Kind of Cheating

I am cheating today. I'm just going to do a fill-out and then tag people instead of doing a real post so that I can write. Er, try to write. (I will also post the answers to my quiz about ME that I made on Facebook.) If you are reading this, consider yourself tagged. You can do the fill-out in a comment, on your own blog, or you can pretend you never read this and quietly leave without doing it at all.

I'm in the weirdest (well, one of the weirdest) moods ever. I have Darth Vader's voice stuck in my head. LOVE HIM.

Anyway. Fill-out (ironically, some of the questions are the same as the questions on my quiz... wonder how that happened :D):

Actually, on second thought, I'm just going to post my quiz like a fill-out, and y'all do it, too, okay? So, it's basically just like a tag only the questions came from the "How Well Do You Know Kendra Logan" quiz.

1. What is your favorite pizza topping? Cheese :) I'm a baby.

2. If you could be anything for a day, what would it be? A boy. A close second is invisible. That would be so cool. You could go around tripping people all day and they'd never figure it out >:D

3. What is your favorite boy's name? Cavender, followed EXTREMELY closely by Drake and Kade.

4. What would you be willing to eat for 10,000 dollars? Virtually anything as long as it wasn't a peanut product and you paid me up front. SHOW ME THE MONEY.

5. What mythical creature would you want to be? Psh, EASY. An elf. (I'm already half, so not far to go there ;))

6. You have a weakness for...? Books.

7. If you had one day left to live, how would you live it? Trying to figure out how to prevent my death.

8. Your favorite author is...? Hilari Bell. (She wrote the "Farsala Trilogy".)

9. Are you good with violence in movies? Yup. Bring on the blood and guts.

10. Are you a good liar? Yes. I'm good. (And, no, I'm not lying about that ;))

11. What is your favorite fast-food restaurant? Subway, closely followed by McDonald's.

12. Do you have any siblings? Yeah, Lizzy. She's 12 and 1/2.

13. If so, do you get along with them? Sometimes.

14. Who's your favorite Disney movie villain? Jafar. He's actually evil and actually smart instead of being one of those stupid bad guys that falls for every trick in the book.

15. Who's your favorite Disney movie prince? Aladin. VERY closely followed by the Beast.

16. You're a sucker for...? Brothers.

17. What time are you usually in bed by (in the summertime)? Midnight, usually.

Okay, now, fill it out! Looking forward to reading your answers :)

Top Five

Sorry. I haven't been posting. And I can't now either because I'm really tired and it's "late". Just a few things:

1. Practicum went well.
2. Having three little sisters would kill me (will elaborate later).
3. I got asked if Daniel was my older brother six times, which made my day.
4. We're watching Star Wars (we got that for my dad for Father's Day ).
5. Hate Chewbacca, love Darth Vader (what else is new?)

Okay, I have to go :( I'm being kicked off the computer because I sort of never made my bed this morning... :D TTYL!

My Obsessiveness, and I Meet My Own Character!

Hmm. Not much to say.

*sigh* I can't stop thinking about "Star Wars." I'm such an obsessive person. I feel everything about ten times stronger than your average person. When I love something/someone, it's way more powerful and crazy than my friends. The same with everything! I get really into books and movies. I was the number one publicist for "Twilight"! Lol! I go through phases. They usually last about a month. Some things with me never change though. I'm not completely a changing person. And when I do quit having an insane interest in something, I don't start hating it or anything. The spark is just gone. BUT, if I read the book/see the movie/come in contact with the person, the passion will return! Always does. Ask Darth Vader :) (LOVE THOSE MOIVES.) Oh, and guess what? I just realized today that I've been spelling my favorite villain's name wrong! It's "VadEr" not "VadOr."

School is.....bleck. I don't understand physical science and I'm putting off asking for help because I know I'm already behind...I don't want to call attention to the fact that, well...I've slacked. Not a ton, just a little, but still. *sigh* And I'm getting deeper in confusion by the minute...Not smart, I know.

Writing "Creepy Story" is going pretty well. I'm at sort of a dead end, but for some reason that doesn't bother me as much as I guess it should...

Oh my gosh! Something crazy happened yesterday! Okay, so, there's a character in COJ (Chronicles of Jeolotoe) named Ember Smokeman (she's a fire fairy, lol). She's an incredible dancer and is an entertainer for the Fire Lord. She's spontaneous, hilarious, and intense. Well, guess what? There's a girl in my dance class that's just like her!!!!!! It scares me! The girl (McKinna) looks exactly like I imagined Ember, acts exactly like Ember, her VOICE is just like Ember's, people like her just like people like Ember, she's funny like Ember, and she dances pretty well!! (Ember dances better though.) It's soooooo creepy! I feel like I brough McKinna to life! I know that's crazy and I didn't, but it's so weird! I feel like I know her so personally. I feel like I just want to walk up to her and talk to her for days on end. I feel like she IS Ember, and I want to have a face-to-face conversation! You have NO IDEA how weird it is. I honestly feel like I've met my own character. I've never actually talked to McKinna though. She's a senior and I'm a freshman, so I'm not sure if she would talk to me...It's still crazy though.

