Okay, I just got the letter of my thirteen-year-old life.
I entered a poetry contest for my entire city last December, and submitted maybe ten poems.
And, out of 18,000 poems......My poem was selected as one of EIGHTY winning poems!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
I'm so happy and proud and excited and amazed and.....Ack, so many feels! xD
But enough about poetry, let's move onto a different art!
I'm part of a teen choir at my church, and this year we're singing the Easter service with the adult choir. And we're learning the most amazing songs, and I am the soprano who can hit every single note (which includes the C two octaves above middle C, btw) when all the other sopranos have to either "scream sing" or drop out. ^_^ I'm so proud of myself tonight!
And finally, theater! ....Sort of....
I'm going to go see Oz, the Great and Powerful this weekend. I have no idea what the plotline is or anything, but my friend wanted to see a movie and that's, like, the only movie our parents will let us watch. All the others in our local theaters right now are mostly rated R and slightly less are PG-13, which our parents won't let us see without watching them first. :/ The only other one is Escape from Planet Earth, you know, that one about the aliens or whatever?
So....that's it for tonight! Just wanted to share my joy! Comment if your a poet or singer! I'd love to hear from you! ^_^

Let's start in the middle, shall we?
Hello, all. I'm Adalyn. I'm thirteen and I have silver glitter shoes I wear whenever I'm not wearing my blue plaid airwalks. I like to think of myself as a cheerful person, although I do have off days where I stomp around the house getting absolutely nothing done and yell at people and generally do things I regret later.
But, to introduce myself on a more positive note, I shall get into my life story. Okay, not really. But, maybe a little thing about an exciting thing that happened today will get you to keep reading my blog....Or not...
WE HAVE A NEW POPE!
Yay, Papa Frankie! xD I'm a Roman Catholic and proud of it, though I don't go around telling people they're going to hell like some people believe. I'm not very judgmental, and prefer to think of myself as someone who listens to an argument she doesn't agree with, and then fires back with reasonable solutions and examples, without seeming like a know-it-all.
...Sometimes my image of myself isn't very accurate.
But back to the point, I do crazy things all the time, like writing novels in a month with this website: ywp.nanowrimo.org and making response videos I never post on YouTube and being an "unsocial" homeschooler.
Yes, I do have friends. xD
Rick Riordan is my favorite author and role model when it comes to writing, with Ally Carter and Eion Colfer in a close second and third. What I love about Mr. Riordan is that he somehow manages to balance humor with sorrow, wonderful with terrible, and pain with joy. It's awesome. Plus, he has a great sense of humor. As do all my favorite authors. Granted, I haven't read any of the classics like Shakespeare and Mark Twain and Charles Dickens yet. I'm starting all the literature stuff next fall.
My other hobbies include piano and guitar, singing, frequenting various websites, Youth Groups, and sadly, D&D. My nerdy brothers finally talked me into it. I play almost every week with some of my close friends, and I'm actually happy I do play because it helps me really get into different characters and different situations and stuff like that for when I'm writing. They haven't managed to convince me to play anything else nerdy over the last year or two, so yay for that!
I also do annual things with my church like VBS, the March for Life, and retreats. I'm really active in my church, seeing as my parents help out with a whole slew of ministries, and I help them help out. ;)
My favorite TV shows right now are Avatar: Legend of Korra, Psych, Sherlock, and Phineas and Ferb. Okay, so I'm sort of a nerd in more than one aspect.
Sooooo....now you know a fraction about about me. Thanks for reading this far. As a reward, you get imaginary smarties. And a hug. *hugs.* ((Spread the love, man. xD)) But really, I hope you can stay for all the wonderful endeavors life has to throw at me.
Let me just say, it should be quite an adventure.
