Jillian - Day 283 (Spring Nail Polish Favorites #2)

Image
Hey hey! Currently I'm, sitting at my desk, in my room, on my pink chair, with my one year old, apricot (yes that's the color they call his coat) toy poodle, K.C. sitting on the stool next to staring at me, wondering I'm doing... and yes... I love descriptions ^v^ Anyway, on to the post! I got this from my local commissary but the brand is Sally Hansen: Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear . I have of few polishes like that and they work pretty well. This color is called Blue Babe... kinda a weird name if you ask me... Hope you enjoyed, and leave a comment down below of what your favorite nail polish color is for Spring! Bye!

Jay - Day 282 (More Of My Horrible Writing!)

Image
Sorry bout that last post. I had been reading really sad Bianca and Nico headcanons. If you know what I mean, cheers. Tears, tissues, and me. That was why the last post was so....inspirational. I guess. So yeah, life is still boring. I am going to see some family out in New York on Easter though....by the time this is posted, that will be past tense....*face palm* Any who, i actually have no idea what this post is about. Huh, that's a first.  Oh, wait, I remember, you guys get to read more of my horrible writing. Yay. So yeah, hope you enjoy and all that jazz. Read on, hope you puke for my horrible grammar. I just realized how bad I am at intros....oh well I'm tired. I'm A Half-God! Surprisingly, I felt no pain, well other than my head throbbing. I thought that should have stopped by now. Guess not. I felt calm and oddly at ease with the situation. You didn't believe that did you? Really, I screamed and yanked the arrow out, too scared to care about damage....

BIG NEWS!!! MUST READ RIGHT NOW!!!

Image
 So this post is not an emergency, like, life or death... but this is pretty awesome for us Studio C fans... hint hint Noelle and Elena ^v^

Noelle - Day 281 (Life Currently)

Image
HIIIIIIII EVERYBODY!! How are you on this fantabulous Tuesday?  It is Tuesday, right? *frantically checks and makes sure I don't have the date wrong* Okay, yeah.  Fantabulous Tuesday. So I realized I haven't really given you guys a good update on my life in who knows how long.  Therefore...update on life! School has been a bit stressful lately, between Dead Week (3rd Quarter Exams are killer y'all) and trying to juggle my increasingly demanding hobbies (writing, blogging, 4-H, etc.) with my also demanding responsibilities.  My dad just left on a 10 week school trip (military kids know what I'm talking about) and so it's just my mom, my grandmother (say hi MawMaw!) and I chilling in the house. Although grey days are never fun, they do have fantastic sunsets...which is why I love late winter/early spring (Mom:  SHUSH YOU'RE GOING TO JINX IT)

Noelle - Day 280 (Goofing Around Cuz SATURDAY)

Image
Hiya! It's your blogger, Noelle, who of course is awesome and pestering and noisy!  :D As you maybe sorta kind of guessed from the title, I wrote this on a Saturday, although I doubt it will post then.  But at any rate, I've got nothing planned for today so how bout we just goof off and do nothing!  YAY!! sorry to start this post off with something depressing... But all PJO fans know what I'm talking about, don't you? *laughs evilly* (I swear its fun stuff from here on out)

Jay - Day 279 (Thanks. Also, Some Fangirling)

Image
Hi guys. First off, I wanted to say thanks. The reason I joined this blog was to make people happy by reading my awkwardness. I never really expected to, yah know, have people actually read my stuff. Yeah, I may not have as many reads or comments as other authors, (Noelle..), and I may not have been here as long, but I feel welcomed. And that, in this cruel reality we call life, is a pretty darn cool thing. It helps me escape from reality, and it helps me calm down after school and my busy life. This blog let's me be me, however cliche that sounds. Here, I can be myself without all the embarrassment. Yeah, none of you (well, a few of you) know my real name, and I may have never met some of you guys, but I think of the other authors here as close friends. And to my readers, just keep reading. I really do hope you enjoy my posts and all. Thanks! After joining this blog, I felt like Nico Di Angelo. Thanks.

