April 2021 Recap

//Hi! 'Tis officially May...uh yay! This is my first recap ever so I hope I get this right.\\

||My life|| 

Went to my Grandparent's for the first time in a year for Easter. Funfun...

Went to Campas days at FLBS. My sister, Clarissa, went to this school back in 2016 (Doesn't seem like five years ago, does it?) Though I'm pretty sure I wont be going to a bible college, It was an experience. It was a confusing mixture of awe, loneliness, bliss and panic. I'm really sad I didn't get any pictures πŸ˜‘

Got a new poster for one of my favorite bands, Siames, have you heard of them? If you haven't, I should do a posting about them or something! We'll see.

||Read||

The Boy With Words for Skin by Jacob Seifert. 9/10. Interesting, Dark, Spooky, weird, and way too many cliffhangers. I loved it. I would've given It 10/10, my issues with it are that the author seems to make fun of one of the characters for being a Christian, And that the ending could've explained more. Honestly a very good book, almost gives me hope that everything on wattpad is not completely horrible.
Pride and Prejudice
Yes, yes, I finally read it. And it was.......Awesome!
10/10 pretty much what I was expecting. Such a beautiful piece of literature. The witty conversations were so awesome and refreshing. A lot of you have read this already, so I wont go into the details.

||Watched||

I didn't really watch that many movies this month. One I can remember is Runaway Bride with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. This movie what definetly not what I thought It was going to be. 5/10 Plot was kind of predictable, their was some pretty funny moments though. 'Ike' was really kind of creepy, especially since he looks way older that the main character. It was an okay movie, I neither hate it nor love it.
I watched like 3/4 of Captain Marvel, so I can't really write about it I guess.
I was hoping to get to watch season two of The Chosen but the episodes are coming out one by one, and I much rather binge watch the whole thing, so personally I'm gonna wait.

||Creations||

Did this piece and I am quite proud of it. Took me quite a while to get back in swing with my watercolors, but I think I did okay. The paper in the sketchbook is so not watercolor friendly though πŸ™„

Some Jewelry I made this April...




||Blogging||

Did the "If was a Fictional Character" thing, and quite enjoyed it.

This month I got the most views I've got....ever! So thats really exciting. The post that got the most views this month is one about Film Music that got 14 views! 😊

||This Month||

If all goes well, Clarissa and I are going to sell some of our products on May 15. Pray this goes well! I will probably make a posting about it, hopefully with pictures.

(Again) Thinking about making a posting about Siames. If not probably another music posting in some form or other.

I got tagged for the "Behind the Blogger" tag (Thanks Elizabeth!), so I'm trying to get on that right away.

I also finished my sketchbook this week so maybe I'll have a sketchbook tour this month.

||How was your April? Do anythin' fun? Thanks for reading!||

If I Was a Fictional Character

|| Hello Again, thanks for visiting my blog, today I will be doing one of my new favorite kind of postings, the If I was a Fictional Character tag-ish thing. I read McKayla's and soon found myself lost in a rabbit hole. Here are the ones I read: McKayla's, Samantha's, Mary Kate's, I'm hoping I don't get awkward and ruin it, so here goes nothin'||

1.

Share a snippet that Involves a Desciption of Their Appearence
The girl finished nailing the board unto the small shack, then, slightly irritated, adjusts her earbuds better into her ear. Assessing her progress, She smiles widely, making wrinkles around her bright green eyes. They would be her favorite feature, setting her apart from the rest of her family, who all shared a wintry blue. She also had brown, permed out hair, about mid-length and sticking out in odd directions from the curl. Her complexion is a soft brown, lightly tanned, and devoid of makeup (too much work, uncomfortable to wear, the list of excuses goes on). As she walks down the wooded path home, she shivers in the spring air and adjusts her oversized forest green sweater, which she wears over her black graphic t-shirt and black pants. Then she walks home, and picking up the black fluffy cat hiding behind a tree, and carriying him home.
5 Ways to Win Her Friendship
1. Be Weird - Seriously, being normal is an illusion created by boring people, get into it!
2. Be interested in one of her fandoms, even in the smallest way, like looking at her fandoms board on pinterest or listening to her favorite band.
3. Give her stuff - honestly, not saying you should bribe, but food, books and art supplies are one road to her heart πŸ˜„
4. Watch tv with her - She is a very empathetic and likes to think about how others are feeling in response to different situations. Watching her favorite television gives her opportunities to feel things vicariously.
5. Be sincere - She hates it when people are fake. Be honest and open, but be kind.
Favorite Type of Weather
Varies a bit. She loves violent thunderstorms as well as gentle rain and as much as a serene sunny day.


