14 things I wanna do before I die

1 ; Watch every single Studio Ghibli movie. (So far I've only seen Ponyo & Spirited Away, so I have quite a long way to go..)
2 ; Go to Ireland or London. (I have ancestors from Ireland! :D)
3 ; Learn to speak Japanese. (Right now all I know is Hai-Yes, Kon'nichiwa-Hello, Sayōnara-Goodbye, Watashi wa-I, Anata-You, Heiwa-Peace and finally Heiwa no uchi,-damashī no kokujin dansei-In peace, soul brother. lol)
4 ; Complete my mangas! (Nowhere near that..)
5 ; Improve my singing. (Again, nowhere near)
6 ; Become a fantastic artist and writer!
7 ; Play The Sims :p
8 ; Learn to play at least one instrument. (Preferably drums)
9 ; Become braver & kinder.
10 ; Give help to those who need it.
11 ; Um, get married. And have at least 3 great kids. hehe :3
12 ; Go out & do whatever the Lord wants me to do!
13 ; Read the very fascinating, very thought-provoking, very obsessive 'Princess Knight'! (Uh, it's this manga that's from the 1950's which is extremely early for a manga. Manga didn't get a big start until the 80's or 90's. I'm terribly curious of what manga looked like way back then...& the story sounds really awesome. But I looked it up on Amazon & the cheapest copy they had was like 150 something dollars. So that only makes it all the more obsessive for me. Go look it up on Wikipedia! :D)

Oh yes, I quite forgot one...
14 ; Live through the "Second Coming" tomorrow! (Why do these people think they know exactly when the Rapture's gonna happen?..Still, it kinda scares me..)

That's it. May add more when I can think of some :)

Such a fun week..

Actually, more than a week.
Starting on the 13th, it was my baby sister's 10th birthday! She got clothes, cash & an iPod. Wow. Lucky duck. And to think when I was 10, all I had was a jumprope, some books I read over & over and a karaoke machine. My whole 10 & 11 year old life revolved around making fake radio/karaoke shows. :) I was so humble when I was 10...
Anyway, that was the FUNNEST Friday the 13th of my whole life!! We went to Golden Corral for sissy's birthday lunch. While we were there, I saw a guy who looked like a copy of Elijah Wood! I freakin love Elijah Wood!! ♥ Then I saw a guy who looked like a band member in Demon Hunter. He looked nice...& cool :)
Then we saw another guy at a gas station who was with another guy who looked almost exactly like him..(but not as cute :p hehe) He waved at me, Olivia & Isabella! :D
That evening, we had funfetti cake with coconut on top. :)) Haha that evening I laughed harder than I ever have in ages. I was having a major laugh attack for no reason at all, really. xD

On Saturday my parents took us to this "field day" thingy...Ooh that sounded awkward...Ok, my parents have been doing this "field day" for our homeschool group for a couple of years, & so we went & did that. Olivia & I didn't participate but we cheered for the little kids & waved at a guy riding his bike past us to watch everything.

On Sunday, we left for Galveston Island & stayed till Wednesday. It was pretty fun, but I got a bad sunburn on my shoulders. x(

Today, my mom told me she "had this wild hair" to go to the movies, so all of us went to see Pirates of the Caribbean! It was much better than I expected. :) But the relationship between Jack & Angelica (um...the girl in place of Elizabeth..) was kind of confusing. Like, for a few minutes they seemed to really like each other, then the next minute one of them hated the other. Also the ending was a bit unsatisfying for me. But besides that, it was quite good. :) Four stars out of five.
Also...keep an eye on the missionary guy & Syrena. Those two are way cute ♥

Well, now I "have this wild hair" to post a list of all the stuff I really wanna do before I die, so...Imma go do that.

!UPDATE!

I have some catchin up I need to do...
I will NOT go into a big ole emotional apology sermon about my abandoning of this blog, so I shall continue...
So far, 2011 has been all right. Nothing real exciting or anything. Just...okay.

But heeey, guess what?
I'm in the middle of making a manga series!
Not one, not two, not even three...
BUT FOUR!
Lemme tell ya all about it:

Secret Fire is the first one. 16-year-old Maeko has to move & leave all her friends & boyfriend behind. At her new school, she fits in with a group of friends & things are looking better than she thought they would. But no one can explain Yingjie's (a student who moved from China) mysteriousness. His secret? He's a dragon! A Chinese dragon! :)

The second one which I have no idea what to call, is about two princesses on Planet Ormere. Their names are Starshine & Moonaura. They find out about this long lost brother of theirs who's trapped on Earth, so they decide to find him. They give themselves normal, earth names & go through normal, earthy teenage stuff...all while on a quest to find the brother they never knew

The third one which I also don't know what to call yet, is about Tori, a tomboy with a secret dream of becoming a singer & actress. (She thinks those things are "too girly" for a tomboy to be doing) While all her friends encourage her to go to college, she doesn't want to go. Instead, she auditions for a musical & gets the part! Her biggest fan is a homeless guy (Idk what his name should be yet ^_^;) who is a guardian angel sent to watch over Tori.

The fourth one, which I don't know the title of yet, I'm making with my friend. It's kind of similar to the Legend of Zelda & we're still working out the story & stuff...so, yeah...

I would write a whole lot more of what's been happenin, but now I will post some songs I've been listening to a lot lately. Enjoy! :)

I just found out about this band two days ago & I'm in love with it already!


(this is really random, but remember in the olden days before Youtube got that hideous makeover, when you embeded a video, you could change the color of the player? yeah, I loved that..)

This kid...is just...incredible. Really. His voice sounds a little feminine, but I assure you, he sounds 10,000,000 times better than Justin Beaver..oops, Beiber. :P He's also Scottish & Irish! Can't go wrong with that! It's hard to explain, but just listen & you'll see what I'm talking about :) (my favorite part starts on 2:42)


That's all for now.
Goodbye...

Happy 2011 (:

Even though 2010 had some rough spots I think I can honestly say it was the best year of my life :D
And I hope 2011 will be even better!!

I was listening to this song a while ago, and it's gotten me pretty pumped up about this year. I hope it does the same for yew :)
