Love

Oh ho ho! Suggestive title, eh? Well, this has nothing to do with love. (If you read on, you'll realise the pun). This blog has progressively gotten more and more emptyish because Madi is, sadly, internetless, and I forgot about Banana Salad (I'm sorry, blogareenies). Anyhoo, the expression 'love' in tennis has absolutely nothing to do with 'affairs of the heart' as some might say! It actually means - L'OEUF, or 'egg' in French, to be specific a goose egg! Since a goose egg is apparently a 'nothing' it means love or l'oeuf represents nothing!

Heh, well, you learn a new thing everyday!

P.S. Almost 1000 pageviews! Thankyou! :3

*pssh* can you hear me, Houston? over *pssh*

Hehehe... sorry. The *pssh*'s were walkie-talkies, in case you didn't pick that up. Yeah, just gotta get back in the habit of blogging, since I haven't blogged for ages. I really have to start again. Ideas! Come here!

...

~ Pia

OK

I know Madi's already posted something about being sorry... but anyway. I had to take the grunt of the posting because Madi's Internet stuffed... which I ignored. Bleh. Back to regular broadcasting soon, peeplies.

~ Pia

Hey! I'm back!

OK... I'm sorry I was away. I really am. It's just (as Pia told you) I was up at the Sunshine Coast and there was NO computer up there. So I had to wait in till I came back home. So I'm sorry for everything and this blog will be soon up to it's silly posts.

Sorry!
~Madi

P.S. I know this is really short but I'll post something later.

To fill in the gaps

While Madi is gone and there will be no posts, I will entertain you with a riddle. See that glass? Over there? On the left side'?Yes, my people. Okey dokey... Let's test your noddles.

IS IT HALF FULL OR HALF EMPTY? Answer. Now. Or else.(Or else what? They never told me...)

..Well, no matter WHAT you answered you be wrong! SUCKER
My sister first showed me this, with a necklace portraying the other image (below) on the back of a Scrabble piece she got from Woodford. (the festival.)

Technically, the glass is always full. HA!
1/2 a cup of air, 1/2 a cup of water.









Well, I've gotten my power fix. *sigh*


~ Pia out

P.S. Don't you just love how wise I am? Jokes. Don't comment about me.

Whoa!

Sorry, peeplies! I know we haven't posted anything for a week... *blush*
No inspiraton... at all... even though (I'm quoting Madi)
"Inspiration is every where man!"

But still :p

Back to normal broadcasting soon!

~ Pia out

P.S. I found out why Madi hasn't been posting...
She was up the coast. End of story.

~ Pia out

Oh ma GLOB! Bath in its glory!

OK, OK. Settle down... HEY YOU! I SAID 'SETTLE DOWN'! Um... Sorry about that... But anyway, back to the blog! So, my little brain was drained out of little ideas for my bolggie. And (yet again) Pia came to the rescue and e-mailed me... THIS. Yes, yes, I all know you are drooling with either because of cuteness or, I don't know, deliciousness. I don't even know if that's a word! But I wanna find a place which sells cat-doughnuts!!! Maybe I should give then a name... Cat-nuts??? Nah, sounds sick... Well, what about: Doughts???? RAH! I can't find a descent hybrid name for this!!! Uh... If you could, would you mind commenting a much better name then "cat-nuts" and "doughts"? Please. I'd REALLY like it!

Bye! For now...
~Madi

Hey there

Well, I know Madi was supposed to post after me but I shall break the tradition. Hehe. Sorry! Well, I just can't wait to show you dudes this AWESOME girl from the Internet who just makes random comics. Her name's Natalie Dee and she just draws stuff. AND SHE IS AWESOME! I think Madi might have heard about her before. I dunno. Well, I'm just going to show you guys some of her comics. They're really random.

Look her up, NatalieDee.com. I'm pretty sure she does a daily comic or something. Left is really awesome and random. Hahaha. Y'know, I'm using that phrase when I'm in an awkward silence. "A super cow wears a cape." Tehe!

Well, see yah!

~ Pia out

Popularity

Alright, I'm just going to go full whammy: WHY IS BEING POPULAR SO FRIGGIN AWESOME? It's not like it's going to last forever. You leave high school, or primary school, and you have to start all over again. Being popular does NOT matter in the real world, guys. Would you rather be popular or unpopular? C'mon, guys.

