Sonic Boom TV Trailer! :D

I got home from school today and started checking for updates like I usually do, and GUESS WHAT I FOUND?! A brand new trailer for the new Sonic Boom TV series coming this fall!! Check it out!!

Here is a picture of the character redesigns:

So...different! But at least it's not as bad as the TMNT Reboot redesigns. As you can see, Sonic now has blue arms, Knuckles is taller and more buff, and Amy has a brand new look entirely (I approve!). Also, for whatever reason, they all have pad wraps on their arms and legs. And Sonic now has an ascot-type-thing. So far what I've seen is pretty cool! It will just take a bit to get used to the new coloring and outfits. I wonder if they'll use the Sonic Boom song for the theme? THAT WOULD BE COOL!!! :D

Well, there you have it! Brand new Sonic stuff! They say that the show, the game (based on the show), and new merchandise will be coming soon. You know what that means...more collecting! SONIC BOOM!! :D

TMNT: Casey goes vigilante...and Irma's first appearance! *Spoilers*

HOLY FLIP, you guys!! So I just watched the brand new episode of TMNT 2012...and it was AWESOME!! Casey Jones returns and officially becomes the vigliante we all know and love from previous shows and movies! There is so much to look forward to in this episode: Casey and Raph fight (BOOYAKASHA!), Casey finds out about the turtles, and...Foot Bots in the lair?! Go watch the episode and find out for yourself!

Another thing to note about this episode is the return and first appearance of Irma, April's BFF from the original 1987 series! From what I've seen so far she has sort of a different personality...more nerdy and in-your-face than before. It remains to be seen whether she will still be boy crazy like in the original show.

What do you think? Just based on her first impression, she kind of rubbed me the wrong way...but first impressions can be misleading. Especially in this show. We will just have to wait and see what she's like! (I'm still trying to find her voice actor...)

Well, that's all for now! Be sure to keep up with the series as it progresses. Brand new episodes on a brand new day! The Good, The Bad, and Casey Jones is available now! GOONGALA!! :D

Goodbye, James Avery

New Look For a New Year!

So...new look! What do you think? I figured I'd spice things up a bit since I seem to be getting more readers. Yes, this is a very nerdy blog. But hey! Nerds are awesome!

As you can see above I have added three new tabs to my blog: Mobians, Shellheads, and Whovians. The Mobians tab is for all of the Sonic fans out there. Shellheads specializes in TMNT, and Whovians focuses on Doctor Who. Go check them out if you are into any of those shows!

So I have the new look. Is there anything else you can expect from me that's new this year? Yes! Here's what you can look forward to as 2014 gets under way:

• Updates as I finish my last year of high school and begin my college career as an English major, specializing in creative writing
• New information concerning Sonic the Hedgehog, especially as the premiere of the new Sonic Boom series approaches next fall
• News on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which will include brand new episode reviews and updates as the new movie approaches in August
• Doctor Who galore! New information concerning the 12th Doctor as well as my thoughts about previous Doctors and episodes are coming your way while I learn more about this awesome hero

Basically, nerd news out the wazoo! Hope you're all prepared! Also, since everyone seems to make New Year's resolutions, here are some goals I have set for myself for the year 2014:

• Finish well in high school and gear up for college! Make the best grades I can and start off my freshman year of college strong! (Man, I don't want to be a freshman again...)
• Seriously sit down to begin editing my novel, "Follow the Raven." I have been working on it for two years and really want it published, so now is the time!
• Attempt NaNoWriMo again...and hopefully win this time!

I don't know about you, but I am excited for the new year to begin. Lots of writing, nerdy happenings, and making my dreams come true begin in 2014, so let's get started! Cowabunga and Happy New Year!

Remember, it's a world of Endless Possibilities! :D

Looking Back: 2013

Well, it's New Year's Eve! I thought I would take some time to reflect on 2013 and look forward to the new year a bit as well. (Keep in mind that these are my personal thoughts of the past year.)

HIGHLIGHTS OF 2013:
Moorcroft Music Festival
Beginning my senior year of high school
One year of blogging
Two years of "Follow the Raven"
The 12th Doctor

BEST MOMENT:
Learning that a brand new Sonic TV series titled "Sonic Boom" is coming out in the fall of 2014. :D

WORST MOMENT:
Saying goodbye to Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor... :'(

BEST VIDEO:
Tails Reacts to "What Does the Fox Say?"
Funniest thing I have seen in my life...go watch it!