Jillian - Day 278 (Spring Nail Polish Favorites #1)

Image
Hey hey! So us authors REALLY need to finish up the 365 thing so sorry if all these post aren't as...   ...as they should be. This post, and maybe a few after this are about some of my favorite spring nail polishes... first because I don't really have time to make a design, and I'm kinda tired of walking around with only one hand painted with a design because of the first reason. Anyway, on to the post!   This nail polish is from Claire's .  It's called Mint to Be.   I hope you enjoyed! Bye!

Jillian - Day 277 (ONCE Upon a Time Main Characters)

Image
Hey hey! So how are you guys? Are any of y'all in a TV show slump? Yeah that's how I feel about my favorite TV show... But if you're in this position and haven't seen all the episodes of ONCE yet, you should, because YOU'RE MISSING OUT!!!

Jillian - Day 276 (Disney High #9)

Image
Hey hey! So how is your week going? Good? Bad? If it going bad check out Noelle's previous post :) So here I have s'more Disney High.... I don't know why post introductions are so hard for me? Oh and BTW don't stare at the GIF for too long... you start to hallucinate... Anyway, on to the post! Disney High #9: By Jillian J. McPeak “Wow! An actual sword!” she mused, “Is it iron? Is it sharp? How sharp is it?” Grace Ellen bombarded Axa with questions, one after the other. Finally, Axa had had enough. “Quiet!” Axa yelled angrily, “You have all destroyed the peace here.” “I think I’m going to go now.” Narnia squeaked. “Yeah I think I’ll come with you.” Rachel added, scared. “I want to stay,” Grace Ellen announced. Narnia and Rachel looked at her like she was nuts. “These girl are crazy fun! Am I right?” Rachel grabbed Grace Ellen by the arm, “I think it’s time for us to go.” “Bye! Have a nice day!” Grace Ellen waved back at Hope and Axa a...

Noelle - Day 275 (Daily Awards To Make Your Life Better)

Image
Ello everybody! I hope you're having a great day today!!  If not, this is the blog post for you.  I specifically am writing this for people who are feeling down.  Like me (except, I'm not at this particular moment.  BUT I WILL SOMETIME) Seriously, if you're ever feeling bad (about yourself, about other people, about school, about life in general...) just read this post.  I can't guarantee that it will make you feel better, but I hope it can make you smile.  And smiles are medicine for self-doubt and pain and all that nonsense.  :)  See?  Smiles.

Noelle - Day 274 (New Story!!)

Image
Hello everybody! So as you probably maybe possibly guessed from the title, I have a new story to share with you guys!  A little backstory:  this is a fan fiction (yes, another one) written by former blogger Alisa and me, and it's a crossover between RMS and Percy Jackson with a little bit of 17th Century thrown in there.  Yeah, I know, it doesn't make much sense.  It was a very random idea.  Let's just say it's more HoO/PJO and less RMS. This is only section one, and I won't be posting more for a little bit because we skipped around a lot and didn't finish the second section yet lol.

Noelle - Day 273 (Babysitting Nightmares)

Image
Hi guys! It's Noelle, blogger, artist, writer, and apparently, teen babysitter as well. Happy Monday!!  I hope y'all don't have school this week (I don't :P) Hopefully, this is not you today.  Hopefully you are bright and happy. Actual post:  Today was an early Saturday (unfortunately, this will not post on a Saturday, making it sound like I need several more cups of coffee, but in truth I'm just posting it today.  I swear I'm not too  crazy)  Anyway so today was an early Saturday, where Mom made me drag my carcass out of bed at eight o'clock in the morning, if you can believe that. Anyway, once I had stumbled downstairs and considered for the 398th time that maybe I should try drinking actual coffee and not caffeine-free tea, it was time.  The day I had been dreading since I had agreed to sign up.   Volunteering at the church.   Babysitting.  Why.

Noelle - Day 272 (Even More Writing Help!)

Image
Hello everybody! It's your daily blogger, Noelle, arisen from the dead (I'm kidding; I know I've only been gone one day)  And I totally didn't spend my free day hollering out Disney music (apologies to our neighbors) Anyway, I've been posting a lot of writing references and prompts lately, and people seem to like them (one of them even hit #2 on the all time top 5 post list, which you can find in the side bar >>) So I was like "Hey look one of my posts got popular...ANOTHER" so yeah.  Here we are.  Writing another writing post.  The irony.

