For Lack of a Better Subject....For Lack of Any Subject, actually

I have many subjects for this blogpost.

For one thing, y'all are doing awesomely well on the Comment Blitz! We're up to 74 comments.....in a mere week! Owan and Judi, you people are totally fantastic! I loved the recycling of comments, Owan, and Judi's spelling out of that (difficult yet popular) word 'Post!!!' was good. Keep it up! We are already near to breaking the record.

Um. Drat. I had most of a post written out on paper, but have lost the paper. Hmph.
I have been tagged by a Friend of Narnia, so I suppose I'll do that.

1.YOUR REAL NAME: Kiwi Elizabeth Fruit (Note: Kiwi Elizabeth Fruit is not quite my real name, but it'll work, won't it?)

2.WITNESS PROTECTION NAME (mother and fathers middle names): Carol Keith

3.NASCAR NAME (first name of your mother's dad, father's dad): Robert Loran

4.STAR WARS NAME (the first 3 letters of your last name, first 2 letters of your first name): Fruki (Cool! That'll be my next blogger-name)

5.DETECTIVE NAME(favorite color, favorite animal): Black Horse

6.SOAP OPERA NAME (middle name, town where you were born): Elizabeth Moline

7.SUPERHERO NAME (2nd fav color, fav drink, add "THE" to the beginning): the Red Mountain Dew (a.k.a. "Code Red" Mountain Dew! That worked out really well.)

8.FLY NAME (first 2 letters of 1st name, last 2 letters of your last name): Kiit

9.ROCK STAR NAME (current pets name, current street name): Angus Rink (Computers count as pets, don't they? and Rink is a former address. Yes, I cheat. Boo hoo.)

10.YOUR GANGSTA NAME (first 3 letters of real name plus izzle): Kiwizzle
So yup. Those are my multiple names. :D Another pointless tag.

How about some 'guess the song'? Another rather 'pointless' game, but kind of fun to do...if you're good with contemporary Christian music.

The Rules:
1. Guess the Title of the Song, the Artist(s), and the Album.
2. You are not allowed to look up anything on the Internet, your personal files, or your ipod, or your mp3 player. Your only resources are your memory or someone else's memory. (Oh, and your computer's memory is off-limits!)
3. Five points for correct song title, five for correct artist, five for correct album.
4. Follow all the rules!!!

Got the rules down? Okay, let's go!

1. I'll guard your heart. With quiet words I'll lead you in.

2. Back to the first love I ever knew!

3. I’ve never lied. Well, I guess I’ve told a few.

4. I'm so blue, so blue

5. But I could never live in a yurt on a diet of Mongolian barbecue

6. Haunted by each heartbreak and mistake, I've let weigh me down

7. Sometimes I still never see when perfect opportunities come my way

8. And that's everything you've ever needed and it's all you've got

9. I know I was wrong and I've made some mistakes

10. Where's your treasure, where's your hope if you get the world and lose your soul?

11. But I know what you meant to say instead was really that you wanted us to run away

12. It’s for the poor, the broken and the meek, it’s for the ones who look a lot like you and me

13. You're always good, always good to me.

14. It's not living if you don't reach for the sky

15. Lift up your head my dear friend this tunnel does have an end
Goodbye, and good luck.

Um. There wuz something more I wanted to say. Drat. Again.
I finished a new set of cards! Now I must scan them, design the card, and they'll be ready to print and sell once I get an Etsy set up.

Oh, yeah! The mini-survey I conducted! Here're the results in no particular order:

Adam Agee:
1. espn
2. grand cayman, cayman islands
3. hoo hoo

Skittles:
1. Chocolate!!
2. Greece
3. NIGHT CRICKET!!!

