We all knew he could do it...

Ben is back on top! Get this. Ben. Bought. Me. A. Car. (It may be a matchbox car, but that's beside the point.) It's little and green and it is still in the original wrapping. It may even have the new car smell. I'll be sure to add some pictures to this post when my dad is done hogging the camera.



Oh, and I've decided on a new car that I want. The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 2009.



*Sarcasm*And this picture shows exactly where I would spend all my time if I got a Jeep. Yup, nothing I love more than camping... and nature...

Ben's Awesome Second Post

Here is a review of Fable II by Ben again. First I will explain what Fable I was. You get to decide to be good or evil by making decisions like kill your childhood friend, or don't kill your childhood friend. The coolest part is that the decisions change your apperance. If you are good you have a halo, and butterflies follow you. If you are evil you grow horns and have flies follow you.

The only differance between Fable I and Fable II besids story line is that you have a dog. The dog always loves you and can find treasure for you. The best part is that the dog changes color if you are good or evil. If you are evil the dog turns pitch-black and if you are good the dog turns a blonish yellow. If you play through the who story line it takes anout 12 house but if you do all of the side quests it takes 100 plus hours. It is awesome you should get it.

I promise I won't post stuff like this often, but in this ONE post, I'm gonna get it all out of my system.

What Your Cute Monster Says About You

You are a deep, thoughtful, down to earth person. You don't put much stock in appearances. You are never superficial or flippant. You take time in life to study, learn, and get to know people well. You inner demon is laziness. You can get so caught up in your own world that you neglect everything around you. People think you're cute because you're intelligent. Your wit and wisdom are charming.

The Cute Monster Test

You Are a Blue Crayon

Your world is colored in calm, understated, deep colors. You are a loyal person, and the truest friend anyone could hope to find. On the inside, you tend to be emotional and even a bit moody. However, you know that people depend on you. So you put on a strong front. Your color wheel opposite is orange. Orange people may be opinionated, but you feel they lack the depth to truly understand what they're saying.

What Color Crayon Are You?

You Are Bert

Extremely serious and a little eccentric, people find you lovable - even if you don't love them! You are usually feeling: Logical - you rarely let your emotions rule you You are famous for: Being smart, a total neat freak, and maybe just a little evil How you life your life: With passion, even if your odd passions (like bottle caps and pigeons) are baffling to others

The Sesame Street Personality Quiz

AAAARRRRGGGGHH! I'm BERT!? BERT?!

You Are Fozzie Bear

"Wocka! Wocka!" You're the life of the party, and you love making people crack up. If only your routine didn't always bomb! You may find more groans than laughs, but you always keep the jokes coming.

The Muppet Personality Test

Okay, Fozzie I am okay with, but BERT?!

You Are Wednesday

Like this day of the week, you are ruled by Mercury. More than anything, you are unpredictable. You are witty and wise - but you are also easily bored. You tend to be flighty and careless. You are unreliable at times. In some ways, it's perfect that you match up with hump day. You are always coasting downhill - even when it seems like an uphill battle.

What Day of the Week Are You?

I am Wednesday. I care so little I almost passed out. (Yes, I stole that from Scrubs)

Snuffins, the Puffball Dog...

... is watching you.

Okee Dokee Smokee... Heeeere it comes....

I like the raccoon one best. Laura, Ben's sister, got the pig one, and it is a lot thinner than it looks in the picture.

I like the green and yellow ones best. I don't really wear rings, but these are purty.

RANDOM: My friend Alex gave me an awesome tee shirt today. It has a pic of Dr. Horrible on it, and below it says," The world is a mess, and I just need to rule it." The best part is, HE MADE IT! I really love it when people make stuff for me. Birthday cards, cookies...

This is a bag. A bag with robots on it. If you're not afraid of robots, then this is the bag for you.

This is actually more creepy than cute, but I felt obliged to comment on the idea of ladybugs crawling in your ears. There's bumblebee ones, too. You're welcome.

Why, this shirt combines two of my favorite things! The color grey, and giraffes!

I like turtles. Actually, I don't like turtles. I like tortoises. My 2nd grade teacher kept tortoises. That was random. Okay, that's all for today.

You are SO jealous...

