Ten Tings

Meme!!! Ten things about me. Let'sa Go!*


  1. Today is my birfday.
  2. I'm 16.
  3. I'm the one who told Alice about Chick-Fil-A. She had actually never even heard of Chick-Fil-A before I told her.
  4. All the computers in my school are four minutes fast. Every single one.
  5. Right at this very moment people from band are playing music. (Turning around and watching. Shhh.)
  6. The people played Oh Come All Ye Faithful and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. It was just four girls playing flutes. Twas nice.
  7. I wish I could play the violin.
  8. My brother reminds me of my uncle (Dad) and my grandpa (Mom). It's pretty funny (odd).
  9. I'm in the library and there is a guy talking about how he wants to see beer cans when he walks into his dorm room. Loser.

A Family


Numeros Cuatro y Cinco

Number Four
Oh my goodness!! I only just looked at James's blog and saw that his five part meme is due tomorrow! I don't know what would happen if we didn't make it in time, but I'm not going to try and find out.
The fourth part is your favorite actor and band/singer. Hmm. What to put? I don't think I have one. I have favorite genre, but that switches a lot. So I like most music. I'll listen to almost anything. Out of the iTunes genres:
  • Alternative
  • Blues
  • Children's music
  • Christian and gospel
  • Classical
  • Comedy
  • Country
  • Dance
  • Electronic
  • Folk
  • Hip-hop/rap
  • Holiday
  • Jazz
  • Latino
  • Pop
  • R&B/Soul
  • Reggae
  • Rock
  • Soundtrack
  • Vocal
  • World

The ones I won't listen to are reggae and rap. Now there's a difference between hip-hop and rap. Rap is just someone talking rhythmically. Hip-hop has something else to listen to besides someones nasty lyrics.

Number Five
Number five is: What movie you are dying to go see? Hmm. Well there are some movies that I haven't seen in a while that I want to see. Monsters Inc., Beauty and the Beast, Into the Woods, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. WE HAVE ALL OF THESE MOVIES! We have Monsters Inc. on video, and out VCR is broken. We have Beauty and the Beast, Into the Woods, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail on LASER DISC! The laser disc player is broken. It's quite sad.
What movies do I want to see in theaters? Umm. Enchanted, I Am Legend, and I'm also gonna want to see National Treasure: The Book of Secrets which comes out on Friday.

I think this is everything. AWESOME!! I'm done! I've completed the meme! FIRST!

Tee Hee

Last night my sister (R) was standing on the couch and singing,
"Good morning Voldemort!!!"
An accidental adjustment in the original lyrics "Good morning Baltimore".

Number Tree!

The third part of James's meme is your favorite board game. As many of you know my family is sort of the game family. We have spread different games far and wide to everyone we know. We really should get paid. So I don't have one favorite game. I have a list, but I guess most/none of these are actually board games.


-Puerto Rico: A delightful game where you build your own colony. It's pretty hard to explain but let's just say that my favorite part is when the colonists (those little brown dots in the picture) come to your colony.*
-The Great Dalmuti: An awesome game that teaches the lesson that "life is not fair." (Nasty pictures though.) Spider pit, spider pit.
-Greedy Hands: An exciting game that will either make or break you.
-Citadels: A super fun game. Just make sure that James doesn't become king.


*It's pretty funny. When the come I greet them. "Heeellloooo little people! Thank you for coming to my colony!!"

It Takes TWO!!

The second part of James's meme is the easiest song you can get stuck in your head.
Now I'm having trouble with this. Does it mean the simplest song that gets in my head or is it the song that's in my head the most?
Well, I won't do either of those. I'll do my favorite song.
It is.....
"It Takes Two" from "Into the Woods" but you see, it must be sung with Chip Zien. MUST.
I don't know what it is, but his voice makes me melt. It might just be in that song, but still...
Here is a clip, but you have to go to the very end. That's when they sing the song.
If you've never seen "Into the Woods" then you MIGHT be confused when you watch the clip. And if you haven't seen it then see it! It's fablus.

New!

Dad is getting his new car RIGHT now. It's a silver prius.


Awesome.

And I got new shoes yesterday. :D

Numero Uno

James has a meme for everyone to do. The first part is your favorite kid TV show that you saw when you were young.
My favorite TV show was/is probably....



