Cops and Robbers *coughcough*

(Okay, the “*coughcough*” was mostly random.) When you see the words “Cops and Robbers,” there are a couple things you might think of. One of these things is a game called Cops and Robbers (see more in blockquote below). The game is the closest to what I’m talking about.

Today for math, I did a graphing game on the computer called: Cops and Robbers. In the game, you were supposed to find the robber by entering a guess of what the “robber’s” (x,y) position was. If you guessed wrong, it would put a little blue dot in that position that had a number on it. That number told people how many “paces” the robber was away; most the time those paces weren’t just straight lines.

So what happened?

At the start I just played normally: make a guess, then go from there. Then I randomly started clicking the “test coords” button with the same “coords” (coordinates) entered. My mom and I started joking about this, and I told her that if the game had me down for a ridiculous number of guesses, we’d know that it counted my extra clicks. She said, “If it says something like ‘You took 72 guesses,’ we’ll know it did.”

Later as I was playing with it, she wondered if we actually could make 72 guesses. (The game didn’t count my extra clicks.) I said it was easy to find out, and I started a math problem to see how many guesses we could make. It turned out to be 169.

At first Mom thought it would be hard to make all the guesses because we’d probably accidentally hit the Robber. But I pointed out: “No, we wouldn’t even have to find the Robber; we’d just have to find where the robber CAN’T be.” This made me go off and want to try. And look at what I did: (more…)

Favorite animals (Ya’ll know mine ;))

Okee-doke, I’m taking a try at *drumroll* POLLS!!!! *confetti flies everywhere*. So I decided that since ya’ll (I’m talking with a sorta western accent because I feel like it :P.) know mine I should know yours! So I have some animals that I thought were usually  pretty POP-ular. So feel free! Take a vote! And enjoy ;).

Panther takes a dip

[The Adventures of Panther and Cimorene, Chapter One]

Please look at “PussyCat Gives Birth” for the Prologue. After that please enjoy chapter one:

Kittens Playing by Hitchster

One day PussyCat was watching her playing kits, soon they would be going to school! Panther laughed batting playfully at Cimorene who batted back; one of the seven kittens was chasing her tail, another rubbing in a patch of cat nip, and a third eying a yarn ball while the last two ate the mush their owners had prepared for them.

Tiger came up and rubbed against PussyCat flicking his tail. “Beautiful day for a swim.”

“Ha! That’s something our owners would say! Cats going for a swim? Honestly Tiger, I sometimes think you’ve lost your marbles; as our owners would say,” chided PussyCat, “You know I also sometimes think we copy too much from our owners.” Tiger only laughed.

After lunch the family was sitting out in the sun, trying to take their after noon naps… Except for Panther, who was running from spot to spot, bouncing with energy, and basically keeping everyone awake.

Suddenly a mouse ran out of the barn and, his eyes going wide with excitement, Panther raced after it. He tripped over Cimorene, who glared at him sleepily, he crawled over PussyCat and Tiger, who were sleeping next to each other, and kept running. Sighing Tiger got up and went after him.

After a few minutes there was a small yow; then some shouting and laughing mixed together. Rolling her eyes PussyCat got up. “What have those boys got into this time? Come on kids, we better check to make sure they’re okay.” And all the kits, sleepy and grumpy, got up and followed PussyCat after Panther and Tiger.

When the seven cats arrived at the scene they instantly began gaping; for this is what they saw: Now they were standing on a small path that ran along a small stream that ended in a pool, and in that pool floundering to stay above the surface was Panther! And standing at the edge of the pool rolling on the ground laughing was Tiger!

Rolling her eyes PussyCat waded into the water, obviously reluctantly, and grabbed Panther by the nape of his neck, then she padded back out. Pussy set Panther down and they both shook their paws; Pussy also gave Tiger a good *wap* with her paw.

Later as they were all laying out in the sun Panther exclaimed: “I think I shall never do that again! I think I shall stay right here and take a nap and keep to Mommy’s milk!”

Cimorene, who was also still awake, rolled her eyes and replied, “You silly! We can’t live on Mommy’s milk forever. Besides, that would be weak!”

“Humph, not if I was the one doing it,” muttered Panther before rolling over and going to sleep.

Spring 2010

In some ways I’m happy that spring’s here, and in others I am not.

Next Thursday is the culmination for this year’s co-op session, and it won’t start up again until fall! This means that there are some of my friends I won’t be able to actually see face to face until then.

But spring also brings good news! Flowers are growing, birds singing, color has returned to the world! Though I’m beginning to wonder if we have a little too much green… 😛 just joking!

Also coming with spring is swimming! Once it warms up a bit, maybe my family can get out our pool. And since I’m going to start running, it will be great to take a run then jump in the pool for a cool, relaxing, swim!

All in all, spring is my favorite season, and I’m excited that it’s here (I know, I’m a bit late :P). I mean, can’t you tell I like it a lot just by my new springy header? Oh wait, that’s because I make this blog’s themes seasonal :P. Anyway, I hope you are enjoying the new spring season wherever you are :D!

