The Smokey Diaries

I'm writing the story of a Shetland Sheepdog named Smokey who is also a pirate, as well as a lofty sports figure. In all of his stories, he ends up wooing his two friends, Kay T. (the golden retriever) and Lacey (the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel), only to realize that he's been dreaming as he sleeps on the way to his next adventure! Of course, every so often, he arrives at land, and has a real adventure, but the oceans are big, so he has quite a few dreams.
I've already finished two stories, and am working on a third one. They're great fun, and I base my characters on my puppies from my Nintendogs games, so I have an image set in my mind when I write my stories. And here's the great part: I WRITE them! On paper! Yes! Good-Bye, computers; hello papers! Who says it's old-fashioned?

Actual Geometry Quiz

It's not complete, of course, but it comes from an actual Geometry Quiz I had to take today. It looks kind of hard to me...but I'm a sissy.

clipped from kcdistancelearning.blackboard.com For problems 4-5, use the diagram of the right cylinder. If r = 3 yd, and h = 7 yd, find the lateral area. For problems 10-12, use the diagram of the right cone. If r = 5 in. and h = 12 in., find the slant height. 7 in. 17 in. 13 in.

Caramel Corn Day

I've decided to make a holiday. I'll call it "Caramel Corn Day". Yes, indeed. Now, you have to be clear—Dad's version of caramel corn is really good. But...I got a package of Act II Caramel Corn for my parents (who willingly shared it with me)...WOW! It's so good, you feel like screaming. Yes, that's right. Screaming.

In other news, I got the Sims 2: Nightlife yesterday instead of having to wait until Wednesday. YES! *punches air with fist* No, it's not what I expected...but hey? What is? I stayed up until 4:15 last night playing it.....ah, the good old days. But now I have to "buckle down" and get some schoolwork done. All play and no work makes Jenny a really irresponsible girl. *Cough* Unless she already is.

Enough talk. Here I go. Happy Caramel Corn Day!

Nightlife...Sort of

You know I like to play The Sims 2. And, if you do, too, you know that they have an expansion pack entitled, "Nightlife". Now, I have to say that, being one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I am not some sort of hypocritical party animal; neither do I want to have the Sims under my control be anything different. But, after having done extensive research (28,900 pictures on a Google Image Search), I have found that this "Nightlife" that is so highly spoken of is nothing more than a couple hundred extra things for your community lots (plus some outfits). Nothing more. And so I ask you—what's wrong with that? Go ahead, yell at me if I made an understatement at your favorite game. Sue me. I put myself into this mindlock so as to keep my morals up...and my motives down. KEEP IT CLEAN!

Anyway, so I am going to buy the game...on Wednesday. I have planned it, and I will buy it, then when I get home, I will...*sigh*...go do my schoolwork. Basically, I am going to drive myself NUTS for the next 4 days. SuNdAy....MoNdAy....TuEsDaY....WeDnEsDaY ...then—BANG!—I'll be all right. I hope.
Well, gosh—I darn'd better be all right! I withdrew $30 from my bank account for that program! AND I have to buy my parents a gift! Like...."let me off here and I'll buy you chocolates." I darn'd better be..."all right".........

In other news, I have to go finish my Spanish. Yep, you heard right—I didn't finish it from 2 hours ago. C'est la vie, right? Well, not exactly, since I'M the one who's supposed to be doing the work. *Ahem* Anyway...
