Someone's Head Is Going To Roll For This!

Hello,
   I think the tittle describes my mood perfectly right now. The queen and I, well, we have much more in common than I ever thought. I could totally run around screaming "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!" right now.
   I just got back from violin lessons, and I suppose as a lesson it went very well, but it ended with my making a deal unintentionally with my teacher that results in my having to practice three hours a day for the next month. It started out with my teacher jokingly saying that I could play my new song for my recital next month, if I practiced five hours a day, everyday, until then. Well, let me tell you, there is no way in Neverland that I can play for that long. I usually practice for 45-60 minutes most days. Not Five Hours. Ever.
   So I laughed and said, Well, I couldn't manage five, but maybe three. She responded with, Good, then that's a deal. I'll call several times during the week to check with your mother that you're practicing that much!
Oh good heavens... what have I done!?!

Buh-Bye Cookie Season!!

Finally.
It's over.
Completely, and totally, over.
That would be the Girl Scout cookie sales. No more walking around in below freezing weather trying to convince people that they need just one more box of cookies even though they already bought a dozen from their grandchildren, no more standing out in the cold with big signs that read Buy Cookies, We're Cold. It's over. Well, for a couple of months anyway. On Thursday we had our last site sale. It was 11 hours long. In the city. Thankfully we weren't outside. You know, I don't think I've ever said Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night  Ma'am/Sir so many times in my life. But we did sell 61 cases of cookies, which is a darn lot of cookies. And we made enough profit that we can go on the trip we were planing, which is fantastic.
And I just found out that David Tennant and Billie Piper are coming back for Doctor Who's 50th anniversary special!! I'm so excited! Rose has always been my favorite companion.

Toodle-loo,

Spring? Nah.

Hello,
I don't think Mother Nature got the memo that it's supposed to be spring now. We have more snow now than we did at Christmas. But, my little brothers still found enough mud to come in the house coated with it. Either it's actually getting warmer (doubtful), or my brothers attract mud (far more likely).

Homemade Soda: Nailed It!

Hola!
I'll just state the obvious and say it has been a long while since I posted. So what have I been doing that has kept me so busy I haven't had time to post? Well, a lot of stuff. Like shoveling our huge driveway because suddenly the weather decided it was going to listen to all my complaints about not having snow and dump a couple of inches of snow on us. It's still snowing. I've also been keeping busy by procrastinating shoveling said huge driveway by doing random science kits. The one I just did was Soda Pop, Make Your Own Fizzy Drinks, or something like that.
I think it's been months since I've failed so spectacularly.
Instead of making soda, I made kinda a slightly fizzy syrup...  It's bad. Reeeaaaalll bad. And Monica drank it all.

Sim Went Squash.

I play Sims 3 quite a bit. A couple of minutes ago I created a new Sim, and she looked like she would be a lot of fun to play. My Sim went to the park, and then a meteorite fell out of the sky and squashed her. What. The. Heck.

2013 And The World Is Still Spinning.

Hello,
I am quite disappointed at this "apocalypse" that was supposed to be on December 21st. Mainly because of the extreme lack of zombies. Worst. Apocalypse. Ever. And I waited. I waited a good twelve days to see if anything would happen. Nope. And that, my readers, is because the Mayans didn't actually predict the end of the world. Their calendar just finished it's cycle. And then started again from the beginning. The end of a calendar does not mean the world is going to end. It just means you need a new calendar. Speaking of calendars, mine is still on July. I should probably fix that.

What did you peoples do on New Years Eve? It was a Lord Of The Rings marathon here, as it is every year. Honestly, I barely made it to midnight. I'm blaming the fact I stayed up until 6 AM the previous night for that.

Blue! Wait, Purple... No....



Hello folks.
   Ah, the crazy season of cookies and Christmas and holiday cheer is in full swing at my house. Lots of cookies. And pretty, festive lights. And somehow, during the midst of this madness, I managed to find the time to dye my hair. It is no longer platinum blonde. Now it's a warm, medium blonde, with blue/purple streaks. I tried a new brand of hair dye. It's called RAW Color, and it can only be bought at Hot Topic. I tried Deep Purple. I love purple hair.
RAW Deep Purple Demi-Permanent Hair Color

It looks like a really pretty purple . Let me tell you something, IT LIES!!!! I died my hair yesterday, and the dye just looked dark. That is perfectly normal. The stains I left all over the bathroom looked purple (which is also pretty normal). But when I rinsed the dye out, my hair was blue. Not blue purple. Blue blue. It looks good and all, but it was so not what I was going for. Today when I washed my hair, the water was all blue, and the shampoo's foam was purple. Now the hair is slightly more purple. This dye also bleeds into the hair by the dyed section. Just a warning. So my hair is now blonde/light blue/dark blue/purple/grey-ish blonde. Fascinating combination.

Ta-ta,
Veela

*Edit*

So here is what it kinda looks like. You can't see all the colors. And I'm upside down.

I can not make a duckface. That makes me sad.