Take Madi, for instance. SHE WAS SUPER POPULAR. (once, way back when... nah, ignore me. Rambling on as per usual.) And when I made friends with her, I clawed her down all the way to my deep, muddy, dark pit of UNPOPULARITY. Haha. May have been a slight exaggeration.

Well, tell me. Would you rather be popular or unpopular? Comment.

See ya!

~ Pia out

I FINALLY saw it!

As all of you know, THE HUNGER GAMES HAS BEEN RELEASED! And I went to the MIDNIGHT showing! There were some people dressed as Effie and Peace Keepers! OK, I know some people are going to hate me for saying this but: 1) Where the HECK was Madge? 2) Where were Katniss's prep team? 3) And why did I only get to have a glimpse of the Avoxs? The movie was SO different from the book! It was alright... But I still prefer the book. Like I expected it to be kinda better... And it went REALLY fast. Like it just zoomed through the whole thing! But of course it was still AWESOME! So I recommend to see it! (The books will ALWAYS be better!)

~Madi

The dog ate it! I swear!

Honestly, I pity the fool who cannot INDULGE in themselves! I challenge you. Ever eaten a whole cake and said your dog did it? Or your sister? Dad or mum? Have you ever settled down in front of the computer and/or television with a bag of heavily salted snack treats and a Milo and sat there for an hour, feeling yourself get fatter by the minute?

Well, if you said no, I DENY YOU. I mean, I've done it hundreds of times *blush* hehe! I have made a random playlist of my favourite videos on Youtube, and rugged up in front of the computer with an oversized Milo and a tub of yoghurt and a bag of chips and then just watched it! Without clicking the mouse! What technology we have these days.

Ah well... just another of my usual pointless rants. Comment on this post. Tell us when YOU have splurged. If you haven't? YOU'RE A DIRTY ROTTEN LIAR. Just joking... Tehe!

~ Pia out

I don't wanna grow old!

OK, here is something which has REALLY kinda ticked me off for the last... Let's see... Three years. It's that EVER single friend I know acts like there six-teen and there only like eleven. Like lets see... They were bras, read DOLLY (There's nothing wrong with it. I just think it's like for teen-ages. I mean come on! It's about puberty and stuff!), have boyfriends (I don't even fancy anyone and girls my age have like already kissed five boys!). I mean, I'm a kid. And I will only be one for oh so many years. I mean, this year I'm turning twelve so next year I'll finally be a teenager. SO I want to live out my childhood whiles I can. I mean, when your a kid you can go to the super market in you PJ's and no one will care. But like when your, I don't know, fourteen, you wouldn't even think about going to Woollies in monkey PJ pants. Because you will be noticed because your not a kid anymore. That's why Pia, Chloe and I have made a list. A list about what we are going to do before we go into HIGH SCHOOL. Like going to the city dressed as Storm-troopers or whatever. Because your only a kid for so many years and you have to make the most of it. Don't go rushing into adult-hood. I mean, I am still freaked out about the dark and my bed is still covered with all my favorite toys and sometimes I do want my mum because I'm still a kid. Not some six-teen year old in a eleven year old body.

If you didn't like that post then blame Pia. She said this blog is for posting out thoughts.

My Neighbour Totoro

Yesterday, my dad went down to the video store and brought back 3 Studio Ghibli films, because he is OBSESSED with the Cat King (yet another good movie), and one of the films he brought back was My Neighbour Totoro! Which is a movie I have been HUNGERING to see! Aha!

Well, we got our din dins (which was Indian.. mmm) and sat down in front of the TV and watched it. It's about these two girls who move into this house, and one day after the older girl goes to school (she's in the yellow top and the orange skirt, her name is Satsuki) the littler girl (in the hat and holding the fishing rod, her name is Mei) goes exploring and she sees this little ghostly figure, (the animal sitting on Totoro's head) and this other one (the blue one, bigger than the white one) who lead her to this huge camphor tree that is just near their house. She falls into this hollow and onto this huge animal.

When she tickles his nose (he's sleeping) he roars, and the roars sound a little like To.. to.. ro! So she dubs him Totoro after this character in one of her storybooks. They only see Totoro every now and then, and you can only see him when he wants you to. Eventually Satsuki sees him, even thought the father (the mother is in hospital) and Satsuki are sceptical. They are waiting at the bus stop, and Totoro suddenly appears and calls for this bus, which turns out to be a cat! There's a picture of the catbus around here somewhere, if you would be as kind to look.

