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.

"A paperclip can be a wondrous thing. More times than I can remember one of these has gotten me out of a tight spot..."

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.

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.

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.

Mi Familia!

Here are the rules for the contest:

Awesome.

PS - M-tez, it will probably be best if you don't watch.

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.)
