I bet you didn't know this but...

...it's Fall! *gasp gasp*
Yeah, you've been enlightened. No need to thank me, it's just what I do.
Halloween is the day after tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Halloween. You get free candy AND get to dress up without people thinking you're totally insane/weird. It's like the best idea ever!**

I'm hungry. I bet you so wanted to know that. Again, there's no need to thank me.

If you read this blog, could you please either follow or comment? It'd be nice to know if people actually see/read this.

Today I went to buy a bagel and one of the librarians from my library was there! She was buying a bagel too. It was a very exciting experience. I think I'm gonna write a book about it.

Earlier, my little sister spilt hot tea down her front. Now she has a burn down her chest. Can you say "OW"?
Hellooooo! I didn't hear you say it!
*grumbles about the weird people in this world*

I'm currently writing a paper where I have to give examples on some Homeric Similes in The Iliad.
This is what I have so far:


Homer often used similes in his books. A simile is “a figure of speech in which two unlike things are explicitly compared, as in “she is like a rose.”” Homer’s use of similes in his storytelling give a vivid image of what’s happening. He most often used similes when describing a battle.

Homer also used a lot of similes that use animals as an example. Such as this one:
"As ravenous wolves come swooping down on lambs…so the Achaeans mauled the Trojans." (p. 424, 415).
This simile gives a clear image of what is happening. It means the Greeks are viciously fighting the Trojans, who really have no chance of surviving.

There is also many similes that use the elements as examples.
“As a heavy surf assaults some roaring coast,
piling breakers on breaker whipped by the West Wind,
and out on the open sea a crest first rears its head
then pounds down on the shore with hoarse, rumbling thunder
against some rocky spit, exploding salt foam to the skies-
so wave on wave they came, Achaean battalions ceaseless,
surging on to war.” (p. 159, 489-495) This simile shows how powerful and never-ceasing the Greek army is. It calls to mind a vivid image of the Greeks charging the Trojans.

Blech. I hate how when you copy&paste something the spacing gets messed up :(
And blogger is stupid so the spacing on my paper is gonna be all weird in this post.

THE END

**with the exception of inter-library loans. Those are awesome. So yeah, Halloween & inter-library loans are great ideas. A not so great idea is making toast and drying your hair while you're in the shower.

Glitter Pirate

Thanks Angela for following this blog! :D

Cinnamonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!

Mom made cinnamon rolls without the the cinnamon.
Redundant, much?
They are good, though! :)
I finally finished writing all my history papers for this quarter! Yay! *happy dance*
Now I just have to finish The Iliad and all of those papers and I'll be caught up!

Halloween is almost here! :D
CANDY CANDY CANDY!!!! :)
Creepy Halloween guy says hi:



















Random picture:


.
I took it myself with my camera :D
My camera is a red Sony DSC-T300
The little thing has tons of different settings (some of the stuff is really technical) and takes really good close-ups for not being a DSLR. :)
THE END
update: for some reason, Blogger keeps messing up the spacing in this post and making the text underneath the flower picture wraparound the side of the picture. I tried to change this but it wouldn't work :(
So sorry if it's hard to read!
THE REAL END

*meow*

Thank you, Cat for following my blog :)
♥ ya!

300 symbols/letters!

PC users with a number pad:
If you ever wanna GREAT way to waste time, hit ctrl and a number on the number pad at the same time. That's how I got all of the above thingamajigs. Except for the smilies that are made up of multiple letters/symbols. Those I did the normal way.

Security=Fail

So yesterday, I bought a dress from my favorite store. The cashier dude forgot to take off the plastic security tag thingamajig. So now I have to take the dress back to get it removed.
Evidently this store's security system is either broken or fake.
Both are possible.
Blah! I'm soooo bad at blogging. You could say that it's just because I need practice at it. But the TRUTH is that my thoughts are too random to even make sense so I don't know what to post. Because this blog has to be readable, ya know?
Joke of the day:
Where does the one-legged waitress work?
The IHOP!!!
*laughter*
You know that joke is just the epitome of clevernessnessness!
OOHHH! Wanna way to waste tons of time online?!

Random plug for my favoritest TV show:

If you know what's good for you, you'll watch! :-P

Speaking of USA, the new show White Collar is good!

My nails have random spots of different colors on them.
I bet you didn't know that.
I also bet that your life is so much better now that you do.
There's no use denying it.
We all know it's true.
Whether or not you admit it, is up to you.
But the truth remains the same.

The end is near!
Wait for it...wait for it... waaaiiiit foooor iiiiiiiiiiiiiit...

THE END!

Random Thoughts Are...

...Pretty much all that's gonna be in this blog. Yeah. So, you've been warned!
