Absolutely Nothing to do with Anything


It's my dog Scout! I could tell you that he's my inspiration for an up and coming story, but there's no sense trying to rationalize this. Actually, I just wanted to play with my ability to add a photo to the blog and I incidentally uploaded all the pictures I'd been storing on my camera for the last year or so earlier today. Um, Tada! Yeah, turns out it's fairly easy.

If I write enough words on here I think it'll wrap around and under the photo. I don't have much more to say though, so in honor of the final push, let me share the words I wrote on the chalk board in my syntax and style class: The elephant sat on my purple chair. That's a neutral sentence in case you were wondering. Down with prepositional phrases! I was trying to write an active sentence, but trying to do it is like guaranteeing I won't. Well, that's not entirely true. It's easy to write an active sentence: The elephant ate the peanuts. I was just trying to make mine more interesting. That's where the utter failure comes in. Oh well, at least it gave me something to blather about to fill in text under the photo. Huzzah!

Edit: And now I get to test the edit feature too! Mostly to realize that the spacing on the blog is different than the spacing in this text box I'm writing in. I was already under the photo before I even talked about my desire to be there. See, my need to test this feature is justified by my inability to accurately predict the outcome!
