Spirit of the Moon (my new project/an awesome e-zine!)

To all of you wondering why I haven't posted in more than a month... I just haven't "felt" it. I've decided that from now on, I will make NO MORE promises about posts. I'll post when I have something to say AND have time to do it. I might post a recap of the Olympics/preview of figure skating worlds tomorrow, but I have a lot of work to do, so I might not.


The other reason why I haven't been posting, is because I've been working on an AWESOME new project!!! It's an e-zine by and for girls ages 9-14, and we just published the first issue yesterday!!! So head on over to spiritofthemoon.wordpress.com to check it out! Even if you're not a girl between the ages of 9-14, it's still pretty cool :) Feel free to forward the link to your friends, or post the link on your blog. I want to make a blog button, but I don't know how. Can anyone tell me how/make one for me?


Sorry for the long absence, but again, please remember that I will only be posting when I have time, which it seems is not often. I still love all of you!

One year...

One year ago (exactly, check the time) I published my first post. Since then, my writing (on the blog, at least) has gone down hill drastically. Check out THIS post to see what I mean. Now, I'm still in love with blogger, and I think that my writing is getting better again :) Over the last few days I've made quite a few changes to the blog, and I will continue to improve the blog over the next year. You can help me do that by telling me what you like and don't like about the blog.

And now it's 8:44 AM so I had better publish if I want the time to work out :)

Music + New Background!

I added a playlist! Do you like it? More songs will be added all the time. If you have a suggestion, leave it in the comments!

I also changed the background. I think I'm going to get a custom background soon, but I'm still trying to decide exactly what I want. I also don't know how to make one, so I'll probably have to ask someone else to do it. If I can figure out how, I'll do it myself. Does anyone know how to get HTML code if I make something on PhotoShop? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Random INSPIRATION

Yes, I've changed the name of my blog. I think that the new name accurately reflects what the blog will now be like. I will basically post about whatever inspires me. Expect to see a very wide, seemingly random variety of topics :)
A new feature of the blog will be weekly polls. I'm brainstorming ideas tonight, and I'll put the first one up tomorrow. As always, if you have something that you would like me to post about, leave it in the comments section. If you don't want everyone to see it, choose an old post.
In the coming weeks, expect to see a lot of Olympic themed posts, as they start on Friday. Friday also turns out to be my blog's first birthday. I'll have to think of something exciting to celebrate :)


To start of the inspiration, here are two pieces of music played by an amazing pianist. Also, check out the motivational quotes on the sidebar.

New Layout

Is temporary. If you know where to find cute templates (Probably abstract, but anything goes) leave a comment!

Sorry!

My goal is to post every day... that obviously didn't happen this weekend. It's not that I don't have ideas - I have plenty - I just never got around to it.

The spring gym meet was on Saturday. I will be posting that soon, probably tomorrow. No vids, sorry. If anyone wants to watch it, either come over to my house, or I can email it to you. (it's an imovie)

After the meet we went to the youth dreamers open house. I will be posting about the youth dreamers sometime in the next week.

Sunday was the last day of hebrew school. Yey! Oh, and we had graduation on Thursday, which was actually kind of fun. Maybe I'll post about that to!

Then we had our last D&D session until August. It was a wrap-up from our first adventure, but we're already heading into our 2nd!

In the next week or 2, I'll be having a few polls (or I might do it in the comments section, I'm not sure yet) about what you like on this blog, what you don't like, what you want, etc. I'm also going to write a post about why I love comments, which will hopefully be up by Friday. It should be amusing, and please read it because I'm actually going to be saying something. (instead of just laughing)

So, until then, I'll leave you with this awesome video! I absolutely LOVE riverdance!

followers?

well i know i have 3 public followers. and at least 2 private followers. if you follow privately, please leave me a comment (anonymously if you must) so i know how many followers i have. and please consider following publicly. because it makes the blog look  a lot better. and comment comment comment. thanks.

Braces...and other stuff

I'm getting braces in a few weeks :(

They might be the kind without the colored bands, but if they are colored i don't know what to get. So vote in the poll! If you have specific suggestions leave a comment (now Icy Reactions).

And I've added this "what do you think?" thing below each post, so use it!

btw, in my last poll I only had 7 votes, but 4 people said they read my blog because they found it interesting:) 2 said I made them come here and 1 said they have no idea why they're wasting their time, but that was my little sis, so I don't care.

Anyway people, COMMENT, COMMENT, COMMENT! Even if it has nothing to do with the post, COMMENT ANYWAY! And suggest posts for me to write. Current events, old events, future events(???), animals, sports, books, art, music, random questions(!!!!), anything else you can think of. And COMMENT!

Also, I added Olympic picture of the day below connect 4. And Icy is cool/awesome/wow.

BYE!

COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Over 10!

Well I have more than 10 posts! This would be the 13th (aahhhhhh! the monsters are coming!). I know that's kind of depressing for almost two months :) btw, Ilona just got 50!

Connect 4

I am REALLY obsessed with connect 4 right now! I added my fave connect 4 gadget at the bottom of the page. Just to warn you it's pretty good. So have fun playing!

update!

Hi! I just added a blog list on the left, so please check them out! I will most likely be adding more blogs soon, but for now enjoy the 4 blogs listed!

I will also be writing more posts soon. I am very obsessed with China right now, so expect posts about China. I also realized that most of you probably had no idea what I was talking about in the gymnastics post, so I'm hoping to either get videos of me, or link to other videos that have the same skills so that you can understand a little better. Also, the title of that post was Gymnastics, part 1. Part 2 was going to be about the American Cup (an international meet that happened the same day), but I have decided to not write that post. I might write something about girl scouts soon, but it's likely that I'll decide not to. I am also going to write a post (hopefully a series of posts) about the straw bridge project that me and Wren are working on.

That's it for now, please check out the blogs I linked to! And also if you guys would follow my blog, and vote in my pole if you haven't already, that would be great! Thanks!

p.s. Icy=awesome/cool/wow

just pretend this is the first post

Welcome to my blog!

I have 3 basic goals while blogging:

1. Amuse everyone who reads it
2. Inform everyone who reads it
3. Amuse myself

The last one should be the easiest.

The second one shouldn't be to hard.

It's the last one that I'm worried about. See, if I don't amuse you, you have no reason to come back. And I want you to come back. Because if I have no readers, there is no point in blogging. So I'm going to try number one. But you guys have to help me out. I just don't know how yet...but I'll think of something.

Ok, so the web address is whatifeellikewritingabout.blogspot.com. Note the first part. "What i feel like writing about." And the name of the blog is Random Things. So you can probably guess that this blog is not about any one thing. The things that I will most likely blog about the most, are: 

• Straw bridges
• Gymnastics
• Poems
• Possibly story's
• Random things not connected to anything else
• Things that confuse me
• Stuff that you guys (and gals but I'm just going to call you guys because it sounds better) like
• Random stuff that makes a impression on me

And now, just to see if it works, I'm going to put in a picture.

That is a bridge called the Dinosaur Bridge. I think it's pretty cool.

Now I'm going to try a link. I'm going to link to this craziness. It's called parkour, and it. is. awesome.

ok, end of third post. oops, i mean first. don't forget to vote in my poll!
