How Sweet! I've Been Nominated for Awards!♥

Ugh. I'm sorry, but LOOK at that. "Kreativ"? 
So I'm not totally sure what these awards are, but Seana nominated me for them.Yay! So honored. (:
Okay, so there are gonna be rules, and there will be questions. I hate answering questions, but I also love answering them, so let us see how this goessss.

Le rules:
I must answer 10[it says ten, but there are only nine. o-o] questions.
I must give 10 facts(fun or not!)about myself.
I must pass this on to seven lucky bloggers, whose blog is at least 50% about books.


Okay, okay. Those don't seem too bad to follow, right? Now pay attention, you'll be learning here.

Question número uno: What is your favorite song? Now, c'mon. I'm a music girl! I can't possibly choose. But OH WELL. I will. My favorite song [at the moment] is.. drum roll please,..."Say You'll Haunt Me" by Stone Sour. Lately, I haven't been able to get it out of my head.

Question número dos: What is your favorite dessert? That's easy! A Milkshake--if that counts.

Question el número tres: What ticks you off? OH. Well I could go on and on here, but I suppose I won't. What really ticks me off is when people are loud[specifically my sister and brother; at the moment, my brother is shouting squirrel to get the dog we're dog-sitting to stop coming to the door. >.<] They inherited it from my father. My sister is always shouting "so people will listen to her," and my brother is just loud to be loud.

Question número cuatro: When you're upset, what do you do? When I'm upset, I tend to annoy myself via my mind.

Question número cinco: What is your favorite pet? My favorite pet is a dog. I love how cute they are when they're puppies, and I love all of the different breeds.

Question el número seis: Which do you prefer, black or white? Black. I like it because I love the way neon colors look against it. It's just a really beautiful color to me.

Question número siete: What is your attitude? I'm usually a quiet, happy person.I'm very calm and staying away from the arguing that goes on in my family.

Question el número ocho: What is perfection? Perfection? Well you're looking at it! Hah. That's a joke. I honestly think that nothing is perfect besides God and Heaven. Perfection: The quality or condition of being perfect.


Question número nueve: What is your guilty pleasure? I'm so ashamed to say this, but I like it when people(other than me) get in trouble. D:


Like your Spanish lesson? Good. Okay, now here are the facts!


1. I have moved over 6 times in my 12 years of life.


2. I started home-schooling in 3rd grade.


3. I have OCD.


4. The worst medical issue I have ever had was getting poison oak. Or getting a glass door dropped on me when I was 10 months old(I have a dent on my forehead!)


5. I never really liked reading or writing until I moved here, to Alabama.


6. I am only six chapters into Jane Eyre and I've had it for a while.


7. I have 2 sisters and two brothers.


8. I am an aunt to a beautiful niece and an on-the-way-nephew.

Prayer requests, and an update for tomorrow.

Hey, guys! First off, I'm going to start off with a prayer request. My fathers' work partners' son just got diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. He has a 10 centimeter tumor in his brain, and is starting chemo soon. I would really appreciate it if you guys could pray for him. He's only 20 years old. That's the same age as my brother, and I couldn't imagine him having cancer.
The last time we had a group prayer for him is when we found out and we were at the zoo with my brother, niece, and sister in-law. We stopped looking at the bird and we all took hands and prayed. A week after we did that, we found out he was having less headaches and his tumor was visibly smaller! Yay!
But anyway, please pray for him. The other day we had him over for dinner--this was when he wasn't on meds and already knew he had cancer--he looked great and happy. He was laughing, smiling, cracking jokes, and was just happy. Then, today my parents went to see him and give him food and gifts. They said he was very weak, tired, and pitiful.
How could it be, a man who was on top of the world a week ago, was now so different? Sometimes I wonder if God is the cure to cancer. I mean....sometimes medicine and stuff like that don't work, right? And sometimes you don't need medication to get better. Maybe God's the medicine. So maybe, if you don't have faith in God, you can survive cancer. And maybe if you do you won't. But most of the time you will. I don't know why I'm bringing this up, but it has been on my mind for a while now, and I just wanted to get y'alls take on it.
Now, on to the other thing about this post. Tomorrow, as some of you may or may not know, is home-school day. I'm home-schooled, and this year, 6 flags is doing something cool for home-schoolers! They put their tickets half-priced for only home-schoolers, and, guess what else is cool?! The park will only be open for us home-schoolees. Isn't this cool? And tomorrow morning, my mom is taking my siblings and I. So that's what I'll be doing tomorrow. I hope some of you other home-schooled people will be there, too to share the fun! It's getting late, and I have to get up early tomorrow, so I guess I'll sign off!


Night guys,
Abbi.

The Avengers


Hey, guys.(: So I just got back from seeing the movie,"The Avengers." It's a great movie, and I really recommend it to anyone. It didn't have much inappropriate language that I can recall, so it's probably for ages 11-old people. But that also depends on how protective your parents are. They may not want you going to a movie that has mild language in it.


