So tomorrow is July third, obviously. I'll be going to Carman's cabin (They have GREAT hotdogs!) (inside joke) and here's some news.
I can tell Madison is going to be a little weird while we're there. There's no electricity, no running water, and we'll be using an out house. I'm fine with that. I like camping like that (maybe minus the no showers), but it's only until Monday.
So what this has to do with giraffes is... there's tons of them in the wild here! Just kidding. Madison uses the word "Giraffe" every day. It's become a universal answer. Here's a few examples:
1. "We're going to Carman's house tomorrow, right?"
"Giraffe."
"Okay."
2. "What do you want for dinner?"
"Giraffe."
"That's a little disturbing."
3. "Hi."
"Giraffe."
"Elephant?"
So yeah, it's a bit odd around here. Well I'm gonna go now...

A Blog's a Blog, but This is Real Life
7/02/2010
So I got my first follower today. He's just an author/all-around awesome person. I just wanted to put that out there. (Hi, Rossi!)
Anyway, back to the blog. So I have an iPod Touch. It's really fun and helps whenever you're feeling bored or just like you shouldn't be doing anything else. Well I've go this game. It's called Virtual Villagers 3: The Lost City. I knew a few cheats for it, so I kept restarting it to get a certain person, but it apparently didn't work. It's was a complete waste of three minutes. Now, all of the people are sick! It sucks. But, you know, it's not like it's real life. It's a simulation of a some-what realistic scenario, if you count a bunch of people being washed onto a stranded island having to learn how to build, research, heal, and farm realistic. It mostly is. It's realistic fiction, let's put it that way, okay?
Okay. So another thing I think I should put out there is that I talk to myself a lot. I just started noticing it. Well, I noticed it before, but I realize how much I do it. For instance, I'll say something, but then my second side bursts in and says something like "Why would you say something like that? That's really pointless," and it goes on like that. I reply to myself. And also, I answer my own questions. I know people think that's creepy sometimes, but it's logical. I ask a question because I can't think of the answer, but then I find it stored in the back of my mind and then just say it out loud to let people know (and it's fun watching them kind of freak out over my weird behavior).
And the final thing I'm going to say is Quotes. I think I'll put a quote at the end of every post now. I have one that Rossi (my first follower, like I said before) tried to post on one of my posts, (that's a lot of posts) but it didn't make it. I think I'll use it now and get going. Probably check my virtual villagers, who will be sadly dead soon...

Christofer Drew and Jeans
7/02/2010
So Christofer Drew's a really cool dude. He's a singer/song writer. I guess you could say he's like a pop artist, but he's more alternative to me. Anyway, I was listening to his song, Trampoline, and in the comments, everything was like "I love Chris Drew" "I have a trampoline!" (because it was about him falling in love with someone on a trampoline.), but there was one person at the end. The comment was "Where does he buy his jeans?"
I thought it was funny and that you all should know. It's 5:42 (in Tennessee), but I'm not there, so whatever.

Weird Conversations with Kory
7/02/2010
It's currently 2:22 (make a wish).
The conversations I've had with my cousin Kory... awkward.
1. Halo Hospital. We had a short conversation about video games which led to Halo Hospital. Demetri Martin, a really cool comedian dude, had the idea of making a game where instead of hurting and killing people, you heal thim in a big hospital for the video game characters. Halo Hospital!
2. They Get Cold in Winter! My little sister, Mallory, and I were talking. We play with stuffed animals when we're really bored, but "yesterday" she said her pig couldn't breathe so I said he's not real so she doesn't breathe anyway. Her comeback was "Well, you play with stuffed animals and so they talk, they breathe, and they get cold in the winter!" It doesn't have much to do with Kory, but he was there and we made of fun of Mallory together. (Ah, bonding. Not really, though.)
3. Legs. Apparently I need to shave. It's now being used against me because I was talking WAY too much so Kory threatened to pull leg hair out... it's really awkward, but it happened.
4. Stupid People. We started watching some show with people doing a bunch of stunts (including jumping into a vat of icy water in the wild wearing mascot costumes. Thank you, Kory, for bringing that into our lives...
That's all I can think of right now. You now know how awkward it can be to live with (well, be around for a long period of time) Kory.

