Manda's forcing me to update this....

So it appears it's update time yet again.
You don't really care and you know it, why make me? /sigh
ANYWAY.

1.) EHMAHGAWD IT'S A WEEK FROM CHRISTMAS. And therefore like twoish until 2010. Dude...My brain hurts. It's way too hot to be this close to Christmas, I demand a replay.
2.) I miiiiiiiiiiight be going to Kentucky in about two days. Drew's family's going up again [they have a barn-like house up there, and they have this beat up trailer. They want to take the trailer home to sell it, but have to go up to make sure it's working first. Drew has to go because they want him to help drive. Naturally.] and I'm semi-invited. Drew begged to let me go, they said yes, my mommy seems okay with it....so it's all up to my daddy and we shall find out probably later today.
If I do, shall be leaving Friday around 2:00 p.m. and back sometime...roughly Tuesday. Drew's dad needs to be back to work on Wednesday, so yeahh. It'll be short, but nevertheless.
3.) My parents are stupid. Love them, but stupid. For some reason my dad feels the need to get us stuff for Christmas [when we're broke as Pinocchio smashed into a wall], and have us be surprised. [Santa thing's been out of the bag for a while, but last year we all picked out what we wanted, and they wouldn't let us have anything until Christmas. Which sucked. It also sucks picking what you're getting and getting them BEFORE Christmas, because Christmas is boring.] So we had to make lists. They know stuff we want, they get what they feel the need. Simple, see what happens.
4.) I maaay be starting my own little business. Can't tell you what I'd be selling just yet, considering it's some of your Christmas presents and surprises are fun [if not for your end, then for mine]. So once you get your stuff, you'll know what I'm on about. For now, details;
Everyone know how Mystery Google [Now called Mystery Seeker, but it's gay so I refuse to call it that] works? If not; It's set up just like the normal Google search engine, but instead of getting results for whatever YOU type in, you get the results for whatever the person BEFORE YOU typed. I.e.; Someone types 'batman'. You come on and type 'Cheetos'. You get the web results for batman, and the person after you gets Cheetos. Comprende? Pretty cool. There are a lot of people who do things they call 'missions'. I.e. 'Your mission is to draw a pink cow and send it to so-and-so email address.' [I didn't make it up, I got that and completed it, even though my cow looked more like a deformed rat.] It's random, but fairly entertaining.
For those of you Twilight - er, Lautner - obsessed, I once got a result that said 'Taylor Lautner [you're welcome]'. Yep.
But the point of this; My dad and Drew have been telling me to sell the things I'm making for a while. I didn't think it'd be worth it, since no one would bother. Decided to test it. I put a link to a picture, and asked people to check it out, and email me if they'd buy it for themselves or someone else. I got over 30 responses, [difficult when not everyone bothers, and you pretty much have to spam the message to get anything. Did that for a couple nights] only two of which said no, all the others said yes. One person said I should make backpacks and hats out of the same idea, another guy said slippers. One asked if they were durable, because he has a cat that likes to play destroy. A nice chunk of the people said they'd want to know if I decided to sell them. Two people told me about etsy.com, a place to sell all your homemade things.
SO, I think I might. I'll be doing it after Christmas sometime [not entirely sure when], but we shall see what happens.
5.) My dad's parents are coming to Florida in a month or so. Dad's convinced they won't stay here after the huge fail of a visit that was February. Mom thinks they will. I'm almost positive they will. Shoot me?
6.) Might be getting my ears pierced again relatively soonish. Put it on the Christmas list, but when mom asked me about some stuff on it, she didn't mention them. So I'm not sure if that's a 'fuck no' or a 'maybe'. /shrug Regardless, if it's not mentioned before or at Christmas, I'll have to beg. Can do.
7.) My sisters have been randomly searching the internet in hopes of finding books that are to be made into movies, and they're succeeding. No guarantees, so don't get your hopes up if you've read them and would like them to be put to the screen, since all that they've found are basically for 2011-2013, not sure about any 2010, but anyway, some of my highlights;
King Dork by Frank Portman. My all-time second favorite book. I'll be interested to see how they make this into a movie, if they do.
Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy. If they have the right people for it, and don't screw up directors and whatnot like they did for Twilight....this could be really, really awesome. Or it could suck.
Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr. Again not sure how they're going to do it, but this one was confirmed on the website for the book, and so I wouldn't hesitate too much to count on it being made. Should be interesting.
There are a few more my sisters are excited about, but seeing how I haven't read them...I care very little just yet, and don't really remember which ones they are....Forgive me. Do your own research.
8.) Also about the Kentucky thing that I forgot to mention and can't be bothered to make that section any longer than it already is; Contact. Not aliens kittens; Contact with YOU. FYI, I probably will have very little if any. I'll have my cell phone, but texting will be almost nonexistent due to the apparently extreme lack of a signal up there. They have 70 acres, what do you expect? Might get some on the days we're driving, but no guarantees. Basically, don't expect to hear much from me for a few days. If I can go, I'll send out an email and whatnot, explaining the whole thing, so don't worry about it until then. I won't be bringing my laptop since there's no internet connection unless we go to town while we're up there, and if we do I just won't bother. So yeah, if I can't text at all, consider me nonexistent for a bit.
9.) ....I think it's supposed to be basically 35 degrees up there. Yeahhh. I'ma need to pack warm.
10.) Even if I go, you all SHOULD have your Christmas gifts in time for Christmas. I finished one part, now I have to do the other one, which I'll hopefully have done today. My mommy said if I go and don't have it done, I can show her how I want it and she'll finish it for me, but I should be able to get it finished so she can mail them while I'm gone. So yeah. Expect 'em.

