Deck the Crypt with Skulls and Bats, fa la la la la, la la la la!

I hope you all are having a white Christmas....'cause I'm sure not. :( It's 65 degrees outside and not a trace of snow! Oh, well.

I've gotten a lot of things with skulls on it ( a bath robe, tea-mug, leggins). My parents know me so well!!! As well as the movie "Leather Heads" (one of my fave.s!). Actually, part of that movie was filmed right across the street where the band I'm in practices! (I play back up for the back up fiddle. LOL)

I got Mom a Natalie MacMaster CD and Dad the Monty Python's Flying Circus collection - which he loved! yea!

Merry Christmas!

~Merry Christmas , Minx

Yellow Belt! Yes!!!!

I tested for my yellow belt last Wednesday! I think I did pretty good.

OMG, before we started testing, my teacher comes over to me and gives me a weird look. Then at the end of the test he comes over to me and tells me I have my pants on backwards!! 8(
I was so embarased! The only difference b/t front and back is you have an itsy-bitsy black Korean logo on the front.
But.....as long as I get the belt. :)

Mental Leftovers

Oh, good Lord.
Apart from being in a turkey coma, this friday is going pretty good. I keep looking around the house for familiar things, because I keep thinking I must be in the wrong house, since mine has never been this clean! I wonder how long it will last.... I'm listening to Enter the Haggis's Soapbox Heroes album in their multi-media center; you can check it out here:
http://www.enterthehaggis.com/soapboxheroes.cfm
ETH is so awesome! They don't play just one kind of music, it's a mix of fusion, bluegrass, celtic, rock, and pretty much anything you can think of! A lot of the songs are tradtional Irish (Star of the County Down; The Minstril Boy; etc.) and Scottish (Martha Stewart --no, not the lady who was put in jail). However, there are a good bit of political and society based songs, or something like that.
Hang on- I got on here to talk about Friday, not ETH, but then, how could I resist? lol
Last nights dinner was pretty good. A lot of it consisted of my grandmother and her mother-in-law rolling eyes at each other.... but I won't go in to that. After eating, we shared stories about chicken-houses and liquor stills-- no, I'm not an alchoholic, just so you know. lol

My mother refused to let me play our Greatest Hits of Queen throughout dinner. *Pout*
Queen rocks.

~Minx

"Ainge" Belt

Well, Taekwondo (a Koren martial art) class was today. A good many
people recieved their orange-- or as we girls sometimes joke with our cute
little southern accents "Ainge"-- belt today. I'm still a white belt b/c this is
my first year. Oh well. I still think purple belts are pretty than "ainge" (lol!).

~Minx

A Dirge for Her, the Doubly Dead.....

Well, I finally found the tattoo I
want, now only the question of where
to put it remains. Oh well, I still
have till I'm 18 to figure it out.



I also found a beautiful
picture of a rose today.->
Well, my version of
beautiful anyway.....




My friend is convinced I am a zombie- sorry, differently biotic. Now why would she think
something like that? Never mind, don't answer
that. While I have to admit, my hands are some-
times purple (and when they aren't purple, they're deathly white) and always cold and my pulse isn't always easy to find, I am not dead. No offense to those who are.

So....yeah. That's about it. I'm not dead...yet....soon, but not yet.

See ya,
~Minx

Happy Halloween!!!!!

Happy Halloween everyone! I hope you have a better day than I will. Unfortunatly, I can't go trick or treating this year b/c a cheerleading thing came up. I know, I know cheer season is over, but it's like an end-of-year thing.
So last night I got dressed up in a cheer' suit from my old school and drew on some stitches and rung my own door bell. Little need I say, my parents answered the door and my dad gave me that "Go' , you're dumb..." look.

-- But I got candy just as well! yippee!--
so, any way, I was probaly the worst zombie-cheerleader ever, I still can't spell worth a dern (I'de go insane w/ out spellcheck!), I really want something cold from starbucks, and so on...
~Minx/Meg

Icons

Some icons I thought were meaningful to me.

~Minx

Sweet!

I have a follower! Yeah! And I also made this little Thingamabob:



Draw Your Own Picture


Cool huh?

~Minx

Cool...

