Anti-Perfection

Long time no post... The reason why I haven't posted in a while is because of this battle with perfection.

Everything has to be perfect. And it's not me wanting everything to be perfect. I should be the one who wants everything to be perfect. It's everyone else, they all want me to be perfect.

Everyone is looking for perfect. Perfect grades, perfect writing, perfect scores, perfect dancing, perfect singing, perfect relationships, perfect skin, perft eyes, perfect voices, perfect CRAP.

When someone wants something "perfect," it truly bugs me. I actually HATE perfection. I know I am not perfect.

I do not have perfect grades. Confession: I got a C in Trig last year. Not perfect. Do I care? No.

I do not have perfect writing. Confession: There are probably a dozen typos in this blog post. Not perfect. Do I care? No. Not at all.

Never call me perfect. Never request perfection from me. I can give you "next to perfection," but I will not give you perfection. In fact, if you request perfection from me, I'll give you crap instead.

Because I hate perfection.

End of rant.

A Public Apology to Moo-Moo's, Livers, and Lovers of the Moo-Moo Liver

Dear poor baby Moo-Moo's liver that I had for dinner last night:


I'm so sorry you had to stop what you were doing so you could be my dinner. My iron has been low and I was desperate last night. Although you are the "perfect" source of all the iron and proteins I'll ever need, the bad breath I had to endure last night made you totally not worth it. I'm sorry, but I have to declare you as a "bad eats." Maybe next time, buddio.


♥always,
Meago


PS: Your companion, Onions, was and always will be the best. Just saying.
PPS: In all honesty, you didn't taste that bad. But you didn't taste that good, either.
PPPS: I must now result to Spinach now. Great. I feel another rejection letter coming on.

The Cricut Imagine... and it's Demonic Possession!!

My aunt bought the Cricut Imagine less than a week ago on the HSN. It's a nice little machine... It prints and cut! I was very surprised last week when I got the phone call that she actually bought it. She swore she would NEVER buy any Cricut machine. But, this one stole her heart. It's really an awesome machine... But to our luck, we got the faulty one.

This is a demonic possession that holy water can't even fix!

None the less, my aunt had to send it back. We're hoping that the next one is not so... um, creepy. But it's just our luck, we always get faulty scrapbooking toys. The Cropidile was faulty at first for us, and we had to send that back too. 

But I have no doubt that the Imagine is going to be AWESOME! :) I'm so excited for it to come back! 

Once Upon a Saturday: Indy the SquirrelSaver!

ONCE UPON A TIME...


There was a very nice, beautiful big sister who was also a Super Hero. Her name was Indy.

New and Improved SUPER Indy. :)

Indy may be known for a lot of things. She is known as Meago's awesome big sister. She is known as the mother to three of the coolest kids around. She is known for being the wife to this super awesome dude who makes some reeeally good popcorn. 

But Indy had a special talent, which made her a super hero. Whenever a baby squirrel was in trouble, she would rescue it and take care of it until the squirrel was big enough to be released.

Just a handful of this season's babies. :)

Indy didn't really have many enemies... Except for one...

THE EVIL FAT CAT MONSTA. 

The Evil Fat Cat Monsta used to always bully squirrels around. But after the years went by, he had one too many bud lights (as you can see), and had quite the tough time getting around. But to Indy's dismay, and to the dismay to squirrels across the world, she got a letter from this nuisance in the mail.

Indy,

I have kidnapped all the baby squirrels from their mothers.

I want a million bazillion gajillion dollars, or else those mommies

won't be getting their babies back. BUAHAHAHA *burp* AHAH.

-The Evil Cat Monsta

PS: Will accept kitty treats.

PSS: Or beer. *BURP*

Indy sighed. Or screamed. Maybe it was both. She had so much to do. 

"STUPID CAT MONSTA!!" She yelled. "I have to clean the house still! Oh well. I better get going."

So, of course, Indy Hops into her... INDYMOBILE!!

Of course, Meago. Of course.

In her INDYMOBILE, Indy drives over to the Evil Cat Monsta's secret lair.

A Cat Pueblo... SO SCARY!

Indy climbed into the Evil Cat Monsta's room through his window and located the baby squirrels in a room. She almost made it out of the evil lair without being caught, but then the Evil Cat Monsta rolled in... Literally. 

"What are you doing?" the Evil Cat Monsta hiccuped. "Where's my money? Or my cat treats? Or my beer?"

