I'm Dreaming of a Green Christmas

              Just like the ones no one should know
             Where the tree tops are empty
             And children are mean
             Because they hear sleigh wheels on the grass
            
             I'm dreaming of a green Christmas
             Where the temperature on Christmas day will be 47 degrees Fahrenheit

          Yes, it's true. If you live in New England, (or most of the U.S.A) it will be a green Christmas for you (unless you don't have grass). There is some Spanish thing like El Nino or something and that is causing the warm weather. Last night we (my family) wrapped presents and decorated the Christmas Tree, we are very behind on the holidays this year. Last year on Christmas Eve, we were making remarks about the amount of presents we had under the tree. We were saying how the year before we had presents out so far we had to move the coffee table (we don't drink coffee, in case you were wondering... no offense), and that year we didn't, of course we only had to move the coffee table a few inches, but still. Then my mom said that she was going to go up to the garage room (my dad's library) to wrap a couple last minute presents. An hour later, my mom is making trips from the garage room to the living room hauling BIG presents, my mom probably had like ten presents stacked up in there.

        I said it's going to be a green Christmas, it's also going to be a wet Christmas. Look at this radar picture from a weather website. Now that's is scary, did you see that big blob of green, yellow and red? That was RAIN. And it is heading right for NEW ENGLAND, which is where I LIVE. And a bunch of other guys don't have snow either, which makes it even worse. Did you see those smaller blue blobs too? That was snow but there's barely any of it. CURSE THAT EL NINO THING!

Luke, I Am Your Mommy

            Thursday night was first time I have seen a Star Wars movie in theaters, and it was awesome. When the movie starts you see the hollow yellow letters that spell "STAR WARS" that slowly fade away into the stars. Then you see the upward scrolling words that tell you whatever they tell you about the movie. Then you just see space and stars and then a couple of planets coming into the screen. Next thing you know you see a giant Star Destroyer flies over head. Just that right there really gets you into the Star Wars feel and prepares you for the movie.

        The guy sitting behind me and to the right was super annoying. Say, if Klyo Ren walked on to the screen, this guy would be all like "Kylo Ren" in this weird voice. In the very begging when a Star Destroyer flies over your head, he went, "Star Destroyer" and it was very annoying. At least he stopped a little in the middle of the movie. But then he did it right after a lightsaber battle, when the guy he wanted to win (I will say no names so I don't spoil if you want to watch the movie) won, he was all like "Yeahhhh!"

        It was super packed at the theaters, I went with my dad and we were waiting in a line on the sidewalk when my friend came along with two of his friends, (one of which I know) and he told me he would save me a seat. So I saw the movie with my friends instead of my dad, but at least my dad got to sit with one of his friends, (which would be my friends' dad). The movie itself was pretty awesome, but like in almost every movie, there were some stupid things. I am asking Santa Claus for a DVD of the movie for Christmas.


The classic line from the second original Star Wars movie Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back is like the best part of the movie. The line: "No, I, am your father." Here is the video of that. Oh, and just so you know, in case you didn't read my previous blog post, the movie I was talking about is Star Wars The Force Awakens.

I Know

             TODAY'S THE DAY!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!! But I'm the only one in my family that's willing to stand in a line for an hour just to get a seat, so.... I'm in the car while my dad is driving me and my sister to Latin class (yes, I speak Latin, who cares if it's a dead language) and we're talking about the new Star Wars movie. I tell my dad I want to see Star Wars The Force Awakens as soon as possible, and he says that there are going to be people in tents on the sidewalk waiting just to see the movie as soon as the can because they just CAN'T wait. I tell my dad yeah, I'm one of those people. But I'm only 11 so I can't do anything.... Except plot.

            What if one of my friends and his older brother are willing to get out into the wilderness of people, (I wonder what is more wild, people in line to see a multi-million dollar movie, or poor people on Black Friday? No offense to poor people) because obviously one of my friends parents aren't going to want to stand in line forever either. But all of my friends go to public school and today is a Thursday, I'm homeschooled so my schedule is a little more... flexible... and I have really good negotiating powers (my dad likes massages and my mom doesn't like to cook dinner).



