Tired

I. Am. Exhausted. Today I exercised, as anyone who follows my blog might already know; I totally wore myself out. I ran 1.51 miles in 25 minutes. Sweat was dripping off my face, but it felt good. The rubbery legs that is, a strangely awesome feeling that is (I wasn't trying to talk like Yoda). Then I did the usual. I did one one minute plank! Oh course I had a break forty seconds in, but that's all I allow. Ah yes, and I did one hundred crunches. One hundred crunches. Those just about killed my stomach. I was planning on going through the entire routine again, but after the crunches I was just ready to be done. Ready to hit the shower. So I did.

Today I hope to write another page or more of True Hero. I have a better idea of where the first quarter/half of the book is going, and it's going to be quite different from my original writings. So I'm not so much editing, as re-writing chapter one. Usually I'd be like, "Darn, I'm going into the loop again. I'm just going to keep editing what I've already wrote and I'll never make any real progress!" But in this case it's very good that I'm editing. The begining of the novel was moving to fast, I've found some pins on Pinterest that really inspired me and have shown me the way. I think I've really found the correct path to follow, although from now on I'm going to do my best to stop editing, unless it's looking for spelling mistakes. They always go right over my head though, because my mind knows what to say, even if I didn't write it that way. Like how in many of my posts I say "was" instead of "saw". Sorry bout that.

What to eat, what to eat. I'm hungry, I haven't eaten since I exercised, so as you might have guessed, I'm hungry. There's no doubt that I'll make a nice, healthy smoothie, but what to have with it? I want an egg sandwich, but that's got carbs. It's got egg too, eggs are good, but it's got carbs. Then there's just veggies with smoothie, but I need more substance. More protein. So maybe the egg sandwich is my best best, but I'll add veggies to keep it all healthy. Maybe egg sandwich with broccoli with smoothie. Yeah, that sounds good... but broccoli leaves a not so pleasant after taste. So instead there's... I have no idea. Salad? Nope, sadly I don't care for salad. I think someone finished off the pea, bacon, broccoli, coli flour, salad thingy. It was so good, tasted like bacon for the most part. Maybe there is some left, if so I'll probably have that. Otherwise I guess I'm stuck with broccoli. We'd better have ranch dip though, it's the only way I like 'em when they're not cooked. Gosh, I need to get over this picky eater thing.

So all my life I've had these bumps on my arms. One thing lead to another and they were bright, red scabs. We tried a few things, and finally we got this... brush, plant, thingy. I honestly have no idea what it is. But I just recently started really using it, really scrubbing it along my arms really hard. Not too hard, but harder than before. Now the redness is starting to leave. My arms look almost normal! Except a few scars. I rubbed it on a scab on my forehead, and now a few days later, it's practically gone. Apparently I wasn't using it right in the past, because it's working now! The bumps are necessarily gone, but the scabs are disarming, and not because they're turning into scars!

It's sunny outside. Sunny. I have mixed feelings about this. One second I'm like, yay! It's like Summer, even though it's still Winter! Then I'm like, WHAT?! Where's the snow?! It's supposed to snow and be cold in winter, not sunny and warm-ish. I haven't gone outside, so the weather might just be teasing us. Sometimes it looks warm, but in actuality it's very cold still. Funny how things do that sometimes, know what I mean?

Pitfall the Unbeatable

So I was on Pinterest (big surprise there) and I saw this... thing. It was a pin of a story starting sentence, it fit rather well with True Hero. So, being the awesome person I am, I pinned it and started writing. It resulted in one and a half pages of my story being written! Now I know what you non-writers are thinking. One page? That's not very much, don't you write like, five or ten pages a day? Minimum? Well my answer to you. No. That's not how it works. You write, and you hope to write a page. Then you celebrate. This is a page, all the paragraphs are large, and I really like my work! It sounds amazing! But wait until dawn tomorrow. That's when disaster strikes. It always sounds amazing until you read it the next day. I mean that in a good way... if you can understand that.

Oh my goodness, Pitfall! That 80's arcade game has gotten the better of me for my entire life. Never once have I beaten it, although I almost did once. I made it to the throne room, the room with the crown. And then! I died. Usually you can review yourself but putting in more quarters (of course I don't pay, we own this game!) but on level four, you cannot review yourself. So I died. In the throne room. It's my life goal to beat this game. To beat Pitfall, the undefeated! Speaking of Pitfall, I want to go play it. I haven't played Mame games in forever. Those games hold a lot of memories. Like totally failing at Joust. That game's hard! Then there's Nibbler. That used to be Tiana's and my favorite game. The music in annoyingly catchy. The old Mario game! I'm so horrible at it. Then the Ski game. Tiana used to be really good at that, although I'm not sure if she ever made it past the Yeti. I couldn't even get to the yeti!

I think I'm really starting to like the song A Thousand Years by... well, I have no idea who did that song. But it's pretty. I'm trying to decide... is it a cello or violin... I'm guessing it's a cello accompanying the piano. There's something else... I have no idea what it is. Okay wait, maybe it's a cello and a violin. Yeah, that's... probably it. I suppose. I'm a fan of cello's. Just thought I'd get that out there.

That's it, I think I might just go and play Pitfall. That game... haha, that game. I love it.

Bored

Hello. I'm posting. Yipe. I have nothing to say. Nothing. This is a strange day. Because I have nothing to say. Oh wait, yes I do! I exercised today and it's the first day that I didn't beat my record. Just didn't have enough energy. But I did beat my planking record again. It was hard and I sorta fell on my face when I released myself from the pain. Good pain, but pain all the same. Another think I did, I worked on True Hero a little. Barely. Although I've been thinking about what should happen. Right now I have this terrible urge to write perfectly on the first go. Haha, yeah, I've got to get over that. Like, now.

Ah yes, I've been reading Catching Fire! I think I already said that. Yeah... I already said that. Gee, today has been. A bit boring. Mamma hasn't been around, she went to stay with our grandma for the day, she's in the hospital right now. Daddy's in and out, business meetings. Maybe when he comes home we'll play Canasta. But overall I woke up, took care of the chickens, took care of the neighbors cats, exercised, video chatted with a friend, ate food here and there, worked on my story a little, took care of the neighbor cats again. Now I'm writing a blog post. Yeah, that's it. Tomorrow I'm cracking the whip, I'm going to set up a writers cover or something on my bed. I'll get any snacks I need, music for inspiration, and all that jazz. I'll release these crazy expectations I get every so often, and I'll write my heart out. As for now, I'll relax. I might watch How to Train Your Dragon for the first time tonight. Or maybe I'll watch Brave for the second time ever. Well see.

I almost did a book review, but I just didn't feel like it. Then I pondered weather I should write a post on MAE History, but I wasn't exactly sure what. Then I thought, learn about royal etiquette. But that requires research and time. Again, I didn't feel like it. Ooo, maybe instead of a writers cover I should make a researchers cove! Or both. But I could set it up, get everything I need, and just research royals. I've been thinking about learning about more than just royals. Maybe people like Amy Carmichael or Corrie Ten Boom. I like their history, so maybe I should look into them. Or work on learning Ogham. Or work on Magix. I haven't been doing that lately, but maybe I will tomorrow. I just feel like I need a fresh day to start, right now I don't feel like doing much anything.

I have, Life's Too Short, stuck in my head. Anna: That is the door you'd like to slam in my face! You did well there for a spell but now your back in the same place. You can think do whatever you want, but I'm the only one who's, not one hundred percent concinced the profacys you! Elsa: You can think whatever you want, but I don't care! Your a fool who married a stranger - Anna: That is so unfair! Together: I swear! I through with taking your un-shaking sisterly support!

Yeah. Just remembering the lyrics. Well, I'm outta here.

The Girl on Fire

Shopping. That's what I did today. Trader Joe's, Costco and... well, that's it. Wait! I think we went somewhere else... where was it, ah yes! The post office and the library. I got Catching Fire, so well see how quickly I'm able to read this book. It was on a day, similar to this, that I got Divergent and read almost half the book. I don't think I'll be reading that much of Catching Fire today. On second thought, I might. It's smaller than Divergent. Much smaller.

So I've been really planning True Hero in my head. I've got plans, large plans, to extremely change it. When I was on Pinterest recently I saw a pin, and it just dawned on me. I know what needed to happen, with such clarity. Yet I'm still having a tad bit of writers block. It's hard getting out of the prison, there's, how to to day it? Booby traps. That's the best word for it. You think you have it, everything you need, the door swings open, but there's a catch. In other words there's another locked door. Well it's a prison, what do you expect? One locked door between prisoner and freedom? I don't think so. Even so, I'm on the brink of a writer river! Meaning I might be doing some crazy writing soon. Well see.

Yesterday I had a pile of things on my bed, papers, notebook, arrows, pen, my bow. Then Kokopelli, my cat, decided it would be an incredible spot to lay on. Yes, he laid right on top of everything, then started doing one of his favorite hobbies. Shredding paper. Sometimes he'll just lay on paper and tear it to shreds. Luckily I stopped him, crazy cat. Think's he owns the world. Actually there's this pin that perfectly describes cat's behavior...

Okay so I took a little break and started reading Catching Fire while getting food. It's pretty good so far, and I'm only on the third chapter. Katniss is the cause of uprisings. Yeah, I already knew that. Although I know way less about this book, compared to The Hunger Games. Then when it comes to Mockingjay, I know nothing. Well, next to nothing. It's not officially set, but we might watch The Hunger Games tonight. It depends, because this is Sereina's first say off, her next one is on Saturday. So maybe today, maybe Saturday. Well see. Right now it's just a possibility. I want to continue reading now. But I should work on True Hero. Maybe I'll read while I eat, and then work on True Hero. Well see how that goes...

