This is a bit of a catch-up because I have missed out on A LOT of quotes, I'm sorry....
***********************************************************************************
Man knows so much and does so little.
A great quote by R. Buckminster Fuller.
What I think it means;
That even though someones knows so much, they do so little in their life. They don't act on all the thing they could do with the things they know.

Quote
Sorry that I haven't posted in forever, not literally but you get what I mean. Anywho I will try and do more posts.
********************************************************************************
You never know.
This quote was thought up my moi (me) even other people have probably already said this. But this is one of my favourite quotes.
What I think it means;
That you never really know, like I belive there is a possibility of things like vampires and fairys and ghosts existing because like the quote states, you never know. There could be fairys living in your back garden, a monster could actually live under your bed, those bats at the zoo, they could be vampires. You never know.

My day with my cousins and Penelope
Every year (usually around the Easter period) my cousins (Kelsi, Abbey and Phoebe) come over to my house for around 4-5 days.
So Sunday was the third day of my cousins being over here. Today we went to the zoo!!! Goig to the zoo is a tradition for us, every time they come over we always go to the zoo.
So this morning we had to get up at about 9 and get ready, we left about 10:00-10:30. We drove away to the zoo, talking on the way there. When we got there we first had a quick look at the otters and kunekune pigs. The blue penguins were not out at the moment.
We walked around the zoo for quite a while looking at the animals and going to a few talks (were the zoo-keeper talks about the animal.)
We got to the chimpanzee's and like we do almost every year, we watched the chimp talk. We love the chimp's because 1, we joke about Michael (my brother) being related to the cousins and 2, we just love the chimp's.
When we got to the baboons I did my dance that I always do, the "I like big butts and I can not lie" dance. It is a bit of a tradition ever since one year I was being silly and started dancing around singing "I like, big butts and I can not lie" because you know, baboons have big butts so I was pretending to be a baboon. It's quite silly tradition but it's fun.
Once we were done we went to the gift shop, another zoo tradition. We all get to spend $10 given to us by Penelope (my step-mum.) I brought a ostrich toy and called it Carrot. It may sound strange but I'll give you an explanation, I am called ostrich by a select few people because of my height and apparently I run like an ostrich (I don't know if I actually do or not) and I named it Carrot because I am also called O'Carrot by a couple of my friends so I connected the two and named the ostrich, Carrot.
My cousin Kelis had gotten a lucky dip and inside her lucky dip was a plastic, dung beetle. Her first reaction was "EWW!!!!, it's an ugly thing!!!" We all laughed at her. She then called the dung beetle, Henry. She grew to like Henry. We all did.
We also played at the playground for a bit being egg's. That is kinda a tradition. We went on the swings and the see-saw (I got bored because my legs were to long for the see-saw.)
And that, concluded our day out

Here's the quote...
***********************************************************************************
It is not the length of life, but the depth of life.
This quote is by someone called Ralph Waldo Emerson.
What I think it means;

Bonus Quote...
Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.
This is a quote written by Benjamin Disraeli.
What I think it means;

Quote
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
A quote by Saint Teresa of Avila.
What I think this quote means;
Be kind and caring with others, because then they will like you. But be stern with yourself most of the time, because that is how you will make sure you achieve your goals.
-Shannon
PS I would like to know what other people think about the quotes and what they think they mean. I only say what I think they mean to me, not everyone else.

Aotea Lagoon
On Friday I went to Aotea Lagoon with Arielle Pila and Lily Pila, (you can visit their blogs from Nga Hau Mahana.) We drove to Aotea Lagoon around two o'clock in the afternoon. We were meeting my mums friend Deb and her daughter Macy at the park.
Once we were there we basically went straight to the playground (because we are very mature.) We played around on the playground for quite awhile. I nearly fell off on of these climbing things which was about 1.5-2 meters off the ground.
Arielle, Lily, Macy and I then all went over to the picnic mat and had some afternoon tea which consisted of popcorn, girl guide biscuits, marshmallow eggs, crackers and lemonade.
We then took my dog Rose for a walk around the Lagoon which Lily and Arielle complained about how she acted like a dog all the time. I just told them that she was a dog, so of course she was going to act like a dog. When we were walking Lily and Macy started to play on one if the exercise things. So me and Arielle went and sat down on a bench and waited.
All was well until someone walking their dog came along. Rose got pretty excited and charged off towards the dog causing me to nearly knock Arielle off the bench. The dog had finally left and Rose calmed down.
We then started walking back to the playground. When we got there we stayed for a bit longer before heading home.
