My sister is playing movie theme songs, like the ones for Indiana Jones, or Star Wars. It makes good background music.
Today my sister and I wrote letters to ourselves, to be opened and read in three years. So in 2015, we will each have two letters to read; one from ourselves and one from each other. Now I can hardly wait to open them!
Did you know that 48 hours worth of video is uploaded to YouTube every minute? That makes almost a year every three hours! By now, we must have centuries, or even millennia, worth of footage.

Yesterday was my 200th post!
Taylor Swift is awesome! I love her music. She has some fantastic songs, that I really love.
Tomorrow is June, the first day of winter, and the first day of my birthday month. My birthday is on the fifth of June, and I'm getting really excited.
Our teacher came around today, and it was pretty cool. She confirmed that yes, the new maths book is a device by maths teachers to torture their students. It is really awful, and now she has let us off the hook. My older brother and I can now just do the old style maths, not the instrument of torture maths. Yes!

As I write, I'm listening to Our Song. It's a song by Taylor Swift, my favorite of all of her songs. I love most, probably all (I haven't heard all of them) of her songs, but this is my favorite. Here are the lyrics:
"Our Song"
I was riding shotgun
With my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel
On the steering wheel
The other on my heart
I look around, turn the radio down
He says, "Baby is something wrong?"
I say, "Nothing,
I was just thinking
How we don't have a song"
And he says...
[Chorus:]
Our song is the slamming screen door,
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
'cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date "Man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"
And when I got home ... 'fore I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again
I was walking up
The front porch steps
After everything that day
Had gone all wrong
And been trampled on
And lost and thrown away
Got to the hallway,
Well on my way
To my lovin' bed
I almost didn't notice
All the roses
And the note that said...
[Chorus:]
Our song is the slamming screen door,
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
'cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date "Man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"
And when I got home ... 'fore I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again
I've heard every album, listened to the radio
Waited for something to come along
That was as good as our song...
[Chorus:]
'Cause our song is the slamming screen door,
Sneakin' out late, tapping on his window
When we're on the phone and he talks real slow
'cause it's late and his mama don't know
Our song is the way he laughs
The first date "Man, I didn't kiss him, and I should have."
And when I got home ... 'fore I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again
I was riding shotgun
With my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
I grabbed a pen
And an old napkin
And I wrote down our song
It feels like Friday! I can't wait for tomorrow, because it feels like it should be Friday already, so I want Friday to come. Tomorrow is the bonfire, and hopefully I won't have a sore throat by then. My throat is better today than it was yesterday, so maybe by tomorrow I'll be fine, then I can roast my own marshmallows. My sister came up with a plan for cooking me marshmallows. I find a stick, she puts them on, my brother cooks them, she says when they're done, then (her favorite part) she EATS THEM! I'm not sure how this gets me marshmallows, but she says it will work. I have no doubts that it will work to HER satisfaction.
My little brother has been working on fractions on his whiteboard. He came over to me and asked me to help him, in such a cute voice that it was almost impossible to resist. Have you ever seen Larry the Cucumber from VeggieTales? My brother is so much like that, down to the silly songs. He even likes to hop or skip around when he's happy.

We went to see the Avengers yesterday, and it was really cool! I'm not the comic book geek of our family (that's my older brother) but I really enjoyed it. The stuff he told me about who they were, and what they did, and all the stuff you only really know from comic books, was interesting, and may have even made it a more enjoyable experience.
I can hear my sister singing from our bedroom. She just got new headphones, and is using them to the full. My little brother described it as "falling asleep in music". She can't hear anything you say, and doesn't want to either. He's trying to get her to play a game with him, but she isn't listening. I'm going to go help him out.

We have to leave the house in an hour if we are going to make the bus to the city. That doesn't give me nearly enough time to do everything I wanted to. I wanted to be able to write up a new stoy on Charlie, but now I might have to do that on the train.
In fact, there is so little time that I haven't even turned on my notoriously tempermental laptop. I'm blogging from the main computer instead.
My little brother got a whiteboard today. Itt should be easier for him to do Maths now, because he can work it all out on a white board instead of on paper. Sometimes paper just isn't big enough. It's so much more fun to scribble wildly, as big as you need, without having to continue equations over the page. Sometimes I have to take up three pages of my maths book with one equation! My writings are pretty well spaced.
My sister is playing the keyboard. Fortunately, she's stopped with the Christmas Carols. I am so glad of that. She hasn't done any for a while. However, she does play 'Can you feel the love tonight', which always sounds so sad. She doesn't agree with me and my older brother. She tells us that it is a happy song, all about true love. I don't care if it has true love in it, that doesn't change that it is a sad song. The music is sad, and some of the lyris are sad too.
It is really cold today. It's really starting to feel like winter. That's not really a bad thing, because my birthday is in winter. Somehow, my birthday feels like it is just around the corner, even though it is over a month away. I couldn't possibly start counting down until May.

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!!

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?

