What are my plans now...?

I really don't know what's going to happen, but I will like to have a schedule full of work to do. Understand that there's going to be much more homework to do than ever before, I will work really hard to let myself out of the way until I get too stressed or I'm done with homework early enough to at least do some outside reading, in which I am most excited for this school year and hopefully it will become way better than last year because I had read 13 books and there's just no way I might be able to have at least one book per week. So far this year, I read five books total and one of them is just a second reread for First Amendment rights. The Selection by Kiera Cass is in progress, which means I just need to finish it up for making room for library materials we have to borrow from school in order to become a better citizen of the world. To become a better citizen of our nation (USA, if you're not a natural American), you have so much freedom to do; for you're on your own: freedom to read, freedom to write, freedom of expression, freedom of religion, etc. I will probably am going to be busy to do my homework, work on scholarship applications, practice songs and hopefully am going to at least push forward of the studying of World History 1 online so I can have more extra credit in two semesters or so. I wonder what to do next after The Selection...

Undercover Book Review

Warning: This is the Kephart version, not one of the popular versions you know about some runaway model from Victoria's Secret when researching on YouTube!

Elisa Cantor, a sophomore in high school meets up with Theo Moses. Lila is the popular girl in school in which anyone gets in these days. Elisa ghostwrites love letters to boys who fall for girls. She has a passion for poetry and ice skating; the conflict - her father went to San Fransisco for work with Stuart Small, her mother is emotional (remember women are emotional while men are logical) and her sister Jilly is like a fashionista. When the Cantors start to fall apart, Elisa ice skates and she can feel her bones within the music on the pond. Underneath the pond is the marble girl and fractured things that are hidden - you know fly wings, fish eyes and leaves. In the end, there's an free ice skating competition you will never miss out.

This book is better than Disney's Ice Princess, even though it's early for Christmas in July - that should be a perfect gift for Christmas. That's exactly what I got from Amazon along with Penelope, Stardust and the last two books of Dragons in Our Midst. I think the author did a good job on making the story come to life, although her mom did not live to see this book published seven school years ago. I wonder if it turns into film; although I would like to say, "Hey New Line Cinema! I would like to acquire rights of Undercover by Beth Kephart. It was a good book. You should take care of it by the way." If it does, and that the story stays true, that's fine if it's a decade too late; the sherbet girls' sunshiny song will be "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" from Frozen. If the story gets too deviated, then, what the heck is wrong with the company?! I highly recommend you guys to give it a try, even though it's in juvenile fiction format in two parts (42 chapters in all - 20 in Part One and 22 in Part Two). Elisa's letter takes place two years after the book and it's the epilogue of what should've been the afterward before the acknowledgements.

4.5/5 Stars

Read It: June 16-26, 2014

What the heck is probably am going to just let myself feel angry?!

It seems that life could become more better if there aren't any schools and only colleges and universities for extended stays for up to 16 years from age 5 to they turn 21 in order to go to work BIG time and at least no technology available worldwide. Haha, that would be perfect for the dystopian world, only to be run by communism. Although I'm so sick and tired of going back to school and be myself, I would rather dye my hair purple, force myself to learn new things, and yes try to get out of school by simply going to work part-time. I am most likely to have a bakery job at Safeway near my home. Interviews can be good from 6am to 2pm if the manager was here for daily reasons why. I'll better get a resume that has been staying with me since Senior English a few months ago when it comes to the professional world of adults. Adulthood sure is a long time away from going to heaven or hell, depending on the person's opinions and whatnot.
In the young adulthood stage (age 18-25), if your political party is liberalism, you go to college, drink alcohol, smoke, do drugs, have sex and study lightly. If your political party like mine is conservative, you're most likely to go to college, study hard, and am too smart to embrace issues of your generation. I don't have a smartphone, I'm not joking you. I am part of the millenial and could be Forrest Gump 2.0.
In the main adulthood stage (age 25-65), you simply work, all the way to settle things down: get married, have kids, and you know life does not go on as planned because of all of the problems go on in your own life.
In the late adulthood stage (age 65+), you retire (although some people work hard all of the rest of their lives) and enjoy your rest of the life looking back with acceptance.
Is that simple if you're one of my peers nationwide?