            For those of you that don't know the Han Solo quote "I know" in the best Star Wars movie Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back, I put a video of the quote here for you. But here's some history you might want to know if you don't know it before you see the video. Han Solo, Chewbacca and Princess Leia are captured by Darth Vader on the cloud city of Bespin, Vader plans to freeze his son, Luke Skywalker, in carbonite to take him to the Emperor who wants to persuade him into joining the Dark Side. Lando Clarisson then tells Darth Vader that the process of freezing Luke in carbonite might kill him, so Vader decides to test the carbonite freezer thing on Han and then gives him to a bounty hunter that works for him, Boba Fett. Boba Fett is also working with Jabba the Hut,,who wants Han Solo because Han has some unpaid debts to Jabba. Right before Han gets frozen, Leia tells Han that she loves him, and Han has the best reply "I know."

I Like to Throw My Hands Up in The Air Sometimes But Then My Pants Usually Fall Down

       I don't like to put my belt on sometimes, so what do you expect. Whenever I go belt shopping I usually get a belt that barely fits me. Not because I'm fat or anything like that, it's because I'm what they call skinny (you don't want to know who they are). I don't get belts met for five year olds, just every time I put a belt on I have to wear it on the tightest hole there is, and even with that it still could be tighter. Don't think of me as a vine snake or anything.

       I will wear a belt if I have to, as long as I see Star Wars The Force Awakens as soon as possible. The theater in my town, Jax Jr. Cinemas, will be PACKED. It's a good sized cinema but everyone will want to see it. LIKE ME. Two days, TWO DAYS, T-W-O D-A-Y-S, 2 of them 24 hour periods we call DAYS, until The Force Awakens comes out. The only way to see it sooner is to either find yourself a ski mask and a gun, or give yourself a death sentence. There was a guy, I think he had cancer, and he was going to die, and one of his last wishes was to see the new Star Wars movie, and he got to see it a month before everyone else. But I don't want to die so I'll wait.

DUM DUM DUM DUM DEE DUM DUM DE DUM DUM DUM

           Nine days until it happens. Now I don't mean a flying squirrel jumping off the Empire State Building, ( not that that wouldn't  be awesome, as long as the squirrel is fine, I mean, he can fly right? )I mean the new Star Wars movie. Star Wars The Force Awakens comes out on the 18th, and I am so excited. My dad isn't though, the director, J. J. Abrams, did the Star Trek reboots an totally messed it up, the original tv series of Star Trek is so much better. Now, if my dad's right, I hope that Star Wars is such a good movie series that J. J. Abrams can't mess it up, no offense to J.J. Abrams at all. I haven't seen the Star Trek reboot movies, I can if I want, but I'm not a big Star Trek fan, my dad is a huge tv critic, like he could get paid big time if he did that, so I'll take his word that the reboots aren't that good. He notices the slightest details and makes fun of them, that's why it is so hard to watch tv with my dad, but I got used to it. Maybe my dad is secretly making me into a tv critic? Star Wars is a lot better than Star Trek, though.

         I think that the new lightsaber is pretty cool, with the little blades that come out on the sides, but me and my dad both think that if your in a lightsaber battle with that specific lightsaber, wouldn't you like, cut you hand off with those little blades. J. J. Abrams better do something with this lightsaber, because Darth Maul had a pretty awesome lightsaber, then he just died and we never saw it again. It probably fell down that hole with Maul and people just forgot about it and didn't care. Know they can't have Klyo Ren just trip over a log fall down a hole so his lightsaber can be lost in time.

         R2-D2 is just plain awesome. He and C-3PO are cool, and they argue a lot. R2 goes on a lot of adventures, in different movies as well as galaxies, check out where he's been on this link.

                       Here's one of the many Star Wars The Force Awakens trailers.

Buddy, Get a Job

         Oh yeah, I said it. You need to get off your lazy butt and get a job. Now you should just imagine me as a little Texan girl with a bow on her head that said "Hey buddy, you better get off that couch and get yourself a job" or you can imagine me as your friendly neighborhood Spiderman.

         I said that to my dog once.
