May the Fourth be with You!

Happy Star Wars day everyone!!!!! :D Today is the 4th of May...ironic Star Wars pun....May the Fourth be with you!!

Today's been a kind of crazy day for me...I woke up really early (OK, not THAT early but for homeschooler-me it was incredibly early and I was not pleased.) and went to take my SAT tests.  They went really well, the Force (and Fourth) was with me!!! :D

After that my family went to go celebrate Free Comic book day today by hitting up all the comic stores nearby and getting some (you guessed it) free comics!!!! I got to see some friends and had a great time! :)

I'm really excited this May the Fourth because I'm feeling pretty excited about some Star Wars related things. I realized a few weeks back how much I REAAAAAAAALLLLLYYYYY love Star Wars. I rewatched A New Hope and realized that WOW. I have dedicated my life to a movie series!! It's a beautiful, crazy, obsessive series and there's nothing that makes me happier. ;)

I've met my friends because of Star Wars.  And it hit me the other day how big of an impact I've made in the lives of others. It made me cry. A lot. In public. Because look at this....

We're in the Star Wars Insider.

About December of last year, sometime after Christmas I believe, my dear friend Lillian Skye emailed me and asked if I wanted to help her submit an article to the Star Wars Insider's Bantah Tracks about The Lakehouse Forum Sisters at Celebration VI.  I immediately said yes, and we got to writing up an article and picking pictures.  We sent it in and got an email back from Mary Franklin saying how much she liked our story and she'd be publishing it soon!!  Soon in the Magazine world ended up being about five months later, but that's okay. We're featured in the May/June issue of the international magazine, Star Wars Insider. This is like a HUGE honor. Our pictures and my name (as well as Amaranthine's) is in the magazine!!!!! I'm amazed and so excited!!! I saw it in the middle of the comic book store and shrieked and started blubbering because MY FRIENDS!!!!! :D The article is lovely, and it honestly made me feel amazing that I helped bring these girls together!!! Ashley Eckstein's Her Universe was the starting point and I helped bridge the friendships together. :) My own included! It's incredible what God can do with a lonely teenager obsessed with a movie series. ;) 

So happy Star Wars day. Happy Movie Series That Made My Life The Way It Is day. Hope it's a great one. ;)

Love,

Grace/Jedi~Chick/Fallon ;)

Currently

Currently Listening:  I've been listening to two different bands lately. Imagine Dragons is one, and Fun. is the other. I really love these two songs particularly, as I've been singing them OBSESSIVELY lately.

Currently Reading:  Not enough. :P I've been rereading the X-Wing series because I LOVE IT SO MUCH and I haven't gotten past Krytos Trap so I'm kinda being a loser there.  Other than that, I just finished reading the update of my good friend Pink's Ahsoka and Anakin FRIENDSHIP story that made me freak out and I highly recommend it: Once a Jedi

Currently Drinking:  Water? I lost my water bottle...I had one that I bought at dance last week and I've been reusing it.  Know what my favorite beverage is right now? Watermelon Juice Cocktail. Don't scoff, it's delicious.

Currently Missing:  Just about all my friends :(  Especially Autumn. It's hitting me that it's been almost a year since I've seen her and I really really really hope that we get to see each other this summer. I miss Savanna too, but I'm really counting down the days until Star Wars Weekends where I'll spend the weekend with her and Stephanie. I miss everyone!!! D:

me and audy D:

Currently Watching:  Doctor Who. Or rather, reruns of Doctor Who. Glory's watching it in the family room while I sit in my room and become a hermit.  I also watched the premiere of Warehouse 13 last night and CAN I JUST SAY THAT I REALLY REALLY REALLY LOVE THAT SHOW AND I WANT EVERYONE TO EXPERIENCE THE AMAZINGNESS THAT IS WAREHOUSE 13 BECAUSE I LOVE IT AND REALLY CANNOT EVEN.

Currently Feeling:  I feel kinda flighty. I've been doing geometry all day long and it's been rainy and blah outside and I JUST WANT TO RUN AROUND OUTSIDE OR SOMETHING OR GO TO A STORE OR DO SOMETHING I CAN'T FOCUS ON ANYTHING RAAWWRR. I'm going crazy!! I've been slap-happy like three times today just from being stir crazy I guess. XD

Currently Writing:  An AU fanfic for my Star Wars AU: ORPAS (Of Rebel Pilots And Starfighters).  I published a very squealy girly cute oneshot I wrote on our ORPAS website if you'd like to see it. The AU story I"m writing is slightly (*COUGH way) more feelsy. XDD Everything goes pretty much downhill for the Klivians after that story. I gave them their one happy moment at least. ORPAS site

Currently Loving:  My red converse, dance, Doctor Who, Avengers, the Star Wars Insider that TLF was featured in (Bantha Tracks!!! EEEEPPP) being a grown up, my cousin Embie, being finished with Math, Lindsey Stirling, Imagine Dragons, the new Her Universe merchandise, and The Clone Wars.

me and Embie over the weekend. No, I'm not driving, just sitting up front XD

Currently Wishing:  That Star Wars Weekends would hurry up and get here!!!! Also that I could see Autumn this summer and possibly get a new cell phone, depending on how much money I save up.  In that case, I wish for more babysitting jobs too!!

