Silly Things

Well, it was an interesting day to say the least. I procrastinated, saw a raccoon in my back yard, and went on a youtube related-videos expedition to match the trip made by Lewis and Clark.

About a week and a half ago, I had my birthday, and while I'd found a place to stash or use most of my birthday presents, one package from one of my best friends lay opened, but not in use, in the corner of my room. This wonderful little package, happened to be the Disney Princesses Fun Set. (Oh joy, right?) My friend obviously bought it as a joke. She didn't really expect me to play with it. Of course she didn't. I had better things to do. So like any normal, highschool aged girl, I sat down on my bedroom floor, and opened the little cannister.

After deciding that the small, purple kalidoscope was neither useful nor worthless, (I couldn't distinguish any form of solid object, but enjoyed the swirly colors,) I turned to the little yoyo. The "yoyo" I won't lie to you, was about the size and shape of one of those mini oreo things, only bright pink with a sticker of one of the disney princesses on it. I've decided that is far superior for the purpose of harassing my cat when swung on the end of the string than it is for the purpose of being a yoyo. Y'know that thing, the paddle thing with a string and a ball at the end that you try to bounce off the paddle repeatedly? Well, I definitely hate it as much as I did in third grade, whatever the thing's called. However, it does function as a pretty good ninja weapon, I concluded, since in my flailing attempts to hit it more than once, the ball collided with the little plastic top, which immediately split in two. (Well, so much for trying that one out...)

All in all, the most useful thing in the whole set? The plastic cannister it came in, which now houses my favorite pair of socks.

Goodnight everybody, anybody,
