My title just reflects my math geekiness. And no, these aren't from Scattergories, although that would be a good idea.... :D

Caradactyl.... I like that. And chihuahuas.... I won't tell my friend Amy B. you said that, but occasionally I'm inclined to agree with you. Sometimes I like them, though. :) And #6 was way too easy for you. :) Then again, #14 was easy for me. Don't tell, but I tweaked it so I could have an answer for every thing. *evil laugh*

That's the advantage when YOU come up with these things... ;) And I hate to tell you, but you've already told us all.
(June 14, 2009 - 7:49 am)
Oh, yeah. Oops. :P Occasionally, I forget that when you hit "reply" everyone sees it, not just the person you're replying to. (Well, technically, "to whom you are replying," but not even my grammar geekiness likes awkward sentences that fix dangling prepositions. :P:P:P) I know it's weird, but hey, I'm just about the weirdest person I know. :D And I'm fiercely proud of it.

Go weirdness! Still, I might be a little weirder.
(June 18, 2009 - 5:10 pm)
Oh, yeah? OH, YEAH?!!!!! Wanna bet? *flaunts "Weirdest" medal proudly* I'm a math geek, a writing geek, a poetry geek, a science geek, I love little kids, I'm thirteen and in two more years I'll be done with high school (at the age when most kids start), I actually like my brother (well love him actually, and I make no secret of it. And he loves me back and says so. We argued a lot when we were little, but after three years of homeschooling, he's my best friend. :D) I've written a sonnet about a crochet hook (top that) and yesterday I sold iced tea with an eight-year-old for two hours and we made twelve bucks. And next time our neighbor's cat bites me, I'm going to dunk him in our pool. Hard. And I could go on, but it's almost nine o'clock here, and I've got things to do tonight. (Just kidding about the beginning of this post, btw.)

Please don't do that to the cat!
