Pictures and Inspirations. Picturations (ooooh new word ooooh)
That's some NaNo inspiration. My MC and her love interest. Heh. Heh. Heh. No comment on that bottom picture. XD
me and my mommy *mwah*
A couple of weeks ago, we went to a park. Embie took pictures of me and Glory on the little springy rides. I didn't realize she caught this one....we laughed so hard we were crying. XD My face, is priceless. I'm so hardcore. *rock on*
My mother is most definitely River Song. ;)
Cute huh?
See Mom, that's the picture I was telling you about. XD
:3
Me and Autumn, IN COLOR. XD I think I love this chickie a bit too much. ;)
See, you can tell the depths of our affections in this one. XD That was from a KIK messenger convo we had once, me and Autumn. To say we have a /special/ relationship is putting it mildly. XD
This photo never fails to make me giggle. XD
MY SHIIIIPPPPP *SCREECH*
Thank you Steve Rogers for making my life complete. xoxo

....in which I thank the Lord for Photoshop :D *spaz flail*
Thank you Lestrade. I know. XD
ahahha *flail*
oh em gee.
You get it?
So accurate it hurts. XD
Never a truer statement. XD
Hey Autumn, look! XD
Pretty much.
Alright, enough procrastinating. :) All these images can be found on my Pinterest boards. http://pinterest.com/EvansStar/
A few of the pictures are mine...from Instagram. :)
Enjoy all the Picturations!!! I'm off to write for NaNo and do some school work. :P
Why not, I'll do a little update. I've got a few things to actually talk about, and not procrastinating things. XD
NaNoWriMo is coming along okay...I really need to keep writing. XD I started editing a different story for something and got distracted...hopefully I'll take all day tomorrow to write and focus on my NaNo story. I can do this!!! :D
Now...the title of this post. Skyfall. Anyone familiar with the James Bond movies? I've gotta admit that I'm definitely a Bond Girl now, as my mother told me. XD My brain has been full of 007/MI6/British Intelligence stuff all day. :D
Last night, my dad and I met up with a family friend (and his sons) and we saw the new James Bond film, Skyfall.
It. Was. Awesome. Seriously, absolutely amazing. I don't know the other Bond films, I haven't seen them (yet!) and I LOVED that movie. It was fantastic. The kid next to me hogging the arm rest, the rude teenage girls in front of me talking through the whole movie and the girl on her phone behind me couldn't ruin it. :D Too awesome.
The trailers were awesome by the way, I must say. They played a Les Mis featurette and I was like flailing and dying all over the place. Saw Emma Stone and Jamie Alexander in upcoming movies and got very excited, and my favorite preview was when they played the Iron Man 3 trailer. XD
Oh man. I SCREAMED, and then was flailing and freaking out so bad I hit the guy next to me. XD I'm glad I knew who he was at least, so it wasn't terribly awkward (he's one of the sons of family friend guy XD)
Twas hilarious. And, for the record, I did apologize.
And, the IM3 Trailer looked so gorgeous on the big screen I could not even.
Now, Skyfall.
For someone who doesn't know much about James Bond, I thought it was REALLY well done. The characters were awesome, well written and very fun to watch. I automatically liked (LOVED) James Bond himself, and found I liked Eve Monipenny, though I didn't even know her name until the end of the movie! XD
She was really kick butt and awesome. ;D
My three favorite things about Skyfall:
1. The Accents.
HELLOOOO BRITISH!!!! I love British things already, so this was just awesome. I feel like I'm an official pretend-Brit now, having 007 under my belt, along with Sherlock and Doctor Who. XD
2. Tug-At-Your-Heartstings Moments.
I won't go into detail because I don't want to spoil for anyone who hasn't seen it yet and wants to...but there were a few heartstring tugging moments in there. I teared up towards the end, I had shock and confusion all over my face in teh beginning, and then a few times in the middle of the movie I had to go "AWWW" and like grabbed at my heart. XD Good stuff, good writing.
3. The Soundtrack.
Oh good GOD THAT WAS GORGEOUS. I was marveling over the soundtrack constantly. I want it NOOOWWWW. I think I shall beg my father to take me to Wal-Mart tomorrow to see if they have it, because I really really really really really want to get it. XD
Warnings:
1. Language.
It actually didn't bother me too much...but I could see where it would bother some. There was a bit of language in the film, though it's nothing super bad, I don't think.
2. More 'sexy' things.
There was a bit of suggestive material several times in the movie. XD I didn't mind it, since there was nothing too explicit, but it is in there.
