I worked today, taking care of kids. Made 20 bucks which goes towards my "Ontario Fund" so that I can buy things in name-brand stores. Can't wait!
Anyways, all for now!

Piercings & Cheap Stuff

Hey! Okay...so my next trip to Ontario has been booked for March 8th - 21st! I'll be there for March Break! See you then!

So...Report Card #2 is on Monday. I'm officially DONE French and I'm doing quite well in all my other subjects...so yeah!

Today, we had a "Girls' Day Out" thing and went to Vernon! SHOPPING! REAL SHOPPING! They have a Claire's there and a Bay and a Purdy's and a Starbucks...Anyways, I got my second ear piercing done at Claire's!! One's pretty sore but it's not too bad! They're just plain silvery-diamondy studs. Nothing fancy. But! They had this AWESOME deal at Claire's where you could get a mystery bag of clearance stuff for a dollar...WHOO HOO! It was sooooo cool! Darby and I got about 10 or 11 bags between us and then picked out the things we wanted. I got all the earrings (16 pairs!) since her ears aren't pierced. Anyways...Got back home and added up the original prices of all the stuff I got...$443.57 WOW!!! That's the best deal EVER! I have a necklace for Catherine that I'll bring when I come.

Anyways...that's about all for now!

Pics

Hello! Here are some pictures of me at Margaret Falls.
Picture #1: Me standing on a waterfall eating an icicle.
Picture #2: Believe it or not, underneath all those trees and snow is a river that runs from the waterfall. It actually runs under all the ice and snow!
Picture #3: Me on the path. There's a lot of trees that you have to duck under to get to the waterfall.
Picture #4: One of the few crack in the ice where you can see the water! This isn't part of the main waterfall but it's like a mini-waterfall further down the river.
Picture #5: The waterfall frozen over with ice. It was sooo cool! We don't have any pictures of it but there's this hole in the ice where we climbed up to and you could actually touch the water (not that you would though because it was so freakishly cold).
So yeah! Thos are some pics! Hee hee....

Watoto

Hellooo...
So, Saturday was really cool...we went wit hthe Saddlers to Margaret Falls and it was really amazing! The entire waterfall was frozen (it looked like that scene in Narnia), and we could climb it! We climbed up a little ways and broke off icicles and ate them. They were surprisingly good! After that, we picked up Darby and went to their place for dinner. Then, Bri, Shanan, Darby and I went to play some pool. I know how to play pool now! Darby and I played against each other and I won but not by much. We're still not that great but yeah...it was fun!
Anyways...yesterday, Carol (youth leader) took a bunch of us to the Watoto Children's Choir that were performing in Vernon. It was really cool! I wasn't expecting it to be so great! It's this African choir of little kids under the age of 12 and right now they're touring across Canada. They're originally from Uganda and they were all in poverty once but then this organization called Watoto saved them and stuff and...anyways...it's a really cool program and now we and Carol...(WE being me, Jade, Darby, Shelby and Raquel)... are going to raise money for them. It was a really cool experience! YAY.....
Anyways...today I havee to get going on school again so I'd better go.
All for now!

Heyo

I just posted to www.kristenmcneilly.com/newsongs some partially finished mixes with the new drums and percussion tracks. The mixes are part of the way there. Comments are welcome as it is definitely a work in progress.

Happy Listening!

"I'm Just A Fried Piece Of Fishin' Pole!"

Howdy!
Catherine was on the news last night! It was cool. I saw it.
My story is currently 33 pages long! It's really cool! It's called Addy & The Apple Tree. I don't even know if I've told you about it already or now but yeah...it's really cool! I'm hoping to finish it within the next month because then I can hand it in for school and stuff. I've done a whole bunch of sketches of characters and stuff too. I've also deinged a cover. I want it to be really simple so it's just an 2D apple with a bit out of it and the title written inside.
Anyways...in other news, Bri's work is having this bridge building contest where you build a bridge using this computer program and the person with the lowest cost (yet still sturdy) bridge wins! Bri and I are both entering that. First prize is $250! YAY!
Anyways...all for now!
It's time for supperrrrrrr!

Hi Folks

Hey everyone! How are you doin'?
I've been having a great Christmas Vacation! I finally got my Switchfoot package of stuff on Tuesday! It's so cool! It's got a signed postcard, their new CD, an exclusive EP, a poster, three stickers, 5 buttons and a DVD. It's so cool!
The top of my guitar case is nearly full with stickers! YAY!
Darby was at my house for like...2 days straight. We were very busy. We made um...bizarre tapes on my mini tape recorder.
So yeah, my new story "Addy & The Apple Tree" is now 27 pages long and i'm not even halfway through yet! It's really good! I've also been doing sketches of the characters and stuff. I think that if I finish it soon, I'll hand it in for homeschooling and see what Mr. Sullivan says about it. :D
Anyways, I'll post toboganning pictures soon!

Welcome To December

Happy December 1st!
24 days 'til Christmas!
YAY!!!

So yeah! There's like, six Switchfoot songs in my head off their new CD and it's driving me insane because I only know bits of them off their site. Their new CD isn't out until the 26th. Ugh.

"Oh, Gravity! Why can't we seem to keep it together?!" - Switchfoot.....

