Happy Chinese New Year!

Hey all!


I want to go to sleep, so this post will be relatively short :)


Today is the Lunar Calendar's NEW YEAR! Also known as CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!! YAY!!! My family had really yummmmmmmyyyy food yesterday and today: dumplings, seafood (you have to have this for the new year, it's to do with the word for "fish" and "plenty/extra" sounding the same-so if you eat fish, you'll have plenty/extra/surplus of GOOD THINGS/FOOD <3), nian gao (which is like, sticky rice cake things...mmmm) and lots of other delicious things. Anyways, that's really all I wanted to say. School has started again >.< Second semester is going, okay...Essentially, I am going to study really hard this semester, and get A+'s in ALL THE THINGS. This includes AP Bio tests and math tests...which I can totally do :)


For Chinese New Year, there's also this show/celebration/"variety show" on TV that my family watches every year. I couldn't find a video of it, but that's okay...
sooooo....that's all! I'll leave y'all with these lovely pictures! :D

Isn't that pretty? China makes really pretty things <3

Apparently, Chinese New Year/the Spring Festival is celebrated around the world now. This is in the UK.

While this isn't OUR table, it gives you an idea of how amazingly yummy and  how much food there is...

DUMPLINGS!!!

Common misconception...you don't "raise the red lantern" (lol) on Chinese New Year, that's for the Lantern Festival: the 15th lunar day!

Luv, Lynda!

First Day of Summer Vacation!!!

School's out!!! Our last final exam was yesterday afternoon (I DIED) but now we're all alive and we're FREEE!!! Summer has been quite nice so far. It has included pizza, frozen yogurt, and then more pizza. Today was the Latin Club picnic. I ate lots of pretzels. Yumm. But now I have a bit of a tummy ache. *sadface*

Oh, theme song time! 

La la la la, la la la la, Virgil's world! La la la la, la la la la, Virgil's world! Virgil loves the summer, and pretzels too! That's Virgil's worrrlllddd!!! 

So yeah, summertime. Yippee! It's nice to have no homework, but I actually have a big long list of things that I want to get accomplished this summer. I shall share this list with you, since that's basically all that's on my mind right now.

Things Virgil Wants to Accomplish This Summer

1. Do summer reading for APUSH & English (this one's kind of obvious, but I figured it should be here)

2. Complete at least 3 (high-quality) projects for Convention 2012. 

3. Finish the book that I'm working on (which is like 1/4 of the way done at the moment).  

4. Get in-shape. RUN, VIRGIL, RUN!! (In the absence of ever taking gym again.)

5. Do the independent study Health course (because I don't have time for it in my schedule)

6. Go to Reading Camp & have lots of fun!! :)

7. GET PUMPED FOR HPDH2!!!

8. GO SEE HPDH2!!!

9. Repeat #8 as many times as deemed necessary.

10. Go to Kentucky & have lots of fun!! :)

11. Go to the UK & have lots of fun!! :)

12. Band camp yayyyy. 

So, uh, yeah. That's twelve things I have to accomplish. I think I'm going to try to accomplish a least three things each day this summer. So for example, my schedule for today looks like:

1. Host Latin Club picnic. (ACCOMPLISHED!!)

2. Practice flute. (NOT YET ACCOMPLISHED!!)

3. Go to flute lesson. (NOT YET ACCOMPLISHED!!) 

*sigh* you guys probably don't care about all these things I want to accomplish, but uh, I don't feel like coming up with anything different to post about. (That's why this post isn't listed as one of the accomplishments for the day.) 

I shall leave you with this wonderful graphic for your visual pleasure:

Eugepae!

Best wishes!

Today Is Sunday But We're Going to Pretend That It's Saturday

Hey, ya'll

I didn't post yesterday because I was with my family and it was Saturday and they don't do things on Saturdays and that would have been disrespectful. 

I had a nice Thanksgiving :) there was a lot of food. We did this jigsaw puzzle all in one night:

 Needless to say, it was pretty intense. There were a lot of yellow and white pieces. 

To make up for the fact that I forgot to tell you that I wouldn't be able to post on Saturday (note that I didn't forget to post; I merely forgot to tell ya'll that I would not be able to) I'll copy and paste a wee bit of my NaNoWriMo novel. It's at about 35k right now, and yes, today is November 28th. I'm in trouble. 


(This isn't the last bit that I wrote... the last bit that I wrote was some romantic word fluff. I'll spare you.)

“Can you hear it, too?” Gibraltar asked over the roaring wind.

            “Yes!” Ajax listened. He looked to the sky, and he saw a pair of eyes staring back at him. Then the words, “pair of eyes staring back at him appeared in the clouds” appeared in the clouds. Before long, the words faded away and were replaced by, “Before long, the words faded away and were replaced by another sentence,” –another sentence.

