This is unexpected

 Look! Pretty picture! That alone will attract followers, no?


I got to be the first of Ms. Courtney's Blogs of Note on Storing up Treasures. I knew she would pick from us, but I didn't know they would be in the actual order we were commenting. 
 Does this demand an acceptance speech?

Hi! Welcome to my blog! My name is Amaranthine Degada and this blog has been a continuous source of blessing in my life.
I love Jesus, Star Wars, writing, and dance, and that is what I blog about(in order of frequency.) 


I love God: I go to Saddleback Valley Community church and I play keyboard in the band there. Something I've been struggling with lately is believing that God made me to suit an unique plan he has for me. I want to be smarter, prettier, more talented. I just have to believe that God didn't make me like [insert name here] for a reason. I have no idea what that reason is,  I just know it exists.

Star Wars: Um...yeah. It's kind of this little thing:eherm lifetime obsession: of mine. See other posts for details.

Writing and Reading: I'm revising a novel I just wrote. I love fantasy and historical fiction. I won't post it here, but I will publish it and proceeds will go to the Buy Amaranthine Degada An Ipad Fund. Just kidding. I probably won't be able to publish it, let alone sell  a copy.

Dance: Hip hop, ballet, and jazz. It's one of my favorite hobbies but also one of my biggest frustrations. More on that later.


So! That's me(and my excessive use of exclamation marks). I want to become famous, but only if it's God's plan for me. They say you can't get famous writing about random things on a blog, but you'll see. You'll see.

 I hope I write about stuff you're interested in. If you're not interested in it, I hope I can make you interested in it. 


Oh yeah, and I attend high school at home. And I mean serious homeschooling, not my-parents-tried-it-for-a-year-because-I-fail-at-socialization homeschooling. I've never been to a public school.


That was a very convoluted speech. I hope you wrangled some sense out of it. Happy New Year.

Read some of my other posts. You'll get a better idea of who I am. Except my Her Universe post. That one was strangely received. (Great, now I know all of you will go look it up.)



Love,
Amaranthine

    Love love love this! I love your writing style--your wit and your honesty! As wife of a worship pastor, and part of the worship team, I understand the I-want-to-be-pretty-like-her and why-didn't-I-get-that-gifting thoughts. It's important to remember that those people can't do what God created YOU to do. There would be a hole, a gap, something missing if we spent our days trying to chase down someone else's calling. I have become a follower and I will be following you on your journey!! Great to "meet" you!!

three amazing--and relatively little known--psalms

So I'm reading Psalms in the Bible right now. Well, Psalms is one of the three places I read from. I'm reading the Bible all the way through and read two chapters from three places--the Old Testament, the middle of the Old Testament, and the New Testament--every day. I'm in Deuteronomy and Romans in the other sections, but in the middle I'm still right where I started from-Psalms. Cause Psalms is really really long. I was getting kind of tired of Psalms(which isn't really the right attitude to be reading the Bible in). But I realized there are some really breathtaking passages in Psalms, and I'm glad I read them. These are my three favorites: *Buck Forester on Flikr Psalm 65 This one is about God's spectacular creation. What mighty praise, O God,      belongs to you in Zion. We will fulfill our vows to you, 2       for you answer our prayers.      All of us must come to you. 3  Though we are overwhel...

Howl's Moving Castle book analysis

“I feel ill. I'm going to bed, where I may die.” ― Howl, upon having a cold. I've decided to call them "book analysis" because they're not really reviews that tell you how much I liked the book, rather,  me taking the book apart and looking at different aspects of it for my own entertainment. Read on. Also, read Howl's Moving Castle. This is the original cover of Howl's Moving Castle and I have got to say it is the UGLIEST thing I have ever seen. I like the new one much better. Ahem. First of all, I should point out that Howl's Moving Castle is a children's book. However, I like to hold all books I read to the same standard, after all, they're written by adults. I had biased expectations of Howl's Moving Castle from the start, because I kept hearing from several sources how amazing, how fantastic, how hilarious and how romantic the book was, and hearing the perfectly gorgeous soundtrack by Joe Hizazi(somethin...

Her Universe

  Before I start, let me just say this. I appreciate what Ashley Eckstein is doing. It's obvious she really cares about and is enthusiastic about her line, and she's using her position to make our days(and wardrobes, apparently) a little more cheerful. However, I don't think Her Universe is the huge movement she expects it to be. The website   talks about how female SW fans have a hard time finding merchandise designed "just for us" and the trials of having to wear either "very girly stuff" or "men's stuff in small sizes."   This post from Club Jade clearly favors and is enthusiastic of Her Universe. Vivenne's comment,(the 6th) says everything more eloquently than I ever could. "However, it’s NOT our turn. We’re NOT getting what they’ve got. I STILL don’t wear Star Wars franchise stuff because there is no way I can afford Her Universe. $30 for a TEE SHIRT? No. No no no. I’ll keep buying the $9.99 shirts for g...