There it is! It has mice for headlights, and you can go anywhere you want. Its eyes shine the path like headlights. What happend in the story is, they get a telegram from the hospital where their mother is, but they are worried about her since the message wants their father to contact them. Mei gets worried, and runs off to see her at the hospital, but it is a 3-hour run even for a grown man and she gets lost. Satsuki goes looking for her, but then a little while later, they find a pink sandal in the pond. It turns out not to be Mei's, and she finds Totoro's path and he summons the catbus and takes her to Mei. They get to the hospital though, and their mother is only sick, but fine. Mei gives her the corn that she's picked on the windowsill, and on it is carved "To Mummy. Love Mei" It's a beautiful film and story.

My awesome PAC-MAN alarm clock

Yes, yes... I know Christmas is over, but can't we still enjoy all out merry gifts? Well, I dare say... YES YOU CAN! Except I don't really ENJOY my gift... Well of course I do! It's a frigging Pac-man alarm clock! Who wouldn't? Apart from maybe the... Ring it makes... You wanna know how it goes? Like this:
Dan dan dan! WHACKA WHACKA WHACKA WHACKA WHACKA!
And it wont shut up... Only if you press the little "Alarm Off" button.

All I can say is... At least it gets me up! I love waking up each morning to a lovely NON stop pac-man! Wouldn't you? Haha! Did you see my little tone of sarcasm?
Oh well... At least my FAVORITE author has one! Derek Landy... I'm gonna meet you one day! Derek! Expect me...

How To Survive If There Is A Zombie Apocalypse

Good evening, my friends. Today I shal be telling you how to survive a zombie apocalypse in the unlikely event of a nuclear war followed by the dead rising from their oh-so comfy coffins.

Today we shall be doing a little test. I shall ask you some questions, and you will be answering them. If you get one wrong, sorry. You're dead. I will come to your funeral, yadda yadda yadda, blah. Anyhoo.... LET US START.

Question 1. What is the best zombie protection?

ANSWER: A regular light-weight jumper wrapped in duct tape. Let me explain - A zombie has all of the PHYSICAL capabilities of a human, just not the MENTAL capabilities. This means a regular human would just peel off the duct tape and bite you, nonetheless zombies cannot do that because they are not smart enough. As for the physical capabilities, can YOU bite through duct tape? No? Haha, I did not think so. Can YOU bite someone's arm, covered by a jumper, covered by duct tape? Aha! This means a ZOMBIE cannot.

Question 2. Where would you hide if there was a zombie apocalypse?

ANSWER: A hardware store and/or a grocery store are your best bets. A grocery store will supply food, water, supplies, utensils (such as knives) etcetera. A hardware store will provide lots of useful weapons and barricades.

Question 3. What's better to fend off a zombie: a hammer or a chainsaw?

ANSWER: This is vital to your safety in a zombie apocalypse. Answering wrong may put your life in danger and EVEN KILL YOU. The correct answer? A hammer. You may be brainwashed by all those zombie movies where the hero saves the maiden and kills all the zombies with a chainsaw, but your BEST BET is to smash their head in. Blunt weapons will work better, since sharp weapons will only dull easily and become of little or no use at all.

Very well. How did you score? Comment. AND DON'T CHEAT, BY READING THE ANSWERS FIRST. Or else. Me and my zombie friends shall find you and - No wait, scratch that. Haha!


~ Pia out. Actually, I'm a little freaked out now and must go lock my windows.


Information provided by the good people at the Zombie Research Society -
http://www.zombieresearchsociety.com/
and my friend's older brother, who seems to be an expert and is already collecting items for a zombie survival kit, in case of a zombie apocalypse.

Frankie

OK, I know this is a weird way to start this post, but almost EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR FRIENDS (I mean our friends as in Madi and I) read DOLLY magazine! It's crazy! Well, anyhoo, we read Girlfriend and Frankie. Because Frankie is awesome. Haha! It's a magazine for creative peeps who love different stuff and clothes and music. It's about... let's see... art, craft, design, fashion, photography, music, books & film, events, interior, food and vintage stuff. There is a poster in every edition, and Madi says since I have so many Frankies I should stick the posters up on my wall. But I want to keep them in the magazine. Teehee!

