it's almost 8 am. but my body says its 7 am. & it all means its too early.

at the moment i can't stop listening to "brace yourself" by howie day. it's so pretty & sad..

I can't do cartwheels. iim too un-co & tall. i think i used to be able to do like one or two.

but i can skip (like with a long rope with 2 other people turning it) on a pogo stick and i can turn around in circles while doing it :tongue:

Before you go to any trouble, I can't cartwheel either. I think I would break something if I tried! :lol: But I'd be interested to see how my fellow admins would answer..

Me cartwheeling would not be a pretty sight. I think it would resemble the actions of a one legged crab.
One day I will not think...I will just be...

Sometimes people with the worst pasts have the best futures.

You learn from the journey and trying to get where you want to go. Actually arriving is not what it's all about.

ah well firstly madmoiselle frog is going as soon as i have time to find/ make something more suitable & interesting. she's cute, but she's outstayed her welcome :-? i want something cool & fashiony.

I used to be "thatway" which i chose in some moment of (temporary?:tongue:) insanity without thinking. Then I wanted something cool and other languagey, so I looked through some latin sites. Licentia Poetica means "poetic licence", which I thought fitting because well, expressions mod, & also the times i feel like my life is nothing but some very, very, very long boring story.

So, yeah :wink:


edited like 3 times because im a dope with too little sleep. :roll:

oh. that. yes. well. don't listen to what the government says is going on in Russia...generally it's the exact opposite :D

goldfish rule! I have three...but they jump and that's kind of weird. Apparently you can eat sea cucumbers :-?

So. Have you ever read the dictionary? Not cover to cover, just for kicks?

Ha! Bet you thought everyone had left you alone didn't you?


Hmm.

Do penguins have knees? (I don't expect you to know, I just wondered!)

And.

What's your favourite city?

someone has written a book on penguin knees :o

but...apparently they do

"Do penguins have knees?
This is an old chestnut. Penguins, in common with all birds, have a different arrangement of joints in the legs from those in mammals. However, they do have joints equivalent to our knees - the difference is that these joints are much closer to the hip than on mammals."

well that was informative, thanks :)
