Book review: The Dangerous Days of Daniel X, By James Paterson, rated PG-13

Daniel X Is the best super hero ever. Why? Because he can make things. With his mind. Daniel is an alien who hunts other aliens for a living. Evil Aliens. His parents were alien hunters until they were murdered when Daniel was three. Now Daniel is counting down the top bad guys, excuse me, aliens, Till he gets to the number one evil alien of all, and he just happens to be the one who killed Daniels parents. But for now, he's at number six. Number six wants to steal what's on the earth, and kill every one on it too. Daniel has to stop him, even though Number six has the same powers as Daniel, and he can use them better than Daniel can. What could go wrong?

Cat puke and Sherlock Holmes.

 Ok that may sound gross, and part of it is. This morning I got up and ate breakfast. I looked into the living room and there was Mia, throwing up all over the floor. You may want to know what this has to do with Sherlock Holmes. Well just after I cleaned up Mia's mess, I got dressed and went to see Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. It was really good. Not as freaky as the first one, but still pretty suspenseful. And the best part of the movie, wasn't even in the movie. The best part was that... I SAW THE HUNGER GAMES TRAILER AND THE KATNISS POSTER!!!!! I was so excited!! When it came on Mama elbowed me but I already recognized it. You know your obsessed when you get super excited about a trailer and a poster and you've seen the trailer about two million times.(ok, more like five)  :D I was so happy. Not that Sherlock Holmes wasn't good. It's just, I have been wanting to see The Hunger Games movie since I first heard they were making a movie, and the trailer was the closest I can get before it comes out in March. (SO excited!!) The cat being sick really doesn't have any thing to do with this. Oh well. Morgan is yelling at me to stop writing and do my chore, so gotta go, Bye Bri π

Why my mom doesn't understand me.

 My mom thinks I'm weird because I don't want to ride a skate bored, but I want to go hang gliding. Is this considered weird? The reason for this is that, with a hang glider I am holding on to something, thus it is safe, with a skate board, I am not holding on to something, thus it is unsafe. (My logic is flawed, I know, deal with it) I don't know, thats just how I think. That is why riding a bike or a scooter is safe, but not a skate board or a unicycle. I am actually afraid of my skate  board on a flat surface, while I am not afraid of jumping of a cliff with a hang glider. I don't know why. I just am. I guess it's that I feel in control if I am holding it more so than if I'm controlling it with my feet. Does that make sense?  I guess it only make sense to me.

My very interesting Christmas.

 Ok so my Christmas started at 6:00. I got up and went out to the living room, were my sister's were playing with there Santa stuff. I looked through my Santa stuff. I found these bouncy balls that light up when you bounce them. I went and bounced them on the floor. Unfortunately it was really loud. It made a loud BANG song. Well three loud BANG noises. This woke up my parents who did not want to be woken up. They woke up and we all hade breakfast. Then we Opened our presents. I got a new shirt, some fancy socks, a cute scarf, some little animal figurines, a new stuffed animal, and then my last present... was a piece of paper. But on the piece of paper said, ask daddy to show you his phone, we love you!! I asked daddy to show me the phone and he showed me a picture of Nana with a loft bed. Wait a sec, a LOFT BED?!?! I LOVE LOFT BEDS!! It is MY loft bed, and my Papa made it for me! It's not done yet but it will be later. I am so excited, I have wanted a loft bed for ever!! I even got to pick out the finish stuff. It's Red Oak. I am so excited. Oh wait, I already said that. But it's true!

Felices Ferias!

Happy holidays in Latin! Today I made cookies with my mom and sisters. We made mint chocolate chip and butter scotch chocolate chip cookies. I haven't had any yet but I bet they'll taste really good. Then i had Philly cheese steak hot pockets for lunch. and it tasted really good. Although now my tongue is a little burned. But it was worth it. Mia And Talus tried to steal my Hot pocket. Mia was licking cookie dough of the floor. It was funny. Tomorrow is Christmas! It's practically here! I, however, am not plotting to sneak into a village and steal everything Christmas-y. Nor am I going to tie horns on my dogs heads. I am planning to wake up early, play with my stuff in my Stocking, then after my parents wake up, we'll open up our other presents. Later we're gonna go to our Grandparents house an d do stuff there. Thats all for now, By Bri π

Couldn't we just deck the punching bag?

I have friends named the Halls. I really don't want to punch them. What does punching people named Halls have to do with Christmas exactly? So this year instead of singing about decking my best friends, lets just sing about decking the punching back. It's the martial arts version. here are the lyrics: Deck the punching bag with Holly! fa la la la la la la! Tis' the season to be Jolly! Fa la la la la la la la la! Dawn we now our happy clothing! Fa la la la la la la! Troll the ancient yule tide calling Fa la la la la la la la la!! See, isn't that so much better? I admit they need some work, but I think there pretty good.

Oh, Let me explain what I am doing right as I do it!

So recently I've been reading the Uncanny X-men like the first ones and such and I've noticed some things that I find funny. First of, why do the X-men need to explain what they are doing as there doing it? wouldn't it just be quicker to get it over with then talk? Like, cyclops is all like "Oh I am going to shoot you with my laser beam! Let me open my visor to shoot you with my laser beam! I have opened my visor and am shooting you with my laser beam!" he didn't say that exactly, but it's pretty close to what he said. Second thing, in the first two uncanny X-men Cyclops's name is Slim but then it randomly changes to Scott in the third one. Did anyone but me notice this? Why did they change his name with no explanation? I'm not being mean I just think it's kind of funny.

Happy winter solstice, now prepare for the last year of earth.

 Every one knows in one year the world will end. So fun. Aperantly the Mayans are going to send there evil gods after us. Lovely. I wonder what this "Mayan god" is going to do with us?  You know the problem with this? well God said specifically that nobody will know when the end will come. So it won't come next year on my uncles birthday. So take that you Mayans! And your silly gods! Why would the Mayans gods squish us? I don't know.

Do you speak English?

Ok So today me and my sissters were messing Round and JJ said something in gibberish. Morgan waanted to know what she wAs sainc and we Said she was speaking a different language. Maybe it was Latin maybe it was ittalion maybe it was French mane it wasnenglish. I know what you are saying why would the gibberish be English? Well that's what morgan thought and she said that's not English. And I said how do you know do you speak English?
Them we all started laughing. It Was pretty funny.

So today the cousins Came over to get pictures Blake came up stairs while I was reading a comic book on my computer. He was wearing a tee shirt that said Spider
Man and I said "look spider man" and he came Over and looked at
My comic book and said "no, that's Iron Man." Yeah I know short post lots off mistakes. I am typing on my iPod and it is really heard to push the right buttons I need to go because my iPod is almSt dead abs I need to go to bed. I'll do. It tomorrow bye bri!

Papa is in the house! (different Papa)

My Papa Lee is here at my house. See, not Papa Johns. Papa Lee. We had Christmas today. Well this evening. Now we are listening to me sing at church. Me and my sisters that is. I had a cold that night so I was a little off. oh well. I am reading Virals by Kathy Reiches.  It's about Temperance Brennan niece, Tory Brennan. It's a pretty good book. I'll Review it in a bit. Let me finish the book again. I'll have it Tuesday evening at the latest. tomorrow at the best. let me think what to say, what to say. Umm....

