We have just received word that Mr. Numbers brother, Mr. Texty, has taken charge of Thunderbird Productions Communications branch.
Last week the former chairman Mr. Poundkey, who replaced the beloved Mr. Numbers earlier this year, got into a horrid accent. He was still able to work but everyone was in agreement that a replacement needed to be sought. Today we have a confirmation that Mr. Texty has filled that spot.
"I'm going to try and run this branch the same way my brother did, because his methods were extremely effective and that's what this company needs." Mr. Texty said in his announcement speech earlier today. Everyone at Thunderbird productions is delighted to hear that Mr. Texty has taken charge and it is rumored that Thunderbird herself never really liked Mr. Poundkey that much anyways.
So I broke my phone. I dropped it and the screen cracked. It was still functioning, just extremely hard to read. The screen was also progressively getting worse, so I needed a new one fast.
I got my old phone, just a new version of it. It's blue instead of green, but it works the same and I'm in love.
I say farewell to my old phone's habit of butt dialing and hello to my habit of accidentally sending texts to twitter.

And That's What You Missed On...
ME!
Okay, I've been absent from the blogosphere. But I don't want you all thinking I left for Tumblr.
Because I've actually been kinda absent THERE too.
And if you pay attention to my handy little Twitter thingy, you'd see i've been missing there as well.
So if I was not on the internet (because let's face it there is no chance I was on Facebook) where in the world was I?
The short answer is, I got busy. I was on tech crew for my school's production of Sweeney Todd. That sucked up two weeks of my life essentially. Not to mention several Tuesdays before hand. I'm still working on catching up from that lack of sleep so my late night ramblings have been decidedly left out.
I'm here now though, and do I have a story?
Mmmmmrph....sort of no, sort of yes.
I have lots of interesting things that happened, but a nice story? Not really.
For instance, today I thought I was being robbed.
I had just gotten out of the shower and was all wrapped up in my towel when I heard the doorbell. I figured my dad would get it so I continued to be an extremely slow person. I assumed it was my friend Sophia, and then I realized it was almost seven and there was no way Sophia would be coming over now. Out of curiosity I left the bathroom (Still covered in my towel) and went to my room to peek through the blinds. I looked and to my great surprise, there was no one there. I heard a knock and so I panicked and ran back across the hall into the bathroom. I closed the door just in time, for the second I closed that door, someone else opened the laundry room door. They called for Rebbecca or someone, said hello a few times, before finally leaving. I listened to the car start and drive away.
When I calmed down enough, I ran back to my bedroom and got dressed. Now fully clothed I headed to the laundry room to...I don't know, look for clues I guess.
On the floor was a green reusable bag. Inside was food.
I was confused and proceeded to send a mildly panic-y text to a friend.
Later I discovered it was a friend of my neighbor's who had the wrong house.
SEE?
NOT AWESOME STORY.

And The Winner Is...
So today I set out to chase the bus again.
Well no, that's not exactly true.
You see, I had just said farewell to Sam as she got on the bus and I was talking to my other friends Erin and Katie, waiting for the bus to leave.
However, mid-sentence I was cut off by the honk of a horn. Looking up I saw the bus driver looking right at me. He pointed ahead of him.
He was making sure I was ready for the race.
And so race I did. When the bus reached the stoplight the bus driver opened the door and said quite plainly
"You win."
As the bus drove away I saw Sam staring at me out the window, shaking her head lightly.
Sorry Sam. I don't think I could stop now even if I wanted to.
Well no, that's not exactly true.

Bus Hero
So this week I've been getting in a little extra exercise.
I have been chasing my friend Sam's bus, bus 130, as it leaves school.
It started out as a joke between me and Sam. But today I think it might be something more.
On every other day I've been chasing it, someone chased it with me. Today however, I was alone.
I stood outside the bus waiting for it to leave. I keep hearing cheers and people were raising their hands which gave me the impression bus 130 was different from my old bus 22-11.* When it finally got going I walked along side it. The bus sped up and I jogged with it.
Suddenly it stopped.
I was used to this. It takes the bus awhile sometimes to pull out of the lane and onto the street.
It started again. I followed.
The bus stopped. I stopped.
The bus speeds up and I'm running to catch up as soon as I do, the bus stops again.
I look over and see the bus driver laughing. All the kids are watching me through the window. My little joke with Sam has gained some attention.
The bus speeds up for the final time and I run with it till it reaches the stoplight. Of course, the light was red so I got to stand there as a bus full of kids cheered me on and waved. A few of them even knew my name it seems because as the light turned green they called it out as they passed.
I wonder what they'll think when I do it again on Monday.
*That actually didn't surprise me. Bus 22-11 was pretty crazy. But that's another post...

Ouch
I lost it.
I figured it would happen sooner or later. I expected it would suck. I didn't expect it would suck this much.
I had to leave the Warehouse 13 roleplay. I was never on and it just wasn't fair to the others.
I guess what really adds power to the punch is that I lost my tie to the fandom. Before, there was no reason for anyone to remember little parkitcharlie. Sometimes I made a funny post, but nothing ever got much attention.
Although now that I think about it...no one minded the roleplay either. Perhaps I'll have to find another way.
Then again maybe I already have.
poorlydrawnwereherse.
Maybe if I stop screwing around with my time I can keep this one.
Time management is the name if the game.
And I am the worst player.

It happened
You know those people on the internet who you always see people asking advice from?
That was me just now.
Someone came
To me.
They told me first of all in a rather long message about how much they loved my blog, and them they asked me for advice.
I'm walking on clouds.

Call me Walmart; Shall I Compare Thee To a Root?; Book it Nikki
I feel kind of guilty about not posting. So here is three posts in one.
Sorry. I have(n't) been busy.
So let me talk to you again about PE.
I actually did end up trying to walk the other way. For a short while I had seven people following me but they eventually realized no one else was going to walk with them and turned back around.
A sheep is a sheep am I right?
I have a nickname now.
Walmart.
Yeah. They call me Walmart. Why? Because of how I play games.
I kind of forgot that these people don't already know my fool-proof method of blocking; Talking.
I don't just stand in front of someone and wave my arms, I chat with them. And my first question always is "Hey have you ever been to Walmart?"
Pair that with a couple of people forgetting what my actual name is and BAM. I'm Walmart.
Well...at least I have reasonable prices.
What else?
Oh yeah! Did I ever tell you about the poem someone wrote about me in seventh grade?
No?
Okay so in 7th grade we had a poetry unit. Sometimes we could go up to the front of the class and read what we had written to the class. Such was the case with Don.
He went up to the front of the class and said "This poem is about Nikki."
Of course everyone was instantly like "Oooooooooh" because we were 7th graders and that's what they do.
They didn't realize however that THIS would be the poem.
She's funny, she's smart, she's kind
She's Nikki
She is a ginger but she doesn't taste like one.
Shall I say WHAT?
First off, how Don was able to determine my decidedly ungingery taste is beyond me.
Even more beyond the grasps of my knowledge is why he would even put that in a poem in the first place.
But alas, it happened.
It's a pretty good story too.
Something else?
Books.
I love to read. Yep. I do.
Now I have never really liked reading assignments. The concept of being forced to read something and not being able to read as fast or slow as I'd like was not an appealing one.
But not lately.
Lately I've liked my reading assignments.
I'm going to end this post with just a bunch of books I like. It would be really cool if you...um...commented with some recommendations...

