BOYS AND PRINCESSES

i am currently staying with my sister and her family and my niece has eight little disney dolls, jasmine, ariel, belle, mulan, pocahantas, cinderella, aurora, snow white. well i like to play with these dolls and mix and mess up the stories. it's all highly entertaining. well anyway one day i took these dolls into a different room from my niece and left her to play with her cousin. i went into the room where the boys were thinking i could REALLY mix up the stories without being disturbed. this did not happen. the four boys ages, 5-10, were intrigued. they wanted to play too. so we divided up the dolls between us and had a jolly good time. we had balls and slumber parties and shopping sprees and everything. the boys had so much fun that they still ask me to play princesses with them.
who would have thought that boys could have so much fun with princess dolls?

NEW CRAZE

Are you ready for another brilliant idea? OK OK OK so it's not as brilliant as the last one but I can definitely see dollar signs. Ready?
Glass furniture.
Not just tables and lamps but couches and chairs!
They would come with all rounded edges or prechipped edges smoothed over just in case someone is worried about getting a chip and looking tacky. It would be cushioned of course and the fabric would be washable. Talk about hypo-allergenic! It would be easy to clean out crumbs and toys and remote controls!
The only downside that I can see is that it would weigh a ton. Perhaps modern technology can help us out with that though.
I can totally see this selling big time to the wealthy with the big fancy shmancy houses. It will be the new craze of Hollywood.

JOURNAL ENTRY OF A DRAGON

dragons are an oft misunderstood race. it is automatically assumed by people that we are inherently bad. but this is just not so. people think of dragons when a building is on fire or a girl is missing. why would a dragon want a maiden anyway? they're all skin and bones! no meat! at least not enough meat to make it worthwhile. and what would be the purpose of setting a building or field on fire? we need fields for food as much as people do. we are often visited by hostile knights on various quests who feel it is their duty to slay a dragon. fools! what is their reason? to seek the revenge of previous fools who sought to slay us? now be honest. what would you do if someone broke into your home stole your stuff woke you from a sound sleep and tried to rob you of your life? let him have at it? i think not! that would be foolish. you would be dead and the thieving murderer would be free to do it again. no. it is best to stop such nonsense right away. at first i tried to reason with the knight who did these horrible things but they were so full of their own self-righteousness that i had no choice but to kill them out of self defense. i no longer bother to try. i simply fry them and go back to sleep.

WHAT IF SNOW WHITE...

What if Snow White's step-mother was nice and loved her step-daughter?
What if Snow White ran away and met the Dwarves for a reason other than her step-mother trying to kill her?
What if Snow White did not like Prince Charming?
What if Snow White in reality was trying to run away from a stuck up selfish Prince who was convinced that she was crazy for him and wanted to marry him?
What if Snow White fell in love and married a Dwarf instead?
What would the Prince do?
I will have to write all this out. It sounds hysterically funny to me.

GENIUS PURE GENIUS

Are you ready for shear genius?
I hope so! Because after all you are reading MY blog.
OK so I was watching my baby nephew take a bath yesterday and I was thinking how effective water is for baby cleanup and this brilliant idea just struck me...
BABY BIDET!!!
VIOLA!!! No more mess! No more wipes! No more diaper rash!
IT'S BRILLIANT!!!!
Talk about genius! Every baby I know suffers from diaper rash at one point in time or another and I had always wondered what a good solution would be.
A Baby Bidet is the answer!
HA! HA! Now if only I knew someone who could make the idea a reality...

HOT AIR

School is rather phooey. And I don't particularly care for it. Probably because of the way it is carried out and the methods by which our intelligence is judged. For example I CAN NOT STAND IT when I have to fulfill a required amount of words or pages to explain something so simple as to be summed up in three sentences. When a student is forced into writing just so much the intelligence of the paper or essay goes down and the hot air goes up. Hot air rises eh? Yes it does. The more a person must write the more hot air goes into it. The problem is the hot air rises but the grade may or may not. It depends on how good your hot air is. Instead of grading hot air and how many pages and how many words, teachers need to grade the information simply for information's sake. If the question is answered or the situation explained or whatever then that should be the basis for the grade. Not how long it is. It is being forced into writing these hot air papers and essays that have to do a lot with how much I hate school. And I have learned that my current school is worse in this way than any of my previous ones. It upsets me. I'm supposedly going to a very good school but I don't see it. I am heartily glad that I am only here for the summer to learn what the place is really like. So far I am not impressed. But I suppose someone will inevitably say my next school will be the same way. Maybe. Maybe not. I hope not. I like to be tested/quizzed/homeworked for my knowledge. Not how well I can expend hot air.

