BUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have a lot of bugs in our house latley.
it started when my friend gave me a monarch caterpillar who i named simon. monarchs are my favorite!
then one day we discovered that there is a cricket in our backroom, who i named camren.
then, (this is funny, guys!) we went to the farmers market and on one of the cabbages we found the cocoon of a cabbage moth. they let us take home the leaf it was on. i named the cocoon sally.
finally, today when mom was watering the plants, she noticed a caterpillar on the parsley.
long story short, its a Black Swallowtail, (moms favorite!) whom i call selena.
also, i have a spider-plant outside called courtney, right? well today it sprouted a long stem
(roughly 24 inches) with pretty white flowers, some still budding. i'm starting to doubt that its a spider plant because i've never heard of them doing that. if you have, or if you know what kind of plant it is, please comment!!!!!!!

Words words and words.

Ok. today i showed my dad that i was reading 20,000 leauges under the sea,
and i told him i had found three new words for my collection (now with 217 words!)
so we started looking up pictures of wierd fish. (wait for it!)
but then my mom asked what a league was, and we looked it up. pretty soon, we were looking up interesting words and stuff on the internet. heres some pretty impressive ones.

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia which, ironically, is the fear of long words.

Floccinaucinihilipilification

Antidisestablishmentarianism

and, psuedofollicular.

but the longest word in the world, containing over 1,800 letters, is;

Methionylglutaminylarginyltyrosylglutamylserylleucylphen- ylalanylalanylglutaminylleucyllysylglutamylarginyllysylgluta- mylglysylalanylphenylalanylvalylprolylphenylalanylyalylthre- onylleucylglcycylaspartylprolylglicylisoleucyglutamylgluta- minlserylleucyllysylisoleucylaspartylthreonylleucylisoleu- cylglutamylalanylglyclyalanylaspartylalanylleucyglutamylle- ucylgluycylisoleucylproluylphenylalanyserylaspartyprolylleu- celalanylaspartylglycylprolylthreonylisolleucyglutaminylaspa- raginylalanythreonylleucylarginylalanylphenylalanylalanylal- anylglycylvalylthreonylprolylalanylglutaminylcysteinylphen- ylalanylglglutamylmethionylleucyalanylleucylisoleucylarginyl- glutaminyllysylhistidylprolyuthreonylisoleucylprolylisoleuc- ylglycylleucylleucylmethionyltyrosylalanylasbaraginylleucyl- valylphenylalanylsparaginyyllysylglycylisoleucylaspartylglut- amylphenylalanylyltyrosylalanylglutaminylcysteinylglutamyll- ysylvalylglycylvalylspartylserylvalylleucylvallalanylaspart- ylvalylprolylvalvlglutaminylglutamylserylalanylprolylpheny- lalalrginylglutaminylalanylalanylleucylarginylhistidylasp- araginylvalylalalprolylisoleucylphenylalanylisoleucylcystei- nylprolyprolylaspartylalanylaspartylaspartyspartyleucylle- ucylarginylglutaminylisoleucylalanylseryltyroslglycylargin- ylglycyltyrosylthreonyltyrosylleucylleucylserylarginlalanyl- glycylvalylthreonylglycylalanylglutamylasparaginylarginyla- nylalanylleucylprolylleucylaspaaginylhistidylleucylvalylalan- yllysylleucyllysylglutamyltyrosylasparagimylalanylalanypro- lylprolylleucylglutaminylglycylphenlalanylglycylisoleyucyls- erylalanylprolylaspartylglutaminylvalyllysylalanylalanylisol- eucylalspartylalanylglycylalanylalanylglycylalanylasoleucylse- rylglycylserylalanylisoleucylbalyllysylisoleucylisoleucylgluta- mylglutaminylhistidylasparaginylisoleucylglutamylpronylglu-0 tamyllysylmethionylluecylalanylalanyoeucyllysylvalylpheny- lalanylvalylglutamilylprolylmethionyllysylalanylalanylthreo- nylarginylserine.

Bugs and Challah.

last night i had the wierdest dream.
i was trying to raise baby animals in a jar, see?
well actually, they were snails, and bugs called ravens that sting you. but then the raven bugs got out, and i chased them until i found this valley, full of talking animals in bunk beds. then, for some reason, the whole dream shifted to the topic of raisin challah.
