New Blog Title!

S has picked what I wanted her to pick! (Besides her nose.) She chose the blog title 'N's Voice'. That's exactly what I wanted! So sit back and enjoy the changes!

Blog Changes

I'm kind of getting tired of 'The Extremely Amazing Brain of N' as my blog title. First of all, it's kind of way too long, and second of all, brain is kind of a sick word. So what do you pick out of these choices?

1. N's Voice
2. My Voice
3. Diary of a Muslim Girl
4. Lightning Strikes
5. N's De-LIGHT-ful Diary

Use the comment box. I have no other options.

Sorry to DISAPPOINT you, H. If you still want your blog to be exactly like mine...you know what to do.

Inchworms!

We were out of town for ELEVEN days, not ten days. Ummi keeps telling that to everybody. But it's 11 days. I counted. Proof? We left on Friday. Then Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and lastly, Monday. Count all that and you'll get eleven. I guarantee it.

Anyway, last week on Saturday, I went with Ummi, Abi and Z to the Farmer's Market. (This was the day before I got my camera and betta.) So, like, we shopped there, and I bought cotton candy. Then we went to Shahit's store, and then we went to Auntie Saleem's house to get our plants back. Auntie Saleem wasn't home, so we raided and took back our plants. :D There were about four or three red tomatoes on my plant. I got excited when the bell pepper plant got loaded in the van, 'cause that's where I saw the two caterpillar eggs. While we were driving home, Ummi told me to look for caterpillars on the bell pepper plant. There weren't any. However, when we got home, Ummi was watering the plants, and S was peering at the big carrot plant pot. Suddenly...she found an inchworm!!! I thought it was a green grappler, because of the way it moved, but it just seemed to be another old inchworm. I looked harder and found another one! We put these two in Neptune old terrarium. Later that day, they were GONE.

Another day, I found another one. I put it in a jar along with some carrot leaves. Later I found a cocoon around it, along with some turds.

UltraViolet, or UV

My fish, UV, is way more healthier and active than Sunset ever was. But here's the annoying thing about UV. Whenever I come in my room to look at him, he gets all scared and hides under the bridge. Then he turns around and peeks out. It's really annoying. I've got a video of it, I think.
He's getting better and doesn't have to fast anymore, so I can feed him soon. Speaking of fasting, today I'm fasting for one of the Zhul Hijjah days.

Here is a description of UltraViolet:
BODY: Purple and blue
FINS: Purple and pink
FACE: Red
Sounds nice, huh? I still haven't settled on the name yet. My fish is a Veiltail Male.

Here's a description of Z's fish, Cloudy:
BODY: White with blue and black eyespots
FINS: White
FACE: White and pink
Beautiful, right? Z's fish is a Plakat male. We think it glows in the dark, but it doesn't.

Here's a description of S's fish, Iceblaze/Sharkbait:
BODY: Blue, red, white, and purple
FINS: Purple, blue, and white
FACE: Mottled white-ish yellow
Blagh. It's a Crowntail Male. It's all flowy-finned and fancy, like a king. No wonder it's a Crowntail. And S keeps saying it's CUTE. Huh. Even a baby betta's cuter than that old thug.

Evaluation, Hi-Skewl, and more

~The Speech Evaluation~

a Story by N

On Wednesday I had my speech evaluation, the same day S had to go to the High school for a test to see how much she smelled. JK. Right after fajr I had to take a bath and get ready to go. My Mammals Class was at 7 am, and it was 6:30 or so, so I had to rush. After I took a bath and all, I took my class. I was takign the second quarter of the class. Some of the students from last time were not there, but most were. Then, suddenly, the teacher was gone. Everybody was all in chaos, and, to not waste time, one of my friends became the teacher by asking the kids about their favorite mammals and all.Then, like half an hour later, the teacher came back. She said her internet just went out!! LOL. Not. So then, class proceeded, and then we had to go. I was supposed to pack my books last night so as to not waste time, but I was kind of tired, so I didn't do it. What do you think happened? Correct. Scolding. Not scalding. That would have been a possibility, though. So Ummi dropped me off at the place, and then went to the hi-skewl with S.

Fast Forward...

