Update!

Thought I would give a little update on what's been going on with me.
I have a new, really good guy friend. I think he might possibly have a crush one me. Just a few things I noticed that are a little less than obvious:
He 'just happens' to sit by me most of the time. But to keep his suave he occasionally sits rigth next to that chair, next to absolutely no one. Then, the next day, on the opposite side of the room.
He 'just happens' to stand by, or walk by me most of the time.
He tried to open my backpack when I thought I didn't know he was there, but again, to keep his face the next day he opened somones backpack in my line of vision.
When he has to get up and do something in front of the class, he is nervous, but when he sees me he gets a huge grin on his face. It only lasts 3 seconds though, because I might notice.

Update #2
I finally set up a budget for myself! I also set goals of the hours I need to work a day in order to pay for my ticket to Korea when we go pick up my sister.

Update #3
I got a prom-type dress for only $23! (That's probably only exciting for me.)

Update #4
Tyson has been out on his misson for over 6 months now! Time has flown by like a beast!

Update #5
I've been sick off and on randomly this month. It's really strange.

Update #6
Me and Alyssa made a blog dedicated to Korean music! I'll upload the link later.

Update #7
You guys gotta read the other posts, they are pretty funny if I do say so myself...

Update #8
The last one wasn't really an update... Still, I had to let you all know.

Update #9
So, I got really bored today, and made my own 'Abbott and Costello' peice. I'll put it below.


Abbott and Costello Piece

Costello: I’m going to go get some chili, I’ll be back in half an hour.

 

Abbott: Where are you going to get Chile?

 

Costello: From the store of course!

 

Abbott: You can get Chile from the store?

 

Costello: Of course!

 

Abbott: Is it expensive?

 

Costello: No, it only costs about $3

 

Abbott: That’s pretty cheap. I thought it would be closer to a couple Billion dollars.

 

Costello: What?! Who on earth would buy chili if it was that expensive?

 

Abbott: Well, no one I suppose. When people want something that large, they usually just take it over.

 

Costello: How on earth do you take over chili? It’s not as if it had an army!

 

Abbott: Chile doesn’t have an army? How does it defend itself?

 

Costello: Chili doesn’t defend itself! Why if everything I bought defended itself, I would never eat again!

 

Abbott: Anyway, what are you buying Chile for?

 

Costello: I’m going to put it on our nachos

 

Abbott: Now why on earth would you place Chile on some nachos?

 

Costello: Don’t you like nachos with chili?

 

Abbot: That would be disgusting! I mean, think about it! My stomach would hurt for years!

 

Costello: Are you allergic?

 

Abbott: No! I don’t see how one could be allergic to Chile.

 

Costello: Be born that way.

 

Abbott: Of all the outrageous things to be allergic to! Chile! I’ve never heard of it!

Costello: Quite. You think they would start by being allergic to beef.

 

Abbot: Is there really that much beef in Chile?

 

Costello: That’s half of what chili is!

 

Abbot: Wow, I though it had more chilies.

 

Costello: There aren’t any chilies in chili!

 

Abbott: Really? I thought that was what it was famous for.

 

Costello: Just because the name is chili doesn’t mean it has chilies.

 

Abbott: True. Anyways, how are you going to get it home? Isn’t Chile over 200,000 square miles?

 

Costello: You dunce! I knew you had a small brain, but I didn’t think it was that small! Chili is 16 oz! How on earth do you expect to get all that mass in there?!

 

Abbott: No wonder it doesn’t have an army. What are you going to do about all the people that don’t want you to buy Chile?

 

Costello: Who would care if I bought chili? In fact, people want me to buy it.

 

Abbott: Why on earth would people want you to buy Chile? It’s not as if you would be a great leader or anything.

 

Costello: It stimulates the economy! And what does leadership have to do with chili?! All people do is eat it.

 

Abbott: What?!

 

Costello: What else are you going to do with chili? Put it in the pantry and let it rot?

 

Abbott: Chile can’t rot!

 

Costello: After a while it will.

 

Abbott: How can Chile rot?

 

Costello: If it sits too long it will start gathering mold.

 

Abbott: Chile has been around for thousands of years, it doesn’t just start growing mold!

 

Costello: People make new chili all the time. Then they eat it, and make more, it’s not that complicated!

 

Abbott: You can just, make Chile?

 

Costello: Yes you can just make chili. There are plenty of recipes all over.

 

Abbott: There are recipes for making countries?

 

Costello: Ugh! I don’t believe I’ve been running around this conversation for ten minutes and we’ve been talking about two totally different things! And you know what? It’s chilly in here!

 

Abbott: It’s Chile in here?

 

 

 

 

Just a funny situation.

So, my father calls me out to the backyard to help him tip the four-wheeler over so he can fix it.
     That's already exciting enough, right?
When I get out there, we tip it, but it starts to leak gas out a little pipe on the bottom. So, Dad freaks out at me to go get the gas can because "It will kill the grass!" After I retrieve the gas can and hold it under to stop the leaking, Dad walks away and goes inside and shouts behind him "Just make sure the ATV doesn't tip over and squash you!"
      Yes, I'll just do that, holding a 30lb gas can half as tall as I am, crouched over like a hermit. It it falls, I'll be sure to catch it, because I wouldn't want it to squash me. Thank you Dad.

