Have you ever been so tired, you feel as though your face is sliding off? I'm pretty sure mine is dragging on the floor.

Working a full time job from 6am-3pm everyday and working a part-time job from 4:30-9:30pm is exhausting.

I know humans are technically animals, but...

Today my coworker, Ashley, asked me if I have ever thought about what kind of animal people would be. I have thought about this before, which you may know (as we may have discussed it together). Anyway, I decided to ask around and see what animal a few of my friends thought I would be. I will now list the animals people think I would be and how many people said I would be that animal.

Bengal Tiger (this person specifically said Bengal and the others didn't. That is why it gets its own count): 1
Doe (A deer, a female deer): 2
Fox (Because I have red hair. Not because I'm foxy): 1
Giraffe (I can clean my entire face with just my tongue): 1
Mouse (Because I chewed a hole through their everything): 2
Sugar Glider (look these things up on google or wikipedia. They are freaking sweet looking! Erin, you should try to draw a cartoon version of one of these. But it should also somewhat resemble me. teehee!): 1
Tiger (see "Bengal Tiger" above): 3
Tigger (Yes, apparently someone does think I would be Christopher Robin's stuffed tiger. This kinda makes me wish someone had said I would be Hobbes): 1

I guess tiger wins (for now). I got 4 1/2 votes for a tiger (Tigger isn't really a tiger, so he only counts as half a tiger. He's actually a little boy's stuffed animal. He is very hyper and loves eating malt. I love malt too).

Anyway,
If you didn't get the chance to tell me what animal I would be, you are welcome to do so by commenting below.
Thank you for amusing me.

Hello.

Hello. This is my first blog.
My roommate, Kaitlyn, says, "Blog is kind of a funny word." I agree with her. When I think of the word "blog" I imagine a big blob of goo falling onto a wood table and making a mess of everthing. Including your mind.
I'm keeping this first blog real short. Sorry if you expected more.
Well, until next time.
