My new blog...

2011-05-01T17:41:00.000-04:00

Tumblr is my new Forté. I hope. This is the last post of my Blogger blog, I have moved on to a Post-It note themed Tumblr.

post-it-notions.tumblr.com

I hope that whoever sees this post will cancel their RSS to this, delete their book mark, or, whatever. Then I hope or would wish, that you RSS my new one.

Since that is the bulk of what I had to say, the only thing left is to tell you, to go watch the presidents speech, 'cause it's so funny.

If you haven't already.

Bye.

MECHA!

2011-03-28T22:43:00.000-04:00

Hello. Today- no, not today, several weeks ago, I built the mecha you see below. Then a week or more later, I took pictures of it. Then more days passed and I uploaded them. Then I edited them, then I put them on Flickr, then I blogged them. So here they are.

I really liked the torso, but as I worked on it, it got boring, then the legs wouldn't stay standing, and other crazy stuff. Bye. See you later.

MK1- Main Battle walker

2011-02-24T00:02:00.000-05:00

Okay, this is a long story. It starts with this Picture, which I saw on Flickr a indefinite number of months ago. That lead me to this Image which is obvious due to the link at the Flickr page. Unbeknown to me, at the time, the creator of that picture does the illustrations of one of my favorite book series, Leviathan, which I hadn't read yet at the time. So, unconnected, I went and read Leviathan, the first book in the series, still not knowing the connection to how I had seen the art previously. Then the resolution comes, I read the second book, Behemoth, and made the link, realizing that I had saw the Artist's art previously.

Then comes the bit where I come in and the whole thing becomes relevant. I remembered the Lego-ized version of his art and was inspired. I made my own rendition of a picture, this one.

Here it is:

It does fit a Mini-figure if you were wondering.

Bye.

Caroline's Camera is coming back... whoo!

2011-02-15T21:25:00.000-05:00

This post was created with the new Blogger editing system. It's awesome.

If You haven't seen this video, have a look, while you wait for pictures I have yet to take of the Lego version of the lower image.

Yeah. that.

Small post.........

Bye.

~The Stinger 5.0~

100th post>>

2011-01-24T13:11:00.003-05:00

This is my 100th post. Hi. This is my Castle in the clouds. It might be floating on a giant magical cloud, or it could be standing on an enormously tall pillar of rock, whichever...

A Disapointment.

2011-01-15T17:06:00.005-05:00

I have both already abandoned the daily pictures, and drawn something truly terrible. The picture I drew today; 1, wasn't drawn today, it was today and yesterday, 2, is horrible, 3, should have been cool and shiny, expensive, blue, sharp, and not terrible. I can't say it isn't blue, aside from being only blue, it's in the eye of the beholder to call it expensive, and it looks weird cause I used the Sharpen tool on it, which I thought at the time looked cool on the colors, and that is true, but it ruined it and I couldn't (wouldn't) finish it. So there it is. Along with that pathetic whiny mess. So it's the Only-blue-sharpened-not-cool-terrible-arguably-expensive Car.
Oh, and the lines are all wrong.Bye. Sorry for such Rubbish.

Torii Gate

2011-01-11T23:14:00.003-05:00

This is the Japanese Torii Gate. (the picture.) They traditionally mark the entrance to a Shinto shrine, they are also often seen in Buddhist Temples and also mark the transition from the profane outer world to the sacred and holy inner shrine.

I have decided to draw a sketchbook picture every day, or at least every other day, as I missed yesterday, and that wouldn't be a good start to a New-years resolution. + some pictures just take too long to do in one day. so it is better to finish them in two than to just not draw one.

Thanks for reading, and viewing.

Sketchbook Express pictures

2011-01-07T20:40:00.004-05:00

I updated my Mac... It installed a garage band update, something I didn't catch, and an App store.
The important part of that list is the App store. I found an downloaded the free version (express) of Sketchbook Pro, the app that is the simplified version of Adobe Illustrator or Corel Painter, that includes an awesome interface to work with... Below is what I made with it... An ugly Monster. If anyone wants to comment, tell me what to make next, I'll have a go and post it.
Thanks, bye!

OMG I took pictures.

2010-12-17T18:38:00.005-05:00

Hello anyone. I don't have much to say, but I do have a couple of lego creations that I took pictures of to share. I just spent all day putting these together in my crappy image editor, (which is better than nothing, but still supremely crappy.) But I am satisfied with the result and I love the creation. Thanks for reading.

5403

2010-12-06T22:18:00.003-05:00

Hello all. 5403 is the number of words I have in my story now. I didn't stop writing. Hopefully, I won't stop either. I have persevered and I like my story enough to keep on persevering so I might just finish it, although since I have only written 400 words in a whole week, it might take a while...

This post's car drawing is this:
It doesn't have a name, so call it what you want... but I like it, so I call it cool.

I still haven't taken pictures of my lego plane, It's been sitting in a shoebox in my closet, waiting for a camera, but I want to use a nice one... >.<

I guess that's all... Bye.

The Title that tells of my NanoWrimo Failure.

2010-11-29T14:59:00.003-05:00

Failure. That is the result of this years NaNoWriMo. I have, right now, 5003 words. But as my Goal was 40,000... I don't think I'll make it by tomorrow. (I can't believe tomorrow is the last day of November.) Anyway, I have another car, and a wish-list.

This looks a lot like a Mini Cooper, so you could say that it's based on it. The truth is that I just drew it, and that is how it turned out, so what ever.

And My Wish-list for Christmas is:

~Behemoth, the probably amazing sequel to the amazing Leviathan.
~An iPod... yes.
~Civilization 4 for mac.
And I can't think of anything else... :(
I personally think Christmas is getting silly. But I won't go on about it or I will regret my words. It just makes me exasperated. Well, actually, everything does... so I just get over it.

Anyway, I hope you liked my drawings, I only have a few more, then I will have pictures of a couple of Lego's I put together.

Bye.

Th post inwhich several unrelated subjects are breifly discussed.

2010-11-21T21:40:00.004-05:00

Hello, it's time for the irregularly spaced post of my blog! I have three things to say.

1. I have at present (subject to immediate and sudden drastic change) 3,418 words written in my NaNoWriMo story, and i have reached the grand total of: Near the end of the third chapter.

2. I just (today) finished making my first Lego plane. It will have pictures going up. I haven't taken them though, so not yet. I was inspired by the masterful plane-making skills of Flickr user JohnHall18 (really cool stuff.) My plane isn't nearly as good as any of his. T.T but I will make another.

3. Today's Car Picture is: "The Kabuto" Concept Car.

Thanks! Bye.

2010-11-10T22:29:00.003-05:00

I thought it would be an interesting to steal the last letter from each word of your title. Eetr. Not very appetizing. Anyway, here's another car picture. I don't feel like finding a Story scrap. + due to a problem with my having only Pages 06. :/

It's a bit squished, I think. Otherwise, it's pretty cool.

