Hopefully...

Don't you just hate it when you want to write and you can't figure out the ideas? It's so annoying!
Not to mention the fact that I have Road in a week and I'm really nervous.
I auctioned for the play, Rapunzel and I don't find out if I have the part I want -Mother Gothel- until Thursday.
I shouldn't worry, my little sister says I nailed it but I'm also worried because i think the teacher plays favorites and she might pick one of the girls who is she's known for awhile.
I have to ambit the girls auctioning for Gothel forgot the words and just stood there. I'm not trying to be snotty or anything, I just hope I get it and I don't have to be chosen over another girl. Sigh...even before I did this Rapunzel auction I have been singing Mother Knows Best over and over, pretending to be Gothel.
Heck, I was her for Halloween!
So I am begging to find out!
Sorry that's what on my mind lately and this stress is getting to me! Why am I such a drama geek?

New addition to story? Mission Possible!

Hey,

Had to do a paper on survival for English and I decided to do part of my story because there is a lot of survival in it, and I haven't sent off anything in a LONG  time so I think you all should get something at least. I began to type up my first completed novel recently! The last book in my Silver Storm series, Keeper of Fates (with Dean, Sophie, Rob, Nikita etc.), I will send it off soon as I can (if I don't forget.)

Just a little bit of the story from book one with Tyler Youngblood.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I have changed a little bit, instead of Tyler being the only one who narrates it, it will have three narraters, Tyler Youngblood, demigod son of Zeus, Danny Ellis, Dean Ellis's son who is part fire demon (it's like Zuko in Avatar, he can control fire. It's power he got from his grandpa Apollo, god of the sun.) and Faith Ellis, Danny's twin sister who is a witch (based off friend Sonora). Also Katana is now a minor character, (bad breakup with a friend and she was based off her, so I decided instead of just getting rid of her competely, I just made her a minor character in memory of my friend and I's broken friendship, and Tyler doesn't like Katana anymore too. Just didn't work out. He likes someone else now. Heehee *looks at Sonora*) I have also included new characters. (well, actually, Danny and Faith are new to some of you.) but his name is Aiden Shaw, he is half human, half ghost (based off Danny Phantom, old cartoon from Nick that love, thats where my Danny got his name too.) and Aayla Jade, wood elf of the forest, can't wait to tell you more about her!

So Happy New Year and my thoughts and love go to my aunt Kellie and her family.

p.s. Saw Mission Impossible 4. Amazing! :)

Survival? I know one or two things about it; I've been taught to survive all my life by my parents. My twin sister and I both have unique abilities or powers that if something happens we could survive on our own.

            I never thought that we would have to use our survival skills so soon when I was thirteen and we (my sister, my best friend, a half human half ghost kid and I) were sent on a quest to find a kidnapped demigod in Artics, the magic world.

            Everything started going wrong when we had a nasty run-in with an ogre.

            "Aren't ogres misunderstood creatures?" My best friend Tyler asked as we spotted the ogre stomping around the forest holding a club.

            "This isn't Shrek, ogres are mean and love having humans for snacks." I answered.

            "Ewww!" my sister, Faith plugged her nose, "and doesn't know what a shower is."

            "We need to avoid this guy. Aiden." I turned to Aiden, he was small and the youngest of our group, but he had what we needed.

            "I need you to turn ghost and distract the ogre while we make a run for it."

            "But Danny…I can barley control my powers…" Aiden said, quietly.

            "I know, but when we give the signal, turn invisible and fly away." I explained.

            "But…"

            "Please Aiden?" Faith asked.

            Aiden finally nodded, "alright."

            He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, "ghost form."

            Suddenly, Aiden's blue jeans and green shirt changed into a black bodysuit, his hazy blue eyes went to a neon green. The only thing that didn't changed was his dark brown hair.

            What did dad tell me about ogres? I thought. He must have faced a few when he was a teenager.

            My dad, Dean Ells is a demigod son of Apollo; before I was born he was a great hero for the Greek gods and Artics, along with Tyler's stepfather, Rob Youngblood and my mom, Sophie who is a witch.

            "Survival tip #1: Ogres are very slow, Danny. You have to get them to charge than suddenly run to another spot; they'll wear themselves out. When they are out of breath, that's when you attack." My dad's voice said in my head.

            "My dad said that ogres are very slow, you gotta get him wear out and that's when you can defeat him."

            "Defeat him? I thought I just had to distract him." Aiden questioned.

            "You still have to, but it's likely the ogre might try to kill you." I answered.

            Aiden gulped, "oh great."

            "Just remember what Danny said," Faith said, turning Aiden around and started pushing him.

            "Wait," Aiden stopped Faith and turned around,  "before I go out there and do pretty much a suicide attempt, what is the signal?"

