I haven't blogged in...
What seems like forever now.

My goodness.

My last post was like... August-ish? Maybe? I dunno.
So, I'm back here to just rant my head off, and perhaps yours as well. So shush and listen.
Rather, read.
:D

I'm uh... 15 now... Life's goin'... yeah... Uh... I just got back from a camp as a mini-counselor. I was in a cabin of 6th graders where one half of them hated showers and I had to force them to wash themselves, and the other half, I wasn't able to get them out if I'd been paid a million bucks.
And their beds? DISASTROUS.
I was also approached by a little kid who called me the 'girl who uses too big words.'
Maybe that's because I yelled, 'That is unnecessarily preposterous!', when our team lost a water-balloon relay... :/
I was asked to repeat in, 'earth speak.'
I also said, 'magnanimous' instead of 'awesome' and 'antidisestablishmentarianism' just because that word rocks.
:D

Anyways... Yeah...
And now, 'tis nearing Christmas and Face-Stuffing-with-Pumpkin-Pie season. And I haven't blogged in that long.

Do me a favor, so you can understand this just a little better, and make the face you'd make if you walked into your bedroom right now and saw a circle of walruses playing checkers.

That, dear friend, is my face right now.

So, hello to you people. Believe it or not, I HAVE missed you all. Even those of you who don't even COMMENT.

* cough, nudge nudge *

I have a life. :D I've had some privileges taken away for a few months, but they're back now... Well, most of them.
Another I will get back this Saturday.

* does a weird dance *

* sees you watching *

* blushes and screams *

* disappears like an Indian in those old movies *

CHA.
I say that all the time. CHA. It's just a cool way to say 'yeah.'
CHA!

And don't, try to be extra-cool and be like,
"Yo, Ron. Are you coming to eat dinner with us or not?"
"Oh, cha-cha!"

Yeah, um.... NO.
Uhh.. No.

Please.. don't.

Anyways... People have been bugging me and bugging me to blog, so... There it is.

Hope you enjoyed it. Maybe giggled a bit. :)

Hugs!

RICHARD THE LIONHEARTED!
King of England. Richard was famed for his reckless courage and extreme cruelty‒he massacred 3,000 brave Moslems who had surrendered Acre to the Crusaders under his safe conduct‒as well as for gallantry to many, including Saladin. Favorite of his mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine, who set him against his royal father Henry 11 of England-himself falsely accused of having loved Thomas Becket, with whom he did share a bed on occasion while carousing and wenching together before Becket became Archbishop of Canterbury- Richard has been seen by some as a mama's boy.

The Norman and Angevin (Plantagenet] kings of England were, along with their courtiers, regularly accused by monkish chroniclers of sodomy. It was not true of Henry 11, who .made his son's fiancee Alice of France his mistress to the outrage of Eleanor and Richard. The accusation rings true, however, for William II Rufus (ca. 1056-1100), as for his nephew Prince William (son of his brother Henry I), who was coasting down the Channel with his frivolous, effcrninate companions, when the White Ship capsized‒"God's vengeance on the sodomites," as the chroniclers declared.

REPORT: TERRACOTTA! That is fun to say...

2009-07-31T07:56:00.000-07:00

So today I'm supposed to do a report on somethin' I read about in History.

* goes and finds out what the report was supposed to be again *

Aha! Yes.

I'm supposed to write about Terracotta. It is a type of clay. It's name is Italian for 'baked earth'. It's a natural brownish red color, and has been used for centuries. Whether to make a sculpture, or a pot, or whatever... It's a very old material used for arts and crafts.
It makes me think of... that appetizer horse whatever, called bruschetta. Terracotta bruschetta.
Doesn't that sound yummy? Mmmm...

* cough, cough * NOT.

Terracotta is still used today. It's clay. Yay.
It's flexible enough to be used to make ANYTHING.
Go out and buy some... It's a lotta fun!

* slowly sticks head over wall *

Hi... everybody...

I haven't blogged in.. forever.. I know.
* shields face with hands *

I come here with grave news...
My other, wonderful, faithful computer has gone to Heaven. He has passed. He was a frie-!-
* ducks, as a pineapple comes her way *

ALRIGHT! I admit.. I have been leaving... And not coming back for quite some time.
It's just that nothing has been going on. Worthy enough to be mentioned in my blog, I mean.
Well, my birthday is coming up. The treinta! :D
My pop-tarts are gone.
And my Cheez Nips.
* puts head in hands and bawls *
* wipes eyes with hankie *
I'll survive, though.
Today is Friendship Day, here in cold, frigid Paraguay. I have recieved messages that say the exact same thing, from all kinds of different people.
Even my phone service sent me a friendship message...
Freaks.
Tomorrow, I'll be going to the mall. And being a girl with a bunch of my girlfriends. :) We'll be taking pictures, and trying things on, walkin' around ..(the Christmas tree GAH! * stops self *), just being total nincompoops.
That is a very fun word.
Try saying it fast.
Seriously.
I double dog donut dare you!
* stares at you until you say it *

It comes out soundin' somethin' like 'nincumpup'... say it 8 times really fast.
>:D I DARE YOU!

Comes out like 'ninkapoo'... Let's hope we never meet a Ninka who has to 'go'... Cause.. That's what'd come out... of it's... yeah.. xD

So, my last post was about a red button game. Addicting, I must say.
Well, my friend... * needs to make up a name for her *... EEYORE! :) She loves Eeyore...
Okay, Eeyore will be coming to my house tomorrow and spending the night. :)
WHO'S GIGGLING?!?!?!?

* slaps the giggly person with a Twizzler *
LAUGHTER!... Is a sin.

* stares at cat who is and has been stuck in the closet *
It's her fault. She climbed up there; she can get down. :)

She's PREGNANT! She's a fatty! She's got a huge tummy. Regrettably, I think she may end up having the kittens in my room, since she spends so much time there.
Let's hope not.
* shudders *

Anna, I love you, baby, but if you give birth in my quarters I'll beat the tar out of you.
Okay.. No, I probably won't. I'll scream bloody murder, then go get Dad, explain what's going on, and then in the morning, I will pet the precious little beauties. :) And you, of course, Anna.
For those of you who may be completely clueless, 'ANNA' is my lovely Siamese cat. :)

She's really adorable... And soft. BOY, is she soft! She feels as though she were made of cotton.

I bought a coat today. Okay, I guess I'd better elaborate on that... DAD bought me a coat today. It's red! And ... sparkly-ish... You know, that.. really sheen material? And I look like a Michelin man who just fell in a vat of Ketchup. :) But it's cute. And cozy. And that's the whole point of a coat.
One can't live on hoodies and sweaters alone! :)
Unless you bundle up in a ton of them. But we all know that'd be UGLY as... a frog's nostril.
And those are ugly.

* gags *

And then a few days ago, we went out and bought a ton of pretty skirts and a few shirts and a snazzy jean jacket.
Okay, there's something I don't get. 'Snazzy'.. But you pronounce it, 'schnazzy'. Kinda like, 'schnauzer'.
* Schnazzy would be a nice nickname for a schnauzer *
* makes mental note, for if she ever gets a schnauzer *
Schnauzer dogs look like little Irish men. I always wanna put a pair of glasses on one... It just sounds cute.

Okay, so I was thinking of maybe making yet ANOTHER blog... With my fashion opinion. :)
:)

Whaddaya think? I could be real creative with it, and state my opinion as hard as I wish, cause.. It's MY blog and I can do whatever I want with it! :P

:)

HAI!

2009-07-11T07:55:00.000-07:00

K, so today I have choir practice. I ♥ choir practice...:)

I'm recovering from my cough, drinkin' nasty, gross medicine to get the yicky cough and cold-ness out.
One is blue pills that taste like the jungle. (Don't ask. But even Mom says they do...)
And nasty cough syrup with a name that is at the very least honest...It sounds nasty, and is. It's called Muxol.
EW.

Grr...Hungry. I can't wait til' lunch.

* scans blogger template website she snatched from Skittles *

* icky nasty 'RIP micheal j' one...* gags *

I'd like the world to know... Here is a newsflash:

"FLASH: MICHEAL JACKSON IS STILL DEAD!"

Now. Would ya chillazzy, please?

Why do people care so much about him? All I know is I was sayin' on my Facebook,
'Micheal J is dead! weirdo...'
And someone said to me:

It's not nice to think so happily when a person dies...

To which I retorted:

Are you even sure he was a person? Have you SEEN him?

And they said:

...Good point.

:)

What else can I jabber about? I love that word...Jabber. It's more cool than chatter, and that's part of my email...I should switch it.
But no. Cause then all my friends would hate me, because they wouldn't be able to find me and I just don't wanna go through all that trouble.

I got a keyboard! Pastor J is awesome... He gave it to us for free! And now it sits in the corner of my room, with Anna wanting to jump on it. I have to say "no, Anna!" because if she jumps on it it'll fall, and break...And I'll get in trouble. For something the cat did....But somehow, it'll be switched around to my fault. Probably for leaving it out...? I dunno. But I don't wanna risk it. :)

* coughs *
COVER YOUR FACE! I've a bad habit of not covering my mouth... So it's up to you not to get sick.

...
>:)
...

It's highly contagious! I could cough on you and ...well...You'd...cough. But still! I have power! I have power to ...make you cough. But I have POWER!
Sicky evil powers! You'd have to drink MUXOL to recover from it! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! And drink nasty QuickSoup like me...!!

>:D hehehehehehe!

The Oxiclean guy died a while ago. The one that screamed at you?

* HOLLERSHOUTITWORKSKAAAAABOOM!ANDTHE STAIN IS GONE! *

That dude.

That is one of the reasons I was glad we don't have American television.
Not that I like television...In fact, I barely ever watch anything but Bones. That's it. House I dislike muchly. I don't like the dubbed-over-in-Spanish Disney junk, or the reality shows. Or those stupid suspense series...Like Lost. "GAH! What's gonna HAPPEN to them? Is she gonna have her baby on the ISLAND?"

To Be Continued...
And then you want to either call up the directors and sue them or just throw something at the TV.
It's not healthy!

That's another phrase that cracks me up!

'Too much internet time isn't healthy!"

What...Is it gonna make me puke?

* opens Gmail *

* heart-attack *

* gasps for breath *

* throws up *

* regrets Internet *

Nope. Not gonna happen. :)
...

A lot of people have been finding my blog recently. Icky freaky creeps, and then a few Indian fellas.
Talkin' in SPANISH. I think they may be more messed up than me...And if they think for ONE SECOND that I'm goin' back to their blog Indo whatever-ness... THINK AGAIN!
I think I'm gonna make up an email... for this blog. JUST for this blog. I don't like people I don't know well to email mah personal stuffs. Or leavin' they stuff as a comment. I'd rather recieve it privately and be able to dispose of it.

That's a funny word...'dispose'...Makes me think of an old, English persnickety woman holding her nose to a little kid who brought in a dead rat. "Ugh! My dear, dispose of that wretched, disgusting lifeless creature!"
:) I have a wild imagination...In case ya didn't know.

Back to emails...

Maybe somethin' like,

verja@blabla

pinkandblackjunglebunny@blabla is too long. I tried it. :/

PABJB@...Uh...No.

I'll put it on mah sidebar when I have one. :)

I've got monkey slippers...Whai? I'll tell ya why. Cause it's COLD!!!

I thought we came to Paraguay to ESCAPE the cold? Humph...

Well, methinks I've kept ya long enough. Thanks for readin'! :)

This is something that you really don't want to do.

I'm serious! You don't want to do it.

Oh, great...See!!! I was trying to save you!!
Seriously...

Fine, fine.

Do what you want.

Moment of Silence...

Guess what that leaves me with?

A new camera
A new cellphone
A new iPod
A new iPod speaker
My own bathroom

An extra jewelry box
More jewelry
My own body-by-jake machine! WOO!

(like I'm seriously gonna use it...)

Powders and eyeliners and mascaras
All the towels I could ever want
New computer games
And a tearstreaked face.

24-7 Dishwashing duty
Right-hand helper-ness
Playmate for Anna and Shichu.

K. I'm Proud of Myself.

2009-06-02T16:54:00.000-07:00

I'm Gettin' It

2009-06-01T10:17:00.000-07:00

Okie-dokie.

I'm gonna do it.
I'm in the process of organizing my room as MONK would. (By that, I mean I'm on my lunch break, but as soon as I finish I'll be getting back to it. K?K.)
He rocks socks.
Anyways...
I've encountered and taken note of the problems that cause me to neglect keeping my room tidy.

-Laziness
-RUSH

And so on and on and on..

I've found solutions that I'm going to try.

1. I'm going to start labelling. As soon as I finish organizing today, I'll tape little ( ..tapes..? ) to shelves, drawers, etc.
Because: When I see those labels, I will not be able to handle shoving the shirts where my skirts go.
See? Anyways...I'm actually excited about it.

And as for being like Monk...He's mostly known for...

"That...that curtain there...It's...Wrinkled."

"That man...he missed a button."

"She spilled her drink... And there's a splatter..."

So basically, just teeny little things. But they make a big difference.
I'll stick tiny little tapes with stuff like,

'SHIRTS'

'SCHOOLBOOKS'

'CRAFT SUPPLIES'

'SHOES'

Etc.

What do you think? Maybe you could try it with me, even.

Plus, I like how labels look. They just...ARE organized. You know?

Other things I'm gonna work on...

Washing dishes on a whim. As in...I see them dirty, and such, and I 'can't concentrate' until they're cleaned and cleaned well.

I'll also work on being circumspect. :)

I love it.
And I'm really gonna do it.

I may need a few pushes, *MOM*, who will be happy to help.
But I will.
And I'm determined.

:)

2009-05-27T15:35:00.000-07:00

I just found something that made me laugh so hard I fell off my chair.
See that freaky dude up there? The world loves him. Apparently, according to them, he's gorgeous, beautiful, dreamy and sweet.
I wouldn't let him within 100 miles of my house...:|
At least I know I'm not a hypocrit.
Well, anyway.
What made me laugh...
Here I go.

He's not only freaky, but he's also stinky.
He forgets to shower.

He said, (after all the complaints thrown out, that got all over the Internet and magazines from his cast-members.)
"Yeah, well...See the thing is, I forget to shower. You know, I don't even realize it. You know. It's kinda funny! I just...I guess I stink, though. Oh, well. You know."

* stares at that *

* eyes bug out *

* bursts out laughing *

He-- forgets to shower? I don't think it's funny. He doesn't realize that he smells like a decomposing cow in a field of brown onions?
And why is he okay with being stinky?
Just another reason I don't want him near my house.
And yet all the girls that read that, their immediate response is:

"Oh, he's so GREEN! Awwwwww!"

I'd be like...

"WHAT? GET AWAY FROM ME YOU STINKY FREAK!"
I don't care about whales enough to stop showering.

So...
I'd like to know what on EARTH is up with today's girls?

First it was skinny twerps in tight pants, who sing like choking squirrels AKA The Jonas Brothers, and now it's sparkly, stinky vampires whose eyes turn black and red.

* shrugs *

His trademark is his stick-up straight hair.

There's a reason it's sticking up like that...
(I'll bet they don't even need to use gel or hair-spray..)

