New Blog Title

LIFE... OF LYDIA! (that's me)

The title was my older sister, Naomi's, idea.

Happy New Year!

I have not written in a while. I'm sure you've noticed.

Excuses: Christmas, busy, forgetful, sick, random other stuff.

Okay, we've gotten that over with.

So! Happy new year! I actually posted on the right day this year! Last year I posted on January 2nd, I think. I heard a rumor that aliens are supposed to invade this year. Your thoughts?

My younger brother Isaac's birthday was yesterday! He got a video game, a kite, and a building set. Christmas was also recently, but I can't remember all my presents. Oh well.

My sisters Miriam and Naomi also had birthdays recently. Now our family's ages are, oldest to youngest, 15, 13, 12, 10, 9, 7, 4, 2, 0. It's funny, by the time Rose, our youngest, is 5 or 6 she could be an aunt!

I have to get off, so, cheerio!

More Life

I've been real busy of late...

So, Rosy-posy (our nickname for Rose) is adorable. ^ ^ She smiles and giggles and loves watching games and videos.

Lately us kids have been filming a sort of TV show (it's not on TV, we just call it that.) called Agent X. Isaac plays Agent X, Naomi is the antagonist, Naki, Miriam's role is jumping around from character to character, Angela is a minion and one of Agent X's superiors, and Joseph is a minion and the other superior. If I know you, you can ask me to email one or more of the episodes to you. They're pretty funny. :D

NANOWRIMO IS COMING SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

In 13 days, I'm going to a costume party at AHG(American Heritage Girls)! This is the second costume party I will have gone to in my life, the first being last year's AHG costume party.

Um... we're having chicken for dinner! (RANDOM)

Peace out, folks!

Life

Life...

Um, lessee.

 Last Sunday, us older 4 girls went to the AHG (American Heritage Girls, in case you didn't know) Fashion Show that Naomi and I organized. Naomi and I were on the stage the time, reading the descriptions of the outfits, and boy was I nervous! I didn't mess up though, and it wasn't as bad as I thought. :D

Speaking of AHG, here's come pictures I drew for an art auction!

Ta-daaa! I drew the outlines by hand (see first pictures) and then scanned them into the computer and colored and shaded them. I didn't shade most of Shadow, though, since he's black.
I've been wanting to buy this Sonic Comic that was supposed to come out in February, but it still hasn't come out. -_- Darn it. It's new release date is May 27th, but somehow I doubt that. I wonder what's wrong with Archie comics?

I never did mention that MY MOM IS PREGNANT! :D :D :D :D :D The baby's a girl, she doesn't have a name yet, and she's doing fine. ^ ^


That's all, so, peace out, dudes!

Naomi's blog

Just today, I realized that I have been updating my blog way more often than Naomi, who used to complain about how I never posted. *high fives myself*

Life

So... life. :)

Last month, our monthly P.E.A.C.H. skates were canceled. -_- Fortunately, the same month a friend of ours arranged a homeschoolers day at a nearby rec center so we can go ICE skating. :)

More good news, my friend Ameera, who was gone for a little over a month as she moved, finally returned and Naomi and I  are chatting with her regularly again. :D

Sonic 06, as mentioned in my previous post, was a HUGE hit with my family (except Naomi). It's all anyone ever plays or talks about. Even my brother  Isaac, who is usually very picky about the games he plays, loves this one.

My little brother Daniel, has also changed. He is now a climbing machine, and it's a miracle that he hasn't gotten seriously hurt yet. :)

So yeah, that's what's been happening. Peace out dudes! Don't forget to feed the animoids! ^ ^

Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 review

Last Thursday I got a game I have been wanting for so long, SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2006! I didn't post until now because I was having too much fun playing it.

Almost everyone I meet says this is the worst game ever, but I cannot imagine why anyone would give this game a bad review. It is practically the best game I have played in my ENTIRE LIFE!
Now I know that I'm not a professional reviewer. I mostly judge games by plot, and not by gameplay. My sister Naomi hates Elise(resident princess), so she doesn't play the game. She says the rest of the game is boring.

Needless to say, I don't agree. ^ ^

I give this game 5,000,000 stars out of 100! (That should prove my point)

HAPPY NEW YEEEEEAAAAAAR!!

