2012!

Happy new year everyone. The world is now gonna end this year!!!! 2012 is the apocalypse! Sorry about that...

Anyways, now that it's a new year it's time for new years resolutions that we know aren't gonna stick... :) Some of mine (related to the blog) are as follows:
A) Not to lie on my blog ( by this I mean saying something like "...and look forward to my post on alligators coming out this Tuesday..." and then post about crocodiles on Wednesday.)
 B) The write another amazing animals post. And randomness chronicles :P
C) Post a photo of my current snowman and future snowmen
D0 Post more often  (I know what you're thinking- "yeah right, like she hasn't said that a million times already..." Well you know what I say "Shut up! I'm a person and I try, alright?")
E) stop talking to myself in text...

Not sure if I'll be able to keep any of these so wish me luck :)

Oh, guess what? 800 pageviews, that's what! I know, it's not very much but I only had about 700 a few weeks ago so, yay!

I'll finish off by a random chronicle poem:

There one was a flammable dog
a sock, a fig, and a hog
Thay all ate some stew
Then painted on you
All as a frog barfed a log

Lovely isn't it? And sensical too...

Just to let you know...

I'm currently visiting family and you might not hear much from me until the weekend. Bye. And merry Christmas everyone!

BTW

Hi everyone. You may e thinking that I haven't posted in a while. Well, I actually did but blogspot says that I posted that post in November... here's a link to the post. You'll hear more from me later today or tomorrow. Here's a link to that post from about 4 days ago... http://orangeblogrox.blogspot.com/2011/11/day-to-day-life.html

Oops...

Well, I haven't posted in a long while. I would have enjoyed to compensate for that by writing a super long post but I can't - sorry. What I can do for you at the moment though is write a Haiku or two (ha- that rhythmic!). I should probably warn you that while I'm half-decent at writing poetry, I sorta lack haiku skills. Whatever- I'll still give it a go..:

OrangeGirl writes about objects in her bedroom in Haiku:

Sock puppets are cool
Making them is my hobby
Button eyes, yarn hair

My selective calc.
Never works when I try him
Friends get real digits

Cucumber the sock
He is a real movie star
Yum-yum's forever pal

Stuffed mule on my bed
The Grand Canyon is his home
His name is Brighty

Giant stack of books
Belongs to the library
Knowledge to be gained and lost

Neon Hued Curtains
Brightening up my bedroom
Dotted and orange


Wow- that was longe rthan I expected- maybe I should try hiku posts more often...

Bye folks,

Peace,

Orange Girl

Annoyed with Apple

Grrrrrrrrr... I'm starting to get really frustrated. Today I decided I would finally update my iPod touch to IOs5. The software is really cool and impressive the speed of recovery is not. iTunes stared to reload my apps about an hour ago and I only have 10 out of my original 72 (maybe 73?). Anger! Oh, and none of my songs and TV episodes are there either. I understand that my posts are shorter than those of almost every other blogger but who honestly cares? At least I actually post more than once a month (at least most of the time...)You know what's one of the best songs ever? Baby monkey (riding backwards on a pig) by Parry Gripp. Youtube it. I would put the link but youtube currently isn't working on my computer \. Oh, would you look at that? 'What?', you say. 14 apps, that's what! :)

Requests?

I've now had this blog for a bit more than year. It's turned out pretty well I mean sure, I only have 615 pageviews but I kow for a fact that 0% of the are mine. I now have 38 posts. This leads me to probably the biggest problem with my blog. My posting. It may be partially forgetfulness or maybe partially laziness but I beleive there is a more immenant problem. I have no idea what to talk about. You can and will help. Anyone reading this post must comment telling me what they want me to talk about. I could be anything, as long as it's appropriate! Thanks! Now comment!.

Day to Day Life

I finally won my Friends and my moose-pulled sled race on our way to our town's one room school house. I'm so proud of Jimmy, my family's moose for getting me there on time. We've just recently received a crate of slates of chalk for math and language class, technology never ceases to amaze me! At recess time everyone was taking advantage of the super mild temperature of -15 degrees, I was almost summer was coming up instead of winter. Once my brother and I Got home we began to eavesdrop on our parents. They were considering upgrading from our cozy igloo in Ottawa to a more spacious one in our nations capital, Toronto...







How many people actually believed this sounds like the life of an average Canadian? We have to stop those stereotypes! Ottawa is our capital, not Toronto! We are just as technologically advanced as the USA! Proof? This post was written on an iPod touch 4th gen. We don't have pet moose! In fact, I don't think I've ever seen one before and I've been in Canada my whole life! Oh, and it's not _that_ cold up here...

Please get your facts straight, canadiens matter!

Toonie metaphor

Toonies are cool. For you non-Canadians, toonies are our 2 dollar coins. they are all shiny and they have polar bears on them. Also much more convenient than 2 loonies (1$ coins). I have one with 3 polar bears on it and it says "knowledge". They kind remind me of those sandwich cookies with jam in the centre of 1 cookie but not the other. Boy, do those taste good... :)

This was a sort of pointless rant... But it's better than not posting at all.

Editing time :)

Within the past few days I've started try to fix up my blog. Firstly I've fixed the column sizes. I'm currently trying to add HTML coding gadgets (for instance, look at the bottom of the page for the ball clock). I'd like to add all sorts of GIFs as well. Maybe some interactive animals. I'm trying to make a new title image. Lastly, I'm considering changing the background image. I'm still debating over whether to use one of bloggers or an HTML coding. So, if next time you visit my blog and it looks very different, don't worry, it's still the awesome orange blog. :)

Oh My

I haven't posted in a while. there will be a good, solid post later today. I promise.

Albert: my bffl!

This is Albert. He's my pet rock and one of my BFFLs. I got him at antelope island which is on The Great Salt Lake (in salt lake city) when I was on vacation this summer. He seems to get along pretty well with all my gnomes and stuffies. And he's huggable!!!!! :)

Garden gnome Erasers

I got these about a month ago at claires! They are the coolest things ever. I <3 garden gnomes! They are the coolestest! I even did a speech on the one year. The photos were taken from my iPod so they probably aren't the best quality, sorry. Speaking of my iPod, I downloaded the blogger app and therefore hope to post more frequently.

This game is amazingly addicting! Try playing it! I have nothing more interesting to post at the moment...
