#38 Tie Dye A Shirt

June 20, 2012

Summer Challenge #38

Tie-dye a shirt. 

 So yesterday in the afternoon, I decided why not tie-dye a shirt. I chose to do a spiralled yellow and orange shirt because I wanted something that reminded me of summer and sun-shiny brightness. xD It didn't take too long and once I was finished, my right hand was stained orange and my left stained yellow. That's a pain in the behind to get off. >.> 

And since I was tie-dying...I also tie-dyed a nurses' scrub top for my mom. It looks like a mango threw up on it. She wanted pink, lime green, and yellow like the picture on the back of the kit. Pictures lie. It does not show how it actually turns out. They definitely coloured that picture with some paint program because my colours ran into each other and created a light mango shirt. But once I rinsed it...it didn't look as bad as I thought it would. Hah but putting it in the dryer to completely dry? Bad mistake. It faded and is now a faded mango tie-dye scrub top. ...whatever works? 

And here's the completed [dry] product of my shirt :D

...I know the lighting is horrible...I'll probably add in a different picture of it later. xD 

But I believe it turned out pretty good. I like it, and that's what counts. :D

So until next time...

#3 Finger Paint A Picture

June 18, 2012

Summer Challenge #3

Finger paint a picture on canvas and then frame it.

Ta-da! My finger paint and hand print masterpiece! xD 

I did this lovely work of art yesterday as my brother and I did crafts for our wonderful Dad for Father's Day. :)

 

To all the wonderful Dads out there, I wish you all a Happy Father's Day a day late. n.n

What will my next challenge completed be? I'm actually thinking about tie-dying a shirt today...yellow and orange! :D Though my brother wants me to do the Cinnamon Challenge next just to watch me fail. How lovely. >.>

Until next time, :)

#4 >Temporary< Colored Highlights

June 8, 2012

Summer Bucket List #4

Put >Temporary< Coloured Highlights in My Hair

 This 'challenge' was super fun and super easy for me. This past Halloween, I stocked up on that temporary spray-in hair dye that comes out once ya wash your hair. I have bright red, blue, and purple. I typically put red in, so I changed it up and used purple. See the purple tint? :)

 Unfortunately, it's faded now since I have been outside in the sun all day. But I thought ahead and took pictures beforehand when it was still bright and noticeable. :D

 And oh my goodness. My mom came home from work and brought home the most surprising thing ever.

Meet Riley. He's a nine month old Jack Russel mix. He is super fat! xD A woman at my mom's job was giving them away to whoever wanted them and whatever pups were left would go to the pound. D:

So, we're keeping him until we can find him a good home. :)

{or maybe until we can convince my dad to allow Riley to live with us permanently. xD}

Keep your lights shining~ :)

#2 Paint Each Finger Nail A Different Colour.

June 6, 2012

Summer Challenge #2

Paint each finger nail a different colour. 

So I began my Summer Challenge with something simple...or so I thought. I began my nail painting last night, finding only eight different colours. Really? Only eight? >.> So two nails ended up being the same teal colour and one was classic black. And looking at my nails now, it looks super duper tacky since some are glittery, some are bold colours, and two are natural colours. ...yeah not the prettiest masterpiece in the world...but Challenge number two is officially crossed off as complete. :)

I'm thinking of being bold and going for the Cinnamon Challenge next...if only it'll stop raining. Yes, I'll be doing it outside, so my parents won't freak out when there's a mess in the kitchen.  Cause there will be a mess. x) 

Maybe I'll put temporary spray-in streaks in my hair if it's still raining...hmmm...I'm thinking purple. ;D

Until next time,

Keep those lights shining bright!

And Just Like That...It's Gone...

June 1, 2012

 And just like a released balloon into the sky, my Junior year of high school is done. It's over. It feels as though I just began the year and now it's over! This year has been one of my best and favourite years of school, I must say. I began this year with not wanting to go back to school. I ended this year with not wanting it to end, not wanting to go back to staying at home. My fear was irrational though. I knew there'd be more people than just who was there last year. And there was. With the new seventh graders and all the new kids that came and kids who've been there for a while, I made tons of new friends. With that being said, there's been a lot of funny moments that happened this year and moments I will never forget. Junior year...who would've thought it'd be one of my best years of school? :)

Junior year. A time for class rings. It was really fun to pick and choose which one I wanted. There were so many different styles and stones and colours and images. So many choices. Here's a picture of mine, cropped to hide my hand because it looked...weird. xD I chose an aquamarine stone, no it isn't my birthstone, but because I love light blue, it's my favourite colour. :)

On one side, there's my graduation year, 2013, and a beach scene with a bird flying away. I found it to be pretty. :) On the other side, there's my name and underneath that is a basketball point guard and my basketball number, #13. ^_^ 

 A time for these two lovely tests. I took the ACT back in the fall of last year and I received a round composite score of 23. Not too bad. Sadly, I must take it again this coming school year. >.>

The SAT I recently took the beginning of last month. It was quite difficult and, unlike the ACT, any wrong answers would actually be counted and deducted from your score. The English sections, I found to be easy enough and that was my strength in this test. The math, however, I got nearly half of it correct. Mainly because it was mostly trig questions and I haven't taken trig yet. o.O'' I ended the test with a feeling of underachievement and a melted brain. I recently received my scores back and to my surprise, I scored a 1670 out of the 2400. Thank you English! xD 

A time for my school's Varsity Girls' Basketball team to finally become Conference champs once more after 10 years or so. :) I'm the one holding the ball. 

And here's to going to the Quarter-Finals of our division. Hopefully we'll go even farther next year. :)

A time for Junior-Senior prom. Our theme this year was

a "Rave" theme, complete with hanging glowsticks, strobe lights, black lights, neon colours, pop rocks, and awesome fun! When this school year started, I told myself I would not go to prom. Dresses + Me = WTF, no way. But by the time it rolled around and a definite awesome theme was chosen, I decided 'what the heck, why not?' I asked one of my awesome amazing Freshmen friends to go with me. We had a blast! :)

A time to graduate from Junior Leadership. Another thing I had thought of not doing at first... I'm so very glad I did this though! It was fun and I met many new kids from around and it was a great learning experience! :)

Also notice something in that picture...I'm wearing a skirt. Yes a skirt. WTF, right? We had to dress nicely for graduation so I figured why the freak not. It's pretty and blue and matches well with my black lacy shirt. Why the freak not. xD

Junior year. And it's gone, just like that. Yesterday was my last day. My last day to see my friends until we hang out during the summer and for some til next school year rolls around. Yesterday was the first time I haven seen some of my friends for a week, since I exempted all of my final exams. This guy with me? ->

Yeah, he's like my older brother I never had and I'm his little sis. We call him Catfish, long story don't ask. xD He's awesome and someone you can never ever forget. :) 

And it's done. Over and done with. And we made it. Upcoming Seniors. Graduating in May of 2013. One last year to make memories of high school. Time to start visiting colleges. Applying to colleges. Filling out scholarships. Spring is a time for our last Junior-Senior prom. A time for our Senior trip. Times for pictures. And lastly, a time to graduate high school forever. 

And just like that, it'll be gone.