So what if I'm a day late? Big deal. XD

For Christmas I got:
4 popsicle molds
Rayman: Origins
2 Poi Balls
Sonic Legacy Volume 1
Recorder (instrument)
Socks
Elephant cookie cutter
15 dollars (which I'm going to buy a video game with :D)
Thinking putty

So yeah, pretty good haul this year. XD

In other news, I'm sick.
COFF
very sick. :P

Three of my siblings had birthday recently, and I'm still trying to get used to the fact that my darling sister Naomi is 14. :D She should write about it on her blog one of these days.

I think that's all. Until next post!

 

I'M LATE I'M LATE

I know, I know... SOWWY! Xl I need to work on writing more often...
So, lotsa things happened while I didn't post. For starters, my friend Ameera started school again and now can only email me very rarely. :( I went skating last Thursday and fell and might have fractured my arm (Arm is healing up pretty well but it's still swollen)... <:C So yeah... not many good things happening lately.

Well, at least Naomi found my music player that's been missing for over a month! >v< (Well one of the earbuds broke but who cares haha) Sho yeah, that's 'bout all. I WILL HONESTLY TRY TO WRITE MORE OFTEN I PROMISE!!!!!

Michigan

I don't believe I ever told you, dear readers, that I went to Michigan yesterday for my grandparent's 50th anniversary party. I thought I would so bored but there were Balloon animals and Naomi and I made a new friend. I leave to go back to Ohio this morning, and I hopefully will post more once I get there. XD

Sapphire (for once)

Naomi (if u don't know her see her blog http://onegirlinabigfamily.blogspot.com/ ) reminded me that even though this blog iz called the Awesome Sapphire Club I hardly ever post about Sapphire. :/
WELL THAT IS ABOUT TO CHANGE! :D
Here's an excerpt from a story I wrote from Sapphire's perspective.

“Alright, is everyone ready?” I asked.

“You bet!” Speedy Girl grinned.
“Yep,” Squashy said.

“No problem!” Flame crouched down in a battle pose.

“Yea,” Flash said.

“Let’s go!” Wildgirl answered and then chirped something to her animal army.

“Alright… go!” I signaled Speedy Girl and she dashed off.

“YO, ROBO! CAN’T CATCH ME!” Speedy teased. The robot guards fired at her, but missed. They ran after her continuing to fire. Meanwhile, Squashy shrunk and created a super-strong pumpkin shell around him. He rolled through the main gate and set to work hacking the computer. Speedy Girl led the robots around in circles for a while then headed toward a pit she and Flash had dug and covered. Since she was so light, she ran right over the covering and toward the team. The robots broke through the covering and fell to the sharp rocks below.

 

Speedy grinned. “ALL IN A DAYS WORK!” She yelled to us. I sighed, slightly jealous of her. Squashy deactivated the security system and called us in. As soon as we got there, Squash spun around and pointed a gun at me.
“Don’t any of you move!” he ordered in a cold metallic voice.
“Squashy? What’s going on?” Flash asked nervously.

“I said don’t move! Come with me. And you, Wildgirl. Leave the animals outside.” He grabbed my arm and dragged me into the base. Wildgirl told the animals to stay away and followed slowly. Everyone else followed.

 

Squashy dragged me into the throne room. “Here they are, master.” He said to Dr. Wol. Dr. Wol eyed us carefully.

“Very good.” He smiled at Squashy. Then he turned to me. “I suppose you’ll be disappointed to know that your brother is really an intelligent robot double named Squashbot, planted by me weeks before your meeting. I programmed my robots to fall for your trap so you would think your plan was working.”

“And why are you telling me all this?” I asked defiantly.

“Eh, you might as well know, before you DIE!”

“I should have guessed that…” I muttered.
“Lock them up with the other one!” Dr. Wol ordered the Squashy robot.

“Yes master.” He grabbed me again and ordered the others to follow. We were marched down a long metal hallway.  Suddenly I twisted and kicked the gun out of his hand. He gave a roar of anger and snatched for it. I took off down the hall. He was about to after me but his wrist radio beeped and Dr. Wol’s voice echoed after me.
“Don’t bother with her. She can’t do anything without her powers anyway.”

“Yes master.” He picked up the gun and led the rest of the team away. I peered around the corner.

“Bad, bad, bad situation…” I muttered. How will I rescue them now?

 

If you want more maybe I can publish the book... XD
