International BFF's

So remember yesterday... I told you we're going to do something wacky for the ONE HUNDRED DAYS mark, this Saturday?  Well, I've decided what's going to happen and...I'm not going to tell you.  I know, I'm incredibly evil. I don't have a ton of time, but I will say that I'm going to try to post RVing America photos tomorrow (no guarantees) and that I have R.M.S. Part(s) for you.  Gotta run now, so read on!

Please note... It is literally FOUR DAYS TILL WE REACH THE ONE HUNDRED DAY MARK!!!  I'm so excited!!! (can you tell) But seriously, I feel like we should do something to celebrate, don't you?  I dunno, but I'll think of something (I always do...evil laugh) Anyway, focusing more now on the present instead of the future (however close it might be) and you know what that means!  Well, you do if you actually read the blog posts that I write, which is unlikely, but you know, maybe I have real blog followers.  *gasp*  Am I just weird enough to be liked?  *ahem*  Stay on subject, Noelle.  Ok. At any rate, I promised  that I would post R.M.S. parts today, so I'm going to.  Remember, I'm running a poll - what do you think that I should name R.M.S. (because I'm not just going to go around and keep calling it Random Marvel-based Story, that's weird).  Also, I'm going to start posting it a lot more often, because as some of you know, I'm g...

Don't let the complicated title scare you! This is still a fairly normal  wacked-out send-this-blogger-to-a-mental-hospital post.  Actually, this post could probably pass for normal!  *collective gasp*  That's right!  Today is Monday, and you know that means Monday Morning Fashion Roundup!  :)  Today I'm finishing up the Autumn fashion photos, because we are "officially" in fall right now and we need to dress like it, don't you think? So Fall 2015 Fashion is all about layering and duller colors - shabby rolled-out-of-bed-(only-not-really) look.  Click the link below to see what I mean and turn your back-to-school closet from drab to drab-and-fab!

And I'll deliver! Here comes the R.M.S. story parts I promised to give yesterday.  Now in the previous post I said that I would give at least two, and I'm going to stick to my word, of course.  Also, adding onto that, I've got a few extra parts backed up by now, so let's say one or two more on Tuesday (remember that Mondays are Fashion Roundup days). Enjoy! Actually, hold up, I'm not done talking yet.  Just wanted to add - although I'm pretty much stuck with R.M.S., does anybody have any ideas for an actual name for this story?  I feel kind of silly, saying this this late in the goings (I mean seriously, we're in the late forties here) but I feel even sillier every time I write "Random Marvel-based Story".  Well, comment with your opinions, and click the link below to read the story parts, as promised!

So I went on vacation today, Believe it or not, and yep, you'll be getting RVing America photos soon enough. Also, more big new - I got a new computer!  Actually not really cool, because in reality it's because our other ancient one crashed.  :(  To whom it may concern, I lost ALL my Moosey filming data.  I'm really, really, sorry but we couldn't save it.  :(!!! Anyway, I have a new computer and I didn't loose all my movie data - just the stuff that wasn't backed up on iCloud.  At any rate, it's all cool now, and I have some stuff to show you!  Specifically, some more random Pinterest nonsense.  I know, I know, but I'm going to be busy with RVing so I don't have a ton of time.  Tell you what, tomorrow, I'll post AT LEAST two R.M.S. parts tomorrow.  Promise. Anyway, today is all Disney fan art.  Just click the link below to check it out!

So I was skimming Pinterest, Because you know me - if I could be paid to just sit around and look at Pinterest I would never have to worry about money again.  Not that I do.  Um... Just click the link below, and I promise, it's worth it!  I didn't call this post a collection of awesomeness for nothing!  (It's a collection of people art, relax)

Things that you will only get if you're me... Or somebody like me...or in my family...or one of my wacko friends...or just my homeschool group in general. Yes, today's boring post is all about the weird things that go on in my life - from 4H to just joking around with Mom before school. The Gravestone Ad:  So my Mom and I were driving along to the library when she hears a snippet of a commercial saying, "Buy one grave on sale..."  And Mom and I look at each other like...huh?  So I casually say, "Running low on places to store dead bodies?  Well worry no more!  We're selling head stones, buy one get two free!  In fact, buy a coffin now and get a gravestone free {engraving changeable}"  (I checked it out later, this ad is for real...buy two get one free till September 23) It's Sam's Fault:  Nobody knows where this phrase came from exactly came from, but it's really catchy.  Don't know why you did so badly on that math test?  It'...

Yep we're back! And with more R.M.S. parts too!  Actually, just one short one today, and tomorrow, but I promise action after that.  You see, I'm so behind on blogging and actually writing out R.M.S. that I'm scrambling to keep up.  At any rate, it's way easier to schedule R.M.S. than actual, interesting blogging material.  Mph. I take it back, tomorrow I will for once actually post something interesting.  I know, bizarre, right?  But that's tomorrow.  Today is just a quick text post.  So before I clear out, have an R.M.S. story part. If you're new (we are trying to recruit readers and bloggers, remember, so you never know) you can check out all former story parts and get caught up on the story here . Random Marvel-based Story (Part 47) The team, having already heard Jess’s abrupt talks with the threat writer over the com system, so they peppered her with questions the moment she walked out into the light, purple diamond dress and every...

So I'm a little behind on posts, Therefore, this week is going to be insane, post-wise.  As in, last minute and whatnot.  Anybody, I don't have much for you today, just the promised story parts.  You know, back to the art gallery for Jess and her buddies. By the way, our computer is down so I have to write these on the TINY laptop screen.  At any rate, small for me.  :(  Talk to you tomorrow folks! Random Marvel-based Story (Parts 45 & 46) { Click here to read the rest! } “Finally, I hate being the center of attention,” Jess muttered as the last reporter rushed away, no doubt to report her ‘juicy gossip’ to her run-of-the-mill magazine.  She rolled her eyes and whispered, “The agent that he sent ain’t drinking the kool aid.  I need J.A.R.V.I.S. to get me anything on Luna Covey, and I’ll go see what I can salvage, because my agents have already messed this up.  Ten minutes, that’s all I ask for.”  She sighed and leaned again...

Hello folks! So today is...you guessed it - Fashion Roundup Day!  (a.k.a. Monday)  Perhaps you're new (unlikely, but who knows) and don't know what Fashion Roundup is.  If you want to read more, you can scroll down to the "Catagory(s)" at the bottom of the post.  If you click "Monday Morning Fashion Roundup) you can actually see all the posts...you know what?  That's too complicated.  If you want to read all the current M.F.R. (that is something that does not roll of the tongue) just click here .  Now, let's start. So we're now "officially" in Autumn (right - are we?)  Well, I'm starting to feel it anyway, so this week AND next week I'm going to be posting all the styles so that you can be up-to-date!

I saw that look. Relax, I'm not talking about an art dump.  It's not time for that yet...yet (evil laughs like a maniac).  Now, what I'm talking about is for R.M.S.!  If you remember correctly from the last post, Jess and her buddies are out in an art gallery looking for the threat writer.  Don't remember any of this?  Click this link to read up until this point in my story!  :)  Click the link below to read on!

Hey hey hey! So I was just messing around on my camera last night, avoiding getting a proper amount of sleep, when I figured something out...long-term exposure.  Yeeeaaassss.  Sorry, but that's all I got for you today.  -_- This is really what I do with my time. I'm so incredibly interesting. Yeah. Purty! I only moved my camera a little in this photo, so you can kinda see my street. Alright, I'm done.  Bye bye!  (Sorry for the boring post...I'll post something interesting tomorrow, I promise)

Hello y'all. Well it's finally happened.  I've started saying y'all as a normal part of my day.  Groan.  Complain.  Mutter.  Mom does it too, but she doesn't care - me on the other hand, I notice it and I just think to myself, "Ugh, could you be anymore Texan, Noelle?"  Anyway, so today's post is about my Writing Journal, which I love so much. It's a random notebook that my Mom gave me, and it's filling up bit-by-bit with tons of cool poetry (at least I think it's cool...some of it's actually kind of lame, but we're going to skip over that part today)  Inspired by some of my favorite poets, I did some concept painting to go with my fave poems and creative paragraphs in said writing journal.  And I wanted to post about it, naturally.  Why are you surprised?  (If this gets your attention, R.M.S. parts following!!!)

So I'm in a 4-H Group, right? Yes the Sod Squadians are quite a group.  We weed, plant all kinds of yummy vegetables, chop apart old plants, learn about weeds and helpful plants and bugs and soil and compost, etc.  We even eat raw plants without asking (mostly because we already know what it is...mostly).  I know, we're so rebellious. Elena, Thomas, Jarod, Ella, Jesse Melendez, Birdy, Sam, and Me!  The great Sod Squad warriors, prevailing against weeds in endless battle, every week 3 -5 P.M. Yes, my 4-H group is pretty awesome.

