International BFF's

Hello! If you're reading this, you've probably noticed that our blog has got a bit of a change of theme!  That's because it's Halloween, age of skeletons and cheap candy :D I'm mainly writing this post to give special thanks to  +Lily Griffin , who took the background photo for our Halloween/October theme!  Her photo is definitely appropriately spooky :P  If any of you guys want to have a picture used as a background, just let me know (pssst we'll be needing one for Christmas) I wanted to find something Halloween themed and instead I found this sassy skeleton :| Yeah, this was a pretty short post... hrm.  Hope y'all have a great day and if you still celebrate Halloween, let me know what you're going as!  Or have you grown sad and boring and decided you're, "Too old for Halloween, I'm not going to dress up, I'm just going to wear a super hero tshirt and demand free candy,"?   Tell me in the comments! Byyye~  *rides off i...

Hi guys!! It's Elena again!!! The Race just started! I will be explaining the games, and stuff, and spirit points, and other random stuff. It was wild. I have pictures!!! I will also be explaining that game. That one was my favorite. It's called American Eagle

Hello internet world. It's Elena, and I'm here to tell you about one of my favorite books. I will give you the introduction to the book so that you'll understand it, and then all the pictures. This is a writing prompt book before most writing prompts were found on the internet. This book is also a family favorite, I hope you enjoy the story. There are writing prompts for fiction writers, horror writers, and more. Each picture will have a caption underneath from the book. I hope you enjoy the post! Now, to Harris Burdick

Hey y'all! So I recently saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Two and Spiderman Homecoming, and both got me thinking about the future of the MCU and where it's gonna go. So we all know that a lot of actors are either getting stand-alones or are leaving the company due to, y'know, contracts and such. That made me realize something. Since a lot of actors are gonna leave, there's probably a hellavu lot of death in Infinity War. So...that basically means bye-bye Avengers, right? NOPE! There's actually a backup plan for the Avengers....the Young Avengers, aka the most widely diverse team I've ever seen and by far my favorite. The first member is America Chavez, aka Miss America. A hispanic teenager with super-strength, speed and flight. Like a better version of Cap. Next in the twins, Tommy Shepard and Bobby Kaplan. Reincarnation of Scarlet Witch's sons. Don't ask, even I don't understand. Tommy has Quicksilver's speed and goes by, well, Speed...

Hey everybody! Amelia here (oh yeah thats my name by the way) with another of those favorites posts. This one's gonna be a bit different though...so hang in there, yeah? Alright, lets do this! 1. My favorite time; Sunset, when everything is in shades of pink and orange and purple, painting the sky in a different sort of beauty every day. The stars are barely visible, and the sun is this great big ball of light thats hard on the eyes but soft on the heart. The moon is orange, like a mandarin, small and shadowy and real enough that i think it could fit in the palm of my hand if i just reached out . But I don't, and that's okay. The moon deserves the sky, not a cage of pianist fingers. 2. My favorite animal(s); I have two favorites right now. The first? A bearded dragon. I'm not normally a fan of reptiles, but my family recently got one, and he's adorable. His name's Rango and he looks dangerous but is really sweet in reality. His spikes are actually soft and...

Greetings from England! Elena here! Today I will be taking about something VERY special. It is called The Race, and it is a HUGE deal here at RAF Mildenhall and Lakenheth. It is not what you probably think it is. This is not a normal race. This is The Race. Not a foot race. Not something to see who is the fastest, or who comes first. This is a competition between four teams made up of the high school  Youth Group, and the middle school Youth Group. Team Green, Team Yellow, Team Blue, and Team Red. All made up of a mix of Highschoolers and Middleschoolers. I'm on the red team. :) They all compete with each other in various games, this is my first year and I'm not exactly sure on what all they do, but it looks very interesting. Last night we did the Race Lottery, which is when you find out what team you're on. We (my brother and I), got there late so there wasn't any seating room for us, so we just stood there. we had to turn in our Race regis...

Hi guys! It's Elena again. A lot of you have probably heard of the new D.C superhero movie, starring Wonder Woman. I saw this on Saturday with my family and I had to write a review. This is my first time writing one. On to the post!!!

Hello, hello, hello! So Spider man: Homecoming is coming out soon, and I decided to write a post on it. Like every other blogger here....lets hope I at least get some notice.....which is unlikely. But any who, the newest installment in the new set of standalones promises to be a good one. (Though I'm still waiting for Captain Marvel and Inhumans) The movie is centered around 15-year old Peter Parker (played by Tim Holland), a nerdy high school student that.....it's well liked. When I said that, you probably imagined tall, blonde, jockey Flash Thompson, right? Well, you're kind of wrong. In this reimagining in the MCU, Flash is a snobby rich kid played by Tony Revolori. Finally, some representation! Some other new characters are Michelle, one of his classmates, and Ned. Ned is played by Jacob Batalon and is basically Peter's best friend. Also one of the few people to know about his powers. And, of course, there's MJ- wait. No. There's no Mary Jane...

