A series of rhetorical questions.

INCOMING RANT.

SOME OF YOU HAVE ENDED SCHOOL ALREADY. OH MY GOSH. *headdesk*

Why does my school end mid-late JUNE? While most of you end/had ended THIS MONTH? I mean, I haven’t even taken my FINALS yet. I haven’t done any end-of-year thing-a-ma-jigs yet. The only thing is a statewide Bio exam, blah blah blah… WHY BIO OF ALL THINGS?

*facepalm*

Anyways, my birthday is getting closer asklgwgoah

AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I WANT. AGAIN.

Why does it have to be like this every year ever since I grew too old to play with toys? *sigh*

Why do I keep drawing the same things over and over again?  Why do I keep on talking about the same old things? Why am I thinking about the same things? Why do I jump around and dance in my room with my headphones on only to find Mom or Dad Tomato looking at me and I just stand there like an idiot? Why? These are all rhetorical (is that spelled right?) questions.

BT out from this topicless rant.

 

Are my parents mind-readers?

I’m starting to wonder if my parents are starting to read your minds.

Like I said two posts ago, my mom and I randomly started watching Doctor Who due to curiosity. We haven’t caught up on the new eps really yet, but we will.

And then, not too long ago, something else made me wonder if your minds are being read.

So my dad put some new songs on my iPod and while I was looking through it, there was an extra album among the new songs:

I went up and asked my dad about the album and he said that he thought it would be something I would like. There were 4 songs in it at first: the first four tracks (Stargazers, Gethessame, Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean, and Sacrement of Wilderness). Something about the album cover looked vaguely familiar to me- I could’ve sworn I saw it before. After listening a little bit, I thought, “This reminds me of something Nirry likes.” I searched Nightwish in the blog, and found that Nirry had mentioned Nightwish numerous times and one of the albums she quickly reviewed was none other than Oceanborn! I ended up liking the music and then asked my dad more about the band. He explained to me about the changed singers, and how there are a ton of albums out by them. Looking through Youtube, I found Storytime and Amaranth, both songs I ended up loving. Dad eventually got me the rest of Oceanborn, Imaginaerum, and Dark Passion Play. Here are some of my favorites from each of these:

Oceanborn:

- Gethesame (I just liked the tune ^_^)

- Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean (the “sung” dialogue was just… wow)

- Passion and the Opera (Also liked the tune)

- The Pharaoh Sails to Orion (the opening had a catchy beat and feel xD)

Deep Passion Play (I just got this one, so I haven’t listened to all the songs from this one yet)

- The Poet and the Pendulum (Wow, just wow. XD)

- Bye Bye Beautiful (I love this song so much. It’s so rock.)

- Amaranth (That song had been stuck in my head for the past week.)

Imaginaerum (there’s a lot of songs I liked from this album o.o)

- Storytime (So much whimsy!)

- Ghost River (It’s both creepy and awesome! And that children’s chorus!)

- I Want My Tears Back (I love this song so much- especially the duets!)

- Rest Calm (I found myself randomly singing the chorus every once in a while XD)

- The Crow, the Owl, and the Dove (It’s just catchy.)

- Last Ride of the Day (Catchy. Again.)

- Song of Myself (I was shocked to hear that I memorized the dialogue from the “Love chapter. Still an awesome song XD)

So yeah. Nightwish. Woo. I figured I’d make a post about something. Has there ever been a time when you think someone else was a mind reader?

BT out!

 

It’s about time, 20th Century Fox!

I waited.

And waited.

And waited for the Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters trailer.

I was waiting since who knows how long. But on April 1st (no joke), it finally came.

 

 

BotB Character Change!

Hey guys, BT here. (Wow, it’s been a while since I posted here!)

I think I might want to change my BotB OC. I mean, change her completely. I mean, she’s not the same person anymore.

I’m thinking, “Goodbye, Fern, hello…. um… oh, I got it- Reena Prism!”