I'm So Reacted to Maximum Ride Forever

What the heck is going on?! Oh nooooooooo... I'm now a third of the way there and also there's no way I'll read this after Nevermore. Nevermore should've been the END to Maximum Ride and believe me, Maximum Ride Forever seems to take place furthermore to what should've known better after my whole entire mentally written saga is complete, perhaps somewhere between Star Wars Episode 2 and Star Wars Episode 3. I'll let Max do my job while me and my imaginary friend will be on a long, long honeymoon to get things right so we can fulfill all of the steps toward the REAL ending like leaving my imaginary friend's past behind, me becoming immortal, etc. Thanks so much for reading and I will talk to you later all in my next post. Bye everyone. :)

NaNoWriMo is Coming Soon!

Whether life can be a bit more good, then life can call myself to be amazed when it comes to taking my time writing a debut that will win for over 50,000 words in the end of November. I got recently signed up for the participation, so I'm waiting - where should I start with? Let's say action-adventure YA about a 12-year old cadet turning into a full-fledged agent. It's a girl and her name is Xena Shepherd. That'll be fun to see it transform one childhood idea into an awesome pack full of all of the events happening now, meaning I will get it done in three months so I can win BIG time!!!

Did you know what's coming?

In less than a month from now on, we will be back in September. You should be aware of this! There shall be more stuff to come and a little bit of what-not to catch up before I took a long summer break. That's okay if I left something else to catch the details quick to expand on both revision updates and first-time only publishing posts so I won't forget everything good about my life. We may ask you that The Utopia Saga blog has now changed to my short stories blog, so I publish fictional stuff excluding my appearances in imaginary essays you read on my blog including the true story of my Deaf Awareness Day at school from my own perspective. Here are some events you need to know to support my blog to get involved in sponsoring for 2014-15 (here's more to come on the way as time progresses):

September 14-20: Deaf Awareness Week
September 20-27: Banned Books Week (you should have Virtual Read-Outs and make your own Trading Cards inspired by this important week (if you are near... um... Chapel Hill Public Library in North Carolina (DEADLINE EXTENDED TO AUGUST 18! Hurry, hurry, hurry. Time's running out!) or Lawrence Public Library in Kansas (oh yeah, that's nice))

I have a makeover to come up with for my webpage, so look for more information! See you later!!! #futureevents #updatesandchanges #natisbackformore

Alice in Wonderland Review

This story is about a girl named Alice who follows the white rabbit and falls down the rabbit hole into her own fantasyland. It's about no matter how huge or how short things turn out over time as the story progresses for Alice to deal with. I knew the story in picture by heart - the last time I've read it was September 2012 when I read the Dalmatian press edition. I thought it was a bloodhound at first, but it turns out to be a puppy with brown curls like in the original text. Now I get it. The story was such a non-stop in one sitting for a few hours. But who cares about this book?

The book is not for everybody. In 1900, Woodsville High of New Hampshire suspended a book from classroom use due to explicative, references to sex, and demeaning interpretations of religion and teachers. I really don't get it because it does not refer sexual fantasies and what-not; how silly these people got referred to the love child-like interest between Lewis and Alice while they had read this book. I figured out problems like four times five is twenty, four times six is twenty-four and four times seven is twenty-eight. London is the capital of Great Britain, Paris is the capital of France and Rome is the capital of Italy. See? Is that simple. It was also banned in the province of Hunan, China in 1931 for the portraying animals acting on the same level as humans, I get it. But the 1951 Disney film: When it first came out in 1951, it 'Americanizes' the story British critics call it. Americans criticized Disney for distorting Carroll's prose. Today, it was considered one of the best-loved classics of all time. In my own words, this book contains pure imagination the entire time, minimum drug use, one mentioning to alcohol at the beginning of the Mad Tea Party scene and anthromorphism throughout the book.

It has been one of my childhood memories I've known enough to connect my life to this book as related due to my autism and great imagination from the past, present and future. There is no other than a blog can describe over a thousand words of imagination, love, friendship, true story of life in reality, dreams and future. In other words, this blog was considered to be the coming-of-age tale about me as a senior whose blog has been inspired by this book. I can never forget Alice because she was so similar to me and I will never forget this story no matter what. Graduation is right around the corner, I will be dearly missed because I was about to turn in the school netbook by tomorrow, and when it's turned in, I have no more blog posts left to describe on my own, but I can write down reviews and more on my journal to put it on my blog soon at the end of August like last summer. I know that Black Blazer and his cousins will come back here for my graduation weekend with their silver plastic badges for my senior breakfast and moving up assembly with me performing a love song. It all came to pass that technical stuff has come and gone. I survived indeed to have my freedom to search. I'm now looking for freedom and independence. I will enjoy life outside my blog to connect some details per post. I will succeed in school (that's about it) and college. Someday, I will be famous; and one day, everyone will love me as a beloved millenial in today's technological world to be placed as a classic for my blog. Thanks for joining me in 2013-14, followers. Hats off to me and go enjoy yourselves over this summer. You all survived through this blog! Congrats, you made it!!! Well done and... have a great summer. See you in the fall! Talk to you later! Bye. This has been a blog about my life. Hope you enjoyed the blog? Get your comments below and see you when I come back from summer break.

