New Facebook Page!

Hey everyone!
I just wanted to let you know that I made a new Facebook page as a tribute to all my fandoms. I did not expect much here but I thought I'd give it a try. I'm all for new admins so if you are a fan of Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, the Hunger Games, and especially Star Wars I'd love to add you in. I know some of the regular readers here love a lot them and also Pirates, my newest fandom. Just comment below if you're willing to be admin!
This page is basically something to make you smile everyday. All of the posts aren't going to be related to the fandoms. Some of them will just be from 9gag or maybe sometimes a new music video I like, but most of them are about Star Wars and my other fandoms.
Right now I'd love to have new likes and then I guess I have to dig through my collection of Star Wars pictures and start posting...

In addition to that I also got this. These are the rules.


Rules:
1. Post the Rules and the picture
2. Link back to  Padmé Arya Éowyn Istalrí Skywalker @ The Ultimate Star Wars Blog and the person who gave you this award
3. Answer the questions
4. Share your favorite Star Wars picture(s)
5. Give the award to one other Star Wars blogger that you like

The Phantom Menace.

3. Who is responsible for you seeing Star Wars?
My brother, as much as I hate to say it.

4. What is the first Star Wars thing you owned?
The Force Unleashed book.

5. What made you become a fan?
I don't know, really. It's like I'm drawn to it like the Force draws something. I don't even know when I started becoming a fan. It's like I've always known that Star Wars is a part of me. Back then a was in a closed world, and I don't know much about internet. It was when I had Facebook and discovered that there's an Ahsoka page that I realized I can connect with others, which made me become a die-hard fan. I found I can discuss the books and movies. 

6. Why did you decide to blog about Star Wars?
A link from the Ahsoka page to the blog Padawan's Journal, which linked to other blogs until I decided to make one and become a Star Wars blogger.

7. Which movie is your favorite?
I can't choose...

8. Who is you favourite character?
Ahsoka or Obi-Wan.

9. Favourite villian?
Darth Vader. He conveys the symbol, and in the end he turned good, which strengthened my belief that everyone has good in them and can be redeemed.

10. What do you think of the Clone Wars cartoons?
They are awesome. 'Nuff said.

11. Which Star Wars book is your favorite?
ROTS adult novelization by Matthew Woodring Stover.

12. If you could pick a group from Star Wars to be in (e.g. Jedi, Sith, Bounty Hunters, Senators, etc.) which you choose?
JEDI!

13. Would you join the Rebel Legion/501st Legion if you had a costume and/or were the right age?
YES! Of course.

14. Have you ever been to a Star Wars Weekend or Celebration? If so, describe you experience there.
No... sadly. I'm still mulling over it. 

15. Have you ever met any Star Wars people (actors, George Lucas, John Williams, etc.)?
No, which made me wanna head slam.

16. Prequel Trilogy or Original Trilogy?
Prequel, unlike most people. Neither can live while the other survive, even though that's Harry Potter, the meaning applies here. 

17. Jedi or Sith?
Jedi!

18. Do you read Star Wars Insider Magazine?
No, there's none in my country. Sadly.

19. What is your favourite song/score from any of the six movies?
Hard to choose. Really hard. Force theme, I guess.

20. Which character do you most identify with (not who is your favouritewho are you most like)?
Siri Tachi when she was a child. Tom-boyish, athletic sometimes, impatient. Though I get straight A's, and I don't know about her.

21. What is your favourite non-human species in Star Wars?
Togruta.

22. Do you think Padmé could possibly have been Force-sensitive?
No, sadly.

23. Who is your favourite Expanded Universe character?
Siri Tachi.

24. What lightsaber is your favorite?
Qui-Gon for style, if that's what you mean. Ventress's for lightsaber form.

All three of them, though I'm not fluent yet.

26. Which lightsaber duel from the movies is your favorite?
Anakin and Obi-Wan's. Heart breaking, intense, and awesome.

27. What creature is your favorite?
Mynocks.

28. Which is your favourite costume?
Jedi.

29. What is your favourite Star Wars quote?
Hard to choose. Probably the Jedi Code.

30. What is on your Star Wars wish list?
Everything I don't have. Which is basically everything except a few books.

Wow that took longer than I expected... but it was fun. I gotta hurry with homework now. Thanks again!

