Short update

No deaths have been caused recently on account of sledding. Just wanted to keep you updated! I have to go to orchestra practice now. Bye! 

Sledding

Since I told some people I would post a post on my blog, I am. Sledding gets better every day. Big hill with  trees, ending with a patch of thorns, followed by a thin patch of ice on the edge of our lake which does not hesitate to break when stepped on. I have not broken through myself but I have seen it happen many times to some people (their names will remain unspoken for sake of privacy due to embarrassment). Luckily, the water is only about a foot deep, but underneath that is about three feet of mud. Many a sled and bone hath been broken upon the tree stumps hiding under the snow. They are about an inch or two around and about four inches high, and joyfully await the chance to impale a person, along with a sled here or there. According to one person, one stump even succeeded at dislocating their hip. Later, we deduced that this information could not be considered credible. To add to the excitement, we made a jump out of hay bales and post snowball-throwers to distract you on the way down. We also challenge each other to see who can weave in and out of the trees the most with out getting hit. The Judges then grade your performance on a scale of 1 to 10. In the past, there have also been contests for the most impressive crashes.
All this is considered great fun by those who have not perished, but don't tell our parents. You never know how far they'll go. They already ruined one game by saying that we're not allowed to break through the ice on purpose :oP. I wonder why? I can't seem to comprehend why such a rule would be established. I didn't do it of course, I just stood and watched. It brought joy to my heart to see the person that crashed into me on the way down the hill willingly plunge themselves through the ice and into the water. The reason the ice is thin at the bottom of the hill is because our geothermal heat system discharge goes out into the lake there. Mud galore! To be continued... 

Ice Skating

Ice skating is fun. See John run. John likes to run. Sigh... I feel like a cup of tea and a book. Unfortunately, school can get in the way of things. I do like school in moderation. But right now, I want to read a book, practice an instrument, or learn a language. I'm not fluent in anything except English unfortunately. But I am working on Spanish and Latin, and when I learn them, you will have to as well, because then my blog will be blogged in one of those. I figured you would want a heads-up. Have fun! I would also like to learn French, German and Greek, so go ahead and learn those too. Merry Christmas! Now where is that tea kettle...

Title: I can't think of one. How about 'Toucans eating Jellyfish'?

I had to get on here really a lot, because I had the sudden urge to tell you all something... It's very important, so it is something that I need to tell you. Therefore I will tell you, after, well I don't know. I might tell you, but it's very important so I guess I have to. Maybe not. While I'm deciding... do you like enchiladas? They can vary greatly, but I know a recipe that is the best. But that's not what I was going to tell you. But it still matters, because enchiladas are good, as long as you have a good recipe. I do. The reason I brought enchiladas up in the first place is because I can smell them. Mmmmmmm... They smell good. Eat much enchiladas.
Our Christmas tree is pretty.
I will tell you what I was going to tell you now. Listen closely. This will change your life. Ready? Make sure you are holding on to something and you haven't had back surgery between AD 1666-1689.

Gasp!......

Apparently, the last post on here was posted Feb. 21, 2010. In case you were wondering, that was a long time ago. So to all my fellow friends may I say sorry... but I have a good reason! Therefore, you must forgive me. This blog may undergo some major changes in the near future so stay tuned. For now, I'm officially advertising for my string quartet, 16 Strings Youth Quartet, in a marvelous font!Would you like to see it again? Okay! 16 Strings Youth Quartet. Uh-oh, I can't figure out how to get it out of the pretty font, oh well... Wait! there we go! anyway, my string quartet is very good and you would love seeing us perform... notice I'm using ellipsis points frequently! (...) I really like them... We are going to try to perform on Dec. 27 for a Christmas party, but I don't know if everybody will be able to. Right now I've really fallen in love with the song, "I'm Just a Little Black Raincloud" from Pooh Bear. It is very fully awesome. Even though it makes it sound like you're in a bad mood, I sing it when I'm happy, because little black rainclouds are so cute and Pooh is spectacular. So don't think it means I'm grumpy. After all, it is a springy little tune in a major key. I think it would be nice to have that song on my iPod, but I don't exactly know if I could get it. By the way, my friends, drink much eggnog, enjoy Christmas, don't scream if you find a toad in your eggnog, I didn't do it! Oh! and also, don't eat fried giraffe beetles on your pizza, it's hazardous to your health.

Hello, Stranger!

Hello! I know I haven't written in a while. So long, in fact, I want you to pretend this is a new blog and I just started it, okay? My last post was Oct. 16, which was before a lot of things. I now play viola, which is very fun, we are still doing school, and I am still into knitting and crochet and I am currently working on a crocheted afghan. It is rippled with four different colors. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I got a mandolin, which is fun. I started piano lessons again, which was soooooo nice! (luckily, we have our grand piano back). Lately, we have been enjoying skating on our lake and playing hockey. Reuben's birthday was yesterday, and we had a big hockey game and I have no skates that fit me right now so I had to use boots! Still, it was a lot of fun. He got a ukulele too, which is so tiny Ella suggested she could use it as a guitar for her doll! He can already play Mary had a Little Lamb.
Today was exciting for me, because I got a viola book I had ordered. It was Bach's Cello Suites arranged for viola. I have been practicing the easier ones, but with most of them I just laugh.
I am going to try to post again soon, so keep checking! bye!

Baby fish!

Hi! I am sorry I have not updated sooner, but we do not have internet and it is hard to find the chance to post. As you are probably wondering I do have a baby fish!!! (singular) It is only one, and it is a guppy! Now you are probably wondering why I have guppies. It turns out meijer had a great deal on them and I got them a month ago. The baby is definitely not new, because it is already about a centimeter long and has no fear of the other fish. It has no coloration and I can not tell what gender it is, so as badly as I want to, I will not name it until I know if it's a girl or boy, and I would like to see what color it is, too. I will try to get some baby bettas into this world soon, all I need is a tank stand, and I also need to order a microworm culture so that the babies can have food! I am almost nervous to start, because I feel like I still don't know what I'm doing! I guess I'm just worried about what to do with 200 baby fish!! ☺ I will probably wrap up, but I hope to get to you soon with pictures, news, etc. Bye!
