2. I read the book The Sea of Monsters in which the characters refer to Pegasuses as "chicken ponies!!!" You should read it! Especially if you like sheep.
3. I love to play in little, plastic, animal shaped, sand boxes with toy Tonka dump trucks. Those things are just so cool and bring back fond memories!
4. Finding Nemo, The Simpson Movie, and Get Smart are my favorite movies of all time so far. I watched Finding Nemo 22 times, literally.
5. A year ago I made silly clay-mation shorts with Play-Doh. The first one was called Grimmy Goes to Work in which the Grim Reaper gets fired and applys for a job at HP.
6. My favorite fish in all of the sea (or actually aquariums) is Kenneth the XIII or 13th. He's kept in my room in a pile of travel junk so he has stuff to look at. He's very happy and just got his tank cleaned because it had a film on the surface of the water. Yuck!
7. I just learned how to do the Rubik's cube a while ago. Yippy! It's easy once you get the rhythm of it.
8. I love to read books though I never go to the library. Barnes and Noble is my 2nd home.
9. The Seems is my favorite book of all time. It has a great set of characters and a lot of wonderful ideas to go off of. It's a sci-fi crossed with a fantasy.
10. I like to build with Legos. The Ferry is my favorite one! It's huge, complete with drawbridge.
11. I've traveled to six countries in Europe and have been to Hawaii 5 times. Hammocks are fantastic!
12. I climb around in my fascinating ditch behind my house every winter. The walls are all snowy it's very cool, there is even a tree house half way to where it ends! I feel like I'm Indiana Jones.
13. Is my favorite number! It's unlucky which makes that much cooler! Especially when they're Fridays! Which there is one coming up soon too! Joy!
14. I'm attracted to colorful things. I buy lots of the exact same unnecessary thing just because it is in a different neon rainbow color.
15. I love to watch Mr.Bean, a British comedy series by Roan Atkinson. He i s hilarious! Most of it is visual. But ALL of it is pure comedic gold! You should check it out! (Just at the top to the left.)
16. I have 2 cats. Their names are Peat and Charles. Peat is the fattest Mancoon cat in the history of the whole world! Charles is very sweet and follows you everywhere. Plus, when you chase him he gets scared and lays down immediately. Save for the one on the right.
17. I enjoy going sledding in the winter. There is a big hill next to my house that is very convenient for winter activities of the sledding variety. Plus my ditch freezes over and I explore everywhere on it's icy surface. I feel like I'm climbing Everest or K2 because it has a huge snow wall and a ton of cool places to go to.
18. Blankets fascinate me. Also everything fluffy. I like to get all my blankets out of the closet, all of the pillows in the house, and every stuffed animal in my possession, all into one massive redevouse/correlation and make a play out of them. Yep, if you have a spare life, can I have it?
Thank you auto-save for saving , my work every 5 seconds!
19. You'd be surprised about how much I like music and singing it. Happy Together, Olyoxenfree, and Sweet Dreams, are my favorite songs of all time. Plus The Simpson's theme and the Ice Age theme are nice too.
20. Bubble wrap is the best packing material/easily distracted people pass time! All the little pops make fun for hours. The big ones and packing peanuts are nice too.
21. My favorite words to say: Kibble, Kumquat, Viceshious, Mango, Sopapilla, Curly Q, Guatemala, Pickle, Fruit Loop, Wackjob, Nutcase, Giddy, Wiggle, Nifty, Lima Bean, Convenient, fluc-shoo-ate (sp) and Purple. Some that I LOVE are missing 'cause I'm pullin' a blank.
22. We are re-doing our living room right now, so that translates into my love of modern design. I love modern design! It's gonna be really cool, complete with BIG (or it better be) Plasma screen television and secret room. (more like hole)
23. I like to draw. I've drawn a bunch of cute dessert objects with big eyes, a mountain scene that won a contest, and a shrimp on a sticky-note on the wall, so that i can point to the wall and say: "Omygosh, there's a shrimp on the wall!"
24. I used to have 2 guinea pigs. Butterscotch and Fluffy were their names. Fluff had (dare I say it?)
poop ( I said it) problems because her poop got tangled in her long hair. Plus Butterscotch had guinea pig morbidly obeseness. She would be 6 inches around when she walked, then, once she sat down her front would slide to the back and she'd be 10 inches around. (No kidding) They sat and pooped in a corner during "exercise time."
Thanks for listening to 24, if you are reading this. Last, 25, is just below. Sorry it's long.
25. I can't get enough of the outdoors! I love to hike, bike ride, swim, run, and just explore! During Eco Week in Pingree Park I hiked up Mummy pass! It was beautiful! Mountains! Biking is a must for me! I got a new one this year and conquered a steep slope of 15 feet with it! Swimming and running come naturally to me! I love track! I got first in the triple jump out of 25 people with 25.7 feet, and first and second on the 50 and100 meters at the district track meet! Like before, my ditch is a great, adventurous place for me. And last I poggoed 1002, one thousand, two, times on a poggoed stick in California with my younger cousin Tessa! I take great pride in the last one. Better start to beat it! 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-12-13-14-15-16-118-19-20.........996-997-998-999-whoops! Crash! Do'h! 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9...................................................................

Dane, don't forget to use spell-check when blogging. I noticed that "i" is not capitalized in #8.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking there has to be a way for you to save your unfinished blogs before publishing them!? Since it is 25 random things, you should have all 25 done before you publish it on your blog.
BTW...you are off to a great start. I love that Kenneth is your favorite fish of all time. He's a great fish, no doubt!
Dane, this was a wonderful blog. Such a great way to remember the things that you cherish in your life at this snapshot in time. I forgot to tell Susy about the pogo stick record and that you can do Rubik's cube! So I am having her read about it now. So cool that you really love the ditch and hill behind our house for sledding. Those features are one of the reasons we bought the lot for our house because they reminded me of my childhood in Montana and I wanted you to have the same experience.
ReplyDeleteDane, I really enjoyed reading the 25 random things about you. Have you read Henfree's list yet? I am working on one for myself. Do you have any suggestions, and can you show me how to solve a Rubix cube, please? PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE???? I would appreciate it, because I would rather have you tach me than Gage or Tyler. Thanks, and sorry this is so long.
ReplyDeleteWow. Just plain wow. Dane this is,very interesting! It is very enjoyable! Hey, can you teach me some secrets about the Rubix cube too? Just asking.
ReplyDeleteWait a minute......Did I show you the Silent Hill 2:CE? I think I did. Anywho, great blog! :)