Book review: The Angel Experiment, by James Patterson, Rated: PG-13

 Max doesn't exist, well she doesn't according to the government. She doesn't have parent's. She isn't even human. Not entirely at least. Max is not alone. She is part of the Flock, a group of mutant kids- Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, The Gasman, and Angel. Oh, and did I mention, they have wings? They are a human bird hybrid, Made in a secret lab called the School. After years of being experimented on, They fly the coop, Literally. With the help of one of the scientists named Jeb, they escape and hide from the scientists and the Erasers, Mutants who are half human, half wolf. Jeb has dissapeared and the Flock is all alone. And just when Max thinks it can't get any worse, The Erasers kidnap Angel. Now they have to rescue her, and keep themselves safe at the same time.  That'll be easy. Not.

Why Noah isn't a total nut case.

I could give you a long version with scientific words and stuff like that but I'm just going to go with the simple answer. My cousin Noah likes to pretend that marvel heroes exist (sometimes I think, he thinks there real). you know, Gambit, Wolverine, Spider-man, Angel, Captain America, Iron Man, people like that. Sadly these people do not exist. If you got bit by a radio active spider, one of two things would happen. One, you would end up as a pathetic, radioactive freak, or two, you would die. Not great options. Same with the Hulk. And for Captain America, How would you make a super skinny guy become all big and tough? Steroids? Well I guess that could happen  And although some super heroes could exist, (Iron man, Hawkeye, Black widow, Maybe in the future, Captain America) most are just fiction. With the exception of the x men (in general not Storm and Nightcrawler or Cyclops). Mutants do exist. Most mutants just have, like, two heads or extra limbs and appendages. they can't make weather change or shoot lasers from there eyes or anything like that. But they can make things catch on fire, use echolocation, eat metal, and make metal stick to their body's. Some can even (supposedly) speak telepathically with animals. This is a tribute to you, Noah.

What the heck is a ject?

Ok let me explain here. Sub-ject, e-ject, what the heck is a ject? I mean it must have a meaning some were. Sub means below, so a subject is below ject? and eject, What does that even mean? Lets see, so it means to shoot out, right? Or to get out. So is ject shoot? In that case is it a verb? Or a noun?  hey and lets not forget flate. in-flate, de-flate, does flate mean fill? inflate means to fill up, and de flate means to, well unfill. I guess thats what it means. I don't know.

well that sucks.

If you are wondering exactly what sucks, here is the answer. I am sick, again. I also lost my voice, again. That is great because I have to sing at church Saturday night.  Yay. I really hate being sick, although, truthfully I don't know any one who doesn't. I don't actually know what to say now. Um.... Papa Lee is coming to town. He's going to come, next week I think? ugh, my hands are really dry. I need to put some lotion on. (pauses to put lotion on) There, much better! except now the keys are all slippery. This lotion smells weird. It's a good thing that i don't need to do anything important with my hands at the moment, because the lotion doesn't come of if you wash your hands. Now I'm just blabbering about lotion. That can't be particularly interesting.  Umm, what would be more interesting? uhhh...........

No more Scrooge.

Well, the play is done for the holidays, We had so much fun during it. For strike Cookie and I were on Christmas tree duty. We had to take down all the Christmas trees and put them away. We also had to put away the snow, the tarps, the furniture, and then we had to take a box of Christmas stuff to the Pit. The pit is the creepy room were they keep all the props in between shows. I Am going to try out for the next play, it's an Irish play. I hope I get a good role. I really enjoyed scrooge, I have some funny quotes people said durring it, I am going to write them down.

Wish

If you were given a wish what would you be?
Would you wish for the Mountains or the Sea?
Would you wish for the Sky, or the Earth?
Would you whish for wings so you can Fly like a bird?
or would you wish for fins to Swim like a dolphin?
Would you wish for what you Already have or for what you Can't have?
Would you wish to breathe under the Waves, or to explore the voids of Space?
Would you wish to be a Wolf, silver as the moon?
or would you be a Lion, golden as the sun?
Would you become a Panther, black as the night?
or would you be a Doe, light and gentle as the day?
Would you wish for what you truly need, or for what you think you want?

how to do math, by Bri Pi

I need to get better at explaining things, so I am going to  (try to at least) explain how to do algebra. First let me think of a problem. Ok i got one. 20 - 3x = 25. Now I am going to explain how to do it. Hopefully I did this right.

I have been insulted by my school work.

I was reading about not taking everything literally, and it was saying, I quote "A person who trys to attach literal meanings to all speech is refereed to as Naive. (as in simple, not sophisticated)" It insulted me! I am not naive (most of the time) I am just a litteralist. How rude of my school work. Well that sucks majorly. that is not nice at all, I know lots of other people who are literalists to. They aren't naive. Grrrrrrrr. I'll talk more later, oh wait now I have something to say. Papa came by with a present, for me! I don't know what it is, I didn't even know he was getting me a present. Nana and Papa gave me ten dollars that I thought were my present. Well, I don't know what it is unless it's my paintings from Ruth Thompson. Maybe he framed them. I don't know. Well, Bye Bri!

first week done, next week to go.

I got the first week of plays done. Well weekend really, but who cares. Now I just have next weekend. I am going to TKD tonight, after like a week of not going. So yay!! I feel really tired. I don't know why, possibly because I just woke up? Yesterday during the play, I kept dropping the apples. I don't know why, I just did. I knocked one out of Peter' hand, I dropped one from the table when I was passing it to Martha, I kept dropping the apples on stage, and there plastic so they make a lot of noise. Grrr. Bad apples. Now I don't know what to do. Maybe I should go eat breakfast? Or maybe take a shower, that's a good idea to. I hope i go some were to day. But right now i must go and clean, and eat break fast, and take a shower. Gotta go, Bye Bri! (sorry this is so short)

I got an iPod touch!

Yeah i already new what it was. A few months ago my mom and dad told me that  I could have one of two things. A birthday party or an iPod touch. I went with the iPod. My iPod touch is really cool. it has my nick name on the back. It says "Bri Pi" I still have my Nano, But I'm going to take of all my movies, and just put music on my Nano. I'm going to put all my Apps and Movies and TV shows on my Touch. I Went to see the Nutcracker today and during intermission I was playing Presidents versus Aliens. I'm going to take it with me to the show tonight and play with it there. I had a good birthday, I stool peoples apples, I sang and I pretended to be sad for the 'Tiny Tim is dead' scene. I went out to lunch, I took a funny picture of my cat, face timed my mom while we were in the same room, and then my mom took a picture of JJ and made her Look emo. It was funny.

Happy birthday! (to me)

Yep, it is in fact my birthday! To night I shall go on stage for the play and sing and dance and steal peoples apples. this morning I woke up and came down stairs to check my email, I turned on my computer and what popped up? My iTunes. I quickly checked my email, then turned of my computer. I didn't know if I was supposed to see that. So I went and did school work on the Ipad. But then it acured to me, that if they had wanted me to see that latter, they would have made up some excuse for me to not get on my computer and check my email. So I got back on my computer, did some proof reading, And now I am Writing to you from the computer.  I think they were trying to surprise me with it. I was definitely surprised when I turned on my computer and my iTunes was on, especially since I haven't turned it on since Sunday. I still am not telling you what I'm getting until later. Once I have it I will tell you. But you will just have to wait.

Wolves are important, no matter what you think.

 Some people think that wolves are useless, simply evil predators that are going to kill all of their livestock and eat Little Red Riding Hood and the Three Little Pigs. That is a stereotypical assumption. Wolves are important in the ecosystem. They kill off the sickly and weak animals, they keep coyotes at bay, and they feed lots of other animals with the carrion they leave behind uncovered, such as bears, ravens, and vultures. Wolves are an animal that help us, more often than they hurt us. In fact there is no record of a healthy wolf attacking a human in North America. Nearly all Wolf attacks have been from a rabid wolf, non rabid wolf attacks, although very rare, do happen. Many non-rabid wolf attacks happen at home by people who kept a wolf as a pet. Although wolves do attack people, wolves are still a very important predator in this world. Here are many reasons why.