How my name nearly changed… the spiced-up version :P

Okay, we’re back. Now this is the non-true, spiced-up version of how my name nearly changed:

Pembroke Castle 1 by Athena's Pix (In Ireland for Easter)

I, Princess Kitten of… erm… I don’t know… Kitten’s Purring? Anyway, back to the story:

I, Princess Kitten of the land of Kitten’s Purring, was walking along a street observing my kingdom.

Now I was the Princess of this land. But there was no king or queen, prince or other princess. I was feeling very lonely.

Now of course I had my subjects, but they always talk about the same thing. And they don’t really let you talk back. Once I found one that did talk back… It didn’t go well. He was after all half crazy… or was it just his randomness? Read more about that encounter in “Spam (this is a random….).”

So anyway, after a while you memorize each subject’s story/conversation/whatever you wanna call it, and he or she gets boring… And I get bored with them faster than most people.

So I decided I would write a letter to a friend of mine, Climbing Gecko from the land of Intellectual Ramblings. So I tramped up to my room and pulled out my quill and some paper and started to write. But then I didn’t know what to write, so I decided I would pay his land a visit so I would know what to say.

So I got in my traveling clothes, petted (yes, I know that’s the wrong word) my kitties and my white tiger and started off, leaving my white tiger in charge.

My plain brown T-shirt, blue jeans, and tennis shoes, twisted and flapped in the wind. I stopped next to the stables and grabbed my favorite stallion. He was a smooth coated brown Arabian named Elementary.

I saddled him up and started off, taking my time. We walked out through the city gates and down the long stone pathway that went between two mountains. It weaved and twisted, and I listened to the steady Clop clop of Elementary’s hooves against the stones.

Now it was still kinda cold, and dark gray thunder clouds covered the sky. I was able to keep things bright and cheerful in my land, but outside of it was a whole different matter.

Finally we emerged into an elegant green plain and farm land with rolling hills. I took a deep breath of the wet air; wet air could also be called humid air, you know [random science fact].

We trotted for a while, then it happened!

Homeschool kids carnival…

Well! A couple days ago the homeschooled kids carnival went up and my post, “My winter wonderland,” was in it; along with a few other entertaining posts from many other blogs, including those of my blogging class class-mates (see my post “Bloggers Ed 101“).

So click here to go and look around the fifteenth home schooled kid carnival, there’s sure to be things for everyone! Someone even put something about the history of cotton in it!

If Fleas could flee

They can.

How my name nearly changed :P

This… Is a story… About… How… My name… Nearly changed… To… Kitteb.

One day (two weeks ago on the 21st of February), I was commenting on my blogging classmate Climbing Gecko. For some reason I was putting my name at the end of the comment… and… I put… Kitteb… Of course I did fix it, so my name didn’t change.

That was a boring story… Hmm… let’s see if I can’t spice that up….

To be continued…. The spiced-up version! 😀

“Spam” (This is a random funny post)

This is a random post about spam, it’s completely random. Why is it random? Because I’m random! 😛

“Wait, I thought you said this post was about spam. Where’s the stuff about spam?”

You interrupted, that’s why I haven’t said anything about spam.

“Okay, so I won’t interrupt. Now where’s the stuff about spam?”

Spam is good, I love spam, this post is random.

“Huh? I thought you were talking about the other type of spam!”

What? Oh, that type of spam? Easy, this post is not spam.

“YOU…. you…. I’m leaving!”

Um… Okay, okay, let me see…. Oh yes! The old Blogger’s Rule: You’re not a real blogger unless you eat spam.

“You’re crazy.”

Oh, was it: You’re not a real blogger unless you can get spam for free?

“You are a failure uneducated. Did you go to school?”

Hmm, did I? Nope, I didn’t, I still do :D.

“Never mind, I can see this fight is hopeless.”

Nothing is hopeless! You just need God on your side.

“Okay, let me rephrase that. I can see this fight is pointless.”

If you say so :D!

“Uh, have a educated nice day. And see you later.”

Yeah, see ya! 😀 and thanks for visiting!

“Yeah, uh, no problem.”

THE END

That was not supposed to be serious. If want something serious about spam, go to my mom’s post Week 7: Spam Comments at her blog Blogging 2 Learn (mentioned in my earlier post, Blogging 101.)

Also, here is a funny video about spam:

The end of global warming, a look into the future

The  My winter wonder land stories are taking a long time to write, so I’ve decided to post other things while waiting.

Here is the story of how the human race will defeat global warming, and don’t worry, I saw it in my crystal ball, tea leaves, clouds, and the like ;-).

The first disaster, how it all started

Washington, the White House

“Sir, there’s been a explosion in New York… the whole downtown… It was sudden, few survived, and most of them will be handicapped for the rest of their lives… it was very bad, all were wounded badly… yes, sir… children, sir?…Sorry, sir…Right away, sir.”
