When Quarters Fly.
Once upon a time, there was a German field trip to the Denver Public Library. On this seemingly mundane field trip ventured Malena (the one that you shouldn't make angry) and Michelle (the little one that couldn't possibly be a senior). So these 2 AP students had groups to take around to the various pictures and lead through a packet. Michelle had a kid named Arthur in her group which she thought was quite exciting indeed. Because Marc Brown might possibly be a genius and Arthur is a spectacular show, duh. But anyways, then they had the "oppourtunity" to listen to some German natives speak about where they were when the Berlin Wall came down and a very exuberant photographer that believes that she know everything about any situation and her word is fact even though she has never lived in Germany. Very exciting, I know. And they all got home safely and lived happily ever after. (Except for a slink that is guilty in her heart for being a deceitful meanie a lot of the time!) The End.
................
Just kidding. That's just the boring part. After the exhibits, we had a little less than an hour to hang out around the Capitol building and the 16th Street Mall. Malena and I decided to go get some food. So we are booking it (because it is about 4 or 5 blocks down and 3 over) and being watched very closely by... less fortunate/ possibly homeless people. One old guy even slowed down to check out Malena's feet? Um yeah, we aren't sure. But he was wearing a Harvard sweatshirt.... Anyways. So we are passing an outdoor eating area at a coffee shop, still maintaining a brisk pace, when this rather intense looking man catches our attention. He is wearing a long, billowing black coat (even in the heat), has extremely long, ratted hair, has a mad glint in his eyes, and is wearing a yarmulke (those Jewish hat things). He is half running, half walking right towards us screaming at the top of his lungs about something that we cannot understand. It is made very clear that he is angry about some mistreatment and believes he is taking a stand. Malena and I must have moved to the other side of the sidewalk in our trance-like state because he did not run into us as it seemed he might. But he did, however, throw an angry volley of quarters at us and the coffee shop. And trailing behind him were some homeless people picking up all of the quarters that we was supposedly handing out. So that was exciting. Then we went to this huge Mcdonalds and are standing in line. We hear a man say, "Can I help who's next?" We look up and only see women.... Well, looks can be decieving.... He/ she made a very convincing woman, besides the hands and a few other oddities, I must say. Ah the wonders of make up. Then we book it back to the capitol and there is a protest going on! We were so excited! Could this day get any more exciting for us sheltered P-Towners?? So we go up to the protest and shout for a little while and take pictures like tourists before getting back on the bus and going home.
And what did I get out of this excursion? I decided that Parker is like the Shire. We all live in our little bubble of "peace" sort of unaware of most of the things that go on in the rest of Middle Earth. So it was fun to experience the difference on such an eventful day.
Much Love!!

Is it only Wednesday?!?!
Last weekend, a great event took place called a "3 day weekend." It just sort of sounds magical doesn't it?? Labor day weekend. One of the little girls at work asked why it is called Labor Day. And I guess I didn't really know the legit answer. So being the nerd that I am, I looked it up thinking there would be an actual good reason for such a boring name. But no. It is just a break from work or labor that some McGuire guy invented. But I think it should be a 4 day weekend because if you travel out of town, then you have to drive/ fly back on the holiday which certainly does not give you an adequate break.... just saying. And what if someone goes into labor on labor day? .... I think it would be quite ironic to give birth on labor day. But anyways.
So my family went on the traditional Fulford's camping trip! Woo! We had the entire family, (minus Hannah), Jake Buhl, Bard and his family, Madison, and Malena! It was a blast! I led 2 groups through. I know the cave pretty dang well now. So I am thinking of just moving up there and building a house and becoming a cave guide and maybe, if I am really lucky, I will start to look like Gollum!
But yeah, we had a really fun time! Except Liam did not like sleeping there. Poor baby boy. Jackson and Liam are both unbearably cute these days!!! Malena is a "Lumber Jill" now so I changed the words to a rhyme we all know just for her.
(To be spoken like the 3 little pigs in Shrek talk)
Jack and Jill went up a hill to split a pile of wood.
Jill took longer cuz Jack was stronger.But that's ok, she's a girl.
But anyways, she got a gnarly bruise that I am slightly jealous of on her leg. We also talked alot about enchiladas. bahahaha. Love it. Crushed ice is always good for Malena. Oh, and no, I am not a pillow, Mel, but a person that gets the breath squeezed out of her when you roll over on her.
We went and picked berries! And it started raining and it was on this steep hill and everyone kept falling and it was just priceless. Haha. Ummm yeah. We basically just had a great time and did a lot of random things that produce smiles and an abundance of laughter. :)
On Tuesday school was.... well school. Then work was, as always, entertaining and long. Then our laurel activity was crazy packed with salad and planning, goodbyes and phone calls, and much more. :)
The doctors have come to the conclusion that I do not have the fatal illness previously mentioned. But I have anemia, which is basically no big deal.
Today in German we got our first essays back. Let me just say that the writing is the only thing I currently do well in that class. I got a 6. That is on an AP scale, not out of 100 mother! Haha We got some other stuff back too.... but they were not so good.... aka bad. haha
Kara leaves tomorrow. We will miss you, Hon! You better come back and visit as much as you say you will! I will fight those idiot rumors flying around at school to the death!
Lights:
"Don't be a foil." Thanks Sister Butler. You are the best Seminary teacher ever!!!
"Michelle! Are you Mormon?!?!" Yes. How many years have you been teaching me Frau? 3? Haha
Playing football with kindergartners gets dang brutal! They throw it as hard as they can but it only makes it to your feet and it bounces up in your face. (You might be thinking, "move them closer to you." They were about... 4 feet away. Adorable.)
So close to going to the Killers concert! With backstage, VIP passes. Thanks Phil! You are as nice as you are tall. And you have cool cousins, aka the drummer in the Killers.
Derek Higgins learned that you don't "not attack" me in the hallways unless you want to be kicked. Ha!
Um... and also. I do believe that Spokane, Washington has really high iron levels in basically everything... So I should be allowed to go up there and be healed from this oh-so-terrible affliction... Just sayin. :)
So basically, if you don't know that I love you, then you need to turn off the computer and call me because I love you all and I am a very lucky little person to have you in my life and if I don't tell you enough, just... spit on me or something.
Much Love!!

