The Liebster Award!!!

The Liebster Award!!!

I've been nominated for the Liebster Award!! Thank you Sarah :)

The Rules:

1. Link the blogger that nominated you.
2. Answer the 11 questions they have written for you.
3. Give 11 random facts about yourself.
4. Nominate other bloggers with under 200 followers who you think deserve the award.
5. Post 11 questions for your nominees.

My Answers to Sarah's questions:

• If money wasn't an object, what would you do?

I am assuming this question is asking what I would do if money doesn't matter, in which case I would buy so much stuff my house would collapse with the sheer weight of it all.

• What is your favourite book and why?

That is a really, really hard question. I have no idea what my favourite book is, but some of my favourite authors are Tamora Pierce, Kristin Cashore, Julie Kagawa and Fuyumi Ono.

• If you could spend the day with anyone (has to be a real person) throughout all of history, what would you do and what would you talk about?

Since I know absolutely nothing about history, I would choose someone from the present. I would meet up with Kim Jong-Un, ask him a bunch of questions about North Korea, hopefully get truthful answers, and hopefully not get killed. I think that would be a very interesting experience :)

• Sweet or savoury?

That's a hard question... Sweet, maybe? I dunno :(

• What five songs would be on the soundtrack to your life?

For many of the songs that I listen to, I don't actually listen to because of their meanings, but rather their tunes. For that reason, I can't actually properly answer this question. Sorry :( But The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars would definitely be on there ;)

• Why did you start blogging?

 I'd been thinking about starting a blog for a while, but when I finally started it, it was because I was supposed to be working on an English assignment that was due in 2 days, and as I was procrastinating, one thing lead to another and the next thing I knew, I was a blogger :D

• If you could be invisible for one day, what would you do?

Find people who are watching a horror movie in a crowded theatre, whisper "you're next" into their ear, and watch their reaction.

• What is your favourite thing to do with friends?

Shop, and have a whole converstion about nothing thats ends with us crying with laughter (literally).

• Most embarrassing childhood moment?

Not sure... maybe when I was 10 and I was attending a swimming class. At the end of that class, the teacher said we could go on the diving boards. I didn't actually want to or know how to dive, but I did in the end because everybody else was diving. Unfortunately, when I jumped off the diving board, my body was almost completely parallel to the water, and I ended up doing a MASSIVE belly flop, causing the water to fly up everywhere and everybody in the whole pool to turn around and stare at me.

• If you could live in any fictional universe, what would it be and why?

Either the Nevernever in The Iron Fey, the world in Kubera, or the Harry Potter universe.

• Fashion or comfort?

Both. If it's not comfortable then I am not wearing it, no matter how nice it looks, and vice versa.

11 Random Facts About Me:

• I am NOT a morning person
• I have never read or watched Twilight
• I love watching and being in nature

May I ask for your forgiveness?

May I ask for your forgiveness?

Um.

*nervous laughter*

Yeah...

I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY!!!!!

But let me tell you my excuses reasons for why I've been absent so long:

• I had a shitload lot of homework
• I am incredibly lazy
• Exams (which I've finished!! :D )
• Summatives
• My outdoor ed. trip (which was awesome, and during which I got a glasses tan, a neckline tan, a watch tan, and a bangs tan (by the way, the tan is not what made the trip awesome))
• My sis came back for a while
• My B-day party (which was a while ago lol...)
• I had a fever
• Life
• "I'll do it tomorrow."
• Did I mention that I'm incredibly lazy?

But school's out now, and so I can blog 'till you all get tired of me blogging :) Anyways...

SCHOOL'S OUT!!! :D  *does a little happy dance*

Nah, just kidding. I can't dance.

So check out what I made yesterday:

My new shorts :D

I basically just cut up my favourite pair of jeans to make these. Yup. The reason being that they were completely ripped up at the knee and on the inside of my upper thigh, but I really didn't want to throw them out because, again, they are my favourite pair of jeans. I guess I could have just left them like that, but I'm not really a fan of ripped jeans. So yeah.

The ripped knee of my jeans

I'm kind of proud of these, although honestly all I really did was cut them up and do a bit of sewing. But still, it's harder than it looks - or maybe that's just because I suck at everything? Yeah, probably that.

I'm also kind of sad, though. I've already completely defaced my jeans, but I don't think it's actually going to last very long. I've had these for years now, and so the crotch area is pretty frayed. Like it's just waiting to tear open at any moment.

And since we're on the topic of short shorts, allow me to show you the following picture:

*WARNING: VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED (I JOKE)*

You're very welcome.

Until next time! (And there WILL be a next time - I promise!!)

