Goodreads

Hey people! I know you're all probably super busy, it being the end of the year and all, but I wanted to tell you all about this amazing website (if you've never hear of it) and if you have an account you can add me here.

If you don't have a Goodreads account and you love finding new books, this site is the place to go! I highly recommend it:) I'm fairly certain that you won't regret it.

I've found so many amazing books that I have loved and that my family has enjoyed.

I'm fixing up a list of the books I want to read next year, and I'm going to have a goal of how many books at the least amount I think I'm going to have time for. And if I go over that's just a bonus for me xD

Well, I won't keep you any longer:)

I hope you guys have an amazing last couple days of 2013!

Your friend,
Maddie

Writing Majestically

Hello one and all:) after coming home with a broken and dumbstruck heart from The Hobbit part 2, I remembered that I had at one time pinned a how-to-write-in-elvish graph. Yesterday I looked it up and also found out how to write Dwarvish runes! So I've been spending a lot of time learning how to write majestically:)

There are three different forms I've been studying of Middle Earthian languages. I can't remember the proper titles, but they are in the photo below:

And here is another form of elvish:

Dwarvish!!! I think that it's probably favorite:)

And then there's how to make your writing look elvish which I'm really bad at... But I'm practicing.

See? It's not that different from our cursive alphabet! I'm also trying to learn the Hobbits alphabet because I love them and would love to write like that :)

^ I love that:) Dwarvish is cool:)

^ translation: I Am Durin

^i scribbled in my school books... Haha x) 

^and this mess was my first attempt at elvish lettering with a Calligraphy pen. 

Eventually I want to learn to speak Elvish and Dwarf just for the fun of it!!! 

Well, I have to go but I hope this post amused you:)

Love,

Maddie

Far over the Misty Mountains cold... Through dungeons deep and caverns old... If it's to end in fire... Let us all burn together...

I have been waiting so long for today. Like, you have no idea. 

This time last year, I was eagerly awaiting the release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Adventure. 

When I got to watch it, a whole new world was opened up to me. Yeah, I read the book. But I didn't open up to it until I heard they were making the first Hobbit movie. Then I read the book again, had a LOTR marathon with my family and waited. I was so pumped to see the first movie. I was smiling so hard when I walked into the theater, my face ached the rest of that afternoon. Throughout the movie I sat on the edge of my seat, heart pounding and mind racing.

Today, when I walked into the theater to watch The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug, much of the same thing happened. But this time it was more serious. It was darker. I almost cried - and did cry - through all/part of it. It was really good. It was more than I had expected. It was better than I expected. I was extremely happy with it:) It's not really "close" to the actual book, but I knew that because it's and adaption that it would be that way. 

I think they did a phenomenal job on Smaug. He's everything I imagined and more.

He is:

Mischievous.

Tyrannical.

Mad.

Gigantic.

Maniacal.

Arrogant.

Wicked.

Stunning.

Freakishly intelligent.

Terrifying.

His voice made the air vibrate.

He has an evil sort of humor.

Over all, for a reallyyyyyy bad dragon, he's one of my favorite characters.

I mean, who doesn't love the perfect villain?

Ah, now we get too the line of Durin. 

Thorin wasn't as grumpy in this movie compared to the last movie; at least in my opinion. He is so hurt. I want to give him a hug. In the end of the movie, Thorin was so close to his home, his reaction and emotions broke my heart. Then it's like all of his anger came back. 

Fili really didn't have much of a part, I mean, there was one part when he argues with his uncle and sticks up for his little brother but that's the jist of it. I've actually nicknamed him "Lion Boy" because of his strength and because he really makes me think of a lion.

Kili had a bigger part, and, I almost died. Kili is adorable. And He find himself falling for a she-elf. He knew that to love her was impossible, but he did. And he had a hard time leaving her. I wish Thorin hadn't taught the boys that Elves were bad. I wish Thorin wasn't so hateful toward them. Because Kili was taught to hate them, he was feeling torn. And Thorin would have throw Kili out of a window if he found out. But yes Kili is awesome and I am going to cry so hard when they die. I'm waiting in both excitement and dread. 

This movie is epic, the characters are amazing, the scenes are breathtaking and my poor fangirl heart is peaceful. I'm going to cry about my dwarves dying. I mean, I don't want to say goodbye. But other than my personal feeling and heartbreak, I LOVE Desolation of Smaug and you all really need to watch it!!!

Love,

Your blogger,

Maddie

P.S. About The Title: The first lines of the two most amazing songs ever:) Misty Mountains, from the 1st Hobbit movie, and I See Fire by Ed Sheeran which is the song at the beginning of the credits of DOS. It gives me goose bumps:) You should all listen to it! 

Her Universe

So, a while back I discovered one of the most awesome clothing websites EVER.

How many of you know who Ahsoka Tano is? Well this clothing line is run by Ashley Eckstein, the lady who voices Ahsoka. She grew up as a fangirl and noticed how many girls were just like her. She noticed how companies only made fan apparel for men and boys. Girls didn't have the option of being the fans that they wanted to be. That's when she decided to open up a store for fangirls all over the world. 

Her Universe. 

You should really check it out. 

I am currently in love with the Hope Lounge Hoodie. It's just so adorable!!!

This store sells adorable clothing... Just adorable:)

It's a great site for fans of Star Wars, Star Trek and Doctor Who. 

I haven't gotten anything from the site - yet - but I've heard that the clothing is all really good quality:)

I'm hoping to get some cloths from there soon though, as soon as I make some money!

So yeah, check it out :)

Maybe I'll talk myself into writing an actually entertaining post later x)

Bye guys:)
