Alice through the years
http://thebloggernews.blogspot.com/
First of all, check out this new blog run by Musey, Trili, and I. =)
Now on to the feature:
In this feature, we will examine the evolution of Alice's plotline, as well as her development as a protagonist.
1865- Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is published. Alice is a young child of about seven. Intrigued by her cat Dinah, Alice is the quintessential mischievous young girl, utterly bored by her sister's history books, preferring to make daisy chains and petting Dinah. Lewis Carroll uses satire (sometimes the whole book is considered allegorical irony) to portray the useless memorization endured by British schoolchildren-Alice repeats ridiculous poems and fails at simple addition.
1951- Alice is first portrayed wearing her classic blue dress and Alice band, which has had a huge influence on fashion today. Disney adopted the character of Alice as a Disney Princess of sorts, infusing her character with Disney values. Alice dreams big- she wants to find a wonderful world for herself. She is portrayed as a lonely girl with a dream- much like Disney's princesses Cinderella, Aurora, Jasmine, and others. She is polite and has excellent manners, but, like other princesses before her, has a streak of rebelliousness and independence that emerges as she wanders around in Wonderland.
2010-In Tim Burton's stylized "Alice" movie, Alice is a strong, adolescent female lead, with a distinct voice, character, and strength.
She makes decisions by herself (leaving her fiance, etc etc). She slays the Jabberwocky in heavy armour. In this movie, the most recent of Alice's appearances, she has the most independence and strength than she ever did before, portraying her not anymore as a young, muddled child, but rather as a distinctly real adolescent of this day and age, with decisions and opinions of her own and the will to carry them out.

~BREAKING NEWS~QUAKE LEAVES BLOGGER DEVASTATED~
This just in. I'm Alice, reporting live from Bloggerville with your update on this terrorizing earthquake that has ravaged an unprepared website. One of the first signs we received was a totally voteless poll that has been up for a week here at Through the Looking Glass.
http://thetrilingualbookeater.blogspot.com/2010/03/104567677387466574657-earthquake-on.html?showComment=1267845914653_AIe9_BFWWjlTuoMRQ8rZDLvn-yqOFf083CztPgfntNNiaOvnq732u1DExom382tHwK_va6zAGuZRN4hFQ4jKYqb2-V1EYBVzuolWeI0UVibNvCXfefChGeA9QS8xJFyb0pHqO8KA_d854jhi5JNGFZEQMg7UKRJyDLRk6NJHSVNKoqOei57PuiZy1N5OZHPnlUSyWUBs8rNQCO24lPYqjqNndSxQyLF4D64rwMPEK-XDqEw2XIptPLOhV_nHpbE6ml5uAYPEtxDF#c5147499385833561970
Visit this link for additional information about this terrible disaster.
A magnitude 10.4567677387466574657 earthquake devastated the city of Bloggerville earlier this moth, leaving many homeless and commentless. Some of the city's most important figures have just been extracted from under the rubble. Here is your update:
Vivemalinka-A visiting dignitary from New Zealand, Malinka was sorely underprepared for this tragedy. Alive, she was dug up earlier today from under a large pile of Privacy Settings. She returned to New Zealand with a smile on her face, totally unsuspecting anything would happen to her perfect blog-life.
Bbjbj-Bbjbj was taking a walk to the grocery store when the quake hit. She was found in a mass of Comment Moderation debris. She is in a deep sleep back at My Account, occasionally flailing her arms, blinking, or mumbling to herself. However, it is taking quite a huge effort to get her to respond even on such a small scale.
Sir Swish- Was left handicapped with a broken foot. He was among the first to be affected by this disaster, and Trili and I have been trying to reconcile him with large doses of Comment medicine. However, our attempts have been largely unsuccessful. Maybe a stronger antidote will do the trick. Trili is in the lab, mixing one, feeling bleak and hopeless.
Blue Roses- After a very confusing spasm, odd muscle contractions, and involuntary twitching, Bluey was laid to rest at My Account. Trili and I have been bringing Blue Roses to her grave every day in hopes of resurrection.
Chiron- Has been slaving away working on the camp syllabus. We hope... His body has not yet emerged from the rubble.
Your Personal Sunlight- Was found partying around the Gmail/Tri-State area. Decided Bloggerville was not the city for her.
Randomnessandlyfe=synonomous- Showing signs, however primitive. We've heard a few prehistoric grunts and the occasional "Nom Nom" from her. Hopefully the antidote will work on her as well.
I've been reciting a lot of Alice quotes lately in order to cheer me up, but I need some time to think. What great losses Bloggerville has suffered, leaving only two conscious survivors, Trili and I. We need your help to save the poor civilians of Bloggerville. Only you can reverse the fate of this destroyed city. It is in your hands, young Jedi. So join the cause. Help save the city with your donations of comments and posts.
Additional updates on other citizens provided as we receive info.

