Wizard Rock, New Attempts and March Break

In the hopes that I actually post on this blog more often, I've decided that for the rest of February and ALL of march, I'm going to post about once a week. And I hopefully won't be swamped by homework and other stuff, so I can do that.

In other news, I'M GOING TO THE GRAND CANYON FOR MY SWEET SIXTEENTH!!! Yes, you can be jealous, because I am going to see my Second of the Seven Wonders of the World. Because, honestly, Niagra Falls doesn't count any more, unless I'm going down in a barrel, which I will NEVER, EVER do....

So, I have a essay that's worth 25% of 30% of my final mark in History so I have to be getting back to that, but I hope that you're all well.

What are you doing over March Break?

Song Stuck in my Head: Who is Blaise Zabini? by the Parselmouths, and Wizard Rock by the Boyz Who Lived.
Book: Pride and Predjeduce by Jane Austen.
Quote: "The Socerer's Stone is where it all began, the Chamber was the Secret and you let us in, the Prisoner of Azkaban turned out to be and okay guy. In the Goblet of Fire he was way too young, the Order of the Pheonix was really long, the Half-Blood Prince gave some really really good advice. The Deathly Hallows were scary times, a lot of people died..." -Wizard Rock, The Boyz Who Lived.

It's Been A While

Wow, it's been a long time. I haven't blogged in like forever!!!

I have so much I want to say!!! Like for example: EXAMS ARE DONE!!! (hallelujah chorus in background) !!! A new semester has started at my school and my new core subjects are science, english and geography, so there will be a lot more homework. Anyhow, I'm still excited for science because we get to set stuff on fire in chemistry and we will finally have an entire unit on astronomy (YES!!!) so I will get to show off all my knowledge of the cosmos!!! I'm also excited for english cause then I can display my writing skills and hopefully improve them too. Geography, one word: boring!!! Oh, well at least I like the teacher, he's fun. I also have one new course instead of art (sigh =( ), computers, adn I am finally learning how to type (just for the record, I'm not typing properly right now, using my thumb, index, middle and pinky fingers is faster).

Another thing, is you guys should watch our homemade House Song (by Ministry of Magic) music video here, because IT IS AWESOME!!! EVERYONE IN THAT VIDEO PWNS!!! (mostly me though....jokes, jokes, but really it is awesome. I think we should win.)

Also, now that Betho's mom is my reading mentor for school, I may be seeing Bethany more often than I already do!!! Yay!!! Which now has me thinking, Behto we need to make another video blog, now that you have your own channel and all (which I don't recall you telling me about....).

Well I can't think of anything else so see y'all!!!

Close my eyes, maybe I am only dreaming. Try to lie, to myself you are only sleeping. Close my eyes, I close my eyes... And so the phoenix cries, and so the phoenix flies. I gotta always keep in mind, another great adventure waits on the other side. I'll see you on the other side. ~ On the Other Side, Ministry of Magic

Happy New Years!!!

It's 2011!!! YAY!!! Let's hear all those New Years resolutions (leave them in the comments).
What is my New Years resolution you may ask? Well, to be honest, I really don't know. Though, I do have a lot of books to read, that is, if I can finish The Lord of the Rings.
If we're talking books, for Christmas I got The Hunger Games, and I must say that it was an excellent book; I can't wait to use my Chapters gift card to buy the next two books!!!
Anyway, Bethany spent all of New Years with me at my house, which was mucho fun!!! We watched a whole tonne of fiveawesomegirls videos and watched Glee. And of course the biggest news of all....the launch of our new blog: Letters Make Words!!! YAY!!! Letters Make Words, will be far less random because it will be a story, so look out for our first story post!
That's really all, hope everyone had a totally awesome Christmas break!!! (Alas school in two days!)

Three hours later...

Bethany here:

Well, I haven't been on in a while so you know what that means... A possible, very long blog for you to read, and me to write.

If you can't remember, the last time I didn't blog for a while it ended up being me writing for 1 1/2 hrs.

And, three hours later, I still haven't done anything on this post, and I'm about to be booted off the computer.

So, I hope that you all had a good holiday and you should check out the following youtube people/channels.

BETHANY

Punishments!!!

Betho! What are you thinking?!! Now we're going to have to go though with this!!! And, NO!!! We should not punish Lily!!! Lily has been posting!!! And when I wasn't posting, it was because I had nothing interesting to say!!!
Anyway, now that we've gotten that out of the way, who is extremely excited to see Harry Potter 7 with her boyfriend? Me of course!!! As long as I can find out the show times...
Also, we have an annoying art presentation (I hate presentations of any kind) thing, that is just that. Annoying.
Anyhow, that's pretty much my life right now.

Song: I May Lose Everything, The Bravest Man I Ever Knew, A Phoenix Lament by The Ministry of Magic

P.S. I forgot that this weekend I'm going to see Wicked with a bunch of friends!!! Yay!!!

Punishments?

I am so horrible at this!

So, the idea of this blog was so that Lily and I would be writing about our days, and, well, just us. And I am not doing so well.

I sort of got the inspiration of this from the vlogbrothers and so I jokingly asked my friends if they thought that we should be punished if we failed to blog. They seriously agreed.

So I guess for everyday that I didn't have an excuse (and that's like, 9 days of my blogging) I must be punished.

And if my math is correct, I haven't been blogging 3x a week. With 3 weeks excluded, and there having been 14 weeks - 3 =11
3 x 12 = 33

That's 33 punishments. Wow. Or maybe we could, you know, condense them into say, 6 or 3?

So the reason I am excused from 2 weeks is because I moved, and we didn't have Internet or a computer!
And they don't let you on the school computers unless you're doing school work. >:(

Also, someone I knew died and I needed a few days to grieve, so I took that Wednesday off (as I had found out on a Tuesday). Then the last reason is Darien Lake, but you already knew about that.

But, basically, I am doomed. So, friends of mine (and Lily) will you punish me? And with what? [Also, should we punish Lily too?]

This is mostly a weird find out how you feel about these.

Also, the punishments would have to be a little embarrassing, but, nothing too serious...

So, on this or the Facebook companion, or email at dumbledoresarmy_deatheaters@yahoo.ca tell me what you think.

(and just so you know, I did figure how many punishments Lily would get. 30)
(ps, I sortof like this new computer...)
