March Break in Review

Let's look at that list again, shall we?

1. Vacuum my room.
2. Clean off my table.
3. Go on the local college's website and apply for a catalogue.
4. Go on Amnesty International's website to see if there are any letter-writing campaigns, or something similar, that don't require a membership fee or anything. Also, see how much a membership would cost. (went to their site, but only briefly.)
5. Do a lot of laundry - which I've already started doing.
6. E-mail Stephen to suggest a summer youth service.
7. Dust my room.
8. Get Dad to help me reinstall Human 3D

Yup, Dad finally helped me reinstall my biology program! Yay!

I never got 'round to vacuuming and dusting and cleaning off my table. Maybe next weekend.

I'm staying home from church because a) I don't feel like getting dressed, and b) I don't feel very church-y.

Post-weekend wrap-up

Let's look at the list again, shall we?


1. Write another Awesome Quotes of the Week note on Facebook (including random quotes from Micaela, Emma and Vicky).

2. Listen to the second disc of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

3. Listen to The Legends of Classic Rock Sunday night.

4. Work on my Calorimetry. (worked on it while watching Hair)

5. Check Q107's listener club draws to see if there's a draw for a video camera. That way I can sing in the bathroom like Rin on the Rox - who just got their Youtube accound suspended! :( (didn't do that 'til today)

6. Pester Dad to help me get rid of the shortcuts for Human 3D so that I can reinstall it. (well, I pestered him, but he's going to help me with it tomorrow)

7. Wash my two favourite pairs of jeans (Dad wants me to wash his new t-shirt, too, so that he can wear it tonight. I guess he wants to wear it to poker.)

8. Practise singing in the bathroom when no one's around. I get embarassed if people hear me singing in the house. Maybe it's because Katie and Nathan used to tease me whenever they'd hear me singing along to something. Anyways, maybe I'll sing 'Hotel California' or 'Dream On' - I've been in love with both songs lately. (I sorta-kinda did, but I didn't have music, so it was terrible, so I'm not crossing it off)

9. Perhaps I'll start Twiggy Tweed, a purse pattern from Knitty. It's part of a KAL on Ravelry. I was supposed to start it a while ago, actually.


I went to the dentist's today to have my flipper re-shaped. Turns out that they had to take another impression for a whole new flipper. Dammit.

On the upside, I watched Hair Saturday evening, which was an awesome movie. I think I'll watch Labyrinth tomorrow.

The Weekend Thus Far

So, here's what I've accomplished so far...

1. I made room for my new shirts. Weird thing is, a shirt that I've had since I was about 7 or 8 years old still fits! It's a Northern Getaway shirt. I think their clothes are oversized and meant to be layered or something.

2. I took some kids' books out of one of my bookcases and I now have a pile of crafting books in it's place. My new knitting books will be in that pile.

3. I talked to my neighbour, but the job she offered me - watering her plants while she's away - has been given to someone else. Oh well.

4. I started a summer booklist, but I haven't put much on it. haha. Maybe I'll work on it some more today.

I looked over my study schedule, but I'm going to tweak it today. I still haven't sorted out my yarn, or gone over my algebra.

To-do list for the weekend

I have stuff to do before I resume my schoolwork on Monday...

1. Sort my yarn, so that my natural fibers are seperate from my acrylic.
2. Sort my bookshelves out to make room for my new books.
3. Put the finishing touches on my study schedule.
4. Put together a booklist for the summer.
5. Wash the rest of my new clothes.
6. Talk to my neighbor about something.
7. Go over my algebra???

Because I'm bored, and I need to write a new post...

I just posted a comment on Dianna's blog to add to the blog comment train, so I need to write some fresh material for someone to comment on.

So, how about another list?

Holiday Movies To Watch This Year

1. Love Actually (not for younger audiences)
2. Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas! - the original, animated one. I don't like the one with Jim Carey.
3. It's a Wonderful Life - just 'cause.
4. Elf
5. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Gotta love them Griswolds :)
6. The Snowman. Who says I'm too old?
7. Scrooged (Again, not for younger audiences.)
8. A Christmas Story - "You'll shoot your eye out!"
9. A Christmas Carol - if the black-and-white version is on, I'll watch it.
10. The Muppet Christmas Carol - because, although the black-and-white version is great, I love the Muppets. And Michael Caine was good in it as Scrooge.
11. A Charlie Brown Christmas - again, who says I'm too old?
12. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
13. Meet Me in St. Louis, which is a sort of multi-holiday movie, really. I might have to really hunt to find it on TV.
14. The Santa Clause, if Mom lets me watch it. We have the VHS tape somewhere.
15. The Santa Clause 2
16. White Christmas - my mom put her name down on for a copy from the library!
17. The Family Stone (not for younger audiences)
18. Little Women
19. Olive, the Other Reindeer
20. The Holiday
21. Mole's Christmas (The Wind in the Willows)
22. Miracle on 34th St (the original, although I don't mind the newer version)
23. This isn't exactly a movie, but I wanna catch the Mr. Bean Christmas special :)
24. Last Holiday
25. Shrek the Halls (another Christmas special)
26. The Polar Express
27. Not exactly a movie either, but I'd love to catch Robbie the Reindeer: The Lost Tribe
28. And the other Robbie the Reindeer TV special, if it's on.


