X-Men Days of Future Past

The X-Men :D And the younger Xavier is here eee!

Since I am bored and will be writing my novel (just not yet) I shall post another post. Because, why not? This will be a movie review of... eenie meenie minie- X-Men Days of Future Past.

I absolutely loved this movie, and have to say it was the best out of all the X-Men. In case you have no idea what X-Men are, they are people born with extraordinary powers, mostly known as mutants. In this particular one, the future is in disarray and mutants are being hunted down by Sentinels, machines that can shift to adapt to their opponents. Wolverine, a.k.a. Hugh Jackman, is sent into the past by Professor Charles Xavier to '73 to stop what has already happened for them, all because Mystique killed Trask, the creator of the Sentinels. Now, it can be slightly inappropriate, like cursing and the mention of sex, but is still an overall spectacular movie. While Wolverine is sent back to the past, he meets the younger Beast/Hank and Xavier, who is not the man he is presently. The young Xavier is a drunken man still getting over that Mystique left him and he has truly no family. He inserts a medicine into his blood each day that will allow him to walk, but to give up his telepathic powers. Wolverine convinces him otherwise and he, Hank and Xavier set off to stop Mystique's dark path. By first, of course, gaining the alliance of Quicksilver, an amazingly fast mutant, to help free Erik, or Magneto, from the Pentagon. He was accused that he killed President Kennedy since he could control the metal in the bullets so easily. 

So anyway, after that epic scene of Quicksilver helping with the song "Time In A Bottle", tensions rise and trying to get Mystique to stray from her murdering path gets harder. Will the mutants prevent the horrible future that is destined to happen? Maybe, but go watch the movie. Trust me, if you love Marvel and Doctor Who and such, spending your money will be worth it. I mean, I couldn't stop fangirling over it for the entire night xD

Cat Drawings

I thought I'd share my cat drawings so far, just for the heck of it. I might even draw the cover of my book, though the cover is far from now. I find animals easier to draw than people so that's going to be a bit challenging if I'm going to have my main character on the cover. Ah well.

Drew this one early this year. Can't see the neck too well...

Done early this year too. Didn't get to the fur texture.

Drew this one in 6th grade, probably my best cat to be honest!

Summer Vacation: Rides Galore

The Delaware County Fair with just some of the rides I've been on

Officially, finally, summer has arrived!! Though I counted the last few days as no school because I just had to go in for two hours or so. New York is crazy, oh well :P Now that it's summer, I can however get to writing my novel, which I will post sneak peaks of occasionally. And get to that huge book pile in my room and go to the library a lot. Let's see, I'm also running each day to get ready for cross country, climbing trees, drawing cats and seeing a Jimmy Buffet concert. That should be fun :) And in August, I'm going to the annual Delaware County Fair and seeing the Demolition Derby where cars crush each other, and seeing the cute animals and going on tons of rides. The best last year was the Enterprise or UFO, something like that, with some of its letters chipped off. You got to go inside and it would spin around and around so fast until you could climb the walls. Amazing. The slides with the bags you go down on are cool too, and then there's the Claw. It goes back and forth as you spin in a claw shaped seating area and goes super fast. I was just tall enough last year yesss! I'm a huge roller coaster fanatic haha. I might even go to Six Flags or Bush Gardens. The last time I went to Six Flags, I was too short to go on the Superman. An inch too short. Gosh. But El Toro was great, the fastest ride I've ever been on! It's like in cartoons: your skin gets pulled back and you can barely move. Plus I scream at the top of my lungs, what fun for the people around me. To add on to my roller coaster rant with one more ride, The Griffin at Bush Gardens was terrifying. It was a ten seater, from what I remember, and the ride would go up to the very top and just creak there as we the riders dangled. Then it shot down and water would go flying from down below in the pond since it went by so quickly. Good times...

The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles Review

Ok, my first official post besides my About Me. Still figuring this out... Anywho, I though I'd do a book review on The Last of The Really Great Whangdoodles by Julie Edwards.

The book is about three kids, the Potter children: Lindy, Thomas, and Ben. I know, Potter eeek! But this came out in 1974, way before Harry Potter was even thought of. So, the story begins with the three Potters visiting the local zoo. They meet a strange man who tells them about the wondrous whangdoodles, long forgotten creatures that look like moose with peculiar antlers and ever-changing colors. Oh, and have slippers that grow each year on the back of their hooves. Lindy instantly believes the man, as she is the youngest at eight, but the other two, Thomas and Ben, are skeptical. It all seems too good to be true. 

They soon forget it as Halloween approaches. Tom, being the good sibling he is to Lindy, dares her on Halloween night to knock on the door of the creepiest house at the end of the street. Lindy, although scared, agrees to do it for twenty-five cents. But as she knocks on the door, a man answers. The same strange man from the zoo, in fact, and the Professor her parents had told them had gotten a Nobel Prize for genetics. He invites the trio inside quickly and explains everything he can about the mysterious whangdoodles. Apparently, there is only one left of their kind that has escaped to a safer place after the humans stopped believing in them, Whangdoodleland. The children very much want to go, so the Professor decides to train their minds to be able to go to Whangdoodleland with him and finally see the last of the whangdoodles and all the odd wonders there. I don't want to spoil the ending, but they do come across splendid characters like the Splintercat and Whiffle Bird, along with the Prock who will stop at nothing to not let them see the whangdoodle and to leave. I recommend this, especially if you love strange books like Alice in Wonderland.

Well, peeps, hope you read and like it! Share comments below if you'd like :)

About Me, the Geek Author

Hey all! Thought I'd go and start a blog since it's the summer. I'm K. L. Moss, well, that's my pen name anyway. You can call my Kyra or Moss though. I'm an avid writer, as I'm nearly done writing my novel The Illusion, which I shall post more info about on here. And reading is a big thing in my life, like any bookworm. I have my fandoms, like Avatar: The Last Airbender, Legend of Korra, Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Supernatural, I Love Lucy, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Whedonverse though I need to watch Firefly). I'm also known as outdoorsy and tend to climb colossal 300 year old trees if I can. Or 50 year olds, that's fine with me. So, some bio. This is an about me page after all.

I was born on November 17th, 2000. I was the bigger one at the time compared to my twin brother haha. (Now he's taller than me. Sigh.) Before I was born, however, the doctor said I wouldn't make it. This is no lie to make you feel bad for me or anything. I really was not supposed to make it. The doctor doubted my mom could carry me and said to wait a week. And me, being as stubborn as ever for a week, lived. The doctor was completely stunned and said this hadn't happened before to him, that he had been wrong. For that, I'm proud of. I think of that when I'm feeling low and not having the best of days. Anyway, I took all the food from my twin and grew to normal size for a baby. Don't worry, my brother's fine. Well, I guess. *stares at brother* And I know I will get a smack for typing this when he reads this.

I'd go through all my nearly fourteen years so far, but that would take awhile. I'll go through some highlights, however. In 4th grade I decided I wanted to be a writer and have been writing ever since. Last year, National Novel Writing Month showed up and that's what really got me into writing. I've been working on my current novel, The Illusion, since then. I met some amazing people online and discovered the Internet wasn't such a scary place once you knew how to navigate through it. And, during that year, my family and I got a vacation house and my family and I have been remodeling it since in the country of the Catskills. Life is good :-)

I think that's it, fellow friends. I haven't lived for such a long time so I don't really have much of a bio... If you have any questions, go ask in the comments. I'll be here, searching for any haha.
