Some movies I've watched.

Over the weekend I've watched a couple of movies so I wanted to talk about that. I've watched Wall-E, Kung Fu Panda, Ironman and the Incredible Hulk. I thought all of them were pretty good, some better than others but I didn't walk away disappointed in any of them.

Wall-E: I really loved this movie. I can't really say anything I didn't like of it though the repitition of his name over and over again was too much.:P I liked how it wasn't too kiddish(if you know what that means) cause it definetely isn't just for kids. But it was a great movie nontheless.

Kung Fu Panda: I enjoyed this movie more than I expected. It was funny and I enjoyed the animated action in it.I was very entertained and not disappointed by it. Thanks porthand_jim for the recommendation.;)

Ironman: Kept me in my seat the whole movie!:o It was amazing! I was really surprised how it got me sucked into the story so much. Definetely a must see if you haven't already!

The Incredible Hulk: All I can say is I thought the action and fighting scenes in this movie were epic!:o It didn't entertain me as much as Ironman did but when the action sequences were there, I didn't wanna get off my seat.:lol:

Check them all out if you can!:D

Now for some late baseball news:

I was planning on writting about this yesterday, but I didn't have any time so I'll write it now even if it's late and maybe old news for us fans.:P

On Saturday, The Dodgers and the Angels were playing and the pitching in that game was amazing!:shock: J. Weaver for the Angels pitched a no hitter but the Dodgers still managed to win. How is that possible you say? Well The Angels committed 2 errors, allowing a run to score.:lol:

Tough loss for Weaver but he pitched an amazing game. Dodgers beat the Angels 1-0 that day.The Dodgers are 2.5 games behind Arizona.

Nooooo! When will this ever end?:X

Thought this was gonna be another tagging blog, huh? HA!:twisted: Sorry to get your hopes up taggers but you picked the wrong person to tag.8)

(I'll probably write one in the future when this tagging thing dies out.>_>)

Now for a different subject:

I am having the same dream about a guy with a metal claw chasing me. Don't laugh.:x It's true, I've had this nightmare 5 times in one month. Kinda odd...... But he is wearing a trenchcoat and it looks like his face is covered with acid and when he chases me he sticks his tongue out.:shock: Fugly as hell, wtf? It always ends with him catching me and then I wake up.

*curls up like a tiny ball*

I looked up what it meant on a dream book and it says childhood trauma. Must be things of the past that are haunting me.=/Or maybe it's because I eat too much candy.>______>

Oh and I have to follow some schedule we made for computer use.:? It's lame but it seems fair for everyone. Will be hard getting used to it

Just thought I'd give you an update on my life. I don't have anything else to write about and I'm looking up at more wonders so my next blog will be about that again.

Don't hate me taggers.;_;

Wonders of the World! Cave of Swallows

Imagine falling into this!!!!:shock:

El Sotano de las Golondrinas also called, (The Cave of Swallows) is an enormous pit cave in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. The entrance lies along a sloped section of karst, elliptical in shape, and measures approximately 160 by 205 feet (49 by 62 m). The entrance is undercut around its entire perimeter, and the pit opens up to a room that measures approximately 995 by 440 feet (303 by 134m ). The low point of the entrance provides a 1094 feet (333 m) freefall drop to the bottom of the cave while the high point provides a 1220 feet (372) freefall drop. These measures make it the largest cave shaft in the world, second deepest pit in Mexico and the 11th deepest in the world.

The cave is known by the native name of Sótano de las Golondrinas, which means Basement of the Swallows, because of the large number of birds living in holes in the cave's walls. These birds are white-collared swifts, called vencejos in Spanish and parrots called green conures, locally known as the periquillo quila. To free themselves from the cave, the birds fly in circles around the cave, gradually flying upwards until they are able to reach the surface and the sky. The birds do this each morning, and the exodus has become part of the tourist attraction.

The cave's depth draws many tourists to the area. It is deep enough to allow base jumping from the mouth, and a person without a parachute would take approximately 12 seconds to fall from the top of the cave to the bottom. As a result, many extreme enthusiasts accept the challenge to base jump from the mouth of the cave.

Pics are provided here.:)

Interesting fact: The Cave of Swallows is big enough to engulf the Empire State Building.o_O

Wonders of the World! Angel Falls

How many of you have actually been to Angel Falls or have seen it? How many of you have heard or read about it? If you haven't then let's take a look at this marvelous natural wonder.

El Salto del Angel (known as Angel Falls) is located in Canaima National Park in Venezuela. It is the world's highest free-falling waterfall at 979 meters(3,212 feet). The height of this fall is so great that before getting anywhere near ground, the water turns into mist.

The base of the falls feeds into the Kerep River which flows into the Churun River. In the Pemon language Angels Falls is called, "Waterfall of the Deepest Place."

Angel Falls is one of Venezuela's top tourist attractions but even today a trip to the falls is not a simple affair. The falls are located in an isolated jungle region of Venezuela and a flight from Caracas or Ciudad Bolivar is required to reach Canaima Camp the starting point for river trips to the base of the falls. The falls cannot be seen on cloudy days, and there is no guarantee visitors will see them.

River trips generally take place from June to December when the rivers are deep enough for the wooden curiaras used by the Penom Indian guides. During the dry season (December to March) there is less water than is seen in some photos, but it is also more likely that the top will not be clouded.

