Poetry.

There is a friend of mine, who I'm not sure if she would mind if I use her name, so we'll call her Celina for now. She had an away message that I thought was beautiful. It said:

How can everything be that much different than it was just three years ago today...

I thought that line was pure poetry. I don't know, it hit a chord with me. Change is all about us, and as much as I hate it, it can't be stopped. Yes, I'm talking about the good 'ole days, when things were much simpler. In the ____ years since middle school, I have changed so much. As have my friends. I miss those days when I got to see my best friends everyday. Now, don't misunderstand me, I have a few very good friends and maybe even a few best friends, but never will anyone be as close to me as were my friends back in middle school and late elementary school. I miss those wonderful people.

They've changed too. Become more distant from me. I don't know them anymore. I used to be able to pick out their Christmas presents blind folded, now it would take a hundred candles and a cheat sheet. It's sad really. I miss my friends and I miss the "old" days.

Don't worry, I'm not overly sad. I'll survive. It's just walking down memory lane can be a sad and some what painful thing. I think I'm like this because we were watching Jane Eyre,which is a sad and creepy movie (and romantic, that's the best part), but I like it very much. I'll give you a synopsis later. Remind me. It's late and I'm tired. Later. (By the way, the post time is true)

Music Video Time.

So, I was flipping through the channels and came across this music video. Now, I know, it's Disney, but just listen to the music. It's fun music. I like it. Whatchu think?

Trying For Happiness.

So, everything seems to be...annoying. (no, I'm not going to elaborate, I would like to (believe me, I love venting), but it's a tad to personal, so no!). The good news is I can still try to be Happy.

Okay, here's the background on this little exercise I'm going to try. There's a fellow blogger, whose blog, by the way, is totally awesome. You should go and check it out. http://www.mechanical-pencil-eraser.blogspot.com/ Well, every so often, he does a Happy List. And as you can deduce from the title, the Happy List is made up of things that make you happy (and if you couldn't figure that out, it's ok, I had to ask too). So here goes:


The Happy List:

Poppi's new puppy (it's a Schnauzer) (SO cute!)
My brand new GORGEOUS camera. (there's a picture later)
Spending time with my family and friends (shout out to D & D)!
Being off of school (that won't last much longer (wait, happy thoughts, happy thoughts))
My brand new trench coat. (no picture, but believe me, it's amazing too)
The holidays (of any kind)
Going shopping with friends
Bumping into someone you knew from a long time ago (that happened to me today)


Ok, I know the last one was a little corny, but guess what, I feel better! Woot! The Happy List works! Try it! (*Thanks Alex)


OKay, so this blog sucked big time, but I'm cold-ified (you know, sick). So, don't blame me, blame the bug. And the stupid antibodies; why don't you do your job? Anyways, it will be better later. I hope.

Lifted.

I watched a movie today. And it had an animated short film on it. It was called Lifted. It's a Pixar animated short film (to give some credit). I thought it was hilarious; I was laughing so hard, I was crying. I wanted to show you guys the ORIGINAL Lifted, but no one on YoutTube has thought of that yet. Then, I tried it myself. That didn't work out so great either. So here is a version of it.

Read (I'd say listen, but that's kind of impossible) VERY CAREFULLY. DO NOT (I repeat: DO NOT) listen to the music on the video. Turn your volume DOWN or rather, OFF. Turn your volume OFF!!!!!!!!!! Just imagine the normal sounds the video should have or make noises, so you're not totally sitting in complete silence (I know how some of you really hate silence)

The song they have on there totally messes up the video and the hilarity of it. So, please, I ask you, turn the sound on your computer off.

here goes:

I thought it was great. Ally, you're not a fan of animation; what did you think? And Alex, no idea what your preferences are; what did you think? And all you slobs out there; what did you think?

Country Music

OK, Ally, I know you hate country music, but just please listen to this song, even if it's just once. It's funny (not hilarious, but funny). My uncle sent it to my parental unit telling him it was his song. So, my family listened to it and they were laughing pretty hard. Here it is.

P.S. Ally, Tell me what you think.

Why Was I Watching This?

So, last night my Parental Units watched this CRAZY/WEIRD/ODD/SLIGHTY DISTURBING movie on ion. (Which, I am not a fan of the station anyways, so what do I care?) But, as bizarre and funky as this movie was, you couldn't pull away from it. It was like watching a car wreck; you just can't stop. And I think if I was able to see the whole thing from start to finish, I would like the movie. Which is a very frightening thought.

The movie is called The Hogfather, (yes, you read right; The Hogfather) it was about...well... I came in kind of late, so I'm not really sure what the plot line was. Let me find a synopsis and then, you can find out for yourself whether this is a blockbuster hit or a movie that burns your eye sockets and scars you for life.