CORDELIA

i have been working on a new story. the fairies are at their wits end. they do not know what to do. the magic is gone. they send two young fairies named dolly and georj to go in search of someone who could help them. where should they look? the first human they ever see is a large man who rides a huge green monster that tears up the earth. the monster rider knew a smaller human named cordelia. cordelia is a little girl who plays with two small plastic people. dolly and georj are very curious about cordelia and they follow her around. they watch her play with her plastic friends, clean, eat and play with her dad who can't walk very well. the more they watch her, the more they like her. they wonder if she is the one who can help the fairies.

SPONTANEOUS RANDOMNESS

I was hanging out with a bunch of people yesterday and there was a long lull in the conversation so I looked at the girl next to me and told her to say something random. This is a blog of spontaneously random sayings.
Go to the bakery and buy yourself a dodo bird.
Moon stars drive to the movies on dirt bikes.
Cows travel east in the dawn of a new day.
Blood red flowers consume the bugs of time.
Brown cars are all the rage in ant hills of feathers.
Z will one day spell apple..... Zapple eh?
Seek the vortex of your soul to bring freedom to your mind.
Needles linger in the memory of wrongs done.
Fur is what parrots drink to make them sing.
Yellow twists and turns into a maze of forgotten paths.
Books are what dreams are made of.
A stapler is called a stapler because it eats paper.
Green and orange just don't match.
You will never believe what that monkey just said to me!... What?... What are you talking about?... Monkeys can't talk!
Post mortem is what happens when the internet dies and you need to get a new one.
Music is the destroyer of the undeserving idiot.
To laugh is to have the ability to live through mind numbing lunacy.
Penguins who try to fly turn green on impact.
Chickens gather together to discuss the weather on the moon.
Voracious camels hide from the inevitableness of eternity.
What is your spontaneously random saying?

PUDDING

I do not like being sick. It is phooey. I have a sore throat and a runny nose. I think I would rather throw up. At least I would be over that quicker. So I have been trying to drink lots of water and (because we do not have real cough drops) I have been consuming large amounts of VitaminC drops. I have spent lots of time in the bathroom with the hot water steaming everything up. It clears the nose and soothes the throat. I have also been avoiding dairy because that complicates the nose problem. Until now. My brother Daniel is staying with us and he likes what he calls Daniel Food. Well yesterday he made six boxes of pudding. There are only three people here to eat it! And Bree but she does not eat very much. Well I was looking at all that pudding and decided that I did not want Daniel to eat it all so I ate some. I tell you what. Other than the steam from the shower nothing has made my throat feel better. It is so soothing. My throat feels wonderful when I eat it. I do not care what it does to my nose. I will take whatever relief I can get.

VEGGIE TALES

Is there anything more ridiculous than singing vegetables? I mean seriously... talking singing vegetables that teach Bible stories. How silly is that? Very. And I love it. Veggie Tales is the most hilarious thing I have ever seen. It's good fun entertainment for kids AND adults. Some of the things they say are sooo funny!
"We've been getting a lot of questions about sharing," says Bob the Tomato.
"Yeah! Like... When do I have to share? Why do I have to share? Whatever happened to Sonny and Cher? Questions! Questions! Questions!" says Larry the Cucumber.
This is just one example of the hilarity that goes on in the show. Fun songs that I enjoy just as much as kids. Memorable quotes. Silly situations. It's Great! No wonder they describe it as "Sunday morning values... Saturday morning fun!"
Anyone who has not seen it, should. I guarantee it will bring a laugh.
"We're out of time for today kids, but remember; God made you special and He loves you very much. Bye bye!"

