Hello Again!

  Well, this is seriously embarrassing.  I haven't posted in over a month.  And I feel so incredibly terrible.

  But I always say that I don't want to focus on the fact that I went missing.  I want to focus on the fact that I'm back!

  So, I still haven't figured out a good way to get my pictures from Bobert {that's the Canon Rebel T3's name, if you were wondering} on to my blog, but I have found a good way to post some pictures from my phone into my post and then write the post on my laptop, which is very much appreciated!  So, I will have pictures to show you guys, finally!

  If you're a competitive dancer, you would know that it's competition season!  If you guys have read my dance story, then you know that I compete with one dance, just starting this year.  That one dance is production.  Lots of studios have a production number, and it's basically a huge dance with girls of all ages in it.  It has a theme, and is usually made up of a bunch of different songs.  The production dances I've seen have been anywhere from five to fifteen minutes, and the length requirements are different at each competition.

  Anywhoozles, this year, our theme is Alice in Wonderland, and I'm a Mad Hatter!  We did very well for our first competition of the season, and ended up with High Gold, which is the second-highest "ranking".  We still have one more competition for this specific number, and that's in April, I do believe.

  In other news, our last day of school is officially June sixth, which completely stinks.  Most people will be on summer break by then, but no, we'll be stuck in hot, sticky, classrooms.  Yipee.

  I know I'm kind of jumping around from topic to topic, but I just wanted to say that my blog really needs a facelift.  For serious, guys, my blog is so boring to me.  I can do things like headers, but I want to do so much more with my blog and I just don't know how.  If you have any ideas that could possibly help me, they'd be appreciated.  ;)

  So, I am going to revamp the blog as much as I can and hopefully make it more exciting!  I promise you I have all kinds of things to post about, so those will be coming!

xoxo,

Carolyn

New DESIGN! :D

  Hey y'all!  :D  As you can probably tell, I just redesigned my blog!  As much as I loved the old design, I felt like it was very summery, and with the seasons a-changing {XD}, I decided to change the look up, too.  :]  So, I just used this lovely salmon-y color that I absolutely adore and used it in a couple places as accents, and other wise just used gray.  XD  But yes, that's all I have to say at the moment!  Please comment telling me what you think of the design!  ;]

xoxo,
Carolyn

A Special Thank You!

  If you can't already tell, my blog looks so very different right now!  And why is that?  The ever-so-lovely Jeneca designed my blog for me!  <3  LOVE YOU SO MUCH, GIRLYPOO!  This is the prettiest my blog's ever looked, I think.  :]  The yellow is so summery, and it's my favorite color, so . . . it's perfect.  Thank you, gracias, merci . . . in whichever language you like. ;]

  Now, with this lovely new design, I made two new headers that are summery and go along with the colors well.  Which one do you prefer?

  This first one has four summer pictures {that I adore, might I add} that I took last year with "Truly, Utterly, Carolyn" in the blue and yellow of my design and then "utterly me" in gray.

  I've been kind of imagining this header up for a long time.  I also took these pictures last year and thought they would make a cute header.  So, all pictures are in a Poloroid frame with "Truly, Utterly, Carolyn" in my blue and yellow.  :]

  I think I'll stick with my first header for a while, and maybe switch off to the second if I get bored with my current one.

  Two days 'til school's out, no school tomorrow!  :D  WOOT, WOOT!

Lots of Love and Lollipops, Too,
Carolyn

  This post that you're reading right now is my official one hundredth post.  And I don't want to be cliche and cheesy, but this is a very special occasion for me.  And why's that?

  If you didn't already know, last summer, I lost all of my Google accounts.  Yes, all of them.  Know what that means?  The thousands of pictures shared on my Picasa and on my blogs all went away.  I had almost been blogging for a year, and I had forty nine followers, over one hundred posts.  I had over one hundred albums on my Picasa, and lots and lots of followers {I don't even KNOW how many}.  Then, all that hard work was deleted forever.

  Creating new blogs and a new Picasa account was something that I was almost scared of.  I didn't want to have to start over, I wanted to go back to my blog with the almost-fifty followers and my Picasa with some photography that I was so very proud of.  But I knew that nothing better would come from me totally leaving the face of the internet-world.  And so I made The Demi-God Dancer, and that is the blog you're reading now.

  But look at my blog now!  I'm so, SO, proud of it.  I have forty three amazing followers, and over six THOUSAND pageviews.  I can't thank you guys enough for getting me to this pointe.  I love you all so much.  <3

  So, to see how my blog and I have progressed, how about you see every header I've EVER had on this blog!  :D

  This was my very first header on this blog!  These are a couple of my favorite pictures, then AND now! ;]

  I really like this one!  :]  Cute pictures and a bunch of text.  :]

  These two are basically the same, but I changed pictures.  ;]  So, these are my holiday headers!  :D  Which one do {or did} you prefer?

