Today, I was forced to be brave and try a new food. I'm one of those people that cringes when I have to try a new brand of chips, let alone try something I've never eaten before. I was "invited" (forced) on this adventure today at the Asian market...
I say I tried a new food, when the reality is that I tried 3 new creatures.
Hello squid!
Not just squid, but dried shriveled chewy squid.
Also, I tried something that I can't pronounce, but it was white chewy bread with some sort of meat in the middle. I'm not even sure I want to know what's in it.
Last adventurous food? Some sort of leafy thing with a strange mush in the middle... I think the little clerk mentioned something about monkey, but I can't be sure.
I'll be back again soon with another adventure......

Tales of Boyfriends and Uncles...
So, today, my boyfriend accompanies me to my granny's(great-grandmother's) Christmas gathering and meets all of my mother's side of the family, or at least the ones that live in Missouri. When someone introduces him to my uncle Larry, the man is right in the middle of cutting the ham. And not gently, with a butterknife or something - no, going after the ham with a giant knife and a set of the giant prong things. Even that wouldn't be so bizarre if, not three days earlier, Adam hadn't come for Christmas with my dad's side and seen my Uncle Ross in the garage, in the process of skinning a deer. I had to explain that my family is not normally so obsessed with meat - since I am not much of a meat-eater myself, he was undoubtedly confused.
Then we hung out some with my cousins. My eight-year-old cousin Matthew proceeded to ask "Are you married?" His sister Abigail told him no, of course I wasn't married, then asked if I was engaged. This was all quite funny considering that I have only been seeing said boyfriend for four months, and that he had met no family other than the immediate members until three days prior to this.
That's my only randomness for the last few days, but more is certainly soon to come.

Thoughts of Today.... <3
So.... I am Danni. Danni I am.
It's Christmas Eve and I'm spending this holiday season with a random family I met two weeks ago. On a scale of one to random this is pretty far up there. I'm really enjoying it, but it's been a new experience....
I've had a lot of time to think about things...and these are a few of my major revelations:
1.) Cranberry juice plus apple juice= CRAPPLE JUICE!!
2.) Christmas is the only time it's okay to sit around a dead tree and put gifts in socks.
3.) Cooking is exciting.
4.) Concerning all my other revelations started with C...so I made another one so I could have four C's instead of 3.
Today I realized that I am in fact very easily distracted... I unraveled an entire sock because there was a thread sticking out.
ALSO!!!! Random awkward turtle moment: I went to the gas station today with my friend and her brother....
In this gas station were three VERY LARGE Rednecks in hunting garb. Now I was sitting quietly enjoying my warm banana cappucino not bothering anyone when the LARGEST of the LARGE Rednecks spoke to me and asked me to turn around so he could look at me. Now the fact that I was in Sterling, and had on a hoodie that loudly proclaimed that I live in Sterling, Kansas made me a lot less likely to let him see my face lest he decide to try to STALK ME!!!! Now, I told him that I had whiplash and couldn't turn around. This was of course a lie, but it was all about preservation, so I think I'll be forgiven. The crazy Redneck was apparently a nympho or something and then proceeded to tell his friends that I probably wouldn't turn around because I had a hickey on my neck. I do NOT in fact have a hickey on my neck, and his logic made me laugh. After hearing me laugh he assumed he was right and then asked me to turn around AGAIN so he could see my "kinky face". I laughed again. Laughing, I learned today, is not an effective way to make creepers stop talking. He asked me if I lived in Sterling or if I was going to the college here. I of course told him no, hoping he hadn't seen the front of my hoodie. ;) I think I made it out okay.....
LESSON LEARNED: When being creeped on, don't laugh.
Beware all girls being creeped on. Avoid catching the giggles.

Numero Uno...here we go...
Hey, random people...I don't know who reads these things...it's Kassy. So, my bestie Danni and I decided to create this all of an hour ago, because, well, our lives are really, really random. And we want to stay in touch and discuss the random things that happen to us, such as spending Christmas break with one's boss' family, or getting a call from a friend to buy four white roses and deliver them to a wedding to which you weren't invited.
First of all, let's see what all the little menu options do! Size change...bold...italics...font color change...
Okay, got that done. So, it's Christmas Eve, and here in good old Southeast Missouri, it's been raining all day. Rain? On Christmas Eve? Seriously? If you don't have the decency to give us snow, at least keep the weather clear.
So, my random post of the day...My six-year-old cousin, Sydney, is apparently a fantastic rapper. The words are kinda hard to understand, so I'll give my best interpretation below here, and some of it doesn't make a ton of sense, but you don't really need the words to see that the girl has skills. It's about my 14-year-old sister Hannah, and it should also be noted that Sydney is wearing Hannah's glasses. So here's the video:

And here are the lyrics:
I am Hannah Hess
And I bring it to you now!
I do the hokey pokey
And I turn myself around!
I got a cool phone
I am a cheerleader
*I can't understand this line*
I'm the best cheerleader!
I am a little cold
I have a cool jacket
I rhyme with a boot
And I like to...pack it!
W-w-w-word.
It's pretty good, right? Girl's got some potential. Well, that's all for now, and you should be hearing from my partner-in-crime pretty soon. I'll be back soon, with more randomness...my life never seems to be in short supply.