Abilities: Reena Prism is a 15-year-old artcaster. An artcaster is a kind of wizard that has a different type of wand, the pencil and paper. Whatever she draws would come to life. However, she has restrictions on what she can and can’t draw due to the artcaster oath:

“I cast only to protect well-being, others, and worlds. I am not to cast for a selfish or evil reason, or draw things beyond my level of training, or else I shall face the consequences.”

Currently, she’s a trainee for the order of artcasters, which is like level 2 out of 5 levels. She can draw basic weaponry such as swords, bows, spears, and shields. However, she cannot draw living things or any weapon with too much power.

Personality: Reena has a hyper personality, and is eager to be a student of the great artcasters. She’s friendly, but sometimes can be a little irresponsible and air-headed.

I might do more with her later, but I’m just sharing the basics.

BT out!

 

Happy New Years!

It’s 2013 over in the east coast- Happy New Years, peeps! Here’s to another great year! *raises bottle of water*

 

Hurr Durr…

Sorry I haven’t really posted… I was busy with school and stuff.

So my mom recorded something that was of curiousity and interest to her on the DVR. And I couldn’t believe my eyes on what I saw- Doctor Who. So we played the episodes that she recorded. We started off with two episodes, but that became five in no time when my mom kept on looking on the TV guide for more episodes. We watched it totally out of order, but we didn’t mind. But what I did mind was that the first episode we watched was “The Angels Take Manhatten”. My first episode was a Weeping Angels episode. *shudders* That episode was so sad T_T! Then we saw “The Snowmen”, and continued the curiousity through “The God Complex”, “Closing Time”, and “The Wedding of River Song”. Now, we’re pretty much curious and hooked.

But… holy cow, those angels were creepy.

Christmas was cool! I got some new art supplies (yay!), clothes, video games, DVDs, books, makeup, and some other stuff.

And now, I got something to tell the Percy Jackson fans out there…

…there is still hope in the movie franchise.

There has been a bunch of changes comparing Lightning Theif to Sea of Monsters:

1) New Director- Chris Columbus has been replaced by Thor Freudenthal (who directed the first Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie).

2) Alexandra Daddario, the actress for Annabeth, has dyed her hair blond for her role!

3) Clarisse will be in it!!! Finally! The actress will be Leven Rambin (who played Glimmer in the Hunger Games). This part I’m a little concerned about. Leven is BLOND. I hope she dyed her hair brunette for the part…

4) The actor for Chiron has been replaced by Anthony Head!

5) Kronos’ sarcophagus finally makes an appearance!

6) Mr. D’s in it too! He will be played by Stanley Tucci!

There’s still hope for the Percy Jackson movies, peeps! There’s still hope!

BT out!

 

Halloweenish Thoughts!

Hey guys, BT here.

Well… decided to post here since I’ve neglected doing so a lot.

Now, I’ve already decided on my Halloween costume. I was having a hard time deciding on what to be. It was between a female Jack Skellington, a female Edward Scissorhands, and a certain red-haired freak of an oc. I thought that I was going to have to go crazy, until I found a Halloween costume of this:

 

September….ALREADY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! (Year Two)

It’s September again. And once again, I’m posting a post about what happened in my mind recently.

The Carnival of Madness concert was AWESOMESAUCE! Amy and Lzzy were amazing, especially when they did a duet of Break In! When I saw Amy come out to do the duet with Lzzy, I freaked out. Sure, I’ve been listening to Halestorm for less than a year, but I’ve been listening to Evanescence since I was in a big chair in the car! *laughs* I still remember playing with my fingers falling off one of the arms of my car chair, cause back then, when I thought of Bring Me to Life, I thought of Amy Lee falling in the music video . Mom and Dad Tomato said that I was really getting into it. One of my best birthday presesnts ever…

LZZY AND AMY!!

The thought of going into high school is both intimidating and exciting. Intimidating cause I don’t know my way around (and lucky me, I have Gym first… -_-) and exciting cause of the new experiences. However, I can’t believe my summer vacation’s almost over! Well, for most of you, it already ended, but hey, time flies.

Ah… what the heck? Like I said last year, I’m just going to enjoy my summer vacation while it lasts…

 

Introducing my deviantART!