That is all for today. Bye.

The title that dosn't give away what is represents.

2010-11-05T20:40:00.004-04:00

Hello again. I should be writing my NaNoWriMo story, but thought I might share with you some stuff. Not all of which is remotely worth it.

First: I have written so far, 7 hundred and an unknown amount of words, (this is unknown because it will change very soon, and may in fact increase while I am writing this post.)
Second: My next car picture to share... which is again not quite a car...

Third: My story snippet. Which is: “Yes indeed,” said English, distractedly. He was busy checking his false mustache in the mirror. “Tell me what you think of this mustache, Ashley.”
“Yes sir,” said Ashley...
...“I like it very much, sir,” said Ashley. Nodding approvingly. “Tea or coffee, sir?” He said, completely changing the subject.
“Coffee, said, English, and walked out of the room.

That is all of my stuff... I couldn't think of anything else. Bye.

NaNoWriMo. And Cars.

2010-11-01T16:10:00.007-04:00

Hello. Anyone. As you know, today is the first day of November. That means that NaNoWriMo is up and running, but it also brings a reason for me to post... hehe. As I write, I will pick bits of my story and post it, along with a picture which I drew. Not a picture depicting the scene I wrote about, but a concept car picture, which I drew. (two of which I painted.) Most of these were drawn in October, some in September... but I will show them to you in Novvember. The second "v" is purposeful, because this month is also Host to Vic Viper building Month. If you (understandably) don't know what I Vic Viper is... click the link on the first mention of Vic Vipers. *dies from overload* okay... first... things first... *goes to edit car pics* *comes back.*
Here is the first one. Yes, it's not actually a car. but it has a little story, it goes like this. When I scanned it, it was sideways, so I had to put it through iPhoto... it went crazy... and I ended up with these, which were randomly created through means mysterious to me. I happen to like them though... Heh heh. So the top one it the original, and the lower three are the inspired creations of iPhoto...

Now for my story bit. Since it is only the first day of November, I can only give you the very beginning of my story. Voila!~

Chapter One.

A dark clothed man silently slipped up the building, his form and shadow consumed by the surrounding shadows of the buildings contours. With one hand the shadow wrapped figure clung to the building and with the other, he put a small thin tool into the window lock catch, and jerked it, the window unlocked and the Man swooped quickly into the building through the now open window.

That's all for today. Check back soon for more Cars, story and other stuff...

Bye!

New Blog Design

2010-08-21T14:53:00.002-04:00

Hey, yes you, I changed the design of my blog and I now have a You Tube account, make sure to check it out. There is a Link on my Blog Page. Come check it out! (now I've said that twice) So yeah, come look! Please?

Bye!
P.s. I am about to add another video, it's really cool... I think.

A Heroes Dream ~A Poem.

2010-07-15T13:05:00.002-04:00

Come Heroes, come with me,
We'll face the World and our destiny,
We'll slay dragons, set damsels free,
We'll see all the sights there are to see.

Adventuring is for only the best,
Traveling North, South, East and West,
Ridding the lands of curmudgeon pests,
And visiting cities as exulted guests.

:)

A Poem. "The Dead"

2010-07-12T19:35:00.003-04:00

The Dead

A confused mind, no warning heed,
A trigger pulled without due need,
A courageous bullet of lead doth speed,
A drop of blood, from veins freed.

The loud bang, an angry sound,
The splat of blood as it hits the ground,
The profound lack of a heart beat pound,
The lonely silence of a burial mound.

Although the dead in their coffins sleep,
Life around, continues to creep,
And above, the birds do sweep,
Their chicks, new life, begin to peep.

Do not weep, for the dead,
Sing their praises, with joy instead.

I wrote a sonnet.

2010-04-20T17:44:00.004-04:00

An Ode to A Man's Best Bonnet.

One autumn’s evening, in my hut
I had an idea which stirred my gut
Upon contemplation, I decided that --
That I would seek out my favorite hat

The hatter’s shop I did first try,
But the selection of hats did make me cry.
Not a one would I well have died in,
Not even a fine bowler could I have pride in.

After this failed and sad attempt
I did visit a store so very unkempt.
Inside I found one for but thirty bob,
A shiny top-hat would do a sterling job.

In retrospect, and upon deciding,
I find my true favorite is still in hiding.

[It doesn't have Shakespearean rhyme sets, but it does meet the requirements for a sonnet.]
Bye.

Legos again...

2010-03-13T15:16:00.003-05:00

Hello! Last post I talked a bit in very confusing terms about productivity, which was in itself, non-productive. Any watt. I have below, some pictures which I am glad to have taken and be able to share. If you could please just go to my Flickr page and see all of them (Here). :)

Productivity.

2010-03-07T21:50:00.003-05:00

Productivity is one of those things which are completely contradictory. When you have nothing to post you reach for something, but when you get it and you forget or have no time to post. Which is contradictory to the main theme of posting on what you didn't have until you searched for it. Yes this is confusing and mostly inadequately explained, but that doesn't stop me from thinking about it or posting it. Any way, below is my post.

This is the second of my videos, which I forgot that I hadn't posted.

Thanks! More later!

Snowed on me...

2010-02-13T10:01:00.003-05:00

Holy Ameglian major cows! It snowed in Georgia! This isn't all that uncommon, but three inches is. Sadly, it's all powdery and totally unusable. Caroline took a picture of me shaking snow off a tree on top of me, and it looks really cool. I don't have it yet though. The temperature was 19 degrees, when I went out at 8:30 this morning. Well, see ya!

Brick films...

2010-02-12T18:41:00.004-05:00

Hi! I am back from the exact place I was the last time I posted, which was who knows when.

I have a new obsession to share with the viewers who put up with me. and that is Brickfilms. Brick films are stop-animation films, using LEGO as characters, sets and props. If you are creative, you can re-make any movie you have ever watched, though, you may need some rather specific pieces to accomplish it. Any way, most BF-ers make there own stories which are most likely very custom to their supply. Below is my first one. :), don't be surprised.

There is also another one, but for now, be curious and look at this.
Bye!

Sub-Lightning, Lightning Bee Mark III

2010-01-25T11:54:00.006-05:00

You know that set I keep making set out of? well I did it again. Below is the Sub-Lightning, I new, super high-tech, uber cool, search and discovery submarine. It's made of both the lightning set and a old sub set I have had for a while. the sub set came with the detachable mini sub-bot, I couldn't have made that. :)

nanowrimo anxiety

2009-11-20T10:33:00.002-05:00

NaNoWriMo is an extremely hard to accomplish hobby. I have Three thousand words, seven thousand to go and ten days to write them. Plus my book won't actually fit into ten thousand words so I will have to write the rest after November. Also, I have to go camping tomorrow and that will take up another one and a half days, plus my family is coming over to stay for three days to thanksgiving which is another day as well, so I really only have 5 days to write 7000 words which comes out to 1,400 words a day. Scary! Bye gotta write! Anxiety...

Smashing Pumpkins

2009-11-01T14:01:00.003-05:00

On November 1st the order of execution was passed and sir Alfredo Trafficcone was executed this morning, I took pictures of his beheading and shooting of the head. An odd sort of execution, he was unhappy about it...
...Naturally.

Top view of impaled pumpkin.

You may think shooting a pumpkin through the nose is not very nice but I don't.

(Yes I named my Pumpkin Alfredo Trafficcone.)
See you next time!

My achievements

2009-10-31T21:06:00.005-04:00

This Monday I will complete the Boy Scouts of America, Life Rank Board of review. That means that I will be ALMOST EAGLE! The next rank is Eagle rank, I will most likely be like, 15. I am so cool.

NaNoWriMo! it's back!

2009-10-30T16:04:00.004-04:00

Hello. I haven't blogged in so long... I'm so bad... well, NaNoWriMo is come again, it is almost November, my story word goal is 10,000 this year.

I don't think I will post any parts and subject you to the torture, but I should do something, hm. Oh well, dreams die... Which is really a very odd thing to say, since none of my dreams died, therefore the statement was irrelevant. But so is everything else I say. I want to learn Ken-do, or fencing. it would be cool. Told you! see you L-A-T-E-R.

Down came the rain and washed the Spider out...

2009-09-07T22:07:00.006-04:00

...and made this really cool and relatively safe to get really close to.
but honestly, I almost ran into it twice, and as it has obviously rained the ground in the chicken coup really slippery, so I also almost fell at least 3 times. The web was around 2 1/2 ft wide and tall.

Thanks for thinking!

Glass

2009-09-05T21:38:00.007-04:00

I haven't blogged in a while, no reason, but I do have pictures.
I have recently acquired a fog light glass dome. This makes for very interesting pictures, and I took these out of inspiration.

^I like this one best.

Hi, this is Quinn as usual, I actually took pictures, last Friday, they be here.
I went camping this weekend, it was fun. I went with BSA, and we boated and tubed on lake Hartwell! Isn't it funny how large letters or l's make exclamation marks look short? WOW! See?
So Cartoon network has this awesome game called TKO, Titanic Kung-fu-bot Offensive, it is really fun! Bye!

By which I mean, I have been gone a long time, but not to anywhere particular. I just haven't blogged. It seems to me as if DJ was right in saying that blogs are out, and farmville is totally IN.
The day is August/17/09, the day after my birthday. I got cool things and had a great time, I got to swim in a downpour! Soooo, cool. The next post I will put up a picture or two. whenever that will be.

the Thursday Next series; recommended.
as follows in order.

The Eyre Affair,
Lost In A Good Book,
The Well Of Lost Plots,
Something Rotten,
First Among Sequels,
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

These books are really good, but should be listened to.

BSA camp was fun...

2009-07-06T18:34:00.002-04:00

I don't have any pictures, you'll just have to take my word for it... For those who know how BSA summer camp works, I earned all 5 of my merit badges! Yeah-hoo! So yah.. I don't have anything else to say because camp is what happened for the last week. Bye!

p.s. I love ellipses...

2009-06-08T21:55:00.003-04:00

I drew this awhile ago, in paint, I thought it was pretty cool.
I didn't have anything else to post, so here it is! :) bye!

I haven't posted in soooooo long!

2009-05-31T08:43:00.003-04:00

I have two reasons,
one: my comp was acting up when ever I tried to log in on any site, really weird.
two: I didn't have anything to post.

One month to BSA summer camp! whoo!

see, I still don't have anything to post!
except this, which I found online a while ago. This is not my picture, I found it online, and I don't know whose it is.

Legos are so cool

2009-05-12T22:04:00.001-04:00

This time I made a fire fruit tree! I took pictures, had fun, and such.

Yeah, like so.

Lego Tower this time.

2009-05-11T22:17:00.003-04:00

Like so. I was experimenting and I didn't get a lot of really great pics so these are the best.
This is my favorite picture of all.

the whole view, it has stairs all the way around it.

It is supposed to be a look out tower.
Bye!

Legos are fun

2009-05-09T21:30:00.003-04:00

Here is a creation I made out of pieces of the Lego Knight bus, a harry potter set. I modified it several times and the pictures aren't from the most recent version, but you can't tell.

I found a new manga on Manga Fox called Liar Game, it's really cool.

post #60,

2009-05-05T21:27:00.004-04:00

Wow, another ten posts. I made a Lego model of sponge-bob, for a building challenge,

do you think it's good? I can't decide.

Finally the pics.

2009-05-04T21:59:00.007-04:00

Finally I bring you the images I took. Most of these were made while watching shows, like Johnny Test. :) Clay is ultra fun. They are all abstract art, non-influenced, by anything.

Thanks for reading!

a picture, but not eather of the ones I promised

2009-05-02T22:14:00.002-04:00

This one was made at Artpad.com. Here. Thanks!

So, I think I'll post all of my pictures tomorrow.

Heeelooo...

2009-04-30T20:52:00.003-04:00

Hi! I've been watching Naruto shuppuden, from the front, online at Anime crazy. It's really funny.

So has anyone LOOKED at my new blog look? 'Cause it's cool!

Here's a Haiku:

Naruto is cool,
Manga Anime or else,
It's all really good.

But "really" is questionably two syllables, as it needs to be.

I don't really have a fact to share so... Toodles!

oh yeah, next time is paper tees.

a picture and a new look.

2009-04-28T21:41:00.005-04:00

Here is my picture, I drew this today and took pictures of it to remember it. The rest of the pics aren't very good pictures and I edited this one so it filled the frame. In Microsoft Paint!

Also my new look, how do you like it?

Thanks for reading.

Morse code day! fact 4

2009-04-27T15:28:00.003-04:00

yeah, I seen this on Google.
if you are smart, you can tell that it says Google, but isn't it cool that an e is just one dot?

actually today is Samuel Morse's b-day, not the day Morse code was established.

here is today's Haiku:
Dragon in the air,
fire flying everywhere,
wings filled with the winds.

thanks for reading!
next time is paper tee shirts.

Ever heard Of Haiku? fact 3?

2009-04-23T21:30:00.003-04:00

Haiku are a type of poem, originating in Japan.
Here is one:

Haiku are formed thus,
five seven and five again,
syllables combined.

As said, 5-7-5 syllables.

Also, I am going camping tomorrow!
Woo!
bye, make some Haiku!

greetings dudes!

2009-04-21T21:03:00.002-04:00

hello! I haven't much to say to day, so I will just...
well phooey, I really don't have anything to say, so good day, night, and what ever.

fact 2

2009-04-18T22:09:00.002-04:00

so today's fact is sort of last minute, and sort of lame.
touching a match to a hydrogen filled balloon is stupid, but with proper safety precautions, it's really cool to watch blow up. don't try this at home and if some one has a show in which tis is advertised, don't get front row seats.

fun fact, from H.O.T.!

bye!