This is something cool I found on another site, thought you might find it interesting...:

Round and Round it goes-- Owe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guess what I discovered last night:

I was making cookies (chocolate chip of course). When I had to use the electric beater, I was using a wooden spoon to scrape the sides of the bowl.
The spoon got caught up in the beaters and then took up my hand with it! At level 2, I jammed the beater till it stopped completly with my first two fingers.
Smart move Meg, real smart.

Greetings from Asheville!

I'm in Asheville, NC right now! woo hoo! Me and the parents came all the way up here for a football game I had to cheer at, then we decided to spend the night. I'm writing from a hotel --they have internet! Yes!
We won the JV (junior varsity) game, but lost varsity. It was freezing cold! On our breaks the cheerleaders were all hudled up like little scared kittens! lol. I dyed my pony tail purple, you probably will be proud to know. :)
Well, I better go, Asheville is calling. I must go mingle with my people (the cool people-lol!)
See ya!

Bubye Algebra!

OMG!! I took my last Algebra test to day and passed it by the skin of my teeth!
No more algebra for me :), it's an easy road down business math lane from now on!

If Your'e Emo and You Know It.......

This is a useless song me and some friends at school sing. alot.

If your'e emo and you know it.....slit your wrist "Ah!"
If your'e emo and you know it.....slit your wrist "Ah!"
Oh if your'e emo and you know it then your'e wrist/scares will surly show it,
If your'e emo and you know it.....slit your wrist "Ah!"

I sort of feel sorry for the emo kids that have to listen to that all day.
--Wait....CCA doesn't have any emo kids...--
My Bad. XD

Laugh with your friends, it's the only way to survive high school.
~Minx

It's b/c we weren't there. Seriously.

Well, I have just been told today that the JV (junior varsity) won, but varsity lost.
I bet it was because the cheerleaders weren't there. I mean who has heard of a winning team without cheerleaders?!! Seriously! Lol.
~Meg

Sogginess....Yuck! DX

GRR! Our home field for football got flooded b/c of all this (gritted teeth) Glorious.....Glorious...rain!!!! Feels like I live it Gloomsville right now!!

Anyway, we had to move the game to another field....far. far. away. But, since gas prices are being....ya know, gas prices, the cheerleaders had to stay behind. :( I still haven't found out if we won or not!!! It's driving me crazy!!!!!!

Oh well, I'll find out soon enough.
~Minx

Here we go again......

Okay, I'm still not happy with my layout, so I'm gonna change again.
mabey go for something Avril Lavine-y. LOL! IDK...

Football Game

Well, the football players won their first game!!! Both JV and Varsity! It was an away game, BTW.

This is funny:

We were driving over a lake (on a bridge, duh.) and one of our cheerleaders goes:

"Ohmigosh! Is that the ocean?!?"
We all looked at her.
"Liz!.......that's Lake Reed!"
"Oh...............oh! is that why we're called the Lake Reed Bulldogs?"

O. M. G. That girl is blonder than I am! And she's brown headed!

Just so you know, all names on this blog are obscured (except mine, woops!).
Liz is not the cheerleader's name. We are not the Lake Reed Bulldogs. and Lake Reed does not exist. sorry. :)

S'kelly

Oky-Dokey, Here's the Charater Review for S'kelly (Skelly).

About the name thing: S'kelly is actually a combination of the character's first and last names: Susan + Kelly= S'kelly

The name suits her better, anyway, seeing though how she actually is.....a skeleton. That's right, a walking, talking, grave-excaping skeleton of a girl- with a few exeptions of rather all bones, she actually has hair and eyes. No one knows how it happened....but, I don't think they're complaining. lolz.

S'kelly died in a house fire (to get the full details, you'll have to either read the book or do a good bit of sucking up). However, while she has grown to accept her appearance (being a skeleton I mean), she's still a good deal uncomfortable when the subject rolls around to her "sudden departure".

There are more than a few hints in the book/series/episodes (episodes! could my genious work really become a Tv show!?!?!? :o :D XD) that S'kelly does, in fact, have a crush on Ghoul, however, there is no real indication that the zombie knows this.

S'kelly works hard to make sure her friends know her mood and emotions since facial expression is somewhat limeted.

Lil' Zimbie Gurl

This is a little thing I did on Paint. It actually turned out pretty good, well, it looks like the original paper version anyway.....

