~Meet Taylor~
Nov. 11, 2009 Why?
Why is it, when I have such a great life: an indescribable relationship with the Lord, a wonderful family, fantastic friends, a house that fits our needs, enough food, the amazing blessing of being homeschooled, a loving church, that I can still complain? Why do I still fight with my sisters because they won't let me on the Xbox, or they're plunking on my piano? Why is it that even though I am so thankful to be homeschooled, I still whine and sulk over having to balance chemistry equations? I mean, that is probably one of the most childish things I could do. Homeschooling is the oportunity of a lifetime for me, and I'm thanking my parents by complaining about science. Being homeschooling is one of the greatest things that have happened to me, it's making me smarter each day, shouldn't I be thankful that I have to do chemistry? My sisters and I have the greatest times with each other, talking and laughing about who knows what, and singing to the top of our lungs, and I show my appreciation by arguing when they won't move on the couch? Oh boy, God and I have some work to do.
God Bless You,
Taylor |

Nov. 8, 2009 =/, >=(, and =D
Hey ya'll! What's new? I have alot of news just in the last few days.
To start off, we have no more pet rats, they have a new home. We just couldn't keep them anymore. I'm not sad or happy, very indifferent.
Don't play with fire, kids. Yesterday my family and I were working in the backyard, and Dad lit a fire on the burn pile. And, me and Emma, being the girls we are, had a fun time setting sticks on fire and messing around with it. Well, Emma just took a stick out of the fire and poked me in the back of the neck with it! It was not nice, to say the least, but I was too surprised to feel as much pain as I should have. Apparently it looks really bad, but I wouldn't know, because I can't see the back of my neck.
My dad took my sisters and I to an Annie Moses Band concert tonight, and our friends were there too! Oh, it was SO fun, I had a great time, and there were a few other friends from FASA there too. They let J___ sing his song with them. *melts* After the concert, Jeremiah (the youngest of the group), my sisters, friends, and I went outside and played tag. Afterwards, we just talked alot about FASA, had some "fist" fights, other things. It was so great, I love it when we are able to see them!
God Bless You,
Taylor |

Nov. 4, 2009 Busier Than I Thought.
Finally, I'm making a real entry. First off, last Sunday I worked in the nursery at our church. Preschoolers are alot of work, but it was fun, I enjoyed it.
Yesterday my sisters and I played our instruments at a church for some special dinner they were having. Emma and Hailey did great. I did....eh.
Next Sunday we're going to an Annie Moses Band concert! Yipee! I do believe that Hailey is going to confront Jeremiah about him "kidnapping" the baby she was holding at FASA. And she's probably going to confront Ben about what Starbucks drink it was that he was carrying, since she has a Starbucks gift card now. *Winks at Hailey*
I'm sick. Not majorly sick, but still sick, I have a sore throat and my ears kind of hurt. =/ Well, such is life.
Hailey and I got Emma Seasons 3 and 4 of I Love Lucy for an early birthday present. We've already watched all of Seasons 1 and 2, and we're rushing through Season 3 to get to 4, when they're off to Hollywood!
Mom gave us the day off in school today. Thanks Mom!
Emma won first place in a flute contest she was in, yay for Emma! *Confetti*
That's all I have to say for now, other than Christmas is taking to long to get here.
God Bless You,
Taylor |

Oct. 30, 2009 No. Way.
Are my sisters and I seriously doing this? Are we really typing up the whole script to The Lord of the Rings? We must be crazy or something. It takes a cowboy (me), and evil dentist (Hailey), and a queen (Emma). I'm sure others have done it, but, really, are we out of our minds?
God Bless You,
Taylor

