Nothing. Nothing is loading because my mind is just blank today. I can't think of anything to do or say which is really weird for me because my mind runs like a hundred miles per minute, but right now, there's just nothing. I blame the gummies from last night. I knew they tasted funny, but I ate them anyway. This is just my payment for it. Or something like that. I dunno.

Two of the Biggest Human Mistakes That Changed History!

1. In June 1944, Field Marshall Erwin Rommel was order by Adolf Hitler to defend the coast of France, but he decided to take the weekend off to attend his wife's birthday party rather than follow orders because he believed that the recent bad weather would delay any invasion from enemy troops. Ironically, Allied troops invaded the coast of France on his wife's birthday (June 6, 1944) and managed to capture all five beaches under the field marshal's command. Had he been there to lead the troops, the war would have gone very differently. This incident helped lead to the eventual Nazi defeat by ruining their image as an unstoppable fighting force.

2. Towards the end of World War II, the Allied Nations came up with the Potsdam Declaration which demanded Japan's immediate surrender. The premier of Japan at the time, Kantaro Suzuki, sent the Allies a response using the Japanese word "Mokusatsu" which can translate into different things. It was intended to mean that the Japanese were contemplating their request, but the translator took it to mean they were ignoring their demands. Needless to say, had the translator interpreted it differently, Hiroshima probably would not have been bombed ten days later.

P.S. There are other major mistakes, but I think these were the best (and I'm too lazy to type all of it up). It just goes to show how stupid people can be sometimes.

- Delanna

P.S. None of the animes on this list where in any particular order. Well, except for number one which literally has the best openings of all time. Literally.

P.P.S. I know some of the song titles and/or bands look like they may have been misspelled or incorrectly typed, but I can assure you that they are accurate. 

P.P.P.S. I need to add a sixteenth opening to my list. I almost totally forgot one of my all time favorites: Bungou Stray Dogs. It's a must have on this list. I can't believe I forgot it, but here it is:

Bonus: Bungou Stray Dogs

Opening Song: Trash Candy

Performed by: Granrodeo

A Very Annoyed Caterpillar

Since I'm probably not going to be home around Halloween, I decided to buy Pandy an early Halloween costume. It was super hard to chose, but I finally decided on a caterpillar costume. I had a feeling she would look cute in it, and boy, was I right! She is so adorable! But, she totally hates it. She was wearing this annoyed expression during the entire time I was taking pictures of her. I felt kinda bad about it, but she looks soooooo cute!!!

Isn't my baby just the cutest thing ever?! I just love her little costume. Too bad I'm gonna wind up missing Halloween with her though. It would have been so much fun!

Pumbaa Supporters

I see some of the coolest things at Petsmart for some random reason. I went there today because I forgot to buy something the last time I went, so I was kinda depressed about having to make another trip over there. While I was getting in my car, I saw this car next to me and couldn't resist taking a picture because who doesn't like Pumbaa, am I right? It made me feel a lot better about having to go to Petsmart again.

An Interesting Fact About Vermont (Because I'm Bored)

Could you imagine the 49 states of America? Whelp, it almost happened because before Vermont became a state, they originally wanted to join Quebec, but Quebec DENIED them which lead Vermont to join the US. Why would anyone deny Vermont of all states? It's such a nice state. Especially during this time of year. Or so I've heard. I bet Quebec is regretting the decision still to this day. I know I would if I had made such a stupid mistake.

I Have to Pick Just One?!

Today, I was asked to pick my all time favorite anime character, and I was only allowed to pick one. I was like impossible. I can't just pick one. It killed me inside. I still can't pick. It is literally impossible. So, in honor of that person (mostly just to tease her), I am listing my current top five favorite anime characters in no particular order (if I did anymore than five we would be here for a super long time).

1. Kugelmugel (Hetalia)

2. Osamu Dazai (Bungou Stray Dogs)

3. Junko Enoshima (Danganronpa)

4. Hanzo Urushihara (The Devil is a Part-Timer!)

5. Akame (Akame ga Kill)

This is literally all based on what I've been watching lately. I have like a ton more that I want to share, but honestly, I don't feel like it. You should just ask me in person if you really want to know. Not like anyone will take me up on that offer.

When You See a Ghostbusters Car in Real Life

I was running errands today, and while I was getting back into my car after a very disappointing trip to PetSmart, I saw some super crazy Ghostbusters fans. Not that I can really judge since I'm a big fan myself, but it was pretty ridiculous. Ridiculously awesome! So not everyone owns a hearse that they can drive. So what? These people made do with a pretty epic jeep.

