3 Days!

victoria@cloudkisses.com (Soft Mist) — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 15:22:00 -0500

On August 23^rd, Danica (my twin) and I turned 17 years old. We had our birthday party the day before. We had this yummy cake with two layers. Strawberry cake on top, and a chocolate chip cookie cake on the bottom. It was my idea. I got some Bath & Body Works stuff from one of our friends. The got the Twilight Saga: Eclipse book from my mom and dad. Also, from my grandma and grandad. Two different covers and sizes of the book, though. My grandma and grandad are going to exchange the book they got me with the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn book instead. I got the first two books in the saga last Christmas. Paige and Briana (my other sisters) got me and Danica Miranda Cosgrove’s CD. Money was also something I got: from others of my relatives. I’m going to save up my money with Danica to get an iPod Touch to share. I REALLY want an iPod Touch!!!! Do any of you guys have one? If so, how many GB, and which generation?
So, anyway, the day of our actual birthday we got Papa John’s pizza. It was so yummy! It even came with special garlic sauce. What’s your favorite place to get pizza from?
Yesterday was the first day of a graphics design class Danica and I are taking at the community college. Our first day went well. The class is once a week.

Not As Much.

Just to let you know, I won’t be on the computer as much for the next 2 weeks. Gonna be doing more things for the summer. Having fun and whatnot.
Also, Laura (our foreign exchange student) left us today. She will be going back to Germany tomorrow. It won’t be the same without her here. We had some good times together.
Anyway… I don’t know what else to say, so…
Talk to you next time I get the chance! Hopefully, soon!
-Victoria

I'm Here, Again!

victoria@cloudkisses.com (Soft Mist) — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 15:11:48 -0500

Ok. I’m back from re-vamp! Sorry. I took longer than expected. I would have made it go longer, but I wanted to come back! I still didn’t do all the re-vamping I wanted to do. Oh, well. It doesn’t seem like I didn’t do much, but I kinda did, in a way.
The foreign exchange student that’s been staying with me and my family; well, she’ll be leaving us tomorrow. At least we’ll still be able to keep in contact on Facebook and such.
Plus, I finally know how I did in the big German exam I took a few months back. I did really well! I passed the B1, which only 4 others in my class did, too. Cool, huh?
I know that this is a pretty short blog post, but I should be going. I’ll try to post another blog post tommorow.
Bye!
-Victoria

Busy.

victoria@cloudkisses.com (Soft Mist) — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 12:07:00 -0500

Hello, long lost friends! I’ve been pretty busy. As some of you know, my family got a foreign exchange student from Germany. Her name is Laura, and she’s only a month older than me and Danica. We’ve been doing different things since she got here last Monday; played games, went to different fast-food restaurants, went shopping, went to a music festival, saw a movie at the movie theater, went to our friend’s recital, and more. We also did the regular stuff we usually do. Today we are not going to go anywhere. We are going to stay home and chillax (chill and relax). I think that Laura’s having a fun time here in America with us.
Questions:
1. Have you ever had a foreign exchange student? If so, from where?
2. What have you been doing this Summer, so far?

Two Events.

victoria@cloudkisses.com (Soft Mist) — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 15:38:00 -0500

On June 3^rd, Danica and I each took an English placement test. On the first part of the test you had to read different passages and answer questions on those passages. On the second part of the test you had to correct stuff (example: the grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc.) in the passages, then answer, like, one or two questions about the passages (like, main purpose and stuff). I got an 96 on the first part, and an 82 on the second part. Each out of 99.
Yesterday my family and I went to my grandparents’ 50^th anniversary party. That’s right, 50^th! Cool, huh? It was fun-ish! You could eat hamburgers, hotdogs, pasta salad, fruit salad, angel food cake cupcakes, lemon squares, etc. There was also soda, tea, beer (I SO didn’t have any of THAT), water, etc. I had some fruit and pasta salad, a hamburger, some soda, a bite of a lemon square (I didn’t really like it), and such. The hamburger was really yummy! We (my family and some of my relatives) gave my grandparents a special present. A song sung by us (”Love Me Tender” by Elvis). My mom was the main vocal; she sang the whole song. One of my cousins sang the whole song, too. One of my other cousins and his mom (my aunt) sang each of the choruses. Danica and I sang “love me tender” at the beginning of each of the choruses, and my other two sisters sang the two other phrases on each of the choruses. One of my uncles played the guitar for it, sang, and also put it all together. We didn’t all sing it together, you see. Nice gift, eh?
Anywho… that should be enough, right?

