THE QUESTION FOR THE POLL ABOVE IS NOT SHOWING UP, AND I'M NOT SURE WHY. THE QUESTION IS: WOULD YOU LIKE MY BLOG BETTER IF I CHANGED THE FONT TO SOMETHING A LITTLE EASIER TO READ? IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR AND HAVE A NICE DAY.
Okay, now that I'm done with that, Top of the eve'ning to ya'!Kiss me, I'm Irish! Happy St. Patrick's Day! I hope you all wore green. I almost forgot this morning, but then my mom came downstairs and reminded me, and I changed my shirt before school. I was already wearing green cargo pants and actually was trying to decide between a green shirt and a gray shirt. I chose the gray, but the green shirt was laid out already so I could change really fast! Subconsciousness, much? A lot of people were wearing green at school. Even though I don't have anything shamrock or leprechauny, I think my green "puffins rock" shirt was sufficient.
What else happened today? In math we switched seats. I am now sitting next to this "jork" as I like to call them -half jock and half jerk (did it ever occur to you how close those words are to each other? Coincidence? Hmmmm...), who, let's just say isn't the most desirable option of seating. Ugh, jocks. I'm also pretty far in the back, which will be bad if I forget my glasses.
In art class we're making self-portraits. But here's the catch: It can be yourself at any time in your life. Mine is a picture of me at age maybe one or two. I look really evil. Yes, you heard me, evil. Imagine a really chubby munchkin wearing overalls and a pink striped shirt. Now the munchkin is trying to take over the world, and it's face looks kind of like the Grinch's in the old movie (the cartoon one) when he has the Santa idea. Oh, and you know how they make you pose with stuffed animals? I look like I'm trying to strangle my Piglet. Ah, what a happy time.
So, new contest. Leave comments telling about your wildest St. Patrick's Day ever. If your St. Patrick's Days are all pretty boring, make up a crazy story. Mine was when I was 7 or 8 and I went to Bennigan's (which is totally closed now, they went out of business during the economic crisis, like Barnes and Noble, which makes me sad because I really liked both of those places. D: ). Anyway, they gave me a shamrock necklace that said Budweiser, and since I didn't know what that was, I wore it to school the next day. Not that interesting, but I figure some of you guys have had more St. Patrick's Days than me. Yup, I will read your St. Patty Day comments and choose a first, second, and third place winner. Oh, and if this goes well, I will have a lot more contests because I think their fun.
And for the sake of randomness: Olmecs are amazing!!!
You'll hear more about that later. Maybe.
OK, so it's kinda late to be posting to this article since St. Patty's day was two days ago. Also cause I don't really have any good stories about that blessed day. The only thing that even remotely comes to mind that amuses me has been watching the popularity of Tookie Doyle's album, "St. Patty's Day Bash" creep up slightly popularity in iTunes after Patty released her singles. So when you search in iTunes for "Patty Doyle" you get both her's and Tookie's songs returned. Initially Tookie's popularity was flat, nothing, zilch, but about a month after Patty's release, One of Tookie's songs had picked up a bar or two of popularity. I'd like to think Patty contributed to that. Even if the only discernably Irish thing about you is your name, it still feels good to help out a fellow countryman/woman. Which begs the question: Is Tookie a guy or a girl?