Can I just say....James Bond is HOT. Even if he's old. XD He's really really hot. I MEAN LOOK AT HIM.
yeah. very nice to look at for almost 3 hours. xD
I've gotta share at least this song, because it's been in my head all day for one, and two, it's just AWESOME!! :D
Love Adele, love this song. *presses play for the billionth time*
So yeah, I'm a Bond girl now. ;) I can't wait to see the other James Bond movies....I'm really excited to see them now!! :D Thank you Daddy for taking me with you on guys-night-out to go see Skyfall, it was so awesome I'm still having issues comprehending it. ;D
I highly recommend this movie!!!!
Oh, and for the record, all of you action lovers, there was TONS of it. The fight scenes were SO COOL. And there were a lot of explosions too. ;) *cough SAVANNA cough*
Pitiful post, I know, but it's like 1:30 and I'm tired. XD I'm rambling, aren't I? ...yeah, I know. Sorry.
Hello all!!!
Consider this post a I'm-procrastinating-in-NaNoWriMo-and-a-school-essay post. ;)
I just wanted to pop onto mah little ol' blog and say hai. ;) It's been a week worth of NaNo-ing. I'm about to hit 10k words, and I don't even feel like I've scratched the surface of this story yet, so I guess that's a good thing.
So I found out today that Instagram has this lovely new thing called a "Web Profile" :D I've been playing with mine all day. XD
If you would like to stalk me on Instagram, but don't have an account, feel free. :) I'd love for you to see all the craziness I post. XD http://instagram.com/marileesunstar
Anyway, while going through my Instagram, I discovered that it's documenting my year in pictures. XD I started posting in late January. I've been taking pictures and updating almost every day since then. XD I have over 1500 pictures. ;) I've just gone through all of them on that site....I've had a great year. This year is starting to come to a close...believe it or not. The Holidays are on their way.
Well how awesome, my summer especially, has been the best ever. I have pictures to document for all of it. I've met more than a dozen of my internet friends, multiple times in some cases. I've gone to Star Wars Weekends and Celebration. I've visited the Keys, I've spent time with Family. :D It's been great!!!! I'm looking forward to more. :)
BTW I promised Halloween info....so feel free to click on that Instagram link and look at my Halloween pictures. XD My mom was River Song, my dad was The Doctor and Embie and I were both The TARDIS. :) My sister was Merida from Disney Pixar's Brave. ;)
You know what. I think I'm gonna do a picture post. XD I'll work on that next, while I'm procrastinating XD I love pictures, and I want to get into a writery mood. So picture post it is. I'll fill it with both pics I've taken, and stuff from Pinterest. XD
Alright all, thanks for reading!!! May the Force be with you, and count your blessings. ;) Today looking at all those pictures has reminded me to be grateful for every day, because every day is a gift. :)
So I decided to go for it. 50,000 words, 30 days, 1 girl. Can I do it? I've done it two years in the past....so why not?
See? Two awards. Two years. :D
Time to add another one to my belt....2012. :) YAY!!
(i don't think I can keep calm...)
Yes Avengers, I know. XD
Okay so you may be thinking "Hey Grace, how are you possibly going to write an entire novel on top of doing schoolwork and practicing viola and prepping for the holidays and everything?!"
Well I'll tell you random citizen.
First of all, I've already promised mom that school comes 100% first, as well as viola. The holidays won't take /too/ much writing time away, especially if I get ahead of schedule. XD
So yup, school comes first, buuuuuut I'm already kinda-sorta-behind so NaNo will mostly be done at night I believe. Oh well. I shall work around it.
Point being, I know that I can do this, thus I'm challenging myself to go above and beyond my call of duty here and get school, viola, and NaNo done all in the month of November. :D
Well, the Doctor is right. I should be writing. So encouragement would be helpful as would affirmation that I am completely insane. ;)
I know I /just/ did a post, but this deserves an announcement, yes?
My amazing daughter/best friend/sister/lady/person Autumn made me this AMAZING BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS PURPLE blog redesign and I am SOOOOOO GRATEFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Audy dearest, you are amazing. I don't know what I did to deserve you sweetie. ;)
All I did was complain that my blog looked too childhish compared to all my fancy friends and Autumn was like "oh I can help" Thanks Audy, it looks gorgeous.
So major hugs to you Autumn dearie, I love you to pieces!!!!!! <3 p="p">Mwah mwah mwah!!!!!! :D
Be sure to check out my pages which have been revamped, my new sidebar, and all the lovliness of the design. ;D
YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS.........
ANNUAL HALLOWEEN HATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D YAY!!!!!!!!
Ok, I lied.
