That Sunny Day

Morning peeps! :D

 Wow, I never realised my previous post would get so popular! It's got two more views than my Ninjago Monday one got! So, anyone joining the #SpreadingChristmasSpirit team? :P

 It's been pretty nice down here since yesterday weather wise. :P It was literally spring weather, despite the fact we're still technically in winter. That said though I'm not going to complain too much, I'm getting tired of having to put on a pair of stockings every time I decide to wear a skirt.

  Friday was kinda busy, I went into town to do busking and buy my friend a birthday present. She hadn't been talking to me for a while, but I still wanted to get her a present, so I went to my favourite Chocolate shop and bought her some chocolate.
 Once I gave her the card she took it with even saying "Thank You", read the card, then looked at me with a tablet in hand and said "Hey, I'll show you my Instagram". I was slightly taken aback, and not mention surprised since this was the first time in two months that she'd said more than "Hello" to me, but hey, at least we're back on talking terms. Anyway, Happy sixteenth Birthday, Lulah-Bell!

 Jujitsu's been going well, I'm getting ready for my next grading, which will be for the red-and-white belt. I've had a look at the grading sheet, and it's a lot more complicated than the brown-and-white. I have to do all my normal rolls and break-falls over obstacles. I can do the forward roll over an obstacle, but not any of the other rolls and falls.  Reflexes are a lot longer now too, and I have no clue how I'm going to get them all memorized. Sensei Darren suggested sleeping with the sheet under my pillow to let it all soak into my head, but I don't think I'll do that... :P
 I've also been having to help out a lot of the new people and the white belts, which has been pretty fun! I've been correcting their technique and giving them pointers. It's actually amazing, I never thought I'd be able to do that. XD I'm glad that Sensei Paul trusts me enough to let me look after them... :P

 I went to Circus yesterday, and that was... well, meh. Yes, it was Meh. We had an extra two teachers there because my boss decided she needed to hire a replacement teacher for the day because one of the usual ones couldn't turn up that day, and then hired another teacher just in case the first replacement teacher didn't turn up. So we had way too many teachers for how many students turned up, which was kinda stupid I think. That said though those two replacement teachers weren't much help, they kinda stood around without any idea on what to do.
 I'm now not getting my stilts until the end of this term, because my boss "forgot" that she was meant to be paying me with them instead of free classes. According to how much I'm meant to be getting paid, I actually should have got them at the end of Term 1. But I know that my boss doesn't like me that much, and that she's trying to keep me for as long as she can because she doesn't have to pay me the same rate as she has to pay the adult teachers. So once I get my stilts I'm going to quit teaching. And then I'm starting something new... dancing, I think.

 Anyway, I had better go, breakfast is ready and we're going to karaoke with some friends. Damn, I forgot, I'm also meant to be having a shower...
 Can't wait to go out and enjoy the sun. :3

 Love y'all,

I'm 15!

Hey Everyone!

Guess what? :D I'm 15! :D I had my birthday during the week. ^-^ Shall I tell you how it went? :)

So I woke up very early. It was about 5 am, I think. Then I just kinda sat around, waiting for the hours to pass by.
 About... 4 hours later everyone else was up, and we got to open the presents! No that was exciting. I got a new skirt (pink with blue castles around the edge), a necklace, a blue eyeshadow and a green eyeshadow, and some chocolate. My younger brother Arden says he's getting me a late birthday present, so I still have one to look forward too! :D
 After that I had breakfast, then spent the rest of the day doing stuff. I checked the mail (just a parcel for dad), and then sang First Time In Forever and the reprise over and over again.
 Then my friend Drew came over, and he wasn't in the house for too long before I whisked both him and Gabriel (another brother) to town. We were headed for Koko Blacks (a really good chocolate shop) but we kept stopping off so I could introduce Drew to all the buskers in town that I know.
 We got to Koko Blacks, had a chat to one of my friends (who works there), got free chocolate, then I bought some chocolate, and we left.
 Then I literally bumped into my friend, Alexandra - or maybe she bumped into me. Anyway, by the time I noticed her she was nearly on top of me. I then followed Alexandra around for a while with Drew and Gabriel, and we listened to her and her brothers and sister busk.
 We had to leave after a while, as Drew, Gabriel and I had to get home in time for dinner.
 It was a very good dinner - roasted duck. My grandmother phoned up just as I finished, so I had a chat to her while everyone else finished off their own dinner. Then we had the cake and went to see Les Mis.

 Now, I was disappointed with Les Miserables. Hey, it was OK, but nothing what I had expected. The singing was pretty good, but it lacked character. But the set was awesome, there is no other word.
 But the first half was the worst. I actually swore.
 The second half was much better. I actually shed a few tears, which hadn't been expecting to do. xD

 I ended up getting home at about 11:30 PM, and didn't go to bed until about an hour later.




And that was my birthday. :P


Anyway, I had better go in a few minutes to write my other blog post of my LEGO blog. But today is music Monday, so I'd better give you a song! Hmm, how about this one:

 Absolutely hilarious. XD It's one of the best song I've ever heard, and the video never fails to make me laugh.

And here are my three newest edits:

I hope you like them. ;)

Catch you later!

Up Date

Hey All!!!


 So last week it was my brother's birthday! The young lad is now 7, and he had quite a lot of fun! He was also extremely pleased, as he got Benny's Spaceship Spaceship SPACESHIP, and he won't let anyone touch Benny. Or Wyldstyle. But he'll let me look at Unikitty and the Robot thing.
 I was also really pleased, because I got to help build the spaceship (it was mainly putting on stickers, but I got to finish off one of the bags!!). ^-^ :P

 We went to this really cool park for his party, with awesome swings, a really cool climbing frame, super amazing slide, and lots of trees!! Here's some photos:

 Above is the slide! Apparently when you go down it it's super duper fast, but it wasn't working when I went - I could sit on it and not move anywhere. Rather disappointing, but maybe it'll work next time!

 And here is the playground! I loved the swings and the spinning thing. I could lie down on the swing and stay there for ages, and the spinning thing was so cool - I could make it go slower or faster when I changed how I was sitting or standing on it.
 And somehow my other brother (the older one of the three) managed to get the soccer ball stuck in the palm tree (pictured above in the picture) and my Dad, two of my brothers and myself started throwing really thick sticks at the ball. We had nearly given up when it moved, so we started throwing stuff at it again XD. It finally came down, but something had punctured it, so it's dead now and we can't use it. I think Mum was going to buy a new one.

 On the way home when we walked through the park I was this really cool, mini, artificial waterfall! It was so beautiful, so I got out my camera and took a photo.

Isn't it lovely?


Yesterday I finished my essay on Love and War, and I also wrote a poem! It's been ages since I last wrote a poem XD. You can check it out here.

 On my LEGO blog I now have a new chapter of Rise of the Nerds up!

 And for Throwback Thursday (I believe that's what it's called!) I'll tell you all to check out my Hexaflexagon post on Unicorn Crafts and School!!

Well, I'd better go, I have tidying to do, more essays to write, and I also have to get ready for my belt grading (martial arts) which is on Saturday. Wish me luck!

 Over and Out!