THIS IS MY 50TH POST!!!

2009-04-17T20:19:00.003-04:00

wow, it sort of took a long time.
So I haven't really done much of anything fun today.
I was sort of planning to post something I learned today, nothing was really all that interesting, but did you know that in the Mexican war, the battle of the Alamo was lost by the U.S. and Davey Crockett was killed there, so later during the war they used "Remember the Alamo" as a rallying cry, I guess it was a reminder not to get killed.

and that was your daily fact from the house of yours and my thoughts!

My copper ring...

2009-04-16T20:13:00.008-04:00

So I made this ring a couple days ago and took pictures today.

I based it on the Avatar arrows (they actually are wind nomad tattoos) and at first they were going to touch at the middle, but it was to big and the exposed edges were sharp and dangerous. So I angled them to how they are in the picture and they make a more contentious circle, with only slight obstruction, sort of like life. (oh, how deep!)

I thought the shadow was cool.

For those who know what I'm talking about, I potted the Violets.

Thanks for reading! have a Quinntastic day!(do you think I should say that?)

Not only have I finished two novels and reserved like, 12 books from the library, I also in the last week, finished two, I said 2! text books for school! "Yes!" So cool! So, what have you been doing? Not much here, I watched The Avatar, recently, no it is not airing again, I thought it was great. As a parting note, I love books.

you know how I read so much?

2009-03-27T20:11:00.000-04:00

well, I also read Manga, right now, I am up-to-date on two Manga that I couldn't do without:
Naruto, which like everyone knows about thanks (real thanks) to Cartoon-network, and
Fairy tail, this is sorta new and there is only 145 chapters or so.

how about Omga?

2009-03-23T21:24:00.002-04:00

as in OMG, as a word, Omga!

I haven't posted in a long time, wow.

I just read a book in, like, a day. if you've ever looked in childrens' section at a book store in the past 6 months, you've seen this book, it's called The Maze of Bones.
it was pretty good.

I like the author, Rick Riordan, he writes many many books and the series called, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, which I've read the first book of, he writes a lot like me, not very well, but exactly how I like them, but actually rather original. Yada yada.

so yeah.

bye!

A poem.

2009-03-11T18:13:00.003-04:00

A poem of Animals

The Camels feet are really neat,
The Elephants nose is just a hose,
A Cheetahs' spots are really dots,
The Zebras' stripes are black and white pipes,
Pandas eat a ton of bamboo,
And that's a fact that's true!

thank you, I made this for school.

A poem.

2009-03-10T19:54:00.004-04:00

What poem I shall weave for you,
What tale shall I paint,
What yarn shall I narrate,
What story is left to taint?

What picture should I tell you,
What myth shall I unfold,
What fable should I recite,
What story is left untold?

Campaigning for Originality!

thank you! I just made this up just now and your welcome but please don't use this with out putting my name!

hello.

2009-03-10T19:46:00.002-04:00

Hi, the time changed! So I have naught to talk of but it is really weird feeling that the time is 7:48 and I can see out side perfectly well, and that's not due to a new super power I've collected.
It's really weird... yeah.

bye the way, do you think I should restart posting my stories again?
please comment!

I finished TWO books this week, and half of one just today!

bye!

Recent things past, present and future... a list.

2009-03-06T17:43:00.004-05:00

As follows:

I'm reading a funny book called "Dragon Slippers" 'cause I just like dragons so much,
I'm not sick any more,
I like Star Trek, Voyager,
I will be going to a wedding Saturday,
I lost to Caroline at Scrabble twice in to days,
I collect stamps, (did you knew that? If you know where I live Your welcome to send me things with good stamps on.)
I am still Rank four on MLN,
I still like Bionicles.

This is a bit far reaching but that goes to show how little I do!
and here is the pic of the post!

this is for Caroline!

I got sick! but with what?

2009-02-27T22:41:00.003-05:00

I'm sick, but myself and mother can't really figure out what this sickness is. It started with my dad who is still sick but is on his third day, I just woke up with this today and have felt really bad until I slept some at like, 7:08 so I don't know what is going to happen, but it means I can't go to the BSA advance-a-rama which is annoying. :p oh well.

Tune in next time for my next Poem!

this is one of my poems

2009-02-23T22:04:00.005-05:00

Cows-

If I were a cow,
and I'm not,
I would see grass a lot,
wandering around,
Up and down,
Some times sleeping,
Some times eating,
Never knowing,
Where I'm going,
Always seeing grass.

If I were a cow,
And by now you know I'm not,
I would see the sun a lot,
Some times there,
As well as not,
I'm sure to see the sun a lot,
Aren't I?

If you think that as a cow, and I'm not, I wouldn't either sun or grass very much at all, or think that I am lying about it all, be sure to contact my complaint department. (over my head)

Thank you.

do you read lots of books?

2009-02-16T14:29:00.002-05:00

Well do you? I do, and the most recent one was called: The Candy Shop War. It was really good, it had a great plot, and interesting ideas, about such things as magic, time travel and magicians, it was really good. In this book, there are surprises, two betrayals, and a bad enemy a better enemy and a shocking end, which is described as the greatest sucker punch ever! you should try this book, the best thing about it is there is no dawdling, and no secrets! It made me feel exactly as the four, eleven year old heroes do.

THE CANDY SHOP WAR

The EG part 2

2009-02-16T14:25:00.001-05:00

Chapter one:

When Curtis McGuire was born, several odd things were noticed, one: that when his senile grandfather had named his grandson after himself, shortly before dieing, he hadn't seen 'Curtis' yet, so when they had shown 'Curtis's' new sister in to the birthing ward, she had called him Peter, from "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" and it stuck, so Peter it was, one minute later his sister noticed something else while she was telling Peter all of the face and hands, it was then shouted out to the whole room that Peter had a green thumb. Yes, quite literally Peter had a green left thumb, the color started at the knuckle and went all the way to the tip. Only until he was eight did they find out it was real.

to be continued...
(really, this is not the whole chapter 1.)

The EG>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> said ee-jee.

2009-02-14T16:11:00.002-05:00

<"><"><"><"><"><"><"><"><"><"><"><">

Prelude-

He could make wind with his mind, draw water from the ground or the very air simply with movements of his right hand, his left caused ice to creep where he wished of it. Stone and earth moved also at a mere twitch, he was an Elemental god, seven feet at full height, wore no shirt and short puffy knee pants. Bare-foot he has faced armies, assassins, (and the occasional Jedi) yet no scratches to memorialize these one-sided battles, and no lives left to remember the truth. But maybe this wasn't true, one day, long ago, he was faced with thirty or so unarmed men and woman, they were natives of the desert land where the EG reigns, They spoke and angered the elemental god, "I am all-mighty, I will crush you, I will wipe you clean from the face of the earth, of my domain." but they replied "Nay you are not, we humans have each something you will never have." He then killed them, all except one small boy, that had been shielded by his parents, and left unknowingly alive.

to be continued... Holy cow! I'm not sure how the boy survived, but I'm not sure it matters... oh well.

so this is a bit of some thing I wrote 4

Black figures,
Out of the night,
Spun and hooks and gave them flight.
Hooks caught,
Ropes taught,
Round and round the rope was wound,
Slowly, then the moon came down.
Their objective:
The old man,
The light in the sky for this nighttime land.
Stuffed in a bag,
Bound and quite gagged,
From there he was roughly dragged
To a man on a hill,
To a man with intent to kill.
For without the moon,
The light in the night,
No one could see him,
It would quite free him
From the confines Of hiding in pines,
Surrounding his house on the hill.
Now he could go out in the night,
Pillage, plunder, cause plight,
Turn houses into light,
Arson, thievery, burglary, theft,
Take what is wanted,
Leave nothing left,
It wasn't till his men got there,
That he noticed, what made him swear,
The old moon, old man,
still aglow,
sitting like a ball of snow,
All it took was a heaving throw,
to put him back where he should go.
-End-

This is like from last year.

The Ink back warhead is a dangerous Dragon to have around the house, like most Dragons. But the Ink-back, is so deadly that it is actually rather unknown, there is only one wizard who was lucky enough to actually survive a sighting of the Warhead and take an egg that was thought to be destroyed. with there scarcity and angry disposition, only one known Knight has been able to effectively slay one. (without dieing in the process.) Although human encounters are rare and wizard/Dragonologist more so. the A.D.W.A.K. (Association of Dragonologists, Wizards, and Knights.) have formed a rough picture formed of survived and non-survived sightings of the Ink-back Warhead. BE WARNED, this Dragon is very dangerous, enough for two dragons and protects it's young far after they have grown, and keep extensive family relations. Find one... Nope, fifty. If sighted consider your self lucky and in danger. If you see an Ink-back, run and get a camera and a Dragonologist, tell him where to look and hide.

Thanks for reading this!

here is the Second installment! oops, I didn't say that!

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was a wine bottle. I blinked rapidly to clear the haze from my vision. I now read that it was a bottle of Talus: Shiraz. I took my arm out from under the covers and reached for the wine, there were two glasses next to the bottle, one had the pink traces of being recently used, some one had visited while I slept, and brought this wine. I thought I had a hold on the bottle but it disappeared out of my hand when I lifted. "Ugh" I gritted my teeth and rolled over in bed, I hit the floor with a thump, my field of vision was really messed up. I groaned again and picked my self up onto my knees. I reached for the wine again, and caught a glass instead, I tried to pick it up and accidentally smashed it on the table. now I had glass shards in my clothes and down my sleeves. The guards must think I'm retarded by now. I went at the Talus again and managed to get a hold of it. It had been opened before but the cork had been replaced, fortunately the screw was still in the cork, as nimbly as I could I turned the bottle round to see when it had been made, the date read: 5/32/101009, that meant nothing to me so I grabbed at the cork with my left hand, as soon as I grasped it there was a searing pain shot through my whole left arm, I rolled over on to my back, dropping the prize, and clutching at my hurting arm, my hand had seized up and pulled the cork free from the bottle. Wine splashed across the concrete floor, staining my clothes. The pain had gone and I was still holding the cork and screw. I wished I was in a better state, that I could pick the lock and get rid of the guards outside. There was still wine in the bottle and my vision was improving, I decided to risk spilling the rest and make a stab at getting the wine, I got I the neck of the bottle, and downed it. After the wine there was a note, it was written on a small piece of water proofed leather: It read...

A field, in a jungle, on which an explorer slowly backs away in fear of the looming Monster he faces. the monster's head looks to small for it's car-sized bulk, it's curved beak is the size of the man torso, the curved arch of the monsters spine is lined with possibly sharp, four foot high, leaf shaped spines. The tail that follows is long and terrifyingly studded with arm-long sharp spikes. The much smaller front legs that still reach to the explorers shoulder, make the dinosaur-like creature, lopsided and awkward. The extra long back legs are thick and are at least double in height. All in all, this explorer has found something quite worth searching for, but will he live to tell the tale?

100,000 years in the future.
As I set down I realized that I was in a forest of trees thirty feet around, or more, and high as a third class skyscraper. And way up there were houses, the bottoms of the houses were not flat, but rounded, the corners filled by the trees.
Suddenly I noticed a small round doorknob. It was shiny and brass, sticking out of the tree trunk. I walked toward it, examined it and tried use it, as I pulled the door that was so well concealed, opened. Inside I seen first, an elaborate wooden spiral staircase, it was remarkable, made straight out of the living tree itself. Next and last I saw the source of the faint blue light. It came from several hand-sized, light-blue stones, light stones, embedded in the tree. They were smooth and squeaky to the touch, I ventured on, up the stairs, seeing that there was nothing else in this part if the tree. As I climbed I seen more and more light stones, some of which had been slightly obscured by twigs and their leaves, growing where there was light. As I neared the top there were more door knobs, some of which were fake, or locked from without. Nearer to the top I noticed a slight decreasing of the walls. At the top there were two doors, one was locked, the other was slightly ajar, I reached forward and cautiously pushed it open wider, beyond, there was a bridge, it was very high, and I wondered at the agility of the people who lived in this time, for there were no railings. only a slightly arched path was laid before me, the bridge was made from the branches of the two trees, the one I stood on, and the one I wished to cross to. the only safety precaution were flat boards, which were made of wood, and lashed down with vines. I carefully crossed and found my self looking at... Myself. There was a large sheet of glass, standing straight up and baring my way, but then I seen a knob, I pulled at it, the "door" opened. inside, was...

The Communications Merit Badge; Hard or Easy?

2009-01-04T21:21:00.001-05:00

The Communications Merit Badge; Hard or Easy?

This is a long standing argument in Boy Scout Troop 377.
The vote for Hard! is very much the winner, but recently, I am thinking otherwise, whether it is just me or the actual truth, remains to be seen.
As a matter of personal opinion, only a poll can say, but some facts can be reviewed.

The Communications Merit Badge has nine challenging requirements, as an example: Write a Five Minute speech, give it at a troop meeting. -bsa.

The Communications merit badge is an Eagle Required MB.

Communicating is some thing we do every day.

Another requirement is to make a web site, like this, with a picture or illustration, and at least one article. Also, a link to a web page helpful to the reader on the subject of the article. here is my link! This is a link to the Official BSA merit badge Communications Requirements.

So these facts are the basis for you to decide on your own, which is not necessary, so go forth and forget this all like my mom will. :)

This debate is of no consequence, it meets my requirement (I think) and I designed this blog just for that reason. Thank you

cautioning!

