Scrambled Eggs for Spinj

Hewwo! :3

...

Okay, well, that was random, though I do say so myself. I had no idea on a title for my post, so... meh :P Anyway, how are you guys? Feeling well?

 Thing's have been... interesting, to say the least, around here! In a good way, of course! :P

 I had an audition today for the next Gilbert and Sullivan production, which is "Trial by Jury". I got a few compliments from the channel, which I thought was neat, and I didn't mess up the song like I thought I was going to.
 I also found out that there is another show of Pirates of Penzance which will be showing sometime in November-December this year, and I found the auditions for it! So I'll be auditioning for that as well... maybe I'll be lucky enough to get offered a principle role!



 The Winter Holidays have been pretty fun so far, and It's a pity that there's only one more week of them left! They've been pretty eventful though. I went to a pottery wheel class and made some bowls, which I'll be picking up in a few weeks time after they've been fired. We also did some painting at the Art Gallery, went ice skating (the ice skating was epic, because we got to go on TV!) and plus I've been catching up with friends. Also got rained on a lot (because I stupidly left any water proof clothing at home) and joined in with a Free Rights Marriage Equality rally. And I got rained on a lot at that too.


 I introduced one of my friends to the Skulduggery Pleasant series, and she's now decided that we should make a fan movie. xD The original plan was to make a movie about how Skul's wife and child were murdered and how Skul turned into a skeleton, but now we're wondering whether or not to do something with Darquesse in it or something from the earlier books. Main problem would be doing special effects and all that... but we're working on it. :3

 Also, I found out that Derek Landy is (again) writing a script for a Skulduggery Pleasant movie! An actual movie! I'm really excited about this! I reckon it'll be awesome... :3 I'll definitely be at the cinema to watch it when it comes out!



 Speaking of Scrambled eggs, I think it's my turn to make my dinner - omelette!

 Will see you all next time!

Little Bit Of Me Has Died Again...

Just finished reading "The Dying of The Light" yesterday. ;~; I literally sat staring at the book for five minutes after finishing it; I think I was in a bit of shock. xD

 It must showed on my face as well, because I was doing the dishes, and my Dad said to me that I had a look on my face like I was expecting to have the dishes jump up and attack me.

 I think a little bit of me has died after finishing off the series... now, I just need to wait for Demon Road to come out.

Skulduggery Pleasant

Oh. My. Ninja.

 Have I really been away for a month?! One entire month?!

 Yeah, I have.

 *Waves*

 Hii, so, like, I'm back! :D sorry about deserting you all, I've been busy with stuff. :( School was finishing off and I had to do extra martial arts lesson to catch up for the ones I missed during Pirates (actually, I'm still catching up. :|) and then there's been ice skating and more... yeah, I've been busy.
 Plus at the moment it's Camp Nanowrimo. :3 If you want to check out my progress every now and then, check out my profile: Spinjisumaster | Camp Nanowrimo

 Anyway, today, I'd like to write a post about one of my favourite things: Books. And it's about one of my favourite book series: Skulduggery Pleasant. c:


 So the Skulduggery Pleasant series is written by Derek Landy, an Irish writer who lives somewhere in Ireland - Dublin, I'm assuming. He's a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (ahh, OMG, he's a fan of something that I'm a fan of @_@ I suppose Insane Great minds think alike, eh?), Doctor Who and probably some other things. :P He's introduction on Blogger says he wrote the Skulduggery Pleasant series because getting a proper job is so overrated (WISE WORDS HUH?!). You can stalk him at his blog: Derek Landy Blogs Under Duress

 The Skulduggery Pleasant series is about Stephanie Edgley/Valykrie Cain and Skulduggery Pleasant - who is a Detective, Magician, Warrior. Oh yes, and dead. I'm not going to write much more about what happens in it in case you have not read the books (and if you haven't read the series, GET OFF THE COMPUTER, NOW, AND BORROW THEM FROM YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT), but yeah...

 So...

 Favourite Good Guy(s): Skulduggery Pleasant, Valkyrie Cain
 Favourite Bad Guy(s): Darquesse, Vaurien Scapegrace
 Favourite Side Character(s): Clarabelle, Dexter Vex

So I've been rereading the series again, and every time I notice something new. It's like opening a many layered present that keeps rewrapping itself. The characters are really good, and after the first few chapters you already feel as if you know them, which is always something I love. Plus the humour in them <3 I am literally laughing every third chapter. :3
 The series is also making me rethink my entire life. Like, maybe I missed something somewhere, which is why I am not part of a Sanctuary yet? Or maybe my Mum is a Sensitive or something. Actually, that could make sense. Maybe that's how she finds my missing clothes and can tell when I'm lying. And it could explain all the ghosts I've seen and interacted with. Ok, I'm fairly sure I missed something a few years ago...

