Today, we had a substitute teacher in gym class. Our regular teacher usually just yells at us to run our routine laps. Not this substitute, he chases kids around with a forklift. We ran. Fast. MLIA.

Today i was driving with my family and saw a license plate that read EEK-666. I was the only one who laughed. MLIA.

Today is 01/11/10, which is a palindrome and also my 15th birthday. I woke up to the radio, which was playing "Fifteen" by Taylor Swift. My life is now complete. Two things that will never happen again. MLIA

A couple of days before Christmas, I was coming home from visiting my grandparents, and I saw a very dirty white van. Instead of the usual 'clean me' it had 'I'm dreaming of a white Christmas' written on it. Seasonal graffiti rocks. MLIA

Today, a friend of mine told me that whenever they were stuck in hotel rooms because of fans, the Beatles requested bubble wrap and would wrap themselves in it and roll down the stairs. Best band ever? I think so. MLIA

Today, I saw a cat being chased by a flock of pigeons. MLIA

Today, my GPS turned on randomly and said to say a command. I told it to make me a sammich. It gave me directions to a Subway. MLIA

Today, we were writing sentences about food in spanish. It took me a while to figure out the spanish word for quesedilla. MLIA.

Today, my pet fish had babies... and then ate them. I promptly went out to the kitchen and thanked my parents for not eating me when I was born. Their response: You're welcome, even though you were a big baby and would have been good eatin'. Thanks, Mom and Dad. MLIA.

Today, I needed my mom to sign a sheet for my school. I said "Hey mom, sign this." She asked what it was so I said, "I'm selling my soul to the devil, and since I'm still a minor I need your consent." She shrugged and signed. MLIA

Today, I wanted to prove that you could open the bathroom door after putting on hand lotion. I am writing this from inside my bathroom. MLIA

When I went off to college, I was extremely paranoid that I would talk in my sleep and say something embarrassing in front of my roommate. After a week, she informed me that I indeed talk my sleep, but apparently, all I do is meow. MLIA

Today, my great grandma told me her power was out so i couldn't call her and ask her how she was. She told me this in an email. i must be annoying. MLIA.

Today, I was watching Jersey Shore, when one of the girls said "I hate eating lobsters... they're alive when you kill them!!" I began to wonder what ISN'T alive when you kill it... MLIA.

Today, I was in a Starbucks with my friends. We were trying to figure out the lyrics to Puff the Magic Dragon. We didn't know the words very well and apparently that was obvious to the people around us. The guy next to us proceeded to teach us the lyrics and theatrically sing the song in the middle of the Starbucks. He stopped periodically to add encouraging comments to get us to sing along with him. After, he told us all to go home and research 60s folk music. The best part was, his kid was standing next to him, pulling his coat with an annoyed look on his face that said 'Not again...' MLIA.

One day, when I was in elementary school we had a substitute teacher. Everyone thought it would be funny to tell the teacher fake and unusual names. When it got to one of the boys he tells the teacher his name is Frank. The teacher didn't look impressed and asked "What's your REAL name." The boy was shocked and yells "ITS FRANK". The teacher still didnt believe him. His name really was Frank. MLIA

Today my roommate took a Facebook quiz that I made about how well people know me. One of the questions asked "what is my room number?" He got it wrong. MLIA

Today as I was walking to my next class, I saw my physics teacher pushing my calculus teacher (who was duct taped to the rolling chair) while whispering "I told you math can't solve everything." I love my school a bit more. MLIA.

I once heard a theory that you can tell a dog's intelligence level by covering a blanket and seeing how long it takes them to get out. To test this theory, I covered my dog (who is very stupid) in a blanket. Instead of trying to get out of the blanket, she curled up and went to sleep. Theory proved. MLIA.

I’m 16, and afraid there is a boogey man under my bed. Last night, I turned of my light, then ran to jump into my bed. I over estimated my jump, and hit the wall. MLIA

A couple of days ago, i found a rollie pollie on the floor. I named him Ernesto and made him a little house with twigs and leaves in a jar. Today, i noticed that Ernesto still hadn't come out of his little ball, so i picked him up and played with him. 15 minutes later, after no success, i learned that Ernesto isn't a rollie pollie, he is a bead. I'm keeping him anyway. MLIA

Today, my younger brother has to make my family dinner as his final for his high school cooking class. As it turns out, dinner's going to take longer than previously anticipated: he spent about an hour making himself a chef hat. I'm fine with this. MLIA

Today, my brother asked me if mammals were extinct. He's starting college soon. MLIA.

Today, after my teacher gave us a lecture on how you should turn off your cellphones during school, her phone rang. MLIA

Today, I asked my friend how to spell procrastinate. He responded with,"I don't know, I will figure it out later,". I laughed at the irony.

Today, my friends and I successfully convinced a girl that pineapples grow under the sea. Our Bio teacher agreed.MLIA

Today, my boyfriend sent me a text saying "Tonight. You and me, a bunch of scary movies, and a big ol' blanket for me to hide under so you won't see how scared I am. You game?" I'm so game. MLIA

Today I drove to my local supermarket only to find it was closed. Why? Somebody had snuck in the previous night and joined all the trolleys together to form a giant ring that took up the entire car park. To make it worse he had chained part of the giant trolley circle together making it impossible to dismantle. It took the employees six hours to rip it appart. If you are out there mystery prankster, I salute you. MLIA.

Today, I was choosing a brownie to eat off the plate, when I took one, and then put it back. My mother told me I had to eat the one I touched. I then proceeded to touch all of them. Guess who got 12 brownies? MLIA.

Today, I took my friend's Snickers bar at lunch and hid it in my purse. When she realized it was missing, she asked who took it. My whole lunch table told her her that she had already ate it. She believed us. MLIA

Today, in Science, we had to float a thumbtack in water. After many failed attempts, my partner and I built it a boat. We got full points. MLIA.

Today, I was debating with my friends about the shape of a certain spoon. I argued that it was like a square, but with round edges. I was then informed that what I was referring to was more commonly known as a circle. You win this round geometry. MLIA