Now Entering: The Suck Zone
Yep. You guessed correctly. It's story time.
Okay, so every single day after school I walk over to my mom's work. There I sit from 3 until 5 when my mom gets off.
It's not that bad really. Sometimes I have clubs to go to like Improv Club and more often than not I have at least one person keeping me company till 3:30. The rest of the time is passed with reading or messing around on my iPod.
Today wasn't unlike any other.
I met up with my friends Sasha and Sam outside the school. We stood around in the shade and talked for a bit before heading on over the my mom's office. Once inside we sat in the lounge and ate the snacks that we had stored for us in there. It was a perfectly average picture. The only part of this that had been even remotely odd was when a lady walked by the room with two small dogs. Other than that though, it was just another day.
Par normal, Sasha left first then ten or so minutes later Sam left the building.
I took my stuff into my mom's actual work area. She shared the space with two other employees and there was a spare desk which I sat at when it came time to wait. I got on Tumblr got caught up on my dashboard and events going on within my fandoms. At about 4:30 I noticed how dark it was outside. Around this time my mom started chatting with the other people in the room.
They joked about leaving work early. There were some thunderstorm warnings headed our way and they wanted to see if they could beat the weather. The discussion was dropped and they went back to work.
Ten minutes later, the sirens went off.
Since we were siting in a room where one wall was made of windows, we all decided it would be best if we moved.
I grabbed my backpack and the four of us made our way across the hall to an office that had once been a closet. The lady in there welcomed us (and a few others in). We were informed that everyone else had gone home already. This lead to jokes about them getting swept off the road in the winds. It also lead to statements about how we should of left at 4:30.
Someone came into the office and said that we needed to go across the street to another building to seek shelter. They said that a tornado had touched down nearby.
Now it was pouring down rain outside.
And I meant pouring. It was just sheets of rain and the wind was whipping around. The sky was tinted green and lighting flashed every once in awhile.
We were clearly not going outside in that.
Instead we sat in the office thinking.
Someone eventually decided that we should probably consider a better shelter than this former closet. Going to our actual storm shelter was briefly considered but the idea was abandoned once we looked outside.
My mom said that we should go hide in one of the closets. It was a fairly good size and would be decent shelter should any twisters come our way.
However, right as we opened the door to the closet, the power went out.
And the closet wasn't exactly empty either.
As we opened the door and the power went out, the people who were already in the closet taking shelter screamed and shut the door.
About a dozen smartphones lit up and we made our way into the storage area.
The people inside were quick to welcome us into the closet. I sat on some boxes and listened at the people around me called loved ones and updated them on the situation.
Unfortunately for me, when the power went out, do did the Internet. I wasn't able to tweet about the whole ordeal which I was more upset about than the storm. Periodically someone went outside and gave us an update.
"It's real windy out there"
"Still storming."
"A tree fell down over onto the street."
After twenty minutes of sitting in the closet we determined that it was safe enough to go home.
Now, I should mention this. My mom doesn't exactingly park close to her work.
She parks close to my school to make it easier on me in the mornings.
Any other day this would have been fine.
But today it was raining cats and dogs. The walk to the car probably lasted around a minute, a minute and a half.
By the time we reached the car we were soaked. Like, soaked soaked. Like, swimming in your clothes soaked. Like, walking to your car in the pouring rain and getting splashed by passing cars soaked.
We made it to the car, however soggy, and set about going home.
Using the magic of hands free calling we got into contact with my dad. The conversation went something like this.
Mom: We just spent 20 minutes sitting in a closet!
Dad: Why?
Mom: We didn't want to go next door for shelter.
Dad: Why did you need shelter?
Me: The tornado?
Dad: There is no tornado.
Mom: They said that one touched down.
Dad: No it didn't.
Mom: The sirens went off.
Dad: Those were for high winds.
Mom: Oh
Dad: I'm going to go get a massage now.
I guess my mom's work has poor sources or something. My father was making it quite clear that THERE WAS NO TORNADO.
Feeling safer we decided to call up my sister Karen. We told her what happened, she was slightly whiny.
Before I say this next part, there is something you need to know.
We have clowns living by our neighborhood.
Daisie Mae and Spangles. They have a sign in their yard, a tiny smartcar (which we dubbed the clown car) and an RV.
Clowns in general are just creepy so imagine my surprise when I turn to see the clown RV right behind us.
I have no idea what fate was thinking.
"We already have the storm and power going out trope. They left the building so there's another...what does this horror movie need? Oh yes. Clowns."
Mom and I told Karen that the clowns were following us.
Karen said to ditch them as clowns were bad news.
Eventually we got home (clown free I might add). It seemed the fates had one last bit to throw in before leaving us be.
Pulling up into the driveway I noticed one thing.
My brother's sun roof was open.
I told him and he closed it, which for now I'm going to say was the close of my adventures today.
All in all? I'd give it 4 stars.
Okay, so every single day after school I walk over to my mom's work. There I sit from 3 until 5 when my mom gets off.
It's not that bad really. Sometimes I have clubs to go to like Improv Club and more often than not I have at least one person keeping me company till 3:30. The rest of the time is passed with reading or messing around on my iPod.
Today wasn't unlike any other.
I met up with my friends Sasha and Sam outside the school. We stood around in the shade and talked for a bit before heading on over the my mom's office. Once inside we sat in the lounge and ate the snacks that we had stored for us in there. It was a perfectly average picture. The only part of this that had been even remotely odd was when a lady walked by the room with two small dogs. Other than that though, it was just another day.
Par normal, Sasha left first then ten or so minutes later Sam left the building.
I took my stuff into my mom's actual work area. She shared the space with two other employees and there was a spare desk which I sat at when it came time to wait. I got on Tumblr got caught up on my dashboard and events going on within my fandoms. At about 4:30 I noticed how dark it was outside. Around this time my mom started chatting with the other people in the room.
They joked about leaving work early. There were some thunderstorm warnings headed our way and they wanted to see if they could beat the weather. The discussion was dropped and they went back to work.
Ten minutes later, the sirens went off.
Since we were siting in a room where one wall was made of windows, we all decided it would be best if we moved.
I grabbed my backpack and the four of us made our way across the hall to an office that had once been a closet. The lady in there welcomed us (and a few others in). We were informed that everyone else had gone home already. This lead to jokes about them getting swept off the road in the winds. It also lead to statements about how we should of left at 4:30.
Someone came into the office and said that we needed to go across the street to another building to seek shelter. They said that a tornado had touched down nearby.
Now it was pouring down rain outside.
And I meant pouring. It was just sheets of rain and the wind was whipping around. The sky was tinted green and lighting flashed every once in awhile.
We were clearly not going outside in that.
Instead we sat in the office thinking.
Someone eventually decided that we should probably consider a better shelter than this former closet. Going to our actual storm shelter was briefly considered but the idea was abandoned once we looked outside.
My mom said that we should go hide in one of the closets. It was a fairly good size and would be decent shelter should any twisters come our way.
However, right as we opened the door to the closet, the power went out.
And the closet wasn't exactly empty either.
As we opened the door and the power went out, the people who were already in the closet taking shelter screamed and shut the door.
About a dozen smartphones lit up and we made our way into the storage area.
The people inside were quick to welcome us into the closet. I sat on some boxes and listened at the people around me called loved ones and updated them on the situation.
Unfortunately for me, when the power went out, do did the Internet. I wasn't able to tweet about the whole ordeal which I was more upset about than the storm. Periodically someone went outside and gave us an update.
"It's real windy out there"
"Still storming."
"A tree fell down over onto the street."
After twenty minutes of sitting in the closet we determined that it was safe enough to go home.
Now, I should mention this. My mom doesn't exactingly park close to her work.
She parks close to my school to make it easier on me in the mornings.
Any other day this would have been fine.
But today it was raining cats and dogs. The walk to the car probably lasted around a minute, a minute and a half.
By the time we reached the car we were soaked. Like, soaked soaked. Like, swimming in your clothes soaked. Like, walking to your car in the pouring rain and getting splashed by passing cars soaked.
We made it to the car, however soggy, and set about going home.
Using the magic of hands free calling we got into contact with my dad. The conversation went something like this.
Mom: We just spent 20 minutes sitting in a closet!
Dad: Why?
Mom: We didn't want to go next door for shelter.
Dad: Why did you need shelter?
Me: The tornado?
Dad: There is no tornado.
Mom: They said that one touched down.
Dad: No it didn't.
Mom: The sirens went off.
Dad: Those were for high winds.
Mom: Oh
Dad: I'm going to go get a massage now.
I guess my mom's work has poor sources or something. My father was making it quite clear that THERE WAS NO TORNADO.
Feeling safer we decided to call up my sister Karen. We told her what happened, she was slightly whiny.
Before I say this next part, there is something you need to know.
We have clowns living by our neighborhood.
Daisie Mae and Spangles. They have a sign in their yard, a tiny smartcar (which we dubbed the clown car) and an RV.
Clowns in general are just creepy so imagine my surprise when I turn to see the clown RV right behind us.
I have no idea what fate was thinking.
"We already have the storm and power going out trope. They left the building so there's another...what does this horror movie need? Oh yes. Clowns."
Mom and I told Karen that the clowns were following us.
Karen said to ditch them as clowns were bad news.
Eventually we got home (clown free I might add). It seemed the fates had one last bit to throw in before leaving us be.
Pulling up into the driveway I noticed one thing.
My brother's sun roof was open.

