School for my district has been in session for two weeks now, and man was it awesome! I've got friends in each of my classes except one, which is weird since I walk with one of the girls to it, and she's in the same room, and then we're on opposite sides of the room and so don't talk. Weird, huh? But, I've got at least two in each class, and in a couple, there's so many that I've already gotten the evil eye for 'being distracted.' Wasn't a major problem, and I resolved it in time, so I'm still good.
The classes I'm most excited about are Writer's Workshop and Drawing 1. I'm already fairly rounded in each of those areas, which I love to do, and we do nothing but write and draw all day. Sweet, sweet freedom. And to top it all off, I'm not a freshman anymore, so my status is increased, and my friends and I can pretty much sit wherever we want in the big gym(really big) and in the cafeteria, including the coveted stage! It's like the whole place fades away, and there's plenty of rooms. It's luxurious indeed.
Though, I did finish reading the next installment of the Nicholas Flamel series: The Sorceress.



This was a book that explored a lot of different perspectives, which is a refreshing and interesting take on keeping up with the activities and emotions of all the main characters. There were individual adventures that I really liked, since they all fully explore the personalities of the characters and the element of fantasy involved in this storyline.
I am in the midst of reading The Necromancer currently, and, dismissing all review-related thoughts concerning that installment, this is the best book of the series so far. so much hinges on individual characters fighting for whatever motives that are carefully developed. A great selection of the series!

Inception Review :-)

I'm not very creative when it comes to blog posts, as shown by the title above. But, I know I've not posted for a while, and there really isn't an excuse this time. *shrug* But, as I promised, here's the new movie review:



Yes, Leonardo DiCaprio's newest blockbuster is out, and this movie rocked! In a LOT of different areas too. Makes sense though, since this movie deals with lots of different areas, specifically dreams. The movie is essentially dealing with the human subconscious and dreams, or specifically, layers and layers of them. This is a very tricky subject in any forms of storytelling, but the movie pulled it off very well.
The acting fully brought out the characteristics of the characters in this story, which was very important so that you could understand the gravity of the events. There was a wide range of situations that forced the actors to put on their game faces, everything from tragedy to comedy to action. It all fit nicely into the story and the acting made it believable.
This story is one I'll remember for quite a while. Everything is always shifting, sometimes depending on how the characters feel, sometimes depending on how they want their dreams to look. It's a story you can just loose yourself in and let the imagination run wild. Fertile ground for further story ideas too! Though, I'm not saying you should copy it.
Bottom line is that you should go see it right now!
So, school starts tomorrow, and I've got my schedule already, I keep hearing things about how its gonna be tough, but I already knew that. So, if I'm prepared, what could go wrong? Huh, that's what I thought last year with math, and that grade was on a roller coaster.
Plus, My IQ test results should be coming back soon, and the person in charge said that its already pretty high. Woo-hoo!

IT'S BACK!

Check out this website if you want to learn more, but here I was, minding my own business, when all of a sudden I notice an update on the Avatar wiki. It mentions something called Avatar: Legend of Kora, and all of a sudden I'm thrust into an Avatar wonderland!
Premiering next year(not sure what month, people), is a brand new series that follows the events of our favorite Nick show: Avatar. A new Avatar, new cities, and of course new people(the gang isn't in this one)! Mike and Bryan are working on it as well, so rest assured that it's going to be a hit. I'm excited now!
So here's the big part of this post that I promised yesterday!



Yep, it's Sorcerer's Apprentice. This won't take long, because I don't want to spoil this for those people hoping to see it.
I highly recommend seeing this movie if you're a fan of fantasy. There's great use of magical instruction, artifacts, and mythology. The characters could use a bit more development, but they're so caught up in the story that you seem to ignore those tiny flaws. The affects are spectacular, and the story flows at a logical pace, doing some unexpected stuff. There's something for everyone here too: romance, action, magic... You know, all the good stuff! Bottom line: go see it!

New Stuff!

Not all of the two pics are going to be of the new stuff, but I can still talk about them. First up is a new composition, one that isn't quite finished just yet.