"His hair has enough grease in it to run McDonald's for a week." said the poor girl who stars alongside him..

(Let's hope he at least brushes his teeth...)

Here are some more of the complaints that made me laugh so hard I cried.

"He seriously reeks."

"He never showers, and it drives the crew crazy!" (I can't imagine why..)

And now, I think I'd ranted enough...

I hope I didn't offend anyone, but COME ON!

So...Let's run through this just one more time...

His eyes change colors.

His hair sticks straight up.

He sparkles.

He doesn't take showers.

Does THAT sound like Prince Charming to you?

OKIE-DOKIE!

2009-05-18T14:02:00.000-07:00

Christian Persecution

2009-05-15T13:51:00.000-07:00

Christians were persecuted. They either got thrown into gladiator pits and had to fight for their lives against a tiger/lion thing, or they were beaten and stoned.
How does that affect us today?
Today, people would be arrested and if anyone threw me into a pit with a jaguar, thankfully, I always carry a comb in my pocket, but as soon as I got out I'd sue them for all they had.
(The comb thing can be further explained here: :O! Click the linky!
Back in those days, when the Romans thought of it as 'entertainment' and 'justice', Christians had it rough.
They were stoned, thrown into pits, beaten to death at times...(Picture Gladiator. That pretty much covers it...)
Today, Christians are still persecuted. ... In many countries, sadly, that still happens to Christians.
But anyway, we are still persecuted in many ways.
We are made fun of. We're kicked out of our homes. We don't get privileges at times. And for what? Because we believe and talk about God. And being His children.
(There are some big meanies who don't, but...)
So, the world has calmed down a ittle bit. At least we aren't being beaten to death in football stadiums and calling it 'entertainment'.
But we are still persecuted. Missionary friends have been literally pushed and shoved out of their homes for preaching the gospel.
In other countries, they are not even allowed to SAY they are Christians. It's a 'public offense'.
Sure...
Not homos or streakers? That's MY idea of a public offense...Not Christianity.
In many schools today, Christians can't even PRAY at the lunch table, as it's offensive. A few schools I have heard about, do not even allow BIBLES.
You know...Maybe they wouldn't need metal detectors and cameras if they'd just let a few Christians speak. And maybe accepting Christ would stop a few of the attempted suicides for those who have lives that are so unhappy...?
No. Reading your Bible is the unpardonable sin, and worshiping in public can get you kicked into jail.
But running around like a freak, naked through the streets, piercings, tattoos, homosexuality, all that nastiness...It's considered, 'being themselves'. It's 'sharing their individuality'. It's 'freedom'.
Thanks...But they can keep it. I don't want anything to do with it.
You can run through the streets naked today, and get away with it, but if you read your Bible and pray you can be sued for 'force of religion/voice/example/oppinion.'
Wouldn't and SHOULDN'T that fit into the category of 'being yourself' and 'freedom'? I'd rather 'be myself' with God by my side, thanks. But there is none.
Not unless you want to tattoo and pierce every bone in your body. Just so long as you do not wear cross necklaces or get caught singing hymns and Christian songs. That, my friends, is a bad boo-boo.
So you see? We are still persecuted.
Guess who's fine with all that? Obama.
Guess who's not? God.
Guess who's gonna get it, sooner or later? Obama.
Guess who's gonna give it? God.

Thanks for listening.

Until my next post..

Facebook: FARM TOWN beta.

2009-05-04T06:22:00.000-07:00

I love it.
Mom loves it.
All my friends who have it, love it.
It's great.

I just started. It's, like, this little world where you make a little farm, personalize your farmer and spend as long as you like raking, planting, harvesting and such.
Recently, my wonderful cousin gave me a pig. I loved him, I named him Petey. And he was mine.
But then he did the weirdest thing ever. He must have been trying to make me laugh so hard that I had to run to the bathroom because when I came back, he was standing up on his hind legs and dancing some kind of Southern jig!
I. cracked. up.
But he ran away...:(
So now, I'm running around to everyone's farms and tending them, weeding, watering and harvesting everyone's farm to earn myself some coins.
No one will ever replace my little Petey, but I might recieve a few animals as gifts soon. YIPEE!

Your Body is 12 Years Old

Your body is younger than it should be. Congratulations!

You're taking good care of yourself, and it's definitely paying off.

Whether it's by accident or by choice, you're living a very healthy lifestyle.

Keep it up, and you're likely to live a long, vibrant life.

How Old Is Your Body?

You Are a Mohawk

You are a true rebel. You enjoy flaunting your nonconformity.

Your idea of style is not fitting in with the crowd. You like to look unique.

At your best, you are creative and ready to challenge the status quo.

At your worst, you are surly and stubborn. You sometimes scar people.

I Just Wrote This...

I just heard from a friend and her brother just went to be with Jesus. (He was shot. )
Please pray for her.

"Just Fight." by Jayde Vernoy

The soldier on the battle field
The one that would never yield
The one that fought till his last breath
And till' the job was done he would not rest

Now here he lay on the ground
Helpless, defenseless, listening to the sound
He knew he didn't have very long
So he wrote this song

Finish every single battle
Never stop 'till the very end
Learn every single lesson
Make just one more friend
Don't make more trouble than what's needed
For you to understand
Just fight.

Tears flowed from his eyes
As he counted what was left of time
He knew someone had spotted him
But he tried not to give in
And he prayed

Lord, I don't know what's gonna happen
If You want to see me now, just know I'm willin'
Do what you have to do
For people to live long enough to know you

Slowly he closed his eyes
Then he imagined the skies
Seeing God in all His splendor
Knowing just what he did was right
And He says to fight

So...
Finish every single battle
Never stop till the very end
Learn every single lesson
Make just one more friend
Don't make more trouble than what's needed
For you to understand
Just fight.

Hello Friends and Lurkers!

2009-04-07T16:14:00.000-07:00

I've been away.
Wanna know why?
Go here, as I am too lazy to type it out myself and my mother can do a much better job of describing such things as a wicked crazy awesome volcano thingy! :D :D
Anyway...My computer (sorta like this one), is in the shop. It went to visit the computer doctor earlier this morning.
Get this.
I have
NO GIMP
NO YAHOO MESSENGER
NO iTUNES
and
NO WINDOWS MICROSOFT OFFICE.
I don't know how much more of this I can take! I am going to DIE! :O :|

Moving on, we have found Anna. And I smell watermelon..o.O
Anyways...Anna was gone all day, we couldn't find her. We, of course, thought up the worst scenarios:
She was taken and vaporized by aliens
She was cat-napped (Which in a way...She was...She was napping when she was found.)
She was...I don't wanna keep writing. The important thing is I found her and the house is filled with happiness again.
She is sleeping with me tonight and that is final. We were worried sick! Well, me and Mom. We walked around calling her name and meowing. (Do not ask me why...)
I found her under the pool-boards that surround the pool out in the backyard. I heard her before that, and I freaked out and called Dad to go get the ladder because I heard her. At first I thought she was over in the empty lot behind our house. Then I thought she was stuck in a tree next door. Everyone was questioning me.
"Did you really hear her?"~Mom
"Are you sure?"~Dad
"Yes and yes..." I said, climbing the ladder. I looked over both walls. But I found her when I came back down. She has taken to hiding under the boards and it can drive us nuts.
As it did today.
But we found her and she has been fed Tuna and her life is back to peaches and cream. We adore our kitty.
Look at this:
BEHOLD!
How can you NOT adore her? =) She is our little sweetie here. =)
And other news...Hmm...
I have taken up drawing.
And I spent most of today cleaning my room.
And my good friend, William at William's Blog, has Photoshop 6 and maybe he will copy it and send it to me? :D :D :D PLEASE? WITH CREAM, CHOCOLATE SYRUP, STRAWBERRIES, GUMMY BEARS, PEANUTS, SPRINKLES, M&Ms and...OTHER YUMMY STUFF on top? PLEASE? <=-D
I am off now, to go and read Skittle's blog now. =)
...I'm sorry...But I can't think of anything else to blog.
Forgive me.

Anyways...I'm back.
That should be reward enough...tehehe...=D
Love,
Verja

PACE YAW! xD No, not that either.

For now, I must start school.

The Olympics, Miss Persia

2009-03-30T06:24:00.000-07:00

The Olympics is one of today's greatest athletic events. The Olympics games began thousands of years ago in Greece as part of Greek worship services. The Greeks believe the gods and godesses liked to see healthy bodies and athletic skills.
So, every four years the best athletes competed in racing, boxing, wrestling, discus and javelin. At the start of the games, they honored Zeus, the king of their gods.
An Olympic winner recieved no money.
The winner of each sports event was given a crown of laurel leaves. Winning the Olympics was considered the highest honor a man could earn. When Greece fell, the Olympic games were discontinued.
Then in 1896 they were renewed. This time, however, the worship of Greek gods was no longer a part of the competition.
Athletes competed for the honor of their country.
Today, of course, the Olympic games are telecast all over the world for people of every nation to see.
~*~ (wipes sweat from forehead)

During the rule of King Xerxes in ancient Persia, there was a beauty pageant much like today's Miss Universe and Miss America contests.
After divorcing his wife for disobeying him, Xerxes wanted to select a new queen. He held a Miss Persia contest in which all the most beautiful girls in the Persian Empire entered. The winner, the lovely Hebrew girl, Esther, married Xerxes and became queen of Persia.
Then, as told by the Veggie tales,
She saved herself and all the other Hebrews from being sent to the dreaded Isle of Perpetual Tickling for eternity.
This is recorded in the book of Esther. I'm sure it wasn't really the Isle of Perpetual Tickling...Probably something much worse.
In the VT movie, a grim reaper dude comes through the palace doors carrying and waving a feather while tickling the Peoni brothers and leading them to the Isle of Tickling.
Its a great movie. Makes me laugh like something crazy. :D

Alexander the Awesome

2009-03-27T09:37:00.000-07:00

A towering figure of ancient Greek history, Alexander the Great is said to have come close to conquering the civilized world. The son of King Phillip II of Macedon, Alexander was educated by the philosopher Aristotle and first led troops at age 18. After his father's death he whipped the superpower Persians and conquered much of the civilized world. He died suddenly at age 33 after a bout of heavy drinking; some suggest he was poisoned, though no cause of death has ever been proved.

Alexander's favorite horse Bucephalus one of history's famous steeds.

~*~

Xerxes' only had two wives that I could think of or google...:D Esther and Vashti. They can be found in the Bible..:)

CLASSICAL GREECE AND HELLENIZATION

While the Assyrians, Babylonians and Persians took turns dominating the Mesopotamian area, a new civilization was developing in the area now known as Greece. This culture has little influence on nearby civilizations, however, until a Macedonian military general named Alexander (OO-RAH! xD) united the Greeks.

GREEK CITY STATES COLONIES

The land of Greece, divided by rugged mountain ranges, was slow to develop a single, unified government.
Life was competitive between Athens, Sparta and Corinth.
As a result, when threatened by invaders, the Greeks found it difficult to face the common enemy.

Ta da...Hope you enjoyed it...I sure didn't.

Buddha's Rules

2009-03-20T08:06:00.000-07:00

1. A person's life is full of misery and suffering.

2. Sufferings are caused by a person's own selfish desires.

3. Sufferings end when a person completely overcomes his desires and gets rid of all jealousy, greed and selfishness.

4. Nirvana can be achieved by right living.

What a boring way to live! Imagine.

"I'm sorry.. It was my pri--"
"SELFISHNESS."
"Yes. That."

wooow...

The Amazon Women

2009-03-16T10:06:00.000-07:00

The Amazons are a nation of all-female warriors in Classical and Greek mythology, who were quite possibly historical.

Stories of beautiful and bloodthirsty female warrior women thundering across arid battlefields have been told, re-told and speculated over for thousands of years and by many cultures. Greek myths are filled with tales of the Amazons and their exploits, love affairs and battles with

Olympian gods like Zeus, Ares and Hera. Amazon warriors fought and died in the Trojan war. Homer and Hippocrates speculated over or wrote of these fierce fighting women, as did Greek historian Herodotus. The West African kingdom of Dahomey employed a legion of so-called Amazons who conquered cities for King Agaja during the 1600’s. Spanish adventurer, Francisco de Orellana, is said to have named South America’s greatest river, the Amazon, after a fierce tribe of warrior women he encountered along its banks.

Greek mythology describes the Amazons as descendants of the god of war, Ares, and the sea nymph, Harmonia. They worshipped Artemis, goddess of the hunt and exactly where the Amazons territory was has always been disputed. Herodotus believed they may have occupied the sweeping steppes of Southern Russia. Other stories claim they lived in Thrace or along the lower Caucasus Mountains in northern Albania. The Thermodon River, in Asia Minor, known today as the coast of Turkey, seems to be the most frequently mentioned territory of the Amazons.

Amazon society was stringently matriarchal. Males were of no use other than for mating purposes and as slaves, doing work that was traditionally performed by women. Mens’ outer extremities were often mutilated to prevent them taking up arms against their captors or escaping. Male babies were either given away at birth to neighbouring tribes or killed.

From an early age Amazons were trained in the arts of war. Some myths and stories say that during adolescence a young Amazon’s right breast would be cauterised or entirely removed by her mother so that once the girl reached adulthood she could wield bows and throw javelins more accurately. Experts disagree, claiming that the Amazons would not have had the medical know how to prevent massive haemorrhage or infection if such drastic mutilations actually occurred.

The Amazons were said to be the first humans to tame and ride horses. They were fearless and expert warriors, on horseback or as foot soldiers, and the Greeks fiercest enemies. They dedicated themselves to endless hours of training in the art of combat, their favored weapons, bows, spears and doubled-sided battle axes.

One of the most enduring Greek Amazon myths tells of King Eurytheseus dispatching Hercules to steal Queen Hippolyte’s golden girdle, a gift from Ares. Rather than attacking the army standing outside their city, the Amazons showed curiosity and welcomed them. Hippolyte and Hercules fell in love. Jealous goddess Juno spread lies about the Greeks ulterior motive to kidnap the Amazon queen and hold her for ransom. A bloody battle ensued and there were great losses on both sides, Hercules eventually victorious and returning to Greece with Hippolyte’s girdle.

Yet despite such tales and myths very little concrete archaeological evidence has ever been unearthed to prove that a race of Amazons actually existed. Most stories about them have been dismissed as pure conjecture or wishful thinking, including Herodotus’s writings of Amazons in Russia and their possible connection with the ancient Scythian race. Recent excavations by Russian archaeologists, however, have produced new evidence that suggests Herodotus may have been right.

The Scythians were a race of mounted nomadic warriors whose early origins are still a mystery and who lived in Central Asia around the 7-8th centuries BC. Their generals were said to be more cunning military tacticians than Genghis Khan, who, centuries later conquered half the world. Yet the Scythians were illiterate, they left no language and history, other than their large round burial mounds, or kurgans, plundered ruins that are found all over the Russian steppes. Russian archaeologists have found some kurgans that are still intact, a few of them containing the remains of what they believe were Scythian royalty or aristocrats. These tombs also contained a breathtaking array of golden artefacts: jewellery, chalices, weapons, breastplates and other finely crafted masterpieces depicting Scythian life.

