There's a Mouse in my House!!!

Okay, last night or early this morning, however you wanna call it.. It was 3am, about the time I usually do the dishes... Why cuz I am weird. Anywho that is besides the point.

So I was doing the dishes when out of the corner of my eye I see something move from the fridge to the stove. It was dark in color and bigger than a bug and ew... It was a frelling mouse!!! I was hence forward freaked. We tried to get Oreo to find it. But he can only play with stuff he sees and the mouse was well hidden. I spent the rest of the time in the kitchen washing dishes with one eye. The other stared at the floor the mouse crossed.

There is only a few good mice in this world. Mickey Mouse... Mighty Mouse.... Speedy Gonzales... Jerry.... and of course the clicking mouse...

A Different Kind of Series of Unfortunate Events

We revisit our fair princess. Actually, she's not fair. She is brown, cuz she is Mexican.... Anyway, we revisit our lovely, yeah there we go, lovely princess. No prince, but with friends like the Mighty Kumquaticus at her side, who needs 'em! Yes all is well. For Kumquaticus whisked her away to a not so far off land, where the adventures began.

Our two young, beautiful, talented, funny, and absolutely brilliant adventurers... Hey, I gotta throw in the copliments where I can, after all it is about me and my fwend. Anywho, again, our two adventurers made their way to a favorite retreat of theirs. They took the Mighty Kumquaticus' spacecraft. Yeah I know, the other tales had the princess on a noble steed... But Kumquaticus had air conditioning and a CD player, so it had to be advanced technology.. It must have been a space ship, cuz that's the only logical answer.

They came upon the dreaded Round About... A terrible and horrifying traffic circle, but don't worry kiddies... Don't get scared.. It isn't as bad as say the Frightening Round Abouts of that scary town of TJ. Kumquaticus braved it well. And to our relief, there was a secret passageway to swiftly pass by unharmed.

The two adventurers talked of many things. One of which was the future of the Mighty Kumquaticus. Yes, you've heard it from me first. She will soon be dubbed the Sheriff of Mervynham! She will right the wrongs of the department store realm and prevent the plague of the five-finger discounts! I am sure she will bring along her trusty sidekick, the Wonder Worm (her straw worm pal). It was exciting news and worthy of proclamation.

At long last, they reached their favorite retreat, Land of the Pizzookie. They were seved immediately, for the peasant their were sooo bored they leapt at the chance to serve someone. Refreshment was brought to them before they had even fully settled in for their continued discussions. We nodded our appreciation of these bored peasants.

It is a well known fact that the princess likes to mutilate her lemons and drown them in water, for the sheer enjoyment of torture and the lemony goodness it provides. It was on her second lemon, that the fateful event happened. The lemon never had a chance. It was beheaded withe a simple squeeze of her fingers. The top of the lemon flew across the room and rolled underneath a chair. Luckily, none of the peasants saw the horror.. But the two adventurers knew what had happened.

It was time to give the peasants what they wanted, payment for services rendered. The Mighty Kumquaticus pulled out the magic card and placed it in the slot. But the card refused to take the charge. A card that refused to do what it was born to do! It didn't want to take charge! It was a worrisome moment, but easily fixed. Kumquaticus with all her mightiness forced the card into its place.

Wishing to get cleaned up before returning to the world beyond the Pizzookie Sanctuary, they ventured off to the fountains of cleanliness. But it seemed there was a troll under the bridge, just waiting to strike out at all those wishing to access the waters. Oh wait, it wasn't a troll... It was a peasant crawling around below, for what, no one knows.

Granted access, the pair washed up. Each going for something to dry off, they encountered the Twiddledee and the Twiddledum of paper towel dispensers. Wave your hand in front of them and out comes some paper towel... But how much? One gave barely enough to dry a finger and one gave enough to dry a whole arm off. The oddity was too much to bear, so they left that place.

Adventures led them to shops, for what would two female adventurers be without shops. A grand shop of books would have and could have devoured them up... But they made it out, having spent only a small amount of their precious magic money.

