See how often I'm updating? I'm really trying to post something every other day, but I know this is the second day in a row, hope nobody minds. :-)

Guess what? I'm working on a new contest! That's all I'll say for now. . . .hehe.

I changed the HOME page up a little bit, felt it was a little too. . .whimsical. (Oh, Lily. Have I made you happy?) And it didn't make enough sense. So I shook it up, changed the poll a little, although with the poll I added some. . .strange whimsical things. If you'll take a look, you will see a glimpse of what goes on inside my head when I am all hyper.

So, I know I keep saying this, but I AM working on the Artwork Page. You have all been so patient (as far as I know) waiting for it, so I know I really need to get on it. But I am, I promise.

Well, I just read a neat book. I was really bored and had nothing to read, so I stole a book, HATCHET, out of my brother's room. True, it's about a thirteen year old boy back in 1990, but it's still wonderful. This kid, Brian, was in a bush plane flying over Canada when the pilot had a heart attack, and the plane crashed into a lake. This Brian dude is stuck out in the wilderness for fifty-four days all by himself. It was a little scary, and on the back of my book it says, NOT FOR CHILDREN 12 OR UNDER. Well. I read it. At night. I won't do that again. I'm so easy to scare.

I just watched TANGLED the other night. I know, I know, why didn't I watch it sooner? But still, it was adorable! I loved it. Now I am a fan of chameleons. Well, that last sentence was unexpected. I suppose I'll leave it up anyway.

I have to go to a history class, so I have to stop blogging. And tonight is Teen Night at my art class, so I'm going to go. Which means I won't have time to blog later. And after I get home, which will be about 10pm, I will watch LOST until midnight. Or later. Thanks for reading my posts!

P.S.~ Did you guys notice my foreign language sidebar update? If so, what do you think it says?   (Well, good thing we've got Google Translate.)

 
Hi everyone! Well, I have some funny jokes for you all, and not just,
 
Knock Knock, who's there? Boo. Boo Who?

Lol. Not that I have anything against this joke. . .Actually, I'm not going to lie. It's ridiculous. And hopefully, the ones below are better. 

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was
physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was
a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that
Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a
whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little
girl said, 'When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah'. The teacher asked, 'What if
Jonah went to hell?' The little girl replied, 'Then you ask him'.

A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were
drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work. As she
got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing
was. The girl replied, 'I'm drawing God.' The teacher paused and said,
'But no one knows what God looks like.' Without missing a beat, or looking up
from her drawing, the girl replied, 'They will in a minute.'

A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with
her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to 'honour'
thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, 'Is there a commandment that teaches us
how to treat our brothers and sisters?' Without missing a beat one little
boy (the oldest of a family) answered, 'Thou shall not kill.'

One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen
sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white
hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head. She looked at her
mother and inquisitively asked, 'Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?' Her
mother replied, 'Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry
or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white.' The little girl thought about
this revelation for a while and then said, 'Mommy, how come ALL of
grandma's hairs are white?'

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to
persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. 'Just think how nice it
will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer,
she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.' A small
voice at the back of the room rang out, 'And there's the teacher,
she's dead.'

A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the
matter clearer, she said, 'Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you
know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face.' 'Yes,' the
class said. 'Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary
position the blood doesn't run into my feet?' A little fellow shouted, 'Cause
your feet ain't empty.'

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary
school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The
nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray: 'Take only ONE . God is
watching.' Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table
was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a
note, 'Take all you want. God is watching the apples.'

 
Well, I don't have any time to blog, so I hope I'll make up for it with these two videos!
Aren't these the cutest? Now I want a baby bunny, and a kitten. Oh well, I already have two grown cats. But still. . .
 
I know, I know. I haven't said anything to anyone or updated in a while. . .Sorry. Anyway, my life has been so busy! I've been working on the finale of THE TRIAL, trying to finish Math for the year, getting together with friends, doing art, cleaning, and also learning that life is too short.

I know I sound all preachy, but, see, I wanted to volunteer at an animal shelter. I really wanted to do some volunteer work, but with animals, because, no offense, but sometimes I like animals more than people. So I went to Google and looked up all of the Animal Shelters around me, and found that you have to be at least fifteen, which clearly, I am not.  And I think that life is too short to have to be as old as fifteen to work with animals. I mean, I have a billion of them, and I'm good with them.
Well, this isn't a place to voice complaints, so I'll just shut up about that now.

There is a really cool app for iTouches and iPhones that is called MSLite. Or just MS, the more expensive version. This app makes really beautiful slideshows and I just love it! I made one about our trip to England. :-) The difference between MSLite and MS is that on MSLite you can only put three pictures in the slideshow and one caption each. On MS youcan put tons more. But it is still awesome.

So there was just a huge tornado that came through North Carolina, and about a half-mile from my house, things are obliterated. OMG it was so close, we could see and hear it. We had to take shelter in our bathroom under the stairs, and with four people, two cats, and a dog, I can tell you just how roomy it was.  It barely missed us, and we didn't have electricity for about seven hours. But that wasn't too bad, compared to the death rate.

Nine people died around where I live. Twenty-two died in other parts of North Carolina from this same storm.  :-(


Well,  I have to go, thanks for reading my boring, rambling post. Cya!
