Writing Blog?

Hi guys. I'm thinking of replacing my other blog the TV Remote with a writing blog where I will put all the bits and pieces of my writing. I have a lot of stuff to post and I want to just make a separate blog for it. What do you think?

I was thinking of naming it something like, The Inklings of a Young Writer. Any ideas for names?

Thanks!

harry potter 30 day challenge

Thanks, Maddie, for giving me the idea to do this on my blog. :)

Get ready for a lot of pictures! But, FYI, I do skip some questions. Like, "What would be your wand's core and wood?" :S I'm gonna wait for Pottermore on that one.


Day 1 - My favorite of the 7 books? Half-Blood Prince. Even though Dumbledore dies, I thought that this was one of the best. <3 Deathly Hallows comes to a close second, though.


Day 2 -Favorite movie? DH Part 2. It was awesome. Sorcerer's Stone is second.


Day 3 - Which (if any) of the films made you angry because you feel that they left out important parts of the book? DH Part 1. They sped through it so fast that it was confusing. Really confusing. I didn't like that movie at all.


Day 4 - Least favorite female character? Dolores Umbridge. That's a no-brainer. She's so ANNOYING - in the movies and the books. Blech.


Day 5 - Favorite male character? Neville. <3 I like how he stands up for what he believes in, whether he's trying to stop his friends from looking for the Sorcerer's Stone or whether he's boldly telling Voldemort off to his face in the DH.

Day 6 - What house do you want to be in? What house do you think you will get? I'd like to be in Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, but I'll probably get Hufflepuff. :( Hurry up, Pottermore, open!


Day 7 - Favorite female character? Bellatrix, mainly because she's insane. It's hilarious, in the books and the movies. I also kind of admire her for her warrior-ness - how she's not afraid of anything (well, except maybe Voldemort) how strong of a fighter she is, stuff like that.


Day 8 - Favorite subject? DADA, hands down. It seems to be so much more fun than the other classes - there's always something new, and I think this was the most beneficial class out of all of them. 


Day 9 - Least favorite male character? Cornelius Fudge. Blast it, he's so annoying. :) I hated how he kept ignoring Dumbledore's warnings just cuz he didn't want to believe that Voldemort was back. I almost chose Draco Malfoy (sorry, Grace! :) but Fudge was more annoying.


Day 10 - Hallows or Horcruxes? You kidding me? Hallows!


Day 11 - Character I relate to the most? Ginny Weasley. She and I share a lot of stuff(: We both like to think we're tough (and attempt to act like it ☺), we're both kind of spunky in a way, and we're not afraid to be different - whether it's fighting Voldemort or befriending Loony Lovegood. :)


Day 12 - Favorite pairing? Ron and Hermione, of course. :)


Day 13 - Least favorite of the 6 movies? DH Part 1. Or Goblet of Fire. Either one will do.


Day 14 - Team Voldemort or Team Harry? Oh please. Do I even need to answer this? It's so obvious.


Day 16 - Favorite professor? McGonagall. She's AWESOME.

 
Day 18 - Least favorite of the 7 books? Chamber of Secrets. I changed my mind after I read Sorcerer's Stone again :)


Day 19 - Books or movies? Ooooh, this is hard. I like them both the same, I guess.


Day 20 - Person from the cast you'd most like to meet? Emma Watson. <3


Day 21 - If you could resurrect a character who would it be? I couldn't decide so I picked both - Sirius and Fred.

Day 22 - HP or Twilight? Goodness.  I shouldn't even have to answer this. :P

Day 27 - Which Hallow would you want most? The Elder Wand, definitely.


Day 28 - Nemesis at Hogwarts? Pansy Parkinson. Even her name is annoying.


Day 29 - Job you would like to have? It was either Auror or Headmistress or teacher at Hogwarts, but I chose Auror..


Day 30 - Descrive the effect HP has had on your life and what it means to you.
This is kind of a silly question, isn't it? Well....HP has improved my writing, that's for sure.....just studying J.K. Rowling's writing patterns has helped me a lot. It's kept me from being bored, and it gave me a lot of things to imagine about. :)


So there you go...the 30 day challenge. It's fun, you should do it!

Hiya.

Hey.

I'm kinda bored.

And sick. :(

I've been watching Star Trek lately....you know, the old TV series? With William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy? It's good. Watch it.

I've also been reading Peter and the Starcatchers, The Kingdom Keepers, and Pride and Prejudice. All good books, especially Peter and the Starcatchers and P&P.

Speaking of P&P, have you ever read it? (It's okay, Grace...you don't need to answer ☺) It's a good book, but sometimes hard to follow. If you want to read it, I suggest you watch the movie first, and only read the book in small sessions. You can't read it in a single sitting, believe me, or you'll begin to doze off a little. NOT LIKE IT'S BORING! It's just ... dry sometimes if you try to read it all at once.

The movie Dr. Suess's The Lorax came out on Friday! Do you want to see it? I'll review it later, when it comes out on DVD. Unless I go see it in the theaters earlier.

Yay! You've stuck with me this far! Good for you!

Yeah. Hey, speaking of movies, guess what? I'm allowed to see Courageous now!!!! Whoopee!!!!

This is just a random little question....but, for a FIRST name, do you think Darcy is a boyish name or a girlish name?

Wow. This is the most random post I've come up with so far. Lucky for you, I don't have anything else to say.

Commercials, Shakespeare, and the Weather

Yeah. Weird title. I know.

Let's start with commercials, shall we? The first one is for DirecTV and the last two are Star Wars (one for Disneyland and another for Volkswagen). They are funny, don't you think?






Next is Shakespeare.

Now, I love to act very, very much. ♥ I think it's cool to slip into someone else's shoes for a while. At my school we pick scenes from a Shakespeare play and we perform them in a competition. This year my three friends and I are doing a scene from Love's Labour's Lost. I am a lady-in-waiting named Katharine.

Anyway, the performances begin tomorrow - dress rehearsal on Thursday, actual competition on Friday, award ceremony on Saturday.

So, you're probably wondering ... why did I mention the weather? Well, for school we have to do this weather chart thing, so I've been monitoring the weather for the past week, almost two weeks. Have you noticed how warm it is lately? Isn't it insane? It's been warmer than usual with the temperature sometimes spiking to 60 degrees. So far it's done that three times in the past two weeks, but normally the temperature's stayed around the 40s and the 50s.

Since when has this been winter? If I didn't know better I'd think it was April!
