  • Today I was reading the back of a donut box. It said for better taste, put in microwave for 10 seconds. It then showed a picture of bananas in a microwave. I've never been so confused. MLIA
  • Today, I was at an amusement park. I saw a guy that looked faintly like Robert Pattinson. Two girls screamed, "Edward!" And asked to take pictures with him. He politely declined. I said, "Cedric Digory lives!" He high fived me and offered to take a picture with me. I win. MLIA
  • After reading about my MacBook's Speech Recognition software on MLIA, I proceeded to test it out all day. I also created my own recognized keywords and responses. Now, when I say "Fetch me a danish" my computer replies scathingly, "No. Eat a salad, fatty." This way, I feel like my computer's always looking out for my health. MLIA
  • Today while driving home, I saw a cop car with a box of Krispy Kreme donuts on the back. I was really worried they'd fall off when the cop started driving, so I followed him. After a few turns I realized the box was glued on. I still followed the car for 5 miles trying to get a picture of it. The driver couldn't stop laughing and gave me a thumbs up. MLIA
  • Today, my brother broke a silver sharpie and showed his ink-covered hands to our sister, who had just watched the first harry potter movie, and told her he had killed a unicorn. It's been 10 hours and she still won't look him in the eye. My brother is 19 and my sister 20. MLIA
  • Today, I tried to open my snickers bar the same way they do in the commercials, by ripping off the top. It didn't work, all I did was mangle my snickers. MLIA
  • Today, I learned that my dad is the reason Batman wore a seatbelt in the original animated series. When he was a kid, he said he didn't need to wear a seatbelt because Batman didn't, so his uncle wrote to the company. They made an episode where Batman says to Robin, "We're not leaving until you put on your bat-belt!" MLIA.
  • Today I sneezed and no one said bless you. It made me feel sad. The person next to me sneezed and I screamed bless you in there face to make them feel appreciated. She looked a little frightned. MLIA
  • Today, I came back from a trip to China. While I was there, a friendly Chinese man asked me if Australian children rode to school on kangaroos. I convinced him that we did. You're welcome, Australia. MLIA
  • Today, while in Germany a girl asked me if high school in America was really the same as in all the movies. I convinced her everyday at school is just like High School Musical. Now, all of Germany will believe we randomly break out into song and dance.America, you're welcome. MLIA.
  • Today, my mom picked me up from the Amtrak station in our town, and driving back I pointed out a Korean Restaurant named Emo's. My mom quickly responded with, "Where the food cuts itself!",She is now my favorite parent. MLIA
  • Today, the kid I sponsored for the Make-A-Wish foundation sadly passed away without getting his wish fulfilled. One of his mini wishes was for his name to be posted on MLIA. Rest in peace, Jacob Andrew Motz. MLIA
  • Today, I went through the McD's drive through and ordered a #3 with a cinnamelt. I realized I did not have enough money for the cinnamelt so I quickly drove out of line and pulled in a parking spot by the door. I walked in and, almost as if puzzled as to what I should get, I ordered simply a #3. I was happy to have enough money for the essentials. The man proceeded to hand me a bag and said, "here. there's a cinnamelt in there for you too. some ass hole just drove off after ordering." MLIA
  • Today was national hug an Asian day. I wasn't exactly excited about it until after fifth period when I was running late for class a guy I didn't know ran up to and tackled me yelling "ASIAN!" This made my day that much better. MLIA

  • Today, my friends and I discovered that the student ID scanner we use for signing into our photography class will accept ANY barcode. We then spent the rest of the class signing in as many "students" as we could, including Bismol, Pepto, and Pepper, Dr. A productive class. MLIA
  • Today, one of my best friends who's last name is Bacon explained his dads name is Chris P. Bacon. Yes, that's right. MLIA
  • Today, I was in line at Starbucks but I was on the phone when the girl asked for my name. I'm a redhead, so I pointed to my hair and hoped she would get it and write "Ginger". I picked up my latte and she had written "Ginny Weasley". I love people. MLIA.
  • Today, I got separated from my sister while Halloween shopping, I turned down an isle looking for her and saw a giant dancing banana. It wasn't until I tried to pass this costumed person that I realized it was my sister. She's 23. MLIA
  • Today I was reading on MLIA about Anatidaephobia, the fear that a duck is watching you. I laughed, but looked around me anyways, just to be sure. On the kitchen table behind me was my little sister's rubber duck facing me. I am mildly concerned. MLIA
  • Today I noticed a sign on a door that said "This door is alarmed". Underneath it someone had written "What startled it?". MLIA.
  • I bought a pair of black "nerd glasses". I decided to wear them around my college campus. A guy wearing a button down shirt and "nerd glasses" ran up to me screaming "Lois Lane where have you been? I've looked all over for you!" He then took off his glasses and unbuttoned his shirt revealing a superman t-shirt underneath. Needless to say Lois Lane and Clark Kent are going out on Friday night. MLIA
  • Today, I went to the bakery to get a cake, and my mom agreed I could pick out any one I wanted. Tomorrow we will be picking up a cake with a volcano and a giant motion-activated dinosaur that roars and has light-up eyes. Tomorrow is my sweet sixteenth birthday party. MLIA.
  • Today, I asked my three year-old cousin what she wanted to be for Halloween. Expecting to hear something like a princess, I was shocked when she told me that she wanted to be a ceiling fan. Favorite cousin ever. MLIA
  • Today, I was driving in the car with my 6 year old son. The song "Party in the U.S.A" came on the radio. After it was over, my son asked me, "Mommy, do you know why she says that the butterflies fly away?" After saying no, he proceeded to tell me that the butterflies were scared of her face. I've never felt more proud. MLIA
  • Today, I was arguing with my sister. I said "you're stupid" She said "your mom is stupid" so I said "your dad is stupid." She then went "your sister is stupid." I win.
  • Today I was sitting outside of Starbucks. A teenage girl walked by wearing a T-shirt reading "Bite Me. (Vampires Only)." I then see a nine-year-old girl walk up to this teenager, bite her arm, and say "Harry Potter pwns," and then walk away. Her mother then told her, "Good job, sweetie." MLIA
  • Today, when I was in the lift, a little boy asked me why my teeth were wearing necklaces. I shall never call them braces again. MLIA

  • Today, I was eating at McDonald's with my friend. I had some fries and was saving the biggest one for last. When my friend asked me if she could have a fry, I said yes in hopes that she wouldn't take that fry. She didn't. I was relieved. MLIA.
  • Today I walked by a soda vending machine. I decided to press the button for fun. A drink came out. It was the best day of my life.
  • Today, my brother was in front on me on the roller-coaster when his hat flew off, I caught it, I considered it to be one of the coolest things I've ever done, MLIA.

  • Yesterday, I went to order a burrito at Taco Bell. The man working at the counter responded, "Sorry, we're out of burritos." I thought he was serious, so I looked for something else on the menu. He then said, "I was kidding, this is Taco Bell. Of course we have burritos." I felt awkward and naive. MLIA
  • Today, someone sent me a chain letter. It said that a clown would be in my bedroom tonight, with a knife to kill me at 3:19AM, if I did not send the message to other people. I decided not to since I was sleeping over my friends house. I then laughed on the inside when I tried to imagine how confused a clown murderer would be, standing in my bedroom, with me not there. MLIA
  • Today I drove through McDonalds and got a McFlurry. Then I decided that I wanted a pie, too, so I drove through again. The guy at the window asked me how the ice cream was and I felt like we bonded. MLIA
  • Today, I decided I was going to make myself a healthy salad for lunch when I realized there were no clean forks. Instead of washing one I gave up on my salad and went to mcdonalds.MLIA
