SQUUEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

*insert fangirl squeal*

This ^ totally happened this morning. I am SO weird. But look! Look what happened!

The Spine totally (not actually) talked to me! I nearly fell out of my desk chair when I got on this morning and saw that.

Anyways, it was... Very cool. And I am definitely not bouncing up and down and taking screenshots. Never happened. (Don't ask my mom... {Or my sister...})

TIRED!

If you happened to be at the same wally world I was at the other night, and if you happened to see a large red dog dragging a girl across the parking lot.... That wasn't me... But it was an interesting sight, wasn't it?

In other news, I am bruised in some odd places.

All in all it was a good weekend.

Me? Or not?

So, I know LazyPhil is usually the one who has alien encounters, but I believe I may have been... TAKEN!!!!!!!!

I have found a spot on my arm that looks and feels suspiciously like I've been injected with something. (Although I can't remember the last time I was at the drs and actually had an injection.) I don't recall any bright lights or missing time, and I haven't had any nosebleeds for a while, so, I'm not sure exactly what they were doing. (Notice I didn't say "So, I'm not sure I was abducted.)

Like I have said before, I can't remember ever having been injected, so I really have nothing to base my theory on. Except for the fact that most of my siblings have been hospitalized/been to the dentist recently enough that I can remember their whiny complaints about the itchy, burning swelling spot on their inner elbow.

And I really, really can't explain it. Ya' know, sometimes LazyPhil just says she doesn't know where her odd cuts, bruises and writing come from, just for the reaction. (The rest of us are usually witness to the causes.) I really don't know. I'm a little, tiny bit worried.

It looks like it may be a bee sting, but it's late, I haven't been outside lately and I'm not sure how a bee could've stung me without me noticing. And, a bee sting wouldn't make my whole arm ache.

So now I'm not sure I'm me... Or, maybe I'm not sure she's not me... Or maybe I'm not sure if her conscious isn't invading my conscious... Or maybe I'm not sure that the Aliens don't think she's "used up", and have decided to move on to newer and more interesting prey. Hence, the title.

P.S. I had a nosebleed later... now I know I'v been abducted.

Birthday Post for my Bestie 'Cuz

At Bible study last Sunday we talked about really loving someone, and telling them that you do. This is the result of that very wise and insightful talk we got into. So, this goes out to my best friend and cousin, I wish you a wonderful year.

I don't need to be your friend, I want to be your friend.

If I needed to be your friend, there would be no choice on my part, it would be involuntary.

But I WANT to be your friend, which makes it a choice I have to make every day. Except, for me, it isn't a choice at all.

I have always been your friend, you have always been my friend, and we will ALWAYS be friends.

No matter what happens, no matter what life, in all its stupidness, throws at us, no matter where we move to, or how our lives change, we will always be best friends and cousins.

I don't need to love you, I want to love you.

If I needed to love you, there would be no choice on my part, it would be involuntary.

But I WANT to love you, which makes it a choice I have to make every day. Except, for me, it isn't a choice at all.

I have always loved you, you have always loved me, and we will ALWAYS love each other.

No matter what happens, no matter what life, in all its stupidness, throws at us, no matter where we move to, or how our lives change, we will always be best friends and cousins.

S.S.T.K.

Special Secret Us Knowledge.

Everyone is always coming up to one of us and asking questions. Many times we've joked that we must have a sticker on our forehead that says "Ask Me!! Let me drop all my problems so I can solve your problems!". Not that we mind in the least, its just that we don't really understand it.

Well, last night, LazyPhil and I figured it out. The "Special Secret Us Knowledge" is really just common sense, logic, reading and remembering what we read. I guess we just know a lot... well, ok, I guess my siblings know a lot, and people just ask me to be nice. :)
