This is the Real V-Day Card on dA for 2015!

Here's the revision of the digital card because I don't mean to due to the rules of Valentine's Day Digital Card Exchange. I can't use my deviantART name, but with little change, I just simply placed "the creator" so you vaguely know who I am.

A Valentine's Gift to You for 2015!

Happy Valentine's Day! Here is something that came with the digital card exchange for deviantART. I made it all be myself on the computer. Enjoy this pic, it'll go on display by today or tomorrow.

Midwinter Break is Coming!!!

Just three more days left and I am totally free to get the deadline taken care of. But if you follow my blog, you are lucky, but I got some bad news: that was a close shot... the Pats had won 28-24.

If you follow me on deviantART, the story continues on and on as I wait for the requests to show up. I found the requests to random artists to be amazing and so interesting!

Let's try for a picture one more time before it hits:



How adorable is the kitty!

Prepare for What You've Been Waiting For!

Yes... I know. I am so going to be super busy with reading, writing, doing homework and more. First, I'll finish Ordinary People by Judith Guest. Second, I'll finish Swamplandia! by Karen Russell. Third, I have to do the Love Songs article for the school newspaper. Fourth, I will be able to write down the topics from the list I am forcing myself to write from the board to save it for future times to write down in my journal. And last but not least, I have to finish another chapter for deviantART (I'll add 73 or more words to reach my minimal limit of 1,000 words for submission). The timing will be different than what I expected it to be, because I am not going to cancel my legacy challenge in fanfiction form. I'm just letting you know that I will prerecord and write the extensions in order to have a submission before February 11th (that's right: the deadline of doom!). Don't worry! I'll be back on a Saturday! Have the rest of Super Bowl week if you live in the United States. If you have not lived in the US already, have an awesome, splendid superb, extraordinary rest of the week. I can't wait for you guys to come, relax and I'll talk to you later in the next post!

One more thing - Wordless Wednesday below:

Welcome Back to the Blog!!!

Hello everybody! Sorry it was a little early because I am so going to have the IEP meeting after school. Not only do the roads clear up for my future, but it has the best of luck for the final term of my 16-year formal academic career.

First things first, I may want to be perfectly honest that I will be able to prerecord my fanfiction chapters for deviantART over the weekend as well as to finish Ordinary People by Judith Guest and Swamplandia! by Karen Russell. I want to finish watching Frozen Generations LP, as in the final two parts before THE END, so I have to get into the full swing of the Generations summer edition aka The Married Life of SpongeBob and Sandy by Cheeze18. I understand that summer is different from winter as a contrast for family life. When I get the gaming channel launched, I probably will want to play with the human version of the Generation 3 heir of my legacy challenge in fanfiction form and my simself (I want to have electric purple hair with cobalt blue streaks, hair should be long, bright sky blue eyes, light peach skin, lips red as blood, eye shadow a perfect black to come with the mascara, classic pink blush, and a body as hot as Barbie). I call this Generations dream house fantasy edition.

Second, the Seahawks are going to face off with the Patriots on February 1, 2015 which is next Sunday in Arizona. I do get the blue and green spirit, but the Patriots share the colors as the school (red, white and blue). Earth with America! xD My Super Bowl prediction had come true as mentally promised in my brain.

So I'll talk to you later! Have a nice weekend.

Fanfiction and LP Madness

Hey, guys! Welcome back to the blog. I am so thrilled to go back in the swing of finishing things up with what I have started from earlier in my high school career (let's say sophomore year). I thought I enjoyed so many stories that was so original to me. I could remake a bit of the originality to go with my personality and style, but to be perfectly honest, I started a New Year's plan recently to get into fanfiction and I did get into the fanfiction: starting with the Sonic Underground remake by julayla, I enjoyed the first seven chapters (21 parts; 3 parts per chapter) of the work. I also enjoyed the MotionBook adaptation of the first episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and the first sixteen chapters of The Married Life of SpongeBob and Sandy by Cheeze18 on fanfiction.net (reminds me of Generations summer edition, the winter edition is Frozen by YouTube's TheEnglishSimmer). I can't wait to read more of these fanfiction, but I will be able to do the walkthrough of Fanfic Critic (remember: she reads, you and I listen!) starting on the second semester of this school year.

For my own fanfiction, I just want to do the twist of the Legacy Challenge with alternate universe, original characters and is definitely a prequel to the 2005 video game, and so I did it on purpose for deviantART. You can read it, starting from the beginning to live and ongoing if you have not already and would like to do so under the link: shadhardblogger.deviantart.com!

For the LPs, I kind of think I should be able to plan because of so much inspiration going on from YouTube, starting a year and a half ago, I just want to prerecord the episodes for my gaming channel which is my goal.

And that was the ranting I had, so I'll talk to you tomorrow because I am so halfway there through finals! Keep it up.

One Week from Now...

By Monday 1/19/2015, if you live in the USA, that means MLK Day was observed, you should celebrate the diverse remembrance of the Civil Rights taken from 1964. It was worth 50 years back in time, you may be aware about the realities of what the world is actually like. You should see that the world is such a terrible place on the inside, but beautiful on the outside; but don't get it started over my fanfic: it's not all about the life of a Mary-Sue! It's a legacy challenge in real life with the backstory and alternate universe combined. If you are not sure about the story, Miyako was born Japanese and raised an American. She started a legacy challenge when she was 14.5 years old and met a special friend: it's a fire angel!

But on that same day as MLK Day this year, Maximum Ride Forever should be coming out to bookstores and possibly the libraries, and also can be now available in eBook format including the Kindle Voyage. I'll just have to wait and see for the answers to come up with when it comes to the Maximum Ride Forever post with the answers taken care of. Let's just hope things may turn for the better or for the worse. I highly recommend you guys to read the first 8 of the Maximum Ride series before the ninth one comes out. And yikes, I'm a third of the way there through the now 9-parter extended series - I should get going with the fairy tales, Narnia, Sisterhood and Uglies really quick but it'll take some time, so bear it with me. You will never know.

When we come back to school, I have to be busy with the reviewing, following be finals. The first of the three days were slated by my 19th birthday (which means a surprise party plus cake and ice cream!), following by Thursday and Friday as the last two days of the semester before I come back to blogging and posting fanfiction to deviantART.

Have a 3-day weekend and may the acceptance be in your heart! I'll talk to you in the next post one week from now.

Semester 1 FINALS 2015

Hello. And welcome back to the blog. I'm sorry to say that I am about done prerecording some of the chapters for deviantART and all I can say is pure relief and am ready for publication because it will take place - three chapters are going to be posted today and one chapter is going to be published by my 19th birthday next week, and two more chapters are going to be published by the next Saturday. If you have not heard a bit of the legacy already, Miyako was born Japanese and was raised an American. The next three chapters: minor spoilers - remember the morning commute back in my grandparents' day, how things turn out to be much of a role play between a parent and a teen, how the legacy began and how a special friend makes a debut. One chapter next week is all about high school days, and next Saturday is the real start of the legacy with what you have been familiar with before and meeting up with a special friend for a makeover and starting college. I will not be there on the web, because of the studying and I will be busy. So call me back by next Friday at 12:40 PM PST sharp! Okay? So be sure to check things out on dA for my deviations, favorites, fanfiction, and requested stories about my requested ideas to random people for the next 9 days. I will speak to you in the next post. Bye! XD

#finals #onhold #checkitout

I'm Sorry About the Long Wait

            It took two months on hiatus, but hey, I'm back. 15 days left until the end of Semester 1, which means it's that time again to get busy and be prepared for finals. I got a few new ideas going on the web: I got my new blog called Plumbobs, Emeralds and Everything Else in Between. It's a gaming blog that comes with my gaming channel coming soon. And also, about last month, the deviantART logo had been changed and even had an app for smartphones (iOS and Androids count). Half a week ago, my first ever journal entry had been published following by last night that I did get the very short profile published in order to avoid any spoilers. (check this out @ shadhardblogger.deviantart.com for my favorites, requested story ideas to random people and more) If you are not sure about the legacy, this is going to be different from what you have been familiar with the Sims Legacy Challenge - there is going to be all text and no picspam (like a novel rather than just a scrapbook album). Keep in mind, the legacy and the coming-of-age story remake is going to be fanfiction as in alternate universe and backstory combined to span at least seven decades or so. Be on the lookout for legacy chapters, blog posts, journal entries and favorites as well as the awesomeness to come. Furthermore, I only got five months remaining to figure my future out because it'll start to straighten my timeline bit by bit. So there you have it: I will post up more blog posts every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday in the second semester; trust me. Have a nice day!

Life Could Be Overwhelming

Dear Diary,

I don't know what to do with tomorrow but to apply myself for college, job training or whatever it fits for me and my disability. So please, write/reply to us back as soon as possible!

Yours truly,
Natalie Marrujo

The Selection Review

This is the story about a girl named America Singer. She comes from the Five and applies for the competition called the Selection. The Selection is where the prince from the One chooses one of the thirty-five girls between the ages of 16 and 20; it depends on time to take more than just days, but weeks, months and even years, so it's not a scheduled will for all of Illea to deal with. Although, she's in love with Aspen, she was acquainted by Maxon. In the One, people get to make dresses for the girls that come from several castes; but however, in the Five, they get to wear usual clothing: T-shirts, jeans and shoes.

The question: Can she fall in love with Maxon?

I guess it was one of the dystopian books I got from home, because I just finished it two weeks ago. I wonder what can become of America when it comes to the sequel called The Elite and second sequel The One. I declare 5 out of 5 stars, but recommended.

What's on my fall list for 2014?

Here are my reading plans for this season:

1. Magic Month (October) - Get your magic on until Halloween comes!
2. Literary Fiction Month (in honor of Novel Writing Month) (November) - Make sure to write one in 50,000 words or more.
3. Dystopia Month (in honor of Hunger Games trilogy) (December) - Have your participation settled for the Games!

I hope you enjoyed it. What's your Fall TBR?

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.
