Happy Winter and New Year

Hi everyone!

I know, I haven't posted in a bit (maybe a bit longer than a bit) but I am back. I am going to start a little "series" about anything interesting or new that has happened to me during the day. But, judging by the fact I haven't been posting for a while, it might turn out to be something from a month ago. So, today I am going to be reading The Lord Of The Rings, watching some Mission: Impossible episodes, and drinking hot tea. This is not the start of my new series but this is sort of what it will look like. This morning, I started to goof around with my sister. Hair wise. Right now she has a milk maid braid. Before, she had other braids, buns, pony tails, chignons, half up half down... This list will go on and on if I don't stop blabbering. My sister liked it at first.
Then I tugged to hard, or brushed her too much... So eventually,
I had to stop, but I was having too much of a glorious moment.
So, I told her to keep the milk maid braid in for the whole day.
I would find her some hideous outfit after lunch and make her put
it on. Maybe, I should weave a rustic looking ribbon in her braids.
I know she would hate it, but she's my sister, she wouldn't protest. (I think)
I will be back later this afternoon after I practice my flute.
Ta taa for now,
Nina

P.S. Please comment or vote on the pole about my new design.

Don't worry, this isn't my sister. This is a milk maid braid

New Post and Everything In Between.

Hi everyone!

I know I haven't updated in a really long time, so I thought today would be the day. Today I am at home, sick. I am feeling a lot better than I was this morning, which is saying something. I didn't have a fever but my stomach really hurt and I had a bad headache. I had some Cop of Noodles for lunch today and some cookies for dessert, but that's about it. For dinner tonight I am having pork chops made on the grill.

To get to the more important stuff, two weeks ago I had an audition for The Nutcracker. Yesterday was my day of doom when I would get my casting call. To my surprise, I had landed the role of a party girl! I am very lucky to get that part because I am on stage for a while, and I get a beautiful costume! Not to mention I have five performances and all of them will be on pointe! Lately in class, I have been landing triple pirouettes and most of them are on pointe. I start rehearsals next week some time and I have a costume fitting soon too!

I started school three weeks ago and I have made some new friends. Halloween is coming up soon and I still haven't decided what I am going to be. I just began to read The Fellowship Of The Ring. If I finish by the time Halloween comes, I might be a hobbit. Plus, I have extremely hairy feet which adds to the whole effect. A lot of people have been talking about Halloween at my school, so they must be doing something fun for it.

Ballet wise, I got a pair of Freed Studio pointe shoes a little while back. I have already broken them and I adore them! I am not sure whether I am going to stay with them because they break down really quickly. My teacher prefers us to all have Russian Pointe, which is a brand I have already been fitted in and I really like. I wouldn't mind going back to them actually. I think I am going to get them a week or so before my first performance of The Nutcracker. That way I can break them in a bit and get used to them.

Sorry for all my rambling today! I am going to try to do at least a post every few days, but it is really hard with school. I hope you enjoyed my post today. Comment below of some ideas to post about later and I will try to do them!

Formally Me,
Nina

The Multi-Tasking Fiend

Hello,

You are most likely thinking right now, 'Who is the multi-tasking fiend?' I AM THE MULTI-TASKING FIEND. As I am doing this post, I am listening to Bolero by the Orchestre de Paris. Where there is a conductor who can direct the orchestra telepathically. I am also listening to my brother singing "Oh, By Jingo." Which is a song from the 1920's in a T.V series called 'Jeeves and Wooster'.

I am also reading my friend, Fenian's blog post from a week ago. My brother has now finished singing and has moved on to putting together his desktop computer, with no success I might add. Poor thing. He is now complaining that he needs my Dad's help, who is the computer genius in this house. In fact he just got a new laptop. Lucky. My brother has now gone downstairs to get some help, meanwhile I am sitting in his warm bed.

After I finish this post, I will continue reading my book for school, which I am already more than half of the way into. The book is called The Princess and the Goblin. It is a very good book about a little princess who meets a miner boy named Curdie. I think they have something to do with goblins. The princess has no idea that goblins exist, in the meantime, she is thinking about her beautiful Great- Great- Grandmother, who lives at the top of her house.

I hope you like the new background I put on my blog! Please comment on today's post and vote on the poll!

Ta ta for now,

Nina

The Tale of Erzebet Ellenmonosa

Hi everyone!

Today I wanted to post my friend Fin's (Erzebet) poem. Fenian just read the Harry Potter series and is know obsessed with the books. She sent me this poem a while back, but I just thought of posting it now, The link at the bottom is the link to her blog. Enjoy!



