Dear Whoever Made Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters Movie... Shame On You.

I'm not kidding. How COULD you? That is on of the most epic books I've ever read and you... You DESTROYED it!!!
You even got the plot wrong. I mean, I'm the kind of person who thinks movies have to be /exactly/ like the book (something which hopefully I can change so I'll stop making death threats), but this was just hideous. 
Even the original Greek myths were butchered. Poseidon didn't kill Kronos, you idiots. And Riptide belonged to Hercules, not Poseidon.
It didn't even follow the plot. 
HOW. WHY??!???
IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL AND YOU KILLED IT.
And even as a movie it was bad, like not even just as a book adaptation. The characters were flat.
Friend: In what way? [Did it not follow the plot?]
Me: He killed Kronos.
Friend: WHAT. What else? Not sure I want to know... But tell me
Me: Basically, if it was in the book, it wasn't in the movie
Friend: Can you be a little more specific?
Me: I'm 100% serious.
Friend: They didn't go to the Sea of Monsters? u_U
Me: They did. For two minutes. And one monster that WASN'T EVER RIGHT.
Friend: *even. Which one was it?
Me The whirlpool one (Charybdis?) BUT THEY DID IT WRONG. They went in her stomach.
Friend: What the heck...No Cerce? No Blackbeard? No guinea Percy?
Me: Nope. Nada. Zilch.
Friend: No Reyna which basically sorta kinda not really sets up Heroes of Olympus?
Me: No Circe's Island AT ALL. TYSON WAS WRONG. He didn't act awesome and adorable. He was "meh" at best. Clarrise was WAY too nice. No Yankee's cap. No chariot races, no demon pigeons. The Mist is now sold in perfume bottles.
Friend: What about Thalia?
Me: Yes, Thalia, but they kinda made her lame. HORRIBLE lines. Like seriously, the script sucked.
There was a lot of forced humor that failed. No Grover trapped on the island. No man eating sheep. No dream about Grocer in a wedding dress. No Lastrygonians. They called the Princess Andromeda just Andromeda and said she was a yacht. SHE'S A CRUISE SHIP FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE. I hated it. I really did. No Sally Jackson. Annabeth's annoying and boring.
Friend: Woooow...

Oh, and I got the Firefly joke. THAT was good.

OMW. I literally said all this before I saw this video, but if you want to know it's not just me who HATES this movie, click here. Thank you, CassJayTuck for understanding me.

Happy Birthday to Me!! ;)

I had a pretty sweet birthday. :) a couple of my friends and I went to Pure Entertainment, which is this huge bounce house place. I had a ton of fun, and they all said it was awesome, so I consider it a success. :D
Plus I got this wonderful present, which I'm probably more excited about than I should be.
IT'S A SONIC SCREWDRIVER!!!


But it's not just a sonic screwdriver. It lights up and makes the sonic screwdriver sound, and  IT'S A PEN. :O 
I seriously have put it down like twice since I got it.

Thanks to all my friends and family who helped make my birthday epic. ^_^

Well, I Stink At Laser Tag...

I went for the first time for Lexi's birthday party. It was so extremely fun, but I fail at it. xP
Birthdays!! :D
Abby and Lexi both had parties last week, both of which were fun. :D
Annnnnd I turn sixteen next week. O_o Weird.
OH!! I got my "restricted licence". I can drive by myself in certain situations and times. I'm not quite sure what those situations and times are, though...
*pause to clean the basement*
*like two hours later* 
-_- 
Am I the only one who has "Really, God? Are you kidding me?" moments? 
Now is totally one of those times. I had today neatly planned out. I was going to freewrite, post on here, write for hours, maybe drink coffee...
And then we went to clean up the basement...
And found mold. It's been raining for like the past month (until today) and apparently we have a leak.
So now the littles and I are chilling at our grandparent's house while Mom and Dad investigate further. 
On the bright side, we'll probably go swimming. 
But if the mold thing is bad...
God, please don't let it be bad.
