The most intense match of Squares ever played...

In Form, ANT and Master were playing a match of Squares because they were bored of the movie that the rest of the form were watching. It was a spectacular match with ANT taking the lead, however the tables turned as the game went on. In the end, it was all down to the very last stroke of the pen, that lead to Master's victory. Here are the total number of squares that each player managed to draw:
ANT: 31/81
Master: 50/81
It was funny because Master was taking it so seriously and had to think about every move carefully ;p
Overall, it was a fabulous final day at Nasha Academy! Can't wait to see everyone again next year :)

Quote Week: November - Day 5

"That seems a little early"

Story behind quote:
On the way back home from a revision session, ArwaChihuahua and Master bumped into Wadz and the Beckster. They started talking and at one point the Beckster said, "That seems a little early". Master found this funny and repeated it, but it ended up sounding very much like an impression of 'Gaius' from 'Merlin'.

Quote Week: November - Day 4

"You rock that moon cake!"

Story behind quote:

At Halloween, ANT, ArwaChihuahua and Wadz were out Trick-or-Treating. They knocked on Master, as they promised, and got given pretty oriental-beasty sweets. Then Wadz said to Master's mom, "You rock that moon cake!"

"Oriental beast!"

Story behind quote:
Wadz and Master came up with a new saying, so whenever something oriental is mentioned they would turn to eachother and say, "Oriental beast!" and then high-five eachother :)

Quote Week: November - Day 2

“Better bear that in mind, Grizzly!”

Story behind quote:

In Physics, LG brought up the question about whether ice would melt if you slide it across the North Pole fast enough, and Sir’s answer was yes. So Master said to Mexx Bear, “Better bear that in mind, Grizzly!”

Quote Week: November - Day 1

“How come you get the smart comment?!”

Story behind quote:

Mexx, being the geek that she is, wanted to ask Sir what Physics textbook we were following, so she dragged Master along to the Science Base. Outside they stood for quite some time thinking about what they were going to say and rehearsing it. So Mexx said that she would knock and Master would have to ask if Sir was there. Then Master had to ask what the name of the textbook was. Afterwards Mexx’s line would be, ‘Well it’s obviously gonna be Physics, so what’s the name of the publisher?’ Then Master said, “How come you get the smart comment?!”

However after all the rehearsals, in the actual time, Master said most of it, and Mexx made up some stuff about her uncle wanting to know, whilst Master just stood there laughing!

Afterwards, they came out of the Science Block and Master said to Mexx, “That’s probably the most fun I’ve had in ages!”

Bonfire Night!

Hope you all have a good Bonfire Night! Whatever you're up to, we hope you stay safe and have fun :)
Love, the Gerbils and Master

Well, I thought I'd just tell you all about a specific event that happened yesterday. Wadz had her birthday picnic at a park, and most of us attended, except from the odd grizzly bear but oh well. When we were having our picnic an English bulldog named George came over and basically crashed the picnic! It was hilarious! And he didn't just do it once, he came back abouts 5 times!!!

And we all agreed on that :)
Note: The Wall (also known as Steve) is the normal place where we go for lunch ;p

Wow! I'm actually overwhelmed!

Well, I have to admitt that I think this academic year at Nasha Academy is gonna be a pretty tough one! I'm actually overwhelmed by the amount of homework that we are getting, and therefore have not been posting much. I'm sure I will get used to this very soon, so do not fear! It's been a good start to the year, I'm glad to see that everyone is well and it feels normal once again ;p I sense that there will be lots of work to be done, but also I think this is gonna be an awesome year! Best of luck to all you gerbils going back to school, hope you have a good time ;)

OMG! Absolutely love this, Wadz!

Wadz has started a new blog on fashion and I have just been on it. I have to tell you that it is absolutely amazing! Take a look here: http://heelz-onlinefashionmagazine.blogspot.com/

The new term at Nasha Academy will definitely test each one of us gerbils. But for now, check out the new Pic Of The Month :)

“Who else is gonna do impressions of Mexx and annoy her with me when you’re gone?!”

