Delightfully delicious.

So after redoing my blog again...

Wow that took some time.  I've been reading a lot of nail blogs lately.  As you can see, I added two nail blogs to the side over --> there. where it says that you MUST READ BLOGS.  But if you don't really want to read them, I'm not going to send Cosmo after you to chew on your toes for you.  Mostly because postage costs so much these days (Just kidding).  I was thinking about bringing back some of the old pictures of my nails and tell you how to do them since a picture isn't always helpful.  And, no, I am not going to tell you the exact colors and brands of nail polish we used, mostly because I don't remember what we used on them, but I thought it would be nice to tell you how they're all done.

Let's see what we've got:

These are simple (for an advanced nail polisher).  Just to tell you up front that all the credit for my nail polish goes to Muppet.  The only credit I get is for photography (credit for having pretty nails goes to the One who made me).

My fingernails here are just different nail colors.  This was Muppet's first time painting my nails, back in October of last year.  I couldn't decide on a nail polish so we did a rainbow of colors.  You may or may not be able to see all the colors so I'll tell you the fingernail colors from right to left: silver, black, purple, blue, light blue (it smelled like fruit punch), two different greens layered on top of each other, yellow (smelled like bananas), orange, red orange, and red.  You probably fell asleep reading all of that so to wake you up:

BLUE!!!!!

 Now tell me, what color is that up there?  Is it yellow, red, or blue?  Just wondering what color you think it is.  If you want my opinion, it's all of the above.  A primary parade.

Anyways.  picture two is my toes done the same year in the same month on the same day. My right toes are black and white, horizontal stripes.  My left toes are black and white vertical.  If you click on the picture, it should enlarge it.  But you can tell that I went off to do some mindless activity before my toes dried completely because you can see where my nail polish is tarnished on my big toe on the right.  It happens when you have your nails painted at your friend's house, you have fun and forget about your worries :)

Alas, she's off in California and is busy attending a wedding.  And I'm here with my computer and my blog (and my cat).  I went to California once.  A long time ago when I was on a cruise.  We had two long flights to California where our cruise boat was awaiting us to sail to Alaska.  Where we didn't see any bears...except for the big fake or stuffed ones in random stores or museums (lol).  It was cloudy when we went to California, though.  I think it may have even rained at one point.  But we drove over the Golden Gate Bridge and sailed under it.  That part was really spectacular, sailing underneath the bridge I mean, because the smoke stacks (is that what you call them?) folded so we could go underneath.  It was a ginormous cruise boat.  But not the new one that apparently is so big that it has an amusement park on it.  I can't imagine something THAT big floating in any ocean.  But if it floats, it floats.  There's no arguing with gravity.  Unless you're singing Defying Gravity.

I love that song.  Probably my most favorite song from a musical.  Not that I'll ever sing it to audition.  That's one of those songs that apparently everyone does.  Then there are those songs that you can't sing because the people you're auditioning for will start comparing you to the one star that sang that song.  For instance, Somewhere Over the Rainbow is a song that I usually can't stand unless it's Julie Garland singing it.  Even when I was a child it never sounded right.

Speaking of songs not sounding right, I figured out how to fast forwards through songs.  Like, you can actually hear it fast forwarding.  So when I'm listening to a song, either you can barely tell what they are singing or not at all.  On windows media player, right click the fast forwards button and left click on the box that says, "Fast forward     ctrl + shift + F". I tested it out on some songs (including Defying Gravity which seemed very sacrilegious since it's such a serious song plus one of my ultimate faves right now).  Some of the best fast forwarded songs were Queen and Taylor Swift (so far).  If you are really feel like you need a laugh, fast forward through the suggestions below:

John Williams' StarWars theme
Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen)
Life in Technicolor (Coldplay)
We Will Rock You (Queen)
We Are The Champions (Queen)
Bicycle Race (Queen)
Someone to Love (Queen)
Good Morning Baltimore (From the musical Hairspray)
Without Love (Hairspray)
You Can't Stop the Beat (Hairspray)
The West Side Story Overature
Maria (West Side Story)
Fearless (Taylor Swift: Fearless)
Love Story (Taylor Swift: Fearless)
Breathe (Taylor Swift: Fearless)
Mine (Taylor Swift: Speak Now)
Dear John (Taylor Swift: Speak Now)
Never Grow Up (Taylor Swift: Speak Now)
Haunted (Taylor Swift: Speak Now)
Enchanted (Taylor Swift: Speak Now)
Last Kiss (Taylor Swift: Speak Now)
Long Live (Taylor Swift: Speak Now)
McCavity (From the musical Cats)
Yes (Cold play)
Tim McGraw (Taylor Swift)
A Place in This World (Taylor Swift)
Should've Said No (Taylor Swift)
Oh My My My (Taylor Swift)
Tear Drops on My Guitar (Taylor Swift)
Anything Goes (From the musical Anything Goes)
People (from the musical Funny Girl)
All that Jazz (from Chicago)
Fame (from Fame)
I Dreamed a Dream (Les Miserables)
What I did for Love (A Chorus Line)
Sherry (Jersey Boys)
I Could Have Danced All Night (My Fair Lady)
Last Night of the World (Miss Saigon)

Okay this list is so long.  I have to stop now.  Just listen to everything in fast forwards!  LOL this is so funny.  Superclifragilisticexpialidocious is funny in fast forwards.  The computer doesn't think that it's a word.  Tear :'(

The First Homeschool Drama Club!

Drama club went well today!  There were quite a few people I already knew, some brand new people of whom I had never seen before, and H along a couple others who were new to Drama Club but not to me (including one of her sisters).  Our usual Drama instructor person was there, but only to tell us that she isn't going to be teaching any more Drama to us and that Z-man is taking over from now on.  I hope that maybe I can help with games and become Game Girl.  I haven't said anything to him yet but I would really enjoy teaching these new people new games.  Like the two different versions of Dead Beaver that I know or Captain on Deck!  Which I believe that Z-man knows that game, but I know a different version.  But they're similar.

Anyways, I don't know if you have happened to look at Chalkboard Nails at all.  It's basically a blog all about nailpolish, but the person who paints nails has some real talent.  Right now she is doing this 31 day challenge.  She's painting nails according to a certain theme.  So, today's theme was purple so she painted her nails to look like the purple people eater.  SO CUTE!

Well, I hope you get to look at those nails because they really are creative.  Like, I'm going to have to get Muppet to try and paint my nails like that, lol!

Hi.  For some reason the font is being funny.

I want to post another music video:

Ta-da!  I'm amazing like that.  WHAT'S WITH THIS FONT?

Hi.  Is that better?  I'm going to post some pictures now too.

What the???????? Blogger doesn't like me today.  It won't post anything else.  Let's try again.  

There we go. Wow.  The font.  It's weird. Look!  Pokemon!

 Yes seriously.  Cosmo needed to be included in the making of these Pokemon.  AUGH! THE FONT!

Now stay like that.  Thank you.  Ooh.  It's thundering.  I should go read.  It's the best weather to do so.  I like the font being purple.  I should label my last post.  and this one.  But I'm craving books right now. 

Here comes the Sun!

Ha ha!  That reminds me of this one sign I saw once!  It was sign for a church of some sort and it said:

"Weather forecast: God reigns, the Son shines"

So adorable.

So I saw Les Miserables last night.  We got the DVD from Netflix and watched half of it Thursday and the other half tonight.  It was spectacular!  Three words, Best Musical Ever!  The characters, cast, music... It was just awesome to watch it.

Blip Blip Blip Blip Blip Blip Blip Blip

Yeah, so I'm bored.  But I shouldn't feel bored.

I'm trying to finish reading The Help and label my blog posts.  I'm sure you've noticed that.  If you haven't, it's not that important of information.

I've also been writing, but you knew that.  Oh!  Today is May the fourth be with you!  We were planning on watching the third Star Wars movie...but our plans changed.  Yes, I still have not seen the third Star Wars movie.  I was too young to watch it the last time we tried to watch it together.  I think I could have handled it but I was just tired of my mom covering my eyes for half of it.  I want to watch the Dick Van Dyke Show.  Or Fractured Fairy tales.  But those are the shows that nobody else in my family likes except for my mother and me.

I feel like posting something funny I wrote.  It's from the story Diamond Gems that I was writing:

“Hey there, grizzly bear!” said the voice of a boy.  Both girls jumped, not expecting his intrusion.