Hey guys, BT here. Last week, I got a deviantART account, and I uploaded a few drawings and stuff. Here’s the link to my profile:

http://1313cookie.deviantart.com

Most of the stuff will be Poptropica/Astwell-related, and I’ve been really into it! ^_^

BT out for now!

 

Oh my goodness gracidelias.

This. Anime. Series. Is. Awesome.

It’s called Shakugan no Shana, which translates to Shana of the Burning Eyes. I’ve only watched 2 and a half episodes of this anime series. Here’s a summary.

He had thought his normal days would last forever, until they were ended abruptly by an encounter with a girl with red hair and eyes. He named her Shana.

Not long after he enters high school, Sakai Yuji’s normal days come to an end. He sees something bizarre on his way home: people are frozen in a strange fire, and a monster that looks like a large doll is attacking them. Just when he’s about to be killed, a girl in a dark cloak wielding a large sword appears, and slices the monster in half. Although Yuji survives the strange encounter, the girl informs him of a desolate truth: “You don’t ‘exist’ anymore.”

She calls herself a Flame Haze who hunts “Guze no Tomogara” [people of the Crimson World]; intruders from another world. She explains to him that he is a “Torch”, a substitute of Yuji whose “existence” has already been devoured. She also told him that he is a special Torch, “Mystis”, which contains a precious item in it. When he looks at his chest, he sees within himself a faint flame, just as she said.

It is in this way that his eternal struggle alongside the girl begins. (Source: AnimeNFO)

It’s kinda hard to explain by myself. But any girl with long red hair, red eyes, and a samurai-style blade with diamond shapes on the handle who fights against Crimson Detizens or whatever they’re called catches the attention of me.

The floating guy is the master Crimson Detizen, Hunter. The doll he is carrying is Marianne (you can barely see her). The red-haired girl with embers flying off her is Shana. The guy with brown hair who’s really stunned (you just can’t see it) is Yuji.

When Shana’s not fighting anybody, she has black hair, brown eyes, and, apparently, a love for melon bread. ^_^

So I’ve been addicted to this series. Yeah. I’ll go and finish the episode now. That picture up there is where I’m up to, so well, I wanna see what happens next! BT out!

*dashes*

Here’s one more epic image:

 

*fangirl squeal*

I got tickets to the Carnival of Madness tour for my birthday!

 

Yes. I’m excited. I’m such a fangirl. Deal with it.

It’s not until the end of the summer, though. I want to look forward to it, but it’s hard to with the thought that I would go back to school soon after.

Evanescence… Halestorm… same tour… wow.

As for the other 3 groups. I like Chevelle’s song “The Red” and I’ve been listening to one of their albums. And the other two… I need to research on them a bit more.

BT out from this fangirl post…..

AAAAHHH!

 

A lot of things to worry about this month:

1. My 14th birthday is on Friday! Can’t wait for that! But I have no clue what I want…
2. Oh my goodness gracidelias, middle school graduation! In September, I’ll be a freakin freshman. o.o
3. Most of you guys are enjoying summer vacay, but me? I’m studying for finals. *groans*
4. And my last day’s not until June 2o-something.
5. I can’t wait till the Avengers comes out on DVD. I love the movie! (although it just released last month)
6. BRAVE!!!
7. More studying for finals…
8. Gotta finish my three-part special on another blog!
9. Tons and tons of weekend parties (graduation things, birthday things, etc…)

Phew. June will be a busy month for me.

Ah well. BT out. I gotta study for a bunch of finals.

 

The Strange Case of a Over-vast Mind

I started getting into this band called Halestorm, and they rock.

You know me, I like to rock a bit. That explains why my game avatar looks like she’s just been dragged out of a rock show.

Well… also…

I just realized that most of my stories have been pretty dark. Recently, I did a story about a murder mystery. And the other day, I looked into my old books back to those days before I became a blogger. And there’s a bunch of stuff.