Heyyyyy people!  'Tis I, Clarissa, and I have been summoned from the depths of schoolwork and avoiding blog posts to greet you! Why, you ask? *Fuzzy comm sounds* "I have been summoned. My time has come." ........Noelle posted about Spider-man: Homecoming. .....I freakin' love Spider-man: Homecoming. And it hasn't even come out yet! I completely share Noelle's enthusiasm for this movie. I hope she also realizes that this means it is inevitable that by posting about it, she has invoked my name, making me follow up on it with another post about a different aspect of Spider-man. Because that's how we fangirls roll. If you haven't read Noelle's introduction to Spider-man: Homecoming, please make sure to first check out her post here: Spiderman: Homecoming (Prep Post)  She does a great job getting you familiar with the character and history of Peter Parker. Today, I'll be elaborating on a very common misconception concerning Spid...

hi! Three guesses who's writing this, since we no long put our names in the titles.  ...haha no it's still theChalkGirl.  (hello?  Anybody?  ....welp) So I wish I could say this is a Dear Adults post, or something fabulous and similar to such, but...it's not.  HOWEVER Dear Adults is the main reason I'm posting, and I have exactly fourteen minutes to write this before 'electronic curfew' begins so...let's dive in, shall we?  Good. Alright, let's get the actual adverstising out of the way first (I'm sorry.  But hey, now you can stalk me on MULTIPLE platforms!) My Google+ page  (I post sketches, writing prompts & tips, chalk art, and monthly contests!) My Wattpad account (I'm posting my book series RMS on there bit by bit, we're about 1/2 through the first.  You'll like it, so go check it out) My YouTube channel (will become important later in this blog post) My other blog  (cute comics about wimpy mythical creatures) My o...

So um...I feel like I should be all happy and energetic, because WE JUST HIT 600 POSTS!!!  Who am I kidding, this is pretty dang cool.  I know that IBFs isn't quite as lively as it always has been (*cough cough* 365 Days Challenge *cough) but it's definitely still pretty cool, and I hope that our bloggers stick around for 700.  Maybe even 1000....which begs the question...does Blogger have a post limit?  I feel like this is something we should research......nah.

Society has confused me. How is it that, When a woman is hurt by a man it is assault, Yet when it is a woman hurting a man it is punishment? How is it that, when a woman covers her hair she is dangerous, But a woman that shows her skin is a disgrace? How is it that, in school we learn lessons, On mathematics and english, But life teaches up better words, better equations? How is it that. the pigment in our skin, Which we are but unable to control, Controls our daily lives more influentially than, Our leader? How is it that, People cry when their blood dies, Yet can turn and scream, “Murder!”, At someone who believe in a god, different than the one that they hold sacred? Society has confused me, With their twisted, backwards ways. It has taught me lessons that should not be taught. Lessons of war and murder, Taught by the hands of people who know better the bloodstains on their hands, Invisible as they are, Tha...

Hello, hello, hello! So, two days ago was Valentines Day, right? And most of y'all hated it (I myself don't mind some of the sweets >:D) But in all honesty, I think most of you have the story all mixed up. Valentine's Day isn't all about love and kissing and being around your datemate! Actually, it's about a Saint during the Roman empire. It's a pretty cool story, so grab your popcorn, cus J's about to tell y'all kiddies a story! So this all started around the year 278 A.D.. Emperor Claudius II was ruling, and he wasn't a cool dude. This man loved his army, and he wanted it run with an iron fist. In fact, this douche bag was actually called Claudius the Cruel, due to his bloody ways. That meant that no one wanted to be in his army. And I mean  no one. Claudius is furious, thinking it's because young soldiers don't want to leave their wives and families to fight in useless wars. And he's kinda right. Like honestly, if I had a wife ...

Hi y'all! You probably read the title and thought, "Noelle what are you going to beat up an artist?  Did I accidentally walk in on a secret artist fight club?  Is this even the right blog??"  Okay, maybe not those  exact  words, and I WILL explain the title...as some point.  Maybe. Anywho, I have a lot planned for today, so might as well go ahead and get started.  This is sort of a Dear Adults, though not really.  It's also kickstarting a series of blog posts I hope will actually help people, including artist basics, tutorials, etc.  Idk how many there will be or how much I'll cover, but throw all that aside for now, because currently, I'm just going to dispel a myth about artists (ah, my favorite thing to do when I'm in a firey mood) and also, if you stick around to the end of this post, I'm going to be talking about my new writing project! Okay, so let's get started.  The victim of my sarcastic quips today is this phrase, often co...

