December Song- A Cover by E

Hello all you peoples of the Universe!
Hail Martians! Aaye Jupitians! Howdy Neptunians! Hey there All The Rest Of You!! I may or may not come in peace!

As you may have gathered from the title of this post, I have recently done a song cover to Peter Hollens' new song December Song, for a contest that said artist is hosting!
I am relieved, because I was extremely close to not being able to enter at all! What with being in Nicaragua, and the only wifi being turned off for these last three weeks, and all that jazz...yeah. Not too fun!

Me: are you kidding? It was horrible!
Myself: seriously! Almost as bad as no squirrel jokes! Speaking of which, why did the squirrel cross the road?
Me: AAAAGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!
I: um, to get to the other side?
Myself: No! You're such a nut! *snickers* The squirrel crossed the road because it's cousin was on the other side! Hahahahahahaha!!
Me: *imitates Batman's voice* You are so disappointing on so many levels.

That is literally the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
We are just gonna ignore them, okay? Where was I? Oh yes! Entonces, I got the video loaded on YouTube, and I listened to the song exactly 5 times before the app realized I didn't have internet, and failed.
So, all I can say is I hope you enjoy the song! I really love Peter Hollens' songs! A lot of them are covers of songs, and between you and me, *lowers voice to a conspiratorial whisper* Peter Hollens' version is better!

I am hoping to get a Christmasy theme done on the blog! Won't that be spectacular?! Maybe I'll keep it!
Oh! Great news! It's almost Christmas!!!!!!
And..... The contest ends December 9th.
And the winner will be announced December 11th.
More info here: https://peterhollens.com/contest/christmas-song/
And can you tell I am just spouting random nonsense so you don't notice I haven't posted in.... *gulps* a while?
Yeah, I didn't do well with the whole scheduled posting thing. Woops. Well!! To make up for it, I'll show you some snippets of one of my many Work In Progresses. It has no name, but I'm working on it.
Random Fact: I used to have great story names, and no words for the story, and now I have a million trillion words for the story and no names!!

Snippings: 

       Cora and her governess.

“I do not want to get dressed,” she said slowly, as if talking to an infant. “or go downstairs, or see you until I call for you.” she reached Ms. John, and turned her around. “Shoo.”

Cora and Calebs

“I say time for some fun, what about it Calebs?”
“But ma’am, you can’t be thinking of your cousins again. We just finished cleaning up their last mess.” Despite her calm face and voice, Calebs was as close to panicked as she had ever been in her life. Not the cousins. Please not the cousins.
“Indeed I am, Calebs.” Cora smiled, with a clap on the shoulder of her first mate. “I am in need of cheery company. I am still suffering from the after-effects of my party. Say, have you got an after-dinner mint?”

Cora and her Cousins

“So I says to him, 'An after-dinner mint, what do you take me for, a lady?’” the laugher that followed was so loud, it rattled the dishes. Or maybe the Captain was the cause of this. She tended to hit things when she had strong emotions.

The after-effects of Cousins

“I'm sure there are worse things than getting married, Captain.” Calebs grunted, as she rowed to the Valiant. She had all the crew working double time to clean the Captain's cabin, and it wasn't even close to being finished. It seemed the cousins had taken a late night swim and the deck was littered with blankets, ropes, buckets, and an occasional stocking.
“Yes I know, one of them being hangovers.” The Captain rubbed her temples ruefully.

I shall leave you with a journal entry from Cora.

My Darling Princess Cora,  

                        That is how the second of the suitors addressed me today! I rather like it, but he, on the other hand is quite a bore! All he could talk of was himself, and it was so tedious I thought I would scream. Ms. John would have had a fit, and that would have been great fun, but Mother is an absolute terror when roused. I try not to rouse her.

I sigh to think of my lot in life. I cannot wait till I find my Bachelor and can go pirate.

I was forced to wear a dress today, which was quite horrid! Mother threatened me with a corset if I didn't behave, so I am forced to wear dresses the whole day long! Only on the Valiant can I find solace. I wear trousers constantly on it, but I am only on it for a few precious hours a day! It is all quite horrid. I will have yet another suitor this afternoon, and although he will only be my third, I feel as if he will be my thirtieth!


