Way above average.

Also: The Lord of the Rings counts as 3.

Chronicles of Narnia counts as 7 (which removes Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe because it’s in the series. Hence, this list is incredibly flawed.)

How is 6 average?

If I counted right I read 54 titles, and I count Lord of the Rings as 3, Chronicles of Narnia as 7, Harry Potter as 7, and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy as 5, then I’ve read… 72….

The Doctor (aka John Smith) is a Time Lord

Okie dokie…

So, I originally set out to write a post everyday about how epic my life is and about my wild and crazy dance adventure in New York. Well, that didn’t quite work out so well.

To deal with this error I have decided to take a page from The Muppet’s and do this thing by montage! *Enter epic montage music*

So, I know I promised to talk about the other game and I will, I swear, but today I’m going to talk about something else.

I’m going to talk about the underground tunnels of New York City. The tunnels are called the Subway and are so freaking confusing. I am studying Dance in New York and I had an awesome adventure last night when I got lost.

So, I was walking to my station and took a wrong turn. I got on what I thought was the right train that would take me exactly where I was going. Boy, was I wrong! I got on a train that was going the complete opposite direction. Of course, I was totally ignorant of this. I got a seat and was like “Wow, I got a seat! Now I just ride this to the end.”

It took me about 3 more stops then I care to admit before I realized I was going the wrong way. So I got off, and because this station didn’t connect to the downtown trains, I had to leave the station.

So, there I was with my big pink dance bag, in the middle of god knows where trying to find the other subway stop. Oh, yeah it was dark too, and no one was around.

Naturally, I started walking around. I know that people don’t think that there is a middle of nowhere in Manhattan, but there is. I walked something like 8 blocks before I saw lights. So, I walked towards them. I’m still not quite sure where I was, but it seemed to be filled with clubs and flamboyantly dressed people, mostly men.

I couldn’t help but stare at how fabulous some of them looked. I mean they were so fabulous and well dressed. I am quite envious of their fashion sense. Anyhoo, I kept walking, which, in retrospect, may not have been the wisest thing, until I was so tired, an so frustrated that I started to cry.

While I was crying, this beautiful cross dresser came up to me and asked me what was wrong.

CD : Honey, what’s wrong?

Me: *probably really hard to understand because of my crying* I’m lost.

CD : Sweetie, where are you trying to go? Do you want me to help you?

Me: *nods and sniffles*

He ( I really don’t mean to sound rude, or ignorant, or disrespectful, but I don’t know his name or gender preference, so I’m calling him “he”) took me inside a coffee shop, so I could clean my face up, then bought me a hot chocolate, and took me to the correct subway station, and gave me directions from there. He was really, really nice and helpful. I wish I could have thanked him better then I did.

And that’s how my adventure went! Have a polka dotted day!

*Some notes, 1) If anything in this is offencive, I’m really, really sorry. I don’t mean it to be. 2) I only wish it was David Tennant or Matt Smith

So, the other day as I was walking through an Office Depot, two things caught my eye (quite literally, in fact, just reached right out and grabbed my eye). First, was a computer game that had me whizzing down memory lane so fast my eyes watered. No, I wasn’t crying, well maybe a little. The other had my jaw drop so hard it hurt (yeah that wasn’t the best statement…) The second game I was just in shock, awe, and just utter disbelief, but I’ll get to that latter. The first game was… (I here drum rolls, but…) Zoo Tycoon the Complete Collection.

For those that don’t understand, this game coupled with RollerCoaster Tycoon, made my childhood (well as far as games go, but close enough). I was all like “Sweet! Zoo Tycoon! For $9.99! This is awesome!” And it is. I had forgotten how much fun it is and how much work it is. Honestly, it didn’t seem like that much work when I was ten.

So, today I made a Zoo. It was pretty kick ass. All of my animals were happy, my guests were happy(ish), and I was making money. Lots and lots of money. But that’s not important. Everything was going well except for the fact the my tigers were breeding like bunnies and didn’t die. All my other animals would “die of old age” but not the tigers. But that’s neither here nor there because they would stay pretty happy. Everything was great.

Until I got Snow Leopards

.

Now they may look all cute an cuddly. These animals single handily destroyed my zoo. Yes, they are freakishly adorable, and yes this was just a virtual zoo, but still! The snow leopards were sooooooooooo picky! About every thing. Nothing I did could make them happy and it made me so sad. I felt like I and failed these cute little cats and so I dropped everything to make them happy. And nothing helped. And soon he people were all like “If she can’t make the leopards happy she can’t make me happy. Let’s all stop liking her zoo.”

Well, that’s what it sounded like in my head. When the leopards couldn’t be happy, all the people got really stupid, like how Sims are in The Sims. And they all got angry and stopped liking my zoo and I felt like I failed them in some weird way.

Perhaps I’m just crazy. That is a definitely may be true. Or maybe I’m just that awesome that I can hear my virtual zoo guests thoughts. Ok… I think that may have sounded much crazier…. Anyhoo. So I was like “Fine, I’ll get rid of the snow leopards.” So I did. And the people were all like “If you got rid of the leopards because there were being difficult, are you going to get rid of me too? In some sick and twisted serial killer kinda way?” (I may or may not have recently watched the TV show Bones….) And everyone made a mad rush for the door. It was sad really. And it’s all because of the Snow Leopards….

Well that’s how Snow Leopards destroyed my zoo*. And as for the other game… Well, like I said I’ll talk about it latter. :)

That’s all for now. Have a Polka Dotted Day.

* I may have also released the lions and tigers on the people towards the end there…. Also the leopards have polka dots!!!! :)

Well, hi there! I’m ShayAnne and here’s some things I think you should know about me:

• I’m a dancer
• I like cute things
• I like Doctor Who (but really, who doesn’t?)
• I also like Firefly (and highly recommend it)
• I may be slightly crazy
• and I enjoy long walks on the beach

I think that ‘bout covers it. Enjoy! :)
