About Me(attempt no. 687)


I am posting partly because a bunch of extended family members might possibly be seeing this, and partly to torture the people who vowed to comment on every post they read for the entire month of February. }:) Let's see if they can keep it up.

Hi, and welcome to my blog! If you are here, you are awesome. I post about Star Wars, writing, and other stuff. 


Follow me! (revolutionary chorus plays in the background) A little bit about me:

Amaranthine Scylla Degada is a pianist, dancer, writer, reader, and Killer of Plants who still wishes she had been born a duck. She has very widespread interests and has a tiny smidgen of talent in almost every field except art and gardening. 

As of February Third, 2011 she has written one novel and countless short stories with no plot. She has two pets, ahem, younger brothers.

She lives in a nice big white house surrounded by daisy and rose bushes and scrawny fruit trees which only survive because her grandmother comes every week to take care of them.

She loves Star Wars and has read almost every Star Wars novel published. She is a Christian who believes that life passes way too quickly, which is why she still has trouble writing "2008" on her school assignments.

For more information, read about me on the ongoing, never ending,  sometimes-insensible February "challenge."

    You're evil.
    What I've been doing is I just don't read the posts I know I won't have anything to say on.

    A duck? I suppose it would be pretty interesting to be a duck. I have a pet (little brother) of my own, and I would be happy to trade for a less annoying one. Jk, right now he's actually being fun.

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 overwhelmed by our sins,      you forgive them a

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

Ciel Phantomhive vs. Artemis Fowl

  Don't laugh. XD The similarities between the two characters are so distinct and obvious that comparison is inevitable for anyone who's read/watched both series. I seriously thought when I first noticed Black Butler(more popularly referred to as Kuroshitsuji) that it was literally an anime adaption of Artemis Fowl.  Other people have read Artemis Fowl and thought "CIEL HAS A CLONE??!?" So I thought I'd outline some of the differences and analyze who would win. XD Similarities: Appearance:  This is the first similarity, and one of the most major, because if they didn't look so darn alike I don't think the comparison would have been as striking. The above picture of Artemis is a fanart, because there aren't really any good pictures of Artemis, and the manga style makes it more obvious. They are both from the British Isles and have black hair and blue eyes. Both of them lose/change/switch an eye resulting in two different colors.
