thanksgiving slap in the face

       Thanksgiving i get with my huge family and we eat and play games and have the best of time but this year there was a twist... a great twist. lets start at the begining.
       Over the summer my pretty cute cousin got married. I was camping and didn't go see his wife or her family but its OK because they came to Thanksgiving with us. Well his new wife has this brother about my age and he was cute... like hot damn what a babe. So at first nobody knew who he was but he looked like a kid in my math class in the 7th grade so I went to go introduce myself and of course I start flirting with him. And it was pretty great that for once the only person flirting with me was not the creepy kid in gym. So after I told him I had to go sit with my grandma and turns out his dad was there and as soon as I sat down my grandma tells me the he I had been flirting with for the past hour and a half was a girl! That's right a chick. I try not to be rude but my jaw dropped. I was so grossed out. I don't mind if she wants to be a he its the fact that I was flirting with him forever and she didn't tell me! It was a huge slap in the face. I avoided him/her for the rest of the night. I guess its good because he was like my cousin in law or something and that's wrong. At least I learned to never flirt with a super hot kid at a family gathering.

the epic tale of hey diddle diddle.

Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
the cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed to see such fun
and the dish ran away with the spoon!

Once upon in time in Lysville there was a cat named Kat that no one liked and no one was nice or ever noticed her. She sat in the back of the class and was silent as a mouse. She was so sad that she had no friends. She dreamed of the day when she would have friends and be a cool cat. Kat had a big crush this boy at her school. He was a fiddle and the most popular cutest boy at school. His name was peter. One day while she was a school, she was sitting there doing her work when peter turned and asked for a pencil. She was aghast that he even wanted to talk to her! She handed him a pencil and he said, “Thanks sweetheart. I’ll give it back later, pinky swear.”  Then he turned and went back to his work. Sweetheart? Why was he being so nice he didn’t seem like the type to do that? She pulled out her journal and started writing in it. “Dear journal, today at school the peter turned and asked for a pencil. I was freaking out inside but outside I was calm and collected. J”  there was no way she could focus on here math when her crush had just called her a sweetheart. All she could think about was how fine his strings were and how perfectly golden brown his wood was. She was head over hills for him. He handed it back and said, “thanks so much Kat! Love ya!”  ‘He knew my name and said I love you?! I didn’t even know he knew my name.’ she thought. She went on in the next class thinking about how perfect he was and writing it in her journal when the school bully, Diddle stole her journal and started reading it aloud. The dog laughed to see such fun the class was having. “That’s funny how you think a loser like you could be with such a cool kid like peter! Ha it kills me!” the little dog laughed. Kat was so embarrassed that she ran home and never made friends. To cope with her sadness she started reading her favorite comic books. In the back of the Amazing Spiderman, she saw an ad for a robot builder. She thought that the robot builder could make her friends so she sent in ten dollars and waited. Four weeks later a fridge sized box came in the mail. “my friends!” she shrieked as she dashed out of the house to the mail box. She dragged the box in and opened it. In side was a dish a spoon with eyes a mouth, hands, legs, and a computer chip brain. She was so happy that she turned them on and ran to show her mom the cow. “Mom! Mom! My friends cam in the mail! My friends came in the mail!”  her mom walked over and gawked at how amazing they were. “aren’t they cool? I finally have friends! And they do whatever I ask!” Kat said with glee. She flipped them and watched as they came to life. “hello I am dish.” “and I am spoon.” They both jumped with joy. Then the cow jumped so high that she jumped over the moon!  "the cow jumped over the moon!" people shouted. "oh no! dish! Spoon! Go get my cow mother!” she scream. “yes sir!” said and ran right through the wall! “She is on the moon where are you going? the dish ran away with the spoon! What the crap?!?” she didn’t know what to do so she lived alone with no one not even a mom. Then one day when she was all grown up she was sitting on the porch drinking a glass of lemonade all alone when her high school crush pete, was walking past. “Kat is that you? You look amazing!” he came over and they chated away soon falling in love. He asked for her hand after 5 years of dating. On there wedding they were driving away when they saw the high school bully diddle looking like a loser. "hey diddle diddle the cat and the fiddle just like you said they wouldnt!" they scream as they drove past. but the driver was driving under  the infulence and hit him then swarved and crashed into a tree. they never even made it one day as a couple.

royal wedding news!

