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.
Ick!!!!!!!!

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!
