And guess what - we're still here!

It's been a whole year of blogging, and it's just the first. Starting at our first post until this one...

"{we'd} like to welcome you to join us for a random filled adventure"

How true that is now.

So to all of you out there - reading this blog - thanks! It's been fun and we are so glad that we have been able to share "LOL" times and to joke around (and through cybor space no less - who would'a thought?).

Love ya all (in a non-romantical way of course ;).

Stay Random!


PS
Oh yes - and you all blink at least 3-4 times when reading this. Just thought I'd share the Randomness around some - keep at it! =)

*fan girl scream* Boyz in the Sink!!!!!

Okay, what would we do without Veggie Tale Silly Songs?
How did our parents grow up with out them?
Maybe that's why they give me the weird look whenever I suddenly break into a Silly song, along with dance steps. I don't know!

On of my favorites is I don't have a belly button. Come on, how great are they?


Now Belly Button is a great song...but my all time favorite is...
PIZZA ANGEL!!!


What would I be with out Silly Songs? How else would I be able to walk up to some one and say, "Hi, I'm awkward!"
♪Veggie Tales!♫

Here are the lyrics for both songs, enjoy the rest of your week(I will not be posting until next week)!

♪Mr. Lunt: Baby I know your eyes see right through my disguise
Boyz: (Larry, Jimmy, Junior): And no one can deny
Mr. Lunt: Baby that I'm the one whose love is no surprise
Boyz: And he can't tell you no lie
Mr. Lunt: But there's a secret I've been hidin' I can't keep it no more
Boyz: there's this thing about himself he's never told you before
Lunt: Baby!
Chorus:
Boyz: He needs to tell you something
Mr. Lunt: I don't got a bellybutton
Oh I need to tell you something
Boyz: Have you figure it out
He don't got a bellybutton
Boyz: Bellybutton no, oh no no
Mr. Lunt: Baby please don't squeal, just tell me how you feel
Boyz: Cause his love is for real
Mr. Lunt: And if you went away, my heart would never heal
Boyz: So to you he appeals
Mr. Lunt: there's something missing in my middle and it's hard to ignore
Boyz: there's this thing about himself he's never told you before
Lunt: Baby!
Chorus
Khalil: Bellybutton!
Boyz: Uh, uh
Khalil: Bellybutton!
Boyz: Uh, uh
Khalil: You say your bellybuttons missing, there's no reason for alarm
Its a common thing for gourds, it wont do you any harm
Youre technically a fruit and with that much being said; Your umbilical equivocal is up there on your head!You could opt for a prosthetic but of course you'd have to know
It'd be covered by your shirt, but not your HMO
Khalil: Bellybutton!
Boyz: Uh, uh
Khalil: Bellybutton
Boyz: Uh, uh
Mr. Lunt: a stylish something absent from my midriffs decor
Boyz: there's this thing about himself he's never told you before
Lunt: Baby!
Boyz: He need to tell you something
Mr. Lunt: I don't got a belly button
Oh I need to tell you something
Boyz: Have you figure it out
He don't got a belly button
Boyz: Belly button no, oh no no
Lunt and Boyz: No belly button!

♫Larry: Got the munchies on the fateful night.
Around 8 o'clock. So I phoned in for a pizza for delivery
But I had a feeling something wasn't right' cause I waited for hours... no pizza

I set the table with a paper plate how would I know that it'd be late
it's taken so long, where could it be?
had a 30 minute guarantee

(chorus)
Pizza Angel please come to me
tomato sauce and cheese so gooey
Pizza Angel I’m on my knees
you're my number one pie from Sicily

Did it get lost? Did they just forget?
Should I have ordered on the internet
Ready for dinner Now I’m not so sure
I think my soda's room temperature

(chorus)

And don't forget to add my favorite anchovies!
(peas: yeah yeah yeah continue)
I was concerned for my delivery
eight little pieces of heaven for me
Can't stop thinkin'
It will make me smile
when I taste my first Chicago style
Then my heart stopped
when I heard the door

I open the door in expectation
but it was the saddest sight I ever saw
I could still smell the sweet aroma of Deep- dish goodness
But the box.
Was empty
(delivery Jimmy)
The house number was broken so I couldn't find you
I was gettin' kinda hungry
so I... ate your pizza
Sorry about that you don't need to tip me or anything
(sing)(chorus with peas echoing)
you'll live forever in my memories
(chorus with peas echoing)
I will miss you for eternity
Narrator: this has been silly songs with Larry tune in next time to hear Larry sing
Larry: I will never forget you, Pizza Angel


Yes, I am a weird kid.
And Proud of it!!

