Regionals Day 2 and other news.

Sorry for the HUGE delay on what happened that Sunday! I'm a terrible blogger! Then again I do have a good excuse *COUGH* Reno's = Moving = No Internet Access *COUGH.*

But your post is here now! So this is what happened. Did I say my figures final in the last post? I don't think so... but if I did it changed to 5th out of 10th! Which I was super happy about! My friend Sabrina got 1st and we had a big celebration afterward to congratulate the 5 of us who did get ribbons (Me Included!)

Anyways when we got to the pool on Sunday it was full force, Makeup-Landrill-Stretch after that we ate then Reapplied Makeup-Landrilled-and Stretched some more. Did I mention our hair was all gelled up in a bun with about 50 bobby pins sticking everywhere? It took like 2 weeks to get everything out, and every now and then I'm still finding flakes. Our routine was great I think... there were just a few minor difficulties, but nothing too bad.

We placed 1st out of 2 teams but still a great acclomplishment and I'm extremely happy with the outcome!

In other words I missed the Cassy Clare book-signing last Monday which almost had me in tears and I was absolutely NO use to the team anyways as there was only 3 of us there! One at camp, one with Bronchitis, one with the flu, and 2 others were actually at the book-signing! I was very disappointed with the team and we ended up just swimming laps and keeping up on our endurance...

I've also finished a few chapters of Jenna's World which is coming along great (Teasers up soon!) and I'm extremely excited because my story will be published in a couple of days now link for that up soon!

I've gotta go more moving boxes but I promise that I'll try to post more regularly now that I'm back an hooked up to the internet!

Synchronized Swimming - Regionals Day 1

Guess what?! Today was Day 1 of my Synchronized Swimming competition: AKA Figures.

Let me get you up to speed.

For those of you who don't know what the heck I'm talking about Click Here!
      Anyways, back to what I was saying. Today we did our figures and tomorrow we'll be competing for the title in our region with our routine!

Our theme is Iron-man (No not the movie! The Race! You know, swim, bike run?!) and if I can I'll post a picture of out awesome suits! Not our figures ones though because their just black and ugly and not nice to look at. Not like people really watch our figures anyway...

I don't find out my figures results till tomorrow so I'll post them when I get around to it. Hopefully tomorrow or Monday!

In other words I just finished City Of Fallen Angels and now I'm waiting for Cassandra Clare's Clockwork Prince the second book in her Infernal Devices series! For others anticipating that release I've added the countdown widget at the bottom of my blog so it would be awesome if you could check it out!

My mom's calling me for dinner,

Pocket Frog Fanatic and other awesome APPS!

In the day, most people are hooked up to the latest technology. Most of North America is hooked up to and iPod, iPhone, or nowadays and iPad. Apple is definetly taking over the nation! 

Anyways I wanted to recommend some of my favorite apps for the iPhone and, iPod touch.

 
 Pocket Frog is easily my favourite game for the iPhone and iPod touch EVER! This free game lets you breed, sell, race, and trade in frogs for money, potions, and stamps (not real of course.) Everything you do lets you gain points and boosts you up levels unlocking different types of frogs and more backrounds. This game is definetly up on my five star shelf and to make it better it's FREE!





  This game is up on my favourite shelves too. Angry Birds is one of the most bought games in North America. These tiny birds are sling shot by you to attack green pigs (Crazy!) who have stolen there eggs! With 5 different levels and more on the way this definetly a great way to use up 99 cents! 






 

 You can also buy Angry Birds Seasons which has a new level out for every holiday!







Fruit Ninja is another great app. Who knew slicing fruit could ever be this fun?! With tips from the sensei you can unlock blades and backrounds by playing, arcade, classic, and zen mode. My personal favourite is arcade mode but that's just me!  Slice more fruit to earn points but don't hit a bomb or game OVER! I'm pretty sure that this app is free so if you do decide to get it. There's no money needed!






I hope you liked hearing about some cool awesome apps and if you want more I'll be happy to do another entry on it!

            Have playing some new games!

As we wait...

So as we're all waiting for Cassandra Clare's City of Fallen Angels (Only 12 days!!) I decided to post a bit of my Mortal Instruments Fan Fic. Here it is!


From afar the couple that walked down the vacant street toward the burned, abandoned building seemed completely ordinary, but then again from afar most people did. Hence forth Clary Morgenstern and Jace Herondale were every bit from ordinary. Brushing a fiery red curl behind her ear Clary clung to Jace.
"They're going to be mad, They're going to be mad." She whispered to him.
"No they won't, they'll just be angry." Jace's lips brushed against her forehead comforting her immediately.
"But Jace we left them! Fled!" Clary cried, Jace's second kiss not comforting her now in the least as she remembered the day all too well.


"Jace Mom wants to see you and Clary in her room." Isabelle Lightwood knocked on his door.
"Why?" Jace demanded opening the door furiously at Isabelle.
"I don't know." Isabelle trembled, very unlike her. "She was very VERY mad though."
"Ah well Maryse does have those tendencies." Jace said trying to lighten the dark mood lingering around the room. Isabelle glared at him.
"JACE!"
Getting up from his bed Clary turned to him and spoke,
"We better go, if Maryse is in a bed mood then it'll only get worse if we make her wait."
"mmm..." Jace said and draping his arm around her they walked down the hall near Maryse Lightwood's study.


