Prank Wars! 10 Funny Back to School Pranks and Other School Hacks Prank Wars! 10 Funny Back to School Pranks and Other School Hacks

[greatneedtotakeanap]

i binge read

episode 7 - the son of neptune

all right. here we go.

The biggest question that stuck in my mind after reading this book is why the HELL did Nico pretend like he didn’t know who Percy was??? What does he have to gain from this? How did he even get to Camp Jupiter in the first place???? I mean I know he was in the Underworld searching for Bianca but she was reborn into a new life, and I know he found Hazel instead. But how did they get to camp from there? What is Nico’s role at said camp? And why didn’t he tell anybody, especially when Percy showed up????? Also, where did he go?

Secondary question: The prophecy that Ella spouted didn’t come true. It obviously says the son of Neptune shall drown, and we know that’s a stand-alone line since it rhymes with crown. Could it perhaps have been talking about a different son of Neptune? When Percy fell into the earth in Seward and then into the sea at the glacier, does that count? If not, what is to become of that prophecy????

Anyways, on to the characters! Starting with Hazel since she’s new. The first time reading this book, I don’t remember much about her except that her backstory totally confused me. Now, though, I think I get it more. I think it’s interesting how Hazel and death are almost their own relationship dynamic. Like the way she’s become so in sync with it, not just because she’s a child of Pluto but because she experienced it firsthand for most of her consciousness. This helped me better understand her blackouts - they’re caused by her trying to be in two places/time periods/realms at the same time. Otherwise, it’s high time we needed a Black protagonist who doesn’t die as soon as they get some favorable airtime (*cough cough BECKENDORF*). Plus the fact that she’s a girl just did it for me. I love her so much - she was my role model as a kid, even if I didn’t exactly understand her. Her relationship with Arion the horse was also so cool for me to watch - it was like she was almost a horse girl, but more badass, and also Black. I did remember that Sammy-her-boyfriend was also Sammy Valdez, so every time she mentioned him it kind of hurt, because he acted exactly like Leo. Anyway.

Frank Zhang has got a lot on his plate. I did not understand his family history at all the first time reading this, and in that respect... nothing has changed. He’s somehow related to Neptune as well as Mars?? The intersection of Chinese and Roman mythology involved so many different names I couldn’t keep them straight, but his shapeshifting power runs in the family and it’s not only rare - it’s unique. So I guess the point was his history made him totally op, so he got a physical, destructable lifeline to hold onto to nerf him so he wouldn’t overthrow the gods themselves. Fair. Grandma Zhang was one of my favorite characters in that book. Just the way she talked, both in his memories and in real life - I loved it. So realistic.

One minor problem with this book - Frazel. Don’t get me wrong, it’s adorable. But the age gap concerns me. It’s not that big, not big enough to be problematic - not like Lukabeth. But that would be like a high school junior dating an eighth grader. .........Weird. I like to pretend Hazel is 14 at least. Maybe Frank is 15, or just turned 16. I dunno. It just kind of makes me feel icky. Otherwise their dynamic was great. I loved how they considered each other friends above all.

I have done my fair share of essays about (the man the myth the legend) Percy himself throughout this series, so I’ll keep this short. But his amnesia was, in a way, more painful than Jason’s to witness as a reader, because we knew the answers. We could fill in the blanks for him. Jason was a clean slate - we knew about as much as he did. But with Percy, it hurt because we just wanted to shout out the answer for him. We just wanted to tell him who he was. It was invigorating to watch him discover it for himself, though. Forge a new self from the pieces he’d forgotten.

Octavian was annoying, but not as annoying as I expected. He’s actually a pretty great villain if you look at him right. He’s got serious potential - he’s crafty and smart, sneaky enough to stab Gwen in the back and calculating enough to know nobody would suspect him. He fascinates me. (The only scenes I really hated him in were the scene where he killed Gwen, because duh, and the scene where he slaughtered the poor pillow pet. Let Percy have a panda, damn. Such a loss.)

Reyna. Oh my god. What a queen. What an absolute legendary iconic queen. She could run me over with her pegasus and I’d thank her. She needs to stop falling for taken guys though. Watching her get her heart broken twice is not gonna be fun next book. (date me instead)

And - oh! I can’t believe I almost forgot about Ella. Easily one of my favorite characters in this series so far. My girl is gorgeous wonderful incredible amazing show-stopping never the same totally unique. Love her to death. Not sure if I liked her romance with Tyson, for no other reason than it just feels kind of forced - at this point you can tell the romance area is being played up a LOT. (Otherwise I wouldn’t think twice about Reyna ending up alone - but because she’s like the only character in the whole series who does, new questions arise.)

