Day Two, and other stuff

Hey there :D

Soooooooooo. Today Imma try something new and exciting! I'm going to try to fit both my thirty day challenge and some kinda neat stuff into my blog today. I've always wanted to make one of these... Thingies... So my dreams are finally coming true :'D Onwards!

~Thirty Day Challenge~

Day Two: The meaning behind your Facebook status.

"it's official. I have ten friends on Facebook. *dies*"

Uhm.... My status is pretty straightforward. My parents will only let me add one friend (that isn't a relative or High School Club-thing) on Facebook... So this was my sarcastic reply. Or is it sarcastic..? I dunno. I'm bad with this stuff.... D: Meh.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now onto the other neat stuff! This is going to be my dump for all the things that Sabrina Harvey (that's me :P) finds somewhat interesting that she hopes you will find interesting as well. Ta-daaaa!

-Ever wonder why doctors call their profession "practice?"

-November 29 is "Sinkie Day." That's tomorrow~! X)

-A "sinkie" is "anyone who grabs a food item and then eats it over the sink." Isn't that cool? We have a name for people like this!

-Apparently Facebook plays a key part in 1 out of every 4 divorces. Huh.

-AMERICANS DON'T HAVE ALLEN'S APPLE JUICE! HOW DO THEY LIVE?! (haha, I don't like apple juice, though. It has a nasty after-taste.)

-A single lemon contains more sugar than a handful of strawberries.

-My friends used to think I had a piece of metal stuck in my brain so that I could pick up radio signals and spout out random facts.

-4 cups of Bak Choy or whatever has the same amount of Calcium as a cup of Milk.

-Antibiotics in milk is prohibited in Canada.

-Campbell's Alphabet soup only comes in the Roman alphabet.

-"...After doing a wide survey, we have concluded that these are the worst girl's names: Bimberly, Brunhilda, Chinchilla, Crayola... Hortense, Latrina, Michelina... Pepsi, Prunella, Rotunda, Salmonalla, Tamale, Velveeta, Yeti, Zona." Yeah, no kidding.

-"Hi! I'm guessing you're from Tennessee, because you're the only 'ten' I see! I know you're good at science. Are you going to be a female astronaut? Because you are really out of this world! If I could rewrite the alphabet, I would put U and I together! What do you say?"
How about no?

-Score bars are delicious.

-I seriously think I might have ADHD. :/

Aaaaand that's all for now, folks! Have an awesome Sinkie day! :)

-Sabre

Thirty Day Challenge

Hey there :D

So. I've officially decided to take a thirty-day challenge thingy. Was I tagged? Nope. Do I even care? Nope. Oh, the things that happen when you're bored... XD Well, it sounds fun, too, I guess. But I'm not gonna do it for thirty days straight, Imma do it on thirty random days that are (hopefully) close together. If this was supposed to have any tags attached, I tag everybody who is reading this that has a blog (and if you don`t have a blog, go get one. please.). Anywhoo,, here goes day one!

A recent picture of you and fifteen interesting facts about yourself

Kay, there's the recent picture of me <--

I'm Sabrina, and I was born on April 15. My favourite number is seven, my fave colour is pink, my fave candy is Bridge Mixture (which is just an assortment of chocolate-covered nuts, caramels and creams) and my favourite food (that ISN`T a dessert-type food) is scalloped potatoes :P

Art is my passion and my favourite medium is digital art (cuz it doesn`t make a mess, lawls :P).

I have really dark brown eyes, brown hair with deep bronze highlights, and I`m only about 5`4. I`m half filipino, but I was born in, and still live in, Canada. I play the recorder, the piano, the kazoo (lawls) and I love to sing, though I`m not very good at it X).

My all-time favourite flower is the Forget-Me-Not, and my favourite book is The City of Dreaming Books by Walter Moers. Awesome book, you might wanna check it out some day! Also, I spend wayyy too much time on dA (deviantart.com) and my username on there is MarshmallowFluffies. (all one word)

Oops, that`s prolly way more than fifteen XD Oh well. It`s not like anyone`s counting... Right? *Stares at Chiaki and Flavia*

Hahaa, just kidding, just kidding :)

Pie, Commisions and Mormonism

Hey there :D

Today the entire world experienced a bizarre phenomenon called a "good Monday." Well, my world, anyways. :) How was your monday? I hope it was awesome, too.
I think the reason why my Monday was actually good is because of these reasons:
-I finally discovered the name of this one song that I really like but I didn't know the name of XD It's 'Blackout' by Breathe Carolina... You can barely understand what they're saying because it's so autotuned and stuff, but I swear the chorus was "I'm only getting sorted" instead of "I'm only getting started." Listen to the song! You can't hear him say the t at the beginning of the word! X(
-I was listening to 'When Did Your Heart Go Missing' by Rooney while I was waiting for the bus
-Kai (lawls, cant think of any other name for him), Israel* and Jane* were actually on the bus today! Totally made my day!
-I was not harassed for forgetting my overdue art homework. Uhm. That shouldn't be a high point.
-I saw Richie* like five times today! :D :D :D Sorry, Chi... But he's just. SO. Cute.
-Finally found out who my model for the fashion show was...
And other stuff. Anywhoo~