Alisa - Day 271 (Saying Goodbye)

Well, today is a sad day. Not actually. Today has actually been a pretty good day. However... today is the day I'm going to say goodbye to blogging. So like, my life got really hectic recently, and a lot of stuff happened. I eventually decided I needed to pull myself together and instead of being super scatterbrained and whatever, I need to find my passions and pursue them. What I mean is, I have discovered that blogging just doesn't suit me. So, yeah. Luckily, I'm not the only author on here. You'll still get amazing posts and all that. I really enjoyed being an author, and I hope you all enjoyed it, too. So... Goodbye. ~Alisa

Noelle - Day 270 (Noelle's Guide to 4H Survival)

Image
Hiiiiiii! It's Noelle, back with more strange thoughts, random stuff, and stuff about my life! So two days ago (Wednesday) regular Sod Squad started back up.  For those of you who don't know, Sod Squad is my 4-H group, we plant things.  And raised chickens (they're all grown up and vaguely mean and like 200 pounds of cute now).  And eat raw cucumbers (I'll share that story another time...maybe tomorrow)  And I mean regular like "one a week meetings". Anyway, so we had our first real summer meeting and a bunch of new people showed up, mostly younger kids between the ages of like 7-11 and ugh.  New kids in an agriculture group like ours can be hard to survive, so here is *drumroll* Noelle's De-Classified Survival Guide to Sod Squad (and all us annoying veterans that come with it).

Noelle - Day 269 (Six AM Reflections)

Hi everybody It's Dead Week - i.e. 3rd quarter exam week - and I have zero sleep right now.  Well, that's an exaggeration - I fell asleep at my normal time, 10:30/11ish, but woke up at 5 am and couldn't fall back asleep.  It's early.  I'm tired.  Perhaps coffee could keep me awake, but that would have to mean that I wanted to/COULD fall back asleep.  It's almost 7 and at this point falling asleep again would be mental suicide. I saw the sunrise today, with all its rosy pinks and lavenders, accented by orange streetlights whose lightbulbs should have been replaced by now.  The windows are splattered with droplets of water - it's supposed to drizzle until the afternoon - and the sky is one big color palette, stretching from gold to the left of my house and a deepish purple mint blue to the forest.  The trees are pure black, twisted and a little frightening, although I have their outlines memorized. Katherine keeps wandering past my desk, her tiny mi...

Happy St. Patricks Day!!

Image
Just a random post, and here, have a Marvel St. Patricks Day thing. Sorry for the bad language I didn't even notice that until now...whoops.  My bad.

Noelle - Day 268 (Because of Disney)

Image
Hi guys! Its your blogger, Noelle!  What up?  (the ceiling) No, I mean what's cracking?  (Faults, causing earthquakes and tidal waves)  No, like, what's happening?  (life)  UGH YOU GUYS ARE SO HARD TO TALK TO!!  I love it. So these "because of Disney" photos have been practically bombing my Pinterest feed and I dunno why (I blame you JJ.  Your argument is invalid) so I was like obviously somebody wants me to post about Disney.  SO ITS HAPPENING.  (sorry I'm really hyper; I'm writing this at 9 pm and I've had too much sugar) Bonus points if you can comment with all the movie names (although its not too hard) (don't scare the children JJ)

Magnus Chase Story Chapter 3

Image
Wow, I am on a roll! Well, I did tell you that I would update at midnight, didn't I? So, let's get on with the chapter!!! (I know it sucks...bear with me...) Camp Half-Blood? Eh, The Could've Picked A Better Name. Not really. But it did feel like I died. It felt like I was being torn into microscopic pieces and reconstructing. Except it was much faster. Like, Tilt-A-Whirl-puke-your-guts out fast. It felt like hours of torture, but in reality, it was more like 5 seconds. My imagination sucks . A feminine, teenage voice says something around my right shoulder area, "Hey? You awake yet?" Groaning, the first thing I notice is the throbbing pain coming from my head. Reaching up, I feel something coarse and thin. Bandages. Then, I check the rest of my body. No other marks line my body, except a scar I got when I was little. I've had that as long as I could remember. "Jeez. What happened? I feel like I was pile-drived by a bull.." Even my vo...