Yeah...all for today. I'll post pictures soon. Promise!

Today...

Helloooo...
So, today went well. Ron was really impressed and took like, all of our homsechool stuff to photocopy. I also played him a song ("Yourself") and he loved it. I lent him the CD of bed tracks from my new CD as well. He's going to give me a grade ten mark for music and english. I'm stepping down to Science 9 to make it easier for this year and I'm also getting some sort of mark for a computer course.
Overall...a very productive day.
Last night I transferred all my Word documents and old pictures to our new computer so...YAY...I can finally continue writing the billions of stories I've got started.
Well...yeah! That's about all I've got to say for today. I'll be posting some pictures soon of MY NEW BASS and my Bronze Medallion that came in the mail a few day ago.
Yeah! Talk to you all later!
-Kristen

P.S. - for those of you who don't know...I bought a bass on Sautrday! I'm very proud of myself. It's the first instrument I've paid for and it's really cool! It's orange with red strings (but I might change 'em to blue) and it's a Dean. It's so cool. Now all I need is a bass amp!

Today's News!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CATHERINE! Your card will come on a plane on November seventh! Hope you have a great day. Please eat lots of a cake (or chocolate). You ARE in the McNeilly family so...it's mandatory to eat lots and save lots for your step-daughter!

Have a great day!

Halloween

Well...yesterday, was a busy day. In the morning, I babysat twelve kids with Darby and got paid 20 bucks. SWEET! Then, it was the "Harvest Party" at church and I volunteered to run a booth. It kind of sucked that I got stuck on the lamest game of all though (pin the nose on the pumpkin). It was so lame. And no one came except on RUDE little girl who must've come about twelve times and took my coupons that were supposed to be for the kids who got it right on the nose. Erg. she was so rude.

Costumes: I was a hippy/flower child. Brendan and Preston were like...terrorists posing as business men or something like that and Travis was an Army Dude with a gas mask. Darby was a mouse.

Anyways...then, after the night-mare that is the party, there was a pretty sweet fireworks show that Brendan R., Preston and some guy shot off. So that was cool. Then, the youth group had an hour of crazy games! The first game was kind of lame. It was like rock paper scissors only ninja, gorilla and gun. Yeah...it was a bit boring...but then, we played this HORRIBLE game! We had to sit in a tight circle and it was like playing hot potato...only with babyfood. Everyone got their own spoon and you had to pass around three open jars of baby food and the three people that ended up with the jars had to take a spoonful. It was so gross! I got carrots and peas...TWICE! The taste isn't that bad but the texture is like...ew. it's just gross.

Anyways...then we played this game where we were given a card and it had a C, S or D on it. C=Christian, S=Saint and D=Devil. So, I got a C. Then, ALL the lights went out and you had to walk around and if someone tapped you on the shoulder (they were the devils) you had to fall over and yell "I have sinned!" and then, the lights would come back on and someone else had to guess who the devil was. But! the devil could get saved if they knew who one of the saints were (who could save the sinning people). Otherwise, they'd have to go to "the lake of fire" on the stage. But yeah...it was pretty fun. Ms. Sandy (the leader of the whole thing) made me a devil at one point and but I couldn't kill anyone because everyone was in a little group and I'd get caught if I tapped anyone. So, I was aiming for Brendan because he was the only one NOT in a group but he kept walking around really fast and if I chased him it'd be obvious...so yeah.

We also played a game where we had to stand in a line and no one knew at first but Ms. Sandy had put lipstick on a few of the kids' fingers. The, we had to turn the the person behind us and pinch their cheeks, their nose and then their chin. It was weird at first but then when we looked at some of the people, they had red on their cheeks and stuff! it was so funny! Alexa got some on her cheeks and Brendan's nose was completely covered. Jade's ENTIRE face was covered too! It was hilarious! Luckily, Darby and I were lipstick free.

We also watched some "volunteer games". The first one was hilarious! Ty, Travis, Alexa and...someone else went on stage and Ms. Sandy stuck the icing half of an oreo on their forhead and then they had to get it into their mouths without using their hands. It was hilarious! Ty and Travis made theirs fall onto the floor and then ate it. I wasn't watching the girls because they were all wimpy and afraid to get dirty. Anyways...the next game was even better! Ty and his friend Luke were one team and Janelle and another girl were on the other. Janelle and Ty got their heads seran wrapped and then covered with whipped cream! Then, the other teammates had to through popcorn at their heads and the team with the most popcorn on their head won! Ty and Luke were covering each other with whipped cream after! It was so funny! Then, there was one more game where one partner had to have a stocking over their head and the other person was blindfolded. It was like a criminal-ish thing where the blindfolded person had to help the stocking-headed person to eat as much jello as they could through the stocking. It didn't work all that well though because the blindfolded people had no idea what to do...but it was funny to watch!

Then, Brendan, Darby and I were having wars with wrappers and mouse ears (long story) and Brendan was shooting at us with his "terrorist gun". So yeah! that was pretty fun!

Anyways...it was a good halloween even though I didn't get to go trick-or-treating. But yeah! Go fun!

P.S.-I got my Bronze Medallion on Saturday! I PASSED! In your face swimming people from Brampton! I PASSED!
