Ciao,

NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH.

^ nuff said. ^

but seriously, I've got such a terrible start. I didn't start formally writing until Saturday so I have to write about 3,000 words a night to finish on time.

in two nights i got to 6,765 though...so I'm not that worried. :3

Day off of School!

I have resolved to not talk about homework in my post today. Other than that one time I said it right there, that is it.
GUYS. How is life? Anybody feel like they can finally live again? It is WONDERFUL. I don't know about you, but I have plans this weekend and it is great to have something fun to do! I've read two books so far. Well technically only read one all the way through, the other one I had started. I read the Death Cure (sequel to the Maze Runner and the Scorch Trials) - it was decent. Not as good as its precursors, but not awful or anything. And then then I have Underdogs which is a compilation of the three Cameron Wolfe stories by Marcus Zusak. I was rereading it, but even so, I love Getting the Girl. Cameron Wolfe is a wonderful person. Anyway. I also caught up on Glee and Castle. DAMIAN'S ONE LINE WAS GREAT. Ha ha! I can't wait to see more of him. He's definitely my favorite <3 as Cailyn knows from my over-raving :)
Anyway... I don't know what else to say really.
And I haven't heard any jokes lately... which is a major bummer. Funniest thing to happen this week was the English class that Johanna played Jeremy and Stepho had to sing. Johanna was soooo funny, because of course, as Jeremy she had to hit on Mattie. Anyway it was a great moment.
I feel like I don't see you guys anymore! Except Cailyn because we have every class together :) )(but even so we should hang out). This is a major bummer. Maybe we should have like a bloggers reunion or something so we can hang out.
Anyway,
Ciao! Enjoy the weekend!
Ellen :)

So many words.

Yes I know it's late, but I have been working all day on my history paper and NaNoWriMo and NOT calculus because math is a deceptive liar who doesn't know when to be a fraction and when to just be a derivative. Seriously, bro, you can't have it all.

Since I have so many other words to write tonight, you get a very very rough excerpt of my novel.

" That Thursday night, like so many nights before, I found myself sitting at my window seat, staring into the night. I had turned off the lights in my room and everything inside was touched by the eerie, bluish glow of the moonlight. Outside, I could see the first signs of frost forming on the grass and the blades still swaying slightly in the October breeze. The tree tops above made a hard, moving black line against the still, clear sky, and as I stared at the stars, I remembered the days where I still believed in wishing. Wishing on stars, or wishing in general, I didn’t know. Neither had gotten me anywhere good.
Some days, I did think that I could wish myself back to when I believed. When I was young, I would wish on the same star every night until the clouds had come in for good. The day I stopped seeing that star was the first reality check of my life. My father had set me on his lap and told me through my six year-old tears that wishing on a star wouldn’t make something happen; I had to get it myself. Wishing on the star just made me want it more.
And now, as I looked out my bedroom window, staring at the star. I wished with all my heart that I really could wish. But it wouldn’t happen. Things had changed."

Song of the Week ---> Yellow (cover) by the Vitamin String Quartet

Katie ---> out. MWAH.

Dance Co.!

FIrst of all, I just wanted to say congratulations to everyone in dance company - you all were amazing! I appreciate all your hard work to put on a great show for all of us.

Ok, we have so much homework this weekend, it's not even funny. And I want to write a ton for NaNoWriMo, but that comes after my history paper. I just need more time to complete everything. GAH. As Cailyn says, IMMADIE.

Ok, thanks for letting me put that on the record. Here's how I'm going to feel this weekend:




Have a good weekend!
-N

This will make you happy

Go here: http://www.bing.com/
Go back three days.
You will be happy. If you aren't you have no soul.
Speaking of soulless, how about Turner and this stupid research paper??? Only kidding I love Ms. Turner and she had some crazy-cool stories, wow. She is a very impressive person! But I still don't want to write my history paper. Ick.
Anyway. NEARLY THE FIVE DAY WEEKEND. Goal=survive through Tuesday. Mission Impossible? Tune in next week to find out :P

Ciao, and GOOD LUCK!
Ellen :)

Look at me posting away

Helloooooo

I made my pumpkin a braceface, isn't that nice? hehe

Also, my costume looks... funny. Too say the least. All I can say is that I am adorable.

Something that really bothers me is when people dress up as things like Arab people or Native Americans. Nobody dresses up like white people so nobody should dress up like any other color of people. End of story.

Okay I have to clean my room and write my history paper and vacuum and not write my NaNoWriMo yet because it is not time.

Song of the Week ---> Lack of Color by Deathcab for Cutie

Katie ---> out. MWAH.

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,

-N

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.

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

idkidkidk

...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?
