Of Lightsabers, Awards And Other Miscellaneous Stuff

Hey, everyone! How's it going? Does anyone have any houses I can clean? No, seriously. I've spent the last two days cleaning houses (one due to renovations, the other because some friends of ours were moving -- and that meant we had to clean both of their houses. At least our house is clean.

Barriss on her blog Opine of Mine has awarded me with... *checks stats* The Jedi Master Award! Thanks, Barriss! To accept it, I must answer seven questions.

1. Who is your Jedi Master?

Hmmm. Well, I would like to say Ferus Olin, but since he never made it to Knight, I'll go with Galen Marek.

*receives suspicious stares* What?

2. What is your Jedi name?

*laughs* My real name (not my screen name) is actually used at least three times in the Star Wars Universe, and, yes, one time, it's for a Jedi. (I'm also a Queen, and I can't remember where I read the third one.)

I seem to be in quite the pickle here, as I'm not going to give out my real name. Let's just say my name is Scarlett -- like my Master, I live under code names.

3. What's your lightsaber color?

Blue.

4. What is your home planet?

Onderon. (hinthint)

5. What is the name of your ship?

Well, it's technically not my ship, as Galen refuses to let me fly after that "incident" near the black hole, but I practically live in the Rogue Shadow.

6. Which war do you fight in?

*facepalm* I'm so embarrassed to be saying this, but I can't remember what the war is that takes place in the Original Trilogy. A little help here? I think I'm thinking of the Galactic Civil War...?

7. Who is your worst enemy?

Darth Sidious.

8. Will you stay loyal to the Jedi?

*roguish grin* Look at my Master. I'm no Jedi. Of course I'm not loyal to them.

Now I must award five people.

Leauphaun gets the Jedi Padawan Award, since she'll be accepting this award on her Day In The Life Of An Artist blog, which is much younger than her other blogs. *shouts* You hear me, Leauphaun??

I don't know if Ley Firewalker has been awarded this yet, but I'm giving it to her anyway.

And anyone else who wants to take this, since not all of my follows are into Star Wars.

Here are the guidelines for the award:

In order to win the Jedi Padawan Award, your blog must be 3 months old.

In order to win the Jedi Knight Award, your blog must be at least 8 months old.

In order to win the Jedi Master Award, your blog must be at least a year old.

In order to win the Dark Jedi (Sith) Award, your blog must be at least 7 months old.

Oh, yeah, and Happy Canada Day!!! Eat some poutine in honor of Canada, eh?

Not entirely sure what a penguin has to do with Canada, since penguins live in Antarctica (maybe in honor of Sidney Crosby?), but he is kinda cute.

When Creativity Abounds

Mesa back!

*sighs* Sorry about torturing ya'll with that horrid Jar Jar line, but we are currently loaning The Phantom Menace from the library, and I have too many Jar Jar lines running through my head. The Star Wars universe wouldn't have exploded if that character had never been written in. Would it?

Anyways, I have some very important news to share with all of you:

I have finally recovered from a full month of spazzing out/screaming in my brother's face at very random moments/general weirdness that I seem to have been plagued with.

Why would I be acting like that? (As I'm sure some of you had noticed...) Well, you'll have to wait until my next post (hopefully out later this evening) to figure out the answer to that one out. *evil grin*

Meanwhile, I am very proud to say that I've hit a record high in terms of my creativity. Since June 4th, I've gotten two stories (brand new, not the one that I was talking about several weeks ago) almost completely outlined, and I have more than six thousand words down in one of them. The other will need more time to come together, so I'm planning on leaving it for several weeks/months/however long it takes to come up with a good ending.

Unfortunately, my other stories have all stalled. Okay, okay, so maybe that has something to do with the fact that I haven't opened their files in two weeks, but still!

I've also discovered that I am not very good at finishing stories. I have plenty of almost-done stories hanging around my hard drive, but not one that's been fully completed. Endings and I don't get along very well. Anyone have any tips on actually completing stories?

Oh, one final thing. GO BOSTON GO!!! *ducks random tomato likely thrown by Squeaks*

Right. Forgot I live in enemy territory.

~God Bless~
