~ Parisienne Presents ~

Presents are always exciting, but even more so when they come from another part of the world.

Jess and Karli showered us all with gifts when they got home! I love mine so much =)


A black French bag ~ very pretty!
A black beret ~ rather stylish!
Eiffel Tower earrings ~ exquisite!
A bracelet with a high-heel, handbag, treble clef, 'R', and camera pendant ~ most elegant!
And two Parisienne t-shirts ~ immensely cool!

I'd like you to know...

...A little more about me. So, I decided to do this survey. I saw it on several other girls' blogs. Hope you enjoy, and let me know what you think of my answers!

Here they are:

What is your favorite animal?
I have gone through a lot of different ones in my life time (all of fifteen years) and at the moment I don't actually have one. But I do like just about all baby animals ;)


Who's your favorite author?
Wilkie Collins, Charles Dickens, Charlotte Bronte, etc.


What is your favorite instrument?
The flute!


What is your favorite sport to watch?
Synchronised diving and swimming and also gymnastics.


What is your favorite sport to play?
Cricket and soccer (you can tell I have lots of brothers).


What is your favorite movie?
Cranford.

What is your favorite classic literature book?
"The Woman in White."

What is your favorite store?
Hard to say. Perhaps the lollie shop?

Would you rather buy a new book or re-read one?
It all depends on what book we're talking about. In order to read a Dickens' I would have to buy a title I haven't read before, but if there was something by Charlotte Bronte, then I could read it over and over.

Would you rather spend money or save it?
Spend it on beads, save it for my camera. But I do feel less guilty if I save.

Would you rather go on vacation to the beach or the mountains?
The mountains.

Would you rather play an instrument or listen to it?
Both!

Would you rather be indoors or outdoors?
Outdoors if it's raining, but indoors otherwise.

Would you rather have your room painted lime green or purple with pink dots?
Hahah! Purple with pink dots ;P

Would you rather live in a cave or in a tree house?
I feel safer on the ground, so a cave most certainly.


Would you rather have a cat or a dog?
A kitten!

Would you rather host a get-together or go to one?
Go to one.

Do you have any siblings?
Eleven.

How many times have you moved in your life?
I think five.

How long have you been a Christian?
Three years.

Christmas or Thanksgiving?
Considering we don't live in America I don't know what Thanksgiving is like, so Christmas it must be!

Words or pictures?
Both.

Iguanas or turtles?
Turtles.


Randomness or sense?
Depends on my mood.


Books or magazines?
Books.

Summer days or winter nights?
Winter nights!

Screaming monkeys or running bears?
Ummm, neither!

Jane Austen or Charles Dickens?
Charles Dickens. I don't like Jane Austen (sorry Madd!)

Scotland or Ireland?
Scotland by far!

Running or walking?
I'm too un-fit for running, but I prefer walking anyway!

Now, everyone feel free to also do this, and let me know if you do !

My 15th

Yesterday was my 15th birthday. We had Nana down from Kingscliff, which made it all the more special. Jess made for breakfast bacon, eggs and hash browns and while we ate everyone around the table shared something that they liked the most about me or memories of when I was little. Afterwards I opened my presents. I received some of the things I have wanted for some time, such as a ceramic seal, a Klutz ring beading kit, the Elizabeth Gaskell DVD "Cranford"and so on. I also received an email and e-card from friends, which was lovely!


The breakfast table setting.

Talking to Maddy, a very good friend of mine.

After spending all afternoon with Nana, Bek and Jess at Federation Square, I got home and went with Mum, Dad and Nana to Manuka for dinner at a restaurant and afterwards we went to the cinemas to see "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas". I've never seen a movie quite like that before, but enjoyed it and I think I came home rather serious.

My Birthday Slideshow

For our birthdays Mum puts a slideshow together of us from when we were a baby until now. If you would like to see mine just click here.

Photos

I was finally able to down-load the photos off our cameras, so here are the pictures of my flute:

And earrings:

I am excited because...

1). On Monday Jess, Beka and I went to Woden to do clothes shopping. Afterwards we had lunch at McDonald's; we sat down at a table and about thirty policemen had their lunch only a few tables behind us ~ we felt very secure! Afterwards we went to the Chemist and I had my ears pierced. I was so nervous! When the lady put the gun to my ear I tensed myself and then she realised that the earring container was broken, so she had to get another packet. Bother! I wasn't prepared for it when she did do it. Though it didn't hurt too much and my ears are feeling normal again.

2). Yesterday my flute arrived in the mail (it is an early birthday present - Dad and Mum bought if but I put all of my birthday money towards it plus some of the money Kevin kindly gave my parents). It is so shiny and new, I love it! (I would put up a photo but I am having trouble with my camera at the moment - Hopefully I can soon)

3). This afternoon we four girls are going ice-skating with some friends and after we are having dinner out.