I have mad appreciation for these people. Thank you so much for making my not so great day great again. Seriously, I was laughing all the way home. It was great.

- Delanna

Suicidal Detectives Are the Best

Yes, I know this sounds kinda weird, but it's 100% true. Suicidal detectives are the best. By far. Regular detectives just can't measure up. You see, the reason I say this is because lately I've been obsessed with Bungou Stray Dogs. One of the main characters is suicidal and is literally the only reason why I watch the anime (actually, that's untrue because there are other reasons). Osamu Dazai is simply amazing. He's like a waaaaay better detective than Sherlock Holmes. I decided to add some clips of Dazai to this post just to show you how amazing he is and to brighten your day with a laugh.

Isn't Dazai amazing?! Seriously, how could you not love the guy? He's hilarious. 

- Delanna

P.S. I keep calling him a detective, but the main detective of the show isn't Dazai because technically speaking, he really isn't a detective even though he's pretty good a solving cases and is a member of the Armed Detective Agency.

It's actually this guy, Ranpo Edogawa, who is pretty much the anime version of Sherlock Holmes (at least in my opinion). He's like my second favorite character in the series even though they don't focus on him that much (which is sad).

P.P.S. I totally needed an excuse to add these pictures. Sorry, but they are cool. So enjoy them. Bask in their awesomeness.

I'm Part of the 10% of the Human Population That Can Do This

Did you know that only 10% of the human population can touch their tongue to their nose and/or chin? Well, if you didn't, now you know. It's pretty cool. And, guess what's even cooler than that! I can touch my tongue to both. I truly am a special child. Yay me? Is this something I should be proud of or is that creepy?

- Delanna

Battle Scars

Do ever battle your sibling to the death? With a pen? No? Whelp, you're weird. My sister and I do it literally the time. No, we're not actually fighting fighting. We're just having fun and passing the time. Yes, I know we're weird, but don't all siblings do weird stuff like this to pass the time? We do it so often now that we've both become masters of our own arts. I hate to brag, but I would say I'm like a level seven pen fighting master. Seriously. Haha. We just finished a "battle" not to long ago, so now we're covered in battle scars. Which is literally just a bunch of pen marks. Promise. There was no blood. This time...

- Delanna

P.S. In case you were wondering, I've never once caused Delaney to bleed while doing this. I swear. Delaney, on the other hand, is a completely different story. She's pretty violent even when we're not doing anything, so she gets too pumped up during stuff like this. Last time, she caused me to gush blood for like ten minutes. It was kind of cool, but then it wasn't because blood makes me sick. Especially when it's my own. Though overall, I don't mind when I get hurt as long as she's happy.

That Awkward Moment When Some Guy Decides to Pay With Two Dollar Bills

So, I probably should have mentioned this in my earlier post, but I kinda forgot about it (totally can't believe that I almost forget considering how weird it was). Anyway, on the way to Houma, we stopped to get food at a certain fast food joint (if I said what it was, I would never be able to live this down, so I'm not gonna mention the name and just leave it to your imagination). The guy in front of us was taking a super long time. Probably because he was trying to pay for his food in two dollar bills. The lady behind the counter was hilarious. She had never seen a two dollar bill before (I am guessing based off her reaction) and kept asking people if they were real. In order to move the line along, my dad wound up paying for the guy's food in exchange for the two dollar bills, so now I have a small collection of two dollar bills. Yay me.

- Delanna

I Belong to One Crazy Family...

Today, I went down to Houma to visit my family members which was absolutely torturous. Mostly because my family is insane. They asked awkward questions, made me do awkward things, and tried to force me to stop being vegetarian. All fun stuff. Actually, no, it wasn't fun at all. My dad managed to embarrass me like seventeen times. Just kill me now.

- Delanna

Running Errands Is the Worst

I hate running errands, but my mom makes me do it anyway because she doesn't like to drive. But, then again, I also hate driving (so it's completely unfair). Especially in hot weather because my car becomes a death trap with its burning hot, fake leather seats. I don't think food is worth the pain I go through by driving my car in hot weather... Personally, I would much rather starve...

