I'm a poet and I don't know it... (that doesn't really work written down!)

Today we were writing poems in English. Here was my group's effort (changed a little bit...)

Once i saw a little star

Twinkle twinkle in the sky

The brightest star I'd ever seen

But it was all alone

I wondered had he lost his mummy,

Maybe playing hide and seek

Could it be that he had wandered

Right across the galaxy?

The star's sweet smile seemed to fade

As glittering teardrops fell from the sky

One fell into my hand, I looked right up

The star was just above me

'Why are you crying little star?'

I asked him very gently

He sobbed and then he spluttered out:

'It's because I'm afraid of the dark!'

Awww...!

Just one more blogthing!!

Your Monster Profile

Iron Child You Feast On: Coffee You Lurk Around In: The Hearts of Men You Especially Like to Torment: Blondes

What's Your Monster Name?

yea, erm think the word might have been gymnastic or yoga-esque NOT aerobic - don't worry i wasn't jumping up and knocking over biscuits again!

Random

To all those who witnessed my aerobics activities last nite, my ankle is fine, thankyou.


This picture was taken quite a while ago on my mum's fone, because i had put my lemon in my drink in such a way that the coke above it just stayed there and there was a wee air pocket. Well I thot it was cool anyway.

xo

Just to prove that we actually do some work at Stran. Sometimes...!

School Dinners...yum!

So we teachers don't really serve up naughty children for lunch? Go and watch the Simpsons to find out the truth...

Scoobie Queen!

Yes that's me, cos tonight I finally made a square scoobie without it getting really twisted or just going wrong! I have been really worried about my inability to make scoobies, because little kids of 6 and 7 can make them, and I just couldn't up till now. No matter how many times Roberta showed me, they always went wrong... I got a square, but that square wasn't in line with the one before!

So tonight, we had a little Scoobie session in Youth Club (yea i know it's for the kids but whatever) and Roberta taught me and Karen how to do them, and then...I couldn't as soon as I was on my own. But eventually learnt an easy way of doing it and here's my finished scoobie... dah-dah-dah-dah-dah!


Went to Karen's afterwards for hot chocolate (yum!) and we sat and talked and finished off our scoobies - it was like a knitting circle only with scoobies, i suppose you could call it a scoobie circle...?

I've just realised i think scoobie is actually spelt scoubie! I suppose it doesn't really matter, we all know what we mean!

And at least now I can stand up in a classroom and not be embarassed because I CAN MAKE SCOUBIEDOOS TOO!

Hmmmm...

It seems some people don't like the black as much as the pink...i'm kinda torn, the black isn't as comfy, but I've always been partial to black backgrounds, i remember once in Inters and Craftsmen (part of the now defunct [sob] Campaigners in our Church) doing a photography badge, and we were given card and all, but oh no, I had to go out and buy some black cardboard and some pastel pens to write on it with! Dermo, you might remember that I won the prize....!

I haven't really blogged in a while, been doing some other non-geek things like living my life instead of writing about it... i think it takes a bit of both, if you don't have a life, what have you to write about....? So what have I been doing? Well, on Tuesday, Lisa and I went down to Queens to practise for our quickly approaching Diploma exams, this was scary, cos it seems as if Lisa as been doing a lot more practise than I have!!! I got a parking ticket tho for parking in the wrong place so not so nice! Wednesday was choir where once again I was made to be a tenor - really! I think if my voice drops, i'm gonna sue my music teacher, my voice is low enough as it is, and the reason i was made to be a tenor was that I couldn't reach a high E, for which he said i needed a doctors note...the man is a tyrant! I wish he would leave, then Jayne would be in charge and then everything would be just lovely! On thursday I went to Julie's house for dinner (after eating my own at home) and I cooked the spaghetti for her (just in case anyone didn't hear that on thu nite!) It was a little stuck together because she had no oil, but I thought it tasted all rite! And today I skived Uni :-0 because I had one class from 9 to 10 and I would have spent more time travelling than in the class. So i was very industrious, did my washing, washed my hair, cashed a cheque from the Tax Office (which was very overdue), then went to town and spent all my money!

AND...tonight I made my first scoobie! I think i'm gonna make a new entry about this cos you're prob so bored by now, or you got fed up before now, and it's really very interesting and I've got pictures too...!

No More Pink!

I was gettin a little fed up with the girly-pinky-ness of my blog recently so I've adopted a more neutral background. Haven't got any links etc yet cos I lost all those when I changed the template, but will hopefully get them back up soon! However as you can see, I haven't totally abandoned pink! I don't think any girl ever can, really!

Guy Bitching

Was having a conversation with a friend earlier and we were talking about how guys can be just as bitchy as girls (maybe even worse...) but after thinking about it, realised that because guys just say what they think, out loud, they get it out of their system quicker and that's how guys seem to stay friends even tho they moan about each other! So girls, maybe we should just tell everyone how it is and then we'd all be friends... instead of storing it all up and it becoming a big thing....although chances are that maybe we'd take even more offence that way, maybe it's better just thinking someone doesn't like you than knowing it for definite? I don't know, but i'm thinkin we cud learn from guys just a little bit...

Castles in the Sky

This picture is kinda cute

This is my 50th post!

If there was a prize I'd win it!

But there's not.

And even if there was, i wouldn't deserve it cos i never gave my competition winner their prize - sorry chris! better luck next time! (no seriously i will get you a freddo bar - sometime!)

It's a Micra Adventure!

I drove over the new Toome Bridge tonight. I like taking my car new places.

Fat Fountain

I cooked dinner tonite, I fried some sausages and onions, and had beans with it. But the hilarious thing was that when my brother stuck his fork into one of the sausages to put it on his plate, a big stream of some sort of liquid poured out of it for ages, squirting out like a burst pipe or something... I dunno what it was but it looked funny. Suppose if you thought about it it could be quite disgusting.

This has been a day of laughs, cos earlier on in a lecture on reading recovery we were watching a video of a reading lesson - i know it's a sin to laugh at kids, but this wee girl was really funny - her favourite thing was to say 'hmmmm' just like a grown-up, when she was thinking... i suppose you had to be there, but half of the year were giggling away the whole time. Fortunately the lecturer saw the funny! Or we could have all been in trouble!!
