Mind Palace? Pssshhh! I Have a Mind Library, Peasant!

Hello, and welcome back to Lordofthetrekkies!

Today I will be telling you a little about what goes on behind the scenes of my gorgeous face. Introducing-

 

Yep. While other people have Mind Palaces, Attics, or whatever else is you weirdos are calling it, I have a library.

Not like an organized, regularly dusted, public library. More like that room in your great-grandma’s house that no one wants anything to do with so that keep it locked, never bother re-shelving anything, and only dust it once every ten years or so.

Lets imagine a huge room, so big you can’t see the ceiling or far walls, with rows and rows of shelves. And each shelf is full to bursting with various books, scrolls, binders, files, scraps of random paper, and anything else that can be used to store information (except electronics, nothing high-tech in here). Got a clear picture? Okay. Now, add countless stacks of even more of the afor mentioned materials strewn all over the floor and other furniture (such as tables, armchairs, coffee machines, snack bars, and the occasional canopy bed). Everything is coated in dust and nothing is where it’s supposed to be. Also, there might be quite a few “people” in there. I’m not really sure what all there is up here…

As you have probably guessed, I’m very forgetful and absent-minded. It takes a while to remember anything, and I’m easily distracted.

Well, that’s that! I hope y’all enjoyed reading about the inside of my head.

Love,

Just me griping and whining. Nothing important.

Hey guys! So far I am failing at everything this year (yar? Please cooperate, brain). I haven’t been working on The Oldest Waterpark EVER!!!, I haven’t been keeping up with school, blogging, or anything else. All I want to do is be a potato, sitting on the floor, eating salty foods, and watching AmazingPhil on Youtube. All. Day. Long. And I did just that on Wednesday.

I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned this, but I had to go on a very strict diet. Like, for most meals all I eat is an avocado. It’s awful. I’ve been doing this for almost two weeks and I am constantly hungry. Now, the reason for this diet is that I kept over-eating. I ate so much that I made myself sick. Of course, it didn’t help that I was eating crap foods. Pizza, soda, just all kinds of fatty, greasy foods. And I couldn’t fit my skinny jeans anymore. That was the main reason I stopped eating. I didn’t want to get chubby. I feel like I’ve lost weight, but I’m too embarrassed to try the jeans on again. I only have one pair that fit now, and my mom doesn’t like me to wear them in public.

Well, that’s all.

My Sweet, Innocent Sisters…..

Hello, all! I have been meaning to do this post for a while now.

Today I am going to tell y’all a “story” about my little sisters- Xander, Pumpkin, and Diva. We all share a room, so there’s not many secrets between us.

Some time ago, my sibs got addicted to Slither.io. You know, that game with the weird snakes sliding around killing each other. Anyway, one night they were up late (again) playing their various games. For some strange reason, when they play video games they will talk, constantly. Here is a list of some of the more appropriate things they said-

Diva(age 7)- (In a deep, menacing voice) “Chad.”
Diva- (In a sweet singsong voice) “I killed two people in a row!”
Diva- (Panicked gibberish) “Noodndooo! Get away from me!”
Pumpkin(age 11)- “Alright Morocco, you’re next.”
Pumpkpin- “I killed Morgana.”
Diva- “You just made me die!”
Diva- “Stop, I will beat you up.”
Xander(age 13)- “You just caused me to die!”
Pumpkin(freakin’ is her favorite word)- (Over and over) “Give me the freakin’ tablet.”
Diva- “(Some gamer’s name) Hello! I’m gonna kill you today.”
Xander- “There are some beautiful men on here.”

I am now very concerned with their mental health, and my personal safety. Some days later I tried the game. It’s fun, but not worth the heart attacks Diva has over it. I’d much rather play Pokemon Platinum/Diamond or Minecraft.

I’m glad I finally got around to embarrassing the crap out of my sisters doing this post. It was a lot of fun. 

Update for Everythin

OK, first off- I am working on my first Dream Journal post and have three debates in the works-

Morgana is a Ravenclaw

Merlin is a Slytherin

&

Professor Remus Lupin is a Wolf-Man, Not a Werewolf

So, as you can see, I’m very busy. Now, about Meme Monday- I am taking a short break from it. BECAUSE, I’m running out of memes. It takes a long time to sift through the millions of memes on Pinterest and etc. I’ll keep looking, but in the meantime it’ll be on hiatus.

(You like that? It’s a new post breaker I made. Granted, I’m not very good at designing these things. But I really like this one)

On to writing! Today I wrote 543 words (ish) and the total is 5,131. That’s half way through! I’m so proud of myself for sticking to it.

I might have to up the goal, there’s still so much left to the story and I’m only a fifth of the way through what I want to put into this book. Today’s excerpt-

“Sam!” Ann’s voice interrupted her thoughts.

“Hmm, yeah?” Calypso and Ann were staring at her. “What?”
“We’ve been trying to get your attention.” Ann cocked her head to one side. “Were you asleep.”
Out of the corner of her eye, Sam saw Jumper smile down at his plate.
“No, I was thinking.”
“Thinking?” Ann looked surprised. “What were you thinking about?”
“I dunno, home.” She shrugged. “I guess.”
Jumper coughed. “I think it’s about time the girls went back to the park, don’t you dearest?”
“Oh, yes! We shouldn’t be keeping you from all that fun.” Calypso grinned. “You will dine with me tonight, right?” Sam nodded.

I still feel the urge to go back and edit, but I can’t! OHHH! So frustrating! Anyway, no one, not even my parents or Xander, have read the whole thing. Y’all are lucky I’m doing these excerpts! .)

READING TIME!!!

I have been doing a reread of the Artemis Fowl and Alex Rider series, as well as working on several Agatha Christie books and others. Xander, Mamma Charming, and I are group reading Go Set a Watchman like we did To Kill a Mockingbird. I am only on the third chapter, but I already dislike it. TKAM was much better.

I am steadily working through me enormous TBR pile. Earlier this week I got an email saying that I won a giveaway connected to The Silmarillion Awards, I can’t remember which blog this one was hosted on. But I WON!! I never win anything!

I got an ebook of Songweaver’s Vow by Laura VanArendonk Baugh, a signed paperback copy of Elle Burton and the Reflective Portals by Peggy M. McAloon along with an Elle Burton bookmark. The paperback came in today, and I screamed like a little girl. Hopefully I can get some pictures up.

Last week I worked my butt of and my parents payed me by ordering 5-6 books from ThriftBooks. They haven’t come in yet, I’m hoping they will come tomorrow.

Also last week, I bought 14 books from the thrift store. I guess you could say that July is a really good book month for me.

As some of you might know, Lordofthetrekkies turned two not long ago. So, to celebrate, I am hosting another Q/A post. Questions can be asked here. GTG, see y’all soon!

Possible Future posts

Hey peoples! Sorry for the past week, I kinda fell of the face of the earth for a while 😉

I’ve been thinking about some post ideas for Lordofthetrekkies, and I think I’ve got a few good ones-

1. Character Reviews Instead of doing full on book reviews I will be reviewing characters.
2. Completely one-sided debates concerning things in various fandoms and such I’ve already started on one that I’m very excited about-

Professor Remus Lupin is a Wolf-Man, Not a Werewolf

and I have quite a few good arguments on this point. I also have another one (its not really a debate, more like a funny haha post) about how I am the Female Sherlock. But anyway, I love to argue. Unfortunately no one in my family feels the same 😦 So I will be boring you guys with my “debates”. Oh, I have finally figured out whats wrong with me! Its called-
I-am-far-away-from-my-peoples-(who have all congregated at Tumblr [where I am not allowed until I’m 18 and out of my parent’s house])-and-I don’t-have-anyone-to-fangirl-with-itis

Yes, its a real thing. It is more commonly known as loneliness. (This is all relevent to the posts mentioned above)

Another idea for a post is-

A monthly Q&A

If I decide to do this I will make a page solely for asking me questions.

WAIT WAIT WAIT! Before I forget- I have a new Goodreads group called Teen Writers that is for peoples under the age of 20 who love to write! (You can join even if your 20+, I’m not picky)

Ehhhh. I can’t think of anything else to talk about. Plus its 10:34 here. It would be nice ti fall asleep before midnight.

OMMAHGOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I just had another idea for a post series!

A DREAM JOURNAL SERIES!!!!!!!

Whenever I have a really good/funny/scary dream I’ll share it here! I am a genius! ,)

Well, goodnight. What do you think of my little ideas?

ITS UP!!!

Its here! I called it LordoftheForums and its up and running! HAVE FUN!!!

A New Idea?