Downtime.

victoria@cloudkisses.com (Soft Mist) — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 19:29:00 -0500

Hey, guys! My site had some downtime, and it was back to how it was a whiles ago. But, I’ve updated it back. Thanks for hanging in there! I am back!
One more thing: some of my blog posts have disappeared. I just wrote a new one the other day, too. Like I said in it; I’m going to have an affiliate cleanout. So, if you want to stay, just let me know by June 6^th, I guess! Please and thanks!
-Victoria

Times.

victoria@cloudkisses.com (Soft Mist) — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 17:09:00 -0500

Well, The Last Song was a really good movie. I saw it on March 31^st, the day it came into theaters. I said in my last blog post that I was going to go see it with my mom and Danica, but I actually went with Danica, my dad, and my 12 year old sister, Paige. I cried during some parts. I admit it. I don’t care. Danica and I shared a bag of Sour Patch Kids. Yum! We didn’t finish them all during the movie, so we ate the rest at home.
Now, about Easter. How was your guys’? Mine, I think, was better than it was last year. First, my family and I went to church in the morning. Danica and I helped in the class of 4 year old’s. When we came home from church my sisters and I searched for Easter eggs. We usually do it in the morning before church, but we had less time, because we had to leave early, because Danica and I had to help in Children’s Ministry. Later that day, my family and I went to one of my Aunts’ and Uncles’ house. My aunt and uncle don’t have more than one house, I just have more than one aunt and uncle. Does that make sense? So, anyway, we went there and looked for more Easter eggs there. We ate, talked, and just hung out. My grandma and granddad were there, also one of my aunts, one of my uncles, and two of my cousins (a 13 year old girl, and a 9 year old boy). That doesn’t really matter, though.
You know that German test I kinda recently took? Well, I will get my score/results in May, I believe. Just like that other German test I took, my results (and everyone else’s results) have to go to Germany to be judged/scored or whatever. I’ll let you know how I did when I know how I did.
-Victoria

Whew!

victoria@cloudkisses.com (Soft Mist) — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 10:59:00 -0500

Whew! The big German test(s) are finally done/over! Yay! I think I did pretty well.
On to other news: Paiige (one of my sisters), had her 13^th birthday yesterday. We had her party yesterday, too. It was nice. The usual relatives came, and also one of our good, good friends, Bessie. She slept over last night, too, and went home this morning. Ok, more like almost noon. We (Danica and I) actually stayed in bed that late. Yeah…
Oh! Any of you guys going to or want to see The Last Song? I want to see it. Danica, my mom, and I, are most likely going to go see it on Wednesday, At least, I hope. It’s kinda a reward for finishing the German test(s). We usually don’t see movies right when they come out. We wait ’til they are at this other movie theater on Base, or come on DVD, and stuff. I want to read the book, The Last Song, after I watch the movie. Have any of you read the book?
I don’t really want to put a joke or a riddle after each blog post anymore.
-Victoria

Another German Test.

victoria@cloudkisses.com (Soft Mist) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 12:49:00 -0500

[Edit] Previous riddle: What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a thousand years?
Answer: The letter “m”. [/Edit]

Let’s start this blog off with a “hello”! Now let’s talk about other things. Well, I’ll be taking another German test on Saturday, March 20^th, and the next Saturday, March 27^th. It’s called the German Sprachdiplom. This test is bigger than the one I took in January. It’s also different. This Saturday will be the written part of the test. It will be pretty long. From 9 am in the morning, ’til 2 pm in the afternoon. Long, I know! There will be short breaks after each section in the test, but that’s still a long time! 5 hours! Anyway, the next Saturday will be the oral presentation. I will have to give a presentation in German for 5 minutes in front of a few judges, you could say. I can’t read it off of a paper or anything. It has to be memorized and free-spoken. Before I do that, though, the judges will ask me questions for 5 minutes. After my presentation, they will ask me questions about it for another 5 minutes. Then it’s over. So, 15 minutes in all. Please pray and hope that all will go well! Thanks, and thanks for reading through this! I know you might not care, but I wanted to tell you anyway!

