Where Thunder Roars

Wow. I actually stayed committed to a blog. I’ve been here since May 27th, 2011.

Reading some of my past posts, I’ve realized how much I’ve changed.

And every single post I asked for advice in, I’ve realized that I’ve gotten it, along with support from every single one of you.

I’m so happy I have the opportunity to work on a blog with people like you.

Can you guess it? Because it’s a pretty weird antidote. I’m lucky I discovered it, though, because I got quite a bit of work done. Anyway, the formula is… tiny pencil + the Graham Norton Show + cuddling with your Harry Potter Box Set! Cool, huh? (On an unrelated note, my beautiful 8-film 10-disc HP Box Set arrived in the mail yesterday. I’m so happy!) Anyway, I got the basic sketch and some outlining done on Foxface’s character Camille. Before I show you the bad picture I took of it, I need to tell you that due to the fact that I haven’t seen anything written about Camille for a while, it might not have come out like she wanted. However, I DID manage to remember that she has a crescent moon hairclip!

Ignore the bits of rubber.

Yep, there she is, dressed in warm clothes to celebrate the upcoming arrival of winter (that is, for the Southern Hemisphere and I)! I have recently changed my style of nose-drawing, as you may see. In the background I have drawn a warm house for some unknown reason – actually, I drew it because I was doodling and then I suddenly wanted a background, simple as it may be. I hope you like it so far, Foxface. And now to end this post with random screenshots of my weekly timetable! Yay!

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

And the school day ends at 2:45. That’s all for now.

Oh, wait! No, the World Champs are not over, and yes, I am wasting valuable time by telling you this.

A bientôt!

Yup. Today was officially my last day of school. I had a great time. ^-^

We went rollerblading at an arena…there is only one word to describe it.

AWWWESOOME. >:3

I got to roller-blade backwards…it didn’t end well. I ended up falling into Matt. XD He had to help me the whole time since I hadn’t roller-bladed for a while. I’ll never recall a better day for me to fall on my butt more than twenty times. XD

It was really fun too! We had all sorts of races and we hung out at the snack bar for a while. I stole Liza’s Skittles…she wasn’t very happy. XD

There was this one part when we had to pair up for an arm-in-arm race. It was supposed to be girl-boy pairings and I wasn’t very happy about that either. D:< I ended up pairing with Matt and my other friend Kenzie ended up with Marshall. (They looked so frigging CEE-YOUT together! >:3) In the race Matt kept falling forwards and I ended up going down with him. People said we looked so hilarious. XD

Well, I had a great last day of school. I can’t wait to see what’s planned for next year.

But there was one flaw to it all. Everyone kept saying me and Matt were dating. I have to get one thing straight: Me and Matt are NOT dating, and maybe never will.(Even though I admit he is kinda cute…)

My GAWD, what’s wrong with me!? I tell everyone me and Matt are just friends but I act like I have this huge crush on him. I feel like I have a huge mental problem.

Okay, okay. That flaw didn’t keep me down all day. On the bright side, it was Kenzie’s birthday today! She had this party(which I just came from 8P) and it was MESSY. Everyone was throwing streamers and I got some in my hair still. o3o

I have to admit, it was a crazy day. But I can’t wait for tomorrow. Maybe then I’ll try to get my rollerblading talent back. XD

Ugh. I really want to make an account on DeviantArt to tell people how amazing their art is, but it would be useless except for the purpose of commenting. I have no artistic talent whatsoever, Plus: I’m always on my iPod. I’d never upload anything.

I would share an account, but my friend(with artistic talent) says no.

Any advice?

Short notice is that I shall be gone studying for finals for two weeks!

I shall return shortly!

So that is why you have not heard of me!

Bye-bye!

Okay, two important things.

First, I’m taking a ten-day break from life because of the Language Perfect World Championships (my school won last year!).

And second, I’m getting the Harry Potter box set!

Everyone go to your local PBS station!!!

Sit back, and watch!!!

…And those would be the notes you need to play Welcome to the Black Parade (the first part) on the piano! That’s what I taught myself to do on Friday. I think it was a day well spent! I also got new headphones on Saturday!