Both my brothers are feeling sick. The rest of us are fine, however. My younger brother was still very eager to go to the library earlier today, so he's obviously not too bad.
We did go to the library earlier today, and it was cool! I always love going to a different library. They have different books there. I found 12 books I wanted to borrow, not realising that I only had space for one book on my card! The way cards work at our library is that you are supposed to able to borrow 20 books. However, the machines will let you borrow 40 books, in case you have the strange habit of returning 20 books, then getting another 20 books before the system realises that you have returned some. So, back to today, and I had 39 books on my card, and tried to borrow another 12! Fortunately, my mother let me put some books on her card, otherwise I might have had To go home without any new books. Tragic, indeed!
My older brother and my sister are washing the guinea pigs. They are getting a bit dirty (the guinea pigs, though my brother and sister probably are too!), and need a wash. I'm (rather selfishly) hoping I won't have to help. I don't really like getting assorted yuckness off guinea pig hair. Who would?
Our English assignment should be done soon, and then this silent barrier may be lifted, and I can talk to my brother about it. I like talking to my brother about schoolwork. We are in the same grade this year, which has never happened before now, so I want to make the most of it.
One final thing: do you think the song Friends Forever is sad? I definitely do, but my mother doesn't, to such an extent that she can't see why I do!

Last night, because my older brother was away, we watched Little Women, and it is such a great story! Sad, but funny, and just amazing. It wasn't a really accurate depiction of the movie, but it was still a great movie. My little brother and sister have never read the book and they still really enjoyed it!
When you read a book, is it like you are just reading the words on a page, or is it that you are looking through a window into the bookland, or is it that you are actually walking around, living the book with the characters. One way of putting it is that a story is like a door. Some people read like they are looking at a shut door. Some people read like they are looking through an open door. I read like I'm through the door and walking around. I don't know anyone else who reads like that. I know a few that read like looking through the door, but no one who goes through the door. Then again, I haven't asked many people. My little brother might by a walk through the door person if he read more, and read longer books with more in them, but he doesn't, so I can't tell yet. I'm hopeful.
I have not actually read any fiction yet today. I've been really busy with schoolwork, especially Maths. Maths is one of my most disliked subjects. It can be interesting, and some bits are awesome fun, but some bits are just so long and boring. Still, it's not too bad, just boring.
Have you heard the song Reality by Newsboys? One of my favorite lines is "Can you find a better photo for the milk carton backs?". It's awesome.

This is post 99, so tomorrow will be the big 100 post mark! I still don't know what to do about that. I really need a good idea, or even 4 ideas, or 8, or 11. I don't care how many, but anything from 1 up would be great!
This afternoon, my little brother got a copy of Persuasion, which we are currently reading as a group. This copy is all his, not borrowed from a library. He thinks it is fantastic! He's actually really funny about it, looking at it and talking about it all the way home. This, from the boy that has said that he hates reading! It's hilarious!
My sister is on the keyboard. I don't know what she is playing, but she seems to be doing well.
Last night, my sister and I were talking about Sense and Sensibility, specifically, what if Willoughby had never gotten involved with Eliza? Marianne would have married him, and thrown the entire story out of line. We decided that Edward would have married Lucy Steele, and either have stayed in town, or gone to live at the Norland Parsonage. Elinor would have married Colonel Brandon, and been reasonably happy. Robert would have married Miss Morton, with her thirty thousand pounds, and be even more doted on by his mother. It would still be a reasonably happy ending, but not nearly as tragic, or romantic.
This afternoon, we went to the library, and I got more books. My book stack has not reached the curtain rod, as it had for a while, but it is about halfway.

This is post No. 98, so the 100 mark is getting ever closer. I don't know what to do to mark the special occasion. Any ideas?
I was reading Mansfield Park last week, and I was thinking that Fanny Price is a bit like Cinderella. Not as important as her cousins, cast down by them, not going to balls. I also think that if Fanny Price were Cinderella, (spoiler alert), then Henry Crawford, not Edmund, would be Prince Charming, even though she loves Edmund. Henry Crawford is undeniably charming, both the "stepsisters" want him, he's rich, and altogether better qualified for the role of Prince Charming. Obviously, the "stepsisters" mother wouldn't be the stepmother. Aunt Norris is much better for the role. Despising Fanny, loving the Miss Bertrams, wanting Maria to marry well, though I suppose my analogy is a little inconsistent, as the one that Aunt Norris wants her to marry is not "Prince Charming", but I can suppose that Mr Rushworth is a King of somewhere else. Does anyone agree that it is a lot like Cinderella?
Let's see, what else can I say? I'm a little lost one what to write about. Nothing much interesting seems to be happening. We didn't do anything especially interesting either this morning or last night, so I don't know what I can say. I read a lot, but that's not unusual. My sister had her first singing lesson, and her first keyboard lesson of the term. She's practicing the keyboard now. Finally, we have something other than Christmas carols to listen to. She's playing something brand new, that I've never heard before.
Something that I haven't mentioned so far, is that last Friday we went to GoMA, the Gallery of Modern Art, and the Queensland Art Gallery. We saw a few of the exhibits, and they were pretty cool. I really liked some of the stuff in the Yayoi Kusama exhibit. I've posted a picture of one of the displays below. This one was a bit creepy. The eyes in the middle of the flowers are weird.