A very sad tale....
Sick. Sick. Sick.
I don't have mono.
I don't have strep so far.
The doctors are not sure what it is. However, they suspect that it could be a rare disease called MichellenaFlarknucleosishypnoticphobia. It is extremely serious and life altering. I might not even make it out without serious doses of the following treatments:
Laughter (Very hard to come by at my house)
Chinese Food- Preferably Royal Panda Cafe...... *cough cough* (Very good for the.... organ that causes this unfortunate illness.... the funny bone. (Yes. Recent studies do show that the funny bone is, in fact, an organ. Vital even.))
Lord of the Rings Extended versions and Old Pride and Prejudice (This does anyone good)
Lots and lots of reading (This one might be the hardest. I shall try my hardest to fulfill it!)
It isn't looking good, but I may just pull through. There are no known survivors.... Then again. This is the first case they have seen in... well forever.
Hannah, if I don't make it, you can have my clothes and my black heels that you always steal and horde in your swamp. You may also have my neat-freakishness. I won't be needing it where I am going and if you don't get it soon, you might follow after me simply by tripping over your junk.
Amelia, you can have my books (since you might not get dad's bahaha) and you can even have the very square hair folicles from my curly head because I know how you envy them.
I would like to thank my body for giving me the...... inspiration for this "oh-so-wonderful" post.
I would like to thank my amazing friends (Mainly Augie) that make me smile through this... trying.. time in my life.
I would like to thank Morgan whatever her name is for being difficult so that great happiness has occured in Michellena Flark's life of Alle tag. Jeden tag. (Freitag.) Fest.
I would love to thank the inventers of satire and sarcasm... But I don't really know who they are. Whoever it was they made this blog, my life, and so much more possible.
Now, I need to go take a long bubble bath according to a highly reliable source.
I love you all! Duh.
Much Love!!

Isn't it weird...
...the little things you remember always? My favorite, living, blood brother, Benjamin once taught me the "Art of making Ramen." You might be thinking 1) you don't really need to be taught how to make ramen. Americans know how from birth or 2) Making ramen is not an art. Well you are wrong on both accounts. For those of you who don't know my dear brother, I'll explain. Growing up eating dinner right next to Ben was so entertaining! Whether he was making sculptures with his mashed potatoes or running to the sink to spit out his drink from laughing so hard, he always kept us entertained. It's a good thing we don't have the rule "Don't play with your food" at our house because I don't know what Ben would have done!! ;) But anyways, Ramen. For some reason, when Ben makes Ramen, it just tastes 10 times better than when anyone else makes it! So one day he took pity on me and decided to teach me his secrets! (Which, of course, cannot be told) And he probably doesn't even remember doing this, but anytime I make Ramen, it reminds me of my favorite Ben. So thank you Benji! :)
....how icky things like migraines have both pros and cons? So I have never been drunk(nor do I plan to ever experience it) but some people at school would argue otherwise after seeing me at school today. My sincerest apoligies go out to anyone that I talked to last night on the phone (mainly Kailey and Sister Knudsen) I was hard to understand and a little distant. But hopefully you at least got a laugh. :) Willie Long (Math teacher) and I bonded over migraines today. He even told me I could leave if I wanted to (not that I have any work to do anyways even after missing a whole day). Mrs. Dorman thought I was just extremely bored with her lecture on classifying and identifying lakes. Ms. Jacobsen thought I was on drugs and Michael said he was glad to see me alive after missing 2 days of seminary. Bahaha Michael Barnum. See? Both good and not so good. :)
... how we associate certain words with colors? Random word test. See if we are close.
Charity - Red (Like a heart)
Smile - Yellow (Smiley face.... not teeth...)
Shoes - Red (... just cuz. haha)
Sleep - Blue (Because I like to think the inside of my eyelids are not black but dark blue)
Colorado - "Colorful" ("Welcome to Colorful Colorado!")
Utah - Blue (No clue)
Washington - Green (duh.)
Dream - Purple (Hmmm that's interesting)
Family - Green (Family Tree maybe? I don't know)
Well anyways. As always, a special thanks to all those who make me laugh, cry, and everything in between.
Much Love!!
