Hello, all! I’m here to say that I’ve made a facebook account specifically for my online friends. Feel free to add me on it, after all. I did make it for you xD. But, please tell me for username and what website I know you from before adding me. Thankies!

Lyly, out.

I’ve been so neglectful to this blog xD. Okay, now I’ll tell you what’s been happening recently. School’s out, I need to do 10 hours of community service for National Junior Honor Society, I need to read The Pearl for my summer Pre-AP assignment, and teen drama. Glad you listened to that mouthful and I’ll try to update once every week :D.

Do you like this cute little drawing I drew? It’s not like what’s been drawn here, but it’s still, okay, I guess. Anyways, I recently joined this school club, called Go Greeners. As you may have guessed, it’s an environmental club. Let me verify that I’m not a tree-hugger. I’m an animal-hugger. That’s the only reason why I’m in this club (cause pollution and all that stuff is bad for animals). But, since this month is a very special month (it’s the month that Earth Day takes place: April 22nd), I figure I should tell you guys some stuff about how to protect the Earth and whatnot. So to save some parts of the Earth…(the rain forest, mostly):

 In The Home

• Recycle everything you can: newspapers, cans, glass bottles and jars, aluminum foil, motor oil, scrap metal, etc.
• Investigate local recycling centers that take items your garbage hauler does not.
• Try to use phosphate-free laundry and dish soaps.
• Use cold water in the washer whenever possible.
• Don’t use electrical appliances for things you can easily do by hand, like opening cans.
• Re-use brown paper bags to line your trash can instead of plastic liners. Re-use bread bags, butter tubs, etc.
• Store food in re-usable containers, instead of plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
• Save wire coat hangers and return them to the dry cleaners.
• Take unwanted, re-usable items to a charitable organization or thrift shop.
• Don’t leave water running needlessly.
• Install a water-saving shower head.
• Set your water heater at 130 degrees.
• Have your water heater insulated free of charge by your utility company.
• Turn your heat down, and wear a sweater.
• Lower your thermostat by one degree per hour for every hour you’ll be away or asleep.
• Turn off the lights, TV, or other electrical appliances when you’re out of a room.
• Get a free energy audit from your utility company.
• Burn only seasoned wood in your wood stove or fireplace… and don’t light them as often.

Help save the rain forests and the world!

Go Green!

 

By the way, BC-Chan (Calypsocafe) needs some help. If you have some HKO screenies with basically anything, please email them Caly (pinknocorisu9789@hellokitty.com). More information here.

Spring break was actually last week, but it did break, like it’s breaking now. More snow in spring. And this time it’s not the snow that is all icy and you can’t do anything with it. And this time, the flowers are blooming. Snow with the flowers, winter mixed with spring.

Here in this picture, you can see a small portion of my mother’s abnormally large garden (and our neighbors house). If you look closely, you can see that the cherry tree (or whatever kind of tree it is) is just starting to blossom.

Cold Weather + Blossoming Flowers = Wilted Flowers

Okay, I know this is a really old video, but I’ve actually only found out about it today (the video, not the event in the video). Broken Arrow’s High School Marching Band (A.K.A. the Pride of Broken Arrow) was invited to perform as one of the bands in the Rose Bowl Parade, which is a great honor. Now, since I’m not in high school yet, I’m not in this video. But, they sound really good and plus my sister is in it. So, yeah. Enjoy (:

I didn’t know if anyone knew this, but the reason my username is tigerlyly(411) is because the school district’s mascot is a tiger. And tiger lilies are flowers, so if you put tigerlyly together, it actually makes sense. I have great school spirit, huh? Lol. I just thought that was interesting for you guys to know.

Thanks to all of you of wish me well while I was sick. It was much appreciated =).

Well, today it’s snowing where I am. And it’s supposed to be spring here. Crazy, huh? But, then again, you know what they say (actually, I just heard this saying, but whatever xP) “If you don’t like the weather in Oklahoma, just wait 5 seconds”. On Monday and Wednesday the temperatures are supposed to be 80 degrees or close. That’s a drastic change, so the saying really fits.

