Mood: Grumpy–back off!
…In which, yours truly, speaks
Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax—
Of cabbages—and kings—
And why the sea is boiling hot—
And whether pigs have wings.
And generally just finding something wrong in everything.
I am working again this Summer, I’ve been working there three weeks and am very ready for the end of it, but strangly today I want to go. Beats me why I want to, but I kind of do. All the same I’m glad I don’t.
I’ve taken up residence in the Soybean Department of this company, I’ve hoed and rogued about 16 blisters onto my hands (counted). And dumped beans until my arms bulge and the dust makes the place swim. I’ve taken alfalfa samples with three very sweet men, went shoot capping (corn capping) in the rain, and taken plant notes. It’s a interesting job, but I’m actually there to cross soybeans. If any of you come visit me bring a soybean plant and a pair of tweesers, I’d be delighted to show you how. Learn you.
When crossing I generally make 70 crosses in 6 hours, but I’m going generally 4 hours this year and my quota for this week is pretty bad:
Day 1: 41 crosses
Day 2: 39
Day 3: 25
Day 4 20
Day 5 (yesterday): 40
Ick, that oozes with distaste and poor work. But, in my deffence, it’s the plants’ fault.
WOnder of wonders, I’ve been tagged, the tag fad kind of went down, and now it’s the "award" fad. Heh, no creativity at all… Anyhow 10 interesting facts about myself. Hmmmm….
1. I always stir sour cream before using it
2. When working (see job discription/talk above) I normally go for days with very dirty feet.
3. I’m in four RPs in a particular forum.
4. I haven’t got a bloody nose in ages.
5. Speaking of blood, I’ve been to the hospital several times and have stitches in two places, and I don’t normally put band-aids on anything.
6. I have a cold.
7. I’m considering weedling my way into a MercyMe concert.
8. I’m appalled by the Prince Caspian news.
9. I’ve only been to three states, and never out of the USA, (my sister was in Canada for about three minutes and I envy her, I was out fishing).
10. I’m known as "the dorky girl who doesn’t like pants, hates shopping, and doesn’t have a boyfriend." I am unbelievably cool.
By now everyone has heard of the "Blogger Reflection Award," right? Jocelyn started it at the beganning of the award fad. Well, the MaidensOfModesty Blog as awarded it to me. They were very sweet about it, and just about made my day when I learned about it.
And now the day as come, a day I never thought would, I am awarding some bloggers.
Bookwyrm The Green, The Sixth Wizard’s Xanga -
Bookie always has something to encouraging and funny to say. He has such a wonderful since of humor I love venturing to his blog. We don’t agree about everything, Harry Potter and The Lord Of The Rings for exmple. But just like the Inklings so long ago, differences aren’t a problem.
BuBbLyLu, BuBbLyLu’s Blog -
Bubbly is very darling, she comes across as this hyper happy-go-lucky girl, and then you go red her blog and it’s full of stress, stress, stress, how does she do that?! Bubbly, you must learn me in appearing happy when really not. She’s "really really sweet" just fun to be around. One fun thing about her blog: the smilies. She puts just the right smilie in at just the right time to make the most wonderful and striking connection; it’s usually rather funny.
The O, A Sneak Peak -
The O is a jovial young woman, just out of highschool and into college, I’d often stay up late at night conversing with her, writing with her, blogging together. She’s fun, interesting, and full of spunk ( *giggles-behind-hand*). I love reading her blog and getting a peek into the life of a missionary’s daughter.
Heather, A PianoLover’s Blog -
Heath is my sister, what more can I say?! Okay fine….
She’s a careful, sophome, Godly, hardworking, etc., etc., etc., blogger. Her blog is great to go to because of how thoughtful it often is, and because…well it’s fun to peek into her life, though she tells me alot of what she’s thinking before she writes it.
Rydian, Haven Of Heroes -
Rya, she also as these ranty posts, going on and on about whatever, she doesn’t pick a topic like some and start putting forth scientific scientists. So, dare I say?, her blog is even more interesting then those random facts of everyone elses. She’s my dear neighbor, why shouldn’t I award her?
Well, just thought I’d post well I can, because if you don’t post within’ a couple of days people think you’ve droppped off the face of the earth, It’s quite annoying. That’s why I’m not great friends with most of you, y’a'll bug me to death. Guess I’d better get off the computer before I do anything rash about it. Like go join Xanga and hang out with all the stalkers that I’m sure reside there, stalkers are so nice. (*giggles*) I’ll leave you with this…
O Daddy
Daddy O
How’d you get
Those legs to grow
So very long
And lean in size?
From spiderobic
Excercise?
Did you drink milk?
Or chew on cheese?
And by the way,
Where are your knees?
O Daddy
Daddy O
How’s you get
Those legs to grow?
**On a side note, if it’s alright with the Blogger Reflections creator I’m going to make my own banner.
