The People Menagerie

I don't want to point fingers at anyone but someone (MADISON) isn't updating, so Becca (a.k.a. me) is updating Madison's (a.k.a. Yo Yo Ma's) blog. We were all discussing what animal we would want to be so here they are: I want to be a narwhal, they are freaking awesome! (See picture above), Madison wants to be a lion, Ally wants to be a rhino, and Julie is, are you ready for this, a SLOTH!!!! Amy wants to be, a, JAGUAR!!! So awesome!
See this charging rhino! It is going to eat you! Beware!
This is a Spanish lion! He es waiting for you! (In the words of Amy, ees an eenside joke, you mus have been der to understand).
It's ssssid the ssssloth!
I never said what kind of jaguar, also please note the Sydney Opera House in the background!

Okay, here's a real jaguar!
And ends the most AWESOME post EVER!

Because Monk won my last poll, I now pose a new question: Sharona or Natalie?

Why I Am Angry With Christopher Paolini

For Christmas, I received the much-appreciated present of the entire Inheritance (Eragon) trilogy.

Or, so I thought.

But we've all been deceived! While reading one day, I discovered that less than half an inch of the book was left. I told myself, This is gonna be a crappy ending if he shoves it all in half an inch. Turns out, there was not a crappy ending. I got to the last page, and then it said, THE STORY WILL CONTINUE AND CONCLUDE WITH BOOK FOUR.

And then I screamed. And that is why Christopher Paolini had better make "book four" good or else I'll hate him.

I'M DONE!!!

In the words of Teen Girl Squad, "The tyranny is over!" Friday was the final day of exams.

Here's what we did to celebrate. Julie and Ally slept over Friday night and we held a ball. We got all dressed up and hung the green "fairy hideaway" in the archway to take pictures. Speaking of the pictures...
Ally is so pretty... she looks like a little fairy...
Mom said Julie needs to wear this dress at her prom. I agree. She is so pretty.
Barf. I hate to ruin the post with this picture, but Mom wants me to put it on. Who let her have the camera again? Oh wait. It was me.
All the ballgoers together.
Here's a picture of the beautiful hairdo Julie gave me for the Fairy Ball. Jules, you're awesome.

it's over! it's over!
Strongbad says it's over!
it's over! it's over!
everybody died 'cept me!
(Sorry. We also watched all the episodes of Teen Girl Squad while they were here.)

Check out the new polls!

Time Warp

Has anybody ever seen the show Time Warp? It's really cool. These guys have high-speed cameras and slow down a bunch of cool stuff. I just saw one where you could actually see a whip breaking the sound barrier, like, the sound waves rolling off the tips. Freakin'. Awesome.
Now I must prepare myself for more examinal torture. Ciao.

Gyargh!!

You know, the word "exam" is very powerful. It can create tension where there was none before, make beads of sweat form on one's forehead, and even activates a study instinct in the most indifferent students. It tears through a person's life like a plague; in fact, exams are like a plague in many ways. You feel terrible while you're experiencing it, and you only feel satisfactory when you're done. But then, when the results come back you feel awful again. It's simply the most torturous act a school can give its students.
So all I can say is GYARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