And one more thing after I walk out the door - this is going to be a long, busy summer ahead.

Chapter 11: Prom

        On June 7, 2014, we go home, I got ready for this special night with help from my mom and Simone. On our way out, I was in the royal purple dress and fancy makeup with curls ironed. We went out into a car and drove to Bellevue Club. It was the most luxurious place in any hotel, even though it was meant for my dream wedding reception. This place held exactly what the school wants and I had a blast on the dance floor. We had great food, had pictures for free... it was a night to remember by far in my life.

Penelope Book Review

There was a girl who was born with a pig snout (the curse that comes from the Wilhern household after more than 150 years in the making). Her name was Penelope and she was raised in the mansion. One day, when she was 25 years old, she had to discover what she's missing on the outside of the household in order to make a living happen in order to find a husband and live happily ever after. Can the curse be lifted when she's married?

This is the last book review of the year, even though it was the coming-of-age story. It took place in almost a year, but it may be a perfect fit for Halloween (it's my common sense). Plus, the sequence about how her great-great-great-grandfather Ralph had an affection and fell in love with the witch's daughter Clara, and unfortunately, it came to the tragic part when he purposed to Clara, who was obviously pregnant; she said no and committed suicide in the well. That started a plan for the curse: the next girl in the Wilhern household to be born will have the face of the pig. And that what how the curse was caused and has been affected over 125 years later. I think the author did a good job on how the curse began. The time setting for the book is this year, which is 2014 and it took place in the United Kingdom. What a British-American regime this has turned out to be - a movie tie-in novelization! The last media tie-in novelization I ever experienced from last year is Merlin: The Old Magic by James Mallory, which has been adapted from the 1998 TV mini-series (this is the first one). I got two so far as read by me, but I still got nine more to be read by me and remaining in the bookshelf for too long. Throughout most of the story, it was such a very good job with some detail flaws that left me feel a bit apprehended, but am content to hear about Penelope's backstory. It was somewhat okay, but it may be recommended for ages twelve and up. I classified it was a juvenile/YA movie tie-in book, so four and a half stars will do.

Top Ten Books to Be Placed in the Beach Bag

Dedicated to The Broke and the Bookish, this week's theme is Books to Be Placed in the Beach Bag or... better yet: the Reading for Knowledge colbalt blue used tote bag! The pick for the books is the academic reading that prepares me for life and in search for freedom - it's all part of growing up! Since I finished The Help by Kathryn Stockett and Life of Pi by Yann Martel over the last two summers, summer's a best time to read, but I got my picks from the list:

1. Tales of the Otori: Across the Nightningale Floor by Lian Hearn

This is the first out of the total five following the 2007 prequel and sets out the first of the three-parter in feudal Japan in the author's imagination. A lucky guess for reading by the charming start.

2. Keeping Corner by Kashmira Sheth

Huh?! That's so similar to Girl Rising but far from The Kite Runner.

3. Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer

Based on the true story about the Everest climb from the 1990s.

4. The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

I've seen two parts of the trilogy and now they're making one more before the saga's complete. Better read it now Nat (just a note to self).

5. Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer

Another novel written by the same author of Into Thin Air.

6. The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein

This is one sappy dog story I'm going to read, but the sappy romance story for once is going to be The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks.

7. A Blessing Over Ashes by Adam Fifield

This reminds me of Finding Miracles by Julia Alvarez, except it's more Perks of Being a Wallflower with the memoir type about people escaping to Cambodia and less October Baby.

8. Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien

"One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them."

This is the first parter to this trilogy.

9. Broken for You by Stephanie Kallos

This is getting familiar with Dreamland by Sarah Dessen that combines with the Seattle element. It's getting more attractive than ever!

10. The Road by Cormac McCarthy

Now a major motion picture, you could own it to see all of the epicness going on in this type of dystopia America.

11. Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Adichie

Set in the late 1960s in southeastern Nigeria, a moment in modern African history was illuminated with celebration, the promise, hope and effects going on in a war.

That's it, what's your pick for books to be placed in the beach bag with specific themes. Let me know in the comments section below! :)

Chapter 10: The Last Days of Everything (What Am I Going to Do for Next Year?)

            This weekend went pretty well, but I'm not sure what am I going to do for next year: is it looking for freedom? Yes. Is it going to college? No, I don't have a roommate, but I got tons of people to meet over the rest of my life. The Baccalaureate is good, but I remember that for the next few years, I will grow in independence by guardianship and that I'm staying home while some of my peers go across to the other side; others are staying here. It depends on whether you're going to a 4-year college, a 2-year college, tech school, military, work or apprenticeship, it's all up to you for next year. I had a nervous feeling that I'm overwriting that high school chapter which makes me feel disappointed about life. I just need a new chapter of life, but I am looking for freedom in a few days of school left. I will be gone when I come back from the all-night party at 6am, but my parents won't let me fly on summer vacation just after the senior celebration (it's similar to the just after the wedding reception for a honeymoon).
            After the service and the reception of refreshments, my family and I went to Olive Garden for the early dinner. We ate salad and I had chicken fettuccine Alfredo. It was really good, I saved it up for later use. Oh well, don't mind if I eat it after school when I come back home for something to eat. Next, we had desert: I got strawberry and white chocolate mini cake in an old-fashioned, cylinder-like transparent sundae bowl. For the rest of the weekend, I work on assignments. Everything is going to wrap-up!

My School Has a Deaf Awareness Day

Taken from my semi-last journal for the year in ASL.

            My interaction went somewhat okay, but I hear myself talk. Everyone else pretended that I was born deaf. The heredity of deaf from earlier this school year gave me an idea for future use when it comes to imaginative thought posts, but in real life, I was thinking that everyone felt sorry and that people surrounding me don’t understand the language but I was thinking about signs in my mind to be perfectly honest with what’s going on during this special day. I stayed silent for long periods of time, but I can still hear them talk, play with instruments, listen to lectures, etc. I was trying to be able to communicate without ever talking, but during 2nd period, the classmates were all silent and they sign. Sometimes I don’t know the signs and sometimes I do remember and learn the signs. I can see other sign languages around the world, but I can still see them and remember minimally. The best way to communicate was writing if people don’t know sign language.
            I was treated okay, but in good shape. I was feeling excited, but felt Deaf to my mind for crying out loud. Looking back, I remember enjoying the day in satisfaction and in satisfaction; I am quiet as described in my phenotype, genotype and one disability description about myself. People are willing to make arrangements for “existence of knowing of lalalas” and wishing me Deaf. They make me feel okay in accommodations good and bad.
            It was somewhat difficult to be 100% quiet, but I could hear myself talk if it weren’t for the orange earplugs. I slip up sometimes and I got most of the pressure to talk, mostly from raising my hands in case of something very important happening. It’s just because that’s life and I do support the feeling about the day of silence, but it keeps delaying on and on and on, over and over and over again until the later date like when I’m old or something at some point?
            One communication event from my day that affected me in some way was writing. It was before first period. I wrote down on the white board about my blog ad saying, “Subscribe me @ diaryofayoungwoman101.blogspot.com NOW!” Most people really don’t try for a blog, but I could get it from the Rebellion if I like, but my g+ account needs to get back to the former popularity like never before. I could write down some more, if I try to get TONS of pieces of paper from home. But today, I forgot to bring the construction paper to school with me to get it taken care of and the card needs me to write it all out to be adapted into one last piece of my blog before everything is complete and ready to transform into a blook. In conclusion, in case that I’m deaf, can I go try for a piece of paper to write for the first time as a substitute communication?