SO MANY FLIPPING POSTS
The Same Day As Before/Today/This Year
Fourth post.
DANG IT! I should have saved four posts for the fourth of July...
Well anyway, I was searching Blogspot for a blog to follow. I've found nothing. Yes, there are a lot of things that would be interesting to other people (especially gardeners... wow they like to blog), but not Chloe`, A.K.A The Hatted Wonder, A.K.A. Wolf. I need SOMETHING to look forward to everyday other than waking up at 2 p.m. and staying up until four in the morning (which usually only happens while I'm in Washington. Usually I'm up at noon! *winky face, not an emote*). But anyway: NO BLOG. I like reading and watching what other people have to say, usually vlogs on YouTube, but that's fashion or something.
Whatever.

Third entry of the day... Hooray?
Anyway, a friend of mine told me about this before, but today I found it while boringly searching images on Google Images, including rocks. Anyway, there it is above. It's Obama riding a narwhal and YES, THEY EXIST. Just clearing that up.
Hey it's 9:11.

Bing
7/01/2010
So I realized a few seconds ago that I'd never tested Bing.com out. So I did.
My results were very unsatisfactory. The reason Bing.com had been invented, apparently, was because Google and Yahoo and other search websites had too many link to give you answers to your problem. I figured Bing would just be website that helps you find a website by taking you to the one that fits your problem the best. Wrong. Bing has links, too. It's all links. It's practically Google 2.0. I find that very unpleasing. I figured Bing would be something I might use, not that Google's not a good thing (I love you, Google), but you know, it'd be a shortcut.
So, in short, if you wanted Bing to be a Skip-To-The-Website-Instead-of-the-Links, just go to good ol' Google and click "I'm Feeling Lucky".

So Little Importance...
7/01/2010
Hey it's the first of a new month. Another day to look forward to, sort of. We're not doing anything today...
But anyway, I'm a new blogger and I know that this must happen to all new bloggers. I'm pretty sure nobody's discovered my blog. It's not like they search random things like "sofarsosummer.blogspot" so I'm in a down spot. I'll probably end up Googling... wait one sec...
I'm back. I'm apparently doing good in most domains to getting more veiws of my blog. I sound really needy right now, don't I? What do you want me to do? Video tape me on my knees, begging people to read my blogs? No! I refuse, even though it might work. I'm not going to do that.
Viral videos? That might work, but I don't make videos. It'd be kind of cool though, right? Me being in a viral video for the world to see and know? Yeah, but what would I do?
I know: I'd have a video of me falling down the stairs in a desperate attempt to get to a large cake or something. I don't know...
Whatever, I'll just keep blogging. Who said this was for other readers? It's for me!
Well, technically, self, you made this so other people can read about it, too.
So?
So it is about other people. You want them to read it, that's why you're all like: "READ MY BLOGS!!!"
There's no reason to use three excalamations, Self.
Shut up, Me!
Woah, that was really unneccisary.
I'm sorry, Me.
It's okay, Self. I forgive you... as long as you read my blogs.
I'm you and you're me so we both together already read our blog because we're me!
That was confusing.
So is your mind. Sign off already!
Fine!

Red Fish, Blue Fish
6/30/2010
So the title to this blog has nothing to do with the blog what so ever...
Wait! YES IT DOES! I UNDERSTAND NOW!
The Fourth of July (A.K.A. Independance Day) is on July fourth! Of course it is!
Anyway, I'm going to a lovely cabin without any electricity or indoor plumbing for a few days for the occasion. I'm going to be with Carman, our lovely "God-Mother" (not really), her husband, and two little boys (who are super adorable, might I add).
So the "Red Fish, Blue Fish" things comes in because it's like red and blue are two of the American colors and stuff...
I'm going nowhere with his blog. Bye.

