Happiness and Hobbit Talk

Oh wow, I'm on a roll. Third post in three days. *celebrates with self*

So I stayed up past midnight because I had to catch up on a book I'm reading with my English/Writing class at our co-op, and it wasn't fun. And apparently I didn't even have to read that much of it. Argh. I over-achieved on accident.

I actually had a good day at co-op, even though yesterday was crazy stressful with all the stuff I had to catch up on. I wore my TARDIS hat all day, and I was very happy about that. I luff my TARDIS hat.
Then I had free time because I didn't have a class then, so I talked for a long time with one of my friends about The Hobbit and it was great fun... But apparently that was "Study hall" and we were being too loud... Yeah, I suppose I'm a rather loud person when I get excited about The Hobbit.

Anyway, then we had Home Ec. and we got to make lotion and soap and I had a blast with the same friend and we decided that sometime in the near future we need to get together and make soap and cookies and stuff and then watch the Hobbit because we find stuff like that to be great fun. :)
And then when we got home my friend I met while I was doing the commercial thingy (oh yeah, I got to be in a commercial) sent me a letter. Like, and actual letter in the actual mail and I loved it because I love getting letters SO much. So all in all it was quite a lovely day.

And my birthday is next week so I'm excited for that. But apparently my mom and one of my sisters are leaving for somewhere.... On my birthday. Ugh. And I'll also be gone for most of the day. But there are still plenty of bright sides to it. :)

We had really lovely weather today. Heh, I think I'm overusing the word 'lovely'. Ah well. it's a lovely word. Heheheh.
I do hope we get more rain though. I love rain.

Aaaaand my oldest sister might be coming home form college this weekend to visit us, so that will be great.

Have a great day lil' minions.

Ramblings

So I had a lot of fun last night. I went over to someone's house from our church and there was a get together to watch the Super Bowl. I don't play football, I have no idea how to, and I won't lie and say that I was interested in it, but I had a lot of fun anyways. I hung out with one of my friends and had quite a lot of sugary stuff. I was hyper. I'm usually hyper.
Afterward we stopped by a store and I got Nerds. Oh happy day.

I changed up my blog a bit because I was feeling like it. Hehehe

I had a lot of stuff to do today. Uuuuugh, Monday. And most of it is due tomorrow. >_<  WHY DO I PROCRASTINATE? So I was really stressed, but I've managed to get most of the stuff out of the way, and my brother was kind enough to help me with science. Science and I... We just don't get along. 

Now to some happy stuff! I'm gonna request my friend from the OYAN forum as my flatmate for the Summer Workshop hopefully later today. I'm super excited to me rooming with her. We are gonna have so much fun.

I had quite a bit of fun doing the writing prompt thingy, even if I did have to make it short. But now I need to diagram sentences. Kill me now. I hate doing that.

Today was cold again, and it is really wonderful. I had a nice cup of cocoa, which I wanna do more often.

Now I should go do my numerous chores I've put off, though I'll probably put them off for longer. Ah well, I can imagine myself doing them. Maybe I'll get around to it.

Have a nice week dahlings.

February and Randomness

IT'S FEBRUARY! AND THAT MEANS MY BIRTHDAY IS SOON! And I love February. No, I'm not biased just because I get cake and presents in February. It's an awesome month.

Soooo we had some hot annoying weather recently, and then suddenlt it dropped to the thirties, and then went back up again, and today is really cold. And it's supposed to snow AND I'M SO HAPPY BECAUSE I LOVE SNOW!

Now, the best new ever ever ever ever is that I get to go to the OYAN Summer Workshop this summer. I. Am. So. Excited. I've been dying to go, and when my mom said yes I danced around my room with my stuffed toy dog. That isn't sane. I don't care.
And I'll be rooming with my bestest friend from the forum, so that will be marvelous. ajfhjkahgsh I'm so excited.
Aaaaaaand I'm fairly certain my novel will be finished by then.

