Any Justin fans out there? http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/takemehome/741501/ Mon, 2 Nov 2009 15:39:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/takemehome/741501/ I've been tagged by LaBella, so here goes nothing! Coke or Pepsi?  Squirt. (Coke) Red or Blue? None? How about purple? No? OK.... Red Hot Tub or Swimming Pool? Swimming pool. I prefer to work out while lookin' good in my swimsuit!! Markers or Crayons? Crayons. Markers are sooooo six months ago... Laptop or Desktop? Laptop, by far. Cell Phone or House Phone? Cell, obviously. Now I just need to get one.... Text or Call? Text. Talking on the phone makes me nervous... Don't ask me why. Unless you're my BFF. Eggs or Bacon? Bacon. Eggs aren't my most favorite breakfast food... Jay Leno or David Letterman? Well, unlike my sister, LaBella, I actually KNOW who they are. Hmm, Jay Leno. Couch or LoveSeat? Loveseat. And, sis? It's a seat for two. Smaller then a couch *smirk* Ocean or Lake? None.  Summer or Winter? Winter. It's nicer. And it's a lot easier to get warm then it is to cool down. Spring or Fall? Spring. Fall is boring. Snow or Rain? Snow, please. Even though we don't get any... MP3 or Ipod? Not sure what the difference is, but definitely iPod. Amazon or Ebay? Ebay. It's waaaaaaaaay easier to find stuff, and it's a quick way to make a bit of extra cash. Facebook or MySpace? I can't MySpace, so... Facebook. France or London? London. I'd prefer Italy, but London's good too. Who doesn't like cute British guys with hot British accents?! Apple Or Oranges: Apples. Oranges are so blah. Beer or Wine? Wine. Beer is for guys.

Nobody, I'm all alone... http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/takemehome/738528/ Fri, 23 Oct 2009 14:05:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/takemehome/738528/ I found this on a girl's blog.... Do you have a pen/pencil collection? How many of those are chewed? I take pencils from everywhere else and never give them back until I'm forced too :p Do you prefer handwriting or typing furiously? Typing, I can't stand writing. How often do you get inspiration? Pretty often. Especially when I'm not trying to come up with any!! Are you blogging this on a computer or laptop? Computer. I don't have a laptop....yet Do you get inspiration more in the early morning or late at night? Actually, I'm not really sure. I get lots of ideas from dreams that I have too. I type in the morning, so there are some ideas there, but then I have lots of time before I fall to sleep at night, and some ideas are also from there. So I guess its mixed. Do certain movies/books/music inspire you? Yup yup. Movies like Chronicles of Narnia, LOTR, POTC. Music like....Well, mostly soundtracks from movies. Books like Fablehaven, Percy Jackson ATO, Artemis Fowl, Sisters Grimm, ETC... How do you incorporate God into your stories? Guilty, as charged  Most of my stuff doesn't have anything with Him in it.... Heh Do you kill off your villains or make them repent? I kill 'em. If they're bad, they're bad. It doesn't make it as exciting without a stinkin' epic war!!!! Is the majority of your characters magical beings, humans or halflings? Or something else? Hmm, I'm not really sure. I guess it would be a cross between magical beings and humans. I don't think I've actually written about halflings... What genre of writing are you most comfortable in? If you were to step out of your comfort zone, what would you write? Fantasy and adventure. Out of my zone? Sheesh, probably "romance", but since I don't write out of my comfort zone, I won't have to worry about a sparkle-y disaster! Kidding... Do you work better alone or with someone else? Alone. I'm a sad, sad little lonely person... Do your stories make sense, or do they ramble wildly? Eh... Depending on what you mean by "rambling wildly". I guess they would make sense, sense I know that most of my stories do... Are your characters mostly Renegades, Peacekeepers or a mish-mash? Oooh, this is a stumper! Probably mish-mash... and maybe a Peacekeeper or two! Are you a sucker for good grammar? Are you kidding me? I can't stand when people talk with bad grammar, but when it comes to books, and my program highlights them, I ignore it. Mostly because that's how I want it, but still! How is your handwriting? Its terrifying... How evil are your villains? Evil... But in they end they get their just reward, cause they pretty much all die... Are you long-winded or succinct? I'm probably more succinct. I can't draw stuff out very well, it all turns out short! By the way, succinct means brief or short, and long-winded is the opposite ;) Do you have typical "writer" traits such as inkstains on your fingers or a pencil behind your ear? Yes. A couple hours on the computer will do it. Bloodshot or red eyes... That's the consequense for writing (Though