There’s my first attempt at a Greek mythology-related story (unfinished) … a diary book I actually finished (back in 2010)… Elaysi’s Chosen (remember that?), another Greek  mythology-related story that is unfinished… a paranormal Romeo and Juliet story (unfinished) … a dramatic story me and one of my real-life friends made up about this immigrant (abandoned story) ….an unfinished scary story about a messed-up spa… a mystery story that I quickly got bored with… and a story about a poltergeist ringleader and then  its unfinished sequel.

Wow. I  have a bunch of stuff on there. Especially a whole lot of unfinished/abandoned stories. Know what it’s like to have bunch of story ideas going at you during a time of brainstorming?

Also, there are a bunch of made up songs, including “Who I Am”, the song I made up long before “The Unwanted One”, yet became another abandoned story.

I feel bad. I had all those stories. Also, I remember this story about this troubled orphan girl who died after this very mean person shattered the sole picture of her and her parents… and then she becomes a ghost to seek vengeance against the very mean girl. (Wait… doesn’t that sound kinda familiar?) But I deleted it… maybe I’ll go back to it since my ”evil ghost obsession” has returned?

As for “Only Fair”, I keep on becoming scared that I’ll abandon it too, cause it’s for the writing challenge. But… I have so many ideas in my mind as well as a series to manage… so much…

Wow.

You can say I have a vast imagination… after all… I have this other quote…

“Even though things cannot happen in real life, there is one place where anything is possible: your imagination.”

I worry sometimes that I’m too caught in making too many story ideas that I end up leaving behind old ideas.

 

Well…

I finally submitted my drawing for the BOTB art trade.

And my lateness was due to overwhelming school work mixed in with procrastination during free time.

Well, anyways, while I’m making this post, might as well tell you guys something significant in my life.

Many of you know my obsession with fantasy. Some of you know my fascination with ghosts. But not any one of you know that I will be playing a (friendly) ghost in my school’s spring play that no one has ever heard of.

Yeah, that’s right. I’m playing a ghost. Even more, a librarian.

A librarian that has the power to take kids back in time.

I’ve always wanted to play a ghost…  but one thing that I’ve never been…

…is a villain in a play. Oh sure, I’ve acted out some of my own villains’ dialogue. And I also think villainous thoughts when my gym teacher makes me run/jog a mile every “Fitness” Friday (one thing that I am NOT is an athlete). Yet… I’ve never played a villain in a play.

Hmm…

*speaks out loud a line from a villain from one of my stories* Miranda, Miranda, Miranda. Still as curious as ever. Shouldn’t you have known by now? A soul is all we want…

*thinks* No, no, no…

Well,  I’m taking drama class in high school. And also, I need to learn to keep a straight face when I see other actors acting scared of my ghost character.

Well, at least with a villain, I can hide my need to laugh with a smirk.

Ah well, for now, I’ll continue playing as good guys…

BT out!

 

It’s been a while, and I needed something to post about…

So please enjoy this random drawing!

 

Only Fair: Chapter One

This is the story of how I met her. The girl that changed my life forever. I still remember her soft silky voice like it was yesterday. Lilliana Nathalia Gerheart. Why did she have to go? Why did she have to return to her home? Her true home?

My name is Oliver Sanders, and this is the story of how I fell in love with a fairy.

CHAPTER 1: Silk

Talk of a new student has been going around like wildfire. And I ended up being one of the first to know. Because I saw her, my eyes helped me see her. I was happy they did.

She had a beautiful smile. As beautiful as the moon and stars glimmering together in the night sky. Her eyes were as blue as the sky on a clear day. Her hair was blond, like the sand on a clean beach.

The part I noticed about her most was her soft, silky voice. She used it like it was precious. Soft, sweet, personable.

“What are you doing staring at her?” Brendon asked me, snapping my out of my sudden daydream.

“Brendon! Don’t do that!” I snapped at my friend. I still stared at her. She turned at me, just a glimpse, and continued walking right on by, heading on to her new class. She was being guided by Alice Opal, a popular girl in our school. Alice has everything: a smartphone, a fancy red car… an attitude problem… she’s just holding it in right now. I could tell that she’s envious through her grey eyes. While the new girl…

“Oliver!” Brendan shouted. I really wanted to slap him right now. But then he notified me that the bell had rung for the next class.

