November In Review

SPADE LIST ITEMS COMPLETED -

Numero 3 :)

PROJECT #365 PHOTOS TAKEN -

Day 334 - I Love Snow!

I love snow... and sunsets... and the combination of both!! The snow is a mighty hassle sometimes, but ya gotta love it. Snowmen, and sledding... WIN!

I kinda like how at dusk, the snow still seems rather white compared to everything else, and the night scenery then is really high contrast. I dunno, it just amuses me! :)

Day 333 - Lol At You.

Oh lol at this boy. Yes, Adam, lol at you.

Today he decided he was going to walk from his house to Michelles, which is approximately 15 miles. Thankfully I was able to lift him part way there so he didn't die on the road. If he did die I would be very upset you see! So I ended up also walking a wee bit to Michelle's house, and we just hung out all the evening. It was good bant indeed!! :)

Here are some pictures from the evening of us just chilling and eating waffles and Choco Duo...

Now I was challenged that if I would put a certain photo of me up today as picture of the day, I would receive 500 points and a mystery gift.... so here it is for the internet to see... MY AWKWARD FACE -

BOOM! FIVE HUNDRED POINTS AND A MYSTERY GIFT ARE MINE!!

...oh gosh. :/

Day 332 - Last Day.

Today all the family came down again one last time before the Americans head back over the pond. I'm gonna miss this kid. She's been a lot of fun to have around! The accent reminds me of all my American friends :):)

Day 331 - Brrrrr...

It is cold outside... like reeaaallly cold, but it kinda works - we just use outside as our fridge when its full up now! WIN.

Day 330 - Coke.. FLOAT!

Coke float!! :D This photo makes me laugh! Date with the boyfriend tonight... we went for a good big walk and talk in Newcastle which was nice :)

Exams are on at the minute... they're going well... NOT. Ah well, they're only mocks.

Day 329 - Coke, I Am Dissapoint.

Mmmmmm, lemon and Coke! I miss when you used to be able to buy all the varients of Coke, Vanilla Coke, Coke with lemon or lime etc etc etc. Where have they all gone? It's kinda disappointing.

But hey, would you look at that? It's one month until Christmas!

Day 328 - I I I I I I Like Your Cooooconuts!

One thing I didn't mention about yesterday is that my boyfriend turned up to surprise me, carrying gifts of Topshop socks and a coconut. :) Naturally the thing to do was make coconut icecream.. which we SUCCEEDED IN DOING!! BOOM!We decided that the opened up coconut kinda looked like a person, so I just had to add some eyes on :P

Day 327 - Light Painting.

Light painting... this is something I've been meaning to do for a while. So when my cousin came down today to stay overnight, I thought this would be some great family bonding time! And I turned out to be correct! We took a lot of photographs with the torch making different shapes, but I thought I would just upload the ones of our names... 'cause they were pretty cool. :) I hope you enjoy these. If you have a tripod and a camera with manual mode, I would definitely recommend going out and giving it a try! :)

Day 326 - MOO.

Yesterday I did the grand task of colouring in! :) And this is the result! I'm pretty darn pleased with that. I FREAKING LOVE COLOURING.Plus it's a parachuting cow. That's one pretty cool colouring book.

Day 325 - Howdy Y'all!

I love having American relatives! This is my cousin Ashley, who is over for a couple of weeks. :) I love hearing that accent all the time, it makes me smile.I'm sorry I haven't been writing much recently... I've been tired.

Day 324 - Like Potatoes...

Friends are like potatoes, if you eat them, they DIE.

I feel that's an appropriate quote here... HEY LOOK! IT'S A POTATO SHAPED LIKE A HEART!!!

Day 323 - Engrossed.

This is a pic of the bro playing the X-Box. He hates me taking pictures of him... but he's so engrossed he doesn't even notice ;)Assassin's Creed, I'm presuming.

Day 322 - My Cat Has Skillz.

This photo makes me laugh! That is my thigh... Frodo decided that he would spend this afternoon climbing up my leg and onto my shoulder - a skill it would seem Michelle taught him when he was younger, and living at her house. I now have paw prints all over my jeans and scratches all over my leg! Still funny though... :D

Day 321 - Another Flower Pic.

These flowers are often seen round my house. My mum loves them, so they're often bought. They are really pretty! :)

Day 320 - Lampshade.

"I love lamp." - Brick.

Day 319 -The Proverbial Sunrise...

I watched the proverbial sunrise
Coming up over the Pacific and
You might think I'm losing my mind,
But I will shy away from the specifics...

These are just some lyrics to a song I like... it's a good song, in my opinion anyway.
Check out how amazing the sunrise was this morning. It was really beautiful. I just about had enough time to get some snaps. :)

Day 318 - Meow.

