The Omnipotent A.S.H.

So, track just started.  I’m really enjoying it so far.  Lots of running and I get to hang out with my friend Tyler more.  For those of you who don’t know, I did cross country in the fall.  I guess running is just my thing…

As some of you might know, I have a rock collection.  I think it’s pretty cool.  Anyway, I have a bunch of cool looking rocks and stuff like that.  This particular specimen is smoky quartz that I found during a camping trip to duck creek a few years ago.  If you want to see the full gallery then here’s click here.

      I woke up at 6:57am this morning to the sound of a huge clash of thunder.  I went upstairs to see the rain and lightning when there was another huge flash of lightning and another huge or should I say loud clash of thunder, I timed it and then hopped onto the computer to do some calculations and research on air density, speed of sound, humidity, elevation, all that stuff.  Then I calculated the approximate distance in meters factored in everything else and then I came up with an accurate distance for the flash of lightning.  It was about 1/6 of a mile from our house.  After that I did the same for three more flashes of lightning, each one farther away, here are my results:

      1.  7:01,  1/6  mile

      2.  7:13,  1.7  mile

      3.  7:15,  1.97 mile

      4.  7:17  3 1/3 mile

So, am i the most awesome person or what.  My mom just left for girls camp on Tuesday and I have been babysitting ALL day ever since.  Don't tell Ellie I said this but she has been the worst of the lot.  I can't get her to do anything, she won't stop whining, and she won't come out of the basement  Gwyneth hasn't been that bad, she has been playing at Brooklyn's house most of the time, and hasn't done much whining or crying. but she is really stubborn and I am having a hard time keeping track of her.  Her and Brooklyn are having an inside day because they got in some trouble yesterday.  Andrea has been pretty good, she just kind of orbits around me most of the time.  Although bed time can be some trouble, and she keeps plotting new ways to get some chips and or M&Ms.  I've spent most of my time doing some extra chores like cleaning the entire house and scrubbing the floors.  The only room left is the babies room…

The other morning I woke up to a little surprise. "Mmmmm, look a spider, hey there's another spider, ummm, there is a third spider, oh my gosh, a fourth spider, ugh a fifth spider, I'm leaving."

Try saying this ten times fast, “The unpleasant saved peasant slave!”

I was listening to Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor while I was bored and…

… I went crazy and… you get the idea, (don’t worry mom, I wasn’t pounding or anything like that, just typing!)

I had another dream last night, but unlike the last one I actually finished this one.  I also remembered the beginning of this one. 

I was on a camping trip with some other people and everything was going fine.  After a few days of camping a lady came to our camp and said that me and my sister have an invitation to a kids resort and for kids only, we would be staying for one hundred days and would get just about whatever we wanted, and it was all free.  The lady said that it was within walking distance so we would be able to go there on foot.  Somehow we got down a giant cliff and we were at the resort.  There were four sections at the resort and each had its own theme I guess you could say, you also got to choose your own section that you would be staying in.  One room was just a simple room with the essentials it also had popped popcorn covering the floor, I guess for people who like living simply and eating popcorn which seems totally random.  Another room had a giant T.V. in it and all sorts of electronics I guess that is for video game geeks and people like that.  The third room had large statues that were made of bronze were holding bows and arrows and were wearing ancient Greek battle helmets and had a a very large outside courtyard with lots of grass and cobblestones, it looked like it was for kids that liked moving and playing sports.  The final room was a very large and ornate section of the resort.  The majority of it was a large pillared room with lots of books, tables, music stands, and stuff like that.  The floor and walls were made of marble and had lots of windows letting in lots of sunlight and the extremely high ceiling was that made almost entirely out of glass.  There was classical music playing in the background and there were separate quarters for each of the guests to stay in.  I would take a wild guess and say this room was meant for people who like playing music, reading books, relaxing, and living the sweet life.  I chose the fourth section of the resort and Ellie wanted to stay in the third section.  Ellie eventually decided to stay in the fourth section with me.  I had an odd feeling about this resort so just to be safe I took the Sim card out of my phone and put it in my pocket and my phone in my other pocket.  There were hundreds of kids there and it should have been fun but there was still a feeling that something was wrong gnawing at my mind.  the majority of the time was great, filled with relaxation and luxury.  About ninety days into the vacation I started to get uneasy again and the feeling that something was horribly wrong started to pop up in my head again.  Kids had started going home abruptly, we would wake up and their luggage was gone and the staff had said that they had gone home early.  Why would they go home early?  A luxury vacation for free, it seemed odd that they would go home early from something that would normally cost a fortune.  And then the old lady started showing up more and it looked like she was gaining weight, that creeped me out a lot.  When it was nearing the end of the vacation most of the kids had gone home, and the old lady looked like she was about to explode she was so fat now.  She asked me to come to her office with her, she said that my parents had come to pick me and my sister up early.  That early scenario again, I wasn't buying it.  The old lady had a hungry look in her eyes, like she was looking at a very yummy meal.  I thought about it and I used my telepathy to let Ellie know that I was going to run for it, she agreed with me and we ran.  The old lady chased us but luckily she was not very fast due to her newly gained weight.  Ellie and I ran into a movie studio and climbed a tree.  Next thing I know I was at the high school in Springville.  I saw a person jogging around the park and decided to go ask them for help, and what a coincidence!  It was my mom, I went and asked her what she was doing and she asked what i was doing home from the resort that was hundreds of miles away and that hadn't even closed yet.  I explained the situation to her and she just took my sister and I home and I started blogging about the experience.  After that I woke up and started blogging about the dream.

