so. about the title~ killer fireflies. i saw my first three fireflies last nite around midnite, but i thought they were something else. lemme start at the beginning. so it was midnite and i had just finished reading "pretties" so i was kinda on edge, like my mind still processing everything. wull b4 i go to bed, i like to sit on my window sill and open my window and just think, you know?technically i could leave at anytime, no screen! neways its nice. so as i pulled back my heavy curtains, i noticed that the shadows were really funny on my window well and froze when i saw a flash of light in my backyard. now b4 you think im completely paranoid, there have been alot of robberies and vandalism lately, even my neighbor got robbed, so my first thought was oh man, someones in the yard with a flashlight. then the light kept blinking, on and off and i figured someone was turning it on, walking a few steps to see ahead, then turning it off. so i pulled my curtains almost all the way together and peeked through the crack at the light... suddenly, one appeared to the right of my window as well and i thought "ohmigosh they're closing in!!" and dropped the the floor, literally shaking (man i feel dumb telling this!!) with fear because i thought that any second my window was going to be smashed in. no joke! so i straightened up a little and looked for light through my curtains and almost screamed when one of the orbs came down into my window well, i thought i was going to die! and since id just read pretties my mind was spinning with possibilities of what it could be, and now it looked like someone had stuck some kind of pulsating sensor in my window well! yeah, about that. when i finally got the courage to look through the curtains again, i carefully noted the little light.... and felt completely like an idiot when i saw it was a bug. A FIREFLY! thats it! so i just sighed with relief, laughed at myself, and stumbled to bed where i promptly fell asleep. but on a happy note, fireflies mean SUMMER!!!

my grandpa came up with a most excellent idea, but i might have to do some research for this one, not sure of local laws. he said i should start a shoe tree~ how cool is that? so i need your help plushie and court to help me find a good spot and start this!! i am excited.... i plan on doing all sorts of crazy things this summer. and, i have resolved to not let myself be bored. if i am bored, i must turn to my list of things to do when almost bored, for example
1. master the art of listening to a book on tape and reading a book AND comprehending both (this is hard! ive been trying lately)
2. teach myself to roll my tongue- they say its hereditary, but i think i can learn, im pretty awesome ;)
3. go around town taking pictures of things i pass everyday and have never really seen, even tho i look at them everyday, ie a mailbox or a streetsign
4. make things out of ductape, like a wallet or a purse, or a dress!
5. madlibbsss!
those are just a few, if you have any good ideas, comment them or post cuz i want to get a long list going... of fun things, like the banana thing.... yay.

so i didnt get up this morning!! usually i get up and run to the hill and back ( not really allowed to spend much time out on a run cuz last time i went for a while i got in trouble... long story) but this morning my alarm went off at 6:15, as always, and i thought hey i think ill wait today and leave around 6:30. yeah, ill just sleep some more. so when i woke up at 7 and mum was leaving for the day, i knew it wasnt going to happen! oh well.

so i recently watched Angels and Demons with Tom Hanks, it was rully good! violent, but good. if you've never seen it i highly recommend it~! it was like a catholic history national treasure type movie, and there was this killer twist at the end that made the movie, wow.

Oh, that reminds me of this one time when I lived in Lansing for a while, a friend came over, and we went outside late at night. There were fire flies all around us, and it was kinda cool, especially since it was in a small city like that, lights all around. Then something flashed red, at first I thought it was just a tail light or something, but then it came closer, and noticed it was a fire fly. I pointed it out to everyone else and began to spin a tail about how red ones are very rare, and almost extinct, why? Because they are extremely poisonous so people were killing them. My friend was SO close to believing me, if his little brothers had come too, they so would have fallen for it. Which also reminds me of the Black Dog, but that's a story for another time.
ReplyDeletehaha, thats funny about the firefly... i wonder if it was sick~ or magical!!! i like your story better tho, that theyre reaaaally rare... the black dog? spill!
ReplyDeleteWell, I can't remember all of it now, but there's this old legend from back in europe of a dog that's fur was black as a moonless midnight, it's eyes a piercing red in the darkness. It was sort of like deaths dog, and always had a particular victim it would go after, and there was no safe place to hide from it, not in your own home, not in a church, anywhere. It would just slip out of the shadows and attack you until you gave up, not yet killing you, then it would pull you back into the shadows and you'd dissapear from the world. No weapon could kill it, not a gone, or blade, nothing. If there were others in the room, it would just ignore them, going for it's chosen victim, if there were ligts in the room, the shadows would slowly eat them away until they were almost no more, then when it returned to where it came from, the lights would slowly come back, as if almost afraid to return.
ReplyDeletegun* not gone.
ReplyDeleteooh thats creepy, kinda like in harry potter the azkaban one... european ppl have cool stories... that would make a good movie tho... maybe we can wrk on that after the world is under our control MWAHAHAHA
ReplyDeleteAnd it would be totally awesome, I can see it now, bringing a new (Sort of) fear into the world.....
ReplyDeleteoooooh yeah, creating chaos then stepping in and telling the ppl we can save them~ its a classic yet perfect move