Life Issues

It's Thursday, and I'm just super bored. I don't have a lot to say besides the fact that I am super bored. I tried watching some anime episodes, but I got bored. I tried playing my mom in chess, but I kept beating her and got bored. I tried eating, and I got bored. EVERYTHING IS BORING. I legit need school in my life. I might hate it, but, hey, at least it gives me something to do.

- Delanna

A Lucky Find

There are days (much like today) that are completely bad no matter how you look at because you made a stupid decision (that you're still debating about). I find that small things can completely change this kind of day. Like finding six dollars on the ground (which was the exact amount of change I received after buying my books). I kinda freaked out for a bit thinking I had dropped all kinds of stuff out of my wallet. Turns out it wasn't originally mine, but now it is. So, I now have twelve dollars instead of six! Yay me! My day is a lot happier now.

- Delanna

I'm Waaaaaaaaaaay Too Impulsive Sometimes

Do you ever do something so impulsive that you immediately regret it, but then after some consideration realize that what you did wasn't that bad (or at least not as bad as murdering someone)? Whelp, I do it all the time. Like today for example. I spend $94 on manga, but it was completely worth it. Actually, I'm still debating that... I mean I got a lot of different volumes from different series that I wanted, but there are other volumes that I also kinda wanted and spending $94 is a bit overkill I guess. Whatever. What's done is done, and now, I have enough manga to keep me entertained for like the next few days.

This Is Literally How I'm Feeling Right Now

........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

- Delanna

P.S. It's just one of those days, ya know? The kind of day that you just feel like lazing about and don't feeling like thinking or doing much of anything. That is literally my life today. I dunno why though. Maybe cause I'm like super bored? Also, I have like nothing exciting going on in my life right now that's blog worthy, so there's really not much to say.

I Need Followers

I need followers. Not really, but I think it would be cool. See, I added this little followers tab to my layout (not really because I just can't figure out how to get rid of it, but whatever). So, since I can't get rid of it, it looks kinda weird without any followers, so I need followers to make it look less weird. If that makes any sense. Actually none of this makes sense, so just ignore this entire post by inducing amnesia on yourself.

- Delanna

Did This Dawn On Anyone Else?

This literally never dawned on me before. Mostly because I never look at words backwards. Not only is the word thing in this picture cool, but can we just take a moment to appreciate what it's trying to tell us??? Please. It's the most beautiful thing I've heard all day. Especially with everything that's going on around us right now.

- Delanna

P.S. Is it just me or does that minion look smug? No? Just me? Meh.

My Brother Likes Making Strange Stop Motion Scenes With His Legos

Kylle makes some strange stop motion animations... He's been into it for a while now, and whenever he gets bored, he has a habit of making short videos (flooding = boredom). Since I, too, was bored, I decided to watch him for a little bit, but stop motion animation is super boring because it takes so long to set everything up and everything. After like five minutes, I left and started playing UNO with Delaney because that was much more entertaining than watching Kylle careful set stuff up. I came back several hours later when he had finally finished his little movie. He kinda made me sit and watch, and my mind was blown. This one part was the creepiest thing ever. I understood what it was supposed to be after the fact, but when I first saw, my mind saw like the dirtiest thing ever. I saw two guys that looked completely gay to me just do something completely wrong, but apparently it was just two guys bending over to pick something up... I'm going wash my mind out with soap now...

- Delanna

I'm Under House Arrest (Or So It Seems)

I feel like I'm under house arrest because I literally can't go anywhere because of all the flooding. Well, I guess technically speaking, it's not literally because I could actually go somewhere if I really felt like it since my area isn't flooded (yet), but everywhere is closed. So, there's pretty much no point and no where to go, and now, I am bored. Though, I would much rather be bored because I could be in a lot worse of a situation right now like so many other people in Louisiana. Usually, disasters that hit Louisiana affect my family a lot (like two or three trees falling on our house or rain coming inside our house), but this is one bad disaster that bypassed us completely. Never fear though because the next disaster will probably hit us twice as hard. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay...

- Delanna

P.S. Stay safe everyone, and don't do anything stupid, okay?

Waking Up Totally Confused Is the Worst

So, today, I totally woke up confused. I'm so used to waking up with my siblings long gone and at school, ya know? But, today, I woke up to my sister jumping up and down on my bed while trying to crush me (in the end, she failed cause I'm still here). I was like why are you people here, and I was then promptly informed that school for them had been cancelled. Apparently. Joy. I never appreciated those quiet days with them at school because I was always bored, but now that they're gone (temporarily thankfully), I miss them like crazy...

