Peculiar Saturday

Very peculiar indeed. I didn't wake up until 11-ish, and I didn't come upstairs until noon-ish.

Yesterday I got a tiny cut on my finger. I think I had tried to move the kitchen faucet, and there's a little raised bit on the faucet that got my finger. Ouch.

Also yesterday, I did a lot of laundry. I washed not only clothes but also bedding and my pillow. Mom and I had a huge fight over the pillow because I washed it on it's own and it didn't drain properly, so it was dripping when I took it out. Mom assumed I was putting it in with other stuff. So she decided to put it in on the final spin cycle. Grr.

It got really fluffy, though! :)

Did I mention that YouTube is working now? It was being weird because they were doing updates. The strangest thing, though, is that Dad didn't have any trouble with YouTube. Huh.

So, I'm really enjoying We're Going to See The Beatles!. I've taken a break from A Freewheelin' Time, because it's a bit of a difficult read sometimes. I really haven't been reading much fiction, actually. I reserved New Moon, though. I hope it's better than Twilight.

That reminds me, I made another avatar that mocks Edward Cullen! It reads: "My dog demon is hotter than your VAMPIRE!!!" I would've included a photo of Sesshomaru, but I can't figure out how to use Photoshop :p

I think I'll go watch InuYasha on YouTube :)

101 things about me

...Okay, so I borrowed this list idea from Sarah :p It's one more list that has blog-hopped!

Here's a list of things about me, some of which you might know, some of which you might not know.

1. When I was a little kid, I had to have a baby tooth removed because it was abscessed, or something like that.

2. Also when I was little, we used to go to the same Swiss Chalet location, every time. It was next to The Keg, and I think there's a car dealership on the other side. The Swiss Chalet that was there is gone now, and there's a Turtle Jack's there. I don't like Turtle Jack's myself... too noisy.

3. When we went to that Swiss Chalet location, I would eat the parsley garnish off my plate, and I almost always got a kids' Shirley Temple to drink.

4. While all the InuYasha fan-girls probably find InuYasha and Miroku cute, I actually prefer InuYasha's grumpy half-brother, Sesshomaru :p

5. As long as I can remember, we've always had a dog.

6. The farthest I've traveled was to Buffalo.

7. I used to daydream about going on a roadtrip with my friends, even though I don't have my license yet. I would still like to go on a roadtrip, actually. I just wouldn't take Erica. I'd probably take Holly, Max, and maybe Micaela and Riley. And Victoria if she can. And maybe my cousins Justin and Breanne. Wow, that's a lot of people!

8. I've been homeschooled since I was six.

9. I was one of the few girls in my year at Brownies who wore the brown uniform dress. Most of the other girls wore the t-shirt and pants or the sweatshirt and sweatpants.

10. When we go to this awesome seafood restaurant, I usually eat the lemon slice that comes with the seafood. I usually order either calamari or clamstrips, and an iced tea.

11. I hate polynomials.

12. I didn't complete Girl Guides. The group I was in was so small, and the badge work wasn't organised well, so my mom decided that I wasn't going back for my second year.

13. I'm actually considering joining one of the Senior Branches in Guiding.

14. I went fencing with the youth group once, back when Max was still coming. During the fencing lesson, Glynis and I had to sit and watch two other people fencing, and we talked about clothes. I told her about my black t-shirt mysteriously disappearing.

15. I used to have a necklace which had a metal dragon wrapped around a marble, but I had to give it to my brother. It had been in my sister's stuff, and when she left, I was wearing it, and my brother claimed it was his. I later bought a similar necklace, though.

16. I've blown out my left speaker :p

17. I have the first book in the Song of the Lioness Quartet, the Immortals Quartet, the Protector of the Small series and the Circle of Magic series, all by Tamora Pierce.



...I'll finish this list later :p

Time for some awesomeness, people :)

1. YouTube is liking me again. It turns out that they were doing updates, which is why it thought that my Flash was out of date or my JavaScript was turned off.

