May the 4th be with you!

      I've decided to do a few posts this week in the honor of May the 4th and Revenge of the 5th. I'll post some slightly embarrassing mid-puberty photos of myself decked out in Star Wars outfits in the days to come:) For today, here's what this universe has meant to me:

      Star Wars has been prevalent in my life since I was a child. My dad was a HUGE fan and instilled that joy into my own life. I was meant to be a geek, and with Star Wars as the first thing I got into, I knew life was going to be great! Star wars has given me a deep connection with my father, bonding over trips to Star Wars Conventions, and him helping me start my own collection of figurines and posters. Star Wars also taught me patience, and how to deal with loss. It geared me into a life of art. Watching videos on how they came up with characters pushed me to pursue a life drawing the infinite ideas I had on the inside. I believe Luke's personality inspired my own growth in confidence, and I couldn't have imagined the opportunities I now get to take part in because of trusting my instincts.

Quick Update!

      SOOO besides the normal tv discussion and Fandom Friday, I will start putting up book reviews again as I have decided to take up the 2015 Reading challenge along with my 100 Books in a year. The 2015 Reading Challenge that POPSUGAR posted was suggested by a friend and I finally (sorry) got to really read through it, and I decided that it would be PERFECT to help guide the rest of the books I read this year. Basically, some of the list I will mark off if I feel that my previous reads fulfilled the task and the rest will determine future reads. Some examples include: "A Classic Romance" or "A Book with Nonhuman Characters" cool right?

      Also, I am almost done "shelving" all of my books on Goodreads so you can check out stuff I own, more up-to-date stats on my reading challenge, and books I plan to read. If you're a member, you can send me book suggestions (which I would ADORE!!) because who doesn't love having someone else to gush over a book with?

Below is a picture of the 2015 Reading Challenge (you might have to open in a new tab):

Supernatural: Book of the Damned

SPOILERS!!!!!!!

Charlie is back!!!!! Love her.She is a walking talking reference maker...much like someone else I know *couch*me*cough*. She was wearing a Lumberjanes shirt :)))) I should take the time now to apologize for how many references I make in a single conversation, but I won't because it's classic stuff you should know. Anyways..... I'm glad to see Charlie back on the hunt and I hope she's here to stay for a bit. 

Castiel, or should I say BLASTIEL?!?! That library-shredding up after he got his grace back was satisfying to say the least. Metatron is on the loose, just as I hoped. I'm sorry people but I was getting tired of him being locked away. I don't like the guy one bit, but his annoyance grinds Castiel's gears and I do enjoy angry Cas, 

Dean's accepting the mark and Sam's burning books (just not the right ones). SAMMY!!!! Don't trust evil red-headed women!! Those gals aren't to be messed with: Abaddon, anyone that watches Game of Thrones knows how cunning Melisandre is, and now Rowena. Those three could really screw with the world. 

Will the Winchester's ever learn?

Probably not...and I can't use the whole "after they're dead" part of that phrase because we all know they'll find a way out.

Also, sadly we lost Jaap Broeker in January (I didn't realize this until the credits rolled for this episode) and I wanted to pay tribute to this great man. He played many great roles, but the most memorable for me was his role as Yappi in the X Files


reminding me to always stay true to what I believe.

Five Fandom Friday: 5 Magical Items I Would Love To Own

Sorry I'm two days late...things flipped drastically in my life and it's all a bit maddening and confusing. All the more reason to occupy my mind with other things like this.

1. Time Turner- Fixing mistakes I made would be a bonus, but I honestly would use it to watch/finish more tv series haha!!

2. Bilbo's Mithril Shirt- Not that I'm planning on getting stabbed any time soon, but one can't be sure...and it's beautiful.

3. Morgana's Healing Bracelet- This kept her dreams at bay, oh how I would enjoy going to sleep without a thousand thoughts at once.

4. TARDIS- Time travel, again!!! But more people can come with me.

5. Dean's Amulet- okay okay, I know this isn't particularly magical but the reminder that life isn't a burden you carry alone, but others will be there to relieve the pain.

Bippity Boppity BAM there's my list!