2009-01-04T21:04:00.000-05:00

cautioning!
the next post, or maybe the previous post, may be very confusing, that is because it is for a Boy Scouts of America Merit Badge requirement, which includes the explanation for the remodeling of the exterior appearance.

So, thanks for understanding. Hope you had a great holiday, is it not sort of odd that we wish each other a good holiday before the holiday, then after, when we don't have time, or interest,in my case it is the means, to actually hear what the persons holiday was like, we just wish that they had a good holiday.
Odd?

well, I think that the new name for the blog is appropriate.

if you think so Comment, or SAY YEAH!

thanks!

Chapter three!!!

2008-11-17T21:07:00.000-05:00

OMG!

here!
be sure to check a box at the bottom!

Chapter three

Joe woke at the very large gust of wind. When he opened his eyes which seemed very important to his simi-conscience mind, he seen Charlie holding his copy of: “The Practical Orphans Guide to Being Satisfied With What You Have, Whatever It Is You Get.” and dangling out the window, Joe became aware that this looked like suicide and leaped out of bed rushing toward his cousin,”Charlie don’t!” Charlie looked back his face was red and angry, “Joe, you made me miss the garbage truck!” Said charlie furiously.
“You were ‘angin’ out the window like a suicidal trapeze artist, and the suicidal part is the important word of the situation here!”
“I had to hang out, the garbage trucks have really big mirrors so they stick out from the walls.”
“Oh, you couldn’t just stick your stupid book in the paper recycle and not risk your life out a window. How did you even get the window open?”
“Know-how. Sorry I scared you Joe.”
“Apology excepted, Charlie. Do they even have breakfast out yet?”
This was a good question, from the lights outside, Charlie would have said 6:30, from the clock on the wall, Joe would have said 5:15.
Accordingly, they returned to their beds and slept until 10:30 when they received a sharp rap on the heads. Charlie and Joe were soon at the breakfast table eating sausage and biscuits with gravy that was sort of cold and pumpernickel toast with butter that was hard again and the last of the scrambled eggs with cheese, which also was hard.
Having overslept then eaten, they had missed an entire class and now were now on time for the next with no need to share the facts with the teachers. Joe headed to writing and Charlie went to Germany, as they laughed about in class.
They were still listening to Einsam and Charlie was increasingly feeling lonely of a family.
“Hello Nevery, did I get all of the answers right? The last few were tricky.”
“you got most of them right, Charles, but Why did you sleep till ten thirty?”
“I woke up really early and couldn’t get back to sleep until... Three sssomething. By then I was really tired and had to get some sleep.”
“How, early? Some students thought that they heard voices from your end of the hall.”
Charlie thought of Joe yelling like a baboon,”What time? I was up at like... 3:30, or so.”
“ I see, they said like, 5:00, something about suicide, most have been dreaming.”
The class wore on and soon they heard the lunch bell, and they scrambled as usual.
“I thought that would never end, no one got hit though.” said another boy named Volago Checkeroghe, who was from Denmark, and had been traveling with his parents when they had an accident that had killed his parents. The people that had found him next to his parents bodies had tried to send Volago back to Denmark, but found that he had no family there anymore ether. This was a joked about mystery, many children thought that his family were all murdered and that he was the son of a Danish rebel forces leader, who strived to make denmark a better place. This all pleased Volago, and the Danish orphan was very strong-headed about danish rebellion news, in the papers.
“Well, I never knew a new language could be so boring!” said Volago.
“Well, it’s not that it’s boring, it’s just, lame...” this was Conroy, who thought that every thing was lame, everyone else didn’t know what lame meant.
“Conroy, sush, German is a important part of our curriculum, you should be grateful that we are learning such a useful language.”this was Vince Applegate, the boy who thought he still had family but had runaway from them and lived in the orphanage on the pretense of not having parents, or any other family. He was one of those people whose last names stuck and it was an effort to say just his first name.he also never swore. It was also rumored that he was from Manchester.
“Not likely.” said Charlie. Siting down with the others at the lunch table and turning to Joe who was already there. “Any news?” Joe was in a writing class that taught through the papers, this often led to his knowing quite a lot about the goings on throughout Britain and sometimes farther out countries and their politics.
“Not much, Money Mansion Mr. Cillroy’s lawsuit is over, verdict is for him.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. The judges were quite against it, they were being unfair though, they brought in a judge that hadn’t been ‘swindled’ and he ruled for him.”
“That’s idiotic, how ridiculous, they judged wrong because they thought they had been scraped!”
“Seems so.”
How the rest of the day was spent was the same as the rest of other days.

Next.
Chapter two.

5 months later.

Charlie yawned, rubbed his eyes, and got hit on the head by his teacher. His teacher was a frenchmen called Nevery Cloghch, who carried a small, wooden ladle, that he used to make his classes more “interesting” for his students.
“Stey awake, or fail.” yelled Nevery, emphasizing the blow. Stay awake, or fail to stay awake, was what the class said. Nevery taught German, and they often where forced to listen to German play recordings. These were what were so boring, the plays themselves were entertaining, but they were in german and had to be translated.
Another student and orphan snickered, not unkindly, this was Gregory Thiss, his story was that his parents had been killed in a fire that he only just escaped, he had a rare medical ailment of his pupils not being able to contract, this seemed to have saved him from the fire, through being awaken by the blinding light, he then jumped out of the window, almost got run over by the fire brigades’ trucks, and now lived in the WHO, Water House Orphanage.
“What are you laughing at Gregory?” asked Nevery. Gregory shifted slightly, toward the window, at some point every student had been hit, none meant to get hit again, they just did.
Charlie rubbed his head, stood up and wrote on the black board, schließen Sie aber zu weit. Which meant, close but to far. Nevery laughed and strode up to the teachers desk, motioned for Charlie to return to his seat.
“now that that embarrassing show of apparent boredom is over with, we will return to the Ton des Spiels, and we shall pay more attention this time around.”
The class muttered apologies and agreements to this thought.
The play they were translating was called “Einsam” about a man that seemed to think that marriage was stupid and ended up very lonely and that giving it it’s name, the real play was about the man finding this girl that he had met before and had accidently “run off” and persuading her that he really liked her.
Charlie liked it, but it was really dramatic and slow, nevery was practically singing along with the opera, for it was also a musical.
Charlie was good at German and the plays test was rather easy for him, at the end of the day they consulted their textbooks and translated the play into english for an assignment.
The bell rang and they scrambled for lunch. There Charlie and Joe met and talked in a confusing jumble of different languages until they actually had something to say.
“That money mansion is being persecuted for fraud, they say that there is no money, the papers said that this mister Cillroy said that there assumption was correct. The PIs are furious that they spent two months looking for something that wasn’t there, they want a refund for there expenses, thats laughable, they voluntarily looked for riches and were fooled out of there own. Now they want both.”
“Well, they aren’t getting either of them are they?”
“nope, have you heard that the market is selling firecrackers again? Harry wants to set something on fire or blow something up so bad...”
“Are we going to get some?”
“Can’t, Jenra wont let us, says that we’ll hurt ourselves, we didn’t last time though.”
After lunch they resumed classes until dinner, after which they followed their own pursuits.