Oct. 17, 2009 Candy is a waste of time!
This is Hailey logged into my sister's blog, and she is under close surveillance of what I am typing, nad her hadn is restign on the bakskpace key. I'm half doing thises typose on puproipose. Well, not relaly, I was at first, beut now htery'e on accidnet. Eamma's lenaning her haead on my amr and she's making me typer woring. We hwere playing Lord of te rings trival Purpsiut. Taylor picked Arsgfagoarn baut I waneted him. So I had to settle for Gandlalft. but she chanregged Aragonrn to FArmaamir, nad I changed Galndalt f to Samrouruman. bBut I donidn't wnat to be Saruman so I decided to be Wibleur Wonkea, who is Wily Wondka's ddad. He is a dentiasdnt and says candlyf is a weaste of tim, hence the timtlel i mean title. Then Faramir sidid somthing that made me mad, but I can' remember whoat it was, so it must nowht have been that importianrt. So I sasid I wnated to cut out his wisdom rteeth hwen he was stiil awake. (Now Emma'shead is off my earm and I can type normallyy, except for sometypos htat I don't feel like fixing. I meake a lot of typose. Well, right now I don, because I'm on Dad's laptop, and his keyboar d is hard to type on ad I'm typing too fast.) I beedgged him to make a bet htat if I won the agame, I could do that but he said he wouldnt' make any stypiud bets. I nevver win the lord of ther rings trivial pursit game, nad Taylor/Farmadfir ALWAYS wins. so I knwoe I wouldt' win the game, I woanted to amke the bet anyway. So we argued for aabout an hour about it. Lady Eowyn was wahtching the whole time and occasitslonly whsitpering somtehing to Famrair. So we settled on that if Farmair won I would have to eat a whoel bucket of candy, and if I won which I definishtely woudln't, I would be able to clena his teeth, muahahaha. But thne I realiezed I was worng and the bet was stupid and I was being mean, so we went outsdie and came back in and now ehre Iam.
PLEASE SCROLL DOWN AND READ TAYLOR'S LATEST REAL ENTRY. THANK YOU.
I know Taylor's password, and I would love to give it out to anyone who PMs gelpenprincess.
Do you think I was serious??

Oct. 16, 2009 That Song - "Early One Morning Just as the Sun was Rising, I Heard a Fair Maid Sing in the Valley Below, 'Oh, Don't Decieve Me, Oh, Never Leave Me, How Could You Use a Poor Maiden So?'"
Hello my good friends! I hope God has blessed you in many ways this week! I have had a wonderful week myself.
It has been fall break in our house, a very nice one too. Though, I've been rather lazy, doing absolutely nothing. No reading, other than my Bible, no writing, other than one sentence. But hey, everyone needs a few do-nothing days everyonce in a while. Watching Lord of the Rings, I Love Lucy, and Bonanza, playing board games, and playing Wallace and Gromit video games.
We went to the State Fair today! It was so very fun, I rode on alot of rides, and now I am really tired. *slumps back in her uncomfy chair and clutches her chai tea, thinking of what to say next* *Accidentally spills some tea on herself, and runs to get a towel* *Comes back*
On Tuesday, my family and I went to a man's house, and he set up his whole backyard to look like an old western town. Full scale! He's even had a movie filmed there! This man has acted in quite a few old west movies and TV shows, including Bonanza *eep!*. He even gave me his autograph. =D Here are some pictures...

Outside the Barber Shop and Bank

In the church

A horse and a donkey/burro/thingy

That big building that is taking up most of the picture is the hotel

The town

Me and Emma on the balcony of the hotel

Barber's Shop

I always knew Emma would end up in jail one day ;-P

Quit sulking! You'll have your trial soon enough!

I thought no one under age could go into a saloon =/

"What'll it be?"

A House

The Mercantile
*runs off singing a weird messed up version of "Go Down Moses"*

Oct. 6, 2009 I'm a Cowboy with a Fedora on my Head and a Pen at my Side. Life is Good.
Hey ya'll. Hailey let me borrow her hat, and so I feel really cool, cause I never wear hats, it's an awesome fedora. Dad got me a mini pen, it's attatched to my pocket. =) Well, not much is going on at this moment, piano lesson and community group for church are tomorrow, and I get to help look after the little kids this week in community group! *loves all the kids in the group* Okay, I really feel like talking about my church.
My church is totally completely awesome. It is really small, but everyone is really friendly to each other, and they make people feel so at home. There are almost no other kids my age, accept for my sisters and best friends. That doesn't matter to me though, I actually like it, because at sunday school the teacher can focus on everyone as an individual instead of it being addressed to a giant group.
I dug up some tags from a few months back and feel like doing them now.
Rules: grab the nearest book. open it to page 56. find the fifth sentence. post the next two to five sentences on your blog along with these instructions. don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book or the intellectual one. pick the CLOSEST!!!!! tag a few other people to do the same.
*doesn't exactally know which book is closest to her, because there are so many books next to her. So, she randomly picks Les Miserables*
"The occasion was this:"
How's that for an interesting senctence? Anyone can take this tag.
Here is another tag I found.