The cast of Avengers consists of: Chris Evans[Captain America], Jeremy Renner[Hawkeye], Robert Downey Jr.[Iron Man], Mark Ruffalo,[Hulk], Chris Hemsworth[Thor], Scarlett Johansson[Black Widow]. 


All of these actors did a wonderful job with the movie. You don't need to be a comic book freak to love this movie and want to go see it. I didn't even want to go see it, but I did. It was a great movie, the plot was good, and the actors did a wonderful job...acting.


For those of you who don't know the plot, here it is(not written by me. All by Wikipedia): 

The Asgardian Loki encounters the Other, the leader of a warmongering alien race known as the Chitauri. In exchange for retrieving the Tesseract, a powerful energy source of unknown potential, the Other promises Loki a Chitauri army with which he can subjugate the Earth. Nick Fury, director of the espionage agency S.H.I.E.L.D., arrives at a remote research facility during an evacuation, where physicist Dr. Erik Selvig is leading a research team experimenting on the Tesseract. Agent Maria Hill explains that the object has begun radiating an unusual form of energy. The Tesseract suddenly activates and opens a portal, allowing Loki to reach Earth. Loki takes the Tesseract and uses his staff to enslave Selvig and several agents, including Clint Barton, to aid him in his getaway.
In response to the attack, Fury reactivates the "Avengers Initiative". Agent Natasha Romanoff is sent to India to recruit Dr. Bruce Banner; agent Phil Coulson visits Tony Stark to have him review Selvig's research; and Fury approaches Steve Rogers with an assignment to retrieve the Tesseract. While Barton steals iridium needed to stabilize the Tesseract's power, Loki causes a distraction in Stuttgart, Germany, leading to a confrontation with Rogers, Stark, and Romanoff that ends with Loki's surrender. While being escorted back to S.H.I.E.L.D., Thor, Loki's adoptive brother, arrives and frees Loki hoping to convince him to abandon his plan and return him to Asgard. After a confrontation with Stark and Rogers, Thor agrees to take Loki to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s flying aircraft carrier, the Helicarrier, and imprison him until the Tesseract can be acquired.
The Avengers become divided, both over how to approach Loki and the revelation that S.H.I.E.L.D. plans to harness the Tesseract to develop weapons as a deterrent against hostile extra-terrestrials. As the group argues, Barton, and Loki's other possessed agents, attack the Helicarrier, disabling its engines in flight and causing Banner to transform into the Hulk. Stark and Rogers try to restart the damaged engines, and Thor attempts to stop the Hulk's rampage. Romanoff fights Barton, and knocks him unconscious, breaking Loki's mind control. Loki escapes after killing Coulson, and Thor and the Hulk are each ejected from the airship. Fury uses Coulson's death to motivate the Avengers into working as a team. Stark and Rogers realize that simply defeating them will not be enough for Loki; he needs to overpower them publicly to validate himself as ruler of Earth. Loki uses the Tesseract, in conjunction with a device Selvig built, to open a portal above Stark Tower to the Chitauri fleet in space, launching his invasion.
The Avengers rally in defense of New York City, but quickly realize they will be overwhelmed as wave after wave of Chitauri descend upon Earth. With help from Barton, Rogers, Stark, and Thor evacuate civilians, while Banner transforms back into the Hulk and goes after Loki, eventually beating him into submission. Romanoff makes her way to the portal, where Selvig, freed of Loki's control, reveals that Loki's staff can be used to close the portal. Meanwhile, Fury's superiors attempt to end the invasion by launching a nuclear missile at Manhattan. Stark intercepts the missile and takes it through the portal toward the Chitauri fleet. The missile detonates, destroying the invaders' lead ship, thereby disabling their forces on Earth. Stark's suit runs out of power and he falls back through the portal, but the Hulk saves him from crashing to the ground. Romanoff deactivates the portal to prevent further invasion. In the aftermath, Thor returns Loki and the Tesseract to Asgard. Fury notes that the Avengers will return when they are needed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I really hope some of you will consider going to see the movie, it really is great. Even if you wait until it comes on Redbox, or you see it on Netflix, please do see it. That's all the time I have for today.(: 

Ciao,
Abbi.

Editing. Sigh.

Hey(: So I know quite a bit of y'all wanted another excerpt of all my projects, But unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to writing lately. I've had a lot of visitors, like my brother and his wife and daughter, my kinda sister and my grandparents. Still have a few people over, but they'll be leaving soon, I'm sure. Then I'll probably be able to write a little more. After I do some editing, that is. Kidnapped is having some editing going on, not sure when that'll be finished. Next time I can actually get on a computer, probably. I've been stuck on the iPhone & iPad. Unfortunately, I can only wrote this short post, because I'm being climbed on :p Love you guys, Abbi
