Yesterday was a pretty regular day (except I didn't play ANY video games 8O ). For some reason, we had dinner arrangements for the whole weekend (thanks to my wonderful dad *rolls eyes* ).
I got an early birthday present, a new bike, so we could ride this weekend. We rode for about half an hour yesterday, then came home quickly and went to a restaurant. I didn't think it would be that great, but it was delicious! I had a chicken and egg donburi (without the mushrooms), which was basically chicken, eggs, and onions stir-fried and put on top of rice. It was a pretty big bowl, but I finished it and still had room for dessert! =P
This morning we had crepes for breakfast. Yum. I've spent basically the whole rest of the morning on the Internet, browsing around, listening to music, and trying to talk to people on Skype (why's no one on? =( ). We are hosting dinner for two other families tonight (including AL and his family), so my dad's been cooking up a storm.
And... my birthday's tomorrow!!! =D I can't wait, but the problem is I have some homework I haven't done. So I'm either going to have to squeeze it in in the few hours before AL gets here, or do it tomorrow. It'll take a few hours for me to decide. =P
That's about it for today and yesterday. Yet, I don't want to end this blog post because I have nothing else to do. Oh, well.

A boring two days
The past two days have been pretty boring. I'll not write very much as to not bore you to death.
Yesterday was a very uninteresting day. In fact, I don't really remember much about it, because there wasn't anything really to remember. We started building rockets in science (much to my dismay).
Today was a tiny bit more interesting. It was the last day of ping pong in PE, and my friend SH and I were getting close to the top, but we didn't get a chance to get to the top! =(
In Spanish, we had a prueba de vocabulario (vocabulary quiz). I was worried because I hadn't studied, but I'm sure I aced it now. I was sure about every question. =D
We played badminton after dinner, and baked some Chocolate Strawberry Shortcakes. They were very good; you should try them! =D (Oh, and btw, we didn't put the liqueur in the strawberries ;) )
Nothing else worth mentioning, really.
And I will have those photos by tomorrow! They're uploaded, just on another computer. I've been too lazy to put them on this computer. ;)

Photoshop fun!
I was bored this evening so I went through my old photos. I found one to photoshop. I'll show you the before and after.
This first photo is the "before." Although it has some potential with the nicely colored shiny flowers, it is way too dreary and the leaves look too blue. You can tell this was taken in overcast weather.
Now here's the photoshopped version. It looks a lot brighter, and everything is less blue. Doesn't it look so much better? And it only took 3 adjustments!

What is this world coming to?

Now, about my day.
During science, we watched a rocket launch (which landed on the roof of one of my classmate's houses, who lives near the school). We are starting the rocket unit tomorrow. I am not excited about that. My brother, on the other hand, is, even though he's not in the class. =P
We had a sub today for Social Studies. He was nicer than my regular teacher, TP, but he didn't quite get what we were doing. We were watching a movie and then taking a quiz on it, but it ended up being a disaster. I hope I get a good grade on it....
Spanish, which is usually my favorite class, was frustrating today, because we had a worksheet. I kept doing it wrong, and erasing it, doing it wrong, erasing it... it ended up almost not able to be read.
After school, I had an orthodontist appointment. It was very, very quick (~5 mins). Not very interesting.
And I don't have those pictures uploaded yet. Sorry! =D

zOMG a blog!!
Welcome to my blog! Ummmmm, let's see........ what should I write? I have a rather boring life, filled with interesting things. >_> Umm, that doesn't sound right. >_>
Well, I really am into music. Currently, my favorite artist is Moya Brennan (sister of Enya), but that changes from time to time. The video currently on the right (click on it to watch it at the top of the screen) column is her singing one of my favorite songs, Black Night. I also like the Scottish band Capercaillie.
I also like photography. I have a small digital camera, and I love taking pictures of flowers, especially rhododendrons. I'll post some eventually, but my more recent ones are not uploaded yet. >_>
I also play some video games, though not very seriously (only ~1 hour a day, if that). Although I think it is a bit young for me, I am back into Pokémon (following the release of two completely new games). Although I used to be a serious Animal Crossing-er, I don't play that anymore. The other main video game I play is Brain Age. =P
I do have one younger brother, and he's (unfortunately) obsessed with James Bond. *rolls eyes*
Today was a partially interesting day, since I had a dentist appointment after school. That was the only mildly interesting thing that happened today. It went fine, no cavities. =D
Now I am coming down with a case of writer's block (and remembering that I need to put that video in), so I will close now.
