On Friday I borrowed a computer game from Brisbane library. It was a Nancy Drew mystery game. This afternoon I tried to install it on my computer and play it, but it didn't work. I tried my sister's computer, with her permission, and it wouldn't work then either! So now I can't play it. The other computers are either in constant use, or the disk drives don't work properly. It's really annoying.
We are planning a really nice dinner for my mother, for Mother's Day. My sister and older brother paid for most of it, with help from our dad. I can't tell you all about it now, in case she reads this before then, but I will tomorrow.

April 22
My sister's birthday party was yesterday, and it was so cool! First we played all sorts of games with our baby piggies, like making them go through tunnels, and under obstacles, and racing them against each other. They weren't very good at it, but they looked so cute that it didn't matter. After that we went on SingStar. The boys didn't like that as much as the girls did.
This morning, our youth bible study was on, even though I didn't think it was. That was really fun. Soon, we'll have a room all to ourselves, to do our study in.
I thought I'd have heaps to write, but I don't. My sister is singing really loudly in our bedroom. My older brother is playing a computer game beside me, and my little brother is out in the backyard doing who knows what. My mother is relaxing with a book.
One final really cool thing: MY BLOG NOW HAS TEN FOLLOWERS!!

We went to see The Lorax yesterday. I thought it was fantastic. It was had a very deep message for a kids movie. It was about saving the environment, and how if we don't do something, the environment will be destroyed. I thought the whole movie was fantastic, and I loved the songs.
My sister has her birthday this week.
Both my brothers are playing computer games, one of which is slightly more advanced than the other. My mother is baking. She makes really nice cakes, and she has a few to make. A friend of hers has a birthday tomorrow, and my sister has a birthday later this week, and will need another cake for her birthday party. That's a lot of baking.
School is back tomorrow. Oh no!

The Passover meal last night was actually really interesting, and delicious. It was fun to find out about all the traditions involved, and what they represented. The 8AM service wasn't bad either, though my sister's alarm didn't go off, so we slept a little later than expected.
Today was a really nice day. It was cool in the morning, with beautiful blue skies, and a hint of cloud. Then for some reason it sprinkled later in the morning. But the rest of the day was bright and beautiful.
The music from whatever computer game my brother is playing is starting to annoy me. Why can't computer games have awesome music, instead of slightly irritating, impending doom kind of music?

We are back today, and it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I got a lot done, and I enjoy that.
My older brother is giving my younger brother computer game advice. I love seeing such camaraderie between my brothers.
Usually my sister washes our guinea pigs, but today I washed a few, and I was in no way envious. Guinea pigs that have been living in rain for a week aren't usually noticed for their good looks...or smells. In future, I should help out more, because it's not fair for my sister to do it all herself, but I can't say I'll enjoy it. Quality time with our guinea pigs might help though...they are really cute when they're small.

We went square dancing last night, and it was so much fun! I didn't think I would like it, but I really did. Everyone was nice and friendly, and I picked up the steps without much difficulty.
Today, we visited Strathpine library. None of us had been there before, and it had a good selection of books. My sister, who hardly ever borrows anything, looked like she was borrowing 6 books, and I borrowed 16. I actually had to borrow some books on my older brother's card, because mine was too full, and as you can put 40 books on a card, that's quite a feat! For most people that is. I have my card full a lot, too often I sometimes think, because if I have my card full when we visit new libraries, I can't borrow anything, and that's really awful.
My little brother looks like following my older brother's tradition of computer games. They both seem to like the same ones, and are both pretty good at it.
Sometimes I think I should only post when I actually have something to say, but then I don't think I'd ever actually post. Not much really big and exciting happens to me, like flying to the moon. That would be really neat! I don't think I'd like it though. Who would want to eat out of a tube, even if it does mean you get to go to outer space? It would still be awful!
My sister is playing the keyboard. She doesn't seem to have lyrics to any of her new songs. She doesn't sing along. Maybe she's just to busy concentrating to sing, as these are new songs.
I have to stop now, or I'll never be able to read all my new books this afternoon!

