Anan's (not-so) Randomness!

My daaaling brother Erik has run out of things to tease me about. So he makes things up. It's really quite humorous. Here I sit innocently looking at dress blogs when suddenly... "Ooo! I know! Chris is your boyfriend! Chris is your boyfriend!!!"-Erik  <cracks up>-Me

Chris was a camper at "Friendship Camp" (a camp for developmentally disabled adults). He was very sweet but seriously... (Or "but well." as Nick would say)

Erik's lucky I haven't killed him for all the "teasing" he's been doing.

Note: It's only the "bestest" because it's the most insane one I've seen. Please don't read into my rating of a picture of Alex. 9_6

(NOTE: I did a lot of thinking “the other night”.)

 The other night I asked myself “Why do I have this blog?” (14 months ago I thought all HT blogs were “deep” and for far more intelligent peeple than myself.)  Well, first of all. Pastor B. sorta offered it to me so how could I refuse?  I don’t write on any “deep” things to speak of. I don’t plan on starting either. I’m not writing this blog for the benefit of the world/for the enlightenment of others. <sigh> It feels good to write that… See? That didn’t help any of you, but that’s OK!!! Yay!!!

 The other night as I lay awake in beddy-bye listening to Stefan screaming I started feeling nostalgic. The sound of his hysterical fit made me remember when Cecilia was a baby and would scream in exactly the same manner. But she was crying for me. Ah the good old days… I had a railing on the side of my bed like *I* was a baby, so she wouldn’t fall out. That was also back when all the furniture for the big room was crammed wall-to-wall in the tiny room over the porch. (Dad was re-finishing my bedroom. Trim… insulation… all that good stuff.) 

 Clothing shopping is Evil/Annoying. “Why?” you ask. Well… they never sell proper dresses anywhere (unless you count the rare decent designer dress with a price tag in the hundreds.) Little girl clothes always seem to be much cuter than adult/junior clothes. Let’s face it, the only “normal” adult clothes in tiny sizes are either A. really expensive or B. UGLY… That’s just my personal opinion though. I realize I’m just too skinny and it’s all my fault! <sobs> On the rare occasions that I do shop I always feel really awkward and conspicuous. I hate it when sales representatives ask “How’s it going?” Well… “It was fine until you talked to me!!!” If I was daring I would send them off on wild tirades to find every size 11 shoe in the store so I could try them all on for fun. Ha! In my dreams…

 Is virtual cannibalism dirty or just plain old silly? Of course any “online violence” isn’t the greatest thing ever… <listens to gasping maniacs> But “eating” people is my trademark and other people who have done it on MH chats have been mistaken for me on several occasions.  By “dirty” I mean well… y’know… Like when Hermione says something like “Ooo Harry, you look a lot more appetizing than Crabbe and Goyle!”(Deathly Hallows) What does that make you think? So mayhap “cannibalism” should be avoided all together. It’s sad that you can’t just be silly about such things… <sniff>

(A.K.A Why *not* to go swimming in the evening.)

So... I was blissfully swimming away underwater. Enjoying the many benefits of goggles when suddenly something heaving and solid slammed down on my head, causing me to bite my lip quite painfully. Upon surfacing I discovered that a 11 year old or so girl had jumped in on top of me without looking. She asked if I was all right and I managed a feeble "I...think...so..."  Most likely she couldn't see me because of my black swnimsuit and the semi-darkness of the water. I also acquired a nice scratch down the back of my neck from said girl's nails. Bleck.

This is an excellent case against swimming underwater in the evening... I must admit I did it in the dead of night at camp but I dind't suffer any fatal injuries. There are those <coughcough> who don't like smimming in any form or at any time of day. I have never quite understood this. You must understand that things like people jumping on top of you aren't exactly common. If you keep your head above the water you won't get the full benefit of the glorious wetness and "remembering your Baptism"ness of the water... Ok I'm really tired and this is getting out of hand! Must. Sleep...

I took this picture on the way to HT MN.

Ahem... So anyway I'm supposed to be cleaning. Who all loves cleaning bathrooms? If you do you have a special invitation to come visit.

My little siblings are all sitting in the hallway singing along with The Phantom of the Opera. They're so cute! I mean "little" as in Martin, Cecilia and Benjamin. Matthew is downstairs reading Harry #7 and Erik's off in Colorado on a hiking trip. We haven't heard a word from him. I'm assuming that means he's still in one piece.

I finished the dress from that Advance pattern I posted a month or so ago. The jacket is still in the works. At first the dress was actually too big and then it was too small but now it's pretty much just right. Ah the joys of fitting...

Unorganized and vague post: So... Pastor and Mrs. Stuckwisch have pretty much got their two oldest "taken care of". Thus they have moved on to me. 9_6  xp  Could someone else enlist their matchmaking services? If y'all could keep them occupied then I could get some sleep. Last night I went over to their house with Mom and Dad so I could try to keep them in line. "How can we plan your life when you're here?" ~Pastor  No, I'm not cranky. Don't get paranoid... Though I must say I'm pretty scared. <shudder>

First off I must say I don't have time for a proper post. Technically I need sleep.

Here you see a good representation of the MHers and a Pastor Borghardt. He was allowed in the picture due to his coolness I suppose. Back "row" left 2 right: Christopher, Maggie, Anan, Andrew. Front "row": Erik, Kennedy, Pr. B., Paul, Zeke(Bob). In the background there's a bunch of Swedes huddled around the organ.

This is the Grand Champion sewing project. Yes, the skimpy little halter dress in the middle... Maybe if I sew a bikini I'll win state! Lets see how <gag> our sewing projects can be!!! Mine recieved blue and special merit. Now I'm bummed 'cuz I can't get it back untill after church on Sunday.

My painting got reserve champion for my age division. This is the reserve champion over all. I'm afraid to say what I think of it.

Random fact: A fellow volunteer at camp sprayed Erik with Tag before the dance. I disowned him 'till the smell wore off.

I was bored... untill I remembered that we had planned on burning as much scrap wood as possible this week. Mwahahaha!!! Of course I can't do the fire justice. Y'all don't feel blazing hot unless you're in Nebraska or something. ;-p That craft table you see off to the side is what I used to fan my blaze. Too bad Mom didn't take pictures of her maniac daughter feeding the BLAZE.

Speaking of ABLAZE... I made a sign for my dorm door at Sem. that said "Fuzzy" Except the second "Z" had a really long tail like in "ABLAZE" and I made a cross through it. Yes, I know I'm horrible.