Quite snazzy, eh? I just finished building my model of my energy efficient house out of Legos, for a science project AND finished making cookies. I think today went pretty well!

The cookies are for the choir banquet that I get to go to on Tuesday! Before that though, I have to help out for a middle school track meet. Good thing they don’t throw as far!

So, I haven’t been writing, and when I do, I want to know what you guys want to see! 8 of Spades, Green is Deadly (The buggy one you have yet to see the first chapter for… Heh…), or just a new story entirely! I really want to try a dorm setting sometime in the summer…

For those who want my Poptropican username, it’s daytail1 !

And for the record, this cheered me up immensely today.

And yes that is my tumblr for those who have one!

Have a wonderful rest of the school year!

Sorry, guys! I keep zoning out on you!

I have exams next week, so I’ll probably be pretty busy! But after that: SUMMER YEAAAH!!!!

Also:

Any other dining utensils are unacceptable.

8D

The Disney Store is literally the best place.

BUT OH MY GOODNESS. The Merida dress–the one they have for little kids–it has A DRAGON on the skirt.

A DRAGON.

I’m going to create a shrink ray and shrink myself down so I can wear it. I swear to Thor I will!!!!!!

Oh my Thor. ((Quivers with excitement)) (Get it, quivers? Hehehe…)

Also, I’m definitely going to go broke (even more so). THANKS DISNEY.

So, random question: What do you guys think your animaguses (Animagi?) would be? I’m sure you’ve answered this a hundred times, but still!

My sister thinks that we shouldn’t see Brave because I’m going to get obsessed with it.

Also help I’m in love with Hiccup like for real OMT

Wait what!?

ARGH I HAVE TO STUDY!! I’m sorry for my absence! ^^”

But I am going to try to make a Merida Dress or some other kind of costume over the summer! It’s going to be fun!! (Hopefully ^^”)

OHOHOH AND ALSO (I think I have used that word FAR too much in this post ^^”):

To those of you who are my friends on Poptropica: Would you mind if I drew us all in, like, a group shot or something? Because you all look soooo cooooool! 8)

I don’t wanna be demanding, but you said you’d draw Camile a while ago.

I found the post where you showed the lineart:

http://poptropicalthunder.wordpress.com/2011/08/27/ugh-4/

It’s okay if you don’t wanna do it anymore, I know you’re busy.

(And if you’ve already posted the drawing and I’ve forgotten;Can I get the link?)

Thanks,

FoxFace

Nireth of Normandy!

Okay, so I am your friend on Poptropica (I don’t know if you are mine) and lately I’ve been seeing your name change from undefined undefined, to FirstName LastName, to Poptropican. Sooo, if it’s you doing that, please tell me how you do it! PRETTYPLEAAASE.

By the way I like your costume. :3

Piper had to comprehend Esme’s quick release of information, then she frowned. “Special in a special way? What are you talking about?” Surely Esme couldn’t know about her secret…

“I think you know exactly what I’m talking about, and I’m sorry to say that I know all about your secret, for I have one of my own.”

Piper was speechless. It wasn’t possible. Seeing that Piper couldn’t talk, Esme showed Piper a heavy, red leather book with tiny gold letters etched into its cover. Squinting, she could just see the title of the book…

“The Art of Clairvoyancey… So… you can, like…” Piper couldn’t make words. Without proof, she would have scoffed, but Esme had known her name and told Piper that she knew she was thinking about her secret. What more did she need?

“You can…”

“Read minds, that’s correct,” Esme said, finishing Piper’s well-spoken sentence. “I can take a look into your eyes and delve into your mind, into your deepest, darkest secrets. Don’t be frightened,” she added, seeing Piper’s white face. “There are many like the both of us here. Everyone like us goes into G section, that’s why we take different subjects. The girl about to open our door, she’s like us. And you, Piper, I know that you are a w-”

The compartment door slid open.

“Hi, people, I’m going to stay here now,” the girl in the doorway said. “It’s Vivian Cobalt, by the way,” she added, already pulling her luggage in the compartment.