Hi guys! I'm so excited to be blogging here for you all! Like you have no idea! Wait oh yeah, excuse my rudeness... you may be wondering who I am and I get it! So yes, my name is Carly. I am 15 years old, and I am a sophomore in high school! Crazy right? Well... you might not think so. Oh yeah, that's something that you should know about me, I tend to literally write my random thoughts into the blog and somehow they are there when I publish? Weird right? Well... you might not think so... huh? Oh sorry. I get carried away. I'm the youngest of 5 other brothers and sisters, and guess what? I'm adopted! Hmm... now that I mention that I should probably add that to my blog... oops :P My Family (Although it's missing my oldest brother because he took this one) Also for safety purposes, I didn't show their faces. Some things that I like to do would be blogging of course! That's one of my favorite things to do. I do have a blog called, DintPhotos . Feel f...

Hey, dudes. I'm back for the New Year! Yay! First off, I am so so sorry for not being on for the past two months. I go to public school, unlike all the other bloggers on this blog, so I don't have as much free time to post about random stuff. (Not saying that homeschoolers have it easy; they don't) Also, with Christmas and other events, I've been buried under a mound of crap that I just now was able to escape from. Other than that apology, one more thing: I may not post as much as before. School's important right now, as I start high school next year, and I need to focus on that too. And my art, which is the most important thing to me right now. Blogging used to be number one on my list, but now it's really far down under a bunch of other stuff. So please, don't get mad if I'm not spamming y'all with posts every other day, okay? Alright, so now that that is taken care of, I can get down to business (TO DEFEAT, THE HUNS!!). My old posts ...

Hey hey! This is just a quick update post on what I'm planning for the next few posts or so. Don't fear Christmas posts on the way! OCD Person: "Wait! You forgot about Thanksgiving!" ...Yeah, my family doesn't really do anything big for Thanksgiving, except our Pie Competition, which nobody came to...   Christmas posts include some - DIY's, decoration tours, ASL interpretations, and possibly a video of my Christmas play... I don't have everything figured out, I just wanted to post an update so you didn't think I died.   (SIDE NOTE: The witty vocab is leaving my post at this time, and might not be back so... :SIDE NOTE OVER)    Bye!   

Hi Everybody! Despite the fact that I said update before apology in the title, the apology comes first.  Because y'all deserve one.  Actually, lots of them. I'd say the major thing that I need to say is...well, I'm sorry.  I have a hard time remember that you, reading this blog post (and maybe even commenting), are a real person, and that you're more than just a view count.  I realized recently that I've just been looking at the numbers, instead of thinking, "Hey, this person went out of their way to read my blog post and I hope they liked it!"  Well, it shouldn't be that way...you guys are real people, and I'm blogging because I enjoy it, not because of the view count.  And I guess I'm apologizing because I forgot that. So yeah...I'm sorry. YOU THERE.  YEAH, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.  YOU'RE AN AWESOME HUMAN BEING. *is aggressively positive*

Hey, nerds. How was your Halloween? Good? Mine was great. I went out with a group o friends and we walked all over the entire base. All the way from the gate to our houses, which is about two miles. Sadly, I don't have any pictures......guess that's the great thing about not having a phone, right? Buuuuuuuuuuut, guess what holiday is coming up? And nah, it ain't Thanksgiving......IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!!!! (for all your fandom needs: http://www.redbubble.com/ ) Annnnyywhoooooooooo, since Christmas is coming up, I'M DOING DRAWINGS!!!! YES! ART! YAY!!!! But seriously, I am! I'll be doing sketches (full color.....possibly....) for the great price of..........FREE! No cost, dudes! And, if you haven't seen my art before, here's two examples: My French Child, Lafayette, is a half-body rough sketch AND THIS IS MARTIN! He's an OC of mine. And he's a full-color headshot  (though I probably won't be doing any of this kinda stuf...

Raise a glass to me not being dead, guys! Yay.... Well, it's 11 and I'm tired as all hell, but let's spit out a post, kay? First off, sorry for not posting. School's been a drag and blogging isn't my main priority right now. So expect on again, off again posts from  moi-même . Oh yeah, and expect Hamilton references. Cus, thanks to Aaron McEvoy and Dyal (a public school friend), I have become Hamiltrash..... thanks guys. Thanks a whole friggin' lot.  Oh, and side note, I am now called John and Philip by most of my friends.....fight me. But other than that, my life has been pretty neat and orderly. :) How about a photo dump, to apologize for my absence? Good? Great! He's handsome and shy but as evil as Charles Lake. Judge him and death will become a good friend of yours.  :) snek boy is too cute for this world WIP MY NAME IS HERCULES MULLIGAN, UPPIN' IT, LOVIN' IT!! (Noelle: I swear the Hamilton fans are literally coming ou...
