As the changes roll out...

7/30/2014

LET THE CHANGES COMMENCE!

    I am, as you can see, if anybody ever comes on here anymore... Rolling out a few changes. The theme has changed to something that reminds me of a futuristic warfare video game, oddly enough. Font size, color, and style has changed, also. I deleted some sub-pages and edited some.
    Well, I like the changes, basically. Oh, and also, in case you can't tell, I changed the header on all of the pages to be six of my pets. 5 of them are currently with me. The first one is not. They are, from left to right: Andrey Alxandr Miller (R.I.P., buddy.) Jules, Jeffery, Marshmallow, and last but not least, Ava.
    I hope you (whoever dares come to this deserted place *cue rolling dust-balls*) have a wonderful day or night, whatever it is where you may be.

How Long Will I Stay This Time?

7/29/2014

Well, I'm back. For now.

    I don't really have much to say at this point. I do have one thing to mention, however-
    I'm beginning to write a new book.
    I've began to write books before, but I always lose interest because I crack these... well... stupid... jokes and just basically brought things into the story before they should be brought in and I just lose interest relatively quick when I do that, and I'm hoping this story is different.
   ONE MORE THING!
    I GOT A RABBIT! Yes, a rabbit. Her name is Jules. Let me attach a picture for you. :)

She's a Lionhead rabbit. I named her Jules. That's all!

Happy Mothers' Day!

5/11/2014

This post is completely dedicated to the mom in my life.

    What makes a Mom a Mom? Well, as our pastor said in church today-- Not every mother is a Mom and not every Mom is a mother. It's true.
    So what makes my Mom a Mom besides the fact that she gave birth to me?
    Well, let's start out by saying that she is the best Mom. Ever. I wouldn't trade her for the finest things, all the money in the world, or even all of the owl collectables possible.
    What makes her a Mom is the fact that she loves me, no matter what. That no matter how many times I take advantage of her, or annoy her, she sticks by me. She supports me. She thinks I'm beautiful. When I'm sick, she takes care of me. When I'm scared, she comforts me. Sure, she gets mad at me every once and a while. Then what happens? She goes right on back to loving me.
    She lets me make mistakes, she lets me regret them, yet she helps me through them. She puts up with my attitude, and she hasn't gone [completely] insane yet.
    And she is raising me up in the Lord with the help of my Dad.
    THAT is what makes my Mom a Mom. She's not a mother. Anybody can be a mother of something, but not everybody can be a MOM.
    I love you, Mom. Even though I will continue to annoy you, make you angry, and make dumb choices, you will continue to love me and I will continue to love you.
    P.S. You are beautiful, too. :)
-Susanna:)

I'm back. for a while.

5/11/2014

Maybe, maybe not.

I feel stupid looking at all of the posts I've ever made. I feel dumb. I've cracked these stupid little jokes that make me feel beneath everybody else while reading past posts.
I'll make up for it eventually.
-Susanna:)

New Changes, New Dreams.

4/9/2014

    In case you didn't notice, recently, this blog got a mega-makeover. But not only that happened! Today, I created my very first official logo for Slidingice! All of the pages have it. I feel so accomplished in it!
    To be absolutely completely honest with you, I am extremely interested in graphic design. And as a part of the homeschooling program I use, it suggests a few programs you can use for it. The first one I used was Inkscape, and quite honestly, I wasn't very pleased with that program. The one I'm using now is called Gimp. That is what I made the logo with. And I am so so so happy! I definitely suggest Gimp, to everybody, even people who have no idea what they are doing, because that is exactly what I was; Somebody who had NO idea what they were doing. But I read a few tutorials, and now I have made a logo.
    I've still much to learn, but this is the best start. So yeah. Everybody get on over and download Gimp! FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF ALL BLOGS, WEBSITES, AND... HUMANITY!

DOWNLOAD IT HERE!

Congratulations, you now share my success in my first logo. If you chose to download it, I hope you enjoy it!
-Susanna:)

I don't know about you!

3/20/2014

think ABOUT IT.

