So, I was at Wal-Mart today, walking around and being bored while Mom and siblings picked out pants for school, when I saw the awesomest thing ever.....
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle pajama pants!!!!
Of course I got them! I saw them at Hot Topic several months ago and wanted to buy them, but they were a whopping $20 and I didn't have that kind of money on me. But at wally's world they were only $14. yeah, I felt happy about it, so I bought them.
Now I have a TMNT t-shirt and pants! ^_^

Harry Potter
Again, it's been several....days. But I've been very busy with grueling trips to San Diego where I tested the salt concentration of the Pacific Ocean at Oceanside beach, and the capacity of the waves to carry a human on a boogeyboard from waist-deep water to the shore. I have to report that it is very probable for the waves to do that, it's just a matter of timing when the boogeyboarder hops on the crest. That's a little more tricky.
And the ocean is salty. Very salty.
Of course, I've seen Harry Potter 7-b (as I call it). I thoroughly enjoyed it although I wanted more Gringots and invisibility cloak. However, it reminded me of a very funny posting I found ages ago on mugglenet.com. So, in the goodness of my heart, I decided to post it on my blog. If anyone should know who it was that orginally wrote it, please let me know because I would love to give them the credit they deserved. It's awesome!!
50 Ways to Annoy Voldemort
(or 50 ways to considerably shorten your lifespan)
1.Ask him why he doesn't have such a cool scar
2. Ask him if he has any grey poupon
3. Wake him up by singing Aretha Franklin's "I will survive...."
4. Greet him in the morning with a sarcastic, "My sir, you look particularly menancing today."
5. Get a pair of finger puppets resembling himself and Harry Potter. Re-enact all of Harry's victories over him in a spectacularly childish way. Be sure to give them both squeaky voices
6. Smile during Death Eater meetings and say you taught him everything he knows
7. Chew bubblegum all the time. Should he address you, your only response will be a series of huge bubbles in succession, the last of which will burst everywhere and make a mess
8. Dance the funky chicken
9. Ask him when was the last time he took a bath
10. Pat him on the head and give him flowers when his plans are foiled yet again
11. If you ever need to say "like taking candy from a baby," be sure to add "Of course, SOME of us might find that harder than others." Stare pointedly at him
12. Play "knock and run" at his bedchamber door every night
13. Call him "The-Man-Who-Let-The-Boy-Live"
14. Ask why the Dark Mark couldn't look like something "more socially acceptable"
15. Insist that you have meet chunks of cheese with more cunning plans than his
16. Pinch him. Make sure he squeals
17. Be cheerful
18. When he tries to impress you with his powers, say, "Awwww, lookit! Voldie's got a twiggle!"
19. Try to teach him to play a mouth organ
20. Roll your eyes during plotting sessions and say things under your breath like, "You're the boss, boss" or "It's your funeral."
21. Teach him how to spit tobacco
22. Taunt him about his middle name. "Marvolo? What's that, a washing detergent?"
23. Keep a good behavior chart. Award points and give out gold stars
24. Magic-marker Potter style glasses on him while he sleeps
25. Apparate into and out of his room rapidly. Do this non-stop for one hour
26. Play cards with him. Tell him he has no poker face and how does he expect to rule supreme without one.
27. Let off party-poppers in his face whenever the urge strikes you
28. "Did you even have a girlfriend? EVER?"
29. Tell him he should really try the 12-step program for Evil Overlords-Evil Overlords Anonymous
30. Anytime he enters a room, insist on entering first and announcing him grandly
31. In these announcements, fake a trumpet noise and give him an equally fake drumroll
32. Exclaim sarcastically, "You're breakin' my little heart here, Dark One" whenever he starts to talk about what has caused him to become who he is
33. Encourage him to think "happy thoughts"
34. Ask him to give you written summaries of his sinister plots for revenge and war. Correct his spelling
35. Mock his choice of Quirrel as a host
36. Tell him you think a yoga class can cure him of "his wicked ways"
37. Get the song "Mr. Tamborine Man" stuck in his head
38. If he's having an evil-plotter's-block in one of his scheming sessions, wingardium leviosa a lightbulb to float above his head. Turn it on. Look offended when he gets angry and say, "I thought I was helping!"
39. Tell him constantly to stop repressing his anger
40. Buy him a stress ball
41. Hint that he is only a character in a book and will never triumph
42. Call him Tommy-boy
43. If you're feeling gutsy, call him Voldie-poo
44. Whack him in the arm and say "mosquito" every few minutes
45. Say he looked better under the turban
46. Eat his pet snake. Offer him some
47. Teach him to steeple his fingers, lean back, and say "Eeeeexcellent!"
48. Start drawing outlandish parallels between his life story and Star Wars. Talk at great length
49. Be generally in awe of him and never look away
50. Imperius his Death Eaters into a rousing chorus of "All Things Bright and Beautiful"
Whew! That took a while! I'll have you know, I found this after the fourth book was published but before the fifth one was released. Still makes me laugh....