There is only a slight outline of the tree found in this pic, so sorry if you can't see it right but this is a hand holding a tree on its side. I just thought of this off the top of my head.
I've been drawing trees a lot lately. Refining my technique, drawing gesture sketches, figuring out how to make the leaves with the pencil, etc. Great fun! plus, I've got a new book about drawing techniques and media. Most of the techniques are shown individually in the composition, so it's a bit simple compared to what I'm aiming for, but the book makes use of them fairly well.
Gesture sketches are explored a lot in the book too. And those little things are pretty interesting. You can use a combination of either crude lines or shapes to map out a figure, or you can leave it aloen and imagine the possibilities!
Anyways, here comes a new book review!



So, I've reviewed the first book in this series, The Alchemyst, and so with the completion of this one I wanted to contribute my thoughts to my blog.
Nicholas Flamel and the Newman twins arrive in Paris, and the action picks up from there. This book moved along so fast that I was thinking the author had split in the first one in two. In some cases, that's a bad thing, but for the most part, I loved it. The author, Michael Scott, provides such details that makes every turn of these stories enjoyable. He switches perspectives and locations fast enough that you never know what's going to come next. It also makes it somewhat easy to peer into various characters' personalities.
The fantasy aspects of this installment were broadened, introducing various characters from history, fierce creatures, and an all new form of magic. It's a must-read for fans of fantasy, and quickly brought the series to become one of my favorites!
Speaking of fantasy, my next post(tomorrow) will feature my review of The Sorcerer's Apprentice. But on to other matters. The new Leonardo DiCaprio movie, Inception, knocked Sorcerer flat on its back. I hate that statistic, but Inception DOES look pretty freakin' cool! You can add that to my list of movies I want to see, I guess.

New Compositions

Well, I've had a couple of new ones for a while now, but I'm only just now getting on the share them with the world. I have a Deviantart, as I said before, but the procrastination on there is lot bigger. Anyways, BEHOLD!



So, i made the real ceramic mask that this composition is based on when I was in elementary school, and I dug it up looking for stuff to draw. See, I had done a similar still life drawing in sixth grade with the two drama masks, but it was lost to the heavens*dramatic pause*. So, it's back and better than ever. This was a composition I put together mainly to test my finesse when it came to textures. See, I don't know whether i shade at the lowest points of each individual part of the texture, like a bump's highlights and shadows. This was just an exercise to get me used to that.
And my art palette hasn't expanded since my last post, but I have been using the drawing trees book a lot more often. The techniques on the leaves are VERY tricky indeed, my friends. It goes on to explains gesture sketches, and rough shadows, plus the way you mark with the pencils determines the quantity and shapes of the leaves. For all you art folks out there, you can understand me, right? Erin, this means you!
So I'll be posting some new stuff soon, including a great new mannequin compostion and my attempts with the trees. Ha, that makes it sound like I failed at climbing trees or something. I'm out.

I Have Returned!!!

It's definitely been a while since I've posted, but not as big as that fallout last winter. I can't even remember why I was so out of touch. Anyways, one of this summer's biggest movies, on my list, anyway, has finally made it to the review session. Yep, The Last Airbender was the movie I saw first thing on it's premier, though my friends weren't around so sadly they didn't share this horrendous experience with me.



