Hey girls it's Friday(it was when I wrote
this)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(count those)
This is going to be a long blog so I apologize ahead of time. I also
apologize for not blogging last week. I was grounded and had gotten
all of my stuff (basically all of my access to technology) taken away
so I was unable to blog. I am so very sorry and I was really looking
forward to that blog...
So I'm going to do that blog and this week's blog now.
Last Week's Blog:
So I feel like a have a pretty insane family usually but after getting
the chance to read everyone else's blogs I feel like my family is
really average. At least among the seven of us. Ok so I have three
other siblings. They are all younger than I am which makes me the
oldest. Yeah logic! Ok so from oldest to youngest there is ME, my
sister Hillary, my sister Hope, and my cute little brother Luke. He is
the most adorable little boy you have ever seen. Well I might be a bit
bias but he really is.
(Halloween)
Hillary:So Hillary is the typical younger sister. She bugs me on purpose
because she knows she can and she knows how. But she can also be
really awesome. She used to be swimmer like me but she sort of just
stopped going recently. I have the feeling though she'll pick it back
up when she goes into high school because my parents require us to do
at least one sport in high school although they really want us to do
two. Hillary is also really smart and has recently really started to
love reading. Kind of like it was for me. We both really didn't like
reading and we only did it when we had to do school but then we each
found a series (for me it was Harry potter and for hill it was the
Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging series) that we really liked and
we couldn't stop reading after that.
Reading is contagious. It's like an illness with no cure but that's ok
because I don't mind it. She plays the guitar a little bit and she
recently started horse back riding.
Hope:
Hope also recently started doing horse back riding. She also my cuddle
buddy. I always ask my brother if he'll give me a kiss cause he is so
adorable but he always says no and Hope wil say I will I will. And
she'll give me a kiss and I'll give her a big hug because she is the
sweetest little angel. Of corse she also has a devil side. She ha
recently start the the whining to get her way phase. So when ever she
gets mad she gets really ugly sometimes violent. She can't really
cause damage though so not bad. Hope is also on our neighborhood swim
team and she is getting really good at breast stroke. She won her heat
in her race at the last meet.
Luke:
Luke is the most handsome, cute, adorable little brother in the whole
world. When he gets older he is going to have all of the girls at
their knees and swooning at the sight of him. He is probably the most
nerdy of my siblings. He loves video games and not the typical video
games no he likes the awesome video games. He has every star wars
video game that has been made for the PS3, all of the Lego Indiana
jones games, and we recently got him the new Lego Harry Potter Years
1-4 game. It is so awesome but we still haven't managed to beat the
first level which is with the ogre in the girls bathroom. Finally Luke
is also very sensitive. It is very easy to make him cry. If you aren't
careful and you talk to him in the wrong tone of you acuse him of
something he will cry until you asure him that he isn't in trouble and
you give him a hug.
And I also have a dog named Jack who is practically my brother.
Sometimes I think he gets treated better than I do. Of course
sometimes my dad just can't stand him. My dad is a cat man.
This Week's Blog
So this week's blog is to pick a quote and to sort discuss it. At
least that's what Katie told me. I am currently in the car typing this
whole blog on my notes app on my iTouch. So excuse me if I do not find
some deep meaning behind my quote. So my quote is from the book that I
am currently reading which is The Ghosts of Ashbury High by Jaclyn
Moriarty. She also wrote The Year of Secret Asignments. Have you girls
read it? So I'm going to use more of a passage that I recently read
about black holes that think is absolutly brilliant instead of a
quote. So this passage spans across many pages and is about black
holes and about this kid called Tobias who is defining what they are
and he gradually changes his definition as he has new experiences. He
also compares the definitions to the history of Ireland and his
family.
The first definition is:
A black hole is a something that you get when you get so much stuff
crammed together into one small place that the plac can't handle it
anymore so the place goes ballistic and turns into total, mad darkness.
By the end of the passage he has come up with:
Know one knows what a black hole is because if what they think is true
about black holes was true then there would be no way to prov it so
the scientific communuty calls it an information parodox. And that in
the end it is the horror and the beauty of the things that we don't
know. Until they pin down what it is anything is possible and anyones
guess could be right. And that this gives us a feeeling of empowerment.
I totally get this and when I read it I was like wow. I never would
have thought of it like that and made those connections of course you
have no idea what I am talking about because I totally didn't give
enough information so I'll give you the pages and you can read the
book. 114-130
Sarah I'll read you tomorrow. (today)
Sorry if there are spelling errors. I did type it on my iTouch after all.
I really need to get that book, i just have a lot of things to read right now. Don't forget to do your punishment!!!
ReplyDeleteI've read the Year of Secret Assignments multiple times. I love that book.
ReplyDeleteI also loved the blog post.
I like that passage, I'll have to check out The Ghosts of Ashbury High next time I go to the library.
ReplyDeleteAlso, your siblings are adorable.