Food Quirks
 She spreads miracle whip on every sandwich ever (I make all of my sandwiches with mayonnaise - White 'n Nerdy-Weird Al). Also thinks every savory food is better with onions.
Eats everything bagels regually at midnight. Loves all citrus excepting limes.
How often do they smile? Would they smile at a stranger?
She, in fact, has a smile reserved for certain strangers. If she smiles crazlily at you with a wild look in her eyes, it's best to smile and look away, before she gives you the "Mr. Bean thumbs up".

If they could travel anywhere in the world, where would they go?
 She's dreamed of going to Paris, France since she was a small child, but would also like to go to New Zealand, Rome, Japan, and Scoland.
What's their favorite food?
Lemons, Strawberries, Strawberry lemonade, and chocolate chip cookies. 
What is the most humiliating event of their life?
 She doesn't prefer to um, dwell on these kinds of things.
What habits, speech patterns, etc. are unique to them?
 "Shucky darn"
 Screams while running up the stairs - I know, weird
Constant singing
"Jazzy" "Classy" "Spiffy" "Snazzy"
Yelling at the characters on TV when nobody else is around
Replying to her singing (ex. Sings-"No replyy at aaaall" Answers herself- "why no reply? That's kinda ruuuude")
"Yeah, well, okay"  
Are they a night owl or a morning person?
 A night owl, but forces herself to go to bed and get up in the morning.
Describe your character's personality first in one word, then elaborate with a few sentences
(My sister, when I asked her this: "Just look up synonyms for crazy") 
Probably....confusing (sorry folks that's the best I got) She confuses both herself and others with her inconsistency. Sometimes acting hyper and giddy when inside feels tired and depressed, and other times acting bored and emotionless when she's actually smiling on the inside. Somes not caring at all what people think an other times wishing she could fade into the background. (Dude, that was deep πŸ˜‚)
What sights, sounds, and smells are unique to this character?
Smoke from the woodstove and rain are her favorite smells. Also connected to her may be the smell of a house in progress - taping mud, wood and woodshavings, paint and all (Her father was/is a carpentar).
It is common for her to be looking upon the prairie, miles and miles of grass, cattails, treelines and swamps.
This sound has surronded her for her whole life up 'til now. Now days it's played almost every other day. She's a fan of Chopin and his nocturnes, and they go best with a rainy day.

If they were an element [fire, water, earth, air], which one would they be?
She is passionate and emotional, and belives 'twould be most likely Fire.
Quirks
Has an imaginary conversation in her head and then blurts out something random from it
Figety.
Loves wearing Alien socks.
Bit of a neat freak and is pretty ocd and fastidious about some things.
Socially awkward when she's not with her family or Bff (Is that a quirk?)
Always has the tv volume at a multiple of five.
Leaves little notes inside books at the library for future readers.
Has utter distain for anything popular
Puts post-its on her art that she hates-but doesn't want to earase.
This was pretty fun. I think you can just do this if you want to. Thank you  for reading! I hope you enjoyed! Post your comments below 😊 ||And another thing, if any of you know how to get the white highlighter off of the words, let me know, 'twould be very helpful!||

Film Music YOU Need to Listen to- April 8, 2021

Hello lovelies! Today I'm here to tell you about five songs from television that are just great, whether you've watched the show or not (but seriously, watch the show anyway because I probably love it) Let's get into it!

Starting off with something from something from one of the most *beautiful* movies in my book, Lord of the Rings. This song has always been somewhat of a home-like and comforting, not only because I was (and still am) obsessed with LOTR as a child, but also the fact that in the movie, it's supposed to remind you of the shire, the comforting, sunny, green place hobbits come from.


Next up is one of my favorite songs from BBCs Merlin (love this show, watch it) 


 Ice Dance from Edward Scissorhands. This is such a beautiful, whimsical song, it makes me feel like I'm in a fairy tale.


This song is just.....woah. Hard to pick but, I'd say this is my favorite song from this movie. It's just filled with so much passion and gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it.


Okay, I couldn't resist. Another Merlin song for ya. The piano though πŸ˜’

And that concludes this small posting, I really hope you enjoyed reading and I hope you'll want to  listen to the music in the future. You can also find some more music from my favorite films on Spotify. Have you watched any of these shows? Do you like them? Got any good film music to reccomend to me? Let me know in the comments πŸ‘‡πŸ˜



Happy Valentines Day