Oh lord, that dratted governess of mine is calling me. I must find the monster who invented governesses and have them tortured and executed for crimes against the state!


Your Charming As Ever Princess and Captain,

Cora




So how do you like it?
Oh, and just for kicks:
                                         

Hahahahahahaha! I love that movie, and that part is the best part in the whole movie! Right?
So, maybe, if I get a favorable response from you humans and you other intergalactic life forms (if you are not any of these, please accept my humble apologies), I will put up more songs. Mahaps covers, probably my own songs, and just fuuun. Oh yeah, and maybe just some normal vlogs. Hey! I got an idea!!!!!! "A really really good idea!" (Laura Carrot, Celery Night Fever)
How 'bouts I have a Q and A vlog?!?!?!?!?! Whaddyou alls think?!
If you are interested, say so, then ask me ANYTHING, and I will (most likely NOT) throw it into the Infinite Abyss of Nothingness! And I will (most likely) answer it! Hooray! *throws snowflakes like confetti* Cake and Waffles for eeevryone!!! Now clean up the snowflakes. And don't get syrup in my new carpet!!!!

~E

Can you believe I forgot to put the video link in this post?!?! Oj my gosh. Well anyway, here it is: 

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MxFqlkn959k

In which I cheat, because A of GG W was quite a while ago now...

Green Gables Week taggy thingabob happened quite a while ago now, but I cheated-

Me: hooray, good for you. GET ON WITH IT
Myself: Once there was this squirrel-
I: You cheated?! 

Shush you old hags. Not now! 
So, this should have posted ages ago but, being me,

Myself: and me!
I: and me!
Me: well I am the prettiest! Plus I have the best squirrel jokes! Once there was a squirrel named Ambrose and he was such a nut he would swim with ducks!! *Laughs heartily*

Okay whatever! I didn't post it yet: the moral of the story. The end! 

Questiones: 1. How did you get introduced to Anne of Green Gables?
Probably my older sisters. My whole family has been an L. M . Montgomery fan club (okay, NOT including my brothers,  but whatever,  they don't count.)

2. Are you more like Anne or Diana? Why?
I like to think I am more like Anne because I have an overly vivid imagination, and I have a passion for writing and getting into scrapes. But I am also NOT fond of talking... okay fine, I can and do talk. A lot. When I so choose. But she can say a dictionary full of words to a person on her first meeting and I am dreadfull shy. It's awfully annoying, y'know? I wouldn't mind being Diana... She is loyal, sweet, funny and has jet black hair! What's not to love? Then again, Havin red hair would be better so....... DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE! IT'S TOO HARD!


3. If Rachel Lydne called your hair as red as carrots how would you react? 
I would think "Wow, she is color blind." And I don't even know what I would say. I might just laugh. Or I guess say "I wish it was." I do wish it was, ever so badly

4. Gilbert or Morgan Harris? 
Um..... to put it mildly NO. CONTEST. GILBERT BLYTHE ALL THE ENTIRE WAY!!!!!

5. Honest opinion on the third Anne film. 
It was so terrible it was sad. It was WAAAAAY off from the books, and Anne seemed too... not Anne. I loved to see Megan Follows and Jonathan Crumbie, but... nah. It can go rot in a ditch for all I care. 

6. Have you seen the New Anne film? 
I have not, nor do I intend to. I have no wish to see my lovely image of the characters and their ways ruined by some new dopey imposter. The. End. 

7. What in your own words is a Kindred Spirit?
Meredith Alvarez. 
Maddie Alvarez
Allie Taylor
Mia Eckstine
Ellie Eckstine
Sophie Morton
Emma Dold
Anna Cantrell
Aka a person who gets my weirdness and is okay with it! Or even better, shares it. 
Aka a person who sticks with me through thick and thin syrup. Who is awesome
Aka whoever loves the Lego Movie
I'm pretty sure I've forgotten some of you so sorry! I love you too, rest assured! 

8.  Movie Gilbert or Green Gables Fables Gilbert?
Can't answer this till I watch Green Gables Fables *scurries off to watch it*
*Scuffles back* gee. This is hard! Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm *hyperventilated breathing* okay, lets go with Movie Gil. He was there first, and has the cutest smile ever. I wish there were more videos with GGF Gil! He was pretty brilliant, considering.

