Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words

I can just see someone going in to see a psychologist and saying "I've got- I've got.... Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia....." then hyperventilating because of the length of the word.

Triops!

Ever heard of triops? They are these adorable little crustaceans that are known for their unique little 'aqua'-batics. I have five of them in a little fish bowl. Their names are Shakespeare, Kelly, Fantin, Jeanette and Rubie. Except, due to cannibalistic natures, Rubie was eaten by one of his siblings yesterday. I guess that means I need to give them more fish food so that they don't eat anymore of each other. However, the bowl they are in is rather small, so it will probably be "survival of the fittest." And it looks like Jeanette will be the next entree for the others. :^(

Kit Kittredge Movie

Looking for a movie with a good mix of laughs and drama? This is the one for you. It takes place during the Great Depression, so a few parts are depressing, but other than that, it is really fun. I went and saw it last week in the theater. When it comes out on DVD, I am going to be the first to buy it!!!

Family Camp-Summer 2006

Family Camp is a lot of fun! I remember that a little while after that picture was taken, my brother and cousin were out exploring when they found a bandana and some black hair sticking out of the ground. We got really scared (we thought it was a body) and told my dad. Upon digging it up, we found that it was a dead skunk. Pee-yew, what a stink!!!

Enoch Stickers Slimefoot Mucus-Snailbrains

One of my very best friends. Enie is very sweet and slimy. One thing I don't like about him is that he likes to lick my hand, and snails, because they don't have any teeth, have razor-sharp tongues. OUCH!!! He is shy, but curious and a good companion.

About Me

Hi! I have never done a blog before, so bear with me! Well, I am thirteen years old and I am going into the ninth grade in August.Some of my hobbies are reading, writing stories, poetry and in my diary, playing outside with my evil little brothers, Tyler and Ryan, doing things on the computer, and I like art projects, though I am not at all unusually talented. I'm not your average, social-butterfly attached-to-the-telephone female. Actually, I'm kind of a nerd. You know, the weird glasses, 4.0 GPA, 150+ IQ type.Well, that's about it!
