Even I Need to Leave the House

So for those of you that don't know homeschooling is another way of saying you can work at your won pace. while my pace is remarkably faster then most students, my sisters never seem to be done. I'm the oldest, I do the most work, I get good grades, there is no reason my sisters shouldn't be done right? They just don't seem to get that their inadequacies in school effect and bother me. You have no clue what a pain it is to sit there the night before you want to do something doing all of tomorrow's work only to have your efforts be in vain because your sisters can't manage to do the little work that they're expected to do well or in a timely manor.

So on top of the fact that you're sisters are incapable of doing homework, imagine that you're also looking really cute and your hair is falling just right and your makeup is just the right shade and you're looking forward to doing a little shopping, when you can't leave because your sisters haven't done their work. You're sisters who are perfectly old enough to stay home alone for a couple of hours need to be babysat and have someone looking over their shoulder because they don't know how to study.

Literally every day my sister who is a teenager has to have her lessons read to her. Because reading is so taxing on the mind. It's history, you just do it. It's not like its new information history has been history since it's happened, after the sixth grade all history is, is review.

So let's just say I can't reach 16 and 3 months fast enough. Because as soon as that age hits I'm ready to go where I want when I want. (That's not as rebellious as it sounds, I really just mean I want to leave my house at some point)

I don't know the frustration could be just be because I've been home for five days...scratch that. It's definitely because they're incapable. So now I look amazing, had all my homework done by 11 am, and am mad.(just in case you couldn't tell already) It doesn't help that I've had so much time on my hands lately that I finished two Star Wars: Legacy of the Force books in two days. I mean that goes from being a geek to just being pitiable.

Marvel Vs. Dc

Okay, I'll say it outright Marvel is better then DC but just so you can see the difference I'll share this essay that I wrote for school a year ago.

BTW I've totally read that ^ comic.

Every little boy and some little girls want to become a superhero, having beyond human abilities. Children (and some adults) are able to live vicariously through comics. D.C. and Marvel are the most popular companies that produce comics, they both have an extensive hero index. Many people claim that they prefer Marvel over D.C., but due to recent revamps that could change.
            Marvel has often been the favorite of the older crowd due to its humanistic take on heroes. It would be impossible to find a Marvel hero without a fatal flaw. D.C. on the other hand has, for quite some time, treated its heroes as gods, and they even have titles reflecting that very point.
            It is believed that Marvel is more popular with the older kids because of its verity of teen heroes. With Marvel it does not feel like you teen hero teams are being cast out of a mold, they’re all unlike with there own strengths and weaknesses. When you read D.C. you feel as though you’re hearing the same story over again they even lack the individuality to create new team names, there are the Teen Titans, Teen Titans East, the New Teen Titans, then the Teen Titans again at a later generation. You can almost always depend that a Teen Titan teem will have a former robin leading it, a super boy, and a speedster. Marvel has the Runaways, the Young Avengers, and the X-men, all the heroes of these teams are different and new.
            When it comes to choosing a universe with the most likable single characters it is the new 52 by D.C. Of all the hundreds of heroes D.C. has done a phenomenal job in bringing back the Red Robin in a wonderful way, he is now an ex-protje of Batman, the new Batman comics make you fall in love with the new Robin who is Batman’s son, and the Blue Beetle has an especially interesting comic series with a wonderful plot. D.C. has a few good stand alone heroes such as Wolverine but most of the heroes are on a team and only operate in a team setting this is not what you want to read all the time.

            So Marvel and D.C. have there strong points, and with the recent revisions in D.C. it is quite possible that D.C. will be just as much respected as Marvel, and perhaps one day they will be more so.

So that is an A+ paper right there.

Hello All, I'm the Empress

Hello all, I'm the Empress of the geeks. It's a self proclaimed position, however it carries a lot of weight. It means that I must, in order to keep you up to date on all the coolest stuff, keep on top of all geek trends. I must also, as the Empress, be an ambassador to those who have not as of yet experienced the awesomeness of being a geek, continue to share facts and trends in a manor understandable to the ordinary/ casual reader.

I look forward to loosing many hours of sleep trolling the internet so that you may know all the coolest stuff going on as a geek, so that you know the 411 on what to read, watch, listen to, give your kids, and so on.

As you can see this blog is broken into nine sections so that you can quickly find what you're looking for. This blog is what I like to think of as the root blog. Where I will vent my frustrations, excitement, and anything else I think of.

So a little about me:
Age: Almost 16
Hight: 5'1
Favorite Color: Blue
Favorite Food: Popcorn
Favorite Holiday: Christmas
Religion: Christian
Grade: 10th
Best Subject: Law
Worst Subject: Spelling
School: Home Schooled

So as you probably have detected I have no self image issues, seeing as I proclaimed myself empress. My hobbies are blogging, cross stitching, knitting, reading, watching anime, reading comics, reading manga, playing video games, watching anime with subtitles, watching dubbed anime, cleaning my room in order to not do homework, singing, playing guitar, writing, playing piano, sewing, jewelry making, running the projectors at my youth group, listening to audio books, perfecting the skill of multitasking, calligraphy, archery (I was doing it long before Katness was even an idea), baking, and learning new crafts.

My favorite superheros are Hawk Eye (both of them but I really like Kate Bishop, she's awesome) and green arrow. I enjoy watching Smallville (yeah I'm behind the trend, what can I say, I only recently became old enough to watch it, plus there's so many other things to watch) Alias, Arrow, Beast King, Avatar the Last Air Bender, Korra, Naruto, Sword Art Online, Fairy Tale, and other stuff like that.

The best video game consoles are X-boxes, however I won't get the X-box One because a. it's n ot reverse compatible and b. because there are so many games out for the 360 I haven't played yet that I want to it'd be real waste to just go on to the next console.

I'm a Halo 4 freak. I play online all the time, my other favorites include FF XIII and Resonance of Fate.

Oh and finally I tend to go on tangents, so bare with me I'll try to keep the tangent rampages to a minimum.

So, I look forward to blogging for you.
