Comments, anyone?

It seems that even though I talk a lot, you people talk very little. I'll bet that you didn't even know that you can comment on any of my posts, did you? Yep, it's true! Look down at the bottom of this post. Just below all my ranting, It says, 'Posted by Morate at 11:38 AM     # comments.' If you click on '# comments', you can see what people have to say, and even say something yourself! If you seem to always have funny or insightful comments, I may even invite you to become an author of Herp of Derps... O.o

I have fancified. You're welcome.

As you have undoubtedly noticed, (unless you are incredibly unobservant,) my blog looks a little different. Here are the new features:

• New background
• New fonts
• New link colors
• New sidebar titles
• New favicon (You may have to clear your cache to see this.)
• New tabs feature

The background has a bit of a double meaning. The obvious one: it is the texture of a Nether portal from Minecraft. But wait! There's more! Today, April 20th, was the Day of Silence. I could describe it, but somebody else already did a much better job. Here's what they said (or didn't say):

Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. I am participating in the Day of Silence (DOS), a national youth movement bringing attention to the silence faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their allies. My deliberate silence echoes that silence, which is caused by anti-LGBT bullying, name-calling and harassment. I believe that ending the silence is the first step toward building awareness and making a commitment to address these injustices. Think about the voices you ARE NOT hearing today.

That's deep, man. Anyways, I'm not sure if it's just local or what, but in these parts, purple is the representative color for this movement. Therefore, not only did I participate in the Day of Silence and wear purple today, but I am dressing the blog up in purple too. Herp of Derps will remain purple for a few days to show my support. If you want a little more information on the Day of Silence, go here. Have a great weekend!

Happy Demon has taken over this blog.

What is this demon so enthused about? In fact, his name is Happy Demon, and he is on a mission to take over the media. This blog is just the first step in world domination, but Happy Demon expects to expand his territory soon.

My New Favorite Word... Milquetoast!

What the heck does it mean? My awesome English teacher, Ms. Reaser, says that 'milquetoast' means bland or uninteresting. It is pronounced like milk-toast. It sounds nasty. Anyways, this is a less interesting post, but it seemed relevant at the time.

In unrelated news, I will be running the website for the Charlottesville/Albemarle robotics team in the upcoming season. Wish us luck!

Happy Zombie Jesus Day!

This morning, my sister and I were looking around for a funny picture to put on an Easter card. Even though it didn't fit our needs, we thought we should share this picture with you:

The previous picture undoubtedly offended some hardcore Christian person. Sorry. Get over it. What we did end up using was this:

So anyways, that's all for today. Best wishes and happy zombie Jesus day, everyone!

Video of the Month: April 2012

First off, let me apologize for being absent for a while. I've been mainly caught up in my schoolwork. Second, let me express how happy I am that it's now spring break by using a smiley: XD. Finally, I would like to present to you the video of the month! It's a little different this month because, instead of finding something clever on Youtube, I have a live feed of two little eaglets in a nest. These eaglets are in Richmond. Enjoy!
