Gob smacked

Today at stagecoach during our 10 minute break, there were a few strange sights...

We (my friends and I) were sitting the opposite side of a table from a couple of boys that were fighting with eachother. We didn't really notice until one of then had gathered a little army together. Of 5 year old blonde girls with attitude! He obviously wanted the chair so got 4 girls and they started pushing him and pulling him and pushing the chair and screaming in there high pitched voices in his face. Then the boy (Ellliot) finally pushed him sideways off the chair. The little army all piled onto the chair so they could save it for their master. (They were seriously only Ben's size) They screeched for their king to take his throne, he did. Then they put on tootoos and danced for him. To far? Well anyway, it wasn't something you see everyday! It was like humans trying to overthrow a giant!!!

THEN!!! When the bell went, I was walking towards the doorway and I saw the leader of the blonde midgets. she said 'Hi Erica!' Now this took me completely by surprise because a) we had never talked to eachother and b) because there were at least 50 other people in the stagcoach. How did she know my name?? I mean I knew her name, I know about everyone's name from registration but surely her memory is considerably smaller then mine. Anyway, I said 'Hi' back then she said 'How did I know your name?' You got me there!

I don't have a title for this one :-)

Hey! This post is just for Sara because I don't know her e-mail address :-) When we spent the night at your house during the summer, Katherine knocked off my ring from the table during the night and she couldn't find it next morning. Have you seen it? It's silver with blue dot things on it. Thankyouuuuuuu!!!

Oops, I forgot!

A few things have popped into my head the last few days, and they are things which I had the intention of blogging about...

The Cricket: This was back when I was in Texas, but I was just about watch 6th sense with Angela. I can't remember exactly, but some how I was watching all of the 'safe parts' while she was on the computer. Then in the corner of my eye, I saw this big black splodge moving towards me. I don't think I screamed, but I definetly took a big breath in shock. (Now remember I live in England and I don't see these very often) It was a gigantic black cricket!!! I thought it was a mutant locust or something (even though I didn't know what a locust looked like). Now, somehow Angela ended up sleeping on the couch, I looked at her hoping that my powers would wake her up... it didn't. So it was up to me to get it out. By then it had noticed I was watching it so it wasn't moving anymore. But I just hate it when I have to catch a really really big bug and they are not moving because if they DO move, you have a heart attack and then you are even more intimidated of the thing that smaller than your palm.

Anyway, I started going for it. And of course it started spazing out and jumping towards the door. I got it in a cup and was trying to pick it up and throw it out, but all I had was some flimsy paper and a cup and I couldn't keep the paper sealed over the cup and it got out. I started jumping around like a loon trying to get it again. Try to picture it. It got some cover and I was about ready to pounce on it and it started moving again and went into a cubby hole. I think Angela was awake then and I told her the story and she was going to get it. Except it dissapeared!! Eventually we found it after moving the couch and looking wide eyed and cheesey for a while.

We finally got it in the bathroom and she threw a cubby-hole-box on it. Jay took care of it a fewe hours later after he came home from work (and this is another part of the story I can't quite remember) He might have been carrying it around by its legs and dropped it while Ben was looking up at the strange thing that all the big girls were arfraid of. I think Jay dropped it and Ben squished it. All that keeping it alive for nothing! :-) I would have done the same. Or have run away screaming. It remained on the floor for several days after that. It was like a butterfly museum that you can put on the walls, except it was on the floor, it was a cricket and it was all mangled instead of displayed beutifully. It freaked me out a few times after that because it looked alive! And it was right by the door, so every time you walked in the door you would see a big black thing that looked alive. eww.

Number 2: What is the world coming to? Ok, we were in the Trafford Centre, which is like the ONLY mall in he UK and we were eating dinner 'outside' technically it wasn't outside, it was just outside the restaurant but inside the building, does that make sense? Anyway, we were happily eating along (well I wasn't because mine was a kids meal and this one wasn't particularly nice) and I saw probably an 11 year old girl in jeans and a T-shirt with another little friend. She was walking really fast and she reached into her pants and pulled out the sides of her underwear ( it might have been a thong but i would have been strings she would have pulled out right?). There were 2 guys in red suits and walkie-talkie's following her. She was just looking for trouble. And what she did was so, GROTESQUE! ahhh. Andd she was only about 11!

Number 3: Extension from GO-APE! (Mormon camping and going ape) I forgot to put that we were all excited to go on the thing called Tarzan. You swung on the rope and landed on a big net, like a spider web, then you had to crawl your way back up to the platform. Now, this one was absolutely HUGE! Anyway, I was the first one and I was looking for the rope. I could see this string that looked like what would hold the rope up and it was in the paddlocked thing and it was open. So I thought 'That doesn't look very safe' and so I plugged it in and changed one number. I bet your all thinking as your reading this 'Well that was pure genious (in a sarcastic way)' It turns out that was the rope and when I tried to undo it again, it wouldn't work. Ooooops.

The Creepy English Government

Today, I gonna blog about how creepy the government is. It's going to be very short, but it is just crazy how the government here tries to get people to do things around here!!

There is about 4 different TV commercials.

One: Getting your tax papers or renewing them or whatever and sending them back in. 'You could get more money than you should, and the longer you don't send it in, the more money you have to pay back' in a dark, low creepy voice. While a happy, smiling, young couple are jumping around all happy and excited because they need the money and stuff like that. Then the voice says 'You can't escape the computer, send it back before it's too late' Then it is written 'You can't escape the computer'

Two: It's night time and dark and a camera is following a car home. So it's giving the effect that the person in the car is being watched. The same voice was saying the same sorts of things about car insurance and 'The computer knows who hasn't done it' blah blah yak yak computer this computer that.

Three: Same exact hing as 2 ecxept it was a motor cycle.

Four: Then there was another one, can't remember what it was about. But it was going on about all that no escaping from the computer buisness.

Then! on ALL the garbage cans in northwich, a grotesque picture of a rat and a message saying 'the more you drop, the closer they get' I mean I get they that they want people to not litter, but they do it in such a mean way.

I should probly do my hw now.