Herodotus wrote of the Scythians as being an extremely barbaric and bloodthirsty race,skinning and beheading slain adversaries and shaping their skulls into drinking cups. Funerals were highly ceremonial and even more blood-drenched. A fallen warrior’s wife and entire household were often killed and placed inside the kurgan to serve in the afterlife. Dozens of the finest horses were sacrificed and staked upright around the outside of the burial mound.

New burial mounds recently opened outside the town of Pokrovka contained the remains of women, some thought to be of great station. They were buried in full battle dress and with a assortment of weapons and other items of war lying beside them. One young woman’s leg bones were signifi

cantly bowed suggesting she spent most of her life on horseback. Another skeleton had an arrowhead lodged in the upper chest, indicating she might have died in battle.

This startling evidence seems to confirm Herodotus’s early theories that certain cultures held women in higher esteem, some even riding alongside men into battle. Other mysterious burial sites have also been recently unearthed in China dating back 2000 years or more, the remains and artefacts suggesting that within other extinct cultures women may have held powerful social and perhaps even military positions as well. Whether any of these long-dead women found in the Pokrovka kurgans or in other recent digs could actually be the mythical Amazons of Greek legend has yet to be confirmed - or may never be proven. For the foreseeable future, research and speculation continues.

What I Have Learned

2009-03-12T04:35:00.000-07:00

I hope that you will all take my word for it and not try this and have to learn it yourself.
Feel free to laugh, as I already have.

Things I Have Been Told To Never Do...AFTER I've Done Them... (And the date I learned them. I went to my diary and checked the dates. I knew I could trust it, because I always write when I'm scared, upset, feel awful. Some are too old, though. :)

1. Don't flush a toothbrush down a toilet. It clogs it up. 6/14/08

2. Don't stab a refrigerator to death with a knife. 3/11/09

3. Carry a $200 DVD player in the hallway and not watch where you're going. Destiny says you will trip on the thin rug. 3/11/09

4. Let people see you cry. 1/5/08

5. Tighten your earrings so much because you're afraid they'll fall out. So tight that they will go inside your ear and have to be removed with Dad's leather-man. (Ski Trip of...97?)

PLEASE learn from me.
Any more, you can be sure that I will update this post.

Hurry up and Wait!

2009-03-08T10:28:00.000-07:00

This daylight savings stuff is driving me nuts. We almost left for Bible Study an hour early.
NO WONDER my friend was like, going crazy! :)

I haven't blogged blogged in forever. Lately it has just been school stuff...I know.
* dodges tomatoes *
About the Seven Wonders and the Indian beliefs...I sorry. :)

Nothing very new here. It rained today, so we didn't get to play soccer like I wanted. Grr.
I was sooo mad! But, we left. And then we got to baby sit a special needs boy, Elena, Abby and a sweet 11-year-old girl.
The special needs boy is such a sweetheart. :) And he laughs at my jokes. YAY! No, really. I can't see how people can tease and be afraid of special need kids... They're weak in some points, but wicked crazy awesome strong in others! :) For example, he's the most patient kid I've ever seen! I must learn from him.
* stares at Abel and takes notes *
:P

I have nothing really, to write about.
OH! I can say 'how are you?', 'I am very cold', 'What is your name?', 'Dad', 'Mom', 'My friend', 'Good' and 'No way' in Guarani! :) The girl taught me. :) And everyone says I have a nice tone. :) But, honestly, Guarani isn't that hard for me or my dad, because Ye'kwana is very very similar to Guarani. And we already know Ye'kwana.

Mom made Taco Soup today. And we have been having it all day...It is SO good! She got it from the crock-pot lady. :)

I have more school tomorrow, so I have to skeedaddle. :(

I know I know...

Oh, not the puppy faces!

I'll miss you all, too.

Bye!

The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World

2009-02-27T06:15:00.000-08:00

I just love Fridays. For three reasons:

1. I get to do all my writing assignments and projects, tests and such, and those are very quick.
2. IHeartFaces has Fix It Friday that gives me something to work on while I'm bored after school.
3. Tonight I am working on my solo with the choir! Nervous, but ...EXCITED!

Anywhoozins. Here is my report on the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. I will do all in my goofy and funny power to make this as enjoyable as possible.
~*~

THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA:

This pyramid is the oldest of the Ancient wonders, and the only one that has lasted until today. It was built with nearly 2 million bricks, each weighing approximately two tons...Imagine hefting those about!
The person who yelled at people to make it was the Egyptian pharaoh Khufu, who wanted it as a tomb when he died, around 2560. B.C.
Methinks Khufu was a little kookoo. What about you-you?
I mean, honestly, I wouldn't wanna be put to rest in a huge, freaky temple. A coffin is fine for me, thanks.
When it was built, the Great Pyramid was 481 feet high, over the years, it lost 30 feet off the top.
It was ranked as the tallest structure for 43 centuries.
Popular structure.
...

THE HANGING GARDENS OF BABYLON:

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were built by Nebuchadnezzar II, around 600 B.C. It is said that he had them constructed to please his wife...
Maan! Imagine.
"I am upset."
"Why are you upset, my wife?"
"I have nothing beautiful to look at."
* calls second hand man *"Make my wife a hanging garden."
"WHAT?!"
"Do it."
"O-o-okay...Um...How big, sire?"
"BIG."
"Uh...Okay."
AWESOME!
His wife, Amytis of Media, was from Persia, and Persia was beautiful. Who knows? Maybe he made it to look like Persia, her homeland.
~*~

STATUE OF ZEUS AT OLYMPIA:

Well, this little dude..Well...He's not very little. Some 39 feet tall.
A recent critic said,
"It seems that if this Zeus were to stand up, he would unroof the temple made to house him."
YOU DON'T SAY??????
The statue was created by Phidias. Kudos, Phidias.
In the sculpture, he was wreathed with shoots of olive and seated on a magnificent throne of cedarwood, inlaid with ivory, gold and precious stones. INCLUDING: Jade stones. ( xD YEAH! )
In Zeus' right hand, a small statue of crowned Nike, goddess of victory, (so THAT'S where the shoes get the name!), also chryselephantine, and in his left hand a scepter inlaid with metals on which an eagle perched on the top.
~*~

THE TEMPLE OF DIANA:

A temple dedicated to Artemis, around 550 B.C at Ephesus. Nothing remains of the temple.
So that is all we know of it.
Pretty exciting, huh? Wanna see somethin' awesome? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Artemis_Efes_Museum.JPG
~*~

THE TOMB OF MAUSSOLLUS:

The tomb of maussollus was a tomb built between 353 and 350 B.C. Approximately, 135 feet in height.
It was designed by Greek architects, Satyros and Pythus. It now lays in ruins, but it's pretty sweet...:)
~*~

THE COLOSSUS OF RHODES:

The colossus of Rhodes was a statue of the Greek god, Helios, erected on the Greek island of Rhodes by Charles of Lindos between 292 and 280 B.C.
Before it's destruction, it stood over 107 feet high, making it one of the tallest statues in the ancient world.
Media reports in 1989 initially suggested that large stones found on the seabed off the coast of Rhodes have been the remains of the colossus, but that has been proved to NOT be true. :P :)
The statue was made of bronze, and could not have been built with it's legs apart, because it would collapse from it's own weight.
Heavy dude.
Ancient accounts describe the statue as being built with iron tie bars. Much of the iron and bronze in it was reforged from the various weapons Demetrius' battle left behind.
SO THAT is where all this recycling stuff started.
~*~

THE LIGHTHOUSE OF ALEXANDRIA:

This lighthouse was a tower built in the 3rd century B.C on the island of Pharos in Alexandria, Egypt to serve as the port's landmark, and later, a lighthouse.
Probably why they call it the lighthouse now. That would just be boring. 'THE LANDMARK OF ALEXANDRIA', Ooh! So exciting! Such oral interest...:P I'd love to read THAT school report.
It was about 380 to 490 feet. People are still arguing about it.
It was among the tallest-man-made structures for a while.
~*~

And there now...

WAKE UP!

* jumps through screen and pours water on you *

I'm DONE! You can get on with your life now!
WAKEY WAKEY!

C'mon!!! I tried not to be too boring...

* sigh *

School Report on The Beginnings of Life According to Ancient Cultures!

2009-02-20T06:37:00.000-08:00

I chose Guarani, Ye'Kwana and Cherokee I wanted to do Indians, because 1. I'm part Cherokee. I wanted to bring back the Ye'Kwana, because I love them. and 3. I am surrounded by Guarani-speakers. My mission is to find whether they support evolution or creationism, and to find similarities. I searched the Google for Guarani and Cherokee, but Dad and Jewel were more than helpful for the Ye'Kwana version.
I am MONK, so I'll do alphabetical order.
Cherokee 'tis.
NOTE: I stole this from a website. :)

Cherokee belief ( This supports Creationism.)

The earth was a great island floating in a sea of water, suspended by a cord at each of the four cardinal points, hanging down from the sky vault, which is solid rock. When the world grows old and worn out, the people will die, the cords will break and the earth will sink back into the ocean and all will be water again. The Indians fear this.

Origin of Animals

In the Beginning

When all was water, the animals were above, beyond the arch, in Galunlati. It was very crowded and they wanted more room. They wondered what was below the water and "Beaver's Grandchild", the water beetle, offered to go and learn. It darted in all directions across the water's surface but could not find a firm place to rest. Then it dove to the bottom and returned with some soft mud, which began to grow and spread on every side until it became the island we call earth. Afterward it was fastened to the sky with four cords but no one remembers this.

Native American Waterbird Symbol

Buzzard

Creation of Mountains and Valleys

At first, the earth was flat, very soft and wet. The animals were anxious to get down so they sent different birds to see if it was dry but they found no place to alight and returned to Galunlati. When it seemed to be time, they sent out the Buzzard, telling him to go and make ready for them. It was known as the Great Buzzard, father of all buzzards we see now. He flew all over the earth, close to the ground but it was still soft. By the time he reached Cherokee country, he was very tired. His wings began to flap and strike the ground. Wherever they struck the earth, there was a valley and where they turned up again there was a mountain. When the animals above saw this, they were afraid that the whole world would be mountains and called him back. The Cherokee country remains full of mountains even today.

Sun symbol

Creation of Light

When the earth was dry, the animals came down. It was still dark, so they got the sun and set it in a track to go across the island east to west every day. It was too hot this way and the Red Crawfish had his shell scorched to a bright red and it spoiled the meat. The Cherokee do not eat it.

The conjurers raised the sun again and again seven times until it was right and left it there. Every day the sun goes along this arch and returns at night to the starting place.

The Underground World

There is another world under this arch, much like ours in everything...plants, animals and people, except the seasons are different. The streams that come down from the mountains are the trails used to read this underworld. The springs at their heads are the doorways in which it is entered. In order to do this, one must fast, go to the water and have one of the underground people guide them through. We know that the seasons in the underworld are different because the water in the springs is always warmer in the winter and colder in the summer than the outer air.

Owl

Panther

Cedar

Holly

Laurel

Seven Nights Watch

When the plants and animals were first made ( we do not know by whom) they were told to watch and keep awake for seven nights. In the same sense, young men now fast and keep awake when they pray to their medicine. They tried to do this and nearly all were awake the first night but the second night several drifted off to sleep. The third night more slept and then more until by the seventh night, of all the animals, only the owl, the panther and one or two more were still awake. These animals that remained awake were given the power to see in the dark and to make prey of the birds and animals which must sleep at night.

Of the trees, only the cedar, pine, holly, spruce and the laurel were awake to the end. For their endurance, they were given the power to be always green and to be the greatest for medicine. To the others it was said, "Because you have not endured to the end you shall lose your hair in the winter".

Adoption of the Human Race

The primary figure in most Guaraní creation legends is Tupa, the supreme god of all creation. With the help of the moon goddess Arasy, Tupa descended upon the Earth in a location specified as a hill in the region of Aregúa, Paraguay, and from that location created all that is found upon the face of the earth, including the ocean, forests, and the animals. It is also said that the stars were placed in the sky at this point.

Tupã then created humanity (according to most Guaraní myths, the Guaraní were naturally the first race of people to be made, with every other civilization being born from it) in an elaborate ceremony, forming clay statues of man and woman with a mixture of various elements from nature. After breathing life into the human forms, he left them with the spirits of good and evil and departed.

Pretty sweet, eh?

And Ye'Kwana. This one was very interesting to me. I'm gonna wing it, because it is so long, I might get a few wrong...But...Dad barely remembered it. So...Here goes.

I think... With a funny, modern twist. ;)

Wanaadi, the Ye'Kwana god was lonely, so he made a woman. He fell in love with her, but she kept running away. He chased her and she still got away. He tried making more women, but loved none of them as much and they ran away too. He was sad, and decided to turn into a sloth and look for her. ( Why a sloth, I don't know.) He was shot by a hunter who took him to an old lady's house... She knew who he was.
"You are Wanaadi. I know you. You created me."
"Yes." Said the sloth. "What's crackalackin'?"
"I left you and fell in love with a man but he beats me and is not good to me."
So the sloth took the old lady back to the jungle and tried and tried to turn her back to the beautiful woman that she had once been but he couldn't. So...He...burned her. And hung her up in a tree in a caccoon thingamajiggy.
He left her there for a few days and then called all of the animals of the jungle. They came in a hurry.
"Cut her down!" He demanded.
The monkey went up and couldn't stop laughing, so he was cursed.
Same with a great bunch of all the others...( I dunno... If I saw a rotting corpse I probably wouldn't laugh. I'd be shakin' in my tubesocks.)
The one animal that could, was the lizard. He went up, ( held is giggles in, I guess...0.o) and bit the rope so that she fell.
He was blessed with a tail that shoots. ( Oh, joy of joys!)

The creation story is very short.

Wanaadi made a mountain that looked like a tree. And ...somehow...we don't remember...People were...created from that tree. As the times wore on, the people cut down the top of the tree and that cut off communication with Wanaadi.

I hope you enjoyed this. I sure did.
I think it's safe to say that they support Creationism.

GOOD. FOR. THEM!

ATTACK OF THE HEAVY HIGH SCHOOL BOOKS!!

2009-02-18T06:24:00.000-08:00

I have started school.
Which means I will have more stuff to blog about. WOO!
But also means I won't spend quite as much time on the computer.
* boo *
I know, I know...

The books are huge. I'm annoyed at them. But the Science guy is funny! And none of them are uberly boring.
I now realize why Mom chose A.C.E for furlough...Imagine carrying those bricks around everywhere?
ME:"Mom, where's the A.C.E stuff?"
MOM:"I used those for furlough."
ME:"Why?"
MOM:"Cause the big ones are hard to pack and carry around. We wouldn't have been able to carry them around everywhere we went."
ME:* mutters * "Ah, yes. What a shame, what a tragedy..."
MOM:* giggles * "Get in there and get started!"

XD
No, now I really am overjoyed that I have school. I can't believe I said that... But during break I've been terribly bored. Now it's back and I'm determined.

And now I'd best return to my stuffs. :)

Something I Find Funny...