The wonderful PBS kids TV show Arthur. We have a rule where we're not allowed to watch TV during the week unless it's a day off from school. We also had the simplest kind of cable. After Sept. 11th our pictures came in really fuzzy. Some were not as bad and others were really terrible.
We got the best picture during the fall and winter. Which was fine except we could only watch Arthur on Fridays because it wasn't on over the weekend.
During the summer we could watch TV everyday. The only problem was that you couldn't see the shows on PBS at all. Everyday we would check to see if we could see a little bit of PBS. When we could pick out the shapes of the characters and understand what they were saying it was the best day ever. Most of the time it was black and white fuzz, and a really loud buzzing noise.
I remember one day I turned on the TV and you could see and hear the people, but there was also COLOR! It was still really fuzzy, but who cares! I sort of ran into Mom's room and yelled that Arthur was on. I was SUPER excited.
Our TV had another problem. Something was wrong because sometimes the whole screen would go a red/black color and you would have to hit the TV to get it back to it's correct color. You would have to hit the TV less and less as it warmed up.
Since the best shows were in the morning, you can guess how Mom and Dad woke up each morning.
It wasn't a soft tap either. You had to hit the TV REALLY hard.
I remember one time when the P-kins came over and we were watching some sort of show or movie. Well the kids new about the secret of hitting the TV, and one time Christian got up and started hitting the TV when it had turned its sickly color. Bro. P-kins started saying/yelling at him for hitting our TV, and all of our family at once said, "Oh no! That's what your supposed to do."
There were many tricks to our TV. One was that you had to make sure nothing breakable was on top of the TV while you were hitting it. If there was something it would probably fall and die. Another was that you didn't have to hit it hard every time. Sometimes if you stared at it hard enough it would change. In its younger years you could just stomp on the floor and it would change back.
Ahh the good old days.
It doesn't matter now. We have a new TV that doesn't need any sort of hitting (not yet at least).
But we don't have TV shows. No more Arthur for me. I love Arthur, but the problem is, is that all the voices are different, so now I'm disappointed whenever I catch a glimpse of it at someone else's TV.
That's my answer. Arthur.
LAV IT!

Do it or die

Now Here's the deal. You MUST do this. (Alice correct me if I'm wrong) Christmas is coming the goose is getting.... ICY!!!!!
People! People! LISTEN! It's the holiday season and Santa Clause is comin' round, but there must be winter snow that's white on the ground!
It's probably the most wonderful time of the year because of all the wonderful weather. What I need you all to do is....
-Always sleep with you pajamas inside out.
-Sleep with a LICKED metal spoon under your pillow. (Must be licked each night).
-And check the weather every five minutes.
What is this for? It's for getting our snow (even though ice is better).
This truly works. I'll have Alice tell you the story.
Those bells won't jingle unless Kris Kringle has some snow for his sleigh!!! OKAY?!?!

Extra Credit: How many songs did I mention in this post?
Super Extra Credit: What book was I thinking of when I wrote the post?

Alright, alright, ALRIGHT (exclamation points) I'm posting (exclamation point) Are you happy?(exclamation point)? There seems to be some sort of problem with my keyboard. There is no number one, and with no number one there is no exclamation point. Tis horrible.
Now I must tell you all about my name.
M.Q.C. = Mary Quite Contrary. I am stuck with this name.
I can't say that I'm not contrary, because then I am. I can't say that I am, because... then I am. WHAT SHOULD I DO ?(exclamation point)?(exclamation point)?(exclamation point)
People, help me with the awesome-est comeback for this nickname. I don't mind being called MQC as long as I can make a witty remark about it. I NEED WITTY(exclamation points)
Thanks for the help.*
Look at the weather this weekend. It looks lovely!!!!!**

*You better help me.
** Oh My GOSH!!! I didn't even realize. There is another button where the one is supposed to be.
Now I can do them!! What ever is to the left of the one is not there, and the key right above it. No time to change now the bell is going to ring.

Bored Baby Story

I wrote this about a year ago.

