The Camel Who Tried to Squeak.

I'm sorta, kinda, maybe bored. So I'm gonna write you a story, of what? I don't know, I'm just gonna make it up. Sorry if it sucks.

Once upon a time, there was a camel who lived in the zoo. He had a happy life, got fed everyday the finest camel food that a camel could eat. Groomed every morning so that he would look his best for the visitors. This camel's name is Regal. Regal had everything he could ever ask for, but only had one problem...Regal couldn't squeak.

It all started the day when the zoo got in a new shipment of toys for the gift shop. Cute little animal figurines that squeaked when you squeezed their sides (I'm not going to say where the squeak comes from, but I'm sure you'll figure it out). Anyways, Regal noticed that all the little kids who stopped by his pin, didn't pay attention to him, but to the squeak the toy made. This upset Regal because when people stopped by, he was that one getting all the attention, which he absolutely loved. Regal had to find a way to show up those horrible, attention stealer, toys.

Regal tried everything he could think of. He tried walking on his two front legs, but that wasn't to impressive for he was always landing on his face. He tried walking on his two back legs, but the elephant next door was already doing that. Spitting didn't work, who hasn't seen a spitting camel? He couldn't think of anything else, and then...the lightbulb came on. 'What if the kids saw a real animal squeak?' Regal thought.

As the zoo was closing, and all the animals were being tucked into bed, Regal started to practice his squeak. All night he stayed up not moving, trying to figure out a way to get himself to squeak.

At 9 a.m. the employees started to arrive. One employee walked by Regal's pin and took a second glance. He went up to the camel, and started to talk to him asking him what was wrong. Regal didn't understand, so pretended not to notice that this human was trying to communicate with him. At 10 a.m. Regal became excited, yet also nervous at the same time. This was the big day...the day he would squeak.

Regal noticed a field trip was going on, and thought that this would be the perfect opprotunity. He got in position and...

(use your imagination...did he squeak, or did his brilliant plan fail?)

A New Addition

It's so awesome because we finally got our pet. Her name is Sheila....She is a 2 month old Australian Sheperd. She is the cutest thing ever, and I get to brag about her! She's extremely hyper, but also loves to sleep, and sort of lazy.


But yeah...I'm happy.

Memoirs of ACA...

If you haven't already heard about the "Lost in Bithlo" movie, you just did. It's crazy.
Me, Chelsea, and Alysha had a camera and a load of hyperness which equals a masterpiece.
Check it out...

What Gender Is a Computer?

A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.
"House" for instance, is feminine: "la casa.""Pencil," however, is masculine: "el lapiz."
A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?"Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether "computer" should be a masculine or a feminine noun.

Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.The men's group decided that "computer" should definitely be of the feminine gender ("la computadora") because:

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;

2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;

3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and

4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

(THIS GETS BETTER!)The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine ("el computador"), because:

1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;

2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;

3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and

4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

I think the women won!

Pictures!!

So here's the thing, I finally got the chance to upload all my photos from my camera onto my computer. I have a Picasa, but I haven't been able to upload all the photos yet, and there are like 237 or something like that. But yeah, anyway here are some from Denver and the assembly:

Ryanna not doing anything. Ha ha I'm just kidding, she was actually shoveling ice, but by the time I got the picture, she stopped.

Notice how much gas was. Sadly it went up 30 cents the next.

TONY!!

I have more pictures but it's taking a long time, so I'll put them on Picasa. But as for now, you can enjoy these.

Departing...

It's past midnight, I' tired, but I can't sleep...I leave in about 13 hours to the airport, and I'm not even closed to being packed. In this 13 hours I have to finish packing, go see the people that need to be seen, and go to the places that need to be visited. So stressful.
Last night we almost had a break in, which completely freaked all of us out, except my grandma because she slept through the entire thing. We even had the cops here. And a window was busted a few house down. But yeah...it was exciting.

I am sad to report though that I can't bring any snow back with me. Sadly, the snow all melted so there really isn't any to take back, and besides I don't think they would have let me bring it on the plane.

I have pictures that I will try to get up, but because all my computers hate me, they won't let me upload any of the pictures unless I want to wait four hours... so yeah, i think I should pack now. Goodnight.

MORE SNOW(and an almost broken toe.)!

I know the last post was all about snow, but that was old snow. Now there is new snow! It snowed all day. It's still snowing at this very moment. But it's awesome, it's the first time it snowed since I've been here. And I'm pretty stoked about it. Me and Ryanna have been outside all day. Oh, and I ran over Ryanna's toe with the car. But I promise it was completely on accident. Her toe happened to be under the tire when I started backing up. And at first I thought he was joking because she started laughing, but then she started complaining about how her toe was hurting, and how I really did run it over.
So yeah...Ryanna's toe is fine. :]

SNOW!

The last couple of days, the weather has been almost like Florida weather. The only difference is that the air is dry, and there's snow everywhere. Muddy snow I might add. Here are some pictures from a park that we drove by yesterday:


Today it's a little more colder. Hopefully there will be more snow soon, even though everyone is hoping for the warm weather. And yes, i will try to bring back some snow.

Oh yeah, here's a picture of my car.


It's not fancy, but it's a car.
