A piano tuned one tone flat is not a very good sound.

Today my dad, brother and I played at an old folks home. Aaaand.... the piano was tuned one tone flat! It was pretty awful trying to play the violin in those conditions. Everything I played felt sooooo wrong, basically because my ears weren't used to wrong tuning. And then Dad started to play a piece on the piano (he's a pianist) by himself, and I sat next to him and turned the pages. Well, in the middle of it, this old guy started yelling out 'STOP! STOP!' He basically kept yelling that throughout the whole piece, until Dad turned round and said 'Could you please stop shouting!' They rolled him off after that, lol. It was actually pretty funny.... after the event was over. Anyhow, that was my little cross to bear today..... a piano tuned one tone flat. :D

Facebook Games.......... *groans*

I have found out, as many have told me, Facebook games are addictive. Almost like the forum. I thought I would just try out one, and.......... wham, here I am in the middle of this game.My advice to you, is never try out any of these games. They take you, life and soul........... not really. I AM KIDDING! Cause if it took me life and soul I wouldn't be able to be sitting here writing, would I? I would be...... dead, I guess. And I'm sure none of you want me dead. Aren't I? :P < It has often occurred to me how much I love dis smilie. It's so..... I don't know. I guess I just like it..... funny, when I first wrote that, it came out 'I guess I just don't like it....' thilly me. :P

Poor Bloggle.....

I am sooooo sorry, to keep you waiting like this for another post. Perhaps I even made you forget my blog, and that would be sad. ;D Anyway, as I found out, life often catches up on you in one big hit and you have no time for anything, let alone blogs...... ok, maybe I had time for some things. For lots of things. Maybe I was just to lazy to post...... :P Anyway, ^points at header* aren't you proud of me! I edited that blog header! After many *cough* hours of work....... :P more like eight minutes. ANYWAY, I need to write a story. For the forum. A totally random one, about a blind date and a bounty hunter. Don't look at me, this wasn't my idea! Look at Lanta from the forum. She got us going onto this random website and it comes up with weird plot ideas that you could make a short story from. Anyway, I got that one afore-said aaand.... I have to post it on here! *chews fingernails* and I haven't even started.....................Anyway, on a happier not, I went to the Royal Adelaide Show, and I won a first prize in cookery! Wait..... you don't know what the Show is, do you? I think you all just have theme parks. Am I right? Of course I am.... :P or not..... anyway, the Show used to be a place where farmer went and show their farm animals, and farmer's wives went and showed their bread and scones and whatnot. Now it's sorta evolved into a fun fair (American term, right?) with rides and showbags..... but you don't know what showbags are, either, do you? *sighs* These Americans will be the death of me.... Anyway, in the briefest sense of the word, showbags are bags with lollies in them which you buy. Some of them are good, some are bad....There, showbags explained. At least I don't have to explain rides...... you know what those are, don't you? :P

YAHOO!!!

YAY!!! I am now officially a blue belt in karate!!!! I had my grading last Sunday...... it was really, really, awesome. And tiring. By the time I got to sparring the only thought that was keeping me going was 'this is the last thing...' but I got through, and here I am!! only one more belt after this, and then I'll be brown! and only a couple of stripes on that, and I'll be black!!! I always think that way......... :P I had a really, really embarrasing moment........ it was at the handing of certificates at the end, and I was kinf of in auto-pilot...... you know, I was tired, I was totally sick of sparring and everything involving moving from where I stood. When they announce your name (which means that you graded) at a grading, you're supposed to say 'Hai' which means 'Yes' in Japanese. They called out my name, and me, being me, started to say 'Hello'.............. one of the worst moments at karate classes....

Soo......... I tried a new design for this blog! Please tell me if you like it! The only thing is it doesn't really look like.... rain...... especially as the blog header says 'Those who say happiness comes with sunshine have never danced in the rain'..... oh well.!

Lastly...... two important things for fashion and hilarious photo shoots!

1.Wear a top hat. Always. Everywhere. If you don't have one..... poor deprived child.

2.Wear sunglasses with the afore-mentioned top hat. Look at the above photo for details.......

Once Upon A Time.....

Once upon a time is always such a cozy beginning. It makes you think of bedside stories, cozy mugs of hot chocolate by the fire, blanket and hugs, does it not? It does for me. But now, you rarely see 'Once Upon A Time' as a beginning for a story. I suppose our world seems to think it's outgrown fairytales. Actually, that's an interesting idea. 'The World's Outgrown Fairytales..' Can you see that as a headline for a newspaper? Oh well... instead of our custom ones, we have 'Iron Man' Eclipse'.... I guess they're sort of our substitutes for Cinderella and such. Oh well, I'll stop my rambling.......

IT'S HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!

YAY!!!!!!!! School holidays have come at LAST!!!!! After sitting at your desk for the last eleven weeks, we finally get a two week break!two week break = Heaven. =Sleeping in. = Not doing schoolwork. = eating chocolate. (hmm.. maybe) = dancing in the rain. = doing all the crazy things you reserve til vacation. Also, holidays equal writing more on my long-planned book, Snowcapped Sunrise.... Word, here I come! *evil grin* Holidays also equal staying up late without your parents nagging at you to go to bed..... sometimes. Or just reading in bed til the late hours of the night. ;)