Indy smirked. "I have something better!" She pulled out a point lazer, and the Evil Cat Monsta went crazy.

"WHY AM I SO AMUSED BY THIS LITTLE RED DOT? WHY IS IT MOVIING?" The Evil Cat Monsta shrieked. 

Indy pointed the lazer to a door that was just a bit too small for the Evil Cat Monsta. He sprung over and got stuck in the door way. "I'M STUCK. CURSE YOU INDY!" the Evil Cat Monsta hiccuped again and fell asleep in the doorway. 

Indy brought home all the squirrels to their mommies, and everyone lived happily ever after. And, of course, she got home in time for her BIRTHDAY PARTY!! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY INDY! :) ♥

THE END! :)

Once Upon a Saturday: Cuh-atie

ONCE UPON A TIME...


...There was a cool chickaroonie. Her name was Cuh-atie.

            Cuh-atie :)

Cuh-atie was super awesome for a lot of reasons. One of her awesome traits was that she was a super flag master. She was a member of the super elite super women group*... COLOR GUARD!

Cuh-atie with her flag. 

But one day, while she was practicing mega-awesome tricks with her flat, her flat mysteriously vanished in mid-air.

"Oh noooo!" cried Cuh-atie. "My flag!!!"

Cuh-atie came panicking to her super awesome cousin who was also a detective, Meago.

Meago the Detective. No comments from the

peanut gallery, please.

"What's wrong, Cuh?!" Meago asked.

"My flag! It disappeared!" Cuh-atie cried. "I need your help!"

"That's no prob, Cuh!" Meago smiled. "It's time to investigate."

Cuh-atie and Meago traveled back to the scene of the crime. Meago spotted an eye-witness. 

"Have you seen any suspicious activity in the past 24 hours?" Meago interrogated. 

The eye-witness was a SQUIRREL. Go figure, Meago...

Go figure...

Then, out of the blue, the eye-witness scurried off.

"FOLLOW HIM!" Meago yelled.

Meago and Cuh-atie darted off and followed the eye-witness to his home. He lived in a tree... (Gee, I wonder why.)

And there it was... Cuh-atie's flag was leaning up against the tree.

"My flag!!" Cuh-atie rejoiced and hugged her flag. "How did it get here?"

Meago sighed. "I'm not going to say that eye-witness was the one who took your flag... Because he's a squirrel... And quite frankly, Indy would kill me for making that accusation on a squirrel."

I love you, Indy! :)

"Not to mention how hard it would be to incarcerate a squirrel. Have you ever tried to incarcerate a squirrel?!" Meago said. "Cased Closed!"

In the end, Cuh-atie got her flag back. She kept practicing until she turned into a super hero. 

Cuh-atie the Super Hero. :)

And she lived happily ever after.

THE END. ♥

*Yes, I'm aware that there is one male species in your super elite super women group. But the women over dominate, therefore... He's over domniated. SESWG it is.

I wrote L♥VE on my arms today.

I hope you did too.

But if you did not,

that's okay.

Just remember,

to L♥VE one another

and

to L♥VE yourself.

No matter who you are,

what you are,

or where you are...

Someone L♥VES you.

♥always,

Meago :)

Results from the Quizaroooo! :)

Before I give you the winner of this contest, I will review the correct answers to all 7 questions. 


1.) What is my favorite color?
My favorite color is lime green. I also like hot pink, so if you put that down I may have given you credit.

2.) What is my favorite number?
This one was a tricky one. Only a few people know my favorite number, but it is 9. I have no idea why, it just is.

This episode of Once Upon a Meago was brought

to you by... the number 9!

3.) What is my worst subject area?

Many of you guys answered that English was my worst subject area. Many of you guys are very incorrect, because English is typically my forte. The correct answer here is Math. Any of you who know me seriously know that my relationship with Math is not a pretty one.

You should be scared, Math.

4.) How many pets do I have?

The correct answer here is 3. I have a dog and two cats.

My dog, Saucer. He's a German Shepard/Chow mix.

This is my cat Billy.

This is my other cat, Elsie. 

5.) What is my favorite meal, EVER?!

Chicken wings, duhh guys. I dedicated a whole blog post to it, go here for more info.

I also accepted Bell Peppers and Sautéed Onions as an answer. I love love love love LOVE Bell Peppers and Onions. YUMMM. ♥

6.) I spend my summers doing what?

