   Here it is...
http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/421506557/1.jpg
Well, heres the link, I hope this works or else I'll look stupid ^^
You'll have to copy and paste it into your browsers sorry.
Anyway, the picture is of Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty and...well some other stuff too in -wait is it Greek or Roman- Mythology. Please tell me what you think could be done to make it better, especially in the colouring. I was planning on adding a pretty bg full of falling rose petals, but we'll see.

Thankies for your time ^.^

   Muffins ^^
I love muffins, don't you? Anyway, this morning I took a bit of time out of my hectic life to do some baking. I've never really been that good at baking, but it's fun, so why not? I ended up making three different batches of muffins (coz muffins are easy ^^) The flavours were:

Apple, Cinnamon (hey- my namesake!) and Raisin,
Banana and Chocolate chip,
And
Chocolate and Cream Cheese filling

Sound nice? Maybe you're wondering about the last one, Chocolate and cream cheese? Well, I guarantee that it is good. You can debate my sanity, but I'm telling you, they taste delicious. Especially the chocolate batter. I think I would've gotten another half-tray from that mixture if I hadn't kept eating it...Mmmmmm, chocolate =^.^=
Also, my picture that I've been working on...
Well, I don't know. I think I'll ask for your opinions first. My photoshop skills aren't that great. I'll post the picture here soon. and you can tell me what you think.

I have one day of real holidays left, and then it's the weekend. DOOM! I have to go back to school in 3 days! Well, I'll try not to think about it while I put the picture up.

   How typical...
Well, I'm back again! It's currently school holidays for me, but only 2 weeks worth, of which I am in the second already. First week was a total waste of time, 'cause I caught a cold, and I could hardly get out of bed. Thankfully, I'm better now, but I lost a week of my precious holidays! *cries*

However, I managed to get something done in that first week, and I just happen to have a picture that I am happy with and which I will submit as soon as I have finished colouring it. Yay!!! I hope you guys like it...
I've just figured that in 2 weeks, it's going to be my birthday! I didn't realise it was so close! I'm busy working on ideas for my party... I think i'm going to have a toga party, and that we'll watch the movie Troy. I haven't seen it yet, and my friends who have won't mind, because of all the hot actors in it ^^. That sounds like a good plan, doncha think? ;)

See yous!

   Return of the Cinnamon
Well, I'm back. I haven't posted in a while, but I've been around. Hope you noticed...^^
Anyway, I have *still* got piles of homework to do (Things don't seem to change that much, do they?)
I'm supposed to be writing poety at the moment. I suppose that's okay- I have other stuff to do, but our anthology is due first.

A long time ago, I mentioned that our social was coming up. Hollywood themed, yada yada yada. Well, It was on Thursday night, and it absolutely ROCKED! We all had so much fun! I went with some friends as Charlies Angels, being the original person that I am, and ended up being Cameron Diaz. Quite funny really. Anyway, the music was great, I discovered that I'm not actually that bad at dancing...in fact, I'm really good. Modest, no, but definitely good at dancing. Just ask the boys ;)
Sadly, I'm not as good at dancing one on one, so...yeah. Then again, I don't think anyone was. Except for Jeff. He is a REALLY good dance partner...
I just hope no-one I know reads that. I'll never hear the end of it if they do.
^^
Anyway, I'd better get going. My homework awaits.

   Back at school...The first week of DOOM!
Well, I've been back at school for a week, and I've already got 5 assignments, and the Auzzie maths test, and a major headache. Probably 'cause I didn't catch up on any sleep during the holidays, but oh well.

Anyway, I started the day out really wierdly thismorning. I woke up 45 minutes after I was supposed to get up, I had a quick shower, got dressed, and had rice bubbles for breakfast. Y'know, those little grains of puffed rice? A pretty basic day. But the wierd part is that Mum suggested I use Baileys (an alcoholic cream liqueur) instead of cream, seeing as we had run out. She wasn't being serious, but I did anyway.
So I had rice bubbles with milk, sugar and baileys for breakfast. And it didn't taste that bad. I may have gone to school a little tipsy, but it didn't taste bad. ^^
We also won our soccer game about 6-3, so that was wierd too. The last 3 games we've played have all been draws. It's so much more fun to win!

Also, I have borrowed some manga from a friend. I hadn't ever read a translated one before, as I'm not a skilled reader of Japanese, however hard I try. Anyway, I have made the decision that I like manga more than I like watching anime. Shocking, ne? But TV makes me feel lethargic, unfit and lazy. Reading is more portable. And it's easier to study for drawing. Or copying, which I do when I'm not feeling creative. It's good practice.
The 3 books were
CCS- Volume 2
CCS- Volume 4
Gundam SEED- Volume 1
I enjoyed them all. Cardcaptor Sakura is so much better than the dubbed version Cardcaptors.
Well, better go. I need some sleep. *yawns*
Night Night People ^^

   Clouds...
Or really, the lack of them. I just looked out the window, after letting my cat (Tabitha) out of it (yeah, so I'm too lazy to go to the front door to let her out. Well, the window's just as good, and It means she won't be ripped to shreds by our dogs)
Anyway, it's a lovely sunny day and the sky is a lovely bright blue. I'm not quite sure why, because it's supposed to be winter. The sky is totally cloudless, except for this one cute little puffy cloud, hovering just above the horizon...
Oh goodness gracious me! Tabby just gt into a catfight with this other big fat moggy from down the street. I don't know what it was doing in our backyard, but she did NOT like it. Now theyve boh jumped over the fence...
Hey, it's just like action TV, only with cats!
All the dogs rushed to the window to see what was going on. You can still hear the cats hissing at each other.

Anyway, back to that cloud...oops, it's dissapeared. Looks like I have nothing else to write about...

:D

...

