Another Sa-turd-ay

Bleh, another sa-turd-ay, but today wasn't an RDA day-luckily, I mean, have you seen the weather outside? There is a river running through my backyard!

So, what have I been doing this week? Homework, school work, sose excursion, etc, etc. And what else? Well, I have contracted a mutant relative of the flu (I cant have the actual flu as I had the flu vaccine a few weeks ago) so I feel like #%&^ right now. I've been writing a lot and I updated my fic yesterday, the stats are (atm):

6 chapters, 61 reviews (1 review since I put it up last night), 2364 hits, 12 favorites, 30 alerts (+1)

So, yeah, I am rather disappointed with the reviews at the moment but I will just have to see what happens tomorrow (maybe I'll get the chance to throw a spaz at my readers for not reviewing-I-amazingly-got 16 reviews for the 5 chapter so I dont know what happened with this one)

As for my user stats, here they are:

Favorite of 13 members, alerts of 8 members, submitted 459 signed reviews, archived 63, 721 words and there are now 1062 hits on my profile page ^^ (YAY!)

So that's basically everything that I have been doing this weekend/the two days that I was off school and partly dead.

Today

First off, I would like to start this post with a picture that I found on Twilight Australia:

I think its quite sweet :P

And for the rest of this post I will talk about my new obsession with music...and not just any music:

Tank, Farenheit, Danson Tang, Jay Chou, etc.

There is no possible way that you could scare me Sheryl, I love it! And yes, the remix is very, very catchy!!!!

I have submitted 430 signed reviews on my ff.net account and there has been 1042 hits on my profile page ^^ (I guess the really like to pull their guns out and take shots at my profile :P) If I favourite 7 more stories then I will have favourited 200 stories, exactly

I am currently in the process of rewriting the first 2 chapters of New Hope/Shattered Sanctuary and hopefully I will have them done by tomorrow so that I can put them up with my next chapter. It's rather darker now than the humorous start that it got off to the first time around, here's a little taste of the very, very start:

A lone horn sounded from the dark forest, it cried out in the silence for a moment before it was cut off sharply, the scout pole axed from his horse. The watch on the walls at New Hope quickly signaled the alarm, Scanran raiders had surrounded the camp.

The commander of the camp watched from the main wall as her troops ran to raise the gates and man the battlements. It had been a month since the last attack on her camp and she had foolishly thought that they would be safe.

A flash of mail in the corner of her vision distracted her for a moment, thoughts of her friends flooding her mind. Neal had been among the first to fall, his magic of no use against a Scanran’s lance. His father had wept over his son’s body until an arrow bloomed from his back, another one to his temple following in quick succession. Kel had frozen in shock beside the bodies, endangering herself, until someone had grabbed her by the waist and dragged her down to sit against the wall.

She felt numb, apart from everything that was happening around her. She sat, motionless, as the Scanran’s flooded from the forest like oil across water. The walls were quickly overrun and the clang of sword fighting began to invade Kel’s thoughts. She stayed detached from her surroundings until someone fell down in front of her, blood pooling before her from a wound in the man’s side. Her heart shuddered as she realized that Dom was the man before her, clad in the mail of the Own and clinging to a bow that had fallen with him. He was with his uncle and cousin now, in the realms of the dead.

Kel turned her eyes from Dom to see a raider stood over her, broadsword grasped in a two handed grip. This would be her end as well.

Yeah, so it is a lot darker than the first write, but dont worry, there will still be quite a bit of humour in it xD

And something else that I must add in here, the baseball scene sounds kick-ass! (lolololol)

"Catherine Hardwicke, who's directing the scene for her adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's bestselling young-adult novel "Twilight," is excited about the sequence in which balls are hit with the force of cannon blasts and gravity-defying catches are the norm -- and about one gag in particular. In it, two players "are in competition to catch the same ball and have a huge, crazy midair collision 20 feet up in the air when a huge crash of thunder resounds," making it appear as though their clash created the resounding boom. One of them also "totally climbs up a tree crazy-style and catches a ball midair -- like way at the top of the tree. It's a really fun stunt.""

Sa-turd-ay, again!

Bleh, sa-turd-ay.

Okay, just to set the scene, I am sat at my computer, reading fan fics (multi-tasking!) and listening to Danson Tang (Ai Wo) So far I have listened to the whole album 3 times ^^

So...what happened today...lets go back to when I woke up...


