Everyones intention when blogging (FTF Disney Villains)

Its pretty typical that if a blog doesn't have a real cause, and not that many followers, at some point they are going to make a blog about blogging.

They are probably going to use a bunch of weird similes that no one understands and say something like, "Blogging is like eating hot chocolate on a summers day."

Well, that would be an OK simile if they would explain it, but they never do, because they think that (1) after all this time of blogging, that you will know their thoughts by what they type. (2) they don't want to make it as plain that they are trying to say that blogging is a complete drag (3) or they want to seem like they are saying something smart sounding.

Thats most peoples intention when they say something confusing. They purposely confuse you so they can seem smart.

It usually works.

There are two kinds of people who open up blogs.

No bodies that want their "awesome" ideas to somehow be public.

And people who really have nothing better to do. They are always better because they just write stream of consciousness, which is always fun to read.

Anywho, favorite thing february.

10 points on how to become President of the World

Well, I said I would do 'how to become president of the world,' and I'm going to.

There are a couple of crucial things:

Before you run for President of the World, you must,

1. Have lots of cool friends and relatives (that was for you, two faithful followers)

2. You must have appreciation of the things of the earth. Fruits, vegetables (you don't have to like flowers or plants, but if you do, its extra credit, you can put it on your resume)

3. You must like doing some kind of athletic thing, swimming, gymnastics, skiing, lazing, good stuff like that. (if you like basketball and football and such, then thats extra credit also, feel free to put it also on your resume, but they probably won't care, because they will probably think that you are just boasting, because most people can play basketball, football, baseball. I mean, this is America? Aren't those like, "The American past time"? Yeah?)

4. You must like colorful stuff. Watermelons, crayons, tigers.

5. Coloring books are essential.

6. You have to have gotten real battle wounds from those terribly wonderful games like "The Hat Game," and "Take down" and "Red Rover". I have traumatic memories of that game. One of my hug cousins ran at me, when I was about seven, and I think I held, but it pretty much killed my wrist. I was out of the game, and my aunt got me ice and asked me, "Does it feel like a bone wound or a skin wound." I said skin because I really had no idea of what she meant. I was seven! My wrist hurt! Thats all that matters! Who cares what kind of wound it is, its red! Extra points if its bleeding!

7. You have to, at one point, own an exotic animal. When I say exotic, I mean not a dog or cat.

8. You have to know how to have a good time, and you can't be too critical. Good at exaggerating. But just too a point. No, you can't eat the earth. You couldn't even eat pluto. Or a quarter of the earth. Or even you're house. Or your car for that matter.

Well maybe your car.

9. You have to like sour candy. Have to.

10. You have to be awesome.

Well, I think I hit all of those nicely.

I'm the perfect candidate!

VOTE FOR ME!

Favorite Thing February Flop.

=(

Yes. I've flunked.

BUT to make up for my lack of posts (sorry, I've been really busy this weekend), I'm going to write all the ones I missed, because they are just too awesome to pass up.

Heres what I missed,

1. The color purple in all situations

2. Significance of the numbers in Harry Potter

and 3. How to become president, (what you've been waiting for, the only tips you'll ever need to know) I'm gonna do this one later.

Starting with purple. Purple is the color between red and blue. Though it is between red and blue, the boy and girl colors, it is considered a more feminine color, and when genderized (genderize - to give an object a gender. Example - "the letter 8 is a boy."), it is considered a girl.

Purple is the color of many things. clothes, books, furniture, accessories, walls, people.

There is also the song "Start Wearing Purple."

Lets not get into that.

Purple is also the color of the Luisburg Barracudas. Yes.

We won the finals.

Anyway, Significance of numbers in Harry Potter. You might think this is very random, and that only a true geek would look into this. Well, both of those are true. I am a true Harry Potter Nerd.

I was actually going to do, "The significance of the number 14," for the 14th, but really, theres nothing interesting about 14. "Uuuh...Its after 13?" Yeah. Lame. So I just guessed that you would all like it better if I did something truly interesting.

So I stumbled across this forum where there was a thread about "significance of numbers in the Harry Potter books," and it just about blue my mind away.

