Blogger challenge #1

(For Blogging Challenge #1)

Why should people visit my blog? That is the question — and here’s the answer: Because they want to! Why should they want to? Maybe because they like hearing about the funny or interesting things that happen in my life, or because they enjoy my stories. I believe everyone should have their own reason for doing something, even if it matches someone else’s reason!

LET’S GET THIS PARTY MOVING!

WOO! LET’S GET THIS PARTY ON THE ROAD AND ROLLING! YEAH! Uh. . . one moment, what party were we talking about? Let’s try this again:

When the world explodes, it was not my fault. Yes, I have foretold the world exploding, but it was not my fault.

Okay, lets chase to the cut! Er, cut to the chase. Did I mention cake? No I didn’t, good, because there is none, mwahaha! THERE IS NO CAKE!

Gecko, you’re rubbing off on me.

So, what was the point of this post again? Oh yeah, there was none! CAKE CAKE CAKE! NOM NOM NOM! Oh yeah, no cake. Um. . . Okay, that failed.

I have to write three 6-12 sentence long paragraphs for writing class, fun. Heh heh.

This was my randomist post yet, I think. HAHA! This is my 58th post, so Gecko, now you know how many posts I have. And I shall soon have more *bows and exits*

Oh look, there was cake. . . Heheh. . . yeah. . . about that, uh. . . Don’t get angry. Aah! No! *runs away from angry mob*.

Looney Tunes – Left brained

This is a slightly edited version of my essay on Looney Tunes — made for my high-school writing class — Enjoy!

Looney Tunes — Left brained

Bugs Bunny and Wile E. Coyote

Bugs Bunny is no cute and cuddly indoor rabbit. Wile E. Coyote is no bulls-eye shooting coyote. Opposite in what they get, but similarly outrageously funny, these are the subject of my essay today. Sit back and enjoy as I explore the world of these two Looney Tune characters.

Bugs Bunny is a cheerful “Little Bunny Rabbit.” His enemies vary greatly, but whether cackling old witches, little bald hunters, or raging bulls, he always comes out on top. Though he is quite the foe when angered, he doesn’t look for a fight; often times he will try to make peace, until finally he turns around (not literally) and declares, “Of course you realize, this means war.” He often speaks to the audience by making little comments about the antagonist, like how he’s a bit crazy. Another good line is when Bugs will come up behind his foe, who thinks he’s about to corner Bugs, and say, “What’s up Doc?” It usually takes a moment for whomever he is speaking to, to realize who Bugs is, and the foe-turned-victim might say something like, “I’m hunting bunny rabbits.”

Wile E. Coyote is sometimes Bugs Bunny’s foe, but he also has his own little show. This show is sometimes used as a before-the-actual-show thing. Wile E. Coyote, unlike Bugs, has only one nemesis, though for him this is more than enough, especially as it seems all of nature is on Road Runners side. Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote’s enemy and prey, is extremely fast and smart. Wile E. Coyote has come inches from catching Road Runner, but always something goes wrong. Often he will fall off a cliff and leave a huge imprint in the ground. In one bit I watched on YouTube (though this was not the whole show, I believe), he actually caught Road Runner, but in the process he had shrunken extremely small – and as he looked up and saw Road Runner’s humongous head lean down to look into Wile E.’s eyes, Wile E. realized this slight problem, and, looking angrily out of the screen at his audience, he held up two signs, his usual means of communicating with the audience, which stated, “Okay, wise guys, -you always wanted me to catch him-” and “Now what?” Now, my parting words: That’s all folks!

Princess Kitten, and the case of the poofing name tag

My name tag went poof last week. Where could it have gone? We found it, yes we did, and this is the story of how:

I walked out of my class to the small café area. I went over to the name tag box and took off my name tag. I put my name tag in the folder (which was in a box with other folders) where my mom’s and my name tags went.

I walked over to talk and play with some friends before it was time to go. My mom put her name tag up. Then it got freaky, because she asked me, “Where’s your name tag?”

I blinked at her. “I put it in our folder. Why?”

“I couldn’t find it. Oh well, I probably just missed it.”

I decided to investigate. I went and checked: no name tag. I searched the folders around ours: no name tag. I began to worry. Gecko asked me what I was doing. “Looking for my name tag. It disappeared, went poof,” I told him.

I searched some more, I was getting more worried. Then, lo and behold, I found it. I had actually put it between two folders, and it had slipped so it was under them, but I finally unearthed — or rather “unfoldered” — it!

[Note: This is an edited version. My brain is not large enough to remember all the details. Also, this week, instead of poofing, the name tag fell out of its holder and got left in the folder, lol!]

Anatomy and other not quite random stuff

WOO HOO! I finally pronounced anatomy without help! (Annat-tommi)

Anatomy means: Parts of the body.

Why I needed to know how to pronounce it: because I’m taking an Anatomy and Physiology class in my Monday Fun Classes — I’m also taking high-school writing and blogging (again ;)).

High-school writing

In high-school writing, I’m going be writing an essay on Looney Tunes. We’re going be doing three paragraphs of left brain and of three of right brain.

The left side of your brain deals with facts. These are already made up, but not nearly as fun. The right side of your brain deals in random and creative stuff — I like this side better, but you’re more likely to be working with “raw material.”

Anatomy and Physiology

In anatomy and physiology, I need to be reading about muscles in Anatomy and Physiology the Easy Way. There is no assigned reading, but my teacher will prefer it if I do.

We’ve learned the meanings of several words, the different systems and stuff. Here’s a list of the systems:

Skin/dermal
Muscular
Skeletal
Digestive
Endocrine
Circulatory
Respiratory
Nervous
Lymphatic
Reproductive
Cellular
Urinary (Urinary is only considered one in some places, as it can tag on to several others.)

Right now we’re studying the muscular system. For instance: the muscles themselves don’t get stronger; they just get used to lifting heavier things.

Blogging

Blogging is blogging. It was very quiet. So were the first few weeks last time. There’s a lot more people, and only Curly Ben and I retook the class, so I’ll be putting new blogs in my blogroll soon.

We’re also working a little bit in the book DownWRITE Funny. Last week, we also did a brainstorm on how to get ideas.

[Note: I started this last week, so some of these things are done, which means I might be posting about them soon!]

The story of two plastic bags

Once there were two plastic bags who loved each other. They lived in a little box where lots of other plastic bags lived.

One day a human came and took one of the bags out of the box, and the other bag came with it. When they reached the kitchen the extra plastic bag was discovered and put back, the remaining plastic bag had hot-dogs put in it. The plastic bags wondered if they’d ever see each other again before they died. Poor plastic bags.
