Rambles on about interesting stuff...
Hey everyone!
Christmas is so close. Only four days away. Thank goodness I got my shopping done, aye? lol I'm glad I did...it makes everything so much easier. And I would write what I got them if these certain people didn't look at my blog...but I assure you they are very cool presents. (Yes, mom, you'll love yours. Dad assured me you would...so no worries.)
Anyways, being a Christian, Christmas means a lot to me. It's not about the presents, or Santa, or even getting together with your family. Not about the Christmas tree, all pretty and beautiful, or about the food, but about the birth of Jesus Christ. (Who was actually born in September, but we celebrate it in December.) Sure, all the other stuff is great and wonderful, but the main focus should be on Jesus Christ, our savior. He wasn't born in a castle, or even an inn, but in a small stable, his bed a manger. The humblest of places to stay, when no one else would let them in. And he grew up and died for us all, so that our sins would be forgiven and we would be able to spend eternity with him in Heaven. I love that, and it stuns me that Jesus, who didn't have to save us at all, chose to take on all our sins and die for his children...his sinful children who didn't deserve that, or his love. Yet, he did it anyways.
Isn't that amazing to think about?
Anyways, I got school off this week, except for writing an essay. I'm a bit behind with that right now, and my mom's worried because I will need to know how to write essays and stuff for college. (I've never actually written an essay before...or a research paper. The school I went to before getting home schooled never taught me how to. Ehh....) So, I will have my hands full for a little bit.
I found out yesterday that Peter Jackson has finally agreed to make the Hobbit into a movie. Isn't that great news? He'll begin to film it next year, I believe, and then it will be released in 2010 and 2011. Since there is so much stuff in the book, and they don't want to cut any of it out, it will be released into two separate movies. I wonder how that is going to work...but in any case I am very very excited about it.
Ah! My friend and I get to go see National Treasure: Book of Secrets on Friday. I'm really uber excited for it....especially since my Pirates DVD came with a free ticket. (Did I mention I got my Pirates DVD about a week ago? It's the two disk version and I LOVE it!!!! I still don't think I've fully realized that it's out and that I have it...lol, but I've only watched it once....I'll have to change that.)
Alright, I think that's it. Except, do you think this font is hard to read? My mother does, and I might change it then if no one can really read it properly.
Have a great day, everyone, and a wonderful Christmas |

You Should Be a Romance Novelist
|
You see the world as it should be, and this goes double for all matters of the heart.
You can find the romance in any situation, and you would make a talented romance story writer...
And while you may be a traditional romantic, you're just as likely to be drawn to quirky or dark love stories.
As long as it deals with infatuation, heartbreak, and soulmates - you could write it.