They opened with this,

Dumbledore's pocket watch had 12 hands. The number 12 is also "running bits". No. 12 Grimmauld Place, 12 Christmas trees in Great Hall, 12 OWLs, many important events happening at "midnight", Sirius being imprisoned for 12 years, etc., etc.

That's a lot of 12's to be more than just coincidence. Is there a significance to the number 12?Are there any other numbers that stand out as potentially significant?

The number 13 is also prevalent throughout the series.
-Trelawny's reluctance to sit down to Christmas dinner because it would make 13 and whenever 13 dine together, the first to rise is the first to die
-Harry recieved his first ever birthday card when he turned 13
-The "villain" of each book makes an appearance in chapter 13
-In OOTP, there were 13 people eating when Harry first had dinner at Grimmauld Place. Sirius was the first to rise. Guess who bit it.
Thirteen is not considered a very lucky number; quite the opposite, actually. Rowling doesn't seem to be going against this shared logic in her books either. With the exception of Harry getting his first birthday card, bad things tend to involve the number thirteen.

Well, the number 12 has to be significant in relation to something, not just anything. What I mean, is that the number 12 is mentioned a lot, and in different circumstances, yet the only way to figure out the significance is to match potential meanings of 12 (and there are a whole lot of them) with parts of the story. If the meaning of 12 resonates with the story, we might be able to make a case.

Personally, I feel like 12 is a very difficult one, because there are so many 12s:
12 Apostles
12 months in gregorian calendar
12 signs of the zodiac (both the western and the chinese)
Shia Islam awaits the 12th Imam
12 tribes of Israel
12 things on a dozen

hen, when I read OotP, I got so surprized!!!!
No. 12 Grimmauld Place !!!! 12 doors in the circular room of DoM!!!!
There were 12 Death Eaters who came to get the prophecy from Harry!!!

Harry's wand. The core contains his initials H P .Holly and Phoenix feather and is eleven inches which was his age when he bought it.

Nicholas Flamel died right before his 666th birthday.

We see the three and four a lot. The four houses with one founding father no longer in the foal. Three is company in the HP world. With Harry and friends and Draco and friends. I found this on runespoors which I thought was interesting.

From..
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
by Newt Scamander

Runespoors
Once a favorite pet of Dark Wizards. The runespoor has is a snake with three heads. Runespoors rarely live to a vast age, as each head contains an independent brain serving a different purpose, and they tend to attack each other. The right head is the planner, the middle head is the dreamer, and the left head is the critic.

There are also twelve main subjects taught at Hogwarts:
1. Ancient Runes
2. Arithmancy
3. Astronomy
4. Care of Magical Creatures
5. Charms
6. Defense Against the Dark Arts
7. Divination
8. Herbology
9. History of Magic
10. Muggle Studies
11. Potions
12. Transfiguration

Yes, there were 12 doors and 12 death eaters at DoM.

JKR sometimes use the word "dozen" instead of 12. I don't know if it is intentional or unintentional.
Any other 12?
Book 1: DD uses "Outputters" for 12 lamps in Privet Drive.
Book 3: Aunt Marge has 12 bulldogs.
Book 3: Harry and Hermione travels with Time-Turner and must return by the time clock strikes 12 (midnight).
Book 4: Yule Ball, there were 12 tables in the Great Hall.
Book 5: Harry's disciplinary hearing was Aug. 12.
Platform 9 and 3/4:
People say that 12 x 3/4 =9
Why does JKR like 12??? I really want to know.

Also note that 6-2-4-4-2 spells magic on the phone, all parts of 12. I've noticed 7s too, but don't remember where. How many of the order flew Harry to #12?

12 uses of Dragon's Blood - the 12th of which is oven cleaner

Harry gets a letter stuck in each of a dozen eggs in SS

12 foot mountain troll!

In COS when Fudge comes to take Hagrid to Azkaban, he mentions that the order has the signatures of all 12 governors.

