Howdy!

Hello! I feel like I haven't posted in ages. Which I haven't..





Anyway, I was really busy. We got SO MUCH HOMEWORK yesterday it wasn't funny. I was up until about half 8 doing it. And I ended up doing an extra chapter in CSPE because I wrote Pg.88-101 and it looked like 107 and I did 6 extra pages. BUT I still managed to watch 2 episodes of Bones and send Laura an email. But not post. Hehe.



I was in a really good mood after I finished my homework so I got quite hyper and I started writing random lines from songs and now I'm going to give Laura 5 EURO if she guesses them all. It's very hard. Because I made it really hard.

OH. Well, you know the way Laura went to Coraline and screamed and was really scared and stuff? Well I was listening to a movie review on the radio and this is what she said:

"Coraline is a very nice, cute film. It's not that scary, I've seen very young children come out of it and they loved it and didn't find it scary at all!"

I nearly wet myself laughing. Hehe.

Umm..

OH. Well, last Sunday, my cousin and my uncle came over. Well he isn't really my uncle, he's like a friend of the family, but we all treat him like an uncle. Anywho, they came over because my uncle/friend of the family won a prize of a helicopter ride in Galway airport.

So, me and my cousin went in and we asked could we go on the helicopter with him, and the pilot said no, it was only a two seater, but we were allowed to wave goodbye, so we said Ok! Why not?

So we went down the runway where there were all the aeroplanes, and there was the helicopter in the middle of it. Then the pilot told us that we had to into the big shed after they had taken off and we could go into the kitchen and wait or something.

So they went off and we went into the big grey shed thing.

IT WAS FULL OF HELICOPTERS AND PRIVATE JETS AND A FORKLIFT.

It was so cool!! At first we were really scared and we stayed around 2 feet away from the planes at all times, but soon we were opening the helicopters up and putting on the headphones and pretending to be pilots. And we took a pen from the private jet. After all, if he can afford a private jet, surely he can afford another pen right!?

Then we went into the kitchen where we are biscuits and cheese. I wanted to make a toasted cheese sandwich. I didn't want to eat it, but the idea of making a toasted cheese sandwich in the same room as a Boeing 747 Junior was very cool. Then we drew helicopters on the white board in the classroom and we got disposable ear plugs from the office. Hehe.

Oh and some of the helicopters had keys in the ignition. I think thats really bad. Like we weren't going to try and fly away in a helicopter or anything, but what if a crazy person wanted to steal a helicopter!? Thats like leaving the keys in a ferrari with a bright flashing neon sign saying "FREE TO A GOOD HOME".

OHMIGOSH I HAVE TO GO I AM WATCHING THE BESTEST BONES EPISODE EVER. EVER EVER EVER. BYEBYE!!!! X

Dearest most darlingest ever readers,


I apologise for my lack of posts but our computer was infected by a VIRUS and is currently in bed in PC World drinking tea and chicken soup in a vain attempt to recover. The're also erasing the ENTIRE thing, including

• MSN - How am I supposed to talk to Claire/Deirdre/et. al. at 11.00p.m? And I have no idea how to reinstall it. My cousin did it for me the first time!
• ALL of my pictures
• ALL of my videos (well, if I had any they'd be gone)
• ALL of my Word documents
• ALL OF EVERYTHING THAT HAS EVER MATTERED TO ME. (well, not really, but if you are a slightly melodramatic 14 year old it seems that way doesn't it?)

So as a result I am cranky, mopey, depressed, and my little brother and his Neanderthal friend spoiled my day at the movies and pizza resteraunt and my friend's house. It is so unfair.

Random note: Go to see Coraline but as soon as she goes into the room with her Other Mother and sees all the flashing kind of bug stuff STOP WATCHING. I didn't, and I screamed for the first time in my life at the cinema. It really was awful. And scary. My sister ended the movie literally sitting on my lap, and my best friend was actually shaking with fear. Yes, we should probably have been slightly more mature, but no, we weren't. But to be honest, I really want to see it again :D

Another random note: I am a pretty good haiku poet. Not the most challenging of poetry, but I really like it and bite-sized chunks of non-rhyming poetry are the perfect type for me.

Haiku by Laura Hammer, Completely copyrighted.

all of a sudden

poorly composed sentences

are just poetry

I made that one up. I actually wrote a load of them to Claire. Some are about Coraline, some are about last night when I was babysitting, and not all of them are very good. But they kept me amused. Feel free to type a few singing Randamusing's praise into the comments.

And this one is actually by Claire Boreanaz, but I love it and am therefore giving her 100% credit...

Haiku by Claire Boreanaz. Also completely copyrighted,

now i look outside

that nice flower just farted

and so did that one

If you have seen Barbie in Swan Lake the above will make perfect sense. Or not.

Anyway, I'm typing this on my dad's computer and I have to go... I think we're getting ours back on Tuesday. Today I sent our computer three boxes of tissues and a Get Well Soon card.