LOl!
G' Night!
~Minx

First day of school!

School started today. (half heatedly) Yay...... School actually isn't that bad, though I may have made an enemy with one of the primary-school teachers.....
There are certainly alot more highschoolers this year. 97 students in total (for the whole school, not HS. LOL)! I see some familiar faces, though. Some students that were in my Mom's Kindergarten class.

It's raining right now. Yay!!! I love the rain. Although it's certainly not helping the fact that the class room feels like the Artic Circle already! Brr!....

Lunch was pretty fun. Me and a friend swatted an uneaten fruit cup back and forth, somehow we found that ......amusing....(?) lolz

TTYL! (Type to ya later! lolz)

'Graveyard Gang' character review

Hi there! Graveyard Gang is a story/possible comic that I'm writing, so I thought I could make a little character review.

Characters:
^
Marian Josephs /(that's suposed to be a arrow) (well, something
like that....lol! I'm
not very good @
paint. lolz)

Marian Josephs was never a girl who made friends easily, but when she moved to small town Glendale, things got worse. She was the only 8th grade in the entire school and towered over her sixth and seventh grade classmates. Two weeks later, she finally starts making friends, but they all share a common flaw....
--they're all dead.--
Marian meets her new (and first) best friend the mysterious skeleton-girl, Susan Kelly, on a classic dark and foggy night. Marian's friends also include Mary Hale --a haint--, Boone Montgumery (nicknamed "Boo")--a poltergeist-in-training-- and Gualterio Giordano (who was given a much more easier to pronounce name ,'Ghoul') --an Italian zombie.


Much more to come!!!!!
Though, I might not have pictures for everyone.... sorry!


School starts tomarrow! Zomg!

News Flash

Ookie-Doke! The blog will be undergoing a little transformation, (who am I talking to? Does anyone even actually read this?) by me and the Minx-ets (the little people and the voices that run around inside my head that tell me what to do lolz!).
So, keep a look-out for new stuff!

TTYL!
~Minx

"So, Minx....What do you want to be when you grow up?"

Yeah, yeah, I know I already made a post today about the tea and all, but I 'm really bored.

--So, I tell you what I want to be when I grow up! :)--

I want to be a MORTICIAN.

Wait! Don't leave! I'm not a freak!!! ......Okay, yeah, I am...... heheheh....right. Anyway, I don't just want to be a mortician b/c I'm some kind of morbid weirdo, there are other reasons:

- You have to have a strong stomach................................check.
- You have to be comforable working w/ the dead.........check.
- Mortuary School...shouldn't be too crowded..........lol..check.
- When dead ppl don't laugh @ my jokes,
doesn't mean they're not funny................................check.

Plus, somebody's got to do it.
~Minx

Dude! Where's my tea water!?!?!

HAHAHAHA! This is probably a really stupid post, but I'm gonna make it anyway.
A few minuites ago, I was heating up some water for tea in the microwave, and I forgot that you're soposed to heat the water for 45 seconds and let the tea steep for 3 minutes!
Three minuites later, that water was gone and it felt like a rainforest in my microwave!!! LOLOLOLOL!

~Minx

ps- I'm such an idiot! LOLz

"Oh, Micky , you so fine, you so fine you blow my mind, Hey Micky!"

Well, I am somewhat happy to report that I am a cheerleader again. I am now a back spotter for Storm!
A back spotter? Again? How'de that happen?
Anyway, school starts on the 25th for me, I'm excited to be getting back. *Dodges the flying, rotten fruit*
And while I'm not bursting out singing, "Oh Micky! you so fine! You so fine you blow my mind, Hey Micky!"-
-- Okay, I did do that, but only once!--
I have got in touch with my more.....enthusiastic side. :)

And to all you lurkers out there, "Please, Please comment! Whaaaaa! *crys*!"
*sob* *picks self up off the ground* "ahem"I mean, if u want. No? 's all good."
LOLOLOLOLOLz.
I'm still looking for new photos to put on the site.
Well, enjoy whatever you have left of the summer!