- Delanna

P.S. My back hurts now. I wonder why...

I Will Slap You So Hard...

I dunno why, but this picture makes me so happy. Probably because it is literally me when I get super ticked off at people. Unfortunately, I've never been able to achieve this, but that's what dreams are for, right? One day, Del... Just you wait...

- Delanna

I Need a T-Shirt That Reads "I Survived the OLOM Carpool Line"

Both my siblings have started school by now and have left me all alone at home with nothing to do. At least, that's my problem until 3:30ish when I have a new problem that arises called Mercy carpool. Mercy carpool is one of the stupidest things ever to exist on this Earth. They changed how it works this year, and now, there are cops directing people into "lines" (in reality, they can't be considered lines because they are more like squiggles or something like that) that go the wrong way. Also, the carpool line is just long in general, so I wound up getting stuck on Government Street waaaaaay pass Lobdell. Talk about a nightmare. It literally took about two hours to pick up Delaney which totally wasn't worth it because she was in a super bad mood.

Every Neighborhood Has That One Creepy Guy

I'm guessing that's true? Maybe? Well, either way, my neighborhood definitely has a creepy guy. I was taking the trash out when I saw a guying riding down my street on a bike while carrying a FREAKING HATCHET. That wasn't even the terrifying part. The most terrifying part of all was his short shorts with their fluffy pink unicorn pattern. It mentally scarred me for life because I saw things that no one should ever see. NO ONE!

9 Historical Firsts That You Probably Won't Find in Your History Text Book

1. The first straw ever made was created from real gold in 3000 B.C. The straw (also the oldest one ever found) was discovered in a 5,000 year old tomb. It was pure gold and had precious blue stones encrusted on it. The owner of the straw must have liked his straw a lot because when he was buried, he had a seal placed on his tomb showing him using his straw while drinking from a jar.

2. The first recorded gay marriage occurred in 2400 B.C. between to manicurists, Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep, who worked for an Egyptian pharaoh. The two were buried together as a married couple. Their tomb was covered in puns suggesting that they were more than just friends, and they were even buried facing each other as if about to kiss. Niankhkhnum had a wife, but her picture was purposely scratched away.

3. One of the first jokes (not about bodily functions) was written on papyrus around 1000 B.C. The joke said, "How do you entertain a bored pharaoh? You sail a boatload of young women dressed only in fishing nets down the Nile and urge the pharaoh to go catch a fish." I don't get it.

4. The first twenty-sided die was made in Ancient Egypt around 300 B.C. This twenty-sided die was carved out of rock and had Greek symbols on it that stood for different letters and numbers. While its main purpose remains unknown, it's shocking similar to the one we have today, so many think it was used for the same reasons as the one today.

5. The first vending machine dispensed Holy Water in 100 B.C. It was invented by Hero of Alexandria (an engineer who invented several innovations during his time) and used the weight of the coin to push the platform down. This caused a valve to open and allow a little Holy Water to come through. He placed these all over the country in order to allow the people a way of getting Holy Water without having to talk to the priest.

6. The first marketing pun was found in Pompeii from 79 A.D. The pun was a brand of wine called Vesuvinum. It was a portmanteau that combined the name of a nearby mountain with the Latin word vinum (which means wine).

7. The first ever selfie was also the first ever portrait. In 1839, Robert Cornelius, an amateur chemist, set up a camera in the back of his family's store. Since he didn't have the funds to find a model or the ambition to find a subject in nature, he decided to photograph himself since he was only testing the equipment. He turned the camera on, ran into the frame, and stood still for a minute while the camera took the picture. Once done, he rushed to the other side and closed the lens. When the photograph came out, he wrote that it was "the first light picture ever" even though it would become known as the first selfie ever.

8. The first child to see a plane in 1904 was also the first one to imitate one. When the Wright Brothers tested their flying machine, a family, including a young boy, caught sight of the test. When a reporter asked the boy to describe what he had witnessed, he threw his arms out and ran around while making engine noises.

9. The first message over the internet was "LOL" by pure, prophetic chance. On October 29, 1969, a group of scientists conducted the first test of ARPANET (sometimes considered to be the first time the modern Internet went online). Charley Kine, a programming student at the time, typed the first message, "LOGIN", that would be sent to a computer 645 kilometers away. After entering "L" and "O", he ran into a problem when his computer crashed. Once he rebooted it, he retyped his message without a problem, but the first three letters ever typed on the Internet became "LOL" which would dominate it for years to come.