Okay,
So one time Sam and I were walking down our road, and we were walking walking, counting how many piles of dog plops we could see. Then we heard this noise in the "woods" so we just kept on walking, la di da di da. Then we heard it again, and along with that a little growl, kinda like a... thing in the back of your throat. Oh! Like when I make my demon voice, that's what the noise was. Okay. Getting creeped out we are walking walking, then jumped out of the woods was a RABID RABBIT. Like the Monty Python rabbit, only slightly less terrifying. So there it was running in circles, foaming at the mouth, eyes all popping out. I scream, Sam yelps, and we just stand there staring. Then I start jumping up and down freaking out, and I start running in circles wondering what to do, but then I accidentally kicked it. It went flying back into the woods and Sam and I run for our lives. THEN I fall down, break all of my fingers trying to catch myself. I'm in quite a large amount of pain... and then my eyes open.
I turn over, it's 4:50am, and "Movin' Out" by Billy Joel is playing on the radio. And in 25 precious minutes I have to get out of bed.
Ugh. What a horrible dream*.

*Not a real dream.

Not so Wednesday

I give up!! I was waiting to put this picture up on Wednesday, but I couldn't hold it in. Besides I had piano today, and I usually have that on Wednesdays. So there.

I'm Singing in the Drain

I have a chorus concert on December 5th at 7:30. Just so everyone knows. It's going to be pretty awful. We sing, I think, three songs.
-"It's the Holiday Season" - I basically hate this song. It's not my style. I can't sing it well.
-"From an Irish Cabin" - Lovely song, if you want to fall asleep.
-"Shine On Me" - My personal favorite. Quite exciting. One problem. I'm the only one who actually sings. Unless this awesome person comes, but she doesn't seem to come too often.

Be there or be square.

Wednesday

I'm intrigued by the Wordless Wednesday and whatnot.


Saturday, November 17, 2007

RICE!!!

Look at this! It's totally awesome. Those of you with a way with words MUST do this. I'm not that good, but I didn't try very hard. I kind of don't want to explain it because the sun is in my eyes and I can't see the screen.

Meme of Death

OKAY! Okay. I know that Alice didn't tag me for this one, but I insist on "doing" it.

This meme is...
My Top Ten Fictional Characters From Novels That I Am Madly In Love With And Would Gladly Meet, Fall In Love With And Live Happily Ever After Were I Not Under 18 And In No Situation Whatsoever To Begin Any Sort Of Romantic Connections; Fictional Or Otherwise.

Alice's first one is my inspiration for the tagging of myself.

"Edward Cullen- I guarantee that every other girl I send this meme to with have the exact same number one as me. Edward is the unbelievably gorgeous, sensitive, vegetarian vampire that is the star of Stephenie Meyer's genius Twilight. Yes, Jacob is cool, but Edward is........incredible! The whole fictionality of him (is fictionality a word Luisa?) is what makes him so... Do you know that phrase, "You want what you can't have". Well, there you go! Completely fictional and unreachable, even to the main mistress Bella, and completely mysterious and enigmatic."

Uhh. Is that a money back guarantee!?! Because I'm pretty sure Edward wouldn't even be on my top 10! Oh snap!!
No. I don't care much for Eddy, he... annoys me. Ugh! Look what you've done! Now next time I see people I'm just going to yell, "NO!! You're wrong! Why Edward!?" The more I think about it the more I (Dare I say it? ...No.) super dislike him. Jacob. Only Jacob.
*Evil Look (that means you, Jess)*

I'm right you're wrong. That is all I have to say about this entire subject.

Don't forget the "contest" for the picture.

Sunday, November 11, 2007

Would you like a bucket-o-baby?

Right here is where you can see an... uncanny picture. Indeed, 'tis special. On another blog there has been a fill in the blank sort of thing. Describe what is going on in the picture. Two comments have been:

Duh- this is clearly straight from a Mother Goose book.
You know the one-Jill and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a bucket-o-baby,
Jill made a mess of her unflattering dress,
And the other Jill made a lovely blackbaby pie.
AND

That the child in the bucket was clearly the evil overlord.
Both very lovely stories. I would love to see what other people think of this picture. Leave a comment on this post about what you think is going on in this picture. A nice little story will do. I will choose my favorite, post it, and that person will be famous.
Rules:
-You have to comment the story. No telling or emailing me the story. They won't count.
-It has to be in by Thanksgiving-eve.
-You have to do it.

Mother

Mom tells me everything.*

A list of things she tells me*
- Various people were moving.
- Maria (my aunt) was getting married.
- Grandma's dog died.
- My cousin was born.
- And probably a lot more.

*I had to figure these things out all by myself.