Embarassing

Well, this is really embarrassing, but you might think it's funny:
A few days ago, I was at Mae's house and we were "sword fighting" (using really big sticks and homemade wooden shields). I was fighting her brother and I got hit in the head with his shield. Well, it made a small gash in my skin (nothing too serious) so, naturally we went inside and put some anti-biotics and a band aide on it and went back outside.
The next day, we went on a trip to Emerald Point (Wet 'n' Wild), and I got sunburt on my face. Yes, I still had the band aide on. Now I have a reverse-band aid tattoo on my forehead. :@

The Real "Minx Deadly"

When I first made up the pen name "Minx Deadly", I sort of didn't need it for a while, so I put it in a disregarded file in the back of my mind. (Scary place, that file! :)
Anyway, a few months later, I was writing a story about a girl with horribly bad luck: She was born a mix, (Half human and half Elvin), her mother was killed and her father was banished from the Realm, she grew up, avoided being killed many times, fell in love, got married and had a child.
That's not the bad luck part though, her daughter was stolen and taken across the Forbidden River (where people of that Realm couldn't cross or they would burst into flame -- so, yeah, that had to suck) and then her husband was killed during a war a whole year later -- but she didn't actually see him die, hmm...--.
So, yeah, I had to give her a name so.....Minx Deadly! XD

Just thought you should know that before I post the next quiz. :)

Drivers Ed.

Well, today I started my first drivers session of D.E. I was pretty nervous this morning, what with all the pacing, and waking up @ 5:30 am (OMG!!) , writing sentences saying "I am not a crazy person." and "I am not a nervous wreck.
I was pretty nervous at first, but I did better than I thought I would --much better.

oh, and if you're one of my friends reading this, no, I didn't kill anybody. You should be very proud, but like I said, it's the first day.

My instructor had me to stop at a BP station so he could get some coffee. When he got back in the car, he set his drink down and said, "Now, if you spill any of my coffee, you fail."
It was at that moment that the little voice in the back of my head said to me: ''That coffee looks pretty hot, you better be careful. Remember the Jo-Anne incident?"
I replied, "Oh, yes. I remember that day."
Everybody looked at me like I was crazy.

I am not a crazy person.
I am not a crazy person.
I am not a crazy person.

Perhaps I should explain the Jo-Anne incident.

At my old school, we always had a Valentines Day/Talent Show dinner. Our school's FFA chapter always sponsored it, AKA worked, set up, cooked, served, entertained, and cleaned.
It wasn't that bad, except when people wanted coffee. We had a very, very, VERY slow coffee maker. There were students standing around, tapping their feet, sighing exasperatingly, and- well, whatever people do when they're bored or impatient.
Anyway, when I finally got my ordered 3 cups of boiling hot coffee, I was about to open the kitchen door, when suddenly it swings wildly towards me, and the drinks spilled on my clean, white, OD (official dress), shirt! Did I mention the coffee was very hot??
So, yeah. The coffee burnt me, it was Jo-Anne's fault, yada, ya.

Right, back to drivers ed....
Like I said, I was pretty nervous this morning, until I took myself aside and had a little I'm-going-to-have-a-one sided-conversation-with-myself-but-I-swear-I'm-not-crazy, chat.
I said: "You're pretty nervous right?" I nodded. "And you're not really sure you want a licence or a car, huh?" I nodded again. "You like Jaquelynn's car, right?" (Jaquelynn is one of my story characters)

I replied: "I gave her my dream car."

I said: "That's right! Now wouldn't you want to drive her car if you ever got the chance?"

I smile: "Oh defiantly!!"

I say smuggly: "Too bad. If you never get over this fear, you'll never get to driver your dream car." I start to sulk. "Will you get over your fear?" I nod vigorously. "Good."


Call me crazy, but it worked! :)

~Minx

ps- I like old cars. The car pictured in the top right corner is a 1952 2 door convertible black Cadillac (my dream car).

New Photos

You may have seen the new photos by now, and you probably now know, that if there are 2 things in this life I like most it's Spam and Monty Python.
Hee-hee.

Enjoy the rest of the summer!

