Wow. I haven't posted in a while! I NEED to update you on some things!
First off, starting today, I've been volunteering at my church's vacation bible school. I'm doing the games as usual. This year's theme is Babylon. I would've picked Middle-earth, but hey, that's me.
Next week, I will be away at camp for a week, so probably no internet access. HOW WILL I SURVIVE?!?!? xD Speaking of which, I painted a sign last night to set outside of my tent. It says "Speak friend and enter" in Lord of the Rings inspired calligraphy. It looks pretty great. The phrase comes from The Fellowship of the Ring. It was written in elvish on the gate at the Mines of Moria. I'll add a picture as soon as one becomes available!
I've been listening to music like CRAZY lately, so I wanted to share with you some of my top picks! These are songs that I've had in my head ALL WEEK.
5. Florence + the Machine "Spectrum"
I. LOVE. THIS. SONG.
4. Valentines "Buttercup"
I actually first found this as a joke (long story), but I really love this song now. Also, Bon Scott of AC/DC is in this version which adds to the awesomeness. I haven't been able to get it out of my head, and I'll just start singing it randomly at stores. xD
3. Alice Cooper "Hey Stoopid"
Don't ask.
2. Alice Cooper "Go To Hell"
If you like Lady Gaga for her onstage antics, you'll probably love Alice Cooper. You actually have probably heard an Alice Cooper song before without knowing it (ever hear "School's Out"?). This is my favorite song of his. Believe it or not, he's actually very normal offstage.
1. Florence + the Machine "Only If For A Night"
And the top spot goes to Florence + the Machine! This song has been playing in my head all. day. long.
Good news, my friends! I took all three of my Skills for Health finals, the multiple choice half of my Honors English II finals, and the entire Honors World History final. They were sooo much easier than I thought they'd be! I got a 100% on my history, english, and two of my health tests. (On the other health test, I only missed 1!)
As you know, I'm cyberschooled, so this means I will be able to finish school early! I thought the finals would be much harder, and I've been dreading them for weeks. A HUGE weight has been lifted from my shoulders, and I can now finally enjoy my upcoming summer vacation! :D
My. Brain. Is. Frazzled. SOOOOOO much schoolwork! I don't think summer vacation will ever come!
My finals are next week, I have to complete a 10 minute long short movie (which I am 80% done with. Thank goodness!), and myy room is a disaster! My life is crazy.
Anyway, I have decided that I would like my first home to be a hobbit hole. Sigh, I can see it now... My human's father actually loves the idea as well, so who knows? Maybe she could get him to build her a hobbit hole when she needs her own place. :D One can dream...
It's just such a brilliant idea. Hobbit holes are ADORABLE, and (for you freakish enviromentalists) since it's underground, there would be no need for air conditioning or heat. In the summer it would stay cool and it the winter it would be warm. The pizza guy would have NO problem finding your house. "Yeah, it's the one with the round door and the lawn mower and the roof. You can't miss it!"
Here is Bag End (Bilbo and Frodo's home). I would love to live there...