Fire in Ice
6/28/2010
Ah, Washington. A place so seemingly dreary and cold. It is always the same: a rainy morning, a few clouds left over until noon, a sunny evening, and fire?
There's been fires everywhere since we've been here! In Montana, I think, there's some wild fire going on and several people are being evacuated. There's been a fire almost every day for the past forever, too. It's always in an apartment or something, too. Today, two fires were reported: one yesterday, one today. Yesterday was in a house and the only one who didn't survive was the cat... sadness. Today, a fire started in a condominium where one unit was smoking and stuff when the fire fighters arrived. One guy died.
So to total that up, in all places, one of the coldest, dreariest places in America has a bunch of fires. Tennessee's last fire... I dunno. Probably during the flood.
In other news, I got more iTunes money! Yay! Time to jam out to all of my favorite songs that I hadn't bought. It's around my iTunes Anniversary, too. Some time around today, I got my iPod Touch and an iTunes account which now holds my dear music close to it's electric data base.
Music Rocks, no doubt 'bout it.

When the Individuals Collide, They Create Fantastic Rationalizations
6/28/2010
So last night, or this morning, I guess, I came up with a cool title as the title of this post is. It just sounded cool, so I started a story that will probably go nowhere, butt it might be headed in a good direction after I write a bit more in it. It's about individualistic people who find each other and yhada yhada... so forth.
So yeah.

If Anyone Asks, I Got Up at Six
6/28/2010
So I haven't been able to sleep tonight, so it's now 8:03. If anyone asks, I got up at 6:00. I tried to sleep, really, but it didn't work. I don't feel very groggy right now, which is good, so I'll just stay up today and go to bed early, I guess. I probably didn't sleep because, literally, I drank a bottle of Coke before going to sleep so, in short, it went like this.
I went to the fridge and got a bottle of Coke. I opened it. I drank it. I washed out the bottle and threw it in the recycles. I said "Good night" to my grandpa (who rocks). I went to bed. Or tried to, at least.
So yeah, I'm gonna go now... bye.

The Aspirations of a Creative Individual
6/27/2010
So today (which just started, I might add), I realized that I have lots of aspirations, and I always set out to reach my goals.
For instance, I wanted to be a writer. I began a novel.
I wanted to be a vetinarian. I spend hours learning about animals and healing them.
I wanted to learn ukulele. I'm now on the verge of buying one and I will be teaching myself how to play it.
I wanted to start a blog. What are you reading right now, again?
So, in closure, I've apparently acquired a taste for setting my own goals and setting my mind towards them.
Join the revolution.

The Ukulele Chronicles - Part One - The Hunt
6/27/2010
So earlier today, I decided I wanted a ukulele. It seems like a good start to string instruments because apparently Guitar Hero doesn't count as an actual instrument...
But anyway, I've looked around on eBay and Craig's List (which surprised me at how few people in Nashville have ukes for sale, which is a total of ZERO.) and so I'm either getting one from Nashville's numerous shops or I'll order one. Either way, I have to pay for it.
When I searched for ukulele prices on Google, the first thing I saw must have been a high-class uke, because it's lowest price was $550.00 for a 4-string. I saw several ukuleles on eBay for about 40, 50, and 60 dollars. That would be an awesome price, but I'm probably not ordering one, just because of waiting and auctioning isn't always the best thing (even though you can just buy one instead of auction on eBay). There's probably several low-price guitar stores with ukuleles and I intend on finding one with good intentions on what I'll be buying.
I knew that I wanted a ukulele because of my favorite band/mucisian person, NeverShoutNever, A.K.A. Christofer Drew. A lot of his songs are ukulele songs and they sound really nice. I figured, "Hey, why not learn to play some of his songs?" and thus, I have begun my search for a uke myself.
I want a Concert (soprano) ukulele. It's the ukulele that's size is a little bigger than the traditional uke, and more people play it now-a-days. It'll most likely come with a case already and then the only thing I'll need is patience and the internet! Yes, I'm going to learn my songs off the internet. Hey, why not use the free source to anything and everything? That's my theory here.
End of Part One.