Anyhoo, it's not made out of that shiny, sticky magazine paper that all those teen magazines are made out of, it's made out of really nice paper. It has this section in the front about all this awesome stuff that you can win or whatever, like cool vintage cameras, tappy leather dancing shoes or pretty dresses. Or stationery stuff, like super-nice paper and beautiful pens. Well, we like being different to other people (I mean, Madi and I).

Ah well.

All the best cats in the WORLD

Sorry this post is a little random and short but Madi sent me this awesome picture which was 'ALL THE BEST CATS IN THE WORLD' and since there has been nothing on Banana Salad for... let's see... 2 days. Aha! So now I will post. Haha... Well, anyway, I am going to post about this. Alrighty, I have now wasted about a third of my post about this. OK. Well, as you can probably see that Garfield is spewing out the awesome cats on the ICONIC Nyan Cat's rainbow! Yay! Then there's that kitty, from Pokemon, Meowth... I forgot that and then had to ask Madi (I'm talking to her right now... hehe!) what its name was. (Sorry) Then there are some cats from Animal Crossing... like Kiki and Rosie and Punchy, and then some anime cats! As you know, Madi draws manga and anime an' stuff... well, back to the kitties. There's HELLO KITTY! Whoopwhoop! Yes!

Anyhoo... goodbye.

Animal Crossing

All the people who know Pia and I, know we are OBSESSED with a game called Animal Crossing (Both DS and Wii) and I recently just found my game and my town was covered in WEEDS! Yes! Those killer things which make your town look cruddy! So then I spent an hour picking out all the weeds in my town.

Anyway, if you go to my other blog:
www.animadison.blogspot.com
You will find out that I got a 3DS for Christmas last year. And I can't WAIT in till the next Animal Crossing comes out! For the 3DS! It will be AWESOME! Apparently you can go swimming and stuff! The creepy thing is though... At the start of 2011 Pia and I made up our on Animal Crossing. And like we made that the people could go swimming and stuff! We were planning to send it to the Nintendo company but we never got the time to. And after all that planning we finally heard of Animal Crossing on 3DS. And we kinda got a little scared because it sounded like the game WE planned!

~Madi

I'm alone!

NO!!!! Don't go! Oh...
Well Pia has left me to go to her school camp thingummy and left me to fend for myself.
And because she will be gone for... I don't know, maybe four or five days? I'll have to do most of the posting and yeah.
Hopefully when she gets back she will tell US (Technically me...) all about her week in the GREAT OUTDOORS. Nah. I'm kidding... I couldn't last a day out there! No books. No computers. NO civilisation. Imagine the only entertainment was a pebble or something. Imagine!
Only joking. But you would have to bring along a mini laptop and ten books to get me camping. Seriously...

Any way,
~Madi out

Sweet Mother of God.

My friend told me to search up "Flight of the Bumblebee" piano tutorial on Youtube, so I did. And guess what was in the suggestions box? "Hardest Piano Tutorial Ever" so I clicked on it. So, I give you the video, dear friends, with a message: Holy crap.

P.S. If you voted, on the poll, tell me. Just in case.

Rhinos try hard...

Look at this adorable picture I found on the Internet! It's so cute! The rhino's ambition is to become a unicorn! GO MR.RHINO! You can do it!

Wait... Does this mean that every one has a inner unicorn? I don't know, ask some one else. Gees...
Hum... Maybe it means if you have a dream, get a picture of it and stick it in your room.

Oh yeah! And I also saw a guy and he had it as a t-shirt. I envy you. Guy...

Any way,
Madi out

Pinch, punch, first of the month! Hehe!

Mweheheheh. I know it's not the 1st, but still. I just had to warn you dudes,
I'm going camping on the 5th to the 8th so if there are no posts, blame Madi.
I am not responsible. (Actually, for anything...)

Ah, well. Pia out.

My Nail Art

I was looking at one of my friend's blogs, and I saw this post

about nail art - the link for the post is below.... down here

(http://layneisawesome.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/cool-or-what.html) So I was inspired to do a post about my nails, which I awesomed up last night. There's a picture on the left side....

In case you can't tell (well, it is a shiny photo...)

My thumb is a watermelon, my pointer finger is a blueberry, my middle finger is an apple, my index finger is a purple cross on a blue base and my pinky is an orange line on a pink base.

There... do you like it?

I used my nail art pens to do the fiddly black and white bits.

Awesome Music!

You know how most people listen to Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber? Well Madi and I (you know, we kinda invented this blog...) listen to alternative-ish music... which is awesome anyway!! Well, anyhoo, here are some awesome music peepareenos... GO AND LISTEN TO THEM NOW!

Kimbra -

Lana Del Rey -

Gorillaz -

~ Pia

Please prove you are- ERROR!!!!

Well, I was posting a comment on some ones blog site and I realise this particular thing. It catches my eye. I look more closely and it says: Please prove you are not a ROBOT. I mean seriously! A robot? Does the world think that if we are a robot we can't post comments or we will cause World War III? Well, I don't know. But I think it is stupid. It's not like your going to use a robot to post comments on blogs??? Yeah, I didn't think so...

And did you realise that the word is ismsilly and if you kind of mix it up a bit you make:
I'm silly. If you take out one S.

Well, I hope I am not a robot. and I am defiantly not silly. Thank you very much.
*Storms dramatically out the room.

Coca-Cola bottles

Madi, Chloe and I had a sleepover a couple of weekends ago and on the Sunday we went down to the shops (and we saw the vintage orange Beetle :3) and we got 3 Coca Colas in these awesome glass bottles! Yay! So we drank the Coca Cola. *obviously* While we were walking back we saw a girl from our school... um.

And we got my dad a newspaper.
But we didn't have enough money for Skittles.

~ Pia

Lana Del Rey

Hi.
Lately my sister's been listening to this singer named Lana Del Rey. I think some of her songs are OK, but others are terrible :P If you're wondering why her lips are big, it's because she had a lip inflation to achieve that "Old Hollywood" look. Weird, I know.

She's actually quite pretty...
watch one of her videos here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bag1gUxuU0g&ob=av3e

or this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cE6wxDqdOV0&feature=relmfu

Tell me what you think of her.

~ Pia

Does Banana Salad exist?

Well, look. A banana salad. And what is THIS blog called? Banana Salad.
Exactly. So with my awesome computer I wanted to find out if this dish... exist. So I typed up banana salad on Google. And turns out, it is a REAL dish. People eat this stuff! You know, I don't even like bananas. My mum has tried to make me eat them, but they are just gross. I physical can't eat bananas.

But I think my friend Pia likes bananas. Do you? But, in my life I have found banana pizza. But I have never heard of banana salad. I wonder if it tastes nice. Or is it just lettuce and some bananas? I don't know, and I will never know.

Well, you learn something new every day.

~Madi

Hey, Scotty... Jesus, man!

Vintage cars and rainy days.

Just because it's been raining cats and dogs doesn't mean we can't enjoy a bit of photography. As Pia and I ventured forth on our adventure we took some photos along the way with this awesome ipod app Vintage Camera. So you take a photo and then you get to choose what type of vintage style you want.

Like this awesome bright orange buggy. Took the picture added the style and posted it on here. Now (when I'm older) I want a beetle. Maybe not bright orange, but still!

This photo (sorry I forgot to put your name up there next to 'Pia and I') is proudly taken by Chloe. My faithful twin.

~Madi

Come again another day (seriously).

Well, it looks like we didn't learn anything from yesterday, because we went for a walk (Madi, Chloe and I) to the IGA to get Cokes and a newspaper for my dad and it began to spit, so we were just "Oh, it's just kinda spitting, let's go," but then it started pouring just as I came out of this other shop where I got musk sticks. Chloe was taking tons of pictures with her iPod (and they looked AWESOME!) but then it actually started BUCKETING down and we didn't have an umbrella... so we got soaked through :P

And we were wearing Converse.

~ Pia

Rain, rain go away...

It feel's a lot like Summer up here in Australia. Wait, no. It dosen't.

Summer: sunshine, fun in the park, having icepoles on a hot day and going to the beach! Well not here in Brisbane, it's more like, Summer: Get a new umbrella, jump in puddles, wait intill the storm has finshed and getting flood insurance...

Like today, Pia and I (and my twin Chloe) were going to have a fun day going around to a bunch of random shops. But no, the rain made our hair wet and and our shoes sopping. We mostly had to walk to all the shops so we got wet. I mean wet. I think next time I go to Pia's I should bring an umbrella...

Words of Wisdom~ Get an umbrella next time you go shopping.

Peace out.

~Madi

Yo!

Hi dudes,
This is Pia :)
Me and my friend Madi have made a blog for just
posting our random thoughts on it. Enjoy! :D
