I've also been looking at cosplaying costumes for Katara, and found a few places to buy Katara's necklace, and Yue's necklace, and Yue's hair accessories, and an Aang hat, and an Appa hat, and a bunch of other stuff which is plain awesomeness.
So, lately I've been reading (The Mysterious Benedict Society), cleaning my room (not really getting anywhere with that), and looking up fandom recipes. So I found a couple for Fire Flakes and Fire Gummies, but I have my own ideas. Sizzle Crisps, I think, are made of bacon and then have hot sauce on them. Fire Flakes are like corn flakes only not sweet. I think Fire Gummies are cinnamonney, and shaped like the fire symbol.

Today I am going to almost completely focus on reading. And cookouts. XD Tomorrow, the book The Last Hunt (by Bruce Coville, the fourth and final in the Unicorn Chronicles) comes out, and I am going to read it. So I want to finish the Mysterious Benedict Society before then, and also I wanted to reread the whole series before that book (The Last Hunt). So I already reread the first one in the series (Into the Land of the Unicorns), and so I have two more (Song of the Wanderer and Dark Whispers) to finish before tomorrow. Bleh! Lotsa reading to do. (Also, there's an A:TLA marathon this afternoon starting at two and ending at nine. So... Nothing much going on. No one here watches Doctor Who series 5, so no telling about parody of the Bohemian Rhapsody. I've had the song Living on a Prayer stuck in my head for the past couple of days. Been talking with Molly on Skype... PUTTY! Yeah. What were the words? Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!
Just finished Drift House: The Lost Cities today, and will start the Mysterious Benedict Society soon. So, yeah. Nothing much going on. Blah. Irish Phrase of the Day: "Ca bhfiul ata ar mo tuaille? Ta mo tuaille de dhith orm!" (Meaning, "Where is my towel? I need my towel!") Last night we went to the event at our church, called Music and a Message. (They actually had M&Ms that said that, so they were M&M M&Ms. :P) It was good, because a band from Bowie Church of Christ (unfortunately not David Bowie) came and played. Then our church choir or praise team or whatever you wish to call it played their songs. Darla does piano well...
When all of the music was done with, we had a mealish thing of ice cream in the back of the church. Mmmm... Chocolate, vanilla, and acid paper-tasting punch. All ice cream finished, we went back inside, threw out our trash, and played Motion-Sensor Escape. (Btw, this is Brennan, Addi, and my sister, Kaitlynn.) We did this by crawling one-by-one into the coat closet (which has a motion-sensor light) without making the light go on. We did this for a while, and defeated it. Then we tried a different game--jumping in and trying not to turn the light on. Brennan did it and turned the light on. My sister, doing it out of random, jumped in after him, and the light turned off. She then started yelling, "I have defeated the laws of physics!!!!!" It was awesome. Then Addi and Brennan left, and my mom got to talking with Darla, and so Kaitlynn and I started exploring my new iPod. She started playing the maze game and having fun with the motion sensors while I listened to Mull of the Mountains, Drummond Castle, and Cam Ye to Atholl. Good harp, concertina, and flute music. :} My mom eventually was done talking, so we went on our way home. I started listening to my iPod (which was having major issues. I tried to listen to Free Falling, and it started playing Hey, Soul Sister. Then Kaitlynn took it and listened to Free Falling for a while), and was oblivious to the world until we pulled up in the driveway of a hotel. I turned off the iPod and asked, "What's going on? Why are we stopping?" "Aren't you listening?" my sister replied. "Mom's been hearing strange noises. She's out there checking it out right now." Our mom was checking out the noises, and couldn't find anything. So she got back into the car, started driving, and I then heard the funny noise. "It sounds like it's coming from the left front tire," I said. "Left back," my sister corrected. "It sounds like something's stuck to the tire," she said, reflecting my earlier unsaid thoughts. So my mom stopped again and got out, but found nothing. My sister and I then followed her, and found a screw/bolt/washer thing stuck in the tire. We could hear the hissing (almost accidentally wrote kissing there). It happened that, across the street, there was a basketball court with a bunch of kids in their twenties playing basketball in it. As we started to bring out the spare tire, two of the guys came over and asked if we needed help. "I'd love help if you're willing," my mom said. The guys then started jacking up the car, taking off the punctured tire ("You can hear the hissing," they said), and installing the spare. While they worked, my mom asked the normal questions. "So, where are you headed? Oh, the cryptographic whatever museum, yes, I've heard good things about that place. You used to work for the Navy as a engineer? And fixing robots?" Eventually we found out that they were a group of mathmaticians who were headed to DC, and they can change tires. :) Sorry for making this post so long. :) Last year, my family took some dill inside and put it in a cage. Why? It had cocoons and eggs on it. So we thought all of the butterflies had hatched, so we put the cage downstairs (a few months ago) without removing the dill.
