It's funny how we used to make a new blog every few days, and now they're all turning in the once every few months ritual. I wish we could all talk more. I miss you all dearly. But, I am doing better in school this year. It seems now that my distractions from Avatar are gone that I can concentrate on what matters.

Sophomore year is pretty fun. Freshman year still has the best memories, but all in all, it has been a pretty great year so far. I remember coming home from eighth grade and getting on TV.com. Wow, those were some good times.

Marching Band is pretty good. We've had one competition so far and we were the grand champions for the fourth year in a row. We have another contest Saturday in North Carolina. Wish us luck.

I've taken the motive to read a lot more. I'm almost done with reading 'Wuthering Heights'. It's a novel from the early 1900's, about a girl and boy who fall in love but come from two, completely different lifestyles. And for you Twilight fans out there, yes, it was the book that kept popping up in 'Eclipse'. I've started reading Harry Potter some more, so I could really have an input in the whole Twilight vs. Harry Potter controversy. I'll let you know my full opinion after I finish 'The chamber of Secrets', but at this moment, I am rooting for Twilight. I finished the the first three books in 6 days back in April, and I've been reading Harry Potter for three weeks now.

And if you people haven't heard, the new Twilight Trailer is out. It is made of pure win. Epik epik epik win. 39 more days until November 21st.

Election Day is coming up. It sort of scares me to think of what one person could do in office if he were to get it. I won't express my political views on this matter, but I am certainly afraid of the 'Change Campaign'.

Soo, enough about me. How is everyone?

Oh, and P.S.

This new format on TV.com sucks.

Have a nice day.

(:

In case you haven't heard the news...TWILIGHT COMES OUT NOVEMBER 21ST INSTEAD OF DECEMBER 12TH! AHHH!

(I heard about this last friday when I saw the press release, but I haven't had a chance to blog)

Sorry, Harry Potter fans...

It really sucks that we have to wait till July of 2009 for HP6. But on the Bright Side, DH will be out sooner after that.

If I had to take my pick, I would pick Twilight though ^^

Sorry.

Yeah, I started school today. I'm a sophomore. Woot woot. It kind of rocks not having to be a freshman anymore.

Band Camp was horrible. Ugh. But, Band is going okay...I guess.

Breaking Dawn...AMAZING! Most people hated it, but I loved it! So many twists...

Also, I've got quite of an addiction to The Secret Life of The American Teenager. It's really good, and it's being filling the deep holes of no more Avatar and Twilight. Ben and Amy forever!

Anyone else starting to feel the After-Avatar aftermath? Suprisingly, I'm not. I don't know if I'm not feeling it because we had to wait in Hiatus's so long or what...I truly miss it though ):

Aaaaaaaaaavatar! ):

*Cries*

I still get chills when I watch the kiss.

And still cry when I see the ending...

The finale of my favorite show ever was amazing. Truly amazing. I loved it, and I truly can't believe it's over now. My thoughts of it, can't be described, and me telling you how much I loved it, won't be expressed how I want it to come out. The action scenes were terrific, and everything else was spectacular as well. Not to mention that my favorite ship made it level Canon. But, I am having a hard time adjusting to the fact that it's over now. Part of me is screaming, "I can't wait to see what happens next!", but we won't... We won't. I sat for two hours on my couch crying last night, balling actually. I just can't believe it! I don't want it to be over! It can't... It's just too bittersweet, and I regret rushing Avatar by spoling myself and cursing at Mike and Bryan for waiting 10 months for a new episode. I regret it with all my heart. The moments when we were waiting for Avatar were truly precious, and I will never forget them. But, I know as times passes we will be able to live without Avatar, but right now, to me, it seems impossible. But, I will have my friends to share this wonderful show with for forever and these memories will never leave me. Ever. I want to thank you all for being so great. I love you all, and to me you truly are family to me. Every single one of you. We are and always will be Avatards, and as long as we have that our memories will always be here, and the legacy of the Greatest Show Ever, and the Greatest fandom ever will always live with us.

Much Love,

Meredith.

