Are we missing something?

Lookit Lookit Lookit!!
Picasa is so wonderful to meeeee! They updated their tools today. Let me introduce you to...
THE CINAMASCOPE
And with the click of the mouse...
It's magically transformed to a MOVIE QUALITY PICTURE!
More examples to feast your eyes on: (all pictures taken by me myself and I =D )
Anyhows, I'm pretty psyched.
...Not to mention getting geekier every giga-second.

Chum O' Mine
Hi.
It's raining.
This is my pal "Dell".
We like to hang.
We're tight. *flips sunglasses up*
Through the years, Dell & I have gotten quite close. Our friendship started when he was only a poor, memory-wiped, data base, bursting with potential. Ever has he been a faithful companion to me, always there when I need to convert my braincells into mush, and waste all the time in the world. Our daily fellowship has created that ever-so-magical bonding which resides between girl and computer.
As Dell is from the species genre often remarked of as "man's best friend", it is only fitting that we take great pains not overlook him and his kind. Though modest machines they remain, they have graced us with countless hours of enjoyment, entertainment, enlightenment, and anything else under the sun that starts with an E-N.
Dell faithfully sits on my desk, wishing me a sweet dreams every night, and forever warms up to me in the morning. We've shared good times and bad, and yet, our relationship through virus threats, spilled drinks, and screen-freezes remains ever true.
(Amen to that)
Yes, we as human beings certainly would not be the wholly refined couch-potatoes that we are today without such as Dell.
-Plink.

I Am Artist
Over the past few months, I've come to a conclusion. Or mayhaps, a series of conclusions. Thereover, I announce the following.
I'm into drawing.
I toy with words.
I'm blessed by music.
And I'm paranoid when it comes to taking pictures.
Suddenly, the world makes more sense.
Whew, I feel better already.

Trust Not The Toothbrush
I took a picture of this because I'm a dork.
I can't for the life of me figure out what a rubber handle grip on a toothbrush would provide control of.
Tell me people, do they think that we are all ignorant to proper teeth-cleaning utensil handleage?? It looks to me as if they're hinting at something in this all but suspicious appearing diagram! Perhaps the toothbrush I so innocently ripped from its tidy little plastic packaging job is really a weapon of destruction!! (I'm sure you've all heard about the File-in-Cake Prison Delivery Co.) Obviously this element is has a secret capability of the unthinkable. A missile of some sort? Otherwise used for impaling unsuspecting victims?? Methinks surveillance is in order. You are all warned. If anything anti-ordinary is noted, contact mytoothbrush=evilestantagonistsincedarthvader.org * immediately.
Trust not the toothbrush. For they shalt deceive.

Rabbit Trails, Bunny Trails, Anything-That-Hops-Trails, Etc.
I have a thing about baseball.
Yes, it was baseball games, baseball practice, baseball on TV, baseball bobble heads, baseball in the park, baseball in the backyard, baseball in the street, baseball at dinner, baseball on the bookshelves, baseball cards, baseball trophies, baseball bats, gloves, & helmets, baseball on toast, baseball with folding chairs, baseball in shiny tin foil on the Christmas tree...
Twas and tis my childhood.
But that's not the point.
Thus, the question is this:
What is the point?
---Ah yes, I remember.
Wedding bells sounded over last weekend. The pastor of the wedding and his wife stayed at our house. They left us this.
But the best part is...
Truly, he had a giant knot on his shin. Purely from my nose.
Impressive huh? I mean, who gets to brag about packing such a whopper of a punch with the projectile of their face??
Anyhow, I'm fine (despite a sore snout).
And it was one of the most fun games I've had in quite a while (despite losing that time around)
Goodbye.

