HAPPY CHIRSTMAS! (And happy early Boxing Day!)
May all your pudding be figgy and all your halls be decked!

The insane rantings of ahem, me, myself, and the many people in my head who aren't supposed to be here but are. i.e. a blog nobody, has, is, or will ever probably read, care about, or follow. (With the exception of Jen, who, just out of habit clicked follow. Though, she barely ever reads this....I don't blame her.)
Argh, this question won't show up anyways...

I can't not post this...
Okay, so I'm posting number four, writing my Christmas Boredom Corner, writing my NaNoNovel (yes, still) and writing number four. OH and a short story, but I was procrastinating and found THIS. And honestly, I really want to live in Australia now:
The questions below about Australia are from potential visitors. They were posted on an Australian Tourism Website, and the answers are the actual responses by the website officials, who obviously have a sense of humor.
Q: Does it ever get windy in Australia? I have never seen it rain on TV, how do the plants grow? (UK).
A: We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around watching them die.
Q: Will I be able to see kangaroos in the street? (USA)
A: Depends how much you've been drinking.
Q: I want to walk from Perth to Sydney – can I follow the railroad tracks? (Sweden)
A: Sure, it's only three thousand miles, take lots of water.
Q: Is it safe to run around in the bushes in Australia? (Sweden)
A: So it's true what they say about Swedes.
Q: Are there any ATMs (cash machines) in Australia? Can you send me a list of them in Brisbane, Cairns, Townsville, and Hervey Bay? (UK)
A: What did your last slave die of?
Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Australia? (USA)
A: Africa is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe. Australia is that big island in the middle of the Pacific which does not ... oh forget it. Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Kings Cross. Come naked.
Q: Which direction is North in Australia? (USA)
A: Face south and then turn 180 degrees. Contact us when you get here and we'll send the rest of the directions.
Q: Can I bring cutlery into Australia? (UK)
A: Why? Just use your fingers like we do.
Q: Can you send me the Vienna Boys' Choir schedule? (USA)
A: Austria is that quaint little country bordering Germany, which is ... oh, forget it. Sure, the Vienna Boys Choir plays every Tuesday night in Kings Cross, straight after the hippo races. Come naked.

Q: Can I wear high heels in Australia? (UK)
A: You are a British politician, right?
Q: Are there supermarkets in Sydney and is milk available all year round? (Germany)
A: No, we are a peaceful civilization of vegan hunter/gatherers. Milk is illegal.
Q: Please send a list of all doctors in Australia who can dispense rattlesnake serum. (USA)
A: Rattlesnakes live in America, which is where YOU come from. All Australian snakes are perfectly harmless, can be safely handled and make good pets.
Q: I have a question about a famous animal in Australia, but I forget its name. It's a kind of bear and lives in trees. (USA)
A: It's called a Drop Bear. They are so called because they drop out of Gum trees and eat the brains of anyone walking underneath them. You can scare them off by spraying yourself with human urine before you go out walking.
Q: Do you have perfume in Australia? (France)
A: No, WE don't stink.
Q: I have developed a new product that is the fountain of youth. Can you tell me where I can sell it in Australia? (USA)
A: Anywhere significant numbers of Americans gather.
Q: Can you tell me the regions in Tasmania where the female population is smaller than the male population? (Italy)
A: Yes, gay nightclubs.
Q: Do you celebrate Christmas in Australia? (France)
A: Only at Christmas.
Q: I was in Australia in 1969 on R+R, and I want to contact the girl I dated while I was staying in Kings Cross. Can you help? (USA)
A: Yes, and you will still have to pay her by the hour.
Q: Will I be able to speak English most places I go? (USA)
A: Yes, but you'll have to learn it first.

