While deciding to conquer her studies out in the warm Spring sun one afternoon, with Ghost sleeping lazily next to her, the Fandom Princess heard a very loud and obnoxious sort of croak. She sat up straight from the tree which she was leaning against and turned her head left, then right. Seeing nothing, she shrugged and leaned back against the tree trunk to look through her scrolls.

A moment later, she heard the loud croak again. This time, she checked up as well as side to side.

“Princess,” a deep voice said from her left.

She jumped and turned to the source of the voice. She looked down, and to her surprise, saw a very large, round, toad sitting atop of a round rock. The toad looked at her and grinned, if it was possible for toads to do so.

The Princess rolled her scroll back up and tilted her head to the side. “I don’t believe I’ve had the pleasure of meeting you before, kind sir. Who might you be?”

The toad croaked as if to clear his throat, and then said very properly, “I am Harold, the Great, and I am looking for a maiden to kiss me so that I may be human once again.”

The Princess raised one of her eyebrows. “Oh, how dreadfully awful. Now, I must ask, what ever did you do to become a toad like this? And then, if it pleases you, I shall help you find a willing maiden to kiss you.”

Harold hopped up and down on the rock happily before croaking and saying, “It was an evil witch way in the west woods. I was traveling with my companions and got separated from them. Since I was hungry and saw a garden of growing vegetables, I decided to take a carrot, and planned on leaving some money behind as penance. She didn’t like that one bit, and the next thing I knew, I didn’t have human legs anymore.”

The Princess gasped. She had heard of evil witches in the woods, but had the fortunate good luck of never happening upon one in her adventures.  Her heart went out to poor Harold, in any case, and she put her scroll down next to Ghost, who hadn’t stirred from his slumber.

“My dear Harold,” the Princess began. “Of course I shall help you find a maiden desiring enough to kiss you. If I didn’t have my dearest Fandom Prince, I would, but alas, I shall find you someone who is capable of loving you!”

And with that, she held out her left palm to allow for the large, cold Harold to hop into her hand, as they set out towards the castle to get a few supplies.

This next video assignment, titled This is My Story, allowed me to make a video entirely made up of note cards (which I found I had none of– I settled on post-it notes). The assignment was pretty easy, but I wanted to make it different since I had already done an assignment that focused heavily on me.

I decided to do a video about me telling about not a random story, or what happened in the day, but about someone who means a lot to me; my sister, Courtney. You see, she’s leaving to go to college in a few months, and since I graduate from my university in less than a month (yikes!) I don’t know how often I’ll be able to see her. This scares me a little, so recently I’ve been acting like a complete sappy pants and making gifts for her and telling her how much I love her and all that fun stuff. This video I plan on sending to her. I hope she likes it. It’s nothing too spectacular, but I hope it’s personal enough that it makes you guys enjoy watching it:
