64 ostriches

Went to Knowledge Bowl meet today. I was on a team with H, some preppy girl who is nice but preppy and a bitch sometimes, and a guy. We did well, although preppy girl always buzzed in too early and sometimes never bothered to consult with the team before answering. For instance: some question about accusing the CIA of lying to us, what government something or another said it in 2009. The other teams didn't get it, but it came 'round to us and I turned to C. to say, nancy pelosi? at the same time she gave our official answer as : Sarah Palin. Grrr. It was Nancy Pelosi. I got a few- a Mark Twain one (born and died on Haley's Comet), on Jackson Pollack, Bloody Mary, Typhoid Mary. There were no questions on Beatles. If there were, I would have pwned. Just sayin'.
Before the meet started, we were all sitting around talking and asking each other trivia questions. One of the boys asked "who was the boy in the Sixth Sense and Titanic movie?" and we all couldn't remember till C. called her dad and he told her it 'started with an h and a j and o..' and me and another girl were like..'haley...joel..halyjoelOSMENT" and like SCREAMED IT and this was like the main room where all the teams were. Everyone was looking at us. So we decided our go-to answer would be Haley Joel Osment, and at various times when he didn't have an answer: "Is it Haley Joel Osment?"
On the typhoid Mary question, which was something like, wherever Mary so-and-so went, this disease follows...another team had rung in and was like, "uh, syphillis?" and uh, no, but it was very funny and later on, when we didn't have an answer, we said "syphillis?"
Another one was a math one about something if you had 20 horses and ostriches, and x plus y equals something how many of each do you have? a team was like, uh, 7 horses...and 64 ostriches. So that was our go-to answer again.

My foot is weirdly swollen. I dunno, I got home and did some internet things and then I passed out on my bed till like 8- and I woke up and my foot is hurty and swollen. I am a napasauras. I love napping. Dude, I just made that word up? and Firefox is like, mehhh. I was so friggin' tired. I'm also knitting a hat- one of those neat button hats with the...uh...Noro yarn that I got. Since i have nothing else t do with it, lol.
I don't want to go to Government tomorrow because I missed the review day today since of the meet and stuff and erghh. I am prolly gonna fail. But I'm also not gonna be at school on thursday- another early morning, I'm going with ETS up to...a College Fair in Spokane. I keep forgetting what I'm typing, that's what's with the ... all the places. Anyway. Yeahso. College Fair. The college I wanna go to isn't there I think, so maybe I'll bunk around and talk to some folks.

I think..I'm gonna knit but it's boring.

I cannot beat Solitaire on my ipod. I tryandItryandItry (ohlord I TRY but i can't GET NO satisfaction, i can't get nooo saatisfaaactioonn no, lol the stones :D) but I cannot beat the damned machine. Oh I finished my ipod came thing I was knitting. It is gorgoeus. And the button is a little robot button. If I think about it I will take a picture and put it up..and everything else I've knit lately, hnn..