Synopsis:
In the city of Ankh Morpork, most important city on the Discworld, it is Hogswatch - a midwinter festival of celebration and gift-giving which might remind you of quite another holiday on another world entirely (Christmas for the educationally challenged). The Hogfather - a jolly fat man, dressed in red - is distributing presents from his flying sleigh and all the children wait to hear trotter-beats on the roof. But this Hogswatch, they may have to wait a while... Someone, or something, wants the Hogfather out of the way. And if you're an anthropomorphic personification, you can't be helped by humans - but perhaps a, shall we say 'colleague', could assist. So, Death (voiced by Ian Richardson), his manservant Albert (Sir David Jason) and his granddaughter Susan (Michelle Dockery) set out to save the day, er, night. But while they're doing that, the redoubtable Mr. Teatime (Mark Warren) of the Guild of Assassins and his team, which includes, the inept student wizard Mr. Sideney (Nigel Planer) and the man-mountain Banjo (Stephen Marcus) set in motion a devious plan which means much, much more than just the end of Hogswatch.
[edited to fit my blog]

Anyways, I think the ending has a deeper meaning, but I missed too much of the move to grasp it.

Oh, and by the way, this movie is based off the book The Hogfather by Terry Pratchett.

And if you are one of the three people who think this should have been a blockbuster hit (don't worry I think the movie was good(that is to say, what I watched was good)), then you can find the whole movie on youtube, just type in the Hogfather, and look for the entry that says The Hogfather Part 1 of 22. Yes, it's a lOOOOOng movie.

So, there it is. Ally, I don't think you'll like this movie, but it's always good to know how kooky people are.

The Hogfather. Go for it.

Narrator.

This evening I was narrating my life. I know it sounds weird, but for a moment I was.

My ParentalUnit was telling me a story my Other Parental Unit told him earlier in the night. It was a passage from a book called Alice, Let's Eat by Calvin Trillin. It was a recipe (of sorts) of how to make carpe, which is a particularly boney, kind of ewwww fish. It said to nail the carpe to a plank. Then, you grill the carpe until the side of the plank is burnt. Then you flip the plank over, and cook the new side until it's burnt. Then, you eat the plank.

Well, at the moment he told me this, I couldn't laugh because I was brushing my teeth. And it isn't wise to laugh, while one is brushing one's teeth.

So, I held up one finger in a paused-moment sort-of fashion; telling him that I would be with him momentarily. And then I would, indeed, tell him my true reaction/witty answer to his story.

And I found myself looking in the mirror while I held up my finger. Holding up one, long, boney, crooked finger to tell him to wait. She realized that fingers are genuinely twisted things. Sort of haggish, yet pretty in their own way. She thought, Powerful things really, you can say so much with one's fingers. Like symbols for words. They can truly mean a lot.

Have you ever realized how crooked your fingers are. Go on, look at them. And when you put them together in a salute form, they always fit together like pieces of a puzzle. Weird, isn't it?

In case you were wondering, that was me narrating my life a paragraph ago. You know, the italicized block of word-age. Just In Case.

Christmas Blog

"If you give your money away, you can't be robbed." ~Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol (the cartoon version)

Christmas is not Christmas without:
Watching Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol, Dr. Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas, and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer; eating chocolate covered cherries; and listening to the Roches christmas cd; and waking up at an un-godly hour, to jump up-and-down on my parents bed, to get them up, to go an open christmas presents (they usually make me go back to sleep until seven (DARN!)).

I love christmas!

I love giving presents, getting presents, opening presents, watching people open presents, spending time with the people I love.

Around Christmas, Life is Good!
Life is Good anyways, but it is especially good around this time of year.

Now, don't worry I get the whole religious aspects of the holiday, but I won't go all religious on you, because who wants to be lectured, not me!!!!!!!

Anyways,
Have a VERY merry Christmas!!

O, and a Happy New Year! Although I'll probably have another blog by then.

That's my sad excuse for a blog. Sorry!

Random News Flashes About My Life.

Okay, so, I know I haven't existed for the past week, but I'm having writer's block. (Irony isn't it?) No offense. I have PLENTY (ally, you know what I'm talking about) to talk about, but it's all EXTREMELY personal. And as you know, I'm not that kind of person.

Last night, I watched 50 First Dates. I was very good. Romantic and had a good ending, except when you really think about it's truly sad. She will never remember who he is.
That's all I am to say about that, so as not to give anything away.


