I Hate Humidity and (female) Mosquitoes*!

Like the title says, I am not a big fan of humidity. Heat is alright, but when it's sticky as well, I start melting. See that little sentient puddle of goo over there typing this post for you? Yeah, that's me. It's not even that hot, really. In fact, there's kind of a cool breeze outside, but inside it's all icky, and inside is where the computer is. Sigh.

Oh, and the other thing I hate about summer is the mosquitoes. I, apparently, am extremely allergic to mosquito bites, and instead of getting neat little circular bumps like most people, I get these giant red patches that are disgusting to look at and extremely itchy. They actually kind of look like hives. Currently, there are three of said huge deformed bites on me (one on my left leg, two on my right), though, since they're about three days old, they're not quite as scary looking and not quite as itchy. Yay?

^Apparently, "yay" is not a word in the Safari *dictionary*. There's a little red line under it. I just thought that was interesting (since it's the first word with a little red line under it--I do pride myself on my good spelling ^.^).

Which brings me to another point--I hate it when spell check thinks a word is wrong when you know you've spelled it right; my name gets treated as such whenever I use a school computer and it's not added to the dictionary. In fact, on the school computers, anything you "add to [the] dictionary" on Microsoft Word gets deleted. So I can make the little red line under my name (which is not your typical English name, oh no) go away for one day, but then it's back the next day. I know this because I tried it in computer class; one uses the same computer each day, so it's not like I was using different computers or anything. It was quite the scientific experiment. XD I really don't get why it does that. I mean, even if one were to add swear words to the dictionary (and most are already in it; I'm just saying :p), all it does is take away the little red line. It doesn't do anything, except remove the annoying little line. And anyway, it *enriches* the computer's *vocabulary*, right? So why does the stupid thing reset every day? Argh.

But then, this is coming from the school who blocks department store websites (that, in fact, were necessary for a French-class project-thing that involved French fashion and stores) for "pornography," "lingerie," and "inappropriate images," but doesn't block, say, Facebook. It doesn't block Blogspot, but it mostly blocks LiveJournal. A perfectly innocent website can be blocked for "inappropriate content" or whatever. I don't even know the reason behind any of its "filtering." Anyway, rant aside...

My little sister can stand up by herself and walk a little (collective "awwwww, isn't that cuuuute! <3")! She can also say "da-da" and "ma-ma." So, yeah, we're getting there. She's also supremely cute.

But before this turns into one of those blogs devoted solely to baby-stuff, we must go onwards!

Tomorrow shall mark the one-week-until-Virgil's-birthday milestone! If you, the casual reader, haven't noticed yet, Virgil's birthday is on June 30th. We plan to give her a big party on that day, complete with confetti and colorful banners. Unfortunately, Virgil is not with us this week (no, she's NOT dead; what in the world are you thinking?) because of pirate reading camp--reading camp where they dress as pirates, not a camp where they read pirates--so she cannot celebrate her almost-birthday with us. Momo is gone to camp as well, and House is soon to follow (waaaah!). So a reduced number of curly fries must hold the fort as best we can. It sounds so exciting when put that way, doesn't it? :)

This has been quite a long post. I had fun typing it.

Unfortunately, you shall only be graced with my presence for a few more questions after this, and then I shall go and leave you for a whole week. *gasp* Yeah, I know, you're devastated. Sorry.

To the questions we go!

1) What's your favorite type of cake?

2) Do you like shiny new school supplies?

3) Aren't plums delicious?

4) Have you read through the entirety of My Immortal? If so, how does it end (since I never cared to finish it)?

5) Are you excited for Virgil's birthday?

Cordially,

xiy

*Because, you know, it's only the female mosquitoes that bite people. The male ones just hang around sucking plant juices.
