Mar. 9, 2009 - Past birthdays and ribbons

Having a birthday being over is one of the saddest things. I didn't really anything in particular for my birthday. Just spent the day with family and friends. The best thing I could wish for. I feel kind of sad though. Just knowing another year of my life is gone is depressing. I'm not really dwelling on it to much. I got some really beautiful antique clothing I absolutely adore and I also got a new Josh Groban CD(which I'm totally freaking out about).

I love Archeology but I still can't push writing aside. My stories and thoughts just keep pouring out in an overflow. My characters are rather odd though. When I think up a setting for my heroine's room it always turns out full of ribbons and pictures, plants, and colors. I don't think I've ever said this but I love ribbons. I only have about twenty and most of them are white, so I'm looking for other colors. Ribbons, roses, beads, music, and books go together.

Just came on here to talk about nothing really so I guess I'll sign off. God bless!

Feb. 22, 2009 - Archeology

My birthday is coming up, and I'm very excited since I'm turning 15! Differences are about to happen, although I'm a little nervous about what they are.

This morning at church my dad announced his calling to the ministry. My mother and I knew all along, and we were waiting for him to announce it. He wants to become a pastor, but he also thought about going over sea's to minister. I still want to write very much, but a dream ever since I was a child was that I wanted to be an Archaeologist. It's been nagging at me for these last couple of months, and I've been looking into it. I seriously think that I will go into archeology. My parents have been thinking about taking a trip into Egypt (They're still thinking) and they thought it was a sign when I told them what I wanted to do.

We've been praying and asking our church to be with us. My dad's struggling with his calling, and I'm struggling with the change of my thoughts. I just wanted to get this off of my chest and ask everyone to be praying for me and my family.

I'm also getting envolved with my first true relationship and it doesn't help my thoughts, but I really like him. It's always sad when you grow up another year, and I'm deffinately stepping. Although I need these stepping stones, it still saddens me.

Jan. 9, 2009 - Hunny and Mori

For my schoolwork I had to compare two objects.

I have decided to compare people, so I chose Mitsukuni Haninozuka and Takashi Morinozuka(shorts: Hunny and Mori). I chose these two characters because they’re inseparable, yet as unalike as can be. Hunny is fun, childlike and lovable, while Mori is dark, strong, and wild.

They’re both eighteen yet Hunny is short(thereby giving him the child appearance) and Mori is tall(giving him the OMG appearance). When people come to call on them, they want both, because it is so fantastic to see the way they care for each other(Mori caring for Hunny most of the time). Occasionally, you’ll get some odd girl who prefers one over the other.

Hunny enjoys cake, flowers, and his bunny, Usa-chan. I think Mori enjoys whatever Hunny likes(of that I cannot be sure). They both do karate and can do some kick-butt action.

I can’t really say who is my favorite. I adore Hunny because of his cute and lovable character, but I also love Mori’s strong and silent state. I squeal when Hunny does something cute and I swoon when Mori even talks(he hardly ever talks).

I support both sides very strongly since I have a strong likening for both. I had thought about doing the twins, Kaoru and Hikaru, but they’re both my most favorite characters and I wouldn’t have been able to chose between them either. Since they’re my favorite characters I would have gone on and I decided to spare you.

Oct. 3, 2008 - Trick Dog Bank

Hey everyone! My dad got this old toy from a friend called the Trick Dog Bank. It's from the 1940's and it's missing a few peices. Well we went on ebay to look for another one that is "not fully there" and couldn't find any. You see the ones on ebay were cast iron and ours is plastic. No matter where I look they are all cast iron. The toy maybe plastic, but it's not cheap. It's made in USA. Everything today is made in China. (It's a family tradition of ours to look at the tag to see where the items were made.)

The toy is missing the hoop and the lever that gets it started. It's really cute though. If anyone knows anything about the PLASTIC ones than please leave me a message.

I still want to know how to get pictures on my entries. I can only get a limited few.

~Rosethorn

I also saw Howl's Moving Castle. Awesome!

Sep. 20, 2008 - Howl's Moving Castle

Has anyone ever seen Howl's Moving Castle? Well, I haven't, but it looks good. I have two links one my side bar. One is labeled Stroll through the Sky, and the other Howl's Moving Castle. Check it out.

Bye, Rosethorn

Sep. 19, 2008 - Pictures help

Can anyone tell me how I can put pictures in my entrys? I thought I had it figured out. I mean I can get pictures on my entrys, but only about five. The ones you see now are all I can get. If I try to put a new picture in it will erase an old picture.