Dedicated to Our Poor Home Teachers

Before I start (Which technically I already have), I need to explain something. Our home teachers have only visited our home two times. Brother Allred has eight children, and his 14 year old son is his companion.
     The fist time they came over, everyone had already been in a funny mood. Keep in mind this is basically the first time they have ever had an in-depth encounter with our family, that's already dangerous enough. I had my hair up in a high ponytail and I was sitting on the bench by our piano. Takoda, my autistic angel from heaven of a brother was absoulutely giddy. Savannah was as well. As soon as they came in the family room and sat down, she began to crawl under the bench and repeatedly pinch me and Takoda from behind.
     I of course, being the loving, peacemaker, kind hearted, gentle person that I am began to quietly chide her. EEEERRR WRONG!!!! I decided to move over to the fireplace to avoid further conflict after having sent her hand back into the depths of the bench with a good 'tap'. Unfortunately, I moved right into the reaches of the autistic loopyhead. He began to poke me repeatedly. By this time, I was not mad, but laughing my head off. I tried to hold it in, but I'm not very good at that. I began fits and bursts of 'air being expelled through either my mouth or nose to express enjoyment'. I'm sure I must've snorted a few times.
     So, in the midst of this charade, Tanner and Denver are wrestling and smacking each others heads into the wooden chest in the middle of the floor. I occasionally looked over to see the home teachers in either utter shock, or uncontrollable amusement. To add to the noise of the attempted lesson, head smacking, and laughter, Takoda had seen a spot of water on the floor and tried to make Savannah and I step in it, claiming it was 'the substance that must not be named'. He was later sent to the basement, and on the way, let his bodily gasses release.
     Oh yes, I'm so proud of my family and the lovely first impression that was.

Anyone want to hear about the second visit?

Today, the fateful day. Second in-depth encounter. Poor Home Teachers. I was sitting in the highly coveted green chair in the corner. Denver was sitting in my lap and requested repeatedly that I turn the transformer (which I had just barely, after much effort, turned into a human shaped object) back into a car. Dad and Brother Allred were chatting before the lesson, and Tanner was running around hitting/ bothering everyone within his reach. Kadin was his main target. And when Tanner and Kadin tussle, it's a tussle. Dad gratefully separated them before it turned into a brawl.
     Through much of the, "Where does his arm go?" and "Wait, I think I broke it." I was almost done with the car, which I had made with much effort and repeatedly responding to Denver's question if I could do it with, "Yes, I know I can do it!". And as I was about to finish, Dad yells at me to put it away. Regretfully, I put down my hard worked on car. Takoda, Savannah, Elias and Denver were sent to the basement for rough housing and making noise. Kadin and Tanner soon followed.
     Soon, we hear the high-pitched girly scream of Tanner coming from the basement, along with a chorus of other little voices shouting and screaming "Dodge ball!!!"
Jackson asks "Who was that?" I reply, "Tanner." Brother Allred quickly comments with a huge smile, "He sounds like a girl!"
Soon, they are all back upstairs and Dad says the two words that start act two of the charade.
      Duck Tape
In his wrath, he retrieves the neon orange duck tape from the special drawer and begins to literally wrap the children's mouth, cheeks, hair, and basically the whole bottom half of their head excepting their noses so that they can breathe. If you could imagine the expressions of absolute joy on our home teachers faces, make it 10 times bigger. The only reason they weren't on the floor rolling was because they wanted to be courteous. So all the children are running around the house covered in neon orange duck tape Screaming as much as they can through the plastic and sticky string. I was, of course, laughing like crazy because the literally looked like a running construction zone!When the prayer was finished, the home teachers finally escaped the insanity.
     I can picture them going home, and telling their whole family the pleasant encounter they just had with the craziest family that ever set foot on the planet.

Yes, I love my family, and they are VERY embarrassing. Still, I have to take credit for some. if not most, of the insanely crazy stuff that goes on in our home. And I must publicly apologize to the poor souls that are, our Home Teachers.

Twitterpated

Hey hey! Just cuz it's a funny title doesn't mean you need to get excited. Just wanted to share a few thoughts about the Springtime. Honestly, the fact that it's spring doesn't mean there is any more romance in the air, for all of you strange Bambi fans that seem to have to apply every principle taught therein to your own lives. It does mean that people do sneeze a lot more though. I personally do not find that any more attractive, an fact, it leans a bit more to the unattractive side. In fact, I find that winter is more romantic than spring. Think about it, during the spring, people like me tend to become more bouncy and run around like crazy, energetic squirrels. I mean, I talk like crazy when spring hits, it's like a steroid for me. If all of my friends say they want to see me when I'm on caffeine, imagine steroids. I mean, I guess I don't get that excited during spring, but I still get energy like you wouldn't believe! Now unless you want a black eye, I don't think anyone would be doing anything crazy around springtime. Just a thought.
I also want to give a shout to a few unnamed friends of mine that are feeling especially rosy around this time of year. ;) Just an FYI, spring, combined with my over-zealousnesss to talk, and your funny relationships just made teasing 10000000000000% easier.
And to all you other twitterpated people out in the universe: Victims. :)

Tribute to My Favorite Animal

This is a tribute to my favorite animal in the wholw world! It's called a Pine Marten. They live in the forest, they are omnivorous. Pine martens are, on average, about the size of a house cat. Their relatives belong to the ferret family, but in my opinion, they are much cuter! They are an endangered species for a few reasons. Pine Marten's reproduction rate is the same as humans. 9 months, and with such a slow birth rate, the population is suffering. That, and Pine Martens have been poached for their soft fur, it has become so hard on the species that a special licence must be obtained in order to hunt them, or keep them as pets.

This is my favorite picture.

Doesn't it look so cool?

It's been my dream for quite some time now, to first, own a pine marten as a pet, and, to someday build a sanctuary where I can raise them, and set them free. I have a great love for these animals. One day, I'll get some, male and female, so that I can start my dream. And I know It'll be amazingly hard, but It's worth it if it means I can protect, and become more accquanted with, the best animal in the world. 

Late Introduction

Ok, so I was a little silly and didnt do one of those strange... introductory... thingys....