Well, see yous! Sorry for the randomness, but I just found it interesting, so I decided to type it up. ^^

   Well...
It's still the holidays here, but I really haven't done much. Stupidly, I end up going to bed at midnight, and wake up at noon. It is the best way to waste half a day I tell you!!!

Anway, I have been doing a lot of reading lately, and I have just finished the Obernewtyn Chronicles by Isobelle Carmody. It's a really good series, but it doesn't really get going till the second book. Also, the ending seemed a little hasty to me. If you have read it, say what you thought of it...I like hearing others thoughts about books ^^

Oh and for a day or so, I had a horrible addiction to the virtual pet site neopets.com. No doubt you've heard of it? I have an account there from...41 months ago...and I just went back to visit it, and I got hooked again. Just for a little while though. If you don't understand what I mean about neopets being addictive, you really have to join the site. You choose a neopet and you get given a certain amount of neopoints to start off with. Neopoints are the currency you use to buy food and toys for your pet. It doesn't cost anything, the site's totally free. Anyway, you can get neopints by selling, trading, playing games etc. And you get caught in the vicious cycle of getting more neopoints. See?

Well, thats all I have to say for today. Stupid neopets. Have a good day guys!!!

   Holidays!!!
Hey Guys! I'm back!
Finally I get the time to make it back here. I'm so sorry for my not being here, but I've been busy. It's a bit scary, coz I haven't been using the internet for anything but homework. It's not like me, I tell you!!! But it is now the holidays, and I don't have too much homework now. Yay!

Grades ^^
I just got my half year report back. I nothing below A-, and I am happy. That's the first time I ever got all A grades before ^^.
Anyway, there are more interesting things to talk about. Like...

My school social!
The dance theme has been chosen, and although I'm not supposed to know (eavesdropping is a bad habit, I know, but the committee was talking very loudly and conspicuosly), it is going to be Hollywood. Good, because I get to dress up all prettyful, and bad, because I don't have anything to wear, and showing up naked isn't an option I'd want to consider (althouh it happens enough times in Hollywood movies and the like ;D ) So, it anyone has any suggestions for a character or person that would be highly novel to go as, tell me ok?

Public buses (and Harry Potter :D)
I don't like them, but they are useful. I can bus to practically anywhere in the city, so long as I don't get too hysterical about it. I went to see Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban with my friends and I must say, the actors skills have improved something amazing! I actually enjoyed the movie, and hardly made any bad comments about the actors this time :D. I didn't like the casting for Sirius and Lupin though. They just creeped me out a bit...or a lot. The cute little romantic bits between Ron and Hermione were sweet...badly acted, but sweet nonetheless.
Feel free to argue with me on that... I know people have very ranged views on HP. The books are so much better though...
Anyway, thats quite enough from me now, so TTFN
:D

   Addicted to Reading, Records and...Alliteration?
Well, I haven't been here for a while, have I? *blows away piles of dust from site* Sorry, but I've been busy. I've miraculously gained a gap in my homework/nonexistant social life, and I have time to blob out, do stuff I've been meaning to do for ages, and sleep. And I need sleep. The graphics project I was talking about in my last(?) post kept me up until 4 in the morning, which left me suffering from a tiredness high , and only 2 and a half hours of sleep in the morning. Great fun.


Well, I've been re-addicted to records. Primarily by Enya. *blushes* Shameful, isn't it? But when I was a baby, it was the only thing that would get me to sleep at night. We just happen to have a dusty old record player, and some dusty old enya records, which I have bewen listening to of late. And I have come to a conclusion. RECORDS ROCK!!! I wish they released recent songs on records (darned alliteration) nowadays. That'd be kewl ^^. BTW, If you don't know who enya is, well, try visiting www.enya.com. She did some of the soundtrack for LOTR, and has had her songs used as backings quite recently.


Anyway changing the already boring subject, I have been attacked by a fetish for reading. I love to read, its just that I'm picky about what I read. Currently I'm reading David Eddings: The Belgariad and The Mallorean Series's(bad english ^^). Theyre really good, I recommend them; especially if you like fantasy.


Well, last night I went ice-skating with my youth group. I adore ice-skating, but I hadn't been for about 3 years until last night, so I didn't know if I'd be able to do it. I was never very good in the first place anyway -.-' I fell over once, and had a frozen butt for the rest of the night. It was funny. But thankfully, I hadn't forgotten, and I didn't injure myself, so if you ask me, it was great.


I went and got my hair trimmed thismorning, after grudgingly getting out of my nice cosy bed. I'm trying to grow it for my Y9 & 10 social, which should hopefully be fun. Any suggestions for a theme? I have correspondants within the committee who are arranging it, and they have no idea what to do for a theme. Anything would be useful, so long as it's not "create your own theme" which was last years disaster of a social. The only people who had a thwme were the ones who dressed up as skanky faeries. Dumb aye? So help me here, ok?

   Sick as a pig...
Great. I now have a cold. It's one of those really annoying nose + brain + throat ones. And the thing is, I still have to go to school. I feel really sick right now. But, a sympathising friend recently gave me some encouragement...


Me: *complains about feeling sick*
Friend: Don't worry, I'm sure you'll survive. And if you don't, I'll come to your funeral. ^^
Me: That didn't help. *giggles*


Anyway, we both cracked up, and everyone was giving us funny looks.
Lets hope it's not some random deadly virus. Coz then I might die, and well, my friend will feel really bad.
And, I'll be dead.^^


Oh, and now for some great news that I'm not complaining about! Our dog Tinsel (yeah, she was born at Christmas when I was about 10 and had a fetish for wierd names)
Has had 8 puppies! All healthy.
And so, I am happy. Even though I have a cold. We have puppies!!! *dances*
Well, have a nice day!