The end of this book is about where my memory stops when it comes to this series. Mostly because I didn’t own copies of MOA, HOH or BOO until like last week, so when I tried to reread the books two years ago, I only got up until now before I gave up trying to find them. But I’m really excited to reread these, because I literally have no memory of anything in Mark of Athena besides the traumatizing horrifying gut-wrenching heartbreaking ending.

I ALSO WANNA KNOW WHERE THE HELL NICO IS LIKE SIR??????

Get Stuffed : Making Stuffed Animals Out of Old Sweaters

Hi readers! Welcome to Hobby du Jour – blog of an ambitious twenty-something who can’t decide on a steady hobby. Each week, I will attempt a new hobby and document the experience behind the glue gun.

My first hobby is one that is close to my heart. My cousin, Ashley, gave birth to twins this past week (little girls!) and as a gift to them, I really wanted to do something special. I had stumbled across the idea of repurposing the clothing of departed loved ones, and it stuck. Ashley, my cousins, and myself were all very close with our maternal grandfather, our Papa. He passed away in 2012, and we all miss him very dearly. He also left behind a bunch of sweaters, which would be perfect material for Teddy Bears.

Ashley’s husband, TJ, lost his father when he was in high school, and I wanted to incorporate him too. So I secretly reached out to TJ’s brother, and got him to send me some old shirts of their Dad’s that weren’t being worn or used for something else. He sent me two of their Dad’s beloved flannels, and I set out to try and incorporate all my materials into the perfect gift.

Playing around with ideas, I settled on Panda Bears as my inspiration. I could use the white sweater from our Papa as the body, and a separate flannel for each bear as the features. This way the bears would match, but be distinctive enough to be able to tell which one belonged to which twin. I sketched out ideas, and finally set out to sew.

It is important to note here that my sewing experience is of my own making. My mother guided me in my early years, but it wasn’t until recently that I took the time and patience to really put some craftsmanship into it. Even with that disclaimer, these bears were much harder than I anticipated (all my crafts usually are).

The material of both flannel shirts was incredibly delicate, and had to be stitched in multiple rows just to hold. My proportions for the first set of arms were totally off, and sewing the eye markings on with thread was a complete failure (I ended up using embroidery string). But somehow, amidst all this miscalculation and mishap, I got the bears done. Not only that, but I LOVED how they turned out. They were simple and old fashioned and they meant so much.

I’m so glad I powered through and finished them when I did, because Ashley went into labor the very next day and my gift was ready to go. In terms of hobbies and crafty projects, this one may have been the most meaningful, because of the reaction I got out of Ashley and TJ. They cried and hugged me tighter than they’ve ever hugged me before.

That’s the beauty of hobbies: they are rooted in the human experience. We immerse ourselves in hobbies, not only to pass the time, but also to create something unique and meaningful. It’s not about the price tag, or the latest fad, but rather the investment of time and thought into an action. Perhaps that’s why I’m constantly on a quest to find a new hobby, because the experience and the results are always so rewarding.

Tag Game

Rules: Tag some people you want to get to know better. I was tagged by the lovely @waywardlodging hanks hon!

This one is kind of long, so I’m gonna put it under a cut.  ;)

Appearance: I’m five foot four, and rock my curves.  I have blue eyes and hair that is constantly changing.  It’s got natural curl to it, but if I keep brushing it while it’s wet, it will dry fairly straight; if I don’t brush it at all after I shower, and put in my curl cream, it is nice and curly.  I love it!  It’s naturally a medium brown, but I haven’t been my natural color in years. I like to play with my hair a lot...I’ve been about every shade under the rainbow - blond, various shades of brown and red, plus had streaks/highlights of pink, royal blue, plum, and teal.  Right now, it’s two tone - reddish brown at the roots that goes into a dark purple.  Next time I think I’m going to do a medium dark blue with plum streaks.  Or do a dark purple with violet and lavender highlights...or...  who knows!

Personality: I am a massive introvert.  With my friends, I sometimes get in a chatty mood, especially if your talking about a passion of mine (SPN, Tolkien, music, books, quilting, painting, etc).  And I can enjoy the occasional party or club, but I need time afterwards to decompress alone.  Hubs and I have a standing rule that at least one weekend a quarter I get a pajama weekend, where I don’t leave the house or have company.  I just get to be quiet, watching tv, reading/writing, or crafting by myself.  He goes out with his friends or maybe has them over on the main level while I’m in my craft room in the basement.  I’m also fiercely loyal to friends and family, and I’m a great listener.

Ability: I’m creative and a great researcher.  I’m also good at editing and proofreading, which comes in very handy at my job.  