9.  Does anyone know where we can watch Road to Avonlea online?
I didn't go all the way through and check it, but it looks like you can here: http://www.watchseries.ac/serie/road_to_avonlea

10. Favourite book cover? 
I don't know if it is my favorite,  but HERE  is a funny one. 

11. The Films or The Books?
The books, because even though the films are pretty good, NOTHING. BEATS A BOOK. Nope! Nada. Zilch! Notin, honey. You got a problem with that, then you can go try beating up a book, IT JUST KEEPS COMING BACK. Believe me, I've thrown quite a few across the room. They are immortal. Just don't let your pet squirrel near it. Figure it out.


Anyway, thanks you alls for yours patience! I will hopefully be posting a blog soon, as well as more My Face When's!!!!!!!!!! 

Namaste Mellonamin!

Blogger Recognition Award, Bloggiversary, Announcement

Aaye, humans!! As you can see from the title of this post, there is lots on the agenda! So let´s get cracking!

Me: why do people say that? Get cracking what?
Myself: probably jokes... about squirrels. Did you see that? See what I did there? YES! I AM THE BEST AT THESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I: *politely claps*
Me: *rolls eyes*

Now, now girlies! Be nice, or I'm making you be silent for the rest of these posts!
...
Very good, that´s better!

First order of business: Blogger Recognition Award!!!!!!!!! I was tagged by lovely miss Rae! I order you fiends to check out her blog HERE and follow her because she is the best. And her blog has a lot to do with Period Dramas and Jane Austen and other amazing authors like that!!! So, yep, check it out.

Here are the rules for this here blogging taggaroonie:

1. Thank the blogger who tagged you. 
2. Tell a little bit about how you started blogging
3. Give two pieces of advice for new bloggers
4. Nominate 15 other bloggers

Sorry, but I just love this gif to death. Ahem.

1. A HUGE THANK YOU TO DEAR RAE!!!!!!!!! I AM SO HAPPY YOU TAGGED ME AND YOUR BLOG IS THE BEST.


Now lettuce-

Me, Myself, and I: and tomatoes!

Thanks, girls! Ahem.
Let us continue
2. My dear friend Joanna told me I should start a blog. I was sort of appaled by the idea. I also had NO IDEA what to write!!!!!!!! But I asked my sister Abi (also check out  blog HERE, or else. Why am I always threatening you humans? Geez I am so mean. I will change my ways from now on. Ha! Joke.) And I asked mum, and I got both of their approvals so... I did it!!

3. Advice? From me?? Of course, my darlings! I thought you'd never ask.

• First off, you newbies, I will rid you of a nice thought you might have: Blogging is easy. LIE! Blogging is NOT easy, unless of course, you are a super amazing multi-tasking brownie bite, then sure! It is easy. But for the rest of us humans, Joe, it is not. Does that mean it is ridiculously hard and an impossible mission and the world is going to end?!?!?!

                                       
Of course not silly, wipe your little runny nose on this tissue. But it means you should have some dedication, and you should also keep a lot of post ideas handy. You will always run through dry times when your brain is dead and you can't think of what to write, but YOU WILL MAKE IT. You will. So I guess advice number 1: don't give up. I know it's more cheesy than Tillamook factory, but you wil have to deal with it.

• Peice of Advice number 2! Do not expect people to come streaming to your blog in hordes and they will all love you and comment and follow and the world is sunshine and roses. (Yes, I did just quote a silly song from Veggietales.) Keep in mind that a blog is hard work, and you will have to put out effort to get followers. But like I said in the first Peice of Advice: Don't give up. Blogging is a lot of fun, and you WILL see followers eventually. Esspecialy if you follow Rae's advice. What?? You don't know what I am talking about??? THAT'S BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T GO READ HER BLOG. Shame on you! 

Sorry my lovely followers and random readers, I am in a bit of a yelling mood today.

4. Now I must nominate 15 other bloggers.... okay, let's do this.

Maddie
Allie
Abi
Deborah
Abbie
Naomi
Uhhhhh
Hmmmm
???????
(and to steal Rae's idea)
Anyone wearing something pink
Anyone standing up while reading this
Anyone with freckles
Anyone who loves/hates/has a passing likeness for Doctor Who
Anyone who wants to!

