More Freaky Facts.

Fact 1) A few species of frogs living in South America and West Africa give birth to live young!

Fact 2) The Striped Skunk is the smelliest mammal.

Fact 3) Bats are the only flying mammal.

Fact 4) The closest living relatives of pinnipeds are bears.

I hope you liked the facts I shared, bye.

Unlikely Friends.

Differences don't matter when it comes to this. I read this article about two orphaned tigers who came together with two orphaned orangutans and shared toys, wrestled together and slept together. This is pretty amazing!

Well, I suppose this is an example that shows how when it comes down to friendship it really doesn't matter what you look or sound like. You can still have a friend.

Here's a link to the website...

A Dog Like Charlie.

She is black.
She is bouncy.
She is my labradoodle Charlie.

Tricks she knows:
Drop.
Shake.
Sit.
Come.
Play dead (almost).

She's a puppy and may be hard to control at times, but she is my dog and I love her for who she is. Here are some photos of Charlie:

When she was a puppy.....

Fully grown....

And this one is Charlie and I at the beach....

Why My Complicated Mind? The Reason I Came Here.

Well, the reason I came here is so I could show the people who don't have the differences I have, what it's like to have them. And for the people who do have the same differences as me, I would like to show them that there are others out there who have exactly the same thing. Here's an example of me....

Yesterday, me and my sister had a fight because I wanted to play being dinosaurs but she wanted to be a human. I tried to convince her that dinosaurs are way more fun to be than it is to be a human but she just said no. She said no, no, no, over and over again. I ended up exploding and yelled at her. Then she walked away and I felt terrible.

That's all I have to say today. See you later.

Easter Bilbies on the Loose in Australia!

Come Easter time, it is said to be true, that a rabbit will come and give you a chocolate egg . . . . . . .

WELL, I have to say, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Because I mean, like, rabbits are mammals, so they don't lay eggs.

In Australia, some of us buy chocolate mummy and baby bilbies.

But then again, I guess it is much more fun to hunt for Easter eggs than it is to hunt for Easter bilbies.

Goodbye.

More About My AlphaSmart!

Well, where should I begin? It's kind of like the keyboard of a normal computer but at the top it has a little screen that shows you the writing. But that's all you can do on it. No Google, no email and no Youtube.

Pretty cool, hey? Just for writing!

TYPING WITHOUT A COMPUTER

OK, I'm going to announce it ... the one and only Alpha Smart 3000!!! It's my new typing keyboard. And it's so easy to type on that, believe it or not, I actually typed all this up on it beforehand.

Watching Sparks Fly.

I have an activity that's based on electricity. I can make lights turn on by connecting wires together. I find it stimulating.

Here's a link to something I found interesting...

Riding Amber!!!!

3 days ago I rode Amber! She was so soft it felt like I was riding a marshmallow horse. Here's a picture of me and Amber....

And guess what this means? My trainer's daughter will probably RIDE Amber in the upcoming show! This makes me feel really warm and happy inside.

Stuck in a Mini Train.

You know those little kid, toy vehicle things at the shopping centre, for 4 year olds? Well, I tried one and it was really fun ...... until mum called me and I got stuck. Well, I'm just glad we didn't need the old soap bar trick, to get me out!

Easter. And Spiders.

Easter's coming up and I'm really excited because mum says we can have chocolate this year, with just no dairy. Mmmm! I hope my cousin, Ella, comes out for Easter, too.

Oh, I almost forgot, I found out another fact: Some female spiders eat the male spider after mating. I had always wanted to be a boy, but now -- not so much.

Read This Or Die. Maybe.

I found out some freaky facts and thought they might be useful for anyone who is going to the northern USA, Canada, Greenland, Norway, Russia or South Africa:
The polar bear (northern USA, Canada, Greenland, Norway and Russia), is the only animal that actively hunts humans. Nice. And the longest earthworm ever found (South Africa), was 6.8 metres long. NEVER going to Africa.

Is Ridiculous the Normal State of Mind?

Yesterday my mum said I was being ridiculous. But I thought: is ridiculous just the normal state of mind? I'm going to think more about this.

Amber's First Show.

I have a pony. She's a Brumby and her name is Amber. She was part of a family of Brumbies that were rescued from a national park and saved from culling. Amber hasn't finished her training yet, but I'm really excited because my trainer is entering Amber in the Bonalbo show! I won't be able to ride her so she will be led. It's her first show and I hope she does well.

Here is a photo of me leading Amber...

My sister and I are entering into the cooking competition at the Bonalbo show as well.

Here is a video I liked.

I think it's amazing how gentle the dolphin is being.