5 Fandom Friday: Five Times I Totally Fangirled

I've been following Super Space Chick and The Nerdie Girlie for a bit and I adore their concept of 5 Fandom Friday, so I decided to join in on the fun! I decided to do my own twist on the sign: the salt shaker and match for Supernatural. Sonic Screwdriver, Doctor Who. Lightsaber, Star Wars. And the Pineapple for Psych. 

1. When Shawn and Juliet got together on Psych

...and then coming to find out they're dating in real life!!!!!!!!!!

2. Watching Jensen Ackles as the character Priestly in 10 Inch Hero

Not only does he steal my heart as Dean Winchester but as a punk, pierced sandwich maker :) His attitude about appearances is beautiful and I still haven't gotten over this role yet.

3. Going to see 5SOS in concert last year

4. Reading the ending to Torrent (3rd book in the River Of Time series)

<3<3 Lord Greco <3<3

5. This last season of Walking Dead I geeked out about plots, character development, and symbolism...yeah I'm that kind of fan :)

The Walking Dead: Conquer

SPOILERS SWEETIES !!!

Okay so there was no physical crying on my end tonight, but internally I was crying because Father Gabriel is still alive. This season Finally was a satisfying one to say the least. 

Morgan appears to be the only person in this world that seems truly at peace. Every life is precious. Even men that mean to kill and use him as bait were given the chance to survive, He honked the horn to find out if his coast was clear, and shut the door to give them the option between life and death.

Starting with Glenn and Maggie: Maggie is becoming more like her father everyday. The strength between the two of them is phenomenal, separately making the same decision to spare justifiable bloodshed. Both had reason to kill these betrayers, considering one let walkers in and the other fired their gun, but they chose to keep the blood off of their hands.  What's to come of Nicholas? Glenn's obviously done with him. And did anyone else notice the weird shape on the side of Father Gabriel's hip? Is it a weapon? I really hope not.

Sasha...I found her actions strangely calming. I know, I know. Laying down in a pit of double-deceased walkers could warrant the title of "town lunatic", but her peace is found in this version of the world. She's camouflaged by their smell and hidden from the the vain society that is in need of her protection.

Rick wasn't only leveled by Michonne but sleep brought him back to reality. Good to see justice served at the end, and the Alexandrian's are finally coming to terms with the world's downfall.

Daryl and Aaron about gave me a heart attack tonight. I ADORED the boney woman walker under the trailer. She reminded me of Stephen King's Creepshow. Other than that, Daryl's triple chain whip was everything I never knew I needed. I vote new weapon of choice! It's the little things that make me happy.  The wolves are brilliant in their own strange nature. I like their addition to the story line.  

I can't wait to see what season 6 has in store for us and the gang. And if you didn't get to see the Fear The Walking Dead sneak peak, go watch it! I'm ecstatic to see the beginnings of the apocalypse. Something about sudden zombie home invasion and desperate, overcrowded trips to the store where a can of beans could mean your death...yesss.

Until next season!

*I'll be returning to reviewing lots of other random fandom things with you all in the next week!

The Walking Dead: Try

SPOILERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

So this is a little late, and it might be short, but here we go.
ALL OF THE W's!!! Everywhere carved in the heads of the dead. We finally got some Daryl action, and I was mighty disturbed by the gutted woman tied to the tree. Brilliance in having her wake up! Even more creepy.

So does Nicholas have Rick's blender gun? Glenn's talk was great. For him to be able to control the urge to take revenge, I applaud him.

We had an all-women zombie massacre. Sasha was going off the deep end, which I thought would cause her to leave the group initially. I'm happy that she's not leaving, and that her aggression is being channeled into taming the undead.

Carl's got a girlfriend *insert kissy face*. On the other hand, Rick has some frustration that breaking a window couldn't even solve. How the community turns a blind eye to abuse is unsettling. Someone needs to die, and I vote porch Dick. But Michonne put a stop to Rick's heartfelt reality check...so I guess porch Dick gets to live another week.

I heard that the season finally is going to make us cry, as it did Glenn in next week's preview.
Not ready.
I don't wanna cry.
Does anyone else get uncomfortable when music is playing?
