A 30 Day Blogging Thing Day 23

Generally, writing/reading and listening to music helps me feel better. I sometimes turn off all the lights and that helps, too.

A 30 Day Blogging Thing Day 19 through 22

There aren't many things that annoy me...

Grammar and spelling. People who don't do it well on purpose is just bad. It's one thing if it's the Chinese people writing out instructions for a coffee pot, but it's another thing if it's someone who speaks English well writing out instructions for a coffee pot.

People who figure that when they break something, they can just get another one, or their parents will get them another. Our family was hardly ever that way. If Lizzie or I broke something, we'd pay for at least half of it.

Kids who have parents that will buy anything, no matter how expensive it is. Lizzie and I were always taught to save our money and buy the thing ourself. If we wanted it badly enough, we'd do it. That still goes.

That's it...I'm not picky other than that. :P

A 30 Day Blogging Thing Day 19 through 21

I was sick. Sorry!

Day 19

Probably letting reflux get so far. I just figured it was a bug and let it go. Bad idea. If your stomach feels like it's on fire, makes funny noises like an upset cat, and you can taste everything you eat after you eat it, go get a bottle of Prylosec and follow the distructions on the back. It'll really help.

Day 20

Moments again? O.o Okay. Go read the other post about it. ;)

Day 21

This month has been fairly normal. Normal for us means crazy for other people. I kept getting sick. Dad got two horrible migraines. (The chiropractor helped. No idea why.) I've been thinking that meteorology is a pain and that physics make much more sense (which doesn't make sense, because meteorology requires no math and physics is all math).

A 30 Day Blogging Thing: Day Eighteen

Probably my favorite birthday was either when we did an Anne of Green Gables type thingy, or when Shaanthi and I watched Harry Potter movies all night, or when Olivia and I watched The Village, Aladdin, and something else that I can't remember all night. Yep. It was fun.

A 30 Day Blogging Thing: Day Seventeen

I don't really have any favorite memories...Probably either being in my first ballet preformance (I kept my finger in my mouth through most of it :P ) or laughing at Alfred Hitchcock movies with Olivia, or being dorky about Harry Potter with Shaanthi. Yep.

A 30 Day Blogging Thing: Day Sixteen

Today is supposed to be about kissing, so I'm skipping it. :P

A 30 Day Blogging Thing: Day Fifteen

I really want to live in a tiny apartment in either New York City or London, or maybe just settle for moving to an apartment near where we currently live. Writing, teaching voice, and maybe be in musical theater would be really fun. Oh! And have a cat of any sort (named Helen if it's a girl and Nestor if it's a boy), and an Alaskan Husky (named Achilles if it's a boy or Penelope if it's a girl).

A 30 Day Blogging Thing: Day Fourteen

I got a couple days swapped on accident.

Each week should be about the same, but it never is in this house. :P I just keep catching bugs and stuff.

Tonight is a NaNo writing meeting at Borders. Tomorrow is hopefully babysitting a pair of twins.

A 30 Day Blogging Thing: Day Thirteen

More clothes...Weird.

I'm wearing an old, long, full blue plaid skirt that we got from GoodWill, and a plain old black t-shirt. And bright blue slipper socks without any pattern on them. I like plain colours.

A 30 Day Blogging Thing: Day Twelve

I don't carry a purse, exactly...It's more like a briefcase. :P

Notebooks, pens, a flashdrive, books, money, camera, granola bar, and gum all go in there. When we're going on a longer trip, the lap top gets stuck in there, too. It weighs a ton, but has all the needed writer-y stuff. ;)

A 30 Day Blogging Thing: Day Eleven

I have a sister who's gone through a lot of names: Beth-Anne, Elizabeth, Lizzie, Anne-Girl, and other more embarrassing ones that she'll kill me if I post. :P

She's about seven years older than I am. We look a lot a like, though. People from church used to get us mixed up.

We used to watch All Creatures Great and Small, Miss Marple, Disney, and Pixar movies together. There was also this game where we'd wrestle on the couch. It was really fun. We'd also play games with friends. When Lizzie got older, we'd also go to the cheap theater if there was something that Mom and Dad approved of playing.