“Harvey!  Don’t sneak up on me like that!” Diamond said, her face turning red.

“Jeez, sorry!” he said, “I just came to say hello to my favorite gem.” He puckered his lips for a quick kiss.  Diamond pushed his face away from hers.

“I don’t think so mister!  You know the rules at Youth Group.  No purpling.”

“Goodness.  Do you have to follow all of the rules?  Why not color outside the lines?”

“Maybe if the crayon was only pink; but my crayon isn’t going anywhere near your crayon and we both know that.”

“Okay, alright! I get it!  You don’t have to be so graphic about it!”

LOL.  Isn't it funny?  Okay, it probably isn't that funny...But I thought it was hilarious.

So I get to see Muppet tomorrow.  We're going to have a sleepover party thing and then in the morning I'm going to her church.  I guess she wanted to get back at me for when I brought her to my church.  But I probably posted that before.

But she's going to paint my nails like butterflies and cupcakes.  So I'll have to bring my camera to take pictures of them.  I don't think I've posted any pictures of my nails.  You probably are curious about how some of my nails turned out.  I can't show you all of them now because some photos are still on my camera but I can show you some of them. 

Let's see...

 Black and white stripes

Rainbow

 Black.  Notice that my toes are the same color and pattern.

Red and black french manicure thing

Red and black french manicure with white stripes

Awesome blue toes.  I think it's actually two different blues on top of each other

 Rainbow nails with black french manicure and rainbow toes with various intersecting stripes.  I ruined my right big toe's nail polish in this picture.  All of it was done by my friend Muppet's steady hand.  I had cute little presents for nails and a holly berry for Christmas on my nails.  I kept ruining my nails that night because we were watching the Nutcracker Prince that night and I kept falling asleep during that movie.

I'm going to Bodyflow with my family tonight.  YES!  My sister from college is HOME.  After that, I'm going to go spend some time at adoration.  Because you can't adore God enough, you know!  It's nice.  It's quiet and you can reflect on the past, your day, your family, your friends, you enemies.  It's kind of like meditating except the Lord is right there on the alter listening to your prayers.  Not that he isn't there any other time.  Because God is always listening.  I love Jeremiah 29:11-13.  Look it up for yourself.  Such inspiring words.

Have a Sunny day!

Poetry at its Best and Craziness at its Worst

I'm kidding about the at it's best part and mostly all of the poems I write, I have tune in my head or an idea for a song.  But I can't really sing my poems to you because it always sounds different from how it sounds in my head.  I just wanted to write a song/poem-ish thing so I did.

See my hands

They’re shaking

See my heart

It’s breaking

I try to hold on

But then you’re gone

Where are you

What do I do

When the sky above

Is crashing through

Are you really there

When nobody cares

You hear my prayers

And my heart that tears

Hold me in your arms

Keep me safe from all who harm me

Hold me in your arms

When I fear that you have gone from me

And when the day keeps dragging on

And when the world is going wrong

And I ache for that new dawn

Just hold me

Lord you hold me

See my face

It’s crestfallen

Hear my voice

It tries calling

I try to listen

But you’re missing

Where are you

What do I do

When I’m feeling

Oh so blue

Are you really here

To listen to my fears

As you draw me near

And wipe away my tears

Hold me in your arms

Help me see the love around me

Hold me in your arms

Help me feel a little more free

The world is filled with sunshine

But I just see the moon

Gently hold your hand in mind

I know the sun will come out soon

But for now

Just hold me

See?  It looks like a song right?  Or sort of.  It's probably not actually as good as you were expecting.  But I like to rhyme things.  I don't know, but I think it's better than the Black Cat song I was trying to write in my head.  Especially since I forgot most of it once I thought of this but I'm certain if I sit down and think long enough, I could come up with something just as good.

So I have a lot to blog about.  But too much for one post.

Okay, so my brother quit gymnastics yesterday and he's joining Drama Club.  It's really exciting news for Muppet but most of his friends at gymnastics didn't even see it coming.  They were very surprised that he would quit after so many years.  But he's not into his work as much as he used to.  I grew out of gymnastics around his very same age.  I quit two years ago because I was bored of homeschool gymnastics and I didn't feel like I was excelling much at all in it since I hate doing anything that requires me to be upside-down and I was also sick of the headaches that I got from tumbling.  But my brother was different; or more like his reasons were different.  He just was tired of always being busy and never being able to see his family.

