It's been a while

Hello, those of you who are still reading my blog after my month-long...err..."hiatus". I had some poor grades so I was grounded for a while. But now, other than Algebra, all is well! SO much has happened in the past month. So let me fill you in....

1. First I will explain my picture. This is now my IM display picture. Last Tuesday I got two hamsters from my aunt, or rather my cousin, whose hamster had 8 babies. i got two girls and named them Eva and Elphaba. Yes, Elphaba (the El sounds like an Al) In the musical Wicked(which i am DYING to see.) The story behind the Wizard of Oz is told, telling how Glinda the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch of the West met and how she became evil and all that good stuff. (my dad also discovered just from the soundtrack how the tin man came to be.very cool) Now let me ask you a question.. if you were born green and your parents named you Elphaba wouldn't you become evil? I thought so. So anyway. Now Elphaba is my only hamster. Eva died this morning. It was very sad. *moment of silence* moving on to nicer subjects.. (p.s. my aunt just sent me a snickers bar with her condolences.)
2. If you have seen my Dad's Flickr photos you will note that I had to take home an electronic baby. I named her Caroline Louise after my grandma. I got a 150/150 on it!!! It was fun
3. WE have been on the road for the past 5 weeks preaching
4. There was about a week period where I thought CSG was blocking me from IM. It turns out that it was a misunderstanding, but it was devestating none the less.