I've figured out how to put pictures on my blog template, just not in the entrys. If anyone can help me, just post me a comment, or send me a private message. I'm really dumb to pictures so I probably sound stupid right now.

Thanks, Rosethorn

Sep. 9, 2008 - Sooooooooo busy!

Whoa! I have not made a new entry in forever. I have been soooooo busy. Sorry, everyone. Started school about three weeks ago. Don't know how to respond to that. I've started my theatre group again. I've been so busy with my youth group. Our leader left, and we're, how do I put it, stranded? Yeah.

My dad and mom have been doing everything. See, we are a very small church, and if we want to go on another mission trip we have to work really hard. It's tuff.

I'm doing my spanish right now so I can't say much. Just one more thing. I read the last Twilight book, Breaking Dawn, and wow that was a dosy. Real Spicy! I mean I've read books that have smoldered in my hands, but if little kids are reading that! I don't know what to think. I have to go!

~Rosethorn

I also just discovered I love Emmy Rossum!

Jul. 5, 2008 - Mission Trip to Spencer

Today I just got back from a mission trip to Spencer with my youth group. This is the second time I've been on a mission trip, and I love it. Last year we went to Alabama with World Changers. This year it was Team Effort. It was just us and a church from Texas.

It wasn't so hard this year. We had three work days and two fun days(last year it was four work days and one fun day). We went hiking and swam at the Falls. On Friday we had some extra time before we went and saw the fire works. So, we decided to go see a movie. We ended up seeing Kung Fu Panda. LOL

I loved it! Such a cute movie. Anyway the fire works were splendid, and we had a safe trip home. I'm glad we got to do something for Team Effort. Even though it was only building a deck, and doing random fix it jobs around the campsite. Did I tell you it was a campsite? The Chapel and cabins are a little away from the sites.

The people who ran Team Effort were just teens. Maybe a little older. The youngest was eighteen, and most of them were in college. They ran the Chapel services, and surprisingly they did really good. The best of their ability. They connected with most of the kids since they weren't much older themselves.

All I can say now, is that I'm glad that I went, and I'm thrilled I got to show some of God's Love through what we did. I'm also tired.

May. 14, 2008 - Preformance

On May 3(which is a Sat.) I had my first preformance with my theatre group. On the first show as soon as we got on I was really nervous. Half way through I looked up at the lights shining down, and I realized this is where I want to be. Maybe not as a profession, but as a hobby. I just loved it. Backstage with my friends laughing at stupid things. Although me personaly I didn't say much.

My group did get in trouble one time. We were told that we were screaming. Our leader is still mad.

I have to go, my mom is calling me.

May. 2, 2008 - Emma

I love Emma by Kaoru Mori. I've only read them to volume 5, but I absolutely adore them. Here is a video of one of my favorite books. I will put it on at the bottom of blog since I only have a code.

Please look at this video! Scroll down to the bottom and look at this video!

This is a one time chance. I will soon erase the video. Maybe

Thank You!

May. 2, 2008 - Pictures

Here are some pictures I've been meaning to post.

Here is my rose. If I had taken the pictures a few days ago you would have seen it at it's main beauty. I wish I had taken the picture earlier, but I didn't so here is the dying version.

This is my dog Becky. Last week she got hit by a car. Our neighbor called us while we were out and about, and told us she had been hit. Well, we were 1-2 hours away. My mom called her mom(^_^) and she went to pick Becky up. When we got to my grandmother's house I rushed inside to see if Becky was okay. She had cuts(holes more like) up and down two of her legs. The worst was on the back right. When I saw her trying to limp towards me I just about cried. Then when I saw the cuts I did cry.

Mind you this is a week later so her cuts have healed pretty well. Almost. I would have zoomed in on the worst cut, but my mom didn't want me to make you all sick. ^_^

Last night I was listening to my playlist in my blog. When I got to the song "So She Dances" by Josh Groban I flipped out. Whoever had put the song on playlist.com must have had a messed up version, because JG's voice sounded wrong. It sounds to deep. I know on some songs he sounds deep, but this sounds like they mixed him up with an old man. Here is my reaction.

I have more pictures, but my computer is not working right. But I also won't put them on their so I don't bore you to death with my pictures.