The Summer Crazies

I think I've got the summer-time crazies: I actually want to go back to school.
My new school really isn't a drag at all, it's just....different. It's not what I'm used to, I admit, but I'm adapting.
The really bad thing though, is that since my old school closed down, everyone is going to be so spread out this coming school year. Now, I'm not saying that I'm going to miss everyone (because very few people that went there were actually worthy of being called a true friend --not saying everyone was unworthy, keep in mind--), but then, I kind of am saying that I'm going to miss everyone because they were so familiar to me. Most of the students there had been at that school as long as I have --since K-4.
But it is a sad thing when there isn't really a decent school in the district (well other than the school I'm at right now, but space is very limited for high schoolers at the moment) and so many students are being sent off to public schools.
Now, public school may not sound like the worse thing in the world, but keep in mind that these are kids --I mean little, 11 and younger kids-- have been in a Christian school all of their life. I'm sure that's got to be a rather un-nerving experience.

But, anyway, Yes, I'm a freak for wanting to go back to school, yada yada, I'm insane, blah blah blah.

Rock on,
Minx

Let's take a Quiz! :)

Wow. I've been gone a while. I went with Mae (my best friend --the one I went to camp with) to Wet 'n' Wild for a 4-H trip. I got really, really sun burned. As well as drinking lots of water this summer, wear lots of sunscreen too, trust me. A few days ago I couldn't lift my arms above my head with out screaming.
Apart from that, not much has been going on. My mom and dad and I went to a nearby town to have lunch in the park and listen to the bagpipers practice. I love the bagpipes. I keep a chanter in my room and practice with it some times. Of course, to me it's alot harder than actually playing the real 'pipes (sort for bagpipes) because I run out of breath so easily -- I'm more of a strings musistian. But, someday you'll see me up on stage on the PBS channel. Yeeeaaaaahhhh.....probably not. LOL!!!

While I Was Gone.....

Wow, it's been a while! I've been away at Quest Camp the past week with a friend --actually, best friend. I have many a funny story to tell you. To be honest, I'm not all that sure who you is, or if anybody is actually reading this and I'm waisting my time when I could be..........washing dishes? Ih, no I think I'll stick with this.

Okay, first funny story. oh, some things you need to know first:
(1) Sponge war is kind of like dodge ball, only with water sponges. There is a big (and when I say big, I mean BIG) feild that you play in. Down the middle of the feild is a rope that marks off the two teams boundry. There is a big tub full of water that you dip the sponges in, overlapping the rope so that both teams can get to it.

(2) To play medic: if you get hit with a sponge, you're dead. (Happy thing, huh? :) But, you can be revived if your teams medic pours a bucket of water on you.

Right, so, we were playing sponge wars (medic version, of course) and I was doing pretty good at it. Better than most of the guys, in fact (yes, I LOVE to brag LOL!) . So I make my way to the water tub to get my sponges wet, when.......I get hit. :( Okay, so there's alot of people dipping in their sponges and the pulling them out really fast, so there's a bunch of standing water on the ground, and it's pretty dang muddy. So the rules are, where you get hit, you have to sit (excuse the little rhyme, I didn't mean for that to happen, but it's pretty cool though...). So, I sit in the mud.
Ten mins. have past. The medic has not gotten me back it the game. I am coverd in mud, and steaming mad. To top it all off, there's a huge storm rolling in. Now, it wouldn't be that bad, but It was coming from both sides of the lake --did I mention we were on a lake? I'll get to that next story. I go to our recreation-counsiler who was hosing people off to wait for my turn. Finally my turn came (last of course).
So, now: I'm soaked to the bone, the storm is almost here, I'm freezing, and I made the mistake of wearing a white T-shirt and getting very, very wet. I shall not explain that one any further. Okay, so I don't want to drip water all over the floor of the room, so I get my clothes and go change in the shower.
Once I had my shirt off, and I discovered that the draw-string of my shorts are in a knot, a bunch of girls come in there shouting that there's a tornado watch.

Marvelous.
I broke the draw-string, got dried off and clothes on in probably record breaking time, fueled by panic, ran to the Sanctuary with everyone else. We watched Jonah, a Veggie Tales Movie. I love Veggie Tales. :)


Second Funny story:

Okay, I was on the waterfront one day, when I discovered that I had a hidden talent: Kayaking.
So, I'm out on the water, paddling around, when this guy's kayak capsises. I paddle over there and see that he's not wearing an orange wristband (an orange wristband means that you passed the swimming test) and so I start freaking out. I yell at him to grab onto my boat; he looks at me funny and then stands up. It is then I notice that the water is only knee deep.
So yeah. That's about my week.