Dictionary.com

I had some English homework to do. I had to analyze a quote and then relate pieces of literature (that we have read this year) to the quote. The quote is, “No one wants advice - - only corroboration.” I had to look up what corroboration meant. So I go to dictionary.com and type in corroboration and it says:

1.
the act of corroborating.
2.
a corroboratory fact, statement, etc.

Lovely.

The Dumplings (insert scary music here)

There seems to be some controversy about the infamous chicken and dumplings. I have heard many a rumor about these dumplings. And as I hear these many stories I put my own story together creating the ultimate truthful* story of The Chicken and Dumplings


Chef Karen will be competing against Iron Chef Chow Doun for the ultimate prize of 1 katrillion dollars! Secret ingredient... anything you like. Lauren (14), Will (12), and Julia (7) (Ben wasn't there) will be judging to see who will become the next Iron Chef.... of the WORLD!
With 1 hour to cook the ultimate meal Chef Karen and Iron Chef Chow Doun set out on the most extreme competition of their lives. They get to work. Chef Karen is working on what looks like some sort of a dumpling soup, and it seems like Iron Chef Doun is working on some pizza.
15 minutes into the competition and Chef Karen is working hard to get those dumplings done in time. So far it seems that Chef Doun only has enough pizza for one, but is he making enough food for all 3 judges? We'll be back right after this commercial break.

Child: Mommy Mommy! Can I have some Ovaltine?!
Mother: Sure dear.
Child: Mmmmm. Ovaltine...... HOT!

And were back with 30 minutes left on the clock and Chef Karen is right on schedule for her chicken and dumplings, and Iron Chef Doun looks like he's opening up a bag of... is it candy? Yes, it looks like a big bag of Halloween candy. Let's look back at Chef Karen and see how she's doing. Wow! it looks like this is really stressful for Chef Karen as she is trying to cook the chicken to perfection and get the dumplings just right. Let's ask her how she thinks she's doing.
"Well everything is going great. What I'm trying to do is create a new taste for the judges, and I really hope they like it."
Well We hope so too. Now let's see how Iron Chef Chow Doun is doing.
"好地比萨饼在去大。以及糖果在盘子完美被放置。我在尝试而不是做出同样的膳食为每法官创造一种不同的膳食。"**
Well that sounds interesting. We have 10 minutes left on the clock, and it looks like Chef Karen might finish with a little time to spare. And Iron Chef Doun seems to be pouring a big bowl of KIX cereal.

5...4...3...2...1!
Alright Chefs, step away from your food!

Iron Chef Chow Doun will be serving his food first. He places the pizza in front of Lauren, the cereal in front of Will, and the plate of candy in front of Julia. They all take their first bite, and smiles appear on their faces.
Lauren says, "This pizza is exquisite! The way the cheese and sauce melt together on the bread, it's genius!"
Will exclaims, "This is the best bowl of cereal I've ever had. It's truly remarkable. I have nothing else to say except, well done!"
Through a mouth full of candy Julia says, "How did you know?! You knew exactly where my soft spot was. I'm not going to be able to stop, this candy is fantastic!"
The three judges eat all their food greedily forgetting completely that there is still another meal to judge.
Now it's time to see what the judges think of Chef Karen's chicken and dumplings. Each judge gets one bowl of soup.
They all stare at the soup and with a swish of their hand they all say. "It looks fine, but I'm way too full to eat anything else."
And that ends this episode of Iron Chef.... of the WORLD. Iron Chef Chow Doun gets the title and the reward money.

What is the moral of this story? If you're going to make a questionable dinner that you are testing on your family for the first time, starve your children.
As my motha always says, "Hunger is the best sauce."


*This story is completely false.
**Well the pizza is going great. And the candy is placed perfectly on the plate. I'm trying to create a different meal for each judge instead of making the same meal.
(That Chinese it totally real. It says exactly that.)

La la la Lollipop!

According to... Alice Sista P. started the blog trend of our ward. I would like to disagree. Sister P. had a blog for a LONG time. I actually think James started the trend. Once I saw that he had one I was inspired. Then Alice made one, and now...... MAITE! I now think blogging is an epidemic.
On my way out from Spanish class, I think I made up a song. It goes like this: La la la la la la la la la la la la BLEHHHHH! What are the notes? Not a clue, but whenever I sing the song in my head I start cracking up. So it's obviously a really awesome song.
What do I DO in Spanish? Today we played bingo. Quite fun, won a homework pass. But every other day I usually practice my signature. Still no progress.

