When I was little, there was a toy that was this magic sand that coudl stay dry even in the water and I really wanted it. Although, like many of the other super fun toys I desired as young child.... I never got it. So finally this weekend, Melissa got it for me.
After a long day on the computer and eating sugar on snow, I decided I needed some relax time to try out my Wonder Sand! So, Martha and I filled a bowl with water and poured in some of the Wonder Sand. But Martha kept calling it magic sand, so now I can't stop. It also came with a shovel and a rake, which are now referred to as a magic shovel and a magic rake. So anyways, we looked on the back of the box for some pointers as to what kind of fun we could have with the Magic Sand. It suggested we build a tower (and showed a picture of a bridge below), it also said we could build bridges (and showed a picture of a tower directly below). So, we proceeded to build plenty of bridge like towers, and tower likes bridges.
Although, we soon found out that if the sand could collect above the water and float around on top. Then we developed a technique to keep all the sand below the water. Although, once that was complete, Martha threatened to show my sand what it was like to be above water! Dun dun dunnn....
Finally, we tired of the magic sand and decided to put it away. So we used the spoon they provided us with and put it through the funnel back into the container. After a few scoops went into the container, I asked Martha if she thought it was okay to get water in the container. She thought it would be fine. So we put plenty of water and plenty of sand back into the container. Then, thanks to the water in the container, there was magically no room for the rest of the sand! So after a breif laughing fit, we gave up. Thus concludes the adventures of Wonder Sand, the toy that will provide you with minutes of extreme fun and a bunch of leftover sand!
1) big, clunky rollerblades
2) spandex, preferably brightly colored
3) walkman that only plays tapes
4) Prince blaring from the headphones
5) a side pony tail secured loosely with a scrunchie
So, next time you plan on rollerblading, make sure you've checked this list! And thank you Kate, I'd be totally lost in the world of rollerblading had it not been for your most valuable advice.
Although in all seriousness, the reason for abolishing comments was because they were apparently getting spammed, according to Josh. Mine weren't, but that's alright. I am well aware that the point of this site is not to recieve comments. In fact, this may be a good time to announce the mission statement of daghlian.net/lib!
I here at Daghlian.net/lib, feel it is my duty to inform you with the latest going on's of Lib, with an insight to her brilliant inner thoughts. This site aims to brighten your day, if not with the wonderful text, then with a reminder that Lib is only a website away.
So there you have it! I hope I haven't shocked you too much with my incredible modesty. Oh, and as an update to an earlier entry, I did not get a part in the play "The Importance of Being Earnest." But, what can you do? This hasn't dampened by spirits in the slightest, because I already have big plans for this spring. My main objective being, be outside! I plan to take full advantage of nice weather by playing tennis with Alice (my tennis buddy), and rollerblading (with whoever wants to go, but Alice is the only one who expressed any interest, so she'll be my rollerblading buddy too).
So, I hope you enjoyed this rather interesting entry. I found it interesting at least. Although, I can't help but wonder how well sarcasim can be interpreted through writing. Because if you can't pick out what is sarcastic in here, and what isn't, well then I'm not going to help you figure it out, so you can just be confused and think I'm odd. That's all!
Other than that, I've had a pretty uneventful weekend, which is always nice. I had a soccer game today, which we lost 4-2, but it was fun anyway. Alright, well now I'm too distracted my "Alias" to continue updating. This is all for now.
Aside from that, I've had a pretty normal day. I just returned home from the winter sports banquet, and not much to report there. I also am auditioning for "The Importance of Being Earnest," which will be directed by Molly Tarter. I thought it'd be fun to be in a play, so if I get it, then that would be cool, and if I don't, that's cool too. Although, the only downside of possibly doing the play and doing the dance performance is that I can't go to this YES conference thing (Kate, if there's a link, you should give it to me). It's some environment thing. I don't really know the details, but it looked fun. Unfortunately though, it is the same weekend as the dance performance... Oh well. So that's all for today.
I quit my job! After trying out the job for two days I decided it just was not for me. Mixed in with school, homework, tennis, tap, soccer, wanting to hang out with my friends and possibly being involved in Molly Tarter's play it was more than I wanted to deal with all at once. Not to mention that I wasn't crazy about the job in the first place. It was a little to job-ish for me, so I'm looking into other job options for the summer. I'm mainly hoping to get a job at the VINS summer camp. So it was a very stressful week making the realization that getting this job was a mistake, but it's all resolved now and in the future I'll be more careful before I make a commitment like that.
On another note, tomorrow's my birthday! Fun. And the next day is Myrto and Beth's birthdays, followed closely (on Thursday) by Aaron's birthday! Lots of March birthdays.
Speaking of March... When the discussion of favorite months comes up, I usually hear people say they hate March. This is always rather perplexing to me, because I think we all know March is an incredibly awesomely wonderful month. So earlier today, while talking to Emmett (FitzGerald), I came to the brilliant conclusion that people just have a love/hate relationship with March. They love to hate it. I know that everyone would dearly miss March if it were somehow miraculously eliminated from the year. But don't worry, that won't happen! So we can continue to (secretly) love March!
So that brings us to Monday. I had school then tap. Tap was a half hour longer though because we didn't have it last week. So that was alright.
Tuesday we all had to take the NSRE's because of the "No Child Left Behind Act." Sophmores had math on Tuesday and English on Wednesday. They were both incredibly easy. Tuesday night, I had my first day of work at Angeleno's. I'm not sure how much I like it yet, I'm thinking it's not really my thing. But, I'm going to stick with it for a while and see how it goes. Luckily I have the luxury of doing that because I'm not exactly in dire need of a job. It's mainly to give me something to do during the summer and have extra spending money. So we'll see.
Alright, well onto Wednesday. So we took the English NSRE and then went to a Great Big Sea concert, hence the title "Great Big Sea." It was at the Higher Ground which is a really cool place, I had never been there. Although unfortunately they're planning to tear it, and some other buildings around it down and put up some new dumb building. Obviously I'm not entirely clear on the details. But it was a very fun night.
So now what do you know, it's Thursday. I had tennis tonight and am now relaxing on the couch. I also just looked at the most recent photos of Sophers and she's looking very cute! I caught myself thinking for a moment that she looked kind of like baby Alison. Although, I realized that must just be because of the fact that they're both babies, because it wouldn't make much sense for them to look alike seeing as they aren't exactly blood related. So that fills you in on the events of the week. Maybe later I'll have something of substance to write about, but this is what you get for now.
Phew, so I'm done that long rant. Now to my other business, before I am forced the leave the computer and head to bed. Good job to the boys basketball team for winning tonight! Alright, well I am off to bed so that I may have some chance of getting up on time for school.