Pictures can be seen here:

*faints*:shock:

Just felt like writing about something different for a change.:D

Welcome.....your time has come.....

Been messing around on Photoshop again and I wanted to make avi art for my Gaia so I drew my avatar and made this:

Click this link!

I intended for it to look scary but it turned out to be the exact opposite.:lol: Anyway this is my second try doing this in Photoshop and I like how it came out. With more practice, I might open a shop in Gaiaonline and make avi art. I'll give my friends there a discount or do theirs' for free.:P

Special thanks to Ryan for motivating me.;) We are a team! He made me his version of my avi too.

Check it out

Thanks hun!

We are thinking about making more art together.^___^

50K posts

It's really nothing to be proud of.>___> But yeah I looked up my stats and realized I have 50,000 posts. Now before you say, "Steph you need a life!:o" "Go outside you bum!:x" let me just say it took me 2 and a half years to have that many posts and I now only post in blogs, no forums at all. So that is my defense.>.>

Ever since my sister came back home, it is rather difficult to get on and tell her to get off.=/ I've only finished 2 of the 5 requests I have and it's hard finishing them since I cannot do a sig or banner in an hour. I mainly have to wait until she goes out with her bf and come back the next day in order to finish requests.

Anyway that's it I guess. No party thread for me in OT, I have all I need in here.8)

I made 2 sigs recently (1 last night and the other this morning) was messing around with new stuff and managed to make myself a new s.t.y.l.e.

Rate , comment and critique.

I overdid the first one.>___>

I know they both have the same guy on it.:P

Been reading the Bleach manga again and that's what got me in the mood.

I swear I am so damn blind!

My sister, her bf, my little brother and I went to the mountains to go hiking just for the sake of it. We went to a trail that was leading towards a lake and since I love the great outdoors we took a few pics. (Sorry no pics to show) As we got closer to the lake I saw something so big in front of me and I froze for a moment and warned the others who were in back of me.

I cried out to everyone, "Guys, there's a ****ing wolf here!!!! We need to get out now!!!"

My sister then yelled, "Are you serious?!"

Her bf then panicked and said, "Oh lord let's get out of here!"

I was moving away from it so frightened and said, "God, we're so gonna die!"

And my little brother just laughs and tells me, "You are so blind! It's a just a squirrel! Oh my God, seriously Steph."

My sister shakes her head and her bf starts saying, "Oh lord, the huge scene we made."

I look closer and to my amazement it was a squirrel.=/ It was just a grey squirrel with a long tail.:lol: It looked so much like a wolf from far distance though.

So everyone laughs at me and teases me about it the whole way we get home and I am so embarassed cause I mistook a harmless little creature to a wolf.-_- I had my eye contacts on of course but even that wasn't enough for me to see clearly. I have to say this was probably the most dumbest moment I had.:lol:

Last night there was a huge party at my neighbor's house. They had the music on so loud I couldn't hear my bf speaking on the phone. I swear I felt like throwing a shoe at the singer at the party and telling him ,"Can't you hear some people are trying to have a conversation!:x" They stopped around midnight and I didn't get to sleep until later on. Woke up about 2 hours ago with little sleep.

Also, I'm gonna go to Dodger Stadium around July to see them play against the Giants.:twisted: Wouldn't miss it for anything in the whole world.

That's it, now it's time to pick on Steph.>__>

PS: To not confuse you, this squirrel wasn't as big as a wolf. It's tail was just very long the first thing that came to my mind was "Oh damn, a wolf!"

Bored>_>Some facts about me.

1. When I was little, me and my family went to the mountains and when we were setting up our tent, a baby bear came out of nowhere and ran right by me.o_O We had to move somewhere else cause that meant the mama bear was close by.

2. I wanted to take tap dancing classes when I was little but never did it.=/

3. People always underestimate me when I play a sport because I'm 5'2" (1.57 in meters) and they want to tilt me over with their finger. -_-

4. I used to take guitar lessons in school but quit shortly after because I wasn't interested in it.

5. I used to play in 2 different sports in highschool. Softball and Volleyball.:)

6. Attended an all Girls' Catholic School in High School. Went there for 3 years in Mexico then came back to the states and finished my last year in public school. Don't believe what they say, it wasn't as strict as they make it seem.>.>

7. (For Joe and Justin) The reason why I am interested in Ryan is because in the past he was always such a jerk to me. He was so rude and made me angry when he made a certain comment (not telling what) and I hated him for it but at the same time I was attracted to him and I didn't know why.:? Then I found out, I liked him cause he was bad.>_______> I let it out his sweet side though.:P

8. When exercising, I make sure I always have music on so it motivates me. I won't stop a certain exercise until a song is finished then I start a different exercise. Maybe you can take this as advice.:P

9. Even though I am a Dodgers fan, I have never ever been to a Dodgers game.:oops: -____-

10. I like meat but I don't like the organs. (Liver, intestines, feet, ribs, tongue, eyes, brains, heart,etc) *barf*

Random Fact!!!! I have 3 people in my ignore list. Pwnt!

PS: I will start doing my Marvel vs DC blogs again next Friday. Kinda stopped them for awhile. ._.
