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!

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...)

Anyways I'm going to go be a bit unnecessarily acrobatic now. (Oh god...it's Karate Kid all over again...)

Tickled A Light Shade of Red...
Before I begin, I'll need to introdu
(HA! Like that was going to happen! Allison-A)
(And Neil-N)
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 :)
thanks for reading my message :)
bye
Well ain't that just a tooting trumpet.
(A what?-A)
No idea.
So I replied essentially with "Thanks!" And then instead of heading off on our separate ways I got another message back.
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
I have some curiosity about you guys. Can i ask some questions? Like, how old are you 3?
So not only did they find me amusing.
(They found us amusing too.-A)
Find US amusing, but they legitimately wanted to know more about me.
Well sheesh. I'm tickled pink.
Also...um...I guess since I posted this I should say...Feel free to send questions...
And that's a wrap!
Oh Wait! Quick side note! Season 4 of Warehouse 13 startes Monday!

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.

In which I somehow rant about a story for longer than intended
Claudia sat alone at her table. Par
usual, no one had sat next to her. Her lunch already gone so she pulled out her
history book and started to read the chapter. After the first two sentences she
slammed her head into her book. Claudia glanced up to see Trina Heatsom and her gang
of adoring followers coming her way.
“Great. I have company.” Claudia
said, slamming her head back into the textbook.
“Claudia, I saw you got sent to the
principal’s office. That’s rough. Hey, I have a pillow in my locker if you need
it next block.” She laughed and so did her followers.
“You’re hilarious.” Claudia said to
the book.
“Excuse me?" Trina asked. Claudia lifted her head out
of the American Revolution.
I've always liked this part of the story. Just the way I wrote it, something about it, I like it.
That by the way, is an excerpt from a short story I wrote that is currently being re-written. (I'm currently writing about seven billion stories)
Anyways, this excerpt isn't done. The sentence flow still needs altering, but the basic idea is complete. I just like it.
The story itself is about a werewolf, Claudia, struggling to fit in.
WAIT! Don't call the over-used-plotline police! I swear I'm not finished!
Claudia has, I feel, almost a different look on it.
All those other characters just want to be normal, but by the end of the story they either realize
1. Everyone is special, and so they're good.
or
2. It's cool being different.
But that's not the case. Claudia KNOWS that.
Yeah, everyone is special in their own way, yada yada, but for the most part, in the grand scheme of things not everyone is special.
Those struggling to fit in, feel good specials, always say that special is good.
But Claudia knows that's not true.
People hate different. People shy away from the odd. Punish those who question the status quo.
She will never be, in any sense, normal.
Here is a excerpt from a scene earlier than the other one.
Across
the hall were some short stories from the English classes. She skimmed over a
few stories. Most were corny romances or stupid action stories. One line
happened to catch her eye.
“Everyone wants to be special!” Claudia snorted.
Wrong. What she wouldn’t give to be normal, to be one of the anonymous masses.
To have people look at her and think, ‘Oh look! It’s an average teenage girl, how
boring!’ Without thinking she ripped the story off the wall.
See?
Okay maybe I'm not making sense, in my head (and by extension Claudia's) it makes sense.
And as for "It's cool being different"
I do go there a little in the story. But then Claudia is yanked back into reality.
She can't control herself.
This is no "aw man, sometimes I turn into a dog"
Claudia is a legitimate werewolf. When she turns, it takes all of her energy to even know what's happening, and a ridiculous amount of strength to stop herself.
But that's not her only issue, because as the full moon nears it starts getting harder and harder to act like she's just a girl. She's angry and tired and alone and all she really wants is to be able to walk into room and not have to think about the fastest way to get out if some animal instinct takes over.
Yeah. So that's Moonlight.

