My Face When- Lord of the Rings

Welcome to another My Face When! I think you guys liked the last ones, so here ya go! Enjoy!

My face when I said I would post on Wednesday and it's Friday already.
(Oh.. you noticed that, did you?)

Your face when I say I will post on Wednesday and it's Friday already...



My face when I finish a book 
and the sequel isn't out yet. 

My face whenever I do math.

My face when my siblings are saying the same thing over 
and over and over and over and I say
"The next person to say that will get a smack!" 
and then my dad says it...

My face at the end of Poldark season 1.
(Spoilers)

My face when I wants- wait a second that isn't even a face! Who is writing this thing??

My face when we are watching a movie as a family
and then there is a curse word, or unnecessary reference.
(Are you kidding me, the same thing again?!)
(If you got that quote you are my new favorite person.)


My face when I got zero sleep last night, for no reason 
whatsoever except my brain wouldn't shut up
and my little brother wants me 
to play with him.

My face when I quote an awesome movie (aka, the Lego Movie) 
and no one gets it.

My face when I am quoting the Lego Movie, 
and someone DOES get it!!!!

My face when I am talking to some other people
and they bring up some popular singer/book/movie
(*laughs as if I know exactly who they are talking about* 
*thinks "what the heck are they talking about??"*)

My face when I hear a clever pun.
Especially if I thought of it.

What I think my face looks like when I first get up in the morning.

What I really look like. 

Aand that just about wraps it up for today, folks! I hope to be back next Wednesday ON TIME, but probably I won't. 
Thank you for reading and chaaat with me in the comments!! I reply to every single one, just so you know. 

Oh! I almost forgot: 


S is for supersweet, it is too a word!
O is for Outstanding, photos, posts, and all!
is for Pragmatic, and wise beyond her years
is for Heartfelt, in every word she writes
is for Incredible at everything she does
A is for Astounding, no more needs be said

Sophia, my dearest friend, you are really and truly everything I said above.
Happy late birthday!

Note: I said I wasn't sure if this was such a good idea last post, but a darling friend and amazing blogger (psst! It was Rae!) told me to go for it!!
So here I am doing it.
Namaarie Mellonamin!!

Snippety Snippety SNIPPETS!!!!!!!!

Well friends, it is I, your darling E, with a post of snippets just like I said!!!!!!
*confetti* Have some cake and waffles!!!!!
Now now calm down, hun, it's not that great.

So I thought I would introduce my story I shall be working on this camp nano!!
I'm not sure how well I will be able to balance this whole missions/writing thing but why not try???
So I actually only have one snippet, and it's all I've written, so sorry? But I will do more and maybe give you snippets from my other WIPs.

Without further ado,

The door opens behind me the moment the cat disappears.
“Come.” My Uncle commands from the doorway, as is his custom. I follow him inside.
His house is large and musty and a mere shadow of it's former glory.
It is filled with piles and stacks of books and papers and odd trinkets. I tried to touch them once. Then Uncle cast a spell on my fingers and they remained in an uncomfortable crossed position for an fifty-three minutes and 12 seconds. I did not like it.
Now, as I follow him, I make a conscious effort to keep my hands to myself. The way is extra dusty and full. I think his possessions move about on their own. They like to clog up passageways and cling to floors. They are rumoured to eat socks and brushes too.
It is quite a path to the Back Garden. The way changes frequently and only Uncle's maps and ingenious mind can navigate them. Or so he says.
At last. We have made it. The steps are the trickiest for Uncle to handle, but I manage very well.
The steps hang in thick air, mostly, many jumps apart and moving frequently. They move about 4 minutes and 3 seconds, but occasionally they move up to 18 milliseconds.
You must jump just before the move, and step only with your right foot, or you will fall. Uncle levitates up on his brushes, but I hop it.
People think brooms fly. It's not true. Only brushes fly, and toothbrushes are the quickest and easiest to steer.
I will get a pair as soon as I am 45.
We have made it to the top, and Uncle is opening the door. He clears his throat and indicates the door with one bushy eyebrow.
I enter.
The Back Garden is in the house itself, yet it has an extensive roof. Uncle keeps a Coughing Zebra here to keep the trees healthy. The Zebra in question is nodding solemnly to me now. I smile and wave back. Uncle clears his throat and I hurry to the only colored thing in the room.
It is a red sack in the shape of a tear drop, spiraling slightly at the top as if hung on an invisible hook.
Which of course is exactly what it is.
I sit down under the sack, and close my eyes. It is warm, so I discard my hat at scarf.
I imagine the giant from whom this year was collected. I imagine it's large nose, and it's purple right eye. I imagine it's green left eye. I imagine deep sorrow, like what I felt when I learnt San Close was real.
Then I deepen the sorrow. I see a tear forming in the green eye and I move in closer, thinking of all the pets that have died. Thinking of pets makes me think of the cat I saw this morning. Then it makes me think of a name for it. Flame. I test the word on my tongue. Then I remember what I am doing and I return to the sad giant. The giant is about to cry now. It rears its head back, opens it's mouth and- 



