My pick? Me.

I wrote a whole genius blog entry, and then it disappeared. (Don't you hate when that happens?)

Anyway, why can't I be me?

In the commercial, I mean.

I can act. Okay, so I haven't done it professionally or anything like those chicas, but surely I can pull off playing myself. Plus, I have an astounding skill set for a girl my age.

Here's my resume:

• Kicking Eraser butt day in and day out
• Dealing with an incoherent inner monologue that won't go away
• Babysitting an underage pyro expert
• Coping with Nudge's incessant ramblings of an annoying nature
• Attempting to "save the world"
• Uhhh...I break for animals when I "borrow" cars?
• I have (now) three books written about me, so I must be interesting enough
• Oh, right...I can really FLY! Think of all the money I'd save you guys on strings and special effects?

So, there. Think about that Jimmy Pats. (That's what I call him.) (Not really. I just like to make it sound like I have a legit shot here.)

P.S. I'm sure Brittany loves wings, Fang. She just doesn't like geeks. ;-)

Whaaaaaa?

Is this FOR REAL?

A commercial?

Woah. I gotta show this to the rest of the Flock cause this is insane! (And really funny.)

I hope that Brittany girl digs guys with wings.

-Fang.

Woah.

Everyone wants to join this little campaign of ours, but I'm thinking it needs a better name.

Anyone have any ideas?

Fang has this crazy idea where he wants to use the blog for...well, you'll see if and when he pulls it off...or not.

(Hint: Watch out, Itex people!)

Freaks Like Us.

You know that "safety tip" you hear about in school or on after-school TV specials starring some teen heartthrob type guy about strangers and staying safe?

Ah-hem: "If you feel like someone's following you, make four lefts...". Then you tell an adult about it.

Now, I figured out the reason for doing that, cause four lefts make a giant circle, and people don't walk around in circles while running errands.

Okay, maybe the really weird ones do, but they're probably weird if they're stalking you in the first place! Normal folks walk from Point A to Point B.

(Woah. I think I have Nudge rambling disease.)

Anyway...they didn't tell you what happens after you make three lefts, stop, give a wink, and then bust out your WINGS!

I think that's the moment where Mr. Sour Puss Fang over there changed his mind about being freaks like us.

...Yeah, I said freak! I'm starting a new campaign: Be a Freak! (Subtitle: Oh, and Be Yourself!)

Those mucho-losers following us thought they were gonna jump some kids, steal our wallets, and leave us high and dry.

Ha. They picked the wrong people that day, and the expressions on their faces was totally worth all that circling.

Gift or Curse?

I don't want wings anymore.

What's so good about them, anyway? I'd really like to know since I have 'em and I can't figure it out.

If I find my receipt, can I return them or something? Exchange it all for Normalcy, maybe?

(There's probably a 30-day policy.)

There is ALWAYS a catch. ALWAYS.

Flying lessons!!

We've learned a whole lot about important lessons in flying lately.

1. Don't fly in below 0 temperatures and wind chill, cause you'll freeze your butt and wings off! (Ouchness!)

2. Don't fly with cameras, laptops or other electronic stuff.

It, unlike a cat, does not have 9 lives when it falls. It just SMASHES and breaks, and gets you in trouble. (Whoops!)

3. Don't fly while wearing flip flops. This is probably the same reason why people don't wear them on roller coasters, either.

I know this because I just lost mine somewhere over New Jersey.

If it hit you in the head, person below me on Route 9, I'm totally super-sorry. They're cute, so if your foot is not too big, too small, or you're not anti-sparkles and pink (Squee!), why not wear them?

~NuDgE!

P.S. Not applicable to planes or helicopters. Applicable to Eraser butt-kicking bird kids ONLY.

P.P.S. Where the heck are all of the Erasers?! I think I gained five pounds sitting around eating peanut butter cups waiting around for a surprise attack.

This is...weird. No, CREEPTACULAR!!!

Got scarves?

I know that heat rises and everything and we can fly, but this is ridiculous:

"Bitter cold, blowing snow hit Northeast"

Note to self: When Gazzy wants 11 "dirty water dogs" from an authentic vendor in NYC, do not comply...even if you do have wings and can get there uber-mucho-fast.

My wings are stuck together, people! Stuck! Frostbite! Not fun!