Found some more "neat" numbers (I'm in the process of rereading GoF).
- Mrs. Weasley buys harry 12 rolls of parchment with his dress robes
- The Bulgarians want to add another 12 seats to the topbox
- There are 9 in the Weasley family (Ginny, Ron, Fred, George, Percy, Bill, Charlie, Mr. Weasley, Mrs. Weasley)
- 9 people go to Platform 9.75 to see them off (Ginny, Harry, Ron, Fred, George, Bill, Charlie, Mrs. Weasley, Hermione)
- The Beauxbatons Coat of Arms = 2 crossed wands emitting 3 stars each = 6 stars and 2 wands...6x2=12
I mention the 9s, because in LoTR Tolkein makes a Fellowship of 9 very deliberately. It's a good number for a fellowship.
Well, that's it for now. Certainly is fun to find these. :dance:
EDIT: forgot one. The sorting hat's song has 9 stanzas/verses(?) of 4 lines each = 36 lines which is a multiple of 12.

ss:"On Friday, no less than 12 letters arrived for Harry";"You're worth 12 of Malfoy"; Flitwick told me that I got 112% on my exam"
COS:"But when I was twelve I was just as much of a nobody as you are now.";"You'll be back with your dear Mudblood mother soon, Harry...She bought you twelve years of borrowed time..."
POA:::"Harry was trying to remember page twelve of his book: A charm to cure reluctant reversers";"the magical community lives in fear of a massacre like that of twelve years ago, when Black murdered thirteen people with a single curse."; Black was in Azkaban for 12 years; Buckbeak had a 12 foot wingspan
GOF:::"the bulgarians are insisting we add another twelve seats to the top box";the dementor in the maze was 12 feet tall

Wow these people are really nerds.

But its so cool!

Togethersy

Togethersy -pronounced Together z - The act of spending time in union, proximity, contact, or collision, as two or more people. Example: "how about we all watch Jungle Book together!"

Today, while discussing the fact that we had had Jungle Book from Netflix for almost a month, and how I didn't want to watch it by myself, if everyone was just going to be doing nothing, when someone suggested that the family watch the new Persuasion while I watch Jungle Book. Dads first thought was:

"...Well, thats not very togethersy...."

And mom added, "Well, everyone will be happy, and then we can send both Netflix movies back tomorrow, and get the next ones!"

So thats how it shall happen.

Its Sculpey day

Sculpey is the brand name for a type of polymer clay that can be molded and put into a conventional oven to harden, as opposed to typical modeling clays, which require a much hotter oven, such as a kiln.

I have a friend who is like the Sculpey Master.

She made a little frame for me that had watermelons as the border. The only thing that wasn't so cool was that it was a really weird picture of me in the frame, so I changed it to one of my "365 day Harry Potter Calender", the picture of Draco and his cronies in the third one, pretending to be dementors. =D

Probably the most amazing thing I've made with sculpey and kept is this watermelon slice....This one time I made this purple three legged monster with dreadlocks and a really awesomely huge mouth that ate all of the screaming people! But it got destroyed... Speaking of three legged monsters, I was in this clay class once, and my brother challenged me and this one kid to make a three legged monster. He made a weird dog thing with three legs, I made this lime green one with REAL clay once, and I still have it.

Well, time to be Un-Togethersy and watch Jungle Book by myself.

French Superheroes

An explanation:

Yesterday was the super bowl. Good enough excuse to forget about blogging.

There was actually a designated room for the "saints fans" at the place I watched it. It was actually more of a "Saints fan/no fair weather fans/no adults/everyone awesome" room.

We owned.

Anywho, its Ninja day!

"A ninja was a covert agent or mercenary of feudal Japan specializing in unorthodox arts of war. The functions of the ninja included espionage, sabotage, infiltration, and assassination, as well as open combat in certain situations. The ninja, with their underhanded tactics, were contrasted with the samurai, who were careful not to tarnish their reputable image.

Although shorter swords and daggers were used, the katana was probably the ninja's weapon of choice, and was sometimes carried on the back. The Katana had several uses beyond normal combat. In dark places, the scabbard could be extended out of the sword and used as a long probing device. The sword could also be laid against the wall, where the ninja could use the sword guard to gain an higher foothold. While straight swords were sued before the invention of the katana, the straight ninjato has no historical precedent.

A couple of days ago, I was feeling a little down with my current situation, (not being able to go to Percy Jackson at midnight, but it was soon cleared up) Amy wrote me a little one-page story all about... ME!

Me and my alter-ego superhero side, and all of my super awesome mega cool superhero friends. For a while now, I've had about...seven alter egos. I make them up according to my new talents (like when I pretended that I could yodel. that was a time I will never forget), my clothing, and my likes and dislikes.

