Let's have a quote-off!


So, I had a brilliant idea.

And I went to Amy with this idea.

"Amy!" said I, "We should vlog again. Vlogging is fun."

"Nooo." said she, "I make a fool of myself when we vlog."

"Yes you do," I said, "I'll get the camera."

............................

So we did.


Kudos if you know even half the movies we quoted.

Brownies for those who catch the random quotes that we threw in there between movies.

Pie for those who got every single reference.



I can't believe I forgot to post about this before! But Rachel is having an epic beautifully British/Doctor Who giveaway that... ends tonight.


I want to win it.

Or more specifically:

That. ^^^ I want to win that.

I feel bad, not posting earlier.


But yeah. Go check it out.

Cheers and God bless, y'all.

FIGHT THE FAIRIES!

More randomness

Five random facts

1.) I made cake with my nieces today.


I burned it. 
I didn't hear the timer, and my sense of smell is rubbish. So..... long story short, the cake was in the oven for like half an hour longer than it ought to have been. 

*headdesk*

2.) We got new couches! They are prettyful and not falling apart and it's nice. 


3.) I drew this. It's one of my favorite prayers and I wanted to make it holy card sized.


4.) We watched Goonies the other day. It needs a bit of editing. But it was fun, and little Sean Astin was adorable. 


5.) I can relate to this. This is me. 


And now I'm going. 

Cheers!

Lately, in the mad house.

How was Halloween for you guys? I know that there are some people who don't like it because it's been warped to creepy. But it's the evening of All Saints' Day so we celebrate it.


To be honest, Halloween is not my favorite holiday, because I don't like how much it's been turned to freaky. The ghosties and ghoulies and vampires that people dress up as creep me out.


But anyway this year, we did not get a pinata, since they were ridiculously priced and we could spend that money on CANDY instead.

So we decided to decorate lunch bags, stuff them with candy, and have a bag hunt.

I was technically supposed to be doing illustrations.


But I got sucked into the craftiness.







I might have helped Annie make a TARDIS

She was very proud.


Then I went and helped the little kids get all dressed up.

it's a weird picture, don't look at it.

And Amy stuffed the bags. 


And Kat made caramel corn.


Boom.


Annie's outfit was the most fun to do, I think. In case you couldn't tell she went as Eleven, complete with Kat's sonic and bowtie.

It's a fezz, she wears a fezz now. Fezzes are cool.

And then Amy and I took them trick-or-treating for an hour or so, before we came home and watched The Halloween that Almost Wasn't. (Which is one of the stupidest, B rated movies on the planet, but we love it and it's hilarious.)


Sammie fell asleep on yours truly and it was adorable.


And then, being quite worn out, we called it a night.

Good times, you guys. *grin*


Do you guys realize that the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary is in less than three weeks?


Good bye!

CONFETTI, IT'S A PARAAADE!

"THIS IS THE END," Treskie bawls at the top of her lungs, "HOLD YOUR BREATH AND COUNT TO TEEEEN."

It's the last day and the happiness I feel is epic.






Don't get me wrong, I think  I'm glad I did this. I actually liked having a prompt and posting every day for a month.

But it got really old, really, really fast.

I will not be doing another one of these for a while, if ever. It gets boring! And I'm pretty sure you guys were bored too.

If not:


If so:


I apologize.

Anyway.


Day Thirty:Your favorite song at this time last year

I'm pretty sure this time last year I was obsessed with Il Volo.

Like, to the point where I informed my mother (in jest, of course) that I was going to marry the middle guy.

*Cough*

So here's one of my favorites. 

This Time


Tell me you're in
Tell me I'm home
Promise you'll stay
And don't let me go.


I'm waiting for a sign
So tell me that it's real this time.


Let me in
kill this doubt
'Cause from this high it's a long way down.
Break my fall catch me now.


Tell me you're in
Tell me I'm home
Promise you'll stay
And don't let me go.


I'm waiting for a sign.
I need to know it's real this time.



Isn't it purty? 

And now I shall away. 

And I shan't be blogging tomorrow. 

MWHAHAHAHAHA!

Cheers and God bless. 

IT'S OVER.

Soon. Sooon. SOOOOOOOON.

Day twenty-nine
A song from your childhood.

I sat here forever puzzling about this stupid song.

I literally couldn't remember a single song from my childhood that I wanted to post.

For real.

I even called Amy and asked for help. And she, being a nice sister, threw out loads of suggestions. To all of which, I kept saying, "Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Noooopety no. WHAT!? NO! Never listening to that again. Nope."

I almost posted the 50 States that Rhyme song. But I couldn't find the version I wanted. (it's thanks to that song that I can list every State without hesitation.)

So I rejected some more of Amy's ideas before finally coming up with my own.

This song's always been one of my favorite oldies. My dad used to sing it all the time, and I dunno. It just makes me happy to listen to it. Which is weird, because it's really kind of sad. Hehehe!

Rhythm of the Rain
The Cascades


Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain, 
telling me just what a fool I've been.


I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain.
And let me be alone again. 

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start


But little does she know
That when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart


Rain please tell me now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another when my hearts somewhere far away



Yeah, that song makes me happy. There's something wrong with me.

....................

Tomorrow is the last day and I freaking can't wait.


I'm so tired of this challenge, you guys.

I'm pretty sure you are too.

I have officially inundated you with my music.

*Pompoms*

But it's going to be over!!!!!!!



Cheers!
