3 true stories

Okay, I've got 3 stories. One will make you laugh, one make you cry (Gosh, I hope not!) and one will make you very, very confused (no, wait isn't the last one supposed to make you scared? No, that's the same thing. Anyway...)
Silly Story: So, this is a story that my guide leader told us. She was in Montreal and she and her friend decided to go ice fishing. They didn't have a clue abut what was going on, so they asked some nice ice fishers to show them how. So, they sat there for maybe 3 hours, just looking hopefully at the little hole. Just as they were about to leave, they got a bite from an enormous fish! They brought it home and cooked it, and had to put it in the trunk of their car because it was so big.
Sad story: One of my friends Mom had a baby last week! She is very small and cute and ways a ridiculously small amount. Sniff.
Very, Very confused story: Hello how are you I am fine and how is your mother oh right she's in Europe having a wonderful tour and not cooking for you and how is your father oh scratch that I know how he is, and yes we are going to Hawaii soon, and how is school no don't be ridiculous it can't possibly be that bad, I'm sure your teachers just seem scary because after all your very young, no no of course you're not, I forgot you're turning 15 this spring, oh here's my luggage, call or e-mail me soon!
Anyways, I hope you are happy and sad and very, very, confused. Bye!
Big Toe Says: I always like to listen to people who don't make any sense at all.

Wow, People actually read my blog!

Well, they do! If you are looking at this from the super happy day link, Super Happy Day then you might not realize it, but people actually comment and stuff! I just want you to know I REALLY appreciate it.
Anyway, for people to comment I need to talk about something. In this case, it's my birthday. No! Not NOW! Get your cursor away from that comment button! In 2 weeks or so (wait....). Yeah 2 weeks. I will be 13! YAY!!!!!
My dad (who has to take care of me now that my mom isn't here) has no time to sneak away and buy me a present. But this happened last year too. Mom WAS here, but he took me with him to buy my birthday present to make sure it was what I wanted. :)
I am very happy today. I've no idea why. I think it's because I just got mountains of books yesterday and have only worked my way through half of them so far. (I read fast.)
I have been taking pictures of everything with my camera. my parents just bought a new one for Christmas, so I got the old one! YAY! Unfortunately, the scenery outside our house is not exactly picture-contest-winning-crowd-wowing-art-show material. So I am taking all my pictures in black and white!
See you (no wait, I won't. Never mind)
Big Toe Says: Look at this rock. I say it keeps tigers away.
Me: Why?
Big Toe: Well, you don't see any tigers, do you?
Me. I would like to buy your rock.

What is With these people?

I'd just like everyone to realize how very, well, strange some teachers are. When I was at mandarin today, I overheard a teacher in another classroom say: "Well, now. We'll begin the tests. You have 10 minutes to study all your material." I might add that the aforementioned classroom is a level 8 one, and that the students there get truckloads of material. 10 minutes? How about 10 months?
My friend told me this story: She was walking into her classroom and reading a book at the same time. She likes to read really long, thick books, and this one was a Jane Austen, I think. (I know, she's got a lot of time on her hands). Anyway, her teacher grabbed the book as she sat down and said "This reading material is far to grown-up for young girls like you. You were probably mutilating this book. I shall have to confiscate it." but then, later that day, she saw the teacher reading the book while eating a sandwich. Talk about hypocritical.
Anyway, I know people are crazy. It's a fact.
Bye!
Big Toe Says: Happy people make more money. It's proven. Look, I'm happy, and I'm making money because I'm telling you to be happy and buy stuff, and making money makes me happy.

How to Avoid a Brain Freeze

I was just reading about how when something cold touches your tooth you get a brain freeze. So all you have to do to get rich quick is bet a friend that you can finish a milkshake in less than 3 minutes without getting a brain freeze. then stick a straw into the glass, put the other end into your mouth (past the teeth) and drink. Quick Money!
Another tip: I see a lot of my friends with really strange nails. I try to make mine nice. If you have to push back the cuticles, do so only once a month. Pushing them back hurts the nail underneath the cuticle and makes it look funny when it grows enough to become visible.
Yet another tip: If you make a website, do NOT disable right-click. This makes it irritating for innocent people, and forces stealers to resort to stealing your whole page, not part of it.
Yet ANOTHER tip: If you get a deal online that looks to good to be true, read the fine print. In fact, ALWAYS read the fine print.
Yet AnOtHeR TIP: When having your picture taken, open your eyes wide (not too wide though) your eyes will squint when the flash clicks so opening your eyes wide will make them look more natural.
Big Toe Says: Girls are like slugs. They probably serve some purpose, but it's hard to imagine what.
Me: Totoro! No! Different quote.
Big Toe says: NO.
Me. Oh, okay. Girls around the world, don't take this personally.

Survivor Family

It's day 2 of my 2 weeks with dad, and we are doing OK. I have made a new site (Freewebs) and at this very moment my blog is being posted on it. It's KismetCried. Explanation for the macabre name is on the site.
Anyhow, I have discovered that helping to cook every day of the week is very hard. Bah. But I am sort of surviving. I miss having someone to do all that stuff most days though.
My birthday is coming up. I have sent out invitations. But I still have to verbally invite some other friends. Oh well.
Anyways, this is a short post. To make up for it's shortness I'll put in a picture.


There! all done!
Big Toe Says: Careful. We don't want to learn from this.

Houston, We May Be Out of Kleenex.

*Sniff* *Sniffity-Sniff-sniff*
My mom's going back to see her parents again. I'm sad. *Sniff* *sniff*
Do you like my new layout? I spent ages trying to decide which one, but I think this one is good.
I wonder what I should talk about today. Maybe....
I know my mom likes cheese, but really, one this big?










I think not.
I am very tired. AND I am out of ideas. Hmm. Lets, see, what holiday is coming up soon? Oh, Valentine's Day. also my birthday, but the world doesn't celebrate that, unfortunately. If I become a Canadian Dictator everyone'll have to send me flowers.

ANYWAY. Valentine's day. Lots of my friends think that it's just a hallmark scheme. I was thinking of making print-out cards for my friends, and putting a little crown logo and the words Schmallmark in cursive. Maybe? I always appreciate the little heart cinnamon candies, seeing as how I don't like commercial chocolate.

I like holidays. Last year I went over to a friends house and we just sat there flicking message hearts at each other. Ha.
I have come up with several slogans for my Valentine's day cards.
Have a Hippy Happy Heppo Hippo Valentine's Day. (No, maybe not)
Bee my valentine. (Can you be sued by Hallmark for plagurizing their card slogans?)
One of those heart candy ones where the letters spell out Happy Valentine's day, Valentine! (Umm... This doesn't work. It's too tacky.)
Happy Valentine's day, for Pete's sake. (Charlie brown? Maybe.)
Happy Valentine's Day. (That works.)

Big Toe Says:I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon.

It's 2008, oh no.

It's very hard to remember for when I date my worksheets. Is it January 2007? No, that can't be right. Is it 2009 then? No! Augh! You see?
I haven't been on for quite a long time, and so I didn't post over christmas. One of the unfortunate thing of having a birthday in February is that everything that you wanted for Christmas, you wanted for your birthday as well. I got all the things I wanted, and now I can't think of anything else. If reminds of a poem I used to recite.
"What on earth is there I haven't got? How Hard to think of something new. The choices are extremely few!"
Well, not quite like that, but you know what I mean.
Anyhow, that highlight of the stuff that I got at Christmas was a Peaco doll. Here he is:

I have been working on my site quite a bit, you can visit it here. Velvet Cloud
I have also been thinking of getting a new layout for my site, maybe a purple one? It'll be up soon!
Big Toe Says: People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.
Me: Hey! Toe!
