Night Photoshoot with Minion

 I had Katie over to spend the night and do some photo-shooting! Credits to her and me. Editing credits to her. Peace!

 Us chicas having fun

 Hey look there's a camera up there! *typing without looking because I'm watching Full House*

 Isn't she gorgeous!? Look at those eyes!!

 Katie didn't want to take the time to take a picture of this beautiful, fragile egg shell. She mostly wanted to squish it. "I shall call it Squishy, and it shall be mine...and it shall be my Squishy."

 If you look really close, you can see a demon rabbit. With fangs.

 Whoa I'm a floating astronaut trippy babe!

 Teehee!

 For some reason this looks like it was taken, intending it to look like it was some drunken party. Do you get that feeling? I don't know why. It's chute doe!

 Slow shutter speed for the win. It's a musical note!

 Haha see her gum?? Nasty ew.

 And yes that shirt DOES have fringe ALL over it! I'm a flapper!

So there we go! It was a lot of fun, but we both got so bug-bitten! I've been itching for days. This was one of our more typical sleepovers. You can see pictures from an odder (that's not a word) one next time. We also laughed and yelled "bottom" and gossiped and snapchatted peoples and flooded peoples' inboxes til 3 in the morning. Then we slept in a crib of pillows and blankets. So that was fun!

The two of us together are like flame and gasoline because we are so explosive together.

HASHTAG SUMMER

Katie = Minion

Oh look!

I have a blog! I totally forgot! Actually, I haven't forgotten, because it's been hanging over my shoulder like a raincloud-that-hangs-over-shoulders. Not that I don't want to post, but I didn't have anything to say. Now I do.

Aren't the Olympics amazing? I love watching them. And I mean hey! They're in London.

School (CC) starts next Monday. I'm excited about doing it again, but don't want it to start now! The classes are going to be split up differently, and the people will all be different. I'm not afraid; I rarely am, but am apprehensive. I also need to finish geometry and prep for the PSAT and ACT.

I got a "real" job! I'm working at CFA, and so is my sister and best friend here in AR! My bro has been working there for a while. I'm super excited about having money again. I'm in debt with my parents, aaannnd kinda all of my siblings, soooo.

Take a look at-well, actually don't-at my stats on Goodreads! I am so behind in my reading challenge. I haven't sat down and read since a car ride! I should wake up on time occasionally so I can be productive, but I'm waiting for Fall to do that. Seriously, if I was just a llama, nothing would be this crazy.

I can't do drama this semester. That is, scheduled, curricular drama. The other kind will be prevalent I can already tell.

This is probably my favorite painting, not that I really know much about art. It's the Nighthawks if you didn't know. I want a copy in my room someday.

Speaking of my bucket list, I have so many things on there that I planned for 2012! I saw a CO sunrise, wished on a dandelion, visited Four Corners, went to the Grand Canyon, rode in a double-decker bus, got a job, rode on a rollercoaster, finally visited my friend, rode a massive zipline, got my permit, watched The Avengers, bought a bunch of new books, bought new clothes, went to Disney, watched The Hunger Games, wished on a shooting star, and saw The Dark Knight Rises!

I randomly decided to count how many new movies I had seen this year from my movie list, and I had watched exactly 50! Weird. Now I've seen 51 or 52, but still. Isn't that an amazing mash-up of Batman and the villians? wow.

Well, I'm off to go do mega-important things. I'll probably just eat, but hey, that's important!

I'll try to stick around. Oh look! Krill!

Balloons

It's June! *rejoicing*

My birthday is the day after tomorrow and I'm partying tonight! We're gonna watch Howl's Moving Castle, because 1) I love that movie 2) A few other people coming love that movie and 3) Those who haven't seen it need to be educated. We're also going to eat and play Catchphrase. Did y'all know that I'm beast at that game? I really am.

Not so beast at driver's tests. I failed my permit test this morning. It wouldn't have been a bad idea to read 1) all of the 2) correct booklet. So, I failed my first test ever. Literally, ever. Oh well. At least the rumor that bullies start about not being able to drive alone until 18 if you don't get your permit before 16 is false.