            Everything that happened was recorded in the sky: “Everything that happened was recorded in the sky.” It even knew about Ajax’s heart beating faster and faster, and the eyes which were blinking curiously beyond the words. “It even knew about Ajax’s heart beating faster and faster, and the eyes with were blinking curiously beyond the words.” He looked up at the words, “He looked up at the words,” and studied the pair of eyes carefully. They were not the color of the ocean, like Estra’s angelic eyes – but they were chocolate brown, the color of the mud no which he stood. All of this, “…and studied the pair of eyes carefully. They were not the color of the ocean, like Estra’s angelic eyes – but they were chocolate brown, the color of the mud no which he stood. All of this was recorded in the Times New Roman words up in the sky,” was recorded in the Times New Roman words up in the sky. Ajax closed his eyes, and the sky’s words repeated thus: “Ajax closed his eyes, and the sky’s words repeated thus: Ajax closed his eyes, and the sky’s worlds repeated thus: Ajax closed his eyes, and the sky’s words repeated thus: Ajax closed his eyes, and the sky’s worlds repeated thus: Ajax closed his eyes, and the sky’s words repeated thus: Ajax closed his eyes, and the sky’s worlds repeated thus: Ajax closed his eyes, and the sky’s words repeated thus: Ajax closed his eyes, and the sky’s words repeated thus:  Ajax closed his eyes, and the sky’s words repeated thus:  …. Ad infinitum, until it covered in whole entire sky.” ….Ad infinitum, until it covered the whole entire sky.

Ta-da!!! ^_^


kbye.

Yum yum yum

Hello, citizens of the universe!

<theme song>

La la la la, la la la la, Virgil's world! La la la la, la la la la, Virgil's world! Virgil loves frozen yogurt and sweatshirts too! That's Virgil's world!!</theme song>

Today's post is going to be a wee bit brief because 1) I want to go to bed and 2) it's difficult for me to type on my dad's laptop because the keys are spaces differently than I'm used to and 3) I don't have a whole lot to say.

I really like frozen yogurt, because it sounds healthier than ice cream even though it really isn't. For example, "today I had frozen yogurt" sounds a lot better than "today I had ice cream." Anyhow, today I had frozen yogurt. To put it more elaborately: today I had frozen yogurt that was red velvet cupcake-flavored and topped with a ton of cookie dough pieces, chocolate chips, m 'n' ms, crushes kit kats, crushed oreos, crushes crunch bars, and yummy caramel goodness. 

Mmmmmm. 

But it's still healthier than ice cream by far.

This weekend I'm visiting my sister at college, and I got a wonderful college sweatshirt at the bookstore that I will definitely be wearing to school on Monday. I feel exceptionally smarter whilst wearing it. (I also got college sweatpants and a pen.)

And seeing my sister was fun, too. <3 We leave tomorrow though, and this makes me sad.

Peace,

Virgil

Duddddeeeee.

Right, so:

We (the Six Little Curly Fries) have just gotten back from our end-of-the-schoolyear trip to an amusement park, Cedar Point.  And I don't really think it's fair to have just one person cover the entire trip's ~9 hour glory, so I'd like for the Curly Fries to fill in their thoughts about the day here:

(Caveat: Momo and Virgil went on this mentally fast, mentally mental, mental, mental ride called The Top Thrill Dragster.  They're still pumped, I'm sure.  Be prepared.)

