Eldarwen's Blog Party!

Woot! Eldarwen's having a blog party, complete with a giveaway for an Owl City CD and so questions/tag thing. The button is on my sidebar over there >>>>

Anyway- here are the answers to her questions:

1) How old are you? 14 :)

2) What name do you go by on blogger? The Cornet Crazie right now. I've been Spottedstar28, Spottedstar and Princess of the Instruments but none of them seemed to fit very well, so they are gone.

3) When is your birthday? February 28 bore at 12:34 which is cool cause it's 1-2-3-4 and my bro is 5-5-5, lol.

4) If you could live anywhere in the world, besides where you live now, where would it be? `Hmmm. I'd like to visit a lot of places, but I can't think of one that stands out as where I'd like to live.

5) How did you find out about Blogger? My buddy Olive Tree :)

6) Tell us something interesting about yourself: Well, I seem to be quite accident prone. Squishy indoor soccer ball causes a concussion, broke tow by stubbing it, was one of the only 3 people in my school who caught swine flu, etc. 

7) What was your favorite toy when you were little? I had this stuffed alligator that was sometimes called Baby Gator and sometimes Princess. I would get mad if my brother twisted it's tail or something so I'd pretend that it was a broken bone or something and give it a toilet paper cast.

8) What is your favorite meal? Have you ever cooked/helped cook that meal? OK so I used to have different favorites when I wasn't vegetarian but this is a newfound favorite. It's spiral pasta with spinach, cherry tomatoes, garlic, all put in a frying pan, and then tossed with parmesan and asiago cheeses.

9) If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? You know, I'd LOVE to be a bit taller. Just like 3-4 inches. Please???? That's not too much to ask is it? Seriously I'd much prefer being 5'3'' instead of just under 5'.

10) Are you an outside person, or an inside person? Depends on the day, my mood, my activities, THE WEATHER.....

11) Are you a mommy's boy/girl, or a daddy's boy/girl? umm, not sure?

12) In one word, describe the feeling you get when you stub your toe, after just being told by your parents that you are grounded for the next month: AWWWW-OUCH!

13) Let's say you TP'd your friend's house (for those of you who don't know what TP'd stands for, it means toilet papered. As in, put toilet paper on their trees, cars, house, porch, etc.). If someone asked you why you TP'd your friends house, you would say: Well, ya know. Just, uh, sharing in the holiday spirit.

14) Have you ever gone swimming in deep, dark, dirty water? Deep? Dark? Dirty? Mommy, are there sharks? HAHA. Love the deep and dark!

15) Have you ever dreamed about getting ready to leave the house, and forgetting to get your pants on? No, thank goodness. That would be embarrassing!

16) Have you ever done something so ridiculous, that you wish you'd never done it? If so, what? Probably lots of things as I can be quite ridiculous at times, but I can't recall any at the moment

17) Imagine that you saw a purse snatching. What would you do?

a. scream and run away

b. move out of the state/country

c. tackle the purse snatcher to the ground.

d. ignore it, start whistling, and turn the other direction.

I'd love to think that I'd do C an be a public hero, but in truth I'd probably do A

18) How many friends do you have on blogger? A bunch. I know some in real life and some I don't, but I love all my followers for sure :)

19) What makes blogging so much fun for you? Meeting people, getting funny comments, posting about my life, and the graphic design aspect.

20) You're a turtle, who has bet that you can win a race with a rabbit. How does it turn out?
I trick the rabbit into drinking a sleep potion that I will say is an electrolyte drink that will keep it asleep for 24 hours so I will win.

Other news is that---- I'M ON VACATION!!!!!!!!!! Also my job shadow day went very well, and it was quite fun :)

Bugs, Flowers, and Trees

Here I am. Posting on a computer that is sadly not my laptop. *sigh* I wish they wouldn't take them away before vacations. Anyway, school was OK today. It was a little bit of a different thing cause it's the last real day before vacation, so I won't do the log. Wow. I am really just rambling on aren't I? OK. The real meaning behind this post. The title is the name of a very gross cafeteria lunch they served in elementary school and also the subject of some photos I've been wanting to show you. Of. Guess what? Bugs, flowers, and trees! (Let it be known that no editing, cropping has been done and that I didn't use my zoom once. Oh wait. Yes I did. On the one of the duck. But yes, I got that close to the bees) Wow. My writing is sounding very stupid so I'll just shut up and show you the pics:

I have to say it. I LOOOOOOVE my camera, and I hope you loved these pictures! Tomorrow's job shadow day--- soooo excited!!!

oh it's fridayfridayfridayfriday FRIDAY!!!!!!

YAY!!!! My favorite day of the week has arrived again! After a long week of schoolwork, abominable tests, and busyness in general, it's almost the weekend where I get to finally relax. Except. Not this weekend. *SIGH....* I've got a lot of stuff coming up here's the update:

Tonight- I'm going to my friend Ripplestar's after school (maybe we'll do a conversation post or something)

Tomorrow- I have a make-up trumpet lesson in the morning and in the evening I have my conformation sleepover at the church, and we've been promised not sleep at all.

Sunday- Church (have to do yet another worship reflection), show a movie after church to people who are considering going to the summer camp Pilgrim Lodge, and then that night we've got Jazzapalooza from 5-9!

Monday/Tuesday- Back to school with TOOOOOOOONS of tests.

OK, this is going to be a rather all around post, but I'm busy girl so that's understandable! Firstly, last night was our last dance of the year, and my last middle school dance. (we still have the 8th grade social, but that doesn't count =D ) Anyway, it was retro themed and Bella and Super Gato had these awesome retro outfits! They were really fun to look at. Me? I just wore skinny jeans and an orange tank top, lol. Anyway, we had so much fun and it was totally the best dance of the year. It was sponsored by the related arts teachers, and for some reason they're a lot more energetic than core subject teachers, and the best part was that they didn't just stand up by the wall watching, but they were out dancing to which was often hilarious to watch! They finally played Dancing Queen for us (thanks to a special request by our French teacher) and our group had so much fun with our routine to that song. Also when they played Tik Tok me and Elránia and Super Gato did our dance routine from the talent show, and I'm serious. EVERYBODY was watching us. They were standing up on the bleachers and crowding in a circle up front to see us which was super cool. So all in all, it was a fun night.

Now--Job shadowing! In 8th grade we get a job shadow day (this year April 14) where we get to go and, well, shadow someone with a profession that we might enjoy. I was able to get a place with the band director at the other middle school in our town, so I'm really excited for that!

Jazz surprise.....After our Jazzapalooza event on April 11, the two jazz bands come together with anyone else who wants to join, to form the Spring Jazz group. This is always an exciting, huge group. Anyway, yesterday Mrs Barry said that on this one song for Spring Jazz, Green Onions, she'd like to try something different and she'd like to play with the group in the saxophone section. And so she wants me to conduct the band! I'm so happy, this is going to be great :)

And finally, tomorrow is Easter. Alle- oops. Not supposed to say that word yet! :) I'm playing my trumpet out at the sunrise service that we hold by the ocean at six o'clock in the morning. I just hope it's not too cold! After, we'll do other stuff, go to the regular service at nine and in the afternoon have couscous dinner at my grandmother's. Fun! And then it's back to school...