So... This week's going to be exciting isn't it? Avatar starts monday...we have a week of that...Then the finale...Then it's over. Over. : ( I can't believe it. It seems like yesterday we were full of AWS waiting for Season three and counting down the days till season three started...And now it's coming to an end. Geez, I just made myself cry. But, hey! Let's look at the brightside! It's the finale!- What we've been waiting forever for! The answer to whether Aang beats the firelord, how these shipping wars will end, but...It's the end. No more speculating...Erghh. I have to keep looking at the brightside. I can't wait for 317. I was watching the 7 minute clip of it a few days ago, and just caught the part about Sokka saying, "It includes Singing Nomads..." Yesss! Kataang! 202! Squee!

Mk, so 21 more days till Breaking Dawn!!!! SPAZZ! aoinsfuabfuiabfs;ayfbp8aewb!!! AHHH., EDWARD CULLEN MARRYING BELLA...(If stupid Jacob doesn't interrupt...) But, anyways. Stephenie Meyer said she would start releasing quotes tomorrow for it. Yayz!

And summer has been amazing so far. The cruise to the Bahama's was loads of fun, although it's warmer in Virginia than it was down there. 0_o.,

I have Band Camp starting Monday. Seems like I was just saying that a few days ago when it was last year...But I start REAL band camp the 27th. Joy. -.-

This is probably my last blog until...You know What (Not Voldemort) is over... : (

Yes, I am officially a sophomore!! Today was my last day of school until August 20th. Yippee. Summer 08 is going to be great, we have:

Cruise!

Avatar Finale!

Breaking Dawn!

So many things to look forward to. Yesss!

Well, I started reading something Thursday, April 24th. That's right-- I read a book. And it's called Twilight. I picked this book up from the beggining that morning and was through to page 30 in one period at school, and thought, "This is interesting" And by the end of that night, I was through to page 200. Do you really want to know what this book is about?-- I bet some of you already know though. Twilight is about a girl named, Bella, whose mother and father get a divorce, and when her mother gets remarried, bella decides to move up to Forks, Washington to live with her father. Bella goes into her new highschool thinking she will be the average girl everyone ignores, but instead every boy crawls over her. She doesn't really care about any of that either, and then she see's an odd family at a nearby lunch whose last names are the Cullens and each one is very beautiful, and the particular one she see's is Edward. But things do change when she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen. For Edward is nothing like any boy she's ever met. He's nothing like anyone she's ever met, period. He's intelligent and witty, and he seems to see straight into her soul. In no time at all, they are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance - unorthodox because Edward really isn't like the other boys. He can run faster than a mountain lion. He can stop a moving car with his bare hands. Oh, and he hasn't aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he's immortal. That's right - vampire. But he doesn't have fangs - that's just in the movies. And he doesn't drink human blood, though Edward and his family are unique among vampires in that lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. Somehow or other, they will have to manage their unmanageable love. But what will they do when Laurent and James, the Cullens' mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for Bella? A modern, visual, and visceral Romeo and Juliet story of the ultimate forbidden love affair - between vampire and mortal. This love story isn't like anything I've ever read, or seen. It's two people who aren't supposed to be together but are anyways, not considering Edward can't kiss Bella in ways a normal couple could, because he has to control the part of him that lusts for Bella's blood.

Okay, So I read Twilight from Thursday morning until Saturday night when I finished it. And I started the Sequel called, "New Moon" Sunday morning, and quickly had it done by Monday night, and to me that's really good considering New moon is 563 pages.

After I read New moon, I needed more. I then bought the third book, called, "Eclipse" Eclipse was by far my favorite, and I started it Tuesday at noon, and had it done by Wedensday Night. And it was a total of a whopper of 629 pages. And you ask, "What could carry on from a plot like that into Sequels?"

Well, There is almost suicide, proposals, death, love triangles, action and battle scenes, and Vampire Smex...? Yeah, haha. I wouldn't read Eclipse unless you are 13.

Twilight is an amazing story, and much to suprise, it put Harry Potter to number nine when Eclipse came out. http://youtube.com/watch?v=kiq3qbmK8Z0 That'll just give you a clue how popular it is.

And boy's have probably heard girls say, "Oh my Gosh! Edward Cullen is amazing. He is so dreamy! I want to marry him!" Yeah, even though he's fictional, he's my dream guy.

