Method to the Madness

At this point its more about containing the madness and trying to put a method to it.

I think I've said before that Mrs. E. (the secretary at my school) is paying me to make a baby blanket, for her grandbaby. (I was going to explain why she is the most evil woman to walk the earth, but then I realized I was babbling on about something that y'all don't really care about, and even if you did isn't really important.) The only reason I'm making this 'stoopid baby blanket' is because the baby can't help that his grandma is evil and still deserves a hand knit baby balnket.

Its the Bamboozle Baby blanket, I'm having to double strand from two balls of blue and white striped yarn (I'll tell the name of the yarn in another post, but I'm lazy and there are things I should be doing instead of this right now...) The repeats aren't long enough to make actual stripes so I couldn't stand the pooling and so now I'm trying to match up the blue in one ball and the white in the other... its really a pain..















The plan: 10 rows a day (180 stitches per row! eek!) and I'll still be pushing it to have it finished by February...rats! stupid procrastination... gets me every time.. At least its good for sitting in front of the computer watching anime...

I'll do a New Years-ish post tomorrow or the next day, cause right now I have to go get ready to pick up Sara and Kaiti

'Till then, I leave you this.




Raindeer kitteh no want picshur!

(Bella, consider this payback for interfering with yarn pictures...)

The part of the show where I gush over Christmas presents

Sorry, but you knew this was coming right? So lets get started.


Kingdom Hearts 2 and DanceDance Revolution SuperNOVA 2

This means I need to get to work finishing KH1! (if anyone has played it before do you have any tips on getting past the 'stomach monster' in the Pinnochio whale thing?)
(excuse these little things..... just trying to get things to line up right....

blah blah

writing to try to make it work right...

Speaking of DDR... Look what one of the shirts I got says!
(Its not a great picture, but It says "I can only dance when there are Arrows.")
(just never mind these little random things)

Here are the others:

Kyo from Fruits Basket

Haruhi-ism

Colorful FMA!

and "I love anime"








Then a very cute Ipod case, and Twilight, the book all my friends can't belive I haven't already bought, and read.

I have to hurry and finish reading Inkheart so I can read this one!




And some patches for my "if it's not in here, I don't need it, I might not need it even if it is in here" bag.

I know you knitters want to hear about all the knitting stuff, well here it is!


Not Another Teen Knitting book!


Opal Feelings self striping sock yarn. And enough of it to make really awesome knee socks.

And this (bad picture) to make Mermaid Socks! ->

And look Nana & Da gave mom and I Harmony Wood needles. DPNs, interchangeable circulars, and sock sized DPNs (they don't photograph well)!

I also got a ball winder and swift (that is what you call and how you spell that cool wood thing right?) that I forgot to get a picture of.

Yays! A FMA 2008 calender!

OH YES! LOOK AT THESE AWESOME SHOES!

THEY ARE CLEAR CONVERSE ALL STARS!

No, not striped! CLEAR! They are C-L-E-A-R!

(can you tell I might be a bit excited about them?)

gosh what do I have to type to make it work here too???

What? Why are there pictures? You thought I lost my camera? Well you'd be right, but check this out my NEW, UNLOST, CAMERA!

fgjhj

blah blah

In truth it's exactly the same as my old one, but I can take pictures now! The world can finally continue turning now that I have a camera again. All is well.

3 days till Christmas!!!

I'm so excited I could die!

I saw the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie yesterday with my mom, her friend, and her triplet 10year old boys. They ARE Alvin and the chipmunks... Give them the color coordinated sweaters and we'd have it. The movie was great! (We would already have the sound track if everywhere wasn't sold out.) I don't know what was funnier, the movie or the little boy sitting in front of me that just HOWLED with laughter at the smallest joke. It was so fun to watch him! And he would dance and clap, and we thought "the movie needs to hurry up and end or this little guy is gonna wet himself!"

Next year I will be able to drive. So next year I can have dad hand me a credit card and go do mom's Christmas shopping without the clueless dad and before the weekend before Christmas.