My grade is having to write a term paper. Let me tell you: eeeeeeeewWwWwW!!!!!!!!
But, my topic is very interesting. (I might have already written a blog about this, but hey, it's always good to review.) My topic is Women's Roles as Spies in the Civil War.
But what is so important about this is:
Last year, I wrote a term paper on Vermeer and his The Girl With A Pearl Earring. Now, I read the book, seen the painting (in real life), and liked Vermeer okay when I first started. It was an agonizing experience. I hated writing that paper, but all along I liked learning about it all. Now, I have this extreme.......appreciation.....of sorts.....for Vermeer and his art. And everytime I see his art somewhere I feel...pride (for lack of a better word).
So, what I am getting at is: I hope the same happens with my topic this time. I KNOW it'll be a painful process, but I think I will have a newfound appreciation for what women did to pave the way for the rights we enjoy today.

Van Morrison.

So I'm listening to Van Morrison right now. Brown Eyed Girl. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that song and most of his other songs. Right now, though, I'm in the mood for Moondance. Maybe I'll change the song. Hmmm. Tough desicion.

But, has anyone else noticed this? He sounds like a different person (with a different voice) with every single song he sings. It just doesn't sound like the same person is singing the songs. I dunno.

Can't you tell I'm not very inspired right now? Me too.

Maybe later inspiration will hit me. Like a schoolbus. And words will flow from my fingertips. Like when you reach into the silver-ware drawer and accidently grab that REALLY sharp knife and wished they'd put warning signs on the outside of these things. Ouch!

That doesn't make sense, does it? Shout if it does to you.
I should just stop while I'm ahead.

LaTeR.

Historical Society Trip.

Condensed verison of the reason for the story in the first place: My history class has to write a term paper. Woopie... (Can you hear the enthusiasm in my voice?) My topic is Women's Roles as Spies in the Civil War. (Which, actually, is very interesting). I have to get 50 notecards (in other words, 5o quotes about women spies) by THURSDAY. Can you say: EEEEK!!!!

So, today I went to the Historical Society. Spent my time there from 3-5 pm. There was so much to learn. How to call books from the back. What the freaky call numbers/letters meant (i.e. Mss 5 B855067). etc. And THEN I had to wait to actually get the books. So the helper-lady-person brought me a book from the back that I had requested. She handed it to me along with the two Styrofoam wedges used to keep the book from touching the table, and the little bean-bag thing used to keep the pages flat without hurting the book from 1865. I sat down, pencil in hand, excited because finally I can start taking notes and getting information in general, looked down, and then got back up again and went over to the lady's desk. I leaned against her desk and said, "So,....It's in German." Can you believe it? German. (Just my Luck.) The lady said, "Oh, um....Well, let me just find you another book." It turns out that they had a second copy in English, which she found after a little research. I was so grateful.

By the way, I got a grand total of TWO notecards done by five o'clock.

Tomorrow is going to be a lOOOng day.

Chuck.

Or as I like to call it Good Luck Chuck (on occasion). I know it's a movie; Ally gets pissed off when I call it that. But Whatever.

Seriously, Greatest Show EVER!!!!
Here's my favorite clip:



I'm such a romantic. HaHa. (but really, chick flicks are like my life, truthfully)
I love this clip because it was like the moment of truth. I think it would be easier to understand if you watched the show. But, it's like the two love interests FINALLY kiss (and sort of show their feelings for each other). AMAZING!

But, the writer's strike is messing it all up. Have been W/O (let me repeat: WITHOUT) Chuck for TWO (count 'em TWO) weeks. It's very depressing. It's like for people who do drugs; can't help but watch. I just wish the stupid people who caused the freaking writer's strike would just give credit where credit is due, so I can watch my shows. Seriously people I miss my weekly dose of Chuck and other shows I'm addicted to. It's like quiting cold turkey; It DOESN'T WORK!!!! I need my crack; Where are my shows?


P.S. Chuck (when it's not being interupted by a writer's strike) normally comes on Monday nights at 8:00 (for you eastenders).

ViVa Chuck!!!!!!

Bugs Bunny. Another Classic.

Enough Said.

Scary Mary.

Remember Mary Poppins? I love that movie. It's a classic.

Well, I found this on YouTube. And thought it was HILARIOUS. Creepy, but extremely funny!!!
Somebody's got a weird thought process. Twisted Disney.

Here we go:

Isn't that great?

Okay, so I know this was on the news tonight, but I missed. So, a parental unit found it on youtube for me. It's HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!! (special ShOuT oUt to MOLLY!!!!!)

Just Watch It.

Isn't it great?

Words, Words, Good for the Brain, The more you know.......Crap!

Okay, so in English class, We are reading Edgar Allan Poe stuff. And I had a distant appreciation of him BEFORE we started reading them in class. Now, I'm like WTH?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?

