Hi
everyone, it's Brigitte!
Long
time no write, eh? Yeah… Anyway, on Monday, my
grandparents came back from
I
just updated the My Hobbies page, so I now have the My Drawings page up, too!
I'm going to add a lot more, once I collect them all. Chapter Four of Rose's
Adventure is finally up! Sorry for the delay!
Well,
I only have time for a quick note, so that's all! Have a good day! Brigitte

Bonjour!
Comment allez-vous?
Are
you wondering what I just wrote? Well, it's French. Basically, I just said “Hello!
How are you?” so you can answer by saying “Tres bien, merci” if you are feeling very good or “Comme ci, comme
ca” if you feel so-so. Anyway, enough about French, let's talk about today!
Or the past two weeks, actually. And get prepared for a long, long journal entry.
So
today, High School Musical 3: Senior Year
opens in theatres. And I think that I am not going to see it. Why? Well, quite
frankly, I'm getting sick of those High School Musical movies because, I never
liked the songs very much and the dancing is okay. But some of the acting is kinda bad. Yes, I said bad and it
wasn't a typo. That's just my opinion, though. You don't have to agree and more
than likely you're not.
Anyway,
today, I went skating again in Artesia. Which, by the way, is “Michelle Kwan's
Rink” but she doesn't skate there very much. (Warning: Skating terms coming
up.) Anyway, I had a lesson with Coach Li (Caroline Zhang's coach) and she was
extremely happy with my double flips because they're almost, almost clean! So yay me!! I also had a lesson on-ice with a ballet coach and
she helped me polish my program. It's looking very nice!!
I am
almost done reading The Wednesday Wars too,
and it's a really good book. It's from a guy's perspective, but you can still
relate to it pretty much. I especially like this one part where he read Romeo
and Juliet and is reviewing it.
Here's
an excerpt:
“Never
mind that Romeo wears tights--at least according to the pictures--but he just
isn't very smart. And Juliet isn't too strong in that department, either. I mean, a potion to almost kill you? She drinks a potion to
almost kill you? Who would drink a potion to almost kill you? Then Romeo goes
ahead and drinks a potion that will kill you because he can't figure out that
she's only had a potion that almost kills you? And then Juliet, who at least is
smart enough to figure out that Romeo really is dead, makes sure that she uses
a knife this time, which is not almost going to kill you, but really will kill
you?”(Text copyright Gary D. Schmidt. I do not own
anything!)
So
after reading that, I don't think I'll ever be able to read Romeo and Juliet
without thinking about that!
I
edited the “Stories” page so it's now “Writing”. I added some poems too! Rose's
Adventure--Chapter Four is up, so head on over and check
that out! There still is a lot I want to edit, but I think I'll just finish the
first draft first, or else I'll never be able to finish the story!
Speaking
of stories, I had a very weird dream last night. (Don't ask me how this relates
to stories because I'll tell you later...I think.) Anyway, so my dream was that
we met this genie or something, and she told us that our house was going to
melt on Vicky's birthday. But, only the inside will melt. And everything will
be back to normal the day--or a couple days--after her birthday. So, we got our
bags and parkas, and started to stuff pillows, blankets, food, extra clothing,
and other stuff into the bags. But we only had limited time because at
midnight, our house will start melting, so we were in a rush. Just as we were
finished packing, I heard this really loud sound coming from upstairs, because
I was downstairs. That's when I knew we had to go.
Vicky
and my mom were already outside. Actually, they were at the office, because
Vicky was getting a card or something from the receptionists. Anyway, we--as in
my dad, grandparents, and me--went out the garage door, but we didn't take the
cars. (Don't ask me why! Dreams are weird sometimes!) We ran out and met Vicky
and my mom in front of our community swimming pool which is right across the
street. I had left my lamp on and you could see the things melting inside.
Then, over the intercom, a voice was telling people that our house was melting
and the guy was totally freaking out.
Then,
fireworks came on. Don't ask me how I thought of that. I guess I just supposed
Vicky's birthday was near July 4, although her actual birthday is August 26.
And the fireworks were really, extremely, abnormally loud. So I covered my
ears. But after like five seconds, they stopped being loud. In fact, there
wasn't anymore sound coming from them. So I told Vicky how nice she looked in
this beautiful black dress with colorful polka-dots all over it. It actually
looked amazing!
But
I stopped dreaming there. I actually woke up to make sure my house wasn't
actually melting. I know, I'm weird, but oh well. And when I told my mom about
it, she said it was a very interesting dream and that I should write it down
and maybe make it a story, so there it is.
Well,
I don't have much to say anymore, so have a nice day!
Sincerely,
Brigitte Gong
PS “Tres bien, merci” actually means “Very
good, thank you”. I just wanted to be clear.
