The Funky Lama... What's that all about?
A history lesson.
...admittedly, The Funky Lama has to sort out her notes. She'll fill this in shortly.
For now, here's some interesting facts!
Lamas are NOT the same as llamas.
Llamas are furry animals that are really cute,
big, kinda mean, but soft to the touch. Lamas...
okay, so there's only one, but she's just the bestest ever. :D
(see picture above to account for her massive
generosity towards a camera.. gee, she's pretty!*)

So... have you ever sat yourself down and decided you were going to do something, but you got distracted from it and forgot you ever began?
...No?
Well, that happens to me... often. A little too often.
So I'm appologizing for not getting on top of these changes I told everyone about AND I'm starting the autobiographical story of:
THE FUNKY LAMA.
The Beginning: A good place to start.
IN the beginning, there was born a little girl. She weighed the proper amount for a baby, 8 lbs. 6oz., and also just happened to be born in the beginning of September, properly making her a Virgo. She was given a name.. well, technically, she was given 4 names, but we'll use her first one: Alma. She didn't really care much about the name, as it was about 1:17 in the morning and she was rather cranky at not being able to sleep. When the doctors kept waking her up, she exacted revenge by waking up ALL the other babies on the Maternity floor of the hospital, and having a fit riot. Hearing the story later, most folks would deem her kind of crazy, but a born leader in her own right, and possibly a little selfish.
So there she was, this baby... all cute.. and cuddly... and sleepy, oh, lookit her sleep! She was the first one her family had seen in a long time. She got to be the first grandbaby on both sides of the family, and because of this was much adored. As she would come to find out, this also meant she was unknowingly saddled with all the expectations of the whole family, and therefore doomed. But we'll get into that later. Because at the moment, everyone just loved her. And CERTAIN grandpas *ahem* REALLY loved her, to the point of waking her nearly every naptime, just so he could rock her back to sleep again. Needless to say, she became rather spoiled in this time.
But the rule of our young queen was not without drastic event. In the year 1986, there happened a great flood in the city of her people that caused many, including the queen and her court, to flee from their homes in fear of the dangerously rising waters of the nearby river. Quite fortunately, Alma's grandparents lived in a town on higher ground not too far from her, and they gladly welcomed her to live there while the flood waters abated. That was her first encounter with that town upon the hill, but it would not be her last: here she would spend several years of her life.
She remained spoiled, however. So spoiled that when, about a year and a half after she began her queenly rule of the world, some other noisy, rather squishy and cuddly poot came into the picture, she didn't quite know what to do. Alma would come to understand that this over-sized doll was actually her sister, and would also come to find that the cuddly poot would remain both cuddly and a poot, only growning larger in size. There would be times when that over-sized poot would become the devil incarnate, but those times are far ahead. For now, she was just a poot. This poot was loved, too, by all the same people who loved Alma, and they even had two names for this little poot: the simple one was Annie. And so they were, sisters and a duo at last, Alma and Annie. What a wonderful beginning.
Somewhere around the age of 3, Alma developed an astounding imagination. And, also, an unrivaled ability to amuse herself with the adults in her life. She took to innitiating games of hide-and-seek without telling them, and became one of the best hiders you'll never find. One particularly rousing game of hide-and-seek found a few aunts and uncles roaming the streets in great panic looking for the toddler who ended up being in the coffee table. Such wonderful fun was never to be had again, however, as Alma's parents decided it was a very bad idea to do repeat the engagement.
While Alma had to find various other ways of entertaining herself (one of them was learning to curse at a young age), childhood was a relatively calm affair. Her queenship ended at around the same time as her sister and cousins were old enough to protest, and eventually she got too smart for her own good; she read a lot, and had a penchant for lording her "smarts" over those of her own age. Due to this tendancy she lost a lot of friends but, nothing to worry about, she was used to entertaining herself, and did so until her ego calmed down.

This statement is in no way** magically invented by thefunkylama herself, but by her adoring public and all those who truly worship at the Altar of the Funky Lama. She does, however, love her adoring fans enough to let them post such wonderful comments about her.
**this statement may not necessarily be true.
