people say you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone...

...truth is, you knew what you had, you just never thought you’d lose it."

Well, it's true.

I never thought that Wikipedia would be gone for 24 hours.

In all my hours of worry, the thought never occurred to me that I might lose wonderful Wikipedia. It came as a complete shock. *sigh*

BUT.

I've been doing my history homework on my iPod! And it's working. :P I read an article that said that wiki works on mobile devices. And it was right. So now I have my Wikipedia back. Kind of. And I can actually get some work done! So worry no more, wonderful people. If you are getting tired of seeing that black banner when ever you try to find out what the "counter reformation" is, the hop on your iPod...or iPhone...or whatever you have. And voila! Wiki is back!

(I sound like an advertisement, don't I...)

Anyway...

Here's a picture of the sick, coughing, scary-hair me for your entertainment...:P

Love,

~Vivi~

i'm living on ibuprofen...

(is that even how you spell it?)

Anyway, that's my lame excuse for not posting. School. Antioch retreat (oh yeah. I haven't even told y'all about that.) Sleep deprivation. And the fact that I'm sick.

So...(because I <3 ipod backgrounds, and because you deserve a random picture) here's to a wonderful Wednesday. I hope. ;)

love,

Vivi

happy birthday!

happy, happy birthday.

may all your dream come truuuuuuuue...

dear annette,

you're every single one of those things. and more. :D can't believe you're a teenager now.

i've learned a lot from you. more than you probably know. you're a very special person in my life. *never* forget that. :)

happy 13th!

lots of love,

~vivi~

i have way too much fun...

In case you haven't noticed, I...uhh...kinda redid my blog. again. :P

I have *way* too much fun doing that.

The funny thing is, I'm not a technical person at all. And I can't figure out how to do a ton of blog related things (that everyone knows how to except me :P). And I rely heavily on Google.

But still. I have a ton of fun just trying. :D

Anyway...for an update on life...

Starting time...12:18 PM

Mood...happy, tired...

Outside my window...it's sunny. And warmer then it's been lately. But still cold enough.

I'm thinking...about books...

I'm currently reading...King Lear for Lit. I read the entire harry potter series over break (and into starting school), though. About three weeks. And 7 books. I figured I averaged about 3 days per book which, considering how thick most of them are, is pretty good...:P

I'm listening to...Gab practicing flute. Ornaments being taken off the tree. :(

I'm wearing...sweatshirt, jeans. I got cold in my short sleeves. :D

I'm looking forward to...when Gab and I are going on a retreat in a week. (yay!)

I'm hoping...that I won't get too much co-op work on Tuesday, when we start back to co-op.

Yesterday, I...only had to do lit., redid my blog, watched Mr. Popper's Penguins, and nearly died in practice. By the way, the movie's pretty cute. I haven't read the book, though, so I didn't know what to expect...

I'm hungry for...lunch. a diet coke.

The song stuck inside my head is...i can't really have a song stuck in my head while Gab's practicing, unfortunately...

I love...movies. I think I've said that before.

I loathe...restless night's sleep. I had a ton of dreams last night. And I normally sleep dreamlessly. And the dreams I had were extremely weird.

This week, my goal is...go to 5 days of practice next week. I need to make up for Christmas break, when I barely went at all...

Did I meet last week's goal?...didn't do this last week...

Ending time...12:25 PM

Hello,

2012.

it's stiillll christmas!

How was your Christmas, everyone?

Oh, excuse me.

How *is* your Christmas, everyone?

After all, it's still Christmas, right? Maybe not Christmas Day, but definitely still Christmas.

While we were at our Pappap's house this weekend, we got a "Merry Christmas!" as a good bye, and then a "Oh, no, it's actually not Christmas anymore. So Happy New Year!". And Gab and I just looked at each other.

Really?!?!

Since when has Christmas ended after December 25th?

And who says that after that day, it's over? The government? The calendars? The factories that make the calendars?

So. Just thought I'd clear that up, as it's been bothering me since yesterday afternoon. :)

Oh, and (I know this is completely out of the point, but...) have you seen this video yet? It's fantastic.

And, according to USA Today, this guy's only 16! Yeah, I know. We were all amazed that he actually sounds like a guy! Imagine that! Younger then Justin Bieber, and sounds twice as mature. Amazing. :P

Anyway...lots of love, have fun on the rest of your break, and...

MERRY *CHRISTMAS*!

have a very blessed Christmas!

“Glory to God in the highest heaven,

and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I love you!