So I changed the favicon for my blog days ago, and it's still the same! What on earth is up with that? The favicon for the Archives has changed, so it's kind of weird. Oh yes, did I mention that I reviewed The Hunger Games and... some other book that I, oh yes. I remember now. Riding Freedom. I think I did mention it. I need to review the Waggit trilogy. I love those books! I just saw them and I actually read the last book first, now knowing it was a trilogy. But it's about a dog named Waggit. That's all I'll say, you need to read the books. But they're really good!

I'm going to read Catching Fire. Until tomorrow. Or the next time I post. Which will probably be tomorrow.

This and That

I'm trying to decide... is the strings instrument in Noble Maiden Fair a violin, or cello? I mean violin seems the obvious, but whenever I hear a violin it always seems to be a much high pitch. But at the same time whenever I hear cello's they are a very low pitch. And I seriously doubt it's a guitar. Oh, a mandolin? Or something like a mandolin maybe.

So one of the light bulbs in Daniel's and my room has been out for a long time. Like so long I don't even remember when it went out. Now that we replaced it I feel like I'm in the spotlight. On a stage about to preform. In a different world. Funny how much of a different a light bulb can make. Yet it makes total sense, so it goes both says I suppose.

Something horridly wonderful has occurred. I might write a fan fiction. The bad part is, I've got to many other stories to write, how can I add another one!? Well, I suppose I'll just save it for later, but I'll collect idea's.

The song, Sound the Bugle Now, from Spirit, is so sad. But I love that song. So much. Really I love the entire movie. It's the best Dreamworks movie, but let's face it, Dreamworks isn't the best so was there any doubt? Yes, you might have guessed that I'm listening to Sound the Bugle Now, and you're correct. Now I really want to watch Spirit. I love that movie, like I already said. But love doesn't quite capture the feels. Seeing as I'm a writer you'd think I'd be better at this. But I don't feel like heading over to the Thesaurus. This is my online journal for crying out loud.

Oh boy. Now Learn Me Right started playing. So I want to watch Brave. I've only seen that movie once, on my birthday. You know what's funny about that? That was the year that my grandpa got me a compound bow. It's really small, sadly, but good for practice. This summer I'll make it a bigger priority to practice. Other wise I'll only end up shooting it at the pit (there's a banjo in Learn me Right?!). One time I almost lost an arrow into the brush, we searched for the longest time. Then me and my friend decided to shoot an arrow in hopes of recreating what happened and find the arrow. It worked like a dream, the arrow I shot landed about a foot or two away from the lost arrow. That was an epic moment. Gosh, I love going to the pit. It's where we go shooting, and every time we go it's basically tradition to climb the back wall and look over the area. It's just... awesome. I can't wait till Summer. Because I want to go to the pit! Although when I start shooting again I'm going to be a bit rusty. Haven't been able to go to the range for some time.

Speaking of guns, I need to decide what I want to do with my revolver. My dad's friend can cerakote it, at least I think that was it. So it's just a matter of what I want, and what goes with the grips. Let's see, the grips are an off white of some kind. I think they're plastic, bummer. Pearl would be cool, or the bone or wood. Although bone would be what I'd really want. It's be nice to fix the old thing up, there's scratch mars near the grips, from the cylinder release. Someone got careless and let it get scratched up.

Now Live's Too Short, is playing. Although it totally wouldn't have fit into the finished movie I really like the song. You know, I'm pretty sure Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel didn't sing that. The voices are different. Same with a few of the other deleted song.

So today I exercise. Big surprise there. I added quite a few new exercises and yet at the end I felt like I should have repeated them all. Maybe I'll do that on Wednesday, who knows? This time I went 1.37 miles while running. That's pretty darn good if I do say so myself! Although I put the setting back on three. Oh yes! I planked for forty seconds, so I added ten seconds onto my record! Those were the hardest ten seconds of my exercise. Even so, I feel so good exercising on a regular basis. Even though I haven't even been doing it for a month I know I've found my groove. When the weather warms up I'll start running outdoors, around the neighbor hood. I don't want to use the track, the scenery's to repetitive. Ha! See what I did there? No, probably not.

So yes, I mentioned that I was watching the neighbors cats, correct? Well, I still am. Loki's doing good, Sophie... well, Sophie's being Sophie. Still under the bed. It's a wonder she ever comes out! Although she never does when we're around. Although I accidentally scared her out a few days ago. But she was back as soon as she could. She's more anti-social than Doji. That says something, know what I mean?

I know, I still haven't done a vlog yet. Maybe I'll do a non 20 facts about me one. Then again I should just figure out how to adequately edit first. Yeah... that might be a good idea. I can just imagine the vlog, me sitting alone in my room, possibly having soft music playing in the background... on second though, no. Then I'd start dancing and the vlog would turn into a dance party. Maybe I'll edit in music. But what music?

Speaking of music, I was watching a friends movie trailer, and the music. I'm going crazy, what's it from?! It sounds POTC-ish. But I can't quite place the song. I know those songs fairly well, and just... it's going to drive me nut! I need to know! ...Oh wait. I could just ask Morgan. Yeah, that'd be a good way to find out. Because if I don't, I'll go crazy. It's like when your watching a movie and you recognize an actor but can't remember their name or what other movie you'd seen them in. Now I'm thinking about when we watched Oz The Great and Powerful. In the beginning I was like, "Harry? Is that... Harry? Harry Osborn? HARRY!!!" :D Seriously though, they killed Harry in the third movie. That's just, sad. Just when he got really epic too.

Well, I think I'll go write or something. I've been planning True Hero and I realized something very important. See, it's set in Canada, but something I didn't realize is it needed to be in the French part of Canada. So I'm going to have to have people speak French. At least I can get away with keeping the prologue the same. But yes, French. Thank goodness for Google Translate. One time I had a conversation in French over the internet. Someone commented on my pin, so I used Google Translate to respond to them. It was pretty cool for some reason.

I forgot to talk about The Amazing Race last time! Oh well, I don't feel like it now. I may never talk about it for some time. Unless Jet and Cord (the cowboys) win. They're awesome.

The Best Memories

It's Sunday. Need I say more? Do you know what I call Sunday sometimes? Pre-Monday. Because that's exactly what it is. And why, exactly, is everyone obsessed with Friday, and not Saturday? Beats me.

So I was pinning, on Pinterest, when I say someones name. Yeah, I just pinned a pin, then a related board popped up and it had the name Moriah. That's such a unique name, I just had to write it down. So now for The Shadow, one of my story ideas, the main characters name is no longer Elaine, but now she is Moriah. I think the name fits way better. Yeah, just thought I'd share that.

Today I was going through my dad's files on the link station, looking through all the old programs. There are so many old memories in those, I'd even forgot about a few until we found them! But something devastating has arisen, Esheep will no work on Windows 7! This is a disaster! May I say, if I meet someone who knows what that is, I might fall over. Or be as stunned as I was when I met someone who's played The Neverhood. These old little games are one, ancient, and rare. I think. All I know is they have so many memories. Maybe I'll figure out how to record myself and show you guys all the great old stuff I did as a young girl. Having computers all my life makes doing some things easier, but finding a screen capture program? Haha, nope. So I may never be able to do that. We can always hope. Lets see, there was Hot Dog Toss, and an old favorite, Draggable Dan. Then there's Snowball Fight. I'm still really bad at that game, then there's Chips. That doesn't work on Windows 7 either, and I love that game! Then there's maim games. We have so many old arcade games, some day we're going to build our own master arcade machine, with all the games. One game, Pitfall, is so much fun. I made it to the throne room! The end! Then I died. Typical.

I like the music on my blog. Actually I've become slightly obsessed with the music from Brave now. Of course it's all amazing, but I go in and out of obsessions with things. Like one week I'll be writing all day every day, next I'm doing everything Schleich, or I'll just draw for a couple of weeks. So I'm usually immersed in one thing, and right now music and reading is my top priority. I haven't been writing as much, I should do that.

Tomorrow is Monday. Hence me calling today Pre-Monday, but that means I exercise. I was talking with my mom and I'm determined to come up with a full body workout. I mean I get the main area's right now, but I want my entire body to be nice and fit. So yeah, I was to find a chart of the human body or something, then isolate each muscle and an exercise that I'd have to do to strengthen it. Yeah, easier said than done. In the mean time I'll continue with what I do. But I'm turning the elliptical back to setting three. The fourth setting is just to hard if I want to beat my record.

Okay, the song Harriet Jones, Prime Minister, is playing. Now I want to listen to The Amazing Spider-Man soundtrack. It sounds like one of the songs from that soundtrack and I love it! Especially Saving New York, I've mapped out the entire climax of one of my stories in my head to that song. Of course it goes a bit to fast in the song, but they escape the prison, they run, but she's there. The traitor, waiting to stop them. Oh and she pleads, tells her everything and her eyes soften. Only later will she know the truth. Then they leave in a great struggle but the dragons end up fighting. They fight to the death, but the wrong side is winning. But wait, back up! They're winning, wait what? No! What, what? Oh! She did it! They won! Cheers all around. Or wait. Cries of alarm and anger? No! Don't leave!

Okay that was really confusing. Only to my mind would it make a spec of sense, but that's the basic gist of the climax to Prev. It'll make more sense in the book, if I ever write it. Oh wait, I'm going to write the first draft of that for Camp Nanowrimo. I almost forgot. Actually I need to prepare for that a bit more, even though I know what I want to happen, for the most part. There are more blanks that filled in parts. Bummer.

Well, I'm gonna wrap up this post. Oh gee. I haven' made any progress in learning Ogham since I started. No problem, I weave in and out of interests, I'll soon weave in again.

Life's Too Short!

So I think the current design of my blog is here to stay! It's changed quite drastically, but I like it. More color, that's what it always needed. More pop and flair. The new music is good too, they're all soundtracks. Oh! You have to check out the two Frozen deleted songs I found! They're really cool, although I'm glad they cut them from the movie. Now my blog represents myself better, although I'll be working on an even better background. That will come in a long time though.

