Easter Updates

Happy Easter! I haven't had almost any blog posts this month. I've been really busy, apparently.

Let's see...news...

Well, our church had its annual Easter Egg Extravaganza (E3) again yesterday. From what I understand we had a good turnout. I was so busy focusing on my station that I didn't look out at the park as a whole to see how many people showed up. Haha

Two months until summer vacation here in Wyoming! I have never been more ready for summer vacation, and that's coming from a girl who loves school. I am so done with junior year. I've managed to keep a 4.0 GPA throughout this last quarter, though, so hopefully I can continue to do so. Our ACT is coming up on April 23rd, so I'll be studying like crazy for that. I'm not worried about the English sections, but I am worried about the math and science. Good thing they have an online ACT Prep course you can take at your convenience. I'll definitely be going through that in the weeks before ACT.

Skillet's new album, "Rise," will be coming out in May! Woohoo! I love Skillet. They're my favorite band ever. I'll be first in line to buy their album when it comes out here just like I was when they released "Awake." (I really was first in line for that one, haha.)

Still watching TMNT 2012! The next episode will be showing on Friday, so my bro and I will probably sit down to watch it the following Saturday or Sunday afternoon when they release it online. Since this last week was my spring break, I had the opportunity to watch the last few episodes of TMNT 2003 Season 3 and start in on Season 4. I. LOVE. TMNT 2003. It is seriously the best TMNT series ever...for so many reasons I don't even know where to begin! Great story, great characters (AWESOME Master Splinter), great plot...great everything!

I think that's about it with updates (nerdy or otherwise), so until the next mind-blowing episode of TMNT 2012, I think I'm going to sign off! Happy Easter! Keep an eye out for Bunnymund (Rise of the Guardians) and remember:

JESUS IS RISEN! :D

Raphael's Phobia *Spoilers*

I'm not even going to talk about Michael Bay's "TMNT Reboot." It's not worth it. Let's just say I'm horrified by what I've seen thus far.

Anyway...Raphael has a phobia! He's scared to death of cockroaches! In past TMNT series he's been afraid of bugs in general, but I'd forgotten about that. So yesterday when my bro and I watched "Cockroach Terminator" and Raph started freaking out about the "spy-roach," my memory caught up with me.

Overall it was a good episode. Obviously I liked it because Raphael was the star, but besides that it was pretty good. I found amusing that "big tough Raph is afraid of cockroaches," to quote Michelangelo. It was also neat to see how he felt about his phobia and how he eventually had to face his fear to save Mikey. The brief connection between him and Leo was intriguing as well.

This made the list of great episodes. For those who are interested, my favorite episode thus far is still #8: "Never Say Xever." Also, just because I'm so pumped about it...I am now the proud owner of TMNT 2012 Volume One on DVD! Collects episodes one through six with a selection of bonus features AND a free poster! Walmart exclusive! (I still haven't opened it so I don't know what the poster looks like...but I will in about five minutes when I'm done with this post!)

The life of a nerd is so much fun. The tiniest things can totally make your day.

Happy "show of your obsession with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" day! Be sure to wear your T-shirts that feature the "one lean, mean, GREEN, incredible team!" :D
