Ways To Die

As we near the apocalypse, I thought this video might be appropriate.

Love the piano chords, Alex. :)
I'm trying to put together a little end-of-the-world documentary. I should be able to at least put up a preview sometime this week.....
So bear with me!

Techno-Whiz

YAY!
My iPod nano (purchased with Bat Mitzvah money) arrived today! It's blue, 8 GB. 6th Generation.

I've named it Genevieve, Gigi for short. I've been messing around with it. Although I don't have headphones, I have a speaker hat I got as a Bat Mitzvah (I guess people just assume all teenagers have iPods and such). I'm playing around with the settings. So awesome.
Unfortunately, I can't download anything yet because dad wants to help set the settings when i plug it in and he's at a concert with Mom. Mom gets a ton of free ASO tickets because she makes and airs their show on GPB.
So, until I get music and pictures and stuff, let's just give a hooray for Genevieve!
YAY GIGI!

FINALLY

Okay guys, I know you've been waiting for over a month for Emma's b-day animation. Emma, I'm really sorry it took so long. But I hope it was worth it!
So, three disclaimers. One, those things that fall on the bananas are guinea pigs. They look ridiculous. Trust me, I can draw guinea pigs. Two, I know my flute animation is a little choppy. But it was hard, and I lost my progress like three times. Three, my eyes look nothing like yours, but they are to communicate that you can draw eyes well.
Enjoy!

So yeah. Questions? Comments?
I'm really sorry it took so long, but I hope it's worth it.

NOTE: Ugh! iMovie cut off so much! I'm sorry emma. The confetti spells yay. Even though you CAN"T SEE IT. And it says from Julia at the end on the bottom.

Bugaboos

What are bugaboos?
Well that's a great question. Bugaboos are mushroom like carnivorous creatures with feet.
Pretty weird. I mean, I've drawn plenty of twisted, weird, really, really random creatures myself....

(These are some of my random creatures I doodled in 5th grade. Certainly not my 

best work since then, but it was what I clicked on)

But bugaboos are weirder. And cooler. Unique. They spray poisonous fumes and acid. There are different types.

WHITE - are possibly considered the least dangerous.  They are the jellyfish of the bugaboo world, relying on instinct alone, with no deliberate malicious instinct. Personnel training to do work involving bugaboos start with these to learn how to care for bugaboos and react to their motions. White bugaboos live alone and mate once in their lifetime. They prefer northern woodland as unpopulated by humans as they can find. Contact with human creatures severely confuses them, and they are thus subjected to danger.

GREEN - Greens are also rather free of malicious intent. Although they prey often to keep up their energy supply, they treat their encounters with humans as laughable occasions. Mostly any harm that befalls you will be the bugaboo's idea of a practical joke. It will get confused if you get mad when such an occasion befalls you (watch your feet) and the more moody of them will then proceed to eat you and/or your belongings. Greens love household objects like lamps and shoes for food.

YELLOW - Yellow is when it starts to get nasty. They live and hunt in packs, like lions, often in wild areas such as the savanna. Yellows love the sport to invoke creativity in every unique chase. They are smart and fast - athletes. They can jump very high and love creating obstacle courses in the chase. Although they will settle for smaller objects, they lust for the excitement of bigger prey like antelope.

BROWN - Brown bugaboos have one "trigger" color that sends them into a rage to destroy it, possibly an evolution to assist hunting. We have different theories as to why that is. One is that they are color blind to every color besides that one. Another is that they see everything as a shade of that color, and the authentic ones are startlingly bright.

PURPLE - Purple bugaboos can fly, manipulating their skin like a sped-up jellyfish motion. They live in squads of approximately 10, and their behavioral habits seem similar to yellow bugaboos, yet their mind set has been shown to resemble green. 

RED - You need a license to own this bugaboo. Actually, you should probably need certification for every type, but you need a specific license for red bugaboos. They are sly and cruel and can hold a grudge for as long as they live. Homes must be secured with mirrors, security cameras, and motion sensors to ensure modest safety. There is no guarantee, however - red bugaboos learn from their experiences - especially the negative ones.

BLUE - Blue bugaboos are strictly restricted to military personnel ONLY. They are cunning, evil, violent, and large. BEWARE THE WRATH OF THE BLUE BUGABOO!!!!

Bugaboos have extremely keen eyesight. Their alphabet is a sequence of Os with the slightest differences of width at various places. The only noticeable difference between genders is that the female is an atom longer. Bugaboos' language is a burbling, ooo sound.

WARNING: They are extremely adorable. They sing. Do not fall for it!

And then, we have footage of a blue bugaboo from 2010.....

Woo! So.... Alex, I know you're the bugaboo, so if you've got any arguments, let me know.

And I guess that's all!

The Era of the Squid

Okay, so as you all know, we have revived the four houses of Inman.
Cheetador.
Wolfador.
Foxador.
Squidador.
A certain person was causing a ruckus involving being placed in Squidador. ("I'm not HAPPY! Do I look HAPPY? The sorting squid should take opinions into account. I AM NOT A SQUIDADOR! AAAAAGHI'MGOINGTOMURDERYOU!!!!")
I would like to not that phrases such as "I'm going to murder you." as well as the actions they describe are not permitted at Inman. Such actions indicate that one is turning to the DARK SIDE and will be transferred. To an EVIL school with EVIL squids.
Anyways, Alex formulated some Inman lore and provided it to me.
I've finally gotten around to posting it. Any spelling/grammar errors are Alex's fault. If you see any (which I doubt) comment and I'll fix it.
Also, any arguments relating to the actual content of the lore can be commented and taken up with Alex and other people involved. Here goes:

The history of how the middle school Inman started was lost long ago, its contexts burned after President Cornelius Blanc was overthrown in the United Republic of Nations, Cornelius’s attempt to unite countries long ago, removed from timelines.

                  A new city had sprung up in what is now called Georgia, called New Tristram (a.k.a. Atlanta). Four powerful tycoons had met together and decided to create a school for the town. Their names: Pippa Bigfoot, who owns a company that hosts track competitions; Lana Fisher, who owned a company that caught seafood, and the two brothers: Wolfram and Samuel Inman, who both ran an agency for the government.

                  It was decided that each founder would teach certain kids. “I will teach the most athletic, the most willing,” said Pippa.

                  “I will teach those who admire learning, a greed for knowledge, and have a knack for the fine arts,” replied Samuel. He had thought of this ahead of time; he named his house Foxador, who’s mascot was a fox.

                  “I will teach those that are the most resourceful, the most sly, the ones who can always a loophole in things,” said Wolfram.

                  “And I will teach those who are the most easygoing and loyal!” Lana said happily.

                  So it was for the founders of the school. Together they have built the school, yet the houses names and their mascots had not been agreed on yet.

                  However, conflict arose. The founders fought over who would rule the school. The conflict came to a cold, dead end when Wolfram had killed his brother, Samuel, and left the school, leaving only his son, Darim Inman, behind.

                   Sadness swept over the last two founders, even naming the school after Samuel Inman after his death. With Darim with them as a painful memory, Pippa and Lana decided to kill the young boy, throwing him in a den of wild wolves. Yet however, Darim had survived, having resentment towards the people that had tried to kill him. With this he named his house Wolfador, in honor of his father and the wolves that had almost killed him, and the mascot a wolf (obviously).

                  Pippa had advanced too by naming her house Cheetahdor (mascot the cheetah). Lana hadn’t been left behind; with her love of seafood, she named her house Squidador (mascot a squid). And to honor the memory of Samuel even more, they included his house of Foxador with Inman (after all, he WAS one of the founders).

                  In the beginning, when the school opened, each of the founders claimed students to be in their houses. But as they aged, with Death coming closer by their side, Lana Fisher of Squidador had given up her prized squid, granted with immortality, later dubbed the Sorting Squid, to take over the process of putting kids in their houses.

                  The history of Inman Middle was dark and dreary. After each of the founders have died, Pippa being first, then Lana, with Darim being last to die, the school grew darker. Rivalries with the other houses grew harsher. This is the ground where all the urban legends were true, where kids from Wolfador and Foxador massacred each other, with gangs from houses terrorizing classrooms day to day.                   When Cornelius was overthrown, when the United States of America were created, Inman Middle School took a turn for a change. Kids stayed at home instead of sleeping in their dorms, which were torn down. A new school system, named Atlanta Public Schools, had stripped Inman Middle to pieces, even going to the point when they removed the houses. Just like the Inman Middle school you see today.

                  But the roots of Inman are still there. After you’re taken to homeroom for your first day of middle school, teachers lead you to a secret room- hall, to be more accurate- where hundreds of other kids in grade 6 are seated. At the very front of the hall is the Sorting Squid.

                  When you get sorted into your house, you sit at the table with your other fellow housemates. After that, you’re taken back to your homeroom to start a normal day (like they always say it). Teachers are in houses too: some are even heads of houses (exception is Squidador; the head will always be the Sorting Squid).

                     Of course you won’t see it at first. Those weird glances rival house members will give you are only just the beginning; if you dare peek around the school, you’ll see it. And all those fears will wash over you like a flood. I suggest you don’t, but if you want to find answers, you’ll to explore. And that’s when you’ll start having second thoughts about this school. 

So yeah.

More posts hopefully coming soon! I have a 'DOOM' video planned out. Emma's animation will probably get dealt with. I'll have a bunch of timeless posts if I can make them.

These probably won't happen till the weekend, though. Don't hate!

I try......

~Julia

P.S. Yeah, I feel guilty about the delay. Bat Mitzvah load. Sorry guys. But again, redemption hopefully coming soon!

Happy Year of Doom

It's 2012
in less than 8 hours!
Isn't that exciting?
What I love about the 21st century, is that this is when Ray Bradbury and all that start setting up their sci fi!
As in we're in a year SO BIONICALLY AWESOME that writers can barely COMPREHEND what awesome technology might be ruling our universe!
Okay, disclaimer. As far as I know, no Sci Fi was actually that far out set in 2012. As in flying ships and intergalactic travel and whatever. Teleportation.
There is a bunch of sci-fi written about 2012-end-of-world whatever. Movies. Etc.
But that's currently besides my point.
Think with me. Think what ALL THOSE people thought this year would be like. 2010's. A century ago. Think of how bizarre the sci-fi writers must have pictured our world ten years from now. Think of what the world might actually be like. I mean seriously. Voice command, artificial intelligence, automatic EVERYTHING. But all those kids in our day who picture the 3000s and wish they were there? I'm sure people dreamed of the stuff they wished they could do in the future in the 1950's. AND WE CAN.
Perhaps I'm not portraying this in the best way.
But when you really think about it.... doesn't it make you feel so AWESOME? Haha George Washington. You may tell the truth. But can you ask a small metal box to give you directions to a desired location? And then have it answer back? AND DRIVE THERE IN ANOTHER METAL BOX IN LIKE THREE SECONDS?
I feel so smug.
So let's all join together in a moment of universal smugness at those a century ago.
HA
HA
HA
[Yeah, I am aware that these same magical little boxes are leaching the Earth of resources, causing 4 species to go extinct every hour, and screwing the global thermostat. I know. I know. It's new years. DON'T POP MY BUBBLE.
Trust me, I am aware. I'm just trying to enjoy my last hours of 2011.]
In this post, for my 2012 New Year Fest, I want to focus on three main points.
1) Technology
2) The Apocalypse
3) The Old Year

NUMBER 1: TECHNOLOGY
Just for kicks I have some homemade pics of cool technology, which I invite you all to guess at what year we might be witness to these scientific feats, if at all.

 Mind-reading software.... decoding brain frequencies or whatever. Any takers?

 Teleportation! Which, I BELIEVE is already being experimented on with atoms, using spooky action at a distance - using the mysterious connection between atoms to transfer one's....data or whatever to another, disintegrating to original. But objects? Humans? Huh?

 Floating hover cars and all that. In the neon bubble realm of your wildest dreams. I bet this could happen in less than ten years, definitely, if scientists put their minds to it. You could instal a magnetic grid underground.... And do all sorts of related stuff in the same blast.

 Movies that are ACTUALLY 3-D.... in books. .... No real theories on this one.

Cloning! Yeah, cloning is already possible. People do it all the time with sheep and stuff. I hope you all already know that. But I'm talking about BLAM insta-copy. Not going through the whole identical - baby stage. Although I don't think that's been done with humans... (there is sci-fi though... there's always sci-fi). The thing is, that's the current solution to teleportation. You copy all the atoms to exact copies of the original. Exactly the same. Thing is, the original is then INCINERATED. Plus their brains would be the same. Same memories, same instincts.... So perhaps that doesn't qualify as a clone. What do you think?

And I won't get into time travel... yet. There's just too much to say, and I'll save that for a future post.
Now, let us consider the sidewalks. In various ideas of sci-fi novels in future settings, I've considered the idea of voice activated sidewalks.
So there are like, moving sidewalks.
COMBINED WITH VENDING MACHINES
AND COMPUTERS
They're voice activated.
Programed to your voice (if you have a SideSlide account).
You can ask the sidewalk for a map. Or directions. Or a dictionary.
You can ask it for food. You say "Cherry Coke". Your voice command causes a bottle to be moved mechanically from a storage area underground. It then pops out of the ground at one of the holes nearest to you.
Do I actually find this idea that awesome? Well, the map idea is neat. But no, not really.
What I find cool about this idea is that it could probably actually HAPPEN in the near future. With the technology available now? No prob.

NUMBER TWO: APOCALYPSE
Aaaaaah.
2012.
Oh no.
Aaaaaaah.
So, as I'm sure all of you know, 2012 was predicted by the Mayans to be the end of the world!
Not in January, guys. Next December. The 21st.
So I was thinking about this. Then I was like "Well HOW is the world going to end?"
I have some theories, but I want outside input.
Once I have some COMMENTS pertaining to the end of the world, I'll make a little doom post.
In the mean time, gear up!
Consider using items from the following list:
-goggles
-inflatable rafts
-umbrella
-fire extinguisher
-motorcycle helmet
-spray bottle
-ACID
-parachute
-sacrificial knife (you never know)
-sledge hammer
-pillows
-trampoline
-eggs
-inhaler
-radio
-signal beacon

I recommend the acid. Seriously. PRIORITIZE.

NUMBER THREE: THE OLD YEAR
So.
Big whoop.
NEW YEAR.
But 365 days (and 6 hours) from now, we're gonna be tossing 2012 in the bin right after 2011 saying "Wow, that sure went fast."
I considered making a little cartoon for 2011's benefit, but that exceeded my allotted frame limit.
Instead, let's just all make sure that 2011 has a nice last flare.
FIREWORKS PEOPLE!
2011, this is for you:
"Hey. I know it's rough being kicked out by year of the dragon. But don't take it too hard. We've all been there. And yeah, we're celebrating your demise. That's harsh. But you can make it 2011. You've given me Spain. I'm giving you hope. GO 2011!!!!"
And then, here's a little song I wrote. I want to put it up, but it's up to YOU to decide how:
a) soundtrack for cartoon
b) music video
c) with pictures
d) just write the lyrics
and I'll do the best I can with the majority vote.

Alright, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I'll find ways to spiff up this post as soon as possible...

P.S. I am stockpiling "timeless" posts right now, in case I'm too busy to post at a later date. Things that don't really pertain to any one day? If you feel things are going slowly and you want one, ring a bell!

Festival of Lights Interrupted by Imperial Agent

And the holiday comes to an end!
I hope everyone enjoyed there respective holidays. What did everyone get?
COMMENT.
(Also, what was X-mas like in Asia, Alex?)
Anyways, total stock of presents comes to a close.
Thank you to everyone for the books and other stuff! Especially the ear muffs, Benj. Love the ear muffs.
I got a yad yesterday! Yads are Jewish tools. Yad means hand in hebrew, and we use them to keep our place while chanting torah. This one was hand painted in Israel with blue swirls and birds. Yads have little metal hands on the end. Mine came with a beautiful stand. Yay! On the topic of Hebrew-related presents, I also got a CAT MITZVAH shirt.
That's funny because it's like Bat Mitzvah, but with cats, and I'm volunteering with cats for my Bat Mitzvah! It has a cat wearing a tallis, a kippot, and holding a yad in front of the torah. I found this hilarious.
Plus tonight I got a beaded kippot. Kippot are those little hat things we wear on our heads.
And then tonight I got like TEN CDs!!!! YAAY! There was Dvorak and Tchaikovsky and Suk! And Smetana! Hooray!
I dedicated each of my candles to someone. They got all globby and melty and I felt a little bad.
ANYWAYS.
It's time for....
WEIRD DREAM!!!!!
Last night I had a really weird dream. Not especially weirder than the norm, but still. So we were in a lunch-room. For lunch. By "us" I mean me, Clarissa, Emma, Alex, and a ton of other kids. And I was at the front of the line, but then I had to go up this slide (like a water slide with a raft that was being moved up and down) to put a pipe in place that would give me spaghetti. I was pleased that I was ahead of you guys (sorry) and didn't want to loose my head start, so I started pushing the raft up the slide.
Apparently there was a problem, though, because this other part of the pipe-works on the slide needed a part or it would short circuit and everything would blow up. A bunch of kids were protesting and stuff, but the teachers wanted to wait for this repair trolley to come from Africa so they could use their express Africa-trolley coupons for better deals. I was freaking out on the raft, not knowing what to do. Luckily, Kaitlyn grabbed a pipe part from Alex and dashed up the slide to put it in place.
Thank you, Kaitlyn! By then we had all forgotten about lunch, and school was over anyways, so we were all leaving. I was driving Clarissa home in a taxi-thing (Alex, you were sitting in the trunk playing on a DS) except all these "guilt-ghosts" kept popping up. Guilt ghosts were weird cars that would veer strait towards our car and then disappear at the last second, making us spontaneously confess our sins.
We learned to deal with these (by ignoring them) except then a bunch of guilt ghosts became all solid, cornered the car on that intersection with Amsterdam and North Highland, and tried to kidnap us. We all ran.
I was caught first. By these goons with sun flower masks. They put me in a back seat of another EVIL taxi. I decided to pretend to be all dead to impress you guys when you got kidnapped. That got uncomfortable, so I was pretty glad when you showed up, Clarissa, and I could get on with the act.
We had been kidnapped by Jezrek (who, in case you don't remember, is Dad's other SWTOR character - the EVIL one). For a while we fooled around in the back, except then Jezrek turned around and was all-
"You girls should sober up and resign to the Christmas spirit" or something like that. Implying that I celebrated Christmas! Of course Clarissa started cracking up.
I decided to start dropping hints.

Me: Are we almost there yet?
Jezrek: No.
Me: Well, I'm kind of concerned. Because it's like 9:00, and I'm missing the last. Night. Of. CHANUKAH. Because you kidnapped me in your smelly taxi.
Jezrek: *grunt*
Me: Do my parents even know about this?
Jezrek: Yeah.
Clarissa: What about MINE?
Jezrek: No.
Clarissa:....
Me: Did mine AGREE to this? Since, you know, it's CHANUKAH and all.
Jezrek: Yes.
Me: ....

Anyways, he dropped us off in this yard with a swing set. Then this bulldog with piranha teeth came and started trying to maul me. I screeched and started running. The woman who owned the swing set was all:

Her: Oh, don't worry.
Me: What?
Her: Just let it calm down.
Dog: GRAAAAAAUGH!!!
Me: And then it won't *pant* bite me?
Her: Oh, it will. But you better let it now.
Dog: GRAUGH!!!!
Me: Why?!
Her: Because it will hurt much more once you're on the swing!

Luckily I woke up right around then.
Thanks a lot, Jezrek.
Sorry this post was so random, I hope it occupied you all the same.
See you! :)

Everything Shall be Made Clear...

Okay, so everyone was confused about that whole "Riava" thing.
And yes, Clarissa, it is a computer game.
You would not find results for Riava on any search, however, because she is our personalized character.
So. What computer game is this?
um...
Star Wars.
...
So, I am not a huge Star Wars fan.
Why am I playing a Star Wars computer game and making a deal about it on my blog?
First of all, the game is awesome and funny and entertaining. But how was I even EXPOSED to it?
Let's skip back to Thanksgiving weekend.
Did we get this game around thanksgiving?
No. We got it Wednesday. It came out Tuesday. So how could it possibly be connected to Thanksgiving?
Because that is when we first played it.
???
That's right.
We were part of the BETA TESTING. Ooooh.
Dad told me that he had been selected to participate in the beta. Which I though would be extremely cool for any computer game, even if it wasn't my type of game.
But I did like the game so everything was fine.
Then they shut the whole thing down at midnight on monday. :(
And then Dad bought it for Chanukah and everything was fine, even though we lost Riava and all her accomplishments.
(For whatever reason, we got to keep Dad's imperial agent "Jezrek". Wahoo. Unfair.)
Anyways, we made a new Riava nearly identical to the old one and I took pictures of her and posted them and waited for you guys to get confused.
So, now it's time for:
ABOUT THE GAME!!!!
What is this Star Wars game all about?
Well, it's called Star Wars; the Old Republic (or SWTOP). It's based off of an older star wars game, Knights of the Old Republic, which occurred about 300 years before this one on a Star Wars timeline. Both games are about 1000 years before the movies, or something like that.


The set up: so this game is actually like a server. One of those games like World of War Craft or something like that. The graphics are really advanced. So are the scenes. Most of the time you're walking around on a planet (there are different servers you can use with different story lines) and you can see the other characters walking around too. With their names. There's a little chat box you can open in the corner, but we keep it closed unless thanking someone for saving or helping us.


The characters: There are some main characters who persist throughout the plot. Evil guys, like Darth Malgus, who work for the Sith Empire. Or good guys, who work for the republic and support the Jedi. There are different species. Like those things with scaly skin and little tails coming out of their heads? That's a horrible description. I'll try to find a picture. Anyways. Teachers are a bunch of different species. So yeah. There are a bunch of extras, who don't say or do anything except meditate and add to the environment or whatever. The voice acting is spectacular.


Us: As Jedi, we get to design our characters. There are about 5 species. And then you could be a Jedi Knight, a Jedi Consular, and two other thingies. We chose to be female. Then you get to design yourself. Different body shapes, tons of different face shapes, hair styles, skin tones, eyes, that stuff. You start out on level one, than progress with experience. Old Riava reached level 12. We're on level 9 right now. Again, great voice acting. For good decisions you get Light Side points, bad decisions get Dark Side points. We don't have any Dark Side. Yet. So you can work for the empire or the republic. Jezrek is evil, and can thus be impudent and betray people and get dark points.


Conversation: When conversing, you normally have three options. For example, upon meeting a giant iguana ally named Qyzen, are choices were basically:
1) Nice to meet you.
2) It is a great honor.
3) AAAAGH YOU'RE A FREAKY GIANT LIZARD!
There is normally one quite insensitive (and yet hilarious) response. But those get us Dark Points and we're to scared to choose them.


Battle: Okay, so I know some of you are kind of fazed by the "Star Wars Computer lingo" or whatever. I'm sorry. You are under no obligation to read all of it, although some of it is interesting. But if you have skipped over it, here are some powers we have as Jedi Consular that I've illustrated. I find them pretty cool. What's your favorite?
[Note: Picture mechanism temporarily out of order. I'll just describe them.]
-We can do slashes with out light saber (which we only just made)
-We can pelt the enemy with small rocks
-We can lift huge hunks of metal and rock or whatever from the ground and hurl it
-We can lift our enemies into the air
-We can stun them
-We can daze them
-Best of all, we can jump and create this huge force wave to wipe them out
Yay.

Plot: I'm not really going to tell you much about the plot. We have a main objective and storyline, but we can also accept other quests from people along the way to get credits. Credits help us advance a level. We get more training with every level.

Chat box: There's a little toggle chat box in the corner that we keep minimized, but every time someone helps us or we help them, we send a little "thanks" or whatever. Ty. You know.

And finally, here's a little trailer thing to give you a vague idea of the story line. It's slightly violent. No, it is violent. But it's also kind of cool. The awesome girl is Sitia. She's awesome.

Okay, hope all that stuff didn't go right over your head.
Bye!

New Computer

Yay!
I have a new computer now!
It's a Mac Mini or something. Yay!
The benefits of this new computer:
- iMovie
- Finale
- Photobooth
- A bunch of games
- Bigger Monitor
- Faster
Plus it looks cool. I was feeling happy about that, so I just decided to make a post. I know it's random. I would spruce it up with a bunch of pictures, but Bamboo is currently not working on this computer.
:(
Anyways, when I was sweeping up my computer (which had scary gigabytes) to be transferred, I found a bunch of old videos on crappy iMovie! I watched them. Then crushed them into QuickTime files to be transferred. It was cool.
This computer is so much faster. It's satisfying.
ALSO...
I went to Furkids today!
Furkids is a no-kill cat shelter with adoption centers. I volunteer at a center at PetSmart every other Saturday, and then help out at the main shelter once a month.
I clean litter boxes and sweep and mop and stuff. There are no cages, just rooms with a bunch of structures and beds and things. I brought my camera, to make a video for you guys, but the good camera was out of batteries, so I had to take the less than good camera, which had tiny memory.
Although I do have some footage, I just decided to wait until next time.
Sorry!
But, I will show you a little video of me rambling, just to give you an idea.....

As soon as this finishes loading I'll post!
See you!
~Julia

UPDATE: My new computer has this updated version of skype. It's weird. Like, all my friends have it, but I liked the old one better....
I'm still getting used to it. This one is a lot more complicated. Skype me so I can try it out!
