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.

My older brother has gotten into dancing recently, and he is obliterating all of my high scores! Last Monday we were dancing, and I had achieved a personal best. My previous personal best was the record high for the song. He managed to double my new personal best, with extra!
I have to confess, I'm a little mad about it. I enjoy dancing, and have been doing it longer, so it is frustrating that he can so easily take over the high scores. My sister is like that as well, they are now apparently vying with each other over who can get the highest high score ever. At the moment, my brother is winning. He managed to get the highest high score ever achieved on the game, on a song that none of us have ever danced to, or even listened to before! Don't ask me how he does it, I have no idea.

One day, my little brother will drive me crazy. At least it will be a fun time getting there! He says loopy things everyday, but that is one of the things I love him for. After all, there is no one else I know who would sing about having a giant robot head!
My sister and I were dancing on Wii earlier, and we really enjoyed it. It was awesome to just dance and have fun for a while.

Sorry that I haven't posted for a while, but I've been sick. Now I'm getting over it, but my older brother is sick!
My little brother had a birthday two days ago, on the 8th. I got him a huge, rainbow umbrella. I didn't realise just how big it was until I saw it stretched out, but it really is huge!
My little brother and sister and I have rediscovered one of our old favorite TV shows: Recess! My little brother doesn't really remember it that well, but my sister and I do, and we are loving watching it all again. It always amazes me what you can find on YouTube.
It is really windy here. The guinea pigs don't seem to mind that much, but I do. Whenever I go outside, I freeze!

Well, I'm still feeling kind of sick, so I won't be posting much today either. I mean, not that much happened today anyway. It was pretty much a normal Monday. There were some changes, like my sister didn't have her singing practice, but mostly it was normal.
I'm sick, my younger brother and sister are sick, now there's just my older brother and my mother to go. Well, we'll get over it eventually. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Well, my sister was too sick for Athletics Day today, so we didn't go. We've been at home all day. Fortunately, she's feeling better now, so we probably are still going out tomorrow.
Nothing much happened today, for some reason. It's been pretty so-so.

It's a brand new month! The year sure is passing by fast. We're two thirds of the way through already.
My little brother has his birthday in exactly one week. I already know that I will buy him an umbrella, I just have to get around to doing it! We made a deal that if he buys me an umbrella for my birthday, I would buy him an umbrella for his. He came through, now I have to as well.
My sister has been sick today, and slept most of the day away. I hope she feels better tomorrow, because tomorrow is the school Athletics Day! This year my older brother and I are in the pink group. He doesn't seem to mind, and I like pink, so I don't mind either. It's kind of fun to meet up with all of the other homeschoolers, but I don't like having a huge crowd there. Last year was weird, yet also cool. I was one of only two people in my entire grade! The other was a boy, and as almost all of the awards are divided into boy/girl sections, I won first place in practically everything! Best I've ever done at an Athletics Day.

Okay, I haven't posted for a while, and I don;t even have a decent excuse! I guess I was a little busy with other stuff.
Last Sunday we performed our youth group skit at the church evening service. I didn't realize just how ridiculous I sounded until I heard the recording later. At least, I think I sounded ridiculous. Overall, it all went great, and I personally think that our skit was the highlight of the evening.
Tonight there is a 'J' theme party night at square dancing. My sister is going as Jupiter. I have some sort of attempt at a jester, and my little brother is a Jack in the box. My mother, though, she has a great costume. She has an outfit left over from when she used to do jazz, and she's going to wear that. Like, WOW!
Now that the week isn't quite as crazy as last, I'll try to post more often.

Today is my mother's birthday! In honour of the occasion, she and my sister are trying to make ice cream. For a cold dish, it sure seems to need a lot of cooking. We probably won't get to eat it until tomorrow, or at the very soonest tonight, but if it's good, it will be worth it.
My little brother is doing maths problems with matchsticks. The kind of problems where you make a shape, then have to take away certain matchsticks to make a new shape. At the moment, he's doing it with pens, because we don't really have matchsticks. It seems to be working anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter what you use. Also, having something bigger to use seems to make it easier, though I have to admit that the differing colours are a bit distracting.

Tonight I, my older brother, and my sister are going to be having a dress rehearsal for the skit we are performing on Sunday. I'm playing a shopaholic, and it took me a while to find all of the bags I needed, and fill them up with assorted things, including, but not limited to, clothes, shoes, plastic food, and fake jewelry. Now, I have so many bags to carry that I can hardly hold them all, and that's exactly how it's meant to be.
I've been listening to songs by Train today, and most are pretty good. I particularly like '50 ways to say goodbye'. It starts off a bit like a song from Phantom of the Opera, but is much more funny than those songs.
Has anyone ever finished a game of Monopoly? Last night I was playing Monopoly on my iPad with my sister and little brother, and we didn't finish it. In fact, we were playing the game we had started the previous Tuesday! How does anyone actually finish a game of Monopoly? I think you're supposed to go bankrupt to finish, but we are all too careful for that. At least, so far.. Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaa! Anyway, of all the Monopoly games I have ever played, the only way they have ever finished was because someone got bored, so we just stopped playing.