DAJER & DIJAE

Everytime I turn around there's Dajer and Dijae. Dajer and Dijae are husband and wife. Who are these Dwarves that seem to be everywhere and doing everything at once? They are in the Gnome capital Eisoj. They are in the University at Nocaj. They are at the prison. They are in the Dwarven palace.
Who are they?
They are loyal to the Dwarven Royal Family. They are accomplishing tasks for them. They run errends, spy on criminals, interrogate for information, hunt down enemies, travel to other worlds, protect the Family, provide transportation and anything else they may be called on to do. They are very busy people.
Is that all they are?
I do not think so. There is something about them that is just not Dwarfy. They are different.
But how?

MARSHMALLOWS

marshmallows. they are so yummy. until you eat too many. then they are pukey. isn't it interesting how much we love and appreciate something until we have too much of it. then we can't stand it. for example... once upon a time i loved brownies. i would eat them any way they came. raw. half done. perfectly done. burnt. hot. cold. home-made. store-bought. it didn't matter. as long as it was a brownie. until... one christmas time... everyone makes brownies at christmas time. and with christmas spirit and goodwill they share with everyone they know. i got a ton of brownies that year. i enjoyed every one. except the last one. i got sick. to this day i can no longer eat a brownie without being seriously sick. too much. there are many things we buy or do or eat that we love until one time too many. then we can never tolerate it again. this is why moderation in all things is so important. moderate your marshmallows or you will be tasting them a second time and it won't be pleasant

MADNESS TO THE METHOD

A THOUGHT HAS JUST STRUCK DELEMETRE.
WHAT WOULD THE WORLD DO WITHOUT PRONOUNS?
PRONOUNS SIMPLIFY OUR LANGUAGE AND REDUCE REDUNDANCY. CAN THE READERS IMAGINE NOT USING PRONOUNS?
DELEMETRE CHALLENGES THE READERS OF THIS BLOG TO TRY TO GO A WHOLE DAY WITHOUT USING PRONOUNS.
DELEMETRE THINKS THAT NOT USING PRONOUNS WOULD BE QUITE FUN AT FIRST BUT WOULD EVENTUALLY BECOME TIRESOME.
GIVE NOT USING PRONOUNS A TRY ANYWAY.
DELEMETRE KNOWS THIS BLOG IS SHORT. BUT DELEMETRE HAS WORK TO DO.

COLOR

I have been asking many different people about color. What is the color of hope? Fear? Sorrow? Joy? Determination? And many others.
It started as a research project for a book I am writing. As I asked different peaple I noticed some interesting patterns.
Hope: Most chose light colors.
Fear: Mostly dark colors but there were also some light ones.
Sorrow: Most said blue some said black.
Joy: Mostly yellows and greens.
Determination: Mostly blue some green some yellow.
There were other patterns too. People who feel stronger emotions chose more vibrant colors. Those who do not chose quieter colors.
I have noticed another pattern with the emotions that have the same colors for a certain person.
For example Kayti chose red for love, anger, hate, excited and energetic.
Savannah chose black for anger and sorrow.
Lauren chose pink for love, excited and energetic.
Andrew chose grey for tired, worry and confused.
There have been others that I have asked and they have their own patterns too.
Do you see how the the emotions are related to each other in the color they chose? It tells something of their characters. Their strong emotions and their not so strong ones. The emotions that use the same part of them.
It has been a very interesting study. And i have learned much from it, although I did not do it for character study of my friends.

MUSIC

"If music be the food of love play on. Give me excess of it." --Orsino, Twelfth Night
Music is a very influentioal part of our lives. It can make us crazy. Happy. Calm. Excited. Peaceful. Tired. Energetic. Thoughtful. Sad. And a variety of other things. Music defines us. Different people listen to different kinds of music. Certain types of people listen to classical. Others listen to hard rock. And yet others listen to both.
One can tell a lot about a person by the types of music they listen to. I listen to Enya. The Corrs. Classical. Billy Joel. Sophie B. Hawkins. C+C Music Factory. They Might be Giants. R.E.M. Tears for Fears. And other similer stuff. This says that I like upbeat music. Funny music. Calming music. Thoughtful Music. Wild music.
I am happy. Wild. Crazy. I am quiet. Thoughtful.
The music defines me.
The music tells who I am.
