Jellyfish story found on Yahoo.

I got this off of the Yahoo front news page thing:) This story is CRAZY!!! I can't believe she survived!! Just shows that God was watching out for her and that it must not have been her time to die:)

"In December, a ten-year-old Australian girl named Rachel Shardlow was attacked by one of the most venomous creatures in the world, the deadly box jellyfish. And, Rachel wasn't just stung. According to CNN, the box jellyfish completely enveloped her until she lost consciousness.

Normally, when a person meets a box jellyfish, the result is near instant death for the human. But Rachel not only survived her encounter; several months later, she's doing reasonably well. Her surprising story of survival has led at least one professor to credit her with being a medical marvel.

In an interview with Australia's ABC news, zoology professor Jamie Seymour said that Ms. Shardlow's injuries were "horrific." The doctor added, "Usually when you see people who have been stung by box jellyfish with that number of the tentacle contacts on their body, it's usually in a morgue."

Just how unlikely was Ms. Shardlow's survival? Again, according to the professor, "I don't know of anybody in the entire literature where we've studied this where someone has had such an extensive sting that has survived.”

The young survivor isn't 100% herself after being attacked. She has suffered some memory loss and has scarring on her legs where the jellyfish wrapped itself. Still, the father reports that Rachel's 'cognitive skills and memory tests were all fine.'"

Some very funny Brian Regan Videos

This is kinda hilarious! Although I was never in public school I'm sure that this pretty much hits directly to home for some.



This next is also very hilarious and also makes me wonder how the walkie talkie acquired it's name.




For those of you with glasses (Rachel) I think you will really enjoy this one. It's sssoooo true!! that's what makes it so funny.




I hope you enjoyed watching all of these:)

The History of Tenth Avenue North

This has got to be the most hilarious thing EVER!!!! This happened to be on my sister facebook page and when I saw it I thought that I definitely had to post this on my blog. Hannah and I thought that Rachel would like this but since she does not have a facebook anymore I thought the best course of action would be to publish this onto my blog so that Rachel may also enjoy the awesomeness of this video. I hope that whoever may watch this finds it just as entertaining as I did/do.

Tenth Avenue North is a pretty good band and now they have just gone up in my book of what I find awesome.

Volcano Lightning

This is CRAZY!!!!! But it's so beautiful! Who know that there was something this amazing!?! This would probably be something really spectacular to see in person, but it would also be pretty scary I would image. Nature is a crazy and beautifully amazing thing! God's so awesome to have been able to create such beauty! Every time I see stuff like this it just makes God seem all the more amazing!

Here's another awesome picture! Please click on it to see the whole image. :)

Avatar, The Last Airbender Movie

Probably the most amazing thing you will ever see:



I am really really really really really really really really really excited about this movie!!!!!!!! I LOVED the show and I can't wait for the movie!!! Midnight night showing all the way!!! WOOHOO!!! I just hope it doesn't seem like it's going to be awesome but then it ends up be terrible. I really don't think it will though because M. Night Shyamalan is directing it and I really like him so I think he'll do a great job! :)

Here's a slightly different Trailer of The Last Airbender, just to get you pumped up and reading for it's awesomeness! :)



I hope you're looking forward to it just as much as I am!!!!

The Stupidest Poem You Will Ever Read.

This is perhaps the STUPIDEST thing you will ever read in your ENTIRE lifetime, and I am sorry if this kills some of your braincells from reading this stupid poem that I was trying to write.

As the time goes by
I wonder why
What's the point in learning?

As I sit here staring
Not really caring
What tomorrow brings

Staring at an empty space
As I sit here in this lonely place
Waiting for the time to go

It's boring me I cannot handle
I wish this place were full of candles
That I might have the warmth of its light

For night is here and I can't sleep
or else I wish to feel defeat
of what I have not done

Misery is what I feel
I might be brought to tears
for I have not done what it is I must

My head is numb
I must succumb
to the fact I cannot win

That is why
I sit here and try
to think of a stupid poem

Misery is what I feel
I wish I could just focus here
and get thoughts in my head

It will not place upon itself
a face of words for which to tell
what the point is of this useless self

The point of learning
is the stirring of our hearts
that are yearning to
feel the Joy of success

I'm sorry that
you sat through this
and hope you have
a better time then I am

and that is the end of my stupid poem. I am very sorry that you sat through this and read this stupid thing.

Knott's Berry Farm

My sister Hannah and I just got Knott's Berry Farm passes! We haven't been to Knott's in so long we we're kind of missing it, and since we both hate Disneyland with a passion that cannot be denied we decided that we'd get Knott's passes from now on.

I had forgotten some things about Knott's. 1: It's rather small so it doesn't take fifty years to walk around that whole park. 2: It's never as crowded as Disneyland so you don't get as stressed out and annoyed at all the people that are there. 3: Knott's seems to make you feel more laid back and relaxed.

At Disneyland you always feel so uptight and pressured to get everything done in one day, and try to get on all the rides you can possibly get on in that one day. With Knott's it's different, for some reason you're able to just take it easy and relax. Just walking around the park seems fun and enjoyable.

When I went to Knott's again, after not having gone in so long, something strange happened. I was with my cousin's and their children and as we were walking around I thought "huh. When on earth did the cowboys get so hot?!?!". Yep that's right. I was completely in awe of how attractive the cowboys were. I was pondering so hard on why I couldn't remember the cowboys being when it suddenly hit me. The last time I had been to Knott's was when I was around 13 (I think), so that's why I couldn't remember the cowboys being hot. When I had been there last time I was so young that all the cowboys seemed so old to me so I had no interest in them. Things have certainly changed now. I can't wait to go to Knott's again and see all those cowboys. ;)

Diagnosis

This post is to let everyone know what was wrong with my car. I have written exactly what he had written, so all spelling errors or grammatical or punctuation errors are all his and not mine.

"5828 high pressure fuel punp inop warr test drove vehicle to verify customer concern found it misfiring on cold start interrogated fault to perform test plan with latest version of isid would not let me perform test plan for misfire detection. Initiated own test plan for misfire detection. Test plan suggested checking coils and plugs did that found them normal at this time. Test plan suggested that there might be a blockage in the fuel system or fuel line or that that vehicle may have a defective fuel pump. When I pressed continue in the test plan to complete, test plan sent me back to the first page where it suggested I check plugs and coil. Replaced high pressure fuel pump cleard adaptations and faults test drove vehicle to verity repair."

So there you have it. My car just needed a new fuel pump thing:) Now my baby is just as smooth a ride as ever! I really love my car:)

At the Dealership

In case you didn’t know, I have a Mini Cooper. I really love my beautiful dark blue, turbo charged, sports car! My parents surprised me with it on my birthday (Oct 3). I wasn’t expecting them to get it for me at all! My mom never wanted me to have one because she said that it was basically a tin can, and if I got in a car accident I would be crushed inside my car into itty bitty pieces. I was sure I would most likely never get a Mini Cooper unless I were to become a billionaire or marry one. So I was set on never getting one. I came home from DL (Disneyland) one night, at midnight, and there it was, sitting there in all its glorious beauty, MY Mini Cooper. At first I was like “who’s car is in the driveway” but then I see everyone outside with cameras and then I realized it was mine! My parents had bought me a Cooper!

I was so shocked that I didn’t really know what to do. Hannah (sister) was in the car with me when we got home so when we got home she started to yell at me telling me to get out of the car. She says she wasn’t really but she totally was! Anyways, I got out of the car and just started hugging people. Mom, Dad, Biz, Greg (this was before Greg had been retarded and left the house). Mom asked me why I was hugging Biz and Greg (since they weren’t the ones who had bought the car) and I told them that I didn’t know. I think I was just in such a state of shock that I wasn’t really sure what I was doing. It was amazing! It’s really hard to surprise me but they sure did it. My car is the best car on the face of the planet!

Anyway. All this to say, my engine light turned on so I had to take it to the dealership to get it checked out (I have free maintenance for 5 years, thank you mom and dad). I’m not sure whats wrong with it yet so I’m just sitting here waiting to find out the diagnosis. My poor car. I LOVE YOU BABY! Oh! By the way, my cars name is Georgiana:) Yes, I named my car:) You got something to say about that?

Crazy stalker dude named Greg

My sister and her husband are having marriage problems. Which they have been having basically ever since they got married. Greg has been acting really retarded and doing and saying stupid things. He’s been saying things about how Bizzy (Elizabeth) is now mean all the sudden and he doesn’t understand why. He’s been blaming ALL of their marriage problems on Biz and that he had nothing to do with it. I’m not saying Elizabeth is a saint or anything, she has down her fair share of not helping the marriage, but hello dude! It takes TWO to tango! He’s such an idiot. He has a key to our house and he’s been coming over whenever and going straight into Bizzy’s room and waking her up (it’s usually sometime in the morning when he comes over) and saying really ridiculous and really mean things to her and then he leaves. So my parents decided if he wanted to see Lilly (Elizabeth’s and his daughter) or Bizzy then he would have to call my dad or my mom and let them know he was coming, so that one of my parents could be there when he is there so that he doesn’t say rude things to Bizzy anymore (and so that they can monitor the visit and know exactly what is being said).

