Updates!!

Hi my people.

I guess I can't really call you my people anymore because I haven't been doing a good job of updating... =(

Like, I have no excuses.

I have toooons of time to write posts, but I spend it reading fanfic and being lazy.

I am a religiously lazy person.

Yes, my religion is Lazy.

Anyway (I hate it when people say or write 'anywho'. It's... weird..), since I only have FOUR DAYS OF SCHOOL LEFT (But I might finish my math this weekend, not sure), I will be posting more this summer! Yay!

Okay, I will be posting a tutorial this weekend as well as a post about One Direction.

The tutorial will be on how to convert YouTube videos into MP3 files and putting them on iTunes.
note- windows operating systems only

The One Direction post will contain lots of- ASDFGHJKLs and pictures. Probably YouTube videos also. =)

Next weekend I plan on another One Direction post and a music post.

The music post will be filled with my crazy antics and loooooots of videos. =)

The One Direction post will most likely be very similar to the one this weekend, but some different photos, videos, and I will be like this- LKJHGFDSA.

Just kidding, ASDFGHJKL looks a lot better.

Sooo that's what you get to look forward to, haha! I'm sorry this isn't a 'real' post, but you got to know what's coming up!

BYE! I love you all!!

So basically on YouTube I watch this guy and he has 'After Videos'. So I'm doing After Posts.

Because this is not a video.

No, I won't be doing a vlog because that would reveal my identity.

THING ONE!!!!!

I need a name for you people. Choose one of these names (or come up with your own!) and add it to your comment.

I like putting it on for videos (music videos) and to horse around with my friends. Every time I go to a friends house I bring my make up. Just ask Maddie, Amelia, and Daylily! I like it because it makes me feel special. Like, "Look at me, I'm wearing make up!" Awkward but true answer. :-)

9. What inspired you to start blogging?

    Well, my friend Amelia had a blog and I decided to start one too. Being homeschooled and wanting to tell the web about it also helped.

The Wizard of Oz, Book vs. Movie

Dear Readers,
I have another book vs. movie post, and this one is about the Wizard of Oz. I recently finshed the book, and I noticed a lot of changes from the movie. Here is a list of things. I won't list all of them because I think that you should read the book and I don't want to spoil it!

1. It's not red slippers, it's silver slippers!
2. The original Wizard of Oz describes a different appearance for Dorothy, the Lion, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodsman.
3. They see the Wizard one at a time.

I think that 3 differences is enough, especially as they are the strongest, at least I thought! I hope that you read the Wizard of Oz!

My New Book List

Some of you might have noticed - I changed my book list. It is the gadget on the left side of my blog, called "Good Reads". I recently changed

• The name
• The books
• How the list works.

I made it so that if you click on a book, it will open a new tab and show you a site that has information about the book. I thought it would be useful if someone wanted to learn more about the book before actually reading it. You never know if you like a book until you either read it, or learn more about it! That's all.

The Little Mermaid Original VS The Little Mermaid Movie

Today I read Hans Christian Andersen's, The Little Mermaid. Since I have seen the movie MILLIONS of times, I didn't have to watch it all over again. What I did was:

1. Read the original version.
2. Compare the two versions.

That doesn't seem like a lot, but the story was long. I'm sure it was one of the longest in the book!! It was also hard to understand, so I re-read it. That added to the time it took!
One of the things that was different with the movie is that the little mermaid (she doesn't actually have a name in the real version) gets married to the prince. In the real tale, she dies. And she doesn't marry the prince. Someone else does. =( Sad, right? ='(  Another difference is that in the original, the little mermaid does not have animal friends that talk to her and lead her on her way.  And in the tale, when the little mermaid gets her legs, her feet feel like sharp knives are digging into them and her feet bleed. Obviously that doesn't happen in the Disney movie!!

It is much better, though. It has much more detail. For example, in the Andersen version, we learn much more about each of the sister's, whereas in the Disney version those characters are not developed at all. I don't want to tell you too many details because you should read it!

Here is a picture of the cover of my book. It has a baby sitting on a lily pad and a stork (or is it a heron?) standing on one leg next to the baby.
Thanks! I hope you read the book, and have a different idea about the movie.
