(G stands for Grandma. GH is my little brother. T is my mother and A would be me. I'm so glad I had a pen and notebook handy when these two were going at it. They made us all laugh)

When taking a Grandmother to Disney remember, it’s the simple things in life they enjoy the most.  You can drag them around the park and make them ride rides allll day but their favorite activity isn’t thrill rides or shows, its simply staring out a window and watching people at the pool!

 

One night after a long day at a Disney park, one Grandmother and her youngest Grandson sat side by side at their hotel window and gazed at their fellow Disney Resort Guests below.  But watching wasn’t enough and soon they began to share their opinions and inputs about the people they saw.  Below you will find an exact record of what those opinions were.  And if for some reason you happened to be at the Art of Animation Disney Resort swimming in the pool around 9-10 at night on this particular day in June and you think perhaps these comments are about you…I apologize.

 

 

 

GH: wow look at that ugly kid!

G: How can you tell from here?

GH: I have really good eyes

G: Wow look at that one!  She’s big!  I should go stand next to her, she would make me look pretty good!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

GH: Every time she takes a picture of something her finger is up
G: Yeah I was wondering if it was heading for her nose....

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GH: Look now she’s yelling at those kids

G: If I were them I’d get out just to make her move.

GH: Now she’s yelling at those girls

G: I don’t think that woman’s even a lifeguard

G: That woman just told her kid to wave at me!

GH: Where?

G: There! Look!  The kid is like, “who the heck is that?”

GH: Where did the chunky lady go?

G: Is that her over there?

GH: Where?

So I've been waiting and wainting and waiting for IGNITE ME to come out. IT CAME OUT!  But now I"m waiting and waiting and waiting for my library to send the book to me!! I would go out and buy it, only it's released in HARDCOVER only!!! I have to wait a year for the paperback.  YOu ask, why can't you just get hardcover?  I answer, BECAUSE I HAVE SHATTER ME AND UNRAVEL ME IN PAPERBACK! YOU WANT ME TO HAVE A COLLECTION OF BOOKS IN A SERIES ALL OUT OF WACK?  There must be harmony on the bookshelf people! HARMONY!!  So I sit....I wait....I sob....because Ignite Me is the end of the Shatter Me trilogy and I just....I just....I can't explain my love for these books!  Tahera Mafi is the most amazing author I've ever read and since I read like 360 books a year THAT IS SAYING A LOT!!!  


Plus, I've had UNHINGED on order from the library for a month and still nothing.....I MUST find out how Splintered continued!  I must find out what happens when Morpheus comes back for Alyssia and tried to bring her back to WONDERLAND!  I must!!!  Library, please, sendeth thou me thy books, for I much desire to devour them!  I am hungry for their stories!! *sob*

I have just been informed that...*closes eyes and gulps in terror*....I'm sorry I just...I just need a moment.  *deep breath*.....*opens eyes and clasps hands together tightly*  There is no way to escape this....there is no way to fight this.....no matter what we do we are all doomed.  We can't hide from this nor can we avoid this. It has been a long time coming, and I'm sure you'll agree that we humans deserve this fate.  We've made too many mistakes, been too careless, to proud of ourselves as a race...I wish we could somehow  make up for all our crimes, but it is too late for that.  I advise you to spend what little time of peace you have left with your family because....*shudders*...they are coming for us. In the end, none of us will be able to avoid this terrible curse.

 

THE SPACE DUCKS ARE ON THEIR WAY AND ONCE THEY ARE HERE THEY WILL TAKE ALL OF OUR BUBBLE GUM, ALL OF EARTH'S BUBBLE GUM, AND WE WILL HAVE NONE LEFT FOR OURSELVES, AND NEVER AGAIN WILL WE BE ABLE TO MAKE IT. THEY WILL TAKE THE KNOWLEDGE OF BUBBLE GUM MAKING FROM US, BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN CARELESS WITH IT. WE HAVEN'T APPRECIATED IT AS WE SHOULD. YOU CAN'T HIDE YOUR GUM. YOU CAN'T SAVE YOUR GUM. WE ARE GOING TO BE GUMLESS FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY AND WE HAVE NO ONE TO BLAME BUT OURSELVES! FEAR! FEAR THE SPACE DUCKS!

I AM WAGING WAR ON DIET SODA!  MUAHAHA!  Diet is a dirty, dirty word and we shall not use it in the same sentence with sweet, pure, wonderful soda!  *cries*  It just isn't humane!  Stop abusing the soda!  Soda is SUPPOSED to be sugary and fattening.  Why would you ruin a good thing with DIET?  How could you!  How could anyone be so cruel!  If people don't want to deal with the calories or whatever then DON'T DRINKS SODA.  But please, please, please FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS GOOD IN THE WORLD DON'T MAKE DIET!   *falls over sobbing*

*ahem*  Now that we've got that off our chest, we can move on, no?  You may (or may not) have noticed  the flurry of artwork streaming in.  This is because I am working on my entries for the State Fair!  I will be entering 12 different things, and I"ve only completed 4 and 1/2 so...I'll be busy busy busy!  Also, since I forgot to mention, I WON the Juinor Duck Stamp Contest this year for my state, and I also won a Bus art contest.  They are going to be putting my poster ON A BUS! So, like, ya me!  *dances around the room*

Also, read Partials.  Seriously.  That book is like...*thinks*....its...there is no word good enough to describe it.  Partials!  Read it!  I'm serious!  And Also Splintered by A. C. Howard.  That is a GOOD book.  Well, there are a lot of good books I know.  I'm always emailing people a list of books they HAVE to read.