2009-02-13T07:05:00.001-08:00

For the few, the proud, the HOMESCHOOLED.

You know when you look at the back of your big, fat books and see the recommendations? And the sappy stories on how they helped the struggling pupils?

I find them hilarious.
:D

"This book truly opened my daughter's eyes!"--Gail Brood, Ohio.
( Uh-huh...She couldn't open them before?)

"This was a true bonding tool between me and my son. And it really has helped him."--Jill Black, South Carolina.
( Try playing video games with him. :)

"We have tried at least 3 different books, at least 3 different times, and this is the only one that worked!"--Marla Hew, Florida.
( Have you tried 3 different 'looks'?)

Imagine...
If they let the KIDS recommend the books. :)

I hate history even more now.--Kayla Ridge, Kansas.

I used this to put me to sleep, it was so boring! Forget about soft songs... This worked like a charm.--Matt Peterson, Maine.

This is awful! It takes sooo long!--Katie Henry, Tennessee.

My eyes have been opened, and I have now closed them. I hate it.--Gina Tuck, Oregon.

I hope I put a smile on your face! :)

My rant is through.

I Need To Rant...

2009-02-11T15:10:00.000-08:00

WHAT IS UP WITH TWILIGHT?

I have no idea what on Earth it is. Everyone on Facebook is sending me Flairs and invites to join a club with the display picture of this creepy vampire dude and I'm sick of it! And somewhat scared. People have changed their profile names to like, I ♥ Edward or whatever his name is. I don't pay attention.
Everyone is saying,
"Oh, he's so gorgeous! The movies are fantastic!" Yada...yada, yada... I would rather not join that group, thanks. It's gonna give me nightmares!
Everyone is emailing me and saying I'm judgmental. I don't care. Twilight is creepy. At least to me.
I have been receiving numerous bumper stickers that say that I like it. WHO is this person to say that I like a group that gives me the heebie-jeebies? How does this person KNOW I like it?
One bumper sticker said:

McCain ( square ) Obama ( square ) Edward ( checked square ).
WHY would I pick him? I'm beginning to think he's worse than Obama! In the profile picture, he looks like a freaky zombie!

Hmm...

Then again...Maybe not. But...Obama supports abortion and Edward supports...Uhm...Drinking people's blood.
HELLO!
I'm scared.
What has America come to?

0.o

My rant is finished. Thank you for your cooperation.

Why did I have coffee? Cause I had a muffin leftover from Mom's blogger tea-party yesterday...I missed meeting Mrs. Wienz...I sad.

I hate spoiling things. Today I had glop for breakfast. It sounds terribly disgusting, I know, but MKs in the Amazon grew up with it and I hadn't made it in forever, so...I made it.

Here is the recipe:

Oatmeal
Milk
Chocolate powder

Mix it altogether until it's the way you want it. Voila. You are now eating Amazon MK food!

* claps for you *

I found my tripod. YAY!
It was lodged between the wall and the shelf in the kitchen.

Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head...

2009-01-28T13:38:00.000-08:00

If I step outside, that is.

It's been stormy and rainy and wonderful all day. :)

Due To Popular Demand...

2009-01-27T08:37:00.000-08:00

I have returned.
Camp was the bomb. Except for one small thing...But I won't say that over internet. I only tell those I trust, and they already know about it...So I don't need to spray it anywhere else.
I slept 18 hours when I got back. WOOHOO!
I got GREAT pictures at camp while I was away.
I've mastered BibleWorks CD!! WOOOO!!!
Anyways... It's nice and cool now. There is a bit of a storm outside...It's been nice lately.
I'm gonna make myself a little deal. Since I wake up early anyway, thanks to Anna...I wake up at about 5. Used to be 4, but... Yeah.
Did anyone check out Mom's blog yet? Creepy spider...Yucky.
I don't have anything else to blog...What do you want me to blog about?

What I've Been Up To...

2009-01-13T04:57:00.000-08:00

1. Had fun with power outages and laser pens with Anna.

2. Sewed Anna a little pillow for her bed.

3. Found a basket for her to sleep in. :)

I HAVE RETURNED!

2009-01-06T04:33:00.000-08:00

:)

I'm back. I had to take some time off to think about some things, RE-think about some things, change some things, see all that I SHOULD do and all that I COULD do. But I am back now. I haven't died, and I didn't inherit an island and vacation, leaving you all in sadness.

Meanwhile, here is what has happened:

1. I've made a commitment to have terere every afternoon, in an effort to blend with the culture. :)

2. I have taken up sewing, and have fixed my bedspread! (Anna claws and climbs on it.) So it's all better and pretty now!

3. Dad got me a beanbag!

4. I have become Monk. I keep everything organized and I straighten and tidy things on a whim. YAY!

5. I started reading the Royal Diaries.

The Royal Diaries!! I have 4. 1. Cleopatra VII. 2. Anastasia. 3. Queen Victoria. 4. Queen Elizabeth. The creepiest one was Anastasia's. The last page is the same night the family was kidnapped.
Here is how it goes:

I could not sleep, so I sit here writing this at a very late hour.
My chamber is dark, but I've a small candle to my left which allows me to read and write as I please.
As soon as I've written this, I shall try to get back to sleep.
Wait. I hear someone in the hallway. Perhaps I am not the only one awake.
Oh, dear. It's--*ink splot*, *wrinkled page *

CONCLUSION: She was taken before she could finish, and she dropped the book on the floor on her way out.

You can imagine the chills I got when I read that. I turned the page and that was the end. The very last entry of her diary wasn't even finished.
Her life and what happened to her and her family intrigues me. I started writing a story once, about a girl from today who goes back and rescues the family. :) I have to find that.

Isn't it creepy, though? Gave me the goosebumps.

0.o ...O.0...0.o...

My beanbag is gorgeous. So is my terere kit!! I love it.

There are some things you should know about terere.
Many people avoid it because it looks like dead grass. They judge the book by it's cover. ;)

The first few sips are awful. Bitter and nasty, but as soon as you clear out the loose herb it's a delicious, minty, cold drink.

Paraguayans never drink it with meals. It's made for hot afternoons.

:)

I will take pictures of my terere kit AND my beanbag soon. Just chill.
BACK!! BACK, YOU ANIMALS! * imitates whip cracking *

:)

Bye!

2008-12-13T03:51:00.000-08:00

I'm back from Argentina. Anna was not willing to let me go. She climbed in my suitcase and wouldn't get out.
When we got back around 7, I was still super wide awake, even if I only slept on the bus for three hours.
I waddled around my room unpacking while everyone else slept. Or rather, lay dead to the world. I'm hyper. I stayed in my room and wrapped gifts and I did my annual Christmas Clean-out.
I like the idea of a Christmas clean-out, because it gives you more room for your gifts later on...:)
Everyone finally woke up, around 1, so we had a late LATE LATE breakfast and watched Honeymooners.
I fell asleep during that (notice: I'd been awake ten hours straight). I went to bed and woke right back up at 7 PM. Anna slept right beside me, purring. She missed us all. I could tell.
We all watched Kung Fu Panda, which we'd bought at WAL-MART.
After it, I was still super hyper and it was Friday night, soo...
I got on the computer and chatted with Randomizer... Until about 12. Then I got off and read until I fell asleep. Took me about five hours to fall asleep. NOT kidding.
Now, on to Argentina.
I bought lots of gifts and WAL-MART was fantastic. I found lots of stuff.
My Christmas List for those who don't read my blog:

McCja-___________________ and _________
Verje- a dangly keychain and a black fedora hat.®
Mom-_____________________ and _______________
Dad-_____________________ and a ____________
McCel- a princess dress-up set and little ponytail holders with ladybugs on them.
McCab-a Little People® 3-people play set for her dollhouse she'll be getting, and a pink purse because she likes purses.
friends:
Romta-a pretty star ring
Turan-address booklet with a cute cartoon on the front. she'll love it.
Belen-earrings
Claudia-__________________

:)

ANYONE WHO DARES TO SPILL THE BEANS WILL BE FORCIBLY BLOCKED FROM READING MY BLOG. Is that UNDERSTOOD!?

Good. :D

Argentina was great. Wal-Mart was great. The bus-ride...ehm...not so much, but, WOO!

And it was nice coming home and seeing Anna Banana run up to us, purr and hug us. :)
Maybe on Monday I can go get my new glasses! YEEP!

And, I just need to gloat a little bit...

WE GOT KUNG FU PANDA!

BYE!

O, CHRISTMAS TREE, O CHRISTMAS TREE, HOW NAKED ARE YOUR BRANCHES!

2008-12-01T15:14:00.000-08:00

I'm upset.
The tradition has flopped.
We always, ALWAYS, A-L-W-A-Y-S have the tree decorated and set up all in one day. This year, we were stopped.
We have no 2-20 Christmas-tree lights.
Nobody wanted to go out and buy some.
So we couldn't.
Now the tree sits in the living-room, clear of any decorations. Gone. No ornaments. No lights. No Santa boots under the tree.
Why?
I'm still wondering myself. I know I sound sort of crabby, but I hate breaking traditions! So sue me!
I don't care...
BAH HUMBUG!

But I have good news. Dad says we will continue work on the tree tomorrow...I'm just sad...I was so looking forward to laying under the tree, and looking up at all the pretty, shiny ornaments and lights.
Even when I'm an adult I'll still do that.
I guess I'm bummed...
I just can't wait for tomorrow! We will resume the fun!! WOO!
I'm going to decorate my bedroom. I will make little paper cones and decorate them to look like mini-trees.
I have named the geckos in the bathroom! HURRAH! With the help of Netsirk, they are now called Marina and Marlow.
WOO!
Also. Anyone who has a Santa hat, LISTEN UP!
I have created a tradition. I wear my Santa hat all December long. All day, every day. UNLESS WE GO PLACES.
Please join me. It's lots of fun!
:)
Now, I had best be going. Check this out:

bye bye!

Black Friday

2008-11-28T14:48:00.001-08:00

It is time.
Black Friday was today. Sales. Sales everywhere. Gift wrap, gifts, stores were screaming my name. Thanksgiving was wonderful, but it is now time to prepare for Christmas.
I did some MAJOR shopping today. I bought little lady bug clips for McCel, a little pink purse for McCab, a black bangle bracelet for Lenma, a _____ for McCja, ______ for Mom, and a _____ for Verje. I have yet to buy Daddy something. But I know exactly what I'm gettin' him.
If anyone dares to enter my room tonight they will wish they were never born. NOBODY comes in my room anywhere near Christmas! Why? I'll tell you why.
Because I'm wrapping presents and I hate it when someone finds out what they are before Christmas, that's why!
I bought some pretty purple wrapping paper and silver wrapping paper to wrap my gifts. That way everyone knows they're from me.
I was browsing like crazy today. I had so much fun! I now know the true meaning of shop-til-you-drop, because I'm exhausted. But I will NOT rest until all of my presents are wrapped up and hidden away. Only then can I rest.
Verje is a snoop. Daddy would find out. In fact, I still have YET to buy him something. I know exactly where it is, though. And how much it is. And I shall buy it, because I know he'll love it.
I was about to spend the money I was given for today, all on me, to buy myself a pretty termo as soon as I bought everyone else stuff.
Then I realized that out of all times of the year, Christmas is the LEAST great a time to think of yourself.
So I bought everyone something. And, sure, I don't have the pretty termo I wanted. I'll survive. I've made a commitment. I will give more than I get this year. That's what Jesus intended.
I'm going to make everyone GIMP creations, too.
NO ONE COME IN MY ROOM.
STAY OUT.
I'm going to make a sign for my door.
I think I'm going to make some decorations for my room. Wouldn't that be neat? I know how to make paper snowflakes, and I have lots of nice candles, and a little fat snowman named Fred, and a bunch of ribbon. I shall.
Email me if you want to know what I got everyone. I feel a bit sad about Mom's gift, because..I don't feel it's all that special as the others are. But I know she'll love it. And maybe I'll find something at the last minute.
Now I'm off before Verje peeks in my room and sees the mess of tape, bows, ribbon and wrapping paper!

Bye!

Yesterday..

2008-11-28T05:24:00.000-08:00

How was everyone else's Thanksgiving?

I will get to the good part. We had fun. And food. We had:
-pecan pie
-apple pie
-pumpkin pie
-mashed potatoes
-cranberry sauce
-bread rolls
-turkey
-stuffing
-gravy
-green beans
-marshmallow banana pudding

Let me just say..It was delicious.
We all took pictures of everything, well, me and McCja did, I charged Chloe the entire night before because I knew I'd be taking lots of pictures, and McCja charged Nikki, her camera.
(Nikon).
I took plenty of pictures. Then I entertained 6 kids out in the pool. 6. But, I'm a natural entertainer because I am like my father, who is also an entertainer. We both like to talk, we're both crazy and funny and we like to be the center of attention. :D
I got a sunburn, and also, a pool sinker hoop tossed between my right eye and my nose. I can still feel where it hit. I'm just glad it didn't turn purple. I did what my father would have done. The little kid threw the hoop, so I made a big deal out of it, slunk over to the corner holding my nose as if I were in great pain. For the first 25 seconds, I was, but I just slunked over, and heard all this:
"Joel! That's enough!"
"Go inside!"
"BE CAREFUL!"
At that last one, I peeked out from behind my hand and looked at everyone as if I were about to cry.
"GOTCHA!" I screamed, and we played volleyball again. I made up two games on the spot, and they were really fun. Or so the kids thought.
1. Noodle wars.. Separate into teams and beat the tar out of the everyone with your eyes closed!
2. Snake. (It's great with lots and lots of people!) Everyone except ONE brave little soul is lined up with their eyes closed. All linked together, they have to chase the little brave one! Whoever touches 'it', gets to be alone and brave next.
It was fun! Then we all stood around on the patio as we dried off, and we sang Sound of Music songs. And Christmas songs.
We have to have that family back over, because they are a riot!
And then of course, I didn't get seconds because of course, 'it's not polite' mleh mleh, so as soon as everyone else left, I got the seconds I wanted. =)
I hope you all had an awesome Thanksgiving!

So, I hope you had a great GLUTTON DAY!

SO, LATE:

HAPPY GLUTTON DAY!

:) Please let me know how YOURS went!

Thankful For A Day To Be Thankful For Things We Need To Be Thankful For

2008-11-27T03:31:00.000-08:00

Alright.
We all know the stereotypical meaning of today. Long ago some old people shared loads of nummy food. But what is the real meaning?
To stuff our faces with mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, pecan and apple pie, green beans and pumpkin rolls.
Let's put aside all that. What things are you truly thankful for? Today is Thanksgiving. So give thanks!

I'm thankful for all this food that we're so blessed to have, when people on the other side of the world haven't seen a crumb for months.
I'm thankful for a nice house when people in Venezuela and other countries are living on the street.
I'm thankful for my family and my friends, who are always there when I need them.
I'm thankful for everything that God has so graciously given me.

What about you?
What are you thankful for?

This Is FUNNY.

2008-11-26T05:46:00.000-08:00

(A video, but I don't remember the link or how I found it. Sorries!)

Picture This.