Have you ever read The Fall of The House Of Usher? Well, the vocabulary in it is INTENSE! (shout out to Ally: you should read it, it has some good (evil and complicated, but good) words in it).

And by using the level of vocabulary it does, it confuzzes the HELL out of me! I mean, I consider myself to have a somewhat advanced level of vocabulary; that, by the way, I use on a regular basis (you know, I'm the nerd in class using the word fabricate and erudite (Now, I know it's not Shakespeare level, but if you think about it, normal people DON'T use those words)). And now, after having read this story, I feel rather dumb. Which, makes me a tad morose.

Now, I know what you're thinking. She just used all of these elaborate words; whose going to have the guts to tell her she spelled confused wrong? Don't worry guys, I know I spelled it wrong. But, I coined a way to spell that word. Confuzzed. I like that. So, I've started using that way of spelling it, but now I have a problem. I can't remember how to spell it the correct way. Yes, I know what you're thinking and I did, in fact, have to go look up how to spell said word.


Anyways, that's my rant on spelling. Have a Nice Day! ;-)

More Cats.

This is why I love cats. Okay, well, one of the reasons.

Fun-ny!!!!!!!

Life As We Know It.

Okay, so that phrase just jumped into my head and it sounded good as a title, so it stays.

We are gathered here today to hear a lecture on...

Hold up. I have to add this in here:
"My very good friend, Molly, is (at this very moment in time) looking up what she has to do for english homework. Also, she is contemplating the ever lasting question of: why do we have to do homework in the first place?"
Molly, if you read this: CLASSIC!!!! ;-)
(For people who feel left out of the loop: I asked Molly to give me a subject to write about, but she told me she was looking up english homework and thus, that statement was born.)


And now for our main event:

I was look up lyrics to a song and came across this video, and found it extremely funny.
I'm sorry if any Brangelina fans takes offense to this. But, I think it's funny.

Maybe more when inspiration hits me.

On Billy Collins.

In response to Ally's post about Billy Collins, I would just like to say that Billy Collins IS pretty funny, witty, and cool. I heard him live at a recording of Prairie Home-Companion. He read many of his poems out loud. My favorite is called the Country. When he read it, it was so funny I nearly wet my pants. Here it is:

The Country
by Billy Collins

I wondered about you
when you told me never to leave
a box of wooden, strike-anywhere matches
lying around the house because the mice

might get into them and start a fire.
But your face was absolutely straight
when you twisted the lid down on the round tin
where the matches, you said, are always stowed.

Who could sleep that night?
Who could whisk away the thought
of the one unlikely mouse
padding along a cold water pipe

behind the floral wallpaper
gripping a single wooden match
between the needles of his teeth?
Who could not see him rounding a corner,

the blue tip scratching against a rough-hewn beam,
the sudden flare, and the creature
for one bright, shining moment
suddenly thrust ahead of his time -

now a fire-starter, now a torchbearer
in a forgotten ritual, little brown druid
illuminating some ancient night.
Who could fail to notice,

lit up in the blazing insulation,
the tiny looks of wonderment on the faces
of his fellow mice, onetime inhabitants
of what once was your house in the country?

http://www.stpetershigh.org.uk/DEPARTMENTS/ENGLISH_DEPT/PRUSH/KS4_Resources/Billy_Collins_project.html

Isn't that funny? *Ally, when I find my other book by him, you can read it. It's called Nine Horses. It's very good.

Life, Interims, and Books.

Okay, first off: I don't mean to be a nag, but seriously. FIVE posts and not a single comment. I understand you're busy. I get it. I'm busy as crap, but really guys. **Promptly sings** "I'm all alone, there's no one here beside me...." or " Lonely, I am so lonely, I've got nobody of my own..." Unless you wnat me to keep singing you might want to leave a comment. (even if it's "hi." (I'd be fine with that.))

Next, today was interims. And I am happy to say that my lowest grade is a B-. Ironically, it's in my best subject. Math. (Ally shudders. ;-) )

Next, I just finished a book. I liked it. It's one of those that requires no brain/heart cells because it's an easy read and nothing bad happens to "pull the ole heart strings" (thanks to Calvin and Hobbes for supplying me with that quote). Such as, nobody dies. But, there is a romance. And anything with a romance makes me happy. Ask anyone, they'll tell you. I'm a sap for sappy romances. (yes, I just said that, can you believe it?) Anyways, it's called Lucky T and it's by Kate Brian.

She wrote another book called Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys and it is amazing. It's about a girl whose parents are part of the military and they're shipped off to Korea. Megan doesn't want to go, so she convinces her parents to let her stay in the U.S. For the next year, she lives with a family who has 7 (count 'em, SEVEN!) boys of all various ages. This book is about how she handles living with seven "brothers" (more like boyfriends). But, it's a VERY good book. I highly recommend it.

