Random things, none of which are important enough for a title except the first one. Read it.

Today I shall be blogging about random things. Get ready.

First Random Thing: Today is the International Day of Hugs (or something). I think this is because September 11th is tomorrow. So, you know, hug someone today! I still can't get my head around the fact that 9/11 is six years ago. It still seems so huge in how we remember it that it's hard to believe how long it's been. I remember everyone being freaked out about buildings being blown up, but not really understanding what was happening - I was ten at the time. So there's another reminder - remember the Twin Towers tomorrow. It didn't affect most of us, but it did for many, many people.

Second Random Thing: I made my first banner!



Click on it to make it bigger. It's not technically my first one, but the first one I'm actually proud of. I've done others that I didn't like so much, but I REALLY like this one. I'm really very proud of it.

Third Random Thing: I got new piano books! The grade 9 ones are really extremely large. The repertoire one actually has a spine. It makes me feel important. I haven't looked through them much, but piano lessons start again on Wednesday, so I'll be working out of there a lot.

Fourth Random Thing: Youth starts again this week!!! I'm so excited to have Tuesdays and Fridays back, and all the awesome people at Bible study to rant to (er...I mean...talk to). First Friday youth event is wide games, which is pretty much my favorite type of youth event ever besides the Pirate night and maybe the Survivor night.

Fifth Random Thing: I got Facebook! After grumbling for a while about how it's not homeschooler-friendly, I basically decided I was missing out and lied about my age so I could sign up with no network. It's actually really fun, and sorta addicting. I'll always love my Arwen-Undomiel best, though!

Sixth (and last) Random Thing: My arm really hurts. I'm serious. Nobody is taking me seriously because they ask WHY my arm hurts, and then I have to tell them that I was playing the AWE game on Wii and I was overenthusiastic, but it really hurts! It hurts to write and play the piano and anything involving doing anything with my right hand and I'm really annoyed. I know it's my fault...but some sympathy would be nice...

Elegost: we don't have a submarine car.
Me: you're not cool without a supmarine car. [OKAY, so I typoed. Sue me.]
Reindeer: well, I'd actually prefer a submarine car, Melda, but you can enjoy your supmarine car
PotR: it drives on land, drives under water, and prepares your supper all at once!
