What Is Going On

Kit's birthday is coming up (December 3). I will have a party for her on the fourth which is a Saturday. I just forgot to make her a present! I'll try to come up with something. I got a study Bible yesterday. I really like it. It has lots of charts and maps in it (and if you know me REALLY well you would know that I love maps, charts, and graphs). We also saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 last night. It was 2 1/2 hours! I will do a movie review on it.

Harry Potter and Star Wars Combined

I just watched these movies on YouTube. They are really funny!

Book and Movie Reviews

You might have noticed that I have a new page that I write book and movie reviews on. I will write them, but I want you to as well. I will need your email address though. I do have some of yours and some of you have your email addresses on your blogs. If I don't know or can't find your email address then you won't be able to write a review. I don't want you to be saying your email addresses on a comment. The way you write your review is for you to email it to me after I email you about it. I will then type it up in my page for reviews. There are some things that you need to include in your review.

1. your own personal opinion

2. favorite part

3. least favorite part

4. favorite character

5. violence

6. language (good? bad?)

7. romance (probably the worst part of Harry Potter and Star Wars)

8. anything else

There are some people that I will request write reviews.

1. Meghan

2. Corsicapeace

3. crazybear38?

If anybody else would like to sign up just comment and tell me.

Knights of the Square Table and Camolittle

I just got home from Corsicapeace's house. We made a club called The Knights of the Square Table. We also pretend like we are from Camolittle. We were all knighted different things. Emily was knighted Sir Ron the Arachnophobe (someone who is afraid of spiders), Corsicapeace was knighted Sir Draco the Daring, Crazybear38 was knighted Lady Hermione the Smart, and I was knighted Lady Ginny the Quick-witted. We were all knighted according to our parts in our Harry Potter plays except me. I have to play Harry Potter and I didn't want to be knight Sir Harry the Brave so Corsicapeace changed it. We are all girls but Emily and Corsicapeace play boys in the play. We were going to have a leader but instead we all have equal roles. Besides, a square has four equal sides and since there are four members (unless you count our 2 pages) we all have equal roles. Corsicapeace wrote a pledge which we take. She will be emailing it to me and I will probably memorize it. We do have Excalibur also. It also serves purpose as the Sword of Gryffindor. Our weapons that we have for the club are stick wands (which are useless), lightsabers, fake pistols, a fake shotgun, a fake laser whip, and a basilisk (a snake that will kill you if you look into its eyes but also fake). We don't have the best defence system or organization (I'm working on that) ,but we have lots of fun. Not only do we say our pledge but we say the different house descriptions from Harry Potter. I have had to memorize the Ravenclaw one.

Or in wise old Ravenclaw

Force Lightning

This is a journal entry for school that I just finished. It took forever and is the longest composition I have written since my book report on Island of the Blue Dolphins (sad, good, and terrible book).

Force Lightning

I have recently become interested with force lightning. I found out about it while watching Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi. When Corsicapeace (had to take out her name for this post) and I started writing Star wars plays we knew we wanted to include it. Unfortunately, a couple of months ago we had written ten plays with some containing force lightning. I was researching force lightning and found out that we had a problem. Our plays that we had worked on half the summer were inaccurate! I did some revising of the ones that we hadn't acted out and everything is okay now. I am not writing this to tell you about how I had to revise plays but to teach you about force lightning.

Force lightning is a force ability. It is also known as sith lightning as it was most often used by members of the sith. It sends electricity through someone's body using your hand or fingertips. The more skilled you were with it, the more the bolts would branch out. The more it branched out, the more people you could target. You are unable to dodge force lightning, but powerful Jedi could block it with their lightsabers. Yoda was able to absorb and redirect force lightning using his hands. One short bolt could result in unconsciousness for the victim or death. There are short and long term effects to the user and victim. It deforms the victim and can lead to brain damage, blindness, or being crippled for life. Humans will usually have small seizures all over their body due to a drop in blood minerals. You could avoid some long term effects with complete bed rest and proper treatment. As for the user, it could drain their energy, deform them, and possibly burn holes in their hand. People on the light side could learn to use force lightning if they wanted to. Most Jedi Councils didn't allow it however. There are many different variations of force lightning.

There are a couple of things that you might not have understood if you have seen Star Wars VI. First of all, if force lightning can kill quickly then how come Luke Skywalker didn't die after a short amount of time of being hit with it by Emperor Palpatine? The reason was that Luke was the last of the Jedi and the emperor decided to slowly kill him to watch the last of the Jedi suffer (there is something wrong with the emperor). Also, how come Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker dies? When Anakin (this act made him become his old self again) was throwing the emperor down the reactor chasm some of the force lightning hit him. Because of that his breathing circuit was messed up and he died.

I hope you enjoyed learning about force lightning.

Homestudy

Today is the day of our homestudy for the adoption. In case you don't know, we are adopting a girl from China. She will be around the ages of 4-7. We hope to get her in the summer. The homestudy is where a lady is going to come and do a safety inspection (we have been cleaning for days) and interview us. This is an important part in the adoption. I think we are all nervous.

Our Pass It On Book

This is something that nobody (except me and Corsicapeace) has seen. It is the first chapter in our pass it on book. What is a pass it on book? Well, Corsicapeace wrote the chapter you are going to read and then I wrote the next. We will continue on like that until we decide that it is done. You must know that this is a book that has combined Corsicapeace and I (we changed our names) and Star Wars. The character like me is Skylar Holly_____ and the character like Corsicapeace is Arie Adrian _____. We don't really like to invent as Skylar and Arie do but everything else is pretty much like ourselves. Enjoy!



Chapter 1: The Two Inventor Girls

Hey! Who says boys are better at inventing then girls?! I'll tell you one thing. Arie and Skylar were better inventors then most professionally trained inventors let alone boys their age. And now, these two complete opposite friends were fixing to invent their biggest invention yet. A ship that would take them to the farthest reaches of the galaxy and... Well, let me start from the beginning.

Arie and Skylar had been friends for as long as they could remember, as long as their parents could remember, as long as anyone in the whole neighborhood could remember. They were great companions but yet total opposites. Skylar had long, solid, flowing brown-blond hair; Arie had solid medium grown hair cut to her chin with lots of layers. Skylar was graceful and elegant; Arie was reckless, wild, and randomly crazy. Skylar was an excellent dancer and very flexible; Arie was more into running and playing large games with lots of kids then fancy dancing. Despite their differences, they both loved reading, writing, inventing, and Star Wars which often inspired their inventions. They were planning to visit a Star Wars planet, that is, if they could decide which one.

"Did you check the hyperdrive yet?" asked Skylar. "I'm working on it!" came a muffled yell from under the massive rocket. There was loud clanking noise and the next moment Arie emerged happily. "She's ready to go, captain," she said with a mocking grin. "Oh, be quiet!" said Skylar. "You know as well as I do that your gonna be the one driving this thing," she declared. "I'm going to navigate," she beamed proudly. "Yeah, you better because I can't handle all those fragile little instruments," Arie answered. "THAT'S because you don't have the patience," stated Skylar matter-of-factly. "You're no one to talk," said Arie. "Fine, but at least I have more patience then you," said Skylar in a slightly whiny voice. "Oh, who cares?! Come one, let's rock this hunk of metal!" They boarded the ship and blasted off... to somewhere.

How did you like it? I might release some more of the chapters on another day. You never know, I might release one of our Star Wars plays one day. I do know one thing for sure. Corsicapeace and I can't stop writing different pieces of literature. Whether it is plays, books, or poetry we will continue writing.

Research Paper

I have to write a research paper for grammar and composition. I can't come up with a subject. I asked mama if I could do Star Wars but she said no. I have to figure it out very soon. They say to have a topic that interests you so I considered that. I considered doing my paper about an American Girl time period but I changed my mind. I'm considering doing apologetics. Mama suggested the Holocaust. She got that idea from what my reading is currently. I am reading Corrie ten Boom (she isn't Jewish actually) who lived during the Holocaust. It is a great book but very sad. Anyway, I don't really want to write about the Holocaust. If I was to write about something that I enjoy I could write about cardboard boxes. I love them! They are great for building things (lightsaber, boat, plane...). They also do say to pick a topic that will be helpful and interest my audience. I don't thing learning about cardboard boxes would be interesting and it would be hard to find things to learn about them. As you can see, I need some ideas.