Love Black Blazer

        It continued from "Where He Went" left off, one month later, I went to Idaho on the bus to go to the Holiday Inn in Hayden. There as I walk down in the lobby, I can see him again and I kissed him again. Then, he, his three cousins and I went to Triple Play for pizza dinner. After that, we split up - over half of us went to the waterpark while the other two stayed in the main building for fun.
        On the way to Silverwood, I wonder what he's up to so far. It's been over a month since I missed him so much I just want to come have a touch. I heard his band perform for the audience while I go for rides. I was going to catch up on him to spend a few days off a tour, but I'm loving him to bits since I was almost ten from becoming friends to having a first kiss at sunrise. Now the bits are broken to pieces that my heart never stops pumping for love. I want to sing a love song to him even to the star-crossed time with the daughters of the air. Everything gets back together again when I go to Pavilion 5 for the awards ceremony and I will never forget another reunion for lovemaking, but it's only in my dreams written and untold for the freedom idea. In real life, I don't think that's going to change it but to get married in the future to have kids on my own when the honeymoon's end is near (like starting a family on the last full day). I take him outside Silverwood when I said goodbye to his three cousins and went on our way home on the bus. We went shopping at Spokane Valley Mall, and we went home for over 200 miles until we reach the school. I invited him to come to my house and sleep in different rooms; Emma was just sleeping in my bedroom so I told her to go to bed in her own room with one 14-year old ghost on the way.
        Early the next morning, Emma was just watching Disney Channel while he and I still sleep in different bedrooms, but he was up and ready to get going for the day. I woke up later just in time to watch Sixteen Candles (the 1983 movie that was way better than 16 Wishes the 2010 DCOM). He called us to come downstairs for breakfast. "Good morning," I said, "what did you have?"
        "Oh well, we got corn bread, eggs and ham with orange juice and milk."
        "OK, are you lactose intolerant?"
        "Yes. I had to drink some orange juice, but here's your chocolate milk. You can do it by yourself if you like."
        "Emma is lactose tolerant and so do I."
        We had breakfast together and chilled out for a bit until a bit later when he comes down from the balcony upon the stairs. I stand over him on the balcony - like Romeo and Juliet 417 years after the original publication. I said that I could give him a love song in case of any long splits that occurred to time. He said that's a good idea, so I researched for a love song and I chose My Immortal by Evanescence because this love song was 100% different than the popular, hottest and latest ones we hear in these days. This song reminds so much of him that I can think that what black and red combine with brown to make up of having dark brown, reddish-brown children on our own. It's not our time yet... it's only in my dreams that appear to have been written in my journal and needs to be read by no one as a secret. Think about the shiny stars, think love - it is worth over a million words to describe love. I describe love as star-crossed.
        I remained childless for too long and still is - some of my peers nationwide that I don't know lost their virginity at 17. I was a year too late and occurring. I'm not sexually active, but back then, Black Blazer used to be sexually active and still is since he was 15 to his girlfriend Lola in 2006. He was two years early than an average person, but Lola mentioned to have miscarried a child on New Year's Eve of 2008. That is the last time I heard of the news while we had a meeting earlier this year with Steph. He was instructed by medic people to abstain it a week after New Year's Day 2009 and he broke up with his girlfriend a month later and remained abstained for a while until 2014 when he lost abstinence once again to Bianca Ride. That's very sad of him that he doesn't need to get married. Who cares?! Nobody... THAT'S MESSED UP!!! It ruined his dreams for himself and it ruined my relationship so much no matter how deep things suffer.
        One week later, I thought that everybody is all gone somewhere and there's no one to see me around. I'm on my own for now, I broke up... it looks like I already read Romeo and Juliet, that made everybody else to leave behind and never come back. How sad is it for me to go on my own without assistance. It's time for me to go to the real world and go crazy. Ultimately, I know I lost everything and I know that I'm on my own. I'm not done yet, for I carried the song with me whether I go; knowing I was affected by my feelings. I want to sing to him a love song, but he's gone already to the real world. I didn't know everybody in my world went to the real world to collect as many controversial ideas and controversial topics as they can in order to feel themselves free. What can I do to walk upon the real literary path for the first time since? Did I do something right? Or is it just me, being the first one to enter the real world and collect as many controversial ideas as I can? We'll never know... it's just a dream when I wake up the next morning.
        Upon his departure to go back on the World Tour with his cousins, I offered him a wildfire orange rose. He knows that he will not be there for a Baccalaureate, but eventually will be back on Wednesday June 11 at 11:30pm for senior breakfast, my last performance of school and graduation. He has got the rest of the world tour to do over most of the remaining spring. I'm going to miss him so much.

