Did anyone else catch the opening ceremony of the Olympics last night? Wow!!! I didn't know about these games until just recently, so it's probably too late for me to enter--'tho I'm sure I could win a gold medal at some of those events. Like anything where you have to lift or throw something, who could beat me? And those hurdles in the track races wouldn't slow me down very much. And there's also women's basketball!!!
But here's a list of sports that I don't think I'd be very good at:
1. Diving. I don't know that the diving board could support my weight. Also, they'd have to refill the pool after every dive!!!
2. Archery. With the bows and arrows they use, I'd look kind of silly. Like cupid. And I probably wouldn't be able to hit the broad side of a barn, either.
3. Equestrian. Me? On a horse? The cruelty to animal people would be all over me!!!
4. Cycling. Probably not going to happen unless GlomCorp makes me a custom-sized 120-speed bike.
5. Balance Beam. Are you kidding? Have you seen my size 73-and-a-half sneakers???
What do you guys think? Should I start training now for London in 2012?
Illustrator Challenge
Artists can create illustrations of me or the events in my life, as long as they are appropriate for my young readers. Any previous post on this blog can be illustrated. If I like an image that goes well with a post on the blog, I may add a small thumbnail version along with credit to the artist and a link to the full-sized image. Images of me posted elsewhere should link back to the "Giant Girl Rampages" blog.
If you want to draw a picture of me, here's what you need to know:
I'm 15 years old and almost (but not quite) 18 feet tall. Mrs. Appleton says I'm very pretty and well proportioned, which I guess is a complement. I'm not super thin or anything but I think I'm in pretty good shape.
I have dirty blonde hair that's kind of wild because I trim it with Pa's old hedge trimmers. My eyes are green as the ocean, as Ma always said, but I wouldn't know because I've never seen an ocean. My skin is tanned from being out in the sun a lot but not too dark and (usually) not burned.
I wear a blouse and skirt-shorts that my mother quilted for me three years ago. They look like a big patchwork cuz she used many squares of fabric and cowhide. I've grown since then, so the skirt-shorts no longer come down to my knees, my blouse is way tight, and there's a bit of skin showing in between. I don't have any shoes (and that makes me sad to think about so I usually don't).
If you do draw my picture, send the link in a comment so I can post it to my blog. Thanks!!!

ReplyDeleteSo you think maybe I could put on a mask and cape, and nobody would be able to guess my secret identity? Ha-ha!!!
ReplyDeleteThat would only work until the first villain runs into a narrow alley where I can't follow him--plus the only thing my big efficient brain is good for lately is producing nightmares!!!