A Christmas play. Behind the curtain are a bunch of extremely nervous kids. One of which is a little girl, about 7 years old. Another one is a little 4 year old, dressed in a little white star outfit. He looks really nervous, as if he might faint.
Onstage now, are the shepherds, making food together with their flocks. 'The First Noel' is playing form a CD Player in the background.
The little 7 year old girl is the narrator. She is pushed through the curtains by the producer. She stands there, turning white with nervousness. She clutches the microphone. Shaking, she brings it to her mouth, and yells,
"THE STAR CHASED THE SHEPHERDS!" then runs behind the curtains. The shepherds are still a bit shocked at the narrator's words, but they continue their cooking.
The cue for the star to come out, is the ending of the song.
The little star is told to do exactly what the narrator says the star is to do.
The shepherds are watching the area where the star is supposed to dangle from. Instead, the little star sneaks up behind the shepherds.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" He screams and chases the shepherds who are now running for their life.
They aren't acting. They expected the little star to hang from the curtain and sing a song to to them, not scare them half out of their skulls.
So, now we have a bunch of little kids with fake beards taped to their chins, yelling and screaming and running from a yelling, screaming little star.
The star corners them behind the 'stable' and hollers at the top of his lungs,
"GO SEE BABY JESUS!"
Then he runs out of sight and hides behind the curtains.
The audience will never forget that as long as they live.

XD XD

If you can find it, it is SO worth watching!!

Ugh.

2008-11-25T12:29:00.000-08:00

I'm sick. I think it's tonsillitis again. I've had it enough to know when it's coming, and believe me, it's coming.
The doctor told me, the first time I had it when Mom and Dad took me to the doctor, he said it was caused by weather changing without warning. And Paraguay changes weather a lot. One day it's freezing cold, and the next it's Sahara hot!
My throat is scratchy, I have a fever, my eyes are watery and I have a cold and cough. Let me explain this in grave detail, for those of you who are blessed with unbeatably strong immune systems.

When you have tonsillitis like this:

1. You feel like bashing your head against a wall to stop it from hurting.

2. You want to jump in a tub of ice to get rid of the awful burning fever.

3. You're considering sleeping for a decade and never waking up, if ONLY you could get to sleep.

4. You want to blow up the juice in the cup on your nightstand.

5. You feel as though your eyes will melt out of your head any minute.

6. You start writing your will.

So there. That's how I feel. I also have something else I'd like to blog.
I have invented a bunch of smileys.

b=^. <--a doctor who has just discovered an unknown disease.

d=^) <-- a baseball hat on a lil' dude.

I'll have to post the rest of them later.
I have to go now.

Bye.

I'm ba-ack!

2008-11-24T06:58:00.000-08:00

Hi!
Well..nothing much happened over the weekend. Except for Skittle's birthday.
* cleans up streamers *
* throws away package wrapping *
* tosses party blowers..keeps one for self *
* sweeps up cake on floor *
* wipes melted ice cream *
* emails balloons to Skittles *

I made her a GIMP! WOO!
Also..Nothing..
I didn't really do much. I told Skittles a wonderful story about a little man named Puppo who lived on the twelfth floor of an oak tree apartment tree. He had a mean dog. XD

I love The Honeymooners. I have been watching them and they are SO FUNNY!

That is Ralph Kramden. We have the seasons...XD

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SKITTLES!!

2008-11-22T08:53:00.000-08:00

I'm sorry I'm late!

Dear Katie,

You are the sweetest person I've ever met. You're meek and humble, yet funny and you're just a wonderful friend. I hope you had the best 14th birthday of your life! You deserve it.
=)
Love,
Verja

* throws streamers *
* hands Skittles a cake *
* hugs *

I love you, and thank you for being my great friend. =)

* teary eyes * I miss you. :')

We-e-ell

2008-11-21T12:08:00.000-08:00

Hello everybody!

I am bored today. And it's Friday! I don't know about you, but after Sunday, Friday is my favorite day. It means that there will be no school for 2 days. That is just wonderful! At least to kids, anyway...;)
I have had plenty to think about today. For one, THAT GIRL WHO CHANGES HER NAME SO MUCH, I think it's Skittles, now...Maybe...? She'll probably change it soon...So, don't count on it. Anyways, her birthday is tomorrow, and I have a present, which I shall create with GIMP, in mind, but the sad thing is, GIMP is on the older computer and that computer just shut off..So..I can't GIMP. But I have to so that I can make TGWCHNSM's present. (that girl who changes her name so much)...I only have until TOMORROW!! I have to! I have to make it!! NOW NOW NOW!

Alas, all my friends are not online. I think they left as soon as my computer shut off, meaning I couldn't communicate with them, thus, as soon as I, their entertainment, left, they got bored and left. I love ya, friends! :D

I am writing a mystery novel. Nothing scary, don't worry. The problem is..I don't know what to do for a mystery! I have started it..and..* crickets * ALRIGHT-ALRIGHT I KNOW! I procrastinate!! I haven't sat down and thought very much. I'm more of a 'make-it-up-as-you-go' sort of author. And another thing, I write and write and then I can never finish the book...Or I get bored halfway through and KAPUT. I forget entirely about it. For example...I have about 5 stories in my email drafts and another 12 in Microsoft Office Word. And they have been there since...* crickets *...About 5 months now. Maybe? I don't know. Just a guesstimate.
So, please leave me a comment with an idea on a NOT-FREAKY mystery. And it has to be made up by you, and I want it to be creative. And different. Not typical. Where is Jerry Bruckheimer when you need him?

I drew an interesting picture today. I put my art supplies given to me by about 40 churches, (THANK YOU!! :D) to good use and drew a charcoal picture of a little girl on a swing in a little place by a creek. Personally, I think I could have done better, but...I don't have a charcoal eraser, and thus, I will leave it as is. The little girl is cute! With pigtails. And there is a little stool under the swing. And in the creek behind her, are cat-tails and fish...I want to go there...To that peaceful place. And I don't believe in looking at it, staring and concentrating on it because, um. THAT WON'T TAKE ME THERE! I have a vivid imagination, but I refuse to use it for that...
I have a dilemma. I want to draw something to match my room. I want my own artwork on the wall. Since I can't use my paint-by-numbers, I want to draw or paint my own piece. (My paint-by-numbers' paint dried up...BOTH KITS! * sobs in despair *) Any ideas?? My room is colorful. Themed INDIA, because I've always admired how India is so colorful! I want to go there...: ) Anyways, here are the colors, if, in any way this helps you to think of something: turquoise, pink, yellow, green, orange, and stripes in all those colors along with blue butterflies. I have thought of drawing the Taj Mahal,( Not sure HOW you spell that!) because I have always thought that that building is COOL-LOOKIN'!

I have named my camera Chloe. Thank you very very very much, Skittles! I love that name! And it fits my camera perfectly. Because she has a little beaded dog and a little trinket made by my dear, dear friend BosSha hanging from the hook. Chloe...I love it! : )

I have a few more lessons in math and then I'll be DONE. For about a week, I'll get some freedom, and then I will start the next book...Oh, the joy.

Turkey Day is coming up! TURKEY DAY! The day where everyone gathers round, is thankful, and stuffs their faces with mashed potatoes, gravy, pies and all that other wooooonderful food...:)
We are having the H family over. They have 8 kids. Yes, 8. But they are such a wonderful family! They gave me books!! : ) Wonderful, glorious books. I've read them already. I can't wait until they get here. Their family is so fun! : ) I plan to sing Sound of Music songs with them, because they all harmonize and know the songs by heart. I LOVE that movie! Julie Andrews has the voice of an angel.

To celebrate any holiday that has a hat involved, (except for Halloween or any other bad holiday), ugh..x|) I wear the hat through the week of the holiday. Since I don't go to public school * shudders at the thought *, I have fun and wear funky hats on holidays. This week, I shall wear a black top-hat that I found in the toy-box. That is as close as I can get to a Pilgrim's hat. AROUND CHRISTMAS, I will wear my Santa hat that Skittles gave me. : )

I have been thinking. What comes to mind when you think toiletries? PRONOUNCE IT.
Toi-let-trees.
I think of a group of trees with toilets growing on them. What do YOU think of?
Any other funny mental pictures of strange words? How about...Napkin. Doesn't that seem like a better name for a toddler-size sleeping bag? "Mommy...Did you pack my napkin?"
Isn't that CUTE!? I like that much better than something that we wipe our messy mouths with. What can you think of that people say often and don't realize what they sound like? Please leave it in your comment. I like to laugh. :)

I think I've kept you long enough. I'm off to go and write a chapter in the story blog. BLUEY, SKITTLES AND NETSIRK HAVEN'T BEEN WRITING IN IT!!! I, Verja, shall take upon myself the perilous danger of writing in a story blog that is hungry from not having been written in for months and months.
* places sword on both shoulders *

Bye bye! :D

Lots of Stuff to Say, so...SIT TIGHT!

2008-11-19T08:40:00.000-08:00

First off, I was tagged by Bluey:

SEVEN RANDOM THINGS ABOUT ME: (even if it wasn't seven, it's seven now!! xD)

1. I'm a stickler for capitalization in chat messages.

2. I hate strawberries.

3. I get up at 5:45 AM to do devotions.

4. I have five email addresses.

5. I have 6 blogs.

6. I express my opinion VERY STRONGLY, which means I can be pretty sarcastic...Like me mommy!

7. I love candles!

* pushes that aside * There.
Movin' on.

William is bossing my mom! He is being an over-eager Democrat brat who is upset that he isn't getting his way. He teaches public school, and I feel sorry for the kids in his class. Here is my letter to you, Willy !
:

Dear William,
Have you any brain at all? Or do you just shout out random sentences that seem to make sense in your mind?
Well, you have fun in your little world with all the magical ponies and rainbows pretending that life is simple and perfect.
Sincerely,
Verja

TIME TO RAAANT!

Today I did more math than I usually do. I have decided to name my Canon Digital Elph camera. I wanted to name it a boy name, but, I have three little pink charms hanging from it and I don't really want a gay camera.. And there is a picture of my camera on the side-bar here. No, here. WAIT WAIT! I'm serious. Right here. Click here. JUST CLICK IT WILL YOU!??! Here, here. Here. Here, here, here and here. Aqui. Por aca. THIS ONE. Riiiiight here. Driving you nuts yet?
Good. Have fun on your little internet scavenger hunt! =-) Here. Here. Here...
(You can't skip back to where I first introduced it. If you even try to, you'll see that that post is in my drafts!! MUAHA! * laughs evilly *, * lightning flashes *..* scary music * MuahahaHAHAHAHAHA..ahahaa.aaha..ha. * turns out light. *
Anyways, here are the girl names:

1.Cami
2.Canon...(|:P...That one seems too ordinary..)
3.Candace.

(Please feel free to comment with any suggestions. I want the name to start with a 'C'. Thankies!)

I also am about to break into the wonderful, controlling world of Sims 2. Unless, my friends come on.
So, bye bye for now! :D

I Have Been GIMPing...

Greetings, Comrades!

2008-11-06T13:45:00.000-08:00

Well, today, I sit at my computer.
I type this. And this and this and this.
I have been whistling a LOT lately. I don't know why, I just have!

I got a clean streak today. I went through my room and tidied everything, straightened everything and I found something WONDERFUL to use as a knick-knack catcher.
While in Ohio, Dad bought me, Verje and McCja and Verna, (all the girls in the family) little baskets. Well, okay, they are made out of pretty wood, and they are the shape of a heart. They are napkin-holders that double as a hot-pad. They are absolutely lovely. I have mine set on my desk to catch whatever I don't have time to put away...OKAY! YOU CAUGHT ME! It's a place where I can put little stuff when I'm lazy and don't want to put them where they belong, and it won't look messy.
I cleaned the kitchen on my own choice, because I felt the strange urge. I found a wonderful paper flower made by my great friend, Higpa, and it just happens to match my bedspread PERFECTLY. So, I tied the pretty flower around the handle of the ..um...heart..thing....:D

McCja went and got my ring from the store, and Dad is supposed to bring it to me as soon as he gets back from their house.
I shall be VERY angry if either of them forget. I don't think they will, though.

Here I sit. Bored.
Help me.

Someone get on Gmail, Yahoo, MSN..ANYTHING! HELP!

Adios, comrades!

These....

2008-11-05T09:21:00.000-08:00

Are interesting...

I needed something that would take my mind off of Obama and his baby-killing nonsense. He doesn't care.
If he doesn't care for babies, he has no heart. What makes America think he even cares for America?
-_-
He makes me mad.

I have an awesome confession:

I beat ALL of those mind-readers!! WOO! I don't know how they do it, or how I do it!! But I can beat them!
And they all involve math, which, I am horrible at...* ahem, I HATE IT, ahem *

So, just see if you can beat them. I caaaaan! WOO!

Anyways...Yeah...
Please pray for America...They need it.
Obama as President...Wow...

And, today is Wacky Wednesday, so I decided to post those wacky mind-reader thingies.

AND, TODAY IS WE'RE GONNA DIE BECAUSE OBAMA IS PRESIDENT DAY...I'd say that's wacky...scary...and enough for this Wednesday.

* breaks into tears *

Obama is President.

PLEASE READ THE POST BEFORE THIS ONE.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

2008-11-05T03:26:00.001-08:00

Obama won.
Simple as that.
As my Mom said, there are going to a bunch of people whining in a year or two.
I have had a terrible life. First Chavez, now Obama. I deserve a medal or something.
Any Christian who thinks God would be pleased with a baby-killer as our President, is a very shallow Christian.
My question:

WHY DO PEOPLE THINK HE'S OKAY!??! He says it's fine to chop a baby's neck. He thinks it's okay, that if the baby happens to survive, that we have every right to just leave it in a bucket in some dark alley to suffer and die.
All I have to say to America on that is,

"AMERICA!!! WHAT WERE YOU THINKIN'?????!?!?!?!!?"
Get a brain.
and soon,
"YOU GOT SOME SPLAININ' TO DO!!"

I can't believe this...I am so upset! And to think that someone I know voted for him...
TALK ABOUT ANGER!!!

Well, time for something that doesn't make me grind my teeth...
Um...

Oh, yes!!
Yesterday I went with my two sisters to go jewelry-shopping. I found a pretty silver band, and it's being engraved with, "True Love Waits ♥"

So, here we go...4 to 8 more years of this...

Can you see my excitement?

Look What I Made!

2008-10-31T09:51:00.000-07:00

I was bored..And yeah..:)
Finally, I can use GIMP! WOOO! THANKS PIENI!!!!
Today is going alright...I'm taking my camera to WADE tonight..To take some candid pictures..I love WADE.
Anyways--that's my first work of GIMPART!
Bye bye!

I'm Back!

2008-10-28T13:41:00.000-07:00

Today is a hot day...

3. Baby toys CRACK ME UP!
Have fun...Back to my ranting...

It is hot...The pool is looking nice...I think I'll go jump in it when I finish this post...The water is nice and cool.
We had the nieces over while Dad, McCja and McCbr went to Philadelphia for a day...xD... They brought back chocolate chips! That, is wonderfulness in itself!
My room has managed to get a bit messier... So, tonight, I will go through it completely and pick it up so it can go back to the way it was last week. With....* theme music *
A place for everything! And everything in it's PLACE! xD! * musical notes run away *
..Yeah..
I babysat for me nieces on Sunday, twas fun. :) I'm thinking of making another blog. Verja's Babysitting Adventures!
Ya think I should?
I have the strange feeling that school is gonna come back tomorrow...*GULP*
I am doing much, much better with GIMP.
Bluey, you copied me. Well, sorta.

