Obituary

We are heartbroken to announce that Nails, belonging to Lily, passed away this afternoon.

Nails served honorably as close friends to Fingers, as well as its long-distance relations; Toes. Its parents, Hands, are devastated at their loss, and are in the process of being consoled.

Nails lived a short life; only one month, and we are disheartened at hearing that the possibility of Nails continuing its journey through life has ended so abruptly.

There are rumors that Violin was to blame, for in the past it forced Hands unwillingly to control the growth of their children. Nails was their first successful child to grow up healthy and happy for an extended time, after Violin mysteriously disappeared during the summer.

Before Nails’ tragic death, it was heard that Violin had come back, and was angered at hearing Hands had disobeyed his orders, so ordered them to take care of it.

This is but mere speculation; nothing is certain as the police are still investigating. Meanwhile, let us have a moment of silence in remembrance of Nails and its mourning parents…

I'm back... and tann!!

Yes, I am FINALLY making a post. :P

Well the beach was awesome!!! A little after we arrived, the Currins, Virginia, and us wanted to see if we could take some pictures of the horses, so we drove over to the beach they're known to be seen at. Buut.. we met this guy on the way there who said he was just down there and hadn’t seen anything. Apparently they don't show until 6am. -.-
But we did get to hang out at the beach and take pretty piccies. :)


The whole first half of the week (Monday-Wednesday) we went searching for the horses on the beach at 6am. And of course we didn't see any. :( The beach was so full I was really doubting we were going to see any anyway, because they would probably be scared by all the cars. :\

Luke was wearing his Corona jacket type thinget, and it kept billowing out behind him when we were riding in the back of the truck, so we poked it. :D hehe And Casey's American Red Cross shoes made interesting prints in the sand... ;P



There was also this humvee on the beach with a gun on it. Seriously. o_o
And that guy is way too tan. -.-


Tuesday Luke, Virginia and I went up on the Currituck lighthouse, with about 241 steps. ‘:| It was our second time, though, so it wasn’t as “amazing” as last time. ;) But it was still pretty cool.
We were fine with the height until Luke brought up how it would feel if we fell. -.-


When we got down, there was this pit thing at the center of the floor with like a million dollars in it!! 8O Okay, not really, but it was a freakin lotta money. :o


Before the Currins & VA left Wednesday afternoon, we went to this awesome aquarium. It was reallyy cool. It had a giant aquarium full of sharks and ginormous tuna that, from their tail to their head, they'd come up to over my knees. :o My camera has such a slow shutter speed I took a movie instead. :P



They also had this really cool touching tank with sting rays in it. 8D But I was too scared to touch it. * ahem * I couldn't tell how deep the water was. ....>.> Moving on..



So after the aquarium we went back to the beach house to find the Wills ransacking the place. ;) Wednesday and Thursday were both stormy all day, so we couldn't go to the beach. :( But Friday was finally clear, and the ocean was awesome and rough cuz of the rain. I'm very proud of myself too, cuz there were jellyfish all over the place but I still went in. ;P A few dozen waves even crashed on me with about 5 jellyfish in them, right on top of me. Aheh...

For the last night there, we got to go out to eat! We went to The Black Pelican, which was originally the first telegraph office on the Outer Banks.
I got steak. (haha, so original, ahem) I was going to get a plate with swordfish and shark, but I wasn't sure if I would like it, and I would have to finish it all so..yeah. :( But my mom got the swordfish special and I got to taste it. Sooooo good!!! :) It tastes like tuna. ;P

They had these super cool surfboards on the ceiling, and a huge stuffed swordfish hanging on the window. (Jeanna decided to lose this awesome pic I took of it, so I only have Julia's face pic of it. aHEM. ;P) My camera broke, btw. It got sand all in the lens and it keeps having this "lens error". >.< Ah well..