Just after announcing his engagement, Prince William told the world he had given Kate Middleton the distinctive sapphire and diamond ring belonging to his late mother Diana, Princess of Wales, as "my way of making sure my mother didn't miss out on today and the excitement."

The prince was particularly close to his mother, who died in a Paris car crash in 1997, and both he and his brother Harry know how much his wedding would have meant to her. William is even reported to have taken his fiancée to visit Diana's tomb at her ancestral home, Althorn House, in central England, in the run-up to the big day.

Royal experts say the second-in-line to the British throne has been closely involved in the planning of the wedding, which has other echoes of Diana.

As well as taking place at Westminster Abbey, where his mother's funeral took place, after they are married, William and Kate will ride to Buckingham Palace in the open-topped 1902 State Landau carriage that carried Prince Charles and Diana after their wedding in 1981. The Glass Coach that transported Diana to St. Paul's Cathedral will be used if the weather is wet.

Kate? And while Diana cannot be at the wedding, William seems to have taken care to invite guests of whom his mother might have approved. These include Elton John; a friend of Diana's who sang "Candle in the Wind" at her memorial service, soccer star David Beckham and Madonna's former husband Guy Ritchie.

Arthur Edwards, royal photographer for The Sun tabloid newspaper for more than 30 years, said Prince William -- like his mother before him -- wants close control of media coverage. "He wants everything his way. He didn't want anybody to break the (engagement) story, for instance," Edwards told CNN.

"William wanted to do it, he explained to us on the day of the engagement. He said 'I want this marriage for life.' And it was very organized and rational, the way he was speaking, and transparent, I thought. He was just very honest."

Kate too has described her respect for Diana, to whom she is often compared, saying "obviously I would have loved to have met her and she's obviously an inspirational woman to look up to."

Representatives of many of the charities closely associated with both William and his mother, such as the homeless project Centre point, will also be among the 1,900 wedding guests, and Ken Wharfe, who was Diana's bodyguard, said it is this that is her chief legacy.

"We all know what Diana's feelings would be today, she'd be immensely proud of her son. But she'll be remembered for the campaigning work she did to find a cure for AIDS. She was the first member of the royal family that was actually prepared to put her name to it. In the '80s, AIDS wasn't a subject that people talked about generally.

"I remember going with Diana to many charitable soup kitchens in central London, often without the glare of the media. I went with William as well, where she was actually instructing William. I think it will be her legacy of kindness and sincerity and the fact that she captivated the hearts of the normal man or woman on the street. Such was her popularity, she knew how to communicate ... remember the royal family does communicate, but in a way that is so traditionally royal."

Ghost city symbolises cost of nuclear disaster

People were instructed by a guide to not touch anything in the kindergarten they passed through in Pripyat. There were such things on the shelves like plastic cubes and teddy bears kiddies’ books. Normal things you would find in a kindergarten right? The only difference is these toys were coated in thick leprous white dust. And scattered among them were infant sized gas masks. Something terrifying had made the toddlers flee their innocent corner of the world. Their home, Pripyat, once a model city, had become the set of the true-life apocalypse movie. Cursed by the winds that blow from the Chernobyl few kilometers away, Pripyat is a snapshot of astronomical cost of the world’s worst nuclear disaster. No one knows if they lived or not. Tis very sad indeed.

the awesome tale of the amazing snowboarder Alexa Loo

Vancouver British Columbia the Canadian snowboarder Alexa Loo will compete in the parallel giant slalom at Cypress Mountain. Loo missed qualifying for the 2002 winter Olympics by 11 hundredths of a second. Four years later, in Turin Italy she became the first Canadian woman to compete in parallel giant slalom. She put together a solid first run, even pulled ahead of the world cup point’s leader in her second race, only to tumble with four gates remaining. She tore her knee ligament but she returned in September with renewed focus only to lose her financing in 2008. Loo needed to finish in the top 16 in the world to qualify for her $18,000 stipend from Sport Canada, the country’s Olympic committee. That was impossibility after the injury cost her half the season. Funny how life works though because after she lost her financing fell into place. In December she became engaged. Last month she won a world cup silver medal in Austria. She represented Canada in the winter Olympics a short drive from home that looked out at the mountains.