Yeah, I hate Halloween. A lot. It's my least favorite holiday. I actually don't plan on celebrating it in the future, when I have my own family and stuff.
For now though, I'm gonna shut up and take the candy. xD
This year for Halloween I'm dressing up as the embodiment of Doctor Who. I'm going to wear my Her Universe TARDIS dress, I might buy a Stetson or a Fez, I'll wear a bowtie, and I'll carry (MAYBE *COUGH MOTHER COUGH*) a Sonic Screwdriver. ;D
I have to dress up, you see. First of all, it's a free chance to cosplay AND there's free candy involved. XD
Second, I'm going to Halloweeny events. Orchestra on Monday is hosting a Halloween bash that I have to go to no matter what, plus there's pizza, candy and prizes but only for those who dress up so HAHA PIZZA CANDY AND PRIZES HERE I COME.
And again, CANDY.
So this post shall be about Candy. I expect to be living at the gym for the majority of November, because I'm going to have so much candy laying around and I'll need to get rid of it. XD
hmm. Cannddyyy.
My favorite candies. Let's discuss that, yeah?
Every year my sister, cousin and I do a "candy swap" after trick-or-treating. We dump all our candy on the ground in our cousin's bedroom, sort out into piles the types of candy, and then put candies we don't want up for trading. My sister likes Almond Joys. I hate Almond Joys. But I do like Twizzlers, which she doesn't like. So we switch. XDD It's great fun, a highlight of the evening. Plus that way we're all happy and equal. We've had this process since I was a little girl. xD
^ this is last year's candy swap. note the little baskets, those are our trading posts. XD oh so organized too^
Anyway. Let us discuss le-candy, hmmm?
My favorite candies are Milky Ways. :3 OM NOM NOM.
I don't even know why I like these the best. I think it's because Embie called liking 3 Musketeers more than me. XD
Next I love Kit Kats.
Then again, who doesn't? XD
I also love Twizzlers.
But only the strawberry kind, because I hate Cherries. XP Bleh.
I love anything gummy. Gummy bears, Gummy Spiders, Gummy Worms, Gummy Dinos, Gummy Hamburgers, Gummy fish (SWEDISH FISH), Sour Patch Gummies, Life Saver Gummies, etc. Gummy gummy gummmyyyyyyyy :DDDDD
Yup that's enough candy now. xD
What's all your favorite types of candy? TELL ME! ;D I'd love to know. Do you think I'm weird for hating cherry? XD I really do, I despise them. Everyone at Halloween always gets my cherry flavored things. Even if they're gummies. XD
Now, I've gotta admit. This year, Halloween doesn't phase me at all. I think I've come to the point where I DON'T CARE ANYMORE.
Last year, I was very easily upset by all things Halloween. I got easily scared, didn't want to do anything or go into any stores, couldn't watch TV, couldn't even look at the little Oriental Trader magazine that comes in the mail. ;P
This year, I went to two Halloween stores, watched a Halloween special on TV, listened to the music without totally cringing, looked at catalogues and magazines, went to the party store, mall, and other stores without being afraid or on edge, and I'm actually almost excited this year. XD I don't get that terrified feeling in the pit of my stomach anymore.
Woohoo, I'm 16 and I'm finally over my fear of Halloween. :P Woopdedeedledoo.
No actually, I think I've been really really toughened up. Doctor Who takes a lot of that blame. I'm more afraid of a stone statue than I am of a zombie or a werewolf. XD I'm more afraid of a little kid in a gas mask than I am of the scariest mask at the Halloween store. ;P
Quite honestly, Halloween is degrading and dumb. The costumes for girls are all pathetic and sexy, way too low cut and way too revealing. And all the costumes for guys are either gross (as in DISGUSTING) or gory and equally as gross. :P
The decorations are lame and pointless...
And ugly.
I don't find it fun being scared at all...and I honestly don't know why people do. Anyone...if you like being scared, please enlighten me as to why and how, because I don't understand. XD
Okay, enough hate. XDD I like to think myself a positive person.
So I'll post pictures of my lovely Doctor Who ensemble after the holiday on Wednesday. :) Glory is going to be Merida from Brave btw. She's gonna look gorgeous as always. ;D
Mwah mwah, thank you lovelies for reading.
Happy Halloween!!!
I leave you with a few songs that have been torturing my subconscious thanks to dance class. xD
Yeah I know dances to both of those.
And all the words.
Thank you Dance Studio. XDD
Lots of love!!
Grace :D
P.S. Thank you for all the sweet comments on my last post!! I'm so happy that I was inspiring and left a good impact on you all!!! :3 Hugs!