I wrote two more book reviews, one for the Hunger Games and the other for Riding Freedom. Now that I think of it, I've been doing a horrible job at keeping up with that. I should be doing two a day, considering how many books I have read and will read. Yeah, I really need to keep up with that now.

I'm really hot... I'm going to go put my pajama shirt back on AKA a baggy old Historic Flight shirt I got from volunteering. ...ahh, much better. I'm wearing the tie-dye one. Apparently the workers and volunteers didn't stand out enough before, so they gave everyone tie-dye shirts to stand out.

We watched two episodes of Doctor Who today. It's just awesome, I wish the Doctor was real. We'd be best buddies, flying through time and space, headed off in adventures. Then I could return home and only a few seconds would have passed. If I could travel in time I'd go directly to the court of King Henry VIII or Elizabeth I. Well, maybe not Elizabeth. The Doctor had a bit of a row with her, so they aren't exactly friends.

I'v got things to do, so todays post is short. So go do good things with your life. Hmmm, maybe I should end all my posts with inspirational quotes. ...Nah.

One more thing though, we're taking care of the neighbors cats while they're in Hawaii. There's Sophie, the cat who's always hiding under the downstairs bed, and Loki. Yes, Loki, the God of Mischief. What a fitting name for a cat.

...I know, I said I was going, and this happens to often. But the title is that because of two things, it's one of the deleted Frozen song names, and because this post is short because I want to go do stuff. Ha! Who's have thought we'd see the day, the day I don't want to write a really long post. That's a first... sorta. Okay, not really. Ooo look, I can scroll now. That means this post is longer than I intended. How interesting.

Don't my titles seem like nonsense most of the time? Huh, you can imagine my book titles.

Good Days and Bacon

I know, I know, I'm not finished yet. There's still a bit of work to do on my blog, it's taking quite a bit longer that I expected. But that's because I want it to look just right! I'm going for a Spring feel, partially because Spring comes after Winter, and also because the colors on my blog are just too bleak. White and grey, bor-ring. So yes, when I'm done here chances are I'll be working on my blog. Ah yes, another thing about my blog, I think I'm going to change the name, again. Before it represented what my mind is like, now I want it to represent more of my interests and everyday life. I'll be working on a longer term background, but for now I'll do Spring colors.

In case I didn't tell you, which I didn't, our oven is working again! Yay, I can make egg sandwiches for breakfast. Ah, I've missed you. So yes, after exploding, our oven was out of commission for almost a week. That's way longer than it should have been, but oh well. Hey, maybe now we can cook that bacon that was sizzling the evening it exploded. Mm, bacon.

Last night I was brilliant. I was "think writing", and it was truly brilliant. It was inspiration for True Hero, and it was by far my best writing. Except that I didn't write it, I was only think writing it. The sad part is, I know that I would never be able to re-create my brilliance on the page. So it's a sad time. But who cares? Not me, because I'll come up with some other brilliant something!

Today I exercised, and it's also the mark of my successful exercising for two weeks! Yay, this is exciting, because, sad to say, I don't think I've ever held a commitment to exercising that long. But I will now, I will continue!

I accidentally put the difficultly level on the elliptical to four, instead of the usual, three. So I was only able to beat my record by .1 miles, and to do that I had to run .2 miles in the space of about ten seconds. As you might of guessed, I was able to do that. Barely. Afterwards I did the usual, I decided not to try and beat my crunch record, so I only did fifty. The reason is I added a new exercise to the routine, planking. At the moment I don't feel likes explaining what that is, so look it up if you don't know. But I set a record of planking, and side planking on each side, of thirty seconds. Mind you, halfway through each one I paused the stop watch and rested. I'm not strong enough to hold it the entire time. Fifteen seconds it hard enough. Then of course I finished up with pull ups. My record is still zero. Z-e-r-o.  Zero. I almost did one though! I'm closer than before, but still that record remains unbeaten. Even so, it just gives me more resolve to beat it! Oh yeah, I also did glute lifts, but that's not much to speak of. It doesn't seem that amazing, even though I did ten of them. I suppose I'll ramp that up on Monday. After all that I cooled down, had a healthy lunch mad of leftover chicken, potatoes, and peas. Seeing it as a perfect time to do so, I drank the repelling, but ever so good for you, raw apple cider vinegar. Afterwards I treated myself to a frozen smoothie I'd made the day before. The smoothie was also healthy, so overall I think today has been a very good day.

That's it, I'm finally going to add words such as yay, to my Google dictionary. Although go figure, the word yay still has squiggly red lines under it. because I added yay with a capital. Ug. Oh look, there's another word that has red squigglies, ug. Squigglies is not a word. I'm not adding that to my Google dictionary though. I'm not sure why, I just don't want to. This paragraph has lots of red lines.

I finished reading The Hunger Games. This books I was able to read in two days, Divergent took three. So far I really like the story, hopefully I'll have time to do a book review soon. I also hope I can get Catching Fire from the library soon. I know much less about that book, but I know even less about Mockingjay. For now it has become a waiting game. Ah yes, we're hoping to watch the movie sometime within the next week or so.

And now, The Amazing Race. Tune in tomorrow to hear my thoughts on the subject! Alina Nadine here, signing out.

Big Plans, Beware

So I've got big plans for this blog. Things are changing, our with the old, in with the new! Throw out the old music, get more variety, Winter is melting into Spring, demolish that snow background! For heavens sake, why is everything so bleak in color? Bring on the colors of Spring I say! Okay, okay. I'll calm down. I should also say that I have no idea where this is going to end, how my blog will look, or if it will change that much at all. I did have fun writing that. It felt like I was ordering a bunch of people around, to arrange a room for a party or something. But yes, I keep getting more and more ideas for my blog, but I don't know if I'll be able to put them into action.

I'm considering making another blog/tab to do movie reviews. But I'm not entirely sure if I should, I mean do I really watch that many movies? Well... yeah, I'm still not sure. Maybe I'll make a list of movies, then decide. I also need to keep up with my book reviews. Speaking of which, if my main blog changes, chances are the archives will to. I'll still try and keep that old library feel to them though. Another thing I'm considering is to make a tab to post my pictures I take in. Now I don't take pictures often, but I bought a camera years ago because I became fascinated by photograph. More importantly, the beauty I could capture with it. I'm a unique photographer, I've got a small camera and I go for dynamic sorta views. Although I fail in the aspect most of the time. In any case, I might make a photography tab or possibly blog to have separate posts, to store pictures. Maybe it will prompt me to take more pictures more often. I should go charge my camera.

Today I intervene a guy, his name is Bill. He was a kid on Hawii during WWII. Perfect for research concerning Rocha, right? Yes and no. I mean yes, the info is just what I need, but I might not have this book be my NaNoWriMo re-write. It'll just be another book, since I've taken an interest in WWII. So now it's a nameless novel set in 1941. Honestly I don't know what to do with Rocha, and so it gathers dust, as I've said before. Who knows, maybe I'll get an idea for it one of these days. In the mean time True Hero is my main priority, though I haven't specifically worked on it for a little while. Been busy. Doing stuff. Okay, okay, fine. I've been reading The Hunger Games. It's pretty awesome. I vaguely know the premise of the other books so I'm even more excited. The problem? I have to wait for them from the library. Currently I'm reading the first book on Tiana's Nook, but when I'm done she's going to want to read Catching Fire first. I hope to get that in from the library soon. Who knows how long Mockingjay will take, I'm number 50 on the list. Well, 59 something, I don't know the exact number.

Back to my blog planning. I should end this post, I only have so much time before I leave to interview Bill. After that my dad has a meeting to attend to and my mom, Tiana, and I will go to it with him, since we'll already be there. So the rest of my day is planned. I'd better use what time I have, and I'll try and keep the blog in good enough shape to read.

The Piano Guys

What do you think? The new music is nice, isn't it? All of it's by some of my favorite dudes, The Piano Guys. It have haven't heard of them, then you need to search their music on YouTube. It's incredible, that's why I decided to post it here. Quick, go listen to Vivaldi's Winter, it's actually their version of Let it Go, from Disney's Frozen. I absolutely love it! If I ever learn a strings instrument, it would be the cello. No doubt in my mind.

So I've been thinking, this blog is really neat and all, but it doesn't reflect my personality very much. Sure, it's a great representation of what's going on in my mind, but I might change it around. Make it represent more of my life, my interests. Now that I've gotten into messing around on paint, making backgrounds and stuff, that seems more realistic. I'll be thinking about that. I might do it today, but Sereina said we could watch Doctor Who. Guess which one takes priority? Not that hard to tell. Along with changing my blog I'll quite possibly change out the music quite often. But I love The Piano Guys music, it's so epic, and light hearted, and just, perfect. I think it helps explain my life a little better than the Celtic music. Don't get me wrong, I adore Celtic music and things. But when it comes to my personality I think The Piano Guys take the cake.

For today's exercising I added .6 miles to my record, so I ran 1.21 miles today. Then I did 50 crunches, that's ten more than before. I still can't do a pull up, but I'm not letting such a petty thing get me down. I'll just keep trying till I can do one, and so on. While I was running I didn't watch television, I was reading. The Hunger Games. Nope, it's not in from the library, I'm reading it on Tiana's Nook. She read it, and now I'm reading it. Go figure, it came in at the library an hour ago. I've already ordered Catching Fire, in hopes that I'll have it within the week. If I finished Divergent in three days The Hunger Games shouldn't take much longer.

Okay, that's it. Simply because I feel like it I'm going to re-do my blog. It might not be done today, so fair warning, my blog could be a disaster for a small while. I think I'll go with a scrapbook type look, including everything I like, horse pictures, phoenix or gryphon drawings, to show my love for those creatures and drawing, and just. Yeah.