It all started one day when me and Amy were working. I was bored, so I started talking about how I actually had an alter ego for everything! (last night I tried to tell my friend that I was actually a Ninja in disguise, because none of my evil villain enemies would suspect a little girl. What kind of ninja wants to have a little girl alter ego? boring! I told her I had a katana on my person, she didn't believe me. Her loss. She could have believed that she had a friend who was a ninja in hiding, who doesn't want that?) My first was my superhero self, Watermelon Woman, or Watermelonater, or Watermelon Michellon, or whatever name the moment called for. Then there was my super ninja self, Black Silence. Then, my French Zorro/batman ninja villian hero Laque Ilence. Then there was my Amazing Blue Haired One. Then Red neck ruby, and billy bob.

An excerpt from Amy's ingeniousness: "Once there was a girl named Michelle. She liked so many things that she couldn't eve get around to all of them if she talked about them for a month. But most of all, she liked to have fun. In fact, she liked having fun so much that she developed a superhero that she could turn into when she thought that people weren't having enough fun! She didn't have a name fore this alter ego or at least she never disclosed it, so people made up their own names for her. Usually they contained words like, "mega," "ultra," and "watermelon". Michelle's favorite deed as a superhero was to break into stuffy orphanages and liberate the children within. They would go out and go to the movies, or vandalize statues, or swim in rivers until the orphanage officials managed to round them all up. All the children loved Michelle because she sympathized with their plight."

"One day, Michelle was doing school (a pesky but essential part of her mild mannered civilian identity), when she decided that she missed her sister, who lived in France. Living in France must be pretty bleak, she thought. French people are all about romance and amore and nothing about fun, games, or adventure."

Amy gets a hundred Nice Points.

Sharks and Big Guns

I'm happy because my birthday is in eight days!

Yesterday, I had the terrible pleasure of stumbling upon MLIT, and I got severe depression, so I couldn't write a post yesterday.

Today is big gun day, such as tank guns, because evidently, big guns are my Favorite Thing... I think its not so much the guns, more the pictures of the guns and cool stuff getting blown up and such. =)

Nerf guns are kinda big too. And completely awesome.

Yesterday, I was supposed to write about sharks.

Trivial Answer!

"Sharks grow up to 50 feet!" Probably more, since I got that information from a little kids research site.

Killer whales still win all. But I guess they aren't really sharks. I always thought that the white patch was their eye, but I guess not...

Great White Sharks and Killer Whales are the two most common species of sharks to bring their entire body out of the water. Great White Sharks do it when catching prey, Killer Whales do it when they want to travel fast.

Great White sharks are the main species of shark that will kill and eat human beings. Most sharks will only do that if they are desperate.

-Michelle

Tigers!

Todays accomplishment: if I weren't doing No Facebook February, I would have been on there today, as my brains gruesomely seeped out of my ears. But I am doing No Facebook February, in the time that on any regular month I would have been on Facebook, I instead drew a mural on a big sheet of newsprint on the kitchen floor while I listened to the Wicked Soundtrack.

Amy painted too, but first she had to watch the second-to-last episode of the third season of Robin Hood and have a big emotional roller coaster and grumble about how everything was going wrong and how everyone was an idiot.

Every once and a while when I'm bored, I will sneak over Amy's shoulder when she is watching some random show on the lap top. I happened to sit down next to her on a very spoiler-filled episode of Robin Hood third season. I'm only on the first season. So I had nothing better to do so I was just watching over her shoulder, with no sound, and she said to me, "I'll tell you before there's a spoiler," Well, how could she do that, because shes never watched it before, so up stoles this spoiler (in black pleather, if you wanted to know), and Amy says to me, "Oh....whys he there???" While I scream at the top of my lungs and fall on the floor, dead, hitting my head and rolling around.

Why did I ever look over her shoulder? I'm never, never doing that again.

Anyway, today is tiger day.

Trivial answer! Tigers are one of the four "big cats", though lions are better known because of their amazing roar, tigers are the bigger and faster of the two.

They can be 3.3 meters long. 11 feet.

OH MY GOSH CRAZE!

Wow.

Give me a moment while I try to get over that.

Tigers just got ten times cooler. And bigger.

