The great room remodel of 2010

dun dun duuuuuunnnn....

Yes. I will *hopefully* survive this one. For the next week or so, I'll be posting pictures. Before, after, before and after, and intermediate pictures will be seen for you to gasp at and be amazed. I'll probably also be filling you in on what I'm doing for furniture and decorations, because the only things i KNOW will be in there are my bed, my dresser, my craft table, and my wall-mount shelves. Not much, I know. (and I DO need a desk... hmph. gotta find one. maybe a corner desk? *mumble mumble*)

So today I took pictures. Then I realized that my SD card didn't save them, and I lost the cord to my camera somewhere in one of the many boxes. which I didn't go through when I was packing, so I have a lot of junk I'm going to get rid of mixed in with the stuff I'm putting back in my room. *sigh* SO I'll be putting up pictures tomorrow. hopefully. maybe? I don't know.

One book to rule them all, one glue to bind them

I bet you can guess what I'm reading now! Yes! That's right! The Fellowship of the Ring. Woot. The fellowship is the book I have to read for my required summer reading for English II Advanced Honors, and I'm going to be taking a connections test.
"but what's a connections test?"
A connections test is a written test where you connect five characters/items/places.
The format:
1-2
2-3
3-4
4-5
5-1
simple, only five connections. but the tough part is, it's graded based on the teacher's opinion on your comparisons and whether or not you use metaphors and similes. It's a tough test.

Thankfully, when I finish the book, I'll be able to head on to different books, like Blue Moon: The ImmortalsThe More Than Complete Hitchhiker's Guide: Complete and UnabridgedThe Bar Code Tattoo and Bar Code RebellionStargirlMidnighters #1: The Secret HourElsewhere, and The Green Mile : The Complete Serial Novel. You may be thinking, "Gosh, that's a lot of books! That must take you forever to read!" but really, it'll only take me a few weeks.

Drumroll please.....

*drumroll* I made CHAMBER CHOIR. Forgot to tell you, and I felt a little guilty, but now you know :D Aren't you lucky? Yes, you are.

But aside from that....

I'm looking further into these time-wasting adoption and evolution sites. I've gotten more squiby eggs, and opened a dragon cave account and have gotten some eggs. I also opened a UniCreatures account and got myself some critters O3O They are so cute:)

Check out my pages and clicky the eggs:)

Magistream and other funky egg thingies!

So right now I'm at Artemis's  house (yes- not even being away from my computer will stop me from ranting at you!) and she introduced me to some awesome egg growy thingies on magistream.com. Soon she shall be forcing me to look into squiby.net , dragcave.net and unicreatures.com. I've never done anything like this before, so it'll be a new experience, and something more to blog about.

here are my cute little egg babies!




I'll post my keep to the side for your clicking pleasures:)

So APPARENTLY Artemis doesn't remember the muppets too too well. It's a good thing for youtube, eh? (I'm SO Canadian. No, really, I am.) Here are some of the awesomest videos we've seen today:

The Muppets Ode to Joy


The Muppets Bohemian Rhapsody

The Sims 2

So I've been having trouble installing my Sims 2 game (the basic one, not the expansions) onto my new computer. The disk isn't scratched too badly- with maybe one or two tiny squiggles- but nothing too extreme, and nothing I haven't dealt with before. It keeps stopping at 94%, where it's installing component N0010 in neighborhood 3. So I have come to the almighty decision: to buy either a new copy of The Sims 2, or just skip ahead to the next generation and get The Sims 3, and maybe one or two expansion packs. (And I think that is all there is at the moment!)

The expansion packs I have for The Sims 2 now are:

The Sims 2 Seasons Expansion Pack
The Sims 2: Open for Business Expansion Pack
The Sims 2 Pets Expansion PackThe Sims 2 Seasons Expansion Pack
The Sims 2: Nightlife Expansion Pack
The Sims 2 H&M Fashion Stuff

Yeah, it's a nice collection, and I really enjoy playing the games. But as I said, it's hard to play the expansions when you can't install the basics. And right now, it's getting fairly complicated and frustrating, because so far it's now at 0%. UGH. D:< So here is what I'm probably going to do, since I've been thinking this over by typing it out :/

I'm going to:


then buy the expansion packs:

'Don't shed a tear for me...'

'...for I am the symbol of our country's power and faith, and soon you will see me flying again, my colors anew.'

Yeah, I attended a flag retiring ceremony last night for a girl scout IP (intrest project) I could earn- a perfect one for our theme this year too- Star Spangled Summer. Although the ceremony is not meant to be depressing, and only a symbol of our love towards our flag, I sobbed. Maybe it was the fact that my sister talked so calmly, or maybe it was the fact that the flag (in the script) told me not to. I did. And even though I cried I would never trade that experience for the world. It was an amazing ceremony, and extremely thoughtful. I loved it.


I have new little bunny and birdie friends:) they are so adorable, and I will be so sad to see them off.... *3* but I love them!

My little bunny friends. How many can you count? I saw 4!
The... *prettier* pic of my friends. they are older now and about to leave the nest. the third one is below them... XD
My friends in the scariest stage of their life. they almost look like something from The Dark Crystal. What an awesome movie.
