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.

Tagged!!!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got tagged! Goodness, it's been forever! Wow, feels awesome. Thanks Indigo!

Okay, so the rules are:

Copy the award into a blog post.
Thank the person who gave you the award.
Tell seven things about yourself that your readers didn't know.
Declare seven bloggers as the new recipients.
Notify the winners with comments on their blogs.

Okaaaaaaaaaaay. Umm. Seven things. Here I go.

1. I have wind chimes stuck ALL OVER my ceiling. I've been collecting them for about 2 or 3 years now. It looks REALLY cool when the air conditioner is on and they all twinkle. :-)

2. I have no middle name. None at all. Neither does my brother or my parents. Sometimes my friends make up middle names for me. The currant one is 'Daisy'.

3. I ALWAYS use sarcasm and I'm way paranoid! My friends and I always laugh at each other's sarcastic comments. And if I, say, get an ear ache I presume it's because I have a deadly ear infection and I might go deaf. Seriously.

4. Recently I learnt that I can't drink soft drinks. They feel horrible on my teeth and then it feels like there's an explosion in my stomach and it HURTS. So umm, yeah. LOL.

5. I love long socks. Knee Hi ones. Plus hoodies, gloves and hats. I looooooooooooooooooooooooove hats!!!

6. I love drama and art. I'm in the school production (play). I have paints and sketch pads and easels ALL OVER my room too :-)

7. I'm thinking about starting a new blog! Tell me watcha think.

I love so many people.

I love my followers and readers, who continue to read my blog while I don't post for months at a time. I never forget you, every night I write a blog post in my head, unfortunately it usually doesn't get posted.

I love my friends because they love me, and because they do the most amazing things to make me happy. You are truly wonderful, I feel amazingly lucky because I met you.

I love my family because they put up with my tantrums and pleas. They love me so much that they not only give me shelter and water and food, but the most amazing gifts and advise and inspiration and most importantly encouragement. They help me do what I want to do, and make a purpose in my life.
Even my family who lives on the other side of the world (grandparents, cousins) I can still hear the love in your voice when you talk to me on the phone.

I love God because he chose to create us, give us life. He watches over us and answers our prayers. He gave up his only Son for us. He is a father to everyone, He is what connects us and still loves us when we feel no one does.

I love music and writing and rain and smiles. I love a strawberry sunset and I love being myself. I love everyone who believes in me, everyone who teaches me, everyone who is prepared to help me up when I fall down.

I love you. There are two people in the world whose heart would be shattered in pieces without you, and I am one of them.

Is there such thing as cherry flavored tooth fillings? Could someone pls let me know?!

HELLO PEOPLE OF THE BLOGOVERSE.

I have just finished reading Feeling Sorry For Celia, and thought that maybe I should write my post sort of like the books, a bit like letters or notes (btw the book was HILARIOUS - I loved it!).

I'm in bed right now, typing on mum's laptop WHICH WE ARE NEVER EVER ALLOWED TO USE OR ELSE!!!!! Today was incredibly and unbelievably hot. The only way you can survive is going to the pool then to the cinemas to see Avatar for the second time, which is why i am still alive.

Tomorrow I plan on washing the car. Might sound crazy, but it's absolutely perfect because not only am I doing a good deed and making my parents happy, but also it's a great way to get extra cash and spray your brother with a hose so he sprays you back and you get covered with cool, refreshing water.

I might attempt to go hit the sack now because it's 10pm and i planed on getting up at 6 tomorrow. Don't ask why. Just don't. Probably because I don't have a clue why I want to get up so early on a summer Monday. It's holidays for crying out loud.

So goodnight to you all.

Sweet dreams,

Cherry :-)

Insert Snazzy Title Here

HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope 2010 will be super fantastic for you!!!One of my New Year's resolutions is to post more - I know I haven't, and I'm sorry. Also I won't post so much about what I'VE been doing - I just realised I must be boring you big time by doing that. Soooo, I'll post more interestingly.