After the evaluation, Abi walked me back to his office. We stopped at Starbucks, where Abi got a drink for free because his birthday was two days ago. He got hot chocolate for me, and then we continued on our way to the office. Question: Why did I choose to drink hot chocolate on a hot day? Well, the evaluation room was cold, so naturally I would want to steam myself a little with the drink.

In the office, Abi passed over the Cookie Crisps cereal and said, "Here, your breakfast," because I told him that I hadn't had breakfast yet. *Sheepish* I drank my hot choc and it steamed my face and made a drop of sweat roll down my neck.

Then Abi gave me my schoolbooks, quite unkindly. :P I did some math, and then when it got boring, I read a book for Literature class.

This is how I sometimes do my math with finger food. If we have cherry tomatoes, I'll grab some and eat one after every question I finish. That's exactly what I did the with the Cookie Crisps cereal. ;D

Well, soon, Abi's phone rang. "Hi, Z!" said Abi.

Ugh, I silently thought. They's here to get meh.

(Speaking of ugh, do you wonder why some people say it like 'ukh' like the kha in Arabic instead of like gha?)

Abi finished the call and said, "They gonna be here in like faav minutes, Newr."

After faav minutes, he said, "I needa pee. Lezgo!"

Then he told me to siap. Boohoo! He put my books in a plastic bag and threw 'em in the trash. (I wish.) What he really did was that he put em in a plastic bag and kindly gave it to me. I wanted to take some last pieces of the cereal, but I didn't want Abi to say "Ehhh, Newr! Laaaa..." So we left the office and abi threw my hot choc cup in the trash, instead of the books. Boohoo!

When we was downstairs, Abi ran into the bathroom and told me to go outside and sit on the bench to wait for Ummi. I read the Redfearn book. It was kinda hard 'cause the sun was right on top of my head. Pretty soon Ummi come driving by, and beeped badly. That's when Abi came out. "Did you see yo' mom?" he said. "Yeah, she just passed by," I said, pointing for no reason at the empty road. Eventually Ummi meekly came driving back. I clambered into the front seat and put the plastic book bag at my feet. After Ummi and Abi discussed some things, we went to the high school to pick up S.

Bwahhahhaaa.

We went in a building and saw S in the first room sittin' at a desk. She seemed to be looking right at us. I grinned, but I guessed she was too scared to grin back. Who would grin for no reason in class, anyway? A weirdo, that's who. Soon S was done and she came out. When S was opening to door to go, her hands were so cold, compared to my sweaty ones.

S said she was hungry. I told her how I got my hot choc, and she said, "Lucka." And then I told her how I got to eat the cookie cereal. "Aww," she said mournfully.

When we got home, H showed us a movie he had made on the iPad about his science project. It was SO interesting.

While I made lunch, I saw some pancakes on a plate next to the stove.  I took one and kindly gave it to S, because she was hungry. After lunch was ready I yelled, "It's lunchtime!"

"Yay!" said S.

The end.

The Virtues of Zhul Hijjah

Ummi assigned us all an assignment to do for Zhul Hijjah. S has to find the ayah in the Quran about Hajj; I have to find the virtue of Zhul Hijjah, and H has to do something that I forgot. Our works are all due tomorrow, which is Thursday. So my works is here, right in my amazing blog. So there.

The Virtues of Zhul Hijjah

FASTING: The Prophet sallAllahu 'allayhi wa sallam said, "whoever fasts the day of Arafat will have his sins expiated for two years (the past year and the coming year)."

Do not cut hair or nails during the ten days if you are the one slaughtering the animal. This is for men of course.

You can recite the takbir during all the ten days, at all times, day or night until the Eid prayer.

There. Done.

Well, where ELSE would you put it, anyway?

Eid al-Adha

Eid al-Adha, insha'Allah will be next week on Friday! Ummi has an Islamic calendar, and it says just that! On my Gregorian calendar, it says it will be on Thursday, beginning at sundown. Yay. We get to celebrate it at sundown. How fun does that sound? xD Personally, I can't wait! Here's my bragging right: I can watch an animal be slaughtered without wincing, closing my eyes, or crying. But silently inside I feel REALLY sorry for the animal.

Here's a nasheed video about Hajj.