May. 1, 2008 - Lesson 9

I find that Josh Groban's song "Oceano" sounds really good while reading this. I have the song on my playlist if you want to scroll down.

Long Version

One appealingly sunny day little Edward and Belle decided to go to the beach. So here they were marching along the path just as happy as ever. Once they saw the sandy shore they broke into a run and scrambled down the bank. When they had finally arrived on the tumbling sand they huffed and puffed as only little children could do.

Tiny Belle gazed around in delight, but Edward showed his amazement by running around everywhere. Belle shuffled forward still entranced. She saw a dolphin in the distance jump in an ark. “Oh!” , she thrillingly exclaimed. But the dream was not to last. She heard her brother shout from way down the shore line. Belle sighed thinking her brother had once again gotten himself in trouble.

She trudged down the beach till she arrived next to her brother. Before she could even open her mouth Edward said, “Look!” He pointed. She looked down and saw an ancient boat washed on the shore. “Ohhhh”, she murmured as she saw something shining within it.

Short Version

One absolutely delectable day Edward and Belle had decided to go to the beach. That was an hour ago. At the moment they were looking about them in ecstasy. Belle was gazing at the ocean while Edward searched the shore. His sharp eyes stopped on something. “Look, dear Belle.” he said. He pointed at a boat that had washed up on the shore. Belle frowned. She had an eye only for Beauty. Then a feebly baby’s cry came from within the boat. Belle hurriedly scrambled down the hill and peered into the boat.

Sorry, this is an add on. I didn't read the directions

1.     "Its here! It arrived today." Brian ran for the door and jerked it open. "This for you, kid?" The deliveryman thrust a heavy, oddly shaped package into Brian's hands.
2.    "Come back here with my horse!" Jack shouted. The outlaw laughed. "Come and catch him, if you can."
3.   "Will they come back?" Tina whispered. She looked at her brother for an answer. "I don't know," Peter said. "I hope not."
4.   Samantha folded her arms across her chest, squinted, and snapped her gum - daring the teacher to scold her.
5.   Sara awoke and leapt from her bed. She ran to the window, threw open the curtains, and gasped.
6.   It all started with Zach - like it usually does. I mean, he's my best friend (and friends are hard to come by in the middle of outer space, so I'm not too particular), but sometimes he can be a real pain.
7. Jamie loved spiders. Especially the big, hairy ones.
8.   The double suns of Epsilon 5 rose, blood-red, over the jagged mountains, casting an eerie shadow behind the ship.
9.   What - Mary asked herself - was the point of trying to be good, when nobody really cared about her?

Apr. 24, 2008 - Beast

I am a Beast. Or, at least I feel like one. Right now I feel awful. My allergies are killing me. One rub of the eyes and it's over. I feel as if I could die of nasal congestion. I had lice a couple of months ago. Two times in a row, in fact. My parents are sure I have it again. My dad is sure, my mom not so. There is no proof of the bugs being in my hair. I have brushed my hair over the sink the last month, and have seen nothing. I've also checked my pillow each morning and night. I am Beast.

Ok, right now you're probably grossed out with me. I am to. I am about finished with my school work, and have many tests. My theatre group is having a preformance soon, and I have practice every Sat. & Sun. Since the preformance is next weekend we will be having practice every evening the next week. And to top it off I think the boy I like, likes me. Great, now I have problems. Although I might be imagining things. Crap!

I am not in a good mood. But(putting on a fake smile) I thought I'd tell you I've decided to try breeding roses. I love roses(as you already know) and I want to create my own. I just bought my first rose. It's called a Lincoln. I used to have a yellow rose, but it died(I'm very upset, and have not gotten over it). I'm hoping to section a part of my yard to mix roses. I still haven't persuaded my mom. I will also be trying some roses recipes. Such as Rose Jam, Rose Tea, Rose water, Rose perfume, etc.

" And so, I'm trying to look at the bright side of this. I have my roses. . .and, uhh. . .the magnificent boy I like. ", she gulped as she passed a hand over her eyes.

If anyone has a spiritual and comforting verse from the Bible I would be much obliged if you would send it to me. Or an uplifting poem or sonnet. That would also be soothing. Thank you from a much less cheerful girl. (I probably sound pitiful right now, I'm not that pitiful just . . . at the moment)

~ Rosethorn

After thought: I'm not that sure that the boy I like likes me.

After thought 2: Who do you prefer Matthew McFayden or Colin Ferth? I love MM, but I think I have come to like CF better. Unbelievable! Only Mr. Darcy fans answer this. Please!