Magnus Chase Story Chapter 2

So yeah. That's the new title to all these posts. They aren't gonna be 365 because figuring out the date is hard. That and I'm a lazy book nerd with no free time...(Oh hello Elena...What's that? You want me to come over? TOO BAD!) These posts...Or chapters...Or whatever, will be at random days and random times. Sometimes at 12:00 am...possibly. You never know when creativity may strike. Like now! I only have about 3 minutes to post this sooooo yeah. Also, post your favorite Percy Jackson/ Magnus Chase god or demigod. Mine's Hearthstone. That little elf is just sooo...*Starts rambling about empty cups, pethro, Blitzstone, and heather*  I Find Out My Dad's Bald and My Uncle's Santa. Of course I have to dream. Now, I normally sleep without nightly disturbances. Seems like whatever godly force out there forgot. So now I'm stuck in a freezing cold dreamland with no friggin' idea how I got there. "Whelp. This is just great, isn't it?...

Jay - Day 267 (FANGIRL AHEAD! CAUTION!)

Image
Hello. I (like Noelle) have been really, really  lazy so.......yeah! I am now gonna randomly fangirl because I have no one else to fangirl with. Boohoo and all that jazz. FROM THIS POINT FORWARD BE PREPARED FOR SPOILS, FANGIRLING, RAGE AND SADNESS....FAIR WARNING!

Jillian - Day 266 (The 2016 Masquerade Ball Pictures)

Image
Hey hey! I don't have a ton of time (like 5 minutes) because my mom is bringing us to an unknown location, but... Every year the homeschool group has a dance. The first year was a christmas theme, the second was a spring theme, and this year was masquerade ball themed... so here are the pictures for that night :)

Noelle - Day 265 (More Marvel)

Image
Hello everybody! It's your favorite blogger and marvel fan girl!!! Today I want to talk about my current favorite show.  For those of you who live near by, you're coming over and watching it.  Whether you want to or not.  Don't even think about arguing. Any who, I feel like I should fill in for these slightly boring posts with some random bloggable stuff about my life, so hmmm.  Let's see, because it's winter, my very thin hair gets super staticky.  Seriously, I would prefer curly hair that gets tangled.  Why?  Because no matter what I wear (fuzzy or not fuzzy, rubber or not) I get electric sparks on my fingers whenever I touch light switches.  Or keyboards.  Or computer screens.  And it hurts .  :( That's enough blog stuff for one day?  Right?! So anyway, back on subject.  Favorite show!  A lot of people say that Agents of SHIELD isn't that great, but I enjoy it - I think it has a good storyline and some ki...

Jay - MAGNUS CHASE STORY THAT HAS NO NAME!

Well...you all seem well...I, in fact, am drowning in sorrow. All of my Avenger's High stuff is gone....POOF! GOODBYE HOURS OF WRITING! So yeah....I got nothing...how bout a random Magnus Chase short story thing that I might  probably won't continue...ok? Ok. Here we go. Me And Glacier Start A Sword Fight In A Dunkin' Donuts (Not My Fault...) You know those times when your walking home and you get those i'm-being-watched-by-a-stalker tingles up you spine? Well, at this moment, I was getting that big-time. Mine was worse though. That was because it was most likely true, due to the fact I was walking through Queens at the time. Oh, and if you didn't know, my name's Lyra. Lyra Valdez. Annoying Hispanic Extraordinaire. Well, at least by my friend Glacier's point of view. Glacier is my tall, blue eyed, white haired, bodyguard and best friend. Well, more like only friend. Basically, imagine a slightly taller, older Jack Frost and there's Glacier. The t...