Randamusing, you are

so clever and well written

makes me laugh sometimes.

For a sweater vest makes more sense.

Hello, people of the 21st century.

As Laura said in her (otherwise fabulous) Retraction, I made a mistake and I said "For a sweater vest" instead of "Four sweater vests". For a sweater vest makes much more sense, because the line before is, "This is his dry cleaning bill..." Now which would make more sense there?


My ipod in on shuffle and just came onto one of my favourite songs, Shiny Happy People, by R.E.M. I love that song. Its was on Marley and Me (the book is way better). It's such a happy song. :]


I can't actually remember what I did today. I just remember that I was drawing stuff for Home Ec. I can't decide on whether to do a biker teddy with multiple piercings, a French teddy with a moustache and a baguette (no insult to French people I know that everyone in The Land of Baguettes doesn't go around with a curly fry on their upper lip), a geeky teddy with huge glasses (Harry P style) and a check shirt/bow tie, or a girl teddy with a ribbon on her head and a red checked dress.


My cousin got the score (piano music) of Honk! the musical and he's photocopying all the good songs off it for me and sending them to me!! It shows just how sad my life is that I'm getting excited over music for the piano. But Honk! has some really nice songs in it. The storyline of it is the ugly duckling. I think, does the ugly ducklings mum go after him to try and find him after he leaves? And does he just leave or does he get taken away by the cat? I can't remember. But it's basically the story of the ugly duckling. Look it up on youtube its quite good!


Did you know that Coca-cola, when translated into Chinese, means "To make mouth happy"? I personally don't see the attraction. I don't like it. I had it twice before, the first was well the first time i ever tried it, when I realised that I did not like it. The second time was at Laura's neighbours house when I broke a lamp. Then I was scared and I wanted sugar. But I still don't like it.


I never know how to end these things. It seems kind of strange to write 'bye'. I'm not going to write 'bye' anymore. I'm just going to end it.

It feels wierd just to end it though.

I LOVE SEELEY BOOTH.

Ten Random Things You Never Knew About Me

Here we go.

Warning: Explosive revelations below may cause severe cranial trauma to those who watch Balamory and have twenty three cans of tuna in their pantry.

1. I detest my feet. Truly hate them. I haven't been barefoot in public for ages. Flip flops annoy me too although I like them a lot. They just show too much.

2. It annoys the heck outta me when people write "alot". A AND LOT ARE TWO DIFFERENT WORDS, PEOPLE. LEARN TO SPELL THEM PROPERLY AND THEY WILL BE YOUR BEST FRIEND.

3. I have not eaten a vegetable intentionally since I was four (except for bribed forays into the realm of vegetable). However, you probably knew this about me already.

4. My favourite Shakespeare play is either the Taming of the Shrew or the Twelfth Night. Someday I hope to read the original Shakespeare instead of the slightly condensed but good-for-studying book of Shakespeare I have.

5. Right now, I want an iPhone more than anything. Unfortunately this dream will probably never be fulfilled until I am a highly successful actress on Broadway raking in the Benjamins at which point I will not see the appeal of applications where you can play a leaf like a trombone.

6. I named our first hamster Nosie Rosie. She was a good hamster, until she died of old age when I was at a birthday party and Mom came to get me and did not tell me immediately that my dearest darling of the animal kingdom was dead. She has, however, been replaced as my dearest darling of the animal kingdom twice. Your spirit lives on, Nosie.

7. I used to adore apple juice. Then when I was sick for a while once (I was pretty young) I could eat and drink nothing but apple juice. I loathed it after that and switched to mango quickly. I only recently began drinking apple juice again. I still prefer mango but it's sadly unavailable here.

8. I loathe science fiction, I really do. Terminator the movie is as close to sci-fi that I've ever gotten. I watched the first episode of Battlestar Galcraptica (as I semi-affectionately refer to it as) but approximately one quarter of the way through I gave up and began playing Mario vs. Luigi with my sister.

9. I can count on my ten fingers the number of times I've gone to school this year without washing my hair the night before. I wouldn't describe myself as a clean freak, because my room is a mess, but the shower thing is kind of my personal obsessive-compulsive thing.

10. I think I am slightly psychic. Seriously. I can often predict things that are going to happen and most of the time they come true. I doubt it's supernatural though, it's probably just a wicked coincidence and good guesswork.

And Bonus Thing #11, because you probably all knew #3.

I love to talk about myself. This is the one subject I am completely knowledgable about. And I just had a crystal-clear vision of Claire rolling her eyes and saying, "really?"

Retraction 1

In her last (otherwise fabuolous) post, Claire Boreanaz stated that Captain Hammer's groupies sang "For a sweater vest!"

This, dear readers, is a blatant lie.

They did, in fact, sing "FOUR sweater vests!"


Thank you for your time........
