Under the Skin

I am a big heroes kind of person. So, I have made a slideshow. With my historical heroes. Just so you know, there are some people I revere, but did not make it through all the hero stamina tests in order to make it into my slideshow. These are people that I find showing courage, faith, compassion or some other value I find highly important. If you have any questions about why someone's in the slideshow (or for some people, who they are), email or comment and I'll blog back why. So, let me know what you guys think of it. It took me a little bit to get every little piece right and work out the bugs, it being my first slideshow I've made of this type. I like doing it though, so maybe I'll make some more some time. I'll definitely post them if I do. I was having all these issues trying to get this thing up here, before realizing that I'd saved it as a MPEG2, which isn't compatible with blogspot. So, yeah. But I've converted it to a .wmv. If anyone wants me t...

Okay, so the title is the repetitive line of a French Christmas Carol. It translates to "Winds of winter, winds of winter." So, here in Seattle, we're bracing ourselves for ANOTHER wind storm. According to weather.com, Woodinville (which is where I live) is currently experiencing 28-36 mile winds from the SSW. Clallam Bay has undergone 90+ mph winds this morning. The wind storm isn't supposed to be as bad as last year's mayhem, but it shall be an adventure. However, the scary thing about last year's mayhem, we had sang the Vent D'Hiver song in French class the day before the evening's wind festitivites. Therefore, we can basically blame it on my French class.

Hey there! I don't have much to say aujourd'hui (that's French for today, but I think it has the most amazing sound to it--much better than today, but I thought I'd check in with you all. So, today, I did the regular Saturday stuff (namely the day of violin lessons), and then Caleb and I ran a day of fun in downtown Woodinville. One of the things that we did was we went through the turny door on Red Robin. I have never been to Red Robin, but I saw that they had a turny door, and I think it's a pretty awesome door. So we just went straight through and back out. Once we were out of it, I realized the door was still going. It was an automatic turny door, and I we had been pushing. Whoops. Anyways, I also thought I'd let y'all know, that my parents didn't name me Hannah when it was a popular name. It wasn't like Muriel or anything. It was, in fact, #30 in 1990 when I was born, and #29 in 1991 when I was almost born. AND! Hannah spent some time...