Wednesday, October 24, 2007

Woot!!

Oh my goodness! I totally forgot to tag somebody for the meme. Who do I tag? The one and only JAMES!

Also I got 101% on my biochemistry test!!!!! Shocking, I know. And AMAZING!!

VICTORY!!!

Tuesday, October 23, 2007

Me Me ME!

So there are these "quiz" type things, almost like the quizes at blogthings. I was tagged by Sis. P, who was tagged by Radioactive Jam, who just happens to be really funny and is another blog that I admire (stalk). Anyway! This is supposed to be 8 random things about me. So lets get this train wreck a-rollin'!



Uno. I can type 55 wpm.

2. In the beginning of the school year teachers give their classes a "get to know you" worksheet. One sheet has many little boxes that have a statement. Such as, "I play an instrument" or, "I was born in a foreign country" What you have to do with this sheet is get a signature in each of the boxes. Follow? No? I'll explain later. One time we were doing this in health. And yes, one of the boxes was, " I was born in a foreign country" So one person walks up to me and says, "Where were you born?"

I say, " Uhhh Utah...?"

He says, "Oh great! Can you sign your name right there? (pointing to foreign country box)"

America, I pity thee.

4. I think I'm going to have Swedish meatballs for my birthday dinner, along with something made out of potatoes.

5. Today (Tuesday 10/23) I took a pre-test in biology today on biochemistry. I got a 89% (40/45)! Which was so much more than I thought was was gonna get.

6.
You Scored an A
You got 10/10 questions correct.
It's pretty obvious that you don't make basic grammatical errors.If anything, you're annoyed when people make simple mistakes on their blogs.As far as people with bad grammar go, you know they're only human.And it's humanity and its current condition that truly disturb you sometimes.
The It's Its There Their They're Quiz


7.
You Are Apple Pie

You're the perfect combo of comforting and traditional
Those who like you crave security


8.
You Are a Blue Crayon

Your world is colored in calm, understated, deep colors.
You are a loyal person, and the truest friend anyone could hope to find.
On the inside, you tend to be emotional and even a bit moody.
However, you know that people depend on you. So you put on a strong front.

Your color wheel opposite is orange. Orange people may be opinionated, but you feel they lack the depth to truly understand what they're saying.


9. I skipped number three. ;)

Wait! Stop!

I DON'T LIKE HOT DOGS! Just so everyone knows. Unless I'm starving at a Jubilee rehearsal, I will not eat a hot dog. Don't give me a hot dog (or a veggie dog.... hot veggie?) I will NOT eat it.
I also do not like pickles.* Don't give me a pickle for Christmas.**
If anything else comes up then I'll have to make a list of everything I don't like. I don't want to do that. It would be a very long list.
So people, please, use your better judgement.

*I had a slight over usage of the word pickle.
** People, being confused by my love of the WORD pickle, thought I loved pickles. Thinking I would like a pickle for Christmas. For their sake, it's a good thing they didn't do it.

Newsies

If the earth was square you wouldn't fall off the edge. Think of THAT! Can you study for math? I don' t think so. I mean, you can, but who would? And where is my hot dog?! (Two different links. One on hot, one on dog.)
But here are some of my Newsies (Santa Fe!)
-Breaking news-
The Derby household has just acquired a new computer game. What game? This game, Settlers 6. It's pretty painful, but also extremely delightful. Does that make sense? I THINK NOT!
I need glasses. I will look awfully awful wearing them. The bad news is, contacts are against of my religion. So there.
This is a strange "thing" isn't it? A tad odd. ;)
-Sad news-
This happened a while ago, but our Chinese food place burned down. I KNOW! What shall we do?!?!
-Happy news-
Birthday!!!! In... (Doing the math, it's gonna take a while) 78 days?
Mathematical error!
It's 82 days until Christmas.

Note to self

Just in case nobody new, it's REALLY gross when people blow their nose at the table. Specifically while people are eating. This has now happened to me WAY too many times. It must end now! I would prefer it if nobody ever blew their nose, but then I think of the effect of that.... yuck.