It's true. I don''t know about you! I just started thinking about this last night. I literally don't know. I don't know your favorite color, I don't know if you are a boy or girl, I don't know if you are still in school or you finished school, I don't even know what color your hair is. So as you can tell, it occurred to me that I don't know.
Which is why I'm going to tell you those things about myself, and then I'm going to ask you them about yourself.

My favorite color is red. It has been all the way sense Pre-k.
I am a girl. I think. Just kidding, I know I am a girl.
I am home-schooled, in the seventh grade. I don't know if that means I'm 'not in school' but to me it means I'm still in school.
My hair is... Like a... dirty-blondish brownish type. See, I don't even know MY hair color!

It actually angered me a small bit that I have no idea how many people actually read this blog, I don't know anything about the people that read this blog, besides my family.
So, poll time!

So, enjoy the polls!
-Susanna:)

CONGRATULATIONS!

3/19/2014

notice anything?

    If not, I think you may want to see an eye doctor. ;)
I changed everything! I stuck to my word, and I did it! And guess what? I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CHANGES. BEFORE, Slidingice looked super girly. That did NOT appeal to me. At all! So if you liked the old theme, sorry to disappoint, but this one suits me WAY better. This is the real me. Not all pink and happy, more bright, bold, and mysterious. And. I. Love. It.
    I even changed what all of the pages said in them. Like the about page, I changed the 'About the Author' piece. On the events page, well... You should go check it out for yourself. I apologize, if you liked the events... Read the page and you'll find out why it's happening.
    I am going to be looking at this blog in a professional yet comfortable way. I am not going to force myself to do weekly, monthly, or daily posts or events anymore. This blog is still most definitely 'professional,' but I'm NOT forcing myself into anything I can't do.
    What do I mean by professional? By professional, I mean that I pledge that I will do my very best to continue with this blog. I love this blog. And you better believe it! I'm just not going to force myself to do events and such that are stressful, because from this day on, this blog is a stress-free zone!

So until next time, my friends. Remember, NO STRESS!
-Susanna:)

I'm Back!

3/19/2014

Hello, everybody!

    I'm back. And if you'd been paying any attention to me or my blog, you'd know I've been gone for quite some time. But that doesn't matter now because as of TODAY, Slidingice is getting a COMPLETE MAKEOVER. I am changing the theme (probably) the fonts, the colors.. Everything. Because I've figured out that a small change can also change the attitude that you hold, and that is a good thing. Lately, I've been holding a very bad attitude. And that is going to change.
    I think I am sick today. My stomach hurts, I've a headache, a rash on my left arm, (slowly spreading to my right arm, I don't know how,) and a few bumps under my eye. I don't know if I'm going to C.A.P. tonight, even though Maj. Panzera JUST said that if you are feeling sick, not to show up, because it puts the rest of the people at risk and C.A.P. is ALL about safety. I don't know. But I'm in a pretty good mood, granted how horrible I feel!
    So odds are, right after this post, I will be changing a LOT of things about slidingice. Who knows? It could be GREAT.
    -Susanna:)

2/8/2014

Hello.

1/31/2014

Let me tell you...

I took a huge break from the blog. From the 16th of January to today, the last day of January. That's 15 days that I've been gone, huh?
I did it on purpose. I wanted to see if anybody would bother to make a comment on my last post saying 'Hey, where have you been?' or 'I hope you are doing alright, you've been gone a long time.' I waited. For fifteen days. Nothing. And honestly, it's kind of disappointing. I know a few people besides those in my family read my blog, and there is nothing. Even my little sister usually pops in and makes a little comment every now and then- But nothing.

I don't know what I've been doing wrong, but I'm quite determined to find out. I don't know when you will hear from me again. Maybe tomorrow, maybe a few days, a week, a month. I have no idea!
-Susanna:)

Feeling Mix!

1/16/2014

Annoying :/

Well, do you remember that huge 3D room I showed you yesterday?

Yeah, that's the one. Something glitched, and the whole thing got deleted, leaving me with THIS:

So I had to change and rebuild EVERYTHING! I was so upset! It took me well over an hour to do three things here:

Think of what the heck I was going to do next. To either forget about it and not build a new room, or buy a ton of new things to replace what was lost.
HOW to take what was left and turn it into something better again.
And finally how to save as much coins as possible.

So in the end, it turned out like this:

So which one do you like better?

-Susanna:)

Ee-Ya!

1/15/2014

Guess what.

Well, first, there is a game called Pet City on Face Book that I love. Here is my beautiful pet, Pezeebi.

So any ways, in the past week, I've gotten really interested into designing rooms on the game. You can have a TON of rooms, and I just happen to have a lot more than I need, so I decided to experiment with combining rooms, rotating, resizing, and layering everything in the room to make something beautiful. So I combined a bathroom with a bedroom. It took coins, skill, and a LOT of time. So this is how it turned out:

And that above was my first attempt at making a '3D' room. So I'm actually VERY satisfied with the results! I think I could make this into a hobby if I tried hard enough. So thank you for reading and I hope you like what I made! Oh plus, you should so try the game.

-Susanna:)

Helloooooo!

1/13/2014

Hello!

It's me again, this time, on a Monday! I love Mondays! Why? Because I've got Youth Group on Monday!

And today I even took it upon myself to try to curl my hair. I never do that. I don't typically bother with my hair unless I'm cleaning it, wearing a hat, or wearing a bandana. I just don't typically care about my hair.

I usually hate my hair because just after a few days tops, some times just over night, my hair gets so oily. I just hate it!

It didn't do much with my straight-as-a-ruler hair. But I kind of like it. But I probably won't do it again any time soon, because you know, I don't bother much. Anyways...

Nice posting to ya!

-Susanna:)

Today's Talent Thursday(:

1/2/2014

Can't catch up!

Trust me, I've been searching around for the last two weeks TRYING to find two crafts to do because I missed a Thursday. And frankly, it's been driving me insane. So today, you can only get one- I can't make up for the one I missed, because my mind is at an absolute blank!
(And yes, I DID SEARCH AROUND FOR CRAFTS.)

Pet Rocks (Easy as Pie.)

What you are going to need:

A hot glue gun. (Regular glue doesn't work great at all!)
Googly eyes.
A ROCK. It can not be too curved on the top that you can't manage to glue on the eyes.
A heart made out of felt.
Somebody who is allowed to use a glue gun.
OPTIONAL: SHARPIE.

The steps you've got to take:

Pick up your rock and two googly eyes.
Take the glue gun and put a dab of hot glue onto the googly eyes. Quickly stick the eyes down onto the top of the rock, because that glue sure does dry fast!
Take the felt heart.
Glue that onto the bottom of the rock, sticking out from the bottom, the top of the heart sticking out where feet would be.
OPTIONAL: Draw a smile with a sharpie.

And Voila! (Yes, Dad, I noted that it is not spelled 'Walla.') There is your pet rock.
IMPORTANT: DON'T FORGET TO NAME IT!
ALSO IMPORTANT: BE CAREFUL WITH THAT HOT GLUE GUN
MORE IMPORTANT: IF YOU ARE NOT ABOVE THE AGE OF 18 YOU SHOULD PROBABLY ASK FOR PERMISSION TO USE THE GLUE GUN. AND GET THE ANSWER YES BEFORE YOU USE IT. JUST PUTTING THAT OUT THERE SO IF THERE IS ANY PARENTS THAT ARE OUT THERE... DON'T GET MAD AT ME!
-Susanna:)

Woohooooo!

1/1/2014

It's 2014. What.

I've been wearing these sweats since last year.
Pun. Pun. Pun. He-he. I'm so boring.
Did you do anything special last night? Are you doing anything special tonight? Comment, comment, comment!
He-he. I'm hyper to the maximum.
-Susanna:)

Closing 2013: Opening 2014.

12/31/2013

Tomorrow starts a blank book...

I'm going to relive my year of 2013. This may or may not be long.

JANUARY, 2013.

The month that I almost lost my mind in public school. This was also the month that I got taken out of that place. January 21st marks the date!
So therefore, January, the start of a new year, last year, was one of the best months of 2013.

FEBRUARY, 2013.

Not only was this month holding Valentines day, but Valentines day is my little sister's Birthday, and in 2013, she turned SIX! February was also the month where we came back to the Church that we used to go to. I am so happy we are back, and if we leave that church again, somebody may get a broken bone or two(;

MARCH, 2013.

I don't know. Was this month special? Yes, because God made it, and because SOMEBODY had a birthday in this month(:

APRIL, 2013.

April holds Easter, which is when Christians celebrate Jesus rising from the dead. Therefore, THAT is important! April is also my little brother's birthday month, in which he turned EIGHT! Still can't believe that.

MAY, 2013.

I don't know. Was this month special? Yes, because God made it, and because SOMEBODY had a birthday in this month(:

JUNE, 2013.

My Mom's birthday month:) It's none-of-your-business what age SHE turned(:

JULY, 2013.

I don't know. Was this month special? Yes, because God made it, and because SOMEBODY had a birthday in this month(:

AUGUST, 2013.

YEAH! MY BIRTHDAY MONTH! I turned 12 in 2013(: I don't like the summer much, though. It's fun, really fun, but it's way too hot! Does anybody agree with that?

SEPTEMBER, 2013.

My Dad's and my older Brother's birth month. My older brother turned 13, (surprising, right?) and my Dad turned... Oh wait! Not telling!

OCTOBER, 2013.

I don't know. Was this month special? Yes, because God made it, and because SOMEBODY had a birthday in this month(:

NOVEMBER, 2013.

Yeah, Thanksgiving!

DECEMBER, 2013.

Yeah, Christmas! And a LOT of snow!

How was your year?

You're going to have two polls to answer(: With the year's end, there comes... POLLS! Ha-Ha!

My favorite season is Fall by far.
2013 was a mix of all of them for me.
THANKS FOR READING, AND I WON'T POST FOR THE REST OF 2013! :)
-Susanna:)

It's Tuesday and This Font is Weird!

12/31/2013

If you don't see a fancy font, I changed it. Sorry. It's too fancy for me!

It's Make-Stuff-Up-Tuesday, and I've actually decided to get rid of that event. It's just not working out. Stories don't get sent in, I'm not great at maintaining stories to tell you, and... It's not a great idea.
So what should the replacement be?

Thanks to you!
-Susanna:)

Bad news.

12/30/2013

Not really that bad...

    I've not the slightest idea what to do for the Talent Thursday I missed, and MAKE STUFF UP TUESDAY is tomorrow! I'm so behind):
    Do you have a new years resolution? Do you believe in new years resolutions? I don't like the idea of it entirely, but I've got a bit, three of which I'm not sharing, and ten of which I will share:
(PART OF MY) NEW YEARS RESOLUTION:
-To do my best in school.
-To do my best in C.A.P.
-To be less rude.
-To complete a whole story by the end of 2014.
-To read my Bible more.
-To be able to do at least 20 consecutive push-ups by the end of 2014.
-To be able to do at least 50 consecutive sit-ups by the end of 2014.
-To be able to keep my room clean!
-To visit this blog daily to keep updated.
and
-To get better at math): !!
    That's my ten, what are yours? (You are allowed to keep three secret, like I did.)
-Susanna:)

I'm back!

12/28/2013

Sorry!

I have what, Talent Thursday AND Make-Stuff-Up-Tuesday to make up for. So this is going to be a long one.
MERRY-LATE-CHRISTMAS, BY THE WAY!

Make-Stuff-Up-Tuesday.

Let's see. The most bizarre story I've ever made up to dodge something would probably be the time I said a bead jumped into my ear when actually I had put it there myself. This was quite a few years ago. We were cleaning my room and I was bored and wasn't having it. I went to the kitchen and I got curious about beads... I put one in my ear to see if it came back out and well, it didn't. I freaked out a little bit and ended up pushing it in further... I ended up having to go to the doctor to get it out of my ear. I was so interesting...

Talent Thursday.

I should have had a lot of time to think about this, but I didn't, so I am at fault for this and I am going to have to get back to this when I have an idea... I'm at a loss.
Thanks.
-Susanna:)

I've got to put this out there.

12/23/2013

What I found today.

    Today, I found music by this amazing Christian 'pop' singer, Britt Nicole. And to be honest, it has blessed me in a lot more ways than I had ever imagined it would. I've heard her song 'Gold' before, but I listened to it deeper and I also found another song, called 'Headphones.'
    I would link them for you, but I can't. Some issue there. I'll look into it. But anyhow,
    I know that Britt Nicole will never see this and more than likely never even see these words, I love her. So much. She is my new favorite singer, my inspiration. My singing hero. And she is just purely amazing.
    Every day, I get feeling so absolutely low. And it happened today, and I heard that song, Gold, and I was just lifted so high so fast. And I am amazed. God definitely planned this, there is no way that he didn't put this amazing woman's songs in my mind for no reason. I got a new MP3 player today, (Early Christmas Present!) and I have those two songs on it. I am just on Cloud Nine right now!

So shout out to God, and Britt Nicole. :) Shine on everybody, shine on. Here is a piece from 'Headphones':

Anytime you feel alone, put on your headphones
Love, love's coming through your headphones
Anytime you feel alone, put on your headphones
Love, love's coming through your headphones
L-o-o-ove is coming through your headphones
L-o-o-ove is coming through your headphones

So keep your head up high and dust off your shoulders
It's alright, no, it's not over
Love is here, it came to dry up all your tears
Oh, can you feel it
Gotta believe it, gotta see it
By your side in the middle of the night
So keep your head up high and the dust off your shoulders
It's alright, no it's not over.
-Susanna:)

I want to...

12/23/2013

I want to write something.

I want to write a story. Something, just to be creative. I'm not sure. I've never had this feeling before as to just want to write like this. So I'm going to have to figure it out.

-Susanna:)

Check it out.

12/22/2013

Check out this song.

-Susanna:)

Oh, my gosh!

12/19/2013

I can't believe I did that.

I didn't post Tuesday or Wednesday! I missed Make-Things-Up-Tuesday! Well, I'm going to MAKE UP for missing it! (Get it? No? Okay.)

The story that I chose on Tuesday was sent in by Emma, my little sister. This is it:
"A yellow piggy bank fell into a big puddle of mud it ate a potato and the mud came off of it. Then fireworks came and it was back to normal. He was just a normal pig like that."

So congratulations on getting that one in there, Emma!

News from Yesterday.

I went to a Christmas Party last night for the BEST PROGRAM I'VE EVER BEEN IN, CIVIL AIR PATROL, and I had made a desert for the baking contest that they had had. (I made Classic Spritz Cookies.) And I came in THIRD PLACE! I won a 15-Dollar Gift card for Wall-Mart. Cool!

Remember what Today is?

It's Talent Thursday! :)
So for today, I'll tell you something that is great for creativity and assignments alike. They are called lap books.
Here is what you need.

A file folder
The ability to fold.

OH - KAY! Here we go. Here are your steps.

Take your file folder.
There should be three lines in the middle of the file folder. Fold it the flaps to the very middle line. Make sure the fold is secure.

Here are your optional items:

A pencil, pen, or marker.
Scissors
Glue

And that is it! Cut and paste information into the file folder or write the information down manually. And walla! There is your lap book. They are super easy and fun to make.

-Susanna:)

Absolute Nightmare

12/16/2013

I won't talk about it much.

I had an absolute horrible dream last night. And I won't go into to much detail about it, but I feel like posting so this is a good reason...

Well the whole dream was about my good friend Dominick. I woke up crying from it, but in the morning until now I completely forgot about it. Apparently, my friend had died in the dream and I had known why.

Because he didn't just die. He wasn't killed by anybody except himself. It was the second-worst nightmare I've ever had. So just.. Wow. Wow.

-Susanna:)

It is done.

12/16/2013

I have chose the mini-story!

My little sister came up with the mini-story for Make-Stuff-Up Tuesday.
-Susanna:)

Hi. I'm Susanna, the author of this blog. This blog is proof that no matter what people may think, being home schooled doesn't ruin you, in fact, I believe that I am thriving. So if you are a nay-sayer to home schooling... Wake up and smell the roses!