- And the Twilight Movie Comes out December 12th-- Trailer: http://youtube.com/watch?v=xBvOhfL4mYw

EVEN IF you are a boy, you should read it. I garuntee you, if you pick up the way Edward Cullen is, you'll have girls crawling all over you. And ecspecially if you love romance, you should read it. (I like Twilight better...Than Kataang. Wow that hurt to type) Twilight sure helps with AWS too. I dread the wait till July for Avatar, but right after Avatar ends, the 775 page fourth Twilight book will be out in August, called Breaking Dawn.

Oh, I leave for the Bahama's on a cruise saturday, wish me luck and safe travels, haha. ONE MORE DAY OF SCHOOL LEFT! We don't get out till Thursday, but we don't go to school on Memorial day, and I don't have to go to school Tuesday or Thursday because exams I don't have to take, and so Wedensday is my last day : D

Btw, it's in the 80's now in Southwest Virginia, yay. I love it, because 80 degrees is the most comfortable weather ever. It's supposed to be 86 today 8) But, I was outside reading Twilight yesterday, and got burnt so bad, it's not even funny, haha.

Hey Hey Hey It's- Meredith! Saturday was great, right? The minute after I saw that trailer my friends from Dongbu Feng and I had the biggest Fangasms someone on the internet could have. It was so much fun! And the Ember Island Players- THAT WAS THE FUNNIEST THINK I had ever seen! It was great!

And so then...Suki returns. I'm not a really supportive person of Sukka (A.K.A George). I do have to admit that the kissing scene was cute, and I felt like pushing someone off a cliff of utter happiness after I saw it, but still, Sukka isn't great for me. BUT WAS THAT PART WHERE TOPH AND SOKKA HELD HANDS AH FRICKIN' DORABLE?!!?

So... Ursa is in this mirror. Could Azula be having a Good VS. Evil meltdown and newly crowned Fire Lord, or is Ursa really there?

And so that I can get this out of the way...

Since I particularly don't want to be debating on the trailer until July, I'm going to just end my part in the debate now. Kataang and Zutara fans, alike, were ecstatic in rage, happiness, and like me, confusion. Since the trailer has been released last night I have been examining every part down to the multi-second, and I was right. The first thing that interested me was catching the fact that the Kataang kiss was a night, and the Zutara hug was at sunset, therefore it being Fan Advertisement. And can you really blame Mike and Bryan? More than half their fandom is Zutara, and if you were them wouldn't you want to keep over half the fandom interested? I know I would. Now for my rant- Zutaraians are taking this info with a great deal of excitement, like they should. Their ship finally has something to claim maybe canon, and with Katara pulling away from Aang's kiss they have even more proof. I just think that rabid Zutara shippers should look at the skies in both scenes. The Kataang kiss was at night, and the Zutara hug was at sunset. This means that the hug either happened before or after the kiss, but it clears the theory out, that Katara automatically runs to Zuko. If we had seen Katara running to Zuko, and it had been night when the hug happened, it would be different. There are several possibilities of the kiss too, which I will try to explain. One being that in the seven minute clip of The Ember Island Players that Zuko was sitting in between Katara and Aang. Aang might've been upset over the play, and he might've dreamed that Katara rejected him. I don't really like the dream theory though. It seems too common, and I just don't see It happening. But my second theory seems likely, to me at least. A person on Dongbu Feng chat told me I sounded crazy for stating this theory. I think Aang might've made a confession of a lifetime or maybe, just maybe, he mentioned the Avatar State. It's possible. He might've said something about it and just dived into kiss her. The scene looks like Ember Island, and Aang might have confessed. He might have said, "I love you, Katara", and she was just simply surprised. Who wouldn't be? Katara wasn't repulsed. She was surprised about something, or in shock, either one. And as you can see, she DID NOT back away with a repulsed look NOR did she run to Zuko in that scene. She simply had a look of shock and put her hand over her mouth. And then camera fades to Katara hugging Zuko...At sunset? Now here's my theory on the Katara hugging Zuko theory. Personally I don't think that Zuko will be involved with the gang and their fight against the firelord. Zuko said so in DOBS that it was Aang's destiny to defeat the firelord, not his. So why would he stick around and defeat him? Zuko has already done his part in ending the war. He taught the Avatar firebending. I think the person Zuko will fight is Azula, but that's a different subject. Anyways, I think Katara hugged him for one reason and one reason only. Maybe it's because she was a jerk when she shouldn't have been. A time where she threatened to kill him if he laid a hand on Aang. When she uncaringly made fun of him for losing his firebending, and most of, not trusting him. The hug might be Katara's way of saying, "I'm sorry, Zuko. If I could take everything back I would. Good luck!", and goes along with my theory all along of Katara and Zuko having a very close friendship. I have to admit though- I did think the fighting scene was cute. And it made me take a double take on the trailer. But this all leads to what I said in the beginning about using the advertisement. You do remember seeing The Crossroads of Destiny trailer, correct? Zutara fans all claimed Zutara would happen and it didn't. But the season two finale had the most viewers of all at 4.4 million. That's exactly what the creators want. They want a lot of viewers, and giving Zutaraians a scene is the exact way to do it. Kudos' to you, Mike and Bryan.