They passed by the Vile Kohls Keep. A tyrant is known to spread rumors, hoping to incite riots and terror in the lands of Mervynham. He tricks the peasants of Mervynham to come and serve him in noble positions of honor, but find themselves as his slaves! The two adventurers passed by as quickly as possible.

We entered Mervynham and wandered its streets. Kumquaticus stopped at every turn with the princess nearly crashing into her each time. "Use your brake lights, lady," exclaimed the princess. They ventured into Shoe Country.. A pleasant enough place to find stray pairs of shoes.

"Does this match my dress?" And off we went to find it and see. But we were snared into a trap... Purse Plains caught our eyes. Nice plump purses roamed the land. So pretty were they, that Kumquaticus was easily swayed to take one home with her.

We were just about to leave when... What's this? Only one shoe? It was missing its mate! The Mighty Kumquaticus rescued it and reunited the pair. They would look nice in her castle, so she took them home with her.

No trip is ever over without a sweettooth run for a loved one. The princess had to find round sweet dough with holes in the middle for the lovely queen at home. They came across a baker who could make these magical goodies of goodness. But when they approached the shop, it was both open and closed. The doors were open, but the bars inside were locked... How odd. No matter, the donuts purchased, the two went on their way.

They found the land of the pets! Kumquaticus had a kitty to please with treats and in search we went. We stumbled upon sharks who were frightened of us! Well now, of course who wouldn't cower at our might... But they were sharks and they huddled in corners of their tanks like we meant to eat them. We left them to their shame and fear. It was all for the cat that we wanted.. Pet grass was next on the list. I wonder if it is like Pet Weed?

They were now heading home. It had been a long evening of adventures. And happily they made there way back to their respective castles. But first they faced the return trip through the dreaded Round About. It was much more dangerous going the other way.. But they made it through in one piece once more!

The princess' belongings gathered she shouted for the draw bridge to be openeed. She turned back and saw it... Rather heard it, cuz we all know our princess is a little blind especially with bright spaceship lights on. Someone was talking to the Mighty Kumquaticus.

The princess later found out what it was all about. It was a peacekeeper who had stopped Kumquaticus. He questioned her about being in this part of the realm... It was true the castle was in a virtual see of ruins and criminals ran rampant. He asked her if she had wheat on her plate... It was a Kansas plate, so naturally it should have wheat on it. Smiling and nodding, she endured the silliness.

Then the peacekeeper informed her of a local weed dealer in this part of Cheapside and that he would put an end to it once he found it. With that their exchange ended, and off she went to her own castle.

It was a long series of events... Long and strange and funny... A night neither would forget anytime soon... But maybe that is because it is now being blogged. One may never know.

brilliant! yet another creative triumph for my dear fwend! we shall have to venture out together again soon:D

Come, I vant to suck your blood... Bla, bla, bla!!!

I play this game. It started out as a game ya might play like 15 minutes a day tops. It is a very simple little online game that actually reminds me of those really old computer games. Click here, move here, drink blood. In which case all ya really did was axquire blood pints and coins from humans and a blood pint for every fellow vampmire you drank from. There are banks to stash your cash. Shops for weapons and gifts... Yes I said gifts, which I will explain later. Pubs to drink in and get the latest rumors from the barman. And guilds to learn new powers in. Now I was content to wander the city streets peacefully drinking the blood of humans and taking their coins. I did have the good sense to deposit my money whenever I came across a bank, or if I had a lot I would ask a human for directions. I was oblivious as to how to efficiently get to guilds and stuff or make good use of the vast amounts of coins I was acquiring. But then I was invited to join a clan. I learned A there is a whole RP side to the game taking place outside via yahoo groups and B there is sooo much more than going around and drinking blood. There are clans and clan wars. Binding of companions, hence the gifts of flowers or even a diamond ring. So now I RP in one of these groups (a training dojo for a clan) and have become quite a strong 'pire with many powers and much knowledge. Why am I writing about this silly game? Well, it is kinda the only thing I am thinking about today. And I am hoping to entise some of you to step into the dark alleyways with me and become my childer. Childer? Vampires sire childer. So come play the simple game with me. Or if the RP side appeals to you, maybe I can get you into my dojo. Click the link, allow me to bite you and bring you over to my side... Bla bla bla!!! Vampires! The Dark Alleyway Oh and just so ya have an idea of what the game looks like, here is a screenshot of a prank we players all got to see.

