Yeah!! I'm excited!!

[Kyleigh]

ME TOO. But, just to clarify one more time, WE HAVE TO START ON THE 3RD BECAUSE PRESIDENTS DAY IS APPARENTLY ON THE 15th ... I think it should be on the 12th though.

it is

[Dogluver]

The movie does open on the 12th. I just got a magazine where it said, "opens February 12th." So, we're good. ^_^

[Alex , "Dance you guys! You look stupid just standing there!" -Thalia]

Yeah, so it makes for sense.

[Kyleigh]

Okay then. IT STARTS ON THE 12TH SO START READING ON THE FIRST!!!

[Dogluver]

Yeah, we know. No need for all caps, just saying.

[Alex , "Dance you guys! You look stupid just standing there!" -Thalia]

Lol!!!

[Dogluver]

^_^

[Kyleigh]

Fine then! Haha! Just kidding! 8)

[Nightshade, You better watch it! Next time I'm gonna reap your soul!]

Hey, this is kinda like the schedule I set up for myself when TLO came out. :D I read one book every two days! It was like...

TLT
SOM
Stolen Chariot (short story)
TC
Bronze Dragon (short story)
BOTL
Sword of Hades (the most epic short story EVER)
TLO!!!!!!!!!!!

[Alex , "Dance you guys! You look stupid just standing there!" -Thalia]

(I agree. That was an amazing short story!)
And yeah!!! Thats good! But some poeple can't read that fast and some just don't have the time.
I just found out I have to read a classic novel for that exact time. (Like seriously, it ends on the 12. Kinda scary...)
So if you want to do it thats fine. I do that usually when the last movie comes out. Read all the books, watch all the movies. It's really fun to cram it in there. :) I'm doing it for harry potter.

[Kyleigh]

Oh yeah, the short stories from the demigod files. Cool!! 8)

[Nightshade, You better watch it! Next time I'm gonna reap your soul!]

OMG the short stories in The Demigod Files are COMPLETELY AMAZING. Total Percabeth in Bronze Dragon, which I loved, plus TOTAL AWESOMENESS involving Thalia in Sword of Hades. My reaction was like "OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG THALIA SQUEEEEEEEE NO WAY OMGOMGOMGOMG"

I was rather excited. Although I couldn't jump up and down and scream and run in circles and giggle like an idiot at Annabeth's interview, because I was walking through Target. DARN MY IMPATIENCE! If I had waited until we'd gotten home, I could've spazzed all I wanted! Oh well.

OMG ME TOO! I've done that for every HP movie! ^_^

[Alex , "Dance you guys! You look stupid just standing there!" -Thalia]

Me too!!!!

[Nightshade, You better watch it! Next time I'm gonna reap your soul!]

I haven't had time to do that for the HP movies :( But I am SO doing that for the 7th!

...if I remember to. O_O

[Alex , "Dance you guys! You look stupid just standing there!" -Thalia]

LOL!!! I will remind you.

[Dogluver]

Well, we'll have to do it twice cuz the 7th book is going to be 2 movies. More rereading and rewatching! Lol

[Alex , "Dance you guys! You look stupid just standing there!" -Thalia]

LOL true. But thats okay.

[Nightshade, You better watch it! Next time I'm gonna reap your soul!]

That's okay, I looove HP :D

What's wrong with spazzing out in Target...?

[Kyleigh]

Haha!! I've done it before! When I was in kindergarten and I lost my first tooth!!

[Alex , "Dance you guys! You look stupid just standing there!" -Thalia]

What??

[Kyleigh]

I spazzed out in Target...

[Nightshade, You better watch it! Next time I'm gonna reap your soul!]

LOL nice :D

I was standing in the middle of the book section, and my sister was looking at a bunch of books while I stood there reading The Demigod Files with the Borders receipt sticking out of the front (so they wouldn't think I was stealing it)... and then I was reading the end of Bronze Dragon and grinning like an idiot, then I had to clamp a hand over my mouth so I wouldn't run around screaming and waving my arms and stuff. XD

[Alex , "Dance you guys! You look stupid just standing there!" -Thalia]

OMG!!!!! I freaked out too!!!!!! Only, luckily for me it was at my house.

[Diana, or, Mrs. Annabeth Jackson]

One time (not with PJO, with The Wizard Heir--read it!!) I freaked out on the bus after school. I didn't want to scream or anything, but I just sort...squirmed. Like, I guess if I wasn't sitting on a moving bus then I would be jumping up and down. But not in a happy way--something really, really bad was happening, and I felt so powerless as I watched it unfold before my eyes and I wanted to scream and cry and rip the book in half. But I just sat there and hyperventilated and I guess I did this twitching thing. It was the only way I could get it out!

[Alex , "Dance you guys! You look stupid just standing there!" -Thalia]

Awwwww!!!!!! Sad!!!!

[Alex , "Dance you guys! You look stupid just standing there!" -Thalia]

Okay guys! This is our plan for the 12 days!

3- Clean Your Cabin Day: Clean your room and have a family member or friend (maybe someone Aphrodite-ish) do “Cabin Inspection” for you (rate 1-3, and tell us what you got! Whoever has the lowest score has to do the dishes. (And we'll know if you did, because we're so cool like that. Lol! )
4- Haiku Day: Make up random haikus (7 syllables, then 5, then 7
5- Watch Hercules with your friends!! If you don't have the movie, try and watch it on youtube or something!

Awesome! I'll try to do all of those that I can, but the sad thing is- I can't see the movie on Friday! *sob* I have theatre practice after school and a math team competition the next morning, so I can't stay up late. But I'm already planning on seeing it Saturday night!

[Resa]

So my birthday is Haiku Day huh? XD

[Diana, or, Mrs. Annabeth Jackson]

Yeah! Wait is it 5-7-5 or 7-5-7? I always forget...

[Dogluver]

5-7-5

[Diana, or, Mrs. Annabeth Jackson]

Ok, we can make you a birthday haiku on that day. :)

[Nightshade, You better watch it! Next time I'm gonna reap your soul!]

YAAAY! XD

[Alex , "Dance you guys! You look stupid just standing there!" -Thalia]

Awesome!!!!!!!!
And I have an idea for a day that we don't have! We should have like, a god symbol/animal day!!
Idk what we could do for it, but we can think, right!!??

[Dogluver]

Yeah! That's sounds cool! ^_^

[Alex , "Dance you guys! You look stupid just standing there!" -Thalia]

What could we do though?

[Alex , "Dance you guys! You look stupid just standing there!" -Thalia]

Oh and we can have a watch Hercules day!!

[Dogluver]

Yeah!!! Wait, didn't we have that before??? Yeah, that's Day 5! ^_^

[Alex , "Dance you guys! You look stupid just standing there!" -Thalia]

Yeah, I fixed it! I put it on a friday so you could do it with friends.

[Dogluver]

Kk! ^_^

[Alex , "Dance you guys! You look stupid just standing there!" -Thalia]

So hows your Percy Jackson week been so far?!?!?!
I had BLUE pancakes yesterday!! And I tried (And failed epically) to make blue jello. And I got blue gatorade and ate chips from a blue bag!!!
Today I yelled really loud "11 MORE DAYS UNTIL PERCY JACKSON!!!" in my P.E. locker room. I got some crazy stares....
And I just said random quotes all day.

[Diana, or, Mrs. Annabeth Jackson]

Yesterday I forgot about the first day of PJO! Aah! I remebered at one point, but I didn't have any blue food ready. I thought about it though.

[Alex , "Dance you guys! You look stupid just standing there!" -Thalia]

Awww sad!!!! You should do it tomorrow though!!