Yeah, so if you suffer from chronic heartbreak, depression, anger issues, anxiety, or mood swings when it comes to mistakes dealing with your fave franchises, then I suggest you skip this entire section of the post. *REVIEW BEGINS HERE*
I had high hopes for this movie. I mean, you look at the promotional material, commercials, and the epic trailers and think that they're going to include the essential characters and storyline of the show's first season. WRONG! First off, many, many, MANY characters were missing. Sure, you could have gotten rid of Haru, The Fire Sages, and Chief Arnook if you wanted, but destroying the lives of many characters is heartbreaking.
Here's a list of characters that were eliminated that I feel should have stayed: Haru, Jet, Bato, Chief Arnook, Koh(Why did they write him off? WHY?!), Bumi(:0), Roku(insert anger issues), Suki(crying), and Jeong Jeong. It's awful. Some of these people come back and provide the backbones to the story. And the story IS demolished in the movie. There is ZERO character development. So remember the great personalities we all fell in love with? GONE! The Kyoshi Warriors were even planned to be in the movie, but then cut at the last minute. That's what I call pathetic. I'm still not sure whether I want to waste my money in buying the DVD.
*REVIEW ENDS HERE*
So, now that this traumatic experience is over, we can listen to the vast arsenal of art supplies I've got. You all know of my huge collections of colored pencils, which has grown by at least fifteen new colors and values by now. But now, thirty-six new variations of colors have joined the pack. I got them on my birthday(yay), so you may or may not know that. Also, a similar pack of pastel pencils, with a small assortment of plain pastels, are in the collection. Today I bought a twelve-pack of shades of graphite pencils, with one more hat was one degree over the pack I already have.
There's much more, including Newsprint(an accident, actually), Bristol Board(yay, again), charcoal pencils, kneaded and normal erasers, a mannequin, and an assortment of drawing books. Ahh, I'm in good shape now.

No Pictures?!

Yeah, sorry about that. But, my camera's missing in action and that's kinda sad because i had an absolutely hilarious photo of my friend dancing to the Spice Girls. Have you seen something like that? It's almost like cross-dressing, just weird. The night that happened, last Saturday, was also my birthday! And oh boy, do I have some stuff to post about that!
There was a lotta stuff, and I'm thankful for it all. There were two large sets of colored pencils and pastels, which definitely expands my palette of colors. Later over the weekend I got some drawing books and finally Bristol Board! :0 So yeah, I will be shaping up my artistic skills this summer. Also, I got some money and the complete season 2 of Avatar on DVD! That may sound like a dorky thing to flip out over, but REJOICE! REJOICE!
Man, there's so much news for Airbender that I'm not sure if I'll remember it all, and if I do that I'll feel dumb because I'll have someone complain of not having all the cool stuff. So, here's the deal: Check out the Avatar wiki for all sorts of news, including new pics and a TV spot with MOMO! Finally! Here's a link to the very first clip of the movie on Yahoo movies. I love that website just because it's so useful for everything movies-related. And don't worry, Sokka is DEFINITELY starting to liven up in these new TV spots. And last but not least, the release date has been moved a day early: July 1. Yeah, that's not big, but still!
If I find the camera, there will soon be a new pic of my latest and greatest artwork! So you have something to look forward too now!

New Purchases

Today we picked up a familiar little contraption known as the Wit Balance Board. And what does that go with? That's right, Wit Fit. Well, in my family's case, the Wii Fit Plus game. I have never played the original, so I'll just start with this extended version of the game. There's strength training, aerobics, reflexes and balance tests, all sorts of games to help fitness.
But one of the things that I am DEFINITELY looking forward to trying is the Yoga. I've always been interested, but never really taken the time to research the poses and actually DO them. I can do the tree pose, and the one where you are like a bridge; that's probably called the bridge pose, but I don't know for sure.Martial arts have been a strong interest to me too, but again, commitment issues or something. Hopefully my uncle can help train me though, since he used to be a karate instructor. However, I don't know if I should do karate or kung fu. Kung Fu is more circular, and I love directing my arms like that. I'll just have to find out!
And, I finished the Alchemyst. That is one of the best fantasy books I've read in a LONG time. Warrior Heir was good, but it's a slightly less standard of a novel than this one. Anyways, Alchemyst starts off faster than many books I've read, and ends just as quick. There's tons of great storyline, magic, characters, and battles in between, and the description of the tale and everything thing relating to magic is SUPERB! I highly recommend it. Now, I'm looking for the sequels, The Magician, The Sorceress, and The Necromancer, and buy them. And did I mention that I need to buy another bookshelf? Well, I do.
Stay flamin'' hotmen!

Here Comes A New Review

Once again, I have a very large poster to mark the name of the movie, so this is the I-stop-talking-and-I-get-straight-to-the-review part of the blog!