Mom and Dad used to go to NANC things, so Lizzie and I would be at home alone. We'd finish all the things to do they'd leave us, then watch movies, cook, and play games. It was really fun.

(Sorry that this is a day late. It didn't post for some reason. O.o)

A 30 Day Blogging Thing: Day Ten

I wore a long, full blue denim skirt that Mom made. There are butterflies embroidered on it. I also had on a plain old white t-shirt and a sweater, and bright blue slipper socks with hearts on them. (My cousin got me girly socks. :P )

A 30 Day Blogging Thing: Day Nine

I believe in everything that the Bible says.

A 30 Day Blogging Thing: Day Eight

This is about moments.

I think that they don't happen very often, like what Stephan Sondheim says in Into the Woods. (If anybody's curious, the song's called "Moments in the Woods.")

Oh. if life were made of moments,

Even now and then a bad one-!
But if life were only moments,
Then you'd never know you had one.

A 30 Day Blogging Thing: Day Seven

This one's hard. I don't really have a best friend, but a lot of really good friends.

Olivia and I laugh at Alfred Hitchcock.

Ruth R, Joanna, Helen, Ashley, Shaanthi, and I play charades and sing.

Then there are all the people from NaNo, especially the ones in the Alien games.

And the people from Storytellers. We don't get that much writing done, actually...

A 30 Day Blogging Thing: Day Six

Every day's about the same. Mom and Dad keep telling me to get up at about 7:30 for about 10 or 15 minutes. I go down to eat breakfast, then clean up my room, get dressed, and feed the rabbit.

School's after that. Because of TPS and the fact that Dad's teaching me some subjects, and he has a schedule that has to be stuck to, we actually have a schedule. :P I have his subjects every weekday except Thursday. Mom's subjects are done every day.

Today I have German class in the morning, and Justin tutors math in the evening. Tests are normally done today, too...At the last minute. :P

A 30 Day Blogging Thing: Day Five

Love: A profoundly tender affection to something else.

A 30 Day Blogging Thing: Day Four

We like simple food, especially if it feeds everybody for 1 dollar or less. A lot of it's British, too.

Last night, we had Egg in Hole, fried potatoes, and fruit.

Egg in Hole is a piece of bread with a hole in the middle of it. You crack an egg into the hole and let it fry.

Day Three: Your Parents

Dad likes sausage, cheese, beer, debating theology, and teaching. He's a Latin, Greek, and vocabulary teacher online, and an ordained pastor in the American Association of Lutheran Churches.

Mom likes blue and white china, Jane Austen, homemaking, and music. She teaches music history and music theory online, and used to teach piano and flute.

Both of them lived in Missouri until Dad got a job in the Appalachian mountains that wasn't a coal-mining job. They both worked at a school. That's where Lizzie went until 6th grade.

Now it's normal to hear "Roma in Italia est. Italia in Europa est. Eygyptus in Europe non est. Egyptus in Africa sunt." and "Vivaldi was nicknamed the Red Priest, and sometimes, during a mass, he would get an idea for a piece of music and wander off to write it." It feels weird when no one's teaching.

A 30 Day Blogging Thing: Day Two

I accidently skipped Day Two. Haha. Here it is.

Day Two: Your First Love

Haven't ever had one. :P

A 30 Day Blogging Thing: Day One

Ruth found this, so I'm going to do it, too. (Some of the topics won't be very full. :P )

Introduce Yourself

I have brown hair, eyes that change colours, and am the shortest person in the family (barely; I'm catching up with Mom :P ).

Books, writing, music, movies, sewing, cleaning, school, and talking to friends are all fun things to do. Romance is disgusting, and explosions are cool. I don't like lighting matches, but want to make napalm. That doesn't go well together. :P Candles are good, too. I got a long-handled lighter thing because matches are scary.

I have a mom, dad, sister (Lizzie), brother-in-law (Justin) cat (Felix), and rabbit (Velvet; anybody want her?).
