To Israel!

Tomorrow I will be embarking on my trip to Israel! I'm so excited--I've wanted to go since I was six or seven years old. There's only one problem. I HAVE TO DEAL WITH BRANDON FOR TEN DAYS. TEN. WHOLE. DAYS. XD I'm not sure if what little sanity I have can survive... I will be updating as often as I can during the trip. I'm not sure if I can upload photos from my camera while I'm away, but I'll be sure to post them after I return! Next time I talk to you I'll be in Israel! A different country! See you then!!! -Annabeth713 aka Inkstar (that's the name of my OC pony :D)

Solar Eclipse

For those of you here in California, you're probably excited for the solar eclipse that will be occurring at 5:25 this afternoon (if you're in LA). In celebration of this event (yes, I get worked up about astronomy--deal with it)--I'd like to give a little demonstration as to how a solar eclipse works:

As you can see, a solar eclipse occurs whenever Princess Luna has had too much sugar and decides to mess with her sister. This event is quite rare, as oftentimes Luna's common sense kicks in and reminds her that if she bugs her sister she'll probably be banished to the moon for another 1,000 years. Have fun watching the eclipse! And don't forget to thank Luna and Celestia for this fantastic occurrence!

I'M SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't posted in SO LONG. And SO MUCH has happened. I met Tara Strong and Meghan McCarthy. If you don't know who they are, look them up RIGHT NOW!!!! That was amazing and awesome and incredible. I preformed at my school's talent show. That was scary. Really scary. But I'm happy with how everything turned out. Miss Jennaynay did brilliantly of course, but that was to be expected :D I received my video from none other than the brilliant Alex Day himself. It was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I won't go into details... Tomorrow we're filming the first episode of ABANDONED, a TV series I've created. I'm excited, yet nervous. Still, I think it's going to be pretty epic. I'll let ya know more later ;)

The Brony's Pledge of Alligance

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!