Speaking of reading, do you know how slow most people read?  Okay, I've mentioned my reading competition with my friends before.  Most of them only read 5 books a month, if not less, and I'm up to 33 a month!  Either I'm weird or they are....right now I'm leaning towards the second option.... because how can you only read FIVE books for an entire MONTH?!?!?

Hullo!  I figured I'd give an update of all things greenstables-ish.  Um, first off as you may have noticed I'm trying out new things which includes but it not limited to sculpting things from clay.  So far I think it is going well, except I made an awesome PHANTOM OF THE OPERA charm bracelet, all the charms made out of clay, and it broke the first day I wore it.  I had a rose, a Don Juan book, a mask, an angel wing, and one of the notes from the movie. I went out and bought a chain and little rings to attach the charms to the chain.  I carefully sculpted, painted, and attached each charm and it looked SO cute.  The rose charm broke when I took my arm out of a jacket, the Don Juan fell off who-knows-where, the angel wing and mask were both cracked while I was wrestling my dog down so her nails could be cut (btw, she rammed her harness into my lip and the plastic clip busted it, so now anytime I eat an orange or drink drinks with carbonation it is pain city), and the note didn't break at all.  I removed the wing and mask because they were barely clinging to 'life', and then I tried to break the note off cause one charm on a charm bracelet is stupid, but that puppy wouldn't break for the world, so it is still dangling there.  Lonely...sad...alone..... (< this smiley face is called Lonely!  How perfect is that?)



In other news my friends and I started a reading competition this year to see who could read the most books in one year's time.  In January I read 33 books in 30 days.  This month I'm behind by 2 days.  I blame staying up late watching episodes of Monk, but when my big bro asks if I want to watch things with him, I can't say no.  He's like a puppy, all cute and pathetic, in a 'macho' older brother sort of way...  So I'm a bit behind on my reaing.  I was 3 days behind, then I crammed down 2 books in one day, so I was only 2 days behind, but then I missed a day because I was tired and went to bed early thanks to staying up late to cram down 2 books, so I was once again 3 days behind but last night I managed to read 2 books so I'm once again 2 days behind.  But this next book I'm reading, The DArkest Minds, is a bit of a long one, so I'm worried I will fall back to 3 days behind again.  (by behind I mean that at the end of the month I'd like to have read at least as many books as there are days in this month)

I've been obsessively collecting music on my ipod lately.  (My ipod is named Eponine after the Les Mis character, because my ipod is a nano so it is all small and cute, yet I feel sorry for it because again it is small and short people get teased by normal people, so why wouldn't a nano get teased by a regular ipod?  And I feel sorry for Eponine because Marius rejects her, so it only seemed wise to name my nano after her.  Plus I LOVE the name, and it is kind of a cute name, and my nano is very very cute! )  So I've been playing and replaying Josh Gorban's Broken Vow, and Ramin's 'Cathedrials' "Eyes of a Child"  "Everything I Do (I do for you)" "Bring Him Home" Ect.  I LOVE music!  LOVE IT!  Thank God for Eponine! (the ipod, not the fictional character....though I do love her too)

Also something important to note.  My selected mood for the journal is a blue bouncy dude and the emotion is classified as 'Euphoric'.  But I'm not 'Euphoric'.  That is just the closest I could find to HYPER.  Cause he's grinning and bouncing around, and that is what I've been doing lately.  I get these weird 'sugar rushes' of hyperness that lasts for DAYS, then I'm normal for a while, then the hyper comes back.  Currently I'm hyper again which would explain my rambling journal about naming ipods and all that other weird stuff.  So if you are reading this and raising your eyebrows and how mental it all sounds, keep in mind this is how I am when i'm hyper.  50% of the time I'm more normalish.  NOTE: I'M NEVER NORMAL!! Just more so than now.  Because naming my ipod wasn't something I did when I was hyper, it is just that going on and on about it is a hyper thing.

I also named my wish list on my nook.  I call it TAMMY.  Not for any specific reason.  TAMMY just sounds official, like a secretary or soemthing, and my wish list is a life line.  It is how I keep track of what books to order from the llibrary.

I also admit to having named my little brother's feet.....the right one is Bob, and the left is Susana.  I considered dating Bob, but Susana wouldn't let me...she keeps kicking me....(again, naming his feet WASN'T a hyper decision...I was tired at the time...and plyaing Battle Front with him...sitting below his bed with his feet inches from my face.  I had a conversation with his feet instead of him because he was above me and I couldn't really see him, whereas I saw his feet very clearly, so that is sort of why I named them...)

Okay, I'm posting this because if Id ont' I'll just keep rambling about useless things that will make you think I need to be sent to an asylum or something.....eeeeeeeeeeepppp!  *bouncy bouncy bouncy*
