Living La Vida Narnian!

Wow, so much to talk about... Uh... Life is just crazy right now, so I'll give you some updates on me and then go all Narnian-y.

I went up to the lake a little while ago with a family with SEVEN KIDS. We had what I like to call the Great Narnian Debate, where my friend Steven got Lucy and Susan confused and pretty soon we were yelling at each other... There was a big wooden boat and I dubbed it the Dawn Treader and I had to be pulled away... Oh! And I was mesmerized by this lion! I stared at it for 15 minutes while everyone else ate ice cream! My mother dragged me away from that too. Um... I miss Janine, Ashley, Gracia, Anna Marie and just plain everyone so badly it hurts, and I cannot wait for June 6th to be a day of the past. Graduation on Monday, FYI, Purple Palooza/my part-ay on other Monday... Cannot wait for 'One In the Same' premiere, 'Paranoid' vid rocked, if you don't understand me right now that's good... Ta da!

'The Gentle' is soooooo unbelievably slow in coming. STILL waiting for suggestions, but alas... 'UNF3' is going well, and just wait until Elwen gets a taste of what is yet to come!

Okay, Narnia! Um, hate to say it, but I'm drawing a blank. I am a terrible person, I know, a selfish, bratty, loud, annoying, misunderstood person who just can't think straight right now and needs an Aspirin. We'll continue this later... I think.

Still Here

I have not faded into oblivion, I simply took a blogging break. Not very long, though, considering that my life right now is on a computer. Almost all of my friends mainly keep in contact with me through e-mail since I go to a different school or live in a different state or country or something, so there's my social life. Not to mention the fact that I made a major rookie mistake on my Girl Scout project, and now I'm paying for it. ("Curse you Frankish King Peppin the Short..." Oh, I shall be avenged...) Anyhow...

El and I had a lovely time last night. Let's see... She arrived at my house sometime after 3:00... Basically, the afternoon was spent with looking up videos on the Internet (Cherub Bootcamp! Yes!), NOT working on our 'joint effort' book, talking to Mr. Tumnus, eating pizza, and watching exclusive Demi Lovato footage from my Don't Forget Deluxe Edition CD/DVD package. Then we headed out to see 'Night at the Museum 2' ("Don't mess with him, he has a Tommy.") and my totally awesome teacher Mr. Ferdock showed up to pick up his daughter! I was fired from yearbook, but I was the last to go, but we're letting Murphy think she was the last so that she won't kill me. We discussed 'my future' (ohmygosh, you have to save me El, please) and enjoyed more Demi on the car ride home. Now Elwen wants to buy 'Don't Forget', mainly for 'Two Different Worlds' collide a.k.a. our theme song. And that was our evening!

Back on the Narnian front, I don't really have all that much to say. I still need help for 'The Gentle', so would someone please post a comment regarding the next chapter! I haven't had any time to work on it with this GS thing, and I messed up part of it and my leader is furious with me. I have been working and worrying non-stop, and I barely even remember what I wrote last.

My sisters (that includes El) have a theory that when that evil wardrobe fell on me, I was being called to Narnia. Perhaps? I will post more later, when my mind is clearer and I'm not in a terrible rush to get on the road. (*sigh* "I am so misunderstood." ( ;)

"A lady of Narnia mustn't keep babbling on about the Tommy gun during a movie, because they don't even bother to use it in the film." (Which they should, because then that 'Battle of the Smithsonian' thing would be over in a flash, and don't tell me they don't have ammo because somehow the first plane was able to fly more than 20 seconds so anything can happen.)

The Beginning of the End

For me, this is the beginning of the end. School is coming to a close, and I am getting really sentimental. Watching Mr. Ferdock delete all of our yearbook folders, finishing my personal yearbook page, realizing that Emma (AND Jack AND Jordan AND Katie) and I only have one more summer together. Yesterday in voice lessons, my Skandar fangirls and I were joking around in British accents. I must have said something about Sara getting Skandar which made overprotective Emma VERY angry. Although she is about 1 ft. shorter than me, she tackled me to the ground. (?) I'm going to miss all of the yearbook quotes (Most of them have to do with Skandar, which is what happens when 3 of your best friends are obsessed.) I want it to be summer and all, but now I don't want to let the past go. High school sounds awesome and all, but it isn't SJS. You know?

And imagine how it felt for all of the Narnian characters when they returned from Narnia. You have something so great and then... it's gone. Poof! The Pevensies, Eustace, Jill, Digory, Polly, all of them had to go to the beginning of the end, sometimes more than once. I believe that C.S. Lewis said something about how he didn't think that the children would have much of a problem getting used to their old world and in some cases, age again. But for me, the end is the saddest part of the story.

See guys! Sure, I cry a lot, but there is a reason!

My Diary

OK, so this isn't REALLY my diary. My diary kinda hasn't been written in since, like, months ago. There's nothing juicy in it. Although my old one... That might be used as blackmail. I had a dark past? Hehe... he... he... Actually, I just didn't have a title for this post. So... yah. Just some updates on me, the Narnian front, and other notes, ramblings, quotes, jokes, and more. I shall adapts El's points of interest again!