 Anyway, I have been brainwashed or possessed or obsessed or whatever the word is by the series, and my friends I are planning to make a Skulduggery Pleasant Cosplay group. :3 So far there's three of us in the group, and one of my friends wants to be China Sorrows, and I'm going to be Valkyrie Cain. I don't know who my other friend is going to be. He'd better not pick Fletcher Renn. That could end up with some awkward situations.
 Yeah, so, I've been looking up some people who have Cosplayed characters from the SP series, and I've came across some really good ones, but these two people are my favourites:

 A girl who has done an awesome cosplay of Skulduggery Pleasant! I take off my hat to you, it's a brilliant Cosplay.

 Above and Below is a girl Cosplaying as Valkyrie Cain. I HAVE NO WORDS FOR THIS. IT IS BEYOND AMAZING. It's definitely the best I've seen out of the various Valkyries I've seen...

 And yeah. I went to the Op-shop today and bought some black jeans and a silver top. They're the start of my Valkyrie Cosplay outfit, and I'm feeling really pleased, it only cost me $12. Next I need to get some knee high boots and a leather jacket, and then I'll be hunting around for a black ring. :3 I'm really excited!!! Now all I need to do is to convince my brother to cosplay as Skul...

 Also coming across some pictures and fan art. :3 Here's some of my favourites:




 This one is especially awesome. I just love it so much!

 Not a word Bespoke, not a word...

The feelings in this one... ;~; *runs off crying*

 Anyway, I got to go, I'm catching up with some friends tomorrow, so I need to have a good sleep.

 Be good, don't go ending the world without me, and I'll catch you all later

EEEK! It's been too long.

Hey everyone!

EEK! It's been three months, maybe even longer, since I last posted on here! Bad Spinj, very bad Spinj... =P

 Well, I have been very busy reading, talking listening to music and being my usual, busy self. =P I've recently started reading the Skulduggery Pleasant books by Derek Landy. They are a great series, and some of those quotes are sensational! I recommend the series to everyone, young or old.

 I've also been listening to way too much One Direction. =P My new favorite of their's is "Just Can't Let Her Go". It's so... awesome. :3

 So I've been busy with things like life =P. Circus is slowly fading away, and going into the background of my life, mainly because of problems with the teacher. :\ It's sad, because I love Circus and I've just started learning the double foot lock on the silks.

 I've been trying out different ways of expressing myself, and for the past few days it's been torn jeans, tank tops and gothic makeup. I feel a bit odd dressing like that. And the rockabilly way of dressing is just too... samey. I have a very nice old fashioned top which I wear with some nice jeans and high heels, and I feel very comfortable. Only problem is that I don't have much of that kind of stuff.

 I've also had fun looking at Memes. Here are my favourites:


Yesh, I'm double jointed and I also have hyperactive elbows. =P

 Ah, good old Skulduggery.

 So true. =P it's such a good, funny and exciting series.

And yes, I like this one a lot. xD

 I've been experimenting myself with making Memes. I'm not good as I am hoping to be, but hey, you gotta start somewhere, don't you? So here are the ones I made:





I made this one a few weeks ago for The Fold. I found one of their pictures and added the "Keep Calm" bit to it!

It's amazing how much TV shows can inspire me. Well, I was listening to "Shooting Star" by Owl City while surfing around for pictures of Lloyd when the line "So when the lights flicker out tonight you've got to shine" and I minute later I saw this picture. Well, I decided to make that Meme!


Well, I was looking for more pictures of Lloyd when I came across this one. I gave it one look and thought "Lloyd looks like he's playing a game where he's the king." So that's how that one was made!
I made this one yesterday, after I had drawn a picture of my made up ninja Lucy (see the bottom right picture). While drawing Lucy it had occurred to me that some of my favourite characters from books, movies and my imagination are different, and it hurts them each in different ways (if that makes sense). So I quickly made this one as a spur of the moment thing.

 So that is some of what has been going on. I should finish my post for the Blog of Poems, but I'm way too tired to do so. *yawns* Well, I must go to have dinner. Then I'll write the next chapter of Rise of the Nerds before I go to sleep...

 Well, I'll see you all later!

 Rock on!!