I Mean, Really?

victoria@cloudkisses.com (Soft Mist) — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 14:58:00 -0600

I’ve been wanting to write a blog post. I know what I want to write about, but I just can’t think of how to start it off. I’ll just try.
Ok, so… I know what kind of cell phone I’m getting, and even my dad is going to get it. At least, eventually. He keeps putting it off, and making silly excuses. We sometimes remind him, and ask him why he isn’t getting it. He says things like, “the buttons are too small for my fingers”, and “what would you do with a cell phone, anyway?” Seriously! He won’t really even be using the cell phone, so it shouldn’t really matter if his fingers are too big. And, there are plenty of things that I would do with a cell phone. I mean, I would finally be able to text my friends that have cell phones (which is pretty much all of them), get on the internet (most likely), and a bunch of other things. I just REALLY want a cell phone! If you’ve been wondering, click hereto see a picture of the cell phone I’m planning to get.
Sorry for that little rant, there.
Toodles ’til my next blog!
First, from now on I will be posting a riddle/joke after each of my blog entries. Here is the fist one:
What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a thousand years?
Answer will be given on my next blog post.
-Victoria

Yay!

victoria@cloudkisses.com (Soft Mist) — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 12:58:00 -0600

Long to no write! Happy late, late Valentine’s Day! Sorry about that! I’m being a “bit” lazy about writing blog posts! What did you do/get for Valentine’s Day? My dad got me and my siblings Krispy Kreme donuts!! He also got us come Dove chocolates with caramel inside! I know, right? Yummy! Especially the donuts! Some of them were the heart-shaped ones!
I’ve put up a new layout since my last blog entry. How do you like it? I think it’s pretty good.
I finally got my score for the AATG (American Association of Teachers of German) test that I took in early January. It was the level 4 test. I got an 88%! I kinda thought I wouldn’t get as good a score. It was harder than the previous year’s level 4 test. You have to get a 70% to pass, if you’re wondering! The reason it takes so long for them to give you your score, is because the people are scoring all the tests from the whole state.
Well, don’t know much else to say, so… bye!
-Victoria

Museum.

victoria@cloudkisses.com (Soft Mist) — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 15:00:00 -0600

On Tuesday my family and I went to the National Museum of American History. We went there and back on the Metro. It was pretty cool! I’ve only been on the Metro once before. (Side note: I just realized that Danica wrote practically the same thing in her recent entry.) We saw alot of things: Thomas Edison’s light bulbs, Kermit The Frog, Julia Child’s kitchen, and much more! A little more than half way through our trip, we were hungry, so we went down to the Stars And Strips Cafe. We got some pizza, french fries, a fruit cup, and a frozen lemonade thingy. All of the food that we had was yummy, but I didn;t really like the pizza. I don’t think it had enough sauce. After our trip through the museum looking at stuff, we went to the museum gift shop! I got a multi-colored pen. It has six colors: black (of course), red, orange/yellow, purple, green, and blue. At least, I think those are the colors.
Anyway, I’m thinking of doing an affiliate cleanout. So, if you would like to stay affiliates with me, please let me know before February 7^th, 2010. Please and thanks!
Also, as you can see, I changed my layout to go with Valentine’s Day coming up. Like it? I can’t really seem to make really good layouts. I have problems with that. I like it though, nonetheless.
-Victoria

Anywho.

victoria@cloudkisses.com (Soft Mist) — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 16:31:00 -0600

Sorry for not blogging for a little while. There’s nothing really going on in my life, at least not anything interesting.
Well, today is Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday! What are/did you guys do today? Did you all get the day off? Most of you probably did. I didn’t. I’m homeschooled, so I didn’t really get a choice. My mom just made us do school. *Sigh*
Anywho, I’m going to have hamburgers for dinner tonight. Just trying to fill up this blog, so it’s not really short. Do you like hamburgers? I do. I especially like McDonalds’ hamburgers, and the hamburgers that my dad makes. Also, the ones my granddad makes, too. What’s your favorite hamburger?
Well, toodles!

