Twinset, Chapter 1

When Marrietta Spears first stopped reading books, the old gossips of every town anywhere remotely near Leichardt, Australia began to talk, the reason for that was this: Marrietta Spears was famous, so famous that anyone you care to ask will know her name, because of reading, so, when she stopped reading, everyone had to have their own say on the matter.

Some people were perfectly entitled to have such opinions, such as her mother, whose opinion was
"Perhaps my girly, has read to many books,"
Or her Fathers opinion that
"Maybe, Marrietta has read all the suitable books for her age."
But so many opinions were not entitled at all, such as Marrietta's twin sister -who most people reffer to as her younger sister, given the difference between them-who's opinion was that
"Mari might have been kidnapped and replaced by a nonreading imposter.'
Even Old Mrs Hibbit gave her opinion that
"Marrietta is just sick of being fame, famous"

Most opinions, such as Old Mrs Hibbits, could be proven wrong on first discussion, for example: Old Mrs Hibbits, because Marrietta was the most spoilt, fame loving girl you will ever imagine. She was popular (with the adults, at least) and pretty, with her curly blond lock and shining blue eyes, quite the opposite to her dear sister, who had mouse brown hair and equally mouse brown eyes.

Anyway, on the second day that Marrietta stopped reading, her parents world fell apart. For Marrietta's parents were incredibly, amazed with their daughter in everything she did, and they, in their own ways had made Marrietta famous. So famous, infact, that family vidioes were beingdug out of storage, edited out was Marrietta's sister Henrietta, so only Marrietta remained.

Marrietta's poor sister Henrietta, comanly reffered to as Henry, when she was not being
"The famous Spears childs little sister."
Henry grew up a highly deprived child, with the heavy weight on her shoulders, knowing the world preffered her sister to her. Henry grew up going to public schools and spending as much time out of the house as possible. this was her parents descision, because although the twins looked and acted so differently, Henry was still often mistaked for entirely different, and very spoilt, Marrietta. Marrietta had gone to private skills her whole life, and was her parents pride and joy. Both of the girls schools thought they were catering for an only child.

Princess Diaries (How he hates it)

On the weekend I read Princess Diaries, Mia goes 4th, I started reading Princess Diaries when I found the first book in the series. The first book in the series happened to have a very nice bright pink, eye catching cover. The Princess Diaries are about a teenage girl, who turns 13, and as a birthday present, her parents tell her the truth. They tell her how her dead is a king, they tell her she is his illegitimate heir of the throne in Genovia. The rest of the series is about how she copes with this discovery. I have read up to number 8, but unfortunatly my library dosn't have number 9. My brother and I have a deal. If I read Specky Magee 6, Solomon will read Princess Diaries the 4th. Specky Magee is a series about a smart, football maniac, who is Solomon's hero. Both of us feel we have to read the others book, but neither of us want to.

Twinset

My dad told me to write my story on my blog, so here it is: Twinset (The Blerb

Once, a girl was killed.

Why? I cannot say. Who by? I also, cannot. 

For the killing was only on the inside, and not on the outside.

I do not even know weather she knew she was dead.

But one thing I know for sure, she definitely knew she was dieing.

The Last Laugh

Today I went to Joanna's birthday party. Joanna turned 11, and she got a laptop!?!?! At the party, because of the bad weather, we were inside. We watched a twisted fairy tale about the 3 little pigs, we played pass the parcel  and Jenny tried to do a major operation on me. Unfortunately for her, my brothers had taught me a wrist twist that makes it impossible for anyone to hold onto my hand. Unfortunately for me, the wrist trick doesn't work on adults. My dad was trying to understand the trick but because of his wide hands it didn't work. I had a good time at the party and proved I am competent at pretending I play piano, I also got to drop Joanna's rabbit and managed not to have a major operation. Major Operations are when 2 or more girls from my class force me to lie down and they pretend (they don't have to try very hard) to be evil scientists trying to make me laugh. I am very ticklish and they make scientific observations a
like 
"She seems to laugh if we poke her foot?" 

My friends are always biting back laughter, but one day, I will have the last laugh!!!!!

We've Lost the Cover!!!!

I just finished reading Harry Potter 4, for the 10Th time. My dad told me to write a review about the book with no cover. Harry Potter 4 is one of those rare  book's where fantasy and fiction interlap sufficiently so that you find yourself believing it, while knowing that it couldn't happen. I Harry Potter 4, J.K. Rowling toggles with the relationships between the characters, as well as having big issues like gambling. The best bit is that the whole book is described from a third person point of view,  the third person seems to be one of Harry's closest friends, You can see yourself in the story.  This book is a work of art, and it doesn't seem to matter that we've lost the cover.