When she settled down and realised that Esme was staring at Piper, and Piper was staring at nothing particular, she said quietly, “Hello? Anyone home?”

Piper woke from her open-eyed sleep. “Huh? What? Oh, hi.”

The first chapter is called Train Rides and Dinner (creative, right?) and this excerpt is from somewhere in the middle of the chapter.

Hihihihihi!!!

Um, anyway, I have to go immediately after so no commenting from me until tomorrow or tonight, sorry!

But I just wanted to say hello since I felt bad! We should make this place more active!

Anyway, random thoughts:

• I got a pretty and new and shiny phone!
• I can’t wait for Poptropica’s next island!
• If you haven’t told me your username yet, what is it?
• I am so joining the Pathfinders tribe!
• I’m getting a new iPod since mine is 4 years old and  pretty dumb! (yeah, I guess I’m pretty spoiled ^^;)
• I’m watching MLP: Friendship Is Magic!
• And Supernatural!
• And now my sister/mom’s Netflix account is filled with suggestions of children shows and my mom thinks I’m weird!
• You’re never too old for Arthur!

You’ll see a lot of these. They are writing practices, so my writing won’t go bad over the summer.  None will be continued.  [On a random note, I got a haircut yesterday.  I can put hair clips in it now.]

Don’t go into the first door on the third floor; You have no business being in there.

I had to know what was in there.  It wouldn’t hurt to look; No one was home to witness this crime, anyway.

I turned the knob.  Oh, I’m in so much trouble.

I stuck one foot in. Then the other.

Now I’ve done it. I was in the room I was told to stay out of countless times.

I walked around, looking for a light.

“Ow,” I said after tripping over something on the floor.

I got up and felt along the wall for a light switch again. Gross, cobwebs.

I flipped the light on and looked at the room I was standing in.

‘Looks like a storage room’ I thought, ‘Now what did I trip over?’

A book? I picked up the book and looked at it. I thought it was going to fall apart in my hands. Old and leather bound, the book’s title, written in gold, was in a foreign language.

I heard the front door creak open. I flipped the light off and ran out of the room; book still in hand.

What was this?

Hey everyone! I never told you but I am campaigning for SGA Secretary c: I hope I win and CRUSH I mean..kindly beat the 6th grader!

Would you like to read my speech? I just wrote it and the grammer probably sucks since I didn’t even read it..But I am making changes. Oh, the blank is classified info c; Crictizm, Polish and Praise would be greatly appreciated!~

Hello fellow __ students! I am ____ ___ and I am running for SGA Secretary! I have the responsibilities of communicating with the faculty with the faculty through prepared notes, take notes at all SGA meetings, submit building permits and prepare Thank You notes.

I am in the 7th grade and Mrs.___ homeroom. I am a sociable, outgoing and kind person. I enjoy any type of reading like the Hunger Games and Percy Jackson, hanging out with friends, playing volleyball and watching Glee. I am in the NJHS, an honors student, get straight A’s and in the __ Honor’s Band playing the bass clarinet.

I believe that I should become the Secretary for various reasons.

I have neat handwriting and write thorough note, trying to cover every important detail. I would be very attentative at the meeting think up new and innovative ideas. I would be very serious and dedicated in my position.

Teamwork. It is an important element in any group from sports teams to math counts, without it there would only be chaos and confusion. I would do anything in my power to keep the SGA a strong standing group. I would obey the President and attend most SGA meetings. I am a person who likes to speak my mind, I won’t be sitting in the corner hoping that no one will pay attention to me. I am an outgoing person and can make friends with mostly everyone.

I am not one to be reckless or clueless in anything. Varying from due dates and what is going on around me. I would be committed to the job and not slacking off or missing an SGA meeting just because I wanted extra sleep!

I appreciate all votes and remember it is you who decides the fate of the __ SGA! Your vote shall always count! Don’t for get, vote __ __ for SGA Secretary!

How was it c:

It took me..20 minutes!

I just spent 20 freaking minutes chasing after a huge freaking fly in my room with my huge science textbook.

