40 Civilizations: Choose Your Own Adventure by Yoshiegg: A Yoshiegg story played as Boudica where the readers decide the storyline through voting. But we had to wait a month for the last update and Yoshi does not update regularly 
As of May 10, officially dead because of Yoshi's lack of updating.

A lot of us wonder what it's like to be royalty. Well, for San Franciscan schoolgirl Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathaway), it's something of a shock.
Mia is the class geek and outsider, with bushy eyebrows and frizzy hair. Her only ally against the taunting of y Lana (Mandy Moore) is her equally bizarre-looking friend, Lilly (Matarazzo). Then one day, she gets a surprise visit from her granny (Julie Andrews), who announces that Mia's dead dad was actually a European Prince and that Mia is the Crown Princess of a little-known country called Genovia. The time has come for her to fulfil her birthright.
So, you've got makeovers, deportment lessons, and new-found fame. More importantly, you've got a young girl trying to learn about her family, while wrestling with the dilemma of giving up her life for a selfless, foreign existence. Of course, this being a Disney flick, you can imagine how it ends...
But it's getting there that's the fun part, as newcomer Hathaway shines in the title role, and generates great chemistry with her legendary British mentor. There is something so indescribably nice about Andrews that never gets tiring, and in this film she also gets to flex her "cool" muscle.
Sure, it's lightweight and overly-fond of slapstick - this is a family film after all - but director Marshall knows how to put together a gag. Add to that colourful scenery and equally charming personalities in front of the camera and you have yourself a very watchable, very warm little Disney comedy. Perfect for Christmas.

Black - Wonderful Life ///Lyrics
Here I go out to sea again
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air
Gulls in the sky and in my blue eyes
You know it feels unfair
There's magic everywhere
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to hide and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
Sun in your eyes
The heat is in your hair
They seem to hate you
Because you're there
And I need a friend
Oh, I need a friend
To make me happy
Not stand here on my own
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
I need a friend
Oh, I need friend
To make me happy
Not so alone
Look at me here
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
