Chatter

Actually, Squishy died after three days. We found out that even though five years ago, my old fish survived just fine, we were apparantly doing everything wrong. So he's gone.

My brother has done that contest for two years! The first time he didn't win, the second time he got first place! The first one was called Redemption, I think, and the winning one from last year was the Challenge. I'm thinking about doing the art contest this year.

Return of the King was awesome!!!!! ;D I loved it! My favorite parts were any part with Sam and Rosie, and Faramir and Eowyn. They are both so cute together! Awww! Squeeeaaaal! Sigh!

Half of my mollasses collection (mollasses being my sister not being able to pronounce miscillanious right. And i can't spell it right. ) was picked up off the ground. A random bar of metal, pieces of glass, crushed earings, to name a few.

Have you ever thought about if anyone tried to give an inspirational speech and it ended up like this?

"But it is not this day! We will fight! We will fight for our homeland! We will fight for out children, our wives, our sweethearts, our sisters, our brothers! We will...um...fight...and, uh... go to... destroy the bad... stuff. And we shall not... um, be afraid...and we shall... Just... go fight already, will you?!"

Now imagine this scene with me.

I am sitting at my desk using a mini utility knife to scrape away some glue off a metal bar. I'm being stupid and scraping towards me. The knife slips and I see a tiny white cut on my finger. I shrug and go back to scraping. Then I notice I'm dripping blood on my desk. My first thought is, "Oh, I hope that doesn't stain." I wipe it up with my finger, go to the sink, run some water over the cut and even though the cotton ball I put on it is almost instantly turned red, I just slap a band-aid on it and go right back to scraping the glue. Towards me. You know you're just weird when you grow callused to blood and minor pain.

Yes, I've done that with blood... and weirder. I once took a little bit of powder meant to make cherry Kool-aid, mixed with just a little water to make a type of paste, and smeared across my face and arms... it actually looked really realistic. I looked awful. Awesome, right?

My dad said that someone should make an edit where a teenage kid is asking his dad for the car keys, and the dad replies, "Some day, I will say yes; but TODAY IS NOT THAT DAY!!!"

I have smeared blood before to make the cut look worse, and then gone around church waiting to see who will notice it first. Maybe I should try the paste thing and freak my brother out. I couldn't show my dad because he gets faint at the sight of a lot of blood. We were watching a movie where a guy had to close his own wound, and I'm just sitting there watching, when I look over and notice my dad has turned his head, my younger brother has closed his eyes with a grossed out look on his face and my older brother left the room. I'm thinking, "What? You know it's fake."

What did y'all do for Memorial Day? I worked at the balloon creations stand at an outreach my church does for the neighborhood. We had inflatables, and after the outreach was done, all the church teenagers were going crazy on them. It was a blast! Even though I got two blisters, three burns, and one raw patch were my skin was scraped off. All on my feet.

That's fine. There is a life outside of writing...even if I try to ignore it sometimes.

Sure. I think we'll be at church this coming Sunday...