I’m very hesitant to ask, cause it might not be a good idea. But, do any of you like the thought of me making a page here on Lordofthetrekkies that is kinda like a forum? Where y’all can talk in the comments and ask questions, discuss books and movies, and maybe just hang out? I need your opinions cause this would be for you, my followers. Please tell me what you think about this idea! .)

A Trip Down Memory Lane

The other day I was going through some old papers trying to find something, I can’t remember what, when I came across my old birthday wish-list. I found four pages of it (there was originally like six). Now I will share my discovery. And I will be keeping the original spelling ,) .

15. Dish washer (I’m the one who has to do the dishes here. It’s pretty horrendous sometimes. Plus the sink is so short that I have to bend over to wash stuff.)

And there it is. My crazy younger self asking for the impossible. Maybe I’ll do a post on my current wish-list?

“I’m fine, thank you.”

Some of you may have noticed that I don’t respond to most comments here. And if I do, its mostly along the line of “Thank you!” I might add a .) or a 🙂 , but that’s it! The reason behind this is that I never know how to respond. Seriously. You’re probably thinking “But why not pretend you’re talking to someone face to face?” In public the #1 thing I say is “I’m fine, thank you.” No lie.

Examples-

Random person (probably my youth pastor)- “Hey Alex, how are you doing?”

Me- “I’m fine, thank you.”

Another random person (probably my crushes cousin)- “Hey Alex, wanna come sit with us?”

Me- “I’m fine, thank you.”

Yet another random person (maybe my crush or his best friend)- “Alex! Come play with us!”

Me- “I’m fine, thank you.”

It varies, of course-

Random mother (Ugh, there are two that try to talk to me every. Single. Wednesday. I would like to enjoy my solitude alone please!)- “Hello darling, how’s your mom doing?”

Me- “Shes fine, thank you.”

Youth pastor or another random mother- “How are all the kids doing?”

Me- “They’re fine, thank you.” (I’m probably thinking something like “Why must they all ask like their mine?!”)

I have actually used this phrase when asked other things-

“Hey, did you see that new [insert whatever new movie is out]?”

Me- “I’m fine, thank you.”

So, it seems that I have become Spongebob (I couldn’t find a “Hi, how are ya?” gif!).

The moral of this story? Don’t be offended if I don’t respond to your comment, I’m just really bad at communication.

 

 

 

Xander got a haircut

Yup. My Watson cut her hair. Wanna see?

Wait To Finish- A Story Everyone Seems to Find Funny

Tags

Sherlock, Supernatural, tom hiddleston

Hi peoples! So, early this morning (around 8-ish) I’m sitting on my bed getting my computer, chargers, and several books ready for the day, when I had the sudden idea to start a list of books I started but had to wait til sometime in the future to complete. What do I call it? Then it hit me, why not make it like DNF (Do Not Finish)? So I start brainstorming. Another idea comes-

Wait To Finish

It took me a minute. But when I finally realized-

Yep. That wasn’t going to happen! I went to share my stupidity with my family.

^Mom’s reaction^

^Dad’s reaction^

^Xander’s reaction^

So yeah. I’m an idiot, and my family thinks I’m some hilarious genius. *Sigh* My dad thought this would make y’all laugh. *Worlds biggest eye-roll*

Rate this:

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to read much lately, which means no reviews. At least for a while. I’m halfway through Heartless and I started The 5th Wave on Wednesday, and I’m planning on doing reviews on both of them.

But on the upside I’ve gotten a lot of other things accomplished! I somehow managed to write 800+ words the other day, I’ve done some background work on some characters, and I’m working on making a language! Of course, I’ve gotten a lot of school done, but that’s not important. Pumpkin (age 11) has moved in with me and Watson. Oh, and it might be a while before I can make another song post. Things are getting pretty crazy around here. Xander (aka Watson) is taking over her clogging group.

(This post looks horrible! I promise I’m not on anything!)

That One Particular Blade of Grass

That one particular blade of grass, topbogimfl

I have been a Blade for weeks now. We even have a wiki. I don’t know how many people are in this fandom, or even if its still popular. I. Don’t. Care. This is seriously the coolest thing I have ever seen. There’s fanart and fanfiction for topbogimfl. Its really inspiring. Like, this started out as a joke, but it turned into this THING that people liked and were/are a part of. so, I’m a loyal Blade.
