Its been over a year since I last wrote a journal. Wow, ok. Well, I'm doing quite well. Excited because Legend of Korra book 2 premier Friday. I have a bit of a shoulder injury, but whatever, it'll heal. 
 I figured I might as well explain the whole story that my friend and I are developing since a lot of my next few submissions will be related to it.
The whole story takes place in a forest... a very diverse forest. Heres a little map.
Map by CyrialBerry(<--Greatest map ever) 


The main character of our story is Poppy, a young headstrong girl from the Flowerbeds, who has recently moved to the biggest kingdom in the Forest; the Redwoods. 
The Redwood Kingdom and the Oak Kingdom are huge rivals and there is bound to be conflict between them. 
Moving on. 
Poppy somehow befriends the prince of the Redwoods, Leif. 
Leif is very socially awkward and has lived a very sheltered life at the top of the biggest Redwood Tree. He's never left the top tier, which is the palace.
Brief summary of each section of the Forest. 
The Boulder: Situated between a fork in the brook, the Boulder is an industrial community in which most of the other kingdoms get their fancy products and such. They have easy shipping along the Brook. 
The Waterlilies: A small kingdom underwater. The waterlily people are really smart and at the forefront of all research and tend to stay out of any conflict between their fellow kingdoms. The Princess is Taide, another main character who is the cousin to Leif and who is in love with Em.
The Willow is a reclusive community that hardly associates with any other place. 
The Weeds is a territory that the Willow and the Oak try to maintain. It is full of nomadic tribes and clans, such as the Thorn Clan (Where Em is from) They have a habit of terrorizing everyone. 
Then theres the Flowerbeds, which is on the outer rim of the forest. This isn't a kingdom, and most of the other kingdoms view the flowerbed people as somewhat inferior. 
And then all throughout the forest are different villages that are allied with different kingdoms.

so now we have the whole geography and backstory of this place somewhat settled. My friend and I are writing and illustrating a series of short stories that revolve around Poppy and Leif and their adventures throughout the Forest. So yeah.. 
Its a tad bit confusing because we are still developing the world and the different characters. 
So if anyone has any suggestions about possible stories, adventures, characters, etc. Just let me know :) I'd appreciate any suggestions.

I started out this morning thinking, "Ugh... why is every school BUT ours closed?"
And as the day went on, I realized I don't want my school to be closed. I like going there, call me crazy, but I do. And as Isaac approaches, I'm starting to get a little anxious.
Of course, I was excited when my mom said we weren't going to evacuate. Honestly, I really hate evacuating to my grandparents' house.
It's been seven years since Katrina hit. And now Isaac is supposed to land in the same few days that Katrina did.
Alot of my friends have evacauted already, but most of us are staying, and are just going t wait out the storm.

Today was an absolutely beautiful day though, uny,  slightly breezy.. one of those days you wish happened every day. Its sort of eerie, isn't it? That beautiful calm day right before a storm? And then how after a storm its so crystal clear outside?
I find it eerie

I'm staying, and I jut got home from the store with supplies.
Alll my artwork is sealed up in a big plastic case, so hopefully no water damage if it gets to that.
My house survived through Katrina,, no problem. We've been lucky.

with all this talk of evacuation, supplies, and what to do. I began to think about what if Isaac is going to be like Katrina? I don't want to evacuate and live in another state for almost a year again. Especially not now. Going to another school in a foreign state was the scariest experience of my life. It terrifies me, being ripped from my home and being landed someplace I don't know. I remember after Katrina, my best friend said she wouldn't be coming back here and that was absolutely heartbreaking. Now I'm just scaring myself.


Hey maybe if we do end up leaving I can go to tampa or arkansas to visit my friends! ... maybe.

I pray that Isaac won't hit us that hard and I pray that everone will be safe.

I'm prepared for this storm; I've got my flashlights, my mini fan, lots of water and food.

So Isaac... Come at me, bro.

Have you ever had a song stuck in your head for the longest time? And it just won't leave?
Because I've had Cupid by Daniel Powter stuck in my head. It got stuck after one listen on the radio.
but hey its such a catchy song!
So I'm studying for my french oral exam, yayy! Speaking french!
Exams this week and I'm actually not worried or stressed at all for them. I was really stressed for my ap exams, but hey. Those were last week :) So now it's just normal exams which shouldn't be too bad.
So I really don't know why I'm writing this..
There's really not much too interesting going on in my life.. Uhm
Well on Friday I had an awkward staredown with some guy in the movie theater.
then we saw Avengers! such a good movie, haha. then DC block in the morning! Yeah! young Justice! I'm not going to rant about what happened just in case someone reads this who watches it but hasn't watched this past weeks episode doesn't want it spoiled.
Then I had a singing concert saturday evening. So I got to the place at 4 for the rehearsel and warmups, and then the concert just went on forever because the other groups had to go and the director put us last.

then I had to help with the clean up and taking down the risers. And then we went out for doughnuts! Only wethought the store part was open, so we got out of the car, but it was closed and neither of us wanted to get back in the car for the drive through since it was open so we just walked through the drive through.
And on Sunday, I did beaucoup rosetta.
AND I FINISHED ROSETTA FOR THEYEAR! YAY! Only now we have the summer rosetta work to do.. yay ...
And that has been my life. Uneventful!

The most soothing sountrack ever to fall asleep to (in my personal opinion) is definetly Titanic (1997)'s sountrack :)
I've been Titanic (the shipwreck, not the movie...well the movie maybe a tad bit) obsessed since I was really little so I spent most of the weekend doing Rosetta and watching Titanic Documentaries (due to the fact that it is the 100th anniversary so they were alll over tv).
Anyways, I was looking through al thse photos from France last year, and some were actually pretty good. I went to France last year twice, one for an exchange trip in Paris during Mardi Gras, the other to go to school in Nice over the summer. Absolutely fantastic over there.
:iconxloup-garou: GOT ME A WALLY WEST KID FLASH ACTION FIGURE!! YAY! Except I can see through his stomach, which is quite odd... But he came with a Fast Food Bag (haha get it? fast food XD) annnd his KF i.d and a poster :) Young Justice woohoo!
So I should be doing homework right now since my school decided to be mean and take away our free periods tomorow to do some stupid assembly, so yeah. I'm going to go do that.