An Entire Week of Fun Smooshed into One Post
I'm back!
Currently I'm laying comfortably on my bed with my laptop stretching my legs.
I suppose it's time I reveal the 'big' secret...I was in...
COLORADO! Durango to be exact.
Boy was that an adventure and a half.
When we arrived at the cabin, home base for the week, I was assaulted with a slow-motion reunion hug by my cousins,* Anna and Julia. This I expected, since they are my favorite cousins and that's just what we do.
I checked out the place. Of course Anna, Julia and I got the basement. That could probably be considered our natural habitat as once we go downstairs we usually aren't seen again till it's time to eat. In our room downstairs we had a large wardrobe. I opened it out of curiosity and then after staring into it I did the logical thing and climbed inside.
No Narnia. But the fact that we could sit inside it would come into play later on.
Another important discovery was found inside a bin of toys.
This rug.
Okay. There were no pucks or whatever else goes with shuffleboard in the bin. So we just kinda stared at it for awhile, after some creative logic we spread it out on the floor and started dancing.
It says 'Shuffle Zone'
What else were we supposed to do???
Then we hung up a sign saying it was required by law to shuffle in the shuffle zone. The rug was placed at the bottom of the stairs and left there for the rest of the trip.
We spent the evening catching up and playing I Spy Spooky Mansion Deluxe.
And Still Pond
And then mashing the two together.**
That night we ate in.
The next day was spent talking, playing with legos, and watching Disney Movies. We also watched Barbie: Life in The Dreamhouse.
Surprisingly funny...
We ate out that night.
There were a few notable moments at dinner.
Julia's Soda Confusion.
When the guy came back to refill Julia's glass of Dr. Pepper this happened
Waiter: What do you have in here?
Julia: *looks at empty cup* Uhhhh...ice?
Waiter: Just ice?
Julia: OH! No! Dr. Pepper!
The next key moment happened instantly after. I had gotten root beer (which came in a bottle and therefore with a glass of ice to pour it in.)
Waiter: *points to glass of ice* You just have water in here?
Me: Uhhhhhh...sure
The final interesting moment happened at dessert.
I was reading the menu and instead of reading what it said, which was
Featured Flavor from The Durango Creamery
I read
Featured Flavor from The Durango Cemetery
We then ordered it like that, much too the confusion of our waiter.
The featured flavor was vanilla with bits of kit kat by the way...
The next day we attempted to scare Karen, but the family was out Jeeping so they didn't get back soon enough.
The most important part of this day though, was Marble Hornets.
We watched all 63 videos of the webseries with times ranging from 30 seconds to 15 minutes. It's an expertly done webshow. Perfect balance of mystery and horror.
We took a break around Entry 58 and went downtown.
We walked up and down whatever street it was we parked on. I bought the third book of the Mysterious Benedict Society. It started raining and we went home.
The next day we made our movie, something that we do every time we meet. We also scared Karen by jumping out of the wardrobe from earlier. We were paranoid for most of that day due to Marble Hornets. Lunch (leftovers from the second night) had accidentally been frozen into a solid block that took about half an hour to de-freeze.
Thursday was Mesa Verde day. Which was kind of cool due to the fact it was the Anasazi cliff dwellings and well...Anaz...
I got a book at the place we stopped for breakfast, Plato and a Platypus walked into a Bar.
A philosophy book, which only now I see the irony in.
Before the tour we saw a bus with the tag line "Goin' Places with Smilin' Faces" which Karen made the official phrase of Anna, Julia, and I.
We ended up taking the Balcony House tour. Highlights of the tour included a thirty foot ladder and a twelve foot tunnel.
We premiered our movie that night.
Friday was our last full day, and the one that had the most events.
We were forced on a hike up to mushroom rock.
Which in all honesty was climbing up a mountain.
When we got back I convinced Karen to watch Marble Hornets. She watched Entry #1 and then we decided to move downstairs.
Unfortunately our doors had randomly locked and it took about thirty minutes for us to get in.** We had about twenty minutes to celebrate our room access before we left and went into town again. We checked out the Toy Store and bought tiny animals and bells. While we were looking about the (overpriced) candy shop, Karen decided she needed to use the restroom.
So we headed over to the Information Center. The second we walked inside I exclaimed in excitement that the benches looked cool. While Karen took care of business we sat down and rang our bells for a little bit before we were called over by the people at the front desk.
Apparently they wanted us to be the first to draw on their new chalkboard. She handed us some sidewalk chalk and told us to draw things we loved about Durango.
Karen freaked out a bit when she finished her "seated activity"*** but calmed down once we explained why.
When we left I told Anna and Julia that they probably had decided we would be the perfect ones to start the wall from the second I shouted "LOOK AT THE BENCHES!"
We came back to home base and hung out for a bit before going back for dinner.
At dinner, my cousins and I sang ALL of Winter Wrap up, joked about our trip, and confused the heck out of yet another waiter.
Julia: Do you have root beer?
Waiter: Yes we do.
Julia: In that case I'd like a Dr. Pepper.
After dinner we headed back to the house and stayed up until 2am.
Saturday morning we packed up and left (I also had been retweeted by @radiomadison so woot!)
Finally I'm home and ready to slide back into a lifestyle of doing nothing.
I'll also be getting back to regular posts
Hopefully they won't all be this long. (:
*The cousins that built the legos that the OTHER cousins destroyed in EVERY. FREAKING. YEAR
** "A black picture frame!" "Fell on a still pond."
***The sign that hung above the toilets at our house informed us they were 'low flow' and so we might want to consider flushing twice during our seated activity to avoid clogs. It was a running joke through the week.