That's all I can think of. So shut up Panda. Mission Accomplished.

*~Manda~* said...

1) ... amazingly, however, it's slowed down remarkably for the past semester. Odd. xD

2) As I saw. x]

3) Archibald and Cornelius. Of course. XD How do your parents feel about roaches? x]

Meg said...

1.) Wonder why xD
2.) I see x]
3.) Put it this way; I'm the only one in my house who would be happy about it. Rachel's not too fond but not psycho, same with dad. If they escaped, mom would scream, Jackie might try to murder them. Especially seeing how living next to an orange grove, we get quite a few inside the house from time to time, and they've all honed their squishing skills. If there was one loose, they'd probably make no distinction between my pets and the outsiders T_T
4.) No it didn't, actually xD
5.) Well that makes the whole thing relatively more entertaining xD
7.) You fail x]
8.) I don't want it to be free, I want to go to Kentucky T_T
10.) Do that ;D All of 'em sent yesterday and on their way, SHOULD be there by Christmas, but no guarantees x]

*~Manda~* said...

1) Amazing, isn't it? XD
3) 'The outsiders'. xD Roaches are roaches, dude.
4) I think it did. ;D
5) Ohyes. :D
7) Indeed.
8) -shrug- Well, you can go chase it down if you want.
10) Oooh. @_@

Meg said...

1.) Oh of course. x]
3.) Doesn't make them less awesome 8D They'll be the ones to survive the apocalypse and I'd rather make friends with the ones who are going to live.
4.) You think wrong :D
8.) Considering they just left for KY, I think I'll wait.
10.) ;D Go look out the window for the next week.

*~Manda~* said...

3) Lmao how do you figure that?
4) Apff. You simply have a limited vocabulary.
8) Thought they weren't leaving till 2? :\
10) I'll just set up camp by the mailbox. XD

Meg said...

3.) Have you not seen Wall-E? XD
4.) Do not. Your's is just too unlimited.
8.) Originally. Then it changed to noon, then they wound up actually leaving at about 2 x]

Meg said...

10.) Good plan ;D

*~Manda~* said...

3) Unfortunately, no. x]
4) Nuh-uh.
8) Ahh. XD
10) Would be fool-proof if not for the rain. xD

Meg said...

Damn rain x]

*~Manda~* said...

Nahh, I loves it. ^_^ Granted, it will restrict my access to the mailbox, but still. XD

Meg said...

That right there is the only reason I'm disliking it ;D

*~Manda~* said...

I shall get out there anyway. x]

Meg said...
