I pledge alligance
To the flag
of the united states of Equestria
and to the Monarchy
for which it stands
One nation
Under Celestia
Indivisible
With friendship and magic for all.
I'm only counting Celestia because, no matter how much I love the awesomeness that is Luna, we all know our little princess of the night is just a figure head.

A Trip to the East Coast
As you know, I've recently come back from a trip to the east coast. Here's a review of our trip...WITH PICTURES!!!!!!!
Here are some pictures taken from the plane.
My brother and I being weird on the plane XD In one picture, I'm writing my latest story. Other than that, I spent most of the trip listening to music and hopefully not annoying the other people sitting around us.
We landed in Baltimore, and the next day we checked out the lovely Goucher College (where these pictures were taken). I absolutely loved it there. It was a beautiful campus, there were so many friendly people...and look at this flyer I found on a bulletin board:
I was actually really tempted to show up at the Doctor Who club meeting.
We then headed to Washington DC, where we visited several Smithsonian museums and other landmarks. We were there during the festival of kites, which was amazing.
We visited the Library of Congress, which I was really excited about. I mean, a giant building filled with a copy of every book? EEEEEK!!!!!!!!! However...and this just made me really sad...they don't let you handle the books if you're under sixteen. I'll be sixteen in seven months. Sigh.
This window was at the National Cathedral. The stone in the center is a piece of the moon. I just thought this was really cool.
We went to Hershey, Pennsylvania, which was alright. What really interested me was the school there...you can check it out here: http://www.mhs-pa.org/
I took these pictures in an Amish town near Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The sky was breathtakingly beautiful.
My brother was being shy here and hiding underneath my jacket...
Oh...here he is XD
The first college we actually toured was Muhlenberg. Everyone there was SUPER friendly. They have an amazing theatre program that I'm interested in looking into--especially because they perform many student-written plays!
We visited Philadelphia, which was alright, but nothing special.
Derp.
We toured Bryn Mawr College, which was BEAUTIFUL. It also looked exactly like Hogwarts, which pleased the fangirl inside of me.
Example of the Hogwarts-ness:
In addition to the beautiful campus, the academic programs at Bryn Mawr are fantastic. I had the opportunity to sit in on some classes, but didn't, due to a time conflict. However, our tour guide talked a little bit about her classes, and I was intrigued. This is definitely an awesome college!!!
A rare species of fish XD. Picture taken at the Natural History Museum of Delaware.
On our last day, we toured Goucher (sorry, no more pictures). It was an amazing college--I can't even begin to describe how much I love it.
Well, that's our trip! The next day, we flew home. We had such a great time. Thanks for having us, East Coast!

Where are you???
Hey, everybody! I'm writing to you from a hotel in Pennsylvania. I'll give you guys all a full report of the trip when I get back home!
Meanwhile, a vital question has been hounding me: where are all my lovely followers? I miss you all! I know I haven't always been good at posting regularly; I'm definitely not the most cheerful blogger on the internet; my freak-out posts can be a little overwhelming--and I'm sorry if any of those factors scared you away. But you want to know something? I love blogging! I am always proud when I get the chance to say "I am a blogger." It's a part of my identity; it's a part of who I am. And I want to share that part of me with the rest of the world. So come back; take some time to read this little blog. Comment. You're comments mean the world to me. If you've found something interesting, don't be afraid to share it. I am always open to your ideas and opinions. If you have any suggestions to make this blog better, I'm happy to hear them. If you simply want to drop in and say hello, feel free! My day always brightens when I see I have a comment or two. It's a great feeling for me--and I promise to return that feeling by ALWAYS replying to you!
So if you like this blog (or maybe you don't like it, and there's something you'd like to see changed about it), just let me know in the comments section. I will be delighted to hear from you.
Like I mentioned last time, I'm working on a few new projects that I'd like to fill you in on:
1) a TV series to be broadcast on YouTube starting Summer 2012, entitled Abandoned. Details to be announced soon.
2) A video blog series inspired by Alex Day and Charlie McDonnell. I've very nervous about releasing this to the public and need all the support I can get. Do you guys think I have anything interesting worth saying on video? Let me know!
3) The ongoing Hunger Games fanfiction dedicated to Jenna. It's taking a lot more time than expected, but I think it will be worth it. It's in dire need of an editing session, so it's going to be quite a while before this is released.
4) A novel based on a short story I wrote for Literary Magazine, entitled "The Nowhere Place." I've only started on the first chapter, so it will be a LONG time before this particular manuscript is released.
5) The novelization of the untitled story Hannah and I wrote for English. We've been talking about expanding the story for a long time now, and I think it's time for us to really get started on it.
6) A continuation of one of my past novels, "Emelia's Grave." I feel that I should at least write a few more chapters and edit what I already have before I give up on it completely.
Looks like I've got a lot of work to get started on. I look forward to your responses! I'll be sure to update soon with a full report of my family's trip to Pennsylvania (with pictures :D)!
