Update

Hello, people! I don't really have much to say, I just wanted to let you all know that I am alive and well and it's deep into summertime and I really should post more. I want to post book and movie reviews and more photos, whether they're actual photos or scanned pictures of my drawings.
I need you all to tell me two things, please. 1) What are you looking forward to most this summer? Barbecues, the Olympics, swimming, the 100ยบ heat? 2) I just checked my Audience stats for this blog, and I get kind of a lot of viewers from out of the US, considering I don't know hardly anyone outside of the US and they must just be stumbling upon this at random. If you are a viewer from a country outside of America, please comment!

Bye, thanks for reading! I will leave you with a quote from Titanic, because I just saw it in 3D on Tuesday.

"Look at that thing! You would've gone straight to the bottom." ~ Jack, talking about Rose's engagement ring, saying that she would have sunk had she jumped earlier like she wanted to

New address!

It might have just been me criticizing myself, but I didn't like "teampatrickstar" as my blog address. So I changed it to jilliansbloggy, which is still kind of immature but more ME than the old one. I wish that "teampatrickstar" would redirect to my new blog, but it doesn't, so I'm trying to get the word out. I posted on Google+ about it to my circles, but I think I'll take that down and just email the few people I want to know about it. Going to go do that now. Oh, and happy summer! Mine just started yesterday, today's the first full day.

I feel like a horrible person.

I have been neglecting my blog, and I love writing, so I feel like a horrible person and a bad writer and ARGH spring break is so close but so far...


So, to console myself, I'm doing a special post. You know how I tried to write Ten Things That Make Me Happy Today once a week, every Friday, as a kind of gratitude-feel-good thing? It got to be stressful, worrying that I kept forgetting and that I was letting you guys down (Even though not many people read this blog anyway). Well, this is a sort of special edition of that: Ten Things About the California Trip That Made Me Happy and Very Sad to Leave.

  • Seeing my uncle, aunt, cousins and dog-cousin
  • Trader Joe's
  • Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles
  • The beach
  • Sleeping in a bunk bed
  • Disneyland
  • Hotels
  • Having so much time to just read, draw, swim, and watch TV
  • Grand Canyon
  • The memories ♥
Happy Leap Day! Enjoy it, because it only happens every four years. :)

No gratitude thing this week...

... because we had two ♫~AMAZING~♫ performances of our dinner theatre on Thursday and Friday evenings. We find out our musical on Monday after we're completely done striking. I'M SO EXCITED! :-)

Happy Saturday!

Ten Things That Make Me Happy Today: Monday Edition!!

So I keep forgetting/putting it off/being lazy and not posting TTTMMHT (don't you just love acronyms that don't help at all to remember anything?) for the past several Fridays. I feel like a horrible, evil, forgetful person, so I'm doing it now.

  • Fresh notebooks
  • My graphing calculator (I am such a nerd :3)
  • The pens I got for Christmas that are colorful on the outside, but hold bold black ink on the inside
  • My wonderful friends on deviantART who always tell me that my writing is great, even if I don't think it is--even if I KNOW it isn't =)
  • Homemade cake balls
  • Squishy stuffing from a box, with soft, sweet cranberries
  • The smell of my mom's vanilla-flavored instant coffee
  • Dr. Horrible's amazing soundtrack
  • Dr. Horrible's hilarious commentary soundtrack
  • My geometry teacher creating a daily list of assignments
Happy Monday!

I literally JUST realized this.

I forgot to do my "ten things that dotdotdot" last Friday. There just won't be another one this week, I guess.

I wouldn'tve been very happy that day anyways. I've been sick for over a week. =_="

Sorry, you guys. Happy Monday? :)

Empty Promises

Am I always promising you guys that I'll do stuff, like post about our trip last summer, and then not doing it?

...

Yes.

Well, THAT is going to CHANGE. I shall START to post as FREQUENTLY as POSSIBLE. Though only if something interesting ARISES. (The capital words are for EMPHASIS.)

There's not really anything interesting happening right now... ^^; It's raining outside. I've got a lot of homework to do. My sketchbook is full of unposted artwork. And I have theatre rehearsal tomorrow until 6:30. I love theatre, but that cuts into my eating time, a.k.a. dinner.

I hope you guys are having a bit more of a fun evening than I am. Au revoir!

No TTTMMHT this week.

(TTTMMHT is Ten Things That Make Me Happy Today.)

I can't this week because of... stuff. That I'd rather not say. The people who should know do know.

Have a good weekend, everybody!

Day 1: Ten Things That Make Me Happy Today

  • Fridays
  • A good song (or album)
  • My favorite cereal
  • The sound of duct tape ripping
  • Being halfway through a good book
  • My stuffed llama
  • Sharing my art with others, despite its quality
  • My friends
  • A blank piece of paper
  • Wearing red
I'm going to do this every Friday that I can. If I forget, it'll get done over the weekends. I'll write the top ten things that are making me happy at that moment, that come to my mind then.

Happy Friday, guys!

Tangled again

You all probably know that I adore Tangled to pieces. It's my favorite movie of all time.

(Speaking of, I haven't seen it in a few months. I should watch it again.)

Anyway, today I was browsing deviantART and I found the most amazing fanart piece. I've seen it on there before, and I decided to comment. Then I looked again, and I decided that it was the best Tangled fanart piece I've ever seen. Here's what I said:

I've loved Tangled ever since I saw it over a year ago. Even though I'm a major tomboy and kind of shy, I'm still the kind of girl who, if I ever date/get married, I want a guy who will chase after me, who would be as noble and daredevilish as Flynn--oh, well, Eugene, I mean. I'm also quite Rapunzel-esque, so I had a real connection and adoration for this movie. There are a lot of fanarts on here that are either exactly accurate to the point of perfection, which are awesome. There are also a lot of fanarts on here that are completely interpreted to the point of originality, which are also awesome. But my favorites are the ones like these: the ones that I recognize in a second, but that don't look exactly like the characters.
