Alas, I'm Still Here

Clearly, the apocolypse did not wreak the havoc I had previously assumed was imminent. No. It was strange because a short while after I had made the post previous to this one, I felt a strange sense of calm. It was pouring down rain and I knew they were gone. Something changed their minds. But the aliens haven't left. Who knows when they could change their minds again?

Anyway, I had a splendid weekend. Saturday at the horse farm/park with Jacob and Sunday at a state park with approximately half my alternate family (the ones who took me camping) and my little sister. We spent several hours floating/swimming/not-so-white-water rafting down the creek. My alternate father, Greg, caught a trout with his bare hands! He is just so cool. *insert knowing smile and snort here*

I caught 2 froggies and a toad. They were so cute. Then, the weekend ended with a school trip to Washington D.C. on Monday. It was a nice transition. The bus was completely uncomfortable and sort of sickening but we visited the Newseum which was a lot more interesting than I had planned on it being. Maybe I'll post some pictures once I get them off my camera. Then again, I always say that.

Tomorrow is Wednesday. I'm in need of some quotes to get me through the rest of the week. Here we go:

“Stay away from Brandon. He’s my man. But you’re probably not into black guys are you?”
-Mariah on me not being into black guys while I'm dating a black guy

“Chow down on that!”
-Daddy on no admission to a zoo in St. Louis/me on everything in the ten minutes of conversation after that

“Look, she’s being a jello!”
-Claire on my dog wiggling down a hill on her back

“*gasp* You have a sowing!”
-Claire on the stitches in her sister's knee (Claire is 11. She's also blonde.)

"Ashley is not human."
-Nolan on me getting an A on a spanish quiz

"To be fully human, one must be a dork."
-Mrs. Rae on dumbing down Emerson's previously impressive work

"No more cookies. They're bad for my pants."
-August on weight gain... of pants...

"You might end up where you don't want to go if you don't know where you're going."
-Mr. Mazz on confusing directions

"If we're all in this together, we can all make out."
-Mr. Killheffer on accidetal double entendre

"I don't believe in Ireland."
-Julia on lies the government tells us

"Yum. Knowledge."
-Alysia on eating calculators

"Wait. Your dad is a NUN???"
-Ryan on your celibate father

That's all I can think of right now. But I hope you enjoyed them. I know I did.

I think I'll start listing reason's to live. Today's reason to live is because the apocolyspe did not happen, YET. Party while you still can. Like it's 1999.

Word.