Light

I have a little light, I hold it high and proud.
I protect my little light, I keep it safe and sound.
but people all around would like to bring me down.
They do not understand, why I hold it in my hand.
they want to kill my light, and end my faithful life.
My light can light a new one, just for you,
But the people all around, don't see the good my light can do.

A couple of reasons, you might be home schooled.

My friend put a list like this on her blog so I am making one too. Here we go.

I am very boerd.

It's Monday. (very observant of me, right?) I have to wait three whole days 'till my birth day! Also that's opening night for Scrooge too. FA RA RA RA, RA RA RA RA!!! Well that was random. : / I don't know what to do,  I need to go find all my make up, I hate makeup. I'm allergic and it make my face all weird. I smell like soap. Yes I know very random, as I have said before. I just re read this post It is very strange, mostly because it's just so random. shmegle fergle gurgle. I don't know what to do. I watched x men 2 yesterday. I haven't seen it since I was like, seven. It was good. I only remembered bit's and pieces from the last time I watched them. But now I remember nearly the whole thing. There was a lot more swearing than I remembered. Oh well, It was still good. I want to watch the new one, but not unless there is some one else who will watch it with me who will say when the bad parts are. Now I am less bored

Did that really just happen?

My thanks giving was an interesting one, that's for sure. For one thing after dinner, Morgie, Fall, Nephi, and Amon were all playing hide and seek. it was Nephi's turn to go and so because he's little Morgie stepped over by the table and covered her face with her hands. Nephi got done counting and said "Here I come!" he then ran strait past her and  went up the stairs, all while calling her name. Kelcy turned to me, her face thoroughly shocked and said "Did that really just happen?" My mom suggested that we all cover our faces and see if he notices us. we did and he came back down stairs, looked at us and then said "I found you Morgie!" then he went back up stairs to look for his brother. Every one started laughing.

my cousin is a computer?

so lat night we found out what our cousins name is. Her name is Adele. when my sisters heard her name they thought our mom said "a dell" as in the computer. My sister's thought she was named after a computer. My dad told me and I thought he meant the singer. we were terribly confused. but she has a name! we were very excited to find out her name.

Need more help!

Last August we found this yellow humming bird, and we have no idea what it is. Has anyone else seen yellow hummers? It's kind of a yellow green color, we haven't gotten pictures but it came by this year too. If any one knows what it is, please tell me!

What's 'napping' got to do with it??

They call it kidnapping, but does the kidnapper ever nap? or what if the person being kidnapped is an adult? Is it adult napping? my mom does that sometimes and it does not involve stealing another person, just sleeping in the middle of the day. What if you stole a cat? Then you would be accused of cat napping! or a dog, dog napping? What the heck does napping have to do with kidnapping?

How to make really good egg's by acident.

 Ok so I am going to give you a detailed instruction guide to how to make really good egg's by accident. here we go.

I am ENTP.

I am an entp. I took a Myers Briggs personality test, and it turns out I am basically a clone of my dad (who would have guessed?) My symbolic name is Inventor. I was reading about what entp's do and stuff like that, and I found in those words, my dad. I also found in those words, me. I read that they like to play devils advocate (my dad) they like to argue (both) like to play with toys (both) that we are clever (my dad, possibly me) good at solving problems (my dad) I read that the best way to speak to an entp is, don't play games (they'll win) don't show rank (they'll put you in your place) don't apologize (you'll undermine your self) just go up and say "I need to speak with you"

Watching Iron Man with Cookie.

Me and my friend Cookie are watching Iron man, it was the seen were Iron man was making his suit and she yelled "Hey look, he has two arms!" then she laughed and said that she meant he had two arm stabilizer thingies. It was quite funny. As i have said before Cookie has a tendency to say very strange things during movies. now she's looking at Tony Stark's figure. I have know idea why. We are having a grand old time.

Stop emailing me, you annoying Disney people!

Disney keeps emailing me about how great they are. I don't care! I don't care that you want to give me a free poster! I don't care that if  I buy two tickets to the Muppet's then I get two free songs (well actually I do care about that one, free music is awesome) I don't care that you want me to buy your stupid Disney crap! I don't want stupid Disney crap, just leave me alone! GRRRRRR!!!!!

frozen dog water.

ok that is not what it sounds like. Their drinking water froze, not, well, you know. Jj and to dump out the frozen stuff, and then refill the bucket. this would have been no problem, but the hose froze. so she had to manually bring water to the buckets from inside. i helped her. then i had to feed the dogs while Jj tried to unfreeze the hose. it was quite an exciting day.

super randomness.

I got to go to TKD last night. Finnaly. I did some pretty kicks for someone whoes been gone for so long. My dad says i should blog before i do my writing for NaNo. I just have to write something. so I'll tell you about whats been happening.

Darn I forgot the movie.

I forgot to bring Soul Surfer with me to the halls house. we still had fun though. we cuddled with kitties. we watched Kung Fu Panda. we had popcorn for dinner, we woke up at six o,clock in the morning. Neg was really angry she got up after Music woke her up, then she came back into the girls dorm, glared at me, and went back to bed. She was not happy. Music was in charge of waking us up, and she is not gental. She yelled in my ear. On our way to church, we saw a bunch of cows that looked dead, because they were all lying on their sides. it was fun though. Neg was coming up with weird names for dog's. Our skit was funny, but partially because Music forgot her lines in the middle. 

TO MANY PEOPLE!!!!!!!

AHHHHH!!!!! My mom is taking pictures today, and there are to many people in my house!!!! I had to go through heck to get my computer cord. my house is full of gymnasts, moms, and my dads math tutor, along with my Aunt Kitty. way to many people. The Neighbors are coming over to take us to there house. I might get to take Soul Surfer with us. I think that will be really cool to watch with them.

One did?

OK so I was writing my story for Nanowrimo, and I hit some button, I have no idea which. All of the sudden the words I was writing were at the bottom of every page. it was One did. I have no idea how to make it go away. I cant wright there normally, but i can't make it go away. the up side is it helped with my word count. :) Ugh now I keep trying to look for my word count for my post. I don't need a word count for my post!

what's going on.

I'm just going to tell you whats happening around here. So I spent the night at the cousins house, and they have a mouse problem. I was down stairs, reading a book. JJ and Fall called for me, so I went up stares. When I got there there was a little brown and white thing sitting on the floor. "It's a gerbil!" said Fall. It was not a gerbil, it was a mouse. Fall had never seen a brown mouse before, all the ones she had ever seen were gray.  So she thought it was a gerbil. We discovered it was a live when I poked it with a pencil and it bit the pencil. I put a cup over it, then grabbed a plastic box and forced the mouse in to that. After a little while we took it out side and left it in the prairie behind the house.

Cool stuff I know about Zoology.

Hey, It's me. I am going to write about Zoology today. I want to be a zoologist once I'm aloud to have a job. Of course I have to go to collage first. But I already know a lot about animals so I'm going to write about cool animal stuff. Genetics, anatomy, behavior, all kinds of stuff. So here I go!

Book Reiview: Matched-Ally Condie. Rated PG

As part of the ceremony, she receives a silver box with information on her Match. The next day, when she looks at the information, and see's the wrong face.

Lack of something better to do.

 I wonder what I'm going to do today. Yesterday I finally emailed Ruth Thompson. I hope she responds. I need my report by Thursday. If she doesn't respond by Monday, I'm going to have to make the report with out her interview. I really don't want to do that. Well at least I'll still have the paintings.