Praise the Entergy!

I have a new found appreciation for Entergy. Seriously, I find that I sometimes take things for granted (like electricity), so I don't always think about the people who make it possible. The Entergy people who stayed up all night working on the power lines are the greatest people alive. Literally. Thanks to their hard work, I'm finally cool (ish), and I can finally get some sleep after staying up all night. I should get them all a fruit basket or something.

- Delanna

Power Outages Are the Worst

Power outages are literally the worst. Why? Because it's too hot without air conditioning, and air conditioning doesn't work without electricity. Yes, normally my house is super hot since we already don't have air conditioning due to the construction on our house, but I consider fans as a type of air conditioning. Right now, they are all just useless piles of metal. I totally warned my parents about this and told them that we should invest in battery operated fans, but nooooooo. According to them, the likelihood of the power going out is slime, and even if it did, it wouldn't be that hot. Lies. It's so hot right now that I'm literally trying to fan Pandy with a paper fan to make sure she doesn't overheat. There is no way I'm getting any sleep tonight...

Only I Can Manage to Blow Something Up in a Microwave...

I don't usually have a lot of talent, but when it comes to blowing random stuff up, I'm second to none. Literally, I amaze myself because who else would manage to blow up their dinner in a microwave after carefully following all of the instructions? At least, I think I followed the instructions. Oh well. I guess it really doesn't matter since I just finished cleaning the mother-of-all messes. Honestly, the mess I made would put Lake Karachay to shame. It was pretty surprising seeing exactly where the food wound up. The hardest part was cleaning the stuff that managed to get inside the light fixtures in the kitchen and the stuff that got under the refrigerator. See? Talent. Pure talent.

Seventeen Light Cycles Later...

Honestly, I hate freshmen and their parents. Yes, this makes no sense considering I was once a freshmen myself, but I never did half the stuff I see freshmen doing today. Seriously, I'm not even old enough to be all like, "Well, back in my day..." and all that stuff. It's ridiculous. Today was the oh-so-annoying Bear Camp that all freshmen and eight graders of CHS must attend. The band performs at this thing, so during all four of my years at high school, I was forced to attend this thing. This year, I didn't have to go since I don't attend high school anymore. Yay! But, I might as well have gone since I had to go pick up Kylle. Booooo! I live about five minutes from CHS, so I left my house about fifteen minutes early in order to make sure I was on time. I'm glad I didn't leave any later because it seems like every single freshman and eight grader parent had the same idea. The line to get to CHS was huge. My plan was to just park and wait for my dork, but the line ruined that. I wound up sitting through more than seventeen light cycles at the intersection right before CHS (I say more than because I started counting as soon as I could see the light). I was an entire hour late to picking Kylle up which put him in a bad mood. Sorry, but I tried. When I was a freshmen, my parents were never on time to getting me, so I never added to the ridiculous lines I see form at the beginning of school year.s Also, I threw my stuff in the car and got in. It didn't take me five minutes to get in a car like it did for half the freshmen I watched. It was ridiculous. What is wrong with kids these days?! If parents didn't show up early and kids didn't take so long to get in cars, no one would have to wait an entire hour long line to pick someone up. It's common sense, people.

And She Said I Couldn't Do It

This is one of those moments I get to tell my mom, "I told you so," or something like that. Ya know how the DMV gets super crowded throughout the day? And how the only good time to go is right when opens, right? Well, Kylle (who apparently passed his driving sessions with flying colors despite the fact that he took out a couple of garbage cans and nearly got into three different wrecks) decided to go get his learner's permit which obviously involves going to the DMV (and is obviously a terrible idea because of how horrifying his driving skills are). I didn't want to go (mostly because I'm lazy and hate waking up in the morning but also because I have very bad memories of the place), so my mom left me at home after literally waking me up at six and was like at least stay awake until we get back in case something happens. She totally didn't think I could do it and even went so far as to make a wager with me involving books (that's how confident she was that I would fall back to sleep). Whelp, the joke was totally on her because there was no way that I was letting the opportunity of getting free books go away (seriously, I need a new job because I'm super tired of running out of money). It took a lot of effort, but fifteen episodes of various animes later, I was still awake when they came back at 12:36. I was so dead that I fell back to sleep as soon as my mom saw that I was still awake, but whatever. I'm now the proud owner of four new volumes of manga (like I really need anymore since I ran out of book room eons ago). Bwahahahaha. Sometimes, it pays to stay awake. Apparently. I wouldn't really know. I seriously hate mornings. And, I will never do this again. Unless I get more free books out of it. Lol. :)