Because I had RDA (Riding for the Disabled) today I had to get up extra early (for me at least) meaning 6 o'clock. When I woke up I found it funny that my alarm clock wasn't going but I usually sleep right through it anyway so I got up and turned my alarm clock off. After I had eaten my breakfast and found my RDA 'uniform' (yellow shirt which says 'Riding for the disabled' on the back-and it doesn't say that I'm a volunteer, not a rider!) I looked at the clock and saw that it was 10 to 7 (I have to be out of the house for 7) so I went to wake my dad up.

When he woke up, he took one look at the clock and said 'you do know that it's 10 to 6'....dammit. It turns out that I woke up a whole hour early and I have no idea why (I didn't go to sleep until sometime around midnight last night) So I got out Pride and Prejudice and sat on the couch reading until 10 to 7 (I read 6 chapters)

When I got to RDA it was FREEZING COLD!!! There was rain all over the fences and the horses were very, very tired. I signed in, found my badge (its very distinguishable because it is the one that looks like the horse is bleeding because the ink has run-I was out in the rain a lot last year) and went outside to see what I could do.

I brushed Bunny and picked her hooves out but I didn't saddle her because I'm not very well...practised at that (I'm very good at taking saddles off though) I then said hello to most of the horses there and met Chiko who is a new skewbald (chestnut coat with white splodges on her back and sides) shetland pony-and he is actually nice! (*gasp* shock horror)

I sidewalked in the first lesson for Lace and led Star in the second lesson (where she bit me on the knuckles-but luckily it was only a light nip and I only have a few red marks) I took a rest in the third lesson and cleaned out all of the water buckets and put the hay back into the tubs.

I led Bunny the fourth lesson and I had a very nice rider who loved to talk (which was very, very good because I usually find that I don't know what to say) Then came lunch which was fun to say the least (one guy, lets call him Emmett, crushed five cans, broke a window and stuffed a squeaky toy down his pants all in half an hour)

I sidewalked for....a horse that I cant remember in the fifth lesson and my arm really ached after that lesson because I had to hold the riders leg for the whole lesson. Then, in the sixth lesson, I ended up sidewalking with Steele and I ended up on his left side and he hates having sidewalkers on his left side so he kept trying to kick me.

Just for the fun of it, here's a list of the horses and the problems that they have:

Star: She bites when you do her girth up and she bites when you trot.

Steele: He kicks at anyone on his left side and has 'little man syndrome' because he's a shetland.

Jenny: Hates having sidewalkers, needs blinkers and likes to nibble on jumpers (and anything else thats on your person)

Shilo: SLOW!!! He refuses to go and hates having people infront of him.

Tara: Slow, slow, slow. She also has a mean attitude and will try to bite you.

Holly: Bites when you brush her, saddle her, do her girth up...she just bites. She also doesn't know the meaning of 'STOP' or 'WOAH!', but other than that she's a beautiful horse.

Cascade: He has 'big man syndrome', he likes to make a mess with his food-a BIG mess-and he hates Harry so you can't put the two naywhere near each other, has random mood wings. (My friend and I nicknamed him Jasper)

Chiko: Impatient and very vocal

Lace: She bites when you do the girth up and I think she has something against me.

Bunny: Can be slow and tempermental, can bite, can kick, has random mood swings, etc.

So everyone has a problem! Hurray T.T

Well, when I got back from RDA, mum dragged me out to Video Ezy and I found Howl's Moving Castle so now I own the non-pirated DVD, MINE ALL MINE!!! I also got raspberry fanta which probably explains why I'm hypo at the moment.

I guess that explains my day so far, boy do I love Sa-turd-ay's...Sunday is going to be a...cow....

300 Hits

Yep, so this blog has had over 300 hits....that was all that I wanted to say :P

More

Okay, all the stuff below this looks suspiciously like fan girl ramblings-BUT ITS NOT!!!!

Maybe I should try talking about something other than fan girl stuff...such as...my mind is blank.

Today is...(checks calender)...Sa-turd-ay and I didn't have RDA this morning so I accidentally slept in and I haven't done any of my homework yet and I've spent all of today on the internet and.....my mind is blank again.

Anyway.......I shall be back when I can think of something else to say....

Rant

I think its about time that I had one of these and todays subject is the Twilight movie (did I hear a groan in the background?) I really just want to make my point with the cast (no offence intended) so, heres my opinion.