Okay, there's been a slight set back. I've got to go do dishes. Bummer. So I'm going to go do them, then I'll probably come back and work on the blog. In the mean time, enjoy this awesome music! Actually I might end up watching Doctor Who until late, so this blog might remain the same until some times tomorrow. In any case, see ya'lls later!

Odysseo, the Incredible Show

Odysseo was amazing! Turns out the bit we saw was only a short bit, for the press. So we got to see the show (part of it at least) before many other people had. It was so cool, there were so many performers and the guy at the beginning said there were 66 horses. That's a lot. I tried to take pictures, but my camera isn't very good and the lighting wasn't the best. But I'll show a few moderately good pictures.

So this first picture was during the beginning act. I know, it's not very good quality. But it's one of the best pictures of the bunch. There were guys holding poles and then both men and woman rode the horses over. Their costumes looked like gypsies, it was so cool. There were also guys with those things you put on your feet, to make yourself jump really high. Also, in the very beginning a bunch of guys were just doing back hand springs and back flips and jumping on each other. This would actually be my dream job, now that I think of it. The horse parts, maybe not jumping and doing crazy stunts. Unless they were on horses, maybe then.

Unfortunately this is the best picture I could get of this part of the show. The rest were really grainy, but mostly blurry. This part was so cool, this girl started in the middle of the arena, just sitting there while all those horses galloped around her. Then she got up and began to interact with them. It's so hard to explain, but it was just so amazing. At one point they horses moved with her in a large circle, all of the horses side by side, while she walked near the middle. It was just, awesome.


In this act a carousel wheeled down from the ceiling and people started doing some pretty incredible stuff. They were climbing these poles and just doing things that would require such an amount of strength. In a way it was like magic, but of course it wasn't. All the music and singing was live, and in this act the singer came down, she's the girl that you can see on the carousel. This picture doesn't show any of the intricate things they did, but most of the time there were men and woman hanging off the poles that the carousel horses are hooked up to.

 The end of the show was by far the best. You'll notice the watery background that they displayed on the screen. Well at first there was only one silhouette, a woman on her horse. They just pranced there as water filled the stage below the hill. Yes, there was a hill in the arena. Water filled below, then other riders came around, but they didn't go into the water. That's where the next picture comes in.

 This was the best picture, but the rider then proceeded to lead her horse into the water, pictured below, and pranced around in it. Her dress was really long, so it hung around the horse and got completely soaked. But she just pranced around, then raced around in the water. They used lights to make the water an incredible color of blue, it looked magical.

 I'm so glad I got the picture below. In case you can't tell, since I was zoomed out, the horse it rearing. That was pretty awesome. They the riders rode around in the water and it was just so cool. The music was really beautiful, and it was even more awesome being there, then just looking at the picture. About half way through the show we all started to wish that we'd chosen a closer seat, for better pictures. At least I know that for if I ever got to it again. It I could I would see it again. The drawing is over, so my dad didn't win the tickets.

Here's a picture of everyone from the show. At least I think it's everyone, it should be. In the end it was totally awesome going to this show, even though most of my pictures didn't turn out. I'm glad I brought my camera, I almost didn't. Along with these pictures I've got some video. I videoed one of the entire acts, I think it might have been the one in which one of the girl riders dropped her silk banner. Even so, it was all breath taking and I really wish I could see it again. I'll post the video here, when I finally figure out how to make it work. So for now, enjoy the pictures.

Today's the Day!

So I can't help myself, I gotta post before we go. I'm so excited, today is Odysseo! It's going to be so awesome. You know, I'm still rather amazed that we're going. It feels unreal, almost like a dream.

It's hard for me to type right now, my middle finger on my left hand has a band aid. Well, technically there's two, because the first one didn't completely cover the cut. I didn't want to take the first one off. You might be wondering about this band aid. Yes, I just got it yesterday, in case you were wondering. I was chopping potatoes for dinner and the knife slipped, slicing into my finger. Ew, I shudder just thinking of it. Although I made it much worse in my head. Hmm, that goes to show the power of positive thinking. After I cut it, my finger started to hurt, obviously, obviously. While my mom rushed for a band aid, something I usually do, I started to feel woozy. Apparently I don't have the mental capacity to handle a cut, at least sometimes. So yeah, one second I wanted to throw up, the next I felt like I could faint. Afterwords I confirmed what I've always said, I could never become a doctor or veterinarian. Not that I want to be. The funny thing is quite a few year back I cut myself, I was opening Daniel's package and I sliced my thumb pretty bad, worse than this. But I didn't get woozy. I also don't remember much pain, maybe it was because of the adrenalin, because though the package was Daniel's I was excited to, I mean it was a Lego set. So yeah, it's interesting to compare different cuts.

While reading some of my earlier post I realized something, they might not make much sense at times. I'm a little choppy in my writing, but that's just because my brain works that way. The spelling mistakes don't help, either. So I've decided to try and take my time when writing my posts. That'll be hard, because of how fast my mind is reeling. But I think it's for the best. When I first started this blog it was pretty much for myself, I never really thought someone would read it. But now I have one or two readers, and I don't want to confuse them. Besides, it's good practice for me.

Well, I have to go make sure everything's ready for Odysseo. I'll take my camera and hopefully I'll get a few good pictures. If I do I'll post them here, I mean how could I not? Hm, good question. I'll ponder that later, right now I need breakfast. Ah, but one last thing before I go. I cleaned out my Google Drive. It was a disaster in there, but now it's mostly clean. The story section that is, there's still a bit of work, and the random file needs cleaning out, but overall it's much better. So yes, I'm going to eat and you can expect a second post today. Gosh, it's going to take forever for the time to come, the show starts at one, so I've got a bit of a wait. Oh well, I'll just try and keep my mind busy, maybe I'll write. Or draw! I've been meaning to make a good drawing of Hawk Girl, or Huntress. But Hawk Girl takes priority.

Here Goes Nothing!

I'm chillaxing (yes Google, I know that's not a real word). Simply because I felt like it I'm still in my exercise clothes, shorts and a baggy shirt, and drinking a smoothie, while writing a post. I finished exercising a short while ago, it felt so good! Just like math, I never thought I'd say this, I'm enjoying exercising. Now I don't want to go crazy then find out it was just an "in the moment" sorta thing, but so far I'm really enjoying it. Today I did the usual, running for twenty five minutes, and beat my record. In that time slot I was able to run 1.15 miles, Friday I was only able to run 1.10 miles. I know, a petty difference, but that doesn't matter to me. My new way of doing things is, beat my own record. Today I added crunches, after my mom showed me how, and I was able to do forty crunches. That's... a lot. Then there's pull ups... haha, fail. I did a big, fat zero. My arms are not strong, at all, so I wasn't able to do even one. But I'm okay with that, eventually, after much trial and error, I will do one. Then I'll try and beat that record and so on and so fourth.

Tomorrow is the big day, tomorrow Tiana, Mamma, and I get to see Odysseo! I'm so excited, it's gonna be awesome! I can't wait, I just. Wow, I'm so excited. I wanted to go last time they were in town, I mean a show with horses. Need I say more?

Disneyland. We watched our old "movie" of us going to Disneyland back in 2009. Just... the memories, the happy, incredible, ticket losing memories! Yeah, I lost my ticket into the park, took the rest of the evening to get another one (I think I lost it on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, one of my favorites!). Even so that was one of the best vacations ever. I love watching us go on the rides and smiling and having fun. If my dad had his job we would have gone last year, we always go every four years. We don't know when we'll go again, but I hope it's soon. Disneyland is our families happy place, like everyone loves it there so much, we all go ballistic when vacation time comes! So yeah, we watched us on our old trip. I kind of... cringe when I watch myself. Good old me... haha, yeah um. This is sorta embarrassing but when I was younger I didn't really brush my hair all that often. At that age it didn't seem to make a difference to me. So yeah, I was pretty care free when I was younger. Man, talk about a blast from the past. Baggy jeans, wild hair, no cares. Wow, that sums up myself when I was younger. Like, it seriously sums it up.

Don't ask why this came to mind, it just did, but why does everyone want an endless Summer? There's a movie called Endless Summer, about these guys who traveled the world, following Summer or something. Now that I type that it sounds weird, but they did something along those lines. Back on to pic, whats wrong with Autumn, Winter, and Spring? I'm not much of a Spring person myself, not sure why. I guess I just prefer to deep, rich colors of Autumn and the sparkling wonder of Winter. Sorry to say, but to me Summer is a bit to bleached, and Spring it so, pastel-y. In color that is. Ever think of things in a strange way? Like thinking of different seasons being colors and having attitudes and personalities. This next one is going to sound really weird, ever think of the numbers as being a gigantic family? Probably not. But for some reason I do, and for another weird reason it helps me in math. No kidding, 7 and 8 are the stuck of teenagers and as much as they don't like it when you multiply then they become 56, their pesky litter brothers. I know, it's wired. But my brain has always been that one.

...Funny how one topic goes from one thing to another until you have no idea how the conversation started. I have that happen quite often... well, used to have it happen otter... well. It depends. On an entirely new subject, guess what I'm doing? Converting oxygen into carbon dioxide. If you don't get it, think of it a while. It'll come to you.

Well, I'm gonna hit the showers. Then write. Let's find out if I do what I say I do, eh? Actually that sentence made no sense, did it? Eh, made sense to me. Annnnd, now I can totally hear the audiences reply. To that I say, "Pah! They do not scare me."

