Hmmm, I think bunny is taking a nap. Or maybe he's dea- nah, let's go with nap.

Bunny slightly looks to be hopping in a bag...

Thank you for letting me share my moment of bunny-loving pride with you!

Brain Test: Left or Right

Brain Test!

This is probably the easiest test you've ever done; no paper or pencil, not really any thinking, and only a basic knowledge of reading (which I assume you have!) and knowing the difference between clockwise & counter-clockwise!

Below is a spinning dancer. If you see her turning clockwise, you use the right side of your brain more. (creativity, big picture thinking, etc.)

If you see her turn counter-clockwise, you use the left side of your brain more. (logical, smartish, you know!)

 (Update! Blogger isn't lettin' the pic move, but you can see it if you click here!)

Some people can see her switching directions, sometimes moving clockwise, sometimes counter-clockwise .(at least I see it like that!) That means you use both you right & left side of your brain often. in other words YOU ARE AWESOME(Like Me!!!)

Things I Hear at Random : Post 1

"I don't gossip- I just talk about people behind thier backs!"

"Let's blow up some aliens with a washing machine" (Long story...)

"Ooh... Sparkly..."

"Stupid hot wings"

"SHINEY!"

"Let's go hit a tree with a pole!"

"No frog dance!"

Multi-Talented!

Yep, you could call this guy that. I mean, who else runs up walls, skateboards, juggles, and much more in one video?

A Real-Life Invisible Man!

Chinese artist (and perfectionist) Liu Bolin actually paints himself to match his surroundings! He can blend into anything, rubble, bricks, bulldozers, so well that most people walking by don't notice him until he moves! Below are a few pictures of his work (see if you can find him!) No photoshopping here- I promise!

My Award-Winning Photography

Yes, I did win an award.

The Tales of Idiots: The Repairman, The Clerk, and the Co-Worker

The Tales of Idiots
Originally from Showdog.com Forums Post "Idiot Sightings"
Note: If you see your story here and want it removed, just tell me in the comments!

Welcome peoples! It is time for a story from The Tales of Idiots! (*Opens magic storybook*)
Our first story is of a Sears Repairman who is not very good at Math:

The Repairman With Bad Math
We had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a "large" enough motor on the opener. I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said, "Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower." I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4. He said, "NO, it's not. Four is larger than two.."



We haven't used Sears repair since.
-------------------

Well, that was a lovely story (*smiles gleefully*)
Next is the story of a McDonalds clerk who can get very confused with money!

The Cash-Confused Clerk

My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave the clerk a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a quarter. She said, "you gave me too much money." I said, "Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar bill back." She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request. I did so, and he handed me back the quarter, and said "We're sorry, but we can not do that kind of thing." The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in change.



Do not confuse the clerks at McD's.
------------------------------
(*munching on a BigMac & fries*)

What? Oh, the story's over. Yes, well, our last story is about a co-worker, 'kay? (*goes back to munching burger*)

The Co-Worker

The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine. She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the ligh t is red. Appalled, she responded, 'What on earth are blind people doing driving?!'



She was a probation officer in Wichita , KS

(*throws away burger*)
 
Ahhhh... what a lovely storytime this has been. Stay tuned for some more Tales of Idiots!
(*Digs Burger out of Trash* Oh BigMac, I missed you!)

Welcome to The New Butterfly's Garden!

 Hello! Welcome to the All New Butterfly's Garden!

I decided to clean up a bit. If you are looking for the old Butterfly's Garden, all those posts are avalible at http://www.butterflyarchives.blogspot.com/.

A Bit About Me

  My name is Annie. I'm a fifth grader in Alabama (Although Florida is my state. Go Gators!) and I blog on the internet (Which you must know, because you are reading this right now.) I started blogging when I was either 7 or 8 years old, with this very blog. I got into blogging when I told my dad (who also is a blogger, at Florida Sun Dog) that I wanted a website. He showed me how to, then I started blogging (and now everyone in my family blogs or has a website. Just look in the sidebar. Look. See it?). I believe this blog is now 3 or 4 years old, but all those post are in the Butterfly Archives (link above).

  I've really taken to computers & the internet. I film & edit digital video often (To Youtube, duh da da duh!), design animations in GIMP (It annoys me that an animation you spend 2 hours on only lasts 30 seconds) , create graphic art (I'm better than some adults) , and even program my own websites using HTML & CSS (for people who don't know what those are, look at HTML Code Tutorial) I have helped my freinds with creating websites like Pie Lad for my bud Allie's comic, my little sister's site Emily's Palace (which I programmed from HTML) and a Harry Potter site my friend Linzi & I made called The Voldemort Butt Kickers. (Funny name, I know)

Stuff I do That Doesn't Involve the Internet

  • I make mini movies! Okay, so that does involve the internet a tiny bit. But I made a stop motion/live action/animated mini movie called Evil Barbie!
  • I do ballet & jazz dancing!
  • I SSSIIIINNNNGGG! (*glass breaking*)
  • I love riding bikes, rollerskating, ice skating (even though I only did it once), riding a caster board, jumping on a trampoline, and running in snow.
  • I watch Fred.
  • And for some reason, I make fun of the name Bob. (No offense to anyone named Bob who is reading this)
Okie Doke, now that ya know who I am, enjoy da blog!!!

-Annie
