I love lots of different things, and one of the major things that I love besides: drawing, Zelda, and Selena Gomez, is music. Music is my life. I've been playing for four years, and now I can't go a day without playing on my viola or my piano for at least an hour. Ever since I've discovered Lindsey Stirling, I realized that I really do love to play, and I had become obsessed. I heard lots of her songs, and got the music, and started learning how to play them, and I learned how to do vibrato during my craze, and it sounds even better. After I learn some of it on my viola, and can't do it too well, I turn to my trusty piano, and play it on there first, and then it's easier playing it on my viola, since I'm more comfortable with the music. I plan on connecting my jobs with my siblings. I'd be an animator, and my sister will be part of that, and because my brother wants to become a video game creator, I'd be playing his soundtrack, and I know that will be really fun and enjoyable for me, because I love music so much.
Music is such a beautiful thing to learn, and know about. If you don't play an instrument, I suggest you play one, and I know some gamers might be interested, but you can play games from your favorite songs, and you feel even better, and I do know this from experience. I love the Zelda game series, and its music is really amazing. I learned many of their songs, and even the little sound effects they make. I'm now learning the Assassin's Creed 3 theme, and it sounds pretty nice. After that, I'll be learning the Lord of the Rings soundtrack, in which my cousin, sister, and myself would be very pleased. So, I suggest you play music. If you like high-pitched music, you might want to try the violin, flute, and other instruments of that kind. If you like lower instruments, a viola, cello, bass, sax, and other instruments of those types would be for you. If you like both, piano is the instrument for you, because you can go through many different ranges of pitch. I might seem really crazy for being this much in love with music, but it's true. Music is my life, and I love it so much.
 
Next week, there will be no school on Monday! That means that we have a 3-day-weekend! I love extra long weekends. My sister got back from college about a week ago, and I'm happy to say that we have been having a lot of fun together. My sister has started Skyward Sword, and now she's really into the storyline, because it has a really sweet storyline to it. Here is how the story goes:

Loftwings are flying about in the sky. People are jumping of the edge of Skyloft, and are whistling to call their birds, and take them on a flight. A blue bird flies to Princess Zelda, who is playing a golden harp, and singing in Hylian as she plays. The blue bird picks up a letter from Zelda and flies off. Next, we go to Link, who looks like he's in a dream, with someone telling him to awaken. Then, Link is rolled off his bed, and the Loftwing spits the letter in his face. Link picks it up and reads it, remembering that this was the day of the Wing Ceremony, and Zelda wanted to meet him before they went off. 



Link runs over to Zelda, and she tells him that she will be playing the role of the Goddess in the Wing Ceremony, and she wants him to win so they can perform a ceremony together. Zelda pushes Link off the edge, and tells him to call his bird, but it doesn't respond. Alarmed, Zelda jumped off, called her bird, and saved Link's life. They found out that the jock of the school, Groose, had stolen it. He wanted Link to lose because he loved Zelda. He started to pick on Link, and Zelda showed him her sass, and Link won the competition.


This is how far we've gotten, and I'm excited to play much more!

 
These past two weeks, I've been working really hard on making different things from different video games. I'm a huge gamer, and I love to play! I've played The Legend of Zelda, the Mario series, Assassin's Creed, and lots of other cool games. So, lately I've finished making the Master Sword from the Legend of Zelda, and Zelda's sword, too. I've made a lot of other things from that game series too, like rupees, hearts, heart containers, and even the annoying, but helpful friend of Link, Navi.
For Assassin's Creed, I made the tomahawk from the 3rd game, and it actually looks pretty cool, and I found some great tutorials if you want to check them out. The youtube username is epicfantasy. He does really cool artwork from the games and movies and knows how to make the hidden blade from Assassin's Creed, and it works too! I think that making these different video game items is pretty fun, and hard at the same time. The end product looks really nice. The things I really used were only: dowels, foam board, and different paint colors (depending on whatever you are making). I'm actually liking building this stuff, and it's a really fun craft project!
 
I am skipping lots of detail, but I will come back to it. I really wanted to share that I finished Twilight Princess! It was an amazing game, and I highly recommend it for you. First, you had to fight dark Zelda. That was pretty hard, but it got easier after you got used to it. She was being controlled by Ganondorf, the high and mighty enemy, and she would use her magic and sword to try and come shoot us. We had to repel her attacks by using our master sword to block it off, and hit it back to her. After we defeated her, she became back to normal, but she was fainted. 

Next, we had to fight Ganon, and we had to be in our wolf form, as he was in his animal form which looks like some sort of a pig. We had Midna's help, and we grabbed him, and kept on throwing him to the side. It took me a few tries at first, and I lost a fairy doing that, but I finally got rid of that beast, and we defeated him. Then, Midna returned Zelda back to normal, and she awoke, and she and Link smiled at each other, and then Midna warped us out, and she put on her fused shadows to try and get Ganondorf, as he was returning to his original form...as a dark lord.


Sadly, Ganondorf tore off Midna's mask, and he came on his horse outside, and threw it on the floor. He started charging towards Link and Zelda, but, Zelda used her magic to let us escape, and they both had to team up together, and defeat Ganondorf on horseback. Then, they together both killed him, and Ganondorf died in the light. Midna, who was an imp, became her true self, the Twilight Princess. However, Link, Zelda, and Midna said farewell to each other, and Midna leaves, and Zelda and Link are left together.
 
My favorite singer and actress is Selena Gomez, but I do have a favorite violinist. Her name is Lindsey Stirling. She's really amazing and has so much potential. Lindsey has done so many songs, and even dubstep. Her dubstep is amazing. My favorite songs by her are Crystallize, and the Zelda Medley. The Zelda Medley is filled with classic songs from the game series. In the music video she made, she is dressed up as Link in his blue tunic and is playing the violin while dancing in the amazing setting she's in. It's such a great music video, and I think all Zelda fans should watch it, because it's amazing!
Crystallize is an amazing song. It's a dubstep too. Lindsey Stirling with dubstep music is epic and sounds spectacular! for this music video, Lindsey is playing her violin and is dancing to the music that she's playing. The scenery is amazing. It's like a crystal palace that her crew team built for her, and it's now in Colorado for everyone to come see it. She's amazing at playing the music. I'm really in love with Crystallize, and I listen to it over and over again every day. You should check out Lindsey Stirling's music on YouTube. Lindsey's YouTube username is: lindseystomp. You should subscribe to her if you love the music, buy it on iTunes, and you can even buy the sheet music, if you play a strings instrument, from her website. Search up Lindsey Stirling! She's amazing!!
