November 5

Sorry, I haven't updated in half of forever, otherwise known as October 17. In my defense, I was on holidays for a large part of that time, and the rest of it was mostly taken up with holiday related things.

Two nights ago, I watched Sherlock, episode three, season two. It was just so sad, and utterly brilliant. Now I can't wait for Season Three, so that Sherlock can come back, and I can find out what happened! Somehow, I don't think that John will forgive him as easily as Watson forgave Holmes. Different times, and (though some may not agree) different characters.

So, one final thing to finish with.

These are all photos I took at the Laser and Light show in Brisbane.

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!

Last Saturday, I was in Brisbane with my family, and we saw the Laser and Light Show. It was really impressive! I took some photos.

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.

14 September

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.

September 11

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.