My little brother has been playing a platform game at my computer, and left the annoying music running. Even worse, I can't find a mute button!
Our new pastor was inducted today. There was a big lunch to celebrate, and it was delicious. He seems like a fun guy, but not a mushroom.
I can't really think of what else happened today, except that I read a lot of comic books, of all kinds. I got my brother interested in some Tintin comics, because we've seen the movie, and he wants to compare. It's funny and frustrating when he insists on saying that the comic, which was written way before the movie came out, is actually the one that has misrepresented the story! He's unbelievable. He knows which came first, but refuses to admit it.
Comics are so cool. In some of them, but usually more the TV show kind than the book kind, you could fall off of a building, and come away with nothing more than a black eye, and some bandages! It's even cooler when cartoon characters know that they are cartoons, and act accordingly. I mean that they do stupid stuff, and show off about how impossible it is.

I can hear a lot of little "hup" sounds from my little brother's computer game. He's playing Light Temple, and seems to be going well. It's meant to be a two player game, but he's doing well by himself.
Do you ever feel really guilty when a book series you really like, but only borrow at the library, never buy, stops production due to lack of sales? That definitely makes me feel guilty. I always think that if I had bought one of the books, they wouldn't be going out of buisness, as if 1 book could change everything. As a general thing, it's writing a book that changes everything, not buying it. Last Sunday, I read online that the Hardy Boys: Undercover Brothers, will not be continuing. I really like those books, but I don't own any. Now I wish I did. Hardy Boys are awesome!
We redesigned our lounge room today. My sister, little brother and I moved around our two blue lounges, and now the whole room looks entirely different. Much more open and inviting.
Currently, it is really loud here. My sister is playing on the keyboard, I'm playing Third Day on iTunes, and my little brother has music that comes with his game. Still, my mother is reading serenely, like there is not a sound in the whole house. I'm not sure I could do that. My sister and I are both compulsive singers. If we know the song that is playing, we pretty much have to sing along, unless we are concentrating wholeheartedly on something else, like I am right now. I can't touch type, so I need to be looking at my fingers while I type. I'm pretty fast, which just makes it harder to keep up with what I'm typing.
This is post 101, which is still pretty cool. I really love palindromes like that. There are also palindromes like A Fool, A Tool, A Pool; LOOPALOOTALOOFA! Even though it doesn't make much sense, this one is funny! There are more palindromes here.
Tomorrow is our first time this year at our church youth group. I can't wait!

We went to Dreamworld yesterday, and it was so cool! I went to just Dreamworld 3 and a half years ago with my dad, and my sibling have never been before, so it was really awesome! We just went on a few smaller rides, not any of the hugely exciting ones, because my little brother doesn't like scary rides, but it was still fun. We enjoyed the water rides a lot, even though some were lame, like the Thunder River Rapids.
I read a few really good books this weekend, as well as 2 really awful ones. I read The Considine Curse on Friday, and it was awful! Definitely not what I like. It had werewolves, and they did the most gruesome things. The other one I read was called The Orphan of Awkward Falls. It wasn't as bad, but still not my type of book. Too weird.
My sister is back on Virtual Villagers. She's liking looking at all the villagers frozen mid-movement. Now she's un-paused the game, and is playing with them. I can hear the sounds the little village kids are making.

I just wrote January out of habit, but it is actually February. Hard to believe at the moment that it's only the second month of the year. It seems that Christmas most be at least 5 months ago, not 1 and a bit.
My little brother spent the last of his money on ordering us lunch today. Courtesy of him, we had delicious pizza and sides for lunch. Very generous of him to spend the last of his money on our lunch.
At the moment, my little brother is playing a physics game on the computer, Fantastic Contraption 2. It's really fun in the first edition, and though I've never played number 2, it looks like fun. My older brother is giving him advice while also working at his own computer. I can't say for sure where the majority of his attention is.
My sister is at the keyboard, playing Jingle Bells. Any sane person would know that February is waaaaaay too late to be playing Christmas carols.
My sister is jokingly considering keeping a bar of soap in her bag at all times, as an air freshener. I don't really know why, as her bag isn't really used much, and it never smells bad. I think she just likes the smell of the soap. She wants to engrave her initials into one of the bars. She actually did! She just showed it to me, and it actually has her initials on it!