Just a few minutes ago, my sister went downstairs and looked in the cage. There was a butterfly (don't ask me what type; I don't know). ALIVE! So I just looked at it like it was a ghost and said, "UNDEAD BUTTERFLY!!! Yesterday was wonderful. We went to Long Beach Island (not to be confused with Long Island), and on the way we got hoagies. Stupid, stupid spell check doesn't like that. For you non-Jersey people, all hoagies are subs, but not all subs are hoagies. A hoagie is much, much better. Blech, subs. Well, anyway, we also went to Sonic (I<3 SONIC) and got a lemon-berry slushie each. (Btw, Kaitlynn didn't come because she and my grandmother have a cold/flu thingy.) Well, we got to the shore and ate the hoagies. We went up in Barnegat Lighthouse, and strangely, I wasn't extremely scared. It was like a wind tunnel, though, and I thought of Forlorn Point the whole time. (Forlorn Point = Where Linus Wynter and Connor Broekhart stayed after prison.) Ah, the beauty. Then we had a good forty-five minutes at the beach itself. It was cold, but beautiful. We must have picked up millions of shells, and they were all so gorgeous. I love the little sorta-transparent ones of which some are black and some are gold. Very pretty. Then I went into the water a bit, until I felt something under my feet, like a giant snail sucking at my feet. (That's actually happened before. On my last trip to the beach, the waves washed away the sand beneath my feet and there was a beautiful shell. I picked it up, and the thing inside started sucking at my hand. I screamed and dropped it.) In the water, I was going all Deep Wizardry and looking through the maps in the lighthouse trying to see if Caryn Peak was anywhere near here. Then I started singing Send Me a Song (I walk by the shore and I hear, hear your song come so faint and so clear, and I catch it, a breath on the wind, and I smile and I sing you a song, I will send you a song), which of course was fitting, as I was walking by the shore. Well, we had to go home then, because we told the others that we'd be back by 7:00 P.M., and it was 5:45. So we went home, and I started reading, and blah blah blah blah blah blah. (Btw, the dark side doesn't have cookies! I might sometime today, and Matt would count me as the dark side, but never mind that.)
Well, today I started cutting out the parts for a shirt. While I was cutting, I started to sit down, as I thought there was a chair under me, and sat down on the floor. I actually started laughing, though, not like Tom Levin. He started crying and gagging.
Well, let's see... I'm in NJ right now, and just got back to my grandmother's from visiting my aunt, uncle, and Sarah #3.
On Friday we went to the book sale at Mount Laurel Library. I got Forever Rose (last book in the Casson Family Series), The Birchbark House, The Game of Silence, a book on quilting, Wild Magic, Little Men, and two movies (Inkheart and Mama Mia). Then we went to Village Thrift (one of my fave thrift stores); bought a skirt, a shirt to go with it, and How to Ditch Your Fairy (book). On Saturday we went to the NJ Folk Festival with my aunt and Sarah #3. There were a lot of people playing, but the first ones we saw were Grainne (grah-nyi) Hambly (Irish) and William Jackson (Scottish) playing harps, a flute, a concertina, and something that looked like a guitar. It was beautiful. Songs I laughed at: The Hairy-Chested Frog and Drunk at Night and Dry in the Morning. Songs I loved: Mull of the Mountains and The Cuckoo. Good music. Then we went wandering, bought a tie-dye wunzie for baby cousin who's coming in July, a CD of the harpists (that sounds wrong...) for me, a bottle of water (or wuter) for Sarah 3, a blueberry-lemon Italian ice for my aunt, and a lemon Italian ice for me. After that, we went to see another band play: A folk band with dulcimer-playing people, a cellist, a violinist, and a person who played something like a guitar. It wasn't as good as the harpists, but it was okay. We went exploring around the college streets. Went to a book sale, found nothing, planted lettuce, hasn't sprouted... Yeah. Got home, cuddled cats, had really, really, good dinner and cheesecake, slept. Wrote a bit of Numair Numa Numa. "Hello. You page. It's me-- your mage. I have no idea if I'm keeping that or not. Maybe... Review! Well, let's see. I'll talk about Tuesday. And maybe Shadow of Destiny. I'll just do a review of that. |
AuthorWell, let's see... My favorite color is the very specific green, and I like it to be paired with gold, although I like them all. I'm also fond of all the Cadmiums and the colors Permanent Rose and Indigo. :D Archives