(A bunch of feathered things come out of NOWHERE and save EVERYBODY.)
THE END
MOBY DICK
Herman Melville
Ishmael:
Call me Ishmael.
Captain Ahab:
Crew, we will seek the white whale and kill it, because I am insane.
Crew:
Alas, your destructive obsession will be our undoing.
(They almost find the white whale. Then they almost find the white whale. Then they find it.)
Captain Ahab:
I stab at thee. I stab at thee.
(Everybody dies except Ishmael, although this is no surprise, because it was foreshadowed CONTINUALLY from the BEGINNING.)
THE END
How's that? Not much is going on around here, not much at all. And not much will until the state fair. Oh, it's in 15 days! Yay!
Blessings,
Taylor

Sep. 28, 2009 How Many Hours in the Car Does it Take Until Taylor Looses Her Marbles?
Hello everyone, I'm back! The trip was so awesome, I can't even tell you how much I enjoyed it! You see pictures of Niagara Falls, and think, well, it's just a waterfall, but wow, it's just so mind blowing! We went on the boat to go under the falls, and oh my word, the view was just spectacular! I loved it, this was probably one of my most favorite trips.
The car ride there and back was....long. Very long. All we really did was watch I Love Lucy and Bonanza. Do you know what that can do to your brain? For 12 hours in a row? Well, you know you're going nuts, and you know you're homeschooled when, on the way back, while watching Bonanza, you start tweaking the episode you are watching, and make it into something completely different. Changing it to have iPhones, Lassie, poisoned ice cream, Arkansas, yah. It's nice. You also know if you're homeschooled when you and your sister desides to turn all of it into a play, and name of some of the characters are Jakum and Arkansas Pete. Scared yet?
I'd give you a sumary, but it's rather complex. Let's just say, Pa gets an iPhone, Adam borrows it, it gets stolen alot, they go to Arkansas to have a trial, a bunch of shooting, a bunch of dead and passed out people, and it all works out in the end. And that, my friends, is how I know I am homeschooled. ;-P
Blessings,
Taylor |

Sep. 24, 2009 The Biscuit of Zazzamarandabo, It Lies Atop a Mount of Snow, High in the Hills where the Cold Winds Blow, the Biscuit of Zazzamarandabo! Come on, Let's Go, The Biscuit of Zazzamarandabo!
Well, this is my last day on HSB until Monday. Because tomorrow, at around 5:00 AM, my family and I are off to Niagara Falls! How exciting! I do have a little bit of a cold, but that is not going to stop me from going.
Mom got me and Hailey a book called "Writing Magic". It was written by the same person who wrote "Ella Enchanted". It's about creative writing, and how to write well. I can't wait to get into it!
My "Best of Bonanza" DVD came, yay!
For Hailey's birthday, our friends came over. We had lots of fun singing and dancing, watching a little bit of "Rear Window", swinging on the tree swing, eating Dippin' Dots, alot of fun! My present to Hailey STILL hasn't come yet, ugh! It had better come today, or else Hailey won't get it until...at least Sunday.
Right now my sisters and I are singing Silly Songs. =D
Well, I must go my friends, so long!
Blessings,
Taylor
By the way, no song of the entry today, I'll just post this video.