Hi Everyone...

2008-10-24T14:20:00.000-07:00

Aah...Uhm..Ah--Yeah. I know. I need to blog. :)

Let's see...Hmm...
*thinks so hard brain explodes and head falls off*
Whoops.
*picks head up and screws back on*
Ah. :)
Tonight we are having a cookout! YAY! Complete with steak, GUASACACA, Mamy's awesome famous seven layer salad (I grated the cheese), sausage and we're all gonna swim in the pool cause the pool is nice. Not cold, and the weather is perfect. Plus, I love swimming at night! :)
McCbr and McCja were here, along with McCab and McCel, but, the little girls have bed-times so McCbr and McCja are taking them back, calling a friend of theirs to watch the babies and then coming back and havin' some fun!! WOOOOOO!!
Tis 6:27 now.
Everyone, Lenma, Lenjo, and their dad are all coming over. McCbr and McCja and (our hero) the guy who helped us get the container so fast, Bobma and his wife, Bobri or Bobli.
The fun begins at 8. . .
*stares at the little clock in bottom right corner of screen*
*sees you're doing the same thing*
STOP COPYING ME!
An eternity from now. . .HOW will I be able to stay patient?? I can't do it, I tell you! I JUST CAN'T!
Patience isn't my forte. I go crazy at the doctor's office when it's full.
GUESS WHAT!
No, seriously. GUESS!
NO! I'm not gonna tell you until you guess.
-
0.o ...Um, weird suggestion, and no. That's not it.

Actually, there are TWO things I must tell you:
1. I cut my hair. It's about an inch shorter than my shoulders!
2. I might get new glasses as part of my Christmas present! YAAAY!
Boy, were you way off..xD..

I have 36 more pages, no, 35 (toldja I was bad with numbers) in Math. Then, oh the joy, I get to start ANOTHER book...FuuUuuun...|:P
Anna is clawing at my shoulder...OUCH!
Tacogirl, YE MUST POST ABOUT GREECE! ! ! MUST MUST! Oh, sure..You're probably off looking at all the awesome statues and those pillars in the whatever ya call it..Yay for Tacogirl!
I have been waking up at 6 ever since yesterday. Randomizer wakes up then, and I'm a morning-person so I thought I'd give it a shot and try it.
LOVE IT! Mornings are peaceful and it seems as if the world is just waking up...: ) I have my cellphone alarm set to go BLEEP BLEEP RING RING BLEEEEEEEP! RING RING BLEEP! RING RING BLEEEEEEP! BLEEP BLEEP RING RING BLEEEEEEEEEP! RING! (It's an annoying tune, thus, it works!) I have it high on a shelf so that, in order to turn it off, I HAVE to get out of bed. It works. I woke up, made my bed and tidied my room up. That took about, oh, 20 seconds?
NEWS: I am organized. I have broken my horrid habit of messiness. My room has stayed neat all week, which means, I can go on. It has NEVER ever before, in the history of ME, PEOPLE, ever stayed this neat for so long, usually it stays neat for maybe an hour and then I mess it up again. However...*glances at drawer* I need to clean that drawer out...Or it'll come back to haunt me by encouraging the rest of my room to GET MESSY! And I don't want that. Okay. Let me make this clear. I L♥VE it when my room is neat, clean and perfect. What I HATE is having to take the time off to do that. I hate stopping what I'm doing, like, chatting with buddies, playing around with GIMP, etc. Tehe..I'm lazy! :P I'd rather blog.
(I saw the coolest teeshirt EVER that had the Blogger sign on it, and it said, 'I'd rather be blogging'. WaNt It!! SO BAD!)
GIMP is going well. I took Bluey's advice and went ahead and emailed her friend, the GIMP MARVEL. She was lots of help and gave me some links.
If you ever read this, NacNi (star wars for her email) THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can finally fix things up. I tried making Iwo Jima on GIMP. Twas hard, and I gave up cause I lost all my work 7 times. :(
My paint-by-number kit? The paints are all dried out...Just what I was afraid of..Let's take a minute, please.
*takes off hat*
*cries*
*puts flowers on paint-by-numbers kit*
Sniffle...:'| BUT! GOOD NEWS! :) Mom says she will get a BUNCH of replacement paints, (won't match the numbers mixing and stuff) and I SHALL WING IT! I already know how to do shadows and stuff..Now when we're actually gonna go get that paint? Don't know..0.o We must wait and see..>Something I ain't that great at.
Tomorrow, Dad is making (OH JOY!) waffles. Sure, for you it isn't so awesome. Try living without waffles or whatever your favorite food is (tacogirl-chocolate milk/macandcheese), for 3 years. Just try it. Then you'll be grateful.
Anyways, he's going all the way. And he's invited McCbr, McCja and the girls over, too. STEAK TONIGHT, WAFFLES TOMORROW! THIS. IS. THE. LIFE!
6:55..

6:56...

*watches time like a hawk* What should I do while I wait? I've already read (3 books) just today, no wait...*calculates*..4 books. I've chatted, I'm done with the computer for now...I'll be back on in like 4 hours! FRIDAY NIGHT! WHAPOO! (never heard THAT cheer, havya?)

GAH! 6:57..

6:58..

Oh..Still 2 more hours..Mmmph...>:|

Hi everyone!

Glad you all like my blog. WHO DELETED ONE OF MY COMMENTS? I DEMAND TO KNOW!

Anywho:

Today is Time Change...*cuts ribbon and cheers*...Which means I woke up at 6, normal time, Randomizer...:D

I was made fun of last night. As many of you know, I am a blonde. Inside and out. xD
So, I asked my brother in law, MccBr, how many hours ahead it would skip.
He said 6.
I believed him.
Ladies and Gentlemen, that was my first mistake.
Then Verje went along with it.
I believed her too..Steerike TWO!
And, then they were like, "You should shower now, which should take you a little and then get to sleep once we get home, cause you only have like 2 hours til you have to get up for church!"
I believed them again...

*smacks forehead* WHEN WILL YOU LEARN, VERJA??!?!?!

With being blonde comes privileges, and consequences.

Isn't It KEWT!!?!?!?!

As of the day. I had a great morning! I was all ready to go to Choir Practice at church, at 9. As it is every Saturday.
NO.
The leader is going to France today. He left someone in charge who can't rehearse with us until 3 this afternoon...I love practice! And I was sooo upset when I found out I'd have to make 6 hours pass FAST!!
So, we came back. Then Dad made pancakes. They were yum! I watched a movie, washed dishes, and then swept up my room.
I have a list in my room...
BYE!

WOO!!!!

Ok..? I didn't know about the dating site. NOBODY needs to go there. Just click past all the hippie-love and peace stuff, and DON'T join if invited to. Just take the quiz and post your result! Thankies!

Okay!

MISSION: ORGANIZATION!

I am a messy person. I always have been. ENOUGH! I am gonna keep all my stuff organized.
I already cleaned a LOT!

I have:

-tossed out trash
-sorted my desk, school stuff: notebook, pencil-jar, sharpener and tape on one side and jewelry on the other side. A picture frame in the middle.
-cleared out under my bed.
-organized my desk-shelves.

I have to: (by tonight)

-fold clothes and put clean ones away.
-organize closets.
-sweep.

So, 4 down, 3 to go! WOO!

And, if I fail hopelessly in this attempt, I am gonna scream at myself like that guy on the MAILCALL show, and hop right back to it.

Reward if done:

I can make quesadillas...YUM...

My Day at A Glance: (Complete with how long it will take me!)

Wake up. (1 min)
Make bed. (1 min)
Clear floor. (about 20 sec-2 mins, depending on WHAT is on the floor!)
Take care of clothes. (5 mins)
Tidy up bookshelf. (3 mins)
Tidy up desk. (5 mins)
School. (2 1/2 hrs)
Organize just a little throughout the day. ( 3-6 mins each)
Get lost/missplaced/ out of place items and out them where they belong. (5 mins)
Sleep. (10 hrs).

Sound good to you? Maybe YOU could follow my example...HEHEHE!

*gulp*

Here I go...

I have to stop this procrastinating...It's disorganized, and that's my whole goal here!

...
Still here...GET UP, VERJA!

...

...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! GO! HOP TO IT!

Fine.

Pray for me!

*reluctantly gets out of chair, carrying Anna in arms who is asleep)

Bye..

Don't click my text, BTW...Something weird...I think it's the quiz or something...
OKAY OKAY! I'm GOIN' I'm GOIN'!!!

Wow..

2008-10-16T18:54:00.000-07:00

That is all I can say. I wish I could say more, but...I just can't.
Something horrible has happened. Go here for the full story: CLICK.
Things happen in life so fast. Nobody knew of it. She has 4 kids, her husband is dead from a Motorcyle Accident.. Life is going to be terribly rough on their entire family.
I can just imagine if it was MY father. It's horrible.
God has reason. We just don't know what it is yet. And, he was saved. Now he is with God, who wanted him to come home. And whatever God wants, God gets.
It's normal for sadness to come, but, he's with God. He's happy. And no more pain will come to him. Please pray that God will give them all the strength, guidance and comfort they need so much.
I can't believe it..
PLEASE pray.

God Bless them.
They are suffering so much.
Tomorrow, let's all express love to everyone. As you can see, things happen so fast. No one can stop them.
So, just show everyone just how much you care.

Bye.

Agreed.

2008-10-15T18:31:00.000-07:00

I need to blog. So, here we go.
The reasons I haven't blogged for a while is because:
1. I have so many story ideas!
2. I have a packed week.
3. I have a lot of things to do every day.
4. I have 4 devotionals I do.
5. I read everyone else's blog.
6. I have school.
7. Blogger has blocked 2 of my blogs, don't know why!
8. I have been emailing like crazy.
9. The pool is finally warm enough to swim in cause the days are HOT.
10. I get blogger's block.

So. Yeah.
As a peace-offering, here are some pictures I took of Anna on the day we got her:

Am I forgiven?
Goodnight.

My Photography Passion

2008-10-12T18:02:00.000-07:00

All of us Ver girls, LOVE to take pictures. Me and McCja like to pose the girls McCab and McCel to take candid photos. I need to figure out how to edit with GIMP to make good pictures great. Like eyes pop and making the focus a certain object and yeah.
I have my own camera. I love it. I got it from a church, and I am always getting on people's nerves by either leaning around them, asking them to move, please, or shouting SMILE! I prefer candid shots. Poses to me, just look fake. I'm finally figuring out how to use all the little settings on my camera. Like, Macro is for taking focus-pictures, where you can take pictures of things like flowers and it makes the background blurry and the focus is sharp. I love using that for flowers and I have yet to get one of the babies still so I can take a Macro of their eyes. I can't wait! My photos ain't all that spectacular, because they aren't edited with Photoshop, cause, I can't get photoshop. GIMP, I would be VERY excited to learn how to use it better, AHEM! TACOGIRL! HELP! NOW!
GUESS WHOSE BIRTHDAY IS SOON! ...AHEM TACOGIRL...I HAVE YOUR PRESENT READY...LEMME KNOW WHEN YOU WANT IT!

New Bloggie!

2008-10-12T10:04:00.000-07:00

Go looky!
www.verjasphotos.blogspot.com
It will soon be chock-full of pictures I have taken myself. I have one thing to ask: Tacogirl? Please show me how to edit with GIMP better. Because I am clueless. And my pictures are okay, but, they can only be great if I figure out how to edit them!

Thankies.

They are annoying. The people at the legal papers place. They are always saying this every time we go, thinking it will be ready:
"Oh, wait. We need to do a few more things. Come back Tuesday."
So we come back on Tuesday.
"Sorry, it isn't ready yet. Saturday."
We come back Saturday.
"Could you maybe come back around 8 on Wednesday?"
We come back Wednesday.
"Yeah--um--You're the one with the--OH YEAH! Well, we don't have them ready yet. Come back on Thursday."
We come back Thursday.
"We aren't ready. We still have to talk to.. Come back at 9:30 on Friday. We'll have them ready!"
We are going today...Let's see what happens...0.o...Will they still have ONE MORE thing to do? Or will they play this mind-game forever??

So, I woke up at 6 AM today. Don't ask me why. I just woke up, thinking I was late. So, I got out of bed. And, for once, I was really angry. I was like NO! I DON'T WANNA WAKE UP! but I did.
And then I made my bed and chatted with Tacogirl for a bit. It was fun! I am sending her photos and videos right now...They are taking forever....
Last night Verje reminded me that I have tons of pictures, all scattered about. So, I spent like an hour organizing them and putting them all into ONE dainty little file. Now, when you open My Pictures, you don't see all these crazy mixed up messed up pictures. You see maybe 5 folders to choose from. I'm gonna organize the files in Verja's Pictures. YAY! =)
My room is awesome. I am gonna get a beanbag chair! And paint my wall! WOO! (= o
I am writing new stories. YAY!
Prayer Requests:
-This month is Missions Conference Month.
-I have no way to get to choir practice.
-THAT THE LEGAL PAPERS WILL BE DONE!!

YAWN Hello, People! MEME MONDAY!

2008-10-06T19:53:00.000-07:00

I am bored. I'm also tired. I felt bad all morning. And then I felt worse when I had to do school. Math.
I started Social Studies, English and Science today. A few more and I get to start this year's. Oh, the joy.
Today was fun, because we had a pastor over for pancakes. I woke up and was like:
"It's morning."
"That dude is coming over for breakfast."
*yawns*
"I look like a wreck."
"I need to shower."
*rolls over*
"What time is it?"
*checks clock on bedside table*
"OH NO! HE'S COMING AT 8 AND IT'S 7:30!"
*scrambles around like a wacko*

You get the point. I was okay when he got here. Then I cleaned my room and made it look all pretty. And then we had pancakes! My dad makes the best pancakes. Ever. I mean, -best pancakes ever- is an understatement. He makes them light and fluffy. He also had to make maple syrup, because, SURPRISE! They don't have maple syrup here. Or chocolate chips.
But we don't get called bad names because we are white, and there are no strikes outside our front door every night so we'll survive. =)
My kitty Anna is looking so lovely. She has such pretty fur and her eyes are getting bigger. I hope they stay blue...They had better stay blue. As I write this she is falling asleep right next to me. Sitting. And she thinks she can nap while sitting...Crazy, but insanely cute cat. I love her...She's so soft. And she's so happy to see me every morning.
* anna climbs into lap *
Aww!

I will post again tomorrow!
Right now it's my bed time!

G'night!

MEME:

Age: no way
Name: do i look stupid?
Location: um--nah
Pets? Yes. One. Anna. She's a doorbell! adorable
Do you look like a pancake? Not particularly why...?
Do you like this quiz? Sure...
Do you like the person who sent this and made it? yeah. becca, you are one of the coolest 12 year olds around!

Gnaight!

One of my favorites!