A ghost story, made randomly by Me.

Once there was a little girl, who lived in a spooky, isolated area. she liked dogs and was terrified of spiders. there was a local ledgond about a man who was attacked by dogs and died, fifty years latter. The ghost had a grudge against dogs.

Jake's Tiger Report.

Do you remember my cousin Jake? Well we made a report on tigers. It was hilarious. I am going to put it here.

Gift

 I walk through the grass. Past the flowers, past the trees. Beyond the blackberry. I walk to the forest. I stand at the edge of my boundary. Wanting, longing. I look to the ground and see. A feather. A hawks. The bird I connect to him. A gift. I pick it up but know I can not keep it. Their rules, not my own. I wait and wish and hope. That I can keep this gift. This gift I want for my own. I let go. And see. It fly across the boundary.

This is what I come home with when I go trick or treating.

 OK Halloween was awesome. The little kids got done pretty quick so all the older kids got to go out with out them. so we went to this block party and they had a grand prize of a bike. Everyone tried for the bike and no one got it. I gave it a go, I won the pink bike. I don't like pink and I already have a bike. So I gave it to Fall. My parents were joking about how wen I go trick or treating I don't come home with candy. It was quite funny really.

What Mia has to say

I am going to let Mia type on my computer so here it goes

Halloween!

Today is Halloween. I can't wait to put on my costume and trick-or-treat. Our party will be so much fun. We decorated with stuffed animals and paper. I put up a bunch of crows all over the place. Jake is going to be a transformer, Belle is going to be a fairy in training.

Yo, Was' up?

Hey I'm at home with Black Spirit and Elit, they say hi. I am excited for Halloween I, as you know, am going as Jack Sparrow. Morgan  is going as a zombie, JJ is going as a Fairy, Black Spirit is going as (maybe) a zombie, Elit is going as something. Black is asking me questions about my dolls, I enjoy tying them up and gagging barbies, and he wants to switch the gag from one doll to the other. I have them how I want them, thank you very much.

Even more quotes!

I have more funny quotes for people! Hurray! So here they are!

What the polls say.

OK the polls have closed and for "should we try to domesticate the wild animals" There were 5 votes all together. 40% said no we shouldn't, 40% said we should, and 20% said I am neutral. So it's a tie between yes and no. For pet griffin name, Ferea won by 83%, Mystica and Caleo Felis came in second with 33%, Leo Avis came in fifth with 13%, and Donec came in sixth with 0%,

Strange things are a foot at Papa's house.

I guess the world is getting ready for Halloween, because to day was super creepy. So it's art day, and we went down the road to papa's house. There was a lady walking down the street with a trash bag. I figured she was taking out the trash and her trash can had blown away, our planter did the same thing, no big deal. So we got to papa's house and we were waiting for the Neighbors to get there, and when they did Andie said "Papa, there is someone sitting in front of your mail box" we all looked out thew window and sure enough, there was the lady with the trash bag sitting in front of the mail box. She was reading a magazine. Papa called the sheriff and he came to talk to her. Well not ten minutes latter, our aunt who lives next door to papa, called him and said that someone had walked in front of her window. Papa lives out in the country, so people don't just walk in front of your window. After that, we saw a dog the size of a horse! Big white dog, romping around in the neighbors yard. If you didn't know any better you might have thought it was a polar bear. Man, freaky.

stupid computer.

 Grrrr! My computer hates me. It's been slow recently, so I went to install the what ever its called like I'm supposed to, and it wont let me! My dad has it so I cant install stuff. I cant do my schoolwork because the machine is going to slow. I have multiple things I need to install, i Tunes, virus protection, adobe flash thingies, but I cant. And they wont install when I restart my computer. I need my dad to fix it. My computer is mean. All the installing thingies wont leave me alone! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

How to be Jack Sparrow for Halloween.

 Jack Sparrow is awesome. For Halloween this year I am going as Jack sparrow, yeah yeah, not creative enough for Bri, who is extermily skilled in the creativity department. Well how about this, I am a girl going as Jack Sparrow.  So ha. Here is how to be a Jack Sparrow impostor. You will need- a wig or long hair, beads, pirate booty, string, a belt or two, a sash, a white garb shirt, tiger-tog pants, some boots, a sword, LOTS of jewelry, and a hat, don't forget the hat. Also some eye liner and a little eye shadow. And maybe a little fake blood.

My nose hates me.

I have a sinus infection. My throat feels dry all the time, my ears are stuffy, my nose is stuffy, my head hurts, and my stomach isn't thrilled either. My cousin is driving me nuts, Belle keeps yelling about shoes. Morgan went to horse lessons, JJ is teaching Jake, and Jake is doing school. Tonight I have rehearsal again. and I have to make dinner. What am I going to make? I wish this stupid sinus infection would just go away!!!!!  Blech.

My sister is quoting people. So I guess I will to. "You cant have another peach until you blow down that house." "don't put that in your mouth, it's been in your sisters belly button" "you are not my cousin, JJ is my first cousin, Morgan is my second cousin, You are just my third cousin." "boys have peanuts, girls have peaholes" "I desperately want my hat" "I was talking to my eraser" "do you know were the brain section is?" wow that was fun, bye Bri.

Fun stuff to do at Wal-Mart.

OK, I just like to do silly thing. So here are some fun stuff to do at Wal-Mart. just because you have to be there to shop, doesn't mean you cant have fun, just ask a parent first. If you are 16 or older, it doesn't really matter.

I now smell of kitty litter.

 Ugh. Do you remember a when I spilled perfume all over me? Well the smell finally died down, unfortunately, just after that I went collecting walnuts with my cousins. So then I smelled like walnuts. After that finally settled down I had to change the cat litter. So now I smell like cat litter. Maybe I should pour more perfume on  my self. At least that way I smell pleasant.

Silly things to do when you are boerd.

If you haven't figured out by the tittle, I am bored. So I am going to tell you funny random things to do when you are bored.

Liquid. A poetic discription.

The water is cold, more than I prefer. As I swim just under the waters surface, a ray swims past me. My heart pounds in my ears, I am fearful of something that can't hurt me. I look at the coral. Fish are swimming around in the nooks. They are so brightly colored, neon almost, I am amazed at the florescence. My fear is extreme, not really because I am frightened, because I am so excited it scares me. I look over and see a barracuda in a ship wreck. My heart pounds even more. The water is clear like glass. I look at the unusual colors, some I have never even seen before. I am so scared, never being in this world before. I long to go deeper, but I keep back, terrified of the giant rays. I see schools of fish, Blue, Green, Pink, Purple, every color imaginable, even some that aren't. As I surface again, I see the world above, breaking the image of the wild. Tourists are every were. Loud. I sink back under the surface, trying to hold on to the wild, silent freedom of an ocean that isn't real.

Egg head.

 My cousin doesn't like eggs. He is very proud of this fact. but he doesn't realize that eggs are in every thing. So my mom was asking me if we had eggs and Jake yelled "I don't like eggs" before my mom said what she needed them for. As a result Jake did not get any pumpkin bread. Then we had a lengthy discussion about what eggs are in. Cake, Gold fish, Cup cakes, Brownies, Cookies, and lots of other good stuff. Being a smart alack, I said "You know what else has eggs in them? Chickens"

Dyslexia a gift and a curse.

