Random Things Make Me Happy...

It is almost lunchtime and my brother and I just wildly danced along to 'Fireflies' in our pyjamas, even though a random person could've peeked through the window and saw me doing the worm in my pj's while my brother boogied next to me.


Another thing is painting my toenails. I have discovered my talent.
**EDIT: THESE ARE MY FEET, BY THE WAY. NOT SOMETHING OFF GOOGLE IMAGES**

Also lip syncing. I am extremely good at that. I fooled my parents with a video of me lip syncing to 'Umbrella'.

We have play practice today. Yes, on a Sunday. At 2pm. I am planing on wearing something dramatic and funky, but I'll probably end up wearing tracksuit pants, a hoodie and a pair of Havaianas. True Australian.

MLIA is one of the best websites ever.

I just posted. Yay.

Personally, I don't think a girl playing the guitar has anything to do with the word 'Close'. But oh well.

I might write a little story about it too. You never know.......

Notebooks and......Oh Just Stuff!

Helloooooooooooooooooo my faithful readers! Wassup?! The other day my Mum bought me these REALLY cool notebooks from Smiggle! This one:








In which I'll keep short stories, poems, story starters and MORE!



And a gold one in which I'll keep interesting bits and pieces that I can later work into a story.

So..... holidays have started! Actually they started on Friday but you know. Both Mum AND Dad are working so I have to stay home mostly, but that means I'll be bloggin' a lot! Yesterday my lil' bro was just watching TV and I was on the computer 'cause it was really windy outside and we were bored. So then EVERYTHING turned off. Because of all the wind, a tree fell over and hit the power line! So we started collecting candles so we wouldn't have to find them when it's dark, and thank goodness I have a mobile phone 'cause otherwise no one would've been able to get through to check we were all right!


My phone:












last time we had a windy day like this a whirl-wind thingy came and took our trampoline and took it out to we the golf course! We live like, really close to the golf course! So it got caught in a tree then fell down and absolutely got totally bent. Scary yet seriously true!

Oh and about a week ago I told my Mom's and Dad's friend about the 101 tasks in 1001 days thingy and he said he'd do it! So today I was just sitting on the sofa, writing in my new notebook when my Dad comes in and goes, 'There's a letter for you. From the USA!'. I got like totally confused 'cause no one I know lives in the USA or is on holiday there right now. So I open it up and realise it's a postcard from that very friend! He said one of his goals was to visit Los Angeles/California and he'd done it! I'm like, 'NO WAY!!!' I mean, I sent someone to Los Angeles! Really! Talk about exciting!

Thanks to everyone, especially Beanie, for giving us an idea for our blog name. Now we're stuck-Cherry Banana Twist or Cherry Banana Split? Comment!

OK, now I should go but before I do I'll warn you that something REALLY exciting is going to appear on this blog SOON....................

Chicklish and Cathy Cassidy!

Hi peoples!!! Guess what??? I did I review for...Chicklish! (As you might have guessed from the title) It's on the book Angel Cake by Cathy Cassidy! You check it out here. Thank you oh so VERY much to the Chicklish team for letting me do this!

Speaking of Cathy Cassidy... she's coming to Australia!!! I am cherrytasticly (my new word, cherry-tastic-ly) excited and completely CAN NOT WAIT!!! Eeeeeek! Sorry if I sound completely weird, but I am SO excited! (like I said before!!!)

Oh, but I am so very busy that I totally do not know how I manage to still keep my blog up-to-date. I mean, I....

☺Random Things That Are Making Me Happy☺

Random things have been happening lately, things that make me smile.
I wore pink leg-warmers to dancing.
I have purchased and read 'Angel Cake' by Cathy Cassidy and fallen in love with it.
I have made Angel Cakes to share with my family.
Mum bought me a groovy new school bag with really cool pink-and-blue bamboo sticks on a black background.
I flew a kite with my little bro.
I bought mum some special stuff for Mothers Day.
Mum won a Shea Butter products set from The Body Shop (she said it's the first time she EVER won anything).
I bought myself a piano ring from Diva.
I got a phone call from an old friend.
I dreamt really nice dreams.
I sat on the comfy sofa and daydreamed.

What's something that's been making you smile?

Just Totally Random Stuff

G'day all! This is just a totally random post in which I am going to tell you about stuff that I did.

OK, yesterday we went to Melbourne and I got myself some earrings! I got cherry studs(!), strawberry studs, little red balls, hangy cherry earrings, hangy strawberry earrings, and pacman earings that look kinda like the ones on the left. I also got myself a new set of hair ties, and a pair of socks (yay). And mum bought me Sundea Girl, so c'mon, congratulate me, because now I have officially read EVERY single book by Cathy Cassidy! Woop-woop! I think I will have an extra couple of ANZAC biscuits to celebrate! Even though ANZAC day is over, but still. ANZAC biscuits are really very nice. You should try some.

Also in school today our teacher put up a picture on the Smart Board (y'know, them interactive whiteboards. They're like a massive touch-screen) and told us to write a short story about the picture. Also he put on a Good Charlotte song and told us to write whatever comes into our heads when we hear this song. I like this kind of writing. What I don't like is when the teachers say, " I'll give you ten minutes to write a masterpiece with the last sentence being 'And then we all drove back home with the lobster sitting in the front seat'. Go." I mean, first of all, what kind of ending is that? And how are we supposed to write a masterpiece in ten minutes? I just don't get it.

Ooooh, and I also have a really good idea. You know, when you have a really embarrassing moment, it feels really good when you hear someone else's embarrassing story? Well I thought, why not have something like that on my blog?! If you have an embarrassing story, send it to me on my email, glittercherryz@gmail.com. And mention whether you want me to include your name or not. I'll post the best ones on my blog!!!

Oh, and also I would like to thank all those who comment on my blog. It's an amazing feeling when you go to your blog and see that someone has read your post and left a positive message about it. It's really exciting!!

Ciao,

CherryDiva
