And The Winners of the Acrostic Contest Are…
Augusta Jane for her wonderful entry:
The way I see things, well is a little differant.
Heroic! Oh yes, fighting off Germans is very heroic!
Extrordianarily gifted, with the sixth since I mean
Obviously prepared to decurse
Don’t be a bother and be thankful for the jam sandwiches father!
Oh my goodness, Bollingsworth is evil!
Shhhh Henry! Your feet sound like a dozen hipopotimi!
I never want to sleep in a small boat again!
American mothers are to keep an eye on when it comes to bringing home arftifacts.
And we also have a runner-up! Miss Kiki Kyra Kiyura! for her rhyming entry…
The little well-known saviour of London, who could it be?
Have you heard of this hero? I’ll give clues and we’ll see!
Everything counts on their cleverness and skill
Or else the whole operation would have gone downhill.
(Do you have the gist? If not, another rhyming hint comes.)
Or you’ve seen how bravely SHE faced all that came, and how
She knew that it wasn’t even close to a simple game.
If you’ve guessed the identity of this young, smart girl….
Absolutely correct is THEODOSIA. Give that name a whirl!
Well done, girls! All the entries were fabulous! So hard to choose!
Augusta and Kyra, after getting your parents permission, email your address to robin (at) theodosiathrockmorton.com so she can send you your prizes!

This is kind of random but a small (about a week old) bird fell down my chimeny and it was the only one in its family who wasn’t killed by my sisters cat and i am taking care of it until it— well we are almost definate that it isnlt going to survive. But we keep it nice and warm. It has been SCREAMING for food but we are afraid to feed it. Does anyone know what to give him?
June 19th, 2008 at 1:14 am
Take him to a vet, or nature center, or something! Like the ASPCA!
June 19th, 2008 at 2:42 am
well my cat go into the fire place and took a nip at him. He is looking better but I found out that soggy apple jacks are a really good food for him. And we can;t really take him to a vet because he is to young for them to do anything.
but atleast his belly is full and he is in a very comfortable place to sleep.
June 19th, 2008 at 2:45 am

oh, now i know the answer to the riddle! augusta’s riddle, i mean!
June 22nd, 2008 at 3:29 am
yeah lucia answered correctly: stop imagining! Yay lucia, and i cant wait to see your riddle revealed
June 25th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
the answer to my riddle is Thoth. here’s why:
“what word begins ‘the beginning’”
well, ‘the’, of course!
“what if you replaced the end of life with the center of joy?”
the end of life is ‘e’. replace the ‘e’ in ‘the’ with ‘o’, the center of ‘joy’.
“then end as you began”
with ‘the’, so you have thothe
“for your name is a mirror”
‘Thoht’ is close to Thoth, which is the answer
“and you are the reflection of us all.”
a last hint. Thoth was the father of alchemy.
cool, huh?
June 25th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Yep!!
June 26th, 2008 at 2:34 pm

I first saw that when I was 6-8 (forget which age) and I was so scared of Quirrell (how do you spell it? I can never get it right) unwrapping his turban that I covered my eyes and ran into another room.
That’s what I hate about movies made about books…..they get it allllll wrong.
July 13th, 2008 at 3:54 pm

As the Night that buries all before it in Darkness, your Dragon color is…
black
If there ever was an apparition of Evil to strike terror into the hearts of man and beast, your Inner Dragon is it. Blackies are a fairly common dragon and are considered one of two harmonious dragons. Your antithesis is the White Dragon. Together, you two embody the Yin and Yang concept of eastern religions (especially Taoism).
But of course, being a Blackie on the inside you couldn’t care less about that religion garbage. You like to chomp things, cause trouble, make off with people’s significant others, and so on and so forth. Your favorable attributes are night, the Moon, the stars, dreams, psychic guidance, balancing Karma, seeking truth, and helpful dark magic. Everybody’s still got to watch out for you though, because deep down you like to smite at random and have a nasty breath weapon combination of Fire and Acid. *evil grin* Fun, no?
click on this link http://www.geocities.com/teo592/quiz/dragon.html it is really cool
July 19th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Mine is green.
July 20th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
pant pant I fianally got the duct tape off and my color is silver i wonder what that means?
July 20th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
Your Inner Dragon is the most interesting of all. Yellows are the fourth rarest dragon of all (after Gold, Platinum and Chromatic dragons). They spend the vast majority of their time soaring high above the ground, often for no particular reason. They love to be in the air, and are thus typified as the Air Elemental dragon. Your Inner Dragon spends most of his/her time on the Plains or steppe highlands when not mingled with the air currents. All of the Elemental dragons are technically aligned “Chaotic Evil” but a Yellow is about as close as they come to being either Neutral or “Lawful Evil.” So if you feel like a bit of a do-gooder sometimes, it’s perfectly normal.
You like to spend time in silent, aerial meditation and would only really attack someone if provoked. Your favorable attributes are the sunrise, Spring, incense, clouds, and any kind of helpful air mass or current. When it’s needed, your breath weapon is pure bolts of Lightning. How’s that for a neat piece of carry-on luggage? See you amongst the clouds!
:K :O
:R :S :Z
July 21st, 2008 at 10:33 pm
i have a mini contest this is for everbody who did that dragon quiz hannah showed us (but u can still enter if u didnt take the quiz) what color dragon do you think i am and theo youv’e been quiet is anything wrong?
July 23rd, 2008 at 12:10 am
As the Oceans that give birth to the Land, your Dragon color is…
BLUE!
If there ever was a draconic example of a supple attitude, your Inner Dragon is it. Blues are the Water Elemental dragon - typified by their Steam breath weapon. Pretty creative, huh? It goes right along with your Inner Dragon’s tendency to maim, but not destroy. Much like your native oceans and rivers will deform the rock over time, eventually wearing it away to nothing.
Humans shouldn’t make the idiot mistake of thinking you’re weak, however. After all you’re a good 30 feet in length and you have a penchant for materializing out of any body of water, no matter how small. The element of surprise and limited magic capabilities are definitely yours. You also enjoy communicating with aquatic life-forms, hunting in totally inhospitable terrain (i.e. 3000 feet below the waves), and using your fluid nature to your advantage. Your enemies probably won’t even see you approach in the first place. Your favorable attributes are the sunset, Autumn, water, compassion, peace, forgiveness, love, intuition, and calmness. Naturally, you pity the fool who’d try and prove that calmness part, he’d probably wind up being scalded. *small grin*
