Before Lunch Post

Hi, I just finshed most of my school and decided to post. I'm reading The Fellowship of The Ring right now so I'll probably post about that on Dragons Fly sometime (though I'm not sure when).
I think I'll see if I have any cool pictures to post on here...










...These are pretty cool huh? I got them off of Wikipedia a little while ago. They are pictures of beech trees, birch trees, blue bells, snowdrops, etc. The reasons that made me think of the idea of putting them into a 'my documents folder' on my computer were:
1. They look really cool.
2. I was looking for some good pictures to put as my desktop background.
and 3. I had to look up those plant for school - so that made me realize how I could get cool pictures.

Now, what else is there to talk about? Hmmmm...
(you may realize by now that I like to use ... a lot)
Well, I can't think of much else to write about that's at all interesting of even worth taking the time to type.

Oh yeah!! about my burn on my left hand from the sautering knife! The burn is fine and hasn't hurt since the night of the day I cut it (which was when I posted last).

Well that's it!

New Year, New Injurys

Okay, gotta admit, when I first thought I'd write this post, I didn't think that I'd title it like this. But hey, new things seem to happen around here pretty fast! For example, a new experience of trying my hand at burning intricate designs into wood with a sautering knife, or a burn-pen opens up new ways to put a very badly smarting blister on your middle finger (note to self: you may want to pay a little more attention on how you pick things up). Need I tell you any more details?
Actually, it wasn't that bad, I once had a blister a lot like this one when I touched a very, very hot light bulb about, hmmm, maybe 6 years ago... Anyway, I just wasn't paying enough attention, pick up the burn-pen, dropped it in a hurry, and walked over to the water spicket where the fire on the tip of my finger was promptly quenched. Afterward, it didn't hurt until I gradually started feeling this burning that kept getting worse... ...and worse. I have resolved that little problem by ice(thank-goodness for ice!). I must say, (and I don't mean to brag) that since that incident a couple hours ago, i have become quite skilled in the art of holding a wash-cloth full of ice in my left hand and type post on both my blogs with my right hand, at a very good (considering) speed.
Now, since I have finished typing about my first injury of today, I shall continue and explain the second one (which thankfully was not as painful and was much easier to deal with).
Disturbingly, this next incident of clumsiness actually happened while I was finishing up my post on Dragons Fly(99). Okay, so I just was harmlessly turning up the sound of the music that I was listening to while posting, by lifting my hand and turning the little Knob doo-dad on my speaker set. Unfortunately, my hand (the non-blister-on-finger-one) was not the only thing that descended down. You see, I HAD a glass jar in which I put some rocks of mine in and placed on my desk. I just so happened to knock it down and it of course fell, and cracked, and broke. while picking up the pieces, I took a look at the jar and, (yeah, I know, this was kinda dumb of me and a little clumsy) put mt finger on the edge of the cracked part to check on how.. ..hold on I gotta find more ice for my finger... owww ...okay, anyhow, I put my finger on the edge of the cracked part to check on how sharply it broke off. And of course, (you're probably either laughing or rolling your eyes) I just happened to cut my un-blistered hand right in between my index finger and thumb. And actually, that is a part on your hand that often doesn't stop bleeding in a hurry. So after I took care of the mess and vacuumed I got straight back to posting, which is what I'm doing now (and now with ice in one hand, and a band-aid on the other).
So what did you do for New-Years eve? We had some friends over, watched movies, (on our new, really big TV) actually made a movie, ate a lot of snacks, etc.
Well, gotta get ready for bed! Goodnight!

Happy 0'11,

Snow Experiance

Whoa!!! I actually, really did, SNOW at my house in Phoenix Arizona about four minutes ago for around a full 30 seconds!! I have never actually stood in falling snow! And to think, it's even sunny outside (although there are clouds and they are in the direction that the snow was falling from). It now reminds me of two things, one is that last night I had a dream that it snowed, (those dreams I had last night were really weird) and the other thing that it reminds me of is the part in the Voyage of The Dawn Treader when Lucy is reading the spell for snow out of the magician's book.
Oh yeah, I watched that at the Harkins by our house again yesterday nigh. Something about those books/movies really just sticks with me. I wonder if that's because in a way, they really are just symbols of things that are true. I often think that somewhere or someday I will see a place like Narnia. In The Last Battle (the 7th book of the series) CS Lewis creates a picture of heaven that, to me, would fit perfectly. Well, I suppose one day, I shall un-reveal that mystery!
But for now, I think I should keep my head on something more currant! For example, we just got our new TV we ordered off of Amazon.com!! Hipp, Hipp, Hooooray! I can't wait to start watching The Lord Of The Rings like me and my brother planed to do as soon as we got the TV and DVD player hooked up!

Untill later,
Let it snow!

Merry Late Christmas And Have a Happy New Year!

Wow! it's been a little while since I've written huh? latly I've been working on my critic of The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader on my other blog, but that's getting kinda old and I feel like I need a break of having to be so critical of every little aspect of what I can remember. Speaking of that, I think I will be seeing that movie again at around 4:30pm this evening! I'm pretty excited, and hopefully I will watch it with a little more enjoyment now that I have seen before and know what to expect.
So was your Christmas good? I went to Tucson again and had a great time. Some of my favorite things that I got as presents were some maps of Narnia and Middle Earth (from The Lord of The Rings). Hold on, Let me see if I can find some sort of map(s) that resemble them on Wikipedia...




...Okay cool, I just found these on Google Images, I now have these pictures/maps on rolls of papers, so I can look at them whenever I like! I also got a big gigantic wall poster of a picture of Aslan, its really, really cool!
So, what are you doing for New Years Eve? I'm not really sure what we are doing, but we might spend it putting up this new TV that we bought off of Amazon.com! I think it's a 46 inch but I'm not sure, it's somwhere around that range.

Well, I guess I'll see ya later!

PS: This is my 70th post!

Another report for school

Hello, today I will write you are report that I have to do for school. It shouldn't be a very long one, and hopfully you won't get to bord of it. (at least this one won't be like the report I thought that I had to do on the Hoover Vacumm Cleaner)
This report I'm doing will be about Comanche, a survivor of the Battle of the Little Big Horn. (which I think is a confusing name for a battle)
PS: This is not on the wii, I'm back on my computer again but I still have a little cold.

PSS: You may be wondering why I write my school reports on my blog. I figure it's easier to kill two birds with one stone.

PSSS: Oh, one more thing, all this info is coming from Wikipedia.

Comanche
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, 1868,

Mixed Mustang/Morgan 15 hand bay gelding had been bought by the U.S. Army. He had caught the eye of Captain Myles Keogh, who bought him for his own personal mount. Keogh only rode the horse into battle, and his bravery was displayed when fighting the Comanche indians in Kansas. While fighting, an arrow wounded the horse in the flank, but he endured it, and allowed his Keogh continue to ride on him throughout the battle. Afterward, the horse was named Comanche for playing more than what his part was in the fight.
On June 25, 1876, Captain Keogh and Comanche were led by Lt Col. George Armstrong Custer, in the Battle of the Little Bighorn.
That battle became well-known after the whole detachment was killed, but Comanche was discoverd two days after the battle, his wounds were said to be serious but not quite fatal if he was properly nursed. In a matter of time, Comanche healed, and though having many scars, he was in full health.
The horse was retired in April of 1878, and was taken to numorus Forts and kept under great care.
As one of only two horses in the United States hisory to be buried with full military honors, Comanche died in 1890. But he is still acknowledged everywhere, and as proof of that, there have been songs written in his honor, as well as the fact that he is now in a case, preserved, and on display for any to see the brave war-horse that he was.



Catch ya later!

December Dissapointments

Wow! whadaya know? it's December already! and by the way, I'm writing this 100% on the wii!
So today I've been being annoyed by an EXTREMELY ANNOYING stuffed-up nose. See, last Saturday I woke up not feeling good at all. By the end of that day, I was all most all the way better, with the exception of a scratchy throat. Since then I've been recovering and having to blow my nose a lot. Unfortunately, today of all days I started feeling not as good as yesterday. My nose is often impossible to breath with (but right now its not that bad) and being a big fan of being able to breath through my nose, that has made things most annoyingish. And so with that happy news it's probably obvious to you that I shouldn't really go anywhere or do much since I'm not feeling as great as I could be feeling at the moment, which means that I'm not at youth-group right now. But actually, it's not so bad since I'm getting a chance to write on my blog on the wii.
So have you been checking out my other blog? I've been posting a lot of stuff on it. Be sure to check it out at Dragsfly99.Blogspot.com

Bye, ad I hob you hab a gud firdst week of December! (ad nod odly firdst week, budt a gud redst or da year!)

I'mmmmm Hoooooommme

I'm back! Yahoo! I'm here at my desk, on my own computer, listening to 'Many Meetings - by Howard Shore' on another window of Internet Explorer here at home!
I obviously like to home huh?
So how did your Thanksgiving go? Mine was... uh okay I guess. Like I said, I don't usually exactly like to be away from home unless it's to Tucson or California which I think of as my second home. I did like seeing our friends from Texas on the way back from Oklahoma, and I did like our pit-stop to Tucson to eat even MORE Thanksgiving stuff that was mostly made by the wonderfully-experienced-in-raisin-pie-making, talented cook Grammy ...Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
So anything you have to say? anything, anything?!
Well I'm gonna go write a post on Dragons Fly, be sure to check it out! Have a good time eating Thanksgiving left-overs!
