I (supposedly) write like Edgar Allan Poe →
I write like Poe? Well, he was sometimes a funny fellow. Now, I shall go study nosology. It’s the study of noses (“Lionizing,” anyone? :D) Another bit of text I put in gave me Margaret Atwood. Edit: it keeps telling me I write like Mr. Poe… yay?

Speaking of octopodes...
Storytimeyay! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting two wild octopodes in person.  I was poking around some tidepools in Calfornia (pokepokepoke) when a little, wiggly, sushi-quality arm came out from under a rock and poked me back. Creepiest feeling ever, being poked by an octopus.  Especially when you don’t expect it. The little (and by little, I mean...

I love rain, but...
Why can’t it hold off until next week?! I was kind of hoping to do a snow shoot in Aurora or Brookfield this weekend, but it looks like the weather will not permit such things. My homework and th SAT has already kept me from going to Wolf Park on two occasions this year (and to think, it’s only the second month of the year!) so I’m a bit bummed about this warm weather. But...

So I just found out that...
…Tumblr is the hipster capital of the interwebs. Does being a non-hipster where hipsters are the norm make one a hipster? Then what are the hipsters, if they are common? Or does that make one an accidental hipster, thus making one more hipster than those who try to be hipsters? … I have a groundhog hand puppet. He’s a hipster. He doesn’t hibernate.

Just saw Mumford and Sons
My reaction: Yay! My dad’s reaction: British rednecks! YEAH! My mom’s reaction: OMG THEY’RE SUCH DORKS! … That last bit with Bob Dylan represented my dream band: banjos, an accordian, and a cello.  All it was missing was a violin and a bagpipe. And I like how Bob Dylan was holding one mic and mumbling into another.

I can hear Muse.
The TV’s on downstairs. I’m reading about the Spanish-American War. Kind of gives me a sad. I must finish my homework quickly!

Upon closer inspection...
I just put my SAT scores through the Google calculator.  Turns out my addition was off by 100 points. On the one hand, I’m a heckuva lot happier with my score. On the other… my addition is terrible and I’m only 20 points away from a rather shiny number. OTL

SAT Scores D:
Looks like I’ll have to work more on those extracurricular activities! XD Based on the scores I find on Tumblr… I have absolutely no clue where I am.  My percentile says my score is pretty hunky-dory, but so many people seem to be unhappy with higher scores, while some are psyched about their (much) lower numbers. But, hey, it’s all capitalism.  AP, ACT, and SAT are all...

Happy birthday, Thomas Edison!
I’d thank you for improving the lightbulb and lighting my home, but I use CFLs, so I’ll just thank you for bringing electricity into people’s homes. Plus, Kurt Vonnegut claims that you stole your inventions from your dog.  I’m not sure I trust him, but you’re pretty cool either way. - My dad is trying to fly his remote-controlled helicopter.  It makes a distinct,...

Speaking of Redwall...
The animated TV series was terrible and hardly did justice to the book. Who else thinks it needs to be remade as a CG feature film? :D What if it’s animated by Animal Logic (the studio that made Happy Feet and Legend of the Guardians)?

Official Ebilkins Webcomic Page →
I’m not entirely sure how an unofficial page would come about, but here’s the official page, where you can follow the antics of Zombie Kitten, Evil Bunny, and Mad Penguin. It even has a snazzy header :)

HOLY POMERANIANS!
Two snow days in a row!  In a school district that never has snow days! It’s stopped snowing around here, so it must be the ice.  Happy snowpocalypse 2011!

Interesting stuff, this! The evolution portion makes me facepalm; it says that 41% of the adult US population believes humans and dinosaurs lived at the same time 0_o

THE SNOW.
THE SNOW IS GOING UP. Up, I tell you!  UP! It is truly, literally, not falling down, or even blowing sideways, but going in a steep, upward direction. I hope you understand the gravity of the situation.