My name is Erzebet Ellemonosa

A wizard I have been

I entered Hogwarts wizarding school

At age of eleven

I have many tales to tell

All which are quite true

I have told no one of them

So now I shall tell you!

Dear reader, first, please be aware

These stories may make you stop and stare

And ask yourself, "Can this be true?"

It can happen to you, too!

It was a fine nice afternoon

I would have to leave Hogsmeade soon

But then I pointed, I stopped, I cried!

And listen, dear reader, for this is no lie!

If you traced my gaze, my unbreaking stare

It lead to Harry, Hermione, and the one with the red hair!

They seemed so happy

So nice and caring

I hope they didn't mind my stare!

But the wind was coming, and blowing fast

And I blew away, up in the air at last!

My feet were twelve feet above the ground

I could see Hogwarts, Hagrid, and his giant hound!

But as my height increased a ton

I realized flying this high was not so much fun!

I flapped my arms just like real wings

To no avail

Arms alone do not work; to fly, you need the real thing!

But suddenly I looked all the way down

And my pleasant smile changed into a frown

I was coming down alright, headed right for the ground!

I tried to stop my fall, tried to fly back up

To no avail 

I had no good luck 

As soon as I awoke,

I realized with a shock where I was

In the hospital wing with Mrs. Pomfrey

And my friends mentioned what horrible things she does!

From regrowing Potter's bones with a fowl potion

To healing common rashes with a mysterious lotion

I wanted to leave, to scream, to run

But my leg was broken, the damage was done

I drank horrible tea day after day

Whenever would my leg heal? Tomorrow? Today?

I got restless and weary

I wanted to leave

I was getting quite sick of that dreadful ghost Peeves!

Finally one day my leg had healed 

But a bruise remained, it was purple and teal 

The bruise reminds me of that dreadful year

But stories are not always as they appear

So my lovely dear reader

I do hope you were pleased

With my awful, true story

For which I was teased

And I hope you are careful

To know what is fact

Because this could be all false

It could be an attack!

But I am no liar

I am an honest, kind wizard

Whose playful charm went wrong

And turned into a lizard!

Hehe. Milo. Not too good for the camera.

In The Bathroom, Hidden. And Scared.

Hello everyone!


I thought that I should do a blog post about my narrow room escape. It started out with the Victorian/ Neo- Gothic hotel that I am staying in. My mom, brother and I are staying in one room, but when my sister and dad come, we'll get another one.

Somebody had checked out of the room a couple of days ago. So I wanted to check it out, thinking that it wouldn't do any harm to look in a weird Victorian hotel that wasn't mine. But was going to be. Then, I walk in to the room and immediately to the right, I see a caged bed! It really is a caged bed with some lace on the top of it. ODD, NOT EVEN. I am now thinking, 'What is up with this place?' I keep looking around in the room.

Next, I am about to get out of the room and my arm just barely brushes the outside of the caged bed. I just am about to leap out the door when I hear the inn- keeper walking around below. This is when I start freaking out. She comes upstairs and... I hide in the bathroom. Pathetic, right? She walks in and I think, 'What will she do if she finds me? Slap me?' She looks everywhere in the room except for the bathroom.

Lucky me.

I AM COW

Hi everyone!



Today, I thought I should make a post about a song that I found on Youtube. Actually, my sister found it for me. She finds everything for me, really. Right, back to the song. The lyrics are very funny and are about cows. While listening to the song, you see pictures of different cows or sometimes places. I will post the words to the song at the end of this post, as well as the link.



The thing about this song is that it is complete nonsense. I know what you are probably thinking right now, "Who the hell made up this song in the first place?" I should refrain from using such language, but I thought it was needed. Well, there really is no reason why this song should exist, but I guess the creator had nothing to do for the moment.



If you have already seen this song, then good for you. "If not, then we'll get to that later." (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban)



I am cow,
Hear me moo
I weigh twice as much as you
And I look good on the barbaque
Yogurt,
Curd,
Cream Cheese,
And butter's
Made from liquid from my udders
I am cow,
I am cow,
Hear me moo

I am cow,
Eating grass
Methane gas comes out my ***
And out my muzzle when I belch
Oh,
The ozone layer is thinner,
From the outcome of my dinner,
I am cow,
I am cow,
I've got gas

I am cow,
Here I stand,
Far and wide
Upon this land
And I am living
Everywhere
From B.C
To Newfoundland,
You can squeeze my teats
By hand

I am cow,
I am cow,
I am cow,

I am cow,
I am cow,
I am cow!