Having said that, I would just like to let you know that I have finished reading the Twilight books. I have no words for how absolutely fabulous they are. Stephenie Myer is so amazingly talented. I was shocked that that was really the end - no more Bella, no more Edward, no more...everyone. Except in the movies. But they aren't as good as the books. Not even close. Oh, but please don't bombard my comments about how I have no taste in literature and Twilight is brainwashing people by making them believe in un-realistic sparkly bloodsuckers (hahaha Jacob's saying). Thanks ;P

We were at the beach on New Years day, lining up to get an ice-cream i was in one of those laugh-at-absolutely-anything moods when I heard a little boy yell out "LOOK MUM! CHOCOLATE ice-cream with CHOCOLATE sauce and CHOC CHIP SPRINKLES!!!" For some reason I found this hilarious. The boy had a really high squeaky voice, which made it sound funnier.

I was concentrating so hard on not bursting out laughing so that people don't think I'm mad that I barely heard his sister's reply-"More like calorie ice-cream with calorie sauce and calorie sprinkles". This was still funny for me, but later it made me think. So many people these days are trying to make themselves super-model thin, but really, is it worth it? Should we cut down on the chocolates so that we can be just as skinny, or continue to stay just the way we are? I know so many people (mostly the fabulous Lisa Clark) say that we should love ourselves and our bodies for what they are, and ignore all those who say we should be ultra-thin, blond and stupid. But others are saying that this encourages girls to become obese or develop serious illnesses like diabetes. Lemme know what YOU think, okay?

Well, I'm off to have a very 'me' day, that mostly consists of pampering, reading, relaxing and maybe watching a few chick-flicks like Wild Child or Breakfast at Tiffany's. Ta for now.

What I got for Christmas....

Yay! I also got a pretty silver butterfly wind chime and a sleeping bag, but they have mysteriously disappeared....

As you can tell, the chocolates are already half eaten :-)

I'm so happy I got the Twilight books! I finished Eclipse in 3 days! Lol, I'm trying to hold off reading Breaking Dawn until 2010....

The books came with these cute picture/posters/whatever-they-ares thingys:

I'm sorry if I sound like I'm bragging - I'm not. I hope you all had a lovely lovely Chrissy filled with turkey and pressies. We're heading up to the beach for New Year - some place called Yanakie or something. I love New Year. It makes me feel like I'm turning over a new leaf - a chance to start again. And to do it by the beach! Oh, I can't wait.

Write again soon,
CherryDiva/Stacey

Merry Xmas

Merry christmas everyone, I know I've been a rubbish blogger, I'll try to post more often in the New Year. Quick note - I just graduated, off to high school next year! Eek! OK, I'll post b4 the New Year!

A Picture Is Worth 1,000 Words

Not much to say. Just came back from camp. Was LOADS of fun, except for the fact that S, M and I had to share a cabin with a snotty girl from another school who called us psychos and screamed at us because we were taking along time in the showers. Going to see New Moon tommoz with M, maybe S too. Can't wait. Opened a tumblr account called ♥GlitterCupcakes♥. Might go watch Princess Dairies for a bit of girly me time. Leaving you for now with a few cute pics.

Wordle and Neopets Account...

Howdy y'all. Check out some of thr Wordle pics I created! You just go to wordle.com, type in your blog url and it comes up with one of these! A buch of words from your blog!!!!

And I have also got a Neopets account which I no longer wish to use, anyone can have it. Here's a pic:

The username is AngelCake134 and the password is cherry01. Just log on and change the password. Oh, and leave me a comment saying who took it. I kinda wanna know!

