It's Friday, holy cow. I thought it would never come, and I keep forgetting that it is, and then remembering and being like "YES. Phew."
Next week will probably be about the same. P: CRT testing on my one A-day that I don't have an AP test? Sheesh.

These are great. :D
I think I told Madison about the magical package I got recently from Smiths, but no one else.
Well. We got this colorful package, black with bright green polka dots and pink ends, but no label past that it was from Smiths. Oooh, mystery! :D My brother was all excited about opening it up too, so I let him open it with me.
Well, until we opened one side and an ad fell out. I was like, "Oh, I know what this is."
Pads and tampons, from this new brand called U.
Well... I was on Wajas and Tennis posted a rave about what...? Tampon commercials. Well, heck, I had to check them out and lol, it was U again.
I think you all need to watch them now too. x3

"This is a man's world. Men do things that are stupid." lol, I think this one was win, even if it's not a commercial. P: Slightly longer, anyways.

Well... it's a sure thing now.
I know I've mentioned to a few people that Raleigh disappeared last Wednesday. Well... today our neighbors found him and gave us a call. He was dead, lying in the creek.
Although we've had Raleigh for nearly thirteen years, it really isn't hitting me all that hard. We all knew he was dying, we all expected him to die earlier than he did. I've been reconciled to the idea for long enough that I guess now that it's actually happened, it isn't hitting me very hard. I've felt plenty of times that we should have just put him down. He had bad arthritis, tumors everywhere, was starting to go blind, and he was just, well... old. He's been dying for months: losing weight, sleeping more, eating less... but he's always seemed so happy despite that we've just been waiting for things to take their natural course.
Him drowning in a creek is definitely not the best way for him to pass away, but he's in a better place. And even though he's dead, I'm really glad we know that he is now, and have him back. We buried him over by Chester and Neil, and it's funny... where he was in the creek was right by the grave of his dad.
And just because I found it, a dead dog comic! :D Go cat go~ *tomato'd*

...yeah, that's smart.
So it's snake breeding season right now, and it is *so* sad/funny some of the posts that are turning up on the Corn Snakes forum I like to hang out on. Tons of people are suddenly freaking out and posting, "My female just laid eggs! I didn't know she was pregnant, what do I do?"
My favorite, I think, is this one person who said she had a male and female snake, but they were siblings so she didn't think they would breed. They did though, and now she's got eggs to deal with.
Um... I really don't think snakes care if they're related. If you have a male and female together (of any sort of animal really) during breeding season, they're gonna mate. It's kind of sad that some people don't realize that.
Heck, this isn't snake related, but it does have to do with animal mating stuff. We've been taking Bonnie and Spider over to our neighbors pasture to eat the last few days, and he has a big gelding (male horse that can't breed). Apparently Bonnie's in heat, because even though Fox can't mate with her, he was getting all excited and they spent the entire afternoon with their heads over the fence flirting with each other. xD
Obviously, animals do not care, no matter the restrictions we might expect them to have.

Extra lol
I'm sorry, I think this is my third post in one day. But I have just been... finding funny stuff, I guess. :P Funny to me, at least.
Though I think everyone ought to find this funny:
It's hard to even guess how many times I've had that "Watcha thinkin' about?" "Nothin'" conversation with my brothers. xD I can't really see my dad getting out his nothing box... but I'm sure he does. It's how he falls asleep watching tv every night, I suppose.
I'm good without one though.

Stuck in Norway
My Uncle Dale went on a business trip to Norway not long ago (he works for Microsoft, which apparently all comes from there... which makes sense I guess because Norway is excessively rich). He was supposed to come back last week but then... yeah, some volcano in Iceland exploded and no one's getting out of Europe.
We don't know when he's getting back. He has a flight rescheduled for Monday, but he doesn't think it'll actually leave. My mom wants to call up some cousins we have in Oslo (which is where Dale is), but then my dad reminded her that he's on a business trip, so Microsoft is paying for him, and he went in a group of fifteen. We can't just leave the rest of them out. :P
So that's not happening, but it doesn't really matter. The point of this blog is a conversation I had with Michelle (his daughter, she's like... 3). I was like, "So, you're dad's stuck in Norway. Do you know where Norway is?"
"Well... it's kinda by Heber, behind Africa, and maybe a little close to Aus-Aus...Ausatria."
Go world~

Pssssssh
So some guy just called because my brother signed up to get a job as an umpire for PG Rec (wtc this will be his second job when I haven't even had one... working for guys is so much easier Dx), presumably to hire him.
Nate wasn't there. He asked for my parents... nope, they're not here either. So he asked when would be a good time to call him. I was like, "Well, I don't know. I thought the family was going to my little sister's softball practice, but it's been like four hours and they aren't back. He could very well be dead."
The guy was like, "Uh... okay. I'll call back later."
xDDDD Highlight of my life.

