Top 5 Friday: Movie Villain

Time for another Top 5 Friday!

This week's topic is MOVIE VILLAINS!

This week I will start with my fifth choice and work up to my first choice.

I hope you enjoy!

5. The Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Don't remember him? He's the guy who scared you when you were little. He was worse than the monster under the bed and creepier than halloween. My theory is that they made him this creepy to make sure that children never ever trust people with ice cream. He gives me the chills just looking at him.

4. Smaug the Terrible from The Hobbit trilogy

He was a decent villain in the book but he's way better in the movies. Anyway, how could I resist putting the most realistic looking dragon on this list. Just a reminder, when you go see The Hobbit: the Desolation of Smaug in 3D, be prepared to hold on to your friends arm!

3. Loki from The Marvel Universe

I'm not in love with Tom Hiddleston like many girls my age (cough, cough LUNE, Cough..). However, he was a pretty good villain.

I just realized something.

I put Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch in the same post.

How are you fangirls holding up?

It's about to get worse….

2. Moriarty from BBC's Sherlock 

In case you were wondering, I'm talking about the Moriarty from the Sherlock TV show, not the movie. I know I said that I was doing movie villains, but, yet again, I couldn't resist. How to describe Moriarty. I have no idea. No one could have played him better. He is hilarious yet terrible.

And for the moment you've all been waiting for….

1. Lord Voldemort from Harry Potter

No one could out do Voldemort.

"You just can't." 

Okay, I'll stop.

It's just that I'm staring at a picture of Moriarty!

Anyway….

He is pure evil. There isn't anyone worse.

Do you want to know why he's the best villain?

He doesn't have a nose.

He cannot smell death (that was for you, my fellow Book Thief lovers).

The poison of it cannot reach him.

That is the reason.


I hope you have enjoyed this post.

Tell me what your top 5 movie villains are in the comments below.

So long!

T-Shirt Con

I'm planning on something very special for my blog next week.

Huge.

Probably not...

Anyway, I'm really excited about it.

I'm calling it the....

Are you ready for it?

T-Shirt Con!

I was not able to attend the Comic-Con in California this year.

I didn't even get to go to any of our local ones.

That is okay, though, because I'm having my own.

Sort of.

I went through my shirts yesterday and took out all of my fandom shirts. I then went and found things throughout my house that went along with the fandom such as lightsabers and Harry Potter glasses.

Thus, T-Shirt Con was born.

Next week, I will post a picture everyday of me in a fandom shirt with at least one other prop.

I will do this for six days precisely.

The fandoms that I will be honoring are the following: Harry Potter, Star Wars (twice!), Disney, Marvel Universe, and Sherlock*.

*You should know now that I do not yet own a Sherlock t-shirt (Hot-Topic, here I come!) so I have improvised.

You do not understand how tempting it is for me to go buy a bunch of Harry Potter and Downton Abbey stuff for this, but I'm on a budget....

I don't copyright this idea at all and it would be really cool if you guys joined me in this. You don't have to do it everyday, either. Just find a collection of fandom stuff and wear one outfit a day next week. If you decide to do it, just leave a comment on my daily T-Shirt Con post next week! If you have a blog and post pictures, please leave the link in the comments!

I will be starting February 3 and ending on February 8.

This is going to be fun!

Once again, I hope you join me in the T-Shirt Con!

So long!

Winter Jam Time!

I've been procrastinating.

I know it.

I should have posted more last week.

I'm sorry.

Anyway...

I guess it's time for my Winter Jam post. This one isn't as great as the post last year, but I'll give you a sneak peak of what we did.

First of all, it was cold.

Very cold.

You cannot understand how cold it was.

Really, for the past couple of weeks we've considered double-digits a heat wave.

So, Lune Lenore Violette and I did the only thing that we could.

We sang "Let it Go."

I know that this is the THIRD POST IN A ROW that features this song, but you can't have too much of this amazing Disney song!

"The cold never bothered me anyway!"

So, I say all of that to say that we were cold.

Our church decided to get VIP tickets this year because we almost didn't get in last year and we almost always have to sit behind the stage where we can't see.

Now while we did get to skip the five hour line, we still had to wait an hour to get in.

In order to make this brief, let me just say a few things.

Lune forgot her socks.

I had a short sleeve shirt and a jacket with no scarf.

Our feet didn't get warm until we had been inside for half an hour.

I'm sure you are tired of hearing about how cold we were, but I know that Lune is out there reading this and remembering those "good times."

Anyway, our friends Hannah and Sarah were going to hang out with us for the night and together we picked out the best seats.

We didn't want to sit on the floor because, well, I'm not that tall. We had a perfect view of the stage. Needless to say, we were pretty proud of our seats.

Here's a close up view of the stage.

I'm not all together sure who was on stage at this time, but I took a picture.

There were some really good bands there that night. The big stars of the night were obviously Lecrae and Newsboys. A few other popular artists were there as well such as NewSong and Plumb.

NewSong was the founder of Winter Jam and they play every year. They weren't my favorite last year but they were amazing this year! In one song they got this guy named Jared Emerson up there and he painted a picture of Jesus. You couldn't quite see it at first but when you did it was really cool.

We've all heard Plumb on the radio before and I was really excited to see her! I really like her song "Need you Now."

