RED PANDAS! HERE I COME!

On Thursday, the much anticipated adventure began. I and my comrades were going to set out to search for the majestically adorable red panda. So I adorned my blessed red panda socks, in hopes that they would guide me to my heart's desire.




We traveled for an hour or so and entered a land known as Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens, we were greeted by some creatures known as Gibbons and took their advice as to where the majestically adorable red pandas dwell.

We encountered camels, who seemed unconcerned with our quest and offered no help.
We three walked through the cave of nocturnal dwellers and met with some Vampire Bats, but they were to consumed with gorging themselves upon their feast of blood to offer any aid.

As we trekked through the cave, we came upon a hideous and scary creature. I summoned my strength and asked it for some help. But he stood and stared at me and my comrades with his cold judgmental eye.

At last, we reached an astounding creature who stunned us all.

It stunned us with it's beauty for a moment, but we quickly gathered our wits and began the quest anew.

We came across a baby wallaby, who was cute but not quite what we sought. We wished him well in his life.

We came across two kings and asked if they might know of the red panda, alas they did not. Nor did they know of the most renowned lion known as Aslan.

As we walked on and on we encountered more queer beasts.

and met some stubborn ones who refused to guide us towards our goal.

And then, a ray of hope, we were getting closer!

We encountered a few more beasts, who had similar coloring and were adorable as well, but none could compare to . . . .

THE RED PANDA!

our perseverance was rewarded, not only did we locate the red panda, we found four of them. They were curled up in the trees. Two pairs in two different trees.

they blessed us and rewarded us by showing their adorable faces to us.

After gazing upon their majestically adorable faces for many heart-racing moments,

my comrades and I made it through a magic bamboo forest.

and i was rewarded for my hopefulness during my quest by being able to take back my VERY OWN RED PANDA! well, the closest thing i'll ever get to hugging one.

THE END

Mom, Rich and I had a good time at the Cincinnati Zoo. Can i just say that i have the BEST parents EVER! We went to the Zoo in 40 degree weather, but it wasn't too bad since we dressed appropriately. ^_^ they let me go back and visit the red panda on THREE different occasions while we were there. They also bought me that cute stuffed red panda (though i intend to pay them back once i have a bit more money to my name '~') Rich treated us to a yummy lunch and a dinner at a cute little place in Lebanon and ice cream.

There were a few animals we forgot to see (which we probably could have if we hadn't of seen the red pandas three times. heehee . . . ) I also got two flattened pennies ^_^ and we were all amused by the random animal poop facts found on the bathroom stall doors at the zoo.

And other than witnessing something completely natural (yet still disturbing) between a male and female polar bear (which just might have ruined me to polar bears for the rest of my life), the day was WONDERFUL and i don't think i would change anything about it. except maybe being able to take a real red panda home . . . or two. ^_^

I LOVE YOU ALL and HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND! ^_^

p.s. HAPPY BIRTHDAY judah and uncle george!

Flynn Rider meets Han Solo

Ok, so I'm a HUGE dork. ^~^

I had the pleasure of attending a Star Wars marathon, where I fell in love with Han Solo all over again. While watching though, I started thinking that he slightly reminded me of Flynn Rider (from Disney's Tangled). So here is the silliness that resulted in my thought of if the two ever met.

And for why I think they are similar: They both have seedy occupations before they meet (and fall in love with) their princesses (princesses who have interesting hair, never knew their fathers during childhood, and have fathers who have high positions in government), they each have a furry companion (Chewbacca and Maximus), are wanted, and both are EXTREMELY good-looking. ^_^

ST. PATRICK'S DAY SOCKS!

For all those who don't have the pleasure of running into me today to get a view of my AWESOME socks that i only wear once a year (it's because they're so EPIC!)

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

i hope you wore green, if not then this one is for you: PINCH! (mwahahahahaha) ^_^

COME HOME, PLEASE!

Mommy needs her baby home, ASAP.

Am I At Child Care?

I recently just got out of the bathroom here at school (you know, CCAD. that college, full of like early twenty year olds?) as i departed from my stall, so did the girl who was in the stall next to mine.

As you would guess, we both made our ways to the sink to wash our hands. We turned on the water, stuck our hands underneath it, BUT that was where the familiarity ceased.

Where I went for the soap dispenser (and squirted out a hearty amount of foamy soap), she went to turn off the sink. AH! I know she didn't use soap, there's only one soap dispenser in that bathroom, between her sink and mine!

Unless she has super human speed and i was unable to witness her use it. Or she carries a secret stash within her bracelet?

I had to bite my tongue because i almost said, "soap is our friend", something i find myself saying to the little ones at the child care.

why bother getting your hands wet if you don't use soap? maybe she thought she did a convincing job of fooling me (cause i'm sure she cared about appearances for my sake). She did a better job of it than those of whom i've seen here on campus before her, those that flush the toilet, leave the stall and then bolt for the door.

I don't get why people don't wash their hands, is there an increase in people who are allergic to soap? does it really take that much time out of your life? i don't know, i don't get it.

okay, just my rant. i thought i should update something on here. ^_^