Are you a fan of Veggie Tales songs?
Do you find yourself singing them at random moments?
Share a story. They are welcomed here and no one will laugh at you-we're all the same!

NaNoWriMo

6 days into it(I started late) and I am surprised with the 14,560 words and counting. =)

(WARNING: I will be rambling in this post. There may be no real meaning in it's contexts)

But today...was different then the others. I had no idea's of how to go on with the chapter...headache and sleepy eyes and body didn't help either. So I ditched the keyboard (where I was just staring at the screen) and went out into the nippy cold November air. Most of the trees have dropped their colorful leaves while a few stranglers still hang on for the sweeping wind to knock them off their life grip and send them trialling to the ground.
It wasn't cold enough for me to worry about a heavy coat(or shoes for that matter, but that's just me). I graped the ol' sander and got to work on my book self. I sanded it...and some more. Until finally I applied the stain. It will take a few days to actually dry but I can't wait to see it. My hands were at work while my mind idled and thought of really...nothing. x)
I thought of the poem I wrote atop our church's swing set(in my cape and with my trusty comp book), thinking I should share it with all of you faithful readers.

Autumn’s Manners
Leaves are falling
Things are dying
Colors are rising
And the sun is set.
Winds are rushing
And leaping around
Autumn has arrived,
Summer has died.

Red noses and ruddy cheeks
Warm scarves in colors bright.
Cider and smoke,
Their essences combine,
Season the air with spice.

The sky is pale,
And the sun is withdrawn.
The moon is vivid,
And the air is snappish.
The colors are vibrant,
And the harvest is in at last.

The fairy leaves rejoices,
And the worms dig deeper,
The blue birds sing out,
And the squirrels’ flee around,
All as prior to before.

It doesn't flow all that well but I don't really mind, its one of my first poems by me.

Back to the NaNo writing,
So after I finished the bookshelf, I strolled about. Idea's started attacking me for my story of Shayla and Weylin.

So if you are having troubles, or just sick of sitting in front of a computer. Do something with your hands! Knit, carve, sketch, climb a tree, play with someone or something(preferable something smaller then you so they don't ask you any questions), or your favorite, no-brainier pass time! (That was not meant as something bad)

So I'm off with a comp book, cloak on, (shoes on, but don't tell anybody!) and preparing for a walk(run) through the frosty woods. Farewell! Write well! Relax.

NaNo WriMo plus more!

Who would have known that I would join the National Novel Writing Month!
I didn't.
I have always loved to read-which gives me the urge to make stories that others can read and enjoy like I have enjoyed other books.

I am doing the NaNo (you can find me by my nickname "Libby Lo"); I hope I finish my story-but it will not be the end of the world if I don't.

( I don't want that^ to happen!)

Yep...or at least I'm told.

Also, you may have (or not) noticed that there are 2 playlists now. The gray one is still the Random Jot Downs one but the green one on the top is mine (mine, mine, MINE!). They are not on auto start. Anyone is welcome to listen to the green one, which I have on there for me to listen while I am writing on the computer.

I like this one^

I'm the dude with the lame purple shirt.

Maid Marian Has Arrived...Or Rather Rowena!

OK, I just can't pretend to be Marian (I'm just nothing like her!)...So I now dub myself Rowena, Marian's handmaiden. Who has no love but her fury creatures, her bow and dagger.
Here I am, in my just made Elven moltedgreen cloak, traveling through Sherwood forest.

My bow is always at my side, I could never leave my camp site with out it (Yes that's blood. Gosh Oph, you Dirk is sharp and no I don't have a arrow nocked, Keilah wouldn't let me point it at her *pout*)
Rowena in the meadow hidden within Sherwood( Some one had just said, "Lib, look dramatic! Like Legoles!" My response...
So then I do the classic, "Yeah right, I'll act like mister..." *in thick, but low and deep English* "The horses are string...night is falling...trouble is near." hehehe

"Lib, OK stop! "
"But, but look yonder! A giant bird has fallen prey to another giant bird..." *Blank look* "What are the odds?" ... "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"

*****
This one is of Rowena with her bow at night, she has just fallen upon the sheriffes and his men's camp site and is wondering whether to continue in and atack or move off to warn Robin.

Rowena, hearing footsteps approach, raises her dagger in the time of dander.

So this is my costume(or rather one of them). I am wearing a brown peasant style dress, black leggings(which you can't see as well as the felt boots) with a long sleeve green shirt and sage green cloak I made for that shoot. My hair is half up, blown thoroughly by the wind(very windy day) and I am wearing my leaf earrings.
