It's a record! Well, recently.

         Leaving for Michigan in a few hours! I am ready and waiting for endless hours of blobbing, tubing, rock-climbing, Alfa-wolfing, 400 ft. ziplining, great food-ing....What more is there to vacation? And all being packed into three short days! The Kroeker Clan( Extended Edition) is paddling for the third first place canoe race trophy in a row, so wish us luck. Volleyball tournament, though lamentably bare last year without my skills, is also a big goal for the team. Oh the thrills i will have!

       I've decided to keep posting whenever i find a space of time. My Facebook life is a bit slow right now, so it shouldn't be a problem.

        Adios!

                        Last year's winning team! Reminds me of some famous painting....what could it be?

           Remember me? Me neither. So allow me to start afresh, juicing you up with an uber long entry. Okayheregoes:
 

                Um, hi! I'm some sort of Fishy. Was that how i introduced myself? I think yes. Well, we're in the third marking period at ol' State High. Basic Drawing is no more, and so is table #cool, joe shmoe,  sunny days, spring breaks and shading stumps.
      Apparently, it's spring. Well, in theory. It's debatable. If you go by some calender made years ago, yeah, it's spring alright. If you go by natural human instinct, it ain't spring yet and there are no signs of it's approach. No flowers, greening grasses, warm drizzles, amusement parks. Gosh, I'm ready for spring. I'm so ready.
       As many of you know, i dropped in on some old folks in Jolly Old England. It was indubitably awesome, and i was a model tourist through it. I don't even have an accent. In fact, i started saying, "y'all!" I mean, what the heck? who goes to england and comes back saying, "y'all"?!?! I suspect it was a desperate American instinct to cling to that which i left behind. Oh, whatever would i do without the Pennsylvania Hicks? What would any of us do? We take our pride in being 'the redneck' part of the state. I, and none of my immediate acquaintances are hicks, per se, but after a lifetime living near the 'crick' and roads like, "puddin' town," knowing people who pick deer off the road, it does rub off on you.
     Easter was yesterday! Woke up to a resplendent basket of chocolates, mashmallows and jelly bellies and i haven't seen my feet since. Went to bed as a(this is for you, LibbyK)woman of large girth. very large girth. Lets just say it, I was as dumpy as a pot-bellied elephant. and i enjoyed every second of it.
         
           Yeah, so now i'm guilty as heck, and thanks to my England trip, i'm hungry at the normal mealtimes AND english mealtimes as well. curses.

        The main reason you havent been hearing from me as of late is because of a little website known as Facebook. The term, "little" used loosely. It's fantastic! Even when none of your friends are on and you have absolutely nothing to say, you can STILL do SOMETHING! There are more applications to add, more people to befriend, more quizzes to take!(take the Fat Quiz! The Emo Quiz! Oh, the thrills i will have!) Bumper stickers to add, gardens to plant, people to trout slap!(my personal favorite) Some people call it addiction, i call it socialism. it's a grand thing.
 
       Have you ever gone online to find a playlist of Disney songs? You should, it's incredible amusing. There's nothing more satisfying than listening to "everybody wants to be a cat" and realizing you remember ever word. Then, it gets even better as you walk around the house bellowing, "Circle of Life" at the top of your lungs!! "NAAAAAANNNTSS INGONYAMA BAGITHI BABAAA!!!" there's nothing like it. In fact, take a weekend to gather with your pals and have a Disney Marathon! Watch the classics! All of 'em! Pocahontas, Beauty and the Beast, the Little Mermaid, Bambi, Aladin, Sleeping Beauty(they were watching this in the next room during Geometry today) you wont regret quoting your favorite scenes and singing your childhood themesongs...

Goodbye Teacherperson, Thegooddoctor, Natethehunter, The_Art_of_Wit, LibbyK, Gockle240 and LittleMiss

Fishy wishes you adeiu

            The time is come, fondest readers, for you to have actual, for-real-live news of the Illustrious Fish's doings, so here you go:
 
                School is whatever. I mean, it's school. School.
          I dont sleep very well...hmmm...a horrid combination of growing, stress and I Am Legend.
          Tolerable grades, a desire to exercise more(worked out at the Y tonight! Yeah! Get buff! buff fish!), apples for breakfast with hot chocolate and a need to fit in my daily devotions daily sums up me these days. But, on a happy note, i have taken an interest in the cheerful art of Chibi! Chibi is a distortion of prominent human  features in a manga-ish scheme for a humorous and aesthetically pleasing result, so here's finished works of this week:




You Seller's new years eve people may recognize Chibi Jack Sparrow from the dining room whiteboard, plus an undead monkey and a bottle of rum. Did this on..hmmm...monday, maybe? (by the way *coughWITcough* that thing on the right side of his face? That's a EYE! not a patch. Just to clear things up lest there be any confusion.)



ever turned on the stereo to find it cranked up to the top notch? Well, it's a common occurrence here in the ol' house so here's the drawing i did this evening after a similar event. Here's some chibi(in a State hoodie, no less) reaching out to turn it down....

That's pretty much it, so live good and love your scaly friends!

Fishing is murder.

Cheers!

           All Y'all,

             I just realized that we passed my third xanga birthday in november, so you can all send me xanga minis now.

       Anyways, this evening was one of great tragedy. twelve houses were thrown into the air by an unknown cause. sixteen hundred dollars was swindled from the poor and the innocent went to jail. Twice. Remarkably, it all happened to me. I gots two words for ya: Family. Monopoly. or Crazed Madness. Whichever you like. So Me, Kleinekatze, Gockle and Captain Caleb hauled out the quadruple-ductaped monopoly box( only missing about three thousand dollars!) and set out the play.

Gockle- a highly refined scottish terrier(wearing a top hat)

Kleine- a horseman frozen in a leap of fury

Captain- a tarnished automobile

Ghosty- an extremely worthy and intimidating bowler hat

Thus began the madness. Unfortunately Gock left halfway through and CaptainCaleb was left clinging desperately to his few remaining properties and scattered pennies.
    After he was gone for good, it was down to the ladies. (term used loosely.) The rest of the game went something like this:

"RENT! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! That'll be seven hundred dollars! cough up!"

"RENT! OOO! FOUR HOUSES! TOUGH BEANS!"

"Well, i hate your BIKE!"

"Just seven spaces!"

"I can't believe you missed my boardwalk!"

"Cheater!"

"Scamp!"

and the final play, Katze had the entire boardwalk side of the board and Ghosty took the leap:

"come on! just nine spaced and i'll land on Go! Come on! Just nine! or two to go on chance! Nine? Pur-lease? WHAT? EIGHT! YOU GOTTA ME KIDDING! I NEEDED NINE AND I GOT EIGHT!?!"
"That'll be two thousand dollars"
"YOU KNOW WHAT? Just TAKE THEM ALL! *throws properties across the room* Somebody up there has a sick sense of humor!"

Thus endeth the game in many tears of laughter. I'm still weak. And on top of that, Teacherperson's fam came over. i can hardly move. Oh well, happy new years eve eve!