Currently Excited:  For Star Wars Weekends. Repetitive much? I'm also REALLY REALLY REALLY excited for Iron Man 3 which comes out this Friday but I'll be seeing it on Sunday!! I'M SO EXCITED MY PEPPERONY FEELS AHHHHH

Currently Stressing:  About the SAT test I'm taking on Saturday (though I think I'll be okay, plus I can repeat the test up to 4 times), my orchestra audition results (won't find out until the end of May! :O) my end of the year orchestra concert that conflicts with my dance dress rehearsal and a bunch of other things that I need to make decisions on. :/

Currently Completed:  This blog post, and also Geometry for the year. Well, I will have (but I haven't yet! Haha River Song quote BOOYAH).  Tomorrow I'll be finishing the last two units of math and take the final, making me officially FINISHED with Geometry for this year!!!!!! THANK GOD.  GOOD RIDDANCE.

Thanks for reading, I have like 5 or 6 blog posts in drafts that I just haven't been pushing myself to finish. :P I'm sorry!!! Will do SOON. Until then, go look at my Tumblr. http://authoressviolist.tumblr.com/

Love,
Grace

Happy Birthday Mom!!

*last birthday post for a while XD*

Hello Sweetie!  Today is my mom's birthday.  Happy birthday, Mom!!

Many of you might know my mom as River Song or Princess Leia from past posts...she is most definitely both.  Wibbly Wobbly, Timey Wimey.

Today we plan on spending time together as a family, we went to work out at the gym (one of her favorite places) and eat lunch at one of Mom's favorite restaurants and tomorrow she and my dad are walking a 5k marathon together and after that we settle in for some Doctor Who! ;) 

LOL Christmas

My mom means everything to me.  Though we /occasionally/ fight or disagree, I love her more than anyone and her opinion is the only one that really matters to me.  I don't necessarily mind what others think of me, or say about me, but my mom's opinion is like crucial to my existence. xD

She's more than just my Mommy, Mom/River is my life-coach, teacher, encourager (even when it feels like nagging) and fellow fangirl.  Though she claims that I don't understand her "feels" (oh the sweet irony) I in fact very much do, and love to talk with her about Doctor Who and Star Wars and everything else that makes our family so uniquely geeky. 

Happy Birthday Mommy!! You already received your gift of my school work, completed ahead of time and my renewed love and inspiration for viola.  I hope that you have a great birthday, I know our Doctor Who premiere night will be fun, and (even though you're scared) I know we'll love it. :)

Hello Benjamin

Mom, you're always there for me, even when I don't want you to be.  This is random, but when you were calming me down when I was panicking over school and SAT tests and geometry last week, you made me feel so amazing, and helped me realize that I'm only learning and that you really are flexible and willing to work with me and not against me.  Not sure why that hit me then, I think I just really needed to hear that from /you/ (since Autumn already told me "chill out it's just school" like seven times the previous night, haha).  So thank you.  Thank you for dedicating your life to teaching me and my sister, thank you for putting yourself on hold for us.  I hope that someday I can become a mom just like you (with slightly less yelling….maybe.)

Here's to celebrating another trip around the sun, Mom. :)  Love you!!! 

Love,

Gracie

P.S. Spoilers!

Happy Birthday Autumn

(sorry for all the birthday posts, but March is apparently a very busy month for birthdays!! Two of my best friends and my mom have a birthday this month, and both of my grandparents!! LOL)

So today is my bestie/bby Autumn's birthday. :) She's (OLD) 17 AND ALL GROWN UP *SOBS*

Autumn, I think it's clear that it'd be hard to say how much I really really really love you and how close our relationship is.

*ow feels*

Even though I've only known you for like 2 years, you and I talk literally every day and we're closer than friends (WE'RE SOULMATES LOLOL).

So I can't really talk about how much you mean to me, because I'll get all teary eyed and start getting all sappy and crying and I'll just save that for Skype. XD  Instead I'll put some videos. >:D

T.T 

THESE VIDEOS ARE GIVING ME MAJOR FEELINGS. :'D I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AUDYYYY. *HUGGLES*

Seeing those songs pretty much sum up our friendship....I'll end that there and rant about how much I love you on Skype. ;)  Happy Birthday bby, hope it's a great one. Here's to many more together!! :D

Love,

Gracie 

 

Happy Birthday, Ashley-Tara!

Today is my best friend and sister Ashley-Tara's birthday! :) Happy birthday, sissie!!! I love you to death!!!  I don't know what I'd do without you. ;) ♥

I hope you have the most fantastic birthday dearest sister, I love you!!!!!

Definitely one of the best days of my life was getting to meet you in person, and seeing Avengers together!!! :) That was so much fun, I can't wait to see you again, hopefully someday soon!

Ashley and I are writing partners, I tell her all my ideas and show her my writing, and she does the same with me. We write fanfic together, especially our favorite Star Wars AU we've created with our good friend Elizabeth, called ORPAS (Of Rebel Pilots And Starfighters).

Our friendship is a lot like that of our characters, Fallon and Tara. ;) And I hope it stays that way forever!! ♥

Seeing I don't want to get all sappy (I can save that for Skype), Ashley, I love you so much, I'm so blessed to call you my best friend, and thank you for all the fun times.  Happy birthday, girl.  Happy SWEET SIXTEEN OMGSH *FLINE*. ;) 

*SOBBING TACKLE HUGS*  ♥♥♥♥♥♥

Love forever,
Gracie ♥
