1st Week of Holidays

Monday:

Hm mm, let's see...what did I do on Monday. I think Monday was the day that I recovered completely from Easter Camp, wrote a blog about it, read some Lord of the Rings , and merely used my holiday as it were meant to be.

Tuesday:

Tuesday was the day that I was allowed to watch the movie, Lord of the Rings , as Mum and Dad made a deal with me that was when you read the book you can watch the movie. So I watched part of it on Tuesday. The rest I finished on Wednesday and cried my little heart out because it was so beautiful and sad and I couldn't stand it. At the end of it all though, I felt like a wuss because I hardly ever cry in movies except Bridge to Terabithia, Star Wars 3, Robin Hood Series...So yeah...felt REALLY ridiculous ...

Wednesday:

Finished the movie and avidly started reading book 2, The Two Towers. Finished half of it by that night. That, I think, is very impressive.

Thursday:

Finished book 2 and watched the movie. So very, very good. Angela came over and she, Emily, and I teased our hair. That includes brushing all of our hair backwards and spraying it hard with hairspray. I slept in it that night and it was NOT, I repeat NOT, a pretty sight the next morning. I washed it and then it was rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat with the Conditioner.
I also went for a bike ride that evening. My bike's chain came off say...well...a fair way away from home. So I walked it home. Very annoying that. I'm sure I looked ridiculous.

Friday:

We went on a Op Shopping Spree which can be the coolest, yet weirdest, spree there is. After all, it is pretty fun to look at automatic cheese graters. Mum bought for me the third book of Lord of the Rings, the Return of the King , for me as well as a black skivvy which I plan to wear to Church today.
Even though I hadn't finished the third book I was absolutely DYING to watch the third movie. So I pleaded, no begged, my mother to let me watch it saying that I would finish the book before I left for Bourke on Tuesday and if I didn't I gave her license and complete permission to ban me from the computer for the rest of my life.
Unable to resist the chance of banning me off the computer for the rest of my life, no complaints included, she agreed.
It was very good. I cried again, especially when Frodo's finger was bitten off.

Saturday:

Finished the book, much to my mother's disappointment, and watched Hannah Montana on TV. Saturday is cleaning day so I rushed through my jobs and claimed, like an Olympian claiming a gold cup, my prize. A chocolate drumstick.

So, that was the first week of holidays. I absolutely love Lord of the Rings, and, between you and me, Frodo has the most awesome eyes. I really, really like them.


I have been asking Mum for two little goldfish but until I get them, those little cute fiction fish on the sidebar will do. Feel Free to Feed. Also I've changed the name of my blog, for no particular reason other than I felt like it. But the web address is still the same.

Next week, Bourke.

Letter

Dear People Who May Happen to Glance Upon my Blog Every Now and Again,

Hi, how are you? I'm okay.

I'm sorry that I am lazy. I've not posted much lately. Life seems to be, "school", "school", "school", and "lets go away for the weekend."

Ex.

  • 2 weekends ago we went camping.
  • Last weekend was a birthday party/ camp out.
  • This weekend coming is my cousin's wedding up in Brisbane.
  • Next weekend is my Youth's 'Easter Camp.'
  • The weekend after that is 2ND week of Easter holidays, Emily and I are going to Bourke.

So, yes. That's my excuse for being lazy and not writing more.

What have I been doing lately?

  • I am bravely trying to read Lord of the Rings, with the temptation that I can watch the movie at the end.
  • Emily and I entered into the Dubbo Eisteddfod that will happen in June, I think. I entered into-
  1. Piano Duet with Emily
  2. Bible Reading, Jeremiah 34, 1-7. (A few hard-to-pronounce names there: Lachish? Azekah? Zedekiah? Any idea on pronunciation?)
  3. Prose Reading, 13-15 years, Approx 175 words from “The Outsiders” by S E Hinton, “Tomorrow when the War Began” by John Marsden, or “All the Rivers Run By” by Nancy Cato.
  4. Sight Reading, Preparation Time, 1 Minute.
  5. Duologues- Own Choice, Excerpt from any play, Time limit: 3. (With Emily)

So that'll keep me busy too.

  • There was a little bit of Op shopping last week. I got a really nice dress for $4.50. ;D
  • I'm watching The Merchant of Venice with Mum and Emily.
  • I'm continuously getting a little weirded out by my family. Right now they're singing 'Smelly Cat' in the kitchen. Look it up on youtube when you're done this and you'll see why I'm concerned.

Now, I had better get ready for school. I'll see you when I see you,

Yours truly,

Just A Post

I really don't know why I'm blogging at the moment when I have nothing of real interest to say. Normally, when put in this position, I just post a book review, a daybooke, a diary entry, or something I got off the Internet.

No today.

Today is just a post.

And nothing more.

And nothing less.

I was going to post about the Trojan War, a war that I've been learning about for school and for pleasure.

Last night, I was a teeny, tiny, bit braggy about how much I knew of Greek history and The Trojan Horse.

I could tell it backwards.

"Uhuh."

I could tell it backwards rhyming.

"That would make a good blog post."

So I was going to post about the war, not backwards and rhyming, but about the war nevertheless. I even did a little draft last night, but then gave up because there was too much to tell.

So now I am just talking, about nothing in particular. There is no theme here. No story that I am getting to. Just talking. (In case you were wondering, "Erm, what exactly the point of this blog?")

We are going camping tomorrow. Hammocks, campfires, (hopefully) marshmallows, the whole enchilada (thank you, Hannah!).

Hmmm, in more news....

  • Kylie is coming home in around three months! :)
  • Emily and I are going to Bourke for Easter!
  • I'm finally getting a little bit of scrapbooking done...
  • I got a fantastic hair straightner for my birthday...!

And that's about it. I'm sorry if I've bored you to death.

If you make it to the end, please comment. ;)
