Intro

          Hello, Internet!
This is a blog by me and my sister. I consider us both fairly awesome, although she deserves some extra credit for giving me her chocolate (sometimes). We are unschoolers, and it's not what you think it's like. We aren't hippies who believe in peace and love and smoking pot (although we have nothing against stuff like peace and love), we aren't ultra-religious homeschooling kids who memorize passages from the bible every day (although we have nothing against religion), and we aren't those "radical unschooler" kids who run amok with absolutely no restrictions. Believe me, our mom would never let us do that. Here's what we are:

Lily: (that's me!)

• Writer- I love creative writing. I'll come up with an idea that I'm insanely enthusiastic about, brainstorm for weeks, write 200 pages, get frustrated and give up, find it months later and finish it. 
• Human rights activist- I'm crazy about fighting discrimination and hate crime, but that's a whole other blog. (Hint: the URL is http://worldimprovementproject.blogspot.com/.) 
• Foodie- food is amazing. End of story. 
• Broadway nerd- music is amazing, theater is amazing, so therefore musical theater must be double amazing. I know the lyrics to all my favorite show tunes, and I should probably wear a sign that says: "WARNING: May spew Broadway facts randomly". 
• Unschooler- my favorite "core subjects" are history, math, and literature. I like watching documentaries about different historical periods around the world, I'm currently learning Vedic math, a form of Indian mental math, and I read Shakespeare as a hobby. No joke. My favorite plays are Hamlet and a Midsummer Night's Dream. 

Lisi: (the little sis)

• Art junkie- she loves drawing, painting, collage, you name it. She will lock herself in her room and do art for hours and hours on end... During which I get kind of lonely, being an extrovert...
• Animal lover- she thinks that animals are the greatest thing to happen to this planet since chocolate. Which I respectfully disagree with. I think AC/DC is the greatest thing to happen to this planet since chocolate. Animals are a close second, though. We have two dogs (a Yorkie named Romeo and a pitbull mix named Tinkerbell) and a cat named Wijic. 
• Otaku- she's an avid manga/anime fan with a fondness for Vocaloid music. (Google it. It's weird but can be cool too.)
• Disney fan (as am I)- sometimes there's nothing better than building a pillow fort, grabbing a carton of ice cream and two spoons, and watching your favorite Disney movie with your sister. 
• Unschooler- her favorite things about unschooling are getting to choose what she learns about, that she can study however she wants, like making Shakespeare themed puppet shows and Prezis about Finland, and having more free time to spend hanging out with family and friends. 

What this Blog is About:

          This blog is where Lisi and I will post about the stuff we learn as unschoolers. I'm not sure who will be interested, but it'll be fun for us. So, enjoy the weirdness and fun of unschooling!