NO REGRETS. I FELT LIKE SUCH A NINJA AFTER I KILLED IT.

I saw it, and instantly thought:

Just a random story. Don’t expect continuation. Excuse typos, one of mykittens is chewing in my arm like it’s a turkey leg.

‘Just a few more feet.’ I thought to myself . ‘I just hope the security guards don’t notice the clanging in the ventalation system.’

There it was. The item I was looking for.  How it managed to end up in the museum is still a mystery to me.

I lowered myself down. When I was almost there, my rope snapped and I hit the ground.

This definitely caught the attention of the security guards. I didn’t know what did it; the loud thud, or the alarms.

One of them grabbed me by the arm.  ”What are you doing here, Missy?” He asked, “You know this pretty little sign on the door says ‘Employees Only’; Don’t you?”

“Well,” I laughed nervously, “This was quite unexpected.”

“You’re coming with me.” He said, dragging me somewhere. “We’re going to a special place just for delinquents like you.”

“I’m not a delinquent,” I said in a sweet voice, “I’m a good girl who got separated from her field trip group and accidentally knocked over that display over there. I’m so sorry sir, I didn’t mean to.”

This of course was a lie, I was retrieving my lost weapon; but the security guard’s hard look softened.

“It was my mistake, Missy. Now, let’s find that group of yours.” He lead me away.

“Oh, thank you.” I gushed.

Then, I pointed to a group of High School aged kids, “That’s my group, right there.”

Ugh, Back to square one.

So sorry for triple posting!!! But I just got a huge Eureka moment!!!

I was looking at a state congressional district map (nerdy moments of Rainfall) when I noticed that I was born in District 5 before moving to District 7. Coincidinkally, those two are my favorite districts. I consider myself a dual citizen of District 5 and 7 in the HUnger Games universe.

Holy shukers!

Well I might be wrong. You might notice that there’s a teeny tiny portion of Williamson inside District 5. I think that’s where I live, seeing as my address city is Nashville and my county is Williamson…(not to mention the neighborhood right next to mine is considered Davidson county. Awkward.)

But no matter! It still means I go to school in District 7! Hahahahahhahahahaha!

Might I suggest finding the congressional district map for your state? What district do you guys live in? We can be Panem buddies! (or you don’t have to tell me. I guess that’s kinda stalker-ish!)

I adore this song so much.

What does this mean? It’s so bright and so vivid! Double rainbow, double rainbow! So intense!

Anyway, I had such a miserable morning! I had a violin concert I had to go to but then we got lost and I wandered into a nearby Walgreen’s and asked to use their phone and the lady at the counter got kinda annoyed and then well I ditched the concert. OH WELL. That doesn’t matter much because I get to go see StarKid live tomorrow night!

The only problem is my dad doesn’t want to take me all the way to downtown Nashville so I kinda have no ride. Oh well– I’ll reason with him, he can’t just have me throw away the 60 dollars I paid!

I really dislike highways and downtown. I can’t understand how people live in big cities like New York City. The thought of looming skyscrapers over me makes me feel trapped. The fact that a large radio tower in a lone clearing intimidates me makes me wonder how I would feel with large, actual towers! I can’t remember the last time I actually went to downtown Nashville, to be honest– it must’ve been ages ago!

Survey!

Do you guys live in,

a. a city

b. the suburbs

c. the country

d. another planet!

I live in the suburbs– I’d really do anything to live in a large, hilly, and grassy area where the nearest person besides me is 3 miles away. Then again, that would be a little inconvenient, wouldn’t it?

Or maybe in the Appalachian mountains! I’m already in the same state! They are gorgeous. Can you just imagine waking up to birds with the fog rolling in and the cool air whooshing about?

When I grow up, I’m going to live somewhere with a view of the Norwegian mountains. I’ve wanted to live in Norway since I was around 7 or so! It was always either that or a cottage in the forest.

If I said the Appalachians were gorgeous, these are even prettier. This is in Oldenvatnet!

Forgive me for rambling. What is your dream place to live?
