Making up for the lost time

Bonjour, mes amis!

I just finished my french exam. It was easy. Except they kept using words I didn't know. Which was kind of annoying.

In other news, it has come to my knowledge that I did well in physics.

YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!

I think that it's pretty obvious that physics is the only subject that I actually care about.
Except maybe french. My french teacher likes me. She's a bit like Snape. If you don't do well she mocks you in front of the entire class. So I have a pretty big incentive to do well in french.

*Changes Subject Randomly*

I'm really scared that The Last Guardian is going to have ove of those ugly new covers that are not by Kev Walker and have Artemis's face on the front and they're oh so ugly.

I think that if it does, I will pay Kev Walker to make a few nice covers. Then I'll sell them for exorbitant prices.

Because that's what I do.

The Letters from No One

Dear Blog,
I aplogize for neglecting you. It's been over a month since I last posted. It's exam time and I actually studied this year. (Hear that? I actually studied) Anyway, I've loads to tell you. Loads.
From,
Anika

It's almost Christmas (yay!) and my birthday (double yay!). Do you know what it's like to have a birthday so close to Christmas that you hardly ever get separate gifts? I have a french exam tomorrow. I'm not studying, as you can see. I don't know how you can study for a french exam.

Dear French Teacher,
I am not studying for my french exam. Hee hee.
From,
Anika

I changed my blog's name from 'Over the Rainbow' to 'A Kind of Magic'. I love the song, by Queen. It's also kind of hinting towards my love for Harry Potter and all things magical.

Dear J.K. Rowling,
Your writing has made my life magical.

Anika

I recently realized that I am obsessed with sweaters and shoes. I am wearing a red sweater right now. It clashes horribly with my t-shirt, which is blue and green, but my black sweater is in the dryer. It should be illegal to wear clashing sweaters. On a side note, I had my biology exam today. Of course I had to forget to study one topic. Of course that had to come in the exam.

Dear Biology Teacher,
Next time, ask me what I studied before you write the paper.
From,
Anika

If you had 50 dollars, what would you do? Questa, Pearlene and I were talking about this yesterday. Both of them said that they would buy chocolate and books, but I said that I would buy myself a nice, big sandwich. It may have something to do with the fact that it was near lunchtime.

Dear Sandwich,
I ate your mommy. Sorry.
From,
Anika

I have to go revise french verbs now.

Adieu.

Just kidding.

Au revoir.

Hello, blogspot!

As you may have noticed, I succesfully completed BEDA.
*celebration*
And to celebrate that, I will present to you a quote!
"I was always known as a genius."

Ugly DaBum

Anyway, take a look at our (Questa's and my) poetry blog, see me in a different light.
Did you get your Pottermore emails yet? It's so boring not having any friends to send Flobberworm Mucus to.

For English Class, we had to write about someone who was hungry for power.

Teacher: So, have you decided who you're going to write about?
Someone: Hitler!
Someone else: Julius Caeser!
Me: LORD VOLDEMORT! And Opal Koboi!

So yeah. Also, I cut my fingers by accidentally getting too close to a ceiling fan.

BEDA: Day 31

Finish, conclusion

Termination, finale

Great way to wind up

BEDA: Day 30

Almost finished. I know I certainly prefered posting occasionally, but actually saying actual things. Not posting just for the sake of posting.
Here are some interesting links:
cosmosacrystalline.blogspot.com
aircastlefancy.blogspot.com
museforaday.blogspot.com
They're certainly more interesting than my blog.

BEDA: Day 29

Graceful, elegant

Dark as a charcoal colored night

Immortal appeal.

BEDA: Day 28

I think titles are overrated, anyway. See, if I had to give all my BEDA posts a title, they would probably be like:
Uh..
Um..
Bye.

BEDA: Day 27

Good morning. Today we had school but I decided not to go because I didn't feel like it, plus it's Saturday, and I don't feel that bad about being in Gryffindor anymore and Pottermore is really cool so let me know if you got in and I'll probably register for a new account in October and answer the questions truthfully.
Goodbye.

