as we all know last sunday was Easter, and mine started out pretty silly. these days with me getting older i don't really want to get up at the crack of dawn to find the Easter eggs, so i sleep while my younger brother finds them all. after he has done that, he always rehides them so i can find them again when i get up and am able to move.
but this year i had a little help from my goat-dog Bo. i'd just be walking around the house searching for them when Bo would come up behind me looking all mischeivious. so i'd investigate and it turns out that he had an egg in his mouth. so i took it out and immediately after i did so, he started sniffing around for another one. then, about five minutes he walked up to me with yet another egg. i was thinking all right, i got me an egg finding dog this is going to be a lot easier than i thought! and it was, soon enough he came up to me with another little colored egg in his mouth. Bo helped me out a lot this year, he ended up bringing me three of them and eating another, not bad for a dog i thought. i bet next year they don't hide the eggs within doggy reach... muah ha ha!

Not Left Handed? HA!!
the other summer my mom and i decided to go to a dude ranch out in Colorado and it was amazing. we got to ride horses all day, go white water rafting, and eat the most amazing home made food i have ever tasted before. but one of my most favorite days was when we decided to go out target shooting. i was in somewhat of a dilemma because i write with my right hand, but i do almost everything else with my left hand so i had no clue which way i should be holding the gun. the guy who was leading the whole thing, Eric, suggested that i tried shooting with my right hand first. so i did, and succeed i did not.
then, when i had had enough and was ready to try it left handed the man who owned the ranch came out and said, "I've never seen anyone try to shoot that gun left handed there's no way you'll be able to do it." he sounded pretty confident, so i being quite strange took this as a challenge. not hitting a single clay pigeon yet right handed i boldly said to him, "Oh yeah? Watch me." so i yelled to Eric, "PULL!" the pigeon flew through the air, i aimed, and bam! first shot and i hit it! i couldn't believe my eyes and i don't think anyone could believe theirs either. here i was some short little chick who had just achieved what nobody else had yet. i was proud of myself, it was cool.

Trees Hurt Cars
so last summer about two months after i got my license i decided i needed to kill my car i guess. why, i really couldn't say. of course i didn't actually do it on purpose but it happened and i freaked big time.
i was driving my brother and his friend home from lunch at the Red Frog and we were coming around one of the last corners before my house. it was one of those on-and-off rainy days so the roads were a bit damp at the time you could say. plus it was sort of sandy as well so that didn't really help anything. so i start to slow down to go around the corner when i realize that i wasn't really slowing down at all. i then start to turn the wheel and try as hard as i could to stay in the road when SKIIIIIIIIIDDD BOOM!!! it happened, i slammed into the tree and there was no stopping it. after the jolt forward i see my hubcap fly across the yard and i went straight into panic. i ran outside to the front of my car and i could see that the poor thing had quite the headache. no more front right panel for my car; and it all happened not even two blocks away from my house, another 30 seconds and we would've been home! but that's just my luck, or stupidity is what i probably should say.
ouch

Wuh Happen?!
ok so me and my amazing twin got the random idea to go snowboarding last sunday and snowboarding is what we did... sort of. she had never been snoboarding and it had been a few years or so since i have last; it got a little ugly at times one could say. i'm not sure how much snowboarding we actually did, but the board was definately attached to our feet if that counts. emily actually broke part of her board twice to the point where we had to bring it in and they had to use some fancy tools to fix it, we laughed, it was pretty bad. of the two of us emily definately won the prize for most intense wipe out and i acheived the longest accidental slide down a hill on my butt ever. it was crazy, but i'd say overall we were quite awesome, no doubt about it. we actually ended up boarding for three to four hours, what can i say we're pretty hard core (HA!!!). then we were starving so we ate lunch and then decided to ski for a few more hours after that. we pretty much busted out with full animocity on the slopes; people were afraid, little children cried, and fellow skiiers quivered in fear. we were beasts, that's all there is to it, complete awesomness.

Snow... GO AWAY!!!
ok here's the thing, iowa sucks, if you don't live here already... save yourself! stay away! for about the last five months or so the weather has consisted of snow, snow, snow, snow, and some more snow! i have five horsies and i would like to ride them some time before lets say, july! all there is to do is sit inside somewhere, usually my house, and be bored out of mind. i'm about to go completely insane here if this madness doesn' t stop!
so far we have had so many snow days that we are already going to be stuck in school until about the middle of june. on top of that, i believe our ice storm count is up to about five now, which makes for a pretty fun driving experience. i'm shocked i or someone else hasn't killed my car yet. i've heard we are in like the top either 5 or 10 snowfall records since they began recording them.
the point is, snow makes me really sad and it needs to go away so i can be outside with my horsies in peace. i tried to ride them through it the other day but the snow was so deep out there that they could barely walk in it, plus they're so fat they about collapsed so i just gave up. these wintery times are depressing, and in the words of Forest Gump, "That's all i got ta say about thaat."

Foooooood...
i'm gonna go ahead and say that food is absolutely amazing, me gusta mucho fo sho. depressingly enough i work at Godfathers Pizza but on the brighter side of things, they have some some of my most favorite foods in the whole world there. everything from the appetizer to desert, amaaaazing.... and full of fatness.
ok so first course we have cheesesticks and/or p-wedges. both oh so tasty you can't resist. of course when i make my cheesesticks i put about quadruple the amount of cheese that we're supposed to put on but hey, it happens. it's comes out of the oven all melty, mmmm.. get a cup of ranch dressing and i'm set.
then comes main course, the pizza, i mean what else would it be duh. what you do is put a teeny bit of sauce on it, the motherload of all cheese, pepperoni and then sprinkle a little bit more cheese on top of that. then when its time to eat i once again get my cup of ranch and dig in. it's amazing since there's hardly any sauce in it it won't burn your mouth right away when you try to eat it. plus, allll the gooey cheese, it speaks for itself.
then if i'm not on the verge of popping there's always the cinnamon struessel. crumble topping, cinnamon, two pounds of frosting, it's tasty, makes a good snack really.
there you have it, the reasons for my someday fatness...
juice ;)

Tennis Domination
ok so here's the deal, i have a twin named emily and as a pair, we are awesome. two years ago she decided to go out for the tennis team so i was glad to help her practice so she could get good before the season. of course i am amazing at tennis so it was good practice for her to play against me. but sometimes we got bored so we found other people to play against us in doubles.
..... ok so here's the thing, when it comes to tennis i have the biggest case of ADD ever heard of. last time we went to play we actually ended up playing baseball with my racket and a tennis ball; it was my idea of course. tennis keeps my attention for a solid five minutes or so but after that, who knows what will happen. but whatever form of tennis we end up doing it's pretty fun and we all laugh a lot.
disregarding that last paragraph my friend luke for some reason thinks he's "good" at tennis so emily and i have chellenged him to a match this summer and we are sure to dominate. but don't worry, to even out my awsomeness we are going to bring the love of my life alan with us so we don't end up making luke cry. it's going to be fun and i'm looking forward to it this summer.

Drive-Thru Trickery
alrighty then, its time for another story about me and my partner in crime, Amanda...
so we decide to go to Dairy Queen because the evil librarian told us we should get some food with that extra cash we had. now, you can't just suggest food to a person like me because my brain somehow transfers it into a command no matter what the situation is. so we were off on our food quest and with Dairy Queen right around the corner, we decided to make that our destination.
we had to get back to her house and study so we decided to go through the drive-thru. little to my knowledge, this was a bad choice because apparently my brain was nowhere near ready to handle such a task. but, ready or not, we ordered our ice cream and pulled through. the thing is, neither one of us were listening to what window we were supposed to drive up to so we just kind of guessed to was supposed to be the first one. but after waiting for a while we thought maybe we were wrong so we pulled up to the second one. as we pulled up we saw a guy walking over towards the first window so i started to back up; and as i was backing up we saw him going towards the second window because he saw my car there. he decides to stop playing chicken and pops his head out of the second window the the most hilarious look on his face that i've ever seen. it was as if he was thinking (and probibly was) "what in the heck? are they completely clueless???" or something along the lines of that but hey, lets keep this school appropriate. me and amanda about died laughing it was the funniest thing ever... you kind of had to be there maybe i don't know. but we gave him our money, he gave us our ice cream, none of us could stop laughing, and we were on our way. i'm pretty sure he went back to his fellow employees and had a good time making fun of us for a while but hey, as long as it makes people laugh, i really don't care if i'm not quite as intellegent as i should be.

Holy Canole
every once in a while when we let our minds wander we can come up with some pretty weird junk. they have a name for this junk, and it's called poetry. today i took part in this "mind wandering" and came up with this...
"Holy Canole" <-- I dare you to click on that
There once was a buck
Who ate a canole and said yuck
So his buddy asked, "What's wrong with you dude?"
And he replied, "It's not to be rude,
But this canole I ate
It just wasn't great
It was far too hard
It tasted like lard
So I'm gonna go home now..."
But then, there was a loud POW!
His buddy punched him and said, "You big dummy!
That canole was made by my mummy!"
"So if you don't like it," he said,
"There must be no brain in your big fat head!"
personally, i find my poem to be pretty sweet. i'm not sure about what the whole thought process was on it, but it's a poem and it works for me. hope you enjoyed it!