OMG!!!

Yes I am writing a novel!
It's called Einsam...
that's German...
I will be posting the chapters as written.
there is only one so far, this does not mean that I do not have more.
ha ha.

here.

Loneliness can easily be conquered by a lack of animosity toward those around you. Even in your present surroundings. And a family must be formed of love, not blood.

Chapter one

“Lack of animosity, huh, I’m still lonely.” Charlie looked back at Joe, his now sleeping cousin. Charlie was reading “the Practical Orphans Guide to Being Satisfied With What You Have, Whatever It Is You Get.” It was a morbid, lying book that most other orphans didn’t really understand, but were led to treat like a bible.
The orphanage was a good place, but the orphanage had no written “The Practical Orphan’s Guide T-,” if they had, Charlie was sure of two things; the book would not have such a long name, and that it would be a very nice book.
Now, in this room, in which our scene takes place, aside the mentioned, Charlie, the twelve-year-old protagonist of our minds-eye, Joe, cousin of our protagonist and supporting character, and the foully thought-of book that for some reason Charlie has read many, many times, there are a set of bunk beds in which the prone figure of Joe resides. There is a built-in wardrobe for both Charlie and Joe’s clothes. There is a poster in the door of Leonardo da Vinci’s famous flying machine design, and several dirty socks on the floor next to the wardrobe. Now that we are acquainted with our surroundings, we see that Joe has woken up.
“Charlie, you should be sleeping while you can, it’s Sunday as you full well know.”
Joe’s slight Scottish accent was in contrast to Charlie’s straight-forward British tones.
“I know I should, Joe, it’s just, I’d like to...”
“Every kid here would, Charlie, but you’re allowed to sleep at home, too, most likely. Now you’ve gone and woke me up. Oh well, best get on with tha day.”
“Sorry, Joe.”
“Breakfast.”
Charlie started for the door, as he did so, he started a new conversation, something stupid about Conroy, another boy at the orphanage.
Minutes later on the steps the subject turned to sayings,. Charlie an Joe were having a competition on who could think of the most sayings first. Charlie had 15 and Joe had 13.
“Curiosity is worth a million dollars! like Grampa said all the time.”
“thas 16 to you, what on earth is with you? do you just memorize sayings?”
This brought them to the second landing, where there was a young boy called, Harry Willow.
Harry Willow was seven and pretended to be a seven hundred year old warlock called Gora Mordack, he was actually rather fun to play with, he seemed to always to know some new trick they could use in their games, and he had designed the Great Wooden Sword, he also had a secret language.
Right now, he was in no mood for games. On his way down the next flight of steps he started mumbling about trips and Conroy.
“What did you say? what trip?” asked Charlie. Harry looked up at them.
“You, get to go to the old mans house and look for a million bucks.” he said.
“million bucks?” said Joe.
“Yah, you two, and Conroy, Spike, Pepper, and Vince Applegate get to go to a big mansion. who ever finds the money gets to keep it. You don’t even know about it.”
“Fancy that,” said Joe “I could buy a street with that, then toll it.”
“Joe! thats mean! I’d buy a library with it.”
“You won’t find it,” said Harry childishly, “There has been a thousand PIs though there, the whole place has been but torn apart.”
“Well aren’t we jealous.” said Joe, this was rude, since it was so obvious, but Harry was so rude himself so that it wasn’t a total bash.
They continued down the steps and soon at the breakfast table they were.
Promptly they were ambushed as usual by the headmistresses daughter, Nova. It was her style to ambush the children and she was the grand-daughter of the Headmistress that had accepted Charlie and Joe into the orphanage. She was twenty-two, and had no children, nor was she married.
“Oi, you got the pick to go to Mr. Cillroy’s mysterious money mansion,-”
“We know, Harry told us, he’s not very happy he con’t geo.” Said Charlie cutting her off.
“Oh, I thought, I could surprise yah, ow well.”
There was another accent, to add to the over-flowing pot of culture in the orphanage, they had higher-class British, lower-class British or cockney, Hartsfordshire swank, Scottish, and Irish.
“Harry said that Spike was going too? Is that okay?”
Spike was the amnesiac that had parents, but who could not remember any thing in detail after two weeks. This was very sad for him and Joe had become his best friend.
“Yah, heal be okay, long as Joe’s wid’em, You wont mind that Joe will you?”
“Nah, It’ll be fine.”
“Good.”
Nova turned on her heel, and strode away. At first they sat in silence. Then Charlie said;
“She didn’t tell us when we were going. Now we have to ask after breakfast.”
They finished in silence and got up with intent to ask, it turned out that they hadn’t need, for directly after depositing their now washed plates in the drying rack, they heard Nova calling to them, Spike, Vince applegate, and Conroy, to meet in the foyer to discuss what to bring and where to the house.
When they got there which took longer than expected because every body was going to the park and leaving through the foyer/door. Very complicated, as they were in the middle of the crowed, so when they reached the foyer they had to stay there. You may wonder just how big is this orphanage? Well, it has five floors and three dining rooms, curiously, they only ever needed eight cooks half of which weren’t on duty all the time, six teachers, and five general staff like Nova, all and all, oh and the Headmistress making twenty staff all to together.
“All wright, well, it being 10:20, we leave at two o’ clock. We should where aur best clothes, for we will actually see mister Cillroy hemself.”
It was Nova speaking and ti seamed to be her that was leading them to the house, but not sure enough.
“Are you the one thats taking us?” this was Conroy, who always asked if things were as thought, as such.
“Yeh, I’m not missing a chance to find the money.” at this they laughed. As was every one in the orphanage, Nova was very nice. Every one liked her.
They were dismissed, Charlie and Joe left to there rooms to prepare themselves.
“What do you think we should bring?”
“I can’t decide Charlie, I think that a code book would help, then again, we might need a magnifying glass might help.”
“True, this is a treasure hunt, maybe a notebook and pen would do. Who said we could bring only one thing?”
“Your wits are sharp, fifteen for me! No’ne said anything about that, we could bring a whole backpack full of stuff.”
“That is not a saying. Well what should we bring anyway?”
They eventually they decided, and walked down to the foyer where they waited for everybody. This wasn’t a very long wait and slowly they appeared. When Nova got there they discussed the bus they were taking to the house.
Everybody got there and they left, caught the two-fifteen bus and thirty minutes later they pulled up to an enormous wood-sided house that resembled a five story victorian mansion covered in scaffolding and sporting many pointed towers,reminiscent of castles in King Arthur days, it was.
Charlie took a deep breath and accidentally tried to gasp, failing, and breathing out fast, in order to gasp for real.
Joe, whistled, and muttered about how many people should live there and how he could buy it if he found the money.
Nova stood struck, Conroy, didn’t seem perturbed, Vince stared open mouthed, and Spike, had fallen asleep, during the ride and had not woke up yet, the driver had been hired for taking all of the orphans to the house before, was gawking at the house like everybody else.
“wow, we should probably go in.”
They woke up spike and did, trooping out of the bus and down the short decretive stone path to the front steps which led to the door.
Inside, more grand splendor awaited, there was a gianoramus glass and variegated stained-glass shards chandelier hanging from the fifteen-foot ceiling, there was more, but more interesting, was the podium that held the rules of the house.
Charlie walked forward to read it aloud;