Princesses Bronte, Remi, Violet and Harriet

Today we went to the Adeneys house, they have the best cubby-houses ever. They also have the best dress up room! It is very messy and has lots of things to step on. But there are jewelled dresses in different colours, maniac animal outfits, bags and shoes! It was amazing, just right for 4 girls. The Adeneys are 4 girls with fantastic princess names: Bronte, Remi, Violet (Letti) and Harriet (Harri). 

"Princess Bronte, Princess Remi, Princess Violet and Princess Harriet!" 

They get on very well and play very good games, the game we played today was the lead up to a wedding. Then we did the wedding. Princess Bronte and Prince Abraham were getting married!!!!! They avoided kissing, because Bronte (9) and Abraham (7) weren't that serious. On urging by Solomon, they did. They kissed for  a second, then 2, then 5, then 7 then 10, then a record of 15 seconds they were going to try for 20, but they got stopped before they could. They then tried frenching, but they found that disgusting.

They were then told off for it with the cheerful remark of 

"You didn't tell us you were getting married!" from both Mums.
Today was the first day back to school, I went to school feeling tired, and wishing I had another week not worrying about tomorrow, not doing homework in the afternoons, getting up at 9 every day, but no, by 9 I was at school, sitting in the sun, waiting for the bell.  When the bell rang and my class walked up into our classroom, our teacher lead us to our desks, and started with a remainder about those projects we had handed in on the last day of school, she then gave us a spelling test, while everyone searched for the things that they were sure were there somewhere. We then went to our music and drama class, it was school again. I did get to see my friends, an I was rid of my brothers for 6 hours. So that made it about even. But to get to school, I had to put my glasses back on, I hate wearing my glasses and if anyone asks what was the worst day of your life? I answer "The day I got glasses". I have to where my glasses at school or I can't see the board, I have to where them to school or I miss the bus, everything school related comes with thick, blue glasses.

2 boys, 1 girl

Today we had some people over, we had 2 of Solomons friends, and their little sister. 2 boys, 1 girl. We started with me and my 2 brothers. 2 boys, 1 girl. At the end we had 4 boys, 2 girls. 2 on 4, 1 on 2, just like at school, 20 on 10. We learnt some life skills today, we learnt:
     a) how to spray paint
  and b) how to tackle
Both are very important life skills.  Everyone sprayed their board in multiple colours, then we tackled each other rugby style. Everyone got hurt, everyone had fun.

The Sleeping Princess

My mum decided to take a baby on loan. She went to a friends house, packed up everything she needed (with the friends help) and took the baby home. Last night she stayed up with the Sleeping Princess, she fed her at 3am, very loudly. We were going to have a garage sale, but because of the Sleeping Princess we cannot, as everyone is to tired. The Sleeping Princess has a reputation of not sleeping. My mum has a reputation for making babies sleep. They were made for this 24 hours. My mum won, and the Sleeping Princess has just gone to sleep. My mums final statement to the sleeping princess was 'Cry-baby.'

 The Sleeping Princess has finally met her match, but like other supposedly defeated warriors, I expect she is planning a comeback.

If you've been reading, you might want to know about my family.

I have a Mum, who on 1st reading my blog, thought the sleeping princess was her, and is called Mum, or De Best mum in De House .

I have a Dad, who set up my blog for me, and has about 5 computers, and is called Dad, or De Best Dad in De house..

I have a brother who is 7 and is very cute and is not very cute when he is mad and is called Fluffle.

Driving the Car

At Grans we went to the cemetery to see where our dead grandfather was buried. while there my mum decided to teach us a lesson, on driving. I went 1st, and although I had to keep slamming on the brakes, it went without incident. Then my first brother had a go, he went much faster then me, but then he accidentally crashed into a tree. My second brother managed to steer the car, but because he was so short (130cm) mum did the gears and brakes. all he had to do was steer. it was an amazing experience, but my dad, on hearing about it, was not so happy. Luckily, Our Uncle Dave came by to fix the dent in our car.

Scrubbing the Car

I just got back from Grans. I had a good time. We (my brothers, Mum, Gran and I) got to polish the car. My Mum was talking about how she used to do this on weekends,  my first brother was asking for tinted windows and my other brother had mysteriously disappeared, a wise move, as we learnt how hard it was to polish a car. My first brother and I scrubbed, waited, recked our clothes and (his) shoes. Then we went out with Neville for lunch. When we got back, guess what, it had rained! My first brother and mum could actually see what the difference was after the car was polished, and they were miffed about the rain. I was quite annoyed, I couldn't tell the difference of the polish, and when it rained the only difference I could see was the tiny droplets on top. We then went to the opp-shop and my second brother bought a scoot-board (as my mum has named it) half a scooter, half a skate-board. I had a good time, but i am never going to polish a car again.