Top Ten Tuesday Freebie #1: Top Ten Banned Books On My TBR List

This is a freebie about something to be read over the next four months ahead, you know what's coming... or not. It's Banned Books Week - a week to celebrate First Amendment rights on the last full week of September every year, it was founded by the American Library Association in 1982. Here are some books to be read over this period of practice besides the Sparknotes edition of Romeo and Juliet from yesterday's review:

1. Alice in Wonderland - WARNING: You're about to enter the no-spin zone for imagination! (It's a rabbit hole to the real world.)
2. A Wrinkle in Time - it's a second reread, but this time to promote freedom
3. Bridge to Terabithia - the first reread ever, the last time is in seventh grade - I'm not sure about knowing that the details go on, but I got a few major events though. Time for a pick up again to discover what I'm missing.
4. Forrest Gump - It appeared once in the 1999-2000 edition of the Resource Guide, it was made into a 1994 Academy Award-winning film and it's going to take place back in my parent's day (three decades) before the bad 80s aka the MTV decade.
5. The Kite Runner - Caution: lots of swearing and killing going on in the book!
6. Prep - Perfect for the high school class of 2014 to get into a 4-year college.
7. The Hunger Games - I know in most of 2012, people are obsessed with this book series - but in the end of 2013 and most of the first third of 2014, they were obsessed with Frozen and now what next? If I Stay? Maze Runner? Maximum Ride? Uglies? We'll never know.
8. Catching Fire - Simone keeps pushing me into this, but why can't I. Because of cheating? But not anymore, thanks to Banned Books walkthrough arrangements.
9. Mockingjay - Oh... I know some people hated it while others liked it. It's really mixed-up.

And now, for the grande pick...

10. Eleanor and Park - I'm not suprised, but in shock to see it banned in the largest public school district in Minnesota at the end of my junior year in high school. Did you know this book is going to be made into film by Dreamworks?

And that's the Top Ten freebie to Banned Books.

Romeo and Juliet Sparknotes Edition

This is the play about the star-crossed lovers that this tragedy, set in Verona, Italy, can be no other than this with love and death. First published in 1597, Shakespeare wrote this as original text from 1591 to 1595. Over four hundred years later, the Sparknotes team came and study the play to write down the notes so it's easy-to-understand as modern text. I didn't know what to expect from Shakespeare when I was fifteen. One year later, when I was sixteen, I joined Drama and I became a Thespian by the end of junior year. When I started blogging by the time senior year rolls around, I need to know what to expect as a Thespian - "Act well your part, and there all the honor lies." That's a catchphrase to support Drama and the International Thespian Society. I've seen four plays in high school - The Mouse that Roared (The Tale of Despereaux meets Red October), Anything Goes (Disney version of Titanic), 4AM - Is anybody out there? (Millenials at Night), and Arsenic and Old Laces (the old-timely 1940s Clue short story in 2 hours and 30 minutes), The Nutcracker (the popular late Victorian ballet is loosely based on the book, but indeed, a good adaptation for every Christmas season). Soon, comes down to the play to be performed again on a Thursday afternoon - Romeo and Juliet. The last time it played was last Monday morning - the few hours before the Induction ceremony.

According to the Banned Books Guide by Robert P. Doyle, it appeared two times - the 2011-12 edition and the 2012-13 edition. It says, in May of 2012, "some parents in Liberty, South Carolina are furious about the book their kids are reading in middle school. They say it's too mature for their kids because of the sex. The book in question is an easy-to-read version of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet." In my own words, let's say it contains sexual references, mild language, some mild kissing content, brief dual violence and little intensity.

This challenged book is said to be part of No Fear Shakespeare, as I can tell it takes 146 online pages for you to read the whole entire thing from beginning to end. Five acts in one play - a great study for the play to analyze it. It's really free for you to do the new perspective if you studied it in your academic education like once, twice or several times since high school. I studied it once. It's very good that I was feeling a bit pressured to get it on with "this format of studying" in order to watch the play. I know I got more Shakespeare to do from Sparknotes - if any of his plays don't appear on Sparknotes, then I guess we'll have to study the old-fashioned way: notebook and pencil. My sister Lauren read the Folger Shakespearean Library edition of this play last year - she was impressed by the playwright Shakespeare. My mom and dad read Shakespeare literature before and I had never read anything Shakespearean before except maybe a few lines - but as Regionals came, I played Helena from A Midsummer Night's Dream after Antigone from Antigone as a single Monologue audition. Did you know that the 2013 film version of Romeo and Juliet was the worst film adaptation? It lacked the impressiveness of an historical touch for boring, cheesy things; so that's why it's awfully fun to be placed in the Bad Movie Night theme: Worst Adaptation from Books and Plays. It needs to be dragged on forever once when I got the DVD (it's already released).

