Ice Cream Survey

Okay, here are the results of the ice cream survey, which was 'Which one of the following is your favorite kind of ice cream?' Hope you voted!

Mint chocolate chip had 5 votes/50%,
Vanilla had 3 votes/30%,
Chocolate had 2 votes/20%,
and Strawberry and Coffee both had none. Too bad for them.

The next survey...actually, this time you guys can comment and tell me what you want the survey to be. Hopefully there will be some pretty awesome ideas that I can put on my blog!

Cute Little Animals!

Hi people! I thought-actually I kind of know that maybe my blog was getting a bit boring, so here's some cute pictures of cute small animals that are cute.

     Cute chickadee!                                            Baby polar bear!

                     Bunny rabbit!

White tiger cub!

Aren't they so cute? Ok so during the next year I won't be able to post so so
much so just don't think that I'm dead or anything.

Yet Another Survey

Ok. Here are the results of the third survey on my blog. It was 'What is your favorite sport?' The options were: Soccer, Basketball, Skiing, Baseball/Softball, Football and Other. The outcome was:

Skiing, with 10 votes, or 58%,

Soccer, with 5 votes or 29%,

Other with 2 votes or 11%,

and Basketball, Baseball/Softball and Football with 0 votes. Too bad for them. They must feel so unloved.

I wonder if you can guess what the next survey will be...

Ummm... yeah, it's 'What's your favorite kind of ice cream?' Well, actually it's 'Which of the following is your favorite kind of ice cream but... Same difference.

The options are: Chocolate, Vanilla, Mint Chocolate Chip, Coffee, or Strawberry. I'm counting on you guys to make these ice creams feel loved! You don't want to hurt their feelings, do you?

Survey #2

Here are the results of the second survey on my blog, 'Which one of these random animals do you like best?'

*Drum roll, please*

Octopus, with 6 votes or 54%,

Bunny, with 2 votes or 18%,

Panda, Chickadee and Leopard, all with 1 vote or 9%,

and Tree Frog and Rhinoceros, both with no votes, or 0%, for those of you who can't quite figure out that nothing is equivalent to 0%. Too bad. So sad.

The next survey will be...

'What is your favorite sport?'

The options are:

Soccer,
Basketball,
Skiing,
Baseball/Softball,
Football,
or Other.

There are ten days that you can vote on it. Hope you do!

Quest for the Truth Part VI

Here is the sixth part of Quest for the Truth.

"Let's find something to do. It's almost been two hours." I looked at my watch. Thirty minutes to go. We could start our search now, keeping out of sight of the librarians, but that would be to risky. We could wait.

I pulled a world records book off the bottom shelf and opened to a random page. I was reading about the longest toenails ever (ew!) when I heard footsteps coming up behind me. "M-marla is that you?" I whispered timidly. I turned around to see and old woman with red glasses and gray hair staring at me. I almost breathed a sigh of relief. For a second there, before I turned around, her presence seemed ominous, as if there were a monster lurking in the shadows.

"It's getting late girls! Isn't your mother wondering where you are?" She asked in a cheery voice. I got the creepy feeling again.

"Um - wow. Time flies in a library!" I said nervously. "This book is really interesting. My cousin and I should be heading home." Anything to get away from this strange lady. Marla nodded her head in agreement.

The librarian eyed us suspiciously. "Do you girls need a ride home?"

"Oh, no thank you" said Marla. "Amy lives right down the street." True, I thought.

"All right, then. Have a nice night!" she said, but in a way that made me feel like she wanted our night to be anything but nice.

"Let's go, Marla, I said to my so-called cousin as I pulled her out the door. Once we were out of Ms. Creepy-Nosy-Librarian-Lady's range of hearing, Marla whispered to me " How do we get back in there? I'll bet that freaky librarian is watching our every move!"

Hmm..."Marla, walk around the library and open the window, just a crack. I'll do the same for another one. Meet me back here and we can pretend to walk back to my house. Then we'll hide behind a tree until we hear the librarian drive home. Let's just hope she doesn't close the windows."

Quest for the Truth Part V

Here is the fifth part of my friend A's story, Quest for the Truth.

"We could hide in the library until it closes," suggested Marla.

I agreed that would probably be the best idea, since we didn't have a crowbar. Ha ha. But now there was the problem of having my parents agree to us sleeping over at the library after it closes. As if!

Then I had a brainstorm. I had been nagging my parents to let me sleep over at my friend Anna's house for about a week. She was conveniently located right down the street, so if I could convince my parents to let me stay there for a night, we could pretend to be going there but instead head down to the library. And of course, Anna's parents would be dropping me off here the next morning. Perfect. Now all I had to do was be a little angel so I could get what I wanted. But I'm always a little angel!

An hour and a half later, after a tiring walk, we were at the library. It wouldn't close for another two hours, so we picked up some magazines and sat in a corner trying hard not to be seen. I heard people walking by, and each time, I felt nervous. Just because someone sees me, it doesn't mean that they'll know we won't leave, I reminded myself. It's okay.

All in all, though, if you have two hours to waste somewhere before finding a key that will unlock the secret to finding a missing family, a library isn't such a bad place.

After reading five issues of Grl * Frend magazine and laughing at the perfectly make-upped models, I got impatient, so I went to look for Marla. The crowd in the library was starting to diminish and I had to be ultra-careful that none of the librarians would spot me. I should go into espionage, I thought. Finally I found Marla in the tween graphic novel section. She jumped three feet in the air when she saw me (okay, maybe not quite) but then she got herself together and said "Hi Amy. What's up?"

"I'm just really bored," I told her. "Let's find something to do. It's almost been two hours." I looked at my watch. Thirty minutes to go. We could start our search now, keeping out of sight of the librarians, but that would be too risky. We could wait.

Quest for the Truth Part IV

Here is the fourth part of Quest for the Truth. Just so you know, it is really long, so this is not one of the last parts.

"Treasures in a library!", I said. "Those have got to be books!"

"Yeah", agreed Marla. "And we have to find them before morning is nigh. So I guess we have to go to a library at night to find some key."

We debated about when we should start our quest for a while. Finally Marla gave in and agreed with me that we should get a night of rest before setting off to the local library after-hours (I had no idea how we were going to get in).

"Hey Amy", said Marla. "Do you think any time passed while we were in Maynerna? I mean, when stuff like this happens in the books I read, no time passes."

"Well, I know how to check. Wait here.", I told Marla. I crept into Alex's room. Sure enough, he was still on question number three.

The next morning was a Saturday. I made myself a bagel and ate it with my parents while Marla waited in my room. When Mom and Dad were done eating, I toasted another bagel, spread cream cheese on it, and took it over to Marla.

When I came in, she was on my bed leafing through a USA Girl magazine. "Well, that took long enough!", she joked. "I was getting hungry!"

I rolled my eyes and gave her the bagel. "C'mon Marla, we need to plan how the heck we're gonna get into the library."

"We could hide in the library until it closes," suggested Marla.

I agreed that would probably be the best idea, since we didn't have a crowbar. Ha ha. But now there was the problem of having my parents agree to us sleeping over at the library after it closes. As if!