The Earth Only Rises
I've got a post for you! Tragically, it's a bit scattered. SOOOOOORRRRRY.
So I am an active Tumblr user. I post. I reblog. I track tags.
One of my tracked tags just happens to be Marble Hornets.
Last night, the MH fandom was freaking out because of two anons sending messages to everyone.
One was whimsical and fun (tothedentist) and the other was ominous. (gamesgamesgames222222)
By the time I was caught up on what in the world had happened to the tag, tothedentist had revealed his identity.
The fandom had a good laugh about it, after all, it was just a big joke.
games was still posting however. And unlike the dentist, he was only targeting one person in particular.
Enter tumblr user, madeofsquirrels.
games claimed to be her protector. But his posts were vague, creepy, and down right unsettling.
I come along this. I'll admit I have a tendency to cling to these sort of things. Something interesting is happening, I want a part of it.
So I sent games a message. The blog title was theother and so I just made a few connections and BAM. games has a better nickname
theother. totheother. totheotter. otter.
Otter replied with,
i sense good things
in you
I took this as my invitation to go on.
Now the vague nature of Otter's posts reminded me of Anaz. So I decided to bring that in. No longer was I cheerful parkitcharlie, no, I decided I was the creature of the night.
My next question bordered less on the silly and more on the 'here let me creeper stalk with you'
we can be for good or evil. pick your side.
Otter replied with
why not both?
At this point, Otter closed his inbox. I figure he had been getting flooded with asks. Mostly people worrying about squirrel's safety.
I took this time to make this: http://anazthecliff.tumblr.com/
At this point I was a part of it. I made a quick post regarding the otter from anaz to show I was around. The otter opened back up his inbox and I sent him this.
you opened back up your gates. i introduced my own. the difference between us is a cliff dear otter.
The reply?
clever duckling
I joined in with the vague posts. I tagged madeofsquirrels in a few post. It's all on the blog if you decide to look.
In time, Otter and I had group of people trying to figure out our intent. One in particular, researcherteague sat down and did...well...research!
About 10 hours after it began, The Otter ended it.
They revealed themselves to be tumblr user CheckAgain.
People were surprised. Madeofsquirrels said that she was in on it, but not at first.
This 10 hour stretch has been my first real fandom experience with Marble Hornets.
I think the best part was after when I contacted madeofsquirrels and they said that Anaz freaked them out the most. Perfectly reasonable since I just tacked myself onto the joke.
We all agreed that some day in the future we should start a new slenderman series based off tumblr.

P.E.
This post jumps topic a bunch, sorry. I was just reading Life of Pi and then I took a two hour nap so I'm kind of...I don't know, out there?
When there is no one around for me to talk to, I people watch.
I eavesdrop on conversations and I watch the way people interact with one another.
It's an interesting way to pass time really. And it's how I normally spend PE.
On the first day of school I made a prediction about two of my peers. It wasn't exactly a random guess, I had been listening to them talk all hour and I had gathered enough info.
My prediction was that the girl would leave her boyfriend who lived far away to be with this guy. She'd stop doing the distance thing in favor of what was right in front of her.
Each day since then I've watched their interactions and seen if there was any truth in my prediction.
I'll admit that there has been.
But predicting the love life of a teenager isn't terribly hard, so that's not the only thing I do.
These first few weeks we have been doing our fitness tests. Pacer. Push ups. Sit ups.
In this time I got to look at motivation.
There was plenty on the boys side. What with the testosterone and the competitive attitude, there was motivation there.
I really wish I could say the same for the girls.
I'm not saying there was no motivation, but it was certainly lacking.
There was the motivation for a good grade too, but really it was more of a competition for most.
But there is one thing I've been dying to see the results of.
You see every day before class we walk laps around the gym. So far, everyday we've been walking in the same direction. One of these days, I want to get changed first and start walking the opposite way.
Will they follow the leader or continue on with what they always did?
Or perchance I'm not the first, what if I just walk the other way on purpose? Would anyone follow me then?
I would like to know.

I have a joke to tell you all...
Okay, so there is this wasp and he goes to wasp high school. Now he’s a bit of a nerd so all the other wasps make fun of him and call him names and stuff. Well one day, he just gets sick of it so he decides he’s going to transfer out of wasp school and into regular school. He gets to his new school and instantly he joins the football team. After a few weeks he’s already top of the class and he’s got loads of friends. By the end of the year he’s valedictorian and has a girlfriend and everyone loves him. Eventually he goes on to Harvard law and becomes a lawyer and he get’s married to his high school sweet heart. He becomes super successful and he and his wife even have a set of twins who they love dearly. The time comes for his 10 year wasp high school reunion. He decides to go despite only being there for a year and show all those wasps how great his life turned out. Sure enough they all apologize and he has to forgive all these people so his throat gets dry. He goes to get a drink of Sprite, because it’s his favorite drink, but the line is too long. So he goes over and tries to get a Coke, but the line is long there too. He doesn’t really like punch but he’s thirsty so he’ll take what he can get. So he goes over and what do you know?
THERE’S NO PUNCH LINE!
THERE’S NO PUNCH LINE!
The Tale of Really Serious Part 2: Awkward...
I guess It was only a matter of time before things with Really Serious got Really Awkward.
After Really had figured out I wasn't that far away and I wasn't that much older it got personal.
Really informed he was a guy named Dakota. I told him my name was Charlie.
Since I was totally not telling the truth about my name I think it's pretty safe to say I am just going to keep referring to him as Really Serious.
He then asked if we were friends.
Now, I wasn't going to say no. Though in hindsight I probably should have.
I told him I guess.
At this point I was just expecting it. It didn't really come as a shock to me when Really sent me this message
RS: i dont even know if ur cute or not
I figured what the heck? I'm as cute as a button.
Me: Trust me, I'm adorable
His reply to this and how the conversation continues cracks me up. I have no clue how he was raised but I think he watches WAY to much Secret Life of The American Teenager.
RS: u sure
Me: Positive
RS: how positive
Me: Like a proton
RS: if ur so cute then you must have a bunch of boyfriends
It's his wording that gets me. Does Really expect that I just have like five boyfriends? Is that how he thinks it works? I have no idea but it's something to think about.
Me: Not at the same time
RS: how many u have now?
How many do I have now? What kind of a question is that?
Me: Let's count them! One, two, zero.
RS: u don't have one
I decided to take this time to poke fun at him again, though he didn't seem to notice. (Most likely he was too busy trying to figure out if he had a chance...)
Me: You sure are a quick one
RS: thank u thank u very much
I didn't reply to this as I was hanging out with my friend at the time. This time he took action to get the conversation running again.
RS: i ain't got one either
Of course I knew he meant a girlfriend but the entire reason I had kept texting him was to troll a little so instead I replied.
Me: Darn. I was hoping for a sassy gay friend.
RS: seriously
RS: I meant girlfriend
Me: I know. I am messing with you
RS: yeah totally i knew that
He didn't.
Later he went on to ask me why I didn't have a boyfriend so I told him a story that had nothing to do with his question. This eventually got him to change subjects.
It didn't last forever and he brought it back to his dreams of having an older girlfriend with this text.
RS: So do i sound cool maybe later I'll send a pic
I don't really want him to, because I know exactly what will happen if he does.
I don't even post pictures of my face to people I do have a good relationship with online, so no Really, I probably won't send one to you.
He probably will end up communicating with me soon enough so keep your eyes peeled for Part 3.