Oh, I am a genius!

So for those of you who don't know... I am going to a concert this Friday... My first real concert. I'm looking forward to it. We got tickets to see Cher, her second last tour. :P We ordered the tickets like within the 45 minutes it took to sell out. Both Mom and I sat there calling and checking online... It was insane! Then later that day we heard how fast they sold out. A couple days later, we get the tickets delivered by UPS. Mom told me to put them somewhere safe. I'm thinking safe? Right, cuz some burgler is going to raid our tiny apartment for our Cher tickets... But hey whatever.. I still have no idea what her idea of safe place is though. And she wanted me to keep it in the big ol' UPS envelope. That I don't get... I can probably keep track of it without the big ol' cardboard envelope. But whatever... Not knowing where to put it in my room, I just put it in the desk. Again, for those of you who haven't seen our place, we have one of those rolltop desks. The Desk

Anywho.... It went on unnoticed there off to the side in one of the few spare spots. One day I pulled 'em out to show Mom for some reason. Well, when I put them back. I guess I put them too close to the top. When ya open and closed it, that envelope just kept getting pushed further and further back until it was all the way shoved to that back compartment where only the rolling lid goes. Not cool. It took me about two hours to pull out two very yellow unused envelopes and one UPS envelope. How? I put first a pair of scissors in a bag with a draw string and then wrapped it with tape, sticky side out. When that stopped working, a ruler replaced the scissors. Shoving these back there, opening and closing the lid to smush the paper objects against the tape, then tugging on the draw string to pull out the bag, taped up object, and hopefully the tickets. My Tools

Thanks to my not paying attention, we nearly lost our very expensive Cher tickets... No refunds or replacements... On the other hand... Thanks to me and my creative ways, I got the tickets back out without having to tear apart a pretty nice desk... All the same, my hands hurt from trying to shove them in spaces they don't fit, the panic was not fun at all, and still I was told to place them some where safe AGAIN. Well, hopefully I did a better job this time.. And I am not gonna tell you all, cuz then you might send a burgler for my Cher tickets.

Can you escape?

So a friend of mine got me hooked or obsessed with these games/puzzles. But I was victorious! :D So now, I ask you all "Can you escape?" Okay, so these things have been around and some of you may have seen 'em before. But they are still fun. Created by Toshimitsu Takagi. Good luck! Blue Chamber Sorta seen as a prequel, as it came out after the other two but seems simpler. Crimson Room And if ya make it out of that one, here's the sequel: Viridian Room If it doesn't show up in english, just hit refresh. At least that worked for me. So I spent like two days trying to get out of these, but I made it and then proceeded to do a happy dance.. Okay, I didn't. But I did brag to my then only online friend about it... And I of course had shared these links with him, who proceeded to spread them to his sister... Everyone is just loving locking people up to see if they can escape.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

Every neighborhood has its one or maybe even two usual ice cream trucks/carts visiting on an almost daily basis. But how much ice cream can one neighborhood really eat? Since we've moved, we have noticed that this neighborhood can get ice cream or some other form of food just about every hour. Seriously, we have three ice cream trucks. And on most days we even have two food vendors with their carts. I guess this is a good place for business... Especially when, as we discovered, one of our neighbors seems to run out to each and every one of those vendors. Where does it all go? Now we moved here during the end of last summer, and I recall one week we really did want ice cream. Mom would tell me to go and get her some ice cream. Well now I didn't have shoes on, had to find the money... Too late, the truck left. I'd tell her it was okay, because we both knew there'd be another truck soon enough. And if we missed that one, again I'd say "there'll be another one." Even to this day at least I find it funny. So when my friend came over, I asked her if she wanted ice cream.. I was joking as I believe we had just snacked on something... She went with it, and said not now. I told her it was okay, cuz "there'll be another one in an hour." Then I told her, "and if ya don't want one then, there'll be another one in an hour after that." We continued playing games and sure enough an hour later, there was another ice cream truck. I got a "hey, you're right" and I laughted... Now I am going off of memory here and it is kinda late, so this proabably ain't exactly how it went. So ta ta, as I go mimi soon... Anyone want an ice cream before I go?