Wedding bells sounded over last weekend. The pastor of the wedding and his wife stayed at our house. They left us this.
It's beautiful, isn't it?
They were wonderful guests, and it was great to have them over! We were really really blessed by them.
That being said, my family and I have been busy. What with school, Arlo barking his head off at hot air balloons (tis the season), and hockey---wait a minute, HOCKEY!! You haven't heard the latest ehhhh? Very well then, I shall give the visual.
 |
| SHARKIPEDES! |
 |
| 99! |
I believe I've said it before, but 99 is my favorite number. Therefore: I Am Happy.
Happy happy happy happy about the jersey have a big ol' nine/nine on it. In the previous church hockey seasons the I've participated in, the t-shirts did NOT have numbers. What is it about numbers on the back anyway?? I really can't tell you why everyone goes crazy about tiny little things like this, but who am I to understand?
Oh, and unlike last season, I was able to MATCH!
Okay, now I'm: Very Happy
Very happy very happy very happy very happy about matching. Read the past here.
Furthermore, I have obtained two goals in three games (both while playing defense), and we hold one win outta two loses. Not too bad, but then again---far from perfect.
Now it's story time.
My youth pastor is a hockey purist. He watches hockey. He talks hockey. He eats hockey. He cheers loudly at the hockey players when they Geronimo for the rubber and punch the guts out of each other. Thus...HE KNOCKED A WALL DOWN INSIDE OUR CHURCH AND MADE A FLOOR-HOCKEY COURT. We don't use skates or anything, just hockey sticks & the goalies get masks and pads. We get jerseys, listen to loud chaotic music, and generally act like a hyped up youth group while pelting pel-mel after a rubber ball.
Seriously. It is:
SO. MUCH. FUN.
Anyhow, last night, while playing a tough team in our second game (after totally dominating in our first game), we were really pouring our energy out on the game. Eventually, I---on defense---find myself sprinting to the ball in the corner. Unfortunately, so was another kid---one of the seniors (can you say competitive?). The only thing I really recall is simply seeing one of my teammate's shoe. Then I shut my eyes and the next thing I knew was that I was on the floor and my nose felt like someone bashed my face against a ton of bricks (which is very very close to what happened).
After my wonderful little nose-diving escapade, I was very proud of my dear little snout because it ACTUALLY STAYED ON MY FACE! Which made me happy. And then I got up and started playing again.
After I had switched out with another defense man, I was chatting with the kid who's shoe I whacked my head against (actually I whammo-ed against two people, but one after the other). Low and behold, My nose left a welt on his leg.
Wha??
C'mon,
WHO DOES THAT??Truly, he had a giant knot on his shin. Purely from my nose.
Impressive huh? I mean, who gets to brag about packing such a whopper of a punch with the projectile of their face??
Anyhow, I'm fine (despite a sore snout).
And it was one of the most fun games I've had in quite a while (despite losing that time around)

Musical Pictures
Oh hi.
Even though, I'll never know what's up ahead
I'm sittin' where I'm supposed to
Floatin' on the cloud, can't nobody come close to
The concrete and the sky switch places
So now my ceiling is painted with stary spaces
Firecracker to the moon, keep your eyes shut
Blastin' off like a rocket from the ground up
Now the taxi's sellin' lights on the runway, fly
Condo on the milky way
A house on the cloud and God's my landlord
And for my rent all I pay is my drive
Got that so If you need me you can find me in the alligator sky
I'm drowning in this starry serenade
Where ecstasy becomes cavalier
Reverie whispered in my ear
I'm scared to death that I'll never be afraid
Roller coaster through the atmosphere
My imagination's taking me away
Uh, now I'mma dance like I never dance
Sing like I never sing, dream like I've never dreamed
Or try to, 'cause we've been lied to
That the sun is somethin' that we can't fly to
Well, I sit on my star and see street lights
Look up, ha, you'll miss me if you blink twice
Imagination is high and if you got it you can meet me
When you see me in the alligator sky
Where was I when the rockets came to life
And carried you away into the alligator sky?
Even though I'll never know what's up ahead
I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go
Where was I when the rockets came to life
And carried you away into the alligator sky?
Even though I'll never know what's up ahead
I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go
In the alligator sky...
More photos of randomness.
This gives me an idea.
Da Da DAAAA!!
Alligator Sky
By Owl City
Where was I when the rockets came to life
And carried you away into the alligator sky
And carried you away into the alligator sky
Even though, I'll never know what's up ahead
I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go.
Uh uh, that's not a plane, that's me
I'm sittin' where I'm supposed to
Floatin' on the cloud, can't nobody come close to
The concrete and the sky switch places
So now my ceiling is painted with stary spaces
Firecracker to the moon, keep your eyes shut

Snooper's Paradise
Excuse the title.
Okay, so I did this whole big novel-thing. Originally it was a tag. But nobody tagged me. Hope you enjoy it.
1. What’s your word count?
Sadly, 6,228.
2. How long until you finish?
Umm... I'm only 1/12 of the way done--WITH THE ROUGH.
3. If you have finished, how long did it take you?
Ha!
4. Do you have an outline?
I tried to scribble a little down, but I stink with outlines.
5. Do you have a plot?
Eh...I sure hope that's what you could call it. The fact that it's on the historical-fiction side helps.
6. How many words do you typically write a day?
Lately?? None.
7. What was your greatest word count in one day?
How could I know?! I haven't kept track!
8. What was your least impressive word count in one day?
If I were to guess, I'd say about negative 37.
9. What inspired you to write?
The fact that the hero was a real person and was estimated to be about 14 years old when his adventures first started. My first thought was: “Whoa, that's only--so-and-so years--older/younger than me!”
10. Does your novel/story have a theme song?
Umm...Just about any movie score would fit somewhere in the plot. Other than that, songs like “I Will Follow” (Christ Tomlin) theme it pretty well.
11. Assign each of your major characters a theme song.
Since I listen to Owl City while writing, all my characters who have theme songs that were have been preformed by Adam Young.
Danthren – “In Christ Alone”
Bennet – * gets goofy smirk * “Halcyon”, (okay, so maybe not, but the music reminds me of Bennet a little) and for his bittersweet side: “Umbrella Beach.”
Eliot – Ehh...Eliot seriously doesn't click with music. The only kind I can think of is—fiddle music. Weird. I'll be thinking on this one.
Brenin – Heheh. “Captains and Cruise Ships.” (Silly Brenin...)
Emery – “Lonely Lullaby” (hey, I'm a fan). Or even “Enchanted” (Yes, Adam Young has created his own version of this even though it's a Taylor Swift song [I'm not a Taylor Swift listener]).
12. Which character is most like you?
Oooh. [If only] Danthren.
13. Which character would you most likely be friends with?
Probably Eliot.
14. Do you have a Gary-Stu or Mary Sue character?
What the heck is that??
15. Who is your favorite character in your novel?
Oh, I think Emery—she comes complete with sticky spots and thickening plots (feeling punny?).
16. Have your characters ever done something completely unexpected?
I'm only ten pages into the book! Besides, Bennet's entire character IS doing the completely unexpected.
17. Have you based any of your novel directly on personal experiences?
Uh...depends on what you mean by “directly.” More like vaguely.
18. Do you believe in plot bunnies?
STOP WITH THE WRITER'S LINGO!
19. Is there magic in your novel/story?
Nah.
20. Are any holidays celebrated in your novel/story?
Not yet. Important dates--[Ahem: coronation] yes.
21. Does anyone die?
Waddaya think? Of course! (I think a “duh” belongs here)
22. How many cups of coffee/tea have you consumed during your writing experience?
Bleh. Zip and zero. I consume water.
23. What is the latest you have stayed up writing?
'Bout 9:45ish (I have a bedtime).
24. What is the best line?
So far? “Go now. Your faith has empowered you.” Best meaning significant. Otherwise relative and opinionated.
25. What is the worst line?
That's relative too. Besides, I haven't finished, so ask me later.
26. Have you dreamed about your novel/story or its characters?
Oooooooh, don't I wish!!
27. Does your novel rely heavily on allegory?
Not sure on that one.
28. Summarize your novel/story in under fifteen words.
Danthren and his friends struggle through trials and tribulations, keeping faith in the Good Shepard.
29. Do you love all your characters?
Not really.
30. Have you done something sadistic or cruel to your characters specifically to increase your word count?
HAHAHAHAHA.
31.
What was the last thing your main character ate?
Umm... I don't think the story has even gotten to a mealtime yet (yes, I'm really that slow).
32. Describe your main character in three words.
Faithful. Leader. Courageous.
33. What would your antagonist dress up as for Halloween?
Hard to say. What does Satan wear for a scary costume that's creepier than himself?
34. Does anyone in your story go to a place of worship?
Their knees.
35. How many romantic relationships take place in your novel/story?
Two. Actually, eventually three (but I the third one won't really take place “in” the story).
36. Are there any explosions in your novel/story?
Haven't had any...yet.
37. Is there an apocalypse in your novel/story?
Apocalypse? Like a zombie apocalypse? Nadda.
38. Does your novel take place in a post-apocalyptic world?
Um, I don't think so (for the sake of my characters, I hope not!).
39. Are there zombies, vampires or werewolves in your novel/story?
Seriously? Would I do that (exception on the werewolf)?? No way!
40. Are there witches, wizards or mythological creatures/figures in your novel/story?
No. But I might end up making a creature outta my own imagination.
41. Is anyone reincarnated?
Nooooooo...
42. Is anyone physically ailed?
Yup.
43. Is anyone mentally ill?
Wait, the person physically ill is physically ill because he is mentally ill. So...yes.
44. Does anyone have swine flu?
If he does, it's a really weird case of it.
45. Who has pets in your novel and what are they?
I don't think that there are any pets. Unless you count Brenin's family's horse farm.
46. Are there angels, demons, or any religious references/figures in your novel/story?
Oh yeah!
47. How about political figures? Are there political figures in my book?
Uh-huh.
...wait, your book??
48. Is there incessant drinking?
Umm, maybe?? Spoiled, rich kings tend to think a good deal about wine.
49. Are there board games? If so, which ones?
* gasps * Hey, good idea! Chess might show up somewhere...or maybe I'll invent one!!
50. Are there any dream sequences?
YEAH.
51. Is there humor?
Hopefully.
52. Is there tragedy?
Whew, you bet!
53. Does anyone have a temper tantrum?
Justified anger. Petty squabbles. Arguments between friends. It's all there.
54. How many characters end up single at the end of your novel/story?
That's an odd thing to ask. Besides, it's easier to count people who end up married than unmarried anyway.
55. Is anyone in your novel/story adopted?
As a matter of fact—yes.
56. Does anyone in your novel/story wear glasses?
Heh. I imagin him with a pair, but I know he doesn't have them. I don't think that glasses exist in that world yet.
57. Has your novel/story provided insight about your life?
You tell me.
58. Your personality?
Insight on my personality? I'd like it to. (After all, it is a book written by me)
59. Has your novel/story inspired anyone?
Umm...I hope not, because nobody—including me—has ever read the whole thing.
60. How many people have asked to read your novel/story?
You mean the one and a half rough chapters? None. But two have read it at my pleading.
61. Have you drawn any of your characters?
I think I might have tried at one point. If I did, I trashed it.
62. Has anyone drawn your characters for you?
If only.
63. Does anyone vomit in your novel/story?
Wow. That's awkward. Affirmitive.
64. Does anyone bleed in your novel/story?
* Laughs *
65. Do any of your characters watch TV?
Technoligy status conlifcts with that.
66. What size shoe does your main character wear?
Didn't think to ask him.
67. Do any of the characters in your novel/story use a computer?
Once again, Tech issues there.
68. How would you react if your novel/story was erased entirely?
I'd spend a day staring glumly out the window, wondering about the changes I'll make when I re-write it.
69. Did you cry at killing off any of your characters?
When I came up with the idea to have him die, I feel slightly sad, but proud of myself when I thought of the weeping of the readers when they would read it.
70. Did you cheer when killing off one of your characters?
That would be cool, but emotions don't come to me like that.
71. What advice would you give to a fellow writer?
#1, Give it a lot of thought before you start writing (that sounds too simple doesn't it??).
#2 Do this form/tag thingy (it helps).
72. Describe your ending in three words. Umm... Since “Happily ever after” doesn't work (or do justice). How about... “Until they died”??
Sorry, the ending is classified.
73. Are there any love triangles, squares, hexagons, etc.?
Pffftt...honestly? Yes.
74. On a scale of 1-10 (1 being the least stressful, 10 being the most) how does your stress rank?
The only time I get stressed about writing this book is when I wish I could GET ON WITH IT. I don't know how to rank that feeling—stress just doesn't sound right. Besides, it's not like I'm on a deadline (I shudder at the thought).
75. Was it worth it?
Someday I guess I'll know.
Okay, so I did this whole big novel-thing. Originally it was a tag. But nobody tagged me. Hope you enjoy it.