This is also an entry for the PictoPrompter thingy held over at Smudged Thoughts and it's basically perfection, so go over there and DO THIS WITH ME!!! HERE it is!!

Oh! And just to warn you lovely folks, I will be posting a story I am working on at random times, called An Adventure to Remember. It is the (mostly) true story of me and all my adventures from here onward. I hope you enjoy!!
Namaarie Mellonamin!
~E
P.S. I think Wednesdays will be my posting days.
Sound good?
Tell me vat you sink of my vriting!
Yes. I did just say that in a German accent.
No, don't as me why!!!!?!!!!
Just CUZ.

YES. Yes it is! ...I think?

Because when it's 8:09 pm and you are watching Lord of the Rings and you just got minutes for your phone, the obvious thing to do is write a random blogpost with no apparent point. Right? RIGHT????
Oh... that's only me...

Myself: and Myself!!
I: and I!!!!
Me: *smirks*

Well I have you guys anyway. I guess it's fine then.
LET'S DO THIS!!!

So let's make a list, because they are fun, and make me look like a semi-organized person! (Spoiler: I have no organizational skills whatsoever  I have perfect skills in everything especially organising. Me, shut your mouth.)

I will now make a list of....
What I want to post about on this blog.
I'm feeling a bit scattered and random with all my crashes of info onto you all, so I am going to try to be more consistent and actually DO something so that when I post your head doesn't spin in a million directions a million miles and hour, but instead you are given a pleasant little stay in my little corner of the blogsphere.
Here is what I want to try to do:

•Snippet Stuff
•Vlog Versions
•Serious Scatterings
•Monthly Mundanes

Hopefully once every two months or so I will change one of these blog things into a vlog! So you can see my beautiful face and I can gloat about my bad videoing skills.
Once a month I will share a snippet of my writing, whether that be my WIP or just a randomness I don't know, but it will be something.
Serious Scatterings will be me randomly getting the urge to be serious and share about life and stuff.
And then a monthly update since they seem to be all the rage.

How does that sound??
Also, I'm not sure the birthday thing was such a good idea. Only one person mentioned it in the comments so MAYBE it's a no. Is it??
Oh my gosh, look at me writing such a short post! I'M MAGNIFICENT!
Or am I?
Talk, humans.

Why Is It That I Don't Post and Then When I Do I Just Dump Things All Over You And Leave You With Your Head Spinning And Hopefully Laughing Too??

What is the answer to the ridiculously long title of this post???
Beats me.
Does that mean I will stop the dumping and twirling and joking??? Absolutely not, my dears, absolutely not. *pats your head fondly*

Well my friends, I am back with a LONG post and a lot of things on the agenda! For my last post I just posted a random thing that has been sitting in my drafts- and hoped you all would laugh! It seems to have worked! HOORAY FOR ME!

Me: and Us.
Myself: Always us!
I: Hello, ALL!
Me: Missed me? HA! don't answer that, Myself, they did.
Myself: *innocent eyelid blink* of course darling, of course.
I: *sighs*

Yes yes, they missed you- shush.
Okay, so I HAD a post all made out for the holiday season and our time in Nicaragua- but I didn't post it... for a reason I have yet to discover??
Ahem. Yeah.

First on the list, does the blog look different to you????? THAT'S BECAUSE I HAD IT REDECORATED BY- YES!!! YOU GUESSED IT!!!! THE ONE AND ONLY ALLIE TAYLOR!!!!
Again, she has done an amazing job, seriously go check out her blog!! 20 out of 10 star rating!!!!! Link here: BLAHAHAHA
This may seem abrupt, but I will probably be renovating this blog AGAIN. Because I feel like it? Tell me what you like, what you would like me to add. I could add popular posts of mine or buttons on the sidebar or I DUNNO.

I also want to mention how AWESOME and COOL being part of a team- that is, Nicaragua was!!! I must confess, I found myself lacking in brain occupying activities, but I loved being there, and I didn't actually mind learning Spanish, and I can't wait to go back. Let's see if  I get around to adding pictures in here... probably not, seeing as it's me we're talking about.

