Hey! It worked!

Yay! Some people remembered to post!

Do any of the other people even check the blog? I would hate to think that no one sees what we write... depressing thought.

Sigh. So November is almost here. And I haven't decided if I should do NaNoWriMo yet or not. It's a big commitment, and I'm not sure I can handle the extra work I would put on myself on top of school work. And with the play and tech weeks coming up... my schedule is looking really ugly. Ugh.

It's Friday night, and I think I'm going to do some homework, but I'm soooo tired. Maybe I won't. I haven't done anything yet... Who knows, who cares. I want to have a good weekend, because last weekend I did all my homework all weekend long and didn't do anything enjoyable for myself. It's a hard balance to keep here :|

As you all know, I've been pretty busy. Hence I have not had time to do any Photoshop pictures. So I will continue to post MLP pictures to fill the void until I can get some work done. Enjoy these Halloween pics!














I love that last one. If you played any Legend of Zelda games, you would understand the reference :P

Adios,

Hey, I remembered

...to post! Wow! Though sorry, not much to say because my day to post is a weekday (duh it's Wednesday) thus I need to do work >.< how terrible. So nothing much new to say, just that we are doing watercolor in art and I really enjoy it! However I talk to my paints, which maybe be a bit worrying...? Ooo and what are you being for Halloween? Leave a comment below or in your next post :)
Ciao,
Ellen :)

Well what a great start we've gotten this year...

I definitely missed playing with my fishies ^ up there...

Just saying, it really doesn't motivate anyone to post when all you think about is food and hw and sleep and not going insane....yeah.

No, nathalia, this isn't de-stressing me. Now, I have to think about something to talk to electrical signals about. It's really stressful. ...whattosaywhattosaywhattosay.

...................................

...just so you know, I'm going to try and start saying MDR now instead of lol or anything. Maybe I'm just strange but mdr sounds fun.

You guys should do NaNoWriMo with me. Except instead of our goal being to write a novel this month, our goal should be to write on the blog. get back in habit and whatnot. (who the hell actually uses "whatnot" in everyday conversation?)

My dad and I had a conversation about how I would like to be a red panda. I would eat, sleep, and climb trees all day long. If I were feeling particularly energetic I would cause mass panic by escaping my habitat thingy (i would want to be in the zoo, they bring me foods and have doctors) and heading over to the gift shop. I think I would have fun trying to make all the little kids try making their parents buy me. Yea. That's the kind of thing I think about...

nomnomnom.

2nd Post in 2 Weeks

It's kind of pathetic. Oh well. Please don't forget about the blog, peeps! It's a nice little stress reliever... It doesn't even have to be long, just something. To make it seem like we still care about this wonderful little blog. Ok, that's all I can ask for. Moving on.

So glad the PSAT is over, and now we have a four day weekend! Wohoo! Except most of my weeked is pretty busy. But that's ok. It means I won't get bored.

I haven't had much time to do any Photoshop pics of the week - Promise next week I'll have an original pic to post!



This pic is to celebrate the release of IOS 5!!!




And see, that's the end of my post. Enjoy your weekend!

Early Post... Only Post

Why is this the only post this week? I mean, I know I didn't post last week, but... You know, this could be a good homework break. Just writing your heart out. So yeah. The reason I'm posting so early is because I'm not going to be able to post after school since I'm leaving to Oregon for a Tae Kwon Do tournament. Wish me luck!

Mornings are so tiresome. So are Fridays. Oh well, at least I only had certain clases 3x this week.

Why is there music playing in the lounge? It's too eaaaarrrrlllyyy.

Ugh. Losing inspiration.

I am not at homecoming

The above fact makes me quite sad.

ANYWAYS.

I want to go out tonight. Like, I want to go out and have an adventure. It's Saturday night people and I am sitting at home writing a blog.

MY LIFE.


Maybe I will do some calculus... what fun...

Oh well tomorrow I am going to visit the glorious Ellen and go indoor skydiving.

Speaking of Ellen, she is very funny when she is on pain medication.

I need an adventure. I want to go out and meet new people and do something crazy... like jump off a bridge. Or climb up a building. Or rob a bank.

Jk I would not rob a bank that is illegal and silly.

But seriously I am so full of energy right now, probably from the excessive amount of caffeine I had today, and I need to go do something awesome.