Hooray!!! I finished! And sort of cheated... but, I'm not really sorry.... anyway, shame on me.



And now, My Lovely Humans.....

Happy 1st Blogiversary!!!!!!!

Yes, you read right! I have been blogging for a year!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crazy huh? And I've done only 13 posts! Oh yeah, I almost forgot. *fireworks* CAKE FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!! AND WAFFLES TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Thank you, Abbie and Cait for getting me into these things. Check out their blogs too, people.)

Most bloggers, I have noticed, host a giveaway or something on their blogiversaries, but I have nothing to give away! So, you will have to just eat some cake and waffles and be satisfied, deary. Sorry.

While we are celebrating, I want to thank each and every one of my 11 followers. You guys are the best, and you all deserve a lifetime supply of chocolate, but I can´t give it to you. *sobs* I did´t find a golden ticket.... and SOMEONE won't give me any Wonka bars! *frowns*

Anyway, I thank you all. You are the best.

Okay, party over, laast order of business!!!!!

An Announcment.... *scary music* no! Not that one, Me! The other one! *wedding march* NO! Not that one either!!! Well, I guess I should mention, while we are in the mood (Glen Miller), my sister is engaged, and it is SO FABULOUSLY EXCITING!!!!!!! Myself, play the right one, will you? *plays peppy polka music*  *cringes* Okay, whatver, just skip the music.

The Announcement is I WILL BE GONE UNTIL CHRISTMAS 

No, don't cry!! Have some cake, there's some left! Waffles, anyone? Okay, now that we are done freaking out, there´s some good news. 

I have prepared a bunch of posts that I will schedule to post so that you dear humans will not be completely without me! I will probably not be able to reply to your comments immediately, as I have been doing, but still please comment, I will answer as soon as possible. Okay? It's really going to be fine. I have some great ones planned, (another My Face When!) and when I get back from Nicaragua I will post some about our mission, I hope and update and answer comments. Auf wiedersehen for now, my lovelies! And I guess it is redundant, but I like to end my posts with it, so:

Namaarie Mellonamin!

My Face When- Bleak House

Hey peeps! Ew. Did I really just say that?

Myself: YEP! You did!!! I am witness to the fact, and I am prepared to testify in court
Me: Totally! Just like I saw that squirrel crawling on the power line, yesterday- *gasps* I SHOULD TURN THAT INTO A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hold on, let me think....
Myself: *facepalm*
I: um, maybe not?

anyway, I did NOT just call you humans (if you are not human, just tell me in the comments, I'll make sure to stop saying it) peeps the very THOUGHT is UNTHINKABLE!!!!!!!!! Ahem, moving on.
So, I found a FANTILIANT post, on a blog that is also FANTILIANT, it is so FANTILIANT it is FANTILIANT

Myself: if you say that word one more time, you might find yourself with a bent nose.
Me: *muttering*
I: wait, is she lost?
Myself: *gives look of disgust*
I: what? I was TRYING to make a joke! *sigh*

Like I was saying, it is absolutely FA- er, fantastic! Check out her blog HERE or ELSE, I'll send Myself to hound you, and as you all can tell, she is quite... erm, brutal.

Myself: Thank you.
I: You're welcome
Myself: *glares* not YOU

Okay, onward, Christian soldiers!!

My face when Me makes another squirrel joke.

(I fear for her sanity)

My face when people say pink is a manly color.

(*voice dangerously calm*

Say what?)

Someone says Doctor Who is dumb...

(*silence*)

Then,

(Oh! It's a joke! Funny)

Then they say it is not a joke:

Then:

My face when my little siblings aren't doing their chores.

(Glaring icey daggers is quite effective)

My face when my little sister is telling another stranger the story of my family's life.

My face when people say they don't like to read and/or don't like books.

My face when I'm discussing a book I love with another person who loves it.

Just kidding, my face is more like:

Except with a lot more exclamation marks, and quoting and sqeals and a lot less dancing.

My face when my little brother announces everything he is currently doing to the world.

My face when I get a REALLY good story idea.

(ooh, I am such a genius, I gotta go tell someone)

My face when no one gets my story idea

(Fine, I guess it is just too complicated for your tiny human brain to process.)

