How Dandelions Bloom

Have you ever wondered what a dandelion looks like when it blooms? It's actually one of the coolest things I've ever seen, so I decided to post this gif in order for you to enjoy it as well.

How Ice Cream Sandwiches Are Made

Apparently, this is how ice cream sandwiches are made. Pretty cool, right? Now, just imagine me at the end of the conveyor belt with my mouth wide-open ending them as they come. And, getting completely sick as a result of that (curse thee, lactose intolerance).

Apparently, I Have a Kinda-Sorta-Not-So-Bad Southern Accent

I never thought about the way I talk before. Honestly, if you were to ask me right now, I would tell you I don't really have an accent, but according to my roommate, I have a kinda-sorta-not-so-bad Southern accent (and my dad has a really bad Southern accent). According to her, I hold out some of my vowels with I speak, but I don't see it. Anyone else? I don't know if I should really take her word for it though because her New York accent is super bad...

Two Hours and Two Broken Self-Checkouts Later...

You would think my friends had never seen a self-checkout before in their lives after witnessing the way they reacted to it. It kinda blew my mind. I hate dealing with people, so when I was done getting my stuff, I headed to the self-checkout and went about my business after waiting in the line for what felt like two hours. Apparently, they followed me and were baffled at how quickly I checked my stuff out (I am, of course, a seasoned veteran of the self-checkout since I hate dealing with employees). Well, Julie went after me and managed to break it after about two seconds, so one of the employees had to come over and fix it for her. Twice. Because she kept breaking it. Meanwhile, Micheal was at a different self-checkout and broke it before he even touched it, so a different employee had to go fix it for him, too. It was ridiculous, and I laughed until my sides hurt. Especially when they finished and walked away completely confused. That killed me.

That Awkward Moment When You're Catching Pokemon Instead of Unpacking...

Heheheh. I just got chewed out by my dad because I was trying to catch Pokemon in my dorm when I probably should have been packing, but it's just so distracting! There are waaaaay more Pokemon here in Savannah than there are back in Baton Rouge! It's great! I hope I catch some that I don't already have.

What to Do in Case Your Windshield Wiper Decides to Fly Off While Driving on the Interstate

DON'T PANIC! It happens to everyone. Probably. Actually, I think it just randomly happened to my dad. We were just minding our own business while driving down the interstate when my dad's windshield wiper just randomly decided to fly off while we were doing about 70 miles per hour for no reason whatsoever. It was weird, but we had a quick memorial service for it and replaced about 63 miles after the incident had occurred,

Waitresses in Alabama Are Awesome

So, on the way to Savannah, my dad and I stopped at this Cracker Barrel in Daphne, Alabama because we were literally about to die of starvation. I was messing around with Pokemon Go when our waitress noticed what I was doing and started talking with me. Apparently, we are on the same team (Team Mystic), and we share a lot of favorite animes. How cool is that?! She was pretty awesome. It's not everyday you meet a pretty epic waitress.

Moving :(

Whelp, this is it. Goodbye, Louisiana! Hello, Georgia! I'm finally moving! Goodbye suckers! Hahahaha. I kid. Well, not about the moving part. I really am moving, so I can attend Savannah College of Art and Design (and not LSU). I have to say that I'm super excited. It feels like I'm finally getting a chance to start over fresh with a clean slate in a place where no one knows me. How exciting! I hope my moving to a new state will finally allow me to let go of the past and move forward. I hope. I have a feeling it will. Also, doing nothing but art sounds amazing. I can't wait for my classes to finally begin.

P.S. It will be weird living in a state that doesn't have a Parish system. Parishes are waaaaaay cooler than counties. County sounds lamer than Parish. Sorry. :)

Packing Is Absolute Killer

I never realized how annoying packing for something is. It's so tedious. I have this nagging feeling that I'm forgetting something super important, but I guess I won't really know until much later. So, really, there's no point in worrying about it now. At least, not yet...

My Life Just Flashed Before My Eyes

Have you ever had your life flash before you eyes just before you die or something? Well, I was standing in line to purchase something at Barnes and Noble with Mark when this baby threw her pacifier at us with deadly accuracy. I kid you not when I say my life literally flashed before my eyes as the pacifier flew by my face and barely missed nailing me in the eye. It made me realize just how short and insignificant my life has been. Oh well... Babies are terrifying. So young, and yet, they are already trying to commit mass murder. What a terrifying thought. Actually, the fact that the mother just laughed it off and didn't even seem to realize that her child was trying to kill us with a pacifier of all things was even scarier...

I Don't Know How They Do It

I don't understand how professional concrete people pour concrete so beautifully. I was helping my parents pour concrete in our kitchen today, and the result was terrible. I spent a good six hours working on it, and no matter how many times I tried to smooth it out, the concrete would just get lumpy in some other area. It was horrible and was literally an OCD person's worst nightmare. This whole experience has given me a new found appreciation for the underpaid construction worker.

Mooooooooooorings

Have I ever told you how much I hate mornings? No...? Well, I hate mornings. They are literally so sunny and happy. Bleh. The birds need to go find somewhere else to be happy at. Their chirping is too annoying to hear first thing in the morning.

RANDOMNESS!!!

And now, a moment of random randomness (because I have nothing better to write about)! Yaaaaaay. I apologize in advance for what you are about to read/see. Well, not really. I would be lying to you if I said I cared. Continue at your own risk!

Right now, I'm listening to a song about french fries. Yes, you heard me correctly. There is a song about french fries. You can find it on the soundtrack Ratatouille: What's Cooking? The song is literally called "French Fries" and sung by Troy Johnson. How amazing is that? It sure makes me hungry every time I listen to it though...

How do you feel about spiders? Or bananas? If you're anything like me, you would hate them both with a burning passion, but if you don't (yet), you definitely will after watching this video. I'm not gonna spoil it for you before you watch it, but let's just say you'll never look at a banana the same way again...

Speaking of spiders, have you ever seen one that seems to explode? Well, it's disgusting. This video sure does make me glad that I don't live in Australia where everything seems to want to kill you.

And, as if you haven't already lost your appetite already... Hahaha. I KID. I KID! I promise. In a lame attempt to make everything less disgusting, here is one of my favorite anime characters who just so happens to have like the biggest eyebrows ever (Chaika from Chaika the Coffin Princess).

And, there you have it! Your dose of randomness for the day. Enjoy! Or not. Two of the random things weren't really pleasant... I think I may have scarred some people...

Thirty Days HATH September

Thirty days hath September,

April, June, and November.

All the rest have thirty-one,

Except for February alone,

Which hath but twenty-eight days clear,

And twenty-nine in each leap year.

I dunno why, but I have this stupid poem stuck in my head. It always seems to happen on the first of September which is really annoying. I remember how my third grade teacher drilled this in to my head. She kept saying we only needed to know it for a test, and then, without a doubt, we would forget it. Well, it's been almost ten years now, and I STILL HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN IT. It's plagues my very existence with its annoyingness. I literally cannot stand this poem, but I will admit it is helpful when I need to remember how many days are in each month. The only other problem I have with this whole thing is the word "hath" because my teacher used to tell us that it was "has", but then, I discovered it was actually "hath" which crushed me. I'm not sure why, but I haven't been the same since. Weird, huh?

- Delanna

P.S. I was looking at the shape the poem makes when it is centered, and it kinda reminds me of a top hat. See it? Sorry, I guess I got distracted again, but you have to admit that it's cool!
