EVER WONDER

I know I'm weird then. The sun darkens my hair, and the sun makes my skin turn red. I burn so easily. *sigh* I even tried some of the sun tan lotion, and it looked so fake. I would've been better off putting dirt on my body. I guess I'll be the shade of Casper the ghost for the rest of my life. lol

Don't worry, we can be weird together. I couldn't tan if my life depended on it. I tried the fake stuff too, and I looked like a pumpkin, I was so orange. It's funny, I was so white when I was little, I tried to color myself dark with a Crayola marker. I'm still like that. :(

I'm glad I have someone to be weird with. Lucky for freckles I suppose. At least I have a few freckles on my arms to give me some color.

Can I be part of your group? Brown hair, white skin, and freckles. I stopped even trying to tan because it just goes red to white, red to white.

Because when you shutdown, you have to START somewhere. you START at START and then when you go to shutdown you're finished! :lol:

What does OK actually mean?


Meaning 'all right', 'all correct', OK came into widespread use in the USA during the first half of the 19th century. It's similarity with words of the same meaning in native American Indian languages and several languages spoken by slaves brought from West Africa helped it's rise in popular useage, but OK got it's greatest boost as a political slogan. In this context, OK was an abbreviation of 'Old Kinderhook', the nickname given to the Democratic politician Martin Van Buren. Kinderhook was his birthplace in New York state. When he ran for the presidential election in 1840, Democrats all over the country were encouraged to voice their support for Old Kinderhook, or OK, because in the eyes of his supporters he was "orl korrect" (all correct). So the politician and his policies became a rallying cry as the country went to the polls. Even though OK failed to win the election, the term associated with him had caught on and soon made it's way around the rest of the English-speaking world.

So now you know. :D

AHH AHAHA!!

I LOVE THESE THINGYS!
