Greetings All!
(ssh I totally know it's November 10th)
October has got to be my favorite month; the changing
leaves, the crisp air, the gloomy days; and for us; school starting up again.
There is something comforting in starting a new schedule and opening up a new school book. For me anyway. XP
Not to metion the brand-new pencils…XD
October’s Music
The Flight of the Silverbird by Two Steps from Hell
The Flight of the Silverbird by Two Steps from Hell
This song is so much fun to listen to! I can totally
imagine a bird with a long silver tail sweeping across the sky when I play it.
Darkness Keeps Chasing Me by Grace
Vanderwaal
I had never heard this song of Grace’s before, but
when I borrowed her album from the library I instantly fell in love with it.
The cello part and her voice mash perfectly together, and don’t even get me
started on the lyrics. <333
Waltz for Mary and John
This song. <333
October’s Movies:
Sixth Sense
This movie was
AMAZING. A little disturbing and creepy, but the story and characters and
twists were so good!!! <333
The Lovebug
Big family hit. XD
Herbie Rides Again
Oliver Twist
This movie was very
well done. *thumbs up*

October’s Events
School Starting: Welp, I’m officially in 11th grade now (only one more year of schol, omw I’M NOT
READY), and let me say, junior year is so far the easiest year I’ve had in high
school so far. I only have Hebrew, Greek translating, French, American History,
Chemistry, and some reading and writing to occupy my school hours. I just
finished a crash-course Sci-Fi and Fantasy writing curriculum that was SO
AMAZING AND HELPFUL. It’s making me so excited to start my sci-fi novel after
Nano. :-D
Reformation Day: We didn’t do a huge celebration this year for
Reformation Day, just went over to a friend’s house to hang out and freeze to
death outside. I should have worn my jacket…XD
So that was my month! Now tell me about yours! Did you
watch any creepy movies? Listen to any good songs? How is Nano treating all you
writerly types out there? :-D
(I promise I’ll fill you all in on what’s happening in
my pirate story, Of Seas, Silver, and Shipmates soon. Nano has opened some
doors into my story that I didn’t see coming…XD)
Namarie!
Hey Mem!
ReplyDeleteWow, you read a lot! I started reading the Series of Unfortunate Events, but it had to go back to the library :\
I also read the Rangers' Apprentice books recently! I'm up to the Sorcerer in the North. The Brotherband books are really good too!
Hey Ral!!! I sure did! Aw; I hate when books have to go back to the library before you're done with them. :-Z That series is REALLY good though. :-D
DeleteOoh, cool! I just finished the one after that. They're so good! Ooh, nice! I'll have to check those out sometime. ;-D
I read The Bad Beginning and The Reptile Room last month, too! Along with The Wide Window. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. ^-^

That's SO cool you found time to read so many books and watch some movies! I would love to spend my time reading and watching, but unfortunately I'm snowed under with my school duties, argh... Good luck with your school :) I hope November is great for you :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann! Yes, school has a way of doing that...:-Z Thanks! Good luck with yours too! I hope November is fantastic for you as well.
DeleteAh yes, The Lovebug is family favorite in our house as well. :D Like I've said before, I really need to watch Oliver Twist!! Perhaps we'll get it on Netflix sometime soon. Do you think it would be alright for my siblings to watch...?
ReplyDeleteWOW you read so many books this past month, good for you! OOH YES YOUR SCI-FI NOVEL. I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR MORE ABOUT IT.
Haha, I didn't know that! It was a cute movie. YES YOU DO!!! ;-D Um, I think some of them might be a little creeped out at times...but Kayla might be able to. :-) Only Seth and I watched it, but that's just because the others were in bed. XD
DeleteThanks!!! :-D YES DON'T WORRY YOU WILL. I am SOOOO excited about it! :-D
Holy moly, that is a lot of books, MEM!
ReplyDeleteYour school classes sound so cool! I wish I had been able to take Hebrew and Greek in school, LOL.
NaNo has been slooooowwwww. Only about 8k words written. Bleck.

DeleteThanks! They're awesome languages to learn, but they take up a lot of time. XD Hebrew especially. :-D
SAME!!! This November is not giving me inspiration. Hey, 8k words is super great! It's way more than I have. XD Keep going! You can do it!!!