"You wanted to see us Maryse?" Jace asked as he and Clary entered the study.
Maryse looked up from a paper and she looked up at the two of them.
"Yes."
Her head gave a sort of curt jerk.
"Jocelyn, your mother Clary, called and said that Clary had been over last Saturday while Robert, Alec, and I were at the Clave meeting."
Maryse's narrow eyes turned towards Clary.
"Jocelyn said that you had told her that it would only be you and Isabelle." Maryse glared at Clary. Clary gulped and Jace squeezed her hand.
"I think it was obvious what you two were doing that night and we, Jocelyn and I, think that it might be best if Clary stopped coming to the institute for training, stopped coming..." Maryse paused. "Stopped coming all together."
Clary gasped.
"I couldn't, I... I..." Clary stared at Maryse in shock.
"Maryse?" Jace asked.
"What Jace?" Maryse snapped. Jace for once in his life seemed in shock.
"Fine." Jace said. "Clary won't be coming back to the institute."
Clary stared at her boyfriend not believing what she was hearing.
"And neither, will I." Jace finished. "Come on Clary we're leaving."
"Jace!" Maryse stared at her adopted son.
"You can't keep me away from someone I love." Jace glared at Maryse. And then he and Clary fled out of the institute towards New York.


"My mom is going to freak Jace!" Clary outburst coming back to reality.
"Why?" Jace asked jokingly.
"For gods sake! I'm pregnant Jace!" Clary said. "I'm pregnant at 17!"
"We don't have to go." Jace reasoned with her. "We don't have to tell Jocelyn and Maryse, and the rest of them.
"I know but Jace in a way I have too." Clary sighed. "I mean they're going to find out eventually right?"
Jace wearily nodded his head. As they neared the institute, butterflies rised in Clary's stomach and she felt sick.
"Come on then lets get this over with." Clary dragged Jace along up the door.
"I..." Jace had barely even started to speak the oath of a shadowhunter when the door was flung open by Magnus Bane?
"Magnus?" Clary blurted out. "What are you doing here?"
"Alec has chosen this moment to come out to his parents." Magnus said. "I'm afraid that if you and Jace have something to say Maryse might have a heart attack but, it's good to get everything out now!"Magnus smiled cheerily and allowed the two of them into the institute.


"Clary!" Jocelyn Morgenstern stared at her daughter her face turning from awe to anger.
"Hey mom?" Clary said weakly raising a hand. Alec Lightwood who looked as if he had been about to say something important looked slightly less confident at the appearance of Jace and clenched his fist.
"Er you go first Alec!"Clary gave him a smile and he shot her an angry look.
"No no you have something important to say, I take it that's why you came?" Alec nudged her.
"Erm yes well how do I put this?" Clary fidgeted in the dead silent room. Suddenly a rapping sound came from the door and Magnus got up from his perch beside Alec yet again to let Isabelle and Simon through.
"We came at the wrong time didn't we!" Isabelle squeaked as she saw everyone sitting in the room.
"You could say that." Luke smiled kindly at Isabelle. Isabelle swerved around to look at him and the girl beside him, Maia.
"What were you doing with her?" Maia got up from beside Luke and went towards Simon.
"I..." Simon stuttered.
"What do you mean what was he doing with me? I'm his girlfriend!" Isabelle shrieked.
Alec looked completely degenerated now.
"Um you guys can you fight later? Me and Jace should only take a moment." Clary finally said.
"Clary what are you talking about?" Jocelyn demanded.
"Clary!" Simon rushed past both the girls that were practically pinning him against the wall.
"You guys Clary, we, have something to say." Jace interrupted Simon running toward Clary.
"Yes um..." Clary paused.
"What is it Clary? Spit it out!" Jocelyn demanded angrily.
"I'm... I'm pregnant." Clary said it almost at a whisper. Everyone stared but the gasp that was let out was from someone totally unexpected.

I'm a book reviewer too!

So it's finally come to my attention that on blogs people like to review books. Who knew?!

And it's also come to my attention that I would like to review books as well. The third thing that came to my attention was that this blog was already packed with other stuff so I've decided to create another blog for my book reviews.

To come check it out go to http://theyabookreviewer.blogspot.com/ and maybe follow me?! 

In other words I added more to Jenna's world because that was what you voted for me to work on and I might post a sneak peek soon!

I have a synchronized swimming competition in 2 weeks and as it's spring break there's only one week of practice time and we're not even done the routine! Talk about cutting it down to the wire! Actually I have practice right now so I've gotta dash!

Ciao,

Spring Break

This going to be short because I don't have a lot of time, yes sadly I still have homework even though we're technically in-between terms and should be celebrating the fact that there's only 1 day until spring break.


I'm practically drooling while I think about sleeping in, vacation in Seattle, and the best part NO HOMEWORK!
                Plus a lot of my time will be spent reading new books and writing!!

This spring break I'll be reading lots and I'll try to update on what's hot and what's not

                                                                                    Anyways I've got to go homework!
