Miss Raquel's Ramblings - 1

 

 Welcome to Miss Raquel’s Ramblings!

As you have so heartily agreed to let me do, I now introduce you to a new series here on God’s Daughter.  Posts in which I rant and rave and explain and complain about this or that to my heart’s content. 

(Okay, that just rhymed…)

Anyway, I have seriously been wanting to start doing some sort of posts like this.  Posts where I could talk about anything and everything…but yet, I was a wee bit afraid that my readers wouldn’t necessarily like them.

BUT, you have all proven me wrong!!  I asked my fans on Facebook if I should begin this and…I only got ‘yes’ for an answer.  I will only make these every once in awhile.  Have no fear!  I can tell that some of you were thinking ‘Oh no!  I don’t know how much of Raquel’s ramblings I can take!’  But…well…at least, depending on the amount of responses I get, I have decided to make these about once a week.

So, here I am.  This is my first rambling post.  And I hope you enjoy it. :)

As I write this, I am sitting cross-legged on my bed.  It is midnight.  I just finished making some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for myself – and yes – for my bro. ;)  Seriously, I think these are the best midnight pbj sandwiches ever!  And mine is sitting here next to me, cut into four-squares (just like I like them), waiting to be devoured.

My bed is also littered with other…stuff.  Arietta (my faithful iPad)…a pair of black scissors…my scrapbooking paper cutter…some verses that I recently printed out on some pretty paper…and a Mary Higgins Clark murder mystery lies open at chapter 5. 

::stops typing to take a bite from sandwich::

Before I began writing this (my first ever Rambling Post), I was working on an interview for a fellow blogger.  They are beginning an interview series on their blog and…guess what?!  I am honored to be the first one to be featured!!  I’m so excited. :)  I will be sure to share the link with all of you, once my interview is up.  You must promise to go over and comment on it! ;)  The interview has some intriguing and fun questions – and I hope my answers do them justice.

Tonight was movie night for my family.  We decided to watch ‘Courageous’.  (Read my review HERE)  We’ve seen it once before already (actually,  I’ve seen it twice…this was my third time :), but I ended up not watching the whole movie with them, because I had some stuff to do online (people to chat, websites to visit, pins to pin), but even being in a separate room, my eyes still watered and certain parts of the movie that I could hear. ;(  Tell me if that’s weird…

Speaking of movies…the night before last, my parents, Noah and I sat down to watch a movie that he (my bro) has been telling us to watch: ‘King Kong’.  When we first began it, I thought in my head ‘Hmmm…maybe I could write a review on this for my blog’.  End of movie came around.  ::shakes head::  No. 

To be honest, I wasn’t immensely impressed with it.  The CG was absolutely AMAZING!!...but the whole story didn’t really strike a chord in me.  Okay, so the humongous gorilla was really cute in some parts.  Sometimes, it made me just want to fall asleep in its hand.

The heroine played her part fairly well.  One thing that really annoyed me was that she wears the same flimsy nightgown for three days in a row – all the while running, rolling, being thrown, getting dirty – and it still stays in one piece by the end.  Seriously?  That couldn’t have happened. :P  Anyway, it wasn’t a very modest nightgown.

The main dude/hero (whatever you want to call him) wasn’t very attractive.  Sorry, dude.  No hard feelings.  I thought he was a pretty cool character, but they could’ve picked a different actor.

 Jack Black was in it.  Yeah, the guy that plays Po’s voice in Kung Fu Panda.  He was okay.

 Jamie Bell was in it!!!  Yeah, so…when he came onto the screen, I was like ‘okay, this movie just got better’. :)  Jamie Bell is a great actor!  And he didn’t disappoint me in King Kong.

 Andy Serkis was in it too.  (For those of you who don’t remember actor names, this is the guy that played Golum/Smeagel in the LOTR trilogy)

I think my favorite character has to be this guy, though:

 

He had this super cool voice.   He reminded me of Liam Neeson.  AND he always showed up at the most needed scenes.

So…I just realized I gave you a review on King Kong whether I wanted to or not. :P  BUT, I shouldn’t feel bad about it.  This is a rambling post, after all, right?

I am a serious Pinterest addict.  I just wanted to make that official.  I’ve told a few of my friends this already, but…it’s not official till I tell my Bloggy friends.  And when you have a chance to, please feel free to drop by my profile on Pinterest.  I am currently at 43 boards and 1,093 pins.  Pretty exciting! :)  Ooh!  And you know what’s also exciting??   When you get someone hooked on Pinterest who used to think that it wasn’t that great of a site.  When you accomplish something like this, you feel powerful.

Or at least, I do.

Wow…scrolling through this post really quick, I just realized how much I really do love rambling. :P  Wasn’t one of my New Year’s resolutions to stop talking so much?  That just went down the drain.

Before I end this first ever Rambling Post on God’s Daughter, I wanted to ask my readers what they thought about: beginning each of my Rambling Posts with a few little facts.  I thought of a few, such as…

And then to END my posts with a fun little question for my readers.

Yes or no?  Do you have any suggestions of something fun and small that I should add or use instead?

Well, until you let me know…I shall end this post with just that ^ ;)
