Long Time No Post!

Sorry I haven't posted, but the computer I was using kinda broke. right now I'm actually using my friends' computer. :) we're gonna get the computer fixed soon (hopefully on Tuesday) ! I have to go now, so I'll hopefully post soon!

My Other New Blog...

Yes, I know, ANOTHER blog. But this one's only about LOTR. And, there's something else....The first, second, and third person to comment will share the posting privilege with me! However, there's already been two comments, so only one more will be able to post on that blog. Oh, and it's called LOTR Talk. HERE is how you get to it. It was originally another blog that I never used, so the address doesn't match. Even if you are too late to become an author of it, you can still follow it all you want!

Discussions Abound

Alright, here's my first post on Discussions Abound. First I must let you know that Eldarwen Failariel created a discussion group including Jillian, Myself, Eldarwen, Miss Morgan, Ashley, Emily and Rachel B. By the way, you can 'sign up' any time by clicking Eldarwen's name above and asking her to. This week's discussion is about movies. :) The one I'm gonna talk about is Inkheart.

Inkheart is based on the book 'Inkheart' by Cornelia Funke. It's about a small family (the dad Mo, the mother Resa, and their little girl, Meggie). I'm not going to tell you too much so I won't spoil it. Here's the interesting part about the story- There are certain people in the world called Silvertongues. Why are they called that? Because they can read characters out of books with their voice. So what's bad about that? The only way to read someone out is to read someone into it. That's what happened to unsuspecting Mo Folchart. While reading an unpopular book, Inkheart (who would've guessed), he reads two villains and a minstrel named Dustfinger out, and his wife in. The story is about him and his daughter, Meggie, trying to get her back. I've probably revealed too much as it is, but oh well. Next Saturday, I will post the next discussion along with the others that have joined.

I was tagged by Izori! I've wanted to do this tag! Okay....
