What's in a Name??

Not too long ago, the Mellie and I took part in a most fulfilling form of time-wasting procrastination by going through every Name Generator and Situation Randomizer as we could find in one night. Granted, Mellie was actually, sort of, in a way, with small devotion, attempting to write an essay for her class. So, it could be said that not too long ago, I took part in a most fulfilling form of time-wasting, pro-procrastination and managed to distract my target most efficiently by bringing up EVERY NAME GENERATOR AND SITUATION RANDOMIZER I could possibly find and asking her for all her personal information (middle name, zodiac signs, birthday, phone-number digits, social security, just basic stalker info).

And we came across one of the most Beautiful Treasures to be known. A Dragon Name Generator. :3

Needless to say, we went through and did just about everybody:

Aquphen Green-Shroud, The Explosive (Mellie):

She cracks the very earth asunder with bolts of lightning! She has scales as green as forest emeralds. She brings death without mercy. This one shrouds the land in darkness, dominating all.

Kzanem Crimson-Smasher, The Repugnant (Meeee):

She is the bane of all life! She has scales that glow as hot as flames. She brings death without mercy. This one shrouds the land in darkness, dominating all.

Klalan Sour-Howler, The Coal Dark (Bon):

She lays waste to green and fertile lands! She is a yellow green dragon with pearlescent scales that catch the light. She howls like a banshee when breathing fire. This one could scorch the very sun.

Kzaqua Crimson-Smasher, The Explosive (Manda):

She roars a deafening sonic roar with the voice of a thunderstorm! She has scales as crimson as glowing embers. She smashes things that get in the way with powerful claws. This one has strength.

Hazadia Dream-Lizard, The Burning (Shli):

She scorches the roof of the world! She has scales that shimmer with the colours of the rainbow. She is a ponderous, slow dragon. Given a choice, this one prefers to sit atop a hoard.

Haaqo Silver-Hiss, The Coal Dark (Sea Otter):

He rains brimstone down on enemies in judgement! He has scales as silver as the lonely moon. He hisses like a cat and prefers small prey. This one is independent and aloof.

Aquron Orange-Blaster, The Diamond Hoarder (Vegas):

He is desirous of precious jewels and shiny things! He has scales as orange as molten lava. He blasts apart houses and castles as if they were made of matchsticks. This one has powerful lungs!

Hurtos Silver-Hiss, The Smoky (Moonshine):

He wreathes the land in a suffocating fog! He has Scales as silver as the lonely moon. He hisses like a cat and prefers small prey. This one is independent and aloof.

...also Unicorn Name Generator. Unicorns guys. Unicorns.

Admit it. You're jealous right now. You are. Say it. Say it. Say it. SAY IT. :K

And we didn't stop there, we went on with MANY other Generators. Here are some of the ones we enjoyed the most:

And then there's this beauty from before Shli left us:

Also, Percy Jackson life Predictor:

I could go on and blog many, many more of these because we went through probably nearly every single one that exists on this internet (literally, we were doing them for nearly 4 hours, no joke), but that would clutter this beautiful, perfect post about a most wonderful event of procrastination, and we wouldn't want that, now would we?

If ever you have no life or simply want to escape the one you're in, I highly recommend this most efficient and most entertaining time-wasting activity.

A Manda & Mellie Adventure

Once upon a time...

Mellie and Manda found themselves alone in the apartment shortly after it had snowed. Manda had just woken up from her nap, and Mellie and Panda wanted to watch a movie later. With 15 minutes until the Provo library closed, they decided to go on an adventure. Bundling up with boots, coats, scarves, and gloves within a minute they ran/slid to Mellie's car.

The first problem they encountered was the ice covering the car. It took longer than they would have liked to scrape it away and they missed their Shli, who was a pro at scraping cars. When their task was finished, they raced off to the Provo Library. The lights were with them, but when they ran to the doors with five minutes to spare, they found them locked. Someone came out of the library and they slipped in. Manda, who has a lot of experience with getting her way, charmed the front desk attendant to let them into the library for the last three minutes it was open, and victory was so close they could almost taste it.

Unfortunately, this story does not have a happy end. Mellie could not find her movie and Manda could not find the book she wanted. With heads hung in dejection, they exited the library and went home. Still, the outcome is not always as important as the adventure itself.

The End.

We may stop, though life will not.

Two months. That is the length of time we've gone WITHOUT so much as a word on this blog. But we've been about...

Sharing joy in Halloween dances and Parties....

Whilst terrorizing others...

