Flimibuff: Home Sweet Home

English class has become one of my favorite classes. There's some humor, some creativity, and some imagination. An example of how epic it is would be an example of Flimibuff.

Since we are to begin reading Lord of the Flies my english teacher decided to give us a project. Our project was that all of the students were stranded on a desert island. There were no adults since they fell out of the plane and died or something like that. We had to come up with things like a slogan, flag, anthem, food source, map of the island, entertainment, clothing, a language, a constitution/government system, currency and so on and so forth. So really we had to create a unique civilization to Flimibuff.

Well, culturing our civilization was interesting. It started with the fact that our flag was of a chef in a curly black wig, who was buff, and wearing an apron that read '#1 Chef'. It's a wonderful flag, I know. Our slogan was 'A couard dies 1,000 deaths. A soldier dies but once." A seal was litteraly a seal with a beach ball, it doesn't get more original than that. Our anthem was Heat of the Moment by Asia...not quite sure why...

Our food source was chocolate chips, since they are apparently grown on Flimibuff. Our language was adding 'uff' to the end of every adjective. It was a very uniqueuff idea, no? We had a constitution and elected a leader and eventually voted someone off the island and fed her to the sharks since our Constitution never said we couldn't.

All in all, it was one of the best english classes. Ever.

Artificial...Cranberries?

Cranberry juice. You'd think that it contains juice, right? Wrong. It turns out that some cranberry juice is artificial, believe it or not.

I had been talking with a few of my friends when the topic of cranberry juice came up and apparently there is a such thing of cranberry juice that has no juice. This started an extemely dynamic discussion on the artificialness of cranberries.

So I have posted this as a warning, keep your eye out for artificial cranberry juice : )

Wigs: Atractive Head Pieces or Lice Bearing Monsters?

Wigs. I'm going to be honest, the majority of the time, I find them a tad bit rediculous. Just a tad. But other than that, they are extremely amusing. An example? Seeing my friend put on a wig found on a rack in the drama room. Where this wig came from, we have not a clue. But that was the least of our worries. The overlying theme here is that as ugly, terrifying, and fear provoking they can be, wigs have their moments.

After we had returned the extremely attractive wig to its original resting position on the rack, a thought hit us. That wig could have had lice. That's right, I said lice. Frankly we aren't that concerned since the wig was found in a school class room. It'd be a bit ironic if an item that was being encouraged by a teacher (a drama teacher in this case) could be harboring tiny vicious monsters.

So there you have it, a thought provoking paragraph with a story on the side : )

A Very Potter Musical

I was reading fanfiction today, as usual, when I stumbled across something shocking. Something that would change my world forever. Something that would cause me to never take a Harry Potter movie serious again. I had stumbled across...drum roll please...A Very Potter Musical. I was watching the first couple of episodes/parts when I stumbled across this.



After I watched this I decided that someday I want a guy to sing me the song that Harry sings to Ginny in the beginning. It's only the best love song ever. What girl wouldn't want a guy singing to them about taking her up to Winnipeg in Canada?

Windswept Ties Are Rediculous

I was on a mission. The fifth Harry Potter movie was calling my name. So what did I do? I went to the local Blockbuster of course. Sadly, The Order Of the Pheonix was checked out. So I found something else; 17 Again. I patiently waited in line until it was my turn to check out. So I get to the counter, the guy checks out the movie and says, unbeknownst to me, he needed to see ID or a membership card in order for the movie to be checked out. And of course, I happened to have neither. So I sent my sister out to go get my mom from the car. While I was waiting the guy at the counter started a casual conversation with a simple "how's it going?" to which I replied "pretty well. You?" then we began talking about Zac Effron. The guy at the counter was shocked to find that I didn't find him dreamy. We were then talking about Zac Effron's tie on the DVD cover. I told the guy that I honestly thought his tie was indeed rediculous. The tie was windswept after all. I guess though, if anyone could pull off wearing a windswept tie, it would be Zac Effron.

So there you have it. That was the tid bit from my day that was exciting. It's not much, I know. But like I've always said, it's the little things that count.

For Starters

What am I doing here you ask? Well, what's life without the little things? So that's what I'm going to share with you; the little things in life that add a little excitement, happiness, crazyness, absurdity, insanity, sadness, and anger. So there you have it.

Enjoy!