“Or it could just be Goddard in the distance!”

Story behind quote:

At the annual picnic at Nasha Academy, the Beckster, ArwaChihuahua and Master saw Goddard there in an epic music symbol tie and waistcoat! However, from afar it made him look like a policeman.

Last quotes for July...

Here are the last quotes for this month. I apologise for them being rather late, but i have to admitt, it has been a pretty hectic week. Till next month ;)

Quote Week: July - Day 7

"I love the fact that I can literally catapult ArwaChihuahua into the air!"

Story behind quote:
When we went to visit Wadz, we went for a little walk to a nearby park. There was some children's play equipment, and ANT and Master decided to go on a see-saw type thing, that instead of sitting on, you stand up on. And ANT said, "I love the fact that I can literally catapult ArwaChihuahua into the air!" Afterwards, she decided to demonstrate. ArwaChihuahua really did fly off, as she attempted to get off whilst the see-saw was in motion. ArwaChihuahua ended up landing on her bottom, but fortunately she was not harmed. All good! :)

"Did you have fun pushing her down the hill, 'cause I had to push her back up again!"

Story behind quote:
When we went to visit Wadz, who was in a wheelchair, we went for a walk. Knowing ArwaChihuahua's playful nature, she just had to push Wadz down a slope, but then had to go home, and ANT was left to get Wadz back up! So ANT said the next day, "Did you have fun pushing her down the hill, 'cause I had to push her back up again!"

Quote Week: July - Day 5

"Actually, what's your real name again?!"

Story behind quote:
Since we have come up with so many names for Mexx, someone asked her, "Actually, what's your real name again?!"

Quote Week: July - Day 4

"Of course she's correct once again"

Story behind quote:
Only the way home today, we were talking about what house team ANT's younger sibling was going to be put into at Nasha Academy as he will be coming up next term. We all took a bet at which house he would be in. And coincidently, ANT's sibling was put into the house Master had betted on! And ANT said, "Of course she's correct once again."

Quote Week: July - Day 3

"We just have to do this every year"

Story behind quote:
Today was Sports Day, and every year ANT and Master always have a picture together. They started it last year, and have decided it will be their annual tradition :)

Quote Week: July - Day 2

"Nice one, Wheels!"

Story behind quote:
Here is a new name for Ruby...Wheels!!! Every time she makes a joke, Master always sub-consciously says either, "Very good, Wheels", or "Nice one,Wheels." Only today, had Ruby pointed it out, Master realised that she had been saying it so much!

Apologies...

I am so sorry for not being able to post Quotes Of The Day for the last 2 days. This is due to the fact that I could not get onto here to post. They shall be posted today. Thank you!

Quote Week: July - Day 1

"Well, we've been using him as a scapegoat for 3 years now..."

Story behind quote:
Today in our Science lesson at Nasha Academy, we were recalling how we started a whole thing where we literally blamed everything on this one dude. It started when two other dudes just decided to start it but then it caught on. One of our earliest memories was in a history lesson, and we were discussing why a country lost a war. The teacher asked the question and literally the whole class shouted out the guy's name! Good times :)
Note: ANT will know exactly what I'm on about ;)

Our first ever Quote Week!!!

I am so excited, because this week will be our first ever Quote Week!!! Of course, Quote Week will be the first week of each month from now on. Let's get started on this week's quotes :)

MouseMouseMonday #3: Lady Gaga

Comment below what your favourite song(s) is/are when you have heard the album :)

Slightly different...

As all you very observant gerbils may have noticed, the layout of this blog has changed slightly over the past few days. I have moved some things around and I hope it is a little easier to navigate around the blog.
So, what do you think? Do you like it? Don't you like it? Leave your comments below.

If you think it is decent tick :/
If you can't stand it tick :(
Thanks! :]

Another new name for Mexx...

