Dragons :)

On the topic of dragons (I have had nothing to say about my life recently, so I've chosen random things). Dragons are pretty much the coolest things in existence. Or previous existence, anyway. I'm watching How to Train Your Dragon right now, which is what got me started on this. This is my attempt at drawing Toothless:
  Not bad, right? Anyway, what I know about real dragons: They used to exist. They likely breathed fire (dragon fossils were found at the top of a mountain next to burned people). They look super legit. That's pretty much it. But fictional mythological dragons,  I totally know. Dragons are known for their intelligence. This may be because they live so much longer than man. It gains wisdom over hundreds of years. When they're young (infants?) they have no more intelligence than humans the same age. Actually, they're even less intelligent because they don't have someone to teach them basic and advanced knowledge. They rely purely on instinct for more than a hundred years. At this time, they are no smarter than a very cunning predator.
  Dragons are also very proud, and rightly so, as they know more about earth sciences and magic and many other things that almost anything else. His (her) knowledge of magic is also evidence of extreme wisdom, as magic is well known as one of the most difficult and time-consuming things that can be learned. Also, though dragons are known to speak any language, their preferred language is latin. Moving on.
  When you think of a dragon, what comes to mind? A big, scary thing with huge wings, red eyes, poisonous teeth, and razor-sharp claws? Um, no. Dragons are a thing of beauty, in every way. Though most WOULD have wings and claws, so do most birds, so... yeah. Don't judge something by its body parts (also don't judge me by my language choice here). Well, I'm gonna go to bed, more on dragons and their physique later.

YML:

Question of the post: What do your dream shoes look like (what kind, what color, any designs, etc.)?

That is all.

Sweet dreams are made of this

  While reading my friend's blog, I realized I haven't talked about dreams at all (mostly because she wrote a post about a dream she had recently). In the past year, I noticed I had a certain amount of control over my dreams. And Iris's. More on that later. Anyway, I was talking to Iris about dreams and she told me a way to figure out if you're in a dream or not (this information is confidential until decidedly not so). I've been practicing this technique, and recently I've had more control over what happens. More or less. I also realized that I always somehow know that I'm in a dream, I just don't really REALIZE it. Meaning it doesn't really hit me, like the fact that school's out doesn't really sink in until the second week (only for dreams, it never sinks in...). I had a dream last night that involved me, Iris, Ata, and my brother (henceforth known as the Cookie Monster >:3). We were walking along the trail that goes behind my house and having a discussion about moose. Well, more like Ata was talking about them and we kind of acknowledged his existence. This in itself was weird, considering Ata wouldn't do that....ever.... anywho, we got to the end of the trail and decided to go grab some segways (which were conveniently leaning against a wall). We rode on the segways over to my friend's house, and went inside. The only other thing I remember is raiding their fridge then throwing it out the window. Okay, so I don't have THAT much control over my dreams. Yet. But admit it, my brain is amusing sometimes. 
  About my statement earlier (about being able to control Iris's dreams to some extent): Iris is psychic. Seriously, it's kind of scary. I can use this to my advantage sometimes, by controlling a small bit of her dreams. For example, if I think about something reeeeaaaaalllly hard while she's sleeping, whatever I'm thinking about generally appears in her dream. Somehow. It's pretty weird, but also rather entertaining. 

Question of the post:
Would you rather be blind or deaf (from birth)? Why?

fruit. Fruit. FRUIT O.O

  Forgive me, I haven't been on here lately. Mostly because I have had little-to-nothing to say... I have decided to this time, instead of talking about my boring life, give my opinion of something. This something is fruit. Fruit is awesome, but only if it's either served a certain way, or it just happens to taste particularly delicious. For example: papaya. I HATE papaya. But it taste fine when it's used in a fruit shake. Strawberries happen to be delicious always (unless you're Iris, because then you're weird). Fruit also kind of confuses me sometimes, like in art. Why would you paint fruit? Its not exciting to look at, it's fruit. FRUIT. Why would we waste our time admiring fruit? The fruit-bowl-still-life-thing is super-famous, and yet, if you think about it, there isn't really anything particularly amazing about it. Don't get me wrong, the painter themselves are very talented. I just think their talent could be better spent on something incredible (liiiike....vegetables? idk. Ask your dad, I'm sure you could figure something out).    Anyway, I have nothing else to say. Have a picture of the Apple logo made of various fruits.