BEDA: Day 26

Why do I even do this? I should just give up, not post little micro-posts (almost) every day.

BEDA: Day 25

Hello. I got into Pottermore, and I'm a Gryffindor. Tell me I should feel happy I got into Pottermore, not sad that I got into Gryffindor.

BEDA: Day 24

Hello. Aren't you glad this is almost over? Because I certainly am.

BEDA: Day 23

Are you mad at me? you should be, because I've been posting useless things for the past two weeks. I'm sorry, blah, blah, blah. Here is something interesting:

BEDA: Day 22

Um. Flabbergasted?

BEDA: Day 21

I am mad because
Pottermore has not sent me
the Welcome email.

BEDA: Day 20

Oh, look, I'm two thirds done!
I just got back from a friend's birthday party. Also, it rained today. Also, I did not recieve my Pottermore email today.
I am ready to tear my hair out.

BEDA: Day 19

This is how my blogging goes through the month:
Days 1-5: blog about 2 paragraphs
Days 6-15: blog about half a paragraph
Days 16-30: constantly forget to post and then make up excuses.

Sigh.

BEDA: Day 18

Well, even though I'm posting this the next day and altering the time, I have a few things to say:
-There is no internet connection at my house as of Thursday, August 18th.
-There is no point saying more because you obviously don't want to read it.

BEDA: Day 17

The wait for Pottermore is killing me. What I can't believe is that they had the Magical Quill challenge run for 7 days, and then they send out the Welcome emails randomly. Are you on Pottermore yet? If you are, please, please, please let me know. I don't like to be kept waiting.

BEDA: Day 16

Today's excuse: I'm sleepy. Goodnight.

BEDA: Day 15

I just ate dinner. I think I ate too much. Actually, I KNOW I ate too much.
If you go to the Pottermore blog, you'll find this, which is a post saying that they have OPENED POTTERMORE TO A FEW PEOPLE and I'm sitting here like, what?
Please let me know if you got into Pottermore. Please?

BEDA: Day 13

In which I copy ideas from other people's posts.

People I am copying from:
Questa
Pearlene

25 random things about me:

1. I listen to lots of old music, like The Beatles and Queen. Actually, that's the only music I listen to, if you don't count a really little bit of wrock.
2. I don't wear glasses. If I did wear glasses, they would must definitely be those really big ones that cover most of your face.
3. I haven't finished reading Percy Jackson, and I probably won't, due to the fact that I don't find it as amazing as Harry Potter or Artemis Fowl.
4. I hate hate hate people who read half of a series and then call themselves "the world's biggest fan". I haven't finished Percy Jackson, but I don't go arourd telling everybody how big a fan I am. Also, I hated the movie.
5. If you scroll through my iPod, you'll find that the most played song is Bohemian Rhapsody.
6. I am obsessed with Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, and A Series of Unfortunate Events.
7. I frequently steal other peopl'e ideas and fail to give them credit. So far, I have failed to give FRAS and Questa credit for finding the pony creator and having the idea of turning characters into ponies, respectively.
8. The ponies have become a huge part of my life and I've created some Artemis Fowl related ponies that I'll put at the end of the post.
9. I'm an extremely introverted person.
10. I can't go for more than a day without speaking or thinking about Harry Potter.
11. I think both Irish and British accents are extremely intriguing.
12. I'm not very good at spelling. I had to use google to look up how to spell intriguing.
13. I'm bad at writing. Especially writing poems, though my haikus are okay (I hope).
14. My favorite Harry Potter characters are:
    - Snape
    - Draco
    - Bellatrix
15. My favorite Artemis Fowl characters are
    - Beckett
    - Opal
    - Foaly
16. I'm very bad at lists.
17. I don't like how they portrayed anyone in the graphic novels of Artemis Fowl.
18. I ship Draco/Ginny sometimes, to annoy my friends.
19. I hate dragonflies. Maybe that's why my profile picture has always been a dragonfly. Maybe.
20. I'm terrified of bugs. Absolutely terrified.
21. I hate wearing necklaces.
22. My favorite color is pink.
23. I hate taking showers.
24. Um. I . . . know you don't want to read this?
25. I'm happy this is over.