Well this morning he said he was going to come over, so my mom stayed home so she could stay with Bizzy. My dad left the house about seven in the morning and apparently he saw Greg’s car outside so when he got to the shop he called my mom to see if she had talked to Greg or not about his actions and what he’s been doing to Bizzy. She said that she hadn’t; she didn’t even know Greg had been here. She went into Biz’s room to find out what happened and found out that Greg had snuck into the house after my dad left (Greg has a key) and went into Bizzy’s room and said some things to her and then her left. WHAT A CHICKEN AND BIG FAT JERK!!!! He’s like a crazy stalker or something! I’m just really mad right now because Greg is being such a retarded jerk and acting like a child. Apparently he can’t man up at all. GAH!! He’s so annoying. He’s already decided he’s going to divorce Bizzy so why does he keep on coming back?

GAH!!

I do not want to deal with these people! Who are these people you ask? Well lets just say they are these really annoying people who like to come over to the house and let their children run wild and not pay any attention to what these children are doing. As the children scream and start playing with things they shouldn't and breaking things and losing things. It just drives me CRAZY!!!! Why do they always have to come here?!?! Don't they have there own place that they can trash? Their also extremely BAD parents! Well at least the mother is. I only ever see them fight and then discipline the kids when they don't really need to be disciplined. All I ever hear is them complaining. They almost never have anything good to say, it is always negative and it really gets on my nerves! They'll come to do one specific thing that should only take a few minutes and stay for 5 HOURS!!!! They're not even married yet and their always talking about getting married (well at least she is) but with the way they are with each other how on earth are they supposed to have a happy marriage? Why even start something like that when in the end it is going to end up in divorce. It REALLY irritates me! They also say some really negative things around Elizabeth about her husband when she really shouldn't be hearing these things. She already got enough negative thoughts about Greg to last her a whole lifetime, why give her more?

I'm sorry about venting about this on here but I was just getting really annoyed and I had to get it out somewhere. I can't necessarily go to there faces and chew them out now can I? Well I could and I probably would but that wouldn't be the right thing to do. The probably is, when they're here that means I have to watch their children because they aren't doing it. I tend to get annoyed with children very easily so me needing to watch doesn't really help my mood when I'm already angry at the parents for being retarded. I know it's not the kids fault that their parents are stupid so I don't take it out on them. I just think the parents need to see where they need to change and see there faults and try to fix them.

I'm sorry yet again for this post. I just had a lot of venting to do.

Happy Easter! :)

Aren't family traditions fun! Unfortunately there will not be any traditions today. You see my family usually goes to my Aunt Faith's house, she lives in LA, for Easter and we eat lots of yummy food and have fun Easter egg hunting. You're never to old to hunt for Easter eggs! :) After we're done with the hunt my cousins Molly and I (and sometimes my sister Hannah) like to count all of the eggs that we found and see who is the winner of the egg hunt. After we're down counting we like to open our eggs and see what kind of goodies we got. Then we eat lots of candy and get really sick from to much of it. After that my family goes back to our own house.

Once we're home, if we remember, we like to color hard boiled eggs. These colored eggs usually end up sitting in our fridge until they rot. What was the point in coloring the eggs if we don't want to eat our beautiful artwork? Well...it's because it's fun and it's a traditions although, for the past couple years we haven't remembered to color eggs and it makes me sad once I realize it. Hopefully I'll remember to do it this year! Maybe since there are children here we might remember to color eggs this time. We aren't going to my Aunt Faith's house this year, which I don't know why, so it's kind of sad. Oh well. Life will go on.

When the family is all together things tend to get a little silly and old childhood memories start coming back to us all. My oldest sisters, Sarah and Rachel, started to talk about this one memory of theirs which had to do with Rush Limbaugh making fun of Hilary Clinton for using "Family Values" in one of her speeches. Apparently we were all at our old old shop and we were listening to Beach Boys when something really weird happened. It started to record what was going on while still playing the song. By the times someone realized what was going on it had recorded some hilarious things. In the background you could hear Rachel quoting Rush Limbaugh's "Family Values" and you could also here someone getting spanked, which was most likely Hannah she was always getting spanked, and you could also here someone singing in the background. To this day whenever Rachel hears "Family Values" her mind goes start back to this memory of when the cassette tape all the sudden started to record what was going on.

All this to say is that when family gets together it kinda gets crazy.