That's all I can think of at the moment. If you have any other holiday movie suggestions, feel free to comment on this post with ideas. Thanks! :)

101 things about me

...Okay, so I borrowed this list idea from Sarah :p It's one more list that has blog-hopped!

Here's a list of things about me, some of which you might know, some of which you might not know.

1. When I was a little kid, I had to have a baby tooth removed because it was abscessed, or something like that.

2. Also when I was little, we used to go to the same Swiss Chalet location, every time. It was next to The Keg, and I think there's a car dealership on the other side. The Swiss Chalet that was there is gone now, and there's a Turtle Jack's there. I don't like Turtle Jack's myself... too noisy.

3. When we went to that Swiss Chalet location, I would eat the parsley garnish off my plate, and I almost always got a kids' Shirley Temple to drink.

4. While all the InuYasha fan-girls probably find InuYasha and Miroku cute, I actually prefer InuYasha's grumpy half-brother, Sesshomaru :p

5. As long as I can remember, we've always had a dog.

6. The farthest I've traveled was to Buffalo.

7. I used to daydream about going on a roadtrip with my friends, even though I don't have my license yet. I would still like to go on a roadtrip, actually. I just wouldn't take Erica. I'd probably take Holly, Max, and maybe Micaela and Riley. And Victoria if she can. And maybe my cousins Justin and Breanne. Wow, that's a lot of people!

8. I've been homeschooled since I was six.

9. I was one of the few girls in my year at Brownies who wore the brown uniform dress. Most of the other girls wore the t-shirt and pants or the sweatshirt and sweatpants.

10. When we go to this awesome seafood restaurant, I usually eat the lemon slice that comes with the seafood. I usually order either calamari or clamstrips, and an iced tea.

11. I hate polynomials.

12. I didn't complete Girl Guides. The group I was in was so small, and the badge work wasn't organised well, so my mom decided that I wasn't going back for my second year.

13. I'm actually considering joining one of the Senior Branches in Guiding.

14. I went fencing with the youth group once, back when Max was still coming. During the fencing lesson, Glynis and I had to sit and watch two other people fencing, and we talked about clothes. I told her about my black t-shirt mysteriously disappearing.

15. I used to have a necklace which had a metal dragon wrapped around a marble, but I had to give it to my brother. It had been in my sister's stuff, and when she left, I was wearing it, and my brother claimed it was his. I later bought a similar necklace, though.

16. I've blown out my left speaker :p

17. I have the first book in the Song of the Lioness Quartet, the Immortals Quartet, the Protector of the Small series and the Circle of Magic series, all by Tamora Pierce.



...I'll finish this list later :p

18 things to do before I'm 18

I haven't decided on the rest. Peace and love, everybody!

The GED book has been found!

I guess it was in a box of books. But seriously... was it there the whole time???

In other news:

  1. Mom and Dad are cleaning like crazy. I've tried to help, but I think it's best if I just stay far, far away right now
  2. I can't find my favourite SNL skits from the 70's on YouTube. Except for a really crappy video where someone is holding a video camera up to a TV. Gah. I just can't win.
  3. The dogs are driving me crazy.
  4. I'm not looking forward to my upcoming dental appointments.

A little list

I got this idea from one of my Ravelry friends.

Things to do when you're bored

  1. Watch scenes from your favourite movie on YouTube (I do that with Rocky Horror!)
  2. Go through old e-mails from friends
  3. If you have a cat, give him/her catnip and take photos
  4. If you have any pets at all, sing to them
  5. Listen to music on your computer while surfing the net, with or without headphones, and sing along loudly
  6. Make a silly avatar in Paint
  7. Play Solitaire on your computer (or any game) while listening to music
  8. Get your pets to do something silly, then videotape them
  9. Start a new file on your favourite video game, and change the names of the characters to silly names
  10. If you have your parents' permission, go through their music collection. You might find something you like
  11. If your library lets you send in suggestions for new items, go to Wikipedia, type in your favourite music artist, go to their discography and request purchases for every CD by the artist that they don't have. This can also work with authors.
  12. If you listen to music when you knit or crochet, make a playlist of knitting music on your iPod or mp3 player
  13. Make Jello!
  14. Think up awesome colourway names (I still need to do this)
  15. Think up awesome ice cream flavours
  16. Have a bubble bath!
  17. On Ravelry, go into the 'patterns' tab, click on 'experimental search', and search by craft (knitting or crochet) and a category (scarf, hat, etc). You might find a pattern you love!
  18. Watch reruns of TV shows, preferrably reruns from the first or second season
  19. Watch a TV show you loved as a kid
  20. Watch old music videos (on YouTube or TV)
  21. Spice up your wardrobe by going to the local thrift shop and buying clothes with a theme (punk, beatnik, etc.)

That's all I can think of... for now! MUAHAHA!