Carrie:*Sigh* I would've liked to go on more rides, but I ended up not suceeding my goal. Although, Lynda, xiy and I did go on a couple of the rides. We went on the Ferris Wheel and that little-ish kid ride that was actually kind of exciting and the Skyhawk and that swing one. We were also going to go on the Iron Dragon but didn't. Well, next time I shall take a risk and go on some of the rides I missed out on...and possibly some I was afraid to go on. But I had fun today, otherwise, just being with my buddies and completely beasting in the arcade (only in my opinion). And now I have a purple pillow and a blue dinosaur, of which I have come to name Nom-noms, to remember my fine fine day at Cedar Point.
Lynda:
Momo:
Virgil: Oh, we had a jolly good time. Momo and I succeeding in going on the "mentally mental" Top Trill Dragster (that's 120mph up and down a gazillion feet in seventeen seconds) and it was SO EPIC. (AHH LUDI AHH) The rest of the rides for the remainder of the day seemed quite tame in comparison, but they were still very fun. We threw our hands up and screamed at the top of our lungs anyways. We're cool like that. We also went on this one ride which isn't very scary (but extremely fun) called the Sky Hawk, which is basically like a swing set on steroids. I ate plenty of unhealthy food and then took a nap on the bus ride home (listening to Harry Potter film scores on my iPod), so it was overall a successful class field trip. We should totally do it again sometime. Okay, now I'm off to write my own post.  
xiy: Haha, I had fun today. I most certainly did not go on any roller coaster that was even remotely dangerous-looking (a "dangerous" roller coaster in my mind being anything that 1) goes upside down, and 2) has extremely tall hills and extremely sharp drops), but I still had loads of fun. My throat's a bit sore as well. (the long explanation of said sore throat in 3, 2, 1...)There was this really tame ride called the "Cedar Point Mine Ride" or somesuch. The hills were of middling height, so we'd go up a steep-ish hill, but the going-down bit was totally lame and involved, generally, a series of small dips. Ergo, (Latin!) Virgil, Momo, and House, followed by me (did you join in as well, Lynda?), had to spice things up a bit. Every single time the ride even thought about tipping slightly, they let loose a horrible, ear-torturing series of shrieks and "OH MY GOD!"s. So it was quite fun, in the end.
I had a funnel cake too ^.^; the powdered sugar in particular was quite yummily delicious. And I also ate some French fries (I split 'em with Lynda). And I had some Dippin' Dots (TM? R? C? I dunno what trademark abbrev. I should add to the end) ice cream. I was hungry when I came home. My legs are a bit sore, but it's definitely worth it.

Anyway, I thought that Cedar Point was quite fun.  My throat hurts quite a lot, which means that the day was a success in terms of screaming and celebrating summer and such.  We got rained on partway through, which was kind of annoying, but then the sun came back out and it was really really bloody hot ^_^  As far as food went, I ended up consuming 1) fries, 2) Icees, 3) funnel cakes, and 4) water, all of which are incredibly healthy, so I'm having a salad with extra healthy vegetable stuffs for dinner :)

... hm, what else?

Oh, yeah.  Dude, it's summer!! Ahh!!! We've all got free time and no homework and no schedules now... dude.(!!!!!!!! :D)  It's going to take some time to get used to this feeling again ("some time" meaning a few days).  *Sniff, sniff* We're growing up.

[*Is now cutting it short because I've got to go eat my nice dinner*]

Questions:
1) What is your favourite shade of nail polish (finger and/or toe) to wear on yourself?
2) WASN'T CEDAR POINT TODAY AMAZING, AHHHHH?!?!?!
3) Don't three interrobangs in a row look legit?
4) How's it going?
5) [Refer to question four:] No, seriously. [<- A statement in the form of a question, yeah.]
6) What are your five favourite television programmes?

Hopefully, you had a lovely day too.

With all due respect,
House

P.S. Dudeee, the World Cup has finally started! Ahhhhh ludi ahhhhh!!!!

Little Voices and Wildfired Whizz-Bangs

Hallo! Welcome to the wonderful day of Saturday! Well, actually it will be Sunday in less than an hour and a half, but you see I've been very busy all day. I won't bore you with the details; I haven't been home for more than twenty minutes at a time since I woke up. I had a ton of places to go, people to see, and then at 4 we all went to Lynda's house for some delicious food and adorable entertainment.
***
I just saw something shiny. 
***
So.... I'm working on a new project that involves traveling between parallel universes. It's not very legit so far, and I've only outlined, like, the first two chapters. It will be epic, though. Parallel universes are fun. I am writing this story in the hope that it will make people's brains explode, AND THEN I CAN TAKE OVER THE WORLD MUAHAHAHA!! (Athel: You weren't supposed to tell them about your world domination plans until after you turned their brains into sludge! ~ Me: Oh, right... um, forget I just said that. ~ Forge: lol.)
*Awkward change of subject*
LEGASP! I have not yet introduced you to my little voices, of which there are five. There's Charli, Athel, Igor, Gred, and Forge. Then there are the inner demons, Ed (who prefers to be called Draco) and Momo.
***
Charli: Um, hai.
Gred: Since when does Charli spell "hi" wrong?
Ed: Oh, she's been reading "My Immortal."
Athel: That explains everything.
Ed: Why'd you write my name as "Ed"? IT'S DRACO!
Me: Oh. Sorry, Ed.
Ed: CRUCIO!
Igor: Shut up, I have a migraine.
Momo: You and your stupid migraines. If we're too loud, you're too old. 
Forge: *Sets off Wildfired Whizz-Bangs in Virgil's brain*
Me: Owwww

Speaking of Whizz-Bangs, I just wrote a song called Whizz-Bangs. (Now wasn't that a clever segway?) Here I present the lyrics:
