Vacation

Ahh, I must say that it's nice to be on vacation. And it's nice to finally have time to post on the blog! So, what's been happening with me? Well, I just finished working for the summer at my Uncle's restaurant. It was a great experience and I made some good money. And then I got my wisdom teeth taken out this past Tuesday. It hurt BAD. My mouth is still pretty swollen and I'm still in a lot of pain. Thank God for pain pills! We'll be heading back home tomorrow, and then the next day I'll already be busy with a babysitting job. Man, I'm so busy! I really want to make some videos with the girls, but that's yet to happen. Hopefully later this week we will have some time to finally make a spoof or something. 

So anyways, sorry that I haven't posted in quite a long time. I'm back now, and I will try harder to post more consistently! Bye guys :) 

I can't smile yet, but we are having fun! :)

iPhone Life

Guys, I think I'm getting an iPhone today! Which means I can finally post on the go! I'm so happy! And here's a few updates.
I moved out of my house and am currently living with my grandparents while I work at my Uncle's restaurant for the summer. I'm enjoying my new job, but I really miss being home.
We are doing quite well on YouTube. We're slowly but surely getting more subscribers and views, which is great! But with growing popularity comes mean people and mean comments. People are jerks sometimes! Haha but it's ok. It's the internet.
Well, I gotta go! Time to go get a new phone! :)

You Bet I Did

 Guess who pre-ordered the new Transformers game? I DID! I'm so excited for this game!!!!! :D It looks awesomeeeee! I believe that it will be arriving on June 22nd, which feels like a long time away. I'll just have to play the first 2 games to keep myself occupied for the time being. :)

Summer!!!

It's finally summer! And I'm finally done with my junior year of high school!! Thank the Lord! I couldn't take another day of school. I was so stressed and sick of everything. And now, I don't have to worry about school for 3 months! Yay!
So anyways, what's new with me? Not much, actually. I've just kinda been living life day by day. I'm really hoping that our YouTube channel will continue to grow more popular as time goes on. We've done really well and have grown a lot in just a few months, which makes me very happy. I feel more motivated to make videos when I know that people enjoy them. And hopefully we can get some guest stars in our videos sometime.
About a month ago, I posted something about us getting a green screen. It is awesome! We love it. It's sooooo darn cool. You can pretty much make any scene you can imagine with it.
I'm excited for a lot of things this summer. Besides Transformers 4 coming out in theaters, there's also a new Transformers game coming out, called Rise of the Dark Spark. I can't wait! I loved the first two games, and it looks like they're tying both the movie and video game franchise in together with this one. Hopefully I can pre-order it so I can get it sooner rather than later. And Linkin Park's new CD is coming out in June! You may know that Linkin Park is my absolute favorite band. Some people hate them now since their music is so different than how it used to be, but I think that's what makes me like them. They experiment with all different kinds of music.
Ok, I think I'm done talking now. I will try to post more this summer since I'll have loads more free time. So, thanks for reading guys! :)

Can't forget to pop in a funny Transformers picture. :)

Green Screen!!!

We recently got a green screen! It's so cool!! I'm still figuring it out, but it's awesome! Check out our newer videos on YouTube where we use the green screen!

The Operator

www.deviantart.com

Hey guys! Remember a few weeks ago when I talked about the official Slender Man movie? I've done some more research, and have found out that it is going to be called "The Operator." The Operator is what the people from Marble Hornets called Slendy. They're basically the same, but The Operator doesn't kidnap young children like Slender Man does.
Doug Jones plays this iconic character. Who is Doug Jones you ask? He's one of those actors that you see everywhere, but just don't know his name. Take this character for example.

Yeah, Doug Jones played the Silver Surfer in Fantastic Four. He's played a ton of other crazy characters, but most of the pictures are pretty creepy, and I don't want to scare anyone haha. This guy is crazy talented. At over 6 feet tall, I think he's the perfect person to play Slendy- I mean, The Operator. Man, I'm going to have to get used to that.

