When I was younger, I used to think that “only child” was pronounced as “lonely child”, and I actually think that this pronunciation is more accurate, in a way.
Every summer, I get out of school and stay home while both my mom and dad continue to work at the U of I from 8 until 5. So I basically have 9 hours each day to do…whatever. So in an average summer, I have 495 hours of complete aloneness.
Obviously, this gives me plenty of time to do experiments, make movies (Lego movies!) and otherwise just mess around. However, after about 1 1/2 months or so, some sort of psychological phenomenon occurs–I go insane.

Some documented proof that this occurs around the middle of the month of July:
1) The Desert: late July of 2005 (I think…it was made at 1 in the morning )
2) Attempt at making a flying machine: August of 1999 (unsuccessful, obviously)
3) Hiking with Altoids: A Documentary: a strange movie made in late July of 2000
4) The Grandpa Twins: another strange movie with sock puppets made in July of 1997, I think

And these are just the ones I remember.

I kinda like the craziness…I come up with some pretty cool things. Plus, I don’t have to deal with any siblings!