            "Tyler will make a thunder and lightning storm and destroy the ogre if you don't." I said, "You think Zeus will let you do that?"

            Tyler shrugged, "yeah, hopefully my dad's feeling up to it."

            "Lightning, got it." Aiden muttered and flew into the sky.

            We couched in position, watching Aiden.

            "Hey ugly!" Aiden insulted the ogre.

            The ogre turned around, he was about 7'2 with pasty yellow skin that reminded me of the Rocky Mountains, he had an ugly under bite and two blood shot red eyes. He had long black greasy hair pulled in a ponytail and the club in his left hand.

            "Hey, it looks like Faith in the morning." I teased.

            Faith rolled her eyes and punched me in the shoulder, "Shut up."

            "Yeah…I'm talking to you, fathead…" Aiden's voice suddenly became shaky.

            "GHOST!! I HURT YOU!!" The ogre shouted, running over to Aiden.

            Aiden stood up his ground until the ogre's club was a foot again from him, he leap into the sky and flew into a tree.

            "NO FAIR!!" The ogre bellowed, shaking the tree.

            "Now, guys, now." Faith said, getting up and running across the field, avoiding the chopped tree stumps.

            "Go Tyler," I whispered.

            Tyler ran as fast as he could, he's pretty fast for thirteen.

            I got up and ran towards Faith and Tyler, watching Aiden from the corner of my eye.

            He was clutching the pine tree tightly as the ogre shook the tree, but I could clearly see he was slipping.

            "Survival tip #2: Never leave a man behind." My dad's voice said in my mind, he told me that right before I left on the quest.

            I had to help Aiden.

            "Hey, leave him alone!"  I exclaimed, taking out my sword, Wizard.

            The ogre turned around slowly and sniffed the air, "Danny Ellis, fire demon." He said.

            "Yeah, come fight me you big limp noodle."  I answered.

            The ogre growled, running towards me, swinging his club, "I WILL KILL YOU AND YOUR FATHER!"

            Dad battled this ogre, I thought, waiting for the ogre.

            Aiden looked at me with a look of concern and I mouthed the words, Go.

            I suddenly did a flip like a Jedi over the ogre and landed on a tree stump.

            The ogre looked around, confused.

            "Hey Shrek." I said.

            The ogre turned around, "I EAT YOU!!"

            "What about you just let me go?" I asked.

            "COME HERE, FIRE DEMON DESCENTDANT OF APOLLO!" He screamed, twirling around.

            I sighed, "Fine, we'll have to do this the hard way…"

            Before I could react the ogre grabbed wizard out of my hand and threw it. "NOW I WILL DINE!"

            "Not quite!" someone's voice called from a distant.

            WHIST!

            An arrow stuck the ogre and he fell over onto the ground, than vanished.

            I ran and grabbed Wizard quickly. "Are you friend or foe?"

            A hooded figure came out of the forest, holding a bow and arrow, "depends, are you friend or foe to the forest?"

            "Survival tip #3: I'm a hippie, Danny. You better be nice to the forest or I'll kick your butt. That wasn't my dad this time, it was my mom; she loves the forest.

            "Friend…" I said.

            The figure removed the hood; it was a girl about thirteen with orange hair, green eyes and elf ears. "I'm Aayla Jade Hinton, welcome to my father's forest."

Fwd: Happy New Year!

Memories, good and bad.

'Twas two weeks before Christmas, and all through the house not a cat was stirring but the humans were sure as heck!
Haha, sorry lame poem, but I couldn't resist.
Yes, two weeks before Christmas! ^_^ I seem like the only one in my house who seems excited!
I have looked past this year, moments, mistakes, despair, laughter, friendship, memories...
My most memorable moments were Disneyland, youth conference, junior year and weddings. I loved going to Disneyland in April for Spring Break and it was SOOO much fun! :D I wanna go back!
Youth Conference was extremely fun, though we had to sleep in tents; we went river rafting and I didn't get sick! (I usually get sick at camp).
Junior year started and so far, it's been great! I enjoy all my classes (English could be better if the kids who you have to pull by the hair kicking and screaming to class would stop fighting and talking crap about people.)
I went to two weddings this year, my neighbor Kestri was married to Doug, (hi, I'm Doug }:D) and my old neighbor Mackenzie was also married to Daniel. I wish them happiest and love for years to come.
The tragic memories that I never want to relive was the passing of Beck, the greatest and most amazing dog ever. He was a beautiful soul and had a loving heart, not a day goes by that I don't think of him. I love you, Beck. I know you are having a good time over the rainbow.
The second was the lost of a friend, I know one of my closest friend knows all about this and I am grateful for her ears.
I was friend's with a girl and we were close but than she did something that shocked me. Suddenly, I saw the girl that she really was. Her values were different and hung with some bad people, she would brag and always had to be right, she constantly made me feel stupid and got angry easily. I also started having nightmares of the girl and decided that I would stop being friends with her. I now have enjoyed junior year more without her bad influence. But the only problem now is, the girl is telling all of the people who we are both friend's with that I hate her. Truth is, I don't hate her. I just don't like having her influence around me. Sorry for the sob story, trying not to whine or anything.