This is totally ridiculous. Every year he waits till the last minute to drag me out into that mass of humanity, the weekend before Christmas. (I see absolutely no logic and/or common sense in that one.)

As a reward for being dragged into the overly crowed mall last night, (and again today because we didn't finish) even though we were shopping for mom, I allowed myself to get a Naruto poster, and some strawberry pocky (which is delicious by the way). But today we will have to go back to the mall, and to our LYS to get [censored for Christmas surprise].

The trafic alone will take hours, but I think I will be able to handle it. As long as I have my book, my iPod, my cellphone, and knitting. The Saturday before Christmas... wow.. this will be interesting... wish me luck.

The pros and Kons

I need an opinion on my binders. They were the brown recycled kind from Office Depot, But I have decided to redecorate for the new year. I've already painted them white (so whatever I do on then the colors will show up better.

I can't decide if I should tissue paper them (haha I can't remember what you call it...) like the squares on the wall in this picture. Only they would be smaller pieces and on a binder.

Pro: Easy I know it'd turn our pretty

Con: To easy, not much detail

(looks like every pro is also a con... that's odd)

Or maybe painting a picture on it (probably anime). If I do this I have to do one of Kon (the picture) because for some reason her really creeps Jesse out.
Pro: I can copy pictures well with pencils, so this gives me a chance to try with paint. Lots of detail, if I do it right, would look really pretty ('specialy with DNAngel pictures). If I mess up, just paint over with white again. and Chasing Jesse around with a Kon binder.
Con: It would be really hard, I don't know if I even can do this. a lot messier.

So what do y'all think? (I REALLY need an opinion.)

P.S. The Santa picture didn't happen Saturday. The stupid lady at the stupid place cut the line off RIGHT WHEN WE WERE NEXT because "Santa needs to go on break" (funny how the sign said he still had about an hour before he went on break isn't it?) so we took a picture or two in front of the tree and when Kaiti gets copies made I'll scan it in.

Yes! Only exams left!

Finally school is out, 'cept for exams! And those are only half days Monday through Wednesday! *happydances*

Ok this has SO not been my week.

Wednesday: My power point for computer class deleted itself. TWICE. The day I was supposed to turn it in. I just went back to bed.

Thursday: The turkey in my sandwich had apparently gone bad, and I got sick in 5th period.

Friday: Hit my head REALLY HARD on the car trying to get my stuff out. Then all but ripped my leg open on the bottom corner of the car door leaving school.

My friends are terribly worried about riding with me to the mall today, because I seem to be jinxed.

Jesse, Wendy, Kaiti, and I are all going to the mall today for 6 whole hours of mall time-girlfriend bonding time. And of course the only picture I'll be able to get will be the one with Santa *sigh*. I talked to Sara last night, and she is going to meet us there. It's my job to distract the others (probably just an "OMG HOW CUTE IS THIS!!!") so she can sneak up on them and go "HIIIII YYYY'AAALLLL!!!!" (They don't know she's coming).

And the reason I'm saying all this.... I really haven't done any knitting! *slaps back of head* I know! There is a LOT I need to do..... eeep!

A nice long post

Obviously I'm having writers block with post titles lately... *sweatdrops*

I...finished....my....jaywalkers....

Actually I finished them the same night of my last post.. But I wore them to school today. I got a big "OMG I CAN'T BELIVE YOUR WEARING THAT!" from Jesse... yeah.. I know my jaywalkers look stupid with my tennis shoes, but I was late.. and I just grabbed the first socks I found to put on in the car on the way... next time I'll be sure to wear my abby shoes..

Last night I casted on Phineas
Yes! I know that there are a million-and-a-half other things I need to do! To keep with my ignoring it and pretending they don't exist I'm not going to mention what they are.. but.. I'm making them with the yellow yarn I bought when Knit Wits closed. It goes from a dark yeallow, and fades into white. It;s so pretty! The diamonds on it are coming our so well! I also just love the one row stripes the yarn is making! They are knitting up amazingly fat! I knit the toe before I went to bed last night, and now they're almost ready for the heel! Oh lookie I'm a dummie.. I think I have an old picture of the yarn!


You can't fully appreciate the prettyness of the yarn from this picture. I never thought It would knit up quite this pretty! (Sorry peoplez, y'all will have to wait until I get a camera to see!)




In other news.... I finished watching Utawarerumono! The ending was very "huh?". Well, right until the end. Then it all made sense... sorta...kinda...still working it out a bit... But I'll be getting Azumanga Daioh volume 1 tomorow! Wow.. my netflix queue overfloweth... I see something, go to add it, then see all the "you might also like" and be all "Oh! I think I've heard of that one! *add* OOOH and that one! *add*" I think I will never finish.

The tutoring job is going good (can you say "yarn money"??). Lindsey is learning it pretty good. She keeps getting the prombles I give her right. She made an 88 on her test today (I have to keep reminding myself that I am above average, and that, 88s aren't good for me (at all), they are Bs and are good for most people). I bet she messed up a negative here and there, and she also said she noticed she copied some wrong when she transfered it form her work sheet to her answer sheet. I think she got kinda freaked out. She seems to be happy about it, but that her dad is one of those "its terrible unless its an A" types, and she simply isn't an A student. She's a solid B student. I think I'm gonna knit her something for Christmas too, because he told me something (I'm not going to post it here because some people form school read it) that just makes me want to hug her and squeeze her and name her George (what she told me was actually kinda sad)!

Sayonara!
Kat

And life goes on...

...even without a camera.....

Today some of us "Mississippi Knitters" got together at Knit Studio for a sit and knit time (the 2 hours FLEW by) We had an awesome time. unfortunately no pictures, but by the time we meet up again in January, hopefully I'll have a camera!

I never knew that I knit fast. But the ladies there commented (and so did this guy that knits at my church). Also apparently its uncommon that I can walk (as in through the mall) and knit at the same time. That got mentioned on Ravelry the other day on the "mother daughter" knitting forum, and the lady that started the topic said "I've heard tales of people like you! People who can actually walk around and knit. I can't imagine being able to do that. Well...maybe with a garter stitch scarf - maybe"

I bought some yarn to make Fetching The yarn is soft and blue and really pretty. It's Plymouth Yarn, Galway, color number 149. Its bright blue. I think It'll look really good as Fetching. I imagine that the Christmas post will be incredibly long, with Christmas pictures, and the catching up on all the yarn that has been missed.

And, (I'm probably a little too excited about this) I have learned some basic (and I mean BASIC) html coding!

lookie lookie what I can do!

This
and things like H₂O or like algebra with a³
AND THIS!!!

Knitting with no pictures!

I think I'm getting a bit bored with the blog. It's starting to feel more like a job than fun. Since this feeling of procrastination even toward the blog seemed to start when the camera "went on vacation" I think that might be why. I think that the blog just isn't as much fun when there are no yarn pictures to gush over. Yeah, I have mamma's horrible old camera, but even if I could get a few good pictures with it, I can't find the connector cable to hook it up to the computer... I'm considering putting the blog on hiatus until Christmas when I get a new camera (or possibly just before Christmas with a all text Christmas eve post?)

Any who, I'm still just considering that. (let me know what y'all think in the comments)

So knitting without pictures!

Last time I said something about the Jaywalkers being in time out... They are still there.. Did I mention that they got throw clear across the room on the way to time out?

I've done three mitered squares for Mrs. E's baby blanket. Why is it whenever I make mitered squares they turn out more.. trapezoid-ish? I just hope when I put them together that they turn out ok... I think I'll do four, sew then together, and wash 'em and see if they fix themselves (or are fixable) if not I'll regroup with the whole thing. I'm making the pattern up as I go along anyway, so it shouldn't be hard.