Wanna know something? I was watching the Olympics when they showed a Russian woman shouting Nyet! Nyet, nyet, nyet, nyet, nyet! I went on much longer, but it's funny watching people in different languages saying no, no, no, no, no! Oh great... what if Darth Vader had been Russian? Nnnnnyyyyyyyeeeeeeettttttttt! Okay, that'd would have been sorta funny. But you can't laugh during episode three. It's like, physically impossible, especially at the heart wrenching part when Anakin says, "What have I done?" as he falls to his knees with a pained look. Wow, that was a terrible job at describing such a vital part of the movie.

On a happier topic, I'm actually doing to go do what I said I was goona do, which is hit the showers. Toodles (I just had an impulse to say that, dunno why).

Coincidence? I Think Not.

Guess what? I doubt you'd ever guess it, like seriously. How's this, I'll bet you five bucks that you'll never guess it. Okay, that wont work, cause we're on the internet. So here's the news, which to anyone know knows me, it might astonish them. Maybe not, just depends. I'm getting The Hunger Games, from the library. The book, first. Yes, me. Getting The Hunger Games. See, our family is not really into violent shows, we never watched shows with violence for a while. So when The Hunger Games came out none of my family was even remotely interesting in reading or watching it. Exempt me. Now I don't like violence, but I don't mind it. Apparently I'm fairly... well, TV doesn't bug me half the time. Like, the episode of Sherlock, The Hound of Baskerville, didn't bug me. Everyone else said they felt weird, and that it was intense. But not to me. To be honest television shows are never intense for me, well, hardly. Unless it Revolution, then you pretty much know the main character isn't going to die. Like the second Indiana Jones, when Willie Scot is hanging above the lava. Not intense. At all. Back on topic. None of my family was interested. But I saw trailers, I saw more than kids killing kids. Especially after reading Divergent, I became interested. Apparently I like the genre, Dystopia. It's basically a society that's doomed to fail. I knew my parents might have reservations about me reading it, but when I brought it up I was surprised how easy going they were about it. So now I'm really excited to get The Hunger Games, and read it for the first time. Heck, I saw a trailer for Catching Fire, and I'm already sorta excited for it, even though I haven't read the books. It just looks so interesting, and people have confirmed my feelings that there's more than just violence. So yes, that's really exciting for me. I also hope that wasn't confusing. I just wanted to convey the entire story, because in my family me reading The Hunger Games isn't like me just getting another book.

You'll never guess what happened to our friends, specifically Emmalyn. I've mentioned her blog (Tumblotwit) before. Well, remember me telling about our oven heating element blowing out? It just so happened, on the same day ours went out, so did theirs. I cannot believe that, I mean on the same day the same thing happened to our ovens. After telling about her experience here's what she said -- (The funny thing is that someone we know had the exact same thing happen today (and they also read this blog, so HI). Coincidence? I think not. The universe is rarely that lazy. The ovens must have heard about Ragnarok, and they’re fleeing before the end.) -- Her blog is very entertaining, so you know what? I think I'll post the link. :) http://emmalynbd.tumblr.com/

I have discovered, (drum roll, please) Camp NaNoWriMo! Yes, two months in the middle of the year there is Camp NaNo. I think I'll do it, one of the cool parts is you can join a victual cabin, with other writers of the same genre. So you can message, give advice, tips, and help. I'm really excited, I think I'll do it so I can get a start of the first draft of Prev. so I can finally write it. Since it'll be in Summer I wont stress as much as the one in November. I figure Camp NaNo is a great way to get a first draft of a story, cause lets face it. It can take forever to write the book otherwise. So yeah, I'm really excited to do that. At first I thought I'd do The Shadow, but Prev. is more developed so I think I'd be better. I already have a good idea of what to write in that.

I just finished playing Canasta with my family. It's a game all the old cronies know, and it's really fun and complicated. Like you couldn't figure out all the rules in one sitting. Every time we play we learn more. Just an overall way to describe it is an extremely complicated game of Go Fish. I'm not kidding, it's similar, but way more complicated. So, old people's go fish! Haha, that's. Weird to think about.

I can't wait till Tuesday! That's when Mamma, Tiana, and I go and see Odysseo. I can't believe we get to go, I wanted to last time it was in town. So I'm just amazed. I'm so excited, I can't wait! :D Even though we're going already I hope my dad wins the contest, because that includes going back stage after the show, and going to the stables! Squee! I love going to the stables. Like I get more excited than is possibly imaginable when horses are around. Like we'll be on a hike, and people will ride past, and I'm just dancing and screaming inside. If you came up to me, and said I could ride a horse right then, I would faint. Okay, maybe not. I've only fainted once in my life, and it was because... well, I'm not entirely sure. I was at the dentist (our old one) and I just got a cavity done... or was that when I got the stitches? Anyway, I got work done and they asked if I was woozy and needed to rest before leaving. Well I said I was fine, although I had to have sounded half asleep. They took me to wait for my mom to come. I sat in a chair and then everything just went black. I had a lump on my head after because I hit my head on the chair.

Wow. I got really off topic. But yes, I'd freak out. Like if you came up and said, "wanna walk her around the ring a few times?" I'd freak. Course, that'd never gonna happen. But I like to imagine it. I loved it when I was riding once a week, I was just getting the hang of posting and trotting without hanging on for dear life, then my dad lost his job. Ever since I've been looking for literally any way possible to be around horses. I love every chore that comes with them, I used to volunteer at a stable, mucking out stalls once a week. My arm muscles must have been pretty good, cause manure can get heavy. But yes, any way to get around horses. If there's horses, I'm either there, or desperately want to go there. When I had a job I wanted to take lessons, but one I lacked a place to take lessons, and my income wasn't enough to take them more than once a month. But someday, I know for a fact, that I will go on a camping trip with my horse. I'll ride there by horse, I'll have pack horses to carry everything. It'll be just like in the olden days, just like in... Steele Dust. Except I won't kill for my food, I'd have to bring it all. Well, unless I went fishing. Even then, I'd bring food. As much as I hate to say it, I can't kill animals, let alone skin and cook them. Even moles, or rock chucks. At my aunts I had the opportunity to pick off some rock chucks, they burro under the hill and could create large problems. But they're fuzzy. So I just can't. But who cares, I don't need to for survival, so I'm fine. 

I think I'll go play Nancy Drew. Why? Cause I feel like it. Well, maybe not. Maybe in a little bit. Oh yes! I wrote a review on Divergent, so go check it out in the archives.

Odysseo by Cavalia

So I know, two posts in one day, but I just got the conformation, Tiana and I get to go to Odysseo! It's a show, mainly centered around tricks with horses, and we go Tuesday! My dad got us free seats from this person he knows, I'm not exactly sure how it happened. But I'm just so excited! I get to see Odysseo! :D Last night when I knew there was a chance I became so excited, I mean my dad had entered a contest to win tickets. I doubted we'd win, and so far we haven't, but that doesn't even matter anymore, because we're going! :D I'm so excited, how am I going to wait four whole days? I'll just have to forget about it. Naw, I'll probably talk about it every post until then. Ahh, I can't believe I get to see that! Never in a million years did I think I'd get to see it. Okay, I just didn't think I'd get to see it anytime soon. Maybe sometime in a million years.

Now back on track, I'm about to jog for a bit. Gotta get set up, so see ya'll's later! :D (I GET TO SEE ODYSSEO!!!)

It's Friday

So I usually don't start writing a post, then put it off for later, but I didn't want to forget this. I'm doing math right now... well... okay, I'm not even going to go there. Again. Back on topic, I was doing math on this awesome website called Kahn Academy. Well I was doing a multi-step word problem (I know, I'm really behind in math) and it asked this awesome question - Frodo is making pancakes for a breakfast party. He has 67 blueberries to put on the pancakes, and he wants to top each stack with as many blueberries as possible while making sure each stack of pancakes has the same number of blueberries. Each individual will receive one stack of pancakes. If Frodo winds up with any leftover blueberries, he'll just save them for later. Then it goes on to list what his guests are - If 1 orc, 4 hobbits, 2 humans, 1 elf, and 1 wizard are at the breakfast party, how many blueberries will be left over? Can I just say this math site is the best because of this? Oh man, I cannot resist telling you another question I got a while back, it was funnier than this one - Varian rides a horse that can run 8 meters per second. Gelbin rides a rocket powered robo-ostrich that can run 4 times as fast as Varian's horse. I just love it when these sites get creative! Those are just two of many cool questions they ask, making math even more fun than it already is! Math is awesome... :) I'm going to go finished my math, then I'll write the rest of this post.

Today is Friday... noooo! I have to jog again! Actually, that's a good thing. First off I don't mind to much, cause I get to watch TV while I do it. Plus this week has gone really slowly for me, I'm kind of like, wow, it's finally Friday. So weather jogging has anything to do with it or now, this week has been slow. That's a good thing, because I don't like the weeks to rush by. So yes, today I jog. I really need something good to watch while I do it, I mean what I already do is fine, but I mean. I don't know. I wish I could write, or read, or just listen to music, or compose music while I do it. I mean half those things I could do, but watching TV gets my mind of it better, so I do that. You know, I sorta have that feeling of, I want to do everything under the sun, write, read, listening to music, make music, write my book, do my latch hook. All that jazz.

Last night I finished Divergent. It's such a good book! You know what, I was gonna give it four and a half stars, but I mean. It's to good for such a rating. I mean yeah, it's a romance novel, but I ignore that. These days you almost can't find a teen book without romance. That's just not right. Back on topic, I think it'll be five stars. Sure, it's partially a romance novel, but it's not full out and the rest of the story just pushed that into the back of my mind. I cannot take an amazing book and dislike it because of a few flaws, that just wouldn't be right. So yes, Divergent is great! Now I'm waiting to get Insurgent from the library, it's the next book. I'm glad the book didn't leave off at a major cliffhanger, like I thought it might. The last nine chapters or so are really intense, I couldn't stop reading them last night! Now I think I'm even more excited to see the movie Divergent, when it comes out. I watched another trailer, it just looks so good, like I'm watching the book.

