NOT GULLS, YOU MORON!!!

February 5th, 2010 Posted in Uncategorized

some nice person named darla left me a comment saying that all those white geese weren’t gulls, they’re SNOW GEESE.  i thought it was very nice of her to point this out to me, but since i don’t know darla i decided i’d better verify it with jim, who i know knows EVERYTHING about all birds and he said, yes, they’re snow geese.

well, he didn’t actually SAY that, he texted it to my phone, because my sister and brother-in-law pretty much mostly just communicate via text-messaging.  he also wrote “they make a higher-pitched honk (almost like a whistle).”

i wouldn’t have ever known that all that noise they were making was a HIGHER-PITCHED honk.  i assume it’s higher-pitched than the honk of a regular, non-snow goose?

darla also commented that there might be some ROSS’S GEESE in there.  i wonder what one of those looks like?  and what kind of honking they do?

I’m woefully ignorant, about so many things…the other night i was playing this game on the website freerice.com.  it’s a vocabulary game, and when you guess the correct meaning of a word they then (allegedly) donate some rice to people in need.  it’s a fun game plus you’re doing good for somebody when playing, and you should check it out.  i usually do pretty well until they increase the challenge-factor and all of a sudden they’re words i’ve never seen before but even then i can sometimes guess correctly.

but then the other night i saw that there are other categories, like chemistry and math and geography and naming world capitals.  of course i sucked at chemistry and was pretty pathetic at math; i’d already known this about myself.  but now i know that i DON’T KNOW WHERE ANYTHING IS.  it’s a miracle i can find my way across town.

it was multiple choice, too, which should have made it easier – unless you’re CLUELESS about the places.  it kept showing the part of the map where norway, sweden, the netherlands and denmark are located, and one of the countries was highlighted and you had to pick which one it was.

because it was so late at night and i was so tired (yes, and RIDICULOUSLY IGNORANT about where anything is!!!), not only did i guess wrong, but they kept giving me the same question and i continued to guess wrong and i know that right now i could not tell you which one is which.

because i was doing so badly the questions got easier and easier, and finally MEXICO was highlighted. YOU’D HAVE TO BE REALLY REALLY DUMB TO NOT KNOW WHERE MEXICO IS.

at least i know where mexico is.  but don’t expect me to pick out malasyia or thailand or turkmenistan (or to spell them correctly).

because kevin is now taking not one but TWO classes at lincoln land, i’ve been (very very slightly) thinking about taking some kind of class.

but now it is clear that instead of taking a community college class i should just GO BACK TO JUNIOR HIGH.

that’s where i should have learned the geography.  somehow because i changed schools a few times, i never really had any geography classes.  do they even have geography class, or is it part of some other class?  hmm, like what other class, grace, like french?

at least i don’t have to go back to junior high.

ok, i must go to bed now so i can avoid looking at the IMMINENT SNOW FALLING.

ok ok ok,

woefully ignorant grace.
