On The English Language

Hi. Today I was thinking about how weird the english language is.

Let me explain. Say you exclaim 'don't you dare' to someone, sounds pretty normal, right? But then, when you bear in mind that 'don't' is a contraction of the words 'do not' so technically, you are saying.....

DO NOT YOU DARE!

This is the same for 'can't' in some circumstances, like 'why can't you pick up the book today?' which is, of course, 'why can not you pick up the book today?'

In conclusion, the english language is weird. I forgot to thank you guys before, but thank you for 10 followers! I know it sounds small but it means a lot to me. Anyway, I hope you are having a great day.

Do you think the english language is weird? What's the weirdest word/contraction that you've come across?

The Ultimate Question Has Been Answered By Rose

Hi. I just wanted to do a quick post on why i haven't posted in nearly a month. I've needed to do my project and post ideas are turning up in my head 24/7. I'll probably have a million posts coming at once, I've got what, like, 5 post ideas as drafts. So, I'll probably post them soon. Well, I just wanted you to know what's been going on because I haven't posted in nearly a month.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! And bye for now *waves*

The Rest Of Us Just Live Here By Patrick Ness | Book Review

Title: The Rest Of Us Just Live Here
Author: Patrick Ness
Genre: Fantasy/Contemporary/Friendship/Romance
Publication: August 27 2015, Walker Books
Pages: 343, hardback
Source: Library

Side Note: The cover I had was this one, but I know that the US has a different cover, as this is the Australian and British cover.

What if you aren’t the Chosen One?

The one who’s supposed to fight the zombies, or the soul-eating ghosts, or whatever the heck this new thing is, with the blue lights and the death?

What if you’re like Mikey? Who just wants to graduate and go to prom and maybe finally work up the courage to ask Henna out before someone goes and blows up the high school. Again.

Because sometimes there are problems bigger than this week’s end of the world, and sometimes you just have to find the extraordinary in your ordinary life.
Even if your might be the God of Mountain Lions...

I really enjoyed this book, so without further ado, I bring you the pros and cons.

Pros

• I loved the narrator! Mikey was so nice, and surprisingly I never got frustrated with him. He did feel like the outside and that he was least wanted in his group of friends, but he finally got over it.
• Ness's characters were SO amazing. They were so realistic that I felt like they were real people. I especially liked Jordan.
• I loved how Ness mixed the real world with heaps of fantasy elements, though kept it real. I liked this because I have just finished Throne Of Glass so it was good to have a but of contemporary in there.
• The scenarios in the book were so well described and detailed. There were a lot of accidents in this book, and I think they were really well described.
• Can I just take a moment to talk about THE BEGINNING OF THE CHAPTERS??????!!!!!!!!! Sorry, but the beginning of the chapters told you what the indie kids were doing in each chapter, and they were being amazing and trying not to die. I can't even.....
  
  *not mine*

Cons

I don't actually have any problems with this book, but it seems like everyone else does. Now, I haven't read any other Patrick Ness books, but it seems like everyone has some problem with this book, but I honestly don't. I just don't. 

*not mine*

All in all, I'd rate this book:

*    *    *    * . 5

Organising My Bookshelf

Hi. So, last night I was bored, it was around 8.30PM and I decided to organise my bookshelf. Now, I had already organised it around a month before. But after my giant book haul and that yesterday I got a further 5 books, plus another 2 bookmarks, I needed more space to say the least. Plus, I had also divided up my TBR pile and counted that I had 24 books in the pile (I am literally drowning in them). So, I gathered my faithful companion and started unloading my bookshelf.

But sadly, Mae (my cat) disappeared after around 5 minutes. Here is the before (monstrosity) of the bookshelf:

And, that doesn't even have my 24 TBR books on there. Of course, there's also the pile of books on the ground. Finally, I had unloaded all of the books off the bookshelf and on to the ground. And boy, there was a lot of books:

That's not even all of them. Then, my mum walked in and she helped me put them into genres. I seem to have a lot of contemporary but I never read contemporary. AM I READING IN MY SLEEP? It is entirely possible of course. This is what my amazing bookshelf looked like once I had taken all the books out:

I know, fabulous.