Ding Dong the Witch is dead!

Sorry! I have two new blogs. The first one is for stories. I've had it for awhile now.

The next one is about EMO love. I have my music videos on that one.

http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/isEMO

The reson why I made a blog about EMO love is to discuss EMO with people and to get their veiws on EMO. Just check it out and tell me what you think.

And all of the friends I already have don't be frightened to check it out either.

Mar. 31, 2008 - Lesson 8

Sorry, I have not written in a long time. I have been very busy. My most humble apologies.

Just beyond the Durell forest lays a vast field of little pink and yellow flowers. Every once and awhile you will see a small and intricate blue cornflower. At the moment this field is not as peaceful as I have described it. I wouldn’t be able to hear Sia if she wasn’t shouting. Look, now she spreads her arms wide and falls backwards into the hill of flowers. She has disappeared from sight. I can hear her bubbling laughter fill the field and forest beyond.

The flowers around her give a tremor. Oh! All of a sudden she sits up and shouts in joy, “I found a cornflower!” She jumps up, and now spins in an ark. The tiny flowers pinned in her hair fly away. She stops and laughter spills out of her again. She sighs and looks at her blue flower (which by now has lost several petals) in complete contentment.

I have written this from my point of veiw. I hope very much it is correct. I have read and reread it over again and again. I even made my mother read it many times also.

Mar. 27, 2008 - Roses

I love roses! They are just about the most beautiful things in this world. One reason why I love them so much is because they are my name-sake.

Rosita - Little Rose

My name means little rose. It's spanish, and also my grandmother's name. My grandmother was born in Panama. Of course, she had to learn english for the sake of her husband and children. Everyone says I have dark and beautiful skin. I don't know where they get it from, because my mother has the darker skin and hair. Also at the moment I am very pale. Back in the old days pale skin was a beauty. Right now I don't think so. I fear any day I'll be able to see through myself. ^_^

My favorite color is yellow. I tell everyone my favorite rose is the yellow rose, but to be truthful I love the red and crimson ones most of all. Velvet petals, silky and soft as they may be are ruined by the thorns on the stem. I don't mind. If the thorns prick me I just rub the blood into the rose itself. To give it brighter colors I guess.

Anyone who loves roses should read the book "Rose Daughter" by Robin McKinley.

Mar. 27, 2008 - Hummmph

I have changed this template I don't know how many times. I think I have finally found one I like, and I can do almost anything with it. So if the template has changed many different times don't be alarmed.

I'm going to try to give my blog an elven feel. Then again, I might do something with roses.That is all I have to say. ^_^

Mar. 17, 2008 - Lesson 7

Before: It rained all week during our camping trip.

After: Rain hit our tent like little explosions. Thunder roared and the ground shook. Outside the land was awash in a flood of water. People with umbrellas skipped and hopped over puddles.

Before: Katie saw a scary sea creature at the aquarium.

After: As Katie approached the glass she saw out of the corner of her eye a flip of a fin. Next thing she new a large yellow beady eye was staring at her. She jumped back in fear. Her whole body trembled and her hands shook. Once she realized what a harmless creature the large sea turtle was she stopped shaking and laughed at how ridicules she had acted.

Before: As I entered the cave, I found the object of my search - the lost treasure chest of the Ancients.

After: I walked toward the craggy cave in strained silence. Timidly, I called out, “Hello?" It echoed off the walls like giant leaps. Angrily, I chastised myself realizing how foolish I was acting. I walked into the cave, very aware at how loud my boots rang against the rock. A small slithering stream wove its way through the cave getting my boots very damp. It's so dark in here I wish I would have brought my lamp. Next thing I knew I am holding onto the edge of a pit, I must have stepped into it when I was sulking. A dim light is shining on my back. I let go of the rock hopping the fall wasn't to long. It isn't that deep of a pit, but just deep enough to give me a jolt. While I crouch I can see before me the chest of the Ancients I had so long looked for. Mesmerized I reach out my hand to touch the gold. It's real! I can feel a smile spread over my face, but wait, oh, now my smile is gone. I just realized my next challenge. How am I going to get out of this hole?

Here is the beginning of my story:

The forest is alive. She could hear its voice. But then, why couldn’t anyone else?

Wind whipping, leaves falling, voices egging her on. This is some of the many things Sia can hear.

I'm sorry that my pictures didn't show. I'm working on it.
