Woot!

The Banana Republics is finally in the water. It took a loooooong time but she's finally floating in the lake. we went sailing yesterday and there are 2 pretty exciting stories to go with that one day of sailing. But a special thanks goes out to Leanne. she's discovered the dirt and mold on my boat is her pet peeve so she did a lot of work and scrubbed a couple parts of the boat clean. we've decided that i'm going to have a party on the boat sometime in july but i have to figure out when everything's good to go. (including the boat which needs much maintenance.)you should all thank leanne for deciding she's gonna clean the boat. and you should thank me for helping (well, doing actually) put the boat in the water. so watch your phones and give me your numbers so i know for sure. i'll call if we're going sailing. have a fun week y'all!

Vacation xD

I'm leaving tomarrow morning to Utah sometime before 9:00am. I have NO braces now, but I have to wear a retainer at night. We'll be gone until maybe the 12th of July. Yes, it will be that long. THREE DAYS IN THE CAR ON THE WAY THERE, THEN THREE MORE DAYS ON THE WAY BACK. I've forgotten how boring it is. I will bring lots and lots of books and Dvd's

Chigo

i went to chigo (chicago) this weekend. we got lost, expirenced road rage, went to the Shedd Aquarium, went swimming in lake Michigan, got hypothermia, got lost again, cheaked into the hotel, walked 20 blocks, threw napkins at the people sitting near us in the resteraunt, walked 20 more blocks, ate some icecream, and fell asleep. all in the first day. today we went to the Brooksfield Zoo, got lost, and in the car ride home made signs like "Honk to save the polar bears" and " please, Honk! ...please?" no one honked. i saw an okapi, and a giraffe. im so tired and my legs are so sore, but in a good way.

Sailing...again, and again, and...well you get it.

I know i've said this before but we're putting the boat in tomorrow. we might put it in today but it's definatly going in tomorrow. i need to know who can crew and i'll see how many people i can bring. it might be up to 3 or 4 ;] But i'll tell more when i know more.

PARTY

Yesh today was loads of fun. We went to knight's action park from 10:00am-3:00pm. I went on the Devil Ray, and of course, I screamed. Jared laughed. . . He works there so he took time off and my cousins and I went with him. Loads of fun, except a little sunburn and bugbites.

The Civil War....again

Ready the guns! it's time to go to the civil war. i'll be fighting in the civil war this satruday in teh community park in jacksonville. it's pretty easy to find. you can show up about 9 on saturday and there's plenty of stuff to do related to the civil war. The battle starts at 3 so anyone who wants to see the civil war, particularly the first texas artillery. ;] so if you're free saturday, something to do pretty close to home.

Civil War

Passing a message through to Anna ^^ Dave says the Civil War stuff starts at 9:00 on saturday and the battle is at 10:00

wooooow.

i am thoroughly amazed. i looked at the thing on the side, and i'm like the only one who DIDN'T post this week. pretty amazing. and i'd also like to welcome dalton to the blog. in case you didn't know (what rock were you sleeping under) he is DACATSINTHEBAG. so now we'll have even more posts on here. have a happy summer y'all!

DIE U OCTAIDER

kewl it actually worked. but anyway... i hope the death of a thousand spiders comes upon the infedel of a spider under your bed.!.

loooooooolz

Spider!!!

Okay, there is a spider somewhere under my bed and it won't come out. This morning I saw it, but I didn't get a chance to kill it because my feet were bare xD
On another note, I won't be here July 1st through the next couple weeks after that. Utah again. and I won't be here next weekend because we're going to see some play in Branson I think.

I'm Still Alive!

I know, I haven't been posting blogs as regulary as I usually do. . . But I'm sure nobody minds. After all, my blogs are pointless and stupid, but I like them that way!!! So anywhooo. . .I made dinner tonight. Asparagus [eew], rice, hot dogs [HA], and scrambled egss. It was weird. On the bright side, I get paid to help my mom since she has to wear a 'boot' since something's wrong with her ankle. She said she accidentally stepped into the skimmer basket O.O. that would huuuuurt! But anywho, again, I get paid to do this stuff, and I enjoy feeling like I have money. Sooo. Although money and I have a very poor relationship, because he/she never sticks around long enough for us to get to know one another! But I haven't spent any money lately, cuz I was waiting until the stupid webstore I liked restocked. BUT, [giggle] when they DID restock, they sold out in like. . .half an hour. SO. Now I have 55 dollars sitting around, and another 50 dollars in Hot Topic giftcards sitting around too! Because I haven't been to the mall or out of town lately. Pff. Speaking of out of town, my cousins and Aunt from England are coming to stay with us for a bit in October. I'm actually happy to see my two obnoxious cousins! I miss British people lots :[ Yes, I am a HUGGGEEE fan of Europe, especially England. So. I'll be seeing them, yay, and they're lovely accents. And then I will demand that they stuff me in a suitcase and take me back to England with them. My Dad and sister get to go to France AND England. I only got to go to England and Wales x[ I wanna go to France. . .Oh well. I went on a cruise with my mom to Baja California Sul, so I guess we're even. So. Hey, ever notice that I always seperate my topics with 'so' or 'anywho'? I think it's just a bit weird. Any- DANGIT! Well, I just rambled fer a bit. I'm quite satisfied. I just felt a bit guilty about not posting, cuz I know you all love it when I do ;] . . . . . Okay, I was joking. I can be a bit faux-vain sometimes. Hehe.

Alright, till another time, my pretties ;]

Tired and Sunburned xDD

Well, my cousins from Utah are finally here. We picked them up last night, and didn't get to sleep until one or so. We all went swimming at our grandparents noon until four thirty-ish. Most of us got fried cuz we didn't put on sunblock (forgot) xD not fun at all.

nocturnal

its around 1ish and im more awake than i am at school most of the time. i am officially nocturnal, except at night im confined to my room so theres not much point in being nocturnal. i cant sleep, ive been eaten alive by mesquietos (metric spelling of mesquetos), and im being forced to wear headgear that limits my neck movement to the point that im going insane. im gonna go crazy i tell ya! laura says i have to get off the computer now so i hope you night is better than mine.

my upcoming disaster continued

This is becomeing too hard for me, a person who has never been good at planning. so, this is what ive decided to do, if it doesnt work, then sorry cause im all out of ideas. the party will be friday the 20 from 5:30 to 9 and if you want to spend the night, then pickup is at 10ish. its still at my house, the same people are invited, and i still want bubble wrap. RSVP at 726-6782. this can only get better... i hope.

WOOOO!

Edwin reporting for duty -giggle- I said duty. . .

anywho, just posting to tell you that Agatha and I HAVE INDEED made a debate [wow]. It's posted here. Read if you want, we don't really care. We only do it to get things off our minds :D. So read or don't, cuz we're just rambling basically. . .

G'BYE!!!

Duct Tape Sword

Well, I attempted to make a sword out of duct tape. It's actually pretty cool, and could leave a bruise or two o_0 It took up about one and a half rolls of duct tape. I might make another for the co-captain if I have enough left.

FINALLY!!!

All you pirates will be glad to know, the namesake of this blog, our pirate ship, the small yellow boat, is finally going in the water!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know when but it's finally ready to go in. we have the state license finally so the plan would be, find a windy day, set the boat in the water off the trailer, get the gear in the appropriate places, put on the rudder and trolling motor, motor the boat to hal's dock, maybe take the mast down and do an inspection it we're feeling we have time, take the gear out, clean the boat at least a little, get the gear back in, stow all the gear, get the sails out, make sure we have 4 good sails and everything's in it's spot, then hop on, head into the bay, hoist sail, and haul over to the bridge, where we'd get the lake license, head back to the club, and put a whole bunch of stickers on all or our boats. and all this COULD (i.e., probably won't but there's a super slight chance) happen tomorrow. so man your telephones and i'll call if i want help. cause i'll need it when we do put this in. so everybody, email with your family plans for fathers day and tell me if you can anytime soon! it's pirating time!

my upcoming disaster

guess what? im turning 13, and im clueless when it comes to my party. we have the day and the general time, but everything else is kinda fuzzy. im makeing this suff up as i go along, so bear with me: its on Saterday June 22 from 4 pm to 9pm and if your a girl and want to spend the nite, then 8am. its a pool party, so its at my house, 604 old tippicanoe harisson park. every one who writes on the blog is invited. and if its possible, i want bubble wrap for my birthday. this is gonna be a disaster, so brace yourselves.

T'Ain't a car....

I found my car! well not so much. more my VEHICLE. it's small, red, and has 2 wheels ;]
I love it.
This is the one that isn't the truck by the way. i'm still gonna get an old ford pickup truck. but my nice Suzuki motorcycle is only $8000. and to make it better, it's a touring bike. that means comfortable for 2 people, not hard for 1. sounds like fun!

Thursday

Yeah My house most likely. You'll have to come later in the day probably. I'll call you later tonight

ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYY

Hey Ally- I believe the correct name is She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Annnd, I went with She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named to go see Kung Fu Panda yesterdaaaaay. It was funneh. But two weeks or so ago [LOL], I went to go see The Strangers, and it scared meh pants oof! If you're looking to hide behind your hands and plug your ears, that's the movie fer you!
BTW -- Thursday, yer house, mmk?

Wisconsin Dells (and Lake Delton)

Remember how I've promised all of you you will come to Wisconsin Dells with me some time? Well you'll be interested to learn (or maybe you already know) the beautiful Lake Delton, overlooked by my grandparents condo, had emptied itself into the Wisconsin River. The lake sat RIGHT behind (and 4 stories below) their condo. the building even had an infinity pool that made it look like the pool was connected with the lake. now, where there was a beautiful lake, there's a big mud puddle. fun right? we were even gonna bring the Banana Republics, or the sunfish up next time we went up in the summer. well that plan's off until the lake refills. if you wanna know what happened, go to Google news and search lake delton. i'm just to lazy to do that for you now.

Hmmm

Well, I possibly might not be on as much because my cousins are coming sunday. I already told Leanne about the movie David. Question is when to tell some other certain person whom shall not be named

New, new writers

well i sure know i had a great time yesterday! it seems like we all had a great time! Ally still has to tell Leanne....And by the way guys, Dalton has been invited to the blog because, technically, he is part of the crew. besides, he's not bad, he's just impulsive. very impulsive.

Used Curmudgeon...

Anyone local looking for a cheap, used, good condition, well maintained sailboat? The Curmudgeon is still for sale and we can't put the Tabasco in the water until the Curmudgeon is sold. i'd like to keep the boat local cause it's an awesome boat and it's pretty cool. not to worry if you want it and you're local. if you can put it in Lake Springfield, I'll teach you how to sail. but like i said, we can't get the Tabasco in the water until the curmudgeon is sold. so y'all out there with parents that wanna spoil there kids in a new way, make them buy this boat. i'll even help fix things on it. but please just by the boat. only $2,500 and that's 22 foot boat, sails, and outboard. probably worth at least $5,000. but we need it out of the way.

more travels....

Good Morning! or not. well I'm home again. I went to Bloomington for the parrothead party, Live at the Lake. it wasn't really at a lake....but it was fun anyway. also, i would NOT suggest the Clarion hotel inf Bloomington. probably the worst hotel I've been to yet.
but on a different subject, I've started a travel journal. but this one is different. it's on my computer so i can't loose it. I've been making entries from where i travel but since I've had it for one day, it's not to big yet. but i might post entries on here too so keep your eyes open. i've gotta go but i'll talk at y'all later.