FINAL THOUGHTS:
2013 was kind of an emotional roller coaster for me due to personal issues with friends and the church and whatnot, but it also had a lot of awesome stuff for me to nerd out over...like new TMNT 2012 episodes and the upcoming Sonic Boom series to look forward to! :)

Be sure to check back here tomorrow, January 1, 2014, for a special update! Happy New Year!! :D

Introducing...the 12th Doctor! *Slight Spoilers*

So Christmas was awesome...lots of nerdy items for my ever-growing collection of Sonic and TMNT. As we speak I am actually sitting on my bed which now sports my very first set of Sonic the Hedgehog bed sheets...hey, it may seem silly, but to a Mobian these sheets are the BEST! :D

The only thing about this year's Christmas that I was not looking forward to was the 11th Doctor's regeneration. Saying farewell to Matt Smith was terrible. I was crying my eyes out the entire time. I expected his regeneration to be a bit more drawn out than it was (seeing as that's how it has always been before), but while I was pulling tissues out, the moment came, and it came fast! Peter Capaldi's introduction as the 12th Doctor was so abrupt that it shocked me into silence...until the credits started rolling. Then I was crying all over again.

While I will miss Matt Smith like you wouldn't believe, I look forward to what Peter Capaldi offers as the new Doctor. I don't want to wait a freaking six months for a new episode though!

Well, anyway, that's my nerd news for you all today. Also I think this is my first mention of Doctor Who on this blog...so there you go! Goodbye, Matt Smith. We'll miss you! But...

Freedom!

Finally! I've been waiting all month for this...CHRISTMAS BREAK!! I am free of school and homework for two weeks! :D

I've worked really hard and stressed a lot trying to get things done in time, so this is a well deserved vacation. After school today my friends and I hung out all day, and I got some awesome Christmas presents...Simon gave me a Sonic Lost World poster, Devin got me a ceramic dragon statue, and LUKE!! OMG Luke is the BEST EVER!! He made a mini Green Hill Zone out of paper! Complete with item boxes, springs, rings, star posts, and badniks! All sorts of Sonic's from the original games are there for me to play with. It's freaking cool! I think I scared him a little though because I was so excited I death-hugged him three times. XD

I also had a chance to give my friends their presents...I got Keith a miniature Nerf gun, James got his very first TMNT figurine for his turtle collection, Cassie got TMNT 2012 Volume 3 on DVD, and Luke got a magnet that says "I don't suffer from insanity...I enjoy every minute of it!" Haha when I saw that magnet in the store I was like "that TOTALLY fits him...bought!" He laughed hysterically when he got it, so that made my day. Though now that I have my Christmas present from him I feel really...wimpy. Lol his gift is amazing! C:

My voice hurts now, though, because I was laughing so much tonight. My group is hysterical. So many funny things happened tonight while we were playing Story Wars...haha it was awesome. There was one point where we all had to take a brief respite because all of us were laughing so hard we couldn’t get back into the game for a few minutes.

But before all that I about laughed my voice to oblivion because I was attacked...I made the grave mistake of hiding James' iPod, and when I refused to tell him where I had hid it, he and Luke pinned me down and tickle tortured me. Surprisingly I held out for quite a bit, though. Luckily they stopped before I had a chance to wave the white flag.

I am also waiting for the death text, because I just KNOW I’m going to get one. It’s a long story, but Luke is going to kill me. XD

Ah, Christmas Break...what am I going to do? NOTHING! :D

My friends and I might be hanging out on Monday, but nothing is set in stone. I plan to read a lot and write a lot. Since I am out of school I have no required reading, so whatever I read is purely for myself, which I haven't done in a while. Also, I am going to finish up my 25k in December challenge with my very first TMNT fanfiction, titled "Tea With Elaine." (Or something...I'm still thinking about it.) It is kind of a mini story that will take place between TMNT 2012 S02E07 and S02E08. Remember this picture?

Yep. I think the novella title and this picture say it all. It's about what happens after Slash and Destroy. When I'm done I will probably do some editing and make it post-worthy so I can share it online.

I also plan to finally, FINALLY watch my new TMNT 1987 episodes that I got for my birthday. I now own Seasons 2 and 8, but I haven't seen them yet, so I will do that over break. I also need to catch up on my Sonic comics because SHADOW just entered the picture with his first story arc since February of 2009! MUST READ NOW!!

Well, I am tired (thanks to the guys), so I am going to sign off for now...MERRY CHRISTMAS!! :D