And finally, here's a picture of what he really looks like. He's so cool! I mean, just look at him! He's one of those actors that I would really love to meet and maybe even work with someday! I have a great respect for actors like him. He's always in a crazy costume or wearing a ton of makeup, yet he seems like one of the most sincere actors out there. I can't wait to see him in The Operator.

A Ghost In Our House??

Can you guys see the strange fingerprints?!?!? The other night, I was just walking along, minding my own business, when suddenly, I saw 3 weird fingerprints on the wall! I have no idea how they got there, and neither does anyone else in my family. It could've just been somebody with dirty fingers, but for now, I'm going to assume there's a ghost in my house! What do you guys think? Could this be something supernatural?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trailer Spoof

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Are you ready for this? We are! The trailer for the new 2014 live-action reboot came out recently, and of course we're going to spoof it!! Bernadette and I just bought supplies to help turtle-fy ourselves, and hopefully we'll get the video done in a few hours!
When I watched the trailer for the first time, I must say that I was a bit disappointed in the appearance of the turtles. Yeah, they're supposed to be mutant aliens in this version, but they just look so strange. Creepy almost.. And Mikey's lips are wayyyyyy too big. But maybe I'm being too judgemental. I'm going to try to watch this movie with an open mind. I love the Ninja Turtles, and I want to see them portrayed as well as possible in this new movie (which comes out August 8th I believe)
What's your opinion on the trailer? Excited or scared for this new reboot? Who's your favorite turtles? Mine would have to be Raphael. He's so BA, I love it haha. So anyways, check our YouTube channel tonight for this new spoof! And watch the original trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCjsWpM9zFU

I Love To Draw

If you've been reading the blog for awhile, you probably know that Soundwave is my favorite Decepticon. I just thought I'd share a picture of him that I drew during spring break. :) 

Spring Break! ....Is Almost Over

Wow, it's amazing how fast a week of no school goes by. I feel like spring break just started, when in fact, it's almost over!! And we haven't even made a video yet! But we are going to make one today! Check out our YouTube channel tonight to see it. I'm pretty excited about it. We're making a new series! :)

Wow!!

As you might've seen, we recently uploaded a spoof of the trailer for Transformers Age of Extinction. I must say that I'm super proud of it! We worked our butts off to make this video, and I think it turned out awesome! And we've gained 3 more subscribers since the video was posted! I know that this doesn't seem like much, but it doesn't take a lot to make me happy. :) I have no doubt in my mind that we're going places. The Amazing Spider-Man trailer spoof really helped kick start things for us, and now this Transformers spoof is taking us even further.
I would like to thank everyone who has supported us, subscribed to us, watched our videos, and/or read this blog. Your support and encouragement is what keeps me going. I couldn't do this without everyone in my life. I'm just at a loss for words.
Here's some advice for anyone who wants to achieve greatness. As you know, it all starts with a dream. Make that dream happen. You've gotta believe in yourself and work hard, and the rest will fall into place. I believe in you. :)
Thanks again everyone! Here's a picture that made me chuckle. I hope it makes you laugh as well. :)

Transformers 4 Trailer Spoof

 
Good gosh it's been forever since I've posted. I'm going to keep this short and sweet though. A Transformers 4 trailer spoof is coming soon. Check out our YouTube channel over the next few days to see it! We were planning to make it today, but of course it decided to sleet outside. But just keep a lookout. I'm super excited to make this, and I think it will be really good. :)

   

                                                                 Some pictures of us working on the costumes last night :)

My Bucket List

I thought that to change things up, I'd discuss my bucket list. Of course I'll include pictures. I think pictures make things more interesting. Let's get this started!! (By the way, this list isn't really in any certain order)

First off, it is my dream to go to film school. I feel that it will be the best way to help me get into the film business. I'm very interested in New York Film Academy, but I probably won't be able to afford to go there. I'm sure I'll find a good college though. :)

And that brings me to my next dream. BECOMING a movie director! I talked in one of my earlier videos about how I was inspired to become a filmmaker, and it's honestly what I love doing, even though I still have a lot to learn.

