Today We Put Our Christmas Tree Up.

We finally put our tree up, with 3 days to go til Christmas. It's quite pretty but it still doesn't put me in the Christmas mood.

It doesn't feel like Christmas though, despite the fact that I'm typing this on a laptop in the living room and I can see the Christmas tree right now, straight infront of me. Normally at Christmas time, it's stinkin' hot and we spend the day in one of our relatives pools.

But today it was freezing cold and it rained! In Summer! Apparently it snowed in the Australian Alps today.

It just feels like any other winter day.

I think that the reason that it doesn't feel like Christmas is because of the weather. And it can be sunny all year around so I don't just associate the weather with Christmas, like all you Americans associate now with Christmas. Besides, you get snow just at Christmas time, not all year round.

I'm pretty sure that some plague or something has hit Australia. None of the other Australian blogs I follow really feel like it's Christmas either. I call it the it-doesn't-feel-like-Christmas-plague.

A New Era of My Life + An Award.

Yesterday marked a new era in my life. I'm 13. I'm a teenager. It's great, because I don't feel as young in the blogosphere anymore :P

Anyway, because it's my last year in primary school I just had to have a party. And not to brag or anything, but my party organising skills are quite good! (have I ever mentioned my Harry Potter party when I turned 11? But that's another story...) After school, I went down to the park and started setting up for my party, because our house is a bit of a mess at the moment. It was really windy.

I invited 1 friend from out of school, 6 girls from my class and 4 boys. I don't really feel like typing right now, so this is gonna be short. Anyway,my sister and my dad headed down about 10 minutes before us to hide everything for the treasure hunt, and by the time Mum and I got there, my best friend was there already :P

We were gonna have a water fight, but it got too cold. We played tug-a-war and pass the parcel. Pass the parcel was by far the best game of the night. It was a bit sad though, because I couldn't play my favourite Starkid songs because they are considered, well, not cool, and no one likes them (those friends that don't have no taste... :P). It was wrapped in newspaper, but with the occasional coloured layer which you could throw instead of pass. One of the boys got all of the Smiggle pig rubbers I put in though. It was funny.

I know most of you don't want to here about what I got, but some of you might, so I got an iTunes voucher, some money, some more Smiggle stuff (including a pig rubber...!) some notebooks and pens, a lava lamp, this really pretty black and white polka dot top, Dymocks vouchers, some Diva bangles and earrings (which just gives me an excuse to get my ears pierced) and this really pretty rose ring.

I really enjoyed my party. Thanks Mum! (I might add pictures soon)


I got back from the party, checked my email, and found a new comment from the lovely Rose @ people tell me saying that she's awarded me on her blog :D Thanks Rose!

She says that she thinks that themain idea of the award is to pass it onto other bloggers, so I pass it onto
Random Rawr (even if she already has it)
Jessica Nicole
Hayhay
beacuse you all have a lovely blog, and your comments are what keep me going. But that doesn't mean that just these guysare the only ones who deserve it. If you follow, you deserve it too, so I award you too! So I'm basically rewarding all of my followers!



P.S. Just thought I'd mention that my profile pic is at Bondi Beach; not just any old beach!

Preparing

Right now, I'm watching A Very Potter Musical, trying to get myself even more excited for Deathly Hallows. Tickets have been booked. YAY! It probably didn't help that Darren Criss was on Glee last night, with him being in AVPM.(Ahh. Last nights episode was the best.)

"I gotta get back to Hogwarts,
I gotta get back to school.
Gotta get myself to Hogwarts,
Where everybody knows I'm cool."

Then tomorrow I think I'll watch all the movies in order.

I'm also re-reading the 7th book for about the millionth time.I have a week to finish it, and I'm only up the the 7 Potters part.


What are you doing to prepare for the new movie? Are you as excited as I am?
