Army of Styrofoam Penguins!!!!

[Kat Kariena]

SO! My boyfriend(still trying to figure out HOW I got this one)'s bithrday was Thursday, I don't know when I'll see him next but anyway... I kept asking him for suggestions of something constructive to get him for his birthday, books, games, whatever, and he wouldn't give me anything (:twak ) ... SO! I am now making an army of styrofoam penguins (six small and six larger ones)... bwahahahahahahahaha..... Ignore me, I've spent the last four hours painting styrofoam balls and cutting felt... now the paint just needs to dry so I can glue them together... muahahahha!!!

Anyone think this will teach him to give me ideas? :lol

:angel

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I don't have any comments except that this thread needs more pictures. :D

[Parsideon Denix]

You have to make me some of these. I want to shoot them.

[Alexia Marzullo]

Between the Army of Styrofoam Penguins and the Duck Armada, this board has a tiny bird militia!

Anyway, I think he will give you ideas, or just laugh at you for making them. Atleast you made him something, he should like that. I'd just take him out to dinner or something either before or after you give him his army.

[Mr. Feint]

I demand pictures!

And the Penguins need little bomb packs on their backs, otherwise Batman will have nothing to do this weekend.

[Kat Kariena]

:lol I'll take pictures as soon as their done, right now I need the paint to dry before I go glueing the eyes and such on. He actually does like penguins (he took about 15 pictures of them at the New England Aquarium before we started dating), so hopefully he'll learn, otherwise he's gonna have tweleve penguins to find something to do with and somewhere to put them. (I forsee a place on the mantel above the fireplace thing in his apartment :lol)

I *would* take him to dinner but there are two slight problems with that, the first being he lives two hours away just outside of Boston (I actually have to take the bus TO Boston and then the comuter rail an hour north to get to his place) so it's difficult to get together with him, and the second being he never lets me pay for anything when we're together! :lol Silly boy. :twak

[Alexia Marzullo]

Well, then I have no more ideas for ya then... hopefully he'll just learn his lesson... and that commute sounds sucky... I'm happy that I don't live in a big city with comuter rails and such...

[Kat Kariena]

I don't live in a big city, I just live an an evil state known as Vermont. I'm waiting for my car to finish getting fixed (I kinda hit a deer at about 60mph back in November and my mom has been putting it back together) and that will make it easier to see him during the week.

It's not so bad, the commute, my dad works for the bus company, so all I have to do is say "Hi! I'm SoandSo's kid!" they laugh, ask me how I'm doing, no ticket required :lol Just a pain getting weekends off from work... evil retail x.X *shall hopefully be getting new job soonish*

[Parsideon Denix]

Exactly what is evil about Vermont? It's pretty awesome from what I see.

[Alexia Marzullo]

I hear ya on the weekends off thing... retail blows... bah... a lot of my friends work M-F and I'm stuck working the days they are off, though my husband works in a restuarant, so he barely gets weekends off either, so it works out that way...
that's awesome about the bus, though... free trips are better than no trips

[Kat Kariena]

Try living here a few years and you'll figure it out... ;)

... No wait, nevermind, we're trying to get rid of the flatlanders :lol

Vermont doesn't let any big industry in, 85% of it's economy is based on tourism, so needless to say jobs are lacking, great place to grow up, but horrible place to find a job or live. :\ As it is, I live right on the boarder of Vermont and New Hampshire so I can work over in New Hampshire, which is nice (yay for no sales tax!).

Granted, Vermont *is* beautiful in the fall... now if we could get all the blasted leafpeepers to go away things would be so much nicer :lol

Yes, free bus tickets are great, I've gotten to travel all over the place because of it. Been able to meet some amazing people (including my boyfriend :lol) ^_^;

[Elektra Kathian]

I wish I could live somewhere pretty like that.

Everyone says California is one of the best places in America to live. BAH. Not SoCal. Its Hot, its dry, its... brown... constantly. We have two seasons. Hot, and rain. Thats it.

Anyways. I want picies of the Penguins. It sounds cute. And doesnt your boyfriend come see you? Or is he like most of the boyfriends I have had recently where they refuse to visit you, always insisting apon you going to them?

[Parsideon Denix]

Everyone says California is one of the best places in America to live.

No we don't.

[Nathanial K'cansce]

"Can I microwave styrofoam?"

"Sure... it's just foam. Made from styro."

I want an army of penguins. :(

[Morgan Evanar]

Everyone says California is one of the best places in America to live.

No we don't.Earthquakes and fires are the price for impossible weather year-round.

[Elektra Kathian]

Earthquakes are easy. I practicly live on the fault line. You barely feel them when they actualy do go through, it is rare that we actualy have a harsh earth quake.

Fires? Yeah those CAN get bad. But not all the time. I lived through the San Diego Fires. Was right smack dab in the middle of them at the time.

Our natural disasters are Nothing compared to Hurricans, Tornadoes, Snow Storms and things like that.

[Jaime Tomahawk]

SoCal fires are not much more than a mild hazing compared to the real firestorms this place in drought can cop.

[Charley]

Earthquakes and fires are the price for impossible weather year-round.

High cost of living and terrible politics must be the sales tax.

[Nathanial K'cansce]

Haha


I'd take snow and ice storms over fire storms any day of the weak.

[Kat Kariena]

*falls over laughing* :lol :lol :lol Yeah, those snow storms are REALLY horrible to live through! :rolleyes

No really, their not that bad, the only ones who get into accidents around here are the idoits who look outside and go "Oh! There's four feet of snow in the last two hours... let's go for a drive!" aka flatlanders XD

And yes, my boyfriend does come visit me, usually once or twice a month I go down there and once or twice a month he comes up here and stays overnight ^_^; He's a good boyfriend.

Hurricanes are entertaining... I went to school in Georgia for two years... the year of Hurricane Katrina, actually... my school in the far northwest corner of Georgia almost in South Carolina got hit by 5 hurricanes within a day or less of each other :lol It was quite entertaining, the rain was nice and warm too... what sucked as we went from warm outside/rain into freezing cold ACed classrooms... I still find it amazing the entire school didn't get sick during that. o_O

Anyway... the penguins are almost done, and then I will have a picture up ^_^;