1) On a not-so-Narnian note, NEW JONAS BROTHERS ALBUM! June 15th, 'Lines, Vines and Trying Times'!!! I haven't even heard the new single 'Paranoia' (dead serious, El), but I know the video was filmed in the desert. ( ; I LOVE THEM!

2) "The Gentle". I am a little bit stuck on this one. I could take some suggestions if you have any. As usual (just like in UNF3, as it shall be temporarily called), I can forsee the future but am clueless about the present. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

3) 'Vlogging'. Elwen: that clip was hilarious! A few seconds that brightened my whole day! I think that Caterpillar Jr. is a'comin... do you think? Perhaps... I love the DLF, and I just saw Fiona today. She sings 'Ave Maria' like an angel, and I mean it! Viola: your vid made me laugh so hard, my folks thought I was crazy! You are such a pretty girl! (I sort of figured you would be, your being so awesome and all. ( ; Keep Vloggin', guys!)

4) My profile. Since nobody voted except for me (I was tempted to click 'I don't care, I don't even like you'), I'm just changing it. I'm sorry. The same elements will be there, but it needs some updating.

5) Narnia Thought of the Day. I was at my sister's soccer game today (gorgeous weather) and walking down the road to our car when I just thought to myself, "My gosh, this place is beautiful!" I felt right at home, and by home I mean Narnia. Call me crazy (most people already do), but I felt like the trees were alive and I was Lucy Pevensie venturing through a line of live trees on my way to Aslan (just my car...). The feeling drifted away when my sister stepped on my foot with her cleats.

7) Finally, the big news! My cheerleading try-out results! Wrestling, JV Football, and... VARSTIY FOOTBALL! I am still in shock! I never, ever, ever thought I was any good at cheerleading, yet I am one of the priviledged freshman on the team! Yah, baby!

8) I just realized... They actually call Peter 'Pete' a few times in the movie, mainly Ed. See, when I hear 'Pete', it makes me think of this old Italian guy I know, so I cracked up the first time and my sister kicked me during the movie. ("I think yours is done, Pete!" Miss you, El!)

Alright, I'll leave you all alone. Maybe I'll vlog someday... who knows? "It could happen."

"A lady of Narnia must try and remain composed and calm, or at least try to regain composure after screaming at the try-out results."

Games

Okay, this post is going to be totally unrelated compared to El's, but here goes. (PS- "The Gentle" is underway... I need to capture Susan's character in order for it to be good. PPS- 'Games' is a Jonas Brothers song. Teehee!)

I think our whole lives is a Trust Game. And I'm not talking about falling back into someone's arms (Elwen, don't get any ideas! Emma! Sara! DON'T!) or any of that goofy televised stuff. I'm talking about trusting your family and friends and strangers. Every day I wake up and trust God that things will end up being alright. I trust that my parents will be waiting for me downstairs. I trust that my friends will stick around, even though I still wonder what they're doing hanging out with me. (I'm so hard on myself!) I trust that a bunch of people I don't know will keep powering my house and growing food and keeping the Internet going so I can post. Of course, sometimes we misplace our trust. It probably wasn't a very good idea for Edmund to trust the White Witch. That wasn't a good idea at all. Then again, he did eventually come to trust Aslan. Now I'm going to go all Christian-y on yall. We trust all sorts of people to do all sorts of things. Humans (and sometimes even computers), who make mistakes constantly. But why can't we trust God? Is it because He's unseen? Or so great we can't fathom it? Why can't we trust Him? So... just banging that one out there.

On another note... I have a question for IASK (International Appeal of Skandar Keynes). Are you in love with Skandar or Edmund? Don't get angry, just an honest question! Let's see... Points of Interest.

1) I should be posting more Narnia stuff, shouldn't I? Gosh, I'm so self centered!
2) I'm so tired right now, I have no clue why I'm still writing.
3) WILL SOMEONE HUG ME? I am honestly about to cry. I get so emotional when I get deep into my Narnia mode!
4) Elwen's new blog format looks great. Can't view it on my home computer, but I saw it at yearbook and it looks fabulous!
5) Still crying...

Alright, I'll let you go.

"A lady of Narnia must try and not cry, even if Taylor Swift's gorgeous song 'Crazier' is making her misty eyed."

I'm Back!

I'm back! I don't think you guys even noticed I was gone. Three words: GIRL SCOUT SLEEP-OVER. 2 amazing movies, lots of warm cookies, very little sleep, awesome breakfast, donuts, Spring Fling, walking, and 6 hours at Knoebels Amusement Park. Then why was I still feeling lonely the whole time?

I blame you, Elwen Kirke! Hehehehe, it isn't your fault. But the sleep-over just wasn't the same without you! During the commercials, I was the only one squealing every time Prince Caspian and The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe showed up. At the sappy endings, instead of crying WITH Elwen, I found myself crying on Bridget's shoulder, somewhat against her will. I felt like a total and complete loser on the carousel when I almost tripped a guy fighting for the horse that most looked like what I envisioned to be a Narnian war horse (and I was also the only one who would have made the connection between Aslan and the lion painting you throw your rings at after the ride is over). It was all very fun and all, and I have a new love of roller coasters, but alas, my heart was empty (although my stomach was full). Just remember, El: no amount of deep fried food can ever replace your companionship. ... Let me reword that. Just remember, El: I love you and nobody could ever replace you. I MISS YOU!
