I apologize for this post.

Le Five Random Facts:

1.) I finally watched Star Wars! Well the first two. (or the middle two. The first two of the originals. Can I just say that's it's silly to start a series in the MIDDLE of a series!?)

Anyway, I loved them! I think they're fun, and corny, and so.... then. *happy sigh*

Bella and I sat there giggling, because my dad kept going on about how it was a huge step in digital effects, and how amazing it was, and we were just like, "Oh my gosh, these effects are so adorable."

I will say that Yoda was not what I was expecting. I mean, talk backwards, I knew he did, but annoying, I found him. A psychiatric hospital, he might need.

OOH OOH, but there were parts where I fangirled absurdly, because I knew they'd be in the movies, but it was weird to actually hear them:

THESE AREN'T THE DROIDS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR



So those parts happened, and I kept punching Bella and going, "THEY SAID THE THING."

So yes. I quite enjoyed them. Now I need to finish the series....

3.) I decided to do this challenge. For me. In my journal. Just because.


4.) I've been drawing fanart for the The False Prince and attempting illustrations for Jack's next book. I informed Jack that I tried over and over to do one of the illustrations and ended up crying and eating chocolate because it wouldn't turn out.


5.) So I watched the season 9 finale of Supernatural........

 
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope! 






Seriously! Not even a little okay! Not at all! Not even sort of! Quite honestly, possibly the worst finale yet, and that's saying a lot.

I have being around all day like this:


This show is miserable, stay away from it!

6.) The Etsy shop thing is almost up. I'm just having a hard time.... getting the stuff to sell. The Fates are against me. Soooooooooooon.

7.) I started watching Merlin! (we're up to season four.) They are quite delightful and addictive. I love shows that make me cry.



 Definitely recommend it.


And that is my meager, horrible, tide-you-over post.

I will do a proper one soon.

Cheers and tears to you all!

CONFETTI, IT'S A PARAAADE!

"THIS IS THE END," Treskie bawls at the top of her lungs, "HOLD YOUR BREATH AND COUNT TO TEEEEN."

It's the last day and the happiness I feel is epic.






Don't get me wrong, I think  I'm glad I did this. I actually liked having a prompt and posting every day for a month.

But it got really old, really, really fast.

I will not be doing another one of these for a while, if ever. It gets boring! And I'm pretty sure you guys were bored too.

If not:


If so:


I apologize.

Anyway.


Day Thirty:Your favorite song at this time last year

I'm pretty sure this time last year I was obsessed with Il Volo.

Like, to the point where I informed my mother (in jest, of course) that I was going to marry the middle guy.

*Cough*

So here's one of my favorites. 

This Time


Tell me you're in
Tell me I'm home
Promise you'll stay
And don't let me go.


I'm waiting for a sign
So tell me that it's real this time.


Let me in
kill this doubt
'Cause from this high it's a long way down.
Break my fall catch me now.


Tell me you're in
Tell me I'm home
Promise you'll stay
And don't let me go.


I'm waiting for a sign.
I need to know it's real this time.



Isn't it purty? 

And now I shall away. 

And I shan't be blogging tomorrow. 

MWHAHAHAHAHA!

Cheers and God bless. 

IT'S OVER.

Soon. Sooon. SOOOOOOOON.

Day twenty-nine
A song from your childhood.

I sat here forever puzzling about this stupid song.

I literally couldn't remember a single song from my childhood that I wanted to post.

For real.

I even called Amy and asked for help. And she, being a nice sister, threw out loads of suggestions. To all of which, I kept saying, "Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Noooopety no. WHAT!? NO! Never listening to that again. Nope."

I almost posted the 50 States that Rhyme song. But I couldn't find the version I wanted. (it's thanks to that song that I can list every State without hesitation.)

So I rejected some more of Amy's ideas before finally coming up with my own.

This song's always been one of my favorite oldies. My dad used to sing it all the time, and I dunno. It just makes me happy to listen to it. Which is weird, because it's really kind of sad. Hehehe!

Rhythm of the Rain
The Cascades


Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain, 
telling me just what a fool I've been.


I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain.
And let me be alone again. 