Social Skills? Who needs 'em!
It has occurred to me that pretty much all of my online friends began with a single comment I would of never made IRL.
Sometimes the start was awkward. Like with my dearly interwed Dunhamnator.
I left this review on her story
Sometimes the start was awkward. Like with my dearly interwed Dunhamnator.
I left this review on her story
I hate you.
Okay well that's not fair. I don't hate you. I'm pretty sure you knew what I meant though.
Amazing.
Huh...six months ago if you would of told me I would be calling Jori pairings amazing I would have laughed you out of town.
But hey, here we are. Me telling you that you just killed me inside and you...well...reading it.
So...you apologized. Wow...our first fight.
Did I just type that? Looking back it looks weird...really weird. I feel creepy now.
I'm sorry...for being creepy.
I should stop typing now.

Surprisingly she replied with quite simply
Let me love you
We've been in touch ever since.
Or maybe that's just a crazy random happenstance you say?
Alright. Tumblr. flockofsiegels.
I happen across the blog and I read "I like puns related to my name"
Well I like puns.
I left a series of messages with as many puns as I could think of for Brooke, ending with Brooke-back Mountain.
She replied to the last one saying it is the best one she's heard yet, now it's the title of her blog.
We follow each other and have regular conversations.
Still not believing me?
playingtragic: Obsessed fan message. Now we keep in touch and I help her with writer's block
anteredono: joined forces to take over the world. Now we chat*
pmaziggy: same as anteredono
Sax freaking Carr: Fell asleep, woke up to his podcast, got scared and made a flipping facebook post about it! Now I'm the superfan and we'd do anything to help the other out.
You have to face it, the Internets aren't normal.
The people who live on it's tangled web aren't normal.
A creepy comment isn't always creepy online. It's charming.
Someone who is odd and talks to themselves in a review isn't a reason to call the nut police, it's a reason why you like their reviews.
This is why older generations fear for the new ones. They blame our horrid actions on social media.
I can't blame them.
It certainly helped.
But I don't think all of us are that bad.
Those mentioned above, and many others like Mystery and Blake T**, I find your quirks to be just that.
Quirky.
I like that someone can laugh at my weak joke. That despite my creepy review she saw I meant no harm.
Quirky.
I like that someone can laugh at my weak joke. That despite my creepy review she saw I meant no harm.
Maybe my first guess was wrong, perhaps the Internet hasn't warped these people's minds into something worse, but something better. Maybe there is a point in spending your days surfing through the world wide web.
Maybe we're all better off.
*Chats about pirates perhaps...*hint hint read this http://specificness.blogspot.com/search/label/pirates*
**Blake has been following since like my first week on twitter and I have no clue why. I guess I'm funny and charming...

AMERICA!
It smells like gunpowder outside, which by the way is the official scent of American freedom!
Can't wait to find all the trash from fireworks later.
Anywho, just dropping by to wish a happy forth to those of you who feel inclined to hear it.
Eagles. Cherry Pie. Fireworks. Stars and stuff.
Woo AMERICA!

