I Love Birthdays!

Hello again,
I'm almost 13 (9 days and counting!), so happy birthday to me! I had my party a few days ago. It was really small, just two friends sleeping over. But it was pretty fun. We watched Bride and Prejudice, which if you haven't seen, it's really awesome. Lot's of pretty outfits and people randomly breaking out into song and dance. We also decorated cupcakes and played Truth Or Dare (hand sanitizer became my best friend after I had to wash my foot in the toilet while singing Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne). Sadly one of my best friends couldn't come. So I decorated a cupcake for her. Then I ate it. Sorry! But wasn't it pretty? 

And of course, what's a party without styling everyone's hair in strange hairstyles?

This was a lot of fun.

My hair! (I dyed it again)

Aren't they marvelous? We used a lot of hairspray, teasing, and spiking glue. They still didn't stay up for more then 5 minutes. Which is probably a good thing. 

So long,

Veela

Nightcore Is A Good Way To Stay Awake!

Hey!
I am so exhausted I've gotten unbelievably hyper and everything seems hilarious. I'm also babysitting my lil siblings. That's probably one of the greatest contributing factors to my being exhausted. Another may be that for the past 3 or so hours we (Philip included) have all been dancing around the living room like crazy to nightcore music (aka, music that's been sped up and put in a higher pitch. I swear vocaloid nightcore causes brain damage! But I love it). Yeah the living room is kinda trashed now..... And mom just came home. Ooops.

Geeky TV Shows Have The Best Music

Hi,
As I come from a family of geeks, it should come as no surprise that virtually all the TV shows I watch are what some might call geeky (I simply call them awesome). And they all seem to have really cool music. Here are some examples:


Numb3rs



What did I tell you? Awesome music!

Warehouse 13



Pretty music. Okay, this is not the intro I like- the one for Season 2 is my favorite, but this is the only one I can embed. The season 2 intro is here.

And of course, the old favorite, Buffy the Vampire Slayer.



It's so sad when I ask someone if they watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and they say in reply, No, what's that, is that a new show? No. It's really not.
These are my favorite, music wise. Do any of you people watch these shows?

Bloodthirsty Camp Songs!

Hey guys, what's up?
I just got back from camp a few days ago, and let me tell you, I am so glad that camp ended when it did! I won't say any names, but there were a few girls who for some reason just hated me. That made for a lot of drama. I actually ended up switching cabins because of it.
This was probably one of the worst weeks to go to camp with it being one of the hottest weeks of the year and all. As a result, we had 5 hours of swim time on average. So my hair is now green. And not on purpose.... for once.
Back to the title.
I don't think anyone realizes just how bloodthirsty Girl Scout camp songs can be! Take the Little Green Frog song, for example:

Er-ee went the little green frog one day,
Er-ee went the little green frog,
Er-ee went the little green frog one day,
And his eyes went er-ee too.


Honk-honk went the big red truck one day,
Ker-splat went the little green frog,
And his eye didn't go er-ee anymore,
'Cause he got eaten up by a dog,
Arf arf!


Poor, poor, poor frog.... First few times I refused to sing this song.
Next song:


Going swimming do-do-do-do-do,
Going swimming do-do-do-do-do,
Going swimming,


See a shark do-do-do-do-do,
See a shark do-do-do-do-do,
See a shark.


Baby shark do-do-do-do-do-do,
Baby shark do-do-do-do-do-do,
Baby shark.


Mommy shark do-do-do-do-do-do,
Mommy shark do-do-do-do-do-do,
Mommy shark.



Daddy shark do-do-do-do-do,
Daddy shark do-do-do-do-do,
Daddy shark.


Grandma shark do-do-do-do-do-do,
Grandma shark do-do-do-do-do-do,
Grandma shark.


Grandpa shark do-do-do-do-do-do,
Grandpa shark do-do-do-do-do-do,
Grandpa shark.


Lost a arm do-do-do-do-do-do
Lost a arm do-do-do-do-do-do
Lost a arm.


Swimming faster do-do-do-do-do-do,
Swimming faster do-do-do-do-do-do,
Swimming faster.


Lost a leg do-do-do-do-do-do,
Lost a leg do-do-do-do-do-do
Lost a leg.


Going down do-do-do-do-do-do,
Going down do-do-do-do-do-do,
Going down. 


Happy shark do-do-do-do-do-do,
Happy shark do-do-do-do-do-do,
Happy shark.


That's the end do-do-do-do-do-do,
That's the end do-do-do-do-do-do,
That's the end.


Ouch. This song does not portray sharks realistically (and it has way too  many do-do-dos).
Moving on...

Mary had a little lamb who's fleece was white as snow,
And every where that Mary went,
She threw it out the window!
The window,
The window,
The second story window,
High, low,
Low, high,
She threw it out the window! 


Noooooo! Why? Why? Why Mary!?!?

These are all real camp songs that we sung at camp.

Nothing much to say besides Goodbye.

Hello.
Wow it's been a while since I've last posted. I've been pretty busy. Do you think the summer is relaxing? Think again! It's really not. Especially if you have to drag your sorry little butt out of bed before eight in the morning so you can go to swimming lessons. On the morning of our endurance swim, I honestly don't believe I was fully awake until at least the third lap. So glad swimming lessons are over. Until Monday. Then at Girl Scout camp, I get to "learn to swim" again. Like I haven't already graduated swimming lessons or anything. Do you people like swimming? I enjoy it, as long as I don't have to do so many laps in so little time.  I'm leaving Sunday, so goodbye.

Fibich and pictures!

Hi.
So I was going to upload these pictures, like, a week ago. But I couldn't find my camera. I found it maybe 5 minutes ago. Anyone want to guess where it was? It was, *gasp* put where it was supposed to be! No wonder I couldn't find it. Anyways, here are the pictures:

Philip loves having his picture taken.
I had my violin recital Saturday, and Angela filmed me playing, and I think I did pretty well. I'm glad I'm done with that Sonatina, it was getting a bit old. It's amazing how different a song will sound with the piano. Sorry for the bad quality video.





Like it?