As you may know, Mexx Bear changes her species of bear every season, yes she is a bear-shifter (Note: Bear-shifters are creatures who can change into different bear forms, e.g. grizzly bear, polar bear, koala bear, etc. similar to a shape-shifter). In the Summer she is a grizzly bear and in the Winter she is a polar bear. So, yesterday LG just came along and casually said, "What's up, Grizzly?" And so we witnessed the birth of Mexx's name for this season! :]

Mid-week Random Quote :)

"...obviously you would find it easy in bare (bear) foot!"
- Nasha

Story behind quote:
One morning, Mexx Bear was showing Nasha a step in a dance routine that they were doing together. The particular move consisted of rubbing the foot against the floor. Nasha was saying how difficult she found it as it really hurts your foot, but then Mexx said, "No it's not, it's really easy, I can do it in bare feet." Then, when she realised what she had just said, se quickly turned to us and said, "No, shut up, don't say anything!" And so we asked her, "So, what did you think we were going to say?" And Mexx replied, "Something about me being a bear." And then Nasha said, "I was going to say, that obviously you would find it easy in bare (bear) foot!" Yep, Mexx saw that one coming ;) 

Random Quote...!

Just thought I'd stick in a random quote today, since a really good one came up :)

Random Quote:
"You should stop doing that, this whole row of bushes will be bare (bear) by the end of the day!"
- Master

Story behind quote:
This morning, when we were all starting to arrive at Nasha Academy, Nasha, Mexx Bear, Stas, ArwaChihuahua and Master were standing next to a row of bushes with luscious green leaves. Mexx Bear had taken off a leaf from the bush and was attempting to rip it in a certain way so that she was left with only the centre of the stem. She had failed a few times and was continuously ripping leaves of the bush. At this point Master said, "You should stop doing that, this whole row of bushes will be bare (bear) by the end of the day!" After Master had said that Nasha realised the unintentional double meaning of the word 'bare', everyone looked at eachother for a split second and then burst out laughing!   

MouseMouseMonday #2: Pirates of the Caribbean

Ahoy there!

MouseMouseMonday #1: Random!

Finally! I'm here! It's MouseMouse here! And I will be doing a Monday post every week from now on. I hope you like it! This week's post is just gonna be random! Here's a random video to put you in the mood:
Video is suitable for all audiences

I hope you enjoyed that nice random video :]
One of the most random happenings today was when someone came up to Gerry's Master and saluted. Master didn't know who this dude was and was slightly taken aback by the action!
Have you ever tried to watch 'Indian Jones' but with all the people having blue skin like in 'Avatar'? It is rather amusing as you can't take any of the intense fight scenes seriously. And you must be asking right now, "How did you come to watch the blue-skinned version of Indiana Jones?" Well, I'm telling you now that we were watching it on a slightly faulty computer and there just unfortunately happened to be a strange DVD player. Never mind!

That's it for this week, see you next Monday!
MouseMouse

Don't forget!

Just a quick reminder that I, MouseMouse will posting tomorrow! It will be my special Monday post. Can't wait to see you then :]

Mexx gets poned big time...by a satsuma!!!

At breaktime at Nasha Academy, we were all just chillin'. Mexx was eating a clementine, so therefore we had a discussion about all the different types of oranges (tangerines, clementines, satsumas, and the list goes on...), this conversation concluded with Mexx saying that she didn't like any other type of orange except from clementines. At this point, ArwaChihuahua get's out a satsuma and starts eating it. Then Mexx and Master have a little argument over whether it is a clementine or a satsuma. Mexx was so convinced that it was a clementine, which it wasn't, she asked ArwaChihuahua for a segment of the fruit. After Mexx put it in her mouth and started chewing did she realise that it was a satsuma. All we hear is, "Urghhh, it is a satsuma, ewwww!" And then we see Mexx running to the nearest bin and spitting out the satsuma. And that is how Mexx got utterly poned by Master...and a satsuma! 

