Random post of randomness

Hi all,

In light of Zara's lastest blog I've decided to post something. So here is my post...

on...

MINECRAFT

Yes, Minecraft. What I once thought was a great evil in this world has pulled me into it's block-y grasp. And it's freaking beautiful man. Freaking beautiful.

For those of you who don't know what Minecraft is, let me enlighten you. Minecraft is what is known as a 'sandbox game'. This means that it's basically a 'make-your-own-world' game.

There are two main types of gameplay in Minecraft. The first is creative mode. In this mode you have unlimited resources and can place and destroy blocks at will as well as free flying and not having hunger or lives. Creatures are also peaceful.

In survival mode, resources are limited, flying is only possible with a magic ring and there are creatures who will attempt to kill you. You have a certain amount of lives among other things.

Hardcore mode is a submode of survival in which you only have one life and everything is harder.

In either of the survival modes there are a set of objectives, ending with killing a dragon.

The game can be either played as an offline single player or online multiplayer.

Mods and Skins are ways to enhance gameplay. Skins change the look of blocks, whereas Mods add more items and change the look of others.

Personally, I play creative mode to build places from stories (as well as giant awesome treehouses).

If you have heaps of free time on your hands I recommend downloading it. Though I have to warn you, you have to buy an account. And it's very addictive.

Anywho

Nira out.

Well, We're Snowed Under

Hi Everyone

It's assessment week Down Under. Enesti's got an official Exams Week, the rest of us just have the unofficial equivalent. So, yup, lots of work. I personally have 3 tests and 2 assignments due in the next 5 school days.Good ol' Rosie, on the other hand, has been on Spring Break. Isn't she lucky?

What's been happening with us besides work you ask?

Well, Nira and I are writing our story, Hazel is not injuring herself for once, I'm not so sure about Enesti, I only see her once a week :( and I was actually talking to Rose today. She helped with my English story. Ta love!

I actually don't really have anything to say and I think that might be a reason we don't blog as much, we don't have anything in particular to say, so we feel like it's not worth blogging about boring stuff like school work.

But! Girls, I reckon we should use this blog we've got here! I don't get to talk to Rose and Enesti much any more and  I miss you guys! So what if we just talked about whatever, doesn't even matter if it's coherent. Slap something together, whether it's about a song, a book, a class, a fandom or just whatever's on your mind, put it up here or email it and we can talk about it. Sound like a plan?

Just realised this only works if you guys actually still read this... EXPECT AN EMAIL!!

Good luck with work and all the jazz!

Lots of love Zara

And So Arrives the Last of the Great 16s

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAREST ROSE!! Today you are 16! And not a moment too soon, the "baby" of the group has finally made it!

That, and birthdays are exhausting. Anyway!

Happy Birthday Rose, I hope you have a wonderful day, I'm going to assume you're still in the town of the Apple so I'm sure you're having fun, even if you're back home, I'm sure you're having fun! Unfortunately, it's more than a little hard to get a present to you but we have a surprise. You won't know when, you won't know where, but there is a surprise lurking, just for you!

Hmm, that surprise sounds evil now, oh well!!

Gotta dash, something about going to bed I think...

Anywho, Happy Sixteenyeariversarry to you Rosie!

Lots of Love

Love Zara

P.S Little Authors are setting off a party cannon in your honour! It's about to get sparkly!

Is is Spring Yet?

Howdy y'all.

So... It's winter here. And it's going to be winter for another few months.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Here's the thing about where I live: It's winter wonderland for the last half of December, and then it get COLD. Like, negative degrees Fahrenheit. Then it snows a buttload. Then it rains some. Then the rain freezes. Then it is actually warm for a bit and you start getting spring fever in mid February. Then it snows and freezes a bunch until late March when it starts to slowly melt. Trust me, there will be snow on the ground until April.

OK. So this whole blog post so far has been about the whether. Boring.

Here is more about my life:

-Starting Drivers Ed tomorrow (10 classes, 3 hours each class. After school. Welcome to hell, population Rose.)

-Getting braces in a few weeks (additional hellishness)

-Maybe accidentally going to the statewide poetry recitation competition (long story)

-Gonna slice some mouse hearts up and look at them under a microscope and possibly cure heart cancer but probably not. (another long story)

-Going to start watching Star Trek. Thoughts?

Best Wishes!
Rose
