More Awards *blushes*

So the ever fantastic Falen gave me a really cool looking award:

Isn't it pretty?

I feel very stylish now. The rules of this award is to tell you five unusual things about me. This is going to be difficult, because most things about me are unusual. So I have to think of things I haven't said yet, and that I'm not planning on saying in the near future.

Okay, I'm making stuff up because I am currently thinking about a girl named Scotch and how she's going to handle Obadiah grabbing her from behind and dragging her away from the school parking lot....

1) I don't know how unusual this is, but I'm writing a story based off of a private joke. I know I mentioned this before, I'm just so excited about it. I did an outline thing for the first time ever (practically) because ... Okay, I don't remember who, but someone (I think Palindrome/Hannah or Falen) said to try one so I did, and I'm already almost half-way through with the first draft. Woo-hoo!

Doesn't this story look amazing??

2) I talk about death and dying on a regular basis, and I kill people almost every day. Okay, not REAL people, people in my books. It's just fun to say that to people because they freak out and their eyes bug out like twenty feet.

Knives... Mwahahahaha... >:)

3) I like to say things just to see how people react. Is that usual?

4) I miss being able to vacuum with my one friend. :( We used to race and see who could finish first. I don't think many people miss vacuuming.

So Exciting! (Definitely a 4 on the E.o.M)

5) Uh... I only drink hot chocolate with crushed up candy canes melting inside.

You may hate it, but I LOVE it, Sonshine

There you have it. *bows* Many thanks to Falen who rocks my socks off.

This blog award will be handed on to:

Dangerous With a Pen, because she is hilarious and stylin'

Palindrome a.k.a Hannah, because of her dancing muse man, which makes me laugh every time

SonshineMusic, because without her I'd be dumped in a loony bin somewhere

Percy Jackson Review

So my sis SonshineMusic and I went to see the Percy Jackson movie tonight. Tah-dah:

So this is my review of thus mentioned movie:

It began as most movies do, opening credit type-words that inform you as to who has made the movie. The first name came up, fine, boring whatever. But then the words/letters come up that say: 1492 and my sis and I turn and say at EXACTLY THE SAME TIME:

"Columbus sailed the ocean blue

In fourteen hundred ninety-two."

Well, at least we started two before we started our theatre laughs. This is where you take your sweatshirt, pull the sleeve over your hand, and then shove your hand in your mouth to muffle the giggly noises.

Keep in mind, the movie has barely even started and we're already laughing. So we settle down and are reading the names that come up on the screen. There's Sean Bean, and some other people, and then the name Pierce Brosnan comes up (or however you spell his name) and in complete unison Sonshine and I turn and theatre whisper: "Peirce Brosnan!" And this is where I whispered: "Isn't he that guy mum think is cute?" Sonshine shushed me.

"I'm a centaur!"

Then Sean Bean (aka Boromir) came onto screen and there is only one thing I could think of:

I am muffling laughter while my sweatshirt sleeve is getting wet. The rest of the movie was pretty uneventful, sweatshirt-wise. The actor they got to play Percy was perfect, spot-on. Grover was cast well, and Percy's mum was better than I expected. As soon as I saw Annabeth though I almost ripped someone's face off. She is suppose to be blonde. Why didn't she dye her hair? Why was she making the most ridiculous "I'm-spazzing-out-and-dying" faces? Why in every single shot while fighting did she look like she was thinking "I'm so sexy." Once she was over the "I'm so sexy and spazzing out" she was pretty good.

I'm sexy and spazzing out

There was one other part though, that I must warn you about. When Percy, Grover, and Annabeth went down on their way to Hades they meet the ferryman, Charon. There, lurking in the shadows while stroking an ugly dead-looking bird, was EVIL BLAM!!! He was having tea with Charon (I think I saw a parasol behind his foot). It was most disturbing.

Evil Blam is lurking in the shadows! Look for the parasol!

So over-all it was a good movie. (Other than the Evil Blam sighting, obviously.) It was different than a book, but DUH, movie and books are different mediums, different palettes, different kinds of animals. There were some good line. "This is a pen" being one of the most memorable.

"Pen!"

And the end blip was just hilarious.

Over all I give it a -1 on the E-o-M.