More news from Nasha Academy!

Story behind quote for Day 2

"Well it was based on you...(awkward silence)"

Story behind quote:
In our languages lesson at Nasha Academy, Master sits next to Nasha. They were all drawing pretty pictures, and Nasha said to Master, "That's a pretty person," and pointed at Master's drawing. Then, ok major awkward turtle coming up, Master said, "Well it was based on you...(awkward silence)"

It's Earth Day today!

It's not just Good Friday, it's also Earth Day today! I hope all of you gerbils are being green and eco-friendly :]

Story behind quote for Day 17

"What are you? Are you all forming a force-field or something?!?!"

Story behind quote:
This happened in an English lesson at Nasha Academy. Master was sitting next to Mexx and across the room were LG and Tozloz (two other dudes who enjoy making fun of Mexx). It all started when LG wrote on his hand 'Perfection' and showed it to Mexx. As you may know, Mexx is a bit of a perfectionist, actually scratch that out, she is an absolute perfectionist, even though she will not admitt it. After she saw the word on LG's hand she got rather mad. Then, Master decided to join in the fun as well and did the same as LG had done. Afterwards, LG alerted Tozloz, who then also did the same. At this point Mexx just looked around the room at the three of them and said, "What are you? Are you all forming a force-field or something?!?!"

It's Good Friday!

Hello everyone!
It's Good Friday today! Hope you're all having a good one :)
Tick :) if you are looking forward to munching Easter eggs!

ANT's interesting story...about the 'FEARLESS WARRIOR DOG'!!!

Today, ANT sent me an email about her interesting day at a nearby river. Here is what she wrote:

I was at the river today and there was this swan swimming around, I think it was protecting its teritory because whenever someone came near the edge it would hiss. It seemed to particularly hate dogs! Every dog ran away scared afterwards. Then this one dog came, and jumped straight in! When the swan came and hissed it jumped in again, lol! I thought in my head ‘FEARLESS! WARRIOR DOG!!!!!!’

Story behind quote for Day 16

"You're all...um...nice people..."

Story behind quote:
As you may know, Mexx's Bear-thday Resolution is to not use violence. At first the deal was that she didn't use any form of violence at all. This includes physical and verbal. So when we made fun of her she would try not to insult us back so she would say, "You're all...um...nice people..." But then, we thought that this was a tad too far, so we said to her that she could use verbal violence, but not physical. Fair :)

Wadz's New Blog!!! Two words. Absolutely. Epic!!!!!

You must check this out, gerbils! This is Wadz's epic new blog! It is called "The Ways of the Warrior" Go read it, now! Go follow it! Just go and support it! By the way, you can find it in the 'Other blogs' section :)
If you are still reading this, then you really shouldn't be, because you should be reading Wadz's new blog! Go on, what are you waiting for?!?!

Story behind quote for Day 14

"I bet she's gonna say all that again but in a lower pitch"

Story behind quote:
For some reason, Mexx dislikes speaking in a high-pitched voice. So, therefore whenever she does she'll just say it and then clear her throat, then repeat what she has said again but in a lower pitch. It is most entertaining to watch, so whenever she does it Brybry/Stas and Master will say, "I bet she's gonna say all that again but in a lower pitch."

Story behind quote for Day 8

"What a melon-choly girl!"

Story behind quote:
Well, one lunchtime Brybry/Stas was looking a little down. That lunchtime she was eating melon, and so Mexx and Master turned to eachother and said, "What a melon-choly girl!"

So far...

Ok, I've had suggestions for Day 8, 14, 16 and 17. Any more???

An even better idea!

Instead of writing more quotes, I will post the story behind 7 quotes of your choice (One for each day leading up to Easter Sunday, of course)! Comment on this post which quotes you would like me to explain. Just leave the Day No. and I shall post the story :)

Last quote...

