There are going to be a few but big events--for me--happening next month.
My other blog is holding a short story contest that ends on Valentine's Day! I've gotten one story already, and I'm a little nervous as to how many I'll end up with. Well, give it time and a blog will get bigger!
New Orleans is having a Comicon!!!! Whew fangirling so hard over here. It's also next month, 7-9th of February. I'm going as Dauntless from the book 'Divergent' by Veronica Roth. My sister is going as a character named Penny from 'Doctor Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog' and I'll be going as the hero one day, Hammer.
Lately I've been feeling so inspired. My friend and sisters went with me to see 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty', which was really good. I'm not giving any major spoilers but Walter travels to a couple places and I'm just sitting there like, "yup, guys I'm going."
So I can't wait to be having yard sales, work, and Farmer's Market to earn money to travel. I tell people I'm too young now to travel all those places, but you can save up when you're younger. It will make all the difference when I'm older, I know.
I want to go to Machu Picchu, Peru, most of all. Ach. I went and read my brothers' blog they did from that 6-month motorcycling trip through South America. And then I went on Pinterest and looked at traveling pins. And then I went and counted my moneys.
Well, I'm not going anywhere now but I really want to.
You can come too.
Life is an adventure.

happy new year
as I write, fireworks are going off, one by one with a loud POOM.
I have just finished watching 'The Reichenbach Falls', the last episode of season two in Sherlock. I'm a bit of a wreck at the moment, and I can't believe that I'm going to be like this soon, as I'm nearing the end of Merlin and someone told me that when their friend finished, they were a complete mess. *reminds herself not to join a new fandom soon as there will be more wrecks* *does it anyway*
I finally finished my Five Glass Slippers submission and sent it in. What a relief!
season three of Sherlock will be airing on U.K. TV tomorrow and the U.S. gets it on the 19th, I 've heard. AUGH.
I still haven' t been able to watch the Time of the Doctor (last episode of season seven) but my friend found the clip where *spoilers here* eleventh Doctor regenerates*end spoilers* and now I know for sure that I'm going to be another mess soon. I started tearing up from that one little clip.
WHY, Steven, WHY. I blame all future wrecks on Steven Moffat.
yep. very happy new year.
anywho. that's all.
(DESOLATION OF SMAUG. Go see it if you haven't.)

why, hello there...
Hullo, readers!
We've been ridiculously busy over here; Christmas is only five days away?!
I only have one more gift to get, people are piling in...I still can't believe Christmas is in the next few days. Last year it dragged by!
But I might know why it's gone by so fast...
When we got back from Tampa, Michelle and Christie with Michelle's two boys came over from Virginia (Christie spent Thanksgiving with them) and Stephanie came over and then we decorated...we had to wait until almost the tenth of December to decorate because Michelle wanted to decorate with us.
Then Stephanie left and came back with her brother and we 'splored New Orleans some more; saw the new movie 'Frozen' and walked around a place lit up with lights everywhere; played card games and laughed too much; and watched movies. I finally watched 'The Mummy' too!
Stephanie returned her brother and came back with 'Star Trek: Into Darkness', which I convinced Rachel to let me watch as well. It was amazing. I loved it.
Then with friends, we went to the New Orleans 'Celebration at the Oaks' at City Park. City Park is a place for rides, but Celebration at the Oaks is not only when you can ride the rides at night, but it's completely lit up. It's amazing. We rode the Ferris Wheel and it shut down when Stephanie and I were near the top. (needless to say it got working again) We had the best view, and though we were a little bit scared, it was magical. I mean, that's just the memory of one of life's mini adventures. I loved it!
But whew, the month...it just flew by. Guys, I'm still in shock.
I have a favorite actor now. I had a couple, yes, but this time I can pull one out, out of those. Augh. Tom Hiddleston.
And to end this post, a giveaway!

This is him in Delayed Gratification with Cookie Monster, which is hilarious by the way.
He drew a picture of himself as Loki to make money to donate to charity; look at him! He's so pleased with the drawing he took of picture of it. He named the drawing '"Loki" by Loki'.
One more picture.
He makes me laugh all the time because he's so silly and laughs at himself all the time.
Seriously, I've never seen any guy as polite, gentlemanly, and hilarious (and sweet) as Tom Hiddleston. He really is.
He loves being Loki; while other actors are like: People assume things about you because of the roles you play, even when what you act like on-screen is not true about you at all.
Then there's Tom Hiddleston (of course, he's Loki): (off-screen) KNEEL BEFORE ME! I have an Army! I am the GOD OF MISCHIEF!
He has so much fun.
And to end this post, a giveaway!

This is his completely silly personality showing. I'm serious, I used to do my silly smiles just like that.

i like to roam around...
Whew what a busy last two weeks! We went up to Zephyrhills so my dad could teach for three days. We had a wedding right afterwards, and on the day of, my dad, Sam, and I hiked 9.1 miles right before we had to get ready.
Then we had thanksgiving at my uncle and aunt's house. That, as usual, was so much fun. Suddenly we're home and it's been a week since the wedding! WHAT?
Now it's Christmas!! YAY! We were told that we're not allowed to decorate until my sister and sister-in-laws could come home, which is sometime next week.
I decided that to pass the time after school while I wait to decorate, I'm going to see Catching Fire and watch lots of Merlin. Hey, I did a lot of socialising at Thanksgiving. Now I disappear into my world of writing and drawing and reading...and watching Merlin and Doctor Who. I MISSED THE DAY O F THE DOCTOR!! Noooo! I'm determined not to see it until Christie can join me...
Geronimo!

2 and 1/2 years...
Hey y'all!
Guess what.
I've had this blog for two and a half years. Since I was eleven!
My blog has really grown a lot this past year. It started out really small, and for those of you who followed me when I started it, thank you so much.
Upon looking at the posts I used to do, I cringe. I was really annoying. I might still be annoying now, but hopefully, not that annoying. Yikes.
Anywho, to celebrate, I'm hosting a giveaway! A Congratulations To Myself I've kept this blog and a Thank You So Much For Following My Blog (especially if you put up with me when I was younger. Ugh.)
To enter, you have to be a follower; the widget will tell you.
But, if you would, I wouldn't mind if you told a couple friends about it! People like giveaways. I like giveaways. I like winning them too.
I'm giving away a handmade item, made especially for you! A Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice quote bookmark. I hope you likes!
a Rafflecopter giveaway
Take the Jane Austen Quiz for an extra entry! (click link)
Also, for anyone who has not read any Jane Austen books, I've made the giveaway where it ends in 1 and 1/2 weeks to give you a little time to pick up a Jane Austen book; after all, you want to name a favorite quote and movie to gain more entries!
One and a half weeks is also plenty of time to tell other Austenitis' about the giveaway, too.
It's not super special but it's fun to do and bookmarks are the best!
-If a book is well written, I always find it too short.---Jane Austen.
update--I realized that I wrote 'how ardently I love and admire' instead of 'how ardently I admire and love'; I'll make another one correctly and send it. I probably drove some Austentitus people crazy!
Also, I can do blue with orange or blue with purple colored bookmarks!