Katara also bloodbends in the trailer, you can see her hand in the position in one part, but I am too lazy to go dig up the cap of it.

This cap doesn't look particulary special, correct? WRONG. The Bloodbending picture that I was talking about Katara has the same gloves as she did here. I can almost give you proof that this is from 316. I'll even bet you! Why Else would Zuko and Katara be together? THEY ARE GOING TO LOOK FOR THEIR MOMS! And who do you actually think Katara would use bloodbending on-? Someone who killed her mother? Yup, that's right.

Well I have to be going.

Meredith

Hey people! Too long, no speakie, I do believe so. Grades are going good. Report cards come out next monday though, rofl. Haha. Not too scared this time.

So, it turns out in some way, that I am royalty(Call it what you wish), but my uncle is the prime minister of Australia. Weird, huh? I didn't even know about it till yesterday, rofl.

So, I was on chat, on DBF earlier, and turns out I meet a guy that lives ten minutes from me. I thought it was pretty cool. His highschool has a soccer game with my highschool in a few weeks, so I'm going to go to it.

So, Comiccon. Who's going? I can't make it! It is so sad! Turns out, I have District Jazz band. This is the first year of it in district, and it was honorable. I mean, I am proud I get to be in District, but I want to go to ComicCon so bad! I'll not even be here for the live showing (Theavatarportal.org is showing The comic con LIVE from New York itself, so you lucky people who will be home-- Watch it, and tell me about it later.)

Well, ungrounded at last. I squeezed out a B in spanish for mid terms : -D. It's so great to be back.

So, I was on the Hannah Montana forum last night, just checking in on some new episodes coming out, and such (I really am a fan of this show ^^). But then I looked in a relationship thread for a couple I don't really support called, "Loliver". So, then I see a post by a loliver supporter, and I wanted to debate with it. Nothing wrong, eh? Here was the post:

"There are so many shows where the main cast ends up with the only boy/girl. Like Raven and Eddie from That's So Raven.

Dont let this happen. Give Miley to Jake and leave Lily and Oliver alone!"

I thought this post was kind of rude, so I wanted to debate- still nothing wrong yet. This post reminded me of the Zutaraians in the avatar forum, wanting zutara to happen so much that they just say, "Well, Aang can have toph!". So I wrote a friendly debatical (is that a word?) reply:

" Well, thats kinda rude. You don't just hand someone to someone because you don't like them and another person together. Miley and Jake have very well stated they just want to be friends. I don't know if Jake is confirmed to come back, but I seriously can't see Jiley happening again. Yes, lily and Oliver would be kinda cute, but I still love the best friends becoming more than friends Cliche. I choose Moliver, because I love the cliche. Yeah, it doesn't seem likely ,but, nothing wrong with a lil' molivetism. : -D"

So, I woke up this morning to see if I had replies, because I love getting in debates, and my post was gona and I had a message. I had a TOS warning for "TROLLING?!?!?!". I'm sorry, but if you can't make a debate in a forum, there is no need in having it. I might contact the editor of the forum later this afternoon. I mean, I called someone stupid on the avatar forum and didn't get in trouble. It's almost like I posted that I liked something different and got my post removed for my opinion.

ERGHH.

Have you noticed, I haven't been here in forever...? Yes, I indeed was and still am...GROUNDED. I got an F on my report card in Spanish. I get ungrounded next monday, if I have at least a B on spanish Mid-terms, So that's a good thing. I am thinking I will be back. So, bye for another week. Love you all!