My initial reaction when a favorite character dies

Then:

(What?? No!! *proceeds to wail and mourn for days*)

My face when I am defending a book, or homeschooling, or one of my siblings.

(Yes, I am one of many talents. One look can mean many things. This face could also mean, you have a little black thing on your tooth)

My face when someone says they don't like the Lego Movie

(Hint: I love the Lego Movie.)

My face when I find a witty and awesome come back- after the argument has ended, so it is no use at all. (NOOOOOO!!!!!!)

My face when I think of a witty and AMAZING come back- before the conversation is over! (Take that! Ha! Ha!)

(Yes, my friends! It is I, the great master of witty and amazing comebacks. No, no, don't bow to me! Oh well, I suppose now that you're already kneeling, go ahead)

The End

So, I doubt that was as funny as Rae's Pride and Predjudice, but it is a lot harder than it looks! I'll leave you with a hilarious thingy and a gif, because I want to

hehehe, the best right?? 

And from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, because, why not?

Well! That about wraps it up for today, folks! As you can tell, my schedule for posting is.... a bit off. Okay, it's not working at all. But that's fine because I have no idea how often I´ll be able to post in Nicaragua. Anyways, I have a few questions for you all before I leave you in the dark once more.

Did you like it when I asked specific questions of you knaves, or would you like me to be nice and just have the questions, or no questions or... anything else?

Also, did you like this My Face When, and do you want more?

Plus, anything in particular you want me to post about?? I'll be happy to oblige

And last, what do you think of me posting my reviews of books I've read on here? Oh, and movies. Thoughts?

Well, I'll be seeing ya!

Namaarie Mellonamin

Hello, humans! (And all you other life forms. Or ghosts. Or whoever happens to be reading this.)

I have not posted for... wait a sec... almost a month. Not since August, which is-

Me: far too long for you poor souls to be without my brilliance.
Myself: and my squirrel jokes.
I: Hi guys! I'm so glad to see you again!

Oh yeah, they're here too. Hello, girls.
I suppose I should update you all on my existence! Lets see... since I last wrote a post, I have been to Texas for a mission appeal. That went well.  Nothing to report. I have read a numerous number of books, and listened to many audio books too. I have listened to a bunch of fun music too. Ummmmm... I have decided that I will be adding more gifs to my posts because I love gifs! Also, we will-

Myself: tell more squirrel jokes! Do you know how to catch a squirrel?
Me: why would you want to catch a squirrel?
I: um, you use a net?
Myself: you climb up a tree, and act like a nut!*laughs*
I: *smiles* you are getting better, at those!
Me: I refuse to look at you.
Myself: *falls off couch* I- can't- can't- b-breathe!!

Wow. Just wow. And what is this with the interrupting me? Quit it!
So, I was going to do more in the FLC, but.... well, it didn't work out, so... I have the picture for the creature I made up, and also just so you know, TEAM DRAGON WON!

Thank you so much Kathryn for doing that!
Voila!  My creature. I used a 0.5 mm led mechanical pencil, and watercolor paints to color.

FOR CLARIFICATION: she is wearing a dress, and the two darker blue squiggly shapes are NOT her legs. They are part of the dress. Her legs are not visible due to the fact that she is wearing a dress. And the lighter blue shape is NOT a tail. It is ALSO part of the dress. Just thought I'd let you know.


Books I've read:
I may have mentioned some before, but who cares?

1. The Percy Jackson and the Olympians 
2. Demigod Files
3. Trials of Apollo
4. Mister Max the Book of Lost Things
5. Sure Signs of Crazy 
6. Wings of Fire

I know I have read more but I can't think of them at the moment!

Audiobooks I've listened to:

1. Sparkling Cyonide
2. Peril at End House
3. 4:50 from Padington
4. A Body in the Library
5. Hercule Poirot's Christmas
6. The ABC Murders

And I think that is it!

SPEAK, KNAVE!

What have you been doing lately?  Read any good books? ANY AGATHA CHRISTIE FANS OUT THERE?? Any books you would reccomend that I can add to my 59,0000 item long To Be Read list??? Who else has read any of the books I have? (Or audiobooks) My ears ache from hearing my own voice. 

Namaarie, Mellonim!