Typically, every summer, I spent a good while in New Jersey. I have family up there and I work at Al & Sam's Canoe and Kayak Rentals, which is owned by my relatives who live up there. So, if you are ever in the New Jersey area, go to Al & Sam's! (end of endorsement)

Then, I come home for maybe a week or so. After I am home for a bit, we all pack up and go to the beach for 2-3 weeks. Yes, we are spoiled. Yes, we enjoy it. :)

This year was different. We spent a week in New Jersey during the beginning of the summer, and then we came home. After about a month, we went to the beach for 2 and a half weeks. Then we came home, and at the end of the summer we went back to New Jersey to watch a Phillies baseball game. (And yes, Washington Nationals KICKED OUR BUTTS!! BOO.)

7.) What school activities do I participate in?

This one is tricky, because I am involved with so many extra curricular activities. But, here we go.

• International Thespian Society
• Showchoir/Chorus
• Musical Theatre
• Senior Class Homebase Rep (That takes up every Tuesday of my senior year, so YES that counts.)
• Tri-M

That may not seem like a lot... But trust me, it is. 

And finally, the moment we've all been waiting for... THE WINNER IS....

MY CUH, KATIE. :) ♥

Katie answered got the highest score, which was about 15 points. I don't know, I may of lost count. But she's pretty awesome. She knows her cousin well. :) Katie will be featured in this week's episode of Once Upon a Saturday... So stay tuned! :)

And the Winner isssss...

BRITTNEYYYYY! :)

(Duh.)

Brittney pretty much won this Poke War. She had Kenny beat so badly that he had to throw in the towel!!! Kenny still tried, though, so you have to give him credit for that! 

The winner for my Quizaroo will be announced TOMORROW. So, if you haven't already, drop by and try for a chance to win a feature in Once Upon a Saturday! :)

Until then, lovelies. ♥

Once Upon a Saturday: The Adventures of Aty Part 4

Last time, on The Adventures of Aty...

Aty hops in her ATYMOBILE and travels to...

...Jesup, Georgia. It's like Jesus and Ketchup!

Then she finds the original JESUP (Jesus Ketchup).

She uses it to cure Meago of Octopusism. :)

ONCE UPON A TIME...

Aty and Meago, both being normal human beings, decided to come up with a plan to save Oni from the Fortress of Sad Feelings!

"We could dress up like lollipops as a disguise!! No one will ever know it's us!" Meago joyfully exclaimed.

"Meago, WTF is up with your ideas?" Aty groaned.

So, Aty hopped into her ATYMOBILE and Meago hopped into her...

MEAGOTAAAAAANK! =D

(The other dude in the tank with me is a

hitch hiker. ☺)

Meago and Aty drove from Meagoland to Texas on the hunt for Oni. Finally, they arrive and they got into costume!

Then, Aty and Meago somehow walked into the Fortress of Sad Feelings without being noticed... AT ALL.

After much parading around the Fortress of Sad feelings, Aty and Meago finally find where Oni was located. And trust me, he was in soooo much trouble. 

"ONIIIII!" Aty Snarled. "I thought you were in dire trouble!"

"I waas," Oni whined. "I was soooo bored."

"You made us come all the way out here because you were bored, Oni?" Meago sighed.

"No, that wasn't the only reason..." Oni winked. "I wanted a feature on your blog, ya know?!"

Add caption

"ONI!" It's all about me! ;)

"Great," Aty pouted. "Now I'm never going to beat the Evil Hat Monsta!"

"The Evil Hat Monsta?!" A lightbulb turned on above Oni's head. "I know that guy!"

"WUUT?  HOW?!" Aty's jaw dropped.

"He's my mom's aunt's cousin's brother's wife's mom's grandfather's best friend's uncle's girlfriend's father's daughter's teacher's nephew's grandson's father's sister's boss." Oni smiled while Aty and Meago grew a very puzzling look on their faces. "I see that dude all the time at family dinners. He's a real jerk. And he's allergic to sugar. You know how hard it is to cook for a guy who isn't allowed to eat sugar? I really don't understand how he's so fat and everything..."

"WAIT!" Meago interrupted Oni. "You're telling me that The Evil Hat Monsta is allergic to sugar?" Meago turned to Aty. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

Aty smiled wide. "Yes I am!"

The three friends drove from Texas to the Evil Hat Monsta's house. Aty and Meago, both still dressed in their Lollipop costumes, went to knock on his door. The Evil Hat Monsta answered the door, and quickly melted away after seeing Aty and Meago in all their lollipopness.