AND (for my next trick, I'll be pulling a rabbit out of a hat (just kidding).

I've started on my new Janet Evanovich book. I'm up to number 8!!! I'm excited, this one looks good. I'm on page eight and already I'm laughing my head off (okay so it's not THAT funny, but it will be. I promise!) For the next few days, people will see me walking down the hallway/street/anywhere I can squeeze time in, reading "that dam book" (as some of my friends have put it). Anyways, I'm trying to finish my homework early, so I can a.) watch my t.v. shows (WooHoo!Ugly Betty, My Name Is Earl, CSI) and b.) read my promising book. But, it doesn't look like it's gonna happen. Oh well, I'll survive. **Promptly sings** (just kidding).

Anyways, more later. Which probably means tomorrow. *wink wink, nudge nudge*

byEEE!!!

P.s. Sorry, the spacing on this post is weird. Blogger is being temperamental.

Above the Influence.

Okay so, have you ever seen this commercial?

I've seen this commercial so many times, I could recite it in my sleep.

And all I have to say about this commercial is :

If your dog starts to speak to you about your drug problem. You might want to stop taking whatever it is that's causing your dog to talk to you. Oh, and go see a psychiatrist.

Have a nice day. ;-)

Ocelots.

The other day, a friend of mine asked me "If you could be any animal in the world, what would you be?"

And that got me thinking. SO, I asked someone who knew me really well, and they said I would want to be an Ocelot.

Ocelot.

I said what the heck?

So I looked it up.

An Ocelot is a type of feline. And I thought wow my friend really does know me!

It's a beautiful cat. Supposedly, it lives in the jungle, climbs trees, and lounge about gracefully. Everything that rocks. It's like perfect. Besides the raw meat eating; but I would be a cat, so I don't think I would care.

Here's a picture:

Isn't she beautiful?

And now for the interact portion of our talk:

What would you want to be?

Well, that's it, for now. Adios!

Funny Request.

A friend of mine said something hilarious today.

She told me that the federal government came out today with a request that the general public pack more neatly. And she told me this while she was packing.

She said, "How does one pack more neatly?"

I told her, "Don't worry about it, it's silly to request that."

She said, "Well, if I get strip searched because my bra's weren't folded just right, then it's on your head."

This made me laugh.

Laughable Moments in the Real World. And Mondays.

So first off, today was the LONGEST, Freaking Monday in the history of Monday's on the face of this planet.

Next, at some point tonight, Ally will have some brain dead moments posted on her blog. They were great. Perfect. Anyways, it's a requirement that you read them.

Okay, so yesterday's quote of the day:

"The End of Pii is Coming."
Explanation: Pii is an infinite number. When pii ends, the world does too. Right?

Today's quote of the day:

"Politics is like drama in high school, except it effects more people."
Explanation: There is no need for one because that is soooooo true.

Put Your Records On.

So, today has been long and crazy, but extremely good. That story is for another day. Today (or rather, tonight) I want to talk about a song that I've sort of just discovered.
It's called Put Your Records On By Corinne Bailey Rae.
It's a beautiful song, in tune and wordage (coined word)(it means that poetry coming from the perfect words)
I love it. It's going on my list of favorite songs.
And I've decided to put the lyrics here. Now, I know the drill. I'm gonna put the lyrics here and your gonna go, whatever and not read them. But, let me tell you, JUST READ THEM. They are beautiful. (*And if you hate them, then stop reading them) At least give them a chance. Two seconds of your time, is all that is needed.

So, here you go:


Put Your Records On
By Corinne Bailey Rae

Three little birds sat on my window
And they told me I don't need to worry
Summer came like cinnamon, so sweet
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete

Maybe sometimes, we got it wrong, but it’s alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Oh, don’t you hesitate

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

Blue as the sky, sun burnt (sunburned) and lonely,
Sipping tea in a bar by the roadside,
(Just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you
Gotta love that afro hair-do
Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change
Don't you think it's strange?

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

Trust more than I could take, pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realize that you don't even have to try any longer?
Do what you want to!

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down

Oh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow


Aren't they just lovely words? I think so. So, now that you've read the words, now your ready for the song. It just makes the words even better; the tune does, that is. Go and listen to the song, it's great.

And now I must say goodnight, because I'm exhausted. Tomorrow is a new day. Adios, until much, much later.

GoodNight.

P.s. I usually like to give credit where credit is due, so here is the website I got the lyrics from:

You Gotta Love Divine Loopholes.

