Note: If you want to know the order my siblings are in and their ages and genders, you can go to this page. It tells all. :)
Let's see... the 31st of October was my mum's birthday! I made her chocolate cake and my aunt and uncle came over and made their ice cream! Theeen the first of November was rather eventful! First, we went shooting at something called Project Appleseed (perhaps you've heard of it?) in the morning, although only Dad, Dysprosium, Vanadium, Nitrogen and I went. Then in the evening, I went to a Halloween party hosted at our church, along with Mum, Carbon, Potassium, and Argon, which was quite fun!
The next thing that happened that was actually exciting was I almost fainted on the seventh of November! Most of my siblings and I went to get our eye exams (yes, we all have glasses... practically. Meinerium doesn't, and I expect he'd want me to make that known, so there it is. :) Also, Argon doesn't have glasses either, and though I'm pretty sure Potassium needs glasses as well, she never wears any, so I guess she doesn't need any. But Vanadium nearly never wears his glasses either, so it's basically just confusing. :D ), and I needed to have my pupils dilated because my mum had weak retinas when she was younger, and it's hereditary, so she wanted that checked out, especially since it was cheaper or free to have it fixed if I was under 18, which I was at the time. After my pupils dilated and the doctor checked for it and told me I was fine, I found that I felt really light-headed and almost like I wanted to throw up. Then Mum gave me this look. One of panic and fear. She told me that my face was getting really pale, and when it got what Mum said was "chalk white", she told me to sit down and put my head in between my knees because I needed to get the blood to rush to my head. Mum has experience with fainting, so she told me that that's what I was about to do. I almost wanted to just stand up and take it just so I could say that I fainted (I may never get another chance!), but I decided to not panic my mom even further and to obey orders. So when we left there, they gave me these sort of sunglasses (but not half as cool) so my eyes would be safe from all the sunlight, but I actually found that it was fine. Oh, by the way, I do have a picture of that!
My brothers told me I looked like an alien. They're so encouraging. :D
Then we had two birthdays - one on the 8th and one on the 10th! Carbon's 9th birthday was on the 8th and... oh! We had cupcakes! I'm not sure what flavor they were, but goodness, they were fantastic! I'm almost positive Titanium made them! Titanium actually organized the whole party. :) Mum's not very good at that sort of thing. So anyway, we invited several of her friends over and I only really remember one game which was like bingo but with flowers! I was the caller. :) Also, there were prizes, which were headbands with a flower on them and flower clips! Everyone got one. :) I'm not sure what else we did, but I'm sure Carbon had a fantastic day!
Then Meinerium had his twelfth birthday! He's so big now, I can hardly believe how quickly that happened. :) To my memory, we didn't do anything special for his birthday, although I believe I made him a chocolate cake. (Is there any other kind? :D )
Then we got to keep my brother Bryant (he's biologically my cousin, but we all think of him as a brother) from very late the first of December to too early (anytime he leaves is too early) on the fifth. :) I had much fun during his visit. He gave me some tips on juggling, and bought me a book so I could learn more while he's away!
Next was Christmas! :) We got Branzah (that's my sister Titanium and her husband, we combine their names) that year! They trade off between us and Titanium's in-laws. :)
Oh, and our tree wasn't a tree this year because we couldn't get one, so we just set up Christmas lights in the shape of a Christmas tree and added decorations! :)
Now I suppose I'll move on to Nitrogen's 14th birthday, on the 4th of January this year! I can hardly believe that kid is 14 already. Goodness, I love him. :)
So I guess a lot more things have happened than I thought I remembered... :D Going through it like this puts it into perspective! Oh, by the way, for a good while now, I think since November or December last year, I've been planning to participate in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) for my first time this year! Along with a friend's help, I've been putting together the world and soon, I hope to plan a plot or something! :) I'm very excited. Did I mention I like writing? :D
Potassium turned 7 on the 15th of January! I actually don't remember what we did... although I know she got a lot of gum, because in my family, when you turn seven, then you're old enough to chew gum, so seven is the year of gum! :D It's very exciting.
Then Argon turned 4 on the 29th of January! (Yeah, we have three January babies. It's kinda crazy. :) ) Goodness, what a sweet girl she is. :) I can't believe she's four years old already!
Vanadium's sixteenth birthday was on February 8th! He got his driver's license... I'm quite proud of him, but considering that I don't have my license yet makes me a bit envious, admittedly. It's just, I'm older... and he even learned to ride a bike and a motorcycle before me! I feel like he did a lot of mature things like that before me... :D At least I'm likely to get married before him, though. Not that I'm implying anything, it's just that it seems like girls get married at an earlier age than guys aaand I'm two years older... so. :D But it would be hilarious if he got married before me as well! :D
Let's seeee... I think that covers all the birthdays! So on the first day of spring, I decided to go out and have a tea party with my little sisters, Carbon, Postassium, and Argon! That was fun. :) I have a tea set, so we used that, although we had Argon use her plastic tea set for two reasons: one, I didn't have enough cups. Two, Argon is only four and I wasn't going to trust her with my china tea set. :D So I have a couple pictures from this!
That was quite a fun day! :) I might make it annual, but we'll see. What was nice was that it was actually warm out!
Okay, so it's currently 10:18 at night, and because I still have a good bit to say (mostly, if not all, about my birthday and thereabouts), I think I'm going to end this post here considering its length already and do a completely different one for my birthday! :) Good day for now!
