Endless Wonder

So if you're wondering why I haven't really posted anything here in a while it's because my vertigo has made a comeback and I've been feeling really, really awful all this past week. I've basically spent four days being unable to do anything but sit around feeling miserable because doing anything else makes me feel dizzy. Like walking, for example. Why, body, why. Why do you do this to me. But anyway, I'm feeling slightly better right now and I thought I'd write a post on here just to give myself something to do. I don't usually write game reviews on here but today I'm going to be reviewing "Poptropica Worlds"! Poptropica Worlds is a new version of the game "Poptropica" which I've already talked about a bit in this post  and this one . I won't go into details but I've basically been playing this game since I was about seven and I still love it - though I kind of lost interest over the past year because the game wasn...

I can’t believe my eyes. After so many endless months of travel, after wishing we’d finally get there, at last it’s within sight. Earth . It looks so beautiful from here. A brilliant blue globe, covered in wisps of something white. I don’t care what the others have told me about the problems that this planet has – to me, the Earth looks perfect. And soon it will be my home. I turn away from the window to tell my sister to come and see, only to find her fast asleep, sprawled out on her bed, the book she’d been reading still clutched in her hands. I feel a pang. She’s grown so much lately. Deciding not to wake her, I turn back to the view from the window, drinking in the sight of the planet. After seeing nothing from the windows but empty space for so long, I can’t take my eyes off the Earth. I try to imagine what it will be like once we land. Will the inhabitants of the Earth accept us? Will we be able to live there in peace? It has to be better than what we lef...

I've recently developed a new passion. Recently, like last night recently. This new passion is writing haiku poems, which are short poems that are seventeen syllables long; five in the first line, seven in the second and five in the last. Basically, I just happened to be looking through an old notebook of mine from when I was younger, and I found a couple of these poems that I'd written when I was about nine. I had to write them as part of an English lesson, and they weren't very good, so I thought, maybe I could re-write these? So I started thinking about it and that's how it all started; I started thinking up other haikus (is that even the plural of haiku, I'm too lazy to look it up heh) and basically spent all day today with my head in the clouds thinking up new poems. Typical me. So I thought I might as well share some of my madness  poems on this blog, hope you like them! I wrote these about seasons: Cloudy, dreary sky Trees turning pretty colours I ...

Yo my peeps. (Trying to be cool again.) Welcome to part two of playing Astro-Knights Island! (If you haven't read part one, you can find it here .) ... Okay, I have a confession to make. A pretty big confession. Last weekend, on Saturday evening, I was tired after a long day of dance lessons and I sat down in front of my laptop and... I really, really wanted to play Poptropica again, but I didn't feel like writing a blog post at the same time, so... I kept playing Astro-Knights Island, without writing about what I was doing or taking screenshots. I know, I know, I'm sorry. But never mind, because I'll just write a quick summary of the story so far. You'll probably remember that at the end of the last post I'd just been asked by the king and queen of Arturus to find the princess, who had been kidnapped by invaders from outer space. I wasn't sure what to do, so after that I kind of wandered around a bit, being nosy. I managed to get inside the princess...

Hey guys, how's it going? I'm fine, thanks for asking. Well, a little depressed because it's May and I had to wear my coat earlier and we practically haven't seen the sun in a week - hey, weather, didn't you hear?! IT'S MAY, IT'S MEANT TO BE SUNNY AND WARM! Anyway - If I start blogging about my life this is going to get super depressing because virtually the only good thing that has happened all week is that I bumped into an old friend yesterday, which was kind of cool and unexpected, and that I met up with a friend today and that was quite fun. Aside from that, my life has been an endless whirlpool of studying and, well, more studying... Okay, there are three pigeons sitting on my garden fence and I swear to God they have been there since this morning. There were three pigeons sitting there while I was studying. And now they're back. Like, what the heck are they even doing. They keep flying off and coming back and just sitting there and kind of look...
