I Am Graduated!

Hey everyone! Long time no post! I don't know what my excuse was for not posting sooner. I guess it was because I was working or whatever, and I don't know if I'll be able to post as frequently as I used to.

I got a job as a library page! It is really awesome so far. Though I have only been there for a couple days. I have been reading the shelves like crazy! "Reading" the shelves is basically when you read all of the books in that section, including the sticker on the bottom (with the numbers on it and such) and then the whole spine and title and everything. You make sure that they are in the right order; a good order, and then you straighten and make sure they aren't so very tight and so on.

I also do a lot of other things. Like pull holds--that's when you get holds that will be sent to other libraries in the branch--and shelve other books and comics and DVDs. I think the Audio Visual are my favorite to shelve. I have found a WHOLE bunch of movies I would have never thought of looking at before while I shelved them. So that is a pretty awesome thing too!

I've got a bandage on my finger so it is really hard to type. Haha.

So, besides that, I have finished school! I won't have to ever go back to High School again!! I have also been watching the anime BLEACH and Downton Abbey. And yeah, I am obsessed with both of those shows. It's ridiculous. Hahaha.

I've also been on Twitter a lot.

Hmm.

So that's about it!

I hope everyone has been having an awesome time while I was away.

I'll be back.

Hey Ho Everyone!

Hi everyone! I was able to come to the library today to use their internet, so here I am!

Nothing much has happened in my absence. I joined Twitter, but not much happens in there. I have about 7 followers...and nobody really talks to me. But I can post as many pictures as I want of Loki, and no one will judge because I don't have any followers!

MAN. I missed you guys. Pinterest, blogger, all of you!

I only have 17 more days of school left and then I AM DONE WITH HIGH SCHOOL!!! WOO HOO

NO MORE SCHOOL FOR ANNIIIIEEEEE!!

YEAH.

I'm pretty excited about that.

RETURNED I HAVE!

Hello, I am back. I am sorry for the lack of posts, but somehow, I just haven’t been in the mood to blog. I haven’t been on the computer much at all. I joined a summer reading program (2 actually) at the library and I have been, you guessed it, reading.

 Besides that, I have been writing like, all the time. I have been trying to get somewhere in my character development and plot. It’s hard when I am trying to drive the plot when there is really no villain. I mean, he began as a villain type, but I decided against it. I don’t know how mentally stable he is going to be, but everything he does, he believes that it is good. So, I don’t think that’s really being a villain so to speak.

I have been staying up until midnight working on these types of things. I listen to the soundtrack The Phantom of the Opera until I know every pitch and every word. I have gotten pretty good at “Think of Me” in both ways that it was sung: with Carlotta and her soprano and accent and then with Christine and her high notes and softer, less overpowering voice. I love The Phantom of the Opera. It was pretty late when I first saw it. It was on a PBS station, the Broadway performance. It started at 10pm and I was up pretty late watching it. I thought it was amazing. So, after months pass and such, my sister gets the movie version from the library. I watched that twice.  The Phantom is portrayed by Gerard Butler, I believe. And I am still thinking whether Raoul’s actor sung better than Gerard…I don’t know yet.

Yeah, it is a little creepy, the whole thing, but I think it’s awesome. If you listen to the lyrics real close-like, you get a better picture of the Phantom and what he is trying to get. I read a comment on the internet somewhere that it was a bit, uh…stalkerish, I think that’s what it said. Yeah, maybe, but not in a creepy, "I look at your Facebook page every 6 minutes creepy." That was an example…I don’t really know anyone that does that, and I myself is not on the Book of Faces…so…

It’s a different kind of stalking. One brought on by loneliness and love and a tortured childhood.

So there.

 I also have been listening to other things, like different movie soundtracks and just music in general. I have been trying to listen to a wide range of music. I found out today that there is like a secret, non-existent track 13 on One Republic’s Dreaming Out Loud album. It’s basically just a jazzed up version of track 4, Apologize.

I have listened to The Hunger Games soundtrack, and that was pretty good. All of the songs just screamed Panem, District 12, the Games…everything. And the Civil Wars are on there, so really, that's a no brainer. The only one I didn't really like—and that’s mostly because I am not into the beat box, rock and roll, blow your eardrums out music—was The Ruler and The Killer by Kid Cudi. I liked the Maroon 5 song on the album, Come Away to the Water. That was cool.

I have also been trying out stuff like Jason Mraz and Owl City. I couldn't believe how much I was digging Owl City’s All Things Bright and Beautiful album. That was amazing! I wanted to dance so badly!! :D Out of the Jason Mraz stuff, I have only listened to Love is a Four Lettered Word. That was a good album. 

Yeah.

That’s about it.

I finished reading “The Looking Glass Wars” and I have found out that there is a screenplay in the works for 

it. SO YAY! It was a really good book. Really good.

~~Natsu~~

Just a real quick one.

Well, I have a load of Library books to read. There was a book sale yesterday and...I will save that for another post. Today, I just wanted to say that I will be back--probably around Tuesday or Wednesday. Also, I wanted to post this because it made me smile.

Nori and Bofur. As it would seem.

Have a great Holiday weekend.
We thank those who do so much for us!
Happy Memorial Day!

I wish I may, I wish I might...Lists??

 So, this weekend was a great one. Spent Sunday in my sweatpants, on my couch, watching Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Pretty good, pretty good. That being my first time seeing it, I thought it was really good. Davy Jones's crew, however, were very creepy. But, there is nothing wrong with that.
 