Though it's not New Year's yet, I have made my new year resolution.

I will not find fault with others because I'm not perfect.

I have noticed that I judge too quickly, and it is wrong to blame their faults on them even though I have too many faults.
When I walk into a room with new people, I instantly think they hate me. I should give them a chance.

-Britt

Funny

I'm a total geek these days, was looking up star wars and found my way to these on deviart (however you spell
It.) :D love that site! Personal favorite is the last one. If you have seen the originals countless times like I have (Star Wars was my childhood in a nutshell) than you'll probably get a kick out of these.
Sincerely the Star Wars geek named Britt. >.<

Blue Rose

This really touching. I know a bunch of blue roses and they help me through life by servicing them.

A Blue Rose Having four visiting family members, my wife was very busy, so I offered to go to the store for her to get some needed items, which included light bulbs paper towels, trash bags, detergent and Clorox. So off I went. I scurried around the store, gathered up my goodies and headed for the checkout counter, only to be blocked in the narrow aisle by a young man who appeared to be about sixteen-years-old. I wasn't in a hurry, so I patiently waited for the boy to realize that I was there. This was when he waved his hands excitedly in the air and declared in a loud voice, "Mommy, I'm over here." It was obvious now, he was mentally challenged and also startled as he turned and saw me standing so close to him, waiting to squeeze by. His eyes widened and surprise exploded on his face as I said, "Hey Buddy, what's your name?" "My name is Denny and I'm shopping with my mother," he responded proudly. "Wow," I said, "that's a cool name; I wish my name was Denny, but my name is Steve." "Steve, like Stevarino?" he asked.  "Yes," I answered. "How old are you Denny?" "How old am I now, Mommy?" he asked his mother as she slowly came over from the next aisle. "You're fifteen-years-old Denny; now be a good boy and let the man pass by." I acknowledged her and continued to talk to Denny for several more minutes about summer, bicycles and school. I watched his brown eyes dance with excitement, because he was the center of someone's attention. He then abruptly turned and headed toward the toy section. Denny's mom had a puzzled look on her face and thanked me for taking the time to talk with her son. She told me that most people wouldn't even look at him, much less talk to him. I told her that it was my pleasure and then I said something I have no idea where it came from, other than by the prompting of the Holy Spirit. I told her that there are plenty of red, yellow, and pink roses in God's Garden; however, "Blue Roses" are very rare and should be appreciated for their beauty and distinctiveness. You see, Denny is a Blue Rose and if someone doesn't stop and smell that rose with their heart and touch that rose with their kindness, then they've missed a blessing from God. She was silent for a second, then with a tear in her eye she asked, "Who are you?" Without thinking I said, "Oh, I'm probably just a dandelion, but I sure love living in God's garden." She reached out, squeezed my hand and said, "God bless you!" and then I had tears in my eyes.. May I suggest, the next time you see a BLUE ROSE, don't turn your head and walk off. Take the time to smile and say Hello. Why? Because, by the grace of GOD, this mother or father could be you. This could be your child, grandchild, niece or nephew. What a difference a moment can mean to that person or their family. From an old dandelion!  Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God. "People will forget what you said, People will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel!"        ANON

We all need to laugh

You ought laugh everyday of your life, I find it a common law in life, if you laugh a lot, you're a happier person. Try to laugh everyday, I do and enjoy life to the fullest.
I know it can be hard for some people and I understand, life is full of stress and hardship. Sometimes we throw the towel in and yell, "I quit!" I know how that feels. With the term ending this Friday, I was very tempted to not do my book report. But I got it done.
One of the things I use to make me laugh is the guy in the picture, Emilio Estevez playing William H. Bonny aka Billy the Kid in the movie, Young Guns. He is the silliest guy and his hyena laugh is so easy to catch!
I did base some things of Emilio Hazel off of Emilio Estevez (like the name). I really enjoy his work and his comedy. Thanks to my character, Emilio Hazel, I have been able to break my writers block easier or get a laugh. And he's just so sweet to Nikita and Ariel. Speaking of which...Emilio told me to say that he's naming his first daughter, Melissa. After Nikita's mom, Awwww:)

So don't forget to laugh and enjoy life, I know its hard but you'll make it if you keep your head high and your dreams in your heart.
