Some of my quotes:
"I'm going to eat cat fur whether you want me too or not!"
"Great. Go kiss a mushroom"
I actually said these. Without wanting to create a quote. :D

This happened on a recent band trip to Idaho where there was a big performance and after the performance we went to the Silverwood theme park. I went on this log flume thing with another girl, K_____.
Me: The downhill on this thing looked pretty scary.
K: If it were that bad they'd strap you in.
Me: Are you sure?
K: It can't be that bad.

K: Um.....
Person standing before a HUGE drop: 'Bye! *waves*

This is one from Patrick F. McManus's (love that guy) essay/story "Grogan's War Surplus." Here goes, but it's kind of long....
"Another time, Henry P. induced my to buy a two-man mountain tent, so called, I later discovered, because it was heavy as a mountain and took two men to set it up. The roof of the tent looked like it had been made out of dried batskin, and was impervious to everything but wind, rain, and heavy dew. A tubular air vent extended from each end of the tent, an effect which, combined with the batskin roof, gave it the appearance of a creature dropped in from outer space. It frequently gave us quite a start when we returned to camp late in the evening and glimpsed the pterodactylous wings of the roof flapping in the breeze and the vent tubes bobbing about. I remember one occasion when a brave kid named Kenny stood at a distance and threw rocks, trying to drive our tent out of camp.
The tent was designed to sleep two grown men, providing they were both Pygmies and on exceptionally good terms with each other. we managed to crouwd four of us into it, after drawing straws to see who got to have their heads by the air vents. The losers had to suck their air through the bullet holes. If a loud sound suddnely reminded us of unfinished business at home, there was always a big traffic jam at the exit. Sometimes we woule be about halfway home and still not out of the tent yet."
Here's another from the same guy, but his story/essay called "The Big Trip."
"I learned to buiild fires, using nothing more than a few sticks, a couple of newspapers, and a box and a half of kitchen matches. I studied the art of camp cooker, and soon could serve up a hearty meal of flaming bacon, charred potatoes, three-poound pancaks, and butterscotch pudding with gnat topping. AFter a longer time, I even taught myself to eat these things.

Here are some from our quote board of funny things our video teachers have said:
Mrs. Moon, our geography and world history teacher: "They [kangaroos] are born very, very young." And on redundantly saying things twice :D "I hope you have a mental picture in your mind of that" And one more "Basically, almost, practically...."
Mrs. Fagan, our American history teacher, speaking of the Civil War (or, if you live in the South, you might call it other names - I've offended Southern friends by calling it the Civil War): "Some of the North's wounds would linger forever, even for a century." And another time: "At noon o'clock..." And on immigration: "And now you're here with a bunch of Americans speaking American..."
And lastly, one of our favorites, from Senora (n with an enya) Saldivar, our Spanish 2 and 3 teacher: "I just love reflexive pronouns! I mean, they're fun, and, they're, they're verbs, and...."

On the subject of tallness......my best friend Nick's estimated full adult height is 6'5! And his dad is 6'3 I think.......Nick's already taller than my mom! But his little bro Andrew is pretty short, he's smaller than Martia and he's eleven. Martia's almost a head taller than Andrew! (note to admins: these are parts of their real names but they are known as other names. ie these are their first names but they are known by their middle names.)