The Tale of Really Serious
A few days ago I was texting my friends to see who was going to our school's dance. I wanted to text my friend Megan and there was a number in my phone called "Megan" so I just assumed that it was my friend.
I sent a text that said "YOU BE JAMIN TONIGHT??????"
They replied "who is this"
Just in case the person was Megan and she just didn't have my name in her phone, I replied.
"This is Thunderbird."
RS: "no, i'm serious who is this?"
By now I was sure it was not Megan so I decided to try and end the conversation there.
"Clearly you are not jamin tonight. Also, I do not know you." I hit send thinking they would reply saying something like. 'okay, wrong number?' to which I would reply yes and move on. Instead I got this.
"Who r u?" Persistent they were so I made a choice. If they weren't going to let it go there, I would have a little bit of fun with them.
ME: "THUNDER FREAKING BIRD! Who is this!"
RS: "Who ru"
ME: "That's quite the name. Who, it's nice to meet you."
RS: "i'm really serious"
ME: "Your name is Really? Sorry, I thought it was Who!"
At this point they stopped replying, but I wasn't quite done with them yet. In an attempt to get them back I sent this string of messages
ME: "Really? Are you mad at me? I'M SORRY I GOT YOUR NAME WRONG!"
ME: "I AM! REALLY? WHERE ARE YOU?"
ME: "I THOUGHT YOUR NAME WAS WHO BUT I KNOW BETTER NOW!"
After a few minutes I got a reply.
RS: "ur retarded"
ME: "No, I'm Thunderbird. Clearly I'm not the only one with name troubles..."
RS: "U r very very stupid."
ME: "Am I saying this in a confusing way for you? My name is Thunderbird"
RS: "u r very very very stupid."
ME: "I'm beginning to think you aren't the brightest bulb. I'm not sure how to make it any more clear, THUNDERBIRD"
They apparently decided to switch tactics at this point realizing insulting my intelligence was getting them nowhere.
RS: "Thunderbird is terrible who ever named u was retarded."
ME: "Perhaps. But your name is really so who are you to judge?"
Here comes one of the best parts...
RS: "who is not my name but u r a freak"
ME: "I know, your name is Really Serious!"
I imagine they facepalmed at that. Or perhaps they didn't even get why I said that. None the less Really changed topics.
RS: "u don't even know where i live"
ME: "No, you never told me Really. That would just be creepy if I did."
Then they asked a question that I would of said long before all of this...
RS: "how did u get my number?"
ME: "That's a really good question. I wish I knew you seem lovely." I tried to cut the conversation next text.
ME: "Well, with that in the oven I must be off. maybe I'll talk to you again sometime. Maybe not."
That would of probably worked if my stupid phone didn't accidentally call them.
I hung up instantly but it had still connected and registered as a missed call from me. They replied soon after.
RS: "why did u call freak?"
ME: "I have a touch screen phone, things happen. Is freak my new nickname? It has a nice ring to it..."
RS: "i don't know who u r" Quite a shift in gears but I was used to it by now.
ME: "You are right! I only told you my name, that tells you nothing about me at all. I like cats. Is that better? Do you want to know more?"
RS: "i don't know if u live near me or several states away..."
I don't know about you, but I found this quite deep for Really. The conversation continues on, but mostly it's just them trying to guess my age and then getting mad at me and then going back to asking who I am.
If anything new happens with Really Serious, I'll keep you posted. Look, they'll even get their own tag!

Хелло Россия! And School.
Я начинаю с этого поста с этим Русская из-за Я заметил, я получаю просмотров страниц из России. Таким образом, привет всем! Теперь я должен продолжить с английским
Извините, если мой русский не имеет смысла. Я использую Google, чтобы преобразовать это в русском языке.
Anyways, Today was the first day of school! How exciting!
Not really. It felt just like a normal day. Except I was at school.
I completed a lot of icebreakers, judged a lot of covers, and ate crappy school food.
You know the best part?
Due to the fact my school has an alternating block schedule, I GET TO DO IT ALL AGAIN TOMORROW!
Wooooot.
Sorry. The sudden overload of social interaction has caused me to lose my mind a bit today. Expect some sort of gimmicky post of me being...me later. I'll probably talk about books or my haircut. I don't know.