Not Ashamed

Jesus Test This is an easy test, you score 100 or zero. It's your choice. If you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow the directions. Jesus said, "if you are ashamed of Me, I will be ashamed of you before My Father." Not ashamed Pass this on . . . only if you mean it. Yes, I do Love God. He is my source of existence and Savior. He keeps me functioning each and everyday. Without Him, I will be nothing. Without Him, I am nothing but with Him "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Phil 4:13 This is the simplest test . . . If you Love God, and are not ashamed of all the marvelous things He has done for you. REPOST IT

What is your Battle Cry?

Okay, so I play many online games... many being 3.... And one of these games I get like these news letters from Yahoo Groups... In todays issue, there was this link to see what your battle cry was... Now as it came from the game I used what my character's name in that game, Kila, to create my favorite battle cry...

What Is Your Battle Cry?

Stalking along the tarmac, brandishing a burning branch, cometh Kila! And she gives a gutteral howl: "I'm going to forcibly reverse your gender!!"

Find out! Enter username: Are you a girl, or a guy ?

Christmas Light Hang-ups

It is a week til Christmas and my Christmas lights have yet to go up (and stay up successfully)... I've pretty much given up on the outdoor lights... Needed a ladder, which then means I need someone who is used to using said ladder safely or someone to catch me ifn I go up cuz we all know I think I am a freakin acrobat when it comes to decorating. I needed a special staple gun or special staples. The guy at the store looked at me like I was from Mars when I told him this... I guess he never had to hang lights. Okay, so I buy a special tape that will stick to the slick paint on our apartment walls to hang the indoor lights on the windows. I put them up yesterday, and they've fallen twice. For today, I think I will not worry about them.. Maybe I will try again on Monday and use them funny plastic hooks with nails, ya know the kind they use to hide cable cord along the walls. But then part of me still says, they will be up for only one week now. And we haven't even gotten our tree yet... Yeah, Christmas is not going to be the same at all. Not even certain we will have our usual Christmas Eve get together thing either.... Yeah I think I will stop now before I depress myself... Christmas music is soo going to play on now, cuz I need that cheer.....

Isa the Christmas Elf

Ever seen an elf on speed, ok maybe just an extreme sugar high? Well, look out lest ye be decorated for standing still too long. She comes in like a blur, singing Christmas Carols all by herself at the top of her lungs and carrying boxes and boxes of Christmas decorations. Taking time to plan and taking down anything that doesn't look right in her winter wonderland world. Turning her ordinary apartment into a little Santa's workshop. Tinsel and holly hung over anything that stands still. Ornaments and figurines placed with care and presicion on any surface that can be spared. And oh the jingling bells she wears will drive all nuts, but she loves to hear them ring. A Santa hat large enough to serve as scarf and hat in one or reindeer antlers with tiny bells to adorn her head. Why she even has mini bells for earings! Yes, yes, she is a Christmas Elf... or as SOME people call her the Christmas Nazi... but she denies that one. And oh, things must be done her way or get out of the way. Yes, she can drive even the most sane person mad with all the Christmas cheer. But for those who do not see her quite as often, she does manage to bring smiles to their faces with her Christmas cheer and she loves to do it! So if the friend ya once knew and loved seems a bit or extra odd this time of year, keep in mind she is trying to convert her apartment into a winter wonderland for this is her favorite time of year!