Dancing is such awesome fun! My mother, sister, for a while my little brother, and I, were using our new Wii dance program, and I loved it. It was heaps of fun to just dance, though we kept bumping into each other. Once my little brother sent his Wii remote flying!

Well, today was pretty fun. Not in a stand out "Today was fun!" kind of way, but just that it was fun. I like the time I can spend with my older brother. It's...companionable. We don't need to talk to enjoy it, but I often end up talking anyway. I kind of talk a lot when it's just the two of us. Not quite sure why.
My sister, older brother, and I are going to be in a skit for our youth group in a few weeks. We were given our parts today. I get to be a shopaholic, and that will be a challenge. No sarcasm.
My sister probably wouldn't want anyone to know what she's playing. She has a secretive streak when it comes to things like that. My brother gets to be an ultimate tourist, with over-sized camera, Hawaiian shirt, and huge sombrero. Fun!

So very very little happened today that it's barely worth posting.
My older brother has been gone all day. Most of this morning it seemed as though he was just in a different room, and if I called for him, he'd come out. It's a little hard to grasp that he actually isn't here. He was away on Fridays last term as well, but since the holidays I'm not used to it anymore.
No big plans for tomorrow. My sister has these big ideas about 'Weekend Workshops', but I'm hesitant. She'll probably get her way sooner or later, but who knows how long it will last.

Well, more Shakespeare today, but not as much, so it wasn't too bad. Also, my brother and I did it together, which made it so much better.
I love the book Watership Down. It is amazing. I read the first chapter to my family today, trying to inspire interest. My little brother liked it, and now he wants me to read it to him! Not quite what I had in mind. My sister still holds the opinion that they are rabbits, and therefore not worth reading about. My mother and older brother have tried it before, and can't remember what it was like. I think it is incredible, and really make me feel like I'm there. My favorite characters are Hazel and Blackberry.

Way, way too much Shakespeare today. It seems that I spent my entire day writing pieces on why I should study Shakespeare. I'm in favor of it, you can stop trying to persuade me! Really, I probably wrote five summaries of different articles discussing reasons to study Shakespeare. That is definitely too many.
Other than that, not a lot happened today. It was a nice, companionable today. Most of it was just with my sister and older brother. We teased, worked, and had a good time. I'm glad I have siblings.

We got back too late yesterday for me to blog. My sister now has "light green and lavender" braces. I think they look green and light purple, but that's probably just me. She likes to use the exact terms.
Maths is annoying. I'm not actually that bad at it, it just takes so long, and is mostly boring.
We have had three library visits this week. Fantastic! Yesterday we were at Brisbane library, Tuesday we visited the Caboolture library, and today our school library came around. That library is actually meant only for primary schoolers, because older kids aren't thought to have enough time to read, but I always have time to read. I borrowed books from that library anyway. Some of the books they have are classics, like Little Women, and The Secret Garden. Others are less well known and more modern, like AirQuest Adventures, which are fantastic regardless.

Yesterday I was given a new skirt. It is all black, and it goes past my feet. I love it! Today I wore it, and I think it is fantastic. I love the way it swishes around me. Any skirt that does that is fantastic, and the longer the better. The only problem with a really long skirt is that when I am outside, I have to hold it up so it doesn't get dirty.
Our English teacher came around today, to give us some help on our next assignment. It was fun. I talked with her about classic books. I love classics, and have read a few, including all of Jane Austens' books, and all of the Sherlock Holmes books and stories.
The cake last night was delicious! It was chocolate, with melted chocolate just oozing out of it. It was really thick and rich. The melted chocolate was my favorite part.
Tomorrow we go to the city so my sister can get her braces looked at. She hasn't decided what colour yet.

Today is my birthday! It was fantastic. We went to Caboolture library at the Hub, and I could not believe how big it was. The Hub was huge! For some reason I was thinking it would be a small, round building, similar to a beehive. Instead it was a huge building, with three levels, heaps of rooms, and very angled, not at all round.
I borrowed 20 books at the library. For me, that is a good birthday. We also went to the op shops in the area, and my sister practically got a new wardrobe, so she's happy too. I found a Nancy Drew book and bought that. That's the first Nancy Drew book I have ever owned, and I'm pretty excited. I'm going to read it soon.

June is starting!
I cannot believe it is already June. My birthday feels like it should be much further away, not just four days! It feels like there should be a week at least to go.
The beginning of Winter, and I'm wearing a t-shirt and jeans. Surely it should be colder? It was really cold a few weeks ago, and now it's warm again!
I showed a few of my stories to my sister last night, and she liked them! I had never shown these stories to anyone before, but she enjoyed them. And she doesn't even like reading. We talked over my stories for probably a few hours. I even got her to read a few of my favorite online stories. She didn't like them as much as mine, but I think she still enjoyed them, and I'm happy with that.
