Hi there! I love polka dots, jelly, and Greek mythology. And I would like to add that A Midsummer's Night Dream is the best play ever written. That is all.

The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins

In school we're reading The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien for our novel study, and it's an immensely boring book, but this song probably makes up for it.
Note: Bilbo is the main character of The Hobbit, but you probably won't understand much of this song unless you get an idea of what the book is about.
As the description for this video reads, "Enjoy it... Or panic!"

October 31

I failed. I totally forgot about this on the actual day it happened, which was really pathetic on my part, and since it's been over two weeks, you probably already know of this already, but:
On Oct. 31, 2011:
  1. I celebrated an amazing awesome fun Halloween.
  2. The world's population officially increased to seven billion people.
Coo-ool!

Episode 36 of the fantastic TV show Invader ZIM, but this is the speeded-up version, which is just as funny as the original.
Everyone's voice sounds like they just inhaled a tank of helium :D
