Six Flags

We have been going to Six Flags a lot lately because we have season passes. It's lots of fun!

One of my favourite rides is the Wheelie! It's spins around in a circle, and then it goes upside-down, but because of the centrifugal force, you stay down on the seat, so it feels really weird, but i like it!

We're going to go again in about two weeks! Can't wait!

Alice in Wonderland

So we went to see Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" on Friday! It was so much fun! We all dressed up as the characters in the movie. I was Alice, and we also had the Cheshire Cat, 3 Mad Hatters, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, a march hare, and 2 white rabbits. I had so much fun making my costume! We found a blue shirt at Goodwill that was a little to big, so my mom altered it to fit me, and i made a blue skirt out of ribbons and tulle. I didn't have my camera with me, so when my mom gets all the pictures uploaded on her flickr, i will post some!

Film Festival

This summer at the library, they hosted the first ever Teen Film Fest. At the beginning of the summer, there was a movie-making workshop for a week, that my friends and I went to. In the class we talked about acting, lighting, directing, scripts, sets, all that kind of stuff. It was really cool, and we learned a lot. I had a lot of fun working on our videos. We did all the filming in one day, and I wanna thank the Hubbards for lending us their video camera! The editing took a little longer, but my parents bought iMovie '09 for Bea and I to use and it is AWESOME! It's so much better than iMovie '08 and it was really easy, too. The Film Fest was a red carpet event, and they encouraged everyone to dress up for it. First there was a belly-dancing performance. We had been working on the choreography all summer, but I couldn't be in it since I missed the last practice. Then they showed all the movies. There were 7 in all. After they showed them all every body got to vote for their favorite one, in each category, kinda like the Oscars. It was really cool, and the library might be doing it again next year! They're putting a disc with all of the movies on it for people to check out, too. Well, that's all I have to say for now! Thanks everybody for being so supportive and coming to the Film Festival!


Here's the first video "What's it all Mean?" This one won the award for 'Best Script'
We finally just got it up on YouTube. We had to change the song in the credits because of the copyright. The first time there was no sound. So here it is! Hope you enjoy!



And this second one "What Happened Before?" This one won the award for 'Best Directing', 'Best Acting', 'Best Costuming', and 'Best Picture' Hope you enjoy!

It was a really fun experience, and I can't wait to make more movies now!

Pictures From Washington DC!

OK, I was trying to post all the pictures from DC in one post but it was taking a long time and it was getting confusing and i kept putting it off, but i want to get them up here! So i am going to do it in a couple posts, that will be easier. Now for the pictures!


On our first whole day there we went to the National Zoo!

there were elephants. . .

and gorillas. . .

and orangutans. . .

and a bunch of other animals!

hippos. . . .

ooh look a jellyfish. . .

there's a cheetah way back there, but it's kinda hard to see. . .

i don't remember what this thing was called, it had some weird long name, but to me it looks like a giant hamster or something! :D

and this was like a ginormous hippo, but you can't see it very well in the picture because it wouldn't come out of the water. . .

Well, hope you enjoyed these pictures! I'll be posting more from the trip soon!

Washington DC!

We've been real busy getting ready to leave for Washington, DC! We're leaving in just a little bit, but i wanted to post before we go. I probably won't be posting much this week, but i'll take lots of pictures to post when i get back!!!

Chinese dragon finger puppet

this week at the library we made chinese dragon finger puppets!
i made mine green =)



they're really cute!



it's made out of felt, a foot of a feather boa, and googly eyes!

i haven't thought of a name for it yet. =)

I haven't blogged in a while so i thought i would just talk about some of the recent things i've done.

i got green streaks in my hair! i like dying my hair bright colors like that.



we used manic panic electric lizard hair dye



and we got a new dog! her name is Lilly. she is a poodle with a lot of fluffy hair! she's really sweet and likes to play. i think Georgia's really enjoying having a doggy friend to play with. they have been getting along really well!

the library has been having monthly belly dancing workshops at the teen program and my friend and i have been going to them. there has been 2 classes so far and i think it's really fun! i decided to get a coin belt of my own.
