This is Maggie's ancient, mostly dead (but still slightly alive!) blog. Peruse the archives at your own risk; they contain more than a little teenage nonsense.

Fun stuphph
Mom hit a car. While she was walking. Because she was going too fast. Soo, she has really impressive scabs and bruises, and just got home from the doctor, where she was seeing if her wrist was okay. It turns out, it's a severe contusion, but when she was sent to the hospital to increase her risk of cancer (x-rays), there were no breaks. Good.
Blackberries are actually producing. S'wonderful.

You're an Owl!
Old and wise, you have a thirst for knowledge and a reputation for
making the right decision. This can be a lot of pressure sometimes, but you seem
so relaxed and unruffled that it never seems to show. You always keep your eyes
wide open and fixed on your next objective, or on the Harry Potter books, which
you love. The only question you ever ask is "Who?"

Blooded sticks and such
Blooded sticks: When we went to the lake we all found sticks and dubbed them our Beloved (Blooded) Sticks. Mine was named Peanut Butter after my dear Peanut Butter the First, a plastic ball i found at the beach once because Peanut Butter was almost lost in the water once, as PB I was. Poor PB I. Anna's was Bathtub because at the campfire the previous night we were talking about names and naming our kids stupid stuphph like 'Apple' and 'Tuesday' and Mrs. Horner (i think) said that you could just pick a random word in the dictionary and that would be your kid's name, and Anna chocked on her marshmallow (a peep in disguise… ooh, those peeps >:E) when we suggested 'Bathtub' for a name. PB II and Bathtub were conjoined twins, but i, the surgeon, seperated them. I broke it into two sticks. Maria's was Cherished because she cherished it, i think. Can't think of another reason. Lillian's was this cute little piece of driftwood named Duckbill because it looked like a duck's head. We were so cute with our beloved sticks… then in the last campfire we burned them. It was fun.
Black Squirrels: They just look so weird. One scared Maria and Anna shot it with her NERF gun. Yay! Oh, but we weren't nearly so scared of that as we were when a chipmunk ran in our tent!

Saint Bob
Ok, I have this website which has all the official usa holidays. So I go on and July Nineth is “Martyrdom of the Bab” day. Now, the font is slightly funky so it looked like “Martyrdom of the Bob” day. Hence, somehow Bob was martyred, not killed (no wait, died; if he was killed he might have been martyred) and now they have a national holiday for it. Which one of your fans got it put in the national register, Magsplat? Unfortunately I didn’t think of it.
Garfield had to be around 15+ years before they invented Garfield Day (on his b-day). Bob Dies hasn’t been available to the public for one year and you already have a holiday for it! Does this mean you will be more popular than Garfield? Now THAT would be an amazing accomplishment!
Your hairiest fan,
M the Pixilated (my new favorite word)
P.S. if anybody can tell me what The Martyrdom of Bab really is I would be most appreciative. Bab? Bab?
Ahem: If you didn't get it, the M wrote this! Yay for her!

Fourth of July
This is why one shouldn't drum one's fingers on the keyboard.
So, this whole 'fourth' thing…
Just when i got back from Germany i was talking to my boss (the one who pays me five dollars an hour to hold his baby), and i said i might like it better in Germany. He said, "Really? Not me. Just remember - you can never get the freedom there that you can get here." And he was a soldier, so he went to other countries and saw more than sights of Luther, Bach, and those adorable little bakeries where you can get a roll for twenty-nine cents…
So, what freedom is that? True, it's completely illegal to homeschool there… And there was something about communism. What was that? You'd better post, Big Rock.
