Sunny Again

It's summer again outside. I have a feeling that it's either going to rain tomorrow, or at least once this upcoming week. That's what's been happening all June; but it's July now, so let's see what happens. :)

Just an update on what I'm going to be doing.

GHC. Girls Horse Club is having a 2009 Fiction Competition. I am trying to find a cool idea that I can enter. It isn't the prizes that's attracting me; it's the fun of writing it and the cool thought that real, published authors are going to be reading my work! :)

Fairy Tale Competition. Hannah at Aspire has posted that another blogger is having a Fairy Tale contest. Since I already live in my own fairy tale world (literally), I think I'll enter for the fun of it. :)

NaNoWriMo Idea. I had this really fun idea that I want to do for NaNo, and I'm trying to develop it (and keep it) in my mind until November.

That's it for now! I've got to go.

God Bless,

Welcome, July!

I just love this picture! :)

I just noticed it's July 1st! Three more days 'til July 4th, Independence Day! :) I've never really liked fireworks, but the Reveloutionary (I know I didn't spell that right) War has always been my favorite time period to study, and a lot of my favorite books are set in that time period.

So what's happening in July for me? Religious classes, Summer Reading Club, writing and (trying) to publish. Probably more that I can't remember right now. Very exciting, isn't it?

Back In the Rain

After feeling like summer for the last couple days, it's raining again. It's sort of cool and creepy at the same time. Cool because I like the rain, creepy because I've lived here all my life and it's never rained this much in June.

I've been resuming knitting, after about a year of not knitting. My first project was my MP3 pouch, which I made in an hour and came out rather lumpy. My second project was a little coin pouch for my little brother, which was about the same timing but came out much better. So now all I need to do is get back into the "stitch" of things, and re-learn how to purl. (I've completely forgotten.) Oh, well. I could try going to the knitting club at the library for advice, unless anyone can re-tell me how to purl.

My family, our Catholic friends, and some of our other friends went to see the movie "Up" in 3-D on Monday. I cried more than once. It was a really, really sweet movie. The funny thing was, I could predict a lot of the main things that were going to happen. Funny, huh? But if you didn't see this movie, it's really, really good. Heartwarming.

What else? I'm trying to improve my writing skills (and perhaps improve my chances for colleges) by writing little pieces of work and getting them published. Prayers would be much appreciated that I don't just give up and not write them at all! :)

So, back to school I go! (I love doing school while it's thundering and lightning flashes, don't you? [I'm not being sarcastic. Really! It's really cool!] )

God Bless,

My First Ever Award! :)

Thank you so much, Elrania! :) How did you ever know I was horse-crazy? ;)

I'm so excited! Yay!!!

Now I want to award this to my dear, soon-to-be-famous authoress friend who loves horses even more than I do...*drumroll*... Rachel Danielle! :)

Share the horse-craziness!

God Bless horse-crazy people and everyone else,

Long Day...

Okay! So yesterday was a very tiring day. First, we woke up for morning prayers. Then, we got dressed and piled in the car to go to my cousin's house. My cousin's family all piles in our car, and we head for her school, where she is to be graduated. It was really exciting; but I didn't remember from last year, when my other cousin graduated, that graduations can be rather boring. Here's my view of yesterday's graduation.

1. 
   
   
   We sit for about an hour waiting for everything to start. I read my book.



2. 
   
   
   The graduates march by as "Pomp and Circumstance" plays.



3. 
   
   
   The music teacher sings.



4. 
   
   
   The Principal gives a speech.



5. 
   
   
   The graduates stand up, sit down, cheer.



6. 
   
   
   Someone else gives a speech.



7. 
   
   
   The graduates stand up, sit down, cheer.



8. 
   
   
   Someone sings.



9. 
   
   
   The graduates cheer and go crazy, except for my cousin.



10. 
    
    
    Someone else gives a speech.



11. 
    
    
    The graduates stand up, sit down, cheer.



12. 
    
    
    Awards are given.



13. 
    
    
    The graduates scream and go crazy, except for my cousin.



14. 
    
    
    Someone else gives a speech.



15. 
    
    
    The graduates stand up, sit down, cheer.



16. 
    
    
    Someone sings.



17. 
    
    
    The graduates scream and go crazy, except for my cousin.



18. 
    
    
    Someone reads a poem.



19. 
    
    
    The graduates clap.



20. 
    
    
    The Valedictorian and Salutorian give speeches.



21. 
    
    
    The graduates cheer and clap.



22. 
    
    
    Some more songs are sang, and more graduates go crazy.



23. 
    
    
    I am more than ready to leave.



24. 
    
    
    Graduation.



25. 
    
    
    Slideshow.



26. 
    
    
    The graduates throw their hats into the air.



27. 
    
    
    We leave.

Then, we went back to my cousin's house and ate some Graduation Cake. (Boston Cream Cake... Yum!!!) We go to our other cousin's house. I read and watch cartoons. We all coo over the baby. We go back home.

It was all very exhausting.

And then, the blow. We reach home, to find that someone dumped kittens, food and water in our backyard. (This continues to today; the animal shelters won't take them, and our friends are looking for us too.)

We go to bed at... 12:00 or so.

It was all very exhausting.

So that's why I wasn't on yesterday. Very eventful, wasn't it? :)

God Bless everyone as tired as I am,
