Bloggers Award Nomination

  So, my awesome friend Liddy, or Elisabeth, (I like nicknames!) nominated me for the Best Blogging Buddy Award. How it work is:
 -You make a post to show off your awesomeness. As well as your award.
-Tag your blogging buddy who nominated you.
-Nominate all of your best buddies, as well as non-best buddies who you want to become best buddies with. Make sense?
-Ask those buddies mentioned earlier at least 15 questions on your post.
-Answer all of the questions your buddies ask you. On your post. This post. Only yours. Get it, got it, good?
            Thanks Liddy! I'm very honored by the honor which you have honored me with. ;)
  Here goes:
1) Favorite little kid’s book?
 I'm not entirely sure. I remember one that was called 'I love my daddy' that I really liked. I read it cover to cover probably every night. I also loved some sort of goodnight book. I forgot what it was called though.
 2) Favorite mid-elementary book?
  I've always adored books. I really enjoyed the Nancy Drew series though. As well as 'Life of Faith' books. I also liked the Mandie series.
3) Night owl or morning person?
Probably a night owl. But I still can't stay up past probably 10-ish without going completely bonkers! Although I cant get up before around 7:30.
4) Do you like being that way (referencing the above question)?
Not really. I used to be a morning person and that worked better.
5) Plays or musicals?
It depends on the play or musical.
6) Favorite secular Christmas song and favorite Christian Christmas song?
 You're seriously making me choose!? I love almost all of them! But I really like this one,>>>>>> I know, they look really weird! But they're really funny. I would recommend a lot of their songs if you need a laugh'
it's cheesy and funny while being Christmasy.
7) If you could choose what your dying words will be, what would you pick?
Well, it really depends on who I'm with and the situation. I really hope I can come up with some really amazing speech.
8) Which do you think is more important: justice or mercy?
  They're both important, you need a good balance of both.
9) Why to the above?
Justice is not for us to serve out. Yes, you need to punish a criminal for his crimes but you don't need to punish your brother for touching your stuff.
10) Book and/or movie that’s going to come out that you’re excited for?
Avengers 2!!! (What's with the whole strings thing? And Cap's broken sheild! AHHHHHHH!!!) I am a Marvel fanatic, so any of those movies! I'm also excited for Divergent 2 (I forgot it's actual name, sorry.)
11) If you could pick a fantasy weapon someone’s already invented (i.e., lightsabers, the Ring, Shardblades, etc.), what would it be?
 Probably a sonic screwdriver. It's not great for defense but I'd love to scare my brothers by changing the channel on the TV or something. Mwahahahaha!
12) Frodo or Sam?  (If you don’t know whom I’m talking about, first, shame on you, and second, just list a favorite book character of yours.)
What kind of question is this!? It should be obvious! SAM! I gave my mom a whole speech on why Samwise and Rory(From DW) are so under appreciated. They're so loyal and caring and just AWESOME!
13) What do you like to snack on, or do you not snack at all?
I don't really snack much but I love chips, and fruit, and Nutella! And PIZZA although that's not exactly a snack.
14) Three words that people often use to describe you?

I asked my mom and Barrett and they came up with this.> Happy thrifty creative funny and bossy. I've also been described as spunky and weird.
15) What did you want to be when you were little?
I've always wanted to be a writer, and a baker.
16) What question would you liked to be asked, and what is your answer?
Favorite movie, I guess. (<It took a while to come up with that question.) I love so many movies it's really hard to pick one. But right now it's probably Amazing Spiderman 2, This movie is so awesome! It's got action but it's not just pure action there are some other kinds of scenes too. I really don't know how to explain it. If you haven't seen it just watch it! I also love ELF (for the holidays) It's so extremely funny! Go watch it! Right now!>>>>>>>
 I also love despicable me 2 and the Lego movie. Plus so many others (LOTR, Divergent, Mom's Night Out, etc.)
17) If you could go to lunch to meet a person from history, who would it be?
Jesus!

My nominees are: Emma D. and Ruth-Anna.