Thanks to my new follower, Lady Disdain. I now have a grand total of 5 followers! It's not much, but it's a start.
My family had an art afternoon here. My little brother was engraving, my sister was painting, and my older brother and my mother were drawing. They did pretty well, but didn't finish. They probably will soon, maybe sometime next week.
First week back is almost over. Tomorrow is Saturday, and that means a break, and hopefully a sleep in. It also means I get to read my comic books again before they have to go back to the library. It's our policy here that no comic books are allowed to be borrowed out of holidays, unless holidays are coming up really soon, like, next week.
My sister is going to have to do keyboard soon, but for now she's just playing music on her computer. She just came up and read my post from over my shoulder, and now is talking at me about putting her in my blog. She doesn't read my blog, so she doesn't know what I blog about.
My little brother is in the backyard-turned-swamp. He likes playing out there, and even has a pair of cut down gumboots so he can be out there whenever, all weather.
Another guinea pig had babies today. They are super cute, and we called them Thunder and Lightning. Thunder is all black, Lightning is kind of really dark brown with a streak on his forehead. We called them Thunder and Lightning partly because of their colours, and partly because of the weather, which is atrocious (that is such a great word). Due to the aforementioned atrocious weather, I haven't got any photos yet.

For our first day back at school, did it have to be so rainy?! It's been steadily raining since mid-morning, and I'm tired of it. One of our guinea pigs had babies today, and I haven't been able to take photos, or even see them again because of all this rain.
My little brother is practising his harmonica. He got a new one for Christmas, to replace his old broken one, and I think he's enjoying it. My sister is on the keyboard at the same time, and they don't harmonize at all. They don't clash too badly, but they certainly don't harmonize! Now he's right behind me, staring at the rain while playing his harmonica. Maybe it inspires him. He can't actually play a song on it, but he makes up interesting melodies, that I kind of like.
The summer holidays are over, and so is the Summer Reading Competition at our library. I can't wait for them to announce a winner, but so far they haven't. I'm probably too impatient, but there isn't a specified date I can wait for, so impatience is inevitable.
My older brother has disappeared again. I'd like to know what he actually does in his room for hours on end, but I know what he doesn't do. His computer is sitting here beside me, so he's not on that, though I suspect he might be before long. I think maybe he's tidying the room he shares with my little brother. My little brother is a very adept hoarder, and keeps things that you wouldn't believe.
I'll try to get some baby piggy photos on my blog soon, maybe even later today. The rain is starting to slow, so it might not be long.

The summer holidays are over, and so is the Summer Reading Competition at our library. I can't wait for them to announce a winner, but so far they haven't. I'm probably too impatient, but there isn't a specified date I can wait for, so impatience is inevitable.
My older brother has disappeared again. I'd like to know what he actually does in his room for hours on end, but I know what he doesn't do. His computer is sitting here beside me, so he's not on that, though I suspect he might be before long. I think maybe he's tidying the room he shares with my little brother. My little brother is a very adept hoarder, and keeps things that you wouldn't believe.
I'll try to get some baby piggy photos on my blog soon, maybe even later today. The rain is starting to slow, so it might not be long.

December 6
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24
Today is December 6. Last night our school had its award night. Tomorrow we are breaking up. We homeschool, so officially the school is broken up, but we finish on Wednesday. Last night was really good. My sister and I performed, and some of the audience joined in. Afterwards, I was complimented on my bravery in singing on stage in front of the whole school (though it's only about 100 people).
My sister is playing 'We need a little Christmas' on the keyboard. It sounds pretty good. She's really good for only having started at the start of the term. She performed really well last night, though her singing was hard to hear.
My little brother is outside singing. He can be very loud, and likes to make up crazy songs, or to put new words to old songs. He is probably singing into one of his golf clubs right now. Once, he mounted three golfclubs on 3 chairs at mouth height, and got my sister and I to go out and perform with him. He even got another golf club and played golf guitar on it, with proper rock star moves.
My other brother is outside, checking up on the guinea pigs. We have about 10 of them, and they are mostly cute. The main exception also happens to be my little brother's favorite, so we can't give that guinea pig away.
Now my little brother is pretending to be a pirate, and calling for milo (a hot drink, for those who don't know). He likes pirates, and his last birthday was even pirate themed. Mostly he just likes to use pirate words, like me hearties, and use his pirate accent. Sometimes he even battles himself. He's good at doing multiple identities. Sometimes, he captains 2 ships, as 2 different people, and might add a few crew members too.
On this day:
2002- Bigfoot was confirmed a hoax. Ray Wallace revealed on his death bed that he staged the Bigfoot footprints 44 years earlier, and later persuaded his wife to dress up in a Bigfoot suit for photos confirming the existence of Bigfoot. However, some people still believe that Bigfoot exists, despite Ray Wallace's confession.
2004- The Murray River was reported to have reached its lowest levels since reports began 100 years previously.
