"Friends are like penguins. If you throw polar bears at them, they die."

"Friends are like penguins. If you throw polar bears at them, they die."
Funniest thing I've heard all day. Rivalled only by- ""IT'S THE CIIIIIIRCLEE, THE CIRCLE OF LIFE!" Nan, please, put the cat down." xD
So, to compliment my funniest quote, here are some pictures of penguins and polar bears. I hope you enjoy them ( I know you will).





Keep Smiling! xx

M&Ms

As you can (hopefully) see, I have downloaded a couple of new fonts, the most awesomererest of which is the M&Ms one. I spent a LOT of time editing the colours, I did them all painstakingly by hand. That is, until I realised that if you paint a computer screen, the colours do not transfer onto the things on the screen. So, after a lot of crying and scrubbing, scrubbing and crying, I edited the colours digitally. It still took AAAAGES though.
My M&Ms are Awesome!
I didn't know the colours of M&Ms off by heart, so, me being of the awesome coolness variety that I am, I toodled off to the official M&M website to see what colours they used on the website, and guessed the colours from there. How accurate was I? I don't know why I'm even asking, nobody ever comments on my posts... oh well.
As long as somebody sees the awesomeness of the new font, I will be happy.
Another font I have downloaded is now the title of my blog, the black and white one with the pencil smudges. Do you like it? Do ya? Do ya? DO YA? (I'm a total Finding Nemo loser).
I think it's pretty. But that's just my opinion. I'd ask what yours was, but it would be too awkward when you just sat there staring at me through the screen, not answering.
So, as you are still staring at me with a blank face, I'll assume you have no opinion. Well, that's fine. Mine's better anyway.
SO THERE! NYAA! wow, I'm childish.
Pffft.
Keep Smiling!

Oh My Dear Sweet Pumpkin Seeds! Look at Her Spine!

First of all, if you didn't read the title in a southern American (like an Okie (from Oklahoma)) accent, you read it wrong, go back and do it again. If you did, then congratulations, your brain works on the same wavelength as mine (unless that is your actual accent anyway) and you are officially awesome! Hooray!

I have been told many times, and particularly recently (hence me writing this) that my spine is very sticky- outy. Now, I understand that, and I accept it, but it's not generally appreciated when someone says-
"Lizzie, bend forward, let me look. Eww, that's gross! It's all knobbly! Let me feel it. *feels spine* Oh, that's so creepy!"
Especially when there's multiple people crowding around you, trying to get a better view of the infamous "weird sticky out spine."
Personally, I don't think it's that bad. But obviously, I know nothing. I can't even see my spine, so they must be right. I'm going to have to spend the rest of my days hiding behind high- backed tops and never show my spine to the world.
Except, I'll show you. Because I'm nice that way.                                                   

It's not that bad is it? By the way, this picture wasn't taken to show off my amazingly freakish spine, but my tan lines.Well, to the best of my knowledge it is... maybe my friend actually took it to show me just how sticky outy it really is, whilst pretending it was because I had tan lines. I mean, what's more noticeable in the photo? Well, I guess my spine, because you were already looking for that. But anyway, the point is, it's not that bad.
But I could just have been having a 'good spine day' that day. I guess I'll never know...

It doesn't matter, because I'm going to face the world (or turn my back to it, in this case) and be proud of the weird line of nobbles running down my back. In fact, I think I'm going to get somebody to draw faces on each individual vertebrae, so they can be free to be individuals and not feel like such freaks all the time. It may, however, make me more of a freak, but I am willing to make that sacrifice for my super special spine. I LOVE YOU VERTEBRA!

Love you guys, and remember, if you ever see someone with a weird spine, think of me and smile, because you should always
Keep Smiling! :)