Family Consumer Science class was next, and I noticed that the new girl was in my class. She looked at her cooking supplies and smiled, gentle, warm.

I looked sullenly at my tray of ingredients. We were making breads. Ms. Wenston, the teacher, called this the “Bread and Pastry Test”. Ms. Wenston always thought us students were these expert chefs and make a dish perfectly. Why did I have to have a perfectionist teacher?

I looked at the new girl again. She was preparing the ingredients, gracefully and gingerly, as if she put care into a dish.

I just smashed mine together. And I rolled mine out and rolled it up. A “croissant”. Really, I needed to improve.

The new girl was making rolls. She gracefully kneaded her ingredients together, like it was precious, again. Why can’t I do that?

I stashed my “croissants” in the oven and waited impatiently, still watching her. She, using her dexterous touch, placed the tray of dough in the oven. She set the timer and waited patiently, oven mitts ready.

My croissants were done, and I put them out of the oven. Darn, they look horrible.

I swear, no one would be able to tell these were croissants. I tasted one, hesitantly, and it was horrible.

When she took her rolls out of the oven, they looked perfect. She even glazed them with HONEY. HONEY. The teacher gave her a wink as she walked by.

“Wonderful job, Lilliana.”

As she noticed my croissants, she picked one up and took a bite out of it. For a second, there was a look of disgust present on her face as she tried to consume my concoction.

“Nice try, Oliver,” Ms. Wenston said to me, “you may need a little extra help.”

“I can help.”

I turned and saw Lilliana coming towards me, disarming, caring, gentle. She handed me one of her honey rolls. I took a gentle bite out of it. It was so delicious.

“I’m Lilliana, but some people call me Lili. It’s nice to meet you!”

“I’m Oliver,” I replied nervously.

She looked down at my croissants, “Oliver, I think I know what the problem is. Besides from the fact you rolled it up awkwardly, there is too much salt in there.”

“I’ll roll it up better next time. And add less salt.”

She nodded and walked away, back to her table. Lilliana had just walked to me, me, and gave me cooking advice. Something felt special about that.

end of Chapter One

 

The 3 Reasons I Started Liking Superheroes.

1. A few weekends ago, I saw SPIDERMAN: TURN OFF THE DARK on Broadway, and it was pork chops and awesomesauce. I had practically all the songs stuck in my head.
2. I discovered that Wonder Woman has something to it that I like: Mythology ^_^. Find the perfect superhero that meets your mythology needs. ^^
3. I picked up a Wonder Woman comic book in a store (I didn’t buy it) and was amazed in a snap. Great pics. Awesomesauce.

Aw, come on . What’s wrong with liking superheroes? Nothing.

Now, I need to find that Wonder Woman DVD…

*another case of random-useless-post-oisis*

 

 

 

The Things I Didn’t Know Song

Rebecca Black made a new single!
I didn’t know that!
Wonder Woman is a Greek amazon!
I didn’t know that!
Oh why oh why I never knew this?
Why oh why am I such far behind in life??

Temple Run is the game everyone’s playing.
I didn’t know that!
The thing I was looking for was in my backpack all along!
What’s the point of this song?
To think of things I didn’t know before!

… well, that’s it for now in the song. This is what happens when I get bored. And seriously, I didn’t know this stuff until either a few days ago or today!

Why oh why am I so far behind in life?!

BT out from discovering another Greek Chic thing!

… yeah I know this was a pointless random post.

 

My Overwhelming Nyan Cat Obession Caused Me to Start a Blog and Story

Today… well… I kinda made a new blog. It’s called A Nyan Cat story.

It’s a story series blog about, well, Nyan Cat! You’ll have to go to the blog to see the story so far. In the meantime, here’s my graphic art I made to promote it!

I might make new parts once a week or so (or when I get the chance to) and here’s the link to the site:
