HI!

Hi people! I'm the new awesome girl! New to the whole blogging thing... Hopefully I can make my life sound more interesting than it really is :) It's getting late now and I don't plan on looking like a zombie tomorrow, so I'm just gonna show you this thing I stumbled upon on stumbleupon.com:

I think it's kinda funny. If you try any of them, let me know- I kinda doubt they actually work but who doesn't want to see ponies prancing in the clouds? Bye for now!

I'm VERY Disappointed.

I am very disappointed right now. I went to all of the trouble to engage people and learn more about them, and not ONE person responded to the challenge. Well, dear readers, you asked for it.

You will now be faced with a blog post of nothing but me talking at you. I may or may not use gibberish. You had your chance, and now you'll have to face the consequences.

I'm just kidding. I don't hate you guys. I was just so excited to start this cool new thing and no one did it. It was such a let down.

Anyways, I was asked by the lovely Crayola what made my day awesome. WELL, I got to go to PDQ and load up with junk food, just to spite my health class nutrition unit. Yes, I did. and now if anyone offers me candy I may fall over into a sugar/salt induced coma. It was worth it though.

I also went to see the choir concert, tonight, and it was loverly. However, I have one question. WHO THE HELL CELEBRATES KWANZAA? Seriously, to me it just seems like a made up holiday, so if you can help me out with that it would be great.

Before I go: I have a video I think that you guys should watch to make YOUR day awesome.

Much Love,

Mad Hattie

Hey :)

Mmph. It's Tuesday... Hurrah.
I am so tired right now, I am gonna make this insanely short and just say my week has been totally awesome. IT SNOWED!!!!! :D

Yesss.
So, using this to my advantage, I went out and kicked some boy friend (notice the space there) bum. I will probably rue the day some day, but.. Eh, no.

And since it's my obligation at the amazing sister that I so happen to be,
HaPpY FrEaKiNg BiRtHdAy, ElLa <3 I love you SO much. You're TEN! And you know what? ALL of the awesome girls signed your card. It's just so touching, isn't it?


Anyways, I am insanely tired. Bye.
Hey, Grace. how was your day awesome?

By the way, I'm still waiting on that challenge ;)

My Life Rocks....

Guess what? I'M GOING TO STARSHIP! For any readers who don't know what that is, allow me to explain. Team StarKid is an incredible theater company that performed A Very Potter Musical and A Very Potter Sequel (I hope you've figured out who they are by now from reading this blog) and Starship is their newest play. It is a science-fiction musical. So basically, it's going to be awesome.

I am also getting my braces off in two weeks! Woah! How sweet is that?

I have zero inspiration right now, which I'm sure you're tired of hearing. Umm... guess what? I wrote to Julia Albain and- wait! I'm gonna talk about who she is first!

Julia Albain is a StarKid (big surprise, huh?). She played Crabbe in AVPM and AVPS which was NOT  a very big role, so I don't know how she is at acting but I feel like she's probably really good because she did major in acting at UM Ann Arbor. The reason why I love her is because of her blog, which is amazing. She is such a good writer and she's a really inspiring person.

So, anyway, I wrote to her, to tell her that I loved her, basically. Because I feel like she's way too under appreciated. And she wrote a really sweet reply back which I received today, and it made me smile. I love things that make you genuinely smile. Like things that really, really mean a lot. I mean, her reply isn't necessarily that meaningful, but there are somethings that are. And sometimes you don't even smile but you're grinning like hell on the inside. And you know what really sucks? When you can't say thank you. That's kind of why I wrote to Julia. Because I can thank her. And I guess what's special about her response is just that she took the time to write this reply back even though any compliment doesn't mean much because I don't actually know her. But she did say "It really put a smile on my face" which I think is kind of the same feeling. I'm glad that I could give her that, because it feels really good.

Okay, that's a pretty reasonable post. Someday I'll write one that's actually focused on a topic and well written....

Bye bye,
Tally Ho

My Most Sincere Apologizes...

Sorry that this is scandalously an entire day late... I was reeeaaaaally tired yesterday and decided putting this off until later was a fabulous idea. Whereupon "later" arrived, I had forgotten I was supposed to write this. Yes, my memory is... not quite what it used to be *sniffles and pushes ancient bifocals up nose*. I read other peoples' posts and, now, there are prompts? I don't do so well with prompts... I think I might ignore them. That way no one will have to experience sever intestinal damage after reading too much of my writing.
I have no idea what to say... haha. It's ways too early for me to think/write coherently. All I can think of are chloroplasts. Oscillatoria, Gloeocapsa, mitochondria, granules, nucleus, Amoeba... And on and on and on. Thank you, Paul du Vair.
I have to leave in twenty minutes and I need to get ready... BUT I HAVE TO FINISH THIS!!!!
Cactus.
Mmkay.
The tallest cactus ever recorded was 19.2m. The smallest reaches only 1 cm, when fully matured.
I want to Arizona last spring. There were A LOT of cactus. I took a LOT of pictures of them.
I love photography... Except I have a really shitty camera, so not all of my ideas turn out very well. Here are some pictures I've taken (blurs are ABSOLUTELY INTENTIONAL and I know they might not look like much, but they MEAN something, to me at least):

Just a little late, world

Hey, I'm Just here, and there, and a little at both. I hear the slight scurrying of my rat in his cage, and I look over expecting to see the hyperactive hamster I've had for two years climb all over, being nicknamed Spider , but I'm met with an empty cage. But that's to be expected, I guess. It just shows me more that most things live and die in the same period as the other's do. No exception.

Anyways, music makes me happier, which I'm listening to now, but probably to people none of you have heard before. I can't see almost any of you (that' I've seen/hear/know) listening to half of the stuff I put on my MP3 player. And no, I don't have an iPod. I'm not that spoiled (haha).

Hmm.. I'm actually smiling today, even though I have some kind of stomach virus and I'm far from happy, but I find myself smiling. It's weird, because I'm usually masked with a serious mask that scares everyone off.


Well, I'm off,
(>^o^)> M.I. Crazy <(^o^<)

Hello World!!

So, recently I became the 10th follower of this blog. Wow. 10. It's a milestone you guys. *starts to sniffle*

Anyways, I realized that it isn't fair that Crayola has to be the only one who sets challenges for you guys. I write for this blog too! I should be setting you guys AWESOME challenges! so, from now on, in my blog posts, I will set you guys either a prompt, or a challenge, or a dare, etc. I will be expecting to see your responses in the comments!

CHALLENGE #1

Tell me an embarrassing/funny story from when you were a kid. I'll go first!

People with siblings know how to push their sisters/brothers buttons and get them REALLY pissed. I have had a special gift at doing just that since I was very young. When I was around 2 years of age, I went through the "mine" phase. Most everyone does at some point in their life, but I was strategic.

My favorite victim was my older sister, Anna. I would pick up something of hers and tell her it was mine, and she would burst into tears (I come from an emotional family). My parents got so sick of the waterworks that they devised a brilliant plan.

My parents took my sister aside and gave her an inspirational speech about how to deal with the trauma this caused. they explained to her that if I picked up a book or toy of hers and called it a cabbage, that (breaking news here) didn't mean it was actually a cabbage. They told her that the same was true when I picked up something of hers and said it was mine, and that the next time she should think to herself "it's a cabbage" so she knew that it wasn't really mine and wouldn't get upset.

Now, since making my sister cry was my favorite sport (at least for the purposes of this story), it wasn't long before I pulled the "mine" trick again. Now my sister, armed with new techniques to defeat me and my evil regime, didn't get upset and told me "it's a cabbage" to foil my plot.

Being a quite devious toddler, this did not throw me for a loop as she'd planned. I retorted, "It's MY cabbage, and brought my sister to tears.

Because I was just that cool.

Hugs and kisses,

Mad Hattie

P.S. Help me think of a better name for these challenges!!

P.P.S. I've been toying with the idea of creating a new blog as a sort of daily journal, I haven't written in so long, and it feels great to do it again. Your thoughts?