Since our stove is out I had to make yogurt for breakfast, instead of an egg sand which. That is a bummer because I've been craving one since last night. I love spearing salted butter on my break, it makes it taste even better. Oh... I'm getting hungry. Maybe I should go have some toast... but. That would be by itself. Just carbs. Carbs turn into sugar indie me... well, that's one way to look at it. But... but... but... it sounds so good, toast! Fine, I'll have some toast. I'm exercising today anyway and it's not like I'm having some chocolate cake with refined sugar. Ew. Most cakes don't even look good, they just look like pure sugar. I can imagine myself getting sick if I ate some, luckily I can't. Like, not because we don't have any, but I literally can't. Besides, my mom's home made chocolate cake is way better. That's it, I'm gonna go have toast. You know, I really need to stop talking about food when I'm making posts. Oh gosh thought... this post is short. Eh, who cares? There's always tomorrow.

Explosions and Pockets

I cannot believe what happened this evening. It was. Scary. Not like, I watched a movie scary, but like something real life scary. My hands stopped shaking sometime ago, but I can still remember the orange-red glow coming from the oven at it sizzled loudly. Tonight is my night to cook, so I was in the kitchen preparing dinner, a new potato recipe, carrots, and mustard chicken. Well I'd just turned the oven on a few minuets ago and was chopping carrots while my mom and I chatted. From the oven we heard a sizzling, and it quickly grew louder. At first I was curious, but then I was scared. My mom rushed over and the noise grew louder until there was a loud popping noise. From the side of the oven I could see an orange-red glow. At that point I was starting to fear that it would blow up, and I'm not kidding, I seriously thought something really bad was going to happen. Running around the pantry, and out of the way were it to blow, the noise stopped. My mom opened the oven and a rush of smoke poured out, setting off the smoke alarms. The heat pipe on the bottom of the oven was bright yet, and sizzling. My mom called for my dad, when he asked what has up I told him to come quick. Like something's extremely wrong with the oven quick. It was only after the danger was over, and I stood behind the small commotion, that I realized that my mom would have been hurt had the oven blown.

So there you have it. At the time it was really frightening. After they started assessing the damage I threw a pillow at the smoke alarms, so the house was quite. In the sunlight I could see the smoke drifting lazily. We opened all the windows and turned on the ceiling fan in the living room. Our dinner is now being cooked on the grill, every last bit. The entire oven went out, and just as we thought we'd have to splurge and buy an oven, we figured we would be able to limp it through a bit more. The thought of buying a new oven has put our financial troubles back into perspective. But I know panic only leads to more panic. All I can do is pray.

...Well... I'm not sure what to make of that... I mean, it's like... weird. The way I wrote it, I had to keep myself from turning it into a story. I have a tenancy to do that in every situation. Even when I'm sobbing and really sad, or just so angry that I want to punch a wall, my thoughts drift to, ah! So this is a way I can convey emotions in my story. When I'm sad I don't care that I thought that, it sorta helps me to cheer up. When I'm angry it just sorta makes myself more angry, because I cannot be angry without cataloging it in my mind for story writing research. That's life to me, I see people, things, sounds, smells, and I can't help but remember them and place them in a story. For instance, we went to the mall today and I kept smelling all the too sweet or downright nasty smells from different mall stores. I couldn't help but think of True Hero, a flashback.

So today we went to the mall. I wasn't expecting to spend money, heck, I got none! But my mom was able to muster up a little because I needed pajama pants. Shirts? I got hundreds. Okay, to be more accutate, about fifteen. Give or take. That is totally true, but another story. I got a new pair of pajama pants, they're blue, a plaid design. But that's not even the best part. They have pockets. I'm so excited, because I love pockets! I adore them, because when I don't have them it just isn't right. Like, I'll wear my black knit sweater when we go out to a nice place or event, and I'm constantly trying to put my hands in my pockets. But I can't! Because it has none. So now I've got pajama pants with pockets, so out of my entire life, I'd have to say these pajama's are my favorite. Well... if you don't count when I was about seven-ish and I got footy pajamas after getting a rug burn from sliding down the stairs. At that age I love sliding down the stairs on my stomach, we did it with friends and it was so fun! But the rug burn hurt. So that Christmas we got footy pajamas.

I still can't believe the oven just, died. Like, It'll be working soon... I hope. But the point is, it was so sudden. I mean I guess you can't prepare for it, but. I don't know. Come to think of it our oven has been acting it's age for a long time, the buttons are harder to press, the circuits on buttons is messing up the other. Eh, it's complicated. But it didn't seem that old. But I have had it my entire life, so I guess it makes sense. Okay, random topic. Well, sorta. My dad pulled out a yellow file he had, to find the manual for the oven. He has like, every manual from every appliance we've ever had in that file. They're all like new and he found it easily. When he came up with it he gave me a pointed look and said, "Thanks to my good filing system I know where the manual is." I just smiled. Now I'm not exactly know for knowing exactly where my things are, heck, when I was little I lost my shoes every day. That's an understatement. I do better now days, but I lose things much easier then he does. In the garage he's got lots of stuff, and even when his desk is a mess he knows where everything is. Well, almost everything. He knows where it is as long as he put it back and didn't leave it on his messy bench. But he almost always does.

When we were at the mall our grandma, who was the whole reason we went, decided she wanted to treat us to chocolate covered strawberries, as an early Valentines present. We headed over to Godiva, but their prices were outrageous. I mean I can sorta understand it, but 49 dollars for six chocolate covered strawberries? I don't think so. So we decided to but strawberries and chocolate from Costco, just near my grandma's house, and then make some at home. But now that the oven isn't working we won't get them today. Boo hoo.

I've almost finished Divergent. Less than nine chapters left. I'm going to be honest, the text it larger then I thoughts, and the text is also fairly well spaced. So it's no surprise that I'd finished such a large looking book so soon. I'm also a fast reader, or some I'm told. I'm also a fast talker, but I'm going to have to take peoples word for it. I never feel like I'm talking fast, I just talk and I naturally speed up. So yes, I've almost finished. I'll have to do a book review on it, I'll probably rate it as four out of five stars. Oh yes! I reviewed two books yesterday, Shadow Horse and Whirlwind. They go together, so I decided to review them on the same day.

Well, I've got things to do. I was out all morning, then I came home to cook and have the oven explode. You might say it's been a busy day.

Divergent

Well I got time to kill. I think. See, I'm waiting a little while before exercising. I aim to do it regularly, so today's my day again. I figure I might want to wait a little while after eating. People are always talking about digesting after they eat, so they don't want to run. I've never really thought it was a big deal, unless I go and eat until I feel tired and don't want to move. But I try not to do that with company, that way I'm full of energy and not a bore.

So I've been reading Divergent. Yesterday, the day I got it, I read 156 pages. Yeah, I know, that's a lot for one day, but I was tired so I just curled up in bed and read a bunch. So far the book is really good, I wish it challenged my reading a bit more though, that part is disappointing. Apparently most modern books don't challenge the reader. That's sad, I like more of a challenge. Oh well, the story is awesome! There are five factions in this large city and I've been trying to decide what one I'd be in. Not Dauntless, they're brave and fearless. Haha, not me. Candor always tell the truth, so I suppose I could be one of them, but I wouldn't want to. They seem boring, always wearing black and white. Abnegation would be really boring, because they're completely selfless, hardly ever able to see yourself in the mirror, always thinking of others. Not that that's bad, but in the book they take it to the extreme. Erudite, the intelligent. I suppose I could be apart of their faction, maybe. I mean I think I'm fairly smart, but I'm no whiz kid. Oh yes, did I mention in the book you choose what faction you stay in when your sixteen, after a test. I'm only fifteen, so if I lived in the book I'd still have a year. Until then I would like in whatever faction I was born into. Gosh, it's fun thinking about what my life might be like if I lived in the book Divergent. It suppose o be in the future. I'm suspicious about it, like a certain part. It's really peaked my curiosity, but I'll talk about that some other time. Finally the last faction, Amity, the peaceful. I'd want to be with them, farm life, just fun and harmony. Yup, that'd be where I'd be. You know it took me forever to finally remember which faction is which. I had to use the book to remember them all just now.

I love the song, Something I want, from the credits of Tangled. Just the up beat feel, it's perfect. Not rock and roll, but it's got a great beat to it. I wish Frozen had a more upbeat song... well besides Love is an Open Door. Am I weird to continually turn up the volume on my MP3? I just love to really get the best sound, so you can hear every little bit. It's surprising the amount of the song you can miss when you don't listen to it loudly. It makes the song more stunning. Well... sometimes. ;) Also, is it weird that I still use an old MP3 when I've got an old phone? No, actually. I need a micro SD card in my phone to use music and I need that for my camera. I suppose there's Google Cloud or something like that, but I prefer getting my money's worth outta this old thing while I can. So what if the sounds wheel messes up sometimes, making it harder to adjust the volume? It's good enough for me.

So I need to do more book reviews. I was super excited, then I got busy. Maybe I'll do Falcon in the Glass next, or Shadow Horse and Whirlwind. Both great horse books, and they go together. You know, finding good horse books is hard. Most of them are really cheesy, like, oh no, the horse reared! We have to prove the horses innocent. For Peat's sake that's part of having a horse! Yeah, because I know a fair amount about horses more horse books are ruined for me. Not like some people, cause other people know more, but somethings drive me nuts!

Ever thought about that phrase? Drives me nuts. I mean when you really think about it that sentence makes no sense. It's weird, these phrases. Well, sometimes. Well, most of the time. Well... eh, just depends.

So yeah, most of yesterday was shopping in the morning, then reading Divergent. We started watching The Amazing Spider-Man last night, but got tired. I love that movie, but I love the originals. Don't ask me to compare them, it's impossible. It's like someone asking what my favorite Star Wars movie is. Seriously? You can't choose, although episode one is out. :P It's also like someone asking what my favorite book is. I don't have a favorite book. I HAVE HUNDREDS!!!

