Dreams
OK, do you guys have some really weird dreams? I had one last night. I was at a school where they trained people to be assassins, ninjas, sharpshooters, etc. Anyway, my friends were in the dream and Ann (loves reading and does it every spare second she has) was reading and I was like, "watcha reading?" Then all of a sudden, a huge spike came out of the book and tried to kill me. Then my other friend tried to kill me with a piano wire. Then I was sitting in class when a battle ax flew through the window and it almost hit me. I was like, "what the heck?" My friend Claire threw it and I, being a sharp shooter, shot her. Then she died. That's when I woke up. I thought my dream was real and I was like, "I killed Claire!" I was actually crying. Then I went to school and I was late because I was looking for my gun (even though i don't have one). Then I went into the class and Claire was like, "where were you fool?!" I was like, "aren't you suppose to be dead?" Then I was like, "OMFG IT WAS A DREAM!!!!!!" God I feel so stupid. Hahehehehe.

Struck By Lightning (Movie Review)
Wello-Hello my Good Fellows,
I just finished watching this great dark comedy on Netflix, "Struck by Lightning." I'm not going to go into much detail on what it's about because I think it's one of those movies that's better to go into not knowing.
It's NR (Not Rated), but I would personally rate it as PG-13, mainly for profanity. It is in some ways a tragedy, but it also has a comedic element.
Overall, I think it's a fantastic movie. All I'll tell you is that it's about a dedicated young boy who wants to become the editor of The New Yorker, but has many challenges along the way, such as a dysfunctional mother. The story is about how he blackmailed his peers to write for his literary magazine. I strongly recommend this movie.
Although I loved this movie, there were a few monologues performed by the main character that sounded corny and overused. Otherwise I feel the writer, Chris Colfer, has written a successful movie and will get better with practice. Here's the trailer:

The Gnome Chronicles Chapter 7
"Fine!" you agree bitterly. "I'll train with you for as long as it takes me to wake up! When do we start?" Cedric's face lit up. "Tomorrow, so we better get some sleep."
He makes up bundles and piles of fabric scraps in which you are to sleep. "Don't worry, it's only temporary. We'll have to think of something else. Maybe we can go down to the markets in the bay area and pick up a mattress." After hearing this, you curl up into your fabric scrap bed and go to sleep.
A crack of sunlight comes ekes its way through a tiny window onto your eye. You see Cedric rustling about all over the place mumbling to himself. "Oh your awake! Perfect!" Before you can reply, a piece of toast is shoved into your mouth and you're whisked out the door.
"First, let me show you the rest of my village and introduce you to some of my friends." Cedric drags you along by the wrist. "This path leads to the central part and the market place:
"Oh, and living in that house is my good friend, Niles. There he is, watering his plants!
"Let's go say 'hi.'" Cedric drags you over to the nearby garden. "Mornin' Niles."
Niles looks up. "Oh hello there, Cedric. Don't mind me, I'm just trying to revive my daisies after what that pesky chipmunk did. My efforts appear to be futile, unfortunately." "Aww, that's a shame. Hey, I'd like you to meet my friend here." Cedric shoves you in Niles' direction. "Um hello." Niles holds out his hand, "Pleasure to meet you. I'm sure you'll find Cedric to be most interesting company. You two ought to be off now, the morning market won't stay open forever." Cedric nodded, "thanks Niles."
With that, Cedric leads you further down the path.

The Gnome Chronicles Chapter 6
You have many questions. You decide to ask about everything you can. "Why did you bring me here? Oh my gosh! My parents are going to worry!" Cedric chuckled, "I brought you here to try to gain your alliance with the gnomes. You're parents will be fine. You'll have to trust me on that one." This doesn't make much sense to you.
"Oh dear, I'm afraid I've confused you even more. You see, the evil lord Smouldamort I was telling you about has begun to make attacks on magical beings. Many gnomes, such as myself, work with the MPFSPMB, Magical Police Force Sworn to Protect Magical Beings. Whenever Smouldamort makes an attack, the gnomes of that area are alerted and try to guide refuges to safe houses protected by other members of the force. Such places may be a small store in the underground train stations or even an old lighthouse tower."
"But why me? Why would you want my allegiance?" "Well, honestly, I saw you first. You're luckythat I did. I have decided to train you. You see, every human has the ability to awaken their magical power. Few ever do so, but that's no reason for you not to. I will teach you everything I know about the magical arts. Then you can return to your human form and train with someone else. I haven't decided whom you will train with yet, but-"
"Don't I get a say in this?" you say angrily. "Do you not wish to develop magical powers?" "Well, of course I do, but I can't just drop my entire life and devote myself to magic; I have friends, families, and dreams to fulfill."
Cedric looked dumbfounded. "Do you know what Smouldamort did last month? He blew up an entire magical school. Fortunately, no one was killed. I want you to train, rally a magical party, become the next Merlin, and defeat Smouldamort! Otherwise the world may come to an end!"
"Don't you think you're being a tad melodramatic? I'm sure I'm not the best person to bring down Smouldamort. I still think this is all a dream. Wouldn't it be better to recruit someone who already has lots of magical training? Or even believes in magic as their reality?"
"Perhaps it would," replied Cedric. "I turned on my TV one day and watched The Sound of Music." "You have a TV?" You interjected. "Well what did you think?! I don't live under a rock! The TV is in the corner." He pointed to a fair-sized box TV sitting on a stand made of clay. "Anyway, I was watching The Sound of Music when one of the songs gave me hope. It was the lines, 'Let's start at the very beginning, it's a very good place to start.' It made me realize that I needed a fresh plan and a fresh mind. You have a fresh mind. Come on! We're at the very beginning, it's up to you to continue!"