The legend lives... literally. This was a flat-out epic, awesome, amazing, fantastic movie. I laughed, I nearly cried(a BIG deal here, people), stared in awe, and held my fist in victory.
There certainly has been a lot of great movies this summer, but I would say only Iron Man 2 comes close to topping this one, and it's still number two in my book. So, first thing I have to say is to get over the hype about this being just a remake of the first. That is very true, but it is fresh, funny, all-around great to watch. This movie has elements of action, drama, adventure, romance(little), tragedy(I guess that's drama), and even tiny hints of fantasy!
The acting is good, though in some situations you would question it. It works for the individual roles in the movie however, and so comes along smoothly. The story is the same, amazing one, and there are great shots and locations to contribute to the scale of the movie. It is very inspirational, as always with the karate kid, and made me feel like I could pick off a few baddies myself.
A few instances in the movie are a bit unclear, such as seeing a photo or the characters doing something without much explanation, and so force the imagination to work. It works in this movie though. It deserves every amount of praise it gets!
I just wanted to end rather dramatically there, sorry about that. But check this out!



I haven't posted anything Lego that I've searched for in a LONG time, but this was so, so beautiful I, I had to continue!(notice the incredibles pun?) And if anyone is out there paying attention to this blog, I need some suggestions on some drawings. I have a few in mind, but nothing's really struck gold yet.
Plus there was a new Last Airbender TV spot playing on the TV behind me a few seconds ago, and Katara speaks, Appa shows his face, and Sokka gives his trademark WOO-HOO! Man... this is going to be SUCH an epic movie.
I'm out(woohoo!)

Let It Be Summer

Ah... Finally. No stress... no school... no homework... Or so we kids and teenagers wnat it to be. Lately, I've been gettign the vibe that we're still going to be doing academic work, like being forced to read and stuff >:-p. Yeah, eek. Well, I have my devoted fans(of the blog anyways, there aren't many, if at all) to serve as a witnes to these covers:





As you can see, these are some cool-sounding fantasy titles, and they've been out for a while, but apparently I've picked up the urge to start a private library or something. The Warrior Heir, which I've finished, is very well written if you like fantasy in a modern setting, and I'm just getting into The Alchemyst so I can't provide feedback yet. I personally hope the sequel to The Warrior Heir, The Wizard Heir, expands the large palette of great fantasy exhibited in the first one. It has a lot of potential, and I really hope that fanfics aren't the ones that live up to this.
I have a large list of books I'm going to buy, once I get the required money, of course. To name a few, there is The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Chronicles of Narnia(the big fat black book that has all seven), the first four Harrys in hardback, Dragonology, 100 Movies to See Before You Die, and obviously the other installments in the books described above.
Plus, my blog has undergone some updates, as if you couldn't already tell. I like this format because it makes it a bit smoother in the feel of it, and the notebook page in the background says... well, you can tell. So, I don't have a pic of my latest and greatest composition yet, but it is coming soon. It's done by the way, so it won't be too large of a wait!

I Promised

I know, I promised to show you these a long time ago, but I was so hyped up on the Prince of Persia stuff. Well, here they are now, my final compositions that made it into the county art show this year(I've got stuff in it for three years now.)





Hopefully the first one is Aang from Avatar and the second is my magnificent mannequin drawing. I've been screwing up the picture formatting lately, though I don't know why. Anyways, back to my stuff, Aang was sketched then painted, though I'm not sure what kind of paint. My former art teacher, Mrs. Henke(HI!) said it wasn't acrylic, and that it was a really tough one to use. The name just isn't coming up right now.
So, my second one, nicknamed Manny by my peers, was my pride and joy when I got it completed. And though I didn't see him for five months while my teacher stored him for the show, it was well worth it to hear the praise at his arrival. It's drawn in one of my best mediums, graphite(power to the pencils!), and a paint brush was used to smudge the shading. That technique is great, if you're wondering.
Going back to PoP, I found out that the sequels to Sands of Time, Warrior Within and The Two Thrones(both sound epic), are rated M. So I can't out and buy them on my own now! From what I hear on the IGN review, Warrior Within doesn't quite live up to the Prince of Persia name, but on the other review, Two Thrones knocks that one on its tail, but still doesn't comply with Sands of Time. That's the one I'm most interested in, because the Prince's story, saving his girl, whooping the baddies, is infused with an internal conflict, taking the form of a dark prince(:-0). The Wii game Rival Swords is an extended, less gory version of the same game that I will definitely be buying, along with Forgotten Sands.

