A quiz to keep my homeschooling status

I took the Overachieving Homeschooler’s Quiz and got a 24, which means:

Not even close! Your fellow homeschoolers adore you. We all need to know that, at the end of the day, we could have done a lot worse.

Heh. So feel good about yourselves. I do! :D

(p.s. – that was a really funny quiz.)

Well twit this

I can’t say I’ve been completely quiet. I have to admit, much of my casual online conversation has been hapening over at my twitter account.

What’s twitter? Well.. it’s like a chat room. A really really big chat room. Linking you with your friends and people you want to socialize with. All in 140 characters or less. It’s all I have the brain & time for these days. Actually, I think it’s a great social networking tool, and if I can ever get a couple of my own sites launched I’ll have an instant viral push. I have even been networking with top people in different media, business & blogging circles.

I digress! And too much with the business-speak here, coming from my mouth. All to tell you I turned on some buttons and things, and you’ll now at least get a daily digest update of the things I have typed in over there at Twitter.

*whew*

(Oh, and pre-emptive apologies to those who follow me on twitter and will see them twice. It’s my mom, see. She has to know I’m alive and doing something somewhere.)

Another entry from Sarah

So we haven’t been having a lot of adventures around here lately. Well, we went to the grocery store yesterday, but most people probably wouldn’t find that terribly exciting. While we were driving there, Mom asked me if we were going to go find some “hot guys.” That was somewhat frightening, So I got her back by saying “So, you want me to blog about this, right?”

(I’d like to note that you come home with so much less groceries if you only buy what’s on the list.)

I had been meaning to post another entry sooner, but haven’t because of the lack of things to update (Monday: Got dressed today. Good times. That’s all), and partly because I’ve been playing far too much of a games called Empire Earth. It’s pretty entertaining, though the first/second Age Of Empires game still has to be my favorite. The one thing I like about this is you can build robots. ROBOTS! They shoot lasers. It’s pretty spectacular.

Some may think playing games is a waste of time, but I figure that once I get a job this summer, from then until I retire I’ll be working or at school for most of the time, so I’m enjoying being a lazy bum while I still can. Because really, mostly what I do is read books, play computer games and surf the internet. I will probably still be doing these things whenever I’m in school/working, just less of them, and I probably won’t be able to do all three things in the space of a day. so I figure I might as well fill my boots while I can.

Since this entry isn’t terribly entertaining, I pulled out a TV show idea from my evil plans folder:

“I was listening to The Tragically Hip while I was playing cards on the computer, and I got a brilliant idea for a TV show! “Everybody loves Gordy”. I’ve heard that a lot of people think that if you’re Canadian, you like The Hip.. Not everyone does, but a lot of people do. Everybody loves Gordy. Hmm.. it’d involve beer, we know that. Drinking beer and eating poutine, surrounded by old fridges. In an igloo. An igloo park! YEAH! Like a trailer park, but with igloos. Chesterfields all over the lawn, too. Or, convert an old fridge into a couch and set it up so instead of cooling things, it’ll keep you nice and toasty. Make it with duct tape. I’ll make millions, who’s with me?