The Gnome Chronicles Chapter 5
"Those were rather sad stories," you respond with new-found somberness. "Yes, I suppose they were. Though time heals all wounds, remember; scars may remain, but they feel pain only when you're vain."
"I've never heard that saying before." "I suppose it could be considered more of a riddle," Cedric smiled. "Try to figure out the meaning of it." As you ponder it, Cedric shouts, "Oh look! There's my house!
"I've never heard that saying before." "I suppose it could be considered more of a riddle," Cedric smiled. "Try to figure out the meaning of it." As you ponder it, Cedric shouts, "Oh look! There's my house!
"It's a good thing too; the sun has nearly finished setting." "Um, which one is your house?" "Oh, mine is the mushroom shaped one with the blue top."
"Wait a minute, I thought gnomes ate mushrooms. Now you're telling me you live in one?" Cedric laughed, "No of course not! We just decorate our houses to look like mushrooms because you have to admit, mushrooms are very aesthetically pleasing. My roof is actually made out of wood; I painted it blue using blueberry dye. We wouldn't live in real mushrooms. If we did, I don't think Sir Benji Fluffingtons would be too happy. And you won't like him when he's not happy."
Inside Cedric's mushroom home is much larger that how it looks on the outside. In the corner, there's what appears to be a small bed made out of twigs, dandelion fluff, and a couple scraps of fabric. The room is dimly lit by a small, beeswax candle on top of a shelf.
There's an entire wall of wooden shelves, which hold everything from potion bottles to cauldrons to extra flower petals. In the center of the room stands a round table covered by a sheet of white silk.
"You have a lovely home, Cedric." "Why thank you. Now that we're here, I can answer all of your questions."
Were you able to figure out the meaning of the riddle? Do you have any questions for Cedric? If so, please let us know in a comment below.

The Gnome Chronicles Chapter 4
"You know who? Don't try to get me to believe Voldemort is real; I won't fall for it!" you say somewhat bitterly. "No, no, I was talking about Merlin, The Mighty and Powerful. Everyone knows about him, except apparently you," Cedric replies nonchalantly.
"Oh, I do know about Merlin! I didn't know he was real, but I'm not really a strong believer in reality at this point...So there's no evil, dark lord trying to destroy the magical realm? Well at least I know I'm not in some wackadoo movie then."
"Well, there is Death, but he's a part of a different story so we won't have to worry about him in this blog series." "Hmmm?" "We will have to worry about Smouldamort though."
"Smouldamort...seriously...." "Don't laugh! He'll come for you next!" "OK! I am so confused right now! Tell me about Lord Alfie, Merlin, and 'Smouldamort.'"
"Alright, little Miss Bossy-pants, here is my recollection of their history:
"Lord Alfie: The first stake war was a war started by western kingdoms against vampires. It was instigated by the great wizard Drudwyn, Merlin's brother. Lord Alfie, a great vampire and good friend of Merlin's, asked Merlin to join the war fighting for the side of the vampires. Merlin did so, but in secret for he would be fighting against Camelot and his dear brother. King Arthur's court never found out about Merlin's treason, but Drudwyn did. Ever since, there has been an ongoing feud between Merlin and his brother. Lord Alfie fought to try and show the world that vampires are not horrible creatures. Most of what people know about them is poppycock. Unfortunately, during the war, Sir Gareth of Orkney drew Lord Alfie threw the heart with a stake, which incidentally would kill anyone. Lord Alfie led the vampires through the stake war, and acted almost as a sovereign over them. All he wanted was to protect his kind. May he rest in peace.
"Merlin: Merlin is the most powerful warlock the world has ever known. Not much else to say there.
"Drudwyn: Drudwyn is Merlin's younger brother. He felt vampires were evil because one once attacked his son and turned him into a vampire. Drudwyn was also a great wizard and a good person. He jumped to the conclusion that all vampires were evil because of what happened to his son; that was his mistake.
"And those are the stories of Lord Alfie, Merlin, and Drudwyn."
"Oh, I do know about Merlin! I didn't know he was real, but I'm not really a strong believer in reality at this point...So there's no evil, dark lord trying to destroy the magical realm? Well at least I know I'm not in some wackadoo movie then."

The Gnome Chronicles Chapter 3
You're still confused about everything. "Why is it that no sane person has claimed to see a gnome?" you ask. "Well that's poppycock! Many sane humans have seen gnomes. Many people who are lucky enough to meet us decide to keep quiet. Others, like that guy on TV a few weeks ago, claim they've seen gnomes and end up in the white room. It's a delicate system, really."
Cedric begins climb over a fallen log. "Come on now, we must arrive at the village before nightfall." "W-why, what happens at nightfall?" "Nothing too bad, just a few other creatures like to lurk about, creatures probably with whom you are unfamiliar."
After climbing, jumping, and running for what seems like hours, you ask, "How far away is your village exactly?" "Well we would be rather far away, I suppose. You see, I had used teleportation powder to travel to our meeting spot originally. Unfortunately, I forgot to purchase more at the market yesterday and I used up the last of it." "Teleportation powder?" "Oh yes! It's a soft, light blue powder that you can use for teleportation; you sprinkle it on yourself and say your desired location.
"It's quite ingenious. It was first concocted by Lord Alfie during the first Stake War and later perfected by you know who."