very cool

This is very cool: I got my own computer!!!!! :) Okay, sure right now I have to
sit with it in a little corner in the dining room. On the floor. With the mousepad on a phone book. Like a redneck...but anyway, it's awesome! I plan to put it on the desk in
my room sometime next week if everything goes well.
Oh my goodness, I have SO much going on this summer! Driver's ed, summer school
(I'm not dumb, I just got a little behind in algebra when I changed schools this year), cheerleading camp and finally camp! A real, canoe and campfire, sleeping-in-cabins,
gallons-of-bugrepelent, the first non-sports camp I have ever been to! I can't wait. The
only camps I have ever been to were: soccar, basketball, vollyball and cheerleading.
Have you ever been to camp? What was it like? What should I bring? Please comment! Thx!

It's been a while...

Okay, before I start: Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been pretty busy lately. A bunch of exciting things have happened since though.

First of all, remember that bruise I had?? It went away the very next day! I know, that may no seem like cool news to you...but, I'm like, the boo-boo princess. :) So that was pretty cool.

Second (and least fun), I almost passed out from dehydration. People, when adults tell you to drink lots off water, DO IT!!!! Actually, that happened to me about this time last year. Like this time, I was in the chicken house, and I kept telling myself that I would go to the house and lie down after I finished the flat of eggs that I was working on, but that flat kept leading to another one and just one more- until I eventually blacked out. Hee-hee, I is stubborn.

Third, Mom got a job as a pharmacy technician's assistant! Yay Mom! Hip-hip-horray!

Fourth: oh boy. The mules got out of the stable. Twice. *sigh I love Sam and Julie to death, but sometimes they get so irritable I just wanna smack their hindquarters! I tried to lead Julie, but then I realized: Julie is a follower, not a leader. So, I took the lead rope off of her, and put it on Sam. Now, Sam is as big as a Clydesdale (oddly enough his mother was a quarter horse 0_o) but he's as sweet as a rotten apple -which I have learned in the past, if you feed an equine too much of, they'll get drunk :o - . I lead Sam, he followed me and Julie followed him. Then, they got out AGAIN! And I followed the same procedure.

Then, we picked cherries, pitted cherries, bagged cherries, freezed cherries and made cherry pie. I want nothing to do with cherries for the rest of the year. >(

Oh, and I watched Million Dollar Baby. I was really good.

Stupidity = Injury

Have you ever done something SO stupid and ended up paying for it? I'm sure we all have. A few days ago, I was playing basketball with my dad, when I decided to do a few cartwheels.
Now at my house, we have this hill that's really good for sledding down when it snows (which, in the South, is not very often *sob*) and riding a bike down at high speed. So I thought, Hey! What if it's good to turn multi-cartwheels too?

Now, before we go any further, it needs to be said that earlier in the day, my mom had found a baby snake it our garden. At first I thought it was a Garter snake and had yet to convince my mom to set it back out. I was wrong. It was actually a baby copperhead. So when my dad got home from work, they found out what it was and killed it. I didn't actually see them kill it, or know where they put it, I was probably in my room listening to Metallica or battling with the radio antenna.

Okay, back to my stupidity. I tried a few cartwheels at first, but didn't go very far. For the grand finally, I went about six feet down the road before I slipped, skinned my elbow, and bruised the side of my foot.
Can you guess what I slipped it? Yes, it was the baby copperhead.

Minx Deadly

"Minx Deadly?" you say. "I've never heard of anything like before. What is it?"
Well, to put it simply, Minx Deadly isn't a what so much as a who. It is simply my pen name --well, type name, in this case I guess--. It's just some random (pretty good for random if I do say so myself :) ) name I came up with so my......associate-enemies don't find me. My real name is Meg though, but you can call me Minx or Meg, whichever you prefer.

Minx is actually a term for a --and I quote from the dictionary :)-- a saucy girl.

And Deadly means- well, if you don't already know what 'deadly' means, you should probably be doing something a little more constructive in the educational department than reading this blog. No offense of course.

Well that's all for now I guess, I would love to tell you a bit more about me, but I'm an enigma: I like to drop hints about myself as I go along, so if you are interested in finding more about me, keep reading!!! :)

ps.- I love critical (constructive but not rude) comments! So feel free to leave a comment, Thx!