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!!
Weeding sucks. It sucks like a bucket of ticks. Especially when you find the little prickly weeds that bite into you when you're least expecting it. . .like the Spanish Inquisition.
Then again, you cannot expect the Spanish Inquisition. They come at you like POW! and there's nothing you can do about it.
So, I was scrolling through the pictures I took on my mission and found this one. I have a tone more of these smoking ones, but this one's my favorite.
Yeah, that's about it for this post. I'm so proud of myself. Second time in one month!

Nihon ni ikou!
So, I realize I'm doing a super duper good job of staying up to date with my blog. I think it's been more than a month this time around since the last time I wrote. . .well, I'm pretty sure I mentioned going to Japan, so I'll just say that it was uber fun. Here are some pictures. Many of them are the cooler ones, mainly from Kyoto and Oosaka region.
This picture says to not feed the birds. . .because they will poop anywhere, including people's laundry.
This was funny. So, Chris and I were at Asakusa (located in Tokyo) and we kept being approached by Jr. High school kids who were on a school field trip from Hyogo-ken (Kobe region). They had an assignment where they had to interview a foreigner, get a picture taken with them, and then have the foreigner sign their paper. Well, I stand out with my blond hair and light skin, and Chris stands out with his height. So, we got stopped often by groups of boys and girls, and at one point got them to take a picture with our camera too. It was the first time I had ever autographed anything, and was hunted down and practically cornered.
We went to the Fushimi inari jinja (shrine) in Kyoto. As you can see by the pictures, you walk through more than a thousand torii gates. and i mean more than a thousand, because the path goes up and around the mountain. We walked/hiked it all and there were torii the entire way. It was really cool, and very pretty. The top picture is where the path splits, and you can to either way to end up at a little shrine; and from there you can hike around the mountain.
On Sunday, we went to Chris' bean area (his very first area for his 2-year mission career), Toyooka. We went to church there, got to meet and play with the members, and then high-tailed to the neighboring area for a baptism. This baptism was done in the ocean, more specifically a bay area. But it was a very neat experience. I had always seen a baptism done in a baptismal font in a church, so this was really neat. What was also amazing was that once the missionary (the one on the right) began to say the baptism prayer, everything became quiet. All the cars, boat, and ocean noises disappeared, and all you could hear was the prayer, the birds, and the wind blowing through the trees. It was a very calm and peaceful feeling and I felt very close to Heavenly Father. I'll never forget this. And that second picture is the three of us outside the Toyooka church. Happiness!
So, yep. That was my Japan trip. On top of seeing new sites, I had real takoyaki (octopus cooked in balls of dough), and onabe (veggies and meat cooked in a pot of yummy-flavored broth) and had real Kobe beef. good stuff. I have many more pictures, but so that the server doesn't get overloaded, I'll replace my lovely picture of the Turtles with pictures from the trip. I'll try to do it often but. . . .we'll see about that! MUAHAHAHAAAAA!!!
Until next time, catch ya later!

One month and two weeks later. . . .
hello everyone! I bet you all thought I was dead! Ha ha! I'm not! Well, not yet at least.
So a lot has happened since Spring Break. I survived April which includes finishing up two projects, several papers, and acing two tests. It also includes a rather uneventful but still enjoyable Easter Break, and taking a grueling exit exam from the Biology department. How did I do? No idea. I forgot the website that I took the test at, so I can't check my score. How did I do. Okay. I had a ton of questions about plant physiology, but at least I got the question about the lac operon! Thank you Dr. Karpel for drilling that into us!
So, May came along, and finals was relaxing. Then. . .I graduated! whoopee! I know you want to see pictures, but again I have to get them from Dad's computer, which means that it may be another week before you see them. But, being a graduate and about to embark on a search for a job and an apartment to room with the Elvish pirate gypsy, you can expect a lot more posts from me.
So, I will be gone for another week as I am going to NIHON!! yeah, I'm excited. I'll be sure to post some pictures of that too. Oh dear, I need to get my camera fixed! blah!
So, I want to put up some pictures of the best Ornithology lab ever, but again, that's somewhere else and so It's going to have to be another post. so sorry. I know many of you are itching to see what I am up to in my life. After all, this is supposed to be a blog about my many adventures. Oh dear, I'm really letting down the purpose of this aren't I?
I will get on that! No more lazy kitty! Wait, hold on. Let me uncross my fingers. Grrr. . .mmmrrrf. . .hm. They're stuck. Hold on. I know exactly how to fix this! *goes off to get a jackhammer*
Try to stay locked together after this fingers!! MUAHAHAHAHAAAA--drat! I need two hands to work a jackhammer. grrr. Well, I guess that means I'm not going to stop being a lazy kitty. Yes, that was a double negative. they come in handy every so often.
EXPLOSION!!!!