We also went to the One Thing conference last year and it was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!! I can't say exactly what or why or how, but duuuude *shakes head* it was gooood. So, if you're ever around KC the last four days of the year, and are interested in a frankly awesome expierence, and love praise and worship to God, well then GO! it was Fantastic! Umm... that pretty much sums up all I got to say! I really hope you all are doing fantastic, but if you aren't, drop a comment- you don't have to say why or what, but I would love to pray for you! Cuz Jesus is spanking awesome, and you won't regret it, I promise. Or else I'll resign as president of the New England chapter of Busybodies Anonymous. (that was from White Christmas, in case you were wondering)

I did NOT, in fact, reach my goal of 100 books due to the serious lack of books to read, but I made it pretty close and here is a list of some of the great books I enjoyed:

  1. Fangirl
  2. The Irresistible Revolution
  3. Theophilos
  4. The Help
  5. The Serpent King
  6. Chasing Vermeer
  7. The Wollstonecraft Detective Agency, The Case of the Missing Moonstone
  8. Kenny and the Dragon
  9. Flora and Ulysses
  10. The Book That Proves Time Travel Happens
  11. The Trials of Apollo, The Hidden Oracle

And those are probably my favorites, or some of them anyway!! The links all go to the Goodreads page- you can read my reviews if you would like.


I have a new thingy I am doing!!! For those peoples whose birthdays have happened in the month I am posting, I shall put in a little something about it- to celebrate their lives and force you to check out their fabulous blogs!! Two birds with one stone, ya knows?

Dear Naomi had a birthday- and you MUST check out her blog HERE. I enjoy her posts immensly, and Happy Birthday to Her!! 

N is for Nonsensical- in the first-rate kind of way
A is for Always, always always fun
O is for Original- have you read her posts?
M is for Melodic, a sunny kind of song
I is for Indefatigable, other names fall short.

Naomi, you are really really awesome, and keep it up!


The other person who had a birthday recently is Cait!!! Her blog is AQUI. She is FANTABULOUS too, and her posts are magnificant.
Happy Birthday to Her Too!

C is for Cake, what else, may I ask?
A is for Amazing, she really really is
I is for Imaginative, and sparky and fun!
T is for Tireless, as we all can tell.

Cait you are amazing, no less, but yes, much more.



CAKE AND WAFFLES FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *CONFETTI* *HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONG* *CHEERS*

If any of you sweethearts have any other birthdays coming up, or know of someone who needs a weird little poem written about them- send them my way! I'll do my best!!


And now, don't worry. I will be boring you with some closing remarks on politics and the World Grass Growing Pact- HA! Not.
What a boring waste of space, in my already boringly wasted blog!! (oh, a little hint for you: I made up the WGGP. I hope..
And as for politics.. lets just say I leave that to the other human beings of this world. I have no interest whatsoever.)

In reality, my closing remarks regard

  • A Vlog- it's Q and A, folks, so ASK ME ALL THE THINGS YOU'VE BEEN DYING TO KNOW. Note: if you wish, you may specify to whom you are asking: E, Me, Myself, or I. If you don't I will just let whoever have a go at it. (Thanks Abbiee, for the idea!!)
  • A Song- sorry guys, I will post it soon!! I promise. Actually, probably two songs. I also have a long list of songs I WANT to cover, so hopefullly in this coming year I will be doing more. If you want me to cover a song- go ahead and tell me, I'll see what I can do!!! Just so you all know, I am doing The Call by Regina Spektor right now, a single of my own (speaking of singles check THIS one out!!! it's to die for), which will be accompanied with a blogpost explaining why I wrote it! Then I will do A Thousand Years, and Wonderful Wonderful Day from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers will probably be next. So tell me!! I would love to do whatever you guys want. 
  • I think that is it!! Thank you for staying with me, my darling faithful followers! You all are, in all honesty, amazing, and I could not ask for more kind and loving peers. 

Me: You aren't going to cry are you?

  • what???? NO. *swipes eyes hurridly*
Myself: Good, because it's time for a joke. Who is ready for this????
I: *groans*
Me: that's it I'm leaving.
Myself: What's brown and bushy?
I: Um... a squirrel's tail?
Myself: ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? NO, IT'S A DEAD BUSH! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

*sighs* *face-palm* What did I do to deserve this?




Oh yeah, here are the pics, courtesy of my little sis:
