Greetings, all!
Well, this post in incredibly late. *hides* I meant to post
it at the beginning of July, but here we are and it’s the 11th. At
least I have a two good excuses for being late; Camp Nano and moving. Yes!
We’re officially moving out of our house on Friday. Our new house should be
ready to move into at the beginning of August, so until then we’re living with
our grandparents. I’m so excited to move! XD
Music
The Sound of Silence covered by Brooklyn Duo
I love the cello part
in this song. It’s so amazing.
The Call by Regina Spektor
This song gives me
loads of nostalgia.
We Stand Together by Sound Adventures
I love how the title
fits in with the music of this song. Sound Adventures is a really good Epic
Score artist.
Lost Boy by Ruth B
This type of music is
not one I generally listen to, but I LOVE Ruth B’s voice.

Events:
Homeschool Convention: My brother and I went to the teen program in
the homeschool convention for our area for the first time ever. It was a lot of
fun; the theme was Become Kingdom Makers, and my favorite sessions were the
Music Makers sessions. We studied music and the impact music has upon people.
Some of what we learned was quite terrifying. :-Z
50s Party: Our friends had a 50s party at their house and all of my
siblings and I dressed up in 50s-themed clothes. We danced to 50s music and had
root beer floats. It was an awesome party. XD
Camo Stripe in Kung Fu: My brother and I are steadily moving up
belts in Kung Fu. We are now Camo Red Stripes, and our next belt will put us
halfway to a black belt. I have also started teaching some of the younger kid
classes after my class, and that has been a lot of fun.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
and Solo in Theater: Yes, I saw two movies in the theater this month. XD I
loved both of them! I know Solo got a lot of bashing by the critics, but I
thought it was awesome nonetheless. And Fallen Kingdom was AMAZING, and it made
both my dad and I jump in one part. Dinosaur movies are some of the best.
Writing:
My writing has been
sorely lacking, I’m afraid. Most of June was spent sort-of plotting for my Camp
Nano novel, which I will have a post on shortly. I also wrote two poem\songs
that I will be sharing as soon as they’re ready to be posted.
One Last Thing:
Two of my best
friends (they are sisters) were making me a birthday present that had something
to do with my earlier WIP, Mission: Metal. I couldn’t get it until I finished
my story, which wasn’t until about a month after my birthday. Then they ordered
it, and it just came, and I’m going to show you a picture of it because it is amazing.
Drum Roll Please.
HERE IT IS!!!
They took all of my
cliffhangers and ending lines of chapters from Mission: Metal and put EVERY.
SINGLE. ONE. on this mug. It is so amazing to have a mug that has my story on
it. I’m seriously fangirling!!! And inside of the mug I found this.
Cause every girl needs a stuffed dragon. XD
Thank you so much,
IdahoReader and A.L.K.!!!
Welp, that’s all I
have to say. Has anyone else been to a 50s party before? Did anyone see Solo or
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom in the theater? How is Camp Nano going for all
the writers out there?
Namarie!!!
Solooooooo YAS. <3 Argh I loved that movie.
ReplyDeleteI've actually been listening to The Call too! It really fits with my WIP (Falling Sun), so that's cool.
And OH. MY. WORD. THAT CUP IS THE MOST AWESOME THING EVER. *dies*
YES SO DID I. <333
DeleteOoh, cool! I can't wait to hear more about Falling Sun. :-)
YES ISN'T IT??? *dies with you*
I could never see a Jurassic Park/World movie in theaters. I have to watch them when it's light out. But I'm glad you enjoyed it and I can't wait to see it. I did get to see Incredibles 2 the other day and that was awesome.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have a couple people in my family who are the same way. XD It was amazing. Ooh, cool! I hope to see that soon.
DeleteI'm doing Camp too but I'm hardly writing anything đŸ˜†
ReplyDeleteOh well! XD It's awesome that you're doing it too.
DeleteI really like that song that song "The Call" by Regina Spektor. I first heard it when I first watched the second chronicles of Narnia. I got to see Solo on opening night, but I am DYING to see the second Jurassic World. I love the "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis.
ReplyDeleteYes, so did I. It's a beautiful song. :-)
DeleteOoh, cool! I didn't see Solo until after it had been out a few weeks, but I saw JW three nights after opening night. It is soooo cool, you're going to like it.
It's such a great book! C.S. Lewis is an amazing author.
That mug is so awesome!! It must be so amazing to see your words printed on a mug like that... And that dragon is so cute đŸ˜‚