...of my SIGNED NEIL PATRICK HARRIS PHOTO! Mwahaha! All I can say is, I have a new favorite friend. (Just kidding, Ben. I love you guys equally). Gaze with envy upon the photo of me and my best Christmas present EVAR!

Don't worry, Ben. You just have to buy me a car, and you'll be even with Guardo.

Does Ben need a new nickname?

Well, Ben is a nickname, but should we re-nickname him?

Possible Nicknames for Benjamin:

Beige
Benjy
Benny(I only added this one because I know he hates being called Benny.)
Jammin'
Hairy Mammoth (His legs are like, absurdly hairy)
Liar, Liar, Shorts on Fire (Just kidding Ben, I forgive you!)
Mr. Snuggly-Wuggly Funny-Bunny Cutie-Patootie (Drawbacks: a little long)
B-Dawg
B-izz-en
Hermit Crab Man

and.... I'm out. Any suggestions?

I don't have much to say.

Tribbles

Aw... TRIBBLES! (From Star Trek, you failure.) They shake when you bother them.

Stuff.

Okay, so this is very cute, but I'm afraid for $30 it is simply too expensive. But if you have extra money to spend on an umbrella-ella-ella, then by all means, click HERE.

HERE, at Spiral and Circle, you can get a ton of different shower caps for visiting relatives, friends, etc.

And HERE, you can purchase your very own fish training kit. Yes. Fish. Training. Kit. That's right.

Okay, my math teacher would love this. Check it out, if you solve the math problems, the answer is the correct time. (Okay, the seven o'clock space can also be answered with -6, but...)

Halloween Cookies.

Ooh! Chizzeck out these cookies.

(That is, if you have the time and energy to bake, and are not just happy with the sugar cookies you get in a roll at the store and slice up.)

I saw this sticker on THIS site, and it amused me. Not that I can vote, but...

THIS comes on shirts, but it is also on stickers. (I put this on especially for you, Ben.)

Yeah, if you're a supernerd like me, this is the bag for you. Except I don't say anything, I just twitch. (On the inside)

Speaking of grammar... In case you can't read this, the owl on the left is saying "WHO," and the owl on the right is saying "WHOM."

Speaking of owls... ModCloth has about a gajillion owl necklaces, such as the one seen above.

Speaking of... (hehe, just kidding. Bye)

I know, I know...

If I promise not to change the blog template again, can I keep it? It's so very cheerful, and we all need a little more cheerful in our liver. (Haha. I meant lives, but I wrote liver, so I left it there, 'cause its funny).

Hey, if you buy this bunny ring, it looks like the rabbit is jumping over your finger. If you're not a fan of the bunny, they have squirrels, foxes , and trees, too.

*Teah*

I've... *sob* I've... LOST MIA!!! *Whimpers*

I don't know waht I did to make her mad... she just left... *sniff*

I wanted to go to counseling, but ... *sob (again)* Bahahaha!

Whew. Couldn't keep it up. Bye, Mia! I enjoyed having you as a follower!

May the road rise to meet you, and... something irish.

Anastasia

I know who I'm getting THIS for...

When you push the button, it yodels! How great is that? You can get one HERE, you big copycat.

Okay, so my evening with Ben became...

A MOVIE MARATHON!!

We watched The Emperor's New Groove (as you know), Spirit- Stallion of the Cimarron, and The Ex. We had pancakes for dinner, and about a gazillion peanut butter m&ms for dessert. (Plus, we completed a take-home math quiz and 3 history essay outlines.) Hehe... Ben is still working on his thesis statements.

Oh, yeah, and I took the PSAT this morning at a thoroughly unreasonable hour (7:45). It wasn't nearly as bad as the Mock SAT, according to Ben. As I said before, you may recall, my lips were swollen redonkulously on the day of the Mock SAT.

So... yup. I'm wrapping it up so we can leave. *hissy fit* "But daddy, I don't wanna go! Ben's house is fun, and they have peanut butter m&ms!"

So, I'm hanging out with Ben...

We're watching the Emperor's New Groove. I can very nearly recite the entire movie from memory, and I'm driving Ben crazy because I won't shut up. I'm the future Mrs. Kronk.