Blueh:
1. Fun weakness? newsboys. ALL THINGS NEWSBOYS.
2. NEW ZEALAND. :D That's where my best friend is. :D
3. I'm both! A night AND morning person! :D If I had the stamina, I'd stay up for a full 24 hours. Which I've only done ONCE. :P

Guitargirl:
1- I'm gonna have to go with Blueh on this one; newsboys :-)
2- Concerts
3- I'm not sure. I can actually be a grouch anytime; it doesn't have to just be in the morning or night ;)

Judi:
1: Music..I have 150 cds..and still not enough..
2: There's this little walk way outside my youth building at church that I just LOVE to take walks on in the morning..I could go back and forth..so while it's not Italy or anything..it's a pretty place..
3: Night person..absolutely..I'm a creature of the night :-)

Owan:
#1 That would be Down Under the Big Top. ;)
#2 I want to go everywhere. I want to tour America and Canada and visit the British Commonwealth, mainly. Also Russia and France.
#3 I'm a afternoon person, I think.

Matt:
1. Music. That shouldn't shock anyone. :D
2. Umm, I don't know.
3. Night owl. Definitely

Pooky's Girl:
1. Candy that does not contain chocolate.
2. Home (ie, Iowa).
3. Night owl to the extreme. Of course, having insomnia does not help things...

Kirsten:
1. Coffee with chocolate creamer (It's so satisfying).
2. Peninsula State Park, Door County, Wisconsin.
3. Night Owl.

Friend of Narnia:
1. Chocolate
2. Bear Mountain, New York! (or anywhere in the mountains in NY, for that matter)
3. Night owl!!! Tina and Emmie and I were up till 2AM after you guys left on Monday! ;D And that's it. So we have no morning peeps reading this? That's good. Morning people annoy me when they get up early and wake me. Mom says it'll serve me right if I married a morning person. Okay, that is now a requirement: any boyfriend of mine must be a night owl! :D

What else? My friend, Jumbo Shrimp, has joined our community! I'll let y'all jump on over to her blog, if you want. She has a good poem by Shel Silverstein on right now. Hi Jumbo Shrimp!
I wish that Blogger had the same sort of deal as Juno. They (Juno) say that if you refer a friend to Juno, you get $30. Well, my friends Avalon, Catfreak, Kirsten, and Jumbo Shrimp have all been inspired by Yours Truly to join, I should get....*does some math*........$120!
Um, yes. I'm running out of things to say. Oh, Avalon and Catfreak: email me with the email addresses you use for blogging, and I can invite y'all to join a blog I created for us! We can use it like Myspace or Facebook, only just with us. (sorry to leave the rest of y'all out. :)

And methinks that's about it. Boy, can this post get any boringer?

Official Apology:
I apologize for all the boringness on this post. I apologize for the extreme lack of news on this post. I apologize for making you fall asleep during this post. I apologize for anything offensive in this post, unless I meant to offend you. I apologize for taking nigh a week to post this. I apologize for anything else you can think of.

Goodbye.
~Kiwi the boring Fruit~

A New Post (duh)/Comment Blitz

This is (obviously) a Brand New Post. I figured it was because of the title. With a title like that, it has to be a new post. :P

Here is my first announcement: my friend, Kirsten, has started a blog! I told her I'd introduce her to the rest of my bloggy friends. Bloggy friends, THIS is Kirsten! Kirsten, welcome to our part of the Bloggosphere! On the right side of my screen I have links to most of my other readers, but a few are not linked so you'll have to go to the comments section. Skittles, Guitargirl, and Judi comment fairly regularly, so you can meet them on there through their profiles. Welcome to my bunch o' bloggy buddies! You ought to receive a beginning blogging welcome packet, but it hasn't quite been invented yet, so you'll have to do without. But feel free to ask me any questions you may have about blogs!


Here is my second announcement: As of 9:27 last night, The Old Movie Blog is updated and you are all invited to stop by and visit HERE if you want to read my latest post! And I have another movie review coming up later this week or sometime next week, as well. Feel free to drop in anytime!

