Catch Up

So I haven't written a post in like forever and that's mainly because I have been rereading the Percy Jackson books, sorry guys:P

I did think about blogging, but I always seemed to choose reading over it. Sorry about that!

But I'm back and I will try to write at least one a week. Today I will try and catch you up on a few things that I have been up to.

As I said, I have been doing a good bit of reading. I am trying to find some more books to read, suggestions please!

I have also been thinking about getting Kizoa. It sounds amazing and I would really love to be able to make slideshows. I saw some amazing ones on YouTube and so I really want to make some now:)

I recently have become obsessed with some new (for me) musicians. Mainly Demi Lovato. I love her music, especially her cover of Let It Go.

A few days ago I went to my grandparents and I must say I had a great time. My grandmother taught me how to make apple pie and sew hair bows. I am going to have to make more soon:)

Beth and I did an interview with each other today. It was so much fun. You can read Beth's HERE and mine HERE. I hope you enjoy;)

And that's about all I can think of! More posts soon:)

P.S This Geekster's Life

Life Update

So today I thought it was time for an update. I have been really terrible lately and so none of you know what's been going on!

-First off, I went on holiday:) It was so much fun. We went to a beach house and stayed there for four days. I will write a post on that soon:D

-I have done the unheard of thing and started a diary. I have always loved diaries thought how awesome it would be to keep one, but I never started one. I have now though!

-I have pulled out the knitting needles and I have heaps of projects planned. I can't wait to get started:)

-I have started reading Dream Treaders. It's a really awesome book, I might review it sometime:P

-I am planning more YouTube videos. If anyone has any ideas, please tell me either in the comments on this post or over at my channel! You can also tweet me @HannahMaryM2.

-I have been swimming! Since planning on getting back into swimming, I have been really busy. We have a pool not too far away which I either ride the bus into town to go to or Mum drives me to three times a week:)

Well that's about all that's been happening, so I have nothing else to blog today.

Life Update

Hi! So I guess most of my recent posts have been about blogging and the such. My problems, what I have found out, what I want for this blog.

I don't purpose those kind of posts are very interesting. So I'm here today to share a different kind of post! I'm going to make it that I do a life update at least once a week:)

So what has been happening? Read on a find out!

-I have started reading Higher Institute of Villainous Education by Mark Walden. It's all about these kids who go to a school for villains. It's really cool! You should go read it. It's the first out of a whole awesome series.

-I have been making more videos for my YouTube channel. If you're interested then go have a look. I have three videos so far. Two on how to make you YouTube channel more interesting and one on how to make you're blog look better.

-I have been learning coding. Thanks for inspiring me EVE! I have know opened up my own blog design shop. Go have a look if you're interested. I'm not very good, but now I can do simple designs. So yes, please order a design if you want one!

-I have been listening to yet more music. Mainly pieces from Taylor Davis, Britt Nicole and Taylor Swift. I love all those musicians and if you haven't listened to their music, you should. I little while ago I bought some albums of their music and I have been listening to it none stop.

-I have been thinking about other kinds of posts I could post about. I have come up with several ideas so you shouldn't be too bored.

-I have started swimming again and I'm really enjoying myself. We have a indoor pool not too far away from our house and it's great to go and swim there.

That's about all I have been doing. So yes. Another of these posts next week!

Not Writing

Sorry about not writing for a while! I have been busy. We went to see an aunt. It was a lot of fun, but I was missing home by the time we came back.

My cousin Carrie came with  us and stayed for a few weeks, which was also fun, but left me no time to write. Which was a pity because I had so much to write about. I will try to write more often.

After my cousin left I had a horrid cold which turned out to be imonya or however you spell it. I am all better now and ready to write. I am all willing and will write whenever I can.

Sorry again. I will write a proper post soon, but Mum is asking me to make dinner, bye!

Benjamin Britten

Today for work we looked at the composer Benjamin Britten. He wrote really lovely music. His Simple Symphony is really bouncy and jolly. I think it might be some of my favourite music ever.

Mum says that she will hunt for a cd with some more of Benjamin Britten’s work on it because I like it so much.

Otis and Mack also like his music, but Luka is too little to enjoy it. He prefers music from stuff like Bob the Builder.

Benjamin Britten was born on November 22^nd 1913 and died on December the 4^th 1976. Which was not too long ago going to how old some composers are.

Benjamin used to play the piano as well as compose music and conduct music. He was very talented.

His birthday just so happens to be the feast day of Saint Cecilia, patron saint of music. It seems very appropriate that she became a composer.

Benjamin did not get music from his father. His father was a dentist (yuck). It was his mother who liked music. She sang and often held concerts in their house.

Benjamin’s first paying job was writing for films. He so I guess that means he was a composer all his working life.

To avoid the World War 2 Benjamin sailed out of England and into America, but soon came back and when the war was over he got asked to write an opera for the occasion. I think he also wrote one for Queen Elizabeth the second when she was crown Queen of England, but I am not sure.

As you can tell Benjamin Britten had a very interesting life. I have only listened to one piece of music by him, but it was a very good one.

Do you like Benjamin Britten?

Hello!

Jane Austen (one of my favourite authors)

Hello!

My name is Willow. I am twelve years old and the oldest in my family.

I like music and art, but what I really like doing is reading and writing. I love mythology and so when I found about the Kane Chronicles  and the Percy Jackson series. I was delighted. Rick Riordan is now one of my favourite authors.

I like all the Jane Austen movies. They are so cool! I have watched quite a few. Though if you ask me some of the main characters are a bit floppy. I also like Disney movies like Tangled and Brave they are awesome.

I love holy pictures and stories. My favourite line from the bible is: 'I, Tobit, had a bath'. It is just not the thing you think you would hear from the bible, but you do.

In my family I have three brothers named Otis, Mack and Luka. I also have one five year old sister named River which is really cute.

My wish is life is to be a famous author like J.R.R Tolkien or C.S Lewis, but I don't think it very likely. I like to write about adventures and mysteries with a bit of fantasy in it.

Well I would just like to finish this post with a big thank you for reading this and please come back soon and follow!
