Apps :P

Okay, so Mexico is only one week and three days away!!!!! AHHHH!!!!! So excited :)

We have to do a lot of preparation for it .... Mom and I are having to do cardio exercises like jogging and running around the block so we don't get altitude sickness when we go down there. And then there's the shots ... luckily, I had all mine, but Mom had to get four. :( And then there's all the dance practice, and the fear that you'll get sick from food or water poisoning, stuff like that.

One cool thing about it is that you have to be careful and watch out for pick-pockets. That doesn't sound cool at first, but Mom and I are wearing these secret pouches that we'll hide our money and stuff in --- it makes me feel like Dan and Amy from the 39 Clues. :P

But, anyway, it's going to be a long plane ride. Since I doubt I could read the entire time (we have limited luggage space, and if I read all my books on the plane ....) I decided that I was going to stock up on fun apps for my NOOK before I go.

Two really fun apps I bought today are Cut the Rope and Plants vs. Zombies. Plants vs. Zombies sounds really, really gross, but it's actually really fun and addicting. The idea is, you're supposed to defend your house from brain-eating zombies, and you have a bunch of different plants in your arsenal to use against them. There's wall-nuts (you can guess what they do), peashooters, sunflowers, fume-shrooms, and a whole lot more. It's EXTREMELY addicting .... I'm having trouble saving the game for the plane --- I want to finish it all now! :) What I like about this game, too, is that my brothers can play it without bugging me, asking to play it on my nook. They can play it online, at popcap.com.

But, back to Cut the Rope. I like that game because of Om Nom, the little creature who loves candy. He's so adorable!!! That's pretty much why I play the game anyway. :) Here's some videos I found about Om Nom coming into the world (it's so cute...)

Isn't he adorable????

So. This was a random post, and if you made it to the end, then: yay! I hope I didn't bore you. :) More Mexico updates later!!!!! (And I'll try to post pictures when I get back, but you all know how bad I am with those kind of promises ;) )

What are your favorite apps?

the black widow is awesome

I still haven't seen the Avengers yet (I have to wait until its on DVD....boo hoo!) but I did see Iron Man, finally. It was good -- I saw it on Clearplay, so I can't say much about the bad parts -- but there was swearing and a lot of weird flirting on Stark's part.

But, back to the Avengers. I saw this clip on Facebook of the Black Widow (I liked a whole bunch of superhero pages ;D) and I thought it was so awesome, that I had to post it here.

She's fighting like five guys with a chair. With a chair, people.

I love the face of the guy who's calling while he's on hold!!! Hilarious!!! (Urgh I'm going to die from waiting!!!!)

Anyway, I'm SOOO excited for Brave, which comes out on June 22. I want to go see it on opening night!!!

Merida is so funny. :)

Some Songs I Love

The music video for this next one is really funny, but the song is kinda annoying. So I'm just posting this for the video(:

Courageous Clips

I'm in love. ♥

My top three favorite movies are now:

#1 - Courageous
#2 - Soul Surfer
#3 - Hugo

:DDDD

Anyway, here's some of my favorite parts from the movie. For those who haven't seen it....SPOILER ALERT!

I love Emily!!!! She made me cry :'(

That one's cool. I think they show all of it, but if not.....you'll remember.

Another scene I loved that I couldn't find was the scene that I called "Love Ya, Bye"

Adam (on the phone to Sheriff): Hello? Yes sir.

Adam's Wife: I've got to go. Bye honey.

Adam (to his wife): Okay. Love ya, bye.

Adam (to sheriff): Okay. Yes sir. Thank you sir. Love you, bye.

Adam hangs up, then bangs his fists on the table.

Later...

Adam (to Shane): I can't believe I did that. ... Should I call him back?

Shane: And what, tell him you don't love him?

:) I might not have gotten it all right, but you remember. That was the funniest scene in the whole movie, in my opinion.

Happy (belated) Valentine's Day!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!!! I'm always late for these things.....soooo what did you do for V-Day? I went to Chuck E Cheese with a bunch of homeschoolers. <3 I love that place. You're never too old for it.

As you guys already know, I am a movie geek. :) Here are the trailers for movies I want to see:

What movies do you want to see?

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!

Princess Weekend

We had a lot of fun!!!!!! We're on our way to Erie in this picture....

It was really snowy there....we almost crashed into a big truck! No kidding!

Then, we finally made it to Splash Lagoon, which was really fun (and really warm! ☺) This is me waiting for that giant tiki bucket thing to fall.....

Then, after like a half-hour, it finally fell....

Haha look at me :P

Then, I did their "Tree Tops Ropes Course". It was really fun, and slightly scary at times. :)

The next day we traveled back from Erie to Robinson, where we shopped at Five Below, Claire's, and went to the movie theater. I saw the movie Hugo there, and it was really good! It's one of my most favorite movies now. I reviewed it on my media blog if you want to know what it was about (click here).

That's the owl purse I got at Claire's!!!!! Isn't it cute? ♥

Then I got this sweater at TJ Maxx....

Then my Five Below shirts.....

I'm liking owls.

Oh yeah! Improving my ninja t-shirt collection. :)

Then I finally found my "signature scent" as I have heard it called at Bath and Body Works: Pomegranate Citrus. I love the bottle, don't you?

I got hand sanitizer too.....isn't the case cute?

Later that day, we went to the Melting Pot. Yummy, yummy food.....the chocolate and the cheese were absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!

So, there you go. It was really fun - you guys should do it with your moms too.

Now, I did videos (kind of a video blogging thing) along the way, so I thought you might want to see them. Let's hope they work - this is my first time uploading videos. Let me know if they work or not!

The rest of the videos wouldn't upload....but at least you get two, right?

The Hallelujah Chorus: Silent Monk Version

This is so funny!!!! Since monks normally have to take a vow of silence before they go to the monk-ery (or wherever they go, I forget), this totally makes sense. This is hilarious!!!!

Awesome Christmas Songs!!!

I heard these while I was doing my schoolwork. :)

The first one is really pretty - it's by Enya. Their songs can be really weird, but I like this one.

The second one is definitely not as classical as the last one - it's more modern. But it is SO AWESOME. You might have heard it on K-Love, but if not, here it is.

Also, this video is of a house's lights that are synchronized to this song. Is that cool or what?

Yeah....can you believe that it's only four days until Christmas?????? Where did the time go?

So Random!

So Random! is an awesome show on Disney Channel. It's not stupid like most shows, though some people think it is dumb. I don't though! ☺ It's a comedy. It's really hard to explain, but you'll totally get it when you watch these videos.

They do things called sketches, which are like skits performed on practically everything imaginable. The things I'm posting are So Random Sketches.

Harry Potter.....come to buy....ointment.

I think the Voldemort in these sketches is creepier than the one in the movies, don't you?