This is Frodo! He's my new kitten, and he is adorable. I took like a billion photos of him this evening, cause he's very cute, but I'm only gonna upload one of them 'cause I'm really just lazy.I've missed having a cat since my last one died, I'm happy I've got a new one! :)

Day 317 - After The Storm...

“After winter comes the summer. After night comes the dawn. After every storm, there comes clear, open skies.”The quote is very true, in both a physical and metaphorical sense. Everything will be okay in the end... if it's not okay, it's not the end.

Day 316 - Another Reason.

Want to know another reason why my friends are awesome? They surprise me with little gifts... such as this Gary the Snail toy, and the other little blue monster pictured in front of it. It's the little things...

Incase you haven't realised from these recent posts... I love my friends.

Day 315 - POPPADUM!

POPPADUM! I was at the local Indian restaurant tonight with these two lovely fellas, Leahy and Patrick, and the lovely Michelle. This was the only photo I took tonight, so I'm just gonna use it. Haha I had a great night, the restaurant, Spice Fusion, is great, I had Tandoori chicken and it was nom nom nomish!I absolutely love my friends. I love hanging out with them like this... this is the life :)

Also.... it's Remembrance day today. We will remember them.

Day 314 - Chiaroscuro.

Well, yeah, I did take a picture of a chair!! It's because I was standing on the stairs above it and noticed the 'chiaroscuro' lighting, so I thought hey, I should take a photograph of this, adjusting the aperture to make it just right... oh yeah, check me and my photography language out!! BOOM!! Talking in camera language is fun, it makes me feel intelligent and creative!;)

Day 313 - "Oushaaaa!!!!"

I was at karate tonight, taking some pictures for my art. This is one of Booms which I have converted to black and white and boosted the contrast. I'm planning to do some fun things with Photoshop with these!! :DHere's a joke for ya - How many black belts does it take to change a light bulb?

10 - one to change it and 9 to say "that's not how my Sensei taught me!"

Being a black belt... I find this to be hilarious and totally true!!

Day 312 - "Fox On The Run"

This is called a 'foxtail', its a baseball with a long piece of fabric attached, it's a lot of fun, but it's been lying in our garage for ages. Oh school... I'm sick of it. Roll on Christmas holidays!

Day 311 - Dresses :)

Today I was at my cousins house and we started trying on formal dresses and my little sister felt left out so Emma gave her one of her short dresses and tied a scarf round her waist... it was funny!

Day 310 - Golden Doors!

Patrick's movie night was a lot of fun last night... we watched lots of awesome movies, and it was nice being able to chat to people outside the school environment! I went to bed early so not to tire myself out and I was feeling sick, but I do still feel rather sick now. Ugh. It goes through stages, I feel fine, then I feel sick again and then I feel fine etc etc... Ah well it was a good night!! :D And a fun morning too!I actually really like this picture of my front door as the sun was hitting it. It's great when I can capture these sorts of colours without even touching post-editing software! :)

Day 309 - "SLEEPOVER!!!!"

Tonight I'm going out to Patrick's house with the gang for a movie night! I'm excited! I have been off sick today however :( I dunno, I just haven't been feeling great recently. This morning I just kept feeling like I was about to throw up, thankfully I didn't and I took some tablets, so hopefully I'll be grand for tonight!Here's a picture of some of my CDs.

Day 308 - "Lighbulb!"

I'm a very happy bunny right now. Today has been a very good day. First off, there was a lot of banter at school today, and then after school I had a date with Mr. Patrick Knight. :) We went to see Despicable Me, which is an amazing movie!! Go watch it, you won't regret it! I could sit here talking about it for ages, but I shan't spoil it for you ;) But I'm happy, and I'm gonna have a little celebratory Coke. I also ticked one off the Spade List tonight, but I'm gonna be really annoying and not tell you what it was! ;) (It's number three) I guess when I made this blog I forgot that some of my blog items were kinda personal!

Day 307 - I Will Listen To The Voice Of Truth...

Oh, what I would do
to have the kind of strength it takes
To stand before a giant
with just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound
of a thousand warriors
shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out
my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
time and time again
"Boy you'll never win,
you'll never win."

But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
the Voice of Truth says "do not be afraid!"
and the Voice of truth says "this is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of TruthTonight our SU committee was at the Odyssey to see Casting Crowns live in concert. It was a great night!! I've been waiting excitedly for this moment for a long time, I've just needed the time to sit and have some good Jesus time. During the song 'Voice Of Truth', everything I've been worried about recently just seemed to fade away, and just for this one night I was carefree. :) I'm feeling a lot better.And this is a picture of me and Patrick :)

Day 306 - Bunny Wabbit

Bunny rabbit! Innit adorable?So back at school after the half term holiday... meh. Roll on Christmas already! Christmas is gonna be awesome, summer was, half term was.... so it better be! :)

Day 305 - It's November Everybody!

So here's a picture of some axes. That's about it. :P
