hedge hogs!!!!

Apon my research of long eared and normal hedge hogs I came across a small disturbing fact:


"Hedgehogs were eaten in ancient egypt and some recipes in the middle ages."

I didnt know that! sad!

This is now day two of my hedge hog research. Hedge hogs have always been something I've loved to own. Maybe when I get a job (if that ever happens) I'll be able to afford the upkeep of a hedge hog. Their so cute! I didn't know there were albino hogs nor did I know some hedge hogs can to the size of two softballs! SCARRRYYY! Domestic Hedgehog's eat cat food while wild ones eat insects! The most common type of hedge hog sold in the united states would be the African pygmy hedgehog. Domestic Hedgehogs eat cat food! Foxes are the main predators to hedgehogs (wild hedgehogs)
Day three of my research. I just stumbled apon a website solely dedicated to selling hedgehogs online. I think it's a bit odd. I know it's not every rare to find animals home through the internet but I guess I never thought hedgehogs and such a following. This website is called Hoobly.com. A hedge hogs lifespan is 3 -8 years.

Friday 14

This is the opening line to Ella Wheeler Wilcox poem named: Solitude


"Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Weep, and you weep alone."

I enjoy this quote from her poem. You can look at this quote two different ways. One, in a positve outgoing manner, telling you always keep your chin up. Or two, ' When the funs over your the only one left to clean up' Or what ever something like that. I understand this quote and I like alot. I relate to it.

sooo 90's

Today I'm going to somewhat vent about mesh shirts in 2008.

Not only do I think mesh shirts are sooo 90's, creepy buff raver guy threads and popular pre teen goth accessories are the only people not sensible enough to leave the mesh shirt fad skeleton in their closets for good. I don't know what it is about a mesh shirt that would draw positive attention to a customer seeking one in a store. I also have no Idea why a designer cough cough Alessandro Dell Aqua would even think about sending a model down a catwalk in such a dreadful surrealist fabric.
I'm sadden to see American Apparel producing whole sale AND in store sales of mesh shirts. AA claims these mesh shirts are "good for layering" and "makes a plain shirt interesting again". No. Your not on a middle school touch foot ball team and hopefully your not a preteen boy lost and confused walking around some suburban mall half naked in mesh.

History as a writer: I used to write every single day when I was 12, 13 and 14 years old. I wrote songs, short stories (actually have been writing short stories since I was 10) and long stories. I dont know why I stopped. I think it's because I put alot of heart in my writing and felt embarrased to share with others. Im not so sure.