"Oh, right. The poison. The poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison. That poison?"

*Hem, Hem* "Look at these wrinkles. What is holding this woman together? What the- (zooms in on spinach in Yzma's teeth) How long has that been there?"

Yzma: "OoOoh! How shall I do it? Oh, I know. I'll turn him into a flea. A harmless little flea. Then I'll put that flea into a box, and I'll put that box into another box, and mail that box to myself. And when it arrives, HAHAHA! I'll smash it with a hammer! It's brilliant, brilliant, I tell you! Genius, I say!"

So... Begone, uh, or... whatever I say to get rid of you guys.

Ben's Post

Hello world, this is BEN (Megans Friend) speaking.....I am not as funny as Megan and I dont know waht(that was sort on purpose and i dont feel like changing it) to talk about so I will talk about Spore.

Spore is awesome if you dont know it is about evolution. Chill out it is not human evolution its animal evolution. You start out as a single cell organism, then a creature, next you become a tribe of creatures, then you create a civilization, and finaly you go into space. My first creature was a bird sorta thing and I was nice to my peers and didnt eat them. That is what I think about that. I mught do another post later on in my or your life so see you later.

For Middle and High School Students...

Do you care? Show C-Span, and maybe you'll win $5000!

View the rules and prizes here.

Ben, Justin, and I are interested in doing one together. We saw a poster and... yeah.

Topic Ideas?

Okay, I've gotta say it.

Disclaimer: I apologize to those of you who don't want to hear it, I don't mind if you just ignore this post, but the following topic is really important to me, so please don't leave any rude comments. (Just let me enjoy my opinion, you're not gonna change my mind).



Okay, so, those of you who are still with me, please, PLEASE vote no on Prop 8. (In California. For all I know, prop 8 in Kansas will approve the invention of a hovercar. If that is the case, vote yes on hovercars!) It is not up to regular citizens to take away rights that gay people have enjoyed for only a few months. I also want to clarify the issue of marriage. Marriage can be religious, but in the eyes of the state, it is a legal ceremony, so no one is going to force religious people to allow it in their church/temple/mosque. If religion took no part in it, could you really deny basic rights such as hospital visitation to ordinary people who just happen to be a little different than you? "Regardless of how you feel about marriage, it’s wrong to treat people differently under the law." If you want to learn how you can help, or just see more arguments for gay marriage, visit http://www.noonprop8.com/. Thank you for letting me state my opinion, and being respectful of all kinds of people.

Just to show there's no hard feelings toward religious people, here's a way to reserve a spot in whatever good place you believe in after life. (Seriously, I'm being nice. Not mocking, I respect people's beliefs.)

Anastasia Time

This is my ultimate happy. Watching Hulu and playing solitare. (You get that I'm a geek, right?)

Oh, and HERE'S another funny SNL skit I forgot about before.

Why do humans get such joy from bothering?

Click HERE to give in to your human nature.

Or, click HERE if you would rather play a caveman's version of SPORE. (But only the cell phase)

My Dream Vacation

I would pack my new clothes from Forever 21 in my fabulous luggage, and head to the airport, where I would reach my seat immediately. Upon arrival, I would be given the keys to my rental car without hassle. We would be whisked to our hotel without delay. There, I would nap and read for as long as I wanted, without anyone making me go "see the sights." Ideally there would be an Amazon.com warehouse downstairs, where I could get any book I wanted. I could shop if I wanted to, and go see the Friends apartment. Well, that's pretty much it. I'm rather boring. Oh, I'd also like to see a play, and eat peanut-butter mnms. Below, you will find pictures of my exciting adventures.

Well, that's all for now. As Tigger would say, "TTFN."

(Except in the Tigger Movie, when he said, "TTFE" [ta ta for ever!])

(Man, that was a depressing movie)

My Netflix Queue

As it stands, here is my Netflix Queue:

The Whole Nine Yards: I LOVE this movie. Matthew Perry and Bruce Willis complement each other beautifully. Just enough violence.

Over Her Dead Body: Funny commercials on tv. What can I say? I was curious.

Buffy (Season 1): Never seen it, but it has such a huge following that it must be great. Also, I watched a few episodes of Angel, the spinoff on HULU and enjoyed it.

