List of things that make me crazy

List of thing that make me CRAZY, I sleep in a different place every night. One night I will sleep on the floor, because I like it, and because there are a lot of people all over the world that do not get to sleep in beds. The next night I will sleep on my bed, because the floor makes my back hurt a little and I also like to sleep in a bed. Some nights I will sleep downstairs, and I am not going to explain that one. And some nights, I sleep outside, because stars are very, very beautiful. I talk to myself. I took this test that shows I am an auditory learner, and so this kind of makes sense. I am always thinking abut something or other and I usually voice my thoughts. But if we are doing are homework in pre algebra , it is NEVER quiet, because in order for me to properly think about what I am doing, I HAVE TO say it aloud, just under my breath of course, but still, and the rest of my pre algebra class is not exactly a quiet class either. I SOMETIMES make death threats, at least I used to before I took a pledge against violence. Violence should go away! I am not really sure how long that pledge is going to last, some people say that I am the most violent person they have ever met, though those people must not know very many other people, because I am not THAT violent. I lose my train of thought easily. You could see the above number,3 for an example, or you could read the rest of this number about how I lose my train of thought VERY easily, and sometime I might start talking about potatoes, I really like potatoes, especially those flaky types that come in boxes that you have to make, those are really good, and then there's just baked potatoes, those are just plain yummy, but for some reason, when you ask for a fully loaded baked potato, they put crumbly red things on it, I guess those are supposed to be bacon bits, but bacon bits taste a lot better than the stuff they put on your baked potato. Those crumbly red things are really nasty, they remind me if mushrooms, I hate mushrooms, and Lima beans, and pudding, and anything that is like really spicy which reminds me if this one time where I chugged a thing of salsa, but there was a bandage in it and I didn't know and one of my friends got it on tape and...you see what I mean? I can get really, REALLY, REALLY hyper, this is a must have if you are crazy, like me, I mean uncrazy people just do not get hyper. I always carry sugar in my purse, which I guess is another reason that I am crazy, because I keep sugar and salt and pepper in my purse.....but back to the subject, I always have sugar on hand to make me hyper, cause when you're hyper, you just can not be sad. I like emus, there really awesome, though almost no one seems to know what exactly an emu is, and I always tell them it is like an ostrich but not, because emus are WAY awesomer than just plain old ostriches, and if a person doesn't know what an ostrich is I just sigh and give up. Because if you don't know what a plain old ostrich is, you are definitely NOT worthy to know what an emu is, they are just that awesome. I'm a vegetarian and an environmentalist, which is just because I want to be healthy (the vegetarian thing, not the environmentalist thing). I am an environmentalist because I really do think us humans, being stupid, which we usually are, have really messed up this planet. I mean the polar bears are dying people, you should really actually listen to some of the commercials instead of putting the tv on mute and channel flipping, it drives me CRAZY when people do that, but anyway if you actually did listen to the commercials you might hear, from coke, about the polar bears dying. That is really sad, polar bears are totally awesome ( but not as awesome as narwhals belugas or emus). I tend to repeat my self, again and agin and again and again and again and again and (okay self I think they get the point now you can stop repeating yourself-but I like repeating my self, and again and again and again-STOP- fine) did I mention that I talk to my self? I have a very large vocabulary, this is why when some mean person is being mean to me, like mean people usually are being mean to you, I can say please doff your attritional little vexatious self from my completely awe inspiring self. Which I am not going to translate, if you want to know what those words mean, go look them up in the dictionary yourself I really think that I should only have nine reasons not ten, because ten is just over used, and poor nine is like never used, and when I imagine ten, he is a VERY old man, and nine is like, only nineteen. Because nine is really not used enough. I am wondering I should just delete this reason so nine can feel better...wow I am REALLY crazy, I care about NUMBER'S feelings!!!!! That is absolutely crazy!!!!!! So, if you did not already think I am crazy, I really hope this list convinced you of just how awesomely crazy I am.

Coconut ice

I know I haven't posted in a REALLY long time, and I'm sorry for that, those of you who follow my blog. Well, I have a recipe for coconut ice, which is a little strange, because it's NOT actually ice, it's like candy that's cold, and solid. Anyway, here's what you need to make it: 3 cups icing or confection sugar 1/2 cup milk 25 grams butter or margarine -(I recommend butter, it's much better for you, and besides it tastes better, also 25 grams is 1.6666666666667 tablespoons,thought you might want to know that) 1/2 tsp salt 3/4 cups grated coconut Food coloring (optional) Combine sugar, salt, butter/margarine, and milk in a saucepan over medium heat till boiling, and taking on a candy-like quality. To test if there is a candy-like quality, when the mixture is bubbling, take a spoonful, and drop it into a bowl of cold water. If it holds its shape, and you can pick up the ball, it's ready. Take off of heat and add coconut, stir briefly to combine. Pour mixture into 2 bowls, allow to cool for 2.5 minutes. Stir both bowls and add food coloring if you want. Put mixture into trays and smooth down. Cool in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. When I used this recipe, I halved it, and the resulting lump of candy was a little bigger than my fist. It turned out pretty well though. I hope you enjoy your coconut ice! SQUOOSHLE for now, the ever present one man team behind Quarunkl

So, my first ever blog post was about edible playdough, and I promised I would follow up eventually with more recipes...well I have finally done it!!!! This blog post is about peanut butter playdough! Here is the recipe I used: 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup honey, 1 cup flour. The recipe I was using called for powdered sugar instead of flour, but I didn't have any powdered sugar, and I thought it would be too sweet. This recipe is perfect, creamy sweet and good to play with. SQUOOSHLE, p.s. it's not just me this time, my friend charis, helped me!!!!!!

Sooooooo.......... Poetry is what I'm dong today, (it's also what I learned in English today) so...poetrydefinition, poetry he art of rhythmical composition, written or spoken, for exciting pleasure by beautiful, imaginitive, or elevated thoughts. Poetry can rhyme, or it can, well, not rhyme. If it does rhyme there is something called a rhyme scheme that poets use to ven out their rhymes. Different types of poems are: couplets, sonnets, diamonte, haiku, and limericks, there is always just the regular old free form poem too. Here is on of my poems: Dark red, the rose sits, Thorny stem lies in wait In wait of the day it will defend its bloom, Fragile dark red bloom The day will come when dark red bloom, be plucked and taken Regardless of the thorny valiant stalk Death will come without her stem Lovers, stem and bloom, Doomed to die without each other SQUOOSHLE, me, the creator and so far only sustainer of the totally awesome completely random blog, quarunkle
I have not written a post for a long time, and frankly I have had TOOOOOO much homework to do anything. and I can't really write a blog post write now, so consider this a waste to read. if you have stopped reading I wouldn't blame you, after all this blog post is not really anything but me going on about how this post is about nothing, which sounds like a paradox... I really should strongly urge you to STOP reading this, RIGHT NOW. Are you still reading this? sheesh, I thought I told you to stop reading this. o.k. if your still reading this, congratulations, now you get to find out...drumroll, please.....OK, I'll admit it I'm out of Ideas, got any ideas, comment. now, pretend you can see a random person boing (that would be me) I have kept your attention, at least if your still reading this, even though I have discouraged you now 4 times.