Also, I've gained a recent obsession for 50s style dresses. I'm hoping I get one for my birthday because they are the best things since sliced bread. (hehehe I said it)

I drew Greta (one of my characters) yesterday and I was really pleased because she actually looked mostly how I picture her, and that's something I am never able to accomplish. I was really proud, and promptly ignored the fact that her eyes aren't even.

I need to practice piano, even though I'm not having lessons tomorrow. I got a new song, and it's gonna be tricky, and I've failed to practice it, so I should get to that soon.

For my Writing/English class at our co-op I get to do this cool writing (exercise?) thing  where I write a paragraph about summer, and include all five senses in it. (not sure if that made sense) It's gonna be hard for me to write a paragraph. I'll probably end up writing a page and then having to shorten it, but it'll still be fun.
I also have to read half of The Phantom Tollbooth, so that will be fun. I've never read it before.

I was reading Ender's Game, and I was really enjoying it, and then my Kindle app thing messed up and now I can't read it. This is why we should all use real books instead of Kindles. Real books don't mess up and make you stop reading them and then leave you hanging while you can't figure out how to get back on.

I'm super excited for my novel, and I think I'm going to call it We All Fall Down. Not sure though, but I like the name, even if it'll make people think of the nursery rhyme thing. XD

Tata for now darlings.

Fredrick the Sock Teddy/Rabbit and Sherlock Season 3

Wow. I apparently decided to abandon my blog for a few weeks. Sorry 'bout that. I'M BACK NOW!

... I haven't updated this blog since last year... *sniff* I'm so sorry guys. I feel terrible.
*snerk* Sorry, I just had to.

This week has been quite eventful and busy. We had the 4-H Stock Show, and  I had entered to show some stuff in Family Living. Only I'd only made some of it, and I had to have it finished by Thursday, so that was pretty hectic.
I made a teddy bear/rabbit/thingy out of socks, clean, new socks. I promise. It gave him a cuddly, patchwork sort of look.
I named him Frederick.
None of my other stuff placed except Frederick. He got second place in the Stuffed Toys division for my level. I'M SO PROUD OF MY LIL' TEDDY/RABBIT/THINGY BEAR! I KNEW HE'D DO GREAT THINGS!

And... And... And... SHERLOCK SEASON THREE! *dies* Less than two weeks ago we were on hiatus, and in less than a week we'll be on it again. *cries*
I won't be posting any spoiler until after the people wating for it to air in America have had a chance to see it. Which will be hard, very very very hard. BUT I'M DOING IT ANYWAYS BECAUSE I'M NICE! ... Though I'm not sure anyone reads this blog. Meh. Minor detail.
BUT I HAVE LOVED BOTH EPISODES SO MUCH I CAN'T EVEN! *keels over* Like seriously, the amount of feels from them is huge. And they're not even sad feels mostly. They're happy and beautiful feels AND THOSE ARE THE BEST KIND!
The acting is wonderful, as usual.
AND I LOVE MARY SO MUCH AND I SHIP HER AND JOHN SO MUCH AND SHE IS SO WONDERFUL! ... Ahem.
I'm scared to watch The Sign of Three. I'm afraid of what will happen to my babies! I WANT THEM TO ALL LIVE!

And the weather is back to warm. I'm pretty sure it was in the mid seventies today. <.< Sometimes I hate Texas weather so much. IT'S SHOULDN'T BE SEVENTY DEGREES IN JANUARY! *wants snow*

In other news, I luff Finn (one of my characters) even more than I used to. And I feel bad because I'm so mean to him. BUT HE IS SERIOUSLY SO SWEET AND WONDERFUL!
No. Halp. I'm not supposed to get this attached to him.

Aaaaand it's only one month 'til my birthday! *beams* I think I'll be asking for books and geeky stuff. And probably lots of socks.

Tata for now darlings. Have a great day! ... Er, night.