Well, that was a loooooooooong post! Sorry. You're probably bored stiff (if you've even made it this far into the post). I'll stop. :) TTYL!

Return of the Jedi

Best movies ever.

Darth Vador is just so amazing.

Luke is awesome.

Ya gotta love the whole twin thing.

Darth Vador was awesome.

The persuasivness of the Dark Side is so much better in these movies.

Darth Vador is just amazing.

Yeah.

My Speech! (And more on DV)

Today was seven-minute-to-be-said-from-memory speech day. Guess what?

OH YEAH! OH YEAH! WHO DID THE WHOLE SPEECH WITH NO HELPS? WHO PUT EMOTION AND EMPHASIS IN IT? MEEEEEEE!!! Lol! Not trying to brag, I'm just happy. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought.

Class was almost canceled for "winter weather." Psh. Riiiight. We got absolutely NOTHING at my house. Although, granted, in the city area where class meets, there was some decent snow. I'm glad we didn't cancel though. I actually like class. Not school. Class. Big difference, lol! (Although I do have like three favorite subjects, haha!)

Hopefully we will be watching "Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi" tonight. (At least I think it's "Return of the Jedi...") Gosh, I hope we are!! Lol, I feel like a serious nerd :) I can't help it, though. I am such a sucker for good villains. Darth Vador is way at the top of my "Awesome Bad Guys" list :) For some reason I always like the villains best. At least usually. I don't know why...I'm just weird ;)

Well, I've had this throbbing sinus headache all day, so I better go before the computer brings it back :( Ttyl!

Shur'tugalar, "Soup-er" Bowls and Darth Vador!!

Guess what? I HAVE NINE FOLLOWERS! Who woulda thought nine people care what I have to say?? Lols :)

Well, I went to my church's Super Bowl Party tonight. It was fun. Not as fun as it's been some years, but still fun. Usually I end up arguing with someone over something and it all ends up being really exciting and crazy, but this year we've all apparently matured enough to be past that stage :) Everyone brought a crock pot of soup. My mom made killlllllller baked potatoe soup. I pigged out :D Four bowls full!! Wow. Lotsa starch. I'm surprised my fingers aren't too stiff to type. Haha, okay, sorry; that wasn't even funny at all. I'm just still hyped up on caffine (I can't spell) and I'm tired.

The reason I'm tired is that I was up really late last night because I had this idea for a story that would leave me alone!! I don't know if that ever happens to other writers, but sometimes I'll get an idea that just DEMANDS to be thought through. And I have to shake off the drowsiness and think about the plot and decide whether or not it's good enough to pursue. Usually, it isn't, but I always end up getting something out of the exercise. Like last night, the plot was debatably sucky, but I like the names I came up with: Cosa (COS-uh) and Degan (DEE-gin/gan). I don't know, maybe I'm the only one who likes them...oh well. I do :) Sometimes I even semi-act out the first few chapters of the story. I know, seriously, when you thought I COULD NOT get any weirder, I blurt out something like this.

Ooooh, I have news!! Okay, I don't know how many "Inheritance Cycle" fans read this, but I sort of follow the fansite, http://www.shurtugal.com/, and yesterday I found something awesome: they're looking for staff! There was an open job position for a columnist! I totally applied. I hope they'll let me do it *bites nails* It's just the kind of thing I would LOVE to do! Writing, humor, "Eragon;" does it get any better?? I don't really know how funny I am, but to be able to write about "Eragon" in a semi-formal job position, I'll try a lot of things!

I'm pretty sure there was something else I meant to say...yeah, I'm in a talkative mood. At least this time I'm actually SAYING something instead of mindlessly blabbering about personality quizzes *rolls eyes* :) Well, talk to ya later!




OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I remembered it! (Be proud of me) I was going to say that we're watching the original "Star Wars" movies as a family, and Darth Vador is awesome. He's such an amazing villain. So cold and terrifying. You never know when he's going to strike. And he's so nearly-incincible. And thinking about Anakin's face under the mask makes it better :) Alright, Hayden Christenson can't act his way out of a wet paper bag, and his script is terrible, but he still looks pretty darn good :)

I hadn't seen "Star Wars" since I was seven and Han's getting tortured freaked me out (yes, I couldn't stand guys screaming even then). Well, I want to be able to write villains just like Darth Vador. My own villains disappoint me. If I ever met him, I would be very afraid of Darth Vador (or Durza or Sarumon ), but not MY villains. My villains don't scare me in the least. Does anyone else have that problem with their villains? Is that natural? Or am I just not very good at characterizing evil in a scary way? Hmm...
