Eating scrambled eggs at 10pm

Yummmmmmm!!!!

Google Translate

Have you ever noticed that when you use Google Translate and translate English to a foreign language and then back again it never comes out exactly the same? I got this idea off of Youtube and had to try it myself.  So here it is:
 
The original:

Sick by Shel Silverstein

"I cannot go to school today,"
Said little Peggy Ann McMay.
"I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash,a rash and purple bumps.
My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,
I'm going blind in my right eye.
my tonsils are as big as rocks,
I've counted sixteen chicken pox
And there's one more- that's seventeen,
And don't you think my face looks a little green?
My leg is cut, my eyes are blue-
It might be instamatic flu.
I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I'm sure that my left leg is broke-
My hip hurts when I move my chin,
My belly button's caving in,
My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained,
My 'pendix pains each time it rains.
My nose is cold, my toes are numb,
I have a sliver in my thumb.
My neck is stiff, my voice weak,
I hardly whisper when I speak.
My tongue is filling my mouth,
I think my hair is falling out.
My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight,
My temperature is one-o-eight.
My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,
There is a hole inside my ear.
I have a hangnail, and my heart is- what?
What's that? What's that you say?
You say today is... Saturday?
G'bye, I'm going out to play!"

New Version:
And Shel Silverstein
" Today , I go to school "
Little Peggy Ann McMay.
"But I like the measles mumps
The first type, how rash and purple bumps.
As I write, my throat is dry
I blind my eyes.
My rock, the tonsils, a large,
And in the eleventh and smallpox
No - Seven
I think I have a bit of green?
I have some blue eyes,
 China byćgrypa the Instamatic.
Cough, sneeze, and the sea, I , their necks,
A cut foot
 Hip hurts when I move my chin,
My boss at the end of the year,
Broken leg sprained,
My " give the rain time.
I, and my fingers to the total you need such cold feet
Thumb splinter received.
My stiff neck, his voice weak
I said.
Stop and I burn my throat, and a complete
I think about my hair.
My right hand,
And is the average temperature - eight of them.
My brain, it can not answer
And, behold, a hole.
I cut and- in my heart?
What's this?
What?
They say today... Saturday?
G'bye , gram !"

A Shakesperean Argument

My almost 19 brother is in college now so I don't get to talk to him that much. Every so often we text each other and I have to say that our conversations are the bomb-diggity. This is my favorite one (by the way, this is right after he performed in a talent show):

My bro: Just wait till the next show... I've got a real good mash up in the works.

Me: Play Royals, por favor!

Bro: I would but Royals sounds like poop when you play acoustic.

Me: Then Love Club! Or Buzzcut Season!

Bro: I don't know either if those songs, but Home maybe a possibility.

Me: Look 'em up!

Bro: No.

Me: Do it. I command thee.

Bro: Ha! I scoff at thee, you wretched woman. For thou hast hast no power over me. Now be gone with you foul beast.

Me: Never! I put a curse on both your houses!

Bro: Oh how foolish you are wench, I have but one house!

Me: Though clouted scurvy- valiant haggard.

Bro: I bite my thumb at thee. (Shakespearean middle finger)

Me: I scorn you, scurvy companion. What, you poor, base, rascally, cheating, lack-linen mate! Away, you moldy rogue, away!

Bro: (I'd line to remind you that my brother is almost nineteen at this point) Well you are a big poopy head.

Me: If you spend word for word with me, I shall make your wit bankrupt.

Bro: Stop cheating!

Me: I'm not cheating! I'm just smart!

Bro: You're poop.

Me: Heehee



I would like to say, though, that I really do love my brother.  I couldn't ask for anyone greater than him.  I am really going to miss him when he goes on a mission in Bahia Blanca, Argentina for two years.  I am going to miss his texts and our arguments.  I am going to miss him one upping me everyday by just living because he really knows how to live.  And if h ever reads this, I would like to say I love you! and I am really happy you are my older brother. And I also can't wait for our next awkward hug!!!!! (My Physics teacher says that if you put more than four exclamation points, you are technically insane!!!!!< If you cannot count that is five exclamation points :D). If you have an older sibling turn to them now and tell them how much you care about them! I know it is hard to get along with them but it is always great to try!

Sweet 16

Two days ago I turned sixteen. And, yes, it was on the suckiest Super Bowl there ever was! And, yes, that suckiness tainted the the only reason I watch the Super Bowl: the commercials! My friend and I were so bored that we watched Series of Unfortunate Events instead. I bet you Seahawks fans are all like: "That was the best Super Bowl ever! I the whole world!" But if I don't get my commercials there are going to be some problems!
Anyway, three days ago my dad came home with the cake mix for chocolate fudge and asks me if he could do cupcakes instead because he wants to give them eyes. I had no clue what he was talking about.
So I said yes.
My dad spent three hours on these cupcakes and it wasn't for nothing. I was the happiest person when I saw these lovely cupcakes covering my counter:


I love them so much!!!
It kinda of sucks, though I am not complaining, that this year was the year that I didn't want to do anything for my birthday. I didn't want anything from my friends or parents. But being the awesome parents I have, I am going to San Francisco for two days and I got presents!!! This birthday has been really great, even though English teachers think it is fine to assign a boat-load of homework...
I didn't get a huge party with lots of boys flirting with me, but I did get an awesome trip to another city! I am so excited!

            This is me!!! Isn't it great?