Ashley Greene-I love her! What is wrong with everyone, of course she is beautiful and she suits Alice (lets see anyone who flames about her do better!)


Of course you arent going to find an actor who is both short enough and old enough to play Alice, it is basically impossible. And I think that its about time for everyone to lay off her hair, there is a limit as to how short you can cut your hair and whether or not it will suit you. Of course she cant just randomly chop her hair off-then all of the fans will be saying: EWW what's with her hair? - either way, you cant win.

Robert Pattinson-Okay, maybe he isnt a Greek God but has anyone seen one of those around lately? The image that Stephenie has created for Rob to fill is pretty much impossible (although he is doing the best that he can to) Yes, his hair may look a little weird but doesn't Daniel Radcliffe's?


Yes, that is Daniel Radcliffe and his...mustache?

And who can forget the....mullet like being on his head in the movies

So...why does everyone like Daniel so much? If he can have hair like that and still be considered 'on of the hottest guys in the universe' (not my own words) whats so wrong with Rob's hair? And some people say that it isn't just his hair, its his face as well. If anyone wants to say that he is the worst possible choice for Edward and that he is 'hell ugly' I think that they should attatch a picture of themselves and see how they compare.

Kristen Stewart-She is beautiful. And to tell the truth, I didnt really like the A Series of Unfortunate Events anyway so I think that there is no better actor. I dont see how anyone can critisise her, I shall say again, you can only really say that someone is ugly if your prettier than them yourself and even then it whats on the inside that matters more.

I think that I'm done with this rant now and I will probably regret later anyway (when the movie comes out and I am proven wrong but then I will let everyone laugh at me). Hm....I cant remember what else I was going to say....

Except from Catherine Hardwicke is awesome and Stephenie Meyer all but rules the universe ^^

Edit

This is something else that I found from a google search:

Hmmm....

Hmm....Stuff....

Fanfiction is annoying, it is taking over my life!!! Well....maybe not, but anyway.

I feel good today, I got the longest review that I've ever had on The Road Not Taken and it was from one of my fav authors too. Nollie Marie update her story and it was brilliant (fluffy but brilliant) and she updated her blog (sadly there was a fire at her uni) Kaleb Nation updated his blog too and he had a great idea about hiding in some bushes and ambushing Stephenie Meyer at an airport (I think he should go for it ^^ lol)

I checked on one of my other fanfiction accounts and there were quite a few reviews that made me go YAYAYAYAYAY!!!!! Such as:

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AMAZING STOURY!!! AMAZING WRITER!!!EPILOGUE AND FLUFF!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or

Ha Ha!!! Love your story. you are such a great writer.
Oh and yes i would like you to write and epilogue!!!!

HOLYCRAPILOVETHISSTORYANDICAN'TBELIEVEIT'SOVER!
*takes deep breath* well that was a workout!
I'd just like to say how much I enjoyed this story and how good you are at writing it! Continue writing, if not always on this site!
*errika

Or

Aaaah, Beetle Juice, Beetle Juice, what can I say? Great job! I will say, you are the best writer still on FanFiction.

Yeah...so you get the idea ^^

So I have been reading ff's this week and I plan to write the next chapter of SS tonight (which shall include a hungover-Dom and the refugees) I have also been writing something Twilight based in my old school file so when I was looking for stuff to study for my science test I ended up reading the story instead.

I am also trying to convert my mum to Twilight-ism...lets see how I go ^^

-Jess-

And expect more updates soon MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I Lolz

Which Twilight novel character are you?

You're Jasper Hale - You have a calming personality and a simplistic way of looking at life. People like to be around you because you can help keep peace and are friendly to everyone. Although you do have a quiet side, you would be well balanced with a bubbly, spunky mate.
Take this quiz!

Now lets see if this works (I messed a bit with the HTML to get rid of an annoying message) I cracked up so bad when I read this ^^ and the next time I update I will actually write a bit instead of just putting up quizzes/pictures/other random junk

And this is an extra edit, I couldn't resist when I found this-it is absolute GOLD!!!!! (just take a look, I was laughing until I cried)

*Pulls self up from floor* In the words of Mr Bui "OH MY GOD!!!"

And here is another one (no I didn't photoshop it) I found this in my random internet search of 'Edward Cullen'