I'm sure you all know of my undying love for Linkin Park. Someday, I WILL see them in concert! Oh man, that would be amazing! I'm always checking to see if they're touring anywhere even remotely close to me, but I haven't had any luck yet. But I won't give up! And also, some good news about Linkin Park. They have a new album coming out this summer!! I can't wait!!!!! :D

This may seem cliché, but I really really REALLY want a Bumblebee Camaro. And yes, of course I'm going to name it Bumblebee and put Autobot decals on it! (Unless of course I can find a special edition Bumblebee that already has all the goods) The Transformers movies have made me fall in love with this car, and I know I would feel so BA driving this beautiful baby around!

Yes, this is Michael Bay. Yes, a lot of people don't like him. But I want to follow in his footsteps and direct the Transformers films. I love his films, but I want to make Transformers movies that all of the old-school fans will love as well. I think it'd be cool to bring back some of it's Generation 1 roots. :)

I told my Mom that when I'm rich and famous, I'm going to buy her a new house. A NICE house. She's always wanted a nice, big house, and I want to give it to her. She definitely deserves it!!

You probably know that I have a YouTube channel. I think it'd be awesome to become YouTube famous! I'm slowly but surely gaining more and more views and subscribers, and maybe someday these numbers will start growing by the minute. ;)

I can't even describe how bad I want to go to Comic Con!! It's like geek paradise, and I'm pretty geeky!! My sister Bernadette and I are determined to go one of these years when we're both a little older.

I would love to meet Steven Spielburg. He's so inspirational to me. In my opinion, he's one of the best directors ever. I am simply amazed by every movie of his that I watch. He truly has a talent, and I hope one day I can meet him. :)

Well, that's all the time I have for today. I hope you enjoyed this list. And I also hope that I can mark all of these things off my bucket list. Thanks for reading. :)

Oh, Hey!

Wow, I feel like I haven't posted in forever. I haven't even been immensely busy or anything either. I guess I just haven't made myself get around to posting!! Well, what's new with me? Hmmmm... I've started drawing again! I kind of gave it up for a while, not really sure why though. I honestly love to draw. It's a good way for me to feel better when I'm down. And let's see... Oh, I asked a guy to prom! And guess what he said? "I don't know". That made me feel great about myself! (Not) But he's a really shy guy, so I think I just caught him off guard. I hope I do get to go to prom though! Even if someone else is going to be there with another someone else...
Ok, I'm getting off track here haha. I've been working harder on writing new scripts for some YouTube videos. My Grandad said that he can give us some of his old suits, so that way we can better portray Slender Man when we make our new series. I'm super excited about making these Slender Man videos. I'm sure most of you are sick of him, but I'm hoping that maybe I can freshen him up a bit and make him exciting to people again. :)
That's about it I guess. We were blessed with another snow day today, and of course I took the opportunity to sleep in till 12. ;) Thanks for reading guys! I'm sure you know, I'd be lost without your support! :)

(and a lovely random picture to wrap up this post)

Transformers 4 Teaser!! :DDD

Did you guys see this commercial during the Super Bowl??? I sure did!! This is the only reason I even watched the Super Bowl! Guys, you have no idea how excited I was to see this commercial. I got tears in my eyes and my heart didn't stop racing for the next couple of hours! This is how much I love Transformers. It's been 3 years since we've really seen Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, and the others. It felt like a much needed reunion to see these guys again, plus some fresh, new faces. Like Grimlock! Just look at this picture!!!!!! He looks so BA! And so does Optimus. He got a whole new look, and I love it! Man, I can't wait for this movie. June 27th. Just a little over 4 months! June 27th is also my Mom's birthday, so hopefully she'll want to go see it too!! :) 

What were your thoughts on the commercial? Are you also super pumped, or dreading yet another Michael Bay film? Let me know! Hopefully these next 4 months go by fast! :)

2 Years :)

I'm going to keep this short because I need to get to bed, but I just wanted to say that today, our YouTube channel is 2 years old. :) We now have 11 subscribers, over 50 videos, and almost 4000 total video views! I can tell that our channel is finally starting to grow, and hopefully it will continue. Thank you to everyone and anyone that has supported us on YouTube and watched our videos and subscribed. It means the world to me :)) 

Some of My Favorite Movies!