  This is probably my least-favorite header, as it's very boring and the picture quality lessened because of how I re-sized it.  But still!  XD  This is my first Truly, Utterly, Carolyn header!

  I didn't have this header for too long, but I REALLY like it.  The color scheme was really cute!

  And here's my current header!  This one might be my favorite. :]  These are my favorite colors, so . . . yeah.  XD

  Well, I just want to thank all of you so, SO, much for getting me here.  I love each and every one of you, and . . . thank you for following my blog, I couldn't have done it without you.

Love, Love, Love,
Carolyn

I Don't Know what to Title this POST!

  I really don't know what to title this post.  I don't.  And it's bugging me, but whateves!  XD  I have a lot to post about.  **Snods**

  First off, I was nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award by Kellee and Sapphie!  :D  Love ya girlies.  <3

Rules:

1. In a post on your blog, nominate 4 fellow bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award.

2. In the same post, add the Versatile Blogger Award.

3. In the same post, thank the person who nominated you

 with a link back to their blog.

4. In the same post, include 7 random pieces of information about you.

5. In the same post, include this set of rules.

6. Inform each nominated blogger with a comment on their blog

  So, here are my seven random bits:

02. I am currently reading two books

03. I LOVE cheddar and sour cream baked Ruffles!  XD

04. I am doing five dances in the recital this year

Here are my nominees:

--Jeneca at Jeniqua

--Vivy at Viviness and AG

--Arianna at Writerality

I will post some random pictures via Pinterest between my various subjects.  XD

  Okay, so . . .  next off on my agenda is . . . Oh yes!

  My bestest friendo {XD} Makenna and I started a blog together!  :D  It's called I Love you More than Spadex and Pine Trees.  XD  You're probably thinking, "What the heck is wrong with these girls?", but it's not that weird!  Well, if you understand the story.  Let me explain!

  So, one boring day during study hall, Makenna and I were sitting by each other and we were both on laptops.  We went on a Google Doc and created random stories about how much we love each other.  They were all very random.  XD  Our favorite is the obvious, "I love you more than spandex and pine trees."  And so, tis our blog name.  XD  And-by the way-we don't love each other in creepy ways, mm'kay?  XD  We love each other in the way best friends do.  XD

  BUT ANYWHO.  Here is the link!  PLEASE follow!  :D  {{Oh, and we have an awesome Hunger Games design.  YEAH BUDDY.}}

This reminded me SO much of Joccee from Cupcake Dictionary.  XD

  NEXT ON THE LONG LIST OF THINGS TO BLOG ABOUT!  XD  I guess I'll combine these two things.  :]  Anyways, one of them is my current design.

  So, as you can see, I am currently using "Dynamic Views".  I like it fine, but I don't know . . . it's kind of weird.  I don't like the no-header dealio.  Not cool.  XD  But the amazing Jeneca is making me a background, so it'll be fixed sooner or later.  :]

  Next is about my 365 blog.  It's not going well.  AT ALL.  :[  I'm not sure what to do about it.  :/  Ideas?  Should I continue?  I'd love to, but it's difficult.  :P

  And so, this concludes my extremely long and rambly post.  I hope the pictures made you happy.  Because I love Pinterest pictures.  And they make me happy.  :]

With Oodles of Love,

Carolyn <3

Under Construction!

  My blog is 100% under construction right now, so please bear with me.  :)

New, New, NEW!

  If my blog doesn't look different and-well-new to you, then I don't know what would!   XD  The biggest change?  The name.  It is no longer, "The Demi-God Dancer".  Why?  Well, first of all, I always forgot if it was, "The Dancing Demi-God" or, "The Demi-God Dancer".  XD  That was a problem.  Second, I don't like it too much anymore.  Plus, a lot of people never knew what a demi-god was, even though I made a post explaining that.  XD

  I totally changed the look, also, if you didn't already notice!  XD  I got a new background and header, plus new little button-y things on the sidebar.  I need a new button now.  Darn.  XD

  I learned how do to SO many things, and I love my blog. :)  I am so happy I found and alternative to the Minima template.  It's quite boring.  :P  SO, yeah!  EXCITEMENT.

  Now, let me continue my Parry Gripp song overload.  Thank you.

