Meanwhile, in Rivendell . . .

Lately, I've been privileged to get to know  MovieCritic .  We've been bonding over the pain of BBC Robin Hood , dontcha know :D  Go check out the blog -- it's great! Well, "we now come to the point," MovieCritic has recently tagged me for a BBC RH tag!  WELL.  You know me ;) Thanks so much, MovieCritic!  I really appreciate the tag!  Now, as I understand it, this tag was originally created by Rachel at  A Girl's Place  and it has no specific rules; tagging is optional.  Let's get on to the questions!   'Ware spoilers! 1. What's your favourite season?   Like Ruth said in  her answers , I'd probably have to go with season two, even though the ending is Very Not Okay.  In S2, the quality of the show had improved, but it was still NOT TORN ALL TO PIECES BECAUSE OF A CERTAIN PERSON'S DEATH  mildly emotionally handle-able.  However, I do actually like S3, I think . . . because, after all, Guy and Robi...

Hello, lovelies!  I hope your Christmas was awe-filled and awesome!  (Okay, that was really weird and cheesy.) It's that time again!  Here are some more red carpet ensembles that I really like ;) THIS.  At first I was a little wary, trying to decide if the two different shades of pink, combined with her (beautiful) red hair really worked as well as all that, but now I have decided.   It's awesome.  Such a cute, clean, modest crop top, and it's elegant because it's paired with a skirt instead of pants.  And the styling, with a lighter lip than some of Emma Stone's other red carpet looks, and the hair in such a pretty, simple braid?  Love it.   I'd appreciate a higher neckline *aHERM* and a more closed side, but other than that I really like this look.  This may count as my token "starry" dress for the post ;D  But it also kind of reminds me of water…hmm.  Anyway, it's lovely.   Okay, so this might n...

First of all, MERRY CHRISTMAS, ALL!!!   I hope your holidays have been wonderful :) I didn't think I was going to post on Christmas Day, but then I finished this book called Passing by Samaria and all of a sudden I HAD TO WRITE A REVIEW.  I'm going to past here the review I just wrote for Goodreads.  Love to you all! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~  WHAT. JUST. HAPPENED. Guys, I don't even really know how to start. "In the spring in Mississippi there were perfect days. They were storybook days.  . . ." I picked up this book off my library's sale rack a while ago. I flipped through the first couple of chapters and put it on my shelf, thinking I'd get around to it eventually but not having any clear plans as to when. Well. Two nights ago (or rather, technically, it was very very early yesterday morning), I was feeling drained. There had been some really difficult situations going on the previous day that were still weighing on me, and I had had a weird sleep...

Here I shall proceed to ramble  ;)  Some serious stuff, some (cough) not so serious stuff, just the thoughts and experiences that have been floating around in my brain and/or been happening here and there. ~ Lessons learned whilst sick on 12/13-14/16 , #1:  If you start having some nausea flashes and there's the possibility that you've recently been exposed to several sicknesses due to choir events in the midst of "sick season", that's not automatically a stomach-bug sentence.  God may yet be merciful.  (Seriously, though, I'm SOOOOO grateful that I didn't get a stomach bug earlier this week -- it turned out to only be a very low fever, sore throat, and two days in bed, which wasn't bad at all.) ~ Red carpet dresses are amazing. ~ I used to be rather incensed that Redbox replaced Blockbuster in our town, but I think I'm making my peace with it now.  I mean, really, Redbox is convenient and the prices are pretty nice, so…yeah. ~ I'm hal...

I'M BACK, JACK! *scoops all of you up into a ginormous cuddle-party*  Co-op has ended, my last choir concert is tonight, my last voice lesson is Wednesday, and now I only have history, math and SAT prep left to do over the holidays [one can't have everything]. I'M SO EXCITED TO BE BACK FOR A LITTLE WHILE AT LEAST GUYYYYYYYYSS. [Of course, we must be realistic and understand that historically, I have not always been a paragon of fidelity when it comes to following through on blogging promises.  But we can still hope.] Now , now that we've gotten the reunion out of the way, the post. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I think we all have them.  Most of them were probably originally introduced to us in our childhoods.  Those stories that elicit a very distinctive emotion in us -- a tugging, a pulling, a yearning for home.  Those stories that shaped many childish ideals that are still with us through adolescence and adulthood.  Those stories that "clicked" with us, that ma...

*peeks out from behind corner* *waves sheepishly* Remember me? Yes.  Well.  This. Naomi's Pinterest  is the answer when you need pretty pictures for blog posts So, I've been incommunicado for close to two months, haven't I?  Someday, I will learn how to not make elaborate promises/commitments on here when it's not technically within my power to guarantee I'll be able to follow through thereon.  Someday that'll happen.  (It just may take a little while ;))  Anyway, I obviously haven't written that review I was asking y'all about in my last post.  And to be honest, I don't know when I'll be able to start blogging/emailing more frequently.  I have several emails from several dear friends (you know who you are) languishing in my inbox, and I am so sorry that I haven't replied to them.   Here's the thing.   Senior year kind of hit me out of nowhere.   Oh, it's not that I wasn't prepared to be a senior--that had be...

Hello again! Haha, I'm sorry for blogging again so soon.  Truly, I am, but I feel like I haven't posted regularly in a long time, and so the past few days I wanted to seize my opportunity, hehe.   Thusly I shall proceed to ask you all some questions that have been mulling around in my brain.   Item #1:   I've a hankering to write a movie review (shocking occurrence), but there are so many possibilities, dontcha know.  So, I leave it up to you:  would you rather read a review of Zootopia , Miracles from Heaven , or a different movie?  "I put it to ya, and I leave it to ya." "…You disrespect my mother, whom I buried in that skunk-butt rug, by the way." Item #2:   Will someone please, for the love of all that is holy, explain to me how it is possible for me, a typically semi-morally-perceptive individual, to mildly hate Jake yet LOVE Hank?!?!   Help me.  (For those of you who don't know, I'm talking about the tel...
