Yes, I am back. I just haven't gotten around to putting up a blog in forever. I had a really bad case of the 'I'll do it tomorrow's. You know the feeling?

     Anyway, I had two really cool things happen today! First, my church held a Youth Recruitment dinner for Vacation Bible School. We really need a lot more help with it, so I hope the other Youth in the church will step up. So far, we have 16 kids! And that's only with one day of registration. The dinner was Sloppy Joe's and Potato Chips with Country Time Pink Lemonade. During the meeting after the dinner, Mrs. Beth D. gave everyone a test on the Arctic to take. Each person got a Winterfresh Lifesaver for each correct answer. The person with the most Lifesavers at the end of the test would get . . . A KING-SIZED MILKY WAY BAR! The person who got the most had 18 Lifesavers out of a possible 25! Guess who the lucky person was? It was ME! Happy Dance time!

     Okay, enough Happy Dance for now. The second really cool thing? I got an early birthday present from my friend Nikk. He gave me three katanas! (katanas are Japanese swords, for anyone who didn't know that.)They are really sharp, and there's a short one, a longer one, and a really long one. The shortest one is about the length of my lower arm, the next biggest one is about the length from my knee to my toe if my foot is pointed, and the biggest one is about the length from the floor to the side of my waist. The reason he gave them to me is I have a theme to my room. Actually, I kinda have three or four themes that don't really match.  The three themes are: Tar Heels (gotta love the 'Heels!), Lego/Bionicle, and Japanese. I have said multiple times to my mom that one thing I needed to really have a Japanese theme was a set of katanas. Even just one katana would be enough. I guess Nikk overheard one day.  My dad is probably gonna kill/maim him once he finds out, though.

     By the way, how do you guys like the new look of my blog? Isn't it awsome? Yu Yu Hakusho is my all-time favorite anime. More specifically, Hiei is my favorite anime character of all time. Here's a cool picture of him:

     I have finally gotten the hang of putting pictures in my blogs. Speaking of which, remember the bad hair day picture I had in an earlier blog? I fixed that . . . Sorry about the stupid X in the box. I hate those things.

     Well, I guess that's enough for this entry. My sister SHOULD have her scanner up soon because Nikk is going to fix it for her. That means that my comic, "Pickles and Ketchup (With Fur)" will be coming soon to a computer near you! YaY!  I can't wait.

     See ya! ~Rachel