Okay, so I owe it to my public (*wink*) to write a post tonight. I have to ponder on the subject, though. Here goes: ponder, ponder, ponder, ponder.

AHA! I know what we're gonna talk about. But, I'm changing names, so I don't freak people out.

A relative of mine and I were talking. She really wants to go to Benin (an awesome country in Africa), for reasons YOU don't need to know. Anyways, technically difficulties aside, she felt it would be sort of morally wrong to pray for her ability to go to Benin. So, I did it for her. I told her about it later, and she said it was probably okay for me to pray for her, it might get better results. I told "yea, those divine loopholes really come in handy sometimes." She laughed.

Okay, so I know our topic wasn't very long tonight, but that's the best I can do.

More when life gets more...........Rhubarb-y. Rhubarb Pie. Yum.

I think.

I mean I've had it before, but I can't remember what it tastes like. Special shout-out to my Aunty-Em.

..MODNAR..RANDOM..

Have you ever been in a random mood? Like wanting/urging to say random things just to see how they will react to what you've said?

nudist colony
The life of cellphone batteries
Controversial string
little purple sippy-cup
calvin and hobbes go blind
wire cutters are the reason for my golden finger
mass reproduction


Can you tell that I'm in that type of mood?
Well, I am.

Aloha!

A Present for Hobbs!

Today my friend Ally (AKA Hobbs) requested an award for using her large vocabulary. So here it is:

I am happy that you can use big words correctly. Usually when I try to use big words, I use them incorrectly, and end up looking like an idiot.

Yay! Big Words!

Yay! The ability to use them correctly in a sentence!

Yay! Hobbs!

So, it keeps messing up my spacing, and it won't let me fix it. It looks bad. Sorry.

One. 1. Uno. Un. Ein. ένας. 1 つ. 1개. Um.одно.一.

English. Numbers. Spanish. French. German. Greek. Japanese. Korean. Portuguese. Russian. Chinese.

Hi. One more thing.

As you can see, the only person who comments on my blog is Ally. I think Morgan and Tori did once. So, it's kinda sad. And I've fixed it so anyone can leave me a message, even if they don't have an account. I really love feed back. Now critics kinda bother me, but if you can't resist the urge; I can take some, I'll live.

So go ahead. Comment me. I like to know that I'm not just talking to myself.(Don't get me wrong talking to oneself is sometimes very entertaining, but it gets old pretty quick).

And now for something completely different (Monty-Python!):

Life goes on.

Mellow. NASA.

Today is Mellow Day. Not Nationally, just Me-ly. =)
I'm listening to Bubbly by Colbie Caillat. That's a great song. It's good for Mellow Day today.

Ooo! Did you hear?
OKay before I tell you, you have to understand something about me, I am a nerd and a dork. Now, before you get all freaked out, thinking oh crap! we have another depressive person on the internet, let me explain. To me the words: dork, nerd, and geek; all have separate meanings. Ready?

Nerd-One who is smart and intelliegent, and/or one who strives for excellence. (positive)
Dork-One who does things differently than the Barbie/PopTart norm. (positive)
Geek-An extreme between the two. (negative)

Since you know my definitions. NOW, I can tell you.
NASA has a satalite/probe thing taking data from Saturn. And they have heard noises coming from the big planet. They know the noises are occurring during the lightning storms. They aren't quite sure what the noises are (probably lightning...); but they do know they are from electron emissions (or something to that effect; I'm writing this from memory, so don't quote me).

Now, I find this fascinating. And special shout-out to Ally:
Can you believe you have such a nerdy person as a friend? =)

Anyways, that was my rave to NASA! YAY! Go NASA!!

Maybe more when I find something more interesting to the general public to write about. Don't wait up, this might take a while.

It's Mechanical Pencil Eraser!

So, I was looking at this guy's blog. It's called Mechanical Pencil Eraser. It's REALLY funny. He had this extremely random survey on it. One of the questions was:

10. How many pairs of shoes does the average necromancer keep in his wardrobe?
His answer was: One, if that.

I was like, okaaay... So, In order for me to actually answer that question for myself, I had to go and look the word up.

And the entry for Dictionary.com was:

nec·ro·man·cy-
1. a method of divination through alleged communication with the dead; black art.
2. magic in general, esp. that practiced by a witch or sorcerer; sorcery; witchcraft; conjuration.

So that got me thinking. What is the significance of shoes and a necromancer; why would a nercomancer have a different number of shoes than anybody else in the world?

Then I thought: How did Alex know what the hell a necromancer was? Is that one of those words that everybody should/does know?
OR: How did he know how to answer that question? Did he look up the word, or am I just the loser, who had to look it up?
OR: Am I looking way to far in to this subject and should just SHUT UP?