I want to go rock climbing. YES good idea on Katie's part.

But like, not, because who would go to vertical world with me at 9:00 at night?

Nobody :(

Oh well.

I guess I will just sit at home and watch Project Runway and House and maybe do some calculus.

COWculus... mooooo

Song of the week ---> Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri

Katie ---> out. MWAH.

I know I don't usually post... but y'all should post more

Like just one sentence. Or so. Yeah that's what I'm doing, because I have SO MUCH WORK TO DO. Mainly because I go to DC next week... yikes!
Ciao,
Ellen

It wasn't just junior year... it was junior year PLUS IB

That would be the title of a horror film, yeah? So anyway. If you haven't seen this movie, I DO NOT recommend checking it out, because it freaking SUCKS. The plot is interesting, but the stress is WAY TO HIGH and there is too freaking much going on. At least HW wise. So yeah.
Btw, VARSITY SOCCER WON 3-0 vs. BUSH HELL YES. It was wonderful. You should all come watch Friday's game. DO IT.
Okay, bye.
Bonne chance mes amies,
mon coeur est avec vous.
Ellen :)

I'm Alive...

In response to Cailyn's title ^

Anyways, I'm so glad it's Friday. Even though I have a crapload of stuff to do, at least I have the whole weekend to look forward too. But on a different note, guess what? I finished my last Swerve drive today! I'm hoping to get my license ASAP :D
Things outside of school all seem to be falling into place perfectly for me - drama tech, a tutoring job, driving, etc. So when I get time on the weekend to just enjoy those moments when I realize my life isn't so bad, I feel a lot better.

Also, I'm really excited to try out for Chamber Choir. I'm hoping I can get in, because I think I'm at the point now where I can truly commit more time to choir, because it has always been something I loved, but I just wasn't sure Chamber Choir would be my thing.



So Photoshop picture of the week. This is a background I made myself, using a repition of the letter N in a scripty font. The resolution settings got kind of funky, so it's a bit more blurry than what it originally was. It was a lot of fun to make, and if you want I can make one for you using your initial. Just leave a comment or shoot me an email.



Love you all, but I've got (homework) to do!

-Nathalia

History. 'Nuff said.

Sorry bros, check out the title. Maybe another day.
Ciao,
Ellen :)

OOOO, who's still alive??

Hey guys. So update on me?

I'm petsitting this cat next door (Jasper), and it's been 4 days since I've been going over there, and I'm going to go over every day ish for two weeks.

So...Jasper is an outdoor cat, but I've been told he should probably stay inside for the duration of his owner's trip.. Yeah. It's pretty exciting when animals escape. I think it's getting smarter.

Today when I went over, I opened the door as I usually did, trying to be really quick about it so I could get in and close the door before Jasper shows up, but also as usual, I couldn't and made a TON of noise fiddling with the bolt and the lock. So...jasper's waiting for me. I have to put my leg in his way, so he won't get through my feet, but that didn't really change anything for some reason this time. Maybe Jasper is more comfortable around me...but he zooooomed right on past.

I said that he was getting smarter, but I guess not that smart. He stopped, to bask in his freedom...literally on the door mat. So I picked him up and set him down right inside the door again. If cats had more prominent facial expressions...I bet I'd see one of my own regulars on his face. He was definitely mewl-ing the part.

Yeah. so that's Jasper in the picture. He always looks like that when we leave, probably wondering what the hell made us so special to be able to open the doorknob when he can't (he's tried).

__________________________________________________________________

On a more school related note (BECAUSE WE'RE BACK IN SCHOOL Y'ALL X_x)

What are you guys thinking for CAS? I'm a little interested in volunteering for an organization called Teen Link. If I was able to, I would be able to volunteer answering phones for their suicide help line. I think it would be really interesting, and I love being able to talk to people.

But yeah... CAS projects anyone?

It's about time!

It's about time that I posted again! Or anyone else for that matter...

So. School started. Pretty exciting, huh? Lots to think about, lots to do. I'm not a big fan of the 1 1/2 hour block periods, but hopefully we can adjust. I am however excited for HL art. That class will be amazing. And history. Love the topic, and I actually don't mind the reading too much. What are you all looking forward to in this year's classes?

Also, Drama Tech for this year's play, The Mouse That Roared, could use a few more members. The times are 3x a week after school until 5:20, but it's pretty flexible. And lots of fun - don't forget that! BTW you can do dance company and drama tech. So consider joining if you have the time, I promise you won't regret it. This also fills a drama credit in case anyone needs that...

Well, I don't have too much more to post, and I've homework to do. Sorry guys, no Photoshop picture of the week.


Have a good weekend! (I know I will!)

-Nathalia

Last Katie Post of the Summer

Well summer is almost over. I guess it's been really successful. I relaxed, had adventures, met new people, and played a TON of video games. I also made a lot of friendship bracelets... haha. We should make blog friendship bracelets with six strings and each string represents us. They should be the color of our fish (hehehe).

The fish are the best part of this whole blog.

I think I am the only one who really posts... Nathalia usually does. But OH WELL.

School is starting up. Are you guys excited? I am. I want to use my brain. And see my friends.

But we have to start thinking about SATs and colleges this year. That part is very stressful, although college life sounds really good right about now.

I am going to giv eyou a link to the Song of the Week from now on. Please listen to them! Music is a really important part of my life and I love to share it with others (trolololo). But seriously, do it.

Song of the week ---> Sweet and Low by Augustana

Katie ---> out. MWAH.

2nd to last KatiePost of the summer

We start school in like almost a week. Oh dear... BAH

I'm watching that 70s show... this is my life. no joke.

And I've been DRIVING!!! AHHH!! I haven't even gotten in a crash... so proud of meeeee. yayyyyy katieee.

AP calculus has started, as well as soccer. Calc is actually a ton of fun. Our class already has LOADS of inside jokes. Like... MOOOOOOOOO. MEROOOOOOOOOOO. and "cowculus taught me how to jerk!!!" I love math.

And soccer! Oh my gosh, it is so much fun. It's stressful, because I put so much pressure on myself. But it is so great to play the sport again and see all my sporty friends. And the new coach is just great. So much better than Walt! But Walt is funny and awkward so I like having him around. And the coach Jeff is cool too. He's a chill guy.

Also... The Help is a GREAT MOVIE (sorry Ellen...) I have seen it twice already this week... lol. So good. So you should watch it. It will change your life. GO. NOW.

I can hear a party going on in the neighborhood. A party I was not invited to. Dumb neighbors.

Song of the Week ---> "Death of an Interior Designer" by Death Cab for Cutie

Katie ---> out. MWAH.

Soccer has STARTED

Soccer has started! I love playing a sport, and I LOVE soccer. I am not very good at soccer, but I absolutely love the people who play! So much! And I feel like I've gotten so much better at soccer over the past two years, hopefully this year is good too. Speaking of sports, I have the opportunity to play fall ball (fall lacrosse) with PSS (Puget Sound Select - team Lindsay, Kelly, and Nicole play for). I really want to play because I do want to get better, but also I feel like all the people on the team are WAY better than I am, because I got worse over the summer (not kidding). On our FR team our coach is always telling us how to get better, and on my summer team they would never correct me or help me in that way, so I fell back into all my old bad habits. So I'm pretty on the fence. On one hand, playing would be great and I would get better, while on the other I'm scared s***less to be playing with people who have so much more experience than I do. What do you think? Feel free to help out with my dilemma haha. Anywaaaays. I just got back from Maine! Isle Au Haut to be precise. It is very wonderful up there. My cousin and I probably would've set the Guiness World Record for the farthest distance traveled by two people on one bicycle that was not a tandem bike. We had a lot of fun. I love hanging with my cousins.
Anyway, WHO WATCHED THE GLEE PROJECT. Oh my god. I don't want to give anything way in case you haven't seen it yet. But there is a certain contender who I LOVE SO MUCH (Cailyn knows all too well... :)) and it was the cutest thing of my life. <3
Alrighty.
Ciao for now,
Ellen :)
Oh dang I need a joke. I may give this up unless I hear a really good one to share. Sorry broskis (new favorite word). Joke would have to be Walter's various hairstyles (BHAHAHAHAH). Okay yeah. I'll only share if I actually have something now. Bye!

And it begins...