Wow! Today's the 50th Anniversary of the First Human Spaceflight! It's pretty epic :]

Woooooooo!!!!!!! It's Master's Birthday!

Hey there, everyone!
Today is Master's Birthday! Woooooooo!
Also, I have just found out that I am the 2500th page-viewer! I came on to post and then I found myself being the 2500th! What a great day this is turning out to be :]
The next milestone: 3000 page-views! Who's it gonna be???

Getting closer...

Hey gerbils!
We are, once again, getting closer to another page-view milestone. This time we are nearing 2500 page-views! That's pretty impressive. I can't believe how many page-views we have had in such a short amount of time!
Please comment on this post if you are the 2500th page-viewer. Thanks and good luck :]

More Jimmies!

Well, today ANT, Wadz, ArwaChihuahua and pals found six more ladybirds! Yes, six! That's pretty impressive. So, now we have got up to Jimmy XXXII, I wonder how many more there will be in the future :]

More Graeme Sightings!

Another entry has been added to the 'Graeme Watch Corner'. Go and check it out :]

Jimmy XXV and Jimmy XXVI - Part II

Here is part II of the story of Jimmy XXV and Jimmy XXVI:
At the time we presumed that Jimmy XXV had died and so we just left him there and walked on. Wadz was talking about how she had learned not to attempt to pick up ladybirds on flat surfaces. So we said "Never mind, at least we will know for next time!"
"Yeah, next time it will be Jimmy XXVI."
Just as Wadz said this, ANT said, "Oh my gosh, it can't be! It's another ladybird!" It was indeed another ladybird, but this time in a bush. Wadz went to try and pick it up, but in the end gave up and decided not to. So, there you have it, gerbils. And the lesson from that story was, "Don't attempt to pick up ladybirds on flat surfaces" :]

ANT's epic story-telling skills...!

I have to tell you, ANT is an amazing story-teller! She can make a boring episode of Eastenders sound so exciting :] Here is what she told me today:
"I know you don't watch Eastenders, but I'm still gonna tell you this. So last night is was the engagement party for so-and-so and then this person turned up and it was like major awkward turtle! Then the roof collapsed in on him and this huge metal pole hit him on the head!"
Afterwards, I was talking to Ruby, who also watches Eastenders, about it and she said that it was actually a serious episode, then I laughed at the fact that ANT had made it sound so exciting/interesting :] 

Jimmy XXV and Jimmy XXVI - Part I

Here is the story of Jimmy XXV (25th) and Jimmy XXVI (26th):
On the way back home from Nasha Academy today, with Wadz and ANT, I saw a ladybird.
So I said "Look, it's a ladybird." After I had said the word 'ladybird', Wadz suddenly went into her 'must-find-ladybird' mode and shouted "Where's the ladybird, where?!?!" So I showed her where it was, and she decided to pick it up (Wadz has always liked pickin up ladybirds for some reason!) and named it Jimmy XXV (Btw, if you hadn't realised, every ladybird that Wadz finds is called Jimmy). After a while she dropped Jimmy XXV but demanded that she picks it up again.Wadz struggled to pick it up and unfortunately, in the end, it died. But do not fear, gerbils, Jimmy XXV came back to life again! (But we didn't know that, at the time)
Come back tomorrow for part II of this epic story :]

Latest News!

Guess what, gerbils? I have just heard that ANT is gonna create another blog. I have also heard that it is gonna be bigger and better than it was before. I shall update you on this topic as soon as I find out more!

Fact: Wadz is an AMAZING CHEF!!!

Wow! Today I have tasted the best dish ever! It was Wadz's Ratatouille! I would happily eat that 3 meals a day :] Well done Wadz! I give your Ratatouille 11/10! That's how good it is! :]

Happy Bear-thday Mexx!

Guess who's bear-thday it is? It's Mexx Bear's! Wishing the Bear a very happy bear-thday! Lots of gerbil wishes :]

Mexx's Birthdays...!