BONUS: I don't need sweatpants
I keep seeing the "Like if you love wearing your sweatpants all day" posts.
Why?
Am I supposed to have a certain pair of pants to put on that I love?
In my case that's my jeans.
I don't really know what that picture says...
"My pants are so uncomfortable that on the rare occasion no one sees me I like to wear sweatpants. I love that I can move my legs freely in them! This is also the time where I don't bother with hair or makeup. It feels so good to have that pressure off my back!"
Uh...cool.
I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing then.
Which is wearing jeans and t-shirts.
Have fun with your...situation...
ALSO SPELL CHECK WORKS AGAIN! YAY!

Format Blues
If you haven't been visting from a mobile device, you may have noticed my blog looks a tad different from when I first started.
I added stuff. Moved stuff around. Wrote words.
Don't worry if you've found it tough to keep up, I think I'm content with the way it is now.
In other news, there is nothing to do.
By nothing I mean of course that I have a million things to do and don't feel like doing any of them.
That's why I'm here. With a sorry excuse for a post.
I'M SORRY GOSH!
I just wanted to do something...other than what I need to get done.
OH I HAVE A FUN IDEA! I'll post whatever is floating around in my pictures folder (I'm normaly quite organized...) and comment on it!
Hmm...
I hope I won't regret this...
Okay, first pic!
Okay...well...that was kind of weird...next batch...
I don't plan on doing that ever again.

Powerpuff, Parakeets, and Parkitcharlie
Two of the things mentioned in the title are related. Can you guess which ones?
If you guessed Parakeets and Parkitcharlie YOU'D BE CORRECT!
But I want to save that story for the end, so let's turn to Powerpuff.
In the post Questions: The Return, I mentioned I had a terrible break-up with the vacuum.
I wasn't joking.
There was a short time when I wanted nothing to do with the vacuum cleaner.
The events leading up to the messy split were anticlimactic. I was vacuuming my room per usual. Back and forth. Back and forth. But then we hit a bump in our relationship.
It was probably all for the best. We had nothing in common really, he liked a clean house, I hated cleaning. He was full of hot air, I wasn't. He had to be plugged in to be turned on...
But that day when we were cleaning we hit a snag.
Literally.
He sucked up the corner of my beloved Powerpuff Girls blanket. It had been hanging off my bed and he just snatched on.
I was startled. I turned him off instantly and ripped my blanket out of his jaws.
I was done with him from that moment on. He knew what that blanket meant to me...
Of course, that lasted for as long as it took for my mother to tell me to clean again. Which I did, but there was no fondness in my action anymore.
Since then we've gotten a newer, nicer, vacuum. We're cool.
And now for the other two
But I will try to give you the sparknotes version.
I have a green parakeet, his name is Charlie.
Around the time I got him, I decided to get an email account that I could remember. I liked the name Charlie and my bird so I decide that Charlie should be a part of it.
But charlie@blablablabla.bla is boring!
It need a kick
So I thought about how funny it would be if someone named Charlie had the last name Parkit.
Park the car! Parkit Charlie!
Thus, parkitcharlie.
Years later I used the name in a short story called "I, Don't Care" (got an honorable mention in the lad fair) giving birth to the character that I would use later in what the loyal readers know to be as CPRB.
From there I've used parkitcharlie as my username for pretty much anything and everything.
Really. Google it. I'm everywhere.
And that, is the post for today!

If you guessed Parakeets and Parkitcharlie YOU'D BE CORRECT!
But I want to save that story for the end, so let's turn to Powerpuff.
In the post Questions: The Return, I mentioned I had a terrible break-up with the vacuum.
I wasn't joking.
There was a short time when I wanted nothing to do with the vacuum cleaner.
The events leading up to the messy split were anticlimactic. I was vacuuming my room per usual. Back and forth. Back and forth. But then we hit a bump in our relationship.
It was probably all for the best. We had nothing in common really, he liked a clean house, I hated cleaning. He was full of hot air, I wasn't. He had to be plugged in to be turned on...
