Banksy

 Hi everyone! Wait... Is that one word or two? Nah... I don't really care. But anyway! My mum showed me this AWESOME artist called Banksy. Well, not really an artist... But a graffitest. Uh. Does that word even exist? But anyway, he is really cool! And my mum showed me this book and there were pictures of all these awesome graffiti. And there was this one where he snuck into a zoo and painted stones and stuff on the rocks in the enclosure. But it's not like vandalism. It's like REAL art. And I got ticked off when like some of his stuff got washed away in three days. But it's sooo cool! Who could destroy this? Who?

See this one with the guys with the banana-guns? Well, I think that some thugs totally covered it with silly writing and stuff. And then he came back and washed it away, drew it again. But this time the men were dressed as bananas and holding guns. He he. And he also walks into museums and puts random paintings up on the wall that he did. Like spoofs of actual paintings. I want to see some of his work up close!
     
But the catch is... No one knows who he is. He's like a ninja or whatever. Because I think he doesn't want to be famous or something along those lines...

Well, I hoped you liked my post.

I'm in LOVE! Wait... Is that werid?

OK. Any of my friends know that I am (quite literally) OBSESSED with a book called Skulduggery Pleasant. Created by my God since 2010, Derek Landy. I wanna meet you so badly! When will you learn that I NEED to meet you! WHY? But anyway, last year when DEATH BRINGER (the 7th book) came into all of our lovely bookshops I noticed something... The books were held in a card board cut out of... Wait for it... SKULDUGGERY HIM SELF! And when I saw that cardboard cut out of my hero I needed it, like, on that day. So since I am VERY welcomed to my local bookshop (They let me in the secret room! Full of books that are not even released yet!) I asked them if I could own this... There is no words for how perfect it is... They said: "Yes" and I was all like WHOOP! As the weeks drifted past I finally was able to bring him home. So now he sits in my room with all the series stuffed into him.
I LOVE HIM!

Uh HUH! (I'm dancing...)

As most of you know... The awesome novel written by Suzanne Collins (I love you! Not as much as Derek Landy though...) The Hunger Games is soon to be a MOVIE!!! Anyway... Me and my sister are avid readers of the series and yesterday night went to a The Hunger Games quiz night at our favourite book shop.
There were eight teams. I was team five, Chloe, (Ugh... God) my mother and I. It was almost  a test kinda thing. Where you wrote down the answers on a little piece of paper.

The score in total was sixty. These MASSIVE Hunger Games fans won. They go 60 out of 60... But we came...

SECOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our score was 58 out of 60. which is still pretty good!!!
Now all I hope is that there's a Skulduggery Pleasant quiz night...
Any way... This is what we won ---------------------->
There! The Hunger Games movie companion! It's AWESOME!

My drawing. I was bored

So, as all my friends know, I like to draw cartoons and stuff. And I was bored today because I had no one to talk to after school... (They all went on a camp.) So the only option was to read or draw. I chose draw.

Anyway, here is what I drew. It's like a cat-person thing-a-ma-bob. You know thing-a-ma-bobs a word. Well now you do.

What should her name be? I got the pattern of this really awesome manga book which is out of date or something. But it has such flipping adorable pictures in it! If you ever find one like it... GET IT!
I wanted to post this because on my first EVER post (In 2011!) I said I would 'post some of my drawings here' but I haven't, have I? So I just wanted to show you my little scribble. It was a sketch before, I just inked it.

The Museum

 Yay! I went to the Queensland Museum! Even though it was raining and we had to walk there I still had a great time! It was really scary though, because we went to see the dinosaurs (Sorry! The picture failed!) and these idiots where shaking the dinosaur! We were just watching it as it wobbled! We thought it was going to collapse. But what was weird was no one seemed to notice...

Here are some pictures took by my talented sister.
The one to your right is of a bunch or (WAH!) stuffed birds. They were amazingly pretty. And also the owls. I like the one which is just looking down at you like a stalker. Hehe.

Down here is of a awesome vintage car. I forgot what type it was but it said it on this plaque thing-a-ma-bob, it was really old and the paint was cracking and it had this awesome old radio inside with awesome leather seats and it looked so awesome. I want a car like that when I'm like eight-teen or something.

It was a lot of fun!!! I can't wait to go there when the 'Mummy' exhibit comes on. I despratly want to see that. Oh! And one last thing: The Museum looks different because it got a renovation because of the floods. I think...