Ok well, there are a lot of cool pictures on wikipedia about Bengal tigers.

Thats all today, Kids, tomorrow I'll be back to tell you about SHARKS!

-Michelle

Hey doods!

I'm not a lamer. I know how to spell dood.

Trivial answer!

"Doctor Who is the longest running show of ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!"

Yes. It started in 1963!

That was before my parents were--

Wait, wait, never mind. No its not.

Did you know that so far (including Matt Smith) there have been eleven doctors? Two with the last name of Baker?

Wicked, I know!

Whoever thought up the whole, "Make him regenerate to a new actor so it can be the longest running show", thing is my hero.

Turns out its three people. I have three heroes!

I don't have much to say about this unless you want a thirty page paper on every character and every episode. Actually, I did make this "TARDIS FILES: Doctor Who, Who Are You: Encyclopedia to THE media" book for Amy for Christmas which was pretty sweet and awesome.

Trock? Timelord Rock? Chameleon Circuit.

Speaking of people like that, Hank Greens brother wrote Looking for Alaska? I refuse to believe. And if it is true, than I will read it, and I WILL like it. I'm determined.

(Speaking of reading, I'm reading the mysterious Benedict Society right about now and it pretty much rocks my eighties socks right offs.)

Well, the Twinsauri parents are going out of town this weekend and the Twinsauri are going to have a party (And no we are NOT going to go to red box again and argue about what movie we want, go to another one and argue for a while again and then finally pick one. THAT was a waste of time. I stand true to what I said at first, WE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE!) So my father just told me that "while we are gone you are going to have to keep the stove going, and I want you to never leave the stove with the bottom door open. I did that the other day and I had a fire going all the way up the chimney. Its super dangerous. Houses burn down like that. We don't want that."

*shaking with fear* "Oooooook dad...."

So anyway, thats all for Streams of Consciousness that I have today, come back tomorrow for a fresh round!

-Michelle

"Be Thou Contentest With What Thou Hasest."

Yeah, I told my mom I wanted an Ipod touch and she said to me, "Be thou contentest with what thou hasest."

I don't know if using "Olde English" was supposed to get the point across better, but it definitely did, because I laughed really hard and then I wrote it on my hand in sharpie so I could remember it.

Guess what today is? The First Official Day of Favorite Thing February!

And today I will be telling you all about....

FLIP FLOPS!

Flip Flops, also known as thongs, pluggers(UK), or jandals(Australia) are an open type of outdoor footwear, consisting of a flat sole held loosely on the foot by a Y shaped strap, passes between the first and second toes and around either side of the foot. Unlike sandals, flip-flops do not secure the ankle.

They come in many shapes and sizes, colors and consistencies (I had to think of some word that started with c that meaned something like texture). Flip flops are most popular because of how easy they are to slip on and off.

The shoes became popular as celebrities started wearing them and high end designers started producing them. They originally came from Brazil.

In Japan, tabi are a traditional sock with a slot for the band that goes between the first and second toe, which then became known as toe socks.

When I looked on Wikipedia, the biggest thing they talked about were health concerns.

Apparently, "Flip flops do not provide ankle support, and can cause many foot-related problems. Some flip flops have a spongy sole, so when the foot hits the ground, it rolls inward and the sponge allows it to roll even more than usual. This is known as overpronation and causes many problems in the foot. Each time a foot hits the ground, the arch is supposed to be locked to absorb shock, But during overpronation, the arch opens and releases this locking mechanism, leading to problems such as pain in the heel, the arch, the toes and in the forefoot. Overpronation of the foot also results in flat feet, especially if flip flops are worn throughout childhood."

I predict foot problems in America from my generation on.

I guess even little things like shoes can be bad for you. Lets just hope that when everyone figures that out, it won't be like when they figured out that smoking gave you lung cancer.

"Oh no! You let your kids wear flip flops? They have more than a fifty percent chance of getting Overpronation and dying young!" Then all those protective moms are going to go out with those big poster boards that say things like, "in 2010 100 thousand people got overpronation from wearing flip flops. IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU!" Maybe at some point they will make flip flops that support the arch. They'll be just as much of a hit as those electronic cigarettes!

Well, thats all for now, kids, I'll be back tomorrow, talking about something else amazing!

....stay tuned...?
