For the last few days we have been trying to install wifi, and finally it worked! We now have wifi, and it is so cool. I'm guessing that we will spend a lot of our time sending messages to each other over wifi. Talking may become a thing of the past in our household.
Tomorrow the teacher is coming to review the work that my older brother and I are doing. We are both dismally behind in Maths, and so we are not looking forward to the visit.
My birthday is under a week away! I've already had two positive replies to my party invites, and no negatives. I can hope that all my guests will make it.

May 20
I just finished reading The Boy In Striped Pajamas, and it wasn't as sad as I thought it would be. The movie was awful, and was so utterly despairing, but the book made it seem so matter of fact. There wasn't much emotion to it. For once, I liked the movie better than the book.
I'm writing on the family computer, because I see no point in waking up my notoriously tempermental laptop for only an hour or so. Normally I would spend hours reading on the internet at the weekend, but today I decided to decrease my pile of unread library books instead.

April 25 (Anzac Day)
This blog is called Random Thoughts, so: Earlier, I was lying on our trampoline looking up at the sky, and the clouds made me think of lying under a giant bed. It seemed like I was lying under a giant cloud bed, that was sagging in the middle, and was all gray.
My mother has tried all day to get out wifi set up, but nothing seems to work. I think she said that it's faulty, and we'll get a new one.
I've been reading all day today, and all yesterday evening too. It was fun. I love to read, but recently I've been doing more online reading, and less book-in-hand reading. Last night, when I was racing through three books, one after another, sitting there, curled up on the lounge, book in hand, it felt like I was exactly where I was supposed to be. A little bit like coming home after a long holiday. It just kind of feels right.
My older brother, my sister, and my little brother made Anzac biscuits today. They made some with chocolate, and some without, and personally, I think the chocolate ones aren't nearly as good as the plain ones. The cloudy sky made it fantastic to be sitting inside with a book, smelling Anzac biscuits cooking, and tasting them after. The perfect way to spend the holiday.
It's getting colder now. With winter comes my birthday, so I can't wait! The only problem is that I can't decide on a party theme! I want to have a party with a few friends to celebrate my birthday, but I can't pick a theme. I can't send invitations until I have a theme, so I'm starting to worry about it. It's a very good thing that it isn't winter yet, and I still have more than a month to go.
We didn't go square dancing last night. Some of us were kind of tired, and just wanted a night to chill at home. Now I just have to hope that we haven't missed out on learning something vitally important!

April 24
The workshop today went well. It was weird, the only people there were the two teachers, my brother, myself, and one other student. Not many people could make it apparently.
I'm going to have a reading afternoon. It's been a while since I sat down with a book or three, and read the afternoon away. It's only three o clock, so I'll have plenty of time. I don't want to be on the internet this afternoon for two reasons. One, to disprove my brother's claim that I spend heaps of the internet (he's right, but I don't want to admit it). Two, my mother is setting up a wireless system, and she'd like us to be off the 'net while she's doing it.
So, off to the books!

I am once again writing on the family computer, but this time it's for a different reason. My laptop is working perfectly fine. It's just that my older brother is using the internet connection we share. I have to say, I'm enjoying how fast this computer is, and I'm enjoying the use of an ENTER button. My computer is unfortunately missing one.
I have a new miracle. This one is personal.It may not seem such a big deal as yesterday's, but it's special to me. I like to read stories on the internet. Normally, these stories can only be read on the internet.Sometimes, like today, my brother uses our internet connection. Somehow, Someway, I can still read these stories, even when I'm offline! Better still, my computer can actually procees them faster than when I'm online! That, for me, is miraculous and majorly cool.
My little brother has had a sick day today, and from what he said, you'd think it was the worst punishment in the world! All he had to do was lie on the lounge all day watching movies, and rest in his bed for 45 minutes in the afternoon. He complained the whole time! Now he reckons he'll never take a sick day again. That's hard to believe.
We go square dancing tonight!

February 26
How could the weekend be almost over already? Once again, I won't write much, because I want to make the most of every second. I know there will be another weekend next week, but I won't get as much computer time then, so I want to make the most of every moment I can get now. Who knows what might happen next week (except God, of course)?

I don't want to write much now. I'm reading a story on the internet, so I want as much time as I can possibly have before it gets too dark. We did not go to Dreamworld today, due to a severe weather warning. The weather today was hot and rainy, the worst possible combination. Bye!

I am completely convinced that you can find anything on the internet, if you know where and how to look. I love searching some of my favorite things on the internet, and reading what other people have to say about them. I think it is so cool, and it makes me think about things in a different light.
Do you ever do something way too much, and then start thinking like that? I have recently had the weird experience of typing my thoughts on a mental computer. I can't touch type, and if you asked me where the keys are on a keyboard, I wouldn't really know, but somehow, I can find them without any trouble in my head. Also, if I've been reading a particular book for a while, sometimes I can still see certain passages from it when I close my eyes. It's kind of cool, and kind of weird.
It is drizzling steadily here. It'll probably be cold tonight.