Real Life Superheros Caught Saving People

Yes, real life heroes exist. In a world that seems to be filled with never ending hatred, violence, and death, it can hard to believe that a ray of hope like that can actually exist, but it's 100% true that heroes exist. They are ordinary people who do amazing things for others like feeding and caring for the homeless or preventing crime before it happens without a need for fame, glory, or any of those other superficial things that society seems to be obsessed with nowadays. While not all heroes wear spandex and a cape, these heroes do. Yes, you heard me correctly. The Real Life Super Hero Project, or the RLSH, is a legit thing. It consists of average people who do above average things for others. All while wearing epic costumes. It's pretty amazing. It's literally a bridge between the fantastic world of comic books and the mundane reality that we all live in. Seriously, I totally want to join, but I doubt I could pull of a super hero costume. So, I think I will stick to helping people in the shadows without a fancy costume. But, in all seriousness, here are ten real life super heroes who protect different cities around the world.

Honestly, it's almost unbelievable that this kind of subculture exists which makes it all the more cooler once you realize that it is real. The fact that there are people out there doing this on a daily basis makes the world seem like a way better place. Thank God for real life heroes!

10 Strange Things You Didn't Know About Planet Earth

I don't know about you guys, but I love Earth. Especially since it's like our home and enables us to live and stuff. I would kinda hope you people feel the same since, ya know, you're breathing air that was produced on this very planet. For something everyone loves so much (or should at least care about a little), there's a whole lot of stuff we know nothing about. But, never fear! I found this super cool video with ten things you probably didn't know about Earth! How cool is that?! You get to learn a little more about your home planet! Yay!

Strange Things That Only Happen in America

I found this video the other day, and it totally blew my bloody mind. I was born and raised in America, and I have never heard of some of these things. And, even the ones I have heard of are super weird (well, at least in my opinion).

Seriously, anyone else's mind blown? Since when has cheese in an aerosol can been popular? I've never seen anyone eat it before. Let alone buy it or even use it. Has anyone else gone to a store like Walmart recently and purchased a gun while buying their other necessities? I'm pretty sure the Walmart by my house (or any Walmart I've ever been to) doesn't sell guns. I think. I could be completely wrong apparently. I suppose I understand the pickles thing because I use pickles on like everything (even when I probably shouldn't), and I guess the oversize food portions are a thing because I always seem get more than what I can eat whenever I go to a restaurant. Also, I apparently need to pay more attention to the flags and college gear thing because I've never realized that there were so many American flags hanging up or so many people wearing college logos. I thought that was weird. I guess the one thing that I really see as completely normal (at least in my life) is the fact that everyone I know either jokes about suing someone or actually sues someone. I have no idea why people are so willing to sue over stupid things like hot coffee (duh, of course it's gonna be hot) or failing to get a dream life like the one that shows in a certain ad (seriously, do I ever need to comment on how stupid this one was?). IT MAKES NO SENSE. Actually, I kinda want to go sue someone over something stupid now. Is it the American in me that's talking? Who knows?

P.S. DO NOT watch the one about Japan. It is literally mentally scarring. Sorry to any Japanese person who is reading this, but your strange things are waaaaay stranger than our strange things. If it makes you feel better, I do think a lot of the stuff in your culture is super cool. Like bentos. I really really want a bento. They look good. Also, thank you for anime and manga. Without Japan, I would be a very dead person with no life whatsoever (if you even consider what I currently have to be a life).

Not a Good Start...

Today, Kylle began "driving" for the first time. I put driving in quotations because I don't think what he was doing could be considered driving. Before he was even out of the neighborhood, he managed to almost take out my car (which really ticked me off) and apparently side-swiped four garbage cans. His instructor also informed us of the stop sign he nearly unearthed and the mirror he almost damaged. I'm super glad that I decided to stay home during the duration of his lesson... Honestly, I feel sorry for anyone who had the misfortune to be driving around him.

P.S. Kylle, I'm sorry, but you totally know it's true. As you once told me during my driving lessons, Drivers' Ed means driver's dead. You're so dead, boy.