Noelle - Day 264 (Marvel Fan Girl, Incoming)

Image
Hi everybody! I want to start out this post with a HUGE thank you to all the authors who have done a great job of keeping up with International Bffs.  I wasn't on vacation or anything, I just sat back and let the other authors do their thing (mwhahahaha) So I've been posting artwork and writing and deeply intellectual stuff recently (and if I haven't, then you shouldn't remember since I haven't posted in ten days) so I thought "hmm why not". SUMMONING ALL MARVEL FANGIRLS!!!  (and fan boys, although I doubt any of them read this blog) (also, disclaimer, none of this stuff is mine.  Sorry.  Maybe next time, guys) There's all kinds of fun fan art online if you know where to find it: Like I said.  I absolutely love Black Widow - she's my favorite Avenger!  And don't you dare say she's useless.  I will argue with you until the cows come home. Also, Tasha holding Cap's shield?  I think I died.

Jillian- Day 263 (My Surprise 16th Birthday Party Pictures)

Image
Hey hey! So this past month, February 24th to be exact was my birthday! Yay! I turned 16 and to be honest it was the best birthday I've had since is was 5. My day started off by us driving out to the Burlington County 4-H office to do art class with Mrs. Wen and some friends. Then, without me knowing why we were doing this until later, Mrs. Sara took me and Seraphina to help the Belles at the Arts and Crafts Center. After doing some painting we made our way to the community center to start the party... that i had no idea was going on. Here the pictures from that. Oh and, I'll be posting the pictures from the dance tomorrow :)

Jillian- Day 262 (Disney High #8)

Image
Hey hey! Intro stuff... nothing really interesting going on in my life...yeah yeah.... words...text...tired.... Anyway on to the post!   Disney High Part 8: By Jillian McPeak “HI-YA!” Axa shouted as she kicked a fighting dummy. The dummy looked badly beat up a there seemed to be signs of sword slices on it. That can’t be good, Narnia thought. “Hello, my name is Narnia, Rachel here told me that your names are Hope and Axa. I really like them. Your names I mean. How did your parents pick them?” Narnia asked. Axa glared at Narnia and Rachel, “Can’t you see I’m trying to train here?” “Train for what?” Narnia looked at Axa, puzzled. Axa got up really close to Narnia’s face and whispered, “For whom.”   “Um...okay,” Narnia backed off and turned to Hope. “Don’t even bother, she only talks to me,” Axa said flatly as she beat the guts out of another fighting dummy. Narnia winced from watching Axa, “Okay, do either of you-” “Pssst,” cam...

Jillian- Day 261 (Disney High #7)

Image
Hey hey! Sorry today's Disney High is sorta short... Hey! Have you figured out who anyone is yet? If you have put it in the comments :) When I'm done post through Chapter 1 I might make it available in Google Docs for y'all to comment on and read altogether :) Waddya think? Anyway, on to the post!  Disney High Part 7: By Jillian McPeak One of the girls was drawing using the dirt from the ground and the other was meditating. Ricky strolled over to them, “Hey sweet things, want to grab a drink from one of the vending machines, my dad owns them.” he smirked. The girl drawing glanced up, then went back to drawing without saying a word. “Hey, what's the matter? Too shy to talk to this awesomeness! I know! It’s sorta blinding…” Ricky, attempted to flex his arm. “You call those muscles?” The other girl, who had previously been meditating, scoffed. She then showed her muscles, they were about three times bigger than Ricky’s. “Ok, you two are wei...

Jillian- Day 260 (Disney High # 6)

 Hey hey! Have you been enjoying these GIFs I've been putting before my Disney High post? Which one has been your favorite so far? Did you know that everyone in this book is based off of a real person? Comment below who you think is who, I'd won't tell you... but I'd like to see how close I'm getting the personalities (but obviously I'm not going to get them EXACTLY, there are also quite a lot of hints to who is who) Oh and don't be afraid to leave suggestions in the comments :) Anyway, on to the post! Disney High Part 6: By Jillian McPeak After dropping the new pile of books off at Rachel’s locker the girls made their way back outside to join their classmates for lunch. Everything was pretty much the way they had left it. Bo was still carving his boat by the fountain. Then he was purposefully bumped by an Ricky passing by and the boat all flew from his grasp. Rachel started to march over but Narnia grabbed her a...