And again, I haven't touched anything else.

I know that music playing annoys some people, but I'm working on putting up Christmas music.
It's the Elmo and Patsy "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" CD.

Also since on some computer monitors the black background is hard to see, I'm testing some new color combos on the other blog. (I don't think I've mentioned before that I started a blog about a year ago, but didn't like the name and gave it up. I still have it, but its not viewable. I'm glad I kept it now, for testing things like this on it comes in handy!)

And one last thing. I got the final (I'm pretty sure its the final) volume of the Utawarerumono anime! *happy dance*

I actually forgot to tilte this one...

I haven't posted since Evil, and I really dont have much to say.

Since my camera is still missing, I've been using mom's old one. Its old and it's a peice of junk. (sorry mom but it is) Yeah, I did appreciate my good camera before it got lost. I had been using mom's and I loved the upgrade.. I just want my camera back! *pouts*

Also my Jaywalker is misbehaving, and I have tried to turn the heel a million times, and it still wont cooperate. So it's gonna go in time out for a little while.

I really haven't touched my other projects. I need to start the baby blanket for Mrs. Etherige, and I need to start the only knitted Christmas present I'm gonna give, Sara, because she wants to learn how to knit and will eventually understand the work (and I'm gonna sound like a granny now) love, that goes into hand knit gifts. (no more information than that though, because the Sara sometimes reads the blog, and we wouldn't want to ruin Christmas!)

And now I'm just avoiding the school work that I should be doing right now. I need to read Great Expectations, and put together an oral report on Cystic Fibrosis for health.

Evil

Jesse and I...
are evil....

Hilarious...
but evil...

A few weeks ago, for science, our teacher had us enter a conservation poster/essay contest with the theme "Water is Life" (the advanced class had to do both). On the day these were due, Ashley's went missing. Of course she instantly thought that someone had "stolen" it. In reality, she had it laying on top of the lockers, so it probably just fell and got kicked around and thrown away. But no... Someone had "stolen" it...(who would want a "water is life" poster anyway?)... and they were going to turn it in as their own. (never mind the fact that her name was written on it in sharpie marker) So, she was terribly disappointed when her poster wasn't in the pile of finished projects, sporting the culprits name. And of course Mrs. Holder made her do it again.

For weeks we heard Ashley swear up and down that the poster had been stolen and that there was no way on God's green earth that she was doing it over. Then one day... I opened the locker next to mine by accident, going to empty my backpack in the morning. And there it was... The poster... In Zach's locker... I don't believe for a moment he took it.. Zach just isn't someone who would do that... If it had been almost anyone else I would believe it....(probably Ben or someone took it to set him up.. for some reason they seem to hate him) But that isn't the point.

This is where we are evil. Jesse was with me when I found it. We didn't even have to say anything. We were both thinking the exact same thing. Jesse and I have the Jedi-mind-power/Vulcan-mind-meld thing goin' on. So she ran to find an unused locker, while I grabbed the poster and ran to catch up. We hid the poster in the empty locker, until we could be sure that she had completed and turned in the 2nd.

Then we waited trying to be sure.

We were today. Because Ashley's class is so much closer to the cafeteria than ours (Not to mention we got out of class late) We knew we would have the hall to ourselves. Jesse stood guard while I found the empty locker and then stuffed it into her bottom locker where I knew she would find it when she put her lunch up. This was actually a pretty incredible feat, because some idiot Senior hit a transformer with a football while skipping class, and the whole school was dark. So we ran like lightning through the dark halls to lunch because by now we were very late. We walk into lunch trying to stop the evil laughs.

What makes us evil I think is more that we went through all this trouble just to see the look on her face when she found it (which was priceless by the way). That wemade sure she did the poster over, and also that we had so much fun doing it that Jesse suggested that next time we have a poster due, that we do it again.

Actually the most fun was probably sitting at the lunch table acting like nothing happened (Wendy said later that Jesse and I should go into acting). We really did a phenomenal job. She has no clue that we did it.