I've pretty much-ly given up on trying to read the Chinese or tribal Royal Diaries. They're just not like the others. So I'll stick to the good old ones. Good old Mary, and Marie, and Anastasia, and Elizabeth, and Elizabeth. There are two Elizabeth diaries, but I think their names are spelled differently. One is Elizabeth Tudor, this other is some other per... Oh. My. Gosh. Was she? I gotta look this up. Okay, false alarm. It wasn't about Empress Elizabeth. Oh yes, although one good Royal Diary is Jahanara. It's the one good one that's not about a Scottish, English, or French princess. Well, technically Marie Antoinette was Austrian, but those cover the main countries. Well, then there's Russia and... not Germany. What was is, ah yes! Spain. I can't think of any others. But as long as it's not tribal or Chinese then the books is good.


Well, I guess I should get ready to jog. I'll start at eleven, watch an episode of The Dick Van Dike Show while I do it. Or I could read Divergent while I run. We'll see. Maybe I'll watch something different. But I won't just listen to music. It drags on in that way. One day, short after seeing Frozen in theaters, I listened to the music while exercising. Tiana bought it the day we saw it, she bought it before we saw it! But yeah, it's better to find something to take your mind off of it more. This time I'll set the machine to tell me how far I run.

I need to watch Tangled sometimes. With all the amazingness of Frozen I forget how good the movie is. I still think it's not fair to compare the two because they're so different in ways. But in the end I think I like Frozen better. ;)

Short, I know

I'm going to fall asleep listening to this music, Mists of Avalon. Remember how tired I said I was yesterday? It doesn't compare to the day after work out pain and tiredness. I just want to curl up in bed and sleep, but I can't waste my day. I could curl up in bed and read though. Today I got Divergent from the library. I thought it would be written in a more... grown up style? It just feels, well. Like the story is really cool so far, it's moving faster then I thought it would. To be honest it feels like a first or second draft of one of my stories, in regard to the writing style. But everyone has a different style. Oh man, this book would be amazing if Barbara Kyle had written it. Within the first page of The Queens Captive I fell in love with her writing style. But I will keep reading Divergent, I really like the setting so far.

Other books I got from the library include many books by Scott O'Dell, although I probably wont read them until I finished Divergent. Simply because I need to return that one as soon as possible. I really want to read Black Star, Bright Dawn. It's about an Eskimo girl and her dog, their names are the title, so I forget which is which. But she enters in a dog sled race, so that's right up my alley. In fact it's one of the things I love.

So I'm always talking about the historical figures I love, although they're always royals. I'll have you know there are a few other people that I like in history. Pocahontas is one, and one of my favorites, Corrie Ten Boom. I love both of their stories. Don't ask me to pick a favorite, it's impossible.

I've got so many books from the library, I won't be short of reading material for some time. Okay, I can't stand it any longer, I need to lay down I'm so exhausted! Don't worry, after a week or two of jogging I should get used to it, it's just the initial start up of exercising. Just sucks the energy out of people. I've started then stopped exercising so many times, I'm determined to stick to it this time. I've also decided jogging for half an hour three times a week is plenty. I won't do anything else except warm up and cool down. At least until I'm used to it.

Now, to rest and read Divergent.

Busy Morning

I'm exhausted. Yet I haven't left the house, haven't set foot on the outside world. The outside world that allowed all the snow to melt. Yes, my body aches, but they're good aches. Today I started my exercise routine. It needs a little work, but overall I like it. First I warm up with various stretches, then I run on our elliptical for the duration of one half hour show, then, and this is what needs changing, I do some push ups (I can only to if from the knees :/) and crunches, bicycle crunches, and. That's it. It needs working on because after jogging so long I'm already really shaky. So maybe after running I'll do yoga or something, then cool down. Why am I doing this? Because when I write I sit at the computer and sitting all day is bad for you. So I exercise so I don't feel bad about writing. It's good for the body, and sitting here I feel refreshed. Although the might be because I took a shower. Can you believe this, while I was taking my shower I forgot if I'd shampooed my hair. I still don't know, so I might have done it twice. Another thing, because of my unruly hair I used a lot of conditioner, so I'm out again.

So silly me, I started reading another book when i'm about to get Divergent. That needs to take priority because I won't be able to renew it. But the book I started is The Queens Captive. It's a novel about Elizabeth I during her half sister, Mary's reign. I know that no one knows exactly what it was like, but I like to look for novels about it. So far I love it, and I've noticed something in the authors writing style that I truly adore. It something I dearly lack in my writing. See the book is on medium size and the first chapter is five pages. In five pages Elizabeth was escorted from one of the palaces, taken along the Thames, and into The Tower. Seriously, it was so good, I got the most vivid picture in my mind. The author had many writing blanks and it was incredible. The point is I would have had all that happen in a few paragraphs. So while I need to maintain my own writing style I want to learn from her writings. So I will learn history and how to write from reading this book. Talk about hitting two birds with one stone. Another thing, I usually read fast. Well, I always read fast, and talk fast, and think fast. So when reading this I was surprised at how solemn and slow it felt. All in a good way, but the point is I felt almost sad as Elizabeth clutched her seat as she sailed down the Thames, in the midst of a storm. That is what I aspire to do. This makes me excited because this books is the third, the other two are about royals as well. The second, I'm guessing, is about Mary I. The first, well, I just don't know. I had thought it would be someone in the Tudors, but based on the title and mini description thing, I'm not so sure.

Oh joy, look at those paragraphs, just look at them! They're so big. I love it! It makes me dance inside, I don't know why. A strange writers quirk I suppose. You know what? I lack variation in my descriptive words. Ha, see that? I'm practicing, even as you read, on using different words. Like instead of, love, I could say adore, as I did in the large paragraph above. It's those little things that can really make a novel shine, so I want to polish up the prologue of True Hero! Then again, maybe not. If I continued to dwell on past writings I'll never finish the book. On second thought, no. That document is closed off, from now on it's forward until I reach the last chapter. Until the story is complete. I mean, the only reason I'm editing it because I'm not exactly sure how to make it move on. Then again, yes I sorta do. I will only say the some of what I have written will be drastically changed because a phrase gave me inspiration, "When you lose someone is the moment you figure out you love them." I'm thinking a friend kind of love, not a relation ship kind. I would do a sisterly love, that would be best, but frankly that doesn't fit with the plot. That quote, said by whom I don't know, just struck me in just the right spot. I figured out something that had been missing. A hole in the plot that had been covered up, to look okay, yet it wasn't. It's coming together in my mind like nothing has before. I can see it in my head, what needs to happen, the heart break, the happy times, the fearful times. All of them, in perfect balance. Now, I just have to do it. That would be where the word comes in. Maybe I should go write now.

So while watching an old show called, The Love Boat, I had sudden inspiration for a future story. What if I wrote a diary styled novel of someones life on a cruise ship? Wouldn't that be interesting? Haha, not a person who makes the rooms, on our cruise that seemed to be all they did. I feel bad for them. But wouldn't that be interesting? Oh yes, I'm going to be getting the info I need to write the novel that used to be my changed NaNo novel but now it's just a nameless novel and my NaNo novel lays dormant among the thousands of documents of Heirana. It collects dust while I try to perceive it's future. Poor thing, it's got potential, but right now I need to pour my all into True Hero. If I don't all momentum could be lost and it too would be hidden among the scrolls, for who knows how long.

So I finished Daughter of Venice and I gotta say, I really, really, like that book. It was just, well. Realistic. Most of the time I dislike books about the rebellious one, the girl who was raised knowing her birthright and what she needed to do, and that if she didn't she'd mess everything up for everyone. But then she'll go and do it anyway, in a period where girls have worn dresses all their life they despise them. They just, ug. But this, this was different. True, she defied , but is such a way. I mean she was caught, in the end I felt guilty of some crime just reading it. She did the right thing, she wasn't selfish. It was so, moving. I mean it just, in a way it's so much and so little. I really don't have anything bad to say about it, I usually don't have anything bad to say about any books. If I don't like it I don't finished it, that's pretty much the end of it. I don't have time to waste reading books I don't like.

Oh my gosh, I just want to compose! I know, I've got everything I need, but I need more. I need to better learn the program, which I'm doing. But I'm impatient, I want to make a song now. Time, that's what I need. Time. I'll figure it out. I want to try and make a theme for Jade, from True Hero. I figured you can learn more about a main character if you pick what instruments their theme would be, what their room would look like, what type of animal would they be? Animals has characteristics, so match them to your character. So far I've just done the instruments Jade would have the most. Chimes, piano, violin, and vocal. All those instruments are delicate and sad, perfect for Jade. Haha, if I gave you her description and you'd read some of what I'd written you'd think I was talking about two different people. But I'm not, Jade is one of a kind, and I need to make her shine.

Well, this post is longer then I thought. In any case, the paper and pen calls, so I'll be outta here. Okay, okay. The computer calls, I don't write by hand, I think I gave a complex explanation on a previous post. But I do like the smell of in from one of the pens I've got. It's such a sweet smell.

Silence in the Snow

Ah, I've been waiting for you. At long last you've snow yourself, after all this time. After all those months.

I suppose I should specify what I'm talking about, see. That part up there, it's talking about The Silence and the snow. I've been waiting for snow, and now we have two inches covering everything! I'm so excited, I love snow. Oh! For me at lest this is the first snow of the year! Yeah! I just love waking up, and through all the windows there's a bright glow. Even though snow doesn't emit light it makes the world lighter, and softer. I just love it. Now, to talk about The Silence. They are a creature from Doctor Who. I learned about them from in... 2012 I think. We were camping with friends, and Emmalyn was telling me all about them, although until recently I didn't know what they were called. When you look at them they can tell you to do something, and then when you look away you forget that you saw them, then you just do it. Like post hypnotic suggestion. So yeah, that as well is really exciting!