Love and cherry sparkles,

♥CherryDiva♥

Howdy :-)

Helloooooooooo my friends! Yes, it is really truly me. I haven't died in a plane crash back from Fiji, i just haven't had much time to blog since I got back. Mostly coz....we had the dancing concert! That went really well. I'm really happy with myself - I didn't stuff up too much and remembered to smile. Before we went onstage I was really nervous because there were over 100 people there, and I don't usually get stage fright but just in caseItoldy friend to kick me if I stop breathing because I didn't want to turn blue :-)

Here are a couple of photos from Fiji:

I can't put up more coz my computer goes really..............slow and almost shuts down. So yeah. Enjoy these two :-)

Ooh, ooh guess what? I've just read Twilight and New Moon! I didn't quite gt what the craze was about, and then my best friend S bought Twilight, read it, got brainwashed and pretty much shoved it into my arms and ordered me to read it. The rest, they say, is history. Ok, so they don't say that, whoever they are, but you get the picture. I just finished reading New Moon today at one in the morning (what? i just came back from the concert and I was too hyped up to sleep!). It's sooo cool. I already bought Twilight on DVD and S and I are going to watch New Moon soon. Yay!

Speaking of... don't you think the song 'Breathe' by Taylor Swift would be PERFECT for the forest scene in the movie New Moon? Like at the start when Edward tells her what he's gonna do? I won't spoil it for those who haven't read it yet! Like, some of the lyrics include

People are people and sometimes we change our minds
But it's killing me to see you go after all this time

and

Never a clean break, no one here to save me
You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand

and

And I can't breathe
Without you, but I have to
Breathe
Without you, but I have to

and...oh, just look at them here. And listen to it here. It's perfect, right? Do they use it in h movie? Puh-lease tell me!

Well, this is kinda turning out to be a long-ish post so I'll wind it up with a
goodbye!!

-CherryDiva x

Short Service Leave

Hey-o, spaghetti-o. I would just like to tell you that I will be absent from this blog for 12 days, as we are going....to Fiji! Yesss! I apologize for any inconvenience, and in that time, you can check out Anna's and mine Australian book-reviewing blog Cherry Banana Split. See ya! I'll take loads of pics!!!

♥☻☺

Hello my little blogger peeps. As usual, I haven't been posting much. Sorry. Nothing much has been happening. Except I went to the Show. But I won't tell you much about that coz it's kinda boring. I'll just show you a pic (that I found on the internet) of a ride that I went on. Except it had two seats and was black. I went with S. What happens is they strap you in, and then the ball spins around and around in all different directions! Yes, I did get sick. No, I didn't throw up. :-)

Oh yeah, just remembered. Anna and i just put Site Meter up at our Aussie book-reviewing blog Cherry Banana Split, but we need a lot more people to just visit, or maybe even comment or follow, so we can start receiving books. Maybe then we might even have competitions....! Puh-leeeeeease check it out here. Please?

Cool. So....ummmm.....yeah. This isn't much of a post, is it? Hmmm, no. Well, soon I'll try to post something interesting.

Oh, here's something funny. Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato (bbf's since they were seven or something) made a video here. It's HILARIOUS! lol

BUT! Miley Cyrus (who i'm not crazy about) and her friend Mandy made a mocking video! Omg, watch it here.

Well, I'm gonna leave you with that. Have a good day!

Ciao,

♥CherryDiva♥

Hahaha

Lol, this is such a funny way to save the world!

First, if you haven't heard 'Girlfriend' by Avril Lavigne, listen to it here.
Then, (hehehe) listen to this.

Trust me, it's so eco-friendly, I don't even know why I'm laughing. Just listen to it.

Blah Blah Blah

Don't ask me how the title came into my mind, it was a random thought.

Ahh, it is so good to be on holidays! Even though a week's already passed, it still feels like heaven. Sleeping in, baking goodies and staying up late to watch the stars dance. :)

Though I can't go outside to enjoy my new bike because it has been raining NON-STOP, and even if it wasn't there's not much to do except cycle to the pool and back, and there and back, and there and back, and there and...*cough* *cough*, you get the idea. ☺

A few weeks ago...or maybe it was a month....I received my prize for the Cathy Cassidy writing competition I won. I keep wanting to take a photo, but the stuff is all over the place, and some bits are at school. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but I hope you don't mind if I got slightly less than a thousand....