Thursday, September 27, 2007

-Rolls eyes-

There seems to be some suspicions about what the "health thing" is about. It's about colored personalities. Once I get all the information then I'll share it all with you. It's all very interesting. It's not gross....
-.-

Bean the Fly Slayer

That's me! I wasn't going to post because I was waiting for something, but I decided to post anyway. That doesn't make much sense. We're learning something in health, and I want to post about it, but I don't have enough information about it. There, that's better.
I HATE DBQs and Thematic essays. They are the two worst things ever. I think I have to do one by Tuesday. Hmm. I should find out.
Good news! James posted!
And I'll give you a preview of what the Health thing is about. Some people might be able to tell what I'm talking about. I am blue and yellow.

Monday, September 24, 2007

News

So I was reading Sis. P-kins blog. Specifically a post about James. Reading, reading, reading, STOP! Utter-shock. James and I... have the same nickname: Bean. Holy cow! Totally excited. -High five- James and I are too cool for school! WE WIN!

Saturday, September 22, 2007

Oh look!

I now remember that I wanted to put some of my poems on the blog.
I wrote this poem last year. We were given a plethora of objects, and had to choose one to write a poem about. I chose the lemon.

Is it magic,
how you turn something so sour,
into something oh so sweet?
To turn a little lemon,
into a delightful treat?
To take a bunch of lemons,
and turn it to lemonade?
This magic is so wonderful,
we should throw a big parade.
The people who work this magic,
should win a Nobel prize.
Because these things we eat so much,
are really lemons in disguise!
Hmm. I've written better. Like this one! I wrote this one right before I went to girls camp.
I don't like long trips, I don't like them one bit.
That's just too long, for having to rest and sit.
I get a little car sick, and a bit anxious too.
These long car trips are hard to get through.
So for this whole thing, you're gonna have to wish me good luck.
For I have a feeling I'm going to up-chuck.
Don't get me wrong, this is all very fun.
But I'll be glad, when this is all said and done.
I'll be back on Saturday, too tired to stand.
My hair all messed up, and a bag in my hand.
I'll go straight to bed, never wishing to wake.
I won't even wake up, if there is an earthquake.
I have to get going now, away to my death.
I can't think of a next line that goes with death.
Ha ha ha.

Victory is truly half mine!

For a while there has been a contest on another blog. This was the contest: http://thederbyrose.blogspot.com/2007/09/i-need-some-creative-help.html. My entry was "Angel wings and little things" So here are the results: http://thederbyrose.blogspot.com/2007/09/and-winner-is.html. Of course, only half of my entry won. But that's good enough for me!

Prepare yourself

Exactaly 3 months until my birthday. Get ready!

Victory?

I killed it!!! I win! What I did was I trapped it in the bathroom. Then I stepped on it. To tell you the truth, I felt a tad remorseful about it. I'll spare you the details of what actually happened, but it was kinda evil. I don't miss it, but I still feel bad. :'(
We had good times together.

Evil beings

We have a super fly. Seriously, every time it gets near me I stop everything I'm doing to try and kill it. I could have sworn that flies only live for 24 hours. That might be true for most flies, but not this one. Ergo SUPER fly. I'm thinking of ways to kill the fly when in the car today I remember Sis M-tez's technique... vacuuming them. I know, I'm as shocked as you are. I would love to vacuum this evil fly, but there are three reasons why I shouldn't do this. One: Our vacuum is way too bulky to run around the house with. Two: I would probably break everything in the house trying to catch the fly. Three: I would act like a total fanatic and people at the bus stop would question my sanity.
So you see my problem. What I really want is for the fly to drop dead. But I think that's out of the question.

Disney Laughs

Fake laughter hurts!

If you know anybody who has been suffering from Disney Laughter Disorder (DLD) please contact this number: (123)-456-7890. Someone you may know might be diagnosed with Dumb Show That Was Never Funny Disease (DSTWNFD).

This is something serious and should not be handled lightly.

(Fake number... Don't call.)

I only know of two...

I too like the smell of skunk, it relaxes me. Okay, so maybe not the first whiff. But with the second intake of breath, I get very calmed. I only know of one other person who shares my admiring of this smell.
I don't know if that's how the other few people view it, but I like it.
So hooray for skunks and their self defensive smelliness!

Welcome Home

Hey everyone! Look, tis a blog! This is nifty. WHAT am I going to do with this whole thing?! This will be great when I have nothing to do with a free period. Awesome. I would be more excited, but I'm pretty tired. And I actually have a lot to do. Hmm. I should probably get to work on that. Like my flowers?
