Vending machines.... (a.k.a. daemons sent from the underwold)

So it was a fine and dandy day. Me and my sister had play practice after school, and we had cash, SO we decided it would be a wise decision to stack up on food for the night. So we ventured to the vending machine..... not a wise decision.
So... i wanted some very tasty looking sweet tart gummies. I proceeded to insert my crisp dollar bill into the slot. SO then i went on to press the buttons which correlated to my choice purchase (E10) I pressed "E" first ( so far so good) then i pressed "1" ( not so good) before i could even press the "0" button (which did not actually exist) the machine spit out a snickers.. (whose label was E1) I was angry, so very angry at that darned machine. i took the snickers out of spite and then proceeded to attain my sweet tart gummies. My sister was next in line, and she was in the bathroom and missed the entire E1 fiasco. so i go to get a drink and when i come back she is angry.... what happened i asked... she holds up a snickers bar " THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANTED"
i laughed so hard i almost burst.
Now we call those candies E10's, not sweet tart gummies, and we tell everyone to do the same.
That has been a joke for us that we enjoy every time we visit the daemon.
So today, the reason why i am writing this story now, i get a text from my friend.
it reads:

"I was going to buy some E10's
but i put in E 1 b/c i thought
you had to punch the 1 then
the 0.. so the machine gave
me a snickers which was okay..."

Oh dear, we had a good laugh

Election day off?

since when do they give us election day off???  frankly i think it is stupid, because giving kids a day off of school does nothing.  we don't vote, our parents do. and parents with younger kids now have their kids to deal with when trying to get out and vote.  I just think it's stupid.  Believe me i am oh so happy about having a day off, it is wonderful, but i really think it's stupid to give us a day off on election day.  

Now i am not writing anything about politics, because i really don't have a say, and don't really care.  which is really bad, i know, but i really don't have any power to change the votes.  Hopefully McCain wins.

anyway today i am stuck at home, cleaning and doing chores.... finishing my laundry!! woo!!

Aunt Patty comes tomorrow!!! I AM SOOOOO PUMPED!!!!! i just can't wait! also tomorrow: my cousin is calling me.... hopefully... haha. 

tonight going out to dinner for my friend's 17th birthday... still haven't decided what to get him, and his birthday's tomorrow!!

Animals do have brains....

So last night i was babysitting my neighbors little girl. Who is sooo cute! anyway i put her to bed at around 7:30pm. ( i was surprised that she went to sleep without a fight, not even a single tear!!) so i was down in the kitchen studying math. Now before the parents had left, they had informed me of their Houdini hamster.... (her name is not actually Houdini, you'll soon see why she was called this) 'You see,' they said, 'last night the hamster got out twice, so just keep your eyes on it' Oh dear..... i have to watch a hamster.... i mean i love hamsters i think they are so cute, but if this one escapes i'm not to keen on spending my night chasing it around the house playing hide-n-seek. anyway... so sitting in the kitchen studying math. The dryer was on in the other room, so it was rather noisy. Then after about a half hour, the dryer went off.... now it was just me the silence, and the creepy little hamster. After a few minutes i hear a scratching noise. i get up walk over to the cage and find that the ingenious little hamster is at the back of the cage scratching at the lid. See, the type of cage they had was a sort of globe, and the top just slid up. so the little demon hamster was smart enough to figure out how to open it. Luckily, the humans were smarter and taped the cage. So i walk over there and the little thing looks up with me, acting all innocent..... so he real quick scampers up the tube and sits at the top in his little nest thingy. I go back and sit down and after about ten minutes i hear this scratching noise again.... it was the crazy hamster!!!! What in the world was she thinking??? that i had disappeared and wouln't catch her? so i went over and tapped on the cage.. she looked up at me like 'whaatt?!?!?!?'

so my night consisted of playing 'i see you' with a hamster....
so animals do have brains....
cute story i read in a magazine the other day:
a brother and sister chimpanzee lived together in a zoo. They had tasks to do, and one of these included making a knife out of rock. The brother, because he was older and stronger, could make it easily. so he made it cut the rope and got the banana that fell from it. Then he proceeded to give the knife to his sister. but the trainer wouldn't allow it, she had to make her own. So b4 the trainer took the brother out of the room, he quickly hid the knife under a bush. When the sister was asked to make the knife to receive her food, she found the knife her brother had left an used it.

Wow... animals are amazing!!