Worst Day Ever

Today sucked. First our yard is practically flooded from the rain, and our canopy thing on our patio is broken. Then we found out we might have to get rid of our old prelude car because there's tons of problems with it, and it's an '88. Things pretty much went downhill from there

Mr. Wriggles

I have a new friend/enemy. His name is Mr. Wriggles. Mr. Wriggles and I have a very odd relationship. You see, Mr. Wriggles is a small, black spider. I have superior reason to believe that Mr. Wriggles will not die. For you see, I have seen Mr. Wriggles four times. I have squished him twice. And yet, Mr. Wriggles continues to return to my line of vision every day. An odd relationship indeed. Mr. Wriggles even travels with me. Today as my mother and I left our house, I saw Mr. Wriggles perched on the bottom right corner of the windshield. And Mr. Wriggles stayed there, before I tapped the glass and he retreated to the inner depths of my mother's automobile. Since then, I have failed to see Mr. Wriggles. But I have no doubt in my mind that he will not cease to visit me again. As a matter of fact, I do believe I have seen two of Mr. Wriggles' cousins today. One just a matter of minutes ago, the other early today around 1.30.

The one I just experienced I shall call Ralph Jr. Ralph Jr was an extremely small, tan spider. Ralph Jr decided to dangle himself right in front of my face as I instant messaged David. At this I let out an 'eep' and typed 'OMGG' into the text box. I then swiftly grabbed a spare sheet of paper, folded it around Ralph Jr, and disposed of him in the garbage bin. Such a short, short life for Ralph Jr.

The other black spider, whom I shall call Big O, was caught in the skimmer basket of my pool earlier today. Ooh, Big O, how you scared me. With a body the size of a peanut shell and legs as furry as my uncles, how could one not be scared? And of course I didn't want to reach my hand in there, for I knew Big O was still alive, even underwater, for I had had a similar experience just a few days ago. But that story shall be saved for a little longer. I forced my mother to empty the skimmer basket, for I would not even travel within a five foot radius of Big O, as childish as that sounds. But if you would have seen the size of Big O, I doubt you'd be very eager to rush up to him and share a chit chat either. But alas, my mother did not kill him. Big O is out there, waiting for the right moment to strike again.

Ah, yes; the other story. A couple of days ago, I emptied the skimmer basket for my Mother. And of course, there was another particularly large spider. But this one was a sandy colour, and not nearly as fat as Big O. And I suppose if I had to name him, I would name his Smittion. I grabbed that skimmer basket [wearing my mother's pink rubber gloves, of course] and pulled it out. Luckily, Smittion was moving slowly. I dumped the basket on the ground and waited for Smittion to come out, a chunk of wood at the ready in my hand. There was no way in high heaven that I would crush such a giant spider such as himself with my flip-flop wearing foot. To know that one inch below my foot, Smittion's guts and now lifeless limbs were being pulverized and smashed? That would be a nightmare. No of course, once Smittion came out, I dropped the piece of wood, and boom. Bye bye Smittion. Of course I felt a little bad. No one likes to kill things. But I was being naive, and shouted, "What?! WHAT?!?!" at the dead corpse of Smittion. I was feeling powerful that I had slayn such a gruseome Beast. Well, Beastling. If I had killed a tarantula, ohh, that would be a Beast. If I had done that, I would have promptly wrapped myself in tin foil and galloped around on a broom with a plastic sword. All the while chanting, "I have slayn the dragon! 'Tis a safe world once more!" But of course, everyone knows that the world will never be completely safe.

Did you know that in a regular situation, one is never more than three yards from a spider?

Yes, I was scared too. Ah, but Mr. Wriggles, the thought of you will never die. You small, spider. Only the size of a small peanut, and with a midnight blackness and two white spots on your tiny little head. Your appearance would remind one of a black fluff ball, you were so small and bunched-up. You always took things on that were far larger than yourself. You would raise those two front legs of yours and refuse to let your opponent get behind you. Your opponent in this case, a stick. a stick that was thich enough to fit three of you in the end. But you took it on, Mr. Wriggles. And you get props for that, my friend and best enemy. The next time I kill you, Mr. Wriggles, I shall say, "Mr. Wriggles, I'm afraid I must kill you again."


Ooh, look. There he is.

Excuse me.

Mr. Wriggles, I'm afraid I must kill you again.
