The Choir!!!!


I have totally fallen in love with this show on BBC America, The Choir. It is so touching and amazing. I especially loved the first season. And Gareth Malone (the choirmaster) is so awesome! He is a great teacher and is very patient, and seems to believe in all the students. He's fabulous! I wrote a letter to him but haven't sent it yet. He does such an amazing job with the students. In fact, the other day I saw a concert and they preformed "Can You Feel the Love Tonight," like in the first season of the choir, and I actually prefered it when the kids did it! That is so amazing! I can't believe it, honestly. Keep up the great work, Gareth! You're fans are out there and I am one of them!

Percy, HP, and Star Wars...of course :)




I have been thinking a lot about Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, and Star Wars recently. I mean, duh...that's all I write about. Here are some things I have been thinking about:
Percy--The Lost Hero is coming out this October. EEEEEK! I am so so so excited! And I have about a million questions. I guess I have to wait till Oct. 12th to find out the answers. Oh, and for those of you who haven't read the first two chapters of The Lost Hero, go to my Percy Jackson fan site: http://homeoftheolympians.weebly.com and go to the "secrets" page. It gives instructions on how to read the first two pages. Oh and the next book in the Kane Chronicals comes out next Spring. I have a lot of questions about that too. Just thinking about it makes me excited! And finally, I'm wondering if they are going to do a movie of The Sea of Monsters.

HP--I've just been thinking a lot about the fact that I'm a Ravenclaw. Don't know why. And also, I've been really super excited about part one of the Deathly Hallows movie coming out Nov 19th! And I've been rereading the books.

Star Wars--The Clone Wars. I've watched twelve episodes now. They are so great. My two favorite characters are Ahsoka and Anakin, of course. I know I said that in all of Star Wars Obi-Wan is above Anakin on my list-of-favorites, but in this series Anakin is my second favorite after Ahsoka. He's really funny in this show. And Ahsoka just rocks, she's awesome, 'nuff said. BTW, I was wondering if anyone knows how old Ashoka is. I read on line that she was eleven or twelve, but I read this book that said she was fourteen. That didn't make sense, because I knew she was to young to be a Padawan, and I thought thirteen was the age most kids became Padawans, according to the Jedi Quest series. But according to this book, fifteen was how old you have to be to become a Padawan. So does anyone out there know how old Ahsoka is?

Anyways, I have finished the first half of my book and one of my three test readers have finished reading the first half and said she really likes it. I'm going to try to get it to a publisher by April. I am not quite sure what I am going to call it, but as soon as I know, I'll post it. Oh, and I don't know if I've said this before, but it's not a trilogy anymore, just one book.

Well, that's about it. Thanks for reading, and thanks so much to Talia, my first follower! And if there is anyone else out there reading this blog, please follow me! Your support means a lot!

Clone Wars


So I've recently started watching the Clone Wars. It's a great show. I've seen only eight episodes, but I LOVE them, seriously. So Ahsoka has been promoted to my first favorite character in the Star Wars universe, then Siri, Obi-Wan, Darra, Anakin...the list goes on and on, actually. I just watched an episode...the one where Ahsoka is put on guard duty in the archives (because a mistake she made on the battlefield) and she catches that changeling who is helping Cad Bane (or Cod Brain, as I think of him)sneak into the Jedi Temple. That episode left me hanging. Erg!!! I hate it when shows do that. Remind me NEVER to do that in a book...it drives me insane.

In other news, I cannot WAIT for several things including The Lost Hero coming out October twelfth, and the HP 7 movie coming out November nineteenth! Both look SO good!!!! For you other HP fans out there who classify people based off of what house they would be in, I'm a Ravenclaw. Any other Ravenclaws out there? I think it's kind of funny how we HP fans take this so seriously and can even make friends based on who would be in there house at Hogwarts. Just the other day I was at a friend's party, and a distant friend of mine, who also LOVES Harry Potter, commented how the yellow-and-black streamers made the living room look like the Hufflepuff common room after they won a Quidditch match. "Not that I'm a Hufflepuff," she added. "I'm a..." "Ravenclaw," we both said at the same time, then laughed and slapped high-fives. Funny, I thought I was the only Ravenclaw at my school (most, less loyal fans, prefer to imagine they are in Gryffindor because that is the house Harry is in). Oh, and if anyone knows where I can get a Ravenclaw book bag big enough to fit about seven binders, tell me, please!!!

Lost Hero is going to be great, I can't wait for that either, although I'm not as physicked about it as there aren't as many frequent commercials...in fact, I'm probably the only one at my school who knows about it (it is a very small school, after all).

And lastly, I apologize for all the spelling mistakes in my previous entries, they have been brought to my attention, but as my spelling is so bad I made the mistakes in the first place, I don't know where they are and have to wait for further help before I can correct them. Oh, well! :) Sorry!
