Music, Mystery, Middle Earth, and Mitochondria

Greetings, all! I think I am actually on time with my wrap up post. There must be something wrong with me. :-Z XD August’s Music The Gravel Road by James Newton Howard I love this movie, and the music is absolutely stunning with its violin parts. A Hero Rides with Us by Epic Score  Amazing. Epic. Soul-stirring.  The Healing by James Newton Howard   Gorgeous.

Greetings, all! Welp, it’s once again the start of another month. Already. XD For me this month was actually fairly slow, and I got a ton of reading and writing done. I’ve been super tired though; my adrenaline must have been depleted from these last few months. XD I hope you all had an awesome July!!! Also hope that Camp Nano went well for you all. It was super fun for me. July’s Music: Shape of You Piano Cover by Niko Kotoulas This guy is good. I really enjoy this cover of Shape of You by Ed Sheeran (this is the only version of that song I listen to…the original is not very appropriate. XD) Ready Aim Fire by Imagine Dragons I LOVE THIS SONG. IT’S ONE OF MY FAVOURITE IMAGINE DRAGONS SONGS. Not All Heroes Wear Capes by Owl City This song is so sweet. I definitely like this acoustic version better than the original.   July’s Movies Jurassic World   The Seeker The Village (wow, just wow) Peter Rabbit Man of Steel The Incr...

Greetings, all!  Since Camp Nano is almost over...HOW IS IT ALREADY ALMOST THE END OF JULY???...ahem, I decided to share a little of what I've been working on this month.  Introducing,  Synopsis Eden Claire is an orphaned serving girl in England. Living her lonely life working in the library of a boarding school, she begins to think that she must always settle for less, and that her dreams of comradeship, adventure, and sailing to unknown lands must slowly dwindle away to nothing. However, when an old forgotten acquaintance shows up on her doorstep with a note left to Eden by her father, those dreams might just become rekindled; dreams that will take Eden to wild escapades on the high seas. Eden must outwit the notorious Damian the Black Hearted and his gang of pirates in her quest for her father’s treasure, but she cannot do it alone-she will need the help of others. Can she learn how important true friendship is, even at the cost of losing the tre...

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 11 th . 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. Movies Man of Steel Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom   Thor: The Dark World Solo Ku...

Greetings, all! You know those questions that most kids get asked sometime in their life by well-meaning great-aunts, distant cousins, and the family dentist? Yeah, mm-hm. Those questions. The ones you get tired of answering because usually the people who are asking don’t even care about the answer; they just ask out of politeness or because they don’t know what else to talk about with a kid. I hate those questions. With a passion. So, I decided to think of different answers to give when I get asked those questions, and I’m going to share a few with you. I can’t wait to see people’s reactions when I answer with these. It’s going to be priceless. XD DISCLAIMER: Always remember to be polite, respectful, and courteous when you answer an adult; even if you’ve heard the question they are asking 100,000,000 times and are sick and tired of it. Thank you. ;-D Question #1: “What Grade Are You In?” Normal Answer: “I’m in 10 th grade.” New and Improved Answer:...

Greetings, all! I can’t believe it’s almost Summer!!! (At least for us up here in the North it is. XD) Spring just seemed to flit by, and overnight the weather has gotten warm and Summer thunderstorms have began to come in full force. I do love a good thunderstorm. <3 May’s Music: My Immortal by Evanescence  I just started listening to Evanescence’s music. My Immortal is definitely my favourite of their songs. We Will Not Go Quietly by Epic Score Epic Score’s music is super inspiring. The title of this one grabbed my attention and now I can’t stop listening to it. O The Deep, Deep Love of Jesus cover by Selah  I don’t normally go for Contemporary Christian music, but Selah’s cover of this gorgeous hymn is amazing. I would call it epic. Star Sky by Two Steps from Hell  This song blew me away the first time I listened to it. May’s Movies: Peter Rabbit   Thor 1 Mulan   Avengers: Infinity War :’-( ...

Greetings, all! I am pleased to announce that I have officially finished my WIP, Mission: Metal!!! I’m so excited! It’s the first long story that I have ever finished. In celebration, I wanted to share some snippets, collages, and some songs that I wrote this story to with you all. Snippets * Shae smiled at the bright orange color of Archer’s message. Normally she hated the color orange, but Archer had set her comdev to show the brightest colors whenever he sent her a message. Everyone else got the darker colors; blue, green, or black. Now she was beginning to think of Archer in correlation to bright colors. * Ian nodded. “What can I do?” “Want to help me with the big gun?” Archer asked, with a twinkle of mischief in his eyes. Ian stared in disbelief. “Seriously?” He had wanted to help with the cannon ever since he had first set eyes on it, years ago. Archer had never let him. Until now. Archer nodded. “Sure; I do need an assistant.” Ian got up and salu...
