ORIGINALLY WRITTEN DAVID VOGEL
I went to my first Little League baseball game of the season. Equipped with a folding chair and a snowcone from The Igloo, I sat down ready to watch the night’s excitement unfold.
Sadly, after I finished my snowcone, I began to get bored. I’m not a big baseball fan, and the only reason I was there was because, one, my brother was playing and I’m required to go to one game a season, and two, I was promised a free snowcone.
So there I sat, empty snowcone cup in hand beginning to get cold. I was finally told to go to the car to get my jacket, and a blanket for everyone else.
On my way back to the game I was met by a little girl named Erica Just. Cute in appearance, and as the night progressed, I would soon find out just how much energy a little body can hold!
I think Erica knows me from summer drama. Our friendship began with her bopping me in the nose with a fake powder-poofy-thing. Right as I was about to sit down Erica beat me to my chair.
Finally, she got up just long enough for me to dash to my chair and sit down. But I wasn’t alone for long. A few seconds later a smiling face, which was connected to a neck, which then connected to the rest of a little girl’s body that was sitting on my lap, was in front of my face.
The rest of the evening was spent making funny faces and craning my neck to try to see the game. I was unsuccessful. But that’s OK, I like little kids better than Little League.
After a good night’s rest, I awoke to a sunny day. I spent most of that day learning about HTML. I’ve got no clue what HTML stands for-maybe Hot Turkey Makes (good) Lasagna-but I do know that it’s somewhat difficult.
I was trying to make moving text for my Web site (www.geocities.com/cyberbeanie2003) and I found out a lot of other information too.
Just so you know, HTML is a computer thing you use to program stuff. Notice I’m not being very specific. That’s because I don’t know much more about it than you do. But I did finally get my moving text.
Don’t ask why
If your newspaper was a computer screen, the “Don’t ask why” would be moving, and you wouldn’t see the “marquee” stuff.
Technology is a confusing thing, I think I prefer little girls jumping on my shivering legs.
Don’t ask why!