They usually have a hard core rock band at Winter Jam. Red played last year and they scared me. They had fire and post-Apocalypse costumes. It was weird. This year they had Thousand Foot Krutch.

Ugh...

All Lune and I got out of that was "Blow up the sky" and "Burn it Up."

Those were the only words you could understand.

There was a guy next to me who was really getting into it, though. There was originally a whole seat in-between us.

By the time TFK had gotten half way through there first song, there was 4 inches of room.

He was doing some kind of weird dance.

So...

Everyone was really excited for Lecrae, but, honestly, I'm not into rap. It's just not my thing. It was really cool getting to see him though.

Then it was Newsboys!

Wow.

The lead singer actually got up on a lift-thing and was three feet above my head.

I wish I had a picture.

I thought I was going to scream.

All in all, it was an amazing experience.

I cannot wait for the next Winter Jam.

Top 5 Friday!

I'm going to start something called "Top 5 Friday." Every Friday I will post my top five of something.

This weeks topic: TOP 5 DISNEY SONGS

I'm obsessed with Disney music. It's just amazing. 

Here we go!

1. I'll Make a Man out of You from Mulan

This song is hilarious! I love all the music from Mulan but this is definitely the best song. Not to mention, the Avengers version of this is very funny as well.

2. Let it Go from Frozen

This song is just amazing. It just is. Your argument is invalid. Sorry.

3. Circle of Life from Lion King

I don't necessarily agree with the views of this song, but I still think it is a great song. It's another one of those songs you just can't argue with. 

4. Kiss the Girl from The Little Mermaid

I really like this song and I have no idea why. You probably know what I mean.

5. Friend Like Me from Aladdin

I love the animation in the song! Not to mention the lyrics are pretty funny.

Bonus: A Whole New World from Aladdin

I couldn't resist adding this one as a bonus. I just love the song. 

What are your top ten Disney songs? I'd love to find out.

So long!

My Personal Theme Songs

I thought, a few days ago, about if I had a theme song, what would it be?

This is the post where I answer that.

Here are four songs that I think describe me somewhat.

1. All Most There from The Princess and the Frog

I really like this song and I think that Tiana is a whole lot like me. I have my dreams and I am going to make them come true. 

2. I Won't Say I'm in Love from Hercules

This one isn't as true for me as All Most There. I mean, I haven't had a string of boyfriends that all broke my heart, but my friends can attest to the fact that most of the time I really won't say that I'm in love. Of course, it's never really love. Oh well, this is one of the songs that I will pick. 

3. Let it Go from Frozen

I like to sing this song when I'm trying to let something go. Not to mention, I really like this song! The one line that does not apply to me is "That perfect girl is gone." 

4. Be Prepared from Lion King

The name applies to me more than the song. I feel like I act like Scar at times. 

If you know me, I'd love to hear if you agree that these would be my theme songs. 

I'd also love to find out what your theme songs would be!

So long!

The Christmas Experience

Hi, everyone! I am here to talk about my drama play: The Christmas Experience. We were supposed to do it before Christmas but we had too much snow. 

Anyway, It was really unique and fun. 

The play started off with a short skit about a girl trying to tell her weird family about Christmas.

It was pretty funny. I really wish I could have seen their final performance. Unfortunately, I was in the other part of the building trying to keep John the Baptist from being beheaded by Herod the Great. I'll explain that later.

Next was a reading of a made-up back story of Mary and Joseph. I don't actually have a picture of this one.

After that, the audience split up into four groups. They went to each of the four skits and rotated after each one until everyone had seen all of them.

Here they are.

This is the shepherd skit. It was about the shepherds running into town and telling everyone about seeing the star and all the angels.

This is the innkeeper skit. It was about the innkeeper not allowing Mary and Joseph to stay at their house and his wife berating him. That was a really bad description that I gave you, but I couldn't think of a better one. 

I almost forgot, at the beginning of each skit, someone would come up and read something about the characters. After the skit was over, they would come up and ask questions about what had just occurred.

Josiah really was the best possible innkeeper.

Sarah was really good as well. 

And then there was my skit. We don't have a great setup here but we made do. 

I played Elizabeth, Mary's cousin while my friend Devin played Zacharias. 

We did a lot of improv to make it longer and, all in all, had a lot of fun.

I did discover, however, that even fake babies get heavy after holding them for a long time. 

Yes, I am holding baby John the Baptist. 

As for what I told you earlier about John the Baptist and Herod….

We had been having fun with the baby. We said things like "It has Jade's eyes and Devin's mouth!" I went around letting people hold the baby as well. You see, the Herod skit (for which I do not have any pictures of) station was just outside of the room that the John the Baptist station was in. We had to wait back there while the audience was coming and during the beginning skits. We were entertaining ourselves and being ridiculous (it was actually good practice for getting into character). That was when Owen, who was playing Herod, took one of the palace guards' sword and tried to behead the baby. In case you don't know, Herod (a different one) does behead John the Baptist later in his life. It was pretty funny. 

Anyway, after that was the angel skit. It was the whole thing from Gabriel's point of view. It is really funny.

We couldn't have had a better Gabriel than Josh.

Lastly was a responsive reading that was all about us praising God.

So, in the end, it was a great production. It was kind of weird, it being after Christmas and all, but that was okay. 

My mom actually did a video of my skit and I'll have to post it on here soon.

I hope you enjoyed this post.

Coming soon: Winter Jam!

So long!
