Sam's Shining Moment

As most Tuesdays do, this one started out at the very ordinary level. I slept in, showered and then prepared to meet the rather mundane yet at the same time exciting activity known as the Registry Office. Then the day got interesting.

I met Sam outside at the front of the school around 10:45 and hopped into the car ready to go. (If there's one thing you should know about Sam, it's this: she is a terribly horrible driver.) Once you know that, then you can appreciate the amount of courage that I find when forced to climbed into a vehicle with her at the wheel.

We made a quick stop to pick up Michelle and then made our way over to the court house to prepare for a riveting search of lands. The conversation in the car was normal, just three friends hanging out.

Then the day got awesome.

We drove along just minding our own business', Sam's car rattling like it does from its old age. She attempted to stop her old car at a yellow light and ended up running a red from lack of efficiently working brakes.

However, Sam's shining moment was when she didn't stop at a stop sign and got pulled over.

We're just driving down the road towards the court house, oh look, there's Timmies ahead. Sam doesn't stop at a four-way stop sign and the most lucky police officer in the city happens to be stopped at said four-way stop sign. He pulls us over, and Sam gets all flustered looking for her insurance and what not. Not only did he comment on her inability to realize that "yes, that was a stop sign," he also kindly points out that she doesn't have a license plate on the front of her vehicle. Good work Sam.

This morning makes this the greatest day of the whole week.

First, I'd just like to point out that it's snowing and has been since about 9:30 this morning.

Until about two hours ago I thought the snow was acting rather drunk. It seemed as if it didn't know whether it really wanted to fall from the sky or not.

There was an abundance of it, however, it just kept floating around in the air like it had no purpose.

I looked out the window recently and discovered that it's gathered some sense and is now showing it's presence on the ground.

 

Secondly, the following is an excerpt from 642 Things to Write About

 

Pick a small object to be given one day to your great-grandchild.

Write a letter to that child explaining why you have chosen this object.

 

Dear Excellently Named Great-Grandchild:

I'm leaving you my Limited Edition Batman Trilogy Box set. You share the same enthusiasm and excitement of Batman as I do. Although you are still young I hope you will appreciate all that these three movies can teach you. If you haven't already, I hope you will one day find your Robin as I have.

With love,

Great Oma

Tis Tuesday

As I grow older I find myself often referring back to the good ol times when we used to sit around on a lazy Saturday afternoon and watch Disney movies like we had no lives. Those days just may have been the greatest days ever. If it weren't for Disney movies where would be get all those inspiring, catchy songs to sing at ones own enjoyment no matter the time of day or location of oneself. How would we have spent our days? Where would our lives be now?
Not but two hours ago on my rather fine free Tuesday, I relived those childhood days by watching Pocahontas. If you haven't ever watched it, now would be the time...We can wait.




Just kidding, we won't wait. But you really should watch it at some point in your life.
Although historically inaccurate at some points, it has a very meaningful lesson. I won't go into detail about said lesson, I think you should all take the time to watch the movie and figure out what they're really trying to tell you on your own.
When you finish with Pocahontas and you realize that there are so many more Disney movies that your childhood was not wasted on, then it is time to be true to yourself and watch them. Preferably today or tomorrow, but no later.

The following is an excerpt from 642 Things to Write About.

What a character holding a blue object is thinking right now

"But is it really edible? I mean, I know they say blue cheese is really good to eat but is it safe? Just sit for a second and think about this. Blue cheese is moldy cheese. You eat blue cheese, you're eating mold."

I'd prefer not to have it back.

The following is an excerpt from 642 Things to Write About.


Something you had that was stolen.

I don't tell people this becuase I'm ashamed and embarassed of who I was.
I used to be fat, like really fat. Then one day someone stole all my fat. I've never been the same since.

The beginning of an era

Dear Nicole:
You will be pleased to know that although I find myself in a bit of a writers block, I have discovered a rather fine way to continue to have a post even when I don't have a topic.
I was recently greeted with the very kind opportunity of being able to explore Chapters with the freedom of collecting a large amount of books. One of these books is titled "642 Things to Write About". As is clearly stated in the title, it is indeed 642 things to write about. Wonderful topics which I find myself happily searching my creative mind to write about.
The great thing about said book is that I always have something written in it, I am always able to pass along these little thoughts to you.
As much as I greatly appreciate your little nudges on Facebook, I may have put a rather comforting end to them.
Yours very truly, t-bear

A MucH NeedeD StudY BreaK

It is an unsafe world on the Internet, let me tell ya.
I'm scrolling through pinterest (when I should be studying) where I keep seeing pictures from the television show Game of Thrones. For those of you who aren't already aware of the fact, you should know that I am currently on page 378 of the book the tv show is based on.
This is ridiculous! I can't even go out into my backyard without someone spoiling something for me!
Books are that sacred ground on which we leave our minds to when reality is just too much. If it weren't for books how would we pass the time? I mean for those of us who aren't in college, constantly doing homework, studying and getting addicted to tv shows.
When you travel, you bring a book.
When you go for a car ride, you bring a book.
When you aren't busy participating in life, you read a book!
Are any of you sensing a reoccurring theme here?
Another useful piece of information for you all to remember. I don't like spoilers. Even little this is going to happen, or "have you gotten to this part yet"? Well I obviously haven't gotten to that part yet, and now you just spoiled the whole book for me! I won't even read the back cover, that is just too much information. If I'm going to try out a new book then I'll read the back cover, and proceed to place that particular book on the bottom of my reading pile so I can forget what I read.
Finally, I leave you with a quote said by someone at some time or other in their life:

Don't judge a book by its movie.
 

Happy studying! this is t-bear signing off

Produtivity is happening.

It's hour six on this rainy Sunday and I feel as though I have accomplished greatness in the shallow time I've been awake.
My shortbread is baking away in the toaster oven, my title search project is closer to completion than it was yesterday, and the creative title "Chapter 9 Questions" has been placed atop the document of my next piece of homework. Oh to be young and in college.
Now I must motivate myself to complete both of the above stated assignments so that I can get along with the most exciting activity of the next two weeks: studying. Wish me luck, I'm going to need it!
I hope it's sunny where you are! this is t-bear signing off