I thought I'd tell you this, just so you know. We are getting very close to Mexx's Birthday (yay!), however, due to the differences between the Bear Calendar and the Caveman Calendar, Mexx has two birthdays in a year! Her 'Bear' Birthday is on the 5th April and her 'Caveman' Birthday is on the 5th May. We can't wait to celebrate with her! :]

Sundae-licious!

Guess what? Today is the 119th anniversary of the ice cream sundae! The ice cream sundae itself was invented in 1892 when New Yorker Chester Platt served his own speciality desert dish to Unitarian church minister John M. Scott on Sunday April 3rd - hence it is named after the Sabbath day. Bet you didn't know that! Makes me feel a little peckish now...!

Happy Mother's Day!

Just wishing you all a very Happy Mother's Day!

Wow! This is my 200th post!

Not only is it the first day of April, but this post is also my 200th post! I can't believe that I have done so many posts already! Thank you to all of you gerbils who are reading this blog and are supporting it :]

It's April!

Hey there!
Wow! I can't believe that it is April already! Go and check out this month's pic in 'Pic Of The Month' :]

First ANT, now Mexx!

OMG! Mexx has caught bear-flu! This is not good.
Here is a message to Mexx:
Get Well Soon, Mate! We...um...missed you today :]

Good Luck Mexx!

Wishing Mexx the best of luck (not that she needs it) for her piano exam tomorrow! I'm sure she will be great! That's it Mexx, go and shred that piano! (Btw, I didn't mean that literally. I don't want Mexx destroying the piano in one of her bear tantrums/rages!)

Meet Me Halfway...!

Hey there, gerbils! We have just reached over half way of Lent! I hope you are enjoying the quotes and haven't given up on your Lent resolution! :]

Today's Maths Lesson...!

We always have fun in our maths lessons, especially today. In our maths class we have Nasha, Mexx, ArwaChihuahua ad Master. Today was Mexx's lucky day as we were doing about bear-ings!!! I can assure you that it was a great lesson with no violence, at all :]

Mexx's Bear-thday Resolution has been slightly relaxed...

Well, since we have decided that Mexx should keep up her resolution for longer, we thought that we would let her use verbal insults, but NOT VIOLENCE!!!!! I think that's fair :]

Get well soon, ANT!!!

ANT was not at the Academy today because she was ill :( We hope that she gets well soon as she is missing the rare but beautiful sunshine here :]

2011 page-views! Lengendary!

Wow, I just logged on and I was the 2011th page-viewer! That is pretty legendary!

Mexx's Bear-thday Resolution

As it is nearing Mexx's birthday, Mexx has decided to give herself a bear-thday resolution! Even thought it is strange, Master is very grateful to it. Mexx's bear-thday resolution is.....wait for it.....wait.....wait.....it's really good.....ok.....you sure you wanna hear it.....i guess you do since you have read up to here.....it is.....to not use violence against people when she is annoyed with them (Master, in particular!) Note: Violence includes hitting, slapping, fish-slapping, punching, kicking, bear-hugging, strangling, etc.

Mexx's Ideal Nightmare...!

I know that the title of this post is a little strange, but I thought I'd share this with you. Here is a list of all the things in Mexx's Ideal Nightmare:
Pink background
Master dressed up as a leprachaun dancing round pot of gold
Mexx sitting in pot of gold
Cats following Master and attempting to jump into pot of gold
Master talking in Irish accent
Master saying "Bit chilly now!" in accent
ANT scraping her foot along the ground
Master laughing in a way Mexx finds annoying

Biggest number of page-views...yet!

We are approaching a huge number of page-views! Gerbils, we are near...wait for it...2000 page-views! I cannot believe it!!! Thank you for all your gerbil support and I can't wait to find out who is the 2000th page-viewer! :]

Love to the Bear ♥

As we have been posting lots of Bear-related stuff, I thought I'd just say that Mexx is an amazing bear and we should appreciate the fact that she is a bear! It's not like we are doing this to make fun of her! We do this because we lo♥e her so much! We lo♥e you loads and loads, Mexx!

