Hi guys! I thought that having 20 comments on my latest blog post was a good signal that it was time to post again. So here I am. Today, I lounged around, and then went to the doctor for a yearly check-up. Easy enough, except for the fact that it took a hour and a half and I got two shots, one in each arm, inches away from my shoulder. Now my entire left arm is sore, and I can't do anything with it. :( So I couldn't practice cello.
The trip to Belleview a couple days ago wasn't too bad, and we got to go to the Belleview Mall after. Not a huge amount of fun stuff, just Gamestop and the Apple store. They had 30" moniters in there! For computers! (for those of you wondering what the big deal is and stating the fact that they make way bigger LCD TVs, I say this: TV's, even high definition ones, have WAY less pixels than computer moniters. omewhere around half as many. So if you plugged a computer into a TV, it would look really bad. But these 30" moniters have SOOO many pixels, they look amazing. I really want one!) But they were wasted on those Apple computers, without any games. They would look awesome for games, or watching moves, or stuff. But there is the little problem of a $2400 (don't quote me on that, just a estimate, + or - $400) price tag :( And the fact that I would have to have a $5000 computer for it to really take advantage of the moniter. hat type of computers do you guys use? As for me WINDOWS!
Anyway, enough of the weird computer stuff. How are you guys doing? I have decided to post a questionarre, so when you comment, answer the questions by copying the whole questionarre and pasting it int your comment, then taking out my answers and filling in your own (as well as anything else you want to add.) Just a way to get to know you better (note: this is not an entirely hand made questionarre, most of the stuff is, um, "borrowed" Mostly from my mother's sister's husband's sister's daughter, Morgan. Really.)

oh, no! that's horrible! I couldn't bear not to practice violin. I need my violin. *sniffles* *hugs violin*
grrr. we just went to Bellview mall but you know what I did the whole time? hung out in a little kids clothing store. and then mom took me to nordstrom, which is worse then the little kids store. we didn't get to the Apple store or anything interesting.
I was in TDO last time, and I'll defintely be in TJYS this time. I was co-concertmaster last year in TDO and I'm hoping to get that again (but not counting on it).
Hi! Thanks for commenting. My Mom has made basically a "one minute of computer" policy, as see ing as I apperantly used that eariler, I was not able to post yesterday evening. (ok, maybe 5 minutes ;) But now I am finally posting.
That is not fun. I hate having my mom dragging me into all these random stores to "browse" :( Luckly, she is fairly trusting, so she just dropped me at a store and then we met up later at a specific time. Which was nice, so I could go to whatever store I wanted to.
You were in the Debut orchestra last year? But what about the Junior Youth and the Young Artists Symphonys? Not sure what I will be in. Will they let people pre HS people in to TJYS? Hope so. Sounds fun. Anyway, see ya later, call ya at 4-5ish if thats ok, bye!
-El
I'm really not certain about this. you could go into TJYS, I really don't know. I think there might be pre HS students in our orchestra.
I was in the debut orchestra last year, I'll be in TJYS this year. Young artists is the next level up from that, then it's the Tacoma youth symphony.
yeah, well I get stuck with mom, unfortunately. at least I did get to go into one little kitchen shop. that was fun. I love baking.
Ah, sorry, I thought you were talking about TYS, not TJYS. You like baking? Cool. I really like cooking, baking included. My dad is a really good cooks, so I do a lot of cooking with him. What kind of things do you like to cook/bake? Anyway, talking to ya at 4-5 should work, I will call you, and give you my number, cause I have yours, so when you realize that I gave yours to telemarkets, you can return the favor. To a fake number *evil grin* Ok, maybe not. Anyway, see ya!

Hi Anna! Great. I guess I am going to get to meet your brother then ;)
Not sure who else would pick your name, again, this is all Morgan's questionarre, not mine. I'm innocent!
Your family has gray green eyes? Weird. My parents and I have dark brown eyes, but my sister has blue-green eyes.
Not all that of a bad quality...
Tea? Tea is boring. Except paradise tea might be good... Never tried it before. Have you had peppermint ice cream? I love it. And chocolate peppermint is even better!
You were petting your books?! AHHH! Scary! lol.
That's nice. I have a friend who liked someone, and told all these people, and someone told her... It was not good. Evil non-secret keepers!
How did you cut your forehead on a "jutting-out-thingee?" Sounds painful.
Ah, me too. I don't try new stuff much. Which is sometimes bad... Oh well.
The one with the weird girl on it? I have seen that alot.
You are definatly Welcome
Where do you put your mouse?
You never fall asleep except in bed? Really? I can fall asleep in cars as well. Helps on long drives.
Haven't seen Kningt's Tale, but Have seen POTO (weird acronym) and KK. Both fairly good. KK was sooooo long though....
Good combination! (crayon one)
Anyway, I will be looking for your new post, and see ya later!
yes, the one with the weird girl on it. (took me a while to figure out what you meant..) :P. that's Les Miz.
Most teas are, indeed, boring. all herbs, and bitter stuff.....
but Paradise tea is really good. it's tropical flavored, and it doesn't taste good plain, but if you put in a bunch of sugar it tastes really strongly like tropical. and peppermint is good cause it clears my mind.
well, it was a hose holder. like, you wound up the garden hose all around it. and I walked right into it. and it was sharp. and it cut me.
on the desk. it's a cordless mouse, so it has pads on the bottom.
KK was made by PETER JACKSON! who made LOTR. and my brothers watched it the night I had my birthday party. I was very mad, precious...
hey, El, when's your birthday?
The problem with you two is all you talk about is your concerts and whatnot. It is very confusing too.
Elloit,
That questionare thing was great, it helps us to get to know you better, since only Anna has met you. Maybe we should all copy it onto our blogs and do it to.
I am totally Apple. It is something that I must have inherited from dad, but all the kids are for apple, and totally against windows, and we get into all these long conversations abou it with people who don't like apples, which I am not going to start on right now, cause you probably don't wan't to hear it.
Oh by the way, what grade are you in? You said that you homeschooled right?
Hi All!
Yay! Tons of comments!
Hey, I will have to try that tropical tea sometime...Is it like a teabag thing that you buy?
I like lots of suger in tea too, cause it can be really bitter without it.
Ouch, sounds painful.
I just got three shots in my mouth 'cause of my stupid cavity. :(
Eww, wireless mouse. The one we got a while ago was slow, but that one is probably better.
Ya, KK is. Good mive, but kinda creepy and gory and REALLY LONG!
Oh, poor thing.
Eowyn, so sorry. But we like talking about it.
1 little thing: It is EllIOt, not EllOIt. Just wanted to clarify ;)
Ya, or you could just compy it and put it into a comment, like Anna did. Nice to learn a bit about each other.
AHH! Apple! Ok, not it's not like I hate Apple (just loathe it ;) I just don't like the fact that games don't play on Apples. That's why I use PCs. 'Cause I play games on computers.
Anyway, going into 8th.
See ya!
-El
Well,
that is a common abjection to apple computers, so that is understandable. But there are lots of good games that you can get for mac, just not as many.
See,
Many people would agree that apple might be better but windows is more common, so you can use it for more things. However, we still like mac, and I could never use anything else. Well, I do know how to use PC, but I wouldn't, unless I'm at a friends house.
I'm going into nineth grade, but I am a year ahead so techinally I would be going into eigth as well.
Sorry about mispelling your name, I might know how to spell it, but I misspell alot when I type, cause I type so fast.
