Blah Blah Blah, Yackety Yack Yack Yack, Yammer Yammer......(aka "Another Boring Post That Few Shall Actually Read")

That's an encouraging title, isn't it? I should rename it. I'll try to make it sound exciting, and make you want to read it b'cuz it looks interesting, and then squash your hopes with yet another dry, boring post. :D Yes, it would be mean and misleading, but last time I checked, it's a Free Blogosphere, people! If you got a problem wi' dat, you'll just have ta deal wid it!
Note to those who may not have read my blog before and may be slightly scared by that first paragraph: Don't worry, I'm just in a slightly stinky mood, which doesn't happen often. Continue reading and relax.

Someone (who shall remain anonymous, but she commented in the last post) told me that the 'Guess the Song' game was too hard. I admit, I tried to make it difficult, but I suppose other people just don't know their songs well enough to sing them all the way through and pick out the obscure phrases I used. So, you peeps have two choices:
1: Go back and try to figure out the songs, or
2: Wait for my next post, where I shall post slightly more well-known phrases from the same songs, but if you guess there you'll only get half the points.
3: (I know, I said 2 choices, but I changed my mind!) Just don't play.
Whatever you want. "The Reader is *Almost* Always Right!" is my motto.

We have passed the 100 comment mark in our Comment Blitz of Avalon, but methinks we are all getting bored with it. I know I'm starting to. Isn't that an awful thing? Getting tired of a movement you started? It's like.......*tries to come up with a good example*.........Skittles getting tired of watching Monk. Now that would be sad. (I know, that's not a perfect example, but I can't think of anything else.) I might start copying the comments from earlier this Blitz and re-using them on the same post. Can't you imagine Avalon's surprise when she sees two- or three-hundred comments?? I'd want to be there to see her face. *hopes Avalon is not reading this*
A Sudden Awful Thought: what if this doesn't work??? What if she is desensitized to the horrors of our Blitz??? What can we possibly think up that's worse? Hmm. Perchance, if our little Blitz fails (I wonder, what does 'fail' actually mean? C'mon, Kommander Kiwifruit never fails! If she failed, she wouldn't be Kommander Kiwifruit. She'd be Private Kiwifruit in charge of bathroom-floor-scrubbing-with-toothbrush! Have faith in me!.......and pray that it's not misplaced. ;P'), I will ask y'all for suggestions.
ho hum.
I have finished my cards! Not officially, 'cuz I haven't printed any out yet, but they're finished! Now, on to my next painting project, and then............(the following is to be said in a 'CHARGE!!!'-like manner) ETSY!!!!! And then (hopefully).......MONEY!!!! And then.......STUFF MONEY CAN BUY!!!!!! Like cds, tee shirts, concerts, dvds, ipods, cameras, COMPUTERS, cruises, cruises in the Bahamas, cruises to Hawaii, cruises in the Mediterranean, cruises to the Rockies, cruises, music cruises, etc, etc, etc.
Anywho. I need to print one out to send to my Great-Grandma, who sent me a Christmas present, and to whom I have not yet sent a thank-you card. I started out designing a thank-you card to send her but got sidetracked. I'll have to send her one of these to show that I really was doing something of importance, not ungrateful.
We went Kite Flying on Tuesday. We have a two-handled (trick) kite, which I like immeasurably better than the plain ole one-stringed kite. And yesterday it was calmer but we still flew the trick kite. It was perfect yesterday (except, Rapunzel says, for the cold weather, the this, the that, and all the rest.), so calm and peaceful. The kite, instead of shooting up into the air when released, just sauntered up slowly and calmly. It was a lot easier to control, so I could do 'swoopties' to either side with it, or even loopdeloops.
Today 12-yr-old-bro and I, Kirsten, Jumbo Shrimp, and their brother went into the woods for a while and practised punching each other. That needs a little explanation, I think. Punching as in faux-punches. For movies. 'Tis fun. I got to beat Kirsten up several times. :D We were working on shoulder-punches today. Next up, punches-to-the-nose. >:0D (<- evil-smiley-face with swollen nose)


Now, I'm going to announce a new nickname for 12-yr-old-bro. This one actually makes sense and will stick for a while. Jordan. Have any of you ever seen the Bernie Mac Show?
If you haven't and want to, be forewarned: you have to pick and choose the episodes carefully, and then keep your finger ready on the mute button.
Jordan is a lot like my brother. A Lot like my brother. (Or is my brother a lot like Jordan?.........)
Mom is making me end my post now, so goodbye.

P.S. Duncan Phillips has a blog!! And he likes LOST, too!!! Smart person. He's all the smarter if he can explain to me what's happening (in LOST). I'm LOST. :D

I've noticed you're having trouble making up titles? Hmm, that is a problem. :P I haven't run into that trouble yet, but I'm sure it's coming... Are my suspisions correct as to who Jumbo Shrimp is? Related to Kirsten, taught us the fine art of hair-tugging, etc? :P Yes, now she gets payback for that... ;P Emily and I actually often have to "sign" truces. Noticed us dodging each other before church? :P Yes, definately agree that was too hard. But I guess it could be that I just don't listen to the same songs as you... :P

*Reads first papragraph and slowly backs away*
I didn't even know you posted the song game thingie! I shall have to have a whack at it...
What's this Avalon's URL? Maybe I'll bombard her with spammy comments (That is what a comment blitz is; right?)

Daughter of Eve said...

I don't know if my guess regarding Jumbo Shrimp is right...

Argh!!! I can't remember what I was commenting about...Guess I'll have to do it again later. :P

I enjoyed your random and dry blog post. It has just the right touch of blandness. :) I think the random smiley face idea all over town is a great plan B if I run out of smiley-faces. You should totally join in on the Smiley-Face Saturday fun and post your own smiley-face pictures. Then maybe we could start a smiley-face following! do you think? Looking forward to reading more boring stuff. :)

kiwi, I agree with julia. You have just the right touch of blandness to make it interesting. So, don't worry.

I'm not a Songmaster, so the song thing was hard for me.

I'm so glad Avalon finally posted. We were getting very bored with this. Next time, people, repeat your comments three times... Then we'll have three times more comments!! If we did that last time, we would have had 399 comments........That's a LOT of comments. Be ready next time she lets it lull for more than a week! >: ) MOOHAHAHAAA!!!!!!

(don't get creeped out.)

I like some of your 'stuff money can buy' ideas. Namely the cds, tee shirts, camereas, cruises in tha Bahamas, cruises in the Mediterranean, and music cruises.

Hey Kiwi,
First off..it wasn't boring..and second of all..I had to go back and read like four posts that I had missed :0
You nominated me for something and didn't even tell me?? How dare you!! JK..

It didn't look to me like those song lyrics were too hard..I didn't know any of them, so I'm guessing they were all christian songs..not a lot of people knew mine on Facebook because they were mostly 80s..scary, huh?

I'm glad Avalon finally posted..I thought you were going to have a nervous breakdown any minute..frightening..

I don't think I've ever actually flown a kite before..sounds fun..but we don't always have the weather to fly kites in.. *sadness*

You're turning seventeen in a month! I don't turn seventeen until May..*more sadness* I don't have my learner's permit yet, either..how about you??

I'd better go now..I'm starting to ramble a little bit..I can tell..I gotta update my blog and such.. :P

Howdy Kiwi
Oh, so I am famous for being beat up! It leaves warm fuzzies inside. Oh, but I am not too sure about the noses next. How about head-bops instead! ( a little whimpy, but I'm ok with that!)

Well see you around on the blogosphere!