Here is my third announcement: the new Newsboys site is finally up and running!!!! I just found that out, and I'm glad. :^D They now need to fill it out a bit more, as it is rather bare. I wish I could get on the message boards! If I had an email address of my own....
I can't wait 'till the new album comes out! If I only had an extra $14 lying around, I'd pre-order it and get In The Hands Of God and Houston We Are Go. RRRGH! WHY can't I just SNAP MY FINGERS and have ALL THE MONEY I WANT?!? probably because then everything would be way too easy and I wouldn't be misrable so often. :-P

Here is my fourth announcement: I have a quick, painless, three-question survey I'd like all y'all who read this to answer.
#1. What is your fun little weakness (such as chocolate, coffee...)?
#2. Where is your favorite place to visit?
#3. Are you a morning person or a night owl?
I asked Skittles two of the three questions this morning, but didn't get to the third. To numbers 1 & 2, she said "CHOCOLATE!!!" and "Greece."
I asked one Adam Agee the same three questions, and here is his return comment:
"kiwifruit...
1. espn
2. grand cayman, cayman islands
3. hoo hoo"
Please respond, readers! Surely if Adam, who is a very busy dude, has time to dash off a quick reply, so do you!

Here is my fifth announcement: I have run out of announcements. Drat. I like to announce things.

Here is my sixth announcement: This is my 60th post! Which sounds great to me, until I look at Skittles' latest post...400th post. It makes me feel sad that I'm so way far back. *counts up posts* *tries to figger out a way to reach 100 posts by her 1 year anniversary* I have to post every 3.15 days in order to reach 100 posts by June 11th. That shouldn't be too hard (famous last words....)!

Here is my seventh (and final) announcement: I have no more announcements to make.

Let's see.... Oh! One very last announcement!

Here is my eighth (and very last) announcement: I am starting a new comment blitz! for the same person as last time, HMS Avalon. Here are the instructions: THE INSTRUCTIONS. Same place same person as last time. It has been over a month since her last post. Beg for more story, more about her life, anything, just ask for more posts!

Well, that's all that I can think of to post right now. Except that, at the Winter Jam concert, I got to meet Nirva, Shon, Brian, and Todd from the Diverse City Band, and Hawk Nelson. Nirva is very nice, and pretty, and I wish we'd been in a position to talk for a bit more. Shon was hawking their wares:
"Ice cold posters! Git yer ice cold posters he-ere! Oh, we have cd's, too. Do you want a cd?" he asked me.
"Sure," said I, playing the smart alek, "Give me some money, and I'll buy a cd!"
Shon laughed and 'bapped' my hat. Yes, Bap is a word. It's the sound that was made when my hat was hit. :D
And then Jason (?) from Hawk Nelson (whoever the lead singer is) signed by book "To [Kiwifruit], (heart) Jason, (smiley)" so we were playing around afterwards, pretending to be crazy fan-girls, swooning over the fact he signed with a heart. :D It was fun. I just wish we had been able to meet The Afters.

Well, I'd better go ahead and post this. See y'all later!
~Kiwifruit~

hey, all, just a quick update.
I got to go in and see Grandpa on Thursday. He can't talk or move much yet. Although I'm pretty sure he wanted to laugh at some of the things I said. Almost every time I see him, he teases me about my (non-existent) boyfriend, and asks how 'he' is and stuff like that. So I told him that "the boyfriend situation isn't going too good." I think he was laughing inside.
Today, Mom, Dad and the boys are down @ the hospital while Sis and I are here. I'll probably go down tomorrow.

So, how many of my relatives are reading this?? I gave the address to my Aunt B., and now Pooky's Girl is reading it, Christina, Aunt J., Jon, and who else? STOP LURKING!! Comment!

Lastly, I've got a new blog started and am getting disturbed by the lack of comments. Two posts already, and a follower (hey, Matt), and NO comments! Check it out! Comment, for Pete's sake!
Alright, I'm going now. I'm going to re-arrange my room a few times, listen to some Downhere and Stellar Kart, and um......, and read my book, and rot my brain on the computer and tv. I'll see you later!
~Kiwifruit
P.S. wow, I think that's my shortest post so far!