2008-10-05T08:37:00.000-07:00

There is this book about a little badger, and she has such adorable little stories. Her name is Frances. Here we go. You'll love it!

It was a quiet evening.
Father was reading his newspaper.
Mother was feeding Gloria, the new baby.
Frances was sitting under the kitchen sink.
She was singing a little song:

Plinketty, plinketty, plinketty, plink.
Here is the dishrag that's under the sink.
Here the buckets and brushes and me,
Plinketty plinketty plinketty plee.

She stopped the song and listened.
Nobody said anything.
Frances went to her room and took some gravel out of the drawer where she had been saving it. She put the gravel into her empty coffee can and put the lid on it.
Frances marched into the living-room and rattled the gravel in the can. As she marched she sang a marching song:

Here we go marching, rattley bang!

"Please don't do that, Frances.", said Father.
Frances stopped.
"All right.", she said.
She went back into the kitchen and sat down under the sink. Mother came in, carrying Gloria.
"Why are you sitting under the sink?" said Mother.
"I like it here." said Frances. "It's cozy."
"Would you like to help me put Gloria to bed?" asked Father.
"How much allowance does Gloria get?" asked Frances.
"She is too little to have an allowance", said Father. "Only big girls like you get allowances."
"May I have a penny along with my nickel now that I am a big sister?" Asked Frances.
"Yes," said Father. "Now your allowance will be six cents a week because you are now a big sister."
"Thank you."
"I know a girl who gets seventeen cents a week. She gets three nickels and two pennies."
"Well," said Father, "it's time for bed now."
Father picked Frances up from under the sink and her a piggy-back ride to bed.
Mother and Father tucked her in and kissed her goodnight.
"I need my tiny special blanket." Frances said.
Mother gave her the tiny special blanket.
"And I need my tricycle and the sled and both teddy bears and my alligator doll." said Frances.
All the necessary bedtime items were fetched, and finally Frances drifted off to sleep.
In the morning Frances got up and washed and began to dress for school.
"Is my new blue dress ready for me to wear?" asked Frances.
"Oh, dear. I was so busy with Gloria that I didn't have time to iron it. You'll have to wear the yellow one again."
Mother buttoned Frances up in the back. Then she brushed her hair and put a new ribbon in it and put her breakfast on the table.
"Why did you put sliced bananas in my oatmeal. Did you forget I like raisins?" Frances asked.
"No, I did not forget. But you finished up the raisins yesterday and I haven't been out shopping yet."
"Well," said Frances, "things are not very good around here anymore. No clothes to wear. No raisins for the oatmeal. I think maybe I'll run away."
"Finish your breakfast, Frances. It is almost time for the school-bus." Mother said.
"What time will dinner be tonight?" asked Frances.
"Half past six." Mother replied.
"Then I will have plenty of time to run away after dinnertime." finished Frances.
She kissed her mother and went to school.
After dinner that evening, Frances packed her knapsack very carefully. She put in her tiny special blanket and her alligator doll. She took all of the nickels and pennies out of her bank, for travel money, and she took her good luck coin for good luck. Then she took a box of prunes from the kitchen and five chocolate sandwich cookies.
"Well," said Frances, "it is time to say goodbye. I am on my way. Goodbye."
"Where are you running away to?" said Father.
"I think that under the table is the best place. It's cozy." Frances replied. "And the kitchen is near if I run out of cookies."
"That is good. But we'll miss you, Frances." Mother said.
Father nodded.
"Well," said Frances, "goodbye,'' and she ran away.
Father sat down with his newspaper.
Mother took up the sweater she was knitting.
Father put down his newspaper. "I miss Frances." He said.
Mother nodded. "I miss her, too."
Frances sat under the table and ate her prunes.
Father picked up his newspaper. Then he put it down again.
"I miss her little made-up songs."
"Yes, I do, too." Said Mother. "I love the tomato one she made."
"What does the tomato say, early in the dawn? Time to be all red again, now that night is gone." Father sang. "And her other one--when the wasps and the bumblebees have a party, nobody comes that can't buzz."
"Well. We're going to have to get used to a quiet house now." Said Mother.
Frances ate three of her sandwich cookies, and set aside the other for later.
She began to sing:

I am poor and hungry here, eating prunes and rice.
Living all alone is not really all that nice.

She had no rice, but chocolate sandwich cookies did not sound right for the song.
"I can almost here her now." said Father, humming the tune Frances had just sung. "She has such a lovely voice."
"It isn't like a family anymore. Families are all together. We need Frances back."
"I wish she would call." Said Father. "I'd like to see how she's getting along in her new place."
"Hello?" called Frances from the dining-room. "This is me on the telephone. Hello, hello, this is me. Is that you?"
"Hello, Frances! This is us. How are you?" Mother said.
"I am fine. This is a nice place, but you miss your family when you're away. How are you?"
"We are all well. But we miss you too." Said Father.
"I will be home soon." said Frances. And she hung up.
When Frances returned, she sang a little song:

Big sisters really have to stay
At home, not travel far away.
Because everybody misses them.
And wants to hug-and-kisses them.

"I'm not sure about that last rhyme." Said Frances.
"I love it." said Mother and Father at the same time. And the hugged her.

Children obey your parents in the Lord for this is right Eph. 6:1.

HAPPY SUNDAY!

I Can't Believe This...

2008-10-04T02:47:00.000-07:00

Ok. I have a Sunday music practice at church this morning at nine. ...

I woke up at 3. Okay? I get it from my dad! Whenever something exciting is going on, we can't sleep. At all. Which is WHY I woke up at 3 in the morning.
And yet, we can still be perky and cheerful no matter how much sleep we get, or how much sleep we lose. It's like our little super-power! I like it =). I am never usually grumpy in the morning. I greet the day with a smile. Sometimes it's an exhausted smile, but a smile nonetheless. I lay there in bed for like---an hour before I realized I wasn't gonna get back to sleep...SOOO

I chatted with Ludicrous. For a good two-maybe three hours. Then I realized:
I could do something besides chatting.
I should wash the dishes, and clean my room, and charge my cell-phone, and put my house key in my pocket. I named my cell-phone Donald. And my key is named Tracy. =)
So, anyways. It's 3 in the morning. I am cheerful, but that doesn't my brain can think straight! Give me a simple problem--eh--
83
x 2
Ewww! GET IT AWAY! UGLY MATH! NUMBERS! AUGH! Now they are floating....In my head...--OoOOooOh!---WHOA!....POP! Sorry...
So, it's 3. And I want to get a ton of things done...NO. It didn't work out. I just came out here and procrastinated. Which is what I am doing now when I COULD be washing dishes, or charging my cell-phone, or picking out what to wear. NO.
I need to do all these things because I know that I should have them ready, cause unless I do, I will forget it and I will be mad at myself. Cause that's how I am. Teehee.

Kitty Anna is doing wonderful! She is still asleep for now, as most of ya'll probably are. . .Yeah. But, she likes me the most. Cause she cuddles with me and she's always there when I read my Bible in the morning--or when I am telling myself I have to get math done...She is there to comfort me. And purr like there is no tomorrow! She is so cute!

I can't wait until nine
*glances at clock*
AUGH! I wish I could take a shower now, but if I take a shower I will need to blow-dry my hair so I don't look like a frizz-head. And if I blow-dry my hair at 6 AM on Saturday morning--let's just say you'll never see me again, K?
This afternoon me and a group of Marina's friends are going to hang out! YAY! WADE kids.
WADE is awesome! It stands for Want A Deeper Experience. It occupies my Friday nights. It's a teen fellowship. We have Bible-study, we play games and it's so much fun! I ♥ it!
I am actually a very very busy person! I have:
Monday-Wednesday--Nothing.
Thursday: 7:30 Teen-Meet at Brian's house.
Friday: WADE. Last night, I made cookies. It turned out to be a special night, where everyone did a special, so I gave everyone who participated a cookie. I call them chocolate chip crumblies. You want the recipe, let me knoooow!
Saturday: 9:00 Church Music Practice, 7:00 Teen-Meet at the church. Today, at 1:40 is when I go hang out with everyone at the mall! WOOT!
Sunday: I am a part of the church music now! WOOOOO! ALABANZA! YAAAAAY!
So, Yes I can be very busy. Weekdays that I don't have anything going on means: EXTRA SCHOOL WORK. Cause I go around repeating I'M BORED. I'M BORED. and then Mom comes up and says,
"Are you really? How about you do some math?"
And then I am not bored ANY MORE. =D

I really love my girls devotional! It's very good! In fact, I think I'll go ahead and do today's page...

Here is what I'm gonna try to do:
-Wash the dishes--still have the mixing bowl and spoons and cups and stuff out.
-Clean my room--the desk is---bad.
-Take care of Anna, so when she wakes up while I'm gone everything is all ready for her.
-Set out what I am going to wear.
-Charge my cell-phone, put my house key in my pocket and say tonight's teen meet verse to myself.
-Make my breakfast--omelette, maybe? Actually, I don't think I'll make food. It's raining and a bit chilly, so, I'll probably make some hot cocoa...
UNTIL I can take a shower. Because, like I said, if I used the blow-dryer this early in the morning---yeah...

So, I have to go now. Thanks for reading my rant! I was bored...Hehe.
These floors creak, so there's like NO WAY to be quiet...Tip-toeing is OUT of the question. So I usually RUN. And get it over with...Hehe
SO BAI!

AFK!

2008-10-02T12:12:00.000-07:00

I haven't really blogged for a bit. You know that. So much has been going on! We start all school next week, and I started math this week...Blaaaaaaaaaaah...I hate it. It's like a very very VERY foreign language to me--- I don't understand it! It's like Martian or something--or--it looks like something that robots will speak in the future! THAT, my friends, is creepy. It gives me a headache! Mom has me doing a whole lesson every day. That's 6 pages. And it made my brain fry this morning, (but, I know I need it. I love you, Mom. Thanks for not sugar-coating it. Seriously, thank you) To the point where I spilled water on the floor, felt like I was going to explode with x, %, =, and +. I had a headache all morning!! I made the mistake of SHOWING it, though.
Jewel is going to make banana-bread this afternoon, and tonight we have a teen-meet at McCbr and McCJa's house. I can't wait!
The pool is nice finally, so I will go swimming soon. People are outside fixing the air-conditioner now, though. So I'll wait.
I have taken up a really cool hobby! Nature Journaling! Where you sit outside with a blank notebook, and draw and write about everything you see! It really relaxes me. I am also doing a 30-day-challenge devotional, and it is amazing. I feel SO much closer to God. I know it'll help me. I mean, we all fail in Bible-reading one time or another. And praying. Today I learned about thirsting for God. And then I realized I haven't read my Bible in like two weeks! I've prayed, sure, and I'm singing at church now, but not reading my Bible in two weeks?
No wonder I'm thirsty. So yeah, it's really helped.
I love my room! I put a poster that my friends made for me in Venezuela, before we left, and it is a HUGE piece of paper, with individual notes from each of them on it. And it says my name at the top in purple. FUNNY, the purple in my name matches my bed-sheets perfectly! So, I put it up above my bed!
I'm gonna paint ONE wall turquoise. I can't wait! It's gonna look so pretty!
My bookshelf is up. Good thing, too. Cause I have a L O T of books. I devour books. My whole family does.
I took a big step today. Maybe it isn't so big for you as it was for me, but...
I left the house. Alone. To go buy some Coke...--And nothing happened! Maybe it doesn't surprise you, and you're thinking I'm such a baby, but, living in Venezuela, I was NEVER allowed to leave the house alone. I'd get shot! Or kidnapped! Or---well, let's just say, you'd never see me again! THAT is why it was so scary for me. But, I know realize that Paraguay is different. It's peaceful and calm. People walked by me, saw my clueless expression and asked me how I was and if I needed help finding anything. So sweet! In Venezuela, I'd be pushed into a car. And blind-folded. And, probably killed. But they were asking how I was! And offering their help!
So, now that I know my way around and that I don't HAVE to be afraid, as everyone here in the neighborhood is very peaceable and kind and trustworthy, I can walk around without guarding myself. I guess it's because in Venezuela we always had to be on guard. It really really really made me feel better knowing that nothing was gonna happen. I'm 14 now, and I can handle it.
Yes, I know, I sound like a baby. If you grew up in a place like Venezuela, you'd understand.
Let's see--what else is happening? Hmm...Ah yeah! I need help! I have a TON of little containers, like one is shaped like a bamboo treasure chest, and another is a silk little box, and each box matches my room PERFECT. But--I don't know what to put in them! As I want to display them cause they are so cute!
And now, my adorable niece has asked me if I wanted to go swimming---HOW can ANYONE say no to that?
BYE!

A Fun Story

2008-09-28T16:53:00.001-07:00

At camp's singing competition. A girl was being super mean. And yes, I am a Christian, and I agree completely that we should treat others as we would treat ourselves. But, she was sitting there, in the bench, looking up at me, more like, trying to bore holes in me with her eyes. NOT exaggerating! And, I was doing fine until she looked like she would pin me down and shoot me. I heard from her cabin-mates that she didn't act very Christian. But, you never know. Maybe she just didn't like me or something. Prejudice and wrong, but...I'm 5 foot nothing, and I couldn't beat her up even if I wanted to!
And, when she finally got up to sing, this is what she said:
"Hey everyone! Um, I'm very blessed to sing up here, and to be observed by WONDERFUL judges, and to be able to perform here really is an honor. I believe that God wants me to serve Him by singing. Maybe there is someone here who isn't saved tonight, and I hope and pray that they will accept Jesus, and that I can be God's witness. I hope that what you hear tonight reflects my love of Christ. And I hope that every other contestant, who did too wonderful for words, enjoyed it. And thank you for participating. I really enjoyed every song tonight. I am so blessed to be able to come up here. Let's pray: Thank you, Dear Lord. For this wonderful opportunity to serve you with my gift that you have given me. Please help me to win, if you want me to. And humble me if I don't. In thy name we pray. As I was saying, thank you, wonderful judges. For the honor of singing in your presence. I really hope you take into consideration that I am 15, and haven't been trained. And, my name is _____________. And I'll be singing Via Dolorosa."

She sang alright. After being a total major-league suck-up to the judges, and giving a whole testimony, when all she was supposed to do was say hi my name is stephanie billings and ill be singing via dolorosa and im 15. And she was singing a song, that to Spanish-speakers makes no sense. Observe:
This is the English translation:

Down the via of the roses,
jesus christ ran happily.
And the soldiers hugged Him like He was their friend.
And the crowd pressed in to see,
The man who ran away from Calvary....

DOWN THE VIA! OF THE ROSES!
Jesus Christ made history!
As they tickled,
The savior, on the crooooooooss!

And so on. Does that make ANY sense? No. It's inaccurate. Did the soldiers tickle Jesus? At all? I don't think so. More like poke him to no end. Spear Him. Kick. Spit. All of that. Tickling was not involved.
And it's called the Painful Road. Not the Road of Roses. GEESH!

I was about to explode of laughter. Me and a girl next to me named LopMa had to leave the building. Cause we both were the only ones who actually spoke and understood Spanish.
Once outside, we laughed our hearts out.
Then, we went back inside. And she was going over the chorus, so we had to run BACK outside. We peeped through the window. LoPMa was dying of laughter.
________________ was up there, crying, and showing extreme emotion and a powerful voice and --
WINKING and WAVING at the judges. LOL!