My next composition should be up here the next time I post. 'Til then!

He Is Royalty, After All

Make way for Dastan, Prince of Persia! Now as a minfigure!



So for those of you who have been paying attention to Lego's marketing and new sets, you will know this was the cheapest set in the Prince of Persia line. And, there probably won't be any more until the second PoP movie comes out. Oh yeah, that's right, there's gonna be a second one! Jerry Bruckheimer has signed a deal to make a trilogy of these movies, which is a little weird because the fourth game in the Sands of Time world, The Forgotten Sands, is out now. That's gonna be one of the big things I want for my B-day coming up on the 19, that and the Complete Season 2 set of Avatar on DVD. Go ahead and call me a nerd, but this is what I like, so deal with it.
So, back to these guys. Dastan is obviously the one with the two wickedly awesome swords, but the others are Hassansins, real BA villains in the movie. The one with the spikes on his hands and shoulders is Setam, an awesome member who can shoot spikes from his gloves and throws tons of them. The other, with the ax, well... I don't know his name, but he was cool in the movie as well. The best Hassansin is Zolm, the leader and handler of snakes. Supposedly, he can throw them out of his sleeves!
My aunt gave me some news about publishing. She has a friend who published her third book recently, so I can get details about the process now! Woo-hoo!
So, take a look at these:



These are some minifigure stands I came up with myself. Unfortunately, I don't have the parts to make 80 of them, so only the best of my collection can make it on these, be they the rarest or coolest. I'll give you the rankings next time!

I'm In A Tree...

...Not on a boat!



Hello! I'm in a tree!
Well, technically not right now, but I'm in the same tree about five times a day, sometimes sleeping in it even. My sister likes to climb up in it too, much to my irritation. I mean, have you guys ever climbed a tree? It's not something you write down steps to, right? Apparently, she requires step-by-step instructions as to how to move every little arm or leg. And when it comes to taking a risk, the ride ends there.
I don't know about her, but I like to swing freely in it. It's peaceful up there, plus its fun to find different places to sit and lay, though most of the places have forks in the branches, and so press into... uncomfortable areas.
Plus, check this picture out!



This is a picture of about 73 minifigures. Yes, I'm throwing in the towel in building and simply building my collection of minifigures. most of them are licensed characters, like a whole bunch of Indy and Star Wars. But, some original Lego themes are there too, like Johnny Thunder(some wannabe Aussie Indy), Mars, and Movies.
Tomorrow i will have pics up of some new Prince of Persia minifigs that I'm buying, plus some stands I making for some select favorites out of these.

Let's Throw It Altogether

There's not really a specific theme to his post, so here goes. I was a little bored yesterday, the TV was taken, the computer was occupied, my brain had fizzled at the moment during my writing, so I came up with these beauties:





I, using musical theory, have created order out of chaos. Okay, sorry for the Sherlock Holmes pun, but I was so bored and then so into creating these that it seemed like a very eccentric thing to do at the time. Those are quarters too, if you can't see. I'm thinking about drawing something like that, now that I've made a sculpture like that. They're destroyed now because I ended up putting too much on there.
And now for my first official movie review! Wait, I did one for Iron Man 2, so I guess this isn't that large of an event. oh well, here's the Prince of Persia review:
There are definitely some things to work out with this movie. The story was a very fluid and fast-paced, with a lot of traveling in between spots of flashbacks and important moments. Yet it seemed a little too fluid. There was no time to wonder 'what's next' because it moved forward too quickly. No questions or buildup of plot was required from the audience because it set it up for you. Basically, a movie meant to entertain, and nothing else.
Jake G. and Gemma A.'s acting was superb. They definitely put a lot of thought into the dialogue and that is clear by the great chemistry their characters' relationship seen on screen. that was definitely part of the movie I enjoyed. And when it came to dramatic scenes, no boring monologues were included; it went off very well.
The action was grand. Just as promised by the commercials and trailers, the fighting, swordsmanship, miscellaneous weaponry, and parkhour seen here seems hard to beat in movies to come. And the effects, I'm talking about the dagger, are great. They definitely made the scenes more enjoyable, just to sit there and gape at the coolness of it.
This is a movie simply to entertain, and nothing less.
Yeah, because this is the same one I posted on Yahoo, there's not many spoilers here, so that's why I didn't throw in the alert. But if you want to find the official Yahoo review I wrote, you'll have to have fun on your own.
So I'm considering broadening my minifigure collection now. There's some new Lego PoP sets out, and some of the characters are just superb. Money's always a problem though, so I'm not sure when I'll do it.

Next time I PROMISE my art show stuff WILL make it on here!

Guess What I"m Going to Do Saturday!


I'm hittin' the movies, that's what! So me and a few of my buddies are planning to see Prince of Persia(if not already guessed by the giant poster of Prince Dastan up front on this post) on Saturday, and although it's a Mattinae, or however you spell that word, it's still going to be awesome to spend the first real day of summer hanging with my pals.
Speaking of summer starting, does anybody else notice all these weird celebration thingys they do on TV? I've heard stuff like, "the kick-off for summer!" "the unofficial start of summer!" "First real movie of the summer" Well, maybe the last one wasn't too bad, since it was on an Iron Man 2 TV spot. plus, there is a really convenient pairing of movies this weekend. Sex and the City 2 is premiering(ick), so the girls and guys can go see separate movies. That's exactly what my family's doing. Oh, you just gotta love summer. And it's only just started!

Good-bye for now, my peeps!

Sorry for the Sideways





Okay, I know the top one's sideways, but this is a huge project. We did these silhouettes in art class, and well, I obviously filled mine with bunches of random stuff. Go ahead, take a look, though I'm not sure if you can read the writing on it. And yes, that's in my room. Don't make fun of it either!
So summer has officially started for me. Well, as of tomorrow. Today was my last day, so I had to say goodbye to everyone and such. Actually, only four or so of my friends gave an actual farewell, so I'm a little frustrated. But hey, if they're friends, then you can always talk to them. Speaking of which, I'm going to throw a special shout-out to one of my best friends, Erin, so everyone say what's up. *what's up!* Sorry if that freaks you other readers out, but I like to say hi to my friends. Back off!
Prince of Persia is due to come out Friday, and I'm scrambling to schedule a day that my friends can get together and see it. I'm actually making an effort to get together with some this summer, so I'm feeling pretty good.
See ya later, and next time I'm have some stuff about my art over the past year!

Comic Book HYPE!



Aaah! Okay, don't freak out. After seeing Iron Man 2 and developing even more writing ideas(sigh), I found a website I must have been blind not to think of before: Marvel Comics wiki. Go ahead, call me a nerd, dweeb, a person with no life. But, I just like looking up stuff about characters from franchises I like. And so, the top people I searched on there was:

-Venom -Iron Man -Black Widow -Felicia Hardy -Spider Man

Not much, as you can see. I have a very tunnel-like range of likes and dislikes when it comes to comics. It's weird, because not a lot of forms of franchises do that to me.
And summer's coming! I'm able to exempt all finals, and in case yo don't know what that means, I can skip them! I might just get out a week early as a matter of fact. Oh, by the way, don't think I'm leaving without an Avatar pic! Check this out!



HAGS guys!

Suit up!




