Lilah’s School of Supernatural Creatures part one

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hello nerds, geeks, and dorks! Elle here with the first part of a story I’m writing about supernatural creatures and magic. I hope you guys enjoy it!

I bet you’re wondering how you stumbled on this. You did because you are one of us. A supernatural creature. Like me and my friends. If you can make it to the end of the story, you’ll find out what I’m talking about.

I’ve always been a little different. Kids in my class would chase each other around the playground while I hid in the woods, listening to the trees. Everyone thought I was crazy, but I knew that they were the odd ones and that I was as normal as someone could be. The trees reminded me of that.

That’s why I was ready to leave my hometown and go to The Old City for Lilah’s School of Supernatural Creatures. I was excepted into the school because of me talking to trees. The Headmaster said that I was a Nymph, but it’s up to me to explain that to my classmates and teachers. My first reaction was ”Great! I have to tell the whole school how weird I am.” but, then I thought “Why not let them figure it out?” So, here we are! At Lilah’s School, ready for day one.

Emoji review: sparkling heart

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hello nerds, geeks, and dorks. Elle here. I found Madeline doing a similar review for the Stack of books emoji on her blog and wanted to try reviewing this one: 💖

Apple

I love the shadows under the sparkles. I use this one everywhere. 8/10

Google

I like how it has more sparkles and little balls. 7/10

Microsoft

I really like how simple this one is! I don’t love the black outline, but it’s still nice. 8/10

Samsung

A lot like the Apple one. I like how the sparkles are bigger and the heart a bit shorter. 9/10

WhatsApp

This ones. Interesting? I don’t really love the coloring and the sparkles are wonky looking. I think if they had the large one on top it would look better. 6/10

Twitter

It looks like someone took the WhatsApp one and made it really simple. I kinda like the reddish color, but the sparkles are still off. 7/10

Facebook

The color’s nice, but I don’t love the shape of the sparkles. 5/10

I hope you guys enjoy! What’s your favorite emoji? Leave a comment bellow, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

My five things

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hello nerds, geeks, and dorks. Elle here. I found this tag (I’ve been doing a ton of tags) on Rebecca’s blog. She tagged anyone and I needed some posts, so here we go.

Five things that have been getting me through quarantine

  • Blogging/podcasting- I’ve enjoyed being able to still put my stuff out there and share my voice even during these stupid times.
  • The internet/Technology- I’ve been able to “hang out” with my cousin over FaceTime, put together two podcasts, and listen to a ton of books!
  • Disney+- I can watch as many Disney movies or shows which is great. They’ve also been releasing some movies early because of quarantine.
  • Libby- Because libraries are closed, Libby is one of my most used apps, I get to listen to audio books and read a bunch of books!
  • My mom’s iPad- Procreate is a gift for digital artists. My mom lets me use her iPad to draw stuff for here!

Five blogs to check out

  • I blog– She isn’t lying when she says she blogs a little bit of everything. I only found her today (at the time of writing this), but she’s super cool!
  • Karleen– Her blog is only getting up and running, but she’s the same type of blogger as me, books and art.
  • Beck– I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, Beck is awesome! She’s one of the first book bloggers I’ve interacted with and inspired me to just be my weird self!
  • Madeline– I’ve mentioned Madeline before too. She’s another book blogger (No wonder I turned into a bit of a book blog, almost all of my favorite blogs are book blogs!) and is really fun.
  • Jaedyn– I met Jaedyn on Camp NaNo earlier. We have most of the same interests (Blogging, theater, writing, and Pinterest) so we bonded and kinda became internet friends.

Five foods I love

  • Chocolate chip cookies! Especially my moms. She makes the best cookies, cakes, tarts. I could keep going!
  • Spaghetti- It was always my favorite growing up (still is). It just has a bunch of good memories.
  • Ice cream- It’s ice cream. You can make a bunch of yummy stuff with it and it’s delicious.
  • PBJ sandwiches- we have these all the time and they’re always super good.
  • Apples- my favorite fruit. I love to chop them up and get a spoonful of peanut butter.

Five places I’d love to visit

  • All the Disney parks- I love Disney, but I’ve only been to Disneyland and Disneyworld and I’d love to see Disneyland Paris.
  • Salt Lake City- What can I say? I love High School Musical and it would be super cool to see East High.
  • New York- I’m quite a theater nerd and it would be AMAZING to go to New York.
  • Greece- I love Greek myths. I’d love to see a bunch of the buildings and statues.
  • Scotland- It would be really epic to see the Highland Games in Scotland. Plus there’s castles.

Five favorite books

  • Lost Hero- Rick Riordan
  • Geekerella- Ashley Poston
  • Better Nate than ever- Tim Federle
  • Drum roll, please!- Lisa Jenn Bigelow
  • The Ship of the Dead- Rick Riordan

So there’s that… I hope you guys enjoy. Leave a comment bellow, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

Reading habits tag

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hello nerds, geeks, and dorks. Elle here. I’ve noticed that I’ve turned into more of a book blog than an art blog. I mean, I still post my art, but I post more book stuff than art stuff now. Whoops.

I found this tag at A Geek Girl’s Guide. She was tagging everyone, so I decided to give it a try!

Bookmarks or random pieces of paper?

Whatever’s nearby. I have a huge collection of bookmarks, but I forget to use them. Or lose them in the middle of the night and have to find a piece of paper before I lose my spot.

Stop reading randomly or stop after a chapter/certain amount of pages?

After a chapter! Or the whole book…

Certain place at home for reading?

My bed. I do most things on my bed, including school, even though I have a desk.

Eat or drink while eating?

Not usually.

Music or tv while reading?

I love listening to music, but I can’t always focus on the book.

One book at a time or several?

HAHAHAHA

I should read only one but then I start another and another and another.

Reading at home or everywhere?

I can and will read anywhere and everywhere. I bring some form of book with me everywhere.

Reading out loud or silently?

Silently. I do read my sister a story every night, though.

Do you ever read ahead or skip pages?

I try not to, but if I want to get to a specific part (Alex bites my face off) I’ll skip ahead.

Breaking the spine or keeping it like new?

Breaking the spine. It makes the book feel more loved. I remember when my dad got me The Lightning Thief, it was super worn and ripped. I thought that it would be a good book because of that fact. So, worn covers are better because they’ve been read more.

So that happened. I hope you guys enjoy. Leave a comment bellow, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!
