haha whenever my dad has to drive my car it's horrible because he can't even get in. i always leave the steering wheel down and the seat way up so he has to scrunch in to make it all okay for him

1. I grew up in Alaska, but have also lived in Hawaii, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. I, however, have never been out of the country.
2. I have a southern accent only when I am excited or mad about something (I blame North Carolina).
3. I have an English bulldog name Lola Belle and two sugargliders named Betty and Barbie (Betty is named after my mom). However, I don't know who is Betty or who is Barbie, so I call them "the girls."
4. I hate sleeping. I only do it for a couple hours (about 3 or 4) at night. It's boring and I would rather be doing something else.
5. I love high heels but hate wearing them. Basically they just pretty up my closet.
6. It is my goal in life to touch a penguin.
7. I get nervous everytime I cross the street- even when there aren't any cars.
8. I was bitten by a squirrel when I was 8. Now I get a little tense around them.
9. Spam... yummy!!!
10. I crave caffeine (coffee, soda, whatever). Others may call me an addict, I prefer connoisseur.

haha there was this baby squirrel at my grandparents' house and my grandma hated it because my grandpa would sit outside and feed it and let it crawl all over it...i never saw it firsthand, but i think it would've been funny to see. a couple months ago i was walking around on campus and saw this girl wearing jeans letting a squirrel climb her leg and these random guys she didn't know were taking pictures with their cell phones haha

I love squirrels! I got really mad at the park ranger who told me not to feed the squirrels on Mont-Royal last year - I used to go there all the time and bring them super sweet treats like honey-covered peanuts!

Montreal squirrels are a lot bigger than country squirrels.

people come to my city and are surprised to find so many black and white squirrels (not both black and white, but black ones and white ones)...i don't get it how they can't be anywhere else

a squirrel here commited suicide. he jumped into the power lines and killed all the electricity. people called into the school newspaper and thanked fuzzy for sacrificing himself for the students. it was rather sad, but we had a day off from school.

wow that's so weird! poor thing. I don't think we have squirels in Australia, but as a side note bats get fried on the power lines in my street every now and then and hang there dead for ages before anyone's game enough to try to knock them down.

I went to Austin, TX last spring and saw thousands of bats flying under Congress Bridge, it's really weird! Every night, thousands of bats fly under that bridge and there are always lots of people around to watch it, it's become one of the city's top attractions!