2. I think I have my new library card memorized. Although I find it pointless that they gave me a 'teen card' when I'll have to get an adult card next year.

3. Coldplay's gonna be on Saturday Night Live this week!!!!

4. I'm doing NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) this year, starting on November 1st.

5. I sent an e-mail to the Knit.1 staff asking when the next issue would be out, and I got a reply - they said that it will be out on December 16th.

6. I think we're having chicken wings for dinner, but I'm not sure. My parents bought chicken wings today.

7. My parents also bought chips today.

8. While my parents were out doing grocery shopping, I read We're Going to See The Beatles! and drank a huge mug of hot chocolate. And then I started drinking some Dr Pepper. I didn't finish the whole can yet, I figured I'd put it in the fridge so that my teeth won't get too rotten :p

9. I just remembered that Ugly Betty is on tonight!!!

10. I think I'll make a funky scarf for Breanne for Christmas.

Dental crap

Why oh why did I have to get the cursed teeth???

It all began when I was about five or six, and I had to have a baby tooth taken out because it was absessed. And then I had to start seeing my orthodontist when I was eight or so. First I had a palette (pallate?) spreader. I think headgear came after that. The same time I had headgear I also had a lip bumper, which I think was supposed to keep the pressure of my bottom lip off my bottom teeth. Braces came next, and I can't remember when I was taken off headgear and the lip bumper. Braces came off, to be replaced by retainers.

Sometime during the 'Headgear and Limp Bumper but no braces yet' days, I fell down the stairs. This was shortly before my tenth birthday. One of my adult front teeth came out, and it got put back in the same night, and the dentist who put the tooth back in glued a piece of wire on my teeth to protect the tooth that was put back in. And then I had to have a root canal done on that tooth by one of the nastiest endodontists EVER. I think he was an 'endodontist' or something like that. Braces went on my teeth (which Dr Grumpy wasn't happy about). Braces came off and the retainers came on. Fun, fun, fun. Fast-forward a few years and I'm visiting Dr G, because I told our family dentist, Dr B, that the tooth was turning a strange colour at the base. Dr G told me that the tooth had to be removed, and an implat would have to be put it. In January of this year, the tooth was removed, and I'm currently wearing a fake, removable tooth called a flipper. And now the post for my permanent fake tooth is going in this coming January, the beginning of 2009.

They give me a sedative to take an hour before each procedure.

I hope they give me a lot of drugs. As many and as much as legally possible.

...I sound like the main character from Waitress.

Oh, and one more thing...

For some weird reason, YouTube doesn't like me. I seriously don't get it. It says that I eitehr have my JavaScript turned off or my Flash is out of date. But when i view YouTube videos on other sites, they work. And when I viewed a Broadcaster video, it worked.

:)

Blah-ness

I shouldn't have downloaded Firefox. I already hate it. I hate how the bookmarks are so stupid. I like having a sidebar for bookmarks. It's so much easier than having to use a frickin' dropdown menu. I don't care if it's fast, and easy, I HATE FIREFOX.

I think I'm gonna use this ancient version of Interenet Explorer until it isn't compatible anymore :)

And yeah, I know I wanted to download it, but now I'm seriously wondering if I should delete it. I have it as my default, but so far it isn't conflicting with IE, so that's good. But I still hate Firefox.

Youth group wasn't bad. Stone and Riley were throwing stuff, but as long as they aren't hurting themselves or others, I don't have much of a problem with it. Riley's pretty cool. Emma and Micaela were there, too.

They're crummy photos, but hey, they're photos!

First, some Patons Be Mine in colourway 'Cuddly Blue'


Be Mine blue

And now some Be Mine in 'Lovely Lilac'


Be Mine lilac

Some S.R. Kertzer On Your Toes 4-ply in 'Carousel'

And finally, some Patons Pearl Twist. I don't know the name of the colourway.


Patons Pearl Twist green

I bought the Be Mine and the On Your Toes at Len's with the 'Angela Money'. The Be Mine was on sale, and I found out that it's discontinued.
