A Survey I made ^^

Hi everyone! I have created a survey/questionnaire for The Lives of Swirly and Speed! I'm looking for ways to make TLOSAS a better blog, so if you could take a minute or two to fill this out, it would be appreciated very much. :)

This is the link:

Sigh... (Rubber ducks and more)

Sigh. :( If you've read the post underneath this, you would be as crushed as I am. I hope you come back soon, •SG•! We'll miss you!

Even though she's leaving for a bit, the show must go on..... I'll be posting more often (hopefully!) to spice things up a bit more.

Today, I am showing you people some cute pictures of rubber duckies! :) You must be aware of the awesomeness they have brought to this Earth!

Aren't they awesome?! I found then on my iPod, then saved them and uploaded them to here. :3

A Breath of Fresh Air

Some of you profile-hoppers may have already noticed this, but to those of you who haven't, well, here it is: I have deleted My Point of View.

I'm sorry, guys, I truly am, but it's just so hard to read a comment filled out on my form that reads 'you can be mean'. 'Some pictures are just dreadful'. 'You're rude'. 'You're dull'. 'That's boring'.

I'm not blaming anyone here. If you're one of the people who wrote that, I have nothing against you, I swear. That's your honest opinion, and everyone is entitled to their own thoughts and feelings. That's okay.

But what I am going to do is just take a little break from Blogger. Start up a new photography blog afterwards, maybe. But I have so many other things to do instead. Practise for my midterm exams. Write my novel. Celebrate along with my little brother at his fifth birthday tomorrow. I have a real life, as does everyone with a Blogger account.

So I guess what this leads up to is my very first "goodbye". I love all my Blogger friends, and I won't be gone any longer than a month. Hopefully less. So, well, goodbye.

Good luck.

I'll miss you.

P.S. If you care to stay in contact, why don't you shoot me an e-mail?

random musings on a friday afternoon

Friday.

The fifth and final day of the school week.

The day you rush home, flop down onto your sofa, and sigh, "It's finally Friday".

After a long, hard week of tests, test revision, and eight homework assignments, there is nothing more I'm looking forward to than the weekend. Anyone else lovin' Fridays at the mo?

As I type, I'm gazing at a wintery gray-and-yellow streaked sunset framing the skeletal silhouettes of a pair of weathered oak trees. A couple of crows are nestled among their boughs, and I can just make out the tangle of a bird's nest tucked up next to the trunk. It is, as is common in south-west Britain, overcast.

But beautiful nevertheless.

As is typical during winter, it's cold. And dark. And wet. But, my friends, not with snow. No, no, no, Mother Nature does not allow any snow to fall around where I live. Instead, it rains.

And rains.

And rains some more.

My First Animated GIFs

Yay! I, too, have learned the art of animated GIFs.

They aren't as good as Speed's, but I tried. :)

cleanse.

Cleanse.

My one little word for 2011.

I will cleanse my body, heart and soul.

I will cleanse my slate and start afresh.

A synonym of cleanse is purify.

I will make sure I am cleansed this 2011.
