, where has the week gone??  I've been doing everything from school, to writing for NaNo, to watching Christmas Movies to begin my training as an X-Wing pilot.  :)

......What?

Oh!  You're confused by that last part of that sentence, aren't you?  Well.....allow me to explain.  But first....

My NaNoWriMo novel is going interesting.

A Really Bad piece of Cover-Art that I made in Paint. xD

I'm excited about it, I've got a bajillion ideas going, but getting them onto paper (err...Word Document....) is SO HARD.  I am determined to get to 10k by tonight. I've got a ton of candy, a mini DVD player, and a clean bedroom.  ;)

Next part....allow me to fangirl over my new favorite movie......It's A Wonderful Life.  I've watched this movie EVERY YEAR ever since I was born, essentially, but until now, I've never really paid attention to it!  ;)  Now though, I see how ADORABLE it is!!!  How romantic, how family oriented, and just over all sweet and wholesome!  ;)

LOVE. THIS. SCENE. 

And this one!!!

Almost as much as I love this one.

And of course this one. 

Okay.  Enough fangirling about the best Christmas movie in existence.  ;)  My dog is named Bailey, after George Bailey.  ;)  Hehe!!!  :D  I seriously love the name ZuZu now.  ;)  "Every time a bell rings, and angel gets his wings. :D"  xD

Okie Dokie.  ;)  Time for the X-Wing part of this post.  ;) My mother is incredibly awesome.  Seriously.  She ROCKS!!!  If we do school everyday like we did today, I would be the happiest girl on earth.  ;)

Usually, the prospect of math makes me like this:

But today....thanks to my mother......

You see.....I was working on graphing.  I have serious troubles with graphing....including somehow mixing up my coordinates and getting them from up and down like they belong to on the side, for some unknown reason.  My mom has been trying (in vain) to get me to understand math.  She would sit with me, read to me, do the problems with me, watch me do the problems, and even walk me step by step through the thing.  But NOTHING worked.  Somehow we kept ending up like that cat in the picture above, and then the little defeated face guy below.  xDD

But today...that all changed.  :)  I had a /partially/ open mind to begin with, and then my mom made my world light up with epicness.  ;)
She handed me my Star Wars atlas and looked at me (sitting in my dad's recliner in our school/family room) and said:
"Now, if you're on a mission for the New Republic, and you have to fly from Coruscant to Corellia on a supply run, what coordinate would you need to plot to make it there, soldier?"
My face was the equivalent of this:

She then treated me like a recruit for the famous Rogue Squadron, teaching me and helping me plot points on the galactic chart of the universe, with all our favorite planets.  ;)  I started crying more than once at how COOL it all was!!!!

My mom is SERIOUSLY Princess Leia.  She talked JUST LIKE I imagine New Republic Leia to be, all stoic, brave, inspiring and epic at the same time. ;)  She made me think, while teaching me math, and playing in 'my universe'.  ;)  I'll ace that test and become a pilot in no time!!!

That soooo made my day.  xD  I had a blast.  ;)  I watched It's A Wonderful Life for the 2nd time tonight, and now I'm listening to music, preparing to write about 5,000 words on my story.  (yeah right, try 2,000 tops before I pass out, I'm EXHAUSTED). xD  But hopefully I'll hit 15k by Wednesday, if everything goes according to my just-made-up schedule.....

Alright y'all, love you, write on, it's a wonderful life, and May the Force be with you all.

Future X-Wing Pilot, Fallon Sunstar.

P.S. NYAN CAT ROCKS!!!!

Word Wars, Halloween Update and Christmas....OH MY!

What a wordy title, huh?  

Well....Halloween was epic.  I got more candy than ever before and am going to have rotten teeth and fat thighs if this chocolate-must-eat-more phase keeps up.  :P

That was after we organized and began the 'great candy trade' at my grandma's house.

I dressed up as Mara Jade, my sister was Rapunzel, and Chibi was a Pirate. ;)

Semi-Cute picture of me with meh candeh...
 

Nutmeg....er.....Rapunzel STUFFING HER FACE...

ignore the bag, it makes my leg look weird.  xD

yes...i know....she's ADORABLE.  ;)

My awesomesauce trick-or-treating bag!!!  :D
                                               

It was a very good Halloween.  Wanna know the best part?  

Well, Chibi and Nutmeg decided to go into the dreaded (by me) Haunted House.  While they were in there, the smart (cunning/evil) people who lived in the house had kids dressed all in black with the full face (can't see anything at all) masks, prowling the nearby houses.  So when my mom and I waited for my cousin and sister, (and dad), this kid who was slightly taller than me came up and pretty much got all up in my face, staring me down.  xD  I was like "Oh..um....Hi?"  XD

Chibi was trying to tell me something, and then she kinda got annoyed with the guy, so she came up behind him and pulled off his mask, completely ruining the effect.  XDDD  We all laughed SO KRIFFING HARD.  XDD  It was epic.  ;)  Highlight of my night actually.  

And she said to us later, "HE WAS UNMASKED BY THE LEGENDARY EMBER SPARKSTONE!!!!"  ;)  Tis true, he was quite defeated by her.  ;)  It was AWESOME.  XDD

Anyways, Word Wars....that was fun.  ;)  Amaranthine and I had a Word War this morning.  We took a half an hour and wrote as much as we could in that time, and then stopped at the same time.  ;)  I wrote 1,298 words!  :D  

I now have 4,300 words, and it's only my first day of NaNo!!!  I'm going to write some more very soon....write after this blog post.  ;) 

This will be my last post for a while....seeing that I am going to be quite busy with writing, and school too!  :)  

Cad Bane's Chick has agreed to guest post for me once or twice, and my mom is writing another guest post too!!! :)   I'll also post when it gets to be Thanksgiving time, since it's my favorite time of the year.  xD

What about Christmas you ask?  Well, it's the day after Halloween and my family has already started to crack out the Christmas stuff.  ;)  Halloween/Fall is going away, and Christmas/Winter is coming out.  Christmas music is being played, and lists are being written.  ;)  

Alright y'all!!  Have awesome weeks!!  I'll be checking in every so often on Blogger!!!  Fellow Wrimos, write on and have fun!! 

God Bless you all!!!