I got:

-A cupcake themed letter writing set (I LOVE receiving snail mail. Not only that, but I looooove cupcakes! This blog was originally gonna be called 'Cupcake Glitter'...)

-A green pen with white polka-dots (green ink)

-A fairie badge (to go with the theme FAIRYtales)

-Two snazzy bookmarks

A letter from Cathy

:)

I think I shall go now, dinner is ready and I'm hungry....until next time,

♥CherryDiva♥

Lil' Pics....

Hiya peeps. Today at dancing we finally got to the costumes for one of the dances! It's very...bright. I might put up some pictures. But not until December, when the concert's over. Anyways, I was just looking through my folder on the computer the other day, and I realised how many pics I have! I've been collecting them from blogs, emails, websites, etc. for years! So I think I should put a few on my blog. Maybe I can put them up on a certain day, and give it a name...like Sunday Gallery? Something better than that though! So, I would love to hear your ideas. Just comment. Beanie, I know you always have great ideas! So I'll show you a few....

P.S.

Cat - Anna and I don't really mind what colours for the background and banner will be. Maybe something bright to catch people's attention...not too bright though!

Flying....

Today I rode to and from school on my bike. It felt so wonderful, going at full speed with the wind blowing my hair back and opening my eyes. Maybe this is what flying feels like. I got home in a record of 13 minutes, when usually it takes me 20. That meant I had a few extra minutes of free time to read, write or listen to music. My lovely friend M has let me burn her Taylor Swift CD. I was actually gonna buy it. Good thing I didn't. :)

Ok, I'm gonna put the positive thing o pause for a bit, and moan a bit about something I got on Friday. Sorry, I hope you don't mind. Don't read on if you do. Anyway, on Friday I got....braces. Yes, it is true. And oh, it is so very horrible! It hurts very very much and I can't bite anything at all! Waaaa. I think it's a bit long for them to still be hurting. My friends say they look fine and the pain will go away, but it is hard to believe them. Also, I am not allowed lollies. Like, AT ALL. Which is sad, as I am such a sweet tooth. Oh well. Do any of my readers have braces? If so, please tell me about them!

Oh, and I got a few awards lately. Sorry I havn't posted them up soner! I can't think of anyone to give them to, so I'll give them to my followers. If you followed me before the 7th of September 2009 8pm (Australian Standared Time), you may have these awards. Thnx 2 Rachel, Amber and Sasha!

Thanks again! Before I go, guess what Cathy Cassidy's new book is gonna be called? Cherry Crush! Thanks for telling me Anna! I CAN'T WAIT!!!

A New Bicylce and Sweet Blossoms...

Hello bloggers!
Today I finally received my new bike! My old one is about like, up to my knee and is horribly old. My new one is light blue and just the right height! I am so excited. I can't wait to ride it to school on Monday!

Also, today is the third day of spring. It's SO lovely! I reckon spring is my favourite season. Not too hot, not too cold, and of course all the cherry trees start to blossom! It looks so fairytale-ish. Outside our house is a beautiful peach blossom tree. I'll have some pictures up as soon as I replace the battery in my camera. Which might take a while. :)

Oh, before I got, I would like to tell you about a lovely blog, Pixie Dust and Rose Petals. It is so very poetic and positive, I love it!!! Please check it out!

Well Hello....and Sorry For Being a Lazy Blogger!

As I am writing this, I am nibbling on a toffee apple and listening to 'Fearless' by Taylor Swift. Jealous? :)

I slept until 10:30 today. What? It IS a Sunday! Hahaha, that isn't really the reason though.

Y'see, yesterday we played our last netball game of the season. *Sob*. It actually went pretty well. OK, it went REALLY well! In fact, it went so well that we bet the other team by 16 goals!!! Honest! I can't believe it really. The other team must've been having a pretty bad day!!! So anyway, the footy season finished that day too, and every year on that day, we have a presentation night. It's a night when everyone dresses up, and all the awards and stuff are given out in the town hall. Oh, and we have dinner as well. AND entertainment! This year the theme was fashion parades, and it was SOOOOO funny! Each grade (Under 13 netball, under 16 netball, under 16 football, etc.) had to do their own parade down the stage. There was swimwear, sportswear, and ours was....baby/kids wear!