I Love The Internet
It's the only place in the universe where comparing Caesar and Brutus to teenage girls at "that time of the month" can result in a marriage proposal.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the internet isn't normal. And that's why it's so great

Keys
If you thought this would be a post about how I am constantly forgetting my house key, think again.
I have a story for you all, a real one that actually happened to me unlike all those stories I said yesterday.*
I have this necklace.
I wear it every single day. The only time I take it off is to shower or swim. Sometimes afterwards I'll forget to put it back on and I'll freak out a little when I notice it's gone.
Essentially, I'm really attached to the thing.
Because I am always wearing it, I've had a lot of people ask me:
What are those keys to?
Why are you wearing them?
What does it mean?
Since I'm being honest here, if you want to be literal, the keys went to a pair of toy handcuffs I had that broke. I put them on a string, which later evolved into a chain, which broke so I had to get another chain.
Now if you want to hear what I tell everyone that asks, they are the keys to my soul. Which is a rather poetic way of not answering your question. Not that that answer is wrong, just misleading.
The other two questions are much harder to just answer in a simple conversation as they require a backstory, so I would just not answer.
So let's start at the beginning. I warn you that my life is a huge web of connected events, so depending on how well you know me...this may blow your mind.
On August 27, 2010 I watched my eighth episode of Eureka. How do I know the exact date you ask? It's called Wikipedia. It is also worth mentioning I had only seen three episodes of Warehouse 13 at the time.
Anyways in the episode several people have "hallucinations" this is the cause of several gags and also emotional turmoil for some. That night I went to bed thinking of the gold mine that would come from a character seeing something that wasn't real, this was the night I created Allison and Neil. Soon they would be tagged on to Charlie Parkit, but for now they were content with bugging me. (As most of the characters I create are.)
That night I had other things on my mind too, school was rapidly approaching and for the first time in...ever, I was invested in fictional character's lives. I knew that I needed something to remind me of them.
I looked at my possibilities and eventually decided on the keys. From that moment of they would be Allison and Neil. Heck, I can even tell you which one is which.
I started wearing the necklace everyday to remind me of my shows, of my creative side. I told people they were the keys to my soul because...they kind of were. My creative one anyways.
Eleven days later I'd write the first Charlie Parkit story and low and behold the keys would show up there.
I have a story for you all, a real one that actually happened to me unlike all those stories I said yesterday.*
I have this necklace.
I wear it every single day. The only time I take it off is to shower or swim. Sometimes afterwards I'll forget to put it back on and I'll freak out a little when I notice it's gone.
Essentially, I'm really attached to the thing.
Because I am always wearing it, I've had a lot of people ask me:
What are those keys to?
Why are you wearing them?
What does it mean?
Since I'm being honest here, if you want to be literal, the keys went to a pair of toy handcuffs I had that broke. I put them on a string, which later evolved into a chain, which broke so I had to get another chain.
Now if you want to hear what I tell everyone that asks, they are the keys to my soul. Which is a rather poetic way of not answering your question. Not that that answer is wrong, just misleading.
The other two questions are much harder to just answer in a simple conversation as they require a backstory, so I would just not answer.
So let's start at the beginning. I warn you that my life is a huge web of connected events, so depending on how well you know me...this may blow your mind.
On August 27, 2010 I watched my eighth episode of Eureka. How do I know the exact date you ask? It's called Wikipedia. It is also worth mentioning I had only seen three episodes of Warehouse 13 at the time.
Anyways in the episode several people have "hallucinations" this is the cause of several gags and also emotional turmoil for some. That night I went to bed thinking of the gold mine that would come from a character seeing something that wasn't real, this was the night I created Allison and Neil. Soon they would be tagged on to Charlie Parkit, but for now they were content with bugging me. (As most of the characters I create are.)
That night I had other things on my mind too, school was rapidly approaching and for the first time in...ever, I was invested in fictional character's lives. I knew that I needed something to remind me of them.
I looked at my possibilities and eventually decided on the keys. From that moment of they would be Allison and Neil. Heck, I can even tell you which one is which.

Eleven days later I'd write the first Charlie Parkit story and low and behold the keys would show up there.
So that is that. The real story behind my keys.
Oh, also one time someone asked if they could borrow them for the weekend. That was interesting.
"You want to borrow the keys to my soul?"
"Just for the weekend!"
"No!"
Ah friends...
*The one about the frozen pizza was true actually...

Did I ever tell you...
Did I ever tell you about the time someone had the wrong number and thought I was their girlfriend?
No of course not. That was just the only way I could think of to start this and plus it's not that great of a story.
...Also it never happened. So uh...yeah. If it had happened, it would of been an excellent story and you guys would of already read all about it.
Let me try again, this time with an actual life event.
Hold up...let me think...okay. Got it.
Did I ever tell you guys about the time I had a project due and then last minute I changed groups and my new group sucked. Then after watching them bomb the project I moved back to my old group and we sung a song and were best friends. Then we went to a swim meet and one of them turned into a cat and when they turned back I hugged them?
Wait...I think that might of been a dream. A pretty awesome one too. I wish I remembered the song we sang because as I recall it was pretty darn catchy.
Okay I think I can tell a story this time...
Did I ever tell you about the time I went backpacking through Europe?
Wait...no...
Did I ever tell you about the time me and my friend Ron...I don't know anyone named Ron.
Oh come on...there has got to be a story I haven't told you, plenty of things have happened in my life!
Um...one time I baked a frozen pizza...and I was nervous, but the pizza turned out okay so...uh...
OH! I KNOW!
One time I was hanging out by my school you know? And I was kind of bored and a little lonely, plus I found this kinda deflated basketball, so I just started shooting hoops. Which was dumb, because I'm not very good. Well anyways these guys came up and they were kind of giving me a rough time about my free throws. We had a bit of a disagreement...okay it was a fight, but just a little one. Look, the point is, it freaked my mom out so she sent me to live with her sister and her sister's husband. Anyways I took a plane and then this taxi, which kind of smelled. I got to the house in the evening hours and that's pretty much how I became the Prince of Bel Air.
Well Hell Sandwich. That didn't happen to me either.
Guess I don't have a story for you tonight. Next time...
No of course not. That was just the only way I could think of to start this and plus it's not that great of a story.
...Also it never happened. So uh...yeah. If it had happened, it would of been an excellent story and you guys would of already read all about it.

Thanks For That.
Thank you Mom for taking my huge roll of bubble wrap and throwing it away. I especially liked the part where you sliced my hand open in the process with your finger nail. Close second is immediately after when I said "You drew blood" and you said "I don't see any blood." while laughing.
Okay so this is a jerk move since I do have a lot of things I could thank my Mom for without the sarcasm, but seriously. I simple "Sorry" will do.
Actual post later today...