Anway, we finally got all the books into the bookshelf and the outcome was wonderalandaful! I put it into genres so I put sticky notes telling myself where all the different genres were.

Well, I am officially done, I hope you enjoyed! I now leave you with a picture of my dog:

Birthday Events

Yay! It's my birthday!  I am officially 11 A.K.A 1+1=2.... Anyways, I just went onto Google and it knew it was my birthday. Kind of creepy if you ask me, but kind of nice. I made cupcakes for my class, with cat faces. It was also our substitute librarian, A.KA my friend's grandma's birthday. I also got to see my little cousin after school. My birthday party is on Saturday, but I'm only inviting 3 people, because my 'party' is just a picnic and a sleepover. I got some AMAZING gifts though. I even got a book about a girl named Rose and her poodle! Coincidence much? I am nearly finished Dorothy Must Die, I reckon it's one of my new favourite books, so that review is coming to you soon. W e are having takeaway Indian, we were going to go to the restaurant but I didn't want to miss one of my favourite shows, MKR (My Kitchen Rules). I a lot of people said Happy Birthday too me. My grandparents gave me some weird assortment of pig ornaments. I have had the best birthday ever and am very grateful for all my presents and day. Have a wonderlandaful day!

First World Problems

Sup guys, I know this is pretty late, but I wanted to say I won't be doing the 30 Day Blog Challenge anymore. Anyway, on with the post. Today I cleaned off the desk in my sun room. I wanted to use a desk, but for some idiotic reason, I thought I had to have one in my room. Excuse me, but I need to go swap the office chair with a stool I got as and early birthday present. Done. I went to birthday party on Monday I was so tired on Tuesday my day consisted of sitting around watching wedding and reality shows and watching YouTube. My life is so boring. Well, now I've told you about my 1st World Problems, I bid you goodbye.

Youtube takes up most of my browsing time because, duh, YOUTUBE.

4. Image searching
I love searching doctor who images, kawaii things and quotes.*goes red with embarrassment* I have a problem.

5. Check My Email
I MUST CHECK MY EMAIL!!!!! I check it SO much.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! December Goal Recap And New Year's Resolutions

Sup guys, happy 2016! In Australia it is the 1st January 2016. In this post I will be doing my New Year's Resolutions and seeing how I did on my December Goals. Without further ado, let's go!

December Goals

1. Finish my Solar System PowerPoint.We're doing these power points at school and we only have about three weeks left, so I want to finish it by the end of the school year.  Yes, I'm pretty sure I did!

2. Get a leadership role. This is not in my control, but I am hoping to get one! No, I didn't get one, and you can hear my whinging about that here.

3. Get Christmas presents for everyone. Well, hope everyone likes them! I did, and I'm pretty sure everyone likes them! :P

4. Do my guest post for Gypsy Pixie. I still haven't done this so I'm hoping to get it to her by December 16th. Yes, I did it, but I didn't get it to her by December 16th, it was more like the 20th!

New Year's Resolutions

1. Drink more iced coffee! In 2016, as I am in year 6 now, mum and dad will let me drink iced coffee!

2. Brush my hair and teeth more. I sometimes forget to do these things so I want to consistently brush my teeth for 2 minutes twice a day, and brush my hair 100 times a day.

3. Finish my Nelson Mandela project I set myself. This is more of a January goal, so I want to finish it in January.

OK, that's all, happy new year!!!!!!! But just before I go, let's take a look at how my blog has grown...

2 GFC Followers... More than I ever thought!
4 Bloglovin' Followers... Even more?!
1,460 Pageviews... WOW!
41 Comments... That's nearly 50!
51 Posts... I have posted 51 times!
Wow, my small blog has achieved a lot in what, 5 months! Thank you for commenting, following and just being positive.  I hope you all have a very happy 2016!

Classiness

Sup guys, today I'm going to be talking about classiness. Well, I'm not really talking but you know what I mean. Anyway, there is a point were things aren't classy anymore. Arriving 30 minutes late for a party is classy. Arriving an hour late is not. There isn't any of this classiness at kid's parties. no. Because we kids, and as I type this I cringe, tweens, for those of you who like to be called that, can't stand being late to a party. I mean, this might just be me, but who wants to be late for pass the parcel, for talking with friends and eating party food? No-one, in my opinion. And then there is dinner parties, and get togethers. That's when adults can be late. Because it's classy. And also because no-one wants to be desperate so it seems that they hadn't been to a party in 5 years. But then again, I could be wrong. Well, I hope you enjoyed my post and would like to give a special shout-out to my friend Squeakle Bean 36 over at Scribble And Squeak. Go comment on her posts and follow!