And simultaneously planning a last minute piece of gorgeous musicality for the wondrous Christmas Program this coming Sabbath day within ONE WEEK. O________O

And let's not forget the happy occasion of Hobbit midnight premier! :D Even though the movie was a bit of a disappointment, our joy and fun refused to be defused! ^_^

So the last few months were still quite enjoyable.

International Talk Like a Pirate Day

Argh, ye scalawags!  We be the pirates of the Friendly Mushroom, out searching for buried treasure in our boat-SHIP!, ship.  It's a black ship.  Good fer treasure hunting, ya better be sure.  We charged into battle, following our fearless captain. The Pirate Queen Bon-Bon led us to the winnen' of the fight, with her sharp sword and even sharper wit.  The beauty Manda, our gypsy-like pirate, brought along Shem the camel, who tried to keep us in line but was certain to bring smiles to our faces.  Our creature keeper, Panda, kept a vicious snake under control (barely) while waltzing among the natives.  And I, Mellie, was in-session photographer, recording the crazy thoughts of some random pirate-wannabes meandering through the city, terrorizing some and entertaining others. ---Okay, actually I was a pirate, too, always on the lookout for enemies and other pirates.  Five pirates are always better than four, so we sorely missed each member of the Friendly Mushroom crew that we lacked.  And though free donuts were not our booty, the memories more than make up for it.  (Don't mistake us, pirates love treasure, so if you wish to please the pirates, you know what to do!)

 

May All Your Adventures End This Happily!

Summah Time!

So, I'm really bad at updating this blog, but as one of the two current residents in the friendly mushroom, I thought it was high time I give a brief overview of summer for Bon Bon and myself.

We miss our friends, but it's been nice to have a quiet summer of naps, candy, and Netlixing! We've also been on several adventures this summer.  

 This is what happens when there's a rainstorm at 2 in the morning.  We dance in the rain, get completely soaked, and suddenly gain water bending powers.

 Bon Bon, Audra (our neighbor), and I took a trip to St. George with Micah and Ryan to see Elise and Daniel.  Hiking was a must.

 I don't wake up well.  Bon Bon helped me in St. George by pouring water all over my face.  What a good roommate!

 Normal, normal, wind-blown normal, MEDUSA!  And that's what wind does to some of us.

 Bon Bon, Kari S., and I took the train up to Salt Lake for the day a couple weeks ago.  The piano in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building was playing a song from Tangled.  Of course we waltzed around.

I like research.  This is me contemplating my capstone this fall...Isaiah, here I come!  

 I got to spend the 4th of July with Mellie + family.  This is some of us at the Crandell Museum next to the world's only fully functioning Gutenburg printing press!!!!!!!!!!!!  My life was kind of made.

 Bon Bon and I have been marathoning Doctor Who this summer.  We found a plush Dalek!  It's so exciting.

I've discovered The Brick Bible!  It's Genesis-Chronicles in Lego cartoons!  Yes!!!

Summer is great, but I can't wait for everyone to move back in soon!  I miss my pseudo-sisters!  

Talented Are We!

While the gang was down in St. George, enjoying the hot summer sun and brief weekend vacation (you can read all about it on Manda's blog), we, the remaining two, enjoyed some time with the talented people of the complex.  Our singles ward hosted a talent show and Panda and me (Mellie) combined our musical powers of wonder and stunned the audience with a piece from the Disney Pixar movie Brave.  We dressed up to the occasion as we saw appropriate, which only added to the atmosphere of the performance.  It was quite a successful night.

We were not the only gifted people that attended, fortunately, or the show would have been seriously lacking.  We heard many songs, instruments, and jokes that made the night most highly entertaining.  A young man from Iran played a Sitar for us, another did voice impressions, and there were a couple talented poets who recited their work for our pleasure.  At the end there was a skit of comedy which had everyone nearly out of their chairs, laughing their hardest while still living.
And that is why we say that though we missed hanging with our buddies, we do love our home very much and enjoyed our weekend just as well, I'd say.

until our next adventure, then, goodnight!

Friendly Friends

We here in the Friendly Mushroom have lots of friends, because we're soooo...friendly!  This past Sunday, we were all in town along with some of our best guy friends and that means we had a photo shoot.  The following pictures were the result of our escapades.

Oh this picture.  Words cannot describe!  The duck.  The pointing.  The strangulation....

Because people who don't do jazz hands just aren't as fun as we are!

Speak no evil. Hear no evil.  Plot all evil. 

Beauty personified.

Yes.  Just yes.

Variety. 

Be a man!  

Unless you can be a princess.  Then be a princess. 

And there you have it.  Our adventures in picture form.
