I hope everyone had a good Christmas and will have a great new year!

 

I forgot one thing while doing this video.  When I said, "if you are going to do the design where you have to lay one hand over the other to read what it says you need to start on your pinky."  I forgot about the thumb.  You would want to start on the thumb instead of your pinky.

 

I hope you all like this tutorial!  If you would like a more complicated design, then comment below.

Thalia

As most of you should know, yesterday was Thalia Grace’s birthday; but, as you also know, she will never get any older because she is a huntress. In memory of Thalia, we are going to talk about her today.

Thalia is a GREAT and strong character. She is not too scared of monsters of any kind; she laughs in the face of any sort of. However, she is afraid of some things like heights for example. In the third book, Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia went to Westover Hall and she acted like it was just another walk in the park. I know that she did have to deal with monsters for a while on her own, but before she even got to camp she was turned in to a tree which means that she didn’t have lots of training.

Thalia’s fear of heights is pretty weird for a child of Zeus, but I challenge you to imagine Thalia without that fear. She is not the same.

It was a good and smart decision for Thalia to become a huntress. Most of the huntresses don’t seem to be scared easily and Thalia fits right in with them. I hope that Thalia and the huntresses come into the story and help really soon (I would take getting Percabeth out of Tarterus over that though).

Thank you for reading and please comment below!

    I would like to start by saying that I will be posting a few times a week now instead every day.  Please don’t be mad at me.

  So has anybody else out there wanted to read MoA again, but has found it hard to do so? I have wanted to read MoA from the beginning, yet I find it hard.  Every time I start reading the first chapter I find that I have to stop.  I have never had this problem.  I have read the first series eight times and what we have of the second series twice each except MoA. 

    I have read all of the parts I highlighted on my kindle many times.  Yet I can’t get myself to start from the beginning.   After a lot of thought, I think I know why I (and possibly other fans) find it hard to read again.  It seems to me that I am scared to read the ending again. I have read stuff about the ending lots of times on pinterest, but there is something about reading it in the book. 

  Also, who else is still in a bit of denial over the ending?  I read MoA from 12 a.m. to 5 a.m. and from 8 a.m. until I finished to the book later that night.  When I got to the end I was…well…I don’t know how to put it, but I think that other fans can relate.  The ending never really processed completely until I bought the book and saw it in print, and even then it wasn’t completely processing then. 

  If you have the same problem I do with rereading MoA, then comment below!

  Thanks!
