Narnia, baby!

It's been a few days since I last posted, and I don't do posts about my actual life very often, so here's a treat for you! Tomorrow, one of my best friends Molly and I are going shopping and then to see The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I have been waiting for this movie since, like, Prince Caspian came out. (which I LOVE, by the way. Forget what others critics say--it's one of my favorite movies!) The two of us haven't been to the movies together since Percy Jackson and the Olympians in February, so it's about time. :)

this is an old photo, taken last January. We both look so much younger!

I love, love, love Narnia. Like I said in a previous post, I'm not one of the die-hard fans who gets all angry when one word of the original book is changed--I actually prefer the movies. I know, how traitorous! But it's true. And, I suppose partly in honor of the movie, partly because I wanted to, and partly because I had nothing else to draw, I did a picture of Aslan last night and one of Reepicheep today. I never thought before I was good at animals--people are my forte--but they turned out to be a lot of fun. So much fun that I plan to frame both and put them on my wall. :)

Then on Sunday night, me and another dear friend, Katelyn, are going to a Christmas party for her youth group. So I'm pretty much set for a busy, fun weekend with my buddies. Missing, of course, are my other buddies....Shaynie, Olivia, Lorna, Alyssa, Bronwyn, Ellie, Gail, Beth, Stephanie, Caroline, and all my fantastic buddies here on Blogger--Guin, Ellyn, Mirriam, Eldarwen, Bleah, Hannah of Aspire, Hannah M, Margaret Rowena, Sierra, Elizabeth Rose, The Golden Eagle, Memzie, Melody, Charming Elephant, Olive Tree-now-Olivia, Sabryna, Cassie, Milisande, Antonia, Lizzy, Autumn, Nahla, and the rest of you fantastic people who know how awesome you are. It may be very over-used, but it's true--I love you guys! :)

Anyways, I think this post has veered off its original course, which was Narnia. I'll leave you now with two pictures...the first is my favorite of me and Katelyn, and the second is a tribute to Narnia. You can be sure I'll be wearing that necklace tomorrow to the movie theater!

Dun-dun-dun...

NARNIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

edit: i just read over this post, and...wow. can you make any sense of it? definitely not one of my best. :)

There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you

You've got troubles, well I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and we see it through.

Those lyrics to "You've Got a Friend in Me" by Randy Newman have really stood out to me lately. Cause lately...I've gone up and downs with friendships. One minute I'm soaring, laughing and hanging out with one friend, and then the next, a surge of jealousy over another friend hits me, and I'm down in the friendship dumps the rest of the day. I'm a jealous friend. I admit it.

But not yesterday.

I'm sure you've heard me mention one of my bestest, most amazing friends on this blog many times before--Molly. This girl is awesome, let me tell you. We haven't even known each other for a year and yet we're super close, best buddies, partners-in-crime, and all the rest.

It'll be one year in November that we've known each other, I think. Of course, when we first met, we were shy and a little tentative. Who is this girl living next door? Is she as crazy as I am? I wonder if she likes to write, too? Is she a Christian? Will she think it's weird that I'm homeschooled?

Almost a year later, it's all gone.

She's Molly, one of my bffs. She's totally crazy, but we balance each other. She likes to write but her thing is music and running. She's a Christian just like me. Oh yes, and she thinks I'm a freak cause I'm homeschooled. (jk...or not...)

Seriously. Whoever it was who said "Friends are a gift from God" was absolutely right. When I moved here not even a year ago, I know no one. No friends. Who knows who I could've gotten as my next door neighbor? Maybe an annoying nine year old who wouldn't stop pestering me. A family with all boys. A family with tiny kids. A girl I wouldn't get along with at all. Maybe a nice girl, but with no possibility of becoming one of my best friends.

Instead, Molly is my neighbor. She's random. Spontaenous. Funny. A day dreamer. We constantly spout Robin Hood and Youtube quotes to each other ("That KILLS people, Carl!" "Oh, I did not know that!"). We can laugh, make fun of each other, and just be us.
God is why we're next door neighbors. Isn't He amazing?

Yesterday afternoon, we were in the process of making our music video--which, by the way, is pretty darn amazing and will be uploaded after we finish making it--when we got bored. Strike that, we got a snack, then watched iCarly (I secretly love that show) and decided to go to my house to find something exciting to do. We get outside...and it's pouring rain. Like a monsoon, baby.

Molly: On the count of seven!
Me: On the count of ten!
(I think we comprised somewhere in the middle.)

We dash out, screaming, and run across the driveway and my sideyard and up my porch steps. Once inside...

Me: We should do that again.

So back out we go, running into the rain and down the driveway and still screaming. We start dancing (DINOSAUR DANCE!!!!!) and run back up the driveway and run laps around the cars. Ok, now we'll go inside!

Molly: Let's do it again. No shoes!
Me: we'll get muddy! (attention: I love mud. My mom doesn't.)

But we go shoeless anyways. We're getting pretty wet and I can barely see anything (glasses) but hey...why stop?