Whaddaya think of THAT?

Okay. So afterwards, even though I didn't really like her, I decided to get past it, pretend she HADN'T glared at me, and congratulate her on her performance.
Me: I just wanted to say that you did really good. Your voice is really powerful. That's my favorite song. So, basically, just--Good Job! *smile through clenched teeth from me to her*
Her: Listen, honey. You're good, too. You have a pretty tone to your voice. BUT--
Me: Thanks. I was like, really nervous.
Her:Don't interrupt me.
Me: Sor-
Her: You're like, totally interrupting me again, hon. Now as I was saying. You aren't good enough. Okay? I'm gonna win. The judges liked me better, you twerp. Okay? I had to be dramatic, because unless I was, you were gonna win. You're enchanting. And I didn't like you. And if you tell ANYONE about this..weell--
Me: Got it.
Her: And, if you took lessons for like --forty years--maybe JUST maybe you'll get as good as me.
Me: Oh? Really? That's too bad...Who would pay that long just to reach your level? *muttered*
Her: Scuse me, hon?
Me: Nothing, gotta go.

She won. I wanted to shout, 'She said that the soldiers tickled Jesus!' but didn't.
I admit, I was kinda sad. But, God will do what He wants.

It's Worth The Wait, Trust Me

2008-09-26T16:48:00.000-07:00

Yes, I know. I haven't posted in TWO DAYS. So sue me! But, this will be worth waiting two days. And, I feel horrible about not being able to blog already. So. Here we go!

Okay....

Prepare yourself! CUTENESS INCOMING!

Ready?

Put down anything you are drinking, and swallow your food NOW.

Okay....

In all her shining glory, please welcome, Anna, the Siamese kitten that we adopted just this morning!

....Toldja!

=)

Hot Afternoon!

2008-09-25T11:55:00.000-07:00

The sun is boiling-lava hot.
The pool sounds like a good possibility, but first, I want you to see this:

I get one! A Mona Lisa! But, first, I'm gonna work on some of the easier pictures...The flamingos would match my room.

I just hope the paints survived the container...Oh please oh please!!
I am fixed on doing perfect! In other words, I am competing with myself. And I love to paint!! Cannot wait to start! Anywho. Here are my options:

-The Mona Lisa

-Van Gogh's Flowers

-Puppies in a Basket on Christmas

-A Winter Cabin

-A Desert Scene

-Japanese Geisha

-Still-Life With Fruit

-A Ship

-Parrots in Paradise

-A Walk in the Park with Coco

Which one should I begin with?

Things you should know before stating your choice:

-The paintings I do will go in my room.

-My room is themed, INDIA. With bright oranges, purples, turquoises, and some pinks.

-I am not THAT skilled of a painter...hehe...Yet! =)

So, choose wisely!! For me!! Because I can't decide! =)

And, I promise, YOU HAVE MY WORD! I will post the picture of the painting when I finish it.
BUT, each of these paintings take up hours of my time. They will each take as long as two weeks to finish...PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE!!

And, I also, most likely won't begin until I am sure that I will not be interrupted with a few more boxes to unpack...In other words: I probably won't start til about next week or so.

I have a project that is due tonight. I am making a sketch for my friend and she gets it tonight. I know she'll like it.
The left side is what is bugging me. One side! THAT'S IT!!
ONE SIDE! And yet it is a thorn in my flesh!! The rest is fine-ish, but...ONE SIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And now I have to go. Dad is making hot-dogs and sausage, and I might make some brownies tonight. Because I love brownies! Doesn't everybody?

So, toodles! And don't forget to participate in Tuesday's post!! AND I WON Thesaurus Thursday! WOOT FOR ME!! THANKS, MIGHTYMOM!!

Yet More...

2008-09-24T17:19:00.000-07:00

Okay. The boxes are like rats. There are always more. No matter how great you feel after you've unpacked everything, and everything looks good, and everything is clean and nice and cozy, you remember you have a WHOLE CLOSET full of boxes that are just waiting to be unpacked! MORE!
I got the news today. I had all my room done (or so I thought), and Dad comes in with a gigantinormous box of stuff I don't even remember having!
It's like Christmas! So much, in fact, that I found my Santa hat that Kopatopie gave me at Christmas, and I wore it all day.
I don't know why, but I've always wanted a Santa hat to wear all Christmas day long! Thank you for making my wish come true, Kopatopie! =)
And I found my awesome pink, fluffy slippers! With the weather, I have been needing warmth for my footsies!
Here are some of the things that I have found, and am overjoyed because I found them:
-My Real Art! Paint Set. It's a paint-by-number kit that recreates beautiful, famous paintings! I get to paint the Mona Lisa! And van Gogh's flower picture! And it's just really really cool!
-My Holly-Heart books. The best books! I ♥ them!!
-My Babysitters Survival Guidebook
-My Nature Journal book
-My notebooks and pads!! I'm an avid writer, and I like to always have something that I can write on.
-My PURPLE bedsheets! The beige in the pictures clash, but this purple is SUPER pretty, and they are like a SILK material! Now I can make my bed where you pull the sheet out under the pillows and stuffed animals like I think every bed should be done! And it won't look--um--special?
-My jewelry chest! My gorgeous wood one! With the pretty little doors and glass carving! And I already set to work and all my jewelry is in it, all nice and organized!
-My Devotional Notebook where I put the date and it has a place for prayer requests and favorite verse notes and I just love it. And, it really has helped me. And, I was a dumb blonde (xD) and packed it on the container cause it looks like a BOOK that I read once and never want to read again. But, I packed it away. And then I missed it. =(
-My iPod. My pretty pink one. It's a shuffle, and it's so cute! Her name is Pinkie. Yeah, I know. I'm really creative...But, hey, it's pink!! Pink=Pinkie!
-My iDog! She is so pretty, and she plays pretty little light patterns on her head when I play the songs. My favorite is when she plays Irish Hymns. I love that CD!
-Notes and cards. I keep all of them. I shouldn't, but I do. I'm an emotional pack-rat.
-Stationary!!! I can write pretty letters...When I need to...But, it looks nice on my desk. =)

And now, I have to get back to my work...And, I know that I'll have more tomorrow! BYE!
And, please pray for me...I have more to pack!! I hope I can handle it...
AND! AND AND!
Pray for these things too:
1. That we can get a baby dwarf turtle.
2. That I can get a pretty beanbag chair soon!
3. That I can pay a LITTLE more attention in my school...I'm just so excited that stuff is here!!

JOKES!

TEACHER: I hope I didn't see you peeping at someone else's paper during the test, Billy.
BILLY: I hope so, too.

MRS. SMITH: Would you join me in a cup of tea?

Two little boys were looking at an abstract painting in an art gallery.
"Let's run," said one, "Before they say we did it."

HENRY: This poor street-bum came to the door last night telling me he hadn't had a bite in two weeks.
BOB: Poor fellow. What did you do?
HENRY: Bit him, of course.

GIRL (standing in the middle of a busy road) : Officer, can you tell me the fastest way to get to the hospital?
POLICEMAN: Just stay right where you are, ma'am.

DWAYNE: Mommy, why do you have so many gray hairs?
MOTHER: I suppose it's because you cause me so much worry.

VOICE: This is my father.

A little boy was given a finger-print scanner for his birthday.
"Son," said his father, "Did you know that NO two finger-prints are the same? Every one is different?"
After playing around with his scanner for two days, the little boy went up to his father and said,
"I have just proved Science wrong! I found three finger-prints, separate, that are all exactly the same."
"Whose?"
"Three people. One is YOU, another is Santa Claus, and the other is that rascal who steals cookies from Mom's Cookie Jar."

1st CANNIBAL: I always feel sick after eating a missionary. Why's that?
2nd CANNIBAL: Because you can't keep a good man down.

Good Almost-Lunch-Time!

2008-09-23T08:38:00.000-07:00

The morning started with Mom coming into my bedroom wanting her computer, and saying,
"Oh forget it! No one could ever find anything in this mess!"
I opened my eyes, and rolled over and pointed to the other side of my bed where Garzo (what I call Mom's computer)was sleeping.
She picked it up. I rolled over, and slipped back under my covers. It was so warm! I didn't want to wake up! NO! I argued with myself for about 5 minutes. It went somewhat like this:
I have to get up and start the day.
No you don't. Go back to sleep.
Yes! I need to greet the day! And the dishes need to be washed! And I'm hungry!
It's so warm...You want to stay here and you know it...Don't fight it, Verja!
No. I don't.
Yeah...Ya do. Just roll over and imagine a waterfall...Ah...You don't have to wake up yet!
YES I DO! GET THEE HENCE, SATAN! I HAVE to do this!!
No. Go back to sleep. The work can wait til this afternoon. You know you're tired.
No...I'm not.
You are. And you know it deep down. Go back to sleep.
Well, maybe...*snuggles down under blankets* NO! I'M GETTING UP! AND YOU CANNOT STOP ME!!

The positive morning person me won. I slopped out of bed, dragging the blankets with me. My mind was fixed on one word, and one word only: BREAKFAST.
I was craving cereal, but there WAS no cereal. So, I peeped into the fridge. There were two eggs. A song popped into my mind, inspiring me to make a Spanish omelette.

There are three eggs in a Spanish omelette!
Three eggs, three eggs in a Spanish omelette!
In a Spanish omelette there are three eggs!
So, I shall make a Spanish omelette!

And so, I made one omelette, singing that song all the while. As I flipped it, as I sprinkled the cheese, everything. And then, I was even more hungry than I thought, so I made another. I made them both where they had just a bit of toastiness to them...They were delicious!
Then I got started on my laundry. I separated all the piles. And then when I went to find the softener, and there was none. I thought perhaps I couldn't find it because I had just woken up and set to work, which can be dangerous, so I asked Dad where it was.
He couldn't find any either. So I just bleached my white clothes. And hung Mom's bedsheets and pillow cases.
Then, while the whites were --bleaching...I went back into my room and concentrated on my earrings. And jewelry. I unpacked my lovely wooden jewelry chest, and set to work pairing earrings and bracelets. Mom came in, and couldn't believe I had just got to work with my jewelry and left my bed a mess, and boxes on the floor.
So, I made my bed and cleared off my floor. She said that just making your bed and clearing off your floor makes it look 99% better! Like you did a LOT!
And now her clothes are waiting on her bed. All dry.
Now.
TTF TUESDAY WINNERS ARE:

PARTICIPATE THIS TIME, PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! I was like really sad... Nobody won...

Exiled...

2008-09-22T16:51:00.000-07:00

I would like to post a bit more than this, but...I can't. I have dishes to wash. I know how I will make it not as boring.
I'm going to take my iDog and let her play Irish Hymns and I'll sing along while I scrub. YAY!

I have made a commitment to try harder to be more cheerfu l even when doing boring ol' things like dishes. (Phil 4:4 has inspired me) I WILL be happy! =)

I got quite a bit done today. I folded all my clothes, and organized my shelves and hung clothes on HANGERS! YEAH! I KNOW! YAY!

And I even hung all my earrings in pairs. Mccel helped me. She would find one and be determined to find it's pair. She would. And I would hang it on my earring caddy shaped like a cherry. =)
She's going to be wonderful when she's all grown up. Even NOW she hates messes, and goes crazy if she finishes a snack and can't find a trash can. She will cry!

She's so neat and tidy. I should learn from her. As, I am not so neat and tidy. I mean, I'm organized in things like notes, and how my earrings are arranged. And my hair things and jewelry. If they aren't RIGHT next to each-other, and perfectly erect, I will go nuts.

I am also a bit lazy. Like now. I am avoiding the dishes!

Gotta go!

Arguing With Barney.

2008-09-22T07:03:00.001-07:00

So Today--
Hiya, Verja!!
Um..Hi. As I was saying--
How's about we go FLY A KITE, UP TO THE HIGHEST HEIGHT! Haha!
Yeah...No thanks. AHEM Today I plan to organize my room a bit mo--
VERJA!
Ugh. What?
You didn't include ME in your plans!
Hmm...*scratches* Why on EARTH would I do that?
Because I'm your friend! I love you and you love me--
Who said I ever loved you?
I just did. Love goes all around! We need to spread love and be nice to everyone!
Okay, listen up Mr. Big purple hippie.
Now, now, don't call people names... It isn't ni--
NICE? I'm not exactly nice to some fat, purple dinosaur. Picture this:
Pretend I'm one of the kids on your show and we're all gonna have a race. At the end we all come up to you, wondering who won. What would you tell us?
That you are all winners, of course! Haha!
So we all lost?
No. You are all winners because you tried and you had fun.
What about that fat kid still way back at the starting line eating cake? Don't I get something over him?
Now now...You aren't being very nice. Everyone should be nice. It's called caring. Caring rhymes with SHARING. So, when you race, remember to share the winning. In fact, I know a SONG about sharing and caring! Would you like to hear it?
Yeah--um...Think I'll pass on that, thanks anyways. Can I please get back to blogging now, Barney? Please go away?
Oh...I feel sad, Verja.
Good.
You are NOT a nice little lady!
Never have been. Go away.
Ooh! I'm angry at you!!!!!!
Bring it, fatso! I'll knock the lights out of the French guy inside you!!
OoOh! No, I don't fight! And there you go with the name-calling again, Verja. I said it isn't nice.
Well, I can't figure out any way to get rid of you so I can blog!! So, that's my only hope.
Please is a good word.
Yeah? PLEASE...Hmm...I said that, like right before I made you sad.
Oh?
Yeah. So go away.
I don't want to. No one should be forced to do something that they don't want to. It's wrong!!
Yeah?
*PUNT*
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Goodbye, Barney. And good riddance.
*lands in island full of dinosaur study people* Ooh! Look, BoB!!

So, as I was saying. I plan to do some work today. I plan to think up some good names for Netsirk's kitten.
I like the name Crystal or Tinker. How about you, Netsirk? lemme know.

PEOPLE! GO PARTICIPATE IN TTF TUESDAY! THE ANSWER IS TOMORROW!!

MY ROOM!!!

2008-09-21T13:21:00.001-07:00

There is a lazy horse on the couch. It's name is Hidalgo. And the little rolled up thing on the big awesome pink rug is a blanket that I keep on hand when I watch movies. And I roll it right back into a ball when I finish with it. And then I toss it on the floor.
The couch isn't mine...As soon as the owner comes and gets it I'll have lots of space to...FILL! BUAHA!
So I can't steal it. And I don't like it anyway. It's ugly. Ew.
So...Satisfied, people?

SIGNING OUT! BYE BYE!

Spiritual Sunday

2008-09-21T07:23:00.000-07:00

I ♥ Sundays...Something about them screams GOD LOVES YOU. Don't they?

I found this verse a while back, and I decided to post it. It is my favorite verse.

Phil. 4:4: "Rejoice in the name of the Lord alway; again I say rejoice!"
-Let's try to be extra cheery today! Everyone! Let's show everyone we meet some generousity and kindness. It's God's day, and that is what He wants.