*shrugs* I like this poem...
Also, novel: still not done (and I'm totally out of NaNoWriMo mode.)
*sighness*
Anyways though, I DO happen to like this poem...
So, here:
-Alice
*sighness*
Anyways though, I DO happen to like this poem...
So, here:
An empty room
But with me and you
It felt so warm and full
Now bittersweet
We taste the defeat
Of the life we used to know
Like smoke from a fire
Now burnt out
Glitter in the air
Blows through your hair
Light shines on your face
Helped me feel in place
Next to you
I’m not confused
Lost or hurt
Memories from the past leave dirt
Streaking down our cheeks
Cluttering our thoughts
We helped each other
Wash it off
But like stardust raining down
Everything eventually has to
Hit
the
ground
the
ground
Lost in a fantasy
You made me believe
Everything just might
Be alright
That the fight
I couldn’t last
Even if I tried my best
Might go away
If I would only say
The word
Like a leaf
Blown away
Gone tomorrow
Here today
Happily ever after
Doesn’t
quite
exist
quite
exist
Or so I’ve come to know
The way we think it does
In books and movies
They use it
Just to make you smile
In this broken world
If just for a little while
We’re breakable
Like porcelain dolls
Because
Just when we think
We’ve built up walls
With a single blow
Something simple
Like a flake of new-fallen snow
To the ground
They come crashing
Down
Down
Down
Down
Down
In the blink of an eye
You were gone
Slipping away
Like the setting sun
I could almost see it coming
And I should have been running
But who can outrun the world?
Words stick out
Bold on your pale skin
Ink stains on your body
No longer blend in
To your creamy complexion
The past comes back
It catches up to you
When you least expect it
It takes cunning
It takes wit
To avoid it for even a second
And together we could
And together we stood
Us against the world
Until I found out
What exactly happily ever after
Is about
And that it
Isn’t
quite
true
quite
true
Now I’m just
An empty room
Nothing without you
The walls that surround me
Hide me and
Keep me all alone
Separated
Sequestered
In the worst possible way
From you
And the world
Just me, myself, and my mind
Or what
Happens to be left of it
The walls that were once so full
Of pictures
Words
Written and spoken
Furniture
And so much more
But now you’re gone
I’m left alone
Just me and these four walls
Nowhere to hide
From myself
And what I am inside
A string that slipped through my hands
I thought it would never end
And yet, here I am
Repeating these same words
Through my head
Figuring out
The truth about
Happily
ever
after
Still attempting to repress inner-editor (and failing,)ever
after

Here is the song I've had STUCK IN MY HEAD FOR TWO DAYS NOW
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSS5dEeMX64
Sure, it's a good song. But it's getting old.
(Random person: Let's get down to business! Me: TO DEFEAT, THE HUNS! Person: O.o)
I'm going to go watch Mulan now,

Look at this!
This looks a LOT like Cinni and Salem and the setting is right! Cover picture anyone?
It's soooo cool, isn't it? I love it, for one. ^^

Word count up, story, not so much...
Just checking in real quick. It's almost done. One more day, and this novel is still not finished, even at 80,000 words. Sad, right? But still. Stuff has happened, stuff hasn't happened, I'm hating myself for hurting Salem and writer stuff like that.
It's done, and I'll win, but I won't until I finish, and so I keep writing.
And writing.
And writing.
And writing.
With OWD (obsessive writing disorder,)

Happy Birthday! ....me!
It's my birthday!
Twins: *blow loud horns right next to my ear*
Darn...*rubbing head* I thought I'd gotten rid of you here for the month.
Till: We'll always be here Alice.
Wrevor: *pokes my heart area* Right there.
More like the organ that causes stress...anyways, yay!
*sigh* It's day 20 (duh.) 10 days left.
From Salem's point of view:
Sure, the word count's coming along, but the story is way far away from being finished! What then? Just finish with an unfinished story? I'm so stupid. I should really be writing right now...
Plus, I have to finish counting all those votes and the characters are going a little wrong and it's boring and my relatives are coming next weekend which is wonderful but takes away from some serious writing time I really could have used...
From Cinni's point of view:
Who cares if the story isn't finished on time? I mean, we can always add on, do our on NaNoWriMo in November! Problem solved! The votes will get counted on time, they always do, and we're almost at 100 pages! Isn't that amazing! We can always go back and edit and add some stuff. The snarky mirror is a good idea! Let's go write!
So...yeah. ^^
*deep breath* Okay. Let's do dis.
(Holy flip, only ten days left!) (Shut up. Keep calm and write like a maniac,)

Dear Lord help me...
I've accidentally written Blaine, Wes, David, Nick and Jeff in as ninjas for the corporation hunting Cinni. What is WRONG with me??? (Don't you DARE answer that. VIMHs: Awww...)

Salem's theme
This song just makes me think of him. Copyright Kelly Clarkson etc. etc. I don't mean anyone any problems. ^^
If you go, they'll say you're following
If you don't, then you're too good for them
If you smile, you must be ignorant
If you don't, what's your problem?
If you're down, so ungrateful
And if you're happy, why so selfish?
You can't win, no you can't win, no
The one who doesn't quite fit in
Underdressed under your skin
Oh, a walking disaster
Everytime you try to fly you end up fallin'
Out of line
Oh you can't
You can't win no
If you're thin, call it a walkin' disease
If you're not, they're all screamin' "obese"
If you're straight, why aren't you married yet?
If you're gay, why aren't you waving a flag?
If it's wrong, you'll never hit
If it's right, you'll always miss
You can't win, no you can't win, no
The one who doesn't quite fit in
Underdressed under your skin
Oh a walking disaster
Everytime you try to fly you end up fallin'
Out of line
Oh you can't
You can't win no
And you try, you try so hard
But I swear it on your heart
And you play, you play the game
But you pay, you pay for it
You can't win, no you can't win, no
If you speak, you'll only piss them off
If you don't, you're just another robot
If you stop, they'll just say you quit
If you don't, you might lose your sh...

You can't win no
I can't win

The one who doesn't quite fit in
Underdressed under your skin
Oh a walking disaster
Everytime you try to fly you end up fallin'
Out of line
Oh you can't
You can't win no
Cold, wet, covered in sweat
I awake, unsure of my fate
The moon glows bright, lighting up the night
My heart pounds, though she can’t hear sound
Eyes wide, my body starts to fight
One that it will never win
I get up, and just my luck
My foot catches the sleeping bag as I start off
I hold my breath, one, two, three, four
Still she doesn’t stir
I stumble out into the open
Under my feet the ground is frozen
The aches and the pains begin to reign
As my body slowly gives up
The fight it can never win
I try to get as far away as I’m let
Before it becomes too much to bear
Before my vision blurs, and I’m too scared
To move
I fall to ground, still not making a sound
The forest sleeps, and anyone who creeps
Cannot be heard by human ears
But soon, I will hear them all
Each footstep, each movement, each leaf that falls
I clench my hands into fists, my heavy breath is mist
I can’t cry out
Or make a sound
As my body accepts defeat
In the fight it can never win
The pain is almost unbearable
My clothes are no longer wearable
Stripping down, in more ways than one
My memories start to fade away
Forgotten until the light of day
Brings me back
In another lethal attack
I am gone
I am no more
Off I run
In in the moonlight
The dark doesn’t affect my sight
And I forget
You’d think I’d be thankful
For the few precious moments
My mind isn’t full
To the brink of thoughts I think
Each day
About you
About me
About us
About she
And she
And he
And what was
And what will be
And what won’t
And what can’t
And if it was
And if it wasn’t
What I would feel
What you would feel
About where they went
About where they are
Each scar
Holds a different memory
But to me
At night
When my body loses the fight
It can never win
They’re all blur
No names
Just pictures
Run away
From myself
And forget
But in the morning it isn’t worth it
Isn’t worth waking up
And not remembering
The night before
The memories are gone
But the pain is still there
I find my way back
And pick myself up
Pretend in never happened
Like everyone is taught
Pretend you don’t know
Don’t act like you do
Because, when you do
More is expected of you
And it hurts more
But you do
Deep down
You know
You don’t tell
I don’t tell
I forget
For you
Whether you care or not
I don’t know
But still
I go
I pick myself up
I dust myself off
And get back in the fight
The
one
I’ll
never
win
one
I’ll
never
win
Almost at 35,000,
-Alice :)

Must...sit...on...inner-editor's...face...
Argh...the week two blues hit me late. Once I started letting the doubts in, they got everywhere and splattered paint all over my novel.
Now I'm convinced that my characters are terrible and have no personality, especially Salem, and Cinni is copying the personality of Tori (my other character.) My plot has managed to stay strong, but not strong enough to save my characters. I'm also convinced that my story is too sad. All I do is hurt my pointless characters and blah, blah, blah. You get the picture.
Well, that's where my "inner-editor" comes in. Everyone has one. Whether it edits words that come out your mouth (or don't) or your writing (like me) they suck. They want to go back, reread, rewrite, fix the numerous grammatical mistakes I'm sure are in there, or, better yet, screw the whole thing and go back to writing what I usually do.
Yeah. You see my problem.
So, I threw in a rainbow, my characters had a religious moment, and now I'm going to do a happy scene. I have yet to resort to ninjas. But it's coming...
Inner-editor, prepare to meet duct tape (or better yet, the twins,)

11/11/11 11:11:11 Make a Wish!
It'll only come once in a hundred years! (Maybe more!)
So, three things to say, well...maybe more or less, I didn't count...^^
1. Here's to thanking all Veterans: Past, present and future for serving your country and all those living in it by risking your life to protect it and us and give us the freedom and rights we experience every day. I salute you. (For more Veteran stuff: Look on my Fictionpress *hinthintwinkwink*)
2. HAPPY 11TH DAY OF NANOWRIMO! My weekend goal (approx.): 11,111 WORDS. Am I crazy? Yes. Yes I am.
3: Weird stuff that's happened in my novel so far:
1. Cinni (my main girl character) has a grandma who's mentioned
2. Her grandma has a New Jersey accent which I put in and then completely forgot about.
3. They're going to make money by showing her off as the amazing Flying Tap-dancer! (Or something...)
4. I may have accidentally sliced my boy characters (Salem) arm open...
5. Cinni has blacked out, like, three times by now...
6. My guy character writes poetry...
7. They MIGHT have to steal a car unless one magically appears...
Yeaaaah....I'm procrastinating. *sighness* Back to Word. ^^
LIVE LONG AND, WRITE LIKE THE WIND ALICE YOU LAZY BUM!

Riddles...
Yes...I'm a bit of a riddle freak...here's a few, for your enjoyment, whether you're here or not:
Every dawn begins with me
At dusk I'll be the first you see
And daybreak couldn't come without
What midday centers all about
Daises grow from me, I'm told
And when I come, I end all cold
But in the sun I won't be found
Yet still, each day I'll be around
What am I?
One by one we fall from heaven
down into the depths of past
And our world is ever upturned
so that yet some time we'll last.
What are we?
With pointed fangs it sits in wait
Patiently it doles out fate
Over bloodless victims proclaiming its might
Eternally joining in a single bite
Voiceless it cries, wingless flutters, toothless bites, mouthless mutters. What is it?
What falls but never breaks and breaks but never falls?
Down with the bloody Big Head,
-Alice

Funny thoughts about life...
I don't own this. Some of these are old than I am. I don't know who wrote these. I don't get why I'm showing these to nobody. Eh...they're funny. :)
-More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me.
-Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
-Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you’re going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you’re crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.
-That’s enough, Nickelback.
-That’s enough, Nickelback.
-I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.
-Is it just me, or are 80% of the people in the “people you may know” feature on Facebook people that I do know, but I deliberately choose not to be friends with?
-Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn’t work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message board or FAQ’s. We just figured it out. Today’s kids are soft.
-There is a great need for sarcasm font.
-Sometimes, I’ll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw it.
-How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
-I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
-I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
-The only time I look forward to a red light is when I trying to finish a text.
-Was learning cursive really necessary?
-LOL has gone from meaning, “laugh out loud” to “I have nothing else to say”. (Alice: I strongly believe in this one BTW. And I’m thinking of someone on this site when I post it. Worried yet?)
-I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
-Whenever someone says “I’m not book smart, but I’m street smart”, all I hear is “I’m not real smart, but I’m imaginary smart”.
-How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear what they said?
-I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a idiot from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!
-Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using ‘as in’ examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss’s last name to an attorney and said “Yes that’s G as in…(10 second lapse)…ummm…Goonies”
-While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it…thanks Mario Kart.
-MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
-Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
-I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.
-I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.
-Bad decisions make good stories.
-Whenever I’m Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning. 546 pictures? Don’t mind if I do!
-Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I’m from, this shouldn’t be a problem.
-You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you’ve made up your mind that you just aren’t doing anything productive for the rest of the day.
-Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don’t want to have to restart my collection.
-There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
-I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
-“Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this ever.
-I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Dang it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?
-I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
-When I meet a new person, I’m terrified of mentioning something they haven’t already told me but that I have learned from some light internet stalking.
-I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it’s on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.
-Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles…
-As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.
-I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
-Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn’t know what do to with it.
-Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, trying to find that one pair of earrings, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey – but I bet my bottom everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time…
-I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
-The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimated that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself. Thank you, for making me feel fat.
I agree with most of those. Especially the LOL one. Come on people. Try a little harder. ^^
Mwahahaha,

