The One Where I Take Fangirling To The Extreme

Most of you who know me and/or have been following this blog for a while know that I'm a Lunartic. No, not Lunatic, Lunartic. For those of you who don't know, there's a bigger difference in those two words than the added "r", so I'll explain. A "lunatic" is a mentally unstable person. A "Lunartic" is the name of the fans of the NYT bestseller series The Lunar Chronicles who just so happen to be slightly mentally unstable.

Note: These definitions are not the Webster Dictionary versions. Lunartic isn't in the dictionary (obviously) and I couldn't use one accurate definition and one inaccurate definition. My brain doesn't let me do things like that. It likes uniformity.

Now that that's taken care of, LET THE FANGIRLING BEGIN!!!

I FINALLY GOT MY COPY OF CRESS YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The following is an almost verbatim transcript of the words/sounds that came out of me when I received my copy.

*A very exited/aggravated girl tries to open the box that Barnes and Noble practically glued shut (I think they do that on purpose to drive fangirls like me totally nuts!)*

Me: GRRR!!! Open you stupid box!

Mom: Get some scissors.

Me: NO! I don't want to accidentally scratch the book jacket!

*The glue finally gives way. From there I practically ripped the box open.*

Me: Oh, it's so pretty!!! It's here, it's here! It's finally here!!! 

*Mom leaves the room knowing what will happen next*

Me: ASDFGHJKL!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE I FINALLY GET THE READ IT AFTER WAITING FOR ALMOST A YEAR FOR THIS BOOK!!!! I KNOW I READ THE FIRST FIVE CHAPTERS ON MY KINDLE, BUT I'M GOING TO READ THEM AGAIN ANYWAY BECAUSE THIS IS THE REAL, TANGIBLE, BRAND-NEW BOOK!!! 

Transcript over

  

Then, after all the fangirling, I only got to read like three chapters because people wouldn't leave me alone. -_-

And I have this ominous feeling that something horrible happens to Thorne. I mean, I've read the Grimm's Fairy Tale version of Rapunzel and it's awful! I just hope I don't have to do one of those "I cried when Thorne died" posts by time this book is over. AND CAIT WON'T TELL ME ANYTHING!!!!!! Cait, if you're reading this, you're the cruelest Australian friend ever. Not really. You're awesome and no where near cruel, but, as you can see, this ominous feeling has me saying things I don't really mean ;P

The worst part of reading this book now is that I have to wait another year for the last book!!! 

I'm going to go now, but I'll probably have a post in the form of a fangirly review up within the next week!:)

VALE!!

"Updates" On My Crazy and Uninteresting Life

Hey guys! So, I'm writing this from my bed. I have to sit up and type, so my legs are covered by the bedspread, but I have a nice, warm fuzzy blanket wrapped around my body so my arms don't get cold. That's how cold it is in my house. We have our power and everything. The problem is, my dad and brother burn up at night, so mom and I have to suffer and freeze.


I have been super busy lately. I've been babysitting my honorary baby brother some, and he and his mommy have been over a lot. I'm that introverted type that feels like she either has to lock herself in her room when there's company, or she has to stay in the same room as them the whole time and entertain. If they're friends, I entertain. And my baby brother's mommy is definitely a friend. I like to write these posts from the comfort of my bed, so I haven't really been able to. After spending some time writing and working out after she (and/or the baby) leaves, it's time for bed. But I finally found time!! So, this will just be a short update!:)


The weather here has been extremely aggravating, annoying, icky, and all other word equivalent. We got a ton of ice Sunday evening and through the night. Some of it melted on Monday, but it refroze Monday night. Then we got more on Tuesday. It's getting on my nerves! We have plans for the 14th-25th so it seriously needs to quit.


That last sentence leads me to something extremely exciting! I'M GOING TO PROM IN APRIL!!!!! It's my best friend's senior year and she really, really, wanted me to be able to go. For those of you who may not know, I'm homeschooled which means that a guy has to ask me to prom for me to be able to go. Well, my best friend talked to her guy friend and he said he would take me!! I've met him and everything and he's really nice. He's the shy guy type, so my best friend said, and I quote, "I mean, I don't think he'll be forever alone, but there's no one at school worth asking, and he's way too shy to ask anyone anyway, so this would be perfect! He gets a "date" and you get to go to prom!" I put quotes around date because it's not a real date. I'm too weirded out by that term. The plans we have for the 14th-25th consist of our annual Valentine's trip to Lambert's and going to Paducha so my grandma can go dress shopping with us. The only dress shopping I ever do is going to buy my "Easter dress" and that seriously stresses me out! So, I'm a bit worried about this. But I'm staying positive! And my aunt can do any alterations!:)


Next up, ANTHEM LIGHTS RELEASED THEIR NEW ALBUM!!!!!! It is amazing!!!!!! For those who don't know, Anthem Lights is a Christian band, but they sing other songs too, they're just totally clean!! I am in love with their new album!!! I'm listening to it as I type!


I saw the Croods! I loved it! It was hilarious! Guy is my favorite character! Belt is adorable, too!!


CRESS SHIPPED!!!!!! Cress is the newest book in the Lunar Chronicles! It just came out yesterday! I preordered it back in October! The wait has been killing me!! I will be trekking it out all the way to the driveway in the ice and cold to check the mailbox everyday until it comes!!!!!


I think I'm done fangirling, girl-talking, and "updating" now ahaha!:)


Vale!
