new exsperiance

Today was family weekend and they all these different vendors here. I got my hand molded from wax. Oh My God was that a painful yet interesting process. First you have to stick your hand in a freezing cooler of ice water. You have to leave it there for like 3-5 min, basically till your hand feels like you have needles shooting through it. Then you have to stick it in very hot wax. Which you don't feel because your hand is so numb from the ice water. You dunk your hand about 20 times in the position you want it in. Then you dip it about 10 times in the colored wax you want. Then the guy loosened the wax around your hand. After that you had to put your hand back in ice water to make the wax go solid and remover the wax from your hand. Then ta da you have your wax mold of your had. See it was so cool i had to do it again.....hehe

HAHAHA

Well growing up I kinda accepted the fact that im a clutz...and i really accepted it when my doctor told me to get accident insurance for myself......but man I wish I would grow out of it.... hehe..... Tuesday I was walking down the stairs in the dorm with my laundry and guess what .........did you guess....I fell.... My bad right knee locked up and slide my foot forward so I hit a slippery spot on the stairs. So my foot slide backwards, which cause my bad left ankle(mind you that only has little less than half a ligament left in it) to flop out and lose my balance( which I dont have to begin with ) and down I went......so now I think I really badly pulled my thigh muscle because I can barely walk...and its worse today so tomorrow I defintaly need to go to the doctors. Its not fun walking 5 steps and have your leg give out on you and it looks like im gonna sit down. yeah very painful.....I guess its just another injury to add to my list....haha and thats one heck of a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong list....hahah If they were ranked worst injury this one might either go after the contusion tiba or torn ligament in my ankle.... and im careful I swear......HAHAHAHAHA

Will you be there for me?

Will you be there for me?

I remember the day when we first met,
The day you chose me as your pet.

You have fed and cleaned me and cared for me,
I have been a better friend than any human could be.

You have given me rides in the car and walks in the grass,
New chew toys and puppy class.

You have shared your dinner and shared your bed.
You have given me baths and put bows on my head.

I have watched over our family and guarded our yard.
It was my pleasure so it was not very hard.

I have been making you smile for many years.
I have kissed you face and tasted your tears.

Have you noticed lately how I have aged with grace?
I am getting clouds in my eyes and gray in my face.

It is harder to hear you and harder to see.
And sometimes I cannot make it outside to pee.

We both realized someday we would part.
But my memory can always stay young in your heart.

I have been the best friend I could possibly be,
So in the end will you be there for me?

I want you to choose when my passing is due,
And be there for me as I was for you.

Stroke my ears and tell me how good I have been,
And how we will see each other some day again.

I know how sad this day will be,
But, thank you my friend,
For being there for me.

My cat Gizmo.....

Gizmo was one of my first cats and he passed away June 14, 2006. He was 16 yrs old. I miss him alot... He was a very loving cat, who weighed 30lbs and lived a happy life. He was my baby and followed me everywheres. Sadly he lost all his teeth and couldnt eat much so I had to hand feed him when he wouldnt eat. He got really skinny his last few days alive. I was home alone the day he passed away and I was there when he took his last breath....the hardest thing I had to ever see.....

This is a video I made of him to remember him.

Just seen....

I just got back from seeing Burn After Reading. That movie was so dumb it was funny. Most of it I sat through saying what the fuck. Im still wondering how people come up with these ideas for movies like this one. Im not going to ruin the movie for anyone who hasnt seen it but its very funny but I wouldn't see it again.

My New Pet

I got a new pet last week and its a carnivore. Hmm trying to figure out what it is? Well its a Venus Fly Trap. I think they are facinating plants. I finally found a fly so I got to feed it yesterday. It will release a digestive enzyme and digest the fly. This takes about a week and then it dont have to be fed for another two weeks. Each trap only closes 4 time then it dies off and a new one will grow back but bigger. Right now mine are really tiny and has a few big ones but im closeing all the small traps so they will die off and bigger ones will come. When I was reading online about them they said to at least try sticking your finger in one to close it. So I did and its awesome. It dont hurt or anything it just cool how they use movement to close. They need to be really humid and need only a few hours of sunlight. When the traps turn red it means they had enough sun. During the winter they need to go dormat. I had a Venus Fly Trap before but I killed it when I tired to make it go dormat. Hopefully I can keep this one alive.

This is a picture of the trap that has a fly in it (the black part in the red trap) and a picture of the plant itself.

Smile!! :)

One of my favorite poems!!!

Smile

Smiling is contagious,

you catch it like the flu,

When someone smiled atme today,

I started smiling too.

I passed around the corner,

and someone saw my grin -

When he smiled I realized,

I'd passed it on to him.

I thought about that smile,

then I realized its worth,

A single smile, just like mine,

could travel round the earth.

So, if you feel a smile begin,

don't leave it undetected -

Let's start an epidemic quick

and get the world infected ! ! !

*Snow Art*

These are snow animals I have made every winter since 2001. I havent been able to make them the past few years because we have gotten way to much snow. From top left is a snowmobiler, a pig, guy with a dogsled and some some small dogs , sea serpant going across my front yard, and a rhino that froze over so it was in our yard weeks after all the other snow melted away. I also made a hippo, and a coca cola bear but cant find the pictures of them. The one that took me the longest was the rhino, because it took me over 8 hours to finish. I think this is art and I like making theses snow creatures because everyone gets to enjoy them when they drive by my house.

9-4-08 free writing assignment - object in a room

The room in my house I picked was the Kitchen. The object in the house that I remembered the most was the refrigerator. Its actually a funny story....
Back in high school, I was getting ready in the morning for school and I was getting something to eat for breakfast. Well as I leaned into the fridge to grab the milk for my cereal, of course my bad knee decided to give out and the force of my knee giving out flung me forward slamming my forehead into the bottom of the freezer door. I hit the freezer door so hard that I bounced off it and fell backwards. In the process of falling I never realized how close to the counter I was till I slammed the back of my head onto it and continued falling to the floor. To make matters worse my head just happened to land in the dogs water dish, as water went every wheres including drenching me in the process. My mom came running cause she heard the loud thud of me hitting everything including the floor and she seen me laying on the floor in the water laughing hysterically and asked me what had happened. well I told her and all she could say was your such a klutz. So every time I go to the fridge I always think of that and have to laugh a little.

A Little About Me.....

Well, where to start.... Im 20, this is my fourth year at canton and im busy chasing my dreams of being a zoo veterinary technician. Ever since I first went to a zoo I knew I wanted to work in one and work with all the different kind of animals. My ultimate favorite zoo animal is monkeys, but I love them all. I have 2 cats; Minowa, who is black and white and the one in my picture and Jazmin, who is a orange tiger kitty. My dog Daisy, who was a border collie just passed away the day I moved back into college. I used to bring Minowa to college with me but she is way to active for dorm life. haha I also love music and have been playing the clarinet for 10 years and teaching myself the violin for 4 years now. I love learning songs in American Sign Language on my spare time and scrapbooking. Im a person who loves to laugh and smile, there are rare times I am not doing either...im a little shy at first but once I get to know you im very talkative..thats pretty much me in a nut shell....