Roll Call
Blogger tells me I get viewers. So I know there is a handful of repeat visitors in countries other than America. (That or people stumble on to my little blog everyday.) The thing is, I have no clue if you are genuinely reading these posts or not. I mean...you never let me know guys.*
So I have a request. I don't ask much of you people really, so this should be simple. If you come across this post I'd like you to comment on it, I allow posts from non-blogger users so that's not an issue.
Just say "Hi" You can tell me more if you like** but all I really want to know is if I am talking to myself or not.
So if you're reading, say "Hello"! I'd love to get to know you a little better.
Or at the least, be aware of your existence.
*That's not completely true. Some people do let me know they are here...
**Why you like my blog for instance...hint hint...wink wink

Stand Up
So I've taken a stand against trolls before, and now for some reason I've declared it my job to keep the Jori fandom in line.
Let me tell you the situation.
On Tumblr we have the lovely tag "Jori" filled with the posts of Jade and Tori and adorable.
But recently there has been a pairing brought into light on Degrassi.
Enter Jake and Tori. Or as they like to call it, Jori.
This is a problem and the fandom reached a tipping point when after several weeks of silence a para was posted between Jake and Tori by a roleplayer.
Yeah. It pretty much blew up. The next thing the roleplayer knew their inbox was flooded with anons telling them to get out of their tag because we were here first.
For a while I just sat here and watched as the tag was flooded with responses to the anons crude messages. I only stepped in when I saw the ooc post that simply said this:
I’m not responding to any more of these messages. You can’t harass me out of the Jori tag, so keep sending the anons, I could care less. If you don’t like it, scroll past. That takes a lot less effort then sending me anons showing your ignorance. In the Degrassi world, Jori is Jake and Tori. Grow up and deal with it. You don’t own a tag
Well I was quite aware that would solve nothing. Almost no one has settled and argument with "Grow up and deal with it"
And so I sent him a message, off anon, explaining both sides. He calmed down and then I made a post to see if I could stop the harassment.
All in all I must say, after I posted saying we need to calm down so did three other people.
To end this on a clichéd note, it only takes one person. All you have to do is stand up.

Thunderbird's Favorite Posts: Part 1
I wasn't kidding when I said a flashback to some of my favorite posts sounded like a good idea.
Anyways, I've made a crap ton of posts. Some quality and some...not, but as with everything I have my favorites (Except MLP: FiM. I don't know who my favorite is.)
So here we have it, my favorite posts (In order of post date)
1. So maybe...
My third post I'd ever made. It's the first time I start to suspect that perchance I am a blogger after all. I also love how many typos and grammatical errors it has, it shows I've come a long way.
I still do that stuff, just not as often now.
2. Punny
Fourth post, and also the first time I pick a topic and just write about it. Plus, fish jokes!
3. Take 3
I just think that part with the Black chicks is funny.
4. 14 is a Number After a Lucky Number
The first of many mentions of my favorite show. I also continue acting like someone is reading my blog which I find amusing...
5. I'm a Bull in a China Shop
I like this post for a couple of reasons. One, I'm continuing with my title references. And two, it reminds me I need to make that list of 100 things I wouldn't want to be doing.
6. I'm on a roll...
The post following Bull in a China Shop. I just like it. Not sure why.
7. Arrrrrrr
I really love the conversations I have on Twitter with her. She recently got back into tweeting so here's hoping we have more chats like this!
8. The Geek in The Warehouse T-Shirt
The first mention of...THAT WORD, and also of Sax Carr: The greatest person since sliced bread...(what?)
9. Sharpness
And I still have that scar. It's my favorite scar. (I only have two scars...)
10. Nosy
I mean, I typed the whole thing with my nose. It's a proud moment for me...
11. Life is...
That first saying.
12. Dam Safety
Probably one of my favorite holidays...
13. WAREHOUSE 13
One reason. FOUR HOUSE PLANTS
14. Math
Why? Because I think it shows how much a complete dork I am. I complained on my blog and verbally enough for my mom to go outside I pull the stupid plastic out of the trash.
15. In which I pretended I was Jewish for several hours and the story of my being
I like this post. But the only reason it made my favorite is because I seriously don't remember what that other thing was.
16. First Impressions Are Everything*
It's a legitimately funny post. Which is rare. Also, the fact that it was almost "First Impressions Ate Everything" makes me chuckle.
17. Lessons Learned
I liked the concept of this post enough to make another like it.
18. Contented and Sammy Keyes
I love this post! (Not really, this is just an excuse to make you go read stories on my FictionPress)
19. Pride
I say a lot of words and they actually all make sense.
20. So
That is what I do when I'm bored.
21. Light and Dabbles(ugh)
I like this post, and at the same time I hate it because of it's use of a certain word.
22. Every. Fraking. Year.
It's a rather angsty post. I need to remember that next time I'm writing...
23. Say What?
I mean...I gave it it's own PAGE.
24. #AllisonScag4Cassie
I still believe everything I said in that post. Especially the part about Megan Fox.
25. Healthy Living
I know this post doesn't seem like much to you guys probably, but this IS my favorites...I just like it because not only was I right about crashing and burning but...I totally just made a blog post in the middle of Health and that makes me laugh.
26. Idiom Idiot
Because every single word of it is true.
27. They Found Two Bears
Mostly because I never did explain it or the one before
I don't plan on doing that now either. (:
28. Reflections
It's such a sweet little sappy post.
29. 100
It does contain the idea for this post after all. Also this line "I'd like to start it by thanking all the loyal reader that may or may not exist." Loyal reader... XD
30. So...
I actually really like a crap ton of my more recent posts but anywho, this post. The face...
In more recent times I made a collage of all the unflattering photos of me.
31. Tony
Probably one of my longest posts...man I love telling that story.
32. Changing*
And I did make a fort and it was awesome.
33. Think Think Think
My blog is like Warehouse 13. It gets better as it goes.
34. Lessons Learned: The Sequel
It should come as no surprise that this is on here.
35. Fancasting
Again, I say words and they make sense.
36. BREAKING NEWS
This post is funny and sad. Because I really miss my old phone...
37. Pine Trees
I ended up being correct about Mr. Know-it-all. The questions we were asked were "What is the temperature outside?" "How many cars are outside right now?" Stupid number things. I was also lucky enough to have a good group for our Team Improv performance. We weren't playing to win but...we totally would have.
38. Stuff, Bags, and Gender Profiling
The whole part where I accidentally said mech is just like an added bonus to it all.
39. Powerpuff, Parakeets, and Parkitcharlie
Good story telling here...
40. An Entire Week of Fun Smooshed into One Post
Because it was a ton of fun that's why.
41. The title of this post is extremely long just because I am curious to see just how long I can actually make it. Also, I talk...erm rant, about sunscreen.
If only for that title...
42. Thunderbird's Favorite Posts: Part 1
Heheh...
So yeah.
That ended up being more of a "These are posts I like."
Maybe in Part 2 I'll have them battle it out till we have an even top 10 favorite posts.
Anyways I leave you with this Dora moment.
Which post is YOUR favorite? Tell me why in the comments!