This house is NOT the money,
Searchers may not harm the house in any way,
Count out paintings, the chandelier, and other artifacts of material value,
Untoward violation of these rules is obviously not allowed.
Your eyes will not see any money behind cupboards, or walls,
In the attic there is no money,
In the basement there is no money,
Outside there is no money,
Rugs are of no value.

No steeling.
You are being watched by cameras.
Thank you.

Charlie stood back from the podium,
“Well, clear as glass, seventeen.”
“ugh, wull, alls, good, that starts well, wait, thats wrong.”
“You two... Money time.”
They split up looking all through the house.
Joe thought that since there had been thousands of people searching before, that they should look in simi-obvious places, Charlie agreed, but thought that there must be some sort of catch, and that they should just sit down and solve the riddle. But then Joe pointed out that there was no riddle to solve.
Everybody crossed each others paths all ways asking vainly if they had found any clues.
Hours past, they had lunch, then dinner. they finely sat and thought after a riddle. not finding any they eventually, heard the bus coming and gathered up their things and left.

The melancholy way they arrived told the waiting orphans the news but there was still much questioning about the house and even more asking about the money by younger orphans that couldn’t tell or care for such non-worded answers. Nova told them all to go to bed which wasn’t all that unreasonable for it was right on their curfew, being worked out that way. All Charlie and Joe wanted to do was rest, and leave the telling for later. For once, Charlie liked the curfew.

The next day, was extraordinary. the breakfast tables were empty except the enormous knot of silent children listening to the children who went to the house tell about the house and explain their experiences and answer the many but correctly asked, questions. After each child spoke, there was an intense roar of applause.
Spike, who, for some reason, didn’t remember any of it, which, was weird because he usually could up until at least five days, stood in the crowed cheering and listing with everyone else.
Afterward, they eat breakfast, and had their normal classes, and went through their normal day.

to be continued............. in chapter two, and in stores next year!

thanks for reading,
Bet you didn't think it possible of me to write so much.

Bye!

knitting with the awesome red yarn!

2008-10-28T22:04:00.000-04:00

So I knitted something with that really cool red yarn.

I wanted to make a hackysack and so i looked up a pattern on Ravelry,

and I found several knitted patterns and used this:

Pattern from M. Nishioka [i-like-lemons.blogspot.com]
A sphere is such a versatile shape to have in one's knitting repertoire. I use this ball
pattern to make fruits, toys or something soft enough to throw at the television (oh like
you haven't wanted to throw something at the tv before).
(the pattern said that)

Materials
Set of US size 7 double pointed needles
Worsted weight yarn
Stitch marker
Material for stuffing (yarn scraps, batting, plastic grocery bags, etc.)
Yarn needle, for weaving in ends
Pattern
Cast on 6 sts and knit one row as for I-cord.
Divide sts equally among 3 dpns. Place stitch marker and begin to knit in the round.
Round 1: kfb all sts (12 sts)
Round 2: knit
Round 3: *k1, kfb; repeat from * (18 sts)
Round 4: knit
Round 5: *k2, kfb; repeat from * (24 sts)
Round 6: knit
Round 7: *k3, kfb; repeat from * (30 sts)
Round 8: knit
Round 9: *k4, kfb; repeat from * (36 sts)
Round 10: knit
Round 11: *k8, kfb; repeat from * (40 sts)
Rounds 12-14: knit
Round 15: *k8, k2tog; repeat from * (36 sts)
Round 16: knit
Round 17: *k4, k2tog; repeat from * (30 sts)
Round 18: knit
Round 19: *k3, k2tog; repeat from * (24 sts)
Round 20: knit
Round 21: *k2, k2tog; repeat from * (18 sts)
Round 22: knit
Stuff ball with yarn scraps, batting, etc.
Round 23: *k1, k2tog; repeat from * (12 sts)
Round 24: knit
Round 25: *k2tog; repeat from * (6 sts)
Cut yarn leaving a 6-inch tail. Thread needle with yarn tail, pull through remaining
stitches and knot discreetly. Run needle down the center of ball and through to other
side. Snip excess tail close to ball’s surface. Makes about a 2.5-inch diameter ball.
*****

on my way to finding the perfect pattern, I found two blogs on Etsy and a really awesome
juggling ball pattern that I couldn't even get from the library from the book it was in because
it was in a magazine.
now, i suggest making someone else or yourself read that paragraph aloud.

the first blog wasn't nearly as cool as the second but that is really just in comparison with the next.
http://shazzaspatterns.blogspot.com/
there are some really cool patterns here, but it is sort of hard to get past the first sight.
the Etsy was hers which really helps get over the look of her blog.
and I think she's Australian.

actually I found the perfect non-patterned ball first of all.
this

so anyway, then I found this really really really really really really really really really really really cool blog that I am now following,
here
www.i-like-lemons.blogspot.com

Just so you know, I found all of these patterns, blogs, Etsys, and such though Ravelry.
actually there was this too.
cocoknits.com

yah, I did tons that night.

then I knitted the pattern.

turned out like this:

you know how I'm a genius?
well I figured that i would put a racquetball inside my knitted ball, it fit perfectly!

this is edited by me!

here is a wordy post for you!

weird.

2008-10-21T10:13:00.000-04:00

2008-10-21T09:32:00.000-04:00

Ha ha, just yarn.
Okay, so we just got some yarn, to knit, cupla days ago and it was not from the store or any thing
it was from someknitters closet and this "ball" was the biggest tangle I ever sees.
so I decided to take it apart, I was already well in to it by the time I thought to show it to my Demographic, so there isn't a pic of the full knot.

this is the ball I had a the time of thinking to take the picture.

end product.

Woe, I feel terrible. I have been baby sitting, and ugh, pretty much says it.

Remembering is loud, me, my mother, and dad, babysat my nephew Henry.

He missed his mother terribly.

So when he woke, he would eventually remember that she wasn't there and start crying.
this is a really sad sound that explains my feeling badly.
Really, there's no other reason to feel poorly. Otherwise I don't have any evidence that it's (the sound), what causing anything.
it's rather sole harming.
makes me want to cry to. :"(
GAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
ohhhhh....
