midoriMy dad is so weird. And his english (or I should say, lack of) is funny. Did I mention he can't spell?
Dad: (what I heard) I need to go buy some clams after dinner.
Me: You really crave clams or something, dad?
Sis: He means clamps [for the car].
Me: OH. Clamps, dad.
Dad: Clam. ClamPUH! Is that better? *laughs and repeats ClamPUH about five more times*
Me:
Me: Yes. XD Much better, dad.
My dad had to talk to some T-Mobile associate on the phone for 'Change of Responsibility' because our phones were all under my mom's name. So anyway. The poor guy had to go through my dad's rough accent. And I had to sit and help translate anything my dad didn't understand. So I listened while the phone conversation (that could have been 10 minutes), lasted for about 30.
[On the phone]
Dad: Do you think you can process my company discount too?
Associate: Sure, I'll do what I can.
Dad: OH THANK YOU. I appreciate it very much. Whassyo name? (He asks this every time someone is very helpful.)
Associate:
Associate: Excuse me?
Dad: Whassyo name? Your name?
Associate: Caleb.
Dad: Ca..reppu?
Associate: *nervous laugh*
Dad: *obliviously laughs along*
Me: *facepalms*
My car is parked outside so the snow and ice builds up on it during winter. My dad left this note on the counter for my sister and I so we could wake up to it and well.. if it wasn't for the ice scrapers he left by it, I might not have understood. LOL.

CAT MEME: From![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
booksandsarcasm~ And Cindy and Jess did it too. XD I'm just slow.
1. open paint
2. close eyes
3. draw cat
This was probably the fourth or fifth attempt because the first few times I kept drawing body parts off the canvas. LOL.
... Don't ask me why the legs are "w___w" shaped. I DON'T KNOW WHYY. @@;;And I almost forgot the tail, rofl.

And because I couldn't resist requesting from Liz and Suvi..:
The first five people to comment to this post get to request a sketch of a character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their artistic/writing ability. If you absolutely can't draw, you can offer drabbles or icons or something instead.
I can't write. And I can only attempt to draw. But I can do graphics (icons, headers, wallpapers), yaaay. :Dv If you request icons, just gimme three images and I'll do my best! Ah, I won't limit requests either so don't worry about being one of the first five~ &hearts &hearts

Date: 2009-01-22 02:54 am (UTC)Hmm...this wasn't exactly the post I had originally planned to comment on, but the title intrigued me. XD;; Dads can be so funny sometimes and your dad is obviously no exception! LOL
Firstly, I'd like to apologize. I feel like a total schmuck for not commenting until now, but the Christmas break wasn't exactly a vacation for me and I ended up having to take a mini hiatus from the internets for a while. ><;;
I was so busy that I didn't even get a chance to mail out all the Christmas cards I bought! :( I was pretty pissed about that, since I spent quite a bit on materials for the cards I was making. -__-; Actually, the worst of it was when I started receiving cards from the 5x5 traders. I felt horrible for not sending any out when I said I would! DX I am definitely going to try and make it up to everyone though! ^^;;
Speaking of cards, yours was one of my favorites - especially the collage!! ♥♥♥ XDD I absolutely love collages (and I'm not just saying that!), I used to make them all the time! Ah, to have that kind of free time again... LOL
When I received your card I was totally stressing out over finals and some family stuff, but the message you wrote made me feel 100 times better~ I even got a bit teary while reading it! X33
I also want to say thank you. Despite having known me for only a short time, you've treated me as though we've been friends for ages. Thank you for being such a sweet and wonderful friend - don't ever change! ♥ *massive bear hug*
Oh, one last thing! Don't think I didn't catch that little Nino you snuck into the collage! >.> Very stealth, me likey. XDD

Date: 2009-01-22 06:51 pm (UTC)Honestly, don't even worry about it. ^^ I'm just glad you're back and I hope you've found time to relax! Actually, this entire comment of yours works well enough as a replacement of a Christmas greeting. &hearts This warm response has just made my entire week~ Or well, what's left of it. ;p
I'm so relieved you liked the collage! I would have thought differently, especially with my mediocre talents with taping. LOL. (As long as you don't flip the collage over, it's fine. Rofl.)
I taped a Nino in there? Now when did I do that? *whistles* XD I did place him quite obviously, didn't I? I should really work on those stealth skills of mine. A-ha-ha~
If anything, I should be the one to thank you. You gave me an entire list of helpful tips related to my jaw surgery/recovery and it could have just ended there. ;o; But you ended up commenting on my future posts after that regardless of my words of weirdom. And well actually, you didn't have to help me out at all! But you did. So thank you. &hearts &hearts
On another note, your cat! So impressive! How you got the face centered on the head is a wonder. :D