Blankness
to be completely honest here, i have absolutely no idea whatsoever on what to write about. i'm very tired, very sore, and my mind has gone completely blank. the foam cow on my key chain here has for sure seen better days. he lost his ear a while ago and after yesterday he no longer has one of his horns either. this is due to him being in my pocket as i flew through the air and rolled down a hill while i was snowboarding yesterday. luckily somehow i found the horn and will put poor Elmer into surgery shortly and super glue it back on.
what happens when you are talking to someone and you completely run out of things to say, but then again you still want to talk to them? theres like this big long akward silence that you cant seem to escape but you don't want to say good-bye at the same time. just another mystery of life i suppose.
lastly, why on earth are people so negative all the time?! stop it! stop it! stop it! you are not as terrible as you think you are. it doesnt count if you are the only person who thinks all these crappy things about yourself so why can't you just accept that you're not that bad of a person. it's just so depressing all the time and i hate it when people are like that because there's no reason for it. you are never going to be happy in life if you think you're this terrible person all the time and it's not healthy to be like that. people just need to relax and accept themselves i don't understand why people complain about who they are all the time when they are the only ones saying it. if you think you are really that terrible (which you're not) then why don't you just do something about it and change whatever it is you dont like instead of just complaining about it all the time it's that simple.
ok i'm done going off on my little rampage there i'm sorry if i offended anyone it's just something that really drives me crazy and i think people need to stop because it's depressing, plain and simple, and there's truly no need for it.

Research
- the first topic I would like to research is Schizophrenia. i think the desease is interesting adn i'd like to do more research on the psychological aspect of it; what exactly happens to the brain and what happens to the person as a whole when this happens.
- as we all know by now i am very interested in horses, so of course i would like to do some sort of research relating to them. this time i think i would like to look deeper into the genetics of horses, what makes different breeds what they are? colors, anatomy, adn so forth. go deeper into the science of horses is my goal.
- Beatles! not the bug but the band. the four guys who made music what it is today. they had such a huge influence on so many bands and i'd like to look more into their history and just what made them revolutionize music for the rest of time.

Brain Barf
Ok, so today I think is going to be a day where I let my brain just barf on the page. In other words, I'm just going to type whatever comes to mind as I'm sitting here and see where it takes me...
Do you know what I mean when I say that some people just have that voice? (ok so the question is a bit vague but hang in with me here) I mean that voice where they talk to you, but it's imposible to actually listen to what they're saying! It's so easy to tone them out that your brain does it automatically, whether you want it to or not. And how convenient is it that the only people who tend to have these voices are teachers, parents, and those friends who have the need to tell exagerrated stories and then quiz you on every detail later? Teachers, some have this voice where no matter what they might have just said, you will have no idea what it was because all you can hear is "wuah wuah... wuah wuah wuah wuah.. wuah! MEGAN LISTEN TO ME!!!" I try to listen, I really do, but as soon as the words start coming out of their mouth, my brain can't help but to wander elsewhere.
Another thing, why to ears shut off when you need them the most? For example, we always hear when our parents complain about things, but why not when they are telling us something important? Whenever my mom is telling me something I need to do or else I'll will be in big trouble, or when she lets me know I have to be somewhere at this time, I always seem to respond some type of supposed "Ok mom, I know..." but I never remember responding to her let alone even hearing what she said. It's like my brain goes on auto pilot and my thoughts go elsewhere... kind of like now! Ok, focus... foooocus, alright I'm back! So yeah I get in trouble for it every day but yet it doesn't seem to change any. I'm hoping it will with age but who knows???
... peace out <3

WE'RE GOIN'!!!
BBBBBBLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOGGGGGGGGG.
Near death experiences, total gomer moments, and dairy queen, something Amanda and I can’t seem to avoid. Every time we are together, something strange seems to happen. It’s almost like our brain just shuts off as soon as the other one is in sight. For some reason I think I no longer need to think nor control the sound of my voice or what I am saying.
Happening #1: RED MEANS STOP!!!
So basically we were on our way home from band at K-Wood, I was driving, and we came to a stoplight just getting off the highway. I needed to turn left so I stopped and looked both directions to see if there were any cars coming. There were, but I figured if I went really fast I could make it so I wouldn’t have to wait forever. So being the spaz that I am I yelled, "WE’RE GOIN’!!!" Amanda having some sort of thought process going on yelled back at me, "MEGAN…NO!" which made me think "Why is she yelling at me?" So I decided to look up a bit and I notice that it was apparently a red light and red means stop. So I slammed on my brakes and giggled a bit, we could’ve been hit; what was I thinking?! Ok, so maybe the word giggle was a bit of an understatement, we laughed so hard the rest of the way home that we were pretty much crying. I was seriously in pain from laughing so much.
So there you have it, the first gomer moment of many to come. If you for some reason enjoy reading tales from my strange, brainless life keep reading, I have more to share...