So as all of you devoted fans of my blog know, two of the movies on my summer movie list are out now. And, just last night, I got to see one of the top-ranked!
So, here's my review of Iron Man 2. *SPOILERS ALERT* The plot is definitely fast-paced, and that always keeps an audience interested, right? There is just the right amount of suspense and action. Plenty of gorgeous actions shots and sequences, let me tell you. And with lots of new upgrades to the suit, Tony Stark is better than ever. The villain, Whiplash, is a great addition to the screen, and those whips?! That's one BA super-villain for ya. All in all, four and a half stars!
The trailers for Robin Hood and Prince of Persia are still looking great. (the link for PoP is sadly not one to the trailers :-()
Oh man, I'll have to raise a fortune to see all the great movies premiering this summer. *faint*
And for my daily Inheritance Cycle report(cue corny new music), I've officially read the new chapter included in the paperback edition of Brisingr. Oh, didn't you hear? The paperback version has a new chapter from Inheritance Book 4 called "King Cat." It reveals a werecat king, the start of book 4(a battle!), grudging attitude towards Angela, and the overall importance and bitterness of werecat society.
SO EXCITING!

List of Awesome Posters









Just had to add some more. The credit for all of these is an OrlandoBloomFn

Just So You Know



I've made some changes to my Summer Movies list. If only my teachers knew I had a movie list instead of a reading list. HA!
-Oceans -Prince of Persia -The Last Airbender -Iron Man 2 -Robin Hood -THe Sorcerer's Apprentice -The Karate Kid -Grown Ups
I recommend the Yahoo Summer Movie Guide for referencing info on all your favorites coming out this summer. Great photos, clips, trailers, pics, synopsises. Did I really just write that word?
Plus, there's another epic Avatar fanart on DeviantArt I've got to share(see above for all you people who don't understand) I personally dislike Twilight with a fever, so I had to post this! And, DeviantArt is awesome anyways, so check it out, and once again, I am working hard on uploading my stuff.

"You complete me!"(Robert Downey Jr. is saying my goodbye his time :-) )

Get ready to laugh your heads off

Ok, I know I was on here a few hours ago, but check this OUT!

Epic Avatar Fanart Comic!

You will have definitely had to seen the show to understand the humor, but I was laughing so hard I was crying at this! or, maybe that's just because I that much of an Avatard.
See ya later!

To me, my fishies!

As you can very well see, there is a lot of new stuff on my blog today. Well, I added it last night but I doubt you guys waited up all night to look at it. But still, these fishies are AMAZING! The widget is by an Adam Bowman(Don't worry, I've never heard of him either), and they are absolutely positively awesome. You just hover you cursor in front of them, and TA-DA! Fake, firebending- no, wait, wrong pun. They follow you around. It seemed a shame to box them up on the side of my blog, so I moved their aquarium to a space above the posts. Hope you enjoy!
So in other news, I just keep cranking out idea after idea. I've conceived a new topic for a trilogy, a new play script, drawing compositions, and related things galore. Plus, I've signed on to DeviantArt now, though I'm not sure how to upload my stuff on there yet. Once I figure out how, however, I will let you guys know. Plus, the emoticons there are pretty sweet.

W.E.15 out.

Like the Writing Freak I am.

So I just want to say thanks to all of you who follow this post... Oh, who am I kidding? I'm less popular than a haystack! Wait, they have a figure of speech named after them, so, I... I really am less popular than a haystack!
Well, that probably sounded really weird. But, like the writing freak I am, I have come up with the rough contours for a story I think could be my greater besides the one I'm trying to get revised and published. It's has a very interesting angst/revenge plot-line, and from the way I'm working it out, it is going to be quite long! and I'm not yet decided on whether it will be fantasy or not. By the way, I'm planning on reading(insert British accent here) The Count of Monte Cristo over the summer, instead of paying close attention to it in class. Because if you're forced to read, what good is it? That's probably why most teenagers won't read a lot.
Peace out suckers, bu-kack!

It's... Threee-Deee...