This is post number 94, so I'm approaching the 100 post line. Awesome! I can't believe I've been blogging that long.
January is almost over, and I have just discovered how much I have to do this year. Not a very pleasant discovery, except for the fact that I have a whole lot of compulsory reading to do, which is very cool! I can't wait for that part, though I'm a little nervous about the rest.
My sister has a lot of Virtual Villagers walking around. Not the same ones as a few days ago, as an alarming number of them died, so we restarted with some new villagers. These ones will hopefully survive better than the last lot.
My brother is attempting a game of chess beside me, but it isn't going well. He keeps getting checkmated. My little brother is just playing outside again. He is definitely the most outdoorsy of our family. He actually really likes being outdoors, with mozzies, guinea pigs squealing, mud squelching, and itchy grass. I'm obviously not a fan. But my brother can find all these imaginary villains, as well a whole lot of men to follow him around and do follow all his orders without question.
Isn't fop such a great word? It doesn't seem like a real word, but it is, and when you say it right, it sounds fantastic! Fop, by definition, means

Virtual Villagers is a really fun game! I spent most of my afternoon watching the little people running around and working at their jobs. They aren't very clever, but they're really fun to watch.
We had a really delicious lunch today. Lasagna, then a pear crumble I cooked myself. It's the only dish I can really make. Otherwise, I can't cook anything.
Back at school tomorrow. It should be alright. School isn't so bad, and two teachers will be coming around on Tuesday to chat. That may or may not be something to look forward to, but it should be interesting!
Once again, we didn't do much today. It is a weekend, after all. That's one thing that a new school week will bring. Something to write about!

My brother is taking on a mysterious Fred on his computer. He is once again on Truthseeker, and is being attacked by plants. My little brother and my sister are playing a two player platform game. My sister is better at it.
Not much is happening now, because it's a weekend. On weekends, we don't do much. Especially when the weather is this weird. It was fine this morning, torrential 5 minutes ago, and is now drizzling. Hard to work with that kind of weather.
I don't know what else we will be doing today. Maybe a board game in the afternoon, I'll read a bit, online or off, and not much else.
My brother had to leave his game temporarily, and now his computer character is talking, asking when it will be time to save the world. It's got a bit of an attitude for a computer game. I think it's bored.

Australia Day
It's Australia Day. Happy Australia Day! Have a great day, doing what you love to do. For lunch, my family had lamb steaks, with green avocado and golden corn. As Aussie as we could.
Unfortunately, my little brother is incredibly bored. My older brother, mother, sister, and, obviously, myself, are on the computer, and his computer is away in his bedroom, so he wouldn't be able to chat while on the computer. Here, that's what everyone does.
My brother is playing Truth Seeker. For those who don't know it, it's a game where you try to rid the world of weeds that are taking over everything. It's pretty cool, with a lot of evil plants.
Not a lot is going on at the moment. With everyone except my brother on the computer, all is pretty quiet, excepting of course my sister listening to music through her headphones. No one can hear the songs, but we can definitely hear her.

We go off on holidays again tomorrow. We left all out guinea pigs with friends, including our 3 new babies (!), and 2 pregnant girls.
From being so hot earlier this week, now it's kind of cold. It's only 4:58, and it's already cool outside.
My sister and I found a new game online. Secret Builders. It's really fun. We spent hours on there, changing avatars and chatting. It was interesting.

My older brother is playing Left Behind: The Game on the computer just near me, and it's loud. All sorts of sounds and exclamations are coming from the characters. My sister and younger brother are playing with their toys, who all have weird traits. One of them, his eyes will literally pop out of his head if he sees something green. Another 2 have radioactive hair. Need I say more?
Do you know anyone who will talk to you when they have no one else to talk to, but when their friends come, it's like your invisible? I know some girls like that, and it's irritating. Worse, they don't even notice they do it. They consider me a friend, but hardly ever talk to me. I don't get that. For me, a friend has to be someone you know well, talk to often. I admit, that isn't absolutely necessary, but for me, it mostly is. Because of that, I have few people I can say are really good friends. You know the old saying, a friend in need is a friend indeed? I don't actually agree. I don't think that just because some one will help you if you're in trouble, they are a friend. For example, if you are hanging off a cliff, and someone saves you, but never talks to you again, are they a friend? I'm not sure.