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start


But little does she know
That when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart


Rain please tell me now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another when my hearts somewhere far away



Yeah, that song makes me happy. There's something wrong with me.

....................

Tomorrow is the last day and I freaking can't wait.


I'm so tired of this challenge, you guys.

I'm pretty sure you are too.

I have officially inundated you with my music.

*Pompoms*

But it's going to be over!!!!!!!



Cheers!

Day twenty-eight

A song that makes you feel guilty

Heh. 


Okay, see here's the thing. 

If something makes me feel guilty, my first inclination is to think it's probably a sin and/or not good for my soul. And therefore, I tend to avoid it. 

Yeah. Deeeeeep, right? 

So anyway, I don't actually listen to very many songs that make me feel guilty. I can name a few that have swears, which I am slightly ashamed to like, but since they have  swears, I don't want to post them.

Sooooooo. 

There's this one Nickelback song that I don't even know why I find kind of cool. It's really kind of dark and grim. I'm fairly sure they wrote it after someone they knew got into drugs and stuff. 

It's really loud and angry, and way more 'heavy metal' than I usually listen to. So if you don't listen to it, I would totally get why.


I think I just really like the part that goes:

"Tell me what you know.
Tell me what you've gone and done now."

*Coughs, a little awkwardly* 

STOP JUDGING!!!!

Just for kicks, I found the best ever description of my current fandoms.


Only two days left. 

Praise heaven!

FIGHT THE FAIRIES!!!!!!!!

Goodbye.

I am so done with this challenge.

You guys.

You guys!

You GUYS!

Guess what! There's only three more days of this freaking challenge and then I'm done! Whaaaat!

*Happiness*


Anyway, yeah. 

Day twenty-seven: 
A song you wish you could play

I'm planning, once I have money, to take guitar classes at the college. Because it's a skill I'd really love to acquire, and it would be cool to sing and play guitar at the same time. 

I have such  high ambitions. 

*Shakes head*

Anyway, a song I wish I could play.... is.....

Changing Colors
By Josh Groban 
Obviously

When the wind takes you, it takes me too.
And when you change colours, I'll change mine too.
Try not to think, and I will try too
And when you let go, I will let go too

I listen to this song and get all like, "Jooooooooooooooshhhhhhhhhhhh. You have the best lyyyyyriiiiiiiiicssssss. Why are you so aaaawwwweeeeeeessssooooooooooomeeeeeeeeee?"



I watched The Magic of Ordinary Days today. 

Daaaaaaaaaaaaang. That movie is freaking awesome! And adorable! Askfjdalasfj;akdfjaf.


THAT GUY IS THE SWEETEST MOVIE CHARACTER I HAVE EVER SEEN. FOR REAL. 



Watch it. It's super clean and so sweet. Gah. So much love. 

You guys, I cannot wait for this challenge to be over. I'm pretty sure it shows because my posts are getting more and more random, and shorter by the day. lol. 

I'm going to go save the world now.

And now I'm going to semi-quote the Three Amigos. 

"Wherever there is injustice, you will find me. 
Wherever there is suffering, I'll be there.
Wherever liberty is threatened you will find....
The extremely strange bloggerrrrrrrrrr!


Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to shoot in the Invisible Horseman. 

Goodbye.

Day twenty-six

A song you can play on an instrument.

I'm going to make this post super short, because I had a long day, and I am pooped. :)


I'm not much of an instrument player. I used to play french horn, but I got into singing more, and I was never really passionate about it.

But there is one song I was really good at. French horns get the main melody in it, and it's pretty. (The movie's not that great. It's not that bad, but it's not that great.)


Yep.

I'm so tired right now, you guys.

Good night.

*hugs*

*Wheeze*

Day twenty-five: a song that makes you laugh.








Ehem. 

This is Tim Hawkin's version of Hey There, Delilah. 
IT'S HILARIOUS

Hey there, Delilah
This is your ex-boyfriend Samson
I know you thought that lifting weights
Made me so buff and handsome
You were wrong
It’s cause I let my hair grow long
That makes me strong


ANYway. I have to keep this short because I have company, and it's rude to be on the computer all evening when you have company. 

FIGHT THE FAIRIES!!!!!!!!

CHEERS!