Hiya! How are you on this Wednesday?  Well I'm grumpy, tired, and don't have a lot of time, so I'm going to post your favorite stuff and hope that will make up for the fact that I'm didn't really post much today.  Especially since Sunday and Tuesday were all poetical and stuff.  That's right - I'm posting R.M.S.!  I know, I know, I'm awesome.  Lets see... Random Marvel-based Story (Parts 40 & 41) { Click here to read all parts! } “I hate tuxedos,” Sam muttered as he stepped out into the gallery.  He fidgeted with his bowtie and glanced around for what Jess called “suspicious”, but didn’t see anyone yet. “What about maintain radio silence until necessary do you not understand?”  Ava hissed through the com line that Spider-man had crafted them up overnight.  Ava was worried that if they talked too much they would attract attention from the Gallery’s “heavy” security. “Relax, Kitty, I don’t see any angry guards heading my way,” Lu...

It shocks me. It honestly shocks me how many people you can say that date to and it won't mean a thing to them.  Did you know what it meant when you read it?

Evil laugh!!! This week's fashion roundup is all about shoes that are to die  for.  I am a known wearer of shoes with a bit of hight booster, simply because at 5' 1" and not growing, it feels good to add an inch...or three...to my hight.  Deal with it.  Anyway, you know the deal, just click the link below.

Well I don't have a ton of time, Because I leave for a Confirmation Retreat in like ten, fifteen minutes.  I'll be sure to take photos, although I'm not sure if it will be all that interesting.  Hmph. Anyway, today's post is just a reflection on life...or in my case, school buses.  Yep, every time I see one of those sweat-drenched child-packed bright yellow monstrosities trundling around I get a huge smile on my face.  Which is strange - the word school bus probably makes the average thirteen year old shudder in fear and think of prison guards, or maybe a nasty set of teachers waiting for you, or maybe just a bully on that bus.  Maybe you threw up in one once (I thankfully, have not done that). So why in the world would I smile every time I see a bus? (And I mean EVERY time).  Because long after the highschoolers and the middleschoolers have been picked up, sometimes even after those ittle bitty first graders have shouldered their backpacks and stomped...

Ok, I've got less than ten minutes. But I WILL post this because I promised the instant that I finished enough, I would post R.M.S. parts!  Well I finished enough!  Yeah!  Can you tell I'm pumped?  It's nine o'clock when I'm writing this and I just had a cup of tea and I'm listening to my fave upbeat playlist so I'm kinda nutzo right now! Anyway, just click the link (hurry, I'm running out of time to type!)

Yes, you read that title right. I WASN'T done with my art dump!!  HAhahahAha.  Yeah, I know, I'm crazy this time of day...well really any time of the day.... Anyway, it's only one photo, but its got a story to go along with it.  Ever heard a people watching?   {If you haven't, you are missing out on life sooo much}  Besides the beach, I like to people watch at Costco, because there's so many people to watch...and yes, I do have favorite people watching locations.  Deal with it. Well at any rate, I learned several important things about the fate of humanity.  I even made a list.  Click the link below to read it!

So today... I was emptying the dishwasher and pulled out one of those flattish flyswatterish spatulas (you know the one I'm talking about) and then went into this whole ninja pose.  "Hey Mom," I yelled (please note I'm wearing heart-patterned, off-green pajama shorts and a coral Star wars X-wing t-shirt while doing this - that's how goofy I looked, plus ten) "I'm Spatula-man!  Master of the spatula!" My mom, forever calm with my weirdness, glances at me from the other room (ninja pose and spatula and all) and just says, "I don't think that the Avengers will be letting Spatula-man into their club anytime soon." I'm just over here like "huh?  Why?"   {Cuz Spatula-man is awesome}   And then she looks back and says (like it's obvious) "Well all the villains and crooks would just snort themselves to death!" Moral of this random story from my weird life?  Petition Marvel to add Spatula-man to the Avengers of...