I'm awarding this to... hard to choose. I narrowed down to Aalya and Shena, then I closed my eyes and chose Shena. Sorry, Aalya, I'll award you next time, promise. :)

May the Force be with you!

A Short Update on me

I don't know if you think these kind of posts are boring or not. To me, it's not. You may not be a famous person I sometimes I like reading about your life and relate to it. So I'm going to tell you a bit of mines...

I'm still my usual self- more or less. A crazy Star Wars nerd reading Lord of the Rings again, and thinking about how many points I can earn for my Harry Potter house team on Facebook. 

This year I'm in eighth grade. School started three weeks or so ago and I'm happy. I missed one point in becoming the president of middle school, which is a shame, but I'm still me. I don't get to choose an elective because I got a good grade in math last year and my mom wants me to learn extra math for advanced. Did I mention how much I hate math? But I'm still me. I'm fond of that saying.

My classes are all very easy as usual, except French and PE. I got a new teacher for PE. With him I already twisted my knee and hit my head with a basketball and had a black eye. Seriously. 

On the bright side, I got a new laptop- a macbook pro, which is awesome. I named it My Precious Datapad- My Precious from Gollum's famous saying, and Datapad from Star Wars (Duh). I got my brother's hand-me-down phone, which is the first time EVER I had a phone with a touch screen. Now I can listen to Call me Maybe or Payphone or any of my favorite songs easily. On the down side, my mother gave him a Samsung Galaxy S III. I'm pretty surprised I'm not jealous. Maybe it was because of getting the laptop, but he also got a new one entering a new grade. My laptop costs twice his does, though.

I discovered a new interest: Ping Pong. As a child, I trained for ping pong. I was talented in it, but then I stopped playing when I went to Africa. I won one competition then. Now, the school has new tables so I decided to join the boys playing. It really made my happy- like I'm discovering a lost piece of me that has been buried since I was that happy and carefree child. Goodness, I'm not even a teen yet and I'm already saying I miss my childhood. I'm happy to say that I didn't loose my skills that much and I can still beat 'em all, much to the pleasure of my teachers, since I'm like the only girl playing.

There will be a ping pong competition in my school this Monday. I can't wait. I'm already pumped up, I trained a bit more with my father, and I'm looking forward to it. I can't deny that I'm a but apprehensive though.

So that's my life so far summed up. I have petty problems with my brother and with my mom (by the way, I learnt never to open my mouth when she's angry), but I'm still me. May the Force be with me for the ping pong competition, and may the Force be with you... always.

One more thing: Always. I noticed it's in all my favorite fandoms.

"Always," said Snape.
"... always," said Obi-Wan.
"Always," said Peeta.
"Always..." said Gandalf.

It has become my favorite word. ^_^ Okay, shutting up now. Until next time, farewell...

My Edits #7 :)

Hey guys! For me, school has started like, three weeks ago and I feel like all my work has been slouching- including posts on my blog. So. I'm finally doing a fan art post- something I haven't done for a month. Thanks to Robyn, as always, for looking at them. I decided to upload my original work as well as some of the ones edited on her advice, but only if they have a pretty big difference since I can't upload many pictures due to faulty connection. Here we go!

This one is dedicated for you, Shena :) I love the Siriwan couple.


I noticed there was a Jedi Order Symbol with a lightsaber glow and a I love Star Wars picture with a death star heart on it, but no I love Star Wars with a lightsaber glow. So I did one with a lightsaber glow with all the known lightsaber colors. The purple of Mace Windu is hardly seen, though.

You regular readers would know how much I love Ahsoka. So here's a desktop background I made for other Ahsokaholics.

With the suggestion Robyn gave me... it looked better. You can even put the icons on the right. Yay!


I was trying to make a lightsaber glow, failing miserably but giving interesting results.

Better.

I tried to make this piece confusing and painful to show Vader's emotions. Turned out pretty good. Robyn and I are still working on a better version.

I drew this on photoshop.

If you know me enough, you'd know I love Taylor Swift. So here's one edit of her.

Another one. I love this quote so much.


She's so pretty like a fairy! I wanted to upload one of her with fairy wings (Robyn suggested that) but... bad connection.

That's it for now... May the Force be with you!