Me: we're gonna catch pneumonia!!!!
Molly: I don't care!!!!!! Let's rain to my mailbox and up my driveway and around my car and back down my driveway and up your driveway and around your car!!!
Me: .... what?

I could narrarate (gosh I can never spell that word) the rest of it for you, but you get the idea!

Or maybe you don't....

Cause it was amazing. I think just to feel that rain on my face and do something crazy, and spontaenous, with one of my best friends...it's what I needed. We didn't care that we go soaking wet. We didn't care about having to change clothes. We just did it. Screaming, laughing, jumping in puddles, catching raindrops on our tongues, going barefoot in it all, and even sitting down in it. (That was me...and then Molly started splashing me...you are going DOWN for that!!!)

It was pretty darn special. That's all I can say, because we each have times with our friends that are indescribible (gosh, another problem word) and this is one of those times.

We came back inside, dried off and got into pajamas, and made mint brownies. (heavenly they were, too...) And then. It happened.

Molly....

went....

boneless.

*cue horror music*

I'm not sure why she was lying on the kitchen floor in the first place, but then I started dragging her by the hand, and it was a total Shawn and Gus moment. "Don't go boneless on me, Shawn, don't go boneless!" It's even funnier considering that we ARE like Shawn and Gus. (I wanted to be Shawn. I got stuck with Gus. It's kind of sad that we actually are similar.)

You've got your troubles...I've got 'em too.
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you. (mostly)
We stick together and we see it through.

That was my day. My amazing day. My spectacular day. My day with one of my b.f.f.e.a.e.a.e.

buddies.

amigas.

pals.

friends.

sisters.

Love you, girl!

M+C=Disastrous

Okay, so you know the little scrolling blog list of blog buttons that a lot of people have on their blogs? Well, I want it too, but I totally can't figure it out. So if you have any knowledge of this, please share it!!! I need to know!

Random change of subject--yesterday I created a watermark for my photos!
Molly


You like? Do you think I should have the little flower there or not?

And my new "signature"...

While she's away...

My good friend (and next door neighbor) Molly is away at camp this week. *cry* *mourn* *sniffle* I am going to miss her:(. And I know you're saying, "WHAT???!!! Caroline is posting twice in one day???!!!" But I couldn't help myself. I have come, I have seen, and I have conquered! I have...edited my first photo! Yay! I know, that sounds lame, but it's a big accomplishment for me, cause I never edit my photos. Without further ado, in honor of Molly.

We're all mad here

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.

"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."

"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.

"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here." --Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Yeah...Molly and I went a little nuts with the camera yesterday. Seriously--we took 161 photos! And no editing required. All the photos of Molly were taken by me and all the photos of me were taken by Molly. ABSOLUTELY NO STEALING. Here are the best.


(this is me)


(this is Molly)



Yeah, yeah, I know, it's washed out. But I'm sorry. I like it.


















{and this is neither me nor Molly:D}
















"A chicken? Seriously?"












{this is one of my favorites}




















Speaking of Molly--she's hosting a contest at her blog! I know she would love it if you joined, so go check it out!

Adios, my amigos!

Take the time...

...to tell your friends that you love them.

The Hydra scene!!!

Ok, so I just went to percyjackson.org, my source for PJ movie news, and found an interview with Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson), Alexandra Daddario (Annabeth Chase), Brandon T. Jackson (Grover Underwood), and Jake Abel (Luke Castellan). Pretty awesome, right? Especially since the interview was overlooking the Acropolis in Greece! And along with the interview... drumroll, please... they included a scene from the movie, with the Hydra! Now, the Hydra isn't in the first book, but hey, it looks awesome! Go check it out! www.percyjackson.org/cast/cast-interview-atop-the-acropolis-and-hydra-scene/.

On a random note, we have snow!!! Yes, real, actual, several inches of SNOW!!!!!!!! I was out sledding most of the day yesterday with Molly and Caylee, and went again this morning. We live right near a golf course (it's right through the woods in our backyard) so we just go through the woods and have perfect hills to sled on! I crashed a couple of times, sometimes into the snow, sometimes into other people:). No one went to the hospital.:D It's a few hours later now, and I went sledding AGAIN. I am rather sick of it now. it's amazing how there's always people on the hill! A snowfall like this is really rare for this part of the country. Molly and I were just playing a Nancy Drew computer game (the Hardy Boys are in it which makes it more excitingXD) and it takes place in Hawaii!!! I wanted to jump through the computer screen and into the water, cause I've had enough of the snow! The graphics-- from the people to the scenery-- are amazing.

My dad (he's the editor-in-chief of a magazine) and I are editing Enslaved. We have the prologue and part of the first chapter down. We have to send in a pitch, an excerpt (prologue and first two chapters of Enslaved), and the entire finished manuscript to the contest. Should be interesting... actually, I really like editing. It's exciting for me to see someone else's point of view on the story, and how they look at it. Plus all the suggestions/changes he makes, since he's a professional editor, really make sense, and they help to avoid confusion and make the story flow better. Now I know why authors thank their editors so much in the acknowledgments!

Stay warm and please comment!
