It's really coming......

I really can't believe it. The Hobbit. It's actually, really, truly, being filmed.... When I first heard about this, I tried to not get my hopes up. But now it's totally coming. I can't hide from it. I'm in a state of shock. I LOVE the Hobbit. I've read it MANY times. Also, this is a part of my Geek heritage that I'm missing. I wasn't able to celebrate properly when the LOTR film trilogy came out, partly because I wasn't allowed to see it, and partly because I was only 6. Now with the Hobbit, and can go FULL GEEK.

Despite my love and faith for Tolkien, Peter Jackson, and my Geekdom, I feel really nervous. What if the CG graphics are bad? What if they make drastic changes?? What if the movie is cast incorrectly??? WHAT IF SMOG IS HORRIBLY CHEESY???????
I will DIE if the Hobbit turns out to be bad. It will leave a permanent scar upon the souls of all us Geeks, Nerds, and Dorks.

I guess I just have to put my faith and the small amount of sanity I have left into Peter Jackson's hands and hope that it turns out alright. I'm trusting you Peter. We all are. You are a DEMIGOD in our eyes. Don't let us down.

Old people

It's like inception........ WITH RAISINS. O_O

Speaking of new loves..... part 2

I ended up finding some bits and pieces of Batman The Dark Knight on youtube!!! I have decided that, as soon as my little sister isn't in the house, it is time to watch this movi.
I rewatched the bank robbery scene (my Dad showed it to me years ago. NEVER gets old) and the pencil magic trick scene, which I had never seen before. I. LAUGHED. MY. ASS OFF. It was the most terrifyingly hilarious things I have EVER seen. I seriously laughed for 30 seconds straight. Like a maniac. My Dad came over to see what I was laughing at. I told him and he gave me a horrified look. Apparently, he didn't find it comical. >_9

Tell my what you think.
NOTE!!! If you are under 13 or have a weak tolerance to violence, PLEASE don't watch this video. Parents, I am NOT responsible in the advent that your child DOES watch this and becomes mentally scarred.
THAT being said, enjoy the blood!! =D

Speaking of new loves..... part 1

I have also taken to fighting with claws!! =D
I have a habit of jumping from trees with the intent to kill passerb- ahem. URUK-HAI. Yes. That's it...... 7_9
Anyhoo, I jump out of trees with the will to kill (although not the license.... I'm still working on that.) evil monsters and protect my ancestor's sacred grounds! =D (just another day in the life for Rahel....... XD) I have recently realized that I can slash open my foe (or at least cause some scarring) with my fingernails!! =D

And it doesn't stop at launching at Uruk-Hai from the treetops! No. I have recently taken up walking slowly down the hallways, cackling like a maniac, and running my claws all the way down the walls.......... }=}
Oh yeah..... I have also taken up collecting knifes, handsaws, etc. and holding them between my fingers to create Wolverene/Edward Scissorhands claws!!!!! }=D
.......... AND cackling like a maniac...... 7_7

Mom says that she'll get me some plastic Freddy Kruegar claws when we go to the Halloween store!!!! =^^=

.......... I blame myself for my overly exited mind, but I still attribute my claw-slashing-instincts to my reading too much InuYasha! XD

I should really get into the habbit of going shopping

I have found a new love. No, it is not human. It is not a fictional character. (unless you count Fai. D. Flowright from Tsubasa as a 'new' love. =^.~) I did NOT get a hellhound (although I've been begging my Mom for one XD)
No. It consists of all purpose flour, coffee, milk, brown sugar, and ginger root mixed in to a lumpy brown sludge!! =D It tastes weird, spicy, and sugary, and when you consume for than half a cup of it, your entire mouth goes numb!!! =D

HAKAMAAA!!!!!!!

I think that I learned how to put on a hakama. =D

MAN. You would not BELIEVE just how confused I am. WHO SPENT ALL THEIR TIME INVENTING THE TIES AND STUFF FOR THIS????? I mean, it's awesome but really. I'm not sure if I did it correctly and if it will stay....... I'm afraid that it will fall off when (when I get my blackbelt) I do Aikido...... Well hey. That's what the gi pants are for, right? XD



There were many ways to put on a hakama, but I went with this one because it looked pretty simple.

The 3 worlds

As a child, I thought the term 'third world' referred to either heaven or hell. I wasn't sure which, I just knew that there were three, including middle earth, which was obviously second. My only questions were 'which world is heaven and which is hell?' and 'which world are we currently on?' I knew that we weren't on middle earth because we didn't have hobbits. I hoped that we were in hell because I was looking forward to heaven, and it would be a disappointment if I found that we were already there.

Now, with my newfound Tolkien knowledge, I know that we are on middle earth, and that the hobbits have just gone into hiding. I am still puzzled as to which world I have to look forward to though.
