The reason that I hadn’t was that the damn camcorder program didn’t want to work for me…

Hey people!

In 27 days I’ll be turning 15 years old… I can’t believe it. Half way to 30! Five years away from being twenty o.O… That’s insane! :P I’m looking forward to it though – Shop Aholic :P .

Anyway, I finally got around to adding a new vlog to my tiny collection today… The reason that I hadn’t was that the damn camcorder program didn’t want to work for me… And so I ended up getting too frustrated and giving up… UNTIL… I tried it on my mom’s laptop! It works on here =]. Yay!

I haven’t got much news… It was a quiet New Year’s unlike our very last one in Ireland. We didn’t know it would be our last Irish one… The first one in our mother of a house in the country side. We had a HUGE family party… It was so much fun hanging out with my cousins and rolling about on the carpet dying of laughter :P .

Nice last memory of being in Ireland =]. On the 1st of March it’ll have been two whole years since we left… Weird O.o. And since then all that I’ve done has been ice-skating :P , so no news. Haha! I just read over that… I mean since New Years I haven’t done anything but ice-skating… Not since two years ago :P .

I’m not going to ramble on too much, so will write a post once I actually HAVE news :P . Oh yes, Venetia reminded me that I hadn’t put any images up of our snowman, so here’s the only one on this computer at the moment, will get some more on soon ^_^.

The movies that depict snow as “cute” and “fluffy” LIE!!!

Hey people ^_^!

So  three days ago was as a normal morning usually is : P. My dad woke me up and I went to let Gizmo outside… but as the wooden shutter flew open… : O The blaring white gave me quite a shock… And so did the cold /: |… SNOOOW! And lots of it ^_^.

It was absolutly brillliant! Practically the whole day it poured… bucketed /: |… blizzard-ed snow! So after the first time out in it and all Venetia and I did was have a snowball fight, get cold and wet… and me ending up having a bad asthma attack we came inside and I decided that I didn’t want to have to go out into it again… Unless for recording purposes of course!

We did end up outside in the chilly weather again though to make a snowman… Venetia was determined to and since we hadn’t made a proper one before – Why not? Apparently snow is rare in our little village so I got my warm clothes back on and headed outside.

Venetia did all of the rolling. I just stood and complained about getting my camera wet if I touched the snow :P . Of course Venetia was well prepared with a zip up pocket so I had to shush and help.

Snow is heavy /: |… The movies that depict snow as “cute” and “fluffy” LIE!!! It’s evil and heavy and spends its life wanting to give you asthma attacks and make you wet… Sometimes it even has the cheek to trip you up :P ! See, Venetia had just made a mother of a snowball for the base and as she was turning it around to come closer to the garage door, VWOOF! She had just… rolled over the snowball and was lying on the ground… Like one of those cartoons o.O.

Oh! And then we tried lifting the middle section of our “Maujaq Monster” (That took me forever to find!! Maujaq is an eskimo word for soft, deep snow… I only needed to find a word for snow that started with M to go with monster :P ) It was just far too heavy, so after many attempts, Venetia being her brainy self… Dug her hands into the snow as did I and voila! Liftable ^_^. Yet, I still jump up and down and get excited by snow >.< – That’S NO(W) joke! Haha! No, I’m sorry… I just had to put one of those corny jokes in there -_-. While Venetia was decorating her dude I decided to go off to the other part of the garden where the clean snow still lay, untouched by the hands of us… Yet!

Whilst there I chose to make a snow cat… Which soon turned into the making of a miniature baby snow polar bear :) . I could lift him and put him anywhere and he was just so cute… Although I broke his face a few times trying to get a nut eye into his head /: |. In the end though, he rocked!

Venetia’s snowman was more leaves than snow really… But we tried to make his outside all white and happy looking… It took far too long to try relayer him with clean snow though and the warmth of my gloves had soon worn out and so my hands were numb and felt that they were almost beyond non-numb-ifying /: |… Not good… So in an attempt to make the snowman look pretty AND get my hands back to their normal senses, we just tried whacking out of the leaves off in a kung-fu sort of way ^_^.

Guess what!! I don’t know why I just write that because I have nothing >.<… Anyway! I’m going to go now. I actually have more news but since I have to keep these short I’m going to leave it at that. I feel bad that I haven’t written in three days though, so might post another post today :) . Keep checking :P . Catch you guys later! Hoping to hear from you soon.

That doesn’t stop the bananas from going squidgy…

Hey everyone!

Just a quick post. Today Venetia and I finally got around to decorating the front glass room. It looks great! Last year we bought fake icicles to stick onto the window. The light icicles that hang down over the fake snow ones and illuminate them really make it.

I spent a good hour cutting out lots of snow flakes, can never get too old for that :P . Folding the paper into a square, continue folding it until it’s a small triangle and begin hacking away at it with SAFETY scissors… Ahh, then the BEST part is guessing what it’ll look like when you unfold it, reveal it’s gorgeousness or… extremely bare look and voila, sellotape it to the window… Love it ^_^. And of course, the light-up snowman with his sparkly hat and scarf cannot be forgotten!

You see, Venetia and I tried hanging the icicle lights on the tree outside but… it was cold and muddy… So after several attempts of trying to keep the lights to stay where they were we gave up and came back inside to the warmth and… clean shoe… ness!

I’m not sure where the rest of my day went… Well see, I actually only went to bed at three in the morning last night, so after a good nine hour sleep… I woke up… Nine hours later, being Midday already… So I can literally say that I did… nothing today… Pathetic, I know but I don’t actually mind. It means one less day to have to drole on through until Christmas! Not bad, eh ;) .

Tomorrow I think I have to bake Banana bread… I’m not really that keen on baking it though because that means there’ll just be more calories in the house to be consumed… My dad went shopping with my mom yesterday so… There’s more than enough sugar-y treats in the house for now :P … but that doesn’t stop the bananas from going squidgy…

I just wrote this poem for the sake of Christmas… and animals :P . Hope you enjoy it and if you’re thinking about getting an animal for Christmas make sure you are really willing to look after and have enough time to love one =].

***********************************************
The snow is falling,
Night creatures are calling,
Ice has taken over,
The grounds are covered,
Everything, pure white smothers,
The wind howls in the far distance,
A shiver curls my spine,
Voices keep going through my mind,
My eyes weep, unvoluntarily,
Why did they stop loving me,
This night, I will not be fed,
Nor will I sleep in a warm bed,
They left me on the highway,
I never had any say,
I remember the morning,
How they all came in yawning,
Saw me under the tree,
Squealed with glee,
They adored me,
Then suddenly they’d had enough,
I was forgotten, they’d lost their love,
So only put a puppy on your list,
If you know,
A dog is for life, not just for christmas.