Hey hey! I'm back again with another Wreck this Journal Wednesday! (Is it bad that I have to sound out wed nes day whenever I type/write it? Am I the only one who does that?) Anyway here are some more pictures of my Wreck this Journal and if you don't know what a Wreck this Journal is then you can check out that link right above, at the top of the page, and click the tab that says Wreck this Journal Wednesdays. Feast yer eyes! This one was really fun! It says "Stand Here, wipe your feet, jump up and down." I used watercolor paints and painted the bottom of my shoes and did shoe prints all over it. Sorry the quality is horrible on the picture. This one was really messy. I splattered pink paint all over the page and took  pictures of Starbuck's cotton candy Frappuccino, That drink is the best thing in the entire world!!! To me at least ;)  Anyway, I put sparkles on the logo and drink. (I'm still finding pink sparkles in my bed...

So this is one of my... "Boring text posts" but I have to post because there is SO much information I need to get out there.  I'm like overloading right now. 1 - You'll notice that I updated the look of the blog a little bit.  There's a "side bar" on the left now with a couple photos.  Feel free to explore them - I'll probably add some more soon.  Anyway, if you click on them, they'll link you to info on that photo. 2 - Don't forget to scroll down after reading a post!  There's all kinds of cool stuff that you can do, including adding your reactions, comments, and seeing who and where that post was posted. 3 - Speaking of scrolling down, be sure to take a look at the bottom of the page when ever you glance at the blog.  If you take a look, we have some pretty awesome gadgets down there, so take a look! 4 - At the TOP of the page directly under the blog title is an email box with a little button that says "submit" next t...

Hiya! Or as Jillian would say, hey hey!  Anyway, I did this drawing/painting a while back for a cartooning class I took in homeschool co-op.  Long story short, I did not belong in that class.  Seriously, who put me in that class?  *grump* At any rate, here's the drawing (there's not even a link for you to click...gasp) and then I'm outta here.  I know, supershort post.  Sorry, but I don't have a ton of time, so yeah I'm leaving now.... Drawing (click to enlarge) As you can see, it never was really finished - Capsicle here still has some detailing left to do, but other than that, it's almost finished.  Comment if you think I should finish it! Don't forget to read Jillian's Wreck this Journal Wednesday post, or click here  to see all her W.T.J. Wednesday posts!  Have fun browsing, and email skoshimom@gmail.com to sign up to be an author...I'm not joking why am I the only one posting??

So how was your Labor Day... Did you labor or somehow escape doing school (I did not, unfortunately)?  So I had a little time over the weekend, so I cleaned my room (not by choice of course, that would be silly) and went through through all my files.  It turns out I'm an artist!  Who knew!?  Ok, enough of the sarcasm. {But seriously, where did all this art come from??} Anyway, for the next few days I'm just going to dump art on you, meaning, lots and lots and lots of art and doodles and paintings and ink drawings and cartoons and mixtures thereof.  I'm a bit goofy today in case you didn't notice yet.  Random note:  we're at 75 days!!!  Which means according to my calculator we're about 20% of the way through 365 Days!  Cool, right? Right.  No more goofing around.  Focusing now on the missions at hand.  *salutes and somehow keeps a straight face*  Today's art dump is all my strange ink doodles.  Ok, so ink freak...

Hiya! Welcome to the new section I decided to start (kinda spontaneous actually).  Fashion Roundup, once a week, every Monday!  You may notice that this is the second one, because my dedicated readers know that I did one of these before.   Click here to read it !  Your welcome.  Click the link below for the first official Fashion Roundup!

(Post was deleted.  Sorry!)

As the title says... ...And I kinda promised that I would post story parts.  Well guess what - I'm not just posting two R.M.S. parts - I'm posting THREE!!!  Yes, I'm awesome like that.  Well, I hope that you're ready to read, because here I come! Click the link below to read on.

Ok, so the title is kinda obvious. I got nothing for you today, or tomorrow.  So today - part 33, tomorrow, 34 & 35.  I haven't been writing as much recently, so I kinda have to "catch up" in R.M.S., which is bad.  Why?  Because I want to finish it before Halloween so that my costume makes sense.  It would help if Lily's costume made sense too, because she's the villian....hm.  How about I just post the parts now?  Sounds good?  Yes, yes it does. Random Marvel-based Story (Part 33) It was in edgy silence that Danny and Jess rode home.  She wasn’t going at her usual break-neck speeds, and he didn’t say a word to her.  This was the Jess I thought I knew, he kept thinking, turning the thought over and over in his mind.  That I thought I trusted. Jess took the long way home, taking time to visit places that the team had had big battles at.  The rooftop where the had captured the Beetle.  The road where they had...
