Hmmm....

I'll admit that I'm kinda cheating on this one. I honestly had no idea what to do for Grimm Legacy unless I want to go to NYC and take out a flying carpet or some such thing from the library (which I DO want to do, but there are certain things preventing me from doing this, like how I don't have a car.) So I decided, they have this whole thing where they turn royalty into dolls (bizarre, I know) and when I was little I thought that I was a princess, so couldn't that count for this? Well I think it does.

I am awesome.

Do not try this at home...

Okay, I know that I tried this at home, but I am simply advising others against it. I decided to make Hatter Madigan's hat from The Looking Glass Wars, which is a top hat that flattens down forcing several sharp blades out that are very good for slicing things. I realized that this probably wasn't the smartest of ideas fairly quickly, so I decided that I would not wear or attack anyone with the hat. Just quickly make it, take a picture, and disassemble it. I am pretty fond of my eyes and of not being in prison. Whether you are or not, I do not know.... (But for all legal reasons, I am uninvolved and therefore unable to be blamed) So here is the beautiful hat: :)

Isn't it amazing? That Hatter has got to be jealous.

Year of the Dragon

I honestly had no idea whatsoever as to what adventure to pursue for Falling Leaves. Unless I traveled to China, there was no real way for me to recreate her life. So I was forced to create my own China. Yesterday we ordered a ton of Chinese food (which I don't even like) and polished off the evening with a Jackie Chan movie (which I do like.) I am starting to feel like this version of China could seem a little racist as to what we assume of the Chinese. Oh well. This is the best I could do. By the way, it is really hard to eat with chopsticks. I swear that shish-ka-bobs were created for people like me who can't use them. I was left to eat with my kid chopsticks. They pretty much rock:

Who knew that pandas have such long legs anyways? My fortunes were pretty lame too. Last year, my cousin got a fortune that said "An attack or windfall is present in your near future," or something to that effect. A few seconds later I attacked him from the back while he promptly choked on his fortune cookie. Now THAT is a good fortune.

Who really wants to earn anything?

We watched Shanghai Knights with Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson, which was good but it would have been nice to know before hand that it was a sequel. It would have made more sense. Plus, you may not want to watch it with your dad... It is quite, um... Awkward....

Oh well, happy year of the dragon!

I am now the legend of my neighborhood...

All right, so I thought, Legend. Day does a lot of climbing right? He scaled a 6-story building in 10 seconds. June pretty much spends her life on roofs. How hard could it be? Ah, we need to take down our Christmas lights? What a perfect opportunity. Let's say that the adventure went a little something like this:

And of course my dad just stood there taking pictures of me. I'm starting to think that this little blog here isn't worth the two dislocated shoulders...

My Match

So I decided to, in honor for the book Matched, find out who my own match would be. I was afraid at first, but then his picture came up, which I will now post on here. I blacked out his eyes to preserve his privacy:

Well, I was gonna black out his eyes, but then I decided to, not. You are all jealous right now I am sure. The only irony is that I don't even like Twilight. Oh well, I'm still not gonna turn down Taylor Lautner!

Half Broke Rusty

Okay, so I attempted to ride a horse after reading Half Broke Horses. I was able to pull myself over the thing's bony rump, dig my foot into its side, and then I was flying. It was glorious and breathtaking. I had never gone so fast in my life, or felt so terrified and exhilarated at the same time. I was just getting used to the thing, but then the cashier from Vidler's pulled me off and told me I was too big to go on it. That was a waste of 10 cents, let me tell you. I didn't get the chance to take a picture of myself on it, but I do have a picture of my amazing horse:

Okay fine. The picture isn't mine. I couldn't find my own picture of Rusty (thank my computer for that) so I got one off the internet- but it is still Rusty! Just, an older picture of him. And he's not so, broken. Or old. Or worn out looking. But whatever state he is in now, it is not (completely) my fault! (Oh, and thank you to whomever I just stole that picture from.) 

Okay, so here is the exciting part... A real picture of me riding a horse a few years ago.

Oh, yeah. I am awesome. And it is 100% genuine.
