School.

My great holiday has now come to an end, school starts tomorrow so now begins the loading of schoolbags up with a ridiculous number of textbooks, trying to get to bed 3 hours before you have been for the last two months, and mentally preparing yourself for the itchy, uncomfortable and tortutous school uniform that will, no matter how hard you try, look ‘cool’ no matter what you do with it.

I shouldn’t be blogging now… I know I shouldn’t start the term with procrastination before school has even started even if I know it will end that way but… what can you do…

I’m particularly dreading the auditions for various music ensembles in the first week :S

So….. this holidays I have:

- Seen movies…. none of them were that great (Except Avatar!).

- Read some AMAZING books!

- Learnt how to ride a vigor – board (Like a Ripstick!)

- Went on an amazing holiday overseas

- Not practiced my saxophone enough

- Was not eaten by a hippopotamus

So, now it’s time for me to face reality and get ready for school, set my alarm, pack my bag and try to fall asleep sometime before midnight…. uh oh!

I did NOT get eaten by a Hippopotamus

I was eaten by a hippopotamus

I went to Hogwarts

I made my broadway debut

I went travelling through space and time with the Doctor

OK, so none of that happened, but there IS a good reason that I haven’t blogged for the last six weeks (even if there isn’t a good reason I didnt tell yau about it first!)

I live in Australia and I went on holidays in Europe for three weeks (So while not actually attending Hogwarts i was much closer to it than i usually am!)

I did not tell you, dear blog reader, before i left because…. well, basically it was Christmas and I was really really busy (A bad excuse, I know…)

Sorry that i have not blogged for so long and sorry that my first blog in six weeks has been so boring but I WILL blog again soon!

Please leave a comment (Even though I probably dont deserve them… )

Christmas Shopping

Me? I am not the most organised of people. My homework is always left until the night before it is due, Learning music for a concert and organising anything is always left until the very last minute.

So naturally, I have only just begun my Christmas shopping. I bought something for my younger sister and something for my Mum, I am buying a combined present for my Dad but I am really struggling with what to get for my 12 year old brother…

Also, I am searching (well… I havent exactly started searching yet..) for a nice recipe with orange in it. Every year, our extended family has a Bake Off at Christmas with a theme. It has to be a dessert or snack style food and I’m sure I will find something once i start looking, but I know I will probably just ask Google at the last minute…

Do any of you have any Christmas traditions like that?

Also… I am looking for some new music at the moment… I am into pretty much anything except extreme techno and heavy metal! Any suggestions?

Thanks for the comments on my Snow entry! Please leave a comment… It will make my day!

The All Knowing Wisdom Of Google

I love blogging but lately I have had had a bit of a block on what to write. So, having a problem, I did what any regular person would do… I asked Google for the answer. And Google, in all its wisdom, told me to blog about something I was interested in because I was more likely to know a lot about it. And so I thought “What do I know a lot about?”

And, sad as you may think it is, the first thing that came to mind was Harry Potter!

I know A LOT about Harry Potter.

I have read and reread and read and reread the books. I even have the audio books and digital copies of the book on my computer.

I love the books, think they are well written and to have thought up such amazing, deep plotlines J.K Rowling must be a genius.

And I know that some people hate the books and movies and dont like the hype surrounding them but I met someone yesterday who told me that they loved the books and plotlines but didn’t think that they were written particularly well.

So everyone has different outlooks on the books. Do you agree with the hype surrounding them? Do you love them? Or are one of those people whoh CALLS yourself a fan but has really only seen the films…. ?

This has been my first post about Harry Potter but i doubt it will my last…

Also, I have been getting lots of views on my blog lately but no comments *sigh*

Sooo….. If you would like to leave one it would really make my day…

Snow!

Today, When typing up my previous post i saw the wordpress announcement bar/box up the top of my screen said ‘A Little Snow For The Holidays’

I normally dismiss these anouncements as they normally have nothing to do with me but i clicked on the link for this one and now… my blog is snowing! Im not sure if you can see it very well because my blog colours are so light… but it snows!

If you want snow on your blog then on your dashboard go to “Appearance” and then click on “Extras”. Select the box next to “Make It Snow On My Blog” and voila!

This was particularly exciting because although I have seen snow many times and will be seeing it (Hopefully) again this year at Christmas, It doesn’t snow where I live and Christmas falls in the middle of Summer.

Happy Blog Snow!

Mental Blockage

Hello the internet!

I am on holidays And, as we all know…. Avid Reader + Holidays = A desperate need for more books

Soooo….. This morning i went to the library and borrowed a lot of books.Now, next to my bed, there stands a tower of novels that threatens to fall at any moment.

Among these books are Vanishing Acts (Jodi Picoult), Blood Promise (Richelle Mead), The Lab (Jack Heath) and Kill The Possum (James Moloney).

One of my friends has decided that I need to try again with The Host (Stephenie Meyer). I got to about page 400 last time and I couldn’t keep going, I wasn’t feeling any sort of connection with any of the characters or relating to any of the situations so I stopped reading. This particular friend, though, does not believe in starting a book and not finishing it so she has somehow convinced me to start it again…

So, i will let you know how I go with reading my books and whatever else I happen to do in my holidays!

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while but I have been busy with school etc. And I tried to write this so many times, I had so many things going round in my head but when I sat down here in front of my computer I found that i had nothing to write about.

Awesome: Holidays, Having time to read and Advent calenders

UnAwesome: Mental/Writers Blockage, Having no ideas of your own so you borrow (steal) and modify ideas from awesome people like HayleyGHoover….

Awesome Websites!

Hi!

Ok I havent been doing much that is constructive lately but I HAVE been doing a lot of procrastinating on the internet… which has lead to me finding some really cool websites!

Firstly… and kind of obviously there is MLIA, which is really funny (and a lot less depressing than FML) but it DOES waste A LOT of my time…

And then I discovered (Through MLIA)  Mystery Google which is really cool! You basically search something up… just like google but you see the result of whatever the person immediately beffore you searched for! I didnt even know that this existed!!

Then there is the blogs that I follow…

And then obviously there is Facebook….

Any other cool sites or great blogs that anyone knows of?

I would LOVE it if you commented!

Please?

(hmmm… I just read over this and I KNOW it isnt very good… but I felt like I needed to post something… and I really do love these websites!)

Glee

Hmmm… I have started this post several times on different topics but nothing seems to be working for me… maybe it is my computers way of telling me to go outside on a beautiful day like today?

Anyway, I just wanted to tell you guys that at the moment I’m loving The Glee soundtrack!  I am self confessed Gleek… I know the show doesn’t have that much substance but all the same…:P

Good Luck to everyone doing NaNoWriMo! And… PLEASE leave a comment!!

A Life Without the Internet…

If i added up all the time i was on the internet, not studying, for an entire year, I think I would surprise myself how much it added up to…

I also would surprise myself with how constructively i could use that amount of time… homework, study, practising my instruments, getting fit, calling friends, cooking, talking to my family, rehearsing my lines, learning my choir music, reading, writing, dancing… the list goes on…

I think at exam time I will have to terminate my facebook or I will NEVER get any work done!

Hmmm… in other news, actually… not much has been happening. Halloween was fun, i went out with some friends in a cool new sparkly dress…

I.Got.A.View.

I got a view.., yes, a single view. A single person went onto my blog… probably by mistake, and no, they didn’t leave a comment, they probably didn’t even read anything… so I should probably not be as excited as  I am!!

Anyway… I do use ellipsis’ (plural?) too much… way too much! Maybe I need a detox of them as well…
