Day 8 and 9

Day 8: A thank you letter to someone who has changed your life.
The person I am addressing this to is going to remain anonymous. Even that person won't know that this is for him, but it's the best one I could think of. Obviously I can thank my family and close friends for helping to shape who I am today, but this person helps alot, too, unconsciously.

To the person I am writing this to,
Your gentleness towards your little siblings, and your respect for the things you hold sacred have inspired me to live in such a way as to one day be worthy of a man like you.
Your's Sincerely,
Ruby

Day 9: A photo you took.


This photo was taken at a homeschooling camp I go to every year. It is a bonfire and an LED torch taken over time on the night setting on my camera. I think it's really cool, because the LED looks like lightning!!

My overall favourite, I think, is Ever the Same, by Rob Thomas. Though I do like You Belong With Me, by Taylor Swift, and Lift by Shannon Nole.

Day 2: A favorite movie.
My all-time favourite movie would have to be Lord of the Rings, the extended edition. But I also LOVE Tangled! Flynn Rider is so funny!

Day 3: A favorite book.
My all-time favourite book is Lord of the Rings! *Surprise, Surprise* However, I also really like Captain Blood, by Rafael Sabatini.

Day 4: A favorite television program.
Does a mini-series count? I love Pride and Prejudice (1995)!

Day 5: A favorite quote.
A favourite quote would be: "“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” ~Dr Seuss.

Day 6: A moment you wish you could relive.
This one's a tough one! I think I'm content with the memories of events. Maybe I'd like to relive a moment with no acne! ;P

Day 7: Five things you couldn't possibly live without.
Well, obviously I couldn't live without God, because if He didn't exist, no one would!
I need my family, my friends, the general things that keep a person alive, and love!

Well, that brings me up to date! More installments coming!

Happy Birthday to me!!!

Today was my birthday! I can no longer officially sing "Sixteen going on Seventeen" anymore! Scary thought!
I had a great day! I made a cake, and had pizza for dinner with my family. I got great presents, too. I got three Tolkien books from Mum and Dad, some pretty lanterns from two of my siblings, and two cookbooks from another! Tonight I'm going to watch the rest of the semifinal of the Aussie Open between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic! Yay, I love tennis!!!!

Back to School! :(

Well, on Monday, I started school again for the year. It's my last year! YAY! :) It's pretty difficult getting back into the swing of things, but I'm getting used to it.
The Christmas Holidays were great, especially over the New Year, while I was staying with a friend for a week. That was lots of fun!
Over the holidays, I also saw a few movies in the cinemas: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Megamind, and Tangled. My favourite is definitely Tangled! It is really funny, and fully worthy of the Disney Princess category! I really enjoyed the music in it too, and I hope to get the piano music book for it!
I made some healthier-than-I-usually-eat muffins the other day, sort of experimenting, and they were quite yummy, so I'll put the recipe up soon.
TTFN,
Ruby
