I'm gonna have an other just for fun video post! This will be a lot of videos, but they will be very random, so you have a good selection. Okay, if you watch no others, watch this one. I have seen this in real life more than once, and it makes me laugh every time! =) I love School House Rock Who doesn't love Larry? *Diez* =) I hope ya'll enjoyed that! God Bless You,  Taylor http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/narnialover95/746756/ Sun, 22 Nov 2009 19:25:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/narnialover95/746756/ There is a LOT of things going on lately. First off, on Tuesday, we visited some friends who live two hours away, whom we haven't seen in 2 whole years! The mom has had 8 children in total, though one of them went to be with God just a few hours after he was born. I had a very good time with them, we played all sorts of games, and had a great time. Their ages go like this... 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, (the one who died would be 2), and 6 months. It was really great to see them again. For school, I had to watch a DVD about Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. It was so so wonderfully done, I enjoyed it alot. But it was so very sad when Prince Albert died, I cried! I've finished reading Les Miserables. I really liked it, though some of  the ideas about reality are wrong in it, it was a very good, well-written book. And Marius is so cool. ;-) Emma had her flute recital thingy, she did a really really great job! *applauds* Christmas music is playing on the radio now!!! =D I have FINALLY started writing a story. *gasp* Here is a tag I took from missirocks... List twelve fictional characters that you love from any books, movies, etc., and then answer the following questions. 1. Adam Cartwright (from Bonanza) 2. Cosette (from Les Miserables) 3. Joe Cartwright (from Bonanza) 4. Legolas (from Lord of the Rings) 5. Lucy Ricardo (from I Love Lucy) 6. Puddleglum (from The Silver Chair) 7. Ada Clare (from Bleak House) 8. Mr. Jarndyce (from Bleak House) 9. Elwood P. Dowd (from Harvey) 10. Marius Pontmercy (from Les Misrables) 11. Sir Henry Baskerville (from The Hound of the Baskervilles) 12. Jane Bennet (from Pride and Prejudice)  ******************************************* 1. Who would make a better college prof, 6(Puddleglum) or 11(Sir Henry)? Probably Sir Henry. 2. 12 (Jane) sends 8 (Mr. Jarndyce) out on a mission. What is it? Does it succeed? Oh, my. I don't think Jane would send anyone out on a mission. 3. What is or would be 9's (Elwood) favorite book? Maybe Sense and Sensibility 4. For some reason, 5 (Lucy) is looking for a roommate. Should (s)he share a studio apartment with 9 (Elwood) or 10 (Marius)? Well, she's a girl, so she shouldn't have a roomate who's a man, but I suppose Elwood. 5. 2(Cosette), 7 (Ada), and 12 (Jane) have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss? They'd probably talk about their husbands, and I'm not sure where they'd go. 6. 3 (Joe) challenges 10(Marius) to a duel. What happens? That wouldn't happen, but if it did, Joe would probably not shoot, and then Marius wouldn't shoot either, but Joe might start a fist fight. 7. If 1 (Adam) stole 8's (Mr. Jarndyce) most precious possession, how would she/he get it back? Well, I don't think Mr. Jarndyce has a most precious possession, and I don't think Adam would steal anything, so..that one is kind of..unanswerable. 9. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 (Legolas) and 1 (Adam) to work together?I'm not so sure what that means. ...They both like shooting things, but Legolas has a bow, and Adam has a gun, I don't really think they could work together that well, they seem alot different. 10. If 7 (Ada) visited you for the weekend, how would you get along? I think I'd get along very well with her, she's very sweet. 11. If you could command 1 (Adam) to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be? Oh boy! =D There's too big of a list for me to answer that. 12. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11(Sir Henry)? What? 13. If 2 (Cosette) had to choose sides between 4 (Legolas) and 5 (Lucy), which would it be? Probably Lucy. 14. What might 10 (Marius) shout while charging into battle? probably something like "Viva la republique!" 15. If you chose a song to represent 8 (Mr. Jarndyce), which song would you choose? uhh...no clue. 16. 1(Adam), 6 (Puddleglum), and 12 (Jane) are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it? Jane, probably, because Puddleglum would be all sulky, and Adam would let the lady have it. But what on earth would any of them be doing in a Chinese resturant in the first place?   17. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 (Cosette) to use on 10(Marius)? Well, they both go together, so, "I love you" ;-) 18. What would 5 (Lucy) most likely be arrested for? Oh, I can't even begin to make a list. 19. What is 6's (Puddleglum) secret? Puddleglum has no secrets. 20. If 11 (Sir Henry) and 9 (Elwood) were racing to a destination, who would get there first? I don't know, I'll say Sir Henry. 21. If you had to walk home through a bad neighborhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 (Ada) or 8 (Mr. Jarndyce)? Mr. Jarndyce, certainly! That was alot of fun! Anyone can take this one. God Bless You,  Taylor http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/narnialover95/745885/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:24:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/narnialover95/745885/ Hi everyone!  In Sunday school, we made cards to send to the family they have serving in China. We had tons of fun doing it. My church had a Thanksgiving fellowship. I helped serve the food to everyone. (By the way, dipping mashed potatoes for 30 minutes really builds the muscles in your hand ;-P. It also gave me a blister. Ow.) I enjoyed serving, especially because they invited some homeless people to join. After I finished up, I got myself a plate and sat in the corner with my friends. We had a really fun time talking about FASA and singing Annie Moses Band songs and "Early One Morning". Tomorrow my sisters and I are going to see our friends, and on Tuesday, we are going to see a family we haven't seen in 3 years! I really miss them, and I can't wait to see them again after so long! Before you leave this entry, I have a just for fun poll for ya'll to do. God Bless You, Taylor What do you think of Bonanza? I love it, it's my favorite! I like it alot. It's okay. I don't like it. I can't stand it! I've heard of it, but I've never seen it. I've seen one, but I don't realy know what I think of it. I've never heard of it.    pollcode.com free polls http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/narnialover95/744856/ Sun, 15 Nov 2009 14:32:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/narnialover95/744856/   Meet Taylor! Hello! I am a 14 year old Christian girl who is far from perfect. My relationship with the Lord means everything to me, and I'm striving to come closer to my Maker daily. Now, whether or not you are a first time visitor on my blog, there are some things that everyone should know about me. Be warned: I am not what they world thinks of as a normal teenage girl. I have two younger sisters, Hailey and Emma. They are the most fun sisters any girl could ask for! I also have four best friends and they are all sisters, Jessica, Martha, Tallulah, and Helen. I have the best parents in the whole wide world. Every summer I go to a camp in Nashville, TN, called the Fine Arts Summer Academy with the Annie Moses Band. That is one of the best times of the year for me, because I have so many friends there, and in 2009, I had the privalige of meeting three fellow bloggers, Beth, Katy, and Olivia. My favorite TV show ever is Bonanza, my favorite books and movies are the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, my favorite subjects in school are literature, history, and math, and my favorite band is the Annie Moses Band (whom I get to talk with every now and again). There is one very sweet girl I've met on HSB a year ago, who I have talked to ever since. On my blog, I call her "My Pippin", and I have been very fortunate to talk with her on the phone. Her little brother is very sick, and is constantly in and out of the hospital. He could really use your prayer. I use alot of made up words, and refer to alot of inside jokes on my blog. If you want to know what these words mean, go to my dictionary I made. That is about all you need to know about me, I hope you enjoy looking at my blog! God Bless You,  Taylor http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/narnialover95/743900/ Sat, 11 Nov 2000 12:48:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/narnialover95/743900/ 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 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/narnialover95/743833/ Wed, 11 Nov 2009 09:04:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/narnialover95/743833/ 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 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/narnialover95/743151/ Sun, 8 Nov 2009 20:33:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/narnialover95/743151/ 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.

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).