Cliche new theme, but I like it.

*cough* I’m sick over the weekend T.T. No fair, no fun *cough*. Darn that JD, he made me sick, I bet. (Exhale through your nose, not your mouth! And cover every time you cough!) *cough* Why is it the only thing I can catch is a cold? T.T You won’t be hearing from me for a while. *cough* *cough* *gulps down a bottle of water*

They’re in! They’re finally in! *tears open envelope containing results*

And the winners are

1st Place: HKO Founders, 20 shirts (of course)

2nd Place: Coffee Shoppe, 6 shirts

3rd Place: Misfits, 5 shirts, 1 bag

 Huh? Wait, what? I don’t see Tiger Melody on the Top 3? What?!? Oh, well, look at the bright side. At least this was for charity. At least my friends won! And at least we made two shirts and one bag, so that means we’ll donate six shirts and three bags to the orphans! Wow!!! Lucky them, they’re the real winners!

Anyways, altogether the guilds made a total of 61 shirts and 28 bags (We donated 183 shirts and 84 bags in all! Hope they won’t cause fights over the limited number of bags). Mostly because Sailoria guild only donated, not competed. And they were teamed up with Twin Starrs, Vampire Kittens, and Twilight. So, bravo to them! Bravo, bravo! And congratulations to the other runner ups:

MAIcrostyle
Charmmy Kitties
Super Cute
I ♥ Hello Kitty
HKO Anonymous
Pirate Guild
(Hmm, that’s basically everyone, huh?)

Congratz, congratz to everyone, then. Congratz to the hosts of the event, the donors, and mostly, to the recipients.Everyone’s a winner!

So, I say, HAPPY HELPING HEARTS! This has been a great and challenging event, though a fun one. Though, I do wish I pulled in a little more weight instead of randomly visit people’s farms xP.

“Are we human because we gaze at the stars. Or do we gaze at the moon, because we are human? But, do the stars gaze back?”

 That’s a quote from my favorite movie, Stardust.

A gap in the wall can be the passage to a completely different world. The only way to find out is to cross it…

Warning: You are about to read a bad summary.

Tristan Thorn has lost his heart to the wealthy, but cold Victoria. For the coveted prize of Victoria’s hand in marriage, Tristan vows to cross the Wall, retrieve a fallen star, and bring it back to his beloved. And so, Tristan sets out on a journey of a lifetime.

What are you still here for? Do you want to hear more? I think watching the movie (<—that’s a link) would be better than reading a few words about it, don’t you think?

 Don’t worry. There are no viruses in the link (if there were any, my computer would be unusable).

There is a book that this movie is based on, but I haven’t read it yet. I will start reading it tomorrow, though =). This is a awesome movie, so the book should be awesome, too.

UPDATE THAT’S UNRELATED TO POST

New link banner!

It’s animated :3! Cool, huh?

Well, like the title, there are so many changes happening now. And not just because HKO is over (for now), but also in my appearance. Such as:

• I GOT MY BRACES OFF TODAY! HOORAY! IT HURTS SO~OO MUCH! BUT HOORAY!

• And I got a haircut…Okay, not really excited about that. Yeah, I admit it, I didn’t know what the hairdresser was talking about when she asked me questions about what I wanted for my hair. Yes, yes, I am most definitely not a girly girl. xP.

And also changes in habits. Such as:

• I don’t go on the computer as often now :O. I know, I know, shocking, isn’t it? HKO did wonders to my original day, too.

• I’m sorta doing better in school, I think. It’s hard to tell. Not much change in my grades, as far as I know.

Anyways, I think I’m done listing stuff that changed that you don’t really care about. How about things that I hope will change?

• Do better in school (if that’s possible)
• Practice instruments more (…possible)
• Stop going on the computer so much (not possible)

In other news…

Congratulations to Serenity for Blog of the Week!

Azog’s listing possible suggestions for the upcoming HKO beta (I hope they at least use a few)
