How to Lose Your Blog Followers in One Easy Post…

 

 so, do you ever experience those moments where your brain is all a jumble and you can’t think at all- simply because the night has cast its mysterious aura (if I’m using this word incorrectly, it’s cause I don’t even know what it means… but it does sound right in this sentence to me!) and your grammar is all messy and disshevelled just like my hair when I wake up in the morning…

and then you wonder, is ANYBODY going to read such a useless, time-consuming post?? so then you begin to berate yourself for wasting the time of poor, unsuspecting victims who innocently click on your blog only to go BAM! and find themselves lost in the world of your *ahem* insightful and intelligent (…) musings about how to write a post when it is nearly 4 in the morning.

So why don’t I be a little more productive- and *GASP at my ingenuity and astounding ideas! oh the capabilities of my humble brain! oh the marvels! oh the- well, I’m sure you have grasped the remarkable aspects of my mind and it is needless for me to go much more into depth now.

So my ingenious idea is to:

OFFER GUIDELINES on how to write a late night post!!!!!!!

1. Write about your remarkable mind and the thoughts you come up with. The most incredible insights come at around 3 in  the morning.  Even telepathy becomes possible at this time of night/morning. Now, this has been proven multiple times to be a fact. For example, if you are having a sleepover and you shine a flashlight at the clock to see what time it is, your friend should be perfectly able have this knowledge transferred to their own mind without the necessity of spoken words. Eyes widened= 1 am. Quiet gasp= 2am. Small squeal= 3am. Sudden burst of incontrollable laughter and the sudden fear of death by suffocating from the excess of giggling= clearly past 4 AM.

2. Allow your hands to explore the keyboard. Out of consideration for my poor readers who are most likely no longer reading at this point, having had sufficient proof of my insanity, and out of concern for their own sanity probably abandoned this blog forever, I have taken extra precautions to keep my spelling correct. Because you really have no idea how many typo’s I’m making, but for the sake of my dear lovely readers I’m doing my very best to avoid every single one. But now, to get it out of my system: ckdjiefoajnvnhfiehjakljaoj ;kanmla;ipauut787rfjinhjlzcv;aidoeifkjlann aldjf

okay, that was fun! (btw, that was totally random keys so if any words came out of it, it was unintentional. This mostly applies to the risky possibility that I might have accidentally written some bad word in a different language that I don’t even know)

3. Go to sleep and stop writing before you lose every single follower you ever gained.

So that means, goodnight!

And good luck with your next endeavour at writing a late night/ early morning post! I’m sure you’ll keep my valuable guidelines in mind 😉 jkjk I don’t want you to lose all your readers!

Okay, ciao!

P.S.  to all my followers- I love you!!!!!!!! 🙂

Starting the New Year

It’s great to think we have a whole new year ahead of us.

It’s a refreshing thought somehow- an occasion to start anew,  perhaps to make some changes, some journeys, maybe some discoveries.

It’s like a perfect, untouched piece of white paper, just waiting to be written on. The new year awaits your story- it’s a thrilling thought! Anything might happen, you might embark on an adventure, or meet some new interesting people, or grow and change as a person yourself. I certainly hope for all of these!

May you have a great year, filled with joy and excitement, and I hope we may all come to relish the wonder and miracle of life.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

This looks like a place Anne Shirley would sit and allow herself to get carried away by daydreams….

My Dream Vacation

If you could spend your vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go?

My dream vacation would be to go to England, see the villages, castles, and particularly the Big Ben, pop in to Ireland and enjoy its lush green countryside, and if I had some extra time, maybe visit Prince Edward Island, the beloved home of Anne Shirley.

But of course, I’d start in England. I’m such an Anglophile. Perhaps I could even pick up an English accent!!

(I’ll be making up another post on this because when I put all the photos in here everything got messed up. The captions got all mixed up and some of the pictures wouldn’t show.)

Beautiful Big Ben!

 Isn’t this romantic? 

Hodder Valley, Lancashire

 

Just imagine what it would have been like living here hundreds of years ago! Beautiful!

Warwick Castle

Leeds Castle:  imagine what it would be like to live here more than 100 years ago!

Choirboys Singing Meow

Here is a funny video of two choirboys singing “meow”! I just had to share!

I love how Andrew Strait (the blond one) is so completely serious while the other one is trying to keep from smiling!! LOL!

A Day in April

I just took a walk around the neighborhood with my brothers, Rilleth and Illani. It is sooo windy outside!!! I felt like I could fly away! Must be positively lovely weather for Mary Poppins and Sister Bertrille from The Flying Nun (I just LOVE this sitcom). The tulips in our yard are coming up but I’m upset that the crocusses are gone already and I didn’t even get to take any photos! I love photographing all the plants in the yard; they’re so much easier to get a good shot of than squirming, wriggly, can’t-stay-still-for-even-a-moment siblings and animals! Even though it is rather grey and cloudy outside, Spring is finally here! And I’m so happy, especially after the long winter. I was concerned it might turn out to be like the year where we had a green Christmas and a snowy Easter!!!

I’m still trying to figure out how things work in blogland, so I apologize if my posts and the images contained within look silly!!