This has been the Banned Books review. Remember no banned book is without sin except for the right religious text for the right religious people. Next time: we're talking about Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. WARNING: A rabbit hole leads to the real-world ahead of you!

Rewatches After Sonic Underground

Finally, after forty episodes, a few jingles and one commercial (13 hours 27 minutes and 25 seconds) of F (friends are together for) U (you and me) N (anywhere, anytime at all), this is the moment I've all have been waiting for: Maximum Ride Protectors Pentalogy. But first, let's take a look at all of the rewatches in between beside the Sonic Underground in between the Fugitives and Protectors.

Shows I've Never Seen in Such a Long Time Since I Was a Kid:

1. Rugrats
One of my favorite TV Shows of all time as a kid. But the movies need to be rewatched over this summer.
2. Powerpuff Girls
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm Blossom. I already saw the movie last summer and hopefully again this summer (this could lead up to the show this time).
3. Kim Possible
I never got to see the finale in 2007 due to the fact that my family and I move out to Salem, Oregon.
4. Danny Phantom
I barely saw it sometimes as a kid.
5. Proud Family
I already have seen it as a kid, but never have it seen in a long time around.
6. My Life as a Teenage Robot
This takes place in the future, but in my old green bank journal with over 100 pages, I was all 100% wrong about the future Super Bowl C - it was supposed to take place in 2066, not early in the 2070s.

Shows I've Already Seen and Am Good to Go:

1. SpongeBob SquarePants
This is the show I never stop watching as a kid.
2. Fairly Odd Parents
Second in ranking for never stop watching as a kid.
3. American Idol
Seen it in 2004, but never seen it around until 2008 and beyond.
4. X Factor
I already saw three seasons, but the previous two: I never got to see the end of Season 1 and the rest of Season 2. It's alright.
5. America's Got Talent
This is one show I am all good to go.
6. Extreme Makeover Home Edition
I've seen it in the mid to late 2000s.

Honorable Mention to Be Seen as Recommendation from a Friend:

1. Full House (I had seen a few episodes of it before and am likely to do so)

The first list from the above can be in no particular order in betweenage of literary stuff like When the Wind Blows and The Lake House for A Sitch in Time.

We did it, we made it through 2,267.41333334 miles since the beginning of the year. So far, so good but we're almost to the end of this academic year (Senior Year Part 1) with two more acts of Romeo and Juliet via Sparknotes.com! I know I missed the trio so much that I can bring them back to life on my own fanfic series called "Council of the Flock" - a crossover between the show I made it through and the book series I'm 3/8 of the way there with the returning main cast of three, Black Blazer, Max, the Flock, the Erasers, Ari, Total, me (in my pen name to be known as Victoria), Emma and Sparkle to be starred on this epic journey to save the world, not running around to beat the SWATbots like last time I've seen it all in 40 episodes of "a children's picture book". I know I got an extreme makeover to do, but I'm 27 pages ahead of the beginning in which I'm not spoiling it until I got it 100% published with the acknowledgements of how it's made.

        But here's the sneak peek of the fanfic: Like Elsa and Anna from Frozen, Aleena and Elissa were sisters. On January 10, 2014, I went in the theater with my family and youth group to watch "Frozen". It was really good, but I like it - even though it's loosely based on the fairytale; I got the idea about Aleena's family - in the show she had no family other than her three children. That's the problem, but I know and developed the kind of a nice idea. I made Elissa to be the sister to Aleena and I had an idea about their parents - the father was named after the main character Tristan Thorn from Stardust by Neil Gaiman and the mother was named after Gloriana the Twelfth from The Mouse that Roared. Earlier, when I was fifteen, I came up with Black Blazer's own mother. Her name was Elissa - she was called after the mother of Merlin and novice princess of Avalon from the Merlin trilogy by James Mallory. That was a big thanks to the media and pop culture for naming Aleena's family - I know she and her sister were part of Generation X, but their children were part of the millenial generation with me. But what about their parents - Tristan lived to be 56 years old (he's from the Beat generation) and Gloriana lived to be 38 years old (she's from the boomer people including my parents). They were 18 years apart from each other and they were married on Christmas Day of 1965. Four years later, let's say here's how the prologue works: you can see that the fanfic is just the beginning when Aleena narrates her backstory prior to the start of the show as it gets familiar of how Robotnik took over Mobius, how she had to give up her three children to fulfill a prophecy that one day the siblings will be able to rise against Robotnik's rule and restore peace to the planet along with their mother, aunt, cousin and his girlfriend, Emma, Penelope, Sparkle, Ari and the entire Flock. Chapter One describes how Aleena and Elissa meet together again but for the first time with their firstborn children which came into rivalry. Chapter Two deals with all of the king and queen's grandchildren's childhood, and Chapter Three and beyond deals with the adventure ahead after they all come of age on their last day of school to have fun. The whole entire series is about the Flock and the extended Sonic Underground band (with Black Blazer on bass guitar and Victoria on the vocal) who have to save the world from the forces of evil. Fans of Sonic Underground and Maximum Ride, watch out for more information coming soon.

