Insomnia, Part III

Yes. I know. You saw the title and thought "Oh no, not another one!" But Insomnia seems to be the title of choice for these journal type posts (and in my defense, I haven't posted an Insomnia since March), and to be completely accurate, I can't sleep, but not for the usual reason - stay up so late that by the time I decide to go to bed I'm no longer tired.

Nope, tonight I'm hyper. I had thought that I'd already had my day of hyperactiveness this year - I've managed to block out most of the memory, but I'm inclined to think it was a Thursday - but apparently this year is a bit different. And this year, or rather, this time, it was diet related.

Last night I had too much sugar at the all you can eat Chinese buffet over by WalMart as well as too much yellow jello cello and red jello viola, and I didn't get nearly enough sleep. Pictures will be posted.

Today we all (excluding Her Nonnieness, of course) went up to went up to visit grandparents and sundry cousins while Mom went to a high school reunion thingy. Right now I'm sitting on a couch, listening to Lily, my iPod (for the two of you that didn't know about my habit of naming inanimate objects), and writing this with a black ink Bic pen on one of the yellow notepads I bought yesterday. I'll type this out when we get home tomorrow (provided I can make out my handwriting) and post it so you lucky people can read it. It's currently 11:54 pm on Saturday the Twenty Eighth of June. I will be seventeen in two months, four weeks and three days, give or take a couple hours.

So, as I was saying (or ... whatever), I'm hyper. I think the sugar is starting to wear off, but then again, I thought that after the two and a half hour car ride up here, but alas, I was wrong. Now I'm just hoping that I won't wake up in a state of hyperactivity.

Oh look, it has been tomorrow - or today - for three minutes. Alright, what else do I want to say? Oh, yes. Some of you may remember me commenting on the fact that I am only half of the people that aren't either at camp, waiting for camp to start or have already been to camp this summer. Today I realized that, had I gone through Driver's Ed last summer like I was supposed to, I would have probably gone to camp this summer, leaving Elizabeth by herself in the non-camp group, but she doesn't even care. Gah.

I'm tired now. Goodnight.

Cheers,
McKe

Oh, and to Anonymous (not you, the one who left the Star Wars for the next quote comment):

We are not amused.

Cheers,

I left this in a completely unedited form (except for this one sentence I forgot to finish), just so you could see how insane I was last night. I'm much saner now. Maybe. Ta.

So ... yeah

After weeks of polling you (I mean, honestly, the final two tied), trying to get you to actually get you to make suggestions, and various other annoyances, you finally picked a caption for this picture.

His very first pair of big boy shoes!!!!

from Mr Knuth

So. A bit more effort than it's worth, in my perhaps not that humble opinion, but there it is. I feel like there ought to be some sort of prize for winning ... but I can't think of anything. Oh, right, eternal fame and glory, that was it.

We need something for the next poll, so if you've got any ideas, post them here.

Cheers,

McKenna

Movie Quote #3

Sorry this is so late, things have been a bit hectic lately, between Driver's Ed (ONE WEEK LEFT!!!) and the show finishing up, and with Shannon leaving for the next 10 (or something like that) days.

So. Here it is. From Pride & Prejudice, "I thought I might read to you all for an hour or two."

Stage Punch

Hi, this is Riley! I've never posted on our blog before, that is usually McKenna's thing, but I thought I would try it. :)

McKenna and Shannon are in a musical and it is pretty sweet. Well, in one scene, McKenna has to get punched and so they did this cool, stage punch thing. Now, Shannon goes around punching (stage punching) everyone, and I got Aislinn getting "kapowed" (ha, I'm such a nerd) in the face on tape. It's pretty hilarious.

Movie Quote #2

From "That Thing You Do!"

You should see it. Good movie. Really.

Cheers,

McKenna

Oh, and there was a tie for the caption, so vote again.

And we got Wesley to do it. In case you couldn't tell. Thanks for petitioning :p

Movie Quote #1

"My peanut!"

Captain Jack Sparrow,
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

Cheers,
McKenna

Petition for Wesley

This is the post where you (most definitely) should leave a comment telling Wesley how much you want him to help out with the Movie Quote of the Week.

And any comments that aren't signed (it's a petition, you do actually need to let us know who you are) or aren't actually something along the lines of "Come on, Wesley, you HAVE to do it!!!" will be deleted. And I had to delete my own comment as well, so don't feel too bad if yours is deleted.

Cheers,
McKenna.

A Little Addition to the Blog

So, Riley and I have decided to add a new feature to the blog: Movie Quote of the Week. Every week (probably), you'll be getting a video of one of my younger siblings (or, you know, more than one) acting out a quote froma movie (or a TV show.)

Unfortunately, Wesley doesn't really want to participate, and therein lies the problem. I mean, really, this won't work out too well without him, right?

So what I'm going to do is start a petition. Leave a comment on my next post (maybe, you'll know which one) and tell Wesley that he needs to do this.

No, not this post. Leave comments on here saying how cool you think the Movie Quote of the Week idea is.

Cheers,
McKenna
