20 Things You Didn't Know About Me

There's lots of things people don't know about me. Such as, I'm a seriously serious Doctor Who fan (Okay maybe people do know that) or that um... I had two fish named Sherman and Sugar. 20 things you didn't know about me.

1. I have 3 siblings.
2. I used to hang out with what would be considered nowadays as "popular kids". In elementary school.
3. I can somewhat play piano.

6. I have yet to watch Eclipse, which I got for Christmas
7.The cake is a lie.

9. I love to read. I'll read anything, even the phone book if given the chance.

20. I can't believe you read twenty facts about me.

Rant of the Day: Creepy Nursery Rhymes

We've all grown up listening to nursery rhymes. Some of us actually remember all of the lyrics! But we sing creepy nursery rhymes to children, sometimes without realising it.  So here's a list of creepy rhymes.

Creepy Rhyme #1: Rock-a-bye Baby
Lyrics: Rock a bye, Baby
In the treetop,
When the wind blows the
Cradle will rock
When the bow breaks
The cradle will fall
And down will come baby,
Cradle and all
Creepy Factor: Read the lyrics again. First, the baby's in A TREE. So, we start a song off with some neglectful parents. And then the cradle falls from the tree, with the baby. Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention this song's about SIDS. Pleasant.

Creepy Rhyme #2: You Are My Sunshine
Lyrics: The other night, dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
But when I awoke dear,
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine,
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my
Sunshine away
Creepy Factor: It sounds like a mother was dreaming she was holding her baby, but when she woke up she was mistaken, and cried. So then the second verse says, "You'll never know dear/how much I love you/Please don't take my sunshine away/".  Another song about SIDS. Why do we sing these to children?

Creepy Nursery Rhyme #3: I Had A Little Bird
Lyrics: I had a little bird
His name was Enza
I opened the window
And In Flew Enza
Creepy Factor: Originally written in 1918 about the Spanish Flu. Take a look at the line, And in flew Enza. Say it out loud. Then again. Now you get it.

Creepy Nursery Rhyme #4: Ring Around the Roses
Lyrics: Ring around the rosies
Pockets full of posies
Ashes, ashes,
We all fall down
Creepy Factor: It's about plague. "Ring around the rosies" refer to the round, red rash that was one of the first symptoms of the Black Plague. "Pockets full of posies" refer to how people would place flowers around infected people, or to mask the smell of death. "Ashes, ashes" is a variation of the sound sneezing makes; sneezing was also a symptom of The Plague. "We all fall down" is a reference to the many dead. And we sang this as children.

Creepy Nursery Rhyme #5: There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly
Lyrics: There was an old lady who
Swallowed a fly
I dunno why
She swallowed a fly
Perhaps she'll die...
Creepy Factor: The unnamed lady swallows more and more things to get the things that supposed to get the fly. She dies in the end. A message about suicide, maybe?

Creepy Nursery Rhyme #6: London Bridge Is Falling Down
Lyrics: London Bridge is falling down
falling down, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
My fair lady

Take the key and lock her up,
lock her up, lock her up
Take the key and lock her up
My fair lady
Creepy Factor: Oh, noes! It looks like the bridge is falling! I know what we should do: let's take a 9-15 year old child and lock 'em in the bridge for good luck! No, seriously. Back in the day, people would take children and cement them into bridges for good luck because they believed the only way to keep a bridge up is by offering a child as a sacrifice to the gods. Historians say there was once a time where the bricks of London Bridge was bespattered with the blood of little children. Yikes! Historians also say that in the Great Wall of China, they found over 100,000 little childrens bodies buried within. D:

There was a teen who posted some rhymes
She posted the rhymes to send a message
I dunno why she posted the rhymes
They're kinda creepy.

And we sing 'em to children. Pleasant dreams!

Sick-tionary

Hey! I'm sick. With what? I don't know, but I don't have a fever and my throat hurts a bit so I stayed home from school yesterday and today. I always know when I'm sick, aside from feeling like death, if:

• I don't want to go to school. I am a nerd, without school I die.
• I just want to sleep.
• I can't talk. I'll start stuttering. And stuff
• I start hearing things.

 Since the first two are too boring to ramble on about, I will ramble about the latter two.
When I'm sick I can't talk very well. Notable example today was I was reading Emma's Washington post and I was trying to read the caption aloud to my mom sitting at the table: "...Dalek Sect-- Set--SEC! Dalek SEC!"  or I'll be like " I c- I c- I can't talk!" See, right now, I can't even type without hitting the space bar.

and then I start to hear things. Like on Monday, I thought I heard Mr. S say we could leave, but he didn't so I got in minor trouble for that. I had two possible explanations for that: 1. I was high. Not very likely and very illegal. 2. I'm sick. Very likely and less illegal.

Sickness Sucks. SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR SSSSSSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

What You Do When You Find Out That Neil Gaiman Wrote An Episode of Doctor Who Called The Doctor's Wife

Need I say more?

By the way, this is the 200th post.

Revenge is Sweet

So there's this student teacher for Vase. We'll call him, Mr Krueger because he's either mean, or pyscotic or a mixture of both. But one thing everybody knows for sure is that he has to go. For real.

Lemme rewind. On Tuesday one of the girls in my class was talking to this boy who sits next to her about how she touched a bat because it was stuck in her pool. Mr Krueger caught them and said, "You two can flirt later." Not bad, that's something even Vase would say. But as the girl tried to explain Mr Krueger told her that you could get rabies from touching a bat, which we all should know is true. You're probably saying that Mr Krueger is just being a good Samaritan, right? Well, let me continue before you go judging. So, two days later (aka today, if you lost track) Mr Krueger is still calling the girl "Rabid" and "Rabies" AND telling the class not to talk to her. And no, he's not joking.

I've also heard in my social studies class that he's a bit of a perv, and called a student smart"butt" (hey, gotta keep it family friendly) multiple times. He also calls one student in my class Special Ed, when he's not. Well, Vase sometimes calls him that, but it's a special kind of funny when she does. Not like when Mr Krueger does it. He says it mean. Mr Krueger also onced asked a somewhat short girl what the average height of a midget is. Now does he seem like a good guy?

But as the saying goes, revenge is a dish best served cold. In social studies today, we passed around a piece of notebook paper and used it to write every mean or rude thing he's ever done to us. We are gonna turn it in either to the principal or the counselor. Either one works. Also the girl in my class who is called "Rabies" by Mr Krueger is going to record him saying every mean thing so we have actual proof that he is a psychopathic axe murder in his spare time.  Mr Krueger has got to go.

I've Got Spirit, Yes I Do...

I've got spirit, how 'bout you? Today marks the start of my school's Spirit Week. Today was Decade Day, so what better to celebrate the decades than by dressing as a time traveler. That's right, I dressed as the Tenth Doctor. I give you pics!

Half-built Daleks don't stand a chance.

Yeah, you're totally jealous aren't you, Britain?

Timey-Wimey Detector: goes "Ding!" when there's stuff.

 

Yes, that is a plastic replica of the Tenth Doctor's sonic screwdriver. Yeah, best Spirit Week costume ever. I'm going as the Doctor for Halloweenies.

Doctor Who, What Have You Done To Me?

A crack in the shade of my dad's apartment. Exactly like the one in Amy Pond's wall. This can only mean two things: Prisoner Zero has escaped or it's just a crack in time and space. Curse you, Steven Moffat! You've made me afraid of statues, shadows, gas masks (not to mention WWII in general), and now cracks. Great job.

This is a table of some sort.

This is a dresser with pearls and shells and it's pretty.

It's a fox.