Lovesies,
Caro

I was Boo{ed}! {Plus OTHER rAnDoM stuff and a Birthday!}

{{PLEASE read to the end, especially if you're BRITTS!}}

  Yes, that's right, I was INDEED Boo{ed} by none other than Renata!  {Check out her blog!}  It's really pretty fun, if you get boo{ed} {through a comment}, you get the button above {which you can get on Chunkey Monkey} and put it on your sidebar, then Boo someone else!  Then you're done until someone else boos you.  ;)  Simple, right?

  Anyways, besides being booed, nothing much is new.  I Delilah actually just made a REALLY long post on their blog if you want to check it out.  ;)  We also posted a poll, so PLEASE vote on that after reading the pros and cons of each doll in the post.  :)

  OH!  Here's something else exciting!  Renata {man, she's popular in my post today!  XD} and I re-created our dance blog!  Get the Pointe is now up again, so PLEASE CHECK IT OUT!  We're getting our design from Britts soon, so no worries on the ugly-ness.  ;)

  Well, today is going to be a pretty normal day.  :)  I got to sleep in for the first time in what seems like ages.  Every Saturday I assistant-teach at my {dance} studio at 8:30 in the morning, so I obviously have to get up pretty early to get in my leotard and tights, do my hair, eat, and get my dance bag ready.  Usually we go to church on Sundays, but we didn't today.  :P  It's not a great thing, but it was nice to sleep in until 10:10 instead of 7:30 for church!  {{Yeah, we only have an 8:30 mass . . . we're a small church.  XD}}

  But anywho, I'm going to Nutcracker practice today, and I have a costume fitting!  :D  Woot woot!  {{It's a Quinny thing.}}  We're going earlier, though, to shop a bit.  We live in a small town where the only places to shop for clothing are Walmart and the dollar store.  XD  Yeah, we have to travel quite a bit for clothing.  Well, Walmart *sometimes*.  I'M NOT ASHAMED TO ADMIT THAT I THINK THEY HAVE SOME CUTE GRAPHIC TEES!  XD

  Today is someone really special's birthday.  Who is that, you ask?  Why, Brittany-Amelia, or as I call her, Britts!  So, here's my {second!} birthday message to her:

Dear Britts,

  Happy birthday!  Today is a special day for you and for all of your friends and family. You've gone through another year of being Britts.  ;)  You are such an amazing friend and truly ARE one of my best friends in the entire world, even if I've never met you and you live far off somewhere else in this big world {like, maybe AUSTRALIA?!  XD}.  :)  I've known you for over a year now and we've always had so much in common that we're obviously twins separated at birth that don't have the same age.  It's just OBVIOUS, isn't it?  It's crazy to think you're fifteen, I hope it's a year full of love and laughter {and Dr. Who and Horrible Histories because I know you love that stuff so much even though I have no idea what either are really about!}.

  Well, Britts my dear, I love you SO much and I hope that you have an AMAZING day, and year being 15.  ;)

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥,

Caro

  Toodaloo, chickas!

Excuse the Horrid Design

**Cough**  Yeah, sorry about the design.  I should've apologized earlier, but oh well.  I'm waiting for my design from Britts {my dear!  Sorry, she'll *probably* get it}, so until then I'll have a white background.  :P  I made a really awesome background, but I can't upload it because I don't have a Photobucket or anything like that!  I have a Picasa, but the links don't work with Picasa.  If you can help, PLEASE DO!

  ANYWAYS!  I have a loose tooth.  I mean, it's REALLY loose.  Yeah, I'm kind of a slow tooth-looser, don't judge me on that.  XD  It hurts pretty bad . . . and I HATE pain . . . and blood.  Yeah, tooth pulling isn't for me.

  Hey, what about a "What has she Been Reading?" session?  Well, I've never really done one, but I certainly can!  Well, here ya go!

**SPOILER ALERT.  IF YOU HAVE NOT READ ALL OF THE LOST HERO, ARE NOT BEYOND PAGE 363, OR ARE PLANNING TO READ IT, I RECOMMEND NOT READING THIS PART OF THE POST.**

Book Title: The Lost Hero


Author: Rick Riordan


Favorite Character: LEO VALDEZ.  <3  {{Pfft, I'm so totally fifteen!  Quinlyn will get this . . . if she's reading.}}


Part you're At: The half-bloods {Jason, Leo, and Piper} just had an encounter with with King Midas and they just escaped!  It's Piper's turn to take over the story now . . . XD  Yeah, I don't know, this isn't very exciting, is it?

~~

  Heh, sorry if that was boring . . . like, incredibly boring.  I might've been, it probably was, but oh well.  ;)  At least I'm posting, right?!

Your Dancer,
Carolyn