P.S Also, we are excitedly nearing our 50th post. Maybe, as the 50th post I'll so a Christmas Haul. But I won't brag. Oh and sorry about the weird YouTube one. I posted it a few months ago but it just turned up there.

I don't know what to call this post and can't be bothered to put caps

Sup guys, sorry I haven't posted in a while, school was finishing, I had choir practice and I had no idea what to post about. Actually, as I'm writing this, I still have no idea! I would just like to say that, as you know that I was ranting on about how I was hoping to get a leadership position, I didn't get it. I wasn't that sad when I got told that I didn't get it, but on Presentation Day (which is where we get or end of year awards), I got really sad during maths. I don't know why, I should have been happy, my best friend got school captain! I was scared every on was gonna be like:

But, it wasn't all bad. I think it was a day afterwards but my friend asked me to do sound with him next year, which is really exciting. A few days afterwards I was then chosen to do computer instead of sound, and I was like:

 The reason I'm so excited is because I'm the first girl at school to do sound or computer! By The Way: I'm not bragging in anyway. Well, I hope you enjoyed this post, Merry December!

P.S Bring Back Wilf!

November Goals Recap

Sup guys, happy December! Today I'm going to be doing my November Goals Recap! Let's get started!

November Goals 

1. Practice guitar at least 3 times a week. (probably one of the hardest goals on the list)  Nope, did not do that one!

2. Make sure our debating team wins this debate. (I am forever hoping) I'm not sure which debate this is, but the 3rd one we were half a point away!

3.  Give my speech for school captain. (I am also forever hoping, seeing as I'll never get it) I have given my speech, but something unfortunate happened when somebody stole my joke! We are going to be told who got what at presentation day in a week!

4. Dye my hair with 2 or 3 packets of pink dye (and hope it shows). I didn't do this, but I'm probably going to be doing this in the holidays.

5.Blog more often. (Easy, I guess) I'm pretty sure I did!

Well, that's all folks I hope enjoyed, I'm pretty sure I'll be posting my December Goals soon.

Heatwave!!!!

Sup guys, today, it is a heatwave. The highest temperature today was probably 45 degrees celsius! I nearly fainted at school because it was sport day today and one of our teachers wouldn't let anyone with a hat do dancing in the hall, so I had to play T-ball. Now, this is a cushion I really want.....

 Well, that's all folks, and I hope you enjoyed.

500 Blog Views!

Well, it's Looking A Bit Mitty just reached 500 blog views! I think some/most of them are mine, because it counts me viewing it, but still! Well, that was all, and I'm sorry I keep on changing my profile name, but I just can't decide. Well, that's all folks and I'll leave you with this:

P.S what do you think of my drawing? I did it on Sketchbook (which is a drawing app) so the writing's a bit messy.

When You Don't Know What To Write About

I don't know what to write about

My mind is blank from ideas

When the notebook is blank

And the page is wet with tears

I wish the words would flow from my pen

Just like they come from a fountain

But if there was a fountain in my den

The writing would be able to maintain

Story after story would appear

And I would be a scholar

But no words ring in my ear

And it feels like I'm wearing a collar

A collar of no words

A collar of no letters

Then finally the story was heard

The collar is released

And nothing else matters

......

Well, I hope you enjoyed my poem. I didn't know what to write for my blog post so I started writing a post about it and then realised it sounded a bit like a poem. I'm pretty bad at writing poems, but it was fun. Well, that's all and I hope you enjoyed :3

Halloween and Dying My Hair

Happy Halloween everyone! Today I did a pretty cool thing..... I dyed my hair! Pink! It looks red from a distance though. And no, I did not do it for Halloween. It's semi-permanent, which means it comes out after 6-8 washes. I'm going to a Halloween party tonight so that will be interesting. I'm dressing up as dead Cinderella. Well, that's all folks and I'll leave you with this:

PUMPKIN NYAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
