Leaves, Frogwarts & General Christmas Cheer!

Oh! Leaves, Peeves and Christmas in the air!
It's good to hear from you JoJo and to see your picture!!
I finally finished a book (a very very short one) as a Christmas present for a friend and it is shown above.

Also shown above:
My lovely new tadpole friends!
Whilst elsewhere in the northern hemisphere an Arctic Chill has moved in,
my neighborhood has become a greenhouse.
Mm, yes, it's lovely, thankyou.... wink wink.
Show in the excellent jar above are Mr. Frogwarts, Hopkins the Second, Mistletoe and Jim.
Their names are somewhat due to my re-reading Harry Potter again...
Since the last tadpoles I collected have either died (very regretable, of course) or been eaten (by my cat), I plan to wait a few days and see if they are ailing and should put them back.

Lastly (or firstly?) I have been making LEAVES in my pottery class! Yay! ;)
Now I have to make truffles for my pottery teacher...

That's all that's going on around here. I hope you have a wonderfully merry Christmas, Jo:

Photography!!!!

This is what I have been doing. Taking pictures. I have edited but to take this picture I went off the trail (oops, but I was careful) to follow a little stream and found this wonderful sunlight!
Your turn,
Jo

The Dirtiest Job You've Never Heard About

This is a very good picture of me looking insane. This is infact because of the freezing cold fishy squishy sensation going through my toes.
What are we doing in a fishtank with a foot of icky water and a fish net? Why, catching fish of course. This is actually only Fish Tank Number One and we were in the process of transporting the fish from one tank to another. Not a pleasant activity.
Some day when someone does a fishy job on TV, I will laugh at this as you probably are. But for now I'm trying to rub the fishy smell out of my feet.
What have YOU been doing for fun?
'Till later,
A


P.S.
Happy thanksgiving, I hope you gained ten pounds as I did. ;)

I Love Books!

hey arah,

It is currently the last day of November. I am doing my math homework but took a break to listen to music and check up on the blog. You are currently soooo luck NOT to have snow because alredy it's late November and the novelty of snow has worn off.

Book Thingy 1: Mockingjay
Yes, I have read and cried and laughed and frowned and growled and smiled and just fallen asleep during the reading of Mockingjay. I H-A-T-E-D the book, it was such an accurate description of Katniss' emotions that it was painful. Also Suzanne killing everyone and driving Katniss into a insanity nearly the whole book did not suit me. This is where the accuracy part comes in, I became Katniss and during the whole book I put into such a state of depression, I had just forgiven her for killing Cinna and then she is torturing Katniss so much. I was screeaming on the inside! :) Oh, yeah and I'm not even done my rant. The whole pick Gale or Peeta thing was like a school play that was pretending to pass off as a Broadway performance.

P.S. If I were Katniss I would pick Gale he understands her way more.

Book Thingy 2: NaNiWriMo
Hurry! Only one more day left! Maybe next year we'll try it together. It looks like a whole wack of fun.... I'll try and call to celebrate with you.

Book Thingy 3:
No, never heard of it but it looks awesome! I have a account and will do book reports soon!

lol,
Jo

BOOKS!

Hey JoJo,

It is the ninth of November and over here in the middle of the ocean there is NO SNOW!!! Heeheehee.
Okay, so here's the latest: Books!

Book Thing Number One: Mockingjay
What did you think about it? Was it good? Was it GREAT? Di you hate it? And should she have ended up with Gale???

Book Thingy Number Two: http://www.nanowrimo.org/
There's this thing called 'NaNoWriMo' which stands for National Novel Writing Month and it's this program for November in which you write a book in 30 days. It is not a bout quality, it is about QUANTITY! Which means, since I started eight days late I have to go NOW and begin writing, writing, writing and WRITING! Mom agreed to quit school for a week for me to try and catch up. Yay!

Book Thingy Number Three: Goodreads
Do you have an account> Have you ever heard of it??? I have a secret name for my goodreads account 'widescreenaddition' (Why that? because, it's never taken.) Following is a sample of one of my reviews (I figured this was an easier way of recommending books than emailing back and forth): Sing Me to Sleep by Angela Morrison

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A beautiful, sad, very real story that was on my mind for DAYS!
I wouldn't recommend it for kids under... say twelve, but I certaintly enjoyed it!