probably just for me) Would someone walking past you on the street consider you normal? I don't know, I'm not a normal person. I'm me.... They would probably see my outfit of the day and grimace, but I can't do anything about their opinions. Do you write mostly poetry, stories, novels or a mixture? MIXTURE!!!! I write my own poems, songs, movies, novels, stories, ETC. I'm a writing machine!! Do your characters vary in accents, appearence and attitude or are they mostly the same? Well.... I have quite a few main girl characters that look like a certain someone.....Guilty, again. I like being able to picture myself as the girl. But it depends on the other people. In only one book does someone have a supposed-to-be Irish or Scottish accent... Do real people and/or places inspire your writing? Nah, it's all fictional baby..  How many blogs/websites/internet haunts do you have? All the blogs on this account, a review account with my older sister (We review new movies or books ETC), and I have a new one with my little sis, called Virtual Magic Memories. Its about a Disney site we used to play on. What is your favorite character? Or do you choose to remain unbiased in case of a revolt? Percy Jackson! Do you talk to your characters? Do they talk back? Heck no! That would make me seem weird. I talk to myself! Are you more comfortable with girl or boy main characters? More girl, but I'm writing my first boy POV book. Do you follow basic overused plotlines with new twists thrown in or do you depart from the norm all the time?  Well... A lot of my ideas come from other books I've read, but not commaon ones really. Do you feel God has called you to be a writer/poet? Will you grasp "the power of the pen"? Duh! I'm a writer... I tag... Anyone who wants to do it!!!!!! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/takemehome/694119/ Sat, 30 May 2009 09:05:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/takemehome/694119/ Sorry I haven't posted for a while. I've been busy with ballet rehearsals, preparing (and writing), and other stuff. I've joined the Script Frenzy 2009 script writing program and I've been writing like crazy. I started writing one movie and I have about 40 pages that took me two or three months to write. But since I've joined I started writing a new script that has 27 pages in only a week!! I'm very close to being caught up in so little time. I believe that if I write 9 pages a day, I'll be able to reach my 100 page goal in no time before the month is over. Uh yeah, I just calculated the rest of the days in this month times nine which gives me 171 pages, so maybe I could tone it down to six pages a day. Let's see..... 114! Perfect, I'll be able to reach 120 pages which will be my full movie!!! I'm so excited. I think that after this month though, I'll have to re-read and have my mom read it and do a fix/check scan. Any other bloggers participating in this months Screnzy, or NaNoWriMo? http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/takemehome/678131/ Sat, 11 Apr 2009 09:49:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/takemehome/678131/ I found this on my friend's blog (I did it twice): RULES: 1.

They will also be having another BIG ballet production for recital!!!!!! I'm so excited, especially for tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/takemehome/594698/ Wed, 24 Sep 2008 05:24:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/takemehome/594698/ Hiya! Hope all of you enjoyed my last post. I am in tap 1 class right now and I'm hoping I can switch to ballet. Now, there are two ballet classes on Thursday (I can only take one class and it has to be on Thursday) One is a level 1 Intermediate and the other is a level III/IV, the highest you can go before pointe. The 1 Int. has my two friends in it, and it looks a lot easier. The other one looks a lot more challenging and I don't know anyone in there. But the 1 Int. is only one level higher then begginer ballet! And I've taken ballet for quite a few years, so I should be in a level three. I e-mailed the dance studio to see if I can try out for the 1 Int. and the III/IV and the earliest they'll reply is later this afternoon. Can you guys all pray that I can at least try out for the III/V if not stay in it permanetly? All the really good dancers are in there, AND last year at recital there was a BIG ballet performance that all the ballet dancers were in, and the girls in the III/IV got some of the main roles! I love ballet, and I hope that I can be in the class. PAL (Post Again Later) Sparkle P.S: Maybe there'll be a bonus post to tell you if I can try out or not! :P http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/takemehome/593453/ Mon, 22 Sep 2008 05:50:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/takemehome/593453/ Here is a tag I'm starting and passing on.