Sep. 20, 2009 Alot to Say
Okay, hello people out there! I have some news, and just some things to talk about.
Well, Hailey's birthday is tomorrow!!!! Happy happy Birthday Hailey! She'll be 13. We're having her birthday dinner today. I can't tell you what I got her because I haven't given it to her yet, and I don't want her to know.
Here is some REALLY exciting news. My family and I are going to take a trip to................Niagra Falls! We're leaving on Friday, I am SO happy!
Well, when we were at church, Jessica told me to post about Veggie Tales, so I shall do so. Veggie Tales is just one of the most awesome things ever! I really wish I had some DVDs of it, but I don't. I can only listen to the silly songs on my computer. Larry ish awesome, he rockeths my socks. Alot of the time, I will randomly burst singing Silly Songs. Cool people watch Veggie Tales. Okay Jessica, is that good?
Also, while I was at church, I can't remember if it was Martha or Tallulah that told me to post about this, but one of them told me to post about Bonanza. Well, I don't know if ya'll are tired of me talking about it, but I'll do it some more to please them, and also, I really like to do it. ;)
Bonanza is just SO awesome! SO awesome! Shoot-outs are awesome too. Adam is awesome, he's the best! I was watching Bonanza just this morning, and it was probably my one of my favorite episodes so far! It was about this guy who was killing Indians, and the Indians were after him. Well, all the Cartwrights didn't know about that, so they helped him some. Adam went to get water, and he got SHOT! POOR ADAM! (as you can probably tell, I like Adam the best, he rockeths my socks off too) It was really bad, and they thought he was gonna die, but of course he didn't. Well, everything works out in the end, so you don't really have to know much more. Alright, I hope whoever asked me to post this is happy, cause I am. :)
Blessings,
Taylor

Sep. 17, 2009 Here's my Entry Title
Hi everyone! I hope ya'll are doing well. I know that I am, for the most part at least.
Well, first off, I'm updating now half because my friend Jessica says she'll sue me if I don't, and half because I just want to, so there you have it.
School is....school. Almost every day I get so stressed that it will take all day to do it, and at always turns out that I finish at 3:00 at the most. So yes Mom, you're right, I don't have to much school.
By the way, I'm just curious, why is it that most girls my age have crushes on celebrities, but I have crushes on characters? Is this natural, because I know that these people don't exist, but, I just feel like marrying them sometimes! Would ya'll like to see the list? Well, even if you don't, you will.
| Characters |
Novels/ Shows the Character is From |
Why I Like Them |
| Adam Cartwright |
Bonanza |
He's responsible, trustworthy, he does what's right, even when others don't think it is, a very good big brother and son, and an AWESOME gun-slinging cowboy! |
| Faramir |
The Lord of the Rings |
Even though he isn't loved by his father, he's such a steadfast guy, my poor little Faramir. |
| Samwise Gamgee |
The Lord of the Rings |
What can I say; he's Sweet Sam! He is so loyal, he will do anything for his Mister Frodo. |
| Mr. Woodcourt |
Bleak House |
He is awesome. He loves Esther, even when he is away from her for so long and when she gets the smallpox, and he is such a good friend to Richard. |
| Colonel Brandon |
Sense and Sensibility |
He is so loyal to loving Marianne, even when she is in love with Willoughby, and two words. His. Voice. |
| Mr. Darcy |
Pride and Prejudice |
Aw, it's Darcy. He's a sweety, a fish out of water.He helps Elizabeth after she said all those mean things about him, he's just a good guy. |
Well, there ya go, I hope ya'll approve of all my guys. That's the order I like them in right now, but it switches alot.
Today, before school, Mom took my sisters and I to a neat little bakery. I had a chocolate eclair there, it was so good!
Dadzy is gone today, he's been gone for a while on a trip to Michigan for work. He left Sunday evening, and will come back on late late LATE Friday night.
Blessings,
Taylor

Emma is playing hobbit music now, I LOVE hobbit music! Well, any Lord of the Rings music.
I finished reading Pride and Prejudice yesterday! Now I can focus on The Silmarillion, I really need to work on that one.
Yesterday, I started my piano lessons again. Let's just say, I was out of practice. Very much so. I couldn't do the easy things, but I could do the hard things, it's very strange.
When community group was over yesterday, some families went home, but a few stayed, because the people who were hosting the group that day were pulling out their telescope so we could see Jupiter! It was amazing, I could see two of it's moons, and some of the stipes on it! It was so great!
Today I got a cream soda and a lemon cookie. Yum!
Well, a little while ago, I was awarded my LLT, and I just haven't put it up until now. Well, here it is!