Oni then ran into his house and grabbed the sacred hat... the hat that would complete Aty's collection.

AND THE WEINER IS... ATYYYY!

(pun intended)

THE END! ♥ ☺

Yeah dude, I won a purse! :)

Two weeks ago, I was having the CRAPPIEST day ever. Seriously. THE WORST. But to my luck, I won a contest for this awesome purse. :) The lovely Annah from Red Means Go! sponsored this contest, and if you seriously love this bag... Shoot her an email. She knows where to get them. ;)

Anyway, I'm sorry I'm several days late on getting these pictures taken. But, here they are now! :)

Me with the purse.

Duck face!

Gangsta duck face!

Yeah, I take most of my pictures in my

bathroom. Don't judge me. c(:

I seriously love this purse! Thanks Annah! :)

♥

Now let the games begin!

Two good friends of mine (who conveniently have blogs at 11Chicken and Brittney Michelle) are in a bit of a quarrel. They are in one of those never ending Facebook poke battles... Yeah, you all know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, they figured out a solution. They decided to let ME pick the winner. And you all know me, I cannot make a decision to save my life.

So, here is how I am going to pick the winner. This competition is limited to ONLY Kenny and Brittney. Sorry guys, you all will have a chance later to compete for the title of awesomeness.

Now, here is the criteria:

1) You must write a story (much like my Once Upon a Saturday stories, only with your own style).
2) Your post must revolve around me, as I will be the main character of your story (Yes, I know... I am a little bit narcissistic. =P)
3) You will be graded on creativity, originality, visual images, etc. (Man, I feel like an English teacher....)
4) Flattery is awesome. AKA... If you blow me up in your story, you better have a good reason. Because the one I like best will be the one to win. Honestly, I don't like being blown up most of the time.
5) I cannot stress... BE CREATIVE! Draw pictures! Meago loves pictures! =D

The deadline is THIS SATURDAY.

May the best "Poker" win. :)

Rubber Ducky, you're the one...

...that makes bath time lots of fun.

Once Upon a Saturday will be posted tomorrow. I am too lazy. But don't complain, I drew you guys a picture. :)

You always have to stop...

This isn't the stop sign I wish I could post a picture of,

But I can't walk around the corner at this time of night.

I painfully pass by this stop sign every day.

But in all honesty, that's okay.

One week later,

It's just a

Stop 

Sign.

Today I am a Super Hero

I never said I wasn't a creepy super hero.

And so MEAGOMAN is born.

How politically incorrect is that?! :)

Once Upon a Saturday: The Adventures of Aty Part 3

Last time on The Adventures of Aty...

Aty gets an awesome car.

Oni gets captured by some evil Texan force and is taken

to the Fortress of Sad Feelings.

Meago turns into an octopus. Figures.

"Great!" Aty sighed. "Meago can't do anything if she's an octopus. She can't even give this story a decent plot, because she can't type."

"JKAJDLFKDJCUIEJEKNEKJJLKA" said Meago.

The only way Aty could save Oni is if she turned Meago back into her original life form... She wasn't quite sure if Meago was human or not, but whatever. She was going to do her best.

So, Aty hopped into her ATYMOBILE and drove to Jesup, Georgia. Why Jesup, you ask?

Jesup? It's like Jesus and Ketchup! :D

True Story.

Anyway, Aty finally arrived to this city called Jesup. No one here knew who Meago was, but that didn't matter. Meago apparently had a strange obsession with this city. It was her mission to discover why.

She interviewed several citizens of the city. "Why is this city so important?!?" she asked.

One citizen answered, "We have an Amtrak station!"

"We have an airport!" said another.

"RANDALL BRAMBLETT WAS BORN HERE!" insisted another citizen.

"Who the heck is that?" questioned Aty.

The strange citizen shrugged. "That's what it said on our Wikipedia page."

Aty was close to giving up. She was sad because Meago turned into an octopus. She was sad because Oni was still trapped in the Fortress of Sad Feelings. She was sad because her banana mobile was almost out of gas and she missed her kitty. But that was besides the point. As she was about to pack herself in her ATYMOBILE, she heard angels sing.

"What's that?!" Aty cried out. She turned around, and there it was.

The Original "Jesup"

"This is just what Meago needs!" Aty rejoiced. "She loves Jesus, and she loves Ketchup. She's sure to turn back into a non-Octopus after she drinks this!"