The Paradox of Our Time
My US History teacher read this to us this last friday. I think it holds a good message, so I'm posting it here as my "once in a blue moon" serious moment. ^^ I didn't write this. It was originally thought to have been written by George Carlin, a comedian, but now is thought to actually have been written by Dr. Bob Moorehead. Enjoy, nobody. :D
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away."
Always falling, always loving, always hoping,
-Alice :)
"The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but
shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more,
but have less; we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and
smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees
but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more
problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little,
drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too
little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our
possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and
hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to
life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but
have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer
space but not inner space.
We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air,
but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.
We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less.
We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold
more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less
and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small
character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of
two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one
night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer,
to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the
stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time
when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going
to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to
you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your
side.
Remember to give a warm hug to the one next to you because that is the only
treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember,
to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all
mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep
inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday
that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak
and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind."
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away."
Always falling, always loving, always hoping,
-Alice :)

I'd like to make myself believe...that planet Earth turns slowly...
I really have no idea why I'm on here besides "why not?" and now the twins are mad I stole their line, right guys?
Till: Well, slightly.
Wrevor: It's no fun if you don't have someone else to say "not why?" to complete the train of thought.
What train of thought? Speaking of Train though...uh...well...not really actually. I have nothing to say on here. I sincerely wonder why I'm here.
AJ: Where is here?
Ooooh dear...
Till: It's a blog!
Wrevor: Which no one reads.
Till: Besides Jen.
Wrevor: Occasionally.
Very occasionally. In fact, it IS an occasion when she gets on here and I'm beginning to wonder whether I'm spelling "occasion" wrong.
AJ: Why'd you say 'oh dear'? Or whatever.
Because now I have to explain you!
Scarlet: Why? No one reads this.
But what if somebody, in a fit of insanity actually stumbled across here, and then they wouldn't know who he even is!
Louis: Well, then they should follow your link to your writing and he will be explained there.
T.T That's the boring way...Anyways, people, this is AJ, AJ, the people (i.e. Jen who already knows who you are and therefore it is lost to us why we're introducing him again)/random stumbling person who will probably never actually come along, but if they do, we're at least explained.
Terry: Well, at least our record is straight.
AJ: And anyway, don't think they've already figured out my name by now? You've typed it at least three times.
Well-I-but-er...SO???
Till: What? I'm still a rockstar, I got my rock moves and I don't need you!
Wrevor: And guess what, I'm havin' more fun. And now that we're done, I don't wa-ant you tonight!
Sam: Didn't you guys already sing that?
Till: Well, what do you want us to sing?
I don't know. I'm somewhere in between "Be Our Guest" and "All That Jazz."
Wrevor: Hmm...that's interesting.
That's it?
Twins: *nods*
...anyone actually have anyone important to say?
Scarlet: Not really.
Louis: I didn't want to be here in the first place. I'm still missing my soap, by the way.
Todd: OMG! LOOK! WICH!
AJ: WHERE???
He means a sandwich.
Sam: Yeah, and it's MINE, so don't think about taking it!
Twins: *look at each other* *run off to probably get something to steal Monica's sandwich*
Terry: *facepalm*
*sigh* *turns off computer...er...well, you know what I mean*
Terry: No we don't!
AJ: Yeah, I'm confussled still.
*rolls eyes* WELL, too bad because I'M not explaining it.
Twins: *jump out of nowhere and attack Monica with something inbetween peanut butter and paperclips*
Sam: AH! *runs*
AJ: *hides*
Terry: *ducks behind the couch*
Scarlet: DOES ANYONE WANT SUSHI???
Everyone: YES! *run into Scarlet's tunnel to Japan*
Twins: GIVE UP THE SANDWICH!
Sam: NEVER!!!
Till: Well, slightly.
Wrevor: It's no fun if you don't have someone else to say "not why?" to complete the train of thought.

WOAH.
I was on here 337 TIMES????
...that's...weird. I seriously didn't think I was on here THAT much...
*shrugs*
C'est la vie.

*raises eyebrows skeptically*
Hmmmm.....
I'm considering putting page views on here just to be ironic because, let's face it, most of them will be me, checking for spelling errors and trying to make my poll question work. That and Jen every once in a while, maybe...
...
I think I will.

...Seriously? What's the point of titling these?
Most of the titles have NOTHING to do with whatever the heck this post is about and they're stupid to boot! It's not like this is Time magazine either. If it was, we would be having some SERIOUS revamping to do... *looks around shiftily*
Heh, we're getting new carpet in our house so EVERYTHING is getting sorted and cleaned and furniture pushed around and it totally looks like we're moving. It's like Spring Cleaning in Summer. ^^
We're a little late. xD
On the bright side, we get to take a break and go swimming...
Till: Yay!
Wrevor: Swimming!
*rolls eyes* Swimsuits?
Twins: Check!
*sighness* ...yes.
Jen, when ever you read this, if I were you, I would un-follow this. It's not worth your time...
Scarlet: I'M HALFWAY THERE!
How is that possible???
Terry: Don't...ask...
...
YAY TINN AND LEM!!!! BAHAHAHAHA!!! :D
Moving nowhere,

I. Give. Up.
If you want to see random stuff pop up out of nowhere that should be there but is apparently invisible, just drag your mouse across my page because you'll be in for a FUN time.
*rolls eyes* I officially hate technology.
Till: I thought you ALWAYS hated technology.
...true, true, young padawon...
Wrevor: xD The blooper reel in the car was hilarious...
*rolls eyes* I was just bored, therefore bloopers and imaginary music videos were BOUND to happen...*sighness*
Oh well. Nobody besides Jen reads this anyway and she's not on very much. I won't worry about it much...
....
I want to use the word "mollycoddling."
Terry: What?
It's my new word that I learned! It just means overprotecting.
Monica: You COULD be writing...
Why do you care?
Monica: The faster you get done writing that Boredom Corner chapter, the faster you can stop calling Monica.
Don't assume things. Pedrofurter dragged on.
Scarlet: Ugh. *still digging*
STOP. DIGGING. TO. POLAND!
Scarlet: Make me.
Make me make you.
Scarlet: Make me make you make me.
Make me make you make me make you.
Scarlet: Make me make you make-
Twins: SHUT UP PEOPLE!!!
Everyone: O.O
Till: Arguing will get us nowhere!
Wrevor: Just stay calm and quickly and orderly proceed to the nearest exit located-
Till: *elbows him* Wrong speech.
Wrevor: *looks down* Oh yeah. Ahem. Fore score, and seven years ago, our founding fathers-
Till: Dude! Give me those! *grabs papers*
Wrevor: *hangs head*
This could take hours.
Till: I have a dream!!!
Wrevor: That's wrong too.
Till: How many speeches do you have in this pile? *shuffles through it*
Wrevor: *pulls one out* May the force, be with you all.
Till: *pulls another one out* This one is the lyrics to Sweet Transvestite.
...so...?
Twins: Who wants tacos?
Everyone: ME!