Announcements!

victoria@cloudkisses.com (Soft Mist) — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 14:30:00 -0600

I have 2 announcements to share with you all! One not so good, and the other one great! I’ll give you the former one first, and the latter one last!
First of all, I took my German test yesterday, but it didn’t go as well as I thought it would. I still think I might have passed, though.
Second, and the best, best news!! I won a free .info domain for one year from Georgina’s Domain Giveaway! I’m so happy! I was kinda freaking out when I saw that I had won! Oh my gosh! I will be sharing this new website with my twin, Danica. I believe that it will be a hosting site, with other stuff, too. I’ll give you all the link/URL when we get the site up and running! What domain name(s) would you choose?
-Victoria

German.

victoria@cloudkisses.com (Soft Mist) — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 19:05:00 -0600

Every Saturday I go to German School, where I learn German. Well, tomorrow, I’m taking the AATG (American Association of Teachers of German) National German test. I’ve taken it 5 times before. Level 2 twice (there is no level 1, for some reason), level 3 twice, and level 4 once. I’m going to be taking level 4 again tomorrow. Wish me luck! I’ve passed all the ones I’ve taken, and some of the times, I’ve even gotten a prize/prizes for getting a certain percentile or above. The highest I’ve gotten is a 92% the second time I took the level 3 test. I’ll probably get my score sometime in late February or in March. So, what language(s) do you know, if you know any? If so, which one(s)? I’m only learning German.

Smilies.

Which one is your favorite?

Kinda Quick And Questions.

victoria@cloudkisses.com (Soft Mist) — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 16:04:00 -0600

Hey, all! How’s it going? I’ll kinda make this quick, ’cause I have to get off the computer.
Oookkk… I can’t really even think of anything to say. That’s bad. Why did I even what to right a blog? Right, I haven’t written one for a while.
How about I just make a list of 2 questions for both of us to answer. That works! Here goes:
What was the last book you read, and what book are you currently reading? The last book I read was The Truth Cookie. You can see what it’s about in the recommendations on my site. It was a good book. The one I’m reading now is called Suite Scarlett. I think it might be better than The Truth Cookie. You can also see what it’s about in the recommendations on my site.
What’s the social networking site you use the most? I think it’s either Facebook or Twitter. I’m not totally sure. I like both of them.
Bye ’til next time!
-Victoria

2009 Eve And 2010 Morning.

victoria@cloudkisses.com (Soft Mist) — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 18:15:00 -0600

Happy New Year, guys! My first blog post of 2010! Let me tell you about my New Year’s Eve. Last night at about almost 6 pm, we (my family) got a call from our friends’ mom who asked if we wanted to come over that night to spend New Year’s Eve with them. We said yes! She said we could come over whatever time we could. We said we would be there about 8 pm. We actually got there about 8:15 pm, but that doesn’t really matter. When we got there, we went up to our friend’s room, and we painted each others’ nails while we listened to Colbie Caillat’s new CD that Danica got for Christmas. After that, we went downstairs to go eat. Next, we played Apples to Apples. Well, some of us did, while some of the others played Wii. OMG, our game of Apples to Apples was so funny! Ha, ha! :P Anywho, then I played some Wii with some of the people who had been playing Apples to Apples. We played Wii Sports Resort. Fun times! Anywho, then we turned the TV to some channel where the ball was going to drop. We waited about 20 minutes and got our drinks ready. The kids had red and white grape sparkling drinks. Then we watched the ball drop! 2010! Danica and I drank our drinks. We all clinked our glasses and said “Happy New Year” and such. It was a good sparkling drink! Yummy! We then went home. I finally got to sleep at about 5 am. I woke/got up today at about 4:30 pm. Late, right? I know!
Anyway, hope you all had a fun New Year’s Eve, too! What did you all do?
-Victoria
P. S. I forgot to mention that, before we left, my sisters, my friend and one of her brothers, and I, played Mario Kart DS together. Not all of us played at the same time, though, because we were only using 4 Nintendo DSs, and there were 6 of us. It was fun, though!

Happy New Year!

victoria@cloudkisses.com (Soft Mist) — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 15:32:48 -0600

Happy New Year, everyone! What were some of your favorite memories of 2009? What are some of the things that you want to accomplish in 2010?
In 2009 I had my Sweet 16! In one of my previous posts I said what some of my New Years resolutions are.
Are you guys going to watch Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve? I hope to!
I can’t really think of much else to say, so… toodles ’til next year!
-Victoria