I'm giving you these same questions but I'm adding a few:
 Favorite music?
Dream vacation?
Favorite thing to do?

Holidays.

So Samuel (my 2 yr. old bro) has a little book that has some sort of recording device built in so that you don't have to actually read it to him. He just sits there flipping the pages and pressing the buttons and you don't have to read it! I love that book.
                         ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry that I rarely post. I'm hoping it gets better. Sometimes I just can't think of anything to say.
                                                             ------------------------
Christmas. I love Christmas. It's awesome! I love Christmas music too. I listen to it all year long. I love watching Christmas movies. I was even thinking of being a Christmas 'elf'' (from LOTR) through the month of december. I don't know how that would turn out though...... I may reconsider that idea. I know some people are mad that there's already Christmas music on the radio but I'm happy about that. Although when they just completely skip over Thanksgiving it's kinda sad. Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday: Eating too much of Grandma's pumpkin pie (or Whipped cream in my case. That stuff's awesome!) And your Aunt's green bean casserole. Or seeing all the pilgrim-turkey man decorations. It's a beautiful thing....JK  We need to thank God. We have a holiday for it! Don't skip that. Thank the Lord!

MUSIC

I realize that I've been really bad at consistently posting. But I think that's okay. We all have busy lives and we all have priorities (Sorry but the newest episode of DW couldn't wait......JK) My brothers are really weird. Liddy,(and the other newtons) experienced that on the way home from enrichment classes. Anywhooooo, You know what my favorite part of these posts are? Showing you guys all the awesome pictures that I've collected. I really don't know where I'm goin' with this blog post, just wait. It'll come to me...... Yeah, I got nothin'. Oh wait! I've got a novel idea! Music! I will discuss music!
              ----------------------------------------------------------------------<<That's a long line. ;)
I love music. I'm sure all of you do too. How could you not? it's great! We came up with an awesome song arrangement today. It was really cool. After a lot of experimenting noise. I was just a vocalist though, so I can't really say anything. I wish I could play an instrument. I have instruments but it's just hard to learn. You see, unlike some amazing awesomnessly awesome people I can't learn too well just from watching YouTube videos. I need someone to teach me. But I don't know if that will happen, maybe one day I'll bring my guitar to Thursday classes and on of those amazing awesomnessly awesome people will be willing to teach me. But until then, I have to try my best using YouTube. I really love listening to music too. My favorite songs are the ones that tell a story. Like Johnny cash! Only not. Don't get me wrong....I got nothin' against him. I just don't enjoy his music for some reason, well that's not entirely true. I like a couple of his songs. I can't stand hard rock, note that I said HARD rock. I think some classic rock is fun to listen to (In moderation, you can only handle so much 'back in black')

but hard rock-headbanger kinda stuff is just awful to listen to. I'm not much of a fan of rap either. I like a couple of Christian rap songs. Again, note that I said a couple, meaning, like, two, maybe three. And now we'll go back to the music I like. Have you heard of Rend Collective? They're an Irish Christian band, I like them a lot! I also like the classic......Coldplay. I've currently enjoyed some Monsters and Men stuff. And Christmas songs too! I like a lot of music. As long as it's clean and good (NO Barny songs. Yes they're clean, But they're not good!), I'll listen to it. I even like veggie tales songs. Or parodys. Those are fun. What kind of music do you like? I always love new suggestions.
Always

Sooooo tech-savvy

I'm not a tech-savvy kinda person. The other day I accidentally pressed a button that made the wifi on my computer turn off and it took me two days to figure out how to turn it back on. (And Barrett actually told me how.)  Then it took me two days to figure out how to download all my 1700 pictures from my camera onto my computer. Now I can't figure out how to take pictures with my webcam. Yeah, I know it's sad. Anyways I just wanted to put some pictures on here. They're very very random.
me and 'rory'.



fireworks


Trees!!! I love fall.

I just think that this is a funny pic.

Poetic.........fails. Oh and Pizza! Can't forget about that.

