Greeks own Romans

I have not died! Trust me!!!

I went to Prescott (in AZ) for Thanksgiving (we left that morning) and I got back a few hours ago. I love Arizona. It's amazing. It's sunny, bright, you don't get natural disasters, and it doesn't snow. Yeah, it can get hot. About 115 degrees sometimes, but it's not bad. (only in the summer, but it's usually about 110 degrees or 105) It's nice in the winter, spring and fall. You can easily cool down in the summer.

AND it is really pretty up in Prescott. It's green (at least to me) and it's cool. It was 30-50 degrees while I was there.There's a picture of the camp/one of the cabins that we were at. It was my family, and 3 others. Total of about 24 people. We all know each other though, and it was like a big reunion. The camp's called UCYC. (United Christian Youth Camp) it was deserted and we got to use upper camp :)

But anyways. I just read a PJO fanfic called "I'll tell you later" by HiddenWorldWalker. It's about the "I'll tell you laters" Percy told Frank and Hazel in SoN.

It just reminded me about how Greeks own Romans's butts!!! You heard it in SoN! Greeks still had that one empire that started with a "B" when the Roman Empire fell!!! AND during the war, Greeks only had about 40 campers and 30 hunters, about a dozen or so Satyrs against kronos (who's more powerful than Krios) and Hyperion. AND they had to protect the mortals AND there was a city in the way AND there were TONS of ways to get on the island. Romans probably had about 200 fighters, they fought Krios (Ram horn dude, remember? he sucks?) Sure, they played offense, which might be harder, but did they have to protect mortals and did they have to watch out for buildings? NOPE!!!! Greeks win. Greeks battled 2 Titans, and a thousand monster army with less then 100 people. And protected mortals and fought around big buildings and fought drakons and that Sow/Pig that NO HERO HAS EVER BEATEN!!! Romans had over 200 people fight uphill and battle krios. bang. IN YOUR FACE!!!! Even the Romans were surprised Percy beat kronos in hand-to-hand combat.

Just thought I'd share.

And who else thinks the shipping would be totally hay-wire (or whatever it's called) if it went percy with Annabeth (duh). Leo and Hazel. Frank and Piper. Leo and Reyna. Highly wrong, and probably NEVER going to happen, but it made me laugh.
I really should be writing more, but Fanfiction is calling me. I really need to get writing on fanfiction AND my essay that I haven't even started that's due Monday.

I'm writing a fic where Percy comforts Hazel about the prophecy and how she thinks she's too young. You know, because she's 13 and Percy was told he would save the world at age 12? It's only friendship though.

Oh, and I was looking at some old photos. I was really cute when I was little :). I need to make a scrapbook or something, because they're just sitting in a box. Hey, I need an Art class to graduate, and I hate art, don't like doing things in front of large amounts (or even small amounts) of people (dance,Choir, theatre) so I might just do photography.

Until next time.

DEMIGOD DIARIES!!!!!!!

Okay, who else saw Sammy Keyes and the Power of Justice Jack's cover? Looks different, huh? But i like it, and Wendelin's speech/post was really inspiring. She's been doing different artwork for the past few books..okay, she's only done different covers for 2 books. But still, i kinda like the changes, it's like a big wrap up of the series. Which is very depressing. What will i do without Sammy?

Nothing. Cuz I'll be dead.

And did anyone else hear about the DEMIGOD DIARIES!!!!!!!???????

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was reading this fanfic, and in the author's note she asked if anyone else heard about the Demigod Diaries that was coming out. So I looked it up.

And I screamed. 

Check this out: http://www.amazon.com/Heroes-Olympus-Demigod-Diaries/dp/1423163001

I can't breathe. here's the summery if you were too lazy to click on the link:

What dangers do runaway demigods Luke and Thalia face on their way to Camp Half-Blood? Are Percy and Annabeth up to the task of rescuing stolen goods from a fire-breathing giant who doesn't take kindly to intruders? How exactly are Leo, Piper, and Jason supposed to find a runaway table, dodge a band of party-loving Maenads (who just might be a little psychotic), and stave off a massive explosion...all in one hour or less?

With his trademark wit and creativity, Rick Riordan answers these questions and more in three never-before-seen short stories that provide vital back-story to the Heroes of Olympus and Percy Jackson books. Original art, enlightening character interviews and illustrated profiles, puzzles, and a quiz add to the fun in this action-packed collection that is sure to delight legions of loyal fans.

Who else just fainted. Aren't we all wondering/hoping for some Thalia/Luke on the run time. We need answers man!!! We need some Percy/annabeth questing as a couple, right?! And Leo, piper and Jason?! How come they get to go on TWO adventures, unlike hazel, Percy and Frank? BUT ITS STILL SUPER COOL!!!!!

....What if it's a scam.... I'd cry. But it's on AMAZON! if you can't trust Amazon (the online store, NOT Kenzie and Hylla), who can you trust, right? but it also says Power of justice jack is coming out in July.... hmmmmm.



Now, I'm not sure if you already knew this, and I'm the last to know, but this is the news i just HAD to share with the world.

I love you all, and have a good night!

It's Robin Hood! It's Red Robin! No! It's RICK RIORDAN!!!!!!

Shocked.

I just saw Rick Riordan and the Son of Neptune on TV (Disney).  My sister said
"It's Rick Riordan!" I thought she said "It's Robin hood!" then I changed my mind and thought she said "It's Red Robin!" So I'm all like, "whatever" then i saw him. I screamed like a little girl and tackled her to the ground as she punched me- all out of excitement and i screamed as if I was Thalia falling off the Arch. I am still in shock. Completely shocked. Percy Jackson needs to be on TV...well it's kinda obvious it might be on Disney. the publisher is Disney Hyperion.

Just thought you'd like to know.
 It made my life.

PERCY JACKSON FOR LIFE!!!!!!

I'm completely having the PJO and SK books lined up in the front row at my wedding.

Good news: Did I tell you about how i bombed my essay on To Kill a Mockingbird? Well i did, and she said a lot of people who did had their grades drop dramatically, so I figured I had to redo it and do the extra credit (with was to use a real Greek hero or make up your own and make a myth....I was going to ask her if i could use Percy Jackson :)) But........I STILL HAVE AN 'A' IN THAT CLASS!!!!!!!! Miracle!!!!!! Just thought I'd let you know.

I am currently obsessed with Foster the People, 'Lights' by Ellie Goulding, Coldplay and Arcade Fire. Great bands!!!

I really need to work on my fanfics. :/

That's it. I gotta watch a show then go to bed so i can wake up at 5 am. *Sigh* I just wanted to let you know my crazy spaz about seeing rick on TV. That's it.
