(sorry, public schoolers!) What curriculums do you use?? For most everything, I use Sonlight (I'm on the year, ummm, I don't know what it's called.... The first book we read, though, was Mara, Daughter of the Nile) Curriculum. For math, I use Math-U-See, and I'm on Algebra 1. For grammar, I use Abeka, and I think I'm using book 7. Maybe. :) For science, I use Apologia (which has suddenly become fun, because my mom reads it out loud while I take notes, then we do the experiments, which is AMAZING, because my mom ruins just about every experiment she does. :):):) Hee hee....) and I'm on, ummmmmm.... I don't know which book... I'll tell you later! :) For Spanish, I use Rosetta Stone, and I'm still on Level 1, Unit 4... :):) I suppose I should work harder at that... :):):) And, ummmmmmmmmm.... What other subjects are there???? :):)

*looks suspicious* Are you really telling the truth about your hair and eye colours? Anyway.
Okay, my b-day is November 12th, I play Suzuki and will have my Book Four graduation recital in May, which means I just finished Gigue from Partita in Bb by Bach, but I'm still playing all the other songs in Book Four of the Suzuki Piano Method. Also, I am playing the Raindrop Prelude by Chopin (I know it's not the real name but it's easier to remember) and a Sonata by von Weber. Oh, and for the favourite color, it's DARK blue mostly. How 'bout you? And, do you have any siblings? I have one younger sister. (Yes, I have a closet under the stairs, but it's really me and my sister's shared coat closet.) I like organizing things, but I never finish organizing and everything gets dumped into random buckets around my room once more.
Yeah, we COULD say that we're twins!!! Hey, we could put that into the Diana rp, as in, like, hmm, I'll tell you on the Diana thread, but it's a pretty cool idea (in my opinion).
PS. I might introduce my BFF to the site, who is only two weeks younger than I am, and sometimes (although we look nothing alike, it's just the age similarity with Franta and me), we say that we're twins! If he does stick around, we'll be triplets then..........heehee!
~your also terrified twin,
Jenni

Yikes. That's...wow.
(April 18, 2009 - 7:36 am)
J-j-j-jenni? I almost played the Raindrop Prelude a little while ago, but I'm doing another Chopin instead, and I may still play it (it's so pretty!) Have you ever heard of Enrique Granados, Isaac Albeniz or Joaquin Turina? Those are three fantastic Spanish composers. I'd have to say I love Spanish music best, because it's all so different. Right now I'm also playing a Bach Sinfonia, some Mozart, and Debussy. And yes, I have brown hair down to my hips and dark brown eyes. As for blue, which is, truthfully, my favorite color, I love all shades of blue, but I especially like the dark purply-blue. Have you ever heard of the radio show "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me"?
(April 18, 2009 - 10:36 am)
My mom likes 'Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me.'
(April 20, 2009 - 5:28 pm)
She does? Yay!!!
(April 20, 2009 - 7:33 pm)
Well, her B-Day is in November.
Too close B-Days for comfort.
Way too close for comfort.
Don't tell me you do Suzuki piano because that's what she's doing in piano.
And that would be super scary.
Yick.
You've gotta be like twins or something if you do Suzuki Method, which I think Jenni would be terrified if you are.
*screams in terror*
EEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKK
KKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Triple Yicks*
Yick. Yick Yick.

Er, well, as you all know, I'm not homeschooled, but is it Ok to put that I have a touter for sign language!!!!!!!! Yesterday was my second day! hurray!
(April 17, 2009 - 3:09 pm)
Really? I've always wanted to learn sign language (okay, well, since about a year ago.) I know fingerspelling and I'm pretty good at that, but I wish I knew words.
(April 18, 2009 - 7:35 am)
Maggie? I thought I knew a Maggie... oh well. Sign language is soooooooooo cool!
(April 19, 2009 - 8:01 am)
Annie is really freaked out right now because we have a cousin named Maggie. But I don't think it's her.
(April 19, 2009 - 8:02 am)
Same time as Aliza!!

Oh, and I'm the youngest. I have three other siblings. Sometimes I get into cleaning moods and go on rampage (like Sophie). I like to keep things at least a little tidy. I work as a volunteer at my local library every other week, so I'm pretty good at alphabetizing (and I have a hand ready for new books coming in, like when Brisingr came out). My dad's a little allergic to cats, and I used to be, but I've grown out of it. We have four cats and two dogs. I used to be incredibly allergic to horses (and I love them so much) but lately, if I'm careful, I can be around them. I had a cat named Vivvian who was the sweetest little thing. When she was a kitten, since I was allergic to her I couldn't sleep with her at night, but I would sneak her under the covers and tell her to stop purring when someone went by. She got hit by a car last August. :(
(April 18, 2009 - 11:59 am)
Hey, I go on cleaning rampages, too!:):):) It drives my sister crazy!!!!:):):) Oh, I'm so sorry about your cat.........:( It's always sad when an animal dies. Do you have another cat now?>^-^< Sorry, I know I did that cat smiley wrong.:):):)
(April 19, 2009 - 10:03 am)
We didn't get a cat to replace her, but we do have other cats. It's really sad though, because we found her and her two sisters when they just barely had their eyes open: they'd been abandoned by their mother. We had to feed them with a little dropper of milk, so I was really attached....:(
