"Follow This, You Bitches!" -Cher

This title is no reflection on my followers, I just find it amusing. Gotta love Cher.
Everyone loves my blog, I get rave reviews. When I went home to Pennsylvania last weekend, I was praised for my blogging finesse and actually bowed down to. Honestly! I know, I know. I have a tendency for wild over-exaggeration, but I didn't make this up, it happened right there behind the registers. Thanks Again Judy! <3 Haha, you earned a shout-out!
But speaking of exaggerating... No, not everyone loves my blog. Hard to believe, yes, but true. I was informed by my friend Catherine that my blog "SUCKS!" Its not that she doesn't love it as much as the next person, but she loves it soooo much and it sucks because I never update. She demands daily posts! Crystal, you have to be forceful apparently haha. This was Friday night. I didn't update until now tho, because I decided that I have weekends off. So there.
Where to begin. I had stories that I was remembering specifically to include the next time I got around to blogging, but when I went to sit down I couldn't remember... I remember Olivia's story, but I forget Jacob's, I have one, but I don't know if that's the one I am thinking of. I'm obviously thinking of it at this moment, but I meant I don't know if that was the one I am trying to remember. Oh well, it's the one I'll share in any case.
They are both Star Wars themed. I am going to leave a big space at the end of this post, so that as you are reading it you should be scrolling down the page, making the words go up and off the screen, like in the beginning of the movies where they give you that overview. If you are using a laptop tilt the screen back further than straight up so that the words come at an angle, for a more authentic feel. And hum the Star Wars Theme under your breath, too!
Jacob and I were playing in his room, we were sitting on his bed which was in acuality his spaceship. It was hard to follow because he would call me Luke, and then he was Luke, I don't know, smile and nod. Both the kids like to play this game, "Where's Mommy?" (At work,) "Where's Daddy?" (At work,) where's this person, at home, where's so-and-so, at home. They also play what does this character say, with Spongebob and friends, and Star Wars characters. Jacob hadn't asked me what Yoda says, I don't know what he asked or told me, but I responded with "MMMmmmm...mmMMMMmmm" in the Yoda voice. Jacob yelled, "GET OUT OF HERE, YODA!" Maybe you had to have been there, but it was so funny. I just remembered the story I was saving for the blog, I will come back to it, it doesn't have to do with Star Wars. I should sit on it incase I come up empty since now I have to come up with something to write every night without fail, but I might forget it again so I'll just write it tonight. If I am hard pressed for a topic at any point this week, maybe I'll just write, "please see that extra story below." Just kidding I won't do that. I hope you're still Star Wars Scrolling! The interactive blog quip in one of my earliest posts was a big hit with Alisa, so its interactive again. I also started watching Sex and the City today, so that should inspire me to keep on top of the blogging. I feel like Carrie typing her column on her Mac just like mine, haha. "I couldn't help but wonder..." Anyway back to Olivia's Star Wars story, and then when I tell the second story about Jacob you can quit the scrolling, which again, you are still supposed to be doing! Stop humming though, its getting annoying.
Olivia and I were playing outside on the trampoline, I'm not sure where Jacob was, but someone was home, I wasn't working haha. She was jumping and I was just standing on the outside. The tramp is enclosed with this netting fence, and the kids like to lean against it and be shoved and they fall down and bounce. We don't push them down, especially Olivia is repelled backwards by mostly her own force, walking, and just decides when to plop down. But they think its fun. So that it what we were doing. And somehow Star Wars came up, I don't know if it was the "what does Darth Vader say?" game or how it started but I started making Darth Vader's breathing noise. Olivia started saying "aahh oh no, stop making that noise Darth Vader!" So I said, that's my breathing noise, if I'm not making that noise I'm not breathing, so I was like "bleh, ehhh" and she said "Okay Darth Vader, you can breath, sure, make that noise." Haha aw.
When they ask "what does (insert Star Wars character) say?" they use Darth Vader's breathing and for the rest they use iconic phrases, but once when Jacob asked what Princess Leia says, I couldn't think of anything obvious she said, so I said "I don't know, what does Princess Leia say?" He affected a high, girl voice and said, "AAAHHHH! DARTH VADER! AAAHHH!" That was so funny, because of how he did it and also she really doesn't say that, but it was so cute.
Okay, you can stop scrolling down now, I don't know if that's far enough to make all the Star Wars go off the top of the screen like i was going for, but oh well. So the original story I said I couldn't remember but then ended up remembering. I forgot it again. Just Kidding. That would stink, but I remember it, don't worry! Jacob and I were in the driveway, and the firepit was sitting there with chairs around it. I just realized that this does have Star Wars in it, but you don't have to scroll anymore, the Star Wars part isn't integral to the plot. Jacob had a straw and on of those glow necklaces that you snap and make glow, it wasn't attached at the ends so it wasn't a necklace just a straight thing, and the glow had died long ago (in a galaxy far far away...) So he was putting the necklace into the straw and then flinging it out, or just tipping it out, and this was "Blowing up the Deathstar." I wasn't sure if he was shooting the necklace at the Deathstar and blowing it up or the straw and necklace thing were the Deathstar and when it came out it was the blowing up... Anyway, he knew, he was entertained. None of that has anything to do with the point. This is the funny part. At least to me. So I was just standing around while he was running around bombing the Empire to oblivion. At some point he was by the chairs and he told me to sit down. I told him, "I don't want to sit down, I want to dance!" Which I found uproariously hilarious, though I did not laugh, which I found still funnier.

Please disregard everything about the scrolling, the site didn't like the massive space between the second last and the last paragraph and had an error trying to post it. Its the thought that counts, I thought it was a clever idea.
I also don't know why the indentations of the paragraphs went away, I tried to put them back in but now the tab key sends me to another part of the web page....
And I just tried the scrolling thing and it works even without the big space. You probably did it anyway by the time you got the message about disregarding it, tho anyway, so