I like making devious plans, it's pretty fun.
I also like listening to music, I've seriously been listening to it nonstop for two days. 
I can't multitask. In writing critique the other day I was reading my story and apparently put someone's last name as Parker because I was talking to my brothers about spiderman. 
I want pizza. 
I really do.
Like right now.
I've been deprived of pizza for like a whole day!
I'm the pizza angel. 
I NEED pizza.
Wait! Oh sorry. That was weird. Or normal. It depends on if you know me or not. Obviously you guys all know me, or you wouldn't be reading this. Anywaysssssssss
I want to share a poem with you guys....It's super serious.

Bring it on winter, we're ready for you.
Don't be shy, you can bring your snow too.

Come on, we're all mountain dorks here. 
We always keep out our cool snow gear.

Winter, we're waiting
and anticipating,

The return of the snow. 
It's been 3 months, it's time to go.

Come on snow--- actually you know what. Just stay where you are until Christmas.



and that........was not as cool as I thought. Oh well. Better luck next time.


I'll just go be Randomly Brainy somewhere else now.

Me? Weird? Thank you so much!!!!! -- My friends? Weird? Hellloooooo that's why they're my friends!

I discovered that I really like nerdy kinda things. So I suppose that makes me a nerd. I don't see what else it would make me. After all. I do have glasses (which are about as nerdy as you can get ;)
Today when we were watching Doctor Who I was yelling at the TV. People's stupidity in movies drives me absolutely crazy. (I have to hold it back in the movie theater)
I also just start randomly talking like i'm from a TV show. That probably drives other people crazy. Along with some of my other habits (like playing the cup song without any cups or clicking magnetic rocks together for hours on end.Or singing and playing the same random song over and over and over or quoting some character from a book or Marvel or BBC and occasionally veggie tales or something of that nature) Who else has these quirks? Probably none of you. Ya know. I could've made that list so much longer.
I think I have mild short term memory loss.
I'm kinda really clumsy, I've literally tripped over air before. I'm not joking.
Today in writing critique I had to apologize for my writing ahead of time. I said 'I wrote this in the morning and at night so if it's weird, well, get over it. (Although then I realized how weird writing can be.)
Sorry. Just had to explain my weirdness.
                                           ---------------------------------------------
I have some really great friends. Ya know, some people just sit on phones and such and don't even talk to other people. What's that all about? I mean seriously, you could take over the world by sending everyone a text. (Don't get any ideas) Oh wait, getting of topic. Did I put that on the list? Wait! Ah yes, there's my mind again. I kinda lost it. I like how my friends will actually engage with me rather than send me a text saying 'wt do u want 2 do' (I hate when people's grammar is off. Which is Ironic considering I use made up words like yeporooni) I love how my friends never got too old to have an imagination. I love how i'm also friends with their older siblings and they don't look at me as an immature freshman (I hope.) I love how they are all nerds with me! I could list so much more I love about them, but for your sake i'll keep my posts pretty short ;)
Keep bein' Randomly Brainy!

I finally realized that and I think it's for the better.

This is like the best quote plus it's from DW (you can't deny the awesomeness!)

Technology

Sorry for not posting very often. Life is busy. I got reading out of the way though. 950 pages done in four days. Oh and also an essay type thingamadoodad. Also, I am getting a laptop! Which means.....more posts! Now I'm not sure whether more posts is a good thing or a bad thing but I'll tell you when I find out. I've discovered that I need a job. Not a babysitting job. A real one. Anywayssss.............

Have you noticed how homeschoolers and technology are 'treated' (from a person who doesn't homeschool point of view. If that makes sense)  If you homeschool and own a computer then you must be completely obsessed with technology in a nerdy way. You spend your time programming every computer in the house to talk to you in a robot monkey voice and remind you of your 5 O' clock meeting with apple on how you could completely revolutionize the iPad 5. Or your family doesn't even own a computer. You've never even seen one before in your life. Somehow there's no inbetween (I don't know why)

So there's my little rant about how people can completely read homeschoolers wrong.Well most homeschoolers (I know some people who would be classified under the first stereotype.) One thing we do love is music though! They've probably got at least that right. :)
