Imaginings

Found here

I was searching pictures of Bath, England and found these!

Found here

I had never really seen pictures of Bath, except in Jane Austen movies, so I was surprised to find it may be my favourite location! (At least, it looks the most appealing to me.)

Closer

Time is drawing near for my trip.
Trip? Oh, yeah.  I forgot to mention that....
Hehe...
Yeah.  So I'm going on a trip this summer and that was actually the inspiration for this blog! I thought I put that up here, but I suppose not....
Back to the beginning.
The place where I will go is the living land of  ancient history and legend: a place I've wanted to go in a long time!  I feel as if I go and experience there, I will come back with some of its richness worn off on me. 
The place? England.
When do I leave? June 26th. 
It just hit me two nights ago when I was lying in bed listening to the cockroaches (I'm babysitting them for a friend) scurrying in their cage, that I am going.
I am burning with excitement!
11 more days!

Earworms

Hear a catchy song, maybe even one you can't stand (like by Justin Bieber), and it just replays over and over? Like an ipod stuck?
These are the ones in my head, or I wish were:

Nocturne in C-sharp Minor
I wish this was replaying in my head!! My dear friend played it at her senior piano recital.  It has a melancholy beginning, which transitions into a mysterious happiness, then returns to the sorrow. But, at the end, it concludes in joy.

A Little Fall of Rain
In choir this year, we sung a Les Miserables  medley; which led to general Les Mis obsession. My friends all mentioned this song: most love it, a few despise it.  I find it touching and beautiful...Caution: 'tis catchy.

Oh, and if you're allergic to Nick Jonas, you probably won't like it either.

Dark Waltz
This one's seriously stuck. Can't... make... it...stop!

The Prayer
Love this one; it's in the musical Camelot. I wish I could remember all the lyrics...

Macadamia and Pistachio

I would like everyone to meet a spunky, energetic someone...oh, and she's not the squirrel.  Meet Terez, the foster mother for the above dears:

That's her hand there.  :)  She raised two squirrels, Macadamia and Pistachio, from four months of age, to strapping, young squirrel teens.  She got them from the Wildlife Rescue Team, Inc. 

 

Now, meet the dears: Macadamia’s the girl, she has a more orange belly, Pistachio is the boy

I got to hold Macadamia several times. Once she even fell asleep in my hands!

Here she's being difficult.

So cute. They chew a lot.

Terez says when they were tiny, they grew so fast you could see the difference the next day!

Weird fact-squirrels do not carry rabies.

When they are little, a squirrel tail resembles a rat's. It get poofier with age.

 Are they not adorable? Terez gave the dears back to the society and now they are going through wildlife boot camp so they can live like other squirrellies.

Urk!

So, I don't know how many of you saw the squirrel post I did put up.  Unfortunately, as some of you might know, blogger crashed, and now my post is missing.  I'll try and reconstruct it.  Just thought you should now I was not slacking.

Guesses?

Readers,
Sorry for being gone so long.  I've been busy with concerts, finals and papers, so I haven't really had time to blog.   Anyways, I'll be posting here soon with pictures of something.... actually, somethings.... Can you guess what they are? Here's a hint:

Any guesses? (Avy, you don't count)

Notice anything new?

Tada! If your reading this, you've also noticed the new banner and background.  (I decided that I was going to design the blog properly before writing bunches, hence why I haven't written much.)  Both the banner and background were designed by me.  On the banner, I love the tree and the girl; they make such a good blogo (blog and logo-my dad came up with it). I didn't realize that she kind of looks like the old American Girl logo- the one with the girl reading to her doll. Oh well. :) The background-style was suggested by Ace. It's inspired by 1930s fabrics.  Overall, what do you think of the design? Oh, and is that green an ok color? 
Tell me what you think!