So I decided that I'd share some of my all-time favorite movies. :)

Well taking the cake is the Transformers Trilogy. I love these movies so much. Go on and judge me. I know some people really don't like these movies, but I think they're great! The human characters I don't care for so much, but more the robots. I think they portrayed them pretty well (I'm upset that they changed Soundwave so much though) and I am always amazed by the CGI. These movies play a big role in making me want to be a movie director, and maybe even an animator.

A Nightmare on Elm Street. One of the best horror movies ever made in my opinion. I've known of this movie for a long time, but only got around to watching it about 2 years ago. The premise of this movie is so original; it really impressed me. Wes Craven was a genius in dreaming up this movie (pun intended). This movie made me want to try to make scary movies, along with the usual kind of videos I make.

Kung Fu Panda! I remember the first time I saw this way back in 2008. This movie made me laugh so much! I even remember that my sisters and I assigned each other as characters from the movie. (I was Shi Fu!! Heck yeah!) This movie is super funny, but it also has some good seriousness for the older audience as well. I never get tired of this awesome movie! Skidoosh!

Spider-Man!! This movie holds a really special place in my heart. I watched it when I was just a little girl with my Dad, and really really liked it. I wanted to shoot webs out of my hands just like Spider-Man could! (I still do actually)

 

Rise of the Guardians. At first glance, you might think "Oh, this is just a dumb kids movie". But no! This movie is awesome! It turns all of your childhood heroes into kickbutt bad-dream fighters! This movie is super funny, and very well made. I was so impressed with this movie. I watched it when I was babysitting some little kids this summer, and after that I rented it so I could watch it again! Take my word for it; this is actually a very good movie.

Ok, well that's all the time I have before the computer dies! I hope you enjoyed this list, and I'll probably do another one soon. There's soooo many movies that I like! Thanks for reading! =)



I Apologize..

Guys, I would like to apologize. I haven't been posting much lately, and when I have, they haven't been very fun or interesting posts. And I've posted many things that I've gone back and deleted. I know that I seem to make a lot of excuses, but it's hard to juggle everything right now. I'm trying my best, but I know I could do so much better. You guys deserve awesome posts, and I haven't really done that for you.
So I'm sorry for my lack of posts and lack of fun topics, but I'm going to hopefully post something fun soon, right after my YouTube video uploads. Stick with me guys =)

An Official Slender Man Movie?!

I use this picture of SpongeBob because I'm super happy! Why? Well because I just found out that a real deal Slender Man movie is being made!! :D
I found out this news this afternoon during English class. I was supposed to be researching Mahatma Ghandi, probably spelled that wrong, sorry), but I figured that I had enough notes already so I decided to look up Marble Hornets, so I could get myself a little more acquainted with it. And after a little searching, I saw official news that a big budget Slender Man movie is in production! It's supposed to come out sometime this year!! I have never heard of the director, but the guy that is portraying Slendy is named Doug Jones, who has apparently been in a lot of awesome movies! He's 6 foot 4, (yeah, I looked it up), and he looks like the perfect guy to play good old Slender.
So I hope you guys are as excited about this as I am! I cannot wait for this movie!!!! Yayyy!!! :)
Thanks for reading guys! =))

Embarrassing Moments.

Man, I always seem to have embarrassing moments! It's like they just follow me! Please tell me I'm not the only one that this happens to!!!! I just want to disappear in a hole for a few years. I think I'm going to go back to my idea of living in the mountains and growing a beard. 

Brainstorming..

I think I want to make a video series about Slendy. I have so many ideas of what I want to do, and watching Marble Hornet has inspired me. Now I just need to find a suit and a tall person.

Sleep>Videos or Videos>Sleep ???

Why am I so tired? It's not like I've done anything strenuous today. Maybe it's just part of being a teenager. I wrote a script for a new video, but honestly I don't really have the energy to make it right now. All I seem to want to do is sleep! 