  So the other day me and Neg were at McDonald's, and Neg was trying to read the signs on the windows backwards. So one said, "Every Night, Teachers Night." and Neg could not figure out what it said. She kept reading Nights as Nigits. She was very confused. "Nigit, what is a Nigit?" she said. I looked at the sign and I could read it perfectly, being dyslexic, and said "Neg the sign says,'Nights' not 'Nigits'" she looked at the sign and said "Oh. Bri you are so lucky your dyslexic!" My mom looked at her funny, then went back to eating. I guess it's kind of a gift and a curse, because I can read things in mirrors and on windows, but sometimes I don't even realize its backwards.there are lots of people who have dyslexia or had dyslexia and look how they turned out. 

Can zombies be dyslexic?

So I was Googleing  famous dyslexic people, and what came up? Dyslexic zombies. Can a zombie even be dyslexic? According to Google, dyslexic zombies try to eat Brian's instead of brains. I don't think thats very nice to dyslexic people or zombies or Brian's. But I guess if we ever had a dyslexic zombie Apocalypse all we would have to do  was have all the Brian's names changed to Steve. Why Steve? Because it sounds nothing like brains. Then the zombies would die of starvation. Because, dyslexic or not, zombies ain't to bright. (Its there on purpose!) They might be craftier than your average zombie, but they wont be to bright. Why would someone come up with dyslexic zombies? Are they trying to imply that dyslexics are stupid? Because that is not at all nice. Some people are not nice at all.

I don't get the appeal of zombies. What is so cool about undead people who try to eat peoples brains? I think it is scary and dumb. I don't see why people like them. Do people just like scarring them selves silly? Well these are my thoughts on zombies. Bye, Bri!

My biggest pet peeves.

I have a lot of pet peeves. here are just a few of my biggest ones.

I love my griffin!

I still haven't decided on a name but in the poll, the name Ferea is winning. Good that was one of the best of the five names my other favorite was Mystica . It didn't scare the cat like I thought it would. I am going to take it to Rehearsal tonight to see if anyone notices it. I bet they will. I like Latin names because of their meaning. Also Latin is really cool!

Ren Fest, again.

Yes I went back. This time I got a pet Griffin. But I need a name for it. So on the bottom of my page I have a poll with multiple Latin names. I need you to vote which one is the best, and you can pick multiple (please only pick two or three) It is a blue and white griffin. I haven't decided if it's a he or a she yet, that will depend on the name. So please vote. Now I will tell you about my day at Ren Fest.

Bayou, a poetic discription

The air smells old. Old and fresh. I look in the water and see fish leap out. They are silver and blue. The boat has scared them. through the sky, I see green herons and snowy egrets. they land in the trees, covered in Spanish moss. I sit in the boat, waiting to see the reptiles that are said to live here. I think I see one, but it is just a log. Not an alligator. The trees are covered in pink lichen, making them look surreal. Banana spiders spin their webs, their size terrifying.  look at the sky,  pure blue. Between the trees are power lines, eliminating the idea of seclusion. A heron flies down snatching a fish, the rest leaping for escape. I want to see an alligator, all there is are more logs.  It is hot, the boat provides no shade. I look and see another egret, this one younger, sitting in tree. Again am welcomed in this world of wild. Free of the restrictions of people, society. Soon I will leave this free place, forced back to reality, but I think I will stay a little longer.

Hurray!

 Today at art, papa said I am only supposed to draw wolves when I draw animals. so that way I learn one animals anatomy at a time. So I am very happy because i get to just draw wolves, along with my weekly thumbnails. This will not only help my art, it will help my zoology to! so hurray for art.

Book Review: The Son of Neptune- Rick Riordan, Rated-PG

**WARNING: The Son of Neptune is a sequel, there may be spoilers in this review, please read The Lost Hero before if you don't like spoilers. If you don't care, proceed**

Percy is confused. He has spent the last month trying to get to camp Jupiter. now he's there he thinks he's in the wrong place. he needs to find Annabeth, the only person he remembers from his past. He meets two people who want to help him at this camp, but also several people who want him dead. He and his friends, Frank and Hazel, have discovered something horrible has happened.  The doors of death have opened, and the only god who can fix it is missing. So Percy, Frank, and Hazel must go on a quest to save the god of death, and pretty much the rest of the world.

Forest, a poetic discription.

The sky is clear, brilliantly blue. I sit in a dry creek bed. The walls of rock get higher and higher as it goes. I sit at the top, where a water fall would be. The air is sweet, a flowery perfume of fall. Birds sing as I look. I close my eyes and listen, breathing  in the smell of Autumn. I open my eyes and see squirrels playing, running up and down a fallen tree. The bed of moss I sit on is green, fresh from the new rain. The jagged rocks poke out of the wall, creating false caves and overhangs filled with spiders and insects. I look again to the fallen tree, it was old. Someone cut it down. Now it is part of the stream, a thing for animals to play with. A cry comes up, a screaming child crosses the bridge over the creek, killing the silence. I sigh. I get up to leave this peaceful place. I cross under the bridge and up the path. I look back at the rocks I sat on. I will come back, but I wont get to sit on the rocks again. I will be an intruder to this place, like the child. For a little while I was welcome, like I belonged in this wild, free world. I will be welcomed back, but not yet.

Why is it so hard to find a pure bred dauchshound for free!?

My parents told me that we cant have another dog. Unless it was a female, dappled, short hair, dachshund with papers, for free. Then we can have a third dog. My moms favorite dog is a dappled dachshund. That is why it has to be a dappled short hair dachshund. The female part is because we don't want it to pee all over the place. No marking in the house. Amazingly, its really hard to find a dappled, short hair, dachshund for free with papers. I wonder why?

Today I found some books about how to make animals look real at the library *sigh* witch means I have to give them back. :( That makes me sad because they are really helpful. I drew a dachshund (dappled of course) that looked pretty good. I mean it had muscle and bones and shading. It showed me how to start it. Then I just went from there. I also got a book called "Animal Anatomy for Artists" which is also really helpful. Well I guess that's all I have to say because I need to make dinner now, Bye Bri!

Silence is golden, but Duct Tape is silver.

Duct tape is used everyday. We use it in our cars, homes, work, and every were else. Strange things have been made using duct tape. Purses, flowers, aprons, wallets, boats, even bridges. but how much do we actually know about this useful stuff? Well, lets learn about duck tape.

Help!

OK I give up. For art I need to find a picture of a wolves body structure, you know, muscles, bones, posture, that kind of stuff. I cant find this anywhere on the internet, I need this soon because my teacher keeps getting on to me about it. What I really need is a book about the anatomy of canines and birds and cats, well really all animals. If you could point me to a web site or give me the name of a book with that kind of thing in it, that would be really helpful. Thanks and if I finish a picture that actually looks like a wolf I will post a picture (No stealing! MY PICTURE!) Yes I know what you are saying "But Bri, why don't you just go to the library?" I know, I am going tomorrow. The problem with library book is, I have to give them back. What I need though is something I can keep on my shelf or pull up on my computer in a moments notice. Please give me some suggestions! Bri

Zombies exist!

There is such a thing as zombie disease. It is found in a caterpillars and insects only. (It can only effect bugs,  don't worry) the disease causes the insect to not be able to think. They climb to the top of a tree and just sit there. But the weirdest part is, once the virus has run its course, they turn into goo! I think that is worthy of a horror movie. The virus that causes it is called Caterpillar brain washing virus. it takes over the caterpillar so it will do its dirty work. The only thing it does is make more viruses. Creepy.

Luckily the gene they virus uses to zombifie caterpillars and bugs causes them to not be able to molt, so they keep eating and eating. and this causes them to get bigger and make more viruses. Since people don't molt like insects do, we should be safe. Also it effects their behavior.  We have completely different behavior than insects so if we do get infected with this, it probably wont do what the virus does to bugs. we have to different biology and behavior. I highly doubt the virus will turn us into undead people who like to eat brains, if it can affect us at all. Often animal viruses don't effect people or only mildly. So again we are probably safe. Its still creepy.

writing is so controversial

I love writing, I also hate it. I am not kidding! I love to write, I feel so free when I put my thoughts on paper or a computer screen. But I also hate it. I hate writing what people tell me to write. I feel controlled. I don't like that feeling. I like to write what I like to write. I like to write reports, but I want to make them about what I like. I don't really want to write a report on how to make an enchilada, or about the battle of Saratoga. I like righting about nature and animals and art and books and music. That's why zoologist is such a good job for me. I will have to write about what people tell me to but it will be about something that interests me. I really wish there was a job were I could just explore and learn and write. That would be the best job ever. I would get to do the things I love and get paid for it! I would be the richest person ever. Because I would work so much. I also don't like dead lines. There is so much going on that I don't feel like I have the time to finish everything.

I think that's why I post so much. When I write I feel free. I used to be embarrassed for people to read what I thought but know I feel excited to tell you about everything. I love my blog. I can escape this horrible world and just say what I think. All the stress, fear, pain, every thing comes out. I don't even feel like I need to smack something so much! I just let my feelings come out in my writing. Bri Pi

Ocean and Moon, a poetic discription

The Ocean is liquid silver under a full Moon. The metallic waves lap at the sand leaving butterfly shells in their wake. The sand is soft under my toes. As the wave run over my feet, the sand around me dissipates into the sea. The Moon is full and bright, the clarity is amazing. The Ocean is dark blue with silver tongues. They move and shift, always different. In the darkness of the abyss are creatures unimaginably alien. But I stay were the Moon lights the sea in blue-silver flames. I look in the distance, but only see blackness blending with blackness. It is hard to tell were the sea ends and the sky starts. I love this place, always different. Never the same. It will always be here, yet never exactly. I look again at the Ocean I know I will never see again. This one exactly. My first view of the Ocean and the Moon.

Wolves

Why do people not like wolves? The hunters don't like them because they eat the deer and elk. The ranchers don't like them because they think they kill there livestock. Well news flash people. The wolves take out the weak elk and deer, so that you can have a better trophy. The wolves take out the coyotes who kill 25% of livestock, were as wolves are a minuscule 1%. In my opinion that is a very good reason wolves should be brought back to Missouri. They are bringing the elk back, why not the wolves? Then the bears and pronghorns might comeback to. We kicked them out from superstition, fear of there marvelous song. But now how often is the cries you here in the moon light of rural Missouri, wolves? None. Its just coyotes and local dogs. We need wolves. They regulate deer, and elk who eat all our trees. They kill of coyotes who kill our live stock. When wolves were brought back to Yellowstone national park they had to guard the wolves at all times because they were getting assassination threats. On the wolves! That is ridiculous. Why are we so superstitious of these majestic canines? They are the sisters to our beloved dogs. I believe we need to understand them better. They are a lot like us. They live in family packs with the mom and dad as leaders. They hunt for food as we did. They are loyal to their family. We are like wolves, and that is part of the problem.

Because we hunt like they do we see them as competition. Predators take out competition. We need to see the symbiotic relationship we have with them. They take out the weak prey for us to have the better, stronger animal. They protect us and our livestock from the coyotes. They are our friends and we don't even realize it. they are wild and free and beautiful. I think we are jealous. We are jealous of there freedom, so we take it. We are jealous of there wildness so we take the wild. We are jealous of there strength, their beauty and their love. So we take it. We take all we can from them, but they still are our friends. They still hunt the weak. They still kill the coyotes. They still bless us with their song. For once I think we should give back what is theirs. Let them come back to the land they claimed before the colonists, when the Native Americans knew they were friends. I am going to bring the wolves back to Missouri, and you cant stop me.

my opinion.

Some people disagree with my opinions, well that is just fine. I just want people to listen to my opinion and be open minded. Make your own decisions, don't let others choose for you. I chose to believe in God, I chose to believe in small scale evolution, I chose to be me. I have made my decision about the exotic pets, if proof comes up that proves my ideas incorrect I will look at the facts and decide again. But it will be my decision. I don't want to be a person who only lets others decide what I think and how I act. Its my life and I chose to take it to the most I can use it because I only get one shot here and then I go one way or the other. I want to use  my life for god and I want to use my life to show that just because I am a zoologist I am a christian too. People don't need to decide between God and science. That's one choice I don't need to make. I don't need others to tell me who to be, all I need is God and my heart. I am me. I am who I am and I will NEVER change that.
Don't be people, be a person.
I am Bri and that's final. You cant make me change, because I am weird and I am PROUD OF IT! I am a person. I will decide who I am and I will decide where I am going with my life. You are individual! Use it! You are creative! Use it! You are you! So go into the world and prove it. I don't need popular people to tell me who to be. Stand up to the popular people. Show them you are a individual. And they wont bother you if you look proud of that fact. A person is smart, but people are stupid.

Anti-stickman, the sequal.

We are very anti stickman. My sister has been making drawings of dead stickman. She is for anti stickman. I am for anti anti stickman. My mom has a shirt that has stickmen running from zombie stickmen. My dad made anti anti stickmen a name S.A.A.S.M, Society Against Anti StickMan. Poor poor stickmen. Morgan drew a stickman with an arrow through him. Then she drew a stickman choking another stickman. Morgan is not nice to stickmen. Now she drew a stickman stabbing a stickman in the throat. Next she will be drawing bubble animals being mean to stickmen. she dew a horse trampling a stickman. poor stickman. I hope she doesn't make stick wolves ripping the stickmens throats out. That would be anti wolf to. Now she electrocuted a stickman! She is not nice to poor stickmen! Now she made a stick man vampire being turned to ashes in the sun. I am sad for the poor soulless vampire stickman. Bye Bri.

Duck tape, the maricale substance.

So today we made flowers out of duck tape. Those are the pictures. We also made purses, wallets, bows, and other things. Here are some more pictures of duck tape stuff. To bad we cant make a boat like the Mythbusters that would be cool! Bye Bri!

Exotic pets, should we try to domesticate the wild?

 Haven't you every wanted a little fox as a pet? What about a monkey as a companion? Why shouldn't we have monkey's and chimps and wild foxes as pets? Well there are consequences to having a pet that should belong in the wild or a zoo. For one thing, What the heck do you feed it? Were do you take it to the vet? Can you train it to use a litter box or to go out side or use the toilet? These are just some of the problems exotic pet keepers face along with the physical danger you can put your self in. here are some reasons you should think long and hard about buying that cute little monkey.

Return of the skate boarder.

 I haven't skate boarded in forever! I made my skate board jump though. It jumped about two inches of the ground. I wish our street was flatter, then I could skate with out going to fast. I tried to smack my self with my skate board. I was trying to do a manual and I fell of. The board flew up and tried to smack me. It was interesting. 

Weird things I've said in my sleep.

Yeah I talk in my sleep. Some times I even sing and laugh. I'm great fun at sleep overs. My cousins will let me fall asleep only to wake me up and tell me what I said and did. so here is a list of the weird things i have sayd and done in my sleep.
1. Through a Pillow Pet at my cousin.
2. Informed my cousins Harry Potter was a fuzzy pickle.
3. Said there was a mandarin in my closet.
4. Screamed that an edible dorm mouse was going to eat me.
5. Sang Jesus loves me.
6. Said look at the flying Cheetos.
7. Got up in the middle of the night and kept asking my dad if he forgot JJ. Then I went back to bed.
8. Yelled about spiders.
9. Kicked and punched my cousin.
10. I kissed a fish pillow.
Yep I did all these things in my sleep. I know weird. I really enjoy hearing what I have said or done in my sleep. Well bye, Bri!

More conversations.

So I thought the wierd conversations were so funny I was going to make another page devote to weird conversations. Here we go!
Morgan: (Darth Vader voice) Daddy, I am your daughter!
Daddy: No, Its Not true!
Morgfan: It is true!
Daddy: NOOOOOO!!!!!!!
(end of conversation)
Morgan: Bri! you spilled milk on my hair brush!
Bri:(laughing)No I spilled milk on your hair brush.
Morgan: that's what I said.
Bri: well it was an acident.
Morgan: (thumping bri with brush) You spilled milk on my hair brush!
Bri: Have we not already distinguished that?
(end of conversation)
Nephi: Hi Morgan
Bri: Nephi, my name is Bri not Morgan.
Nephi: Right. Bri.
Kathy: No thats Morgan.
Nephi: Right. Morgan.
(end of conversation)
Bri: I need a weird conversation!
JJ: No!
Bri: But I need a weird conversation.
JJ: No!
Bri: JJ I need a weird conversation!
JJ: Well Here's One.
(end of conversation)
Some times I wonder why we have such weird conversations.
 Well that's all for now, by Bri!

Why total animal rights people are wierd.

Yeah, animals should be treated like animals. That's what they are, not that we shouldn't treat them with respect. God made animals to be people's servants and companions. They can also be used for food and inspiration. Some animals were made for food purposes, like chicken and pigs, some for close, like sheep and cows, some for inspiration, like wolves and leopards, and some for work, like dogs and cats. The animal rights people are right we should treat them better, but they aren't people. Some people don't think that animals can think, but I think they can. What god gave us above them is the ability to create, to imagine. I don't think animals can create or imagine. But they can definitely feel. I can see that they can. You think a dog isn't scared of a master who beats? You think a cat can't hate a tormentor? You don't think an elephant will not take revenge for a wrong doing by a human? They can feel, they can feel it all. Pain, love, fear, hatred, grief, longing. They can feel. You just don't see it.

Return of the iPad apps

The weird iPad apps are back by popular demand!(Not really I just like funny apps) so I went and found even more weird apps and now you can read about wacky iPad apps for no price! so here they are:
1, Funny call. It changes your voice so when you call people as a prank they cant tell its you, supposedly. (Only compatible with iPhone)
2, Ginger Both. Take a picture of your self and this app will turn you in to a red head. Comes complete with pale skin and freckles. (I bet red heads don't like it)
3, Ask Vader. Ask the sith lord Darth Vader any thing you want and he will answer (im)patiently or he will not answer you.
4, Sleep Talk. OK I seriously need this app. This app will record every thing you say will you are asleep. Then if you think they are funny enough, it will send them to your Facebook page at the press of a button.
5, Pick up lines. It's an app full of pick up lines for men. Most of them are really stupid and won't work(sorry guys)
6, Mouth off.  this app Will let you put a fake mouth over your own. The fake mouth will move as fast as your own mouth will.
7, Ageing both. shows what you will possibly look like when you are older.
And those are the weird iPad and iPod and other iStuff apps you can get. some are on my dads iPad. Well I hope you enjoyed my app post. Bye, Bri!

Wierd conversations

So yesterday I was reading a book on the couch with JJ and Morgan playing with some LPS. this is how the conversation went,

The Hunger Games-Suzanne Collins, Rated: PG-13

 In the land were America once stood, there is a new country called Panem, consisting of 12 districts and a Capitol. The districts are slaves to the Capitol, forced to do their work.  Once a year a boy and a girl must be sent to the Capitol for the Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live television.  Sixteen year old Katniss is a poacher in district 12. She hunts for her sister and mother. When her sister is chosen for the hunger games katniss dos'e  something irrational; she volunteers to take her sister's place. In the hunger games losing is death.  Now she must survive the hunger games, which means twenty-three other people will die.

MY BOOK CAME OUT!!!!!

I just finished reading it, it's awesome! But now I have to wait for the next one! That makes me a sad panda and it comes out in a year! Well at least the other books I want will come out in between then, but still. The next book is supposed to be one of my favorite caricature as the main characters. GRRR! I wait so long for it, and it only lasts me a day, not even! Now I have to wait a whole other year! I will do a review in a few days, I have to sort my thoughts on it first. Oh by the way the book is called The Son of Neptune, and I've been waiting a year for it to come out. Well I have other books to read and wait for. :( I hate waiting. Waiting takes to long.  I want my book right now! Well bye Bri!

I should 'probly explain the quotes,

OK so do you like my new and improved blog? I made the background my self. It consists of various different quotes me and my family and friends have said. Some from (using code names by the way) the neighbors, the cousins, the horse people, and several from me and my sisters. I really enjoy quotes, they pretty much sum things up.

Ren Fest, Rocks!

Yesterday I went to the Renaissances festival. I got a necklace that had a glass bottle and a little wolf charm on it. It came with free perfume. I picked a flowery smelling one called Wolves Blood. when I got home I was sitting on the couch when I stretched. After I stretched it smelled really flowery right were I was sitting. Everyone could smell it. It occurred to me my hand was wet. I looked down and saw it was covered in perfume! The cap on my necklace had caught  on my other necklace and popped of. I went to wash it of and the smell wouldn't come out. I now smell like Wolves Blood perfume.

Random things I've learned from T.V

People say that you don't learn anything from TV. They are wrong. Here are random things I've learned from TV.

Baby breaks out!

My cousins Belle and Jake are staying at my house every day wile there parents are at work. today we discovered there favorite song. Break out, from Shake it Up! is there favorite song. Belle was running around yelling "Break out! Break out! Cool!  Cool!" and Jake was singing, yelling  and dancing. It was pretty funny. At one point he tried to do the worm. He looked like a fish out of water, but it was still cute.

Book Review: The Lost Hero- Rick Riordan, Rated: P.G.

Jason woke up on a bus in the middle of nowhere. He doesn't know how he got there, or his last name, or who  Piper and Leo are, the people who claim to be his friends. They go to the grand canon were they battle evil storm spirits, and are rescued by two people with flying horses. They take them to camp half blood, were they learn they are the children of the Greek gods and one of them needs there help. Hera the goddess of marriage has gone missing, and she claims she has Jason's memory's, and will only give them back if he frees her. So Jason Piper and Leo go on a quest to rescue Hera (and the world).

I hate math.

So today in math on the computer, I had ten questions. I got eight right and just two wrong, no biggie, right? Wrong. It decided to only give me fifty percent, even though I should have gotten eighty percent. It gave me an F! I should have gotten a B! Stupid math. That is really unfair. I don't like math and I'm starting to get better with my resentment of it, and this is not helping! Gtrrrrrrr! Stupid math on the computer, Stupid math! GRRRRR!!! OK I vented. I'm good now. Bye Bri!

Mia, the vegan cat and her side kick, Talus the wimp.

My cat Mia is a vegetarian. I am serious. Every time she gets hold of something veggie she eats it! Cat's are carnivorous! She is a herbivorous carnivore. My cat is so weird. I dropped a piece of lettuce, she ate it! A grape falls from the table, it goes in her mouth and is never seen again. Noodles, gulps them down! Cheese, she eats it. If its something for a herbivore, she eats it. Weird cat. Not that she doesn't eat meat, she steals it from people if she must. But she eats veggies.

 Oh and there's the big wuss, Talus. He's afraid of everything. Blenders, vacuums, red heads, people who's names start with M, things that fall of tables, small children, the i Pad, dogs, cats, outside, fish, water, computers, diapers, you name it he's afraid of it! We have the wimpiest cat ever.

 We made super hero names for all our pets. Callie is Bat Dog, Eleanora was Under Dog, Mia is Battle Cat, and Talus is Cringore. Together they are the the Fantastic Pets! Well bye, Bri!

It's the Fish and bugs world, too!

 In the united states alone there are 735 endangered plants and 496 endangered animals. Animals need our help. not just the cute panda, or the beautiful wolf.  The insects too. The problem is that because people consider them creepy crawly's, they don't help. But they are important to! We need to help all the beasts, not just the cute ones. Insects have a place too. They pollinate flowers and plants we need for food. They eat the other insects that hurt us. They feed the animals we need for food and other things.  If we only help the animals we find cute, then we are just Hippocrates. So step up and help.

Santa's Caribou

 Reindeer and caribou are the same thing. Caribou are what they are called in America. Reindeer are in Europe. So since we live in America, we ought to be calling those reindeer caribou. Also, male reindeer (and caribou) don't have antlers in winter. Only the female do, thus Rudolf is a girl. But I guess old habits are hard to break.  Every time I refer to them as Santa's caribou or the fact that they are girls, people look at me like I am an idiot.

Dogs+A garden= Rotten food.

 So this summer we decided to make a garden, but because we have dogs and rabbits we had to be really careful and get a fence for it. After we got and set up the fence we planted some sprouts, and some seeds. Well, at first we thought there wasn't enough sun light so we chopped some branches of the nearby trees(lovely for forts by the way). The plants started thriving. But then they became infested with squash beetles! They killed most of the pumpkin and the squash, and a few of the cucumbers. After the bugs went away, the cucumber took over! They killed a bunch of the other plants and were everywhere! And just when we thought it couldn't get any worse, the dogs discovered there was food in there. They killed and ate several plants (not to mention "fertilizing" stuff) and then just when the pumpkin started to grow back and sprout a tinny pumpkin, they ate it. Next year we are getting a real fence, and not a little rabbit fence. Well, at least the rabbits haven't gotten in. Wish us luck, bye Bri!

I'm international!

I have had ten views from Russia, and one view from Germany! That is cool! I wonder what they thought? I wish they would comment I want to know what they thought! Along with the people from America! Come on people comment! I want to know how I'm doing!

 To day I ran a mile in twelve minutes. Not that great for a martial artist. My dad beat me :( and my mom did not :( . So we need to work on it before the five K race that we might be doing with my Aunt. So that's what I'm doing here. Running and getting ready for my next book review's (The Lost Hero) So, bye, Bri!

Random Philosifical Thoughts

Do rainbow's taste like Skittles? Red heads are an endangered species. Cheese is made of old milk. If you put a kitten on your shoulder, it will probably scratch you. Today will be yesterday tomorrow. If you have no fears your probably stupid. What if chocolate was an endangered species? Saturn would float if there was a bath tub big enough. If penguins had aposable thumbs they could rule the world. Humming birds eat ten times there body weight in food. Animal fur is band in California. Thank you these have been random philosophical thoughts.

It's their world, too.

 If God gave us this world to take care of it, then we suck. If he gave it to us to mess it up then we are doing a really good job. I think people should stop thinking God will intervene with our pollution of the earth. I don't think so. I think when he said we were in charge of the land, sea, and beast's we should have taken him seriously. We have put our garbage in the soil, in the seas and rivers. We've poured our waste into the ocean. We have hunted numerous animals to extinction. We have even polluted the sky! You can't see the stars in the City and not in towns either. And sometimes in the City the air is poisonous! If we are masters of the earth then I think we should step up and do our duty. If one person can change the world, think what everyone else can do to.

Weird ipad apps.

So last night my parents were playing with the cats. With the i Pad. Seriously, there is a cat play app. For your cat. And that got me thinking, what other apps are there that don't make a whole lot of sense? Just to list a few:
1. Bed rabbit app. This is a dancing app you lay the i Pad on your bed, then you start dancing and jumping, (Have we learned nothing from "no more monkey jumping on the bed?) It then rates how you did.
2.The  Pocket girl app. It's an app that lets guys have a fake girl friend on their phone. I think it's stupid and kind of sexist. Hey guys how would you feel if we went walking around with fake boy friends on our phones?
3. The chocolate app. It's a virtual box of chocolates. I bet they taste virtually great!
4.The Hold on! app. This apps entire purpose is to see how long you can hold on to a virtual button. Very useful.
5.The Friskeys cat fishing app. This app is a cat game. You turn it on near a kitty, and a virtual fish pops up. Every time you tap it it changes color and goes faster. If your cat makes it through all the levels, the i Pad tells them they won. (Cats can't read!)
So, these are very weird apps. That's all for today bye, Bri!

Anti-stickman

What does our society have against stick men? I mean we hang them, put wigs on them, put them in skirts, we put them in strange circumstances, we obviously don't like stick men.Why can't we be nice to this simple yet, useful piece of art.  It is put on signs to warn us that children are crossing, on restroom doors to tell us which one is for our gender, and they make easy cartoon figures. I think we should stop abusing the stick man. (This is where people ether look at me like I'm crazy or applaud)

Coming soon to a blog near you!

 Today Jj, Morgan, and I are going to make a movie. It will be called: Veggie Wars, a Veggie Tales/Star Wars spoof. It will star, Larry the cucumber as Han Solo, Pa Grape as R2-D2, Laura carrot, as Chubacka, the prince dude as Luke Sky-walker,  Mr. Nezzer as Obi Wan Kenobi,  the princess lady as princess Leah, and Davey Jones as C3-P0. OK, we know Davey Jones is not a veggie tales caricature but, he was all we could find. As long as we make the movie to my parents standards we should be able to have it on my blog.

 Just 2 weeks until my books come out! I am so excited, I have been waiting for it since last year. I was bad and read the teaser for The Son of Neptune, so now I am really excited! It comes out in just 2 weeks!!! Yay!!!!! Then I have to wait another year for the next one to come out. Well at least the other books I want will come out in between then. Well, that's all for today, bye! Bri!

My cousin, the princess.

 Hello, its me again. A few months ago I went on vacation to Disney world. On the way I saw a sign that said Princeton Elizabeth-town. Dyslexic me thought it said princess Elizabeth-town. I have a cousin named Elizabeth and she wants to be a princess. I guess she got her wish.

My computer is mean to me. It decided to lock me out of my blog. I'm not kidding! I wanted to look at my blog and the parent/family thingies blocked it! Really? I mean I wrote the thing, its not going to have any thing inappropriate in it. Grrr. I will have to make my dad fix that.

I wish it wasn't so cold outside. Wasn't it in the hundreds like, a week ago? Missouri has weird weather. One day its warm, the next its cold, then its warm again. Why cant it just be warm all the time? I personally would prefer this. In winter it's to cold, and in summer it's to hot. Well bye, Bri!
 P.S. Grrr! Now it won't let me preview my blog! Stupid computer!

Tada!!

 Today I have blog. If you you are wondering what the carnivorous herbivore thing is, to bad! Mohahaha! Not really. I made a movie (well video, actually) about a witch who controlled a bunch of rabid carnivorous herbivores. Then she was eaten and now she is just a dead corpse. It was very interesting. Now I must go because I want to watch the movie. Bye!
