A post of various things..

Hey guys! and, er, gals ;)
Okay so first things first :
Phillip Phillips won American Idol!!! YAY!!! He deserved it. Phil's attitude was just so... humble, and he was never trying to please anyone; he was just up there because he loves music. You will be an amazing artist, Phil Phillips, and I am SO ahead of everyone else in pre-ordering your first album.
And I love you wayyyyy more than those screaming fan girls because I actually keep quiet when you begin to sing ;). And I love your impeccable sense of style.
Here's I think my favorite song he sings ( it's entitled "Home"). And does anyone else think he sounds like Mumford&Sons? I love them, by the way. This song is beautiful. I hope he sings a TON more like this.

Then second thing.... I won Sierra Abrams' ( @YearningToRead - if you haven't already checked her out, DO IT!) giveaway for Ordinary Magic by Caitlin Rubino-Bradway!!! It's so exciting, this is my first giveaway ever won. :) And plus I can't wait to read the book!!! Thanks so much, Sierra!!

Thing #3 : Have you ever watched the series Sherlock? Because if you are over 13 (or a very mature 12) you must watch them. It's a modern day twist on Sir Conan Doyle's awesome books, 21-st century style. It stares Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock Holmes) and Martin Freeman (John Watson) (who coincidentally play Smaug -- the voice of-- and Bilbo :D ) They are amazing together. Benedict is stunning and lovable in the role, and Martin is just awesome. The first season is relatively clean, sprinkled with some language and a couple references.. and the violence, while there isn't much, when there is, they make it pretty realistic looking. So he get's shot, there will be blood. The second season began with a not so positive note : Irene Adler is a sex centered character, resulting in some not so good discussions and there is a nude scene( her arms and hands cover any sensitive parts) and it only around 2 minutes long. That episode is entitled "A Scandal in Belgravia", but overall (please don't judge me) it was probably one of the best if you can look past all that junk. So yes, that one is wayyyyyy mature. Just have the remote ready. Then the rest have violence, and some mild cussing, plus some might be disturbed that the main bad guy ( Jim Moriarty) is completely mad, and it sometimes it disturbing to watch.
And, the end to Season 2. O.o It was very, very, very frustrating to know that we have to wait over a year for Season 3. Ergh. It was such a cliff hanger. But I think my wise sister figured it out. Gotta wait and see...... and while I'm on this subject, do you like???????????? It was very fun to draw :)

BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH AS SHERLOCK!!!!

And, finally, Thing #4. I am going on a Youth Group trip tomorrow, and that should be a bunch of fun, but please keep us in your prayers, that we'll be safe :).
ADIEU! J.A.M.