Another thing that's happening is that my family is planning on a vacation this summer in which we get to drive up north to see some friends that we haven't seen since January.  I can't wait!

So I thought that wouldn't fit in a blog post, but it did.  Oh well.

Oh, so I remember back in the beginning of this blog I was all like "I'm going to call my sister at college Fluff!"  but I never did.  Because I don't like fluff.  Like the kind that floats in the air and lands in your mouth and you try ripping your tongue out just so that you can pull a tiny piece of fluff out.  And then people look at you funny and say something like "Are you all right?" as if you really did pull your tongue out.  Then you blame the cat for making you look stupid in front of everyone.  But I don't hate my sister because that would be mean and not to mention a lie.  An obvious lie since when she comes home and then a week later has to leave again I'm shouting "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COME BACK!!! I NEEEEEED YOU!"  Well, not really that much, but come on!  I'm an actress!  I need to be dramatic especially since it's been like a month since I've had lines to spit out.  Now I'm sitting here relieving myself from the stress of sitting here doing nothing but writing that I'm sitting here relieving myself from my stress while sitting here and stress and sitting and sitting on stress and poems and sitting and nothing and sitting on stress and doing nothing and...

AHHHHHHHH!  My train fell into my waffles and drowned in a tree called Blarney were the lagoon consumed the tissue paper making a Jack a lantern out of the pit in my stomach and calling for the fish that shouts out "taboo taboo" and Lady Ga Ga appears shouting "achoo achoo" and a giant ant farm explodes and Phineas and Ferb eat Perry the Platypus with chips and icecream in a classic dragster from Mario Kart Wii and then the rooster crows nine times signaling that Peter was supposed to eat his mashed potatoes earlier than six o clock in the morning of Christmas day 2143 when a colossal sock monkey named Stuff appeared and went up the hill and came down with all the bananas where Snow white and the seven giants went on a mission to capture a fortune teller by the name of Ray and make him eat all the sandpaper.  The end.

Now I must go do something besides blog before something worse pops into my mind.  And yes I know the font is purple.  I wanted it that way.

Kittens

Hi.  I'm back.  Again.  But you already figured that out.  I'm not really doing much right now besides doodling on Microsoft Paint and listening to music on Windows Media Player.  I heard rumors that I might be going mini-golfing later.  I might also be going to see the movie October Baby in theaters.

So far, I've been trying to draw a rose, which I just deleted because I couldn't draw the flower itself.  So I had a lovely looking stem with thorns on it, but nothing else.  I drew two cute kitties though:

Maybe I'll add to the orange cat picture.  I think the purple cat looks fabulous  Maybe that's just me though.  I think the purple cat is just adorable. I like how its eye turned out.

So I helped my mom with cleaning the house and folding the laundry.  I had lunch too.  But most people eat lunch.  Oh, and I also played Mario Kart with my brother.  He won...as usual.

So, I have this HUGE urge to write another story.  But when I opened Office Word up, I realized that I have no ideas about WHAT to write about.  So I closed Word and played on Paint as you saw above.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!! I love the purple cat!  I just want to hug it and squish it.  I want a purple cat.  Okay, that's enough from me about the purple cat.  BUT IT'S SO CUTE!!! MWA HA HA HA!!!

I said that's enough.

okay.

Yoga: control yourself you must!

I haven't heard from Yoga in a while, now.  Have I?

Oh my gosh!  That duck song is SO stuck in my head. Waddle, waddle.

I want to WRITE so badly!!! my fingers are itching for an interesting plot line.  I feel like if I'm going to write anything interesting, I have to turn my music off.

So I feel artsy today.  I decided that you might like to know how I draw cat eyes.  It really depends on what kind of cat you are drawing to determine how its eyes are going to be.  This cat eye is the kind of eye that the purple cat above has.

This should be a clear enough picture as to how to draw your cat eye.  Now YOU can make your own kitty eyes on Microsoft Paint!  Yay for kitties!