I bought new clothes today because 1) I needed them and 2) I'm leaving for CA soon! I might post pictures at some point after I get each piece approved by Daddy and the Brother. I got a red knee-length dress that is the pattern of bandanas! I also got a grey skirt with green and purple stitching. What else? And a green dress, but I don't know if it'll work.

The cake.....is Batman!!! *theme music* Yes, a(n almost) sixteen year old girl had a Batman cake and is going to watch anime for her "sweet 16". Whatcha lookin' at, punk??? jaykay!

I've been reading a lot on mah new Kindle Fire! I've read Miss Peregrin's Home for Peculiar Children...

 and two Lowry's: Gossamer and Gatherine Blue. I loved them all, but the one with the picture representing it was my favorite! I do enjoy reading Lowry though.

I'm off to go put balloons on the mailbox! I'll be back when "I'm sixteen going on seventeen..."! *music*

the Avengers!

This is really late, sorry.

Anyway, I went to see The Avengers the week it opened after a recital with some friends. We were all together and very much in need of epicness, (who isn't?) so we went. And it was late. And it was fun!

 That's, from left to right, my crazy older sister, her bestie, my bro (not biological brother, but Bro), my older, crazy sister, Moi, the Bro's big bro, and the Dude, who happens to be the Bestie's big, younger brother. And we're loitering...

"That's what you call ironic!" Kudos if you guess the quote.

 This is what happens when you ask your big sister you take a simple picture of you with a poster! I'm not wearing the same thing as above because I'm a rebel, and wore my Avengers shirt to go see THG the second time, which was when this was taken.

That's better! Over >> there

The same thing happened, this time with the Bestie, who was told about the tradition. Yes, all you can see of me is my hand and part of my water bottle. Anyway, I'm super excited about this movie and have a major crush on JGL, so... too bad you can't see him.

 I finally got a picture with Captain America!

I don't want to technically review The Avengers, not feeling qualified, and besides, haven't you already read a bunch of reviews or seen it yourself? I rest my case. I also wouldn't be able to give you first impressions because I have already seen it again!

The plot, action, and humor were all amazing! I laughed so hard, and only called a few of the lines. I can't decide if that's a good thing or not, because I love the feeling of power when I do. Moving on...
Unfortunately, I haven't seen Thor or Iron Man 1 or 2, so I didn't understand everything, but being able to figure things out relatively easily, it wasn't bad.

Okay now, here are the questions and answers that came from James and Jacob, who tagged me:

1. Favorite Video Game

I don't play videos games. I would like to, but we don't have a system, and I would waste a ton of time!

2. Favorite Live Action Fiction TV Series (not comedies)

I also don't really watch tv, but I love White Collar. We stopped keeping up a while ago though. :*(

3. Have you listened to an audiobook? What was your favorite? (I'm paraphrasing!)

Yes, I've heard Around the World in 80 Days and Wind in the Willows on tape, yes tape. They were both good, but that was a long time ago.

4. Do you believe in Bigfoot, UFOs, or ghosts?

I pretend like I do! There might be something to Bigfoot. I don't believe that there is intelligent life on other planets. I do pretend to believe in ghosts and love ghost stories!

My favorite sports team is the US Olympic Team.

It's the bomb and absolutely epic.

I haven't seen many in theater, so probably Captain America.

I like them. They're not as good as OT, but the TPM is what I grew up with. I don't hate Jar Jar either!

9. What movie quote do you use most often in normal conversation?

That's not an answerable question. I don't think most people would believe how often I reference movies. I would love for someone to count someday... if that were even possible

10. Do you like or dislike older movies in general? (before 1980)

Love 'em! I love the oldies!

Boots of all types

So we all love boots, right? I like to wear them personally, but not as much as I like to look at them! It's almost funny how many different types there are. There are girly boots with pompoms, pirate boots, cowboy boots, and many others. Here are my favorites that I can think of or find pictures of! I know you're going to take them even if I say not to so... Feel free to steal these pictures! :)

Here are Batman's versatile boots (and entire suit!):


Here are the Han Solo boots of cocky-ness:


Flynn Rider's cool boots, unfortunately in a very un-manly pose:


This next one is my desktop background right now! (I think I stole this one):


IRL cool boots! Hope to wear some similar ones in my career!:


Jedi boots!:


Narnian boots!:
