a little bit of nothing

( another answer under the cut ) Aren't we ossum? Yes, you learn something new EVERY FRAKKIN' DAY.

In other news, Mrs. F has checked out season 4 on DVD. Yay.

She's one of my RL friends who likes BSG.

You can go bug her at pepperedfox.

:]

why is it that little kids love what older kids consider as chores? my little bro Kenny's always eager to do homework and stuff. :P

dishwashing is apparently no different. my two little brothers, Kenny and Lewis are more willing to do the dishwashing duty than their older sister, me. :P

mom: Lily, you're doing the dishes tonight.
Lily: frak.
Kenny: I wanna do the dishes!
Lewis: I wanna do the dishes!
mom: no.
Lily: YES!
Kenny: I'll wash the bowls and plates!
Lewis: I'll wash the phone!
mom, dad, and Lily: *crack up*

Tomorrow we go to the Grand Canyon, south rim. :]

I tend to forget a lot of things, so here's another thing from yesterday. I was at that Wild Animal Park observing the birds in the aviary. There were two birds (Amazons, I believe. :P) that acted so nice and cozy that I was tempted to call them the "Roslin and Adama birds". I took a lot of photos of them; I'll picspam later.

Today we went to the Painted Desert, home to the Petrified Forest. It was... petrified. And ancient. They didn't allow us to take any petrified wood from the park, and my brothers and cousins threw hissy fits at that. We also went to Meteor Crater and some other pretty places whose names I totally forgot. :P Airlock me.

One of them was the ruins of a Hopi settlement, though. A few miles from that is this tall plateau with a wall. It looked creepily like the mountaintop where Adama built the cabin in Daybreak. I wanted to take pictures, but we were moving too fast. :[

Meteor Crater was windy. My hair got all messed up in the photos. As the name might suggest, the crater was created by a meteor. The Meteor Crater museum played a ten-minute movie about the place and later in the gift shop I bought something for Mrs. F...fossilized fish. ;P

After that we went to see petrified wood. Whee.

We had dinner at Denny's. The waitress seriously screwed up all of our orders. It was eventful. My bro Kenny and my cousin Ashley were cutting their french fries up and sprinkling salt on their ketchup. No comment.

I listened to just about every song on iRoslin on the drives in between the sites. I think I might make a Bella/Edward fanmix, because I'm just like that. :P And I might continue some BSG fanfic, but I barely have time cos Mom and Dad don't allow me to write or read in the car. XP

Hey, I'm in Arizona! :P
The travel plan's for us to go to Flagstaff and stay there for three days. Then we'll go to the Grand Canyon and finally to Vegas.
The car ride was Boring with a capital B. I listened to iRoslin and read Twilight. Whee.

So far, I've kinda conceded that yes, Bella is a Mary Sue and Edward is a Gary Stu. But then again, Mary Sues and Gary Stus belong together (so the better characterized can get left alone :P). Verdict? I is a Bella/Edward shipper.

Jacob seems pretty awesome, but I haven't seen much of him yet. Alice has just made her entrance. Carlisle is awesome. :]

As for teams, I'm still neutral. Edward is pretty cool (despite being a Gary Stu) and I think Bella is lucky to get someone like him-even if the price is him being a vampire. :P Life's a bitch and then you get bitten.

Their relationship is rather unrealistic, I have to agree. It goes from "I hate you" to "I love you" in a matter of chapters. I wanted more a friendship between the two. Like an Adama/Roslin sort of partnership/friendship. But I guess because Edward is allegedly hot that that's not much of an option. :P ;]

But back to life. It is good. Ish. I miss mah friends. :[

Anyone going to Vegas or the Grand Canyon? Plz keep me company!!!!! ;] *looks pointedly at laurandbillever *

We had a two-day mock-trial for John Brown. Yeah, for two days I wore a suit to school. I love my suit jacket; it's very presidential. ;]

The trial's utter fail, btw. Mr. W seriously rigged it. What the frak? We found Brown innocent and he turned the camera off and yelled at us.

I was a defense witness whose character's father was in the prosecution. Does that remind you of anyone? Especially since I tried to make a passionate speech about justice and my "dad" was all like, "wtf?". It was LOL. And the judge kept spinning around in his chair. The baliff swore in the attorney instead of the witness, which was LOL, too. And Caitlyn was doing camera duty and constantly zoomed in on people's zits and freckles and stuff. x]

I want a blooperreel. I mean, I seriously screwed up my part... :P Hopefully no one will call me out on bad grammar 'cos I used "me and my friend" instead of "my friend and I". It's called NERVES. :P

In other news...
I made three animated "Battlestar Twilightica" icons. Why, no, this isn't supposed to be a jab at ANYTHING. *looks innocent*.
( of three things i was absolutely positive )
(unfortunately the second and the third are too big for LJ. I have no idea how to "downsize" them. :P)

I also made icons off of the kittycats.
( cat, i'm a kittycat. and i dance dance dance and i dance dance dance. )

there was an icon meme earlier today. now there isn't.

now there are pictures.

 

 

( meow )

In other news... Mrs. F, Caitlyn, and I want to go to Dragon*Con, but it's on the other side of the country. *pouts* As soon as I get wind of one with Mary McDonnell and Katee Sackhoff in the Los Angeles area, we are so going and we're going to dress up! :]

I think I'll go as Boomer for Halloween. Now, where do I get military tanks?

Mrs. F looks very presidential. She has a suit jacket and a white crossover blouse. ;]

Oh, and in other-other news, it's icedteainthebag 's birthday! :] ( Bill looks like Lawrence of Arabia. :P )
Happy birfday, icedtea. You wanted Bill in Laura's headscarf. ;]

This little mixtape is dedicated to Mrs. F (the Laura Reincarnate, zomgs!), Caitlyn, Christine, Christina, Rebecca, and everyone on my flist. *hugs*

( you are the wind beneath my wings )
Download the mix here.

only downside is NO MORE BSG WAHHHHHHHHHHHH. :[

Mrs. F gave me a HUGE bag of skittles and now I'm on a semi-sugar high.

She also bought me a latte! :]

And then I watched my former history teacher, who was in the army, coach PE. First-class entertainment right there. I felt like I was at an OFU watching fanbrats get tortured. x]

I'm thinking up my next fanmix. It'll have songs from other movies and TV shows, and they'll all apply somehow to A/R. (Esp. "Ballad of a Bitter End"...) I think I'll call it "Across the Universe". :]
