Halloween News / A Sonic Story for the non-Mobians

I dressed up as Princess Elise from the Sonic series today at school. I'm proud to say I didn't trip much, but I did get a purple stain on my dress right away in the morning. It really annoyed me, too. I didn't realize what had caused it until I rode the bus home in the afternoon - in the same seat that I had ridden that morning. There was bluish-purplish ink on the back of the seat in front of me. I must have brushed up against it when I got off this morning. *sigh* Oh, well. I was extra careful not to let something like that happen again all day. I was expecting more reactions from my friends about the dress (I've never worn a dress to school before today), but they all acted totally normal. My friend Cassie was an old woman, complete with a granny voice and walker. Brandi was the victim of a murder, and her killer was choking her all day. She made the costume herself and everyone really liked it. Outside of that no one I knew really dressed up. Although I did find it funny that Luke was a Japanese rice fields worker. He never used to dress up, but he's been doing more of it this year. I think he was supposed to be a wizard or something on superhero day for homecoming week. That looked pretty cool, too.

Princess Elise's story is kind of sad. If you've played/seen cutscenes from Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 you know this, but for those of you who don't this will enlighten you. Elise, princess of Soleanna, is attacked on the night of her kindom's festival of fire and rescued by Sonic the Hedgehog. Eggman continuously tracks her down and kidnaps her with the hope of gaining the power of the Flames of Disaster and stealing her Chaos Emerald, but Sonic always comes to her aid. Meanwhile, in the shadows, a dark hedgehog from the future works in the background to ruin everything. Mephiles, as he is called, uses a time-traveling hero to try and kill Sonic so that Elise will cry, thus releasing the Flames of Disaster. He is eventually successful, but with help from the Chaos Emeralds Elise is able to revive Sonic, and he joins with Shadow and Silver to save the day. When it's all said and done, though, Elise must blow out the Eternal Flame - the thing that started the whole adventure - in order to permanently destroy Mephiles. In doing so her memory is erased and she forgets about meeting and falling in love with Sonic. He doesn't forget her, though, and continues to make sure she's safe from the sidelines.

It's a sad yet beautiful story. Some of Sonic's greatest and best-known quotes come from that game. "Just smile," "Nothing starts until you take action," and "if you have time to worry, then run" are just a few. I still haven't beat the game...stupid Crisis City. Haha

We're watching "Rudy" in my Careers class sixth period. I've seen it before, of course, but I didn't known the signifigance of Sean Astin until now. I've now officially seen Lord of the Rings, in which he played Samwise, and (more importantly) he is also the voice of Raphael in the new TMNT 2012 series.

I never really paid attention to "Rudy" before because I'm not big into football, but now that I'm having to watch it in class I realize just how great of a movie it is. We aren't finished yet; we've still got about a half hour to go. I can't wait to see how it ends. (I mean, I know how it ends, but now that I'm actually paying attention I can't wait to see how it ends. Haha)

Guess what comes out on Friday, November 2? "Wreck It Ralph!" And guess who's making a special cameo appearance? SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!! Check out the poster:

See him back there with Eggman? Yeah, buddy! I so can't wait! I probably won't see it opening day or anything, but I am planning on seeing it in theaters and screaming like a fangirl when I spot Sonic (and Eggman). :D

Happy Halloween, everyone!

First Post Ever

Hey there. This is my first blog ever, created at the urging of my grandmom. Don't know what I'll post here yet. I guess we'll see. The title, "Endless Possibilities," was inspired by a song from a Sonic the Hedgehog game. Yes, I am a nerd, and I love it. Here's a link to the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uw2AdxyEkMI
Hope you guys enjoy my stories. I'll post more about myself as I learn how to use this Blogger thing. Up, over, and gone! (quote from "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog")