Oy
ACT test today. It wasn't actually all that bad, past the science test, where we had 35 minutes to not only do 40 questions, but read through 7 (more like 25) experiments that the questions came from.
Kinda sad to have the science test be what I'm most worried about, but whatever.
What this blog is more about was the dream I had previous to the ACT, which had a slight bit of ACT issue-type things in it and I told Jessica I'd blog about it since she was there taking it too (what the heck Madison, you're a slacker).
Basically, it started out with this young couple, they'd just had a baby (I think because I'd watched The Office Pam's baby episodes that day), but they worked in some sort of lab thing making... like sports drinks, or energy drinks or something. Someone was asking them about making them and so they were answering, and every time they did I'd see this random clip of the questioner putting together his own sports drink.
So then he got that made and it got all popular and the main character couple thing were still at work. When they finally left they were headed down the hall (which looked oddly like it was from my old gradeschool) and this big ol' horde of zombies was coming down the other side, chasing a whole bunch of normal people.
When they got to the main entrance/exit doors, the zombies somehow got ahead and were blocking the way out so this big fight started that my couple were just trying to keep out of. Eventually they did end up knocked over and there were these zombies looming over them and they were terrified their brains were going to be eaten and their baby would die without them. They started pleading for their life to the zombie, and the zombie just looked at them and was like, "Why would I hurt you? You're one of us."
No, they weren't zombies, but they'd never drunk that mysterious sports drink from earlier. Suddenly it became apparent that the zombies were actually the good guys, and the 'normal' people were the bad ones. o.O Apparently everyone had been drinking this sports drink, and it had two side effects. One, they became zombies but were still good, or two, they looked normal but they were suddenly under the control of the sports drink-maker guy.
So the couple were all like, "Yeah! We're safe!" Despite all the bad guys all around them. Then they suddenly remembered they'd left the baby in some... I want to say freezer (what the heck, I know), but I think it was just someplace in the lab. So they got up and ran to get him, and then somehow got out and went home where they had a cool fence all covered in ivy. c:
Then I don't know where I came from, but suddenly I was there and realized that it was like 4pm and I'd been fighting these crazies and helping out the zombies instead of off taking the ACT test. Then I was all terrified and was sure my dad was going to kill me for wasting his $42 and then I thought about it some more and was like... "Wait a second, this a dream. I haven't missed it yet."
Realizing that made me decide I had better wake up, and it turned out my alarm was going off so... yay. I have made waking skills.
The end.
And while we're on the subject of zombies, you can watch the music video from Plants vs Zombies, which my brothers have been playing lots lately and is probably the reason I had a zombie dream, even if it was backward.
Clicky ;)

Just fun stuff c:
I was looking for an old and hilarious conversation about Twilight Torchic and Mew had and then added to our quotebook on Shalights, and in hunting through the pages for it, had like half an hour of straight up laughs and gigglesnorts, and I only got through, like, seven pages.
It is so win in there. 8D
So, I figured I'd post a link, although you get entertainment from it at your own risk. I'll warn you now, there is a fair amount of swearing (mostly from Mew :P) and some sex jokes, or just dirty stuff. In general, don't read anything by Chu (currently Sweet Moves and has a dancing pig avatar), he's just straight up vulgar and not funny.
For safest results, just read the quotes I list, but since I like dirty jokes (though I put a very wide line between vulgar and "dirty", so generally they'll just be silly, nothing really bad)too, you still will have to watch a bit. :P
But as long as all that doesn't scare you away, you will laugh. :D
Shalights Quotebook
Edit: Also, you can skip page 7 and the top half of page 8, it's just a whopping conversation between me and Chu, but Chu's an idiot so it basically doesn't work. Just all me trying to explain what I'm trying to say and him being like, "Make me muffins! D<"

Oh my sad, sad social skills.
Usually I get the mice I feed Aven free from BYU. Since my mom works there, it's pretty easy. xD
Apparently my parents have been shopping lately though, and filling the freezer with all sorts of stuff. Aven's bag of mice have disappeared. I hate leaving him without food for a week, even if, as a cold-blooded animal, it doesn't make that big a difference.
So I went on a quick trip to Petco to buy him a mouse.
Nearly every time I go to Petco, it's the same guy running the cash register. Mostly he just rings up my purchase (nearly always a mouse) without saying anything more than he needs to. Today, maybe because he was a little curious about how I hadn't been there in a couple months, and then there I was buying a mouse again, he asked me what exactly I was feeding.
I'm sliding my debit card, and don't even look up as I mumble, "A corn snake."
I love to talk about things I know about, and could use a good reputation from at least one person at Petco since I'd love to work there, and I think if I had even just actually looked at him he would have replied and we could have had a short, fun little conversation (because to me, discussing reptile feeding habits is fun ;P). Or at least he might have at least had the courage to reply, even just an, "Oh." Instead he was just quiet, and seemed particularly impatient for the receipt to print.
Of course I had realized my mistake, so I managed a friendly "thank you" before leaving, but it was awkward.
And now it's just been bugging me. I hate it when I blow openings like that (and I really feel like this sounds like I wanted to flirt with him or something, but mostly it's just me being selfish and wanting someone who might put in a good word about my resume... xP).
I need social skills. Dx
