Oh, hello!  I didn’t see you there.  I was just making another post for BlogCandy, the blog form of the YouTube channel, VlogCandy.  Won’t you join me?  Here we goooo!!!

In this post, I’ll be making a fake front page of a newspaper, and then answering some rapid-fire questions.  Here’s the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4DfW7DGK8c

The Challenge:

Well, I was really told to act as a newscaster and report my own made up current event.  That doesn’t really work as a blog, but hey! the wacky translations are part of the fun of this thing!

So I decided to make the front page of a fictional newspaper.  Here ye go:

The picture is from that old movie The Birds.  I haven’t seen it, but it’s in my Netflix queue.

Honestly, I’m not too happy with what I came up with.  I could have made it look more like a real newspaper, maybe made the article more ridiculous, maybe not misspelled a ton of words, but whatever.  (The best part is the story behind the idea.  A few years ago, in high school, I convinced a pretty gullible girl that seagulls were attacking yellow things.  I told her it was because they were becoming racist against another kind of bird, but that they were too dumb to tell the difference between a bird and a bus.  She believed every word of it.  I used to think I was a really good liar back then, but now I realize that it was just because I was surrounded by lots of  semi-dumb people.  I kind of miss it, though.  In college, it’s much harder to fool someone.)

The Blog:

Rapid-fire questions, GO!

  • Favorite food: fried dumplings.
  • Color of my room: lightish blue…?
  • Have I ever dyed my hair: no, but I was bright blonde until second grade and now I’m light brown.  Go figure.
  • Favorite childhood toy: this monster truck that you charged up by pulling a chord on its back, and then you hit a button and it zoomed off.
  • Favorite piece of clothing: Corona pajama pants.
  • Would I rather be in pics or take them: take them.
  • Favorite board game: my group actually made a board game called Zombie Easter Egg Hunt about a month ago for a class, and it’s pretty awesome.
  • What is the best season: Fall/Autumn.
  • Make up a scat: Scooby Dooby Doo-wop.  ‘S the best I got.