Aty packed up the Jesup in her ATYMOBILE and somehow made it back to Meagoland on an empty tank of gas. 

Meago was just flopping around when Aty showed up. "MEAGO DRINK THIS!!"

The strange octopus drank the Jesusly Blessed Ketchup and turned back into a normal Meago.

It's like going to church and having a hot dog...

ALL AT THE SAME TIME! ♥ :)

You poor reader, I keep leaving cliff hangers for you. I'm sure you're wondering what's going to happen with Oni. Is Aty going to be able to make it from Meagoland to Texas on an empty tank of gas? Can Aty afford to fill her gas tank? Can Aty accomplish all this on her own?

Until next Saturday...

I've created a lot of evil monsters...

But none are as terrifying as the...

THE EVIL BRUSSEL SPROUT PONY!!!! 

The Evil Brussel Sprout Pony is to blame for all the bad things that happen in this world. The death of MJ? Yep, blame the EBSP. The fall of the economy? You can blame that on the EBSP too. The reason why I'm blogging today?! YES! You are correct. The Evil Brussel Sprout Pony is to blame!

And the more I talk about all this, I realize that my life is like a very freaky fairy tale. For example: Rumpelstiltskin and Cinderella. Two very creepy fairy tales. 

Oh well, I blame the EBSP. 

Until next time.

Wow.

People really upset me when they tell me that I'm perfect. I'm not, and I know that I'm not.

Then they get mad at me when I'm not perfect. I'm too angry, I'm too sad. Well, I warned you. I'm not perfect. No where near perfect.

I'm the biggest loser on the face of this planet.

Until next time...

Flowers Must be Watered.

This is a public service announcement. I would like to let you all know that if you do not water your flowers, they will die. On a regular basis, you should water you flowers. You should also, on occasion, fertilize your flowers and pull the weeds that are located in the bed of the garden. Why is this recommended? ...BECAUSE YOUR FLOWERS WILL DIE IF YOU DO NOT WATER THEM.

Please, do not blame your flowers if they die on you. If you are too busy to water your flowers, then you are taking a very big risk of your beautiful flowers dying. Flowers bring happiness. Dead flowers bring sadness. You do not want to be sad, now do you Reader?

Again, I repeat, DO NOT BLAME YOUR FLOWERS IF THEY DIE. It is no one's fault but your own. Many people actually blame their flowers for dying, when they really did not give a red cent about their poor flowers. Please, do not get mad at your flowers because they have died. You declined to water them in the heat of the day. You declined to pull the weeds in their garden beds. You declined to fertilize them. You declined to love them. 

Now, if your flowers have not died yet, please take the time to go water them. Love your flowers. They love you.

That is all.

Once Upon a Saturday: The Adventures of Aty Part 2

Last time, on Once Upon a Saturday...

Oh noooo! Aty VS. Monsta?!

ONCE UPON A TIME...

Aty was about to fight this Evil Monsta... but then her pocket started ringing. She was getting a phone call at the wrong time, seriously...

"Hold up Monsta-Dude, I gotta take this..." She takes her phone out.

Her BFF Oni was calling her. Whaddaheck?

"Oni, what do you want?" Aty sighed. "I'm about to fight this monsta."

"Monsta can wait, dummy!" Oni cried. "I HAVE GOTTEN ABDUCTED!!!"

"Saaaay whaaa?!" Aty hung up her phone and looked at the Monsta. "Yo, monsta... I gotta split, can I reschedule this duel?"

The Monsta burped in response. "...Okay. I'll take that as a yes." Aty then ran to her ATYMOBILE and called Oni back.

ATYMOBILE

Oni picked up his phone. "COME SAVE ME I'M IN TEXAS."

"Really, what the crapface?! Okay, I'm on my way." Aty hangs up her phone and drives her ATYMOBILE to the big bad State of TEXAS. She parks her ATYMOBILE in front of a creepy factory right off the interstate. She was sure that poor Oni was in this place. She almost peed herself, it was a creepy place to hold a person hostage.

Low and behold... THE FORTRESS OF SAD FEELINGS:

"WHAT IS THIS?!" Aty yells out of script!!

Take that, Aty.

Aty was in a tussle. She had to find a way to turn Meago back into a human. She had to free Oni from the Evil Fortress of Sad Feelings. And most importantly... She had to beat that Evil Hat Monsta. Poor Aty... NOT!

Stay tuned, kiddos.