Now, my ponies:

Angeline Fowl

Butler

Holly Short

BEDA: Day 12

Some more ponies:

Fleur

Molly

Narcissa

Snape

You don't have to remind me. I know. I owe you a long post because all I posted yesterday and the day before were ponies and pictures of Harry Potter characters.

Here is what I did today:

Today, I woke up at 9:30, which is pretty late, because today was a holiday for some reason. Then, I read The Arctic Incident till lunch. Then, I started The Eternity Code, but I had to stop about halfway through because I had to go...*urgh*...swimming. I must have swum faster than usual today, because the teacher forced me to swim about two times more than what all the other people had to swim. Also, I didn't feel like getting out of the pool after swimming for two hours, so I stayed in the pool for another 30 minutes. Then, I got out of the pool and went to take a shower. The showers in the swimming pool where I go have locks on the outside as well as the inside. So of course, I had to lock my friend in and then proceed to take a shower. Unluckily for me, there was someone else there, and they heard her banging on the door and let her out. When I came home, I sat down at my computer and started to make ponies. Then, I put the ponies into a blog post. Then, I wrote a little bit because I hadn't written anything for the past few days. Then, I hit 'publish'.

BEDA: Day 11

Only a Bellatrix pony today:

Danker

BEDA: Day 10

Hello! This will be a short post because I have a debate tomorrow.
*Insert post here*
Pony:

Cool Picture:

BEDA: Day 9

NOW it's late.
Well, I don't have anything to say, except that I JUST RECIEVED THE ENTIRE ARTEMIS FOWL COLLECTION IN THE MAIL!
Also, if you can pair pairings, why cant you pair paired pairings?
Draco/Harry/Hermione/Ginny/Ron:
Drarmoninnyon
Moaltis is, well,
Mulch/Foaly (Moaly), Mulch/Holly (Molly) and Opal/Artemis (Otis)
Together they make...
Moaltisdrarmoninnyon!
Yay!
And yes, Questa, you CAN pair pairings.
Also, Questa, I took the liberty of adding the ponies that you did NOT include in your list. In no particular order:

Dean Thomas

Draco Malfoy

Ginny Weasley

Luna Lovegood

Parvati Patil

Padma Patil

I believe that is all.

BEDA: Day 8

Really bad Artemis Fowl and Harry Potter pairings:

• Artemis/Holly
• Minerva/Foaly
• Artemis Fowl Sr./Juliet
• Juliet/Mulch
• Mulch/Holly
• Artemis/Juliet
• Lili/Artemis
• Trouble/Holly
• Lily/Sirius
• Sirius/Tonls
• Harry/Fleur
• Ron/Fleur
• HARRY/HERMIONE
• Molly/Sirius, which this lovely person thought of.
• HARRY/HERMIONE

That's it, I think. Did I mention how much I hate Harry/Hermione?
Well, I do

BEDA: Day 7

Well, it's Sunday.
You know what I really hate about Sundays? The fact that the next day is always, always Monday. Couldn't we have a change once in a while? Doesn't it get boring to always have a Monday right after a Sunday? Sunday is waffles for breakfast day, Sunday is eat out for lunch day, but Sunday is always have dinner at home day. Why? Because the next day is Monday, and Mondays mean school. School is overrated, anyway. You go to school in the morning, spend the whole day looking at books and learning stuff that you're never going to use after you graduate, and then you come home and are expected to do homework. And guess what? Apparently, you're supposed to turn in homework on time.

In other news, I took a Hogwarts House test, and I was sorted into Slytherin. *cough*. I think, if on Pottermore, I was sorted into anything other than Slytherin, I would delete my account and spend the rest of my life in mourning. And talking of Pottermore, do you know if anyone got thir Welcome Email yet? I hope hope hope I get it soon.