I wore a little navy-blue dress with flowers and teddy bears on it over tights and a t-shirt. I put my hair in two long plaits and wore crocs (the shoes, not the reptiles!) on my feet. My friend was dressed up as a fairieand we had a fight over a teddy. She won, so I threw a tantrum, which the crowd loved. Some of my other friends dressed up as baby twins, bunny rabbits, barbie dolls, and K wore a nappy! Our coach dressed up as Tiger! It was SO MUCH FUN!!! But it finished at like, 1 am!

Right now I'm reading My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. The movie just came out! I don't think I really wanna watch the movie though. The book's sad enough. There might be a review up at Cherry Banana Split soon.

Well, I gotta go. Cherry blossom trees to water, reading to do. TTYL!

A Wonderful Day and Positive Thnking

I have just been reading over my blog posts and I've realised that I don't sound really positive. That is why I have decided to try to make my posts more positive and care-free. That was actually the kind of blog I was aiming to write in the first place!

Last Friday I went to the mobile library (a library on wheels that visits small towns like ours every two weeks). Since I couldn't find any good books to read, I hoped on the computer and searched for 'Lisa Clark'. Immediately all her lovely books came up on the page, indicating that the library has them! I was oh so excited, especially because her fiction books were there too, and I didn't even know they were out in Australia yet! I asked for 'Think Pink' and the nice librarian told me that she'll order it for me from another mobile library. I am really excited now.

Yesterday was such a lovely, warm day. Quite strange because it's winter now. But the sun was shining and the gentle breeze made everything so nice. I went for a walk with my brother and took my camera. he clouds looked like soft, fairy floss cushions in the sky. The little yellow flowers look a bit like mini suns.

You may have noticed that I've put one of those music-playing-teddy bear thingys on my sidebar. So now you can listen to sweet music when you read my posts. Lots of Taylor Swift, she's my favourite!

Enjoy your day.

Cherry Blossom Wishes,
♥CherryDiva♥

Random Facts

Here are some very random (and weird and unusual) facts I found. Enjoy!

1. Starfish don't have brains.

2. The longest recorded flight of a chicken is 13 seconds.

3. The short-term memory capacity for most people is between five and nine items or digits. This is one reason why telephone numbers were kept to seven digits for so long.

4. An ostrich's eye is bigger than it's brain!

5. The pupil of an eye expands as much as 45% when a person looks at something pleasing.

6. Cats have better memories than dogs.

7. (Don't read this if you get grossed out really easily. Or before bed.) In the course of an average lifetime you will, while sleeping, eat 70 assorted insects and 10 spiders. Ewww, right?

8. A polar bear's skin is black.

9. The strongest muscle in the body is the tounge.

10. It is physically impossible for pigs to look up to the sky.


So.....did you like them? Should I have more? Comment and tell me what you think!

My New Phobia

It's official as of today. I'm scared of magpies.

I was just standing on the oval at school when one just swooped down on me missing my head by centemetres. I swear it's eyes were red. Spooky. Also today I was walking home, and I decided to cut through the outdoor tennis courts. The nets are all packet away at winter, so it looked just like a massive field wih random poles. Then I saw him. The magpie was pretty big, and it was just staring at me. It was! I remembered that someone once told me that if a magpie starts to swoop, the best thing to do is grab a stick and wave it over your head. Or f you don't have a stick, just use your arms. Well, I couldn't see a stick anywhere so I started waving my arms over my head like a fool. I hope no one saw me.

So yeah. Does anyone else have any phobias? Any strange or funny ones? I know that Sasha from The Sweet Bonjour has a phobia of buttons (sorry to rub it in, Sasha!)!

Just comment and let me know!