And I need some help guys. How do I convince my Mom that the career I want to pursue is a good choice? I'm sure you know that I want to make movies for the rest of my life. My Mom supports me in my decision, but I can tell that she's disappointed that I chose this career path :(  I want her to be happy about my future job! Has this ever happened to you? Have you followed a path that your family isn't all that excited about? If you have any advice, please let me know! I want to make my Mom proud. :) 

Ok, I think I need to get some shut eye. I'm really struggling right now haha. I'm going to sleep for a little while, and then I will crank out a new video for you guys! You guys deserve it, and I want to keep you entertained and coming back to see more. So, I'll see ya in few hours! :)

2000 Views?!?!?

Oh my gosh guys! 2,000 views already!!! Thank you so much! I couldn't believe my eyes this morning when I got on the blog and saw that we had broken 2000 page views. This is truly amazing to me! Man, I just can't even begin to explain how grateful I am to all of you! I'm definitely going to have to make a video thanking you all. You guys deserve it! Again, thank you so much! =)))))))

The Pastel Man

I've lately tried to start skimming www.creepypasta.com to look for new stories that give me the heebie jeebies. There are a lot of good ones out there! The one that sticks in my head the most is called "The Pastel Man". This is an incredibly well written pasta, and keeps you engaged throughout the entire course of the story. I won't give away too much of the story, but here's a brief description. A boy's father falls ill and is about to die, when suddenly a strange and terrifying monster comes to the son. It offers to save the father's life, but for a price.
I would definitely recommend that you read this story. It's one of the better ones I've read as of late. Here's a link you can click that will take you to the creepypasta. http://www.creepypasta.com/pastel-man/
So let's see... Here's my plan for this weekend. Tomorrow, I'm going to make some new videos. We're up to 11 subscribers on YouTube! =D I know that seems like a small number, but it's great to me!! Oh, and I also might be seeing Anchorman 2 tomorrow with some of my guy friends! I hope we can go. I really want to see it. On Tuesday, my Mom and sister Jessica are leaving to go to the March For Life up in Washington D.C. They'll be gone till either Saturday or Sunday. I can't remember which day exactly. But my Mom is leaving home alone with my little sisters! I'm glad that she trusts me enough to leave me in charge. I hope I don't disappoint her. :)
Well, I can't think of anything else to say. I think I'm going to eat some ice cream, then hit the sack. I'm still flippin' tired! Thanks for reading! I can't believe the blog has had almost 2,000 views!!!! :)))

I LOVE SLEEP

That's going to be me in about an hour. Sadly, I won't actually be turning into an adorable kitty cat. But I will be snuggled up in my bed, getting some much needed rest. I am burnt out. I need sleep, otherwise I won't be able to function! Thank goodness we have a three day weekend!

And to make this post a little more interesting, I decided to talk a little bit about my latest YouTube obsession. It's a series called Marble Hornets. It's about a group of people who start making a movie, and the director soon realizes that he is being followed by Slenderman O_o
This group does an amazing job of giving you the creeps. I'm actually starting to get freaked out, but it's so fun to watch! I hope one day I'll be as good as these people. Check out Marble Hornets on YouTube- if you dare!

Can I Be Done With School?

Hey! Instead of working on finishing my huge physics lab report, I decided to take a moment to post. Actually, I'm kind of just procrastinating. I've already worked on it for 3 hours! Ughhhh. But yeah, apparently this is the hardest lab of the whole class, so I'll definitely be glad to have this behind me! And in case you didn't notice, I have my left middle finger wrapped up. Why you ask? Well apparently I have an infection in my joint! Yeah, it's not pretty. My finger is swollen and it seems to enjoy painfully throbbing when I'm trying to sleep. But don't worry, I'm taking some lovely medication to make the infection go away.
Well, as much as I hate to say it, I better get back to my homework if I want to get any sleep tonight. Hopefully I won't have homework tomorrow and I can do a fun post! Thanks for reading guys! :)

Why Is Killing Zombies So Fun?

