I killed a goat once...

M’kay so one time, my da decided we were going to raise goats, so he went out and got six of them. The one was really small and after a  few weeks, stopped walking and eating. She was sick, and I was stuck taking care of them because my da had to go out of state for work. So I decided I would take her outside to the yard and see if she would do anything. She flipped out and started screaming and waddling around on stiff legs and so I’m just kinda like “okay you’re not dying today.” So I walk her back to the barn and she stops walking, so I pick her up to carry her in the barn and I get two steps in the barn and she just kinda flOPS OVER AND DIES AND I DIDN’T KNOW SHE DIED SO I SET HER DOWN TO OPEN THE GATE AND LOOKED AT HER AND REALISED SHE DIED AND I WAS HOLDING A DEAD GOAT AND I STARTED FREAKING OUT AND CRYING AND I CRIED FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE I CALLED MY MUM AND TOLD HER AND SHE CAME OUT AND SHE JUST KINDA WATCHed me cry until my grandparents got there and my grandpa just came into the barn, picked up the goat and tossed it in the back of his truck and walked out and my grandma just kinda hugged me and told me that it happens and they called my da and told him and he called me and told me he knew she was going to die. My grandparents took the goat and got rid of her body and I just kinda sat in the barn for a couple hours before i could go inside and then  my brother told my sister and it was just a big mess

Oreos for breakfast

okay so this morning I had a dream that I had a whole unopened package of oreos and I was so excited that I was going to eat some for breakfast. So when i woke up, I just kinda shouted “oreos!” and woke up about half of the dorm. Then I realised I do not have oreos and it was all just a dream

just my luck

I’m emo garbage and so I learned the intro to Welcome to the Black Parade... I go to a Bible College. I was in the basement of the chapel and I started playing it and I guess there was someone else down in the basement because all the sudden I paused and heard someone singing the song. I got super excited and walked out, thinking it was just another nerd like me. It wasn’t. It was a really hot, buff guy.

I live in an era where I’m actually more surprised to hear that two parents are still together than I am to hear that they’re divorced

funny story

when I was little, I would go on Nickelodeon.com all the time and they had this game similar to club penguin except it was called Nicktropolis. and if you forgot your password, a security question you could choose was “what is your eye color?” and if you got it right it’d tell you your password. so I would go to popular locations in Nicktropolis and write down random usernames who were also in those areas, and then i would log out and type in the username as if it were my own and see which of these usernames had a security question set to “what is your eye color?” (which was most of them, since it was easy and we were all kids). i would then try either brown, blue, or green, and always get in, then I would go to their house and send all of their furniture and decorations to my own account’s. and if it I didn’t want it, i could sell it for money

Reminds me of the time I hacked my cousins club penguin account and got rid of everything in her igloo

One time, I was helping my grandfather stack wood at his house. And I’m stacking it, some other kid is splitting it. I threw a piece of wood on top of it and all of the sudden, three freAKING SPARROWS JUST FLY OUT OF THE WOOD PILE AND WERE FLYING NEAR MY HEAD AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE. MY LIFE FLASHED BEFORE MY EYES AND IT LOOKED LIKE SPARROWS

Don’t run

So one time, I was in cross country. There was a park about a mile away from the school, so we would run there, run around in the park, then go back to the school. There’s also a little creek that ducks and geese frequent. So I’m running and all of the sudden, this huge gOOSE JUST COMES OUT OF NOWHERE AND STARTS CHASING ME AS I’M RUNNING AND MY COACHES WERE JUST STANDING THERE LAUGHING AT ME AS I RUN AWAY WITH A GOOSE TRYING TO EAT ME

Why I’m an awful sibling

So one time I punched my little sister in the face on accident because I was turning and I just nailed her right in the side of the face and she started crying and I’m freaking out because I  don’t want to get in trouble for punching my sister and then as she’s sobbing she saying “it was an accident it’s okay” and I was dying of laughter and freaking out at the same time and now she gives me the wide berth every time I turn around