Anways, that's my rant and english issue for the day. (I think.)

See Janet. See Janet Write.

Have you ever heard of Janet Evanovich?

Well, she is a writer. She writes this series of Stephanie Plum novels. They are HILARIOUS!!! There are thirteen of them, and I'm on number seven.

Meet Stephanie Plum, and average (yet pretty) young woman, who lives in New Jersey. She worked for a lingerie store and got laid off, now she needs money. She becomes a bounty hunter, somebody who brings in FTA's (Failure To Appear- term for bail jumpers; people who went to jail, got out on bail, and then miss their court date). It's comical, she won't even use a gun (she keeps it in her cookie jar); instead she uses a stun gun and pepper spray.

Anyways, there is this man named Joe Morelli. She has a history with him. But, all in all, he's her romance/sex appeal. She has flings with him, through out the series.

These books are about murder, sex/romance, and comedy. They are perfect.
The titles go:

One for the Money
Two for the Dough
Three to get Deadly
Four Score
High Five
Hot Six
Seven Up
And so on...

And they are my favorite. So, please go out and read them. Go get:

Calvin and Hobbes

So have you ever heard of the comic strip, Calvin and Hobbes?

Well, I LOVE Calvin and Hobbes.

My friend Tori gives nicknames to everyone. Mine is Calvin. And my friend Ally is Hobbs (and I know I spelled it weird, but that's how we spell it).

Anyways, I love Calvin and Hobbes because they are so funny:

In case you can read that here's the link:

I was gonna say more, but I can't remember. Thanks for distracting me.

English Time!

Hi.
Okay, I've been thinking about things to talk about and I've thought of some great topics, and some not so great, but we're gonna talk about them anyways.

First on our agenda:
It's time for some English:

Did you know that the word noun is a noun? Isn't that weird? Okay, weird in a dorky way? Yes, I'll say it is.

Next,
The word of today is Erudite. It means scholarly and bookish. I like that word.

*sigh* We're done with English, you can relax now.

AMUSING!

Does any else find CSI the video game highly amusing?

I mean I love CSI very much, but the video game? Don't you think that's a little extreme?


CSI. HAHA!




There will be an update on things that amuse me, just as soon as I remember more things that amuse me. =)

Demented Book.

So today is a hungry day. I'm not sure why I said that, maybe it's because I'm starving.

Okay, since I can't think of a thing to write about tonight, we're going to talk about The Rapture of Canaan. It's a book I'm reading for school. Now, as most of you know, the books teachers pick out for reading are pretty much never good. And this (to me) is no exception. Now, most of the people in my class would disagree. And I will admit this book is well written, but the story line is about as twisted as one of those crunch cinnamon stick from Taco Bell. You have to read it to understand what I'm talking about.

Now, here's my recommendation: If you hate twisted stories about topics that make you uncomfortable: DON'T READ THIS BOOK. BUT, if you can appreciate a typically twisted, so many turns and surprises, you can hardly keep your pants on, then by all means GO AND READ THIS BOOK.

The Rapture of Cannan, by Sheri Reynolds.

Maybe Life will be More Interesting Tomorrow.

The Gods Must Be Crazy.

Hi.
Um, today is Monday. Tomorrow is Tuesday. I just thought of our subject for today. TADA!:

Do you remember "The Gods Must Be Crazy"?

It was a movie made in the 1980's. It has a crazy story line, but it's AMAZING. Here goes: There's tribe in the African Kalahari desert called the Bushman. One day, an empty Coke bottle drops from the sky as a gift from the god's. It causes havoc in the tribe and Ni (one of the Bushman) is going to travel to the end of the Earth to get rid of it. There's more, but you just have to watch it. It's cute and funny and romantic. And if you love slap-stick comedy (which I happen to be a fan of) it's perfect. It starts out as a documenary and evolves into a perfect (and original) story. It was so famous in the 1980's that they made a sequel. I haven't seen the sequel yet. But, when I do I'll be sure to give you my review of it.

Ally, this movie is going onto our list of MUST SEE MOVIES! I think you'll like it, maybe not. Now, I must warn you. This movie starts off slowly, but believe me it becomes a very good movie.

So, what do you think? It's cute right? I think so.

Adult Pleasures = Hooping

Have you ever heard of Hooping? It's a sport. Well, sort of. It's hula-hooping, but special. What you do is you buy that big roll of ploy tubing usually used for irrigation. Then buy multi-colored electrical tape. Then, well, the intructions are better here: http://www.jasonunbound.com/hoops.html

The point is, is that you make your own, specific to you. The height is important because you measure the tubing out so the hoop touches between your belly-button and the top of your chest. Then, you get to show off your creative skills and decorate it with electrical tape.

I went to a hooping party last night. It was amazing. It started @ 7:30 and didn't end until 11:30. Well, I ended up staying over the whole night, but that's not important to the hooping story. We made our hoops and decorated them, that took a while. At about 9:30, we (like seven people total) went outside, with a boom-box playing the Pussycat Dolls, and in the middle of the street we started hooping. We stayed out there for 2 hours hooping. It was a whole lot of fun. I'm amazed that we didn't wake the neighbors. Today, I have bruises (not visible though) on my waist. My friends have bruises that are visible on their hips and arms. And that makes me laugh; who ever thought hula-hooping could cause bodily harm? But, it was worth it.

So, get on the internet, and look up hooping, it's cool. There are a lot of hooping videos on YouTube. There are a ot of REALLY talented people out there. So, I say you make one, it's fun. You won't be dissapointed, I promise.


Just to show you how cool some of the videos are, here's a very cool one (it's a little dirty, but she's extremely talented):

Ever consider hooping with fire?

And did you know you can use LED lights to light your hoop, too?

I hope these videos have inspired you. GO HOOPING!!

How Much Time Do People Spend On These Ideas?

So, how was your Halloween? Mine was fun, to say the least. The day of Halloween, my school allows you to dress up. And let me tell you, some of those costumes were amazing. We had: a smurf, winter edition Barbie, Peter Pan, Snow White, Salt and pepper, ketchup and mustard, a couple of fairies, a mime, a substitute teacher, Daphne and Velma, A group of hunters and their half-dead deer, many Indians and Cowboys, a tree, a bunch of old people, Larry the Cucumber and Bob the Tomato, a Raggedy-Ann doll, Posh Spice and Beckham, Big Bird, a Benedictine Cadet, and a bee; just to name a few. =)

I dressed up as Audrey Hepburn. I love Audrey Hepburn. I trick-or-treated a little bit, but not much. I spent the evening hanging with my boyfriend and other various friends. A couple of years back into my Halloweening experiences; I have been: ketchup (and a friend of mine was the McDonald's (why does that look weird? I bet I spelled that wrong, that's sad isn't it?)), a barcode, a packet of dental floss, and one of the flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz. Aren't I creative? (it's okay to be egotistical sometimes).

One of my friends, Tori said "I love Halloween. It's my favorite holiday." And I'm thinking: WHY? I mean I love Halloween as much as the next person, but Hell NO, it's not my FAVORITE holiday. Christmas is just about neck and neck with my Birthday and maybe Halloween is third, but DEFINITELY NOT my favorite. Sure, I love candy, but presents that don't disappear within the first 24 hours of obtaining them are sooooo much better. Hardware. It rules.

So anyways, no complaints about Halloween. I loved hanging with my friends and boyfriend. That was fun. But, that's also personal, so no I will not go into detail. Sorry, that's just how I roll. (and yes I just said that.)

More When Life Inspires Me.

Mini-Pigs

Okay so I haven't been around for a while (don't ask why, because I'm not gonna answer you). But, I'm here now, and yes, it's alright to rejoice. We are gonna talk about Mini-Pigs. First off, they are AMAZING period. Here's one:

I mean how is that not AMAZING? It's soooo cute. Can you say: AWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!?

here's another:

Once again: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's the deal on these absolutely ADORABLE pigs. Somewhere in England (I think; I know there were some in Australia or New Zealand) this guy couldn't make his pigs have babies. SO, after countless tries, she had what is pretty much considered a litter of runts. But, they were a big success, now this guy has fame and probably fortune (I mean if you were featured in an American news story, then surely those pigs are selling for Aztec gold. In other words, them pigs are money makers now. Expensive!!) He sold (originally) two of his cuties to some famous guy in England for 300 euros total; there's no telling what they cost now.

Pigs, the new celebrity pet fab!

These pigs are pretty much house pets. But, instead of being like normal pigs (fat and lazy) it's important to keep them lean and fit. These pigs are so cute; it just makes sense that they would be a great house pet.

One more thing: I want one!!!! Don't you?

'Ello Popit!

Okay, so my name is not important cuz well thats the kind of person I am. But, just so people aren't like "hey u no that blog, yea the pink one, well,...etc.", you can call me Snow or Kitty. Either or. Snow b/c well u don't need to know that either and Kitty b/c its been my nickname since the 1st grade, thank you Sammy.
So I started this blog because my friend (http://allyvg.blogspot.com/), who btw is amazing period, has the most amazing blog EVER and i was like YO i wanna try it to, now I know mine isn't as awesome as hers (yes, i've come to accept that), but ill try.
