(Except there are two dots on top of the U)
If anyone needs to help themselves think of weird things (e.g. some of the posts on Ananka's Diary) as less gross, I recommend a trip to the Mutter Museum. Although you'll be grossed out of your wits, things like swarms of rats and floating feet will have little to no effect on you. What other museum warns you before the tour that 'if you're disturbed, you can wait outside,' and says that 'you're dressed for the occasion' if your shirt has a skull on it? (If you know, please tell me!)I won't put any pictures up because:
1. Some people might NOT want to see the exhibits.
2. I have no pictures, as cameras are not allowed.
3. You could always check it out here.

Make a Language!
By far better than codes, languages make it much harder to crack your secret messages, and you can use them out loud. But learning French or Spanish might backfire, as other people know them. So why not make one that only you and your trustworthy associates know? This is a great help, though last time I checked the server was down. Wikihow has several helpful articles. I suggest looking at a couple and combining them.

All *I* Did was String Beads and Sing Songs
In World War I, the Girl Guides (English and Canadian equivalent to Girl Scouts) acted as couriers for secret messages from the British counter-intelligence agency. Professional messengers were needed in the war office at the time, so they decided to use the Boy Scouts. It didn’t work out. Their replacements, the girls, were mostly ranging from fourteen to eighteen in age and were paid eight shillings a week plus food. Like other agents they were sworn to secrecy, but no one suspected them.
(Above: The Girl Guides' motto: be prepared.)

I Actually am a Brunette...
Dumb Blonde Test by QuizRocket.com Funny Quizzes!
MySpace Quizzes | Stupid Test | Fun Quizes.
I'm actually surprised I got 'not blonde' since I'm sort of slow... One time my bus parked the opposite direction than it normally does, and I actually started walking away from my house because I didn't notice! Luckily my friend turned me around before I ended up in Florida or something.

Are you afraid of the DARK...?
Hey, everyone, it's summer, which is good, unless you have Thermophobia, the fear of heat. Or you might have Arachibutyrophobia, the fear of having peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth. If I had to choose one, however, I think I'd like Lachanophobia, so I'd have a reason to avoid vegetables. Check out for more phobias. (Above: I hope you don't have Cyberphobia!)

What Have I Been Up To?
Besides a dance, I've been spending my time reading this. It's pretty funny! I'll dig up something weird before I leave for camp.

My Must-Visit Tourist Attraction
The above photo was not photo-shopped in any way... well, it might have been, but the actual thing is real (I know someone who's been there). General 'Stonewall' Jackson was a General for the Confederate army during the civil war. He was shot by his own troops by mistake and lost his left arm to amputation. He was so important that they buried his arm with an actual funeral. He died a few days before the battle of Gettysburg, leaving General Robert E. Lee to lose both the battle and the war.