Maybe that was a little too cheesy, but it was worth it, compared to my reactions to other 3D movies. Avatar's effects were alright, but they were demolished by How To Train Your Dragon, where the landscapes seemed to engulf you. It was a freakin' good movie too, what with the awesome plot and dragons. Some call it the movie Eragon was supposed to be.
Whoops, I'm going off topic. So anyway, I found this awesome new trailer with exceptional new footage, like the Blue Spirit, Princess Yue speaking, komodo rhinos(which aren't as good as they should be, cuz they don't even have horns!), new airbending, and FANG! Roku's AWESOME DRAGON!!! So now I hear that The Last Airbender will be released in 3D. In 3D! In flippin' 3D!!!
Then again, I don't know many fans of avatar who are as estatic about the show as I am. Well, a girl at my school and her boyfriend are, so... I'm not alone! All I can do is wait... And think about how awesome Book 2 and Book 3 will look as movies.

See ya guys later!

Hello... once again

I just had to throw out that title, as it was a pun from the Avatar commentaries I have here. I just want to say sorry for not posting, but my life's not all that interesting yet. That is if you bypass the dragon obsession.
So anyway, I'm almost through with an awesome series that I have referred to my friends and described as, "Percy Jackson mixed with the Inheritance Cycle." This is none other than the Fablehaven series... Ever heard of it?




So anyways, this series has some crazy stuff, like a demon dragon who has been disguised as a human, a shadow plague, a dark dryad, a seven-headed, ten-tailed panther with snakes on its back, and more.
Plus, the Avatar Season 1 Collector's Edition is coming out in honor of the movie, and I am so going to Best buy as soon as possible to buy it! Thank goodness it comes out after my birthday!
See ya guys later("Water Tribe...")

P.S. Sorry for those two Sokka puns above. ;-)

A Summer set for Movies

I know, i know, I haven't been on in a while, but that's because I didn't think anyone would want to read something weird that I wrote just because I was bored.
That's my hobby and I don't think many people enjoy it. But even though summer's only a few months away, I've still seen some pretty awesome trailers and posters for some movies I am going to try SO HARD to se this summer. To name a few:
-The Last Airbender-The live-action adaptation of the amazing hit series, the movie follows the adventures of the Avatar, Aang, and the first part of his efforts to battle the fire nation and restore balance to a world at war.
(I already know this is gonna be awesome, I've seen too many trailers)
-Prince of Persia-An adventuresome man finds a dagger that reverses time, and finds himself racing against time to battle the forces of evil in a medeival Persia setting.
(This is basically an awesome looking fantasy I've never heard of before; what more can you ask for?)
-Oceans-A great compilation of this section of nature and all of its glory
(I'm a sucker for great natural settings)
-Robin Hood-the classic
(Need i say more?)
Hopefully, these will all prove to be great movies! See ya later!

Now time for the slow dance...

I am REALLY confused. Alyx broke up with me... again. Not even a week, this time. I don't understand anything now, so I'm trying to isolate myself from her to minimize the worry and hurt. I won't get too personal on here, so don't walk away now.
Anyway, I think I may be close to taking a big leap in the process of publishing my book. Well, it's a draft now of course, but that's what I'm hoping it will become. Also, I may start drawing a huge mural of a dragon or two, maybe just a single, red one. Or maybe not. Oh, I don't know!
Plus, I signed up for Fanfiction.net now, and I'm hoping I can write some Fanfics based on the Inheritance Cycle(woohoo!). I'll write back when I have a few. Farewell friends... for now.

Time for the Happy Dance!

Okay... maybe the title was a little creepy, but Alyx decided to get back together this Thursday. We only spent a little over a week apart before we both couldn't stand it any more. I seriously think we are meant to be. I certainly like her A LOT.
Plus, I'm getting the rest of the first draft printed, along with the title, contents, and summary. All that remains is actually getting it published!

I'm Baaack!

So much for trying to keep up with this thing. I had completely forgot about until I found myself staring at the computer screen trying to think of something to do.
In other, news, my girlfriend Alyx, who I managed not to mention in the past four months we were dating, decided to break up with me about a week ago. I am really confused though, because she says she still likes me and everything we did, so I'll just have to wait and see.
In better news, I am, for the most part finished with the draft of my first book(or so i hope it will become) and are attempting to print it.
I'll try and post more on this though, besides the fact that I have three places I enter personal notes, messages, or ideas: my journal, my writing binder, and this.