The Blues

Blue toilet water, can anyone tell me the appeal of blue toilet water? I mean scented toilet water I can understand, but why blue? And who made Blue Toilet water a possiblity for people everywhere? See now for me, white signifies clean. So where does blue fit in? Blue just disguises. But now they make these things by clorox to keep the toilet cleaner longer. And yet my mother still wanted blue water. Well actually she asked if they had other colors so it could match the decor in the bathroom. Yes, folks, she wondered if she could get green toilet water aside from using the toilet with blue water. Oy, I'd be scared if they made a rainbow of options for toilet water.

==============================

Comment(s):

ooooh, but blue is such a peaceful, serene color, like the deep blue sea. and u know that the water is clean cause its blue. unlike the ocean, which is brown a lot of the time. or brownish green. oh, and the other cool thing about having the blue water is that you really get more options. i mean yeah, u get green, but when you're feeling really special, u also get purple...

Parts are Parts

What if your nose wasn't on your face? What if your hands weren't at the ends of your arms? Have you ever wondered what we might look like if our parts were assembled differently? We'd be like giant Mr. Potatoheads. An arm sticking out of your back, your hands hanging off a knee. A nose at the tip of your chin and your ears on either shoulder. What would we look like if we took all our parts and scrambled them up? My mother and I used to play this game just for kicks. We'd point to a shoulder or arm or whatnot and say "what's this?" and the other would reply with some body part that totally does not belong. It was late night silliness, I know. But the funny looking humans we'd create were well worth the silliness. One of these days, I really should draw one of these funny looking people and their parts are parts.

My Stupid Cat

Well as ya may have noticed by one of my pics, I have a cat. Usually a very bright and bratty cat. Yes he rules this house and has us all granting him anything he wants. Us all, as if there were a whole staff of servants. It is just my mother and I who tend to his needs.

He is an indoor cat who dreams of being an indoor/outdoor cat with the freedom that comes with it. Alas, we do not live in a place where we can grant that wish. Plus there is some sort of flea infestation in the backyard that we'd like to keep him from. Oh, and he is not always as bright as he seems. Once at our old place, he actually ran up the wrong flight of stairs trying to go home. And even in that place, he only had supervised visits to the outside world.

Here, there is no balcony for him to spend his morning hours enjoying fresh air and sunlight. Here, he must enjoy sunlight through a screen door or at window sills. But still he tries to get out. He tries to make a run for the door once opened. And he has been working on a hole in the screen of a window for some time now. I first noticed him sticking his head outside the hole. We decided to block the hole with a heavy box we were certain he'd never move.

Well, tonight, he did. He not only moved the box out of the way, but he managed to sneak out that hole. Lord alone knows how long he was outside. He wanted so badly to play with one of the neighborhood cats that he was determined enough to move the box.

I heard sometime later the sound of him scratching at the screen. I went to shoo him away from making new holes or worsening old ones. But I did not see him, I got closer thinking I had missed him, and then I saw him. He was hanging from outside of the screen, trying to get in!

I went into mama rescue mode and attempted to remove the screen to get him back in. All the while, I was crying out something, probably a lot of "Oh shoot"s and "Stupid cat"s. Mom heard me and went to the door when she saw me putting on shoes. I told her to stay with the cat and I ran around the apartment building to go get him. When I got there, Mom was literally holding him to the screen and she was losing her grip. I quickly grabbed him and brought the fidgetting brat in, all the while calling him a stupid cat even though I love him. I actually was scolding him for scaring me and asked him didn't he know I love him as if he were a child who might answer.

My frantic motions freaked him out, but he was having a ball otherwise. I had to calm him down as he sensed me all frantic still. But he is fine now, and I too am fine and no longer shaky.

He has so lost his rights to my bedroom window unless he is supervised. That darn cat is running out of lives, I swear. Anyway, thus is the adventure of the Stupid Cat and his human mama.

Bubblewrap rules!

Bubblewrap Ok, who doesn't like poppin' bubblewrap? Even when opening gifts, part of me just want to play with the bubblewrap. I know it is sad, but oh so true. Anyway, try the link. It is funny. Watch out for that maniac mode. :P EDIT: Just figured this linking thing out, wee this is fun.