  For breakfast, my sister made, okay, to explain this, I am going to need to break it down.

•  First she made French Toast. Ya know, dipping bread slices in a egg/milk/spice mixture and then cooking it.
• Then she put American cheese, and bologna between two slices of French Toast. Much like a sandwich. 
• After that, she put the sandwich on the griddle and let the cheese melt.
• Unsure how it would taste with syrup, we each cut a bit off and tested it.
• Finding that syrup was, absolutely amazing with it, we covered the whole thing in the maple-y, sweet stuff. 
• In the end, it was completely and extremely AWESOME!

To be continued...

Bored. Honestly.

 It is almost 10pm. It's not unusual that I am not asleep by now. I guess I am like one of those masked night-creatures...Oh yeah, Raccoons. ☺



 Today I went to the library-gosh, I love that place--and I got two more books from Tamera Alexander. I had recently finished Beyond this Moment. Wonderful, extremely wonderful. I loved it. The Sheriff was my favorite character. Heh... Honestly I didn't think that I would find an author that I liked as much as I like Karen Witemeyer. But Tamera is GREAT! I love these books.

 On the topic of books, I was actually thinking about starting a book blog. Where I can post my thoughts about the books I read. Maybe that's a fall project..

  A few interesting things I found this week. The OVER music video, and the new trailer for Disney's new movie 'OZ'--which by the way, looks COMPLETELY amazing! The producers are the same from Alice in Wonderland. It has been made pretty clear that I LOVED that movie--I can't wait to see OZ.

  Here are Blake and Oz...

  I was watching the trailer, with a quizzical mind-set. (If that makes any sense.) I had seen that actor before. Turns out, after brain wracking and finally Googling it, I learned that the actor is James Franco   I only really know him from The Spider-Man movies as Harry Osbourn. Which, I think is cool because he could be Harry OZbourn..THE GREAT AND POWERFUL! That's me being..ADORKABLE. (Heard that term on Jeopardy! and I said, "That's me!" LOL.)  I am glad that they decided to go with another actor and not Johnny Depp. I have NO problem with Johhny, but I think it would seem too...Mad Hatter-y? It's good to give others a shot.

 The side of his face reminded me of Micheal Keaton though. But then again, everyone reminds me of Micheal Keaton. That and Jim-Bob Walton. Everyone remind me of both. Either really...Which reminds me, looking through things to watch on tv, I clicked by the SYFY channel and instantly yelled Micheal's name. It was him in the end. It's pretty easy to recognize him after watching Jack Frost every Christmas...The movie was called 'White Noise'--or something to that affect--I didn't stick around though, I wish I did. It looked...creepily cool.

  I didn't expect this to go on as long as it did. I have dug through yet another Naruto Manga...Awesome stuff. Kakashi gets cooler and cooler, and more strange, every time I see him. I though my favorite character was Sai...Hummm.....

 Goodnight to those in the BLOGOSHPERE!

 You'r now tired-of-typing, book reading, movie watching, anime reading,

  ~*~*~*~*~`~*~*~*~NATSU~*~*~*~*

Is it only Wednesday?

 My week has been totally weird. I mean, yesterday felt like a Saturday. But it wasn't so we have to continue on with the week.

Yesterday I went to the library and got three more books by Karen Witemeyer. I am reading now, To Win her Heart. It's really good so far. I am still trying to get used to the characters after being comfortable with Meredith, and the Archer clan.

Speaking of clan- Fading Echoes, from the Warriors series, by ERIN HUNTER- was very good. I hate to hear though when something happens to my favorite cats. Mainly Firestar...

 Anyway, the reason I wanted to be here was to post 'Even if it breaks your Heart.' By The Eli Young Band. It has become a habit that every morning I end up turning Froggy on. The first song I heard was this song. And when I learn how to play my guitar* I am going to attempt to master it. :D

Have a good day ^_^

NATSU♥

*Being that I will introduce my guitar soon! 

Wednesday at 12:30pm.

At the moment I am eating some Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. The greatest lunch of all time. And I think there will be a Peanut Butter and Banana sammy coming my way as well. 

  Any-who, yesterday I was able to go the library. It was really cool because we had to stop right on the road because there were two peacocks walking across. A male and his wife probably. The male's head was this amazing blue color, but his tail feathers weren't up so we didn't get to see that. But it wasn't something you see everyday. I think that had to be the strangest thing that ever was on the road to block the way. There was a cow once. You hear about cows blocking the road and they do that on cartoons and stuff, but it's actually funny and somewhat of a "oh my gosh," moment.  

 The last book I picked before I checked them was this book here to your right. 

Short-Straw Bride by Karen Witemeyer. 

 Now I only got to read 10 chapters of it since yesterday evening, but it's really really AWESOME! I mean if you're into the cowboy/farmer/ stuff such as that. Kinda like the Love Saga movies. If this is what is in the "Inspirational" section, I will be coming back for more.

 Other books included, 

Avalon High. (I can't remember the author but I saw the Disney version of it. It's a shame they don't play that one anymore. Not recently anyway....)

Stolen by Lucy Christopher. (Never read it. We'll see how it goes.)

One of the newer Warrior Books. By Erin Hunter ♥

And the other I can't remember the name of it.  It was about a wolf...Go figure. Every time I go and get books, I get one about wolves. 

 Have a great day!
