Did you know my little sis is an author? Neither did I.
Just for fun, I asked Luthien some author-ish stuff. Here are her answers.
Her writing name: Kaia-mii
Genre: Science Fiction
Book that she's working on now: 'Chin-chin and Me"
Main characters: Tristan
---------------------------------------------------
LOL! The rest of what she said was sort of indecipherable. Even though she's 4, sometimes it's hard to understand her.

Hee-hee, this is fun!
I'm typing this on September 15. So hello out there, everyone from the future!
I will post 5 random things about me that were true at the time of September 15, 2009 at 4:58 PM.
1. I'm scheduling a lot of posts, because I might not have time to do it when Dad's having his treatment.
2. Galdor, Luthien, and Mom are playing outside on the cul-de-sac. Yes, we live in a sub-division. We have woods behind our house, though.
3. I'm wearing a tie-dye T-shirt and khaki shorts.
4. My right arm has little to no reflexes. The nerves got damaged when I was being born. Funny thing is, I'm right handed. Which makes me horrible at dodge ball. Also makes me have nearly all the scars from oven burns on my right hand.
5. I just finished reading the book 'Fly By Night', by Frances Hardinge. I posted a review a few days ago, but back here in the past, I just read it.
There! Now you know five more things about me.
By the way...
What's that standing behind you?
Haha, made you look! (I think)

Stayed up 'till midnight...but it was worth every second!!!! (aka Movie Review)
We FINALLY watched The Fellowship of the Ring last night!! We had to wait until nine or so for Luthien and Galdor to go to bed. And then...we watched it. I suppose I'll do an official review.
'The Fellowship of the Ring'
When Bilbo Baggins vanishes on his 111 birthday, he leaves a mysterious ring of power behind to his nephew, Frodo. Gandalf the Wizard, an old friend of Bilbo's, doesn't know much about the ring except for that it is dangerous and must be kept hidden from all eyes. More research about the ring reveals that it will be the end of Middle Earth, unless Frodo can destroy it in the place where it came from--Mordor.
Frodo and three friends, Sam, Pippin, and Merry, set out to deliver the ring to whoever can destroy it, and find that this ring has even bigger importance than they had realized. When they reach Rivendell, it is decided that Frodo himself will bear the ring, and that two men, Aragorn and Boromir, an elf named Legolas, a dwarf named Gimli, and Gandalf the Wizard will all accompany them. Thus starts the Fellowship of the Ring...
You must watch it.
With that said, I'll be more official. It was wonderful!! Now I understand what everyone else was raving about.
Good stuff: There's a lot of close friendship and awesome fight scenes. I really liked the Ringwraiths (not that it's my style or anything, they just did a good job of looking really creepy and evil). I greatly enjoyed finally seeing the movie that I had been dying to see for years, and I must say, it certainly was an awesome movie in a whole lot of ways.
There is some cautionary stuff, though (yes, I know this seems longer than the good stuff...but it really isn't): First of all, Aragorn and Arwen kiss. I see what people mean when they say that Arwen is definitely not as pure in the movie as in the books. And I could understand why Dad and Mom didn't want me and Erestor to watch it until we had reached the ages we are (also I think it was a good idea to send Galdor and Luthien to bed. Luthien wouldn't even watch parts of 'The Princess Bride') There's some brief torture scenes, and the bad guys are very real looking. I actually enjoyed the part where Aragorn lopped off the Uruk-Hai's (I think I spelled that right) head, but that could also be sort of disturbing.
I must say, I didn't close my eyes during the movie at all!! I also managed to not cry until the ending part (s). I'm usually the last to cry during movies, and if you ask any of my friends, they would most likely say that I'm not a crying type of person.
At the place where we do archery, there was one girl (she's not likely to appear on this blog very much, so I won't bother to give her a name) that said Erestor reminded her of Pippin. I definitely see the resemblence (haha). They even look somewhat alike!!
And now I'm going back to bed.

Answers to some questions that were asked:
Eldarwen: I love Fellowship of the Ring, but I think my overall favorite (talking books) is The Two Towers, too! Also, for the band-thing, we sing mostly Celtic or Contemporary Christian music (that also answers part of Saerwen's question also)
The other half on answering Saerwen's question: Yep, we're planning on a CD. I'm so excited!

Miscellaneous Stuff (all neatly numbered!)
#1. I haven't been posting much of my Elandai book, have I! Sorry about that, but I've decided to put my attention to two writing projects: Sarea, and the script for the movie my friends and I are making. I'm NOT quitting Elandai, but I'm just telling you not to expect a whole bunch of chapters.
#2. The singing group I'm in recorded for the first time today!!!
#3. Songaia (the next third of my book) is going good! I have so many characters that it's hard to keep track of them now.
#4. WE'RE GOING TO WATCH LORD OF THE RINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, but I'm SO excited!!!! We got 'The Fellowship of the Rings' from Netflix in the mail yesterday. We're planning to watch it on Friday night. Luthien and Galdor are going to be in bed while we watch it (they're too young) so Erestor and I are trying hard not to mention watching a movie in front of them.
