It flails again

Sorry about the recent silence on my part, I will make no excuses for my behavior.

BUT

That's not to say that nothing blog related has permeated my life!


For one.....

SHIRTS HAVE BEEN MADE
Mmmyes, they have. Beautiful, beautiful shirts.


And also, a report on the past week, which has been chock full of ADVENTURES.


So to chronicle the adventures, we must start a week and a half ago, on a rather average SUNDAY MORNING which was not quite so average...

...because dresses were shopped for, which was mentioned by Hawk.


On second thought, maybe they weren't.
--------------
Next came stencilling, a night on the town, and a Night Rally on Thursday

Of course, in a one street downtown like ours, there's not much you can do....

But there were some noodles and a delicious cupcake split three ways.

As well as exacto knives.


And some rather angry seniors. (Take that as you will)

The football field is a comfortable place. When you roll around on it, you don't get rashes like you do on normal grass. Just lots of astroturf.
---------

Friday was a football game (wonder of wonders), in which there was a potluck with Tuna Helper and Asian bread and smoothies, and rather more raucous laughter than there was football watching.

---------

Saturday was the culmination of the past weeks' festivities, an event known as RETURNAMATION.

Colloquially known as Homecoming.

Quail miraculously found a dress in the morning, then lazed about. Hawk arrived in the afternoon, and many wacky hijinks were had involving duct tape and facial powdery-type stuff.

There was some dinner and there was some dancing (read: awkward flailing) and there were some cheesy group pictures:


--------------
That's about it for that week

THIS WEEK:
Shirts made! Pictures enclosed!
Wondercup competition tomorrow! WE WILL BE THERE, AND WE WILL BE SQUARE (read: awesome)
HALLOWEEN.

The shirts turned out fabulously.


Quail's shirt was made first, and there was some miscalculation about the concentration of bleach being used, which resulted in some more bleach than was intended. There was also a dearth of black spray paint, so acrylic paint was used.
Hawk's shirt turned out much better, after some lessons were learned.

The concentration of bleach was higher, so that the shirt wouldn't get wet and start bleeding. Also, vinegar was sprayed on the shirt soon after the bleach so the bleach wouldn't spread too far.

All in all, success!

The backs have yet to be done, and are in the process of being designed.

For now, we must STUDY FOR WONDERCUP. Time to dredge up long-lost information from within the deepesst recesses of our minds!

Quail out.

Festivities and such

So, at the behest of Hawk, Quail shall now enlighten the beloved readers as to upcoming attractions.

First in a line of many is a birthday party for a good friend. Quail is sad she cannot attend because of a concert that she must participate in. Hopefully the festivities will last long enough into the night for her to drop in secretly and silently like an owl.
Quail is sure that Hawk will have a large amount of fun.

Ze second is, wonders of wonders, a shopping trip to buy dresses!
An unusual occurrence, to say the least. At any rate, much hilarity will be had.
Also, Quail is going grocery shopping, which is bound to yield some interesting results. Mmmmyessss.

Ornery Eyrie shirts are also being MADE on THURSDAY

And then is the Homecoming dance and dinner. Quail feels that the dinner will be more fun than the dance, but that is probably just pessimism at work. Hawk gets to live up to her moniker, at the very least!
Oh, and a week of homecoming festivities, but that's a trivial point.

AND THEN


AND THENNNNNNN


THE EVENT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR

HALLOWEEN

Rave time :D

A Bit of Bragging.

School is finally getting busy. The competitions and the parties are rolling in.

Hawk and Quail partook in Round One of the Wondercup Challenge as members of Team Dysprosium.


Their score qualifies them for Round TWO, which takes place in two weeks! Excitement.

Meanwhile, next week is homecoming week. Fraught with night rallies, football games (Hawk is rather excited about this one, having won a free ticket from a raffle for biking to school), and dinners before dances.

After THAT..is Halloween.
Hawk feels that Quail will perhaps gift followers with a description of the expected festivities. Hawk does not want to hog ALL the good news :).

Hawk worries whether she will have time to do her work, though. But a little fun never killed anyone.
