Top Five Friday: Time Periods

Happy Friday!! Today I'm doing my top five favorite time periods. I'm going favorite to least favorite today.

1. The Twenties

Who doesn't like the twenties? I mean really. I love the music from the era, and the clothes and dancing! The Great Gatsby is my favorite book. So all in all, it's awesome.

2. The Pioneer Days

This looks like so much fun, travelling from your home and going to build a new home somewhere else! I know it was hard, but it looked like such a great time to bond with your family, and learn new ways to live. I love the Little House books!

3. Medieval Times

Yeah, I know. Times of torture and disease. But let's just think about the awesome sword play, the dresses and the castles! I read a really good Christian books series called: River of Time, and it's time travel back to this era! It was awesome.

4. THE FUTURE

I probably won't live to see anything so awesome as this, but I love all the future istic books out there, and I think the future is going to be flipping awesome.

5. Last...but not least...

THE PRESENT

I love the present I lot, don't get me wrong. And if I ever had a chance to stay in another timeline, I wouldn't do it. I'd stay here with all my family and friends. Sure, the past and future look awesome, but the present is even more awesome.



What's your Top Five Friday?

The Voice Tweeted Me!!!!

GUYS. THIS IS AWESOME. AND I COULDN'T FANGIRL HERE AT MY HOUSE BECAUSE MY FAMILY WOULD BE LIKE WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU. SO I AM WRITING IN ALL CAPS TO TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I AM.

SO FIRST, I HAD BEEN IGNORING MY PHONE BECAUSE IT WAS ON THE FLOOR AND I WAS WRITING, SO WHEN I FINALLY LEANED DOWN TO GET IT I STARED AT IT, AND THEN I DROPPED IT BACK DOWN ON THE FLOOR AND MY FACE WAS LIKE:

AND THEN I WAS LIKE TO MY SISTER: "OH MY GOSH THE VOICE TWEETED ME" AND SHE WAS LIKE:

BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT IT WAS CRAZY. AND IT'S OK BECAUSE I KIND OF AM AT TIMES, OR ALL THE TIME. WHATEVER.

AND THEN I WENT AND I LOOKED AT THE TWEET, AND LIKE...WELL, I'LL JUST SHOW YOU HOW MANY PEOPLE RT'D AND FAVORITED IT:

SEE THAT!!! 66 FAVORITES AND 15 RT'S. PEOPLE ALL AROUND THE WORLD SAW THAT, OH MY GOSH.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE? I AM THE WORST FAN RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I HAVE NO TV AND I CAN'T WATCH IT, SO I'M PITIFULLY WATCHING THE AUDITIONS ON YOUTUBE.

I KNOW CHRISTINA I KNOW.

I WAITED THREE SEASONS FOR THEM TO FINALLY NOTICE MY TWEETING. I HAVE BEEN A VERY DEDICATED FAN. AND AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

OK, I AM GONE. GOODBYE.

Book Review: Cinder by Marissa Meyer

Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl. 

Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai’s, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world’s future.







Genre: YA, dystopian

Cover Love: so neat! I love the red shoe and the metal pieces inside the leg.

Overview:

This book was amazing. I recommend it to everyone who likes to read. It's a retelling of Cinderella, but a future, Star Wars, twist on it. Cinder was a great character, brave, scared at times. But she was never scared to stand up for herself. There were many villains in this story, including the step mother, and the Lunars. Prince Kai was awesome, and the android Iko was adorable. I loved the concept of it in the future, with all the tech, and the hovers. It was interesting how even though with all their tech, they can't seem the cure the plague, so it's very interesting as well. I loved this book, and I'm reading the sequel now!

Romance:

Cinder falls for the Prince, even though she's convinced that's not the case. A sub plot in the story is about her falling for the prince, and the only romance is at the end, just one kiss. The romance kept you in suspense, we need more books like this!

Language:

*cue awesome music* NO BAD WORDS. YAY. Cinder says 'stars'. But that's as bad wordy you're going to get.

Violence:

There's a plague, and a lot of sick people around. There are scenes with the sick people, but it's not very stomach turning, but I'm sure if I was really there, it would be. There's a lot of taking blood samples, and the cutting out of ID chips. But that's it.

Religion:

None at all.



Again, this book was fantastic, and I everyone should read it! It's a fun, suspenseful read, with a twinge of romance!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars!

Top Five Friday: Female Kpop Groups!

Happy Friday! I for one am very happy that it is Friday, I gotta tell you. This week was really good though, but I'm ready for watching TV all day and eating all day tomorrow. XD

Going from 5 to 1 today!

5. 2NE1

2NE1 is my friend's favorite kpop group, and I enjoy them too! I like their songs: "I Am the Best", "Fire" and "Don't Stop the Music". They're style is very funky for a kpop group, and sets them apart from the other groups.

4. F(X)

I recently discovered them, and I like their song "Electric Shock" along with "Hot Summer". I also love their name, very mathy.

3. T-ARA

I only really like their one song, but it's a song that I realllly like, and I like it so much, my friend and I are learning the dance together! The song is "Roly Poly", and they're just so adorable!

2. KARA

The first song I heard of KARA's was "Step" and it just makes me so happy! I enjoy another two songs of their's: "Jump" and "Lupin". I'm hoping to learn this dance at some point, too.

1. Girls Generation (SNSD)

And last, but not least! GIRLS GENERATION! They were my first kpop group, and they will always be my favorite! I love all of their songs. There are a lot of them, I know, the only one I can really point out is Tiffany and Sunny, but I just love them, and I hope they come to tour the US again some time soon!

What is your Top Five Friday?

PS: Check out the first RP I did, you can find the link in the side car above the RP picture. ----> (I'm Robin, the other person is Nightwing)

Thunder storms with snow on the ground?!

Happy Thursday! How is everyone? :)

I wanted to share with you my growing LEGO figure collection:

I still don't have any actual LEGO's, but I'm hoping to get some soon! Do you like LEGOs? What are some LEGO stuff you have?


Ok, so thunder storms in February...weird, right? Especially with the snow still on the ground! It's a little strange. It was raining here, but it stopped, the sky is still cloudy. To be honest, I like it better than snow, LET IT RAIN. *does rain dance*

What do you like to do when it's yucky outside? I like to write and play with my many LEGO people. XD Speaking of LEGOs, I cut myself putting together my Batman figure yesterday, my hand slipped and I cut my pointer finger. It still hurts today, and it won't stop bleeding. :P I think that's a cue to cut my nails, don't you think?

I also just finished my first RP with the Nightwing in my RP group! It'll be posted on my RP blog later today, so make sure to go check it out! :D I had so much writing it!

And I printed out this Batman mask from the DC website yesterday, cut it out and I colored it while making dinner. I'm pretty savvy with multitasking.

And I'm wearing glasses because Batman can't be blind when fighting crime.

This post turned out to be more just a random update post, hope you all don't mind!