I ended up being correct about Mr. Know-it-all. The questions we were asked were "What is the temperature outside?" "How many cars are outside right now?" Stupid number things. I was also lucky enough to have a good group for our Team Improv performance. We weren't playing to win but...we totally would have.
38. Stuff, Bags, and Gender Profiling
The whole part where I accidentally said mech is just like an added bonus to it all.
39. Powerpuff, Parakeets, and Parkitcharlie
Good story telling here...
40. An Entire Week of Fun Smooshed into One Post
Because it was a ton of fun that's why.
41. The title of this post is extremely long just because I am curious to see just how long I can actually make it. Also, I talk...erm rant, about sunscreen.
If only for that title...
42. Thunderbird's Favorite Posts: Part 1
Heheh...
So yeah.
That ended up being more of a "These are posts I like."
Maybe in Part 2 I'll have them battle it out till we have an even top 10 favorite posts.
Anyways I leave you with this Dora moment.
Which post is YOUR favorite? Tell me why in the comments!

Bug Boy
So I finally saw Bug Boy and Lizard-man fight it out in the Big Apple.
Or as most people call it - The Amazing Spiderman
Once again, no spoilers. Sheesh. Untwist your undies.
A few things,
1. Oh my god I love hero stories.
2. Andrew Garfield? Welcome aboard the favorite actor train.
3. Gwen Stacy, I know we've had our differences, I was just being defensive. Here I'll make it up to you, hop on the favorite character train.
4. Stan Lee you are one crazy mother hugger.
So that's that. The movie did restore my faith in Spiderman (We had a short falling out once. I thought about all the web stuff he must leave everywhere...) and it did stay true to who I believe Peter Parker is.
Who is Peter Parker? He's kind of a dork. In a good way. The kid's got a sense of humor.
Which is why, despite all the crap he's been through, he still seems to be having a bit of fun protecting New York.
Anyways I'm going to go be a bit unnecessarily acrobatic now. (Oh god...it's Karate Kid all over again...)

Before I begin, I'll need to introdu
(HA! Like that was going to happen! Allison-A)

ce some people. Allison and Neil are my little review helpers...or something.
In any case they join me on telling people about their stories on FanFiction, it like a hook you know? A reason why they might prefer my review over another.
Anyways at the end of the day, I only hope my review amuses SOMEONE.
And wouldn't you know it, it did.
Hi, you amused me. I don't know why but i really liked A and N and you. (Sounding like a total creep, i saw your comment on a jori fic i like) and i would really like if you read my story, if u ever have the time. It is Jori :)

Hi, i loved the review, I'm really glad you liked my story. The new chapter must be up this week (if my beta is on time x) ).
Hi A, Hi N, thank you guys for the review also :D

The title of this post is extremely long just because I am curious to see just how long I can actually make it. Also, I talk...erm rant, about sunscreen.
Sunscreen.
If anyone needs it, I do.
Being a redhead, I of all people know how vampires must feel every time they step into the sun. I'm talking Being Human vamps here, though I might as well just burst into flames considering how easily I burn.
Seriously. I have two color settings. Ghost and Cooked Lobster.
And Ghost is much less painful.
Anyways, I combat the lobsteryness with the wondrous thing we call sunscreen, spf 100.
Yes.
100.
I go for as high of spf as there is available.
But I must say, I really hate sunscreen. In all forms.
The lotion is horrible to lather on and ends up making me seem even MORE like a ghost because the stuff is practically impossible to rub in.
Those little sticks for your face feel like they do nothing.
And the spray...oh the spray
Smells awful and leaves you as shiny as a new car.
And then after your fun in the sun, you just feel gross.
Sunscreen. As necessary as it is, I hate it.
Sunscreen
If anyone needs it, I do.
Being a redhead, I of all people know how vampires must feel every time they step into the sun. I'm talking Being Human vamps here, though I might as well just burst into flames considering how easily I burn.
Seriously. I have two color settings. Ghost and Cooked Lobster.
And Ghost is much less painful.
Anyways, I combat the lobsteryness with the wondrous thing we call sunscreen, spf 100.
Yes.
100.
I go for as high of spf as there is available.
But I must say, I really hate sunscreen. In all forms.
The lotion is horrible to lather on and ends up making me seem even MORE like a ghost because the stuff is practically impossible to rub in.
Those little sticks for your face feel like they do nothing.
And the spray...oh the spray
Smells awful and leaves you as shiny as a new car.
And then after your fun in the sun, you just feel gross.
Sunscreen. As necessary as it is, I hate it.