TI-30XIIS
My mum's cousin has arrived from Singapore, the happiest place on Earth. We are preparing for a large desi gathering-my parents have been cooking all day. Four lasagnas, a pot of soup... not to mention appetizers and cake. In Singapore, they make all guys when they reach a certain age serve in the military.
Yesterday when I got home i had a total happy moment. Like, absolute satisfaction, being at ease with nature and the order of things. It was ah-maaaaaazing.
I received a new TI-30XIIS, which I have named this post after, for it is a very very ah-maaazing calculator, and I have been playing with it all day. Basis nerd lol :)))))
Viva, viva la musica:
explosive- bond. a very good song.
classical crossover is addicting.
LIST: CURRENT OBSESSIONS:
-classical crossover
-emma's lao ye
-soymilk
-lists
-chemistry
-Peter and the Starcatchers
I have to go get dressed now for the desi thing. BS is the most ah-maaazing game ev-ahhhh!
<3,
Anita

Interval
We all stopped. Paused, rather.
Anywho, on to business.
I want to see quite a few movies. Precisely, two. PJO and Valentine's day, the first for obvious reasons and the second because it has so many famous actors/actresses in it I just have to. Actually, I want to see Avatar as well. However I think it is out of theatres at this point. What a shame...
So, I'm writing my dramatic monologue about Empress Wu Zetian of China. It is rather disturbing, however I do believe it will be appreciated by our english instructor who seems to enjoy these types of things.
Am I the only one that feels an adrenaline rush when I think of eighth grade? I plan on taking two electives: orchestra, as well as AP computer science. I also have a desire to take the history elective as it is my subject of favour however I have prioritized against it.
I want to cry when I think of leaving all you wonderful people in high school. The years I have created at Basis have defined who I am. In elementary school, I was a confused young child. Basis made me...reconsider. I defined who I was, and to leave it all behind? Even if I end up staying (I'm not quite sure yet) parts of me that are my friends will die, leave, depart. I wonder how we will all turn out. Just for fun:
Musey- hmm... activist and advocate for some greatly established charity, pediatrician
Sir Swish- famed NBA player, MVP every single year for his team
Caltra- animator who greatly diversifies the industry, bringing about radical technological advances in animation
Trili- wow, this is a hard one. What do you want to be, Trili? You're good at so many things!
Pipelette- fashion designer of Sweet Lolita outfits, starts greatly popular Lolita store with branches in Japan and America (for the otaku!!! :D)
av- astrophysicist who helps launch a rocket into space for NASA by doing complex calculations and such :)
bbjbj- crazy inventor who comes up with really awesome random contraptions that greatly improve our quality of life, and makes them from old tv dinner boxes and materials she finds laying around her house/other people's houses ;)
myself, at least, what I want to be-professor of business or chemistry in a graduate school, with a pHd and tenure, who gets to go to awesome places to teach programs and has an excuse to travel a LOT :D
That's all, folks! Stay tuned, and post often!
Yours Truly,
Alicia