Whats up?

Hey there!
All of us dudes and dudettes from Nasha Academy are on Half Term, WOOOOP WOOOOP!!!!!!!!! I hope you are all having a good day!

Bear-related songs...!

I thought I'd do a special post on bear-related songs. All of these are dedicated to Mexx! :)
Here is the list:
Bear-llionaire (Billionaire - Travie Mccoy ft. Bruno Mars)
Who's That Bear? (Who's That Chick? - David Guetta ft. Rihanna)
Wonderbear (Wonderman - Tinie Tempah ft. Ellie Goulding)
White Bear (White Horse - Taylor Swift)
Do It Like a Bear (Do It Like A Dude - Jessie J)
California Bearz (California Gurls - Katy Perry)
Only Bear (Only Girl - Rihanna)
Where Is The Bear? (Where Is The Love? - Black Eyed Peas)
OMB (OMG - Usher)
The Bear Who Murdered Love (The Boy Who Murdered Love - Diana Vickers)
Guns And Bears (Guns And Horses - Ellie Goulding)
Bear Bear Bear (Blah Blah Blah - Ke$ha)

And the list just goes on and on and on...

Coment if you have any more Bear-related songs for us to be singing!

This was good enough to make Mexx Bear laugh...!

As Mexx was a little down-in-the-dumps today, I just happened to make up a few jokes about her that happened to be...mildly related to Tinie Tempah. Here is what I said (Remember: When you are reading this, read all the italic words in the way they sound in their song. Have fun!):
Oh look Stas, Bear looks as though she is going to Pass Out, it might be because she's feelin' a little Frisky! Oooh! Bear's Tempah is wearing thin, it's probably been reduced to this Tinie little thing by now! Actually, on second thoughts, Bear is Invincible, so I'm sure she'll be fine! After all, she is just abouts Wonderbear :)
Yep, those jokes really were Written In The Stars! (Btw, I had to say the Wonderbear part quickly or else I would have recieved a slap on the face)
Check back on this blog frequently as we make more joke Discoverys!

Comment if you have any more Tinie Tempah related jokes for Mexx!

Today...

I shall start this post off by talking about tomorrow first.
Tomorrow sees all of us doing some exams, which Mexx is particularly worried about! She has been panicking all day about it. It has just left ANT and Master laughing their heads off! They find it hilarious how Mexx thinks she is an idiot or that she is dumb! It is absolute nonsense! By the way, that is all I have to say about today. Here is a short summary: Mexx Bear runs around hysterically panicking about exams. Everybody else find her actions hilarious!
In previous years, Mexx has been known for snapping pencils, but this time, if she does snap a pencil then it may cost her for her answer paper to be confiscated and ripped up. This also happens if you happen to turn round and make eye contact during the test. So, if any of our papers are ripped up tomorrow because we turned round to find out what that big 'snap' behind us was, then we can be sure to blame it Bear...! But I am sure it will not come to that and Bear shall remain calm (I hope I am right).
I hope everybody does well tomorrow! Good Luck! (;

Mexx's New Name = EPIC!!!!!

Wadz came up with a new name for Mexx Bear today, and it has driven Mexx absolutely insane!

Here is a list of all of Mexx's names:
Mexx Bear
Solar Panel
Caveman
Colon
Coka Cola
AND here is her new name...
...wait for it...
...BAD KID BEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The reason for this name is simple, it's because she is a totally bad kid!!! :)

Happy Valentines Day! ♥

I hope that everyone has had a great Valentines Day!
Lots of lo♥e from all the Gerbils!

