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.

Yesterday I went to Brisbane library, and now my card has 21 books on it. Brisbane library cards are only supposed to have 20 books on them at once. Today, we are going back, and unless I return books, I can't borrow anything! So I have to return some of the books I only borrowed yesterday, so that I can borrow more books today. Fortunately, I'm a quick reader, so I already read the books I'm returning, regardless of the fact that I only borrowed them yesterday. A train ride can be great for reading.
My little brother and I share several traits, one of which is to write at a ludicrous slant, that, on occasion, makes writing illegible. That is only sometimes though. Most of the time, we have legible writing. At least, he does. Mine, not so much. It's a bit mixed up. I can read it, but other people sometimes have trouble reading what I wrote in a hurry. One advantage of that, it keeps my siblings from reading my diary!
My sister is practicing her singing exercises. She has to listen to one song over and over again, and hum/murmur/??? along with it. It sounds kind of weird. Some more news about my sister? She had her braces changed again yesterday. They are now "pink and lavender".

My youth group is having a bonfire on Friday night. I think it will be really fun. My sister and older brother will be going as well. I want to be able to cook marshmallow around the campfire, but I might not be able to get that close if my throat doesn't get any better. My brother likes his marshmallows hot, as in on fire. I like mine hot, but not that hot. My sister can't cook them at all, because cooked marshmallow are bad for her braces.
This afternoon I read a really good book called Can I see your ID?. The whole book is written in 2nd person. If you don't know what that means, it means that instead of being about me (1st person) or he/she/them (3rd person), this book is about you. It's a really interesting style. The book itself is all about people who have pretended to be something else, like a teenager who pretended to be a 40-something train driver. It's a really good book, and it's really cool to read all about these people, who took on a whole other identity.

My laptop is being stubborn again, so I am once again writing on the family computer. I woke my computer up early this morning, so I could do maths before we went out, and it was wonderful. It woke up quickly, did what it was told, and stayed alert the whole time. Now, it's being incredibly stubborn.
My sister had the colours on her brace changed today. They are now pink and teal. I think they look nice.
My mother thinks I should use proper touch typing techniques while on the computer. The thing is, I can't! If I try to touch type on this computer, I end up with about five letters that I didn't mean to put in!
We went to the Brisbane Square Library today. I returned eight books, borrowed seven, and somehow my bag was heavier afterwards! I got a whole lot of heavy books. One of the books was so good, I read all 377 pages this afternoon, and then reviewed it for the newsletter my sister produces. I'll post the review here.
Adam Canfield: The Last Reporter
by Michael Winerip
The Slash, Harris Elementary/Middle School's newspaper, has been shut down for exposing the town's most powerful family's shady business dealings. But the co-editors, Adam and Jennifer, are determined to keep going. With the help of the Amache brothers, tow outrageous kid entrepeneurs, they attempt to collect the money to become an independent newspaper. A suspicious school election, and unusually high test scores, round out this funny and mysterious book.
I rate this book 5 stars.
The miracle for today is cool. Once again, these miracles are not mine. I just read about them, and are inspired by them, so I post them here.

One of my girlfriends had dropped off her 3 year old son at daycare. The weather was very cold and there was predicted to be a snowstorm later that day.
Mid-morning she received a call from the daycare to pick up her child. The snowstorm was approching much faster than previously anticipated. She picked up her son, and as they were on the way home, the snow began falling heavily and the roads became icy.
The car hit a patch of ice, and her car spun several times. He son was safely strapped in the the safety seat in the back. The car spun off the road, and somehow landed safely between a stand of several trees. My girlfried, shaken, turned to check on her son in the back seat.
Her son looked up at her and asked in his little 3 year old voice... "Mom... when we were going around and around and around... who was that man looking in the window?"
Puzzled, my friend ask her son, "What did the man look like?".
Her son replied, "He just smiled at me".

I have not blogged at all this month. That's not actually saying much, as this month is only four days in, but still.
On Thursday, we got back really late. Too late to blog. We spent the day in the city. My sister got her braces changed to teal and white. We also went to the Sciencentre, to solve a murder mystery. We did. We got the right criminals, and it wasn't too gross. However, examing the body of a dead guy isn't fun. I was afraid my mum would offer us lunch afterwards. Fortunately, she didn't, because I would have been feeling to sick toeat it!
Yesterday, we went to Dreamworld, and I think the Claw is my new favorite ride there, though it was kind of cool to be on Wipeout when it broke down. We were stuck up there for about five minutes while they got an engineer.
I'm not typing on my laptop today, because it's being slow, so I'm using our family computer. I haven't tried to type a decent amount on anything other than a laptop for years, so I won't write much today. Also, it's getting late.

I've got another follower, Wayne. Thank you! It is so cool to see another person following my blog.
Last night, my brother inscribed his initials in soap too. Unfortunately, he chose the soap that we are currently using, and therefore his initials have worn put already.
Isn't it annoying when days are hot without being sunny? I love a hot sunny day, or a cool cloudy day, but a hot cloudy day is just frustrating. It doesn't seem sunny enough to put a fan on, but it's too hot to get by without one. Fortunately, there is a nice breeze blowing through the doors most of the day.
For once, my sister has disappeared, but my older brother is right nearby. I think my sister is in our room, maybe with headphones in, listening to music. My brother is in the backyard, checking for damages after my little brother was in the backyard with a soundtrack of smashing sounds. A little bit alarming.
It's a quarter past two right now, at least in this part of the world. I don't know what everyone else is doing, but they are probably at school. This is part of my schoolwork. Lucky me!
I can't post tomorrow, because we have to get up really early to get to the city, so my sister can get her braces checked. There appears to be a problem with them. After that, we stay in the city for the whole afternoon, because we're spending the weekend with our dad, who lives in the city. There isn't really a point in making the trip twice. My older brother will be in the city all day anyway, to study. So no more posts til Sunday.

December 9
Today, the bad weather is finally over! It's a nice sunny day outside, which is great, except for the fact that sun means I have to put clothes on the washing line. But that's not so bad if it means sunshine for the 2nd day of the holidays.
Yesterday I didn't have time to blog, because I got up so late. Then we had to go to the city so my sister could have a checkup on her braces. Now, instead of purple, they are red and green for Christmas. Next, she wants them green and gold for Australia Day, and after that either pink for Valentines Day, or green for St Patrick's Day.
Tonight, the youth group my brother and I go to is having water night break up. We can all get really wet to celebrate our last night for the year. Just before, the kids group my younger brother and siter go to is also having a wet night, so it will be a very wet evening. Thankfully, it shouldn't rain.
My little brother and my sister are splitting up their PollyPocket collection, so that they can play. My older brother is lying on the lounge, reading a book about superheroes, or he's wandering around the house, looking like he isn't doing anything. One day we may find that he's working with nuclear physics, or is inventing some earth shattering new technology, or (and this is even more unlikely) is going out partying!