If you've been waiting for too long for this to come out, you can see my long-forgotten Utopia blogspot for reservance.

I'm Stil 3/4 of the Show of Leading Up to Protectors!

Hey! Guess what everybody, I got great news and some terrible news after The Blind Side. The good news is that I'm saving the last ten episodes of Sonic Underground for future use, but lucky me. I love Maximum Ride so much that I can't wait for the Protectors pentalogy. The other half of her series needs to be unlocked after Narnia which is going to be unlocked after the fairy tale page measurement mark of eighths. The bad news is I am going to be completely busy with my homework that is supposed to be due within the last days of school (usually the last weeks as in the last eighth of the school year). I'm going to turn in every last bit of missing assignments in so that way I will be able to graduate on time and get it over with in at least one more year of schooling according to the IEP. The summer required reading lists ticks and wastes my time, thus missing out on all the fun I support on Banned Books Week and wait for next year to just show up. On the other hand, my parents told me it was recommended for the COMPASS retake to go to Bellevue college. I hopefully go for the Autism Spectrum Navigators Programming in finding of getting a transfer to UW for a BA in English so I can teach IEP kids how to read, write, study and socialize. Ha! I can't wait for the last week of September of 2014. Reading a banned book from the ALA is you get subtracted from the days of school as a super senior, so that counts as US governmental law. Before you know it, I'm still on full schedule! I'll be right back.

Evolution: Described and Captioned

Have you seen this from earlier when you first come into the blog for reading up-to-date at the beginning of this school year (2013-14)?
Have you played Duck Life 3 before and you ended up like this?


Well then... if you answered yes to any of these questions, I guess let's get things going around. How about that?

        Today, we are learning about evolution in biology class. What does evolution mean? Evolution is the change that occurs very slowly, even from today. The point is that it comes from science and yes that's atheist for all reasons. It's because of the theory we're discussing - we as humans come from the planet of the apes. Notice how dogs and cats came from wolves and lions? It's much changing a lot from plenty of eras ago. Have I imagined that werehogs evolved into hedgehogs? Seems strange but it's exclusively from Sonic Unleashed the video game.
        Have you read Twilight before? You might have heard about the stormy pair of star-crossed lovers: Bella Swan - an ordinary human girl and Edward Cullen - the sparkling vampire. We get the love triangle between Bella and Edward Cullen or Jacob Black - the werewolf (who doesn't own a shirt, but actually gets a shirt). In the end, Bella turned into a vampire in the final book. Result: The author strayed some perspective from what's true to the story to the anti-climax being of what's pleasing to fans. That's according to Broke and Bookish people. It's a lackluster series ender!
        For my opinion: hmmm, it's not accurate. The universe is not that old as it seems from 15 billion years ago. It looks as much young as over 6,000 years that it's been made from nothing by God. We're actually made from dust and out of dust came mankind. At the same day, God made land animals. Earlier, God made the world, sun, moon, birds and fish. About marraige, last year, some of my state's people approved R-74 and yes marraige is evolving from straight to just gay-marraige. Families are going from married couple with children to just single-parent families. One couple gets divorced every 30 seconds in America, one kid dies every few seconds from hunger in the world, 12-13 girls get married every 30 seconds. Yes, Christian is getting dumber overtime from now - it's changing, people. You know what's coming? END OF THE WORLD! I heard that already.
        A naturalist is a biologist. A biologist is a person that studies biology. In England, biologists were called naturalists. We learned about Darwin, how he traveled around the world on the Beagle ship, and how he wrote a book called "On the Origin of Species". The book explains scientifically about coadaptation of species. The point: it's like doing scientific models to make it accurate like over and over again. That's not the case scenario - let's face it! It's a good thing to know about the domain of species, but it may be interesting.