This is a "BEST JOKE" award winner in the UK

Nasha emailed this to me, and I thought it was so good that it deserved to be on a post on this blog! Thanks Nasha! Here is the joke:

One Chinese person walks into a bar in America late one night and he saw Steven Spielberg. As he was a great fan of his movies, he rushes over to him, and asks for his autograph.

Instead, Spielberg gives him a slap and says "You Chinese people bombed our Pearl Harbor, get out of here."

The astonished Chinese man replied "It was not the Chinese who bombed your Pearl Harbor, it was the Japanese".
"Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, you're all the same," replied Spielberg.

In return, the Chinese gives Spielberg a slap and says "You sank the Titanic; my forefathers were on that ship."

Shocked, Spielberg replies "It was the iceberg that sank the ship, not me." The Chinese replies, "Iceberg, Spielberg, Carlsberg, you're all the same."
 
This particular joke won the best joke in a competition in Britain.

What's up?

Hey there, gerbils!
Hope you are all having a good Sunday! What's everybody up to?

NEW!!! Graeme Watch

Move over, Bird Watch...
...make way for...wait for it...Graeme Watch!
What does everybody think of the idea of having a Graeme Watch Corner?
For those who don't know who Graeme is, well, Graeme is a sixth former at Nasha Academy, who Ruby, ANT and I are obssessed with! He is a really cool dude, who we are sometimes lucky enough to see walking around the Academy.
Please leave your thoughts by ticking one of the boxes below this post. Thanks a gerbillion, I look forward to hearing from you!

Audition!

Had a great time today with Mexx and The Halester auditioning for the Young Musician's Competition. We didn't get through, but ho-hum, we gave it our best shot and had a great time!

Speed Stacking

Today in form time, Master's form and others were doing speed stacking (for those who don't know what speed stacking is, it is just where you have cups and you have to stack them up in various formations). When it was Master's turn, being the kungfu master Master is, they parted way for her to get through. Master unfortunately didn't do too well, but still they all cheered (?) and said it was because Master was too fast for the cups!!! Some of thosedudesare very strange! (;

Pencils...!

Today, Nasha, Mexx, Master and lots of others took part in a Maths Challenge at Nasha Academy. In previous years Mexx Bear has been known for smapping pencils when frustrated at a question she cannot answer. This year, Nasha and Master were joking to Mexx about it. Thankfully no pencils were damaged at the end of the day. Now Mexx is going around calling us suckers just to prove her point. Does Mexx realise that Nasha and Master were just kiddin'? All in all, it was a cool experience! :)

Nearly burst out laughing...

Today in our English class at Nasha Academy, the teacher said 'speedily', and Mexx and I nearly burst out laughing! You know, just because of the word 'speedily' (if you are unsure of what I am talking about then read the related story in the section named 'News from Nasha Academy')

Wow! This is amazing!

Everybody, you have to go and check out Wadz's blog. If you scroll down there is a section named 'Norrisism', and it is absolutely brilliant! It literally made my jaw drop, and then I started laughing! Also go and take part in her poll about who is the best character. You can find Wadz's blog in the 'Other blogs' section or right here: http://www.atube-wadz.blogspot.com/
Enjoy! Peace to all you gerbils!

I've been in the Bear's Cave!

I went to Mexx Bear's Cave today after school! It was amazing! We had a great time! Thanks for having me over today Mexx! :)

Stas' new name

We see the birth of a new name for Stas. Mexx bear and I decided to give her a new name. We will still call her Stas but here is her alternative name: Brybry (pronouced brie-brie) You like it?

Enjoy!

Last day of January...

Well, as we reach the end of this month, we have to say goodbye to this month's gerbil pic. But come back tomorrow to see February's 'Pic of the Month'!
February is actually quite a funny word. I was discussing with ANT this morning about how when we were young we'd always spell it wrong. We'd always spell it as 'Febuary', without the 'r' after the 'b'. And then one morning Master found out the correct spelling and had to go back in all Master's excercise books and change the spelling! LOL! Good times...
