October 17
Wow,I really haven't updated in a while, have I? Sorry, I've just been really busy with schoolwork. I go to Tasmania on holidays at the end of the week, and will be in Tassie for two weeks, so I have a lot of schoolwork to do to prepare. Blogging has kind of fallen by the wayside.
I saw some episodes of Sherlock over the last few weeks, and it is awesome! I still haven't seen the final episode of Season 2, because, to be honest, I'm putting it off. Any proper Sherlock Holmes fan knows what happened at the Reichenbach Falls, and that I'm not sure I want to see just yet. At least, not until I run out of everything else.
I'm doing Animal Farm for English this term, and I am learning so much about it that I never knew before. I knew for a while that it was based on the Russian Revolution, but I didn't know just how closely. It seems that everyone in the story has some real life counterpart, and it is amazing!
This year for Christmas, my family will be doing a sort of Secret Santa, except with shoeboxes. We are going to make shoeboxes for each other, and have already picked our recipients names out of a hat. We will be following the basic rules of the Samaritans Purse: Operation Christmas Child shoebox rules. It should be really fun! Probably hard as well, but I think the hardest part could be the waiting. I have to wait another two months to find out who is giving me a shoebox!

There was also a really good photo my little brother took. The quality of it astounded me! It looks really professional, but I promise you, it was taken by my little brother.
I have way, way more photos, but I don't want to inundate my readers with them, so I'll stop here.

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 I got back from youth group camp. I had a great time! It was freezing cold, and we had to get up really early, but it was fun, and I enjoyed it.
I don't really update my blog regularly, do I? I should, but I'm never quite sure what to write, or who is actually reading it. So, I think in future I'll update more sporadically, when I actually have something I want to write, whether that's something funny I've heard, or just something about the weather.

Just a really quick update. I go camping this afternoon with my youth group, and won't be back until Sunday. So don't expect any updates for a while, okay?

Bible quote
Others were given in exchange for you
I traded their lives for yours
Because you are precious to me
You are honored, and I love you.
Isaiah 43:4

The Spring Fair was last Saturday, and I managed to get my shoulders really sunburnt. Now, I can baly move without it hurting! Other than that, it was a great day. A lot of money was made for our church, and I saw the sunset, after waking up at four to be there on time. The world looks so different at 4 AM, and I don't regret getting up that early if it means I could see that sky. It was awesome.
Tomorrow, our high school teacher is coming for lunch, and to review our work. I'm a little nervous, as there is a lot that she might want to talk to us about, and I don't enjoy talking with teachers, especially when not strictly necessary.

It's SPRING!
Finally the weather is warming up. Yesterday I was at the beach, and it was fantastic! I can't wait for school to be finished, so we can make the most of the weather. Apart from the fact that I just, you know, want school to finish, I actually have a reason!
My English Assignment is finally done! I just have to send it to my teacher, and I am finished my English work for the term. Awesome!

Did you know that there are some chocolate cookies that taste like hardened chocolate ice cream, they are so good? I found out yesterday, and it is a delicious taste, thought to be honest I think I would prefer the ice cream.
My older brother just told us about a man who mailed himself to his girlfriend, and was almost killed when it was lost in the post. That would be so funny! Probably terrifying as well, and definitely stupid, but without a doubt it would be funny. If not at the time, then afterwards.

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.

I was listening to a song, and the word 'tchotchkes' came up. I looked it up, and it actually is a word. Wikipedia says it's 'a small toy, gewgaw, knickknack, swag, bauble, thingamajig, doodad, lagniappe, trinket, or kitsch.'
So there you go, your word for today. Congratulations! Having learned the obligatory one new thing for today, you can go back to bed.
My brother is reading over my shoulder, so I'll stop here.

Well, so little actually happened today, that I have nothing to write about. It was simply an ordinary day, with schoolwork, dancing, and reading, and will probably continue as such.

That budgeting assignment is now done and submitted, finally! Now I only have one assignment to worry about. Isn't that so much better?!
I've been listening to Phineas and Ferb songs all morning. For those who don't know, Phineas and Ferb are these guys:
and they have some awesome songs, and the coolest adventures. This is their theme song:
There's 104 days in summer vacation
And school comes along just to end it
So the annual problem for our generation
Is finding a good way to spend it
Like maybe!
Building a rocket
Or fighting a mummy
Or climbing up the Eiffel tower
Discovering something that doesn't exist
Or giving a monkey a shower
Surfing tidal waves
Creating nano bots
Or looking Frankenstein's brain
Finding a dodo bird
Painting a continent
Driving your sister insane
As you can see
There's a whole lot of stuff to do
Before school starts this fall
So stick with us cause Phineas and Ferb
Are gonna do it all
So stick with us cause Phineas and Ferb are
Gonna do it all!
It is a totally awesome song.

It is finally getting warmer here. We might even be able to go swimming soon. That would be so great. I love going swimming, especially seeing my hair swirl out around me. It also means that I might be able to take some of the blankets off my bed, and not freeze at night!
My brother and I are finally finishing that maths assignment. I finished mine, my brother isn't far off. Other than that, not a lot happened today.
On Saturday, we went to Currumbin, and went on the Green Challenge. That was so much fun! I did the green course, and most of the red course. It was totally awesome, with climbing through tunnels, flying foxes, swinging on ropes, and walking tightropes, all really high off the ground. I loved it!
The other stuff there was good too. We saw a baby joey, touched a baby crocodile, patted kangaroos, and had an emu follow us around for a while. What a time!

Wow, the days really aren't that interesting at the moment. It seems that nothing much seems to happen. I did find out a few utterly useless facts.
Did you know that Barbie's full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts, and that Ken's last name is Carson?

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.

Today has been pretty much nothing but hard work and reading. I had more work than last week, yet I still had more time to read. Tomorrow will probably be more of the same.
Really, nothing blogworthy happened today. It was a pretty much average day, except that my mother is sick.
Yesterday something totally cool and weird happened to my computer. I somehow managed to turn the screen entirely upside down! It was totally weird, yet still had a level of awesome. It took me a while to turn it back around again, but it was still so neat!
