I am a RAT!

As of this Friday, Cody and I are riding with the Rat Patrol, a bunch of punks on crazy bikes riding through the city terrorizing and amusing the citizenry. It was some of the most fun I've ever had in my LIFE!! We started out in Logan Square, then rode around aimlessly for three hours. Dumpsters were raided, fireballs were blown, and bikes were crashed in a grand gladitorial battle of doom. I can't wait to go to a build day. That's where Rats meet at the chop shop and work on their bikes. I really want to learn to ride one of the tall bikes. It's also cool to have a way to exercise that isn't boring. YAY!

Halloween Madness

Well, that most joyous time of year is upon us. Halloween is fast approaching, and Dad and I spent the day getting in the spirit. We just got back from a spiffy trick shop nearby. Mom and Dad are going as Lizzie Borden and her father, respectively. I have two costumes this year. First is my party costume, a pirate; and the second is "Night of the Living Prom Queen" for Halloween night. Dad and I just bought the gore components of our costumes. I think that this will be a good year for costumes. Now I just have to make a pirate skirt and various accesories. I already have most of my Prom queen costume, i just need gauze and fake eyelashes. I'll pot Halloween pictures when the holiday rolls around. YAY!! I really hope to traumatize some small children this year, that would really make my Halloween.

My Entry in the First Annual Little Miss Sunshine Online Pageant


I'm not totally sure where this picture is from, I think that it was my Sunday school class. I'm something like 9 or 10 here, again, not really sure (alas, I didn't date stuff at that time). Note the lovely homemade frame, staples and all.

You can check out the rest of the results of the Little Miss Sunshine Online Pageant here.