57. Has your novel/story provided insight about your life?
You tell me.
58. Your personality?
Insight on my personality? I'd like it to. (After all, it is a book written by me)
59. Has your novel/story inspired anyone?
Umm...I hope not, because nobody—including me—has ever read the whole thing.
60. How many people have asked to read your novel/story?
You mean the one and a half rough chapters? None. But two have read it at my pleading.
61. Have you drawn any of your characters?
I think I might have tried at one point. If I did, I trashed it.
62. Has anyone drawn your characters for you?
If only.
63. Does anyone vomit in your novel/story?
Wow. That's awkward. Affirmitive.
64. Does anyone bleed in your novel/story?
* Laughs *
65. Do any of your characters watch TV?
Technoligy status conlifcts with that.
66. What size shoe does your main character wear?
Didn't think to ask him.
67. Do any of the characters in your novel/story use a computer?
Once again, Tech issues there.
68. How would you react if your novel/story was erased entirely?
I'd spend a day staring glumly out the window, wondering about the changes I'll make when I re-write it.
69. Did you cry at killing off any of your characters?
When I came up with the idea to have him die, I feel slightly sad, but proud of myself when I thought of the weeping of the readers when they would read it.
70. Did you cheer when killing off one of your characters?
That would be cool, but emotions don't come to me like that.
71. What advice would you give to a fellow writer?
#1, Give it a lot of thought before you start writing (that sounds too simple doesn't it??).
#2 Do this form/tag thingy (it helps).
72. Describe your ending in three words. Umm... Since “Happily ever after” doesn't work (or do justice). How about... “Until they died”??
Sorry, the ending is classified.
73. Are there any love triangles, squares, hexagons, etc.?
Pffftt...honestly? Yes.
74. On a scale of 1-10 (1 being the least stressful, 10 being the most) how does your stress rank?
The only time I get stressed about writing this book is when I wish I could GET ON WITH IT. I don't know how to rank that feeling—stress just doesn't sound right. Besides, it's not like I'm on a deadline (I shudder at the thought).
75. Was it worth it?
Someday I guess I'll know.

I congradulate you for finishing. Pat yourself on the back. Give yourself a high five. And then go and buy yourself a big bag of greesy french fries and EAT THEM ALL!!!
With a face-palm,
Plink.

If I Worked At Ellis Island...
I'm inwardly snickering.
Today a school assignment o' mine was to write at least ten questions that I would ask immigrants to 'keep America safe' if I were working at the immigrant center-thingy on Ellis Island.
*Pulls off an evil grin*
Boy, this oughta be fun...
*Clears throat*
And yes, I can already see you reaching for those gushy tomatoes (that make oh so wonderful missiles).
If your looking for me, I'll be hiding behind the couch with a funny look on my face.