Gosh, I love River Song. From Doctor Who. I wish, well. I just wish she'd be more regular. But I wont say any more. Spoilers (see what I did there? No. You didn't. Maybe? Haha, it's a quote of River's).

I also love how at night the snow makes the darkness softer and more, welcoming. See, ah. Well. This is embarrassing. No it's not! Haha! Back on topic. I'm sorta afraid of the dark. But with good reason! Well... sorta. See, I know there aren't monsters and I don't really believe in ghosts. But you might say it's more, fear of the unknown? Sorta like how though I can swim if I go to where the water is really deep then I get scared. I'm not going to fall, but it's like I could. It's a weird quirk of mine. Don't even get me started on when your in the ocean and can't see through the water when you're out deep! Oh my gosh, I was on a float-y thing and drifted to far, gosh was I freaking out! The sea is awesome, but there's many creatures in the murky depths. So yes, I'm afraid of the dark. Sometimes. Only sometimes. It's... complicated.

So I created and have been going slightly pin happy on my new historical boards for all the usual. Sadly Eleanor of Aquitaine has only one pin. But hey, she was from the eleven hundreds. I don't remember exactly. I could look it up on my MAE history, but I won't. Speaking of, I need to make a post there. Hey, maybe I'll customize it like I have been with this blog. I wish I could have a tab per person, then I could customize each page specifically for them. But that would require a lot of work, and to many blogs. At the moment, not including the one I already have for all of them I would need to make... seven blogs. Yeah, that's a bit much.

It's morning. Nothing has happened. I have nothing to say because it's morning, so I don't have anything to say about my day, because it hasn't started yet! Okay, technically it has but I immediately went to post about The Silence and the snow. Okay... I don't think I needed to explain that. Even so I shall press forward and try to figure out something to say.

Food. Egg sandwich, toast, buttered toast. Salted butter toast. Yes, I'm hungry now. But I could have yogurt. Homemade, see we get Greek yogurt, then I mix in honey to get ride of the bitterness and then I pour in frozen blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Then I mash it together like a madwoman, tada! Yogurt.

So I just read one of the Hyperbowl and a Half posts. They're quite funny, especially one about a renegade tooth. Although many of the posts have bad language so I don't usually read them. But the point is they use really cheesy drawings to "animate" so to speak, what they are saying. I think that's so cool, I can only imagine what my posts would be like if I did that. Haha, that would be. Yeah, crazy. I need to find a unique way to animate my words, but not just pictures, not gifs, not ridiculous drawings. But something.

How?! I don't get it, I've got this red scratch on my knuckle. But I have no idea how it got there! This happens way to often with me. Scratches just appear, I didn't hit my hand, I would know. Maybe it's having cats. I've got two of them, and with cats comes scratches. For various reasons, so maybe I've grown accustom to tiny scratches from them, because I'm constantly finding a new scratch on myself! Seriously! Oh yes, did you know that half the time when people are scratched by cat's they are doing it themselves? Yup, human instinct it scratching themselves. Half the time. Totally true, because it's human instinct to pull away when a cat sinks their claws into your skin, like if you pet them and they grab you hand. You're scratching yourself. If you fight the urge to pull away then you come out scratch free, I ain't kidding. It's actually pretty cool, makes me feel like a boss when I do that!

Did you know, I like cats? Love em' actually. They're so cuddly! Why, just yesterday morning Koko woke me up, after I had a heart attack from my alarm clock, then fallen back asleep. He was purring loudly, he's known for that. The he proceed to lay with he, in his stiff way. See, when cat's are really excited they get stiff and purr. So sometimes he'll rub on my leg, and I'll move, and his hindquarters will his something. It looks funny because he's stiff. Back on topic, he was in my face, rubbing on me, purring, licking my face. I don't mind cat licks, they's not slobbery. He was so cute, re-positioning every few seconds. Then when I got up he stretched on me, like three or four times.

Well. This post is longer then I thought. Tiana and Daniel are going to clean the kitchen, so do I run and eat while they're cleaning, or wait till after? Hmm, I don't know. I'm hungry, so. Yeah, well see.

The Great Author

I took a quick, to see what Jane Austen heroine I was. Just to clarify I don't really read Jane Austen books, just not interesting. But I decided to and gosh was that quize right! I ended up being Catherine Morland. I have no idea who that is, but I think she's pretty, so that's a one up. The description goes as follows: You're enthusiastic and adventurous. You want to travel the world and see everything you've read about or seen in movies. You're obsessed with pop culture and sometimes (okay, most of the time) prefer fiction to reality.

Let's think about that. I do find myself fairly enthusiastic, I try and be positive all the time. I'm also adventurous, although not to extreme. The part about wanting to travel the world and see everything I'd read about or seen in movies? SPOT ON. I don't think it could have gotten any closer, places I want to go include, Paris, Austria, Bora Bora, England, Sweden. That doesn't even go into all the specific places I want to go! Now, the part about an obsession with pop culture? Eh, not so much. I mean I prefer upbeat music, but my favorite kind of music takes too long to explain. I like Celtic, duh. Not old swing. I mean, it's okay. I guess. The part about preferring fiction to reality? Book wise, yes, fiction is great. But I also really like reality. HISTORY is in reality. REAL places to travel are in reality. So I'd have to say I've got a fairly healthy balance between the two. :)

Heads up, this post might be short.

So I've been editing chapter one of True Hero. It's coming fairly well. I'm trying my hand at humor, just a little. I don't want to scare people by having to many power spurt in the beginning and to much... sadness. Yet that plays into the plot so much. Finding the perfect balance will be a challenge. I have no doubt about that.

I'm so excited, there's 29 books by my favorite author that I need to read! They all sound amazing! Especially one about an Eskimo girl in a dog sled race. Oh, and one with Pocahontas and Sacajawea. They all sound amazing, and are all by Scott O'Dell. Although he wrote a few books with a woman named Elizabeth Hall. One is about dolphins! :D I'm so excited. Although one book, Kathleen, Please Come Home, has sorta bad reviews. Apparently the main character runs away from home and either gets addicted to drugs or meets someone who is. Yeah, drugs aren't appealing, but I'm not going to base it off one persons review. All the rest of the books sound like the great stories I know Scott wrote. Yes, he's dead. It's sad, but he was old when he died. He was born 1898 or something, then died in 1989. Yeah, I think that's is. That would be why his writing style is much older then many books. Gosh, I love his books!

We Make 'Em Spicy!

Tiana just bought two Nancy Drew games we don't have! :D I'm so excited, she got Alibi in Ashes and The Captive Curse. I can't wait to play them! Ahhh I'm so happy!

So I've done four book reviews now, the two newest are Island of the Blue Dolphins (of which I just found out there's a sequel!) and The Westing Game. I want to go crazy reviewing books, but I'll try and limit to two a day. Since that's how many are shown per page. I just love messing with my blog, it's so... fun. Oh yes, the favicon appeared on Archives of Heirana. Yay!

Daniel and I played a few games today. We had out Webkinz, Kokopelli and Lenny, play battleship, Zigity, and Zooreka. Daniel picked out all the games. Then we're taking a break, after Tiana, Daniel, and I will play with all out Webkinz up in the living room.

Yesterday I made an outline of what I'd already written on the first chapter one True Hero. Now I'm going to re-write it soon. I tried writing an outline for chapter two, but it just wasn't turning out as easy or good as the first. I focus on detail in those, when really I shouldn't.

Oh yes, tonight we are having buffalo wings for dinner. I don't remember if I like them, I think I did when they weren't spicy. Because when we make 'em spicy, WE MAKE 'EM SPICY! Course, they aren't ghost pepper spicy. I don't think I'll ever eat a ghost pepper. Sad to say I'd make a horrible Mexican because I can only tolerate salsa. I love salsa, medium spice.

Not that it really matters to you readers, but it's been some time since I wrote that last bit. Yup, I went and played Webkinz with Tiana and Daniel. We're planning to play more tomorrow. Tonight we plan to play Nancy Drew, in my room, in the dark. Hehe, that'll be fun. Kreepily fun.

I say to many words with squiggly red lines under them, such as yay, haha, favicon, kreepily. Allthose have read lines. Very disorienting at times. But alas, I must endure them because I'm to lazy to get ride of them all. Yeah, I know. That's kind of sad.

I was listening to the Frozen soundtrack and one, I can't wait till Tiana gets it. Two, that soundtrack is what really urged me to buy Magix. I adore chimes. And low rumbles. It makes me think of the background music played in the the Epic Mickey Games. So yes, I love chimes and cellos. Well then there's violins and don't even get me started on every other instrument on Magix. I can't wait to finally make a song, I know I will. Maybe I'll do that after I'm done with this post.

So I figured it out. In True Hero I'll make a goal to have a minimum of twenty chapters. A large goal, I know. I'll also have a goal to make each chapter a minimum on 2500 words. Then I'd have a 50,000 word novel in the end! That'd be awesome. Especially since the last 50,000 word novel I wrote (okay the only one I ever wrote) was 96 pages long. Yes, that's how big it was. It's so cool to look at. But ah. Not to read. In my eyes it's somewhat terrifying. But yes, that would be my ultimate goal. So far my prologue meets that quota.

Okay, that's it. I'm going to work on chapter one of True Hero right now. Gosh, I really need a better title for it. It's second title, Unharnessed Power, doesn't work anymore. Eh, it's complicated. I'd try to explain it but ah, I ain't giving the plot away. No sir, not me. I'll sip it.

I have officially decided not to sign my name in Ogham at the end of each post. It just doesn't fit.
