Birthday Cake

After choir a week and a half ago on my birthday, my friend Jake was just going to leave without saying anything to me. I yelled down the hallway after him "Jake! what? no 'Happy Birthday'? No Happy Birthday Hug?" and he says "Im sorry! Happy Birthday!" then he gave me a hug and asked "would you like some birthday cake?" I said "I would love some" then he took the earphones off from around his neck and handed them to me, I put them on and he pressed play on his cd player, it was a song by Cake (the band). I just loved it! it made my day! It was a good Birthday!

Scrabble: Jake Rules

My good freind Jake and I used to hang out every Wednesday to play scrabble before choir practice. The Jake Rules came from those afternoons.

Jake Rules for Scrabble:

• Any words, names, or made up words from books, TV, or lyrics and conversations (sang and abbreviations of these) are all allowed.
• You should always have 7 tile
• Words can go up, down, forward, and backward, but not diagonal.
• Wrap around if the word is too long.
• The person with the longest word ready at the beginning of the game goes first. (If in the case of a tie, the player with the highest points on their longest word shall go first.)
• You can draw for a letter you need in exchange for one of your other letters, once every few turns for an exceptional word. (Cannot use on consecutive turns)
• You can trade a tile with a tile in someone else’s “deck” if they agree to the trade.
• You can only take points for a double/triple-letter/word space if and only if you were the one to cover the space with one of your tiles during the single turn (once it is used you can not use that bonus again in the same game session)
• If your word is two words (one spelled front ward and one spelled backwards) count it twice.
• If need be, you can use two ‘I’s for the Roman numeral II

Darth Vader from the planet Vulcan

"Ho! Ho! HO! Look at it roll! Now we can watch it while we eat!" I announce as mom makes us some kickin' salads. I set up the G4 on the kitchen table so we could watch Back to the Future while we ate. (Mom got a kick out of the line because it came from the movie) The trilogy is an old family favorite. We would marathon it every new year's eve (while play monopoly) so we know the lines pretty well. One of our favorite lines was from the first movie where Marty dresses up in a radiation suit to fool George into taking Lorain to the dance by saying he was "Darth Vader from the Planet Vulcan" lol.

Lazy afternoons in the morning

Up too early makes it seem like afternoon alredy, even though it is only 10:45. I should be studying for a huge Pathology exam I have on monday, but instead here is a knee slappper:
Why do ducks have webbed feet?
to stamp out fires.
Why do elephants have flat feet?
to stamp out burning ducks.
-found that hum-dinger this morning
well....I was going to list the Jake Rules but I have been having technical difficulties, so bear with me, they will be up soon. The world awaits, and I must start my day.