She thinks that "Some idiot stole my frikkin poster then stuffed it back in my frikkin locker!! Probably one of those idiots from Spanish!" And, yes, she likes to use the word "frikkin" a lot.

It was much funnier, and eviler than it sounds here.

Also what was pretty funny was her playing CSI stopping everyone in the hall to check their shoes to see if they matched the footprint on her poster.

Monday's Movie, and A Very Emo Post

I know I didn't put the name of the AMV in the title, there is a reason (~_^).
I know you don't watch anime mom... but this is the one you have to see.



Now on to the current emo-ness of my life...

*sigh* This post was going to be titled "A Belated Thanksgiving" and tell all about what whet on when practically ALL of my dad's HUGE family came in. But not now. I have lost my camera. It had awesome pictures of it, and even some videos of the "tipsy" family playing Taboo. (you have to admit mom, y'all were at least "tipsy" (you Miss Priss had the "Crazy Aunt Purl Red Drinking Face"!! you so know you did) I wonder if I got mom shouting out "BOOBS!" on video....)

Now I am into the "My-Life-is-a-pitiful-black-hole". A girl (a BLOGGING GIRL) separated from her camera... nothing is sadder.... and I would make this sadder, and longer, and emo-er... but I am behind on my TV shows and need to go catch up... and start my heel flap for my 2nd Jaywalker.

*insert fitting name for post here*

Well today has been about cleaning for the relatives coming to town tomorow.... and visiting the other relative that came today.... (they dont come by here so no cleaning for them!)

Don't get me wrong... I love my South Carolina family but they drive me nutzo... They all 4 talk at once.. (not even about something we care about)

Not to mention they are all so skinny they look anarexic and make me feel fat.

Yeah... This picture pretty much describes the ocasion on the Mississippi side of it...

The rest of the afternoon was spent at Nana's going through old pictures of me for the power point I have to do for computer...

On an other, more interesting/non annoying note:

I got sock shoes!!!

They remind me of something Abby form NCIS would wear.

Yeah the right foot is my Jaywalker, and my left is a random froggy toe sock... I still have SSS...

I bought them bigger so I can wear them with my hand knit socks... but they are way too big in the toe.... (I got a 7 1/2 I really need a 7 lenght-wise) so.. I have 2 napkins shoved up in the toe

of each shoe....

Mom: you so know what I want to say and go "YAYYAYYAYYAYYAYYAY" about right here dont you? you know how bad I am glaring through the wall at you as I type this? Do you know how hard it is to have a blog and keep a secret?

To anyone else who just read that and went "what the-?" alls I gots to say is that I really need to work on some socks

Did I ever put a picture of my first socks? No?

They were toe up, generic vinilla stockinette, and the collors pooled really bad. I also was to arrogant to use a sock bind off thinking "Pshaw, if I just bind off loosly it'll be fine" WRONG! They are verry hard to get on 'cause of it.

But I wore them today so it reminded me I hadnt put a picture of them.

Monday's Movie--The World Series of Uno

Wow... they have the world series of poker down pat...

Things I need to do over Thanksgiving break

Lets see...

I started Snowflake Fingerless gloves I want to keep working on them...

I need to cast on the baby blanket Mrs. Ethridge is paying me to knit...

I ought to work on Twee and the jaywalkers and the other unfinished/barely started projects.

I have been meaning to draw a nerdy anime girl for my profile pic. Not that I don't like her, I just want one of my own...

I also should work up some sort of idea about how I'm gonna tutor Lindsey, where to start, and things like that...

and read on Inkheart.

I know for sure that isn't it, but I really can't think of anything else..... and probably all I'll get done is knit. And probably just on the snowflakes too.... *sigh* Mom gets to help remind me to do things besides that this week! *nodnod*

My Own Personal Friday the 13th

I am just cursed today. Here is the basics, mostly bad mixed in with the few good.

Well, Mom had to take Aunt Carol to the airport, so dad had to take me to school in the ugly old green van. That was bad.

Dad took me so I had to be there early, so I had to sit outside in the cold forever. That was bad.

In 1st period I realized that one of my braces' brakets was broken, and I went to get it fixed and they decided to put in a larger wire that they couldn't fit last time. Bad.

My teeth hadn't moved at all so it still didnt fit. worse.

The lady decided that she was gonna get the wire in there if she had to cut my teeth out to do it. VERY BAD.

I can't eat now. sad.

Mom and I decided to eat at O'Charley's before my teeth really started hurting, and this happened.

That was my 2nd Jaywalker. (by this time I have realized that the world is out to get me.)

one a good note... We had a very nice waiter who, when noticing that I was kntting, mentioned that he chrochets, we gave him ravelry's web site, and a nice tip.

Payless didn't have the really cute shoes I wanted in my size.

good-found some shoes to wear with knitted socks. I'm waiting to try them on with socks until tomorow when I'm hopfully not jinxed

Hot Topic didn't have a very good selection of Deery Lou things for Jesse's birthday.

I wanteda Lolita skirt. couldn't find anything even similar anywhere.

and another thing- I like Lolita, I love it, I think it is pretty, elegant looking, and cute. I dont think I could be one (at least not full time.) I would miss my jeans and Tshirts too much.

I have primer all over me.

I will go crawl under a rock for now.......

Knitting

Jaywalkers




I finished one of my Jaywalkers. I was worried that I wouldn't have enough yarn, because my Mississippi yarn only has 460 yards (both skeins together), and the patern calls for 465. But I finished one with yarn to spare so I will have enough! Yays! Unfortunatly I have come down with a sever case of SSS. I think I'm just momentarily bored with the pattern.




Twee






I finally casted Twee on! I LOVE it! It's so cute!
I think my yarn might be to fuzzy to really show off the patern though. But it's SO soft!







Anastasia Socks




Yeah... haven't started them yet... I did decide to go with the purple for them. Everyone I asked voted purple... I think they'll be pretty.

Well... I balled the yarn at least...








Mom's Prayer Shawl




She is making it for one of her patiants at work. I think she is almost done!
Its pretty. And really (0.o) REALLY soft.









Shorties



Did I ever post pictures of my shorties? No? Well, her it is!

(HA! Just try and laugh at that pwnsome hand modeling Jesse! HAH!)

Monday's Movie--Soldier A

Full Metal Alchemist AMV to Vic Mignogna's (English voice of Edward Elric in FMA) song Soldier A

Girl's Day Out

YAY! Shooping! Mom and I went out shopping yesterday because Belk was having a sale and we bought these tickets, and well, its hard to explain, but $5 from every purchase we made with one of those tickets goes to my science field trip in April. That is the only reason we even left the house yesterday. I could kick myself for forgetting my camera yeasterday.

Anywho, this is what I ended up with from Belk.





A nice shirt to wear for Thanksgiving.

It sheds sparkles like the kittys and I combined shed hair.

My "STAR" shirt



Random shirt I liked















The "Sakuranbo" (cherry) shirt!

I love this one "cherry much"











My new "Sakura" (cherry blossom) shirt!


The cherry blossoms are so pretty!











And the "Sorta Kinda Deery Lou-ish" jacket

I really needed a new jacket.... really I did....










Mom and I then decided to eat at the Mellow Mushroom. That is the main reason why I could kick myself for not having a camera. I don't know how many Mellow Mushrooms there are, or what they look like, but ours is wild! And you know... they have awesome pizza.

OMG then we drove to Yazoo city (here I must stop and say... OMG THEY HAVE A TON OF KUDZOO!) to the Knutty Knitter (they have no web site so I cant link it right now).

Another reason I should have had my camera. It is awesome.
I came away with these for socks




Yeah that's Bella... my little yarn kitty.

I have no idea what kind of socks I'm gonna do with them.... I was gonna do Anastasia (http://www.pepperknit.com/patterns/anastasia.html)
with my blue Koigu... but I think I might do it with this....hmmmm what do you think? Anastasia in blue or purple?

Monday's Movie--Hungry Wake Up Kitty

it is so sad how true this is

Movie

	My Flixster

Only Slightly.... Sick?

Yes, I was (and still have the cough to prove it). That is why there have been no new posts, Mom even told the doctor Friday "You know they're sick when the teenagers goes to bed at 7:30 and doesn't touch the computer for 3 days!" but I have done so much knitting while I have been sick that I actually have a callous on my finger! Not even exaggerating. Its there, I'm just to lazy to take a picture right now. So, because of the "Cold from Hell" this post will be extra long to make up for having done absolutely nothing for days (and it may be days before I post what I am typing now because I'm doing this while working on the 10,000 lbs of make-up work I'm doing).

First up! Knitting!

Well the sock was giving me problems

Even after I saved it from Bella!

but when I got sick and knitting was all I had to do it decided to behave.. (I think it was attention deprived)

And here we go, now that its behaving (and why do I no have any pictures of all of what I have done so far?)

Anime!! *whoot!*




I gots a BLEACH poster! (yes my wall is green!) This is a huge deal for me cause I don't have a chance to buy a lot of stuff....


I have been watching The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, but disk 3 seems to be "back ordered" on netflix.... (IF YOU HAVE IT HURRY AND FINISH!!) and I found out that even though Utawarerumono disk 3 is doing that weird "save" thing... You can watch it on your computer... so I did and should be getting disk 4 on Wednesday... (yay maybe I can finally finish it! yay for ElluluXHakuro!! ahem...sorry... couldn't help it...) And I have started watching Death Note since it comes on Adult Swim now... I know I always said I didn't want to watch it (the opening creeps me out) but, I give in... it rock.... and Oh! what I would give for a Death Note of my very own!



Family Fest! *gag*






What was my mother thinking? She knows I don't like little kids. She has already even accepted the fact that it is very likely she will never have grandchildren! Why, oh why, did she sign me up to work the space jump at the Church's hopefully-never-to-be-annual Family Fest?

(Blogger got me again I accidentally deleted the picture of the little boy at the Fest and it wont let me reload it... so imagine a cute little boy next to a space jump here is the text that went with it that now goes with that mental image)

This little dude? Yeah, he is one of the many reasons I avoid contact with people under 10 years of age (except of course for "OMG YOUR SO CUTE!!" to a little baby) This little guy had an unhealthy crush on me.... He kept bringing me "gifts". Some pine straw, an empty coke can, a leaf, a shoe.... (no joke) and he didn't want to go in the space jump. He wanted to crawl in, and slide out. Also he enjoyed jumping on the inflated entrance to the space jump and hopping down it. As much as I...dislike kids I couldn't let him jump off and kill himself, so I had to catch him... once he figured that out, he did it again... and again... "bounce, bounce, CATCH ME!" course he didn't say that, he never said anything.... but *shudders* NEVER having kids!




School

is evil. nuff said.


Ok well I have been sick and all the teachers (except Coach Kelly! luv ya man!) kept saying things like (nastily by the way) "Well if you don't have it today you better have it tomorrow!"
*coughcough* even tough it clearly states in the handbook that all students have the same number of days missed to turn in make up work.*coughcough* (I should wait till Wednesday to turn it in just on principle! I'm just sayin is all....)

But THANK YOU COACH KELLY! He is the only teacher that said something like "I know you have a lot of makeup work, just get it to me sometime this week." and that was with a test too! He got a lot of teacher-of-the-year points for that one! and yes... right now I am avoiding that makeup work...

Also.... Great Expectations....we happen to be reading this...And I happen to speak English....This is like...the best way I can put it.. like, My Fair Lady time period, ghetto British... I am not getting a word of it...I did ok with Pride and Prejudice, but this is just weird... I am a good student, so I have only one question....