If there was one ability I wish I had, it would be the ability to speak any dialect of any language in the universe - kind of like having the Tardis in your head, except it wouldn’t translate everything into English, I’d just immediately know their language and be able to speak it as well.  This includes conversing with animals!

Hobbies: Reading and writing are my two main hobbies.  I’ve been doing both since I was a child and I still love it to this day.  I’m also a crafty person - and I was thrilled when Hubs built me a craft room last year.  I love to quilt - both regular style and rag style.  And I like to paint/draw.  Chalk pastels and acrylics are currently my favorite mediums, though I did take some watercolor lessons while I was on a cruise last month, so I will probably branch out and start playing with those soon.  I have oil paints (they came with an artists’ set) but I have no idea how to use them yet (anyone out there know a good tutorial?).  I also make jewelry and seasonal/holiday wreaths on occasion. I’d love to learn how to knit or crochet, but I need another hobby like a hole in the head.

A completely separate, but no less fun hobby - Hubs and I are both certified Advanced Open Water scuba divers.  When we lived in Arkansas, we were only thirty minutes away from a wonderful diving lake, and we’d go almost every weekend.  We also dive on our vacations - we’ve had dives in Cozumel (#1 place to dive so far), and Hawaii.

Experiences: I like how Josephine shared one negative and one positive experience, and I think I’ll do the same.  I’ll start with the negative and end with the positive. 

Hubs and I have tried for children for eight and a half years now with no luck.  A few years ago, we decided to became foster parents.  My best friend was fostering two sisters, ages 2 and 3. We’d known the girls for months, and they spent lots of time at our house, spending the night and having fun. We let my BF know to let the case worker know if they ended up having parental rights terminated, we wanted to adopt them (BF was only fostering - she was not feeling a call to adopt).  The case worker agreed and told us the foster parents of the girls’ brothers wanted to adopt the boys.  So it looked like everything was good to go and we prepared for the arrival of our daughters.  Two days before the TPR hearing was set, we were told that the family of the boys’ were now petitioning to adopt all four children.  We knew the judge would attempt to keep siblings together whenever possible.  Sure enough, the other family adopted them.  We found out later that they truly only intended to adopt the boys, but were told by an unethical adoption worker that if they didn’t adopt all four, they would get the boys taken away - which was completely untrue on more than one level.  That particular worker has since been fired for his actions - but we still lost our girls. 

Now for one of many, many wonderful experiences while being a foster parent.  Our first official placement was two days before Halloween, 2014 - a little girl we called Boo on social media.  Boo was almost two and a half, and she was a sweet, quiet little thing.  We had her for a while and she never really spoke or initiated physical contact/hugs (there was NO abuse in her case, btw).  One day in December, I woke her up and was pulling her out clothes for the day, and I heard her sweet little voice say “Mama” and felt her little arms around my leg.  Y’all, I dropped her off at daycare and then bawled my eyes out.  She was able to go back home to her mother late that April, and her family and I have stayed in touch ever since.

My life: Hmmm....not sure what to say for this one.  I’ve had a pretty good life overall.  My parents are my rocks.  And this year, they’ve both had massive health scares and ended up in the hospital several days.  They are amazing people and they raised my (twin) brother and I to be thoughtful, compassionate people, with a strong faith in Jesus.  I was baptized when I was eleven, and one of my favorite things to do now is going to my core group meetings once a week with five other ladies from my church.  My family is one of the most important things to me - my mom was one of 12 and dad one of 4, so I have lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins, whom I love very much.  And that’s not even counting Hub’s family - he was his mother’s only child, but with divorce and remarriages, between his half-siblings and his step-siblings, he is now one of 8!

I thought for a long, long time I was never going to find someone to love me.  I never really dated in high school - had one “boyfriend” that wasn’t really a boyfriend for a month or so.  Even in college, I didn’t really date.  Though I had a lot of guy friends - I was “one of the guys” a lot.  One of them, I can honestly say was my first love, but it never worked out (we are still friends though).  I was 27 before I met Hubs, ironically through a friend of mine who was dating him at the time.  She told me he wasn’t for her, but she thought we’d be a good match.  She was dead on.  We’d only been dating four months when he proposed, and we married less than eleven months after we met - and celebrated ten years last month!  

Random Stuff: I have five furry babies - three dogs: Drago (Drake), a 12 year old shepherd/pit mix; Panda, a 10 year old shepherd/pit/corgi mix, and Drake’s daughter, and Heidi, a 2.5 year old full blooded Australian Shepherd; and two cats: Tahoe, a 13 year old tabby, and Chloe, a 5 year old muted calico.  

Tagging anyone who wants to participate, along with @sdavid09 and @winchesterprincessbride and @impala-dreamer and @life-is-righteous, cause I’m curious as to what they’d say.  ;)