Help the Poor - NOT

Help the Poor - NOT

This is going to be a short post. It looks long, but trust me, it really isn't.

Today is the day The Forever Song by Julie Kagawa comes out!! :D I've been waiting forever. I can't wait to read it :)

And also, the cover for Marie Lu's The Young Elites was released a few days ago. It's so purrrty :3 But doesn't it look like the bottom has been cut off?

On another, less happy note, I found something...interesting. It's kind of sad, but it's very true. I think it speaks quite a bit about human nature.

People may say whatever they want and act all righteous, but when it comes down to it, does anything really get done?

Only a disappointing amount.

And I'll just leave you with that thought in mind.

Happy procrastinating :)


P.S. I was debating whether to name this post "Help the Poor" or "F*** the Poor". In the end, I went with the less offensive one.

Some People Just Piss Me Off

Some People Just Piss Me Off

At my school, every once in a while a geography class will go around the school and dump out all the recycle bins. Sometimes, other classes will take a turn too.

Today, some other class was supposed to do the recycling bins, but because for some reason they couldn't, my teacher volunteered our class instead.

We didn't really mind because it meant no work :) But there were a lot of bins, and we were a small class, so it took the whole period to get through the whole school. And there are also really disgusting moments, like when you pick up a bin and your hands get all sticky because an open bottle spilled who-knows-what all over the bin. And after you dump everything out, only to find that the bottom of the bin is covered with bits of candy, gum and various other I-don't-wanna-know-what-that-is substances.

Yeah, one of these things. Is it called a dumpster?

Anyhow, while my partner and I were bringing the last few bins outside to the giant recycling box (is it called a dumpster?), we found that one of our classmates, Sparrow (no, that's not his real name), was standing inside the thing. And then I noticed that he was looking for something in all those papers, and that there was this girl standing outside the giant recycling box, peering inside. My teacher, my partner and I, and a few of my other classmates were standing around, waiting for them to finish so that we could dump out our black-boxes.

It turned out that the girl had lost some of her papers,and she thought that they might be in the recycling bins that we were dumping out. The papers included her notes for a speech, something to do with her art summative, and something else. She said that they were very important and that she didn't think she could duplicate them, so she really needed to find the papers. And Sparrow, being a really nice guy, was actually standing inside the dirty recycling dumpster, trying to find her papers among the thousands of other papers in there.

And the girl just stood there, watching.

After a while, we were getting impatient, and my teacher politely hinted that if she wanted to find the papers faster, maybe she should get in there too. I don't know if the girl didn't hear or ignored her, but either way, she just continued standing there, watching.

To speed up the process, another one of my classmates jumped into the giant recycling box thingy to help search for the papers. Within seconds, he had found 2 of the three items. The girl thanked him, and my two classmates continued to search through the giant mass of papers for the third item.

And still the girl just stood there. Watching.

By this time we were all getting pretty impatient, and the teacher again hinted, though not as subtly as before, that the girl should also climb in there to search for her own papers.

And do I even have to say it?

Finally, after a long time, the girl saw the impatient looks my teacher was shooting her and took the hint. She again thanked the guys for helping and left.

And that's the end of my story.

Why did I just tell you all of that? Well mostly because the whole thing kind of pissed me off. If I losed something important to me, sure I might ask other people for help, but I certainly wouldn't just stand back and let everyone else do all the work. The fact that that girl just stood back, relaxed, and watched while two other people got their hands dirty to help her really irks me.

What, was she afraid to get her own hands dirty? So what? I wouldn't like it either, but you can't ask of other people what you yourself won't do.

And that, boys and girls, is the moral of the story.

On another note, this is stuck in my head right now thanks to Sarah ;)

Love ya :)

Deception >:D

Deception >:D

I got a package in the mail today!!! :D Aren't you just so happy when you get something in the mail? It makes me feel all special :)

The front of the package.

The package is from my sister. It's a present she ordered online for my birthday, which is coming up in about a week. I'm not going to open it until then. Well, I'm going to try. It'll be hard resisting the temptation haha :)

Anyway, as a joke, the package says "From Larry", which is obviously not my sister's name. However, my little brother actually took it seriously and thinks that some dude named Larry sent me a package for no particular reason. Since I don't know any Larrys, he's getting really excited trying to figure out who sent it and why. So now he's constantly saying stuff like "What if there's an bomb inside??", "But how did they get our address?!", and "Maybe the numbers on it are a clue!! But what could they mean..." and you get the idea. And being the awesome sister that I am, I'm just leading him on :) But hey, can you blame me? It's hilarious to watch :D

Don't worry, I'll tell him eventually ;)

XOX
