1. I now have an iBook G4! MAC FTW!
2. It's summer!
3. Did I mention my iBook G4?

BOOKS NEVER TO READ: The "House of Night" series.
Just don't. I'm serious. The plot stinks, the characters are flat, and the main character's favorite 'swear' is "poopie". :/ Bleh.
If you insist on reading them, here's a spoiler: Zoey loses something in "Chosen", and it's not her car keys. :P



Moving on.

My weird fantabulouslyawesome life is going all whack on me. Since the last day of school is next week for me, I've been going all emo and depressed because time is flying. On the brightish side, my first boyfriend has come and gone. Not sure if that's good or not.

I finally saw "Up", which is actually a bit of a downer at some parts. The title is a tad misleading... but it's a great movie. And yes, I cried, even though I told myself it's-only-a-movie-and-you're-in-the-middle-of-a-movie-theater-don't-be-a-baby, I still cried. It was one of those sweet/sad/hillarious/heartwarming movies that I guess sometimes only animation giants like Pixar can pull off.

"Stay Gold" by Utada Hikaru is a very good song. Lately I've also been into "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga and "Boom Boom Pow" by the Black Eyed Peas. Heh. Listening and liking popular music is a bit of a strange thing for me... on that same sort of note, I even kind of like "Heartless" by Kanye West. (Maybe I've caught some sort of weird disease, and that's what's making me bounce up and down in my chair when I hear some of these songs...)

Also, I have discovered a love for Jeff Dunham. I thought ventriloquists only entertained kids-- I was wrong. I especially like Achmed and the Bill Clinton tribute joke.

Anyway.

I'll try to post more often. One of my real-life buds has friended me, so I'll be reading her stuff and borrowing tips from it and what not......

Remember: I hid under your porch because I love you. :3 Have a nice day~

Wow. Okay then.

Apparently, it's "Bleep 'n Golden!", and is meant to give you big hair; similar to that of our "favorite" governor. It sounds like an entertaining novelty item, though I think it'd be easier to just get some of that "Fat Hair" stuff from the pharmacy or something-- seeing as the Blago shampoo is only available through request.

Perhaps this is a chance for the Illinois political man to be known for something other than accepting bribes and trying to sell Obama's senate seat. If people really like Blago Shampoo (and conditioner!), perhaps Blagojevich can redeem himself. Psh, yeah right. Maybe if he had a fairy godmother or a pair of red sparkly high heels...

Hey, and isn't there another Jesus cheeto on the loose? I'm glad no one's going super-crazy over it, because it is just an oddly shaped snack food, people. Still, part of me wouldn't be surprised if some sort of cheeto-worshipping group got started up because of it. (I hope that doesn't happen, but it's possible...)

Okay, I'm done with my random blurb. Thanks for reading.


What some big Blago hair? Go to blagohair.com to order your shampoo and conditioner today......!

I am not the first to rant about public restrooms (and yes, I do wonder why they call them "rest" rooms), but I might possibly be the first to rant about rest-stop facilities in general. I don't know because I haven't Googled it because I'm too lazy, but here goes.
 

1.  Everything will smell funny. This includes the people in the rest-stop at the time.
2. There will be absolutely no resting involved
3. There will always be fancily-named coffee that tastes exactly like or worse than your usual Eight O'Clock stuff or whatever
4. All tables/counters have one to two layers of grease minimum.
5. Most surfaces have not been washed since the construction of the rest-stop.
6. If you need to fill up on gas, you will step in a rainbow-colored puddle when you get out of your car.
7. Everything. Leaks. The restroom will be practically flooding; there will be more of the aforementioned gas puddles in the parking lot; any sort of dispenser drips; etc.
8. The soap in the restrooms smells funny. (See rule number one)
9. On your way back to your car, you will almost be run over by a large car or motorcycle.
10. And, lastly, you will not rest at any time during your stop. Especially not on those crumb-and-God-knows-what-else-covered chairs.

Another rule for me: 
I will not be self-deprecating, because God do I love myself. <333

(Exception to this rule: if I've done something really, REALLY stupid.)

How do you get to my profile, I know you're asking? Just click "Me Talking About Mys".

Yeah, that's right: Mys.

Accidentally short for "myself". And I can't remember how to change that link name. Poo.


Also, I now have a boyfriend, which, in my opinion, is twice as good as having a life at the moment. Yay me. :3


I'll try to think of something interesting to say later. (Possibly three months from now.) Cheers.
 

I looked over my previous entries and realized that most of them were Rather Crap. So, though I have not deleted them (I'm too chicken), I have hidden them from The Public Eye for the time being. Hopefully they will never see the light of my computer screen ever again.

So, my current mission is to REMAKE THIS JOURNAL!! >D as my subject thingy proudly proclaims. I have some new rules for myself, which are listed below: 

1. I will not obsess about boring things
2. I will not nag
3. I will not nag about how no one seems to be reading my stuff
4. I will try not to write when I am PMSing; going through A Mood; etc.
5. I SHALL BE WITTY, PRETTY, AND HETERO
6. I will not be biased, braggarty, etc.
7. I will not make my journal entries insanely long unless absolutely neccessary

Today was a truly beautiful winter day. Fluffy snow that clung to my coat fell from the pearly gray sky. I went cross-country skiing with my mom and my dog, Tasha. She chased after two snowplows, terrorized a turkey, and carried a deer leg three-quarters of the way home. She looked so proud, holding her head up high with the mangy, bony leg clutched in her mouth...

TGIHACO (The-Guy-I-Have-a-Crush-On) is still on my mind sometimes. Another one of my friends knows about TGIHACO now... heehee. Pretty soon it won't be a secret. I wonder if that'll be a good thing or not? 

I'm rereading the Twilight series. I do love my sparkly vampires and (literally) hot werewolves. I read New Moon, and then I borrowed Twilight from a friend... perhaps I should try rereading the books in order. For the most part, the writing isn't all that good. It gets progressively better, though, and comes to its peak in Breaking Dawn. I've also read The Host, which I actually like better than the Twilight series. I think. My opinions are very... ah.... flexible.

I've been falling out of the habit of writing in my REAL journal, the one that is in my backpack somewhere right now. My Real Journal is sort of easier for me to write in than this. I mean-- duh, everything I write HERE is public in some way, shape, or form. Though it's kind of fun to make up fake names for people.

A delicious, spicy smell is coming from the kitchen. It's my dad's cooking, and I'm hungry. See ya~

Last night I babysat a young girl, probably about four years old; and her older sister, who's in fifth grade. Not an hour after my parents had left, the younger kid threw up. Luckily on the hardwood floor. Yes, I cleaned it up. Was I particularly happy about it? No. Did I breathe through my nose at all while doing so? No. Thank God for blocked sinuses. I also sprayed Febreeze over the spot where the mess had been, and over the next hour it soaked into the floor.

So now I understand what Mom went through whenever she had to clean up cat, dog, or child vomit. That doesn't mean I'll be volunteering to mop up, though.

Yesterday was also the last day of school before winter vacation. A lot of schools freaked about the coming 'blizzard' and closed. However, my school held out long enough for a half-day. The decision that the day would be halved was announced over the loud-speaker during my second period study hall. I was sliiiightly preoccupied by a friend of mine, who was drawing anatomically correct snowmen. We ended up going to the math room to watch The Incedibