Fly A Brick
Fly a brick. After I picked up the brick and tossed it up into the air I realized there are many cooler ways you could fly a brick and that this blog is really a summertime thing when you've got the time on your hands to invent a flying machine around a brick. Then you would really be flying a brick.
Thunk. The brick landed in a pile of dirt. And my lttle daydream ended too.

Annoy Total Strangers
So I went to the movies with some friends. It was gonna be great.
First you must know that they are very great people...who never do anything utterly wrong...ever. There is the occasion when they will yell at their mother or run the printer out of ink but come on...gimme a break :)
Anyways we were going to see "When In Rome" It was supposedly a really great movie so I was super siked. First I am standing in the line and am about to go up for my turn when I start talking and just willy nillying pretending like I have no apparent idea in my mind that I am supposed to go get my ticket. I just held my friend back when I tried to move. After the women (who I might say looked strangly manly) yelled a few times I finally went up to the counter. Feeling the angst around my I chuckled a bit and took my sweet sweet time!
Then we go up to buy some snacks. My friend wants some sour patch kids. Straight forward...I asked how much they were. He told me they were 4.50!!!!!!!!! 4.50!!!!!!!!! I basically yelled. Then I started complaining to him about this just plain awful prices and how stupid they are. I said how do you expect people to buy them when you can get em for like 10 times less than that at the Target next door and sneak em in with your purse. I could tell he was getting annoyed so I backed off.
We get seated and then all of a sudden my friend desperatly needs curly fries! Whatever Ill go I said. So I wait there and its taking forever. Then a lady goes over to the guy at the food counter and starts chatting it up. This guy is Indian and I mean I know there is nothing wrong with them but I was like seriously disgusted ny the unatractivness and knew that this lady could do soooo much betterwith less effort than she was giving now. So I start saying geeze get a room...make my fries im hungry and saying how she needs to quit flirting with the guy so he can get on with his dutys....which at the moment is making MY CURLY FRIES!!!!!!
This is a really great movie you know that. OMG!!!. How sweet. He is sooooooo hott. Is this...oh it is!!! My favorite song (singing along with all the songs, belting them out and standing up) Well my friends by now are yelling at me to shut up but I am just having a great time. That poor movie theater I swear haha. Then at the end I can't help standing up and grooving it out!
Thats basically the end of my annoyance...haha I might take this upo as a hobby...what funn ;)

P.S. I also started shaking my butt and slapping it and grooving around outside the starbucks while I was waiting for my dad to show up with the car. Poor people........................................................................:)

Hold an ice cube for as long as possible
OW OW OW OW!!!
Aye Yae Yae....so I held my ice cube for as long as possible, and I thought that, that would be until it melted. Well little did I know that in the result of my waiting I nearly discovered what it felt like to have frost bite.
Sometime last week my dad had my brother put an ice pack on his arm. My brother wouldn't sit down and be lazy so attached it with a large ace bandage and continued to go about his business. A few hours later my dad asked him to put it back on and my brother told him that it was still off. Well my brother took off his ice only to realize that he had a nice bump that was sure odd looking and a weird red patch on his arm that didn't go away for days.
My dad told my brother it looked like he had a very minor case of frost bite. Of course my mother flipped out and my dad was like its fine...no big deal. While I sat and watched and wondered what it would be like to have frost bite and why I had never developed it because that is always my method of icing as well. Leaving it on until you feel that it is melted ;)
Which brings me back to our case today. I may have been a little bit of a weenie with the ice cube but obviously bad things can happen right! Exactly...so technically I didnt do this entry correctly. I should have waited until the ice was completely melted and the water had evaporated out of my hand. Now lets just pretend that that was precisly what I did even though it was only my intention.
So what you should really learn is that frost bite is easier to get than it sounds and you should be alot more careful when icing an injury!!!

Check Under Chairs/Tables for Chewing Gum
Fortunately for me, I take a class at the highschool a couple blocks from my house, so today when I went in ( I was a little early) I bent over and looked under my desk.
Gross. There was gum all over the the angle that made the underside hidden from horizontal view. Wads and wads on top of eachother but not just gum! Gum, gum wrappers, candy wrappers! And a funny thing that I noticed was that the front desks had less gum, and the back much more! So it's easier to stick your gum wrappers under there if your in the back withough your teacher noticing, that's for sure. I thought it was rather interesting.

Read Tea Leaves
It just so happens that I know a wonderful woman tha owns a tea shop downtown. Yesterday, I went down there and asked her if she knew how to read tea leaves, surprisingly I got a negative answer, but ( there's always a happy ending in fairytales, right?)she did have a book about how to read tea leaves that she told me she'd bring in today. So, I picked it up today, took it home and started reading. Now, I don't believe these sort of things to be true, so I hope you take this with a grain of salt also. After carefully reading the instructions, (and skipping over the history and introductions blah blah blah) I carefully made sure I had about a half a teaspoon left in my cup before I swishes it around three times with my left hand and slowly tipped the cup onto the saucer. Then, after waiting a moment for the moisture to "become right" I picked the cup back up and looked inside. It was interesting to try and see different shapes and figures inside my teacup. Here's what I got, it started out looking pretty good with
Angel- good news, especially in fortune and love
Butterfly- success and pleasure
But then I got a cross, I though a cross would be good but-
Cross- a sign of trouble and delay or even death
It gets worse.
Hour glass- imminent peril
Dog (on the bottem of the cup) secret enemies
But it ends on a good note with
Moon- prosperity and fortune
Triangle- always a sign of good luck and unexpected legacies
So, that is reading tea leaves. I'll let you knownif any of these things actually happen!

Plant A Shoe
So I have this shoe. Note how I clearly said "shoe". And not "pair of shoes". Yes, this shoe has no mate. That's perfectly fine though, except for the fact that it's a really cute Harajuku, and the fact that it's just taking up room on our already crowded shoe rack. Oh well.
I had originally been planning on doing this last Thursday but ended up with a last minute babysitting job. Then I was in Las Vegas all weekend, too busy to even think about our blog. Wow, that shows my love and devotion, huh?
Anyways, when I decided to plant a shoe, I of course knew what I would be doing. My only hump was where to bury it. I don't have my own yard so that narrowed it down a wee bit. My next idea was at the park a few blocks from my house. But I generally don't like that park so why was I even thinking of it? I don't know. My next -and last- ideal spot was behind the library that is a block away from my home. Then I would be able to pass by it every time I go there, which is quite often.
Oh, I forgot to mention my other small hump. I didn't have a shovel. I dug with my hands and the shoe, and fortunately, the earth was soft and moist. So I got it into the ground. Planted. Okay, that's fine. Now my only worry is if the whole is deep enough or not just because it was hard to create a big hole with my equipment. But since I do walk by most every day, I can keep checking. Good.
That also means I can see if my shoe is growing. Since I did plant it, after all. Should I water it? No, I don't think so, it rains a lot up here where I live. I think my baby will be fine. Maybe sometime this summer I'll check and see what happens. Until then.

Stack Furniture/ Rotate Your Carpet
We choose our post randomly so I'd like to tell you why I chose today stark what I'm doing.
All week long my brothers have been up for a visit and I'll tell you, they so not clean up after themselves! They left last night and when I woke up this morning I found a list left by my mother of chores and things to do- I'll interrupt myself here to let you know that I was planning on a big cleanup day and the reason I hadn't done so before was because I just had surgury on my elbow.
The floor was covered in dirt, dust, and spilled food.
The counters were piled high with dishes.
We don't have much furniture so I easily stacked the chairs, stools, and this little step ladder on the table. Then I put our two living room chairs on top of the coffee table along with a basket of CD's and magazines and that's all of our common furniture! Then I swept the whole house. Then I redecorated the house by moving the coffee table, the dining room table and rotating the rug!

Tenderize Your Tongue
Ok so...not the most pleasant thing to do today. but ill deal since it is my duty to the people lol. So in order to test whether or not this really works, i plan to see how many sips of lemonade I can hold on my tongue. I cupped it and so that will make it stay. now when my tongue is tenderized the goal is to see whether or not my tongue can hold more or less lemonade.
I am predicting that it will hold less just because it will be softer. So here goes.
Ok so my tongue can hold three sips of lemonade...Lemonade curtousy of the teriyaki place near my dance studio...
Now I plan to chew on my tongue for the next few minutes while I am typing this and then try again. This feels like a friggin tongue massage MMMmmmMMMMmmm...it aint so bad after a while lol.
Haaha Ok so i would say my tongue is pretty tenderized. now lets try this again. Ok so honestly this hardly makes a difference except for now my tongue has teeth marks on it and thats about it.
Ok I honestly think i should eat before I start biting my tongue all the time, it would make it pretty impossible.

Translation: So today I am learning to type with my toes as you can tell it is a bit of a challenge... and congrats if you can read it!!!
So I guess that this is sort of a hard task. Because I am also supposed to physically learn how to do this, I should train myself. So when I can write two perfect sentences in a row with my toes...I will consider that shear accomplishment.
For those of yuouh whoo are gymnastgsv oer dancers, im ould highlhy rfercommeneds lewearingf how bto tued sioth ylou loed.

AC, myself, is a dancer.
VICTORY!!! Ok so i have completed one full sentence typing with my toes. Now if I can get this next one perfect I will have official mastered the art.
Cross your fingers because I am sure this is getting a bit old.....
Gymnastics and dancing both require you to point your toes.
YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! i have done it... well for the most part. Either way I have typed with my toes and thats all that counts really. But what I was mainly trying to get across though these last few sentences was that when you are typing with your toes you have to point them alot. So thats why I was saying that I would highly recommend trying this if your are a gymnast or a dancer because honestly my ankles might be sore tomorrow from all this rigorous pointing ;)
Well this has fo shizzles worn me out. I think I should go sleep now...yes sleep sounds like a good idea.
Happy toe typing dreams...or nightmares, dadadadum!

Translate Shakespear into English
Now, you may be thinking, ''Shakespeare is already in english." But I am talking about 21st century english. I don't read Shakespeare, and wasn't quite sure I knew what was going on, but this is what I got out of the first part of Much Ado About Nothing-
Leon. I got this letter today that says Don Pedro from Aragon is gonna be in Messina, like, tonight.
Messenger. Yeah, he was really close when I left him.
Leon. How many people have you lost doing this?
Mess. Like practically none.
Leon. Winning is so much better when the whole army comes back. I hear that Don Pedro has favored a guy named Claudio...
Mess. The kid deserved it, dude, and Don Pedro always favored him. He's really mature for his age, and gone way beyond the expectations.
Leon. His uncle lives here. I bet he'll be proud.
Mess. I emailed him, and he was super psyched.
Leon. Whoa, did he cry?
Mess. Yeah, a lot.
Leon. Well, men who are in touch with their emotions are better off than the other ones.
Beatrice. Can I ask you a question? Is Signoir Montanto back from the war yet or not?
Mess. I don't know who you're talking about.
Leon. Yeah, who are you talking about?
Hero. She's talking about Signoir Benedick from Padua.
Mess. Oh, him. He's back, and doing great!
Beat. He put out advertisements and now my uncles [fool] and cupid have this crazy bet... but I mean, how many people did he murder? I swear I'll eat them all!
Leon. Calm down, you tax Benedick too much, you guys will get even soon enough.
Mess. Yeah, he is a great soldier.
Beat. You had bad food, and he had help eating it. He's got a good apetite, and a strong stomach.
Mess. Like I said.
Beat. A good soldier to you, but what about to a lord?
Mess. All the same. He had great morals.
Beat. That's true, but we're all human.
Leon. Don't get her wrong, dude, she and Benedick have a thing, even though they've never met, and they argure light-heartedly about certain subjects.
Beat. Oh, he doesn't get it! Last time we talked, he lost his mind, and now he doesn't have enough sense for anything! They send a new aid every month.
Mess. Is that even possible?!
Beat. Oh yeah, totally. His faith changes constantly.
And that is how far I got before I was so rudely interrupted. Let me know if you beg to differ on any of these lines.

Mess. Yeah, he is a great soldier.
Beat. You had bad food, and he had help eating it. He's got a good apetite, and a strong stomach.
Mess. Like I said.
Beat. A good soldier to you, but what about to a lord?
Mess. All the same. He had great morals.
Beat. That's true, but we're all human.
Leon. Don't get her wrong, dude, she and Benedick have a thing, even though they've never met, and they argure light-heartedly about certain subjects.
Beat. Oh, he doesn't get it! Last time we talked, he lost his mind, and now he doesn't have enough sense for anything! They send a new aid every month.
Mess. Is that even possible?!
Beat. Oh yeah, totally. His faith changes constantly.
And that is how far I got before I was so rudely interrupted. Let me know if you beg to differ on any of these lines.

Apply For a Unicorn Hunting License
Wow. Lake Superior State University actually has this license! But they do make it clear that it is not hunting, rather, questing. Anyone can join, and once you have done so, you are a member for life. I have conveniently posted the application here-

but I encourage you to read more about it first on the second link I have posted.
http://www.lssu.edu/banished/uh_about.php
The license is ver easy to fill out, all you have to do is agree to the terms and regulations, sign, and date it. And you can become a certified unicorn hunter, just like me!

Drink as Much Prune Juice as You Can
Bonjour! Today we have the results of my experiment on Friday! I had never drank prune juice before, and didn't think it would be that bad, because I do like prunes. Coincidentally, I needed the prune juice because I had surgury Thursday evening, but we don't need to get into that except to say that that is why I have not posted lately.
So, everyone knows that prune juice is supposed to make you poop, right? Well, I found out that it does not include me! How much did I drink? Welllll, uhhh see it tastes nasty I found out, and could only down two eight ounce glasses of the thick, pulpy, opaque eggplant colored ''juice''.
La-dee-dah, I went about my day..... didn't use the bathroom.
La-dee-dah, went about the next day and the next day, and finally, on the fourth day, that prune juice (but by that time it wasn't prune juice, it was Miralax) finally did its thing.
So, in conclusion to the ''Prune juice makes you poop'' myth, I'd say that you either need massive amounts of it -which seems impossible since it tastes so gross- or, just try it when you didn't just have surgery.

Found the Jim Jones School of Bartending
Jim Jones as in the guy who sing "We fly high?". Well, it turns out there are two Jim Jones. Even after I googled the other guy I still couldn't figure it out which guy it was supposed to be names after. I clearly didn't get the pun on this one, or if there even was one. But I decided it didn't matter.
So, I made beautiful flyers complete with a drawing of a few different drinks, a fake name, and my phone number to call. Then I posted them around town. I am now awaiting phone calls for Serena Gaiton. I still haven't figured out what I'm gonna do if people do call!

Sweat
This was certainly not a hard task...for I am a serious dancer and am at the studio sweating all the time. The thing that made me laugh out loud though was that I reaked of garlic. Now here is the whole story in order.
I have been sick...Monday through Friday I missed school
My herbalist told me to eat some garlic
I ate some garlic
I still have the awful stench
The thing that really gets me is that people actually notice/d. My own mother was with me at the Central Market and she told me that I smelled like garlic and to back up a few steps because it was grossing her out. Thanks a heap mom. Then when I was at dance we were working on this flip I do...later i told them about this garlic extravaganza. They had smelled it too! My advice, although it may make you feel better...garlic will do nothing to improve you self confidence becuase people will be telling you left and right.
Receive this blessing from our God
Keep me in mind and I will not allow you to being under the awful garlic curse.
And All Gods People Said.........AMEN!

Abuse the plumbing
I don't know much about plumbing. My mom and I both find cleaning hair from the shower drain disgusting so we make her boyfriend do it. I also find that our drain in the bathroom sink extremely slow. So I take it out when I brush my teeth. I have braces. I am silently and slowly abusing our plumbing when I watch food that was stuck in my braces swirl down the open drain. Simple, easy.

Run Around in Squares
Dogs know best that running around in circles is an easy way to get your mind off anything...and get extremely dizzy. Well today while I was taking my turn I wasnt running in circles I was running in squares. Let me tell you, it took me a minute to recover from that what...its pretty dizzying too.
Not only that but my mind was literally only on the next turn I needed to take. Running in small squares was even harder. You can never seem to turn in the right place so it usually ends up being a circle your running in. Quite frankly it seemed hopeless to me. H-O-P-E-L-E-S-S-!-!-! I think you get it. It just discourages me that dogs can be so much more apt to running in any sort of shape than humans. Well now you know never to try running in circles, it is not an enjoyable task.
A toast to the dogs!

Drive a Tank Into a Movie Theater
This has been embarrassing. I drove a toy tank into the best movie theater in town.
Before I actually completed the mission I wanted to get some feedback from a worker first. A young woman whom I sorta recognized was the only one standing at the popcorn counter when I walked in. I had really wanted two people in there when I drove the tank in so that I could talk to one of them about what I was about to do and hear how they think they would react. The second person would have no idea. A real surprised reaction. Then I could compare the two. I asked the girl if anyone else was working and she pointed me in the direction of the box office. I told the slightly elderly woman in the box office what I was planning on doing and asked her how she would react.
"I'd just tell you not to shoot anything with that little gun on top." She said. I thanked her after she wished me good luck in there, took a deep breath and opened the door to the movie theater.
Kneeling on the ground, I pushed the tank into the theater and drove it up to the counter, sound effects and all. Then I looked up. The girl had an amused looking smile on her face and asked me in a confused voice what I was doing. "Driving a tank into the movie theater." I replied.
"Nice." She said. Nice? How is that nice? Silly, I can see. Weird, even. But nice?
Well, she was that kind of person who says stuff like that, so I didn't give her a hard time.
Of course she asked why, and I told her what I was doing. "Well, I better go write about it." I said, after she clearly was done with me. The few steps I walked out of the theater felt like so many more. At least the woman in the box office congratulated me and wished me good luck on the rest of our list.

Dial-a-prayer and tell them they're wrong
Me- AC, what's the phone number for dial-a-prayer?
AC- Uhh, let me look it up. It's 1-800-4HEAVEN.
Me- Thanks.
I dial and get this buzzing excited feeling when it starts to ring.
Then an answering service picks up for this "divine" something-or-other company. I hang on for a minute just to make sure it was the wrong thing.
Okay, don't freak out, I tell myself.
Me- AC? That was the wrong number.
AC- I just found that out to, sorry.
Me- That's okay. I'll look it up this time.
How often do you want to just bow down and worship google?
Jiminy. It saves me every time. It lifts me up when I have fallen. It comforts me when I am sad. Need I say more?
Well, this time I'm prepared for failure or jackpot when I hear the familiar buzzing ring. Then....
A voice. Calling me friend. Telling me they are glad I called dial-a-prayer. I wait breathlessly as the voice goes on.
And on. Ohhhhh. I have come to a realization. As this voice is scripting from the book of Job, comforting me, and expressing it's sympathy, I feel anguished that no real person has picked up! What if I had an urgent prayer? What if I really did need to tell them they were wrong? How in the heck could I tell them?! They made me feel worse than I did to start with. What. A. Bummer. Allors, mes amis, I would advice NOT to dial-a-prayer when you need one, because, rest assured, you ain't getting one.

DIAL-A-PRAYER
Apparently I am completely inadequate of Dialing A Prayer. Which surprises me...who knew it would take a genius? Upon trying three numbers I came up with zero results whatsoever. First I did the obvious...DIALAPRAYER which is actually 3-425-277-2937 in numbers. But this is Craig's Phone Number...so don't call it =) Interesting man...our conversation went like this:
Craig- Hi this is Craig
AC- Hello, is this Dial A Prayer?
Craig- Ha...no, I think you have the wrong number
AC- Oh I am so sorry...
THE END!!!
Then I called 1-800-4HE-AVEN which is actually not Heaven at all, but the Divine Design retail number...whoopsie! So if you are interested go to www.divinedesign.com or thats what they said to do :0
And the final number that I called is no longer in service according to the cute Verizon girl's recording.
So *shrug of shoulders* I guess dial a prayer doesn't exist, and if anyone knows of an in service prayer hot line I would be happy to hear from you!
Well Happy Prayer Dialing for Now!
Always
AC
OOOH!!! It worked, I dialed a prayer! I didnt think it was possible...well boy I figured out a number that worked for reals :) Haha and wowser that is a nice experience...its a recording and it friggin cracked me up!Here is the number...812-473-PRAY Ha well...I dont exactly know what to say to that...ummm how about
In Jesus' Name We Pray
Amen
Craig- Hi this is Craig

Try to ignite water
If you know me, you know I'm a big Audrey Hepburn fan. I wouldn't have thought that trying to ignite water would have anything to do with her, but it did. I should also mention that I
believe in the randomness of life. I won't get into that though. I'll stick to the point.
Trying to ignite water is a pretty stupid thing to try, especially if you're going into it not knowing what the outcome will be. I mean, do I even need to tell you what happened when I put my match in the bowel of water? Right.
Well, as it turns out, I was feeling bummed so I popped in one of the few Audrey movies I hadn't seen yet ( and also the only thing the library had that I hadn't seen yet). Anyways, about halfway into it their car catches on fire. It's almost out when Joanna Wallace (Audrey) pours her bottle of water on it to get the last flames out and the whole thing ignites again! And what's more, then it somehow becomes a big river of bubbles.
But the thing here is, as I was trying to ignite water with fire, she was igniting fire with water, catch my drift?

Think of quadruple entendres
So today I am to think of quadruple entendres.
Yesterday, I didn't even know what one entendre was, let alone four! So what'd I do? I did what most americans do when they want to find something out real easy. I googled it.
An entendre, actually a double entendre, is a phrase that can be interpretted in two ways. For example, "We stand behind every bed we sell" can make you wonder if the salesman who sold it to you will be standing behind the bed you just purchased and come nightfall is watching you sleep. The other meaning you could interpret it to be is they firmly believe in the beds they selling and that they are the best of comfort.
Triple entendres are seen also, but less so. And quadruple entendres are rare.
So today as I was going about my business I tried to think of phrases that could have four possible meanings. I found it quite easy, so came to the conclusion that I was cheating, or doing something wrong. I finally came up with one that could really, truly be called a quadruple entendre. Here it is:
She's slipping away.
Meanings-
1. She is dying slowly
2. She's slipping and sliding to her hearts desire (e.g. "Oh, look at her just slippin' away in those socks!")
3. [out of a meeting, room, house, etc.]
4. She's losing her mind.
I don't doubt that quadruple entendres will pop up in my brain sometime soon, and I bet I'll be thinking of more so I'll just add them as I go. I hope all you out there try to think of your own, it's quite amusing.

Smile
So another day goes past and I have realized that saving everything till the last minute the day before you plan to go to Mexico may not be the best idea. But I wont let you down, so I may have picked an easy one, SMILE!, but that was somewhat of a challenge for a person afraid of flying. So I smiled anyways I lived up to it and had a big grin on my face all the while! But I do have something to smile about! It is less that 11 hours before I am on a plane departing to Mexico and I am ecstatic! There is a real reason to smile. So if you havent, smile, it can turn everything right around!
Keep Smiling

Boiling Ice Cream
AC Here, Wowee!!! What an experience. My kitchen smells heavenly like sugar and molasses! So Day 1 our task was to boil ice cream. Now half of my family is dairy free so I, AC decided to use Rice Dream Vanilla instead of your traditional ice cream. KJ will later tell you about her experience boiling traditional ice cream! Anyways, here goes mine! So it wasn't necessarily a science experiment but hey I thought I might give you some fast facts on the characteristic properties of rice ice cream. So I started out with 0 degrees Fahrenheit Rice Dream. I started to heat my ice cream with a medium high gas burner. When the ice cream had completely melted we had already reached 117 degrees Fahrenheit. Then I continued to stir the ice cream and came up with a full on boil at 200 degrees Fahrenheit. It was smelling good, turning into a brown almost candy like substance. This was an extremely fun way to start off the year, I wonder what would happen if you put the boiling substance into molds and tried to make candy? In any case I cant wait for what the next few days will bring!
Final Data-
Starting Temperature: 0 degrees Fahrenheit
Melting Point- 117 degrees Fahrenheit
Boiling Point- 200 degrees Fahrenheit
Final Data-
Starting Temperature: 0 degrees Fahrenheit
Melting Point- 117 degrees Fahrenheit
Boiling Point- 200 degrees Fahrenheit
Tata and Happy Ice Cream Boiling for now!
So, unlike AC, I was using cow's milk ice cream. Boiling it was also a different experience. I didn't think to stir it. So, it sat in the pot and started to melt immediately. the liquid spread across the bottom of the pan and started to smell like browned butter and sugar. The middle of the scoop of ice cream finally melted and the whole thing was bubbling at 190 degrees. By then, it wasn't just smelling like brown butter and sugar, but also like sugar cookies and vanilla pudding. Cleaning it up is a different story.
KJHappy New Year!
Happy New Year everyone, I hope you all had a fantastic time last night, I only stayed up until 4:40 but hey its something right? :) So starting off this New Years with some fun we are going to boil ice cream!
Blog to you all later!
KJ and AC
Blog to you all later!
