The Tale Of My Minor Nightmare

What do these have in common?

They strike fear in my heart.

And remind me just how awesome my dad is.

I had the most beserk science project.

Design, from scratch, a roller coaster for a marble with three hills. It must start at 92cm high and the first hill must be 80cm. The last two hills could be whatever. You could not power the marble with wind, magnets, etc. It had to be pure momentum that sent it from beginning to end.

Doesn't sound too hard, right?

WRONG!

After several failed plans and projects, rewrites, building, scrapping, praying, and roughly 12 hours spread over a week and a half...

My group and I were doing some very justified panicking.

Luckily, my dad is epic and extremely knowledgeable about any subject presented.

When I asked him for help, so began the several-hour adventure that is...

building my 'A' science project, which you see in the second picture.

Thank you so much dad!

How?

So, I just discovered this picture and felt the need to put it up. I play violin! Did you guys know that? I love it! If you don't play an instrument, I have one question for you:
How? :/
Seriously, get on it, friend!
I play piano and violin, and it's so much fun! I think of playing instruments as being fluent in another language.
An INTERNATIONAL language! Like the International System of Units!
Okay, that sounded really nerdy... :)
Donc, je viens de découvrir cette photo et ressenti le besoin de le mettre en place. Je joue du violon! Avez-vous les gars savent que c'est? I love it! Si vous n'avez pas jouer d'un instrument, j'ai une question pour vous:
Comment? :/
Sérieusement, obtenir sur elle, mon ami!
Je joue du piano et du violon, et c'est tellement amusant! Je pense que de jouer des instruments comme étant couramment une autre langue.
Une langue internationale! Comme le Système international d'unités!
Okay, ça sonnait vraiment nerdy ... :)

This is me at a violin concert. :)
See? See my happiness? This could be you! Propaganda!

C'est moi lors d'un concert pour violon. :)

Surgery

I got surgery done on my broken -now fixed, hallelujah!- sinuses a few weeks ago. Here are the pics I know you either really want to see or really DON'T want to see. :)
J'ai eu la chirurgie fait il ya quelques samaines. Voici quelques photos.

It was hard to smile with that thing on my nose... I called it my mustache... :)

The first time, they put my IV in wrong, so I got a lovely and very flattering bruise. :)

The second attempt was much more successful. :)

Please ignore the fashion magazine on the edge of this photo. It's my sister's, NOT MINE! I was NOT LOOKING AT IT! Promise!

Oh, and the black thing is a calculator case. I needed to do my math... :)

Merlin Party!

BEWARE: Merlin Rant!

Okay, so, two of my closest friends introduced me to this at a sleepover, so blame them for wrecking the incredible and dangerously delicate balance of the cosmos.
It's a show called Merlin, and it is only the BEST television show on the planet. (Or, possibly, in the previously mentioned cosmos.)
Behold, the main character:

(Ha ha! I managed to drag a picture off the internet! YES!)
So, anyway, Merlin is basically a spin off type of thing on the story of the wizard Merlin and King Arthur, and Excaliber, and The Lady of the Lake, and such. Except, in the series, King Arthur is still Prince Arthur, and Merlin is his servant, and the conversation and such is more modern and REALLY funny. I can't say too much, I don't want to spoil it for you, but seriously, look it up on Netflix. It's awesome.
It's also great for movie nights! 'Merlin Parties' with my friends are the best!

Beat.

Okay...
This year's snow slam had last year's beat.
Last year, it was this.
This year, we got almost a foot of snow in one day AND a night, I nearly broke the snow-blower about 200 times, (then my mom blowed again this morning) AND it's the first day of spring break.
Why...?
:)
Nous avons eu de la neige tonnes de plus que l'an dernier...cliquez sur le lien pour voir la neige de l'année dernière! :)

Sorry! (And Trouble-Shooting)

Oh my goodness I am so sorry for not posting for so long!!!!!!
Here's my excuse:
My dog ate my...oh, wait.
Here's my real excuse:
A new computer.
Yeah.
No idea how to get pictures downloaded/uploaded.
You understand, right?
Thanks. :)
Don't worry! I will soon be back! Pinky promise!
But first, a word about trouble-shooting.
Doing a google search when your electronic device gives you trouble really DOES help! Don't be skeptical. It really works. :)

The Jet Pack

What you see here is the latest way to carry a hyper child a short distance. This is called The Jet Pack. The child's feet are held in front of the carrier, one leg on each shoulder. It does require the child to cooperate, so this is recommended strictly as a less painful alternate to a piggy-back ride. :)
Ce que vous voyez ici est la dernière manière de porter un enfant hyper courte distance. C'est ce qu'on appelle le Jet Pack. Les pieds de l'enfant ont lieu en face de la porte, un pied sur chaque épaule. Il exige le bambin à coopérer, c'est donc recommandé strictement comme une alternative moins douloureuse pour une balade ferroutage. :)