I don't recall if I mentioned this before, but we recently got the game Call of Duty: Black Ops. The multiplayer is fun and all, but what we really love to play is the Zombie mode. It's pretty difficult for us noobs, but we really enjoy it! We've spent many nights up till the break of dawn playing this game. I believe that farthest we've ever gotten so far has been Round 10. That's pretty good for us!
Well, I think I'm going to play this game now. Talking about it makes me want to play!!

Why Is Slenderman So Popular?

Many people know who Slenderman is. I've talked about him quite a bit on this blog. But I've been thinking: What makes Slendy so popular and has created a large fangirl following?
Slenderman is a tall, white, faceless figure that stalks people and most likely kills them. He has tentacle things that can come out of his back to scare the pants off of people, if his appearance doesn't do that already. He's been seen in pictures that involve children, usually stalking in the background.

Now, these pictures have been proven to be fake. Slender Man originated from a Something Awful forum (if my memory serves me right). So he is 100% made up. .......Or is he? There is actually some very compelling evidence that people have at least seen something LIKE Slendy. I remember reading somewhere about how people in the 1600s saw a tall, white man that scared the dickens out of them. But hey, that could be made up too. Who knows? So, why are girls drooling over Slender Man? I mean, he's scary! And he doesn't even have a face! Well, take a look at this picture.

First off, I want to say that I really like this picture and I don't intend to condemn it in any way. I'm just using this as an example of what pop culture has done to Slender. They've given him a sweet side. Instead of being a totally menacing, scary monster that wants to kill you, he's starting to become more of a misunderstood, mysterious shy guy. I don't really see anything wrong with this, but the reason I fell in love with Slenderman was because of the scare factor he brought me. I was scared to look out my window or be alone for quite a few days after learning about Slenderman.

There are so many awesome stories about Slenderman. I could go on and on about how cool and interesting he is. The guy that created Slender is a pure genius. I wish I could get his autograph! The sad thing is, most people don't know that Slenderman was created by a regular guy (as far as I know).

I would love it if a movie was made about Slender Man. I'm pretty sure whoever made it would make major bank from it, and make a lot of people happy too! I've skimmed the internet for official news that a movie was being made about him, but all I've really found are YouTube movies or independent movies (which there's nothing wrong with that). I bet a director is planning on making a Slenderman movie, and just keeping it top top top TOP secret. Why? Because they probably don't want other directors to jump on their idea! I know I wouldn't!
So, why am I talking about Slendy? Well, I'm just a huge fan and I guess I just felt the hankering to talk about him! I'm in much higher spirits today as well. Oh man, it's almost time to eat dinner. I'm starved! I'll try to post again tomorrow. Thanks for reading!! =))

 

This Is Why I Hate High School..

Rumors, rumors, rumors...
I don't understand why people decide to start crap that isn't true. It may not seem that bad when you just hear about it, but being on the receiving end is not a good feeling. I just don't understand. In case you're wondering, I've become one of the many people that has something totally untrue being said about them. I try to be as nice of a person as I can, but I guess even that won't stop the nasty things that float around. Well, I've finally decided that I'm going to distance myself from the negative people in my life. It'll be tough. I care about some of these people soo soo so much. But if they don't like me anymore, it's not really worth it, is it?
I'm just so darn confused right now. I hope that I've never made anyone feel like this, because believe me, it's an awful feeling to have.
I just want to say that if any of you are going through a difficult time or are being bullied or made fun of, I'm here for you. I may not personally know you, but I bet I can relate. I would love to help anyone who is feeling down. There are always people around when I need them, and I would like to return the favor as well. I guess I can only go up from here, so I'll just try to keep smiling. :)
Let's see.. Here's some updates. I'm planning on making some gaming videos this weekend. If I feel up to it, I'll have another go at Slender tonight. Maybe being scared will help me feel less crappy somehow haha. And I have a couple new video ideas, but once again, I'm not really motivated to make anything right now. I think I need a little R&R, and then I might have a little brighter outlook on things.
So as always, thank you thank you thank you for reading. I know I'm probably an annoying teenager sometimes, but I'm glad that people like you take time out of your day to read what I have to say. :)

CAT

Why is my kitty Simba so adorable? :)
