cherryFirst off: Lindy, you should either get a comments thing for your DiaryX, cross post to LJ (Simply copy and paste :p ), switch to Blog, or be on AIM every once and awhile. Because we all feel uninteresting sometimes, not just you. Heck, I'm rarely ever interesting, and I keep thinking that it's something I should work on.
We have a plague of grasshoppers. Seriously, they're awful. When you're driving, they're just thump-thump-thump against the hood and windshield. When you're walking in the city you can't take a step without at least one flying away from you. It's insane. I can't wait until the fall, when there's the Maple Bug plague as well. ::Muttermutter::
'Dogma' rocks. Alanis and Janeane Garfalo rock. (Yes, I know I spelled her name wrong. I'd welcome corrections.) Alanis makes such a cute God.
We've had something like three inches of rain in the last two weeks. That more than doubles the amount of precipitation we've had since January. We planted oats in the slough bottoms, since all of the sloughs were dried out, but now they may drown. Who'd of thought we'd have water in the sloughs? All of our crops aren't going to drought out now, but with all this rain and cool weather their development has been set back, and with the chances of early frost... We may lose more that way.
Apparently, when I try on bright yellow shirts, my hair looks green. It's... well, rather odd.
I'm back to school on the 29. We're... In grade 12 now. We're graduating in a few months. This is odd as well.
Also in the 'odd' category: They used to have beavers the size of bears, did you know that? And the mountain beaver bears no relation at all to the normal beaver. It's the last surviving member of the Aplodontia, a primitive rodent family.
Oh! And ambergris, the fixative used in most perfumes and colognes, comes from sperm whale dung. It's what they use to bind together the beaks of the giant squids they eat.

And, I'm hoping that all of your crops go well, and all. *crosses fingers and thinks good thougths at them*
Good luck whe you're back at school dearheart. Hope that they don't give you too much work.
Mwha.