So we started AP calc yesterday. I actually understand it. yay.
Test tomorrow though, not looking forward to that.
Not much to report.
I'm heading up to the island on Saturday thru the next Sunday.

LOVE YOU ALL.
-Kylie

WTF y'all gotta POST

The point in having a BLOOOOG is that everyone should POOOST. I really want to keep this up in the school year as well. I know we're busy, but I look forward to this... haha... bahh.

I just made pizza. It was a quattro fromaggi (4 cheese). DELICIOUS. I'm going to bring it to eat during math class and I don't care what Mr. Pesce says. SO HA.

I am playing Harry Potter Lego again. I LOVE MY LIFE.

I went on a 5 mile hike up a mountain today so I can do that kind of unproductive shit and still feel good about myself.

My back is hurting. I am concerned.

I CAN'T UPLOAD PHOTOS.

DUMB.

...

Does anybody even still read this anymore?

Song of the Week ---> Falling Down by Space Cowboys

Katie ---> out. MWAH.

a taste of what i do every day

I am too lazy to write a long blog post today so here is a list of the things I have done recently.

1. Got my belly button pierced
2. Went to South Carolina and stayed with Maddie Bean for a week
3. Got stung by a jellyfish
3. Went to my friend's dad's wedding reception
4. Played Harry Potter video games

This is really short so here are some funny pictures.








Song of the Week ---> Roll Up by Wiz Khalifa

Katie ---> out. MWAH.

I'm feeling creative

Yeah. I'm in a creative mood. It's bright and sunny outside my bedroom window, and I've been stuck doing math homework for the past couple of hours, not to mention getting all my outlines and resources ready for a tutoring session tonight. I don't want to sit down any more. So that's why 20 minutes ago I got up and made a bottle cap. You know, where you put a picture or bauble and stuff and use glaze glue to seal it all in? Yeah, so I basically found a bunch of cool beads that I wasn't using for earrings and dumped them into a cap with glaze to get a rainbow charm type deal. I'm going to attach a clip and hang it on my backpack. Here's a picture of it taken from my phone:




Kinda cute, huh?


So I'm kinda miffed that they haven't posted the school supply list yet. Normally it's out by now. And I need to go shopping for stuff like, this weekend. Because then I'm gone afterwards to Oregon and California, and then school starts. And there will be no cute supplies left once school starts. This is a tragedy. :(

Oh! You know what, Glee the 3-D Concert came out today! I really want to go see it. I heard from people that it's quite good. I'm looking forward to going in the next week or so.

I just saw the UPS guy drive by my house outside my window. I got another Sephora package yesterday, with another eyeliner and lipgloss. Yes I know, how could I possibly want more. I needed to spend those giftcards though. Anyways, my eyeliner is coppery pink, by Tokidoki. And the lip gloss is clear, by Philosohpy. It smells like coconut and vanilla. Yum :) perfect for summer.

Anyways, Photoshop picture of the week. Not much done to this pic, taken in Hawaii. Just minor touch ups. It's a sign you see as you go to the Black Sand beach on the Big Island. We stopped by on the way to the Volcano National Park.




Enjoy your weekend!

Bubbles

Hahahahah so the title ^ I just typed a random letter into the the "Title:" box and on a drop-down menu, "Bubbles" came up. It made me laugh so I made it my title today.
Do you think bubbles would freeze if it was cold enough out? I wanna try it... that'd be legit.
I need to write three essays tonight. I NEED MOTIVATION. So I just bought myself this "Livestrong" bracelet. I am going to wear it now for motivation. THOSE ESSAYS ARE GOING DOWN. I mean it. For sure. I swear, you contact me any time tonight and I will be working on them. Unless I'm done with them. Anybody want to have an essay contest? Kylie and I did that once and it worked pretty well. I have my last summer lax practice tomorrow... next sport, soccer! Yikes we might have enough for two teams this year... eep! Wish me luck! I want to make varsity, but I'll convince myself to have a good time on JV too. Plus people tend to drop out of soccer eventually anyway.
Alllrighty. Joke of the week: Following Kelly. Yikes. Hahahah quite the adventure.
Anywayyyy.
Love y'all! I'll be in Maine next week - no computer, no phone, no Facebook, no electricity, LIFE WILL BE GOOD. I cannot wait.
Ciao,
Ellen :)