That dream kind of reminded me of an episode of Heroes that I watched yesterday, people disappearing mysteriously, and things like that.  I think I took the Sim card out of my phone because I was taking a precaution against something happening to me like the old lady taking us all hostage and takes our phones that way I still have my Sim card so I could use sombody else's phone, but I don't really know.  The fourth section of the resort would be someplace that I would love to live in and it has a lot of the things that I enjoy doing.  One thing I noticed is that I had total control of my thoughts while I was sleeping, I told myself during the dream that I would finish it and I would make a good ending to the dream, so it was kind of like a daydream but better.  I was in my own little world enjoying the luxury of a kids only resort where I got almost whatever I wanted.  I also noticed that there was no couch in this dream, I wonder why…

Hi, this blog entry is just for experimenting with some of the buttons that only I get to press.

It worked!!  That makes me happy. 

This is Dr. Horrible.  Dr. Horrible's sing along blog

Good, that worked too, that makes me more happy.

 That is about all i wanted to test right now and I was successful!!!!!!

So I am down in my basement playing Dance Dance Revolution on the Wii, when Gray says to me that we are like some lazy college students sitting downstairs playing video games and when it's not our turn using the laptop.  Anyway our team has a challenge to complete five songs or more on the Basic level or higher, and none of us have managed to get an A yet over the period of an hour.

I had a dream last night and it went something like this:

The beginning is a little blurry and so I'll just skip to the part I remember.  I was hiking in a cave named Vampire Cave, it was called Vampire Cave because of all the stalactites in it.  I was with some other miscellaneous people and we found this big lit cavern, lit by electric lights, don't ask me how they got there I have no idea.  Anyway, there was a big leather couch in the cavern and everyone was sitting on it and then somebody got all angry at us and said that we weren't allowed to sit on the couch.  Then we looked at the couch and there were little words on the couch that looked like they had been written  in another language, a power seemed to emanate from the words on the couch, like they were whispering to us trying to tell us something more secret and sinister then anything in the universe.  Oh, and I forgot to mention that there was a heavy solid steel door on the entrance to the cavern.  So all of a sudden there was a little chattering noise coming from the neighboring chamber and then a bunch of little blue monkeys burst out of the door.  I looked outside of the door and there were hundreds of little monkeys running towards the door, so I slammed it shut and locked all the other monkeys out.  But there were still a bunch of monkeys running around inside the chamber.  Somehow they got taken care of and locked in a cage.  Later that day we were doing a weight experiment and the whole cave moved up and down.  By then I had suggested that we get out because the cave could be quite unstable by now, so they all listened and we made our way out of the cave.  We decided to go to a cave called Angel Cave and do some exploring there, and then one of us said he had left something important down in the cave so a couple of us, including me, went down to go get it.  When we got down there, there was a big crash and we were trapped in total darkness, and then I woke up.

It was quite an intriging dream and I don't know how my mind drifted to that train of thougt during my sleep.  Maybe I was thinking about the book Journy to the Centre of the Earth, becasue my dream was very similar to some of the situations down there, being blocked off by a big rock, living things in the bottom of a cave that aren't blind or white, and the whole scenario and the story timeline.  One of my worst fears is being trapped in a cave so I guess you could call it a nightmare or something, I don't think I would like to be attacked by little blue monkeys while I was exploring an unkown cave.  And don't even get me started on the couch.  What could the couch mean?  What was the purpose of that couch?  What was the sinister secret that it was trying to tell us?  Why was it emanating with power?  I guess that we'll never know now.  And where the heck did I get the idea of the little blue monkeys from?  I seem to have some vague recolection of some weird creepy monkeys on my little sisters shows like Dora or something.  Maybe the monkeys were based after Boots from Dora the Explorer.  They looked a lot alike.  Now that I think about it though I don't it was Dora.  I can't seem to get my mind off the couch, it seems so mysterious and cool. What do you think it means?  Maybe it is something locked away and hidden in my sister's closet or under her bed.  Who knows what secrets lay there.