EDtv: I'm only getting this because the reviews say it's like the Truman Show (Which by the way Lindsey, you need to come over and finish watching), which I like, so...

Driving Lessons: Mmmmm... Rupert Grint.

Grey's Anatomy: Again, people love it. (I'm a bit of a follower)

Clueless: I heard it's funny. Like, omigosh.

Material Girls: I don't care what you say, I LIKE Hilary Duff, so there.

Josie and the Pussycats: I saw part of this on tv and I want to know what happened.

The Neverending Story: Good book=bad movie. But I don't want to judge, so I'm going to watch it first.

Anchorman: Guy in my spanish class said it was funny. *shrug*

Stardust: My Uncle Michael LOVED it, and he ordered me to add it to my queue.

Discworld: Wyrd Sisters: The Hogfather was actually not bad, so I'm trusting that the other Discworld movies are good.

Discworld: Soul Music: Ditto.

Ballet Shoes: I read these books when I was younger, and I cannot for the life of me remember what they are about. I think a movie refresher is in order.

So, there it is. Any suggestions?

You must know someone who needs one of these.

There are so many of these, I don't have time to comment on all of them. But I will certainly try.

Waffle cone smells awesome. I would probably fall head over heels in love with any guy who smelled like waffle cone.

Uuuhhh. I guess I could deal with a guy smelling like vinyl. It's better than the one below this.

No. Just- no.

Haven't you heard the expression, "Real men smell like sawdust."? (Hint: You probably haven't because I just made it up. Sounds real though, huh?)

*Deep Inhale* AAAAHHHH... Nothing like the smell of crayons. *sigh of contentment*

Yeah... not so much with the play-doh. It smells kinda salty. Tastes salty, too. (Don't try to pretend you never tasted play-doh)

M-kay. Weird. So very, very weird.

I don't love the smell of these, but I know other people like it, so I won't reject this one entirely.

You can find these and a few more at THIS SITE.

My Favorite Book. (Series)

Okay, so I don't care that Amazon says its only for grades 6-9. This book is awesome. (And the sequels aren't bad either). Here's what the back says,

"Hallow Hill has a strange and tragic history. For thousands of years, young women have been vanishing from the estate, never to be seen again. Now Kate and Emily have come to live at Hallow Hill. Brought up in a civilized age, they have no idea of the land's dreadful heritage. Until, that is, Marak decides to tell them himself.

Intelligent, pleasant, and completely pitiless, Marak is a magician who claims to be a king-and he has very specific plans for the two new girls who have trespassed into his kingdom."

(I'll have you know I retyped that from the back of the book.) If you want to buy it, click HERE.

A s'mores party!

Ben's mom has a deep love for making food, so when my Uncle Michael sent her a recipe from a magazine for S'mores Cheesecake, she proceeded to find every s'mores recipe ever and make ALL of them for his visit this weekend. Yeah. All of them. PICTURES! (My uncle's camera has a strange memory card, so I had to find picures online)

MmMmMmmMmmM. S'mores cheesecake.

A marshmallow-y cake. (I stole the picture from THIS blog)

You make me sad.

SAY SOMETHING! Don't you have an opinion? Tell me about your favorite stuffed animal. I'll start.

I have many "favorites", but my favoritefavoritefavoritefavoritefavorite is Teddy, my teddy bear. I also like my manatee which my dad got me at SeaWorld. Ooh, and my softsoftsoft Thumper doll from Disneyland.

Halloween is Coming...

And I don't know about you, but I'm far too lazy to actually scoop the guts out of a pumpkin and carve it without injuring myself or others.

This is my solution.

A Visit to the USS Midway

Okay, so my Uncle Michael is visiting, and he wanted to see the Midway. (Don't ask me why, it is extrordinarily boring). Anyway, he, my brother, and my dad called to tell us that they were on the Flight Deck and they could see a camera recording stuff. I went online and found the webcam, and here they are!



I love it when I can do stuff like that. Makes me feel like big brother.

Oh, by the way, I now have TWO followers, one of whom actually commented on a post. I feel so famous! YAY MIA! (and Ben, but he doesn't comment :-)