Also, I can't seem to get tickets for The Lion King in 3D. Which I want really really badly, but not as badly as Pottermore.

I think I'll go now.

BEDA: Day 6

Well, I found this on tumblr (which I will never really understand), so I might as well fill it in.

Pottermore Name: CatQueen

What Hogwarts House do you think it SOUNDS like: To me, it sounds like a Ravenclaw, I'm not really sure why.

What Hogwarts House do you WANT to be in: Slytherin. I think that was pretty obvious.

Does the username relate to you at all (why/why not): I think it does. I'm definitely more of a cat person than a dog person, and the queen part makes me feel . . . royal.

What kind of wand would you wish to get: Hawthorn, I think. 10-11 inches, core made of dragon heartsrtring. Or thestral hair, maybe?

Pure Blood/Half Blood/Muggle Born: I think that I would be a half blood, at least one parent muggle-born. I think choosing this is kind of . . . bloodist.

Well, I'm too lazy to write anything else, so this is it.

BEDA: Day 5

LOOK AT ME. STEALING IDEAS FROM OTHER PEOPLES POSTS. WHAT A LOSER. *SIGH*

I can make instant noodles.
Making instant noodle is one of the most basic necessities of life. I mean, what do you do when there's nothing to eat except an apple or something equally revolting?
I am a Slytherin.
Um. If you know me then this is probably not a surprise.
I've tasted tears loads of times.
Well, yes, when I cry the tears do run into my mouth. But I'm not a crybaby.
My Locker:
My locker is probably the one that will stand out the most in the entire hallyway. It is a shrine to Artemis Fowl.
SPOILER ALERT
Things written/DRAWN on my locker

• Foaly <3 Caballine
• Orion <3 Holly
• A squid, THE MYTHICAL GIANT SQUID
• "How do I love thee? Let me see. I love thee passionately and eternally... obviously eternally - that goes without saying."
• "I don't like lollipops."
• Koboi is back! RUN!
• Truffles
• "SNEEZES LOOK LIKE WORMS."
• Some worms
• Beckett <3 Worms
• LEP locker
• Mo Digence

You would appreciate it if you saw a picture of it. You know what? I just might put a picture of it here so you can appreciate it.

BEDA: Day 4

Good Day.
I'm back! And I finished watching the Project Runway Season 7 finale!
Anywho, today is Thursday. I don't like Thursdays.
Why did I even agree to do BEDA?
I can't think of what to say. And I know I promised a more detailed post today. But I've been over it all- chat speak, evil, vegetarianism, posting about posting, you name it.
Maybe you could give me a few ideas on WHAT TO POST ABOUT BECAUSE I BET YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT I DID TODAY.
Is this considered a detailed post? Well, it better be, because I'm signing off.

BEDA: Day 3

So, hello.
It's late, but we can whisper.
Today I didn't do much, just the usual. I finished And Then There Were None and it is an absolutely spectacular novel that you should definitely definitely read. Also, one of my friends told this other girl that I had a blog and I refused to tell her (the girl) the address when she asked me.
I don't know what else to say. A more detailed post tomorrow maybe?

BEDA: Day 2

Well, hello! Here I am, again, for the fourth time in two days. I haven't really done anything yet today. It's still morning and I have to go swimming after school. Guess what? I'm not going to talk about Pottermore today.

So, anyway, yesterday my friend and I were walking in the park. We saw this little girl with pale brown hair and a really pale face and these really pale blue, dreamy eyes. So of course my friend, being herself, had to go up to her and tell her that she looked like Luna Lovegood. After that, we were talking about Lysander, Luna's son. and this little boy, maybe 4 years old, comes riding his tricycle. And - he looks exactly how both of us imagined Lysander.

I also read a book called P.S. Longer Letter Later. I didn't like it one bit. In fact,  I hated it. It's not a happy book. I prefer reading happy books. With happy endings.

I also lent a book to one of my friends. I just lent her The Deathly Hallows. I regret it.

Well, I have to go to school now, but I'll (hopefully) see you tomorrow.