At DeviantArt (http://www.deviantart.com) I'm getting quite a few commisons, and I'm really happy! The only problem is that I'm getting kind of behind with it. For those who don't know, a commision is basically a "paid mission." So an art commision would be someone paying somebody else to draw them something. Apparently you can do this on Kijiji... Idk. It'd be pretty cool if you could. If you know, please comment below!

I know this is wayyyy off topic, but I don't get it. I told my friends that I was a Mormon (a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, commonly called Mormons for short) and they took a flip. They were all like "omigosh, you're a mormon?! They're evil and they brainwash you and and and..." You know what? I honestly don't care. What I think is funny is how Muslims (I think..? Can't remember the name) are able to not eat the meat of any hooved animal and nobody complains. Muslims are Muslims, that's what they beleive in and there is no question about it. But Mormons can't have caffeine or any other addictive substances and some (but not everybody) people freak out. Here's an amazing quote from a Mormon (Foxycheese202) on DeviantArt:

"What does a Christian belief in general do for a person? Hmm. No sex before mairrage. (No chance of AIDS.) No drinking (You don't do stupid crap.) No smoking (stay healthy.)... Don't show too much skin (people look down on you... People shouldn't, but they do.)"

Yeah, so these are some of the foundations on which an "evil cult" is built. I hate it when people call my religion evil! You can have your religion, I can have mine, but don't call my beleifs and lifestyle evil. You know? In fact, to support my point, the Church has created 13 Articles of Faith, which is basically just an outline of what we beleive in. The one that supports my argument is the eleventh one:

"We claim the privelege of worshipping the Almighty God according to the own dictates of our consience, and allow all men the same privelege, let them worhip how, where or what they
may." (http://lds.org/library/display/0,4945,106-1-2-1,FF.html)

That basically means that we claim the right to worhip our God if we see fit, and let everybody else beleive whatever they want where ever they want as well. Caspice?

And, I know that this is turning into an endless rant on a touchy subject, but I really have to get this out of my system.

I'm also really put off by how people think that Joseph Smith lied. If Joseph lied, he would not have willing put up with all of that pressure just for a lie. He was tortured, tarred, feathered, shot and imprisoned for his beleifs, so I'm pretty sure that it wasn't a lie. If you were a liar who just wanted attention, you sure as heck wouldn't put up with all of that! And it's not just Joseph who went through extreme persecutement for his beleifs: it was many other pioneers who had their families killed, tortured and shunned. While Mormons today don't go through the same kind of persecutement, we are still... Uhm... Bullied. (Sorry, can't find the right word X)

All righty, then! I think I'm done ranting. Hope I didn't bore you too much with my religion talk! I also apologize that it's not overly reverent, I'm definitely not the best example of a 'good Mormon,' but I do try very hard to keep my standards high.

Sleep, Anger Management and Quotes

Hey there :D

It's Daylight savings tiiiiimeee! Ah! I'm so excited :3 An extra hour of sleep? Really? My whole view of winter has just improved. But I guess after a while you get used to it, and you can't tell the difference, but WHATEVER! I can still enjoy it.
Have you finished your Hallowe'en candy yet? Some of my friends finished all their candy on Hallowe'en (yeah man, they rock dat metabolism), but I'm pretty sure the average person can't eat THAT much candy. I forced myself to finish it all today so I won't be tempted for the rest of the week, but I don't think that that was the best idea. Why? Because I am currently experiencing WITHDRAWL symptoms. JGSDIULYERLIU DNJUHYERK,ISEPDEKJOFHUJGTFVJ. <--- me randomly slapping the keyboard with an angry face.
That probably wasn't very good for my laptop. It was kind of expensive and I'm pretty sure my parents would'nt buy me a new one just because I was angry at this one.
Anywhoo~
Yesterday, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Season 2 Episode 5: Sisterhooves Social came out! BWAHHHHHH! I was sooooooo happy. ^-^ And it was all about my favourite pony, Rarity! But it also had one of my least favourite fillies, Sweetie Belle. The Cutie Mark Crusaders tick me off D:< I don't know why. I also don't know why Rarity is my favourite. My friends say that I'm just like her (or she's just like me, whatever) but I don't really see it. They say it's just because we're both so prissy and concerned with looking good D:< But we're also both artistic, so I guess it all works out. I think I've changed, though! I don't make a big deal about my mascara or whatever anymore.
I'm also super obsessed with the Phantom of the Opera right now! I'm actually listening to it as I write this X) My fave song from the musical is prolly either All I Ask of You or The Phantom of the Opera. I sing them as I paint in class XD Anjie would know, she sits right beside me. And I also sing it when I'm by myself. I'll be doing homework when no-one's home, and then I'll just burst out "SAY YOU'LL LOVE ME EVERY WAKING MOMENT, TURN MY HEAD WITH TALK OF SUMMERTIME!!!!!!!!" or something. I think if I wasn't me, it would be pretty funny to watch.
I used to like Annie, and sing Ms. Hannigan's songs (especially Little Girls) because I could sing it really loudly. And because Ms. Hannigan is the freaking BEST CHARACTER in the entire musical.
Here's the song of hers that I adore: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDkEXszYtdo&feature=related
She's just so funneh! One of her best lines is this:
Ms. H-- "oh, and good news. Today we're not having hot mush."
Kids--"Yay!"
Ms. H--*blows whistle* "Today... We're having COLD mush."
Tee hee! She's great.
Oh! Oh! Hey! I just realized! There's only like seven weeks until Christmas! XD Sooooo pumped. Not sure what I want, though. Meh.
I'm finished with exciting things, so here's some of my favourite quotes! *Randommm*

"Don't trust him. He would sell his own mother for a grape!"
"You making an offer? I mean, no I would not!"

"Fat? He's got more pounds than the London mint!"

"You laugh, I laugh. You cry, I cry. You jump off a bridge, I'm gonna miss your e-mails.

"Attention everybody! We have an announcement! Facebook, YouTube and Twitter are merging to become one giant site called... YouTwitFace!"

"I am free of all prejudices. I hate everybody equally."

"I made you a pie!"
"Oh! What flavour?"
"PIE FLAVOUR."
*epic guitar solo*

"Fat? When she gets upset, they call it "mass hysteria."

Student+Dying=Studying

"You know you're too fat when the floors buckle but your belts won't."

Ohh noooo! We have to stick a blonde joke somewhere on this blog! Sorry to all you blondes out there!

A blonde was withdrawing money from an ATM machine.
The blonde behind her: "Ha! I saw your pin number, it's four stars!"
First Blonde: "Haha, you're wrong! It's 1566!"

Aaand I'm done. Hope you thought at least one of those were as funny as I think they are!
Until next time!

Random stuffs

Hey there :D

SO.... Today I'm not going to school! I'm so excited! It's bring-your-kid-to-work Day, and my parents can't take me, so I'm just chilling at home. Well, not exactly chilling. I'm actually finishing up every single piece of homework I have... Fun stuff! I'm actually really behind on homework, even though I do a ton every day.

If I went to school, there would really be no point, because there won't be enough students there for the teachers to give a proper lesson to. For example, in my gym class of like, 27 students, only about five kids MIGHT be able to go to school today. That wasn't even an exaggeration.

Do you know what I just noticed about myself? I write really short sentences, and I don't think they're very fun to read AT ALL. This blog is an improvement from some of my other blogs, but only because I'm conscious of it while I write it. *RANDOMMM!!!*

Changing topics again~ In art class, we're starting our summative project already, which is crazy! And we only have TWO/THREE WEEKS. You're probably like, "Oh, that's plenty of time!" But if you're in any of the arts programs, you'll know that no, it's not lots of time. AT ALL. More so for those in Lit and Dance.
For the project, we have to pick an impressionist piece (ex. Monet, Van Gogh, etc) and grid it using tracing paper. Then, on a large board or paper, we make the grid 2-3 times as big as the picture we chose. For example, for my project, I chose a Monet painting, which I gridded using 2cm squares. On my board, each square would be 4cm^2.
Then, once we've made the large grid, we use the traced painting as a guideline to landmark where the objects in the painting are. It's not meant to be exact, it's just meant to give us a rough idea of where things are in the painting. Then, we have to make a couple colour swatches (mixing our own colours -.-) that match the colours in the painting.
AND THEN WE START PAINTING~! FINALLY!
It really wouldn't be that hard if we didn't have to mix our own colours. It's difficult enough to mix colours, but then it's even harder when you have to keep on making different colours, and then it's even HARDER when you have to make large amounts.
I'm not complaining, I swear; it's just that I'm getting really stressed about it and I need to get it out of my system.

Anywhooo~ I'm really excited for the fashion show! I just handed in my design yesterday :3 It's going to be sooooooooo fun! <3 The thing I designed is a dress that is black and white with splashes of bright red cherry fabric. The theme of the show is Static//Prismatic, so I had to make it either Static or Prismatic, which is why there's minimal colour (red) in my design. Once I get my design back, I promise that I'll scan it and post it here~

Until Next Time!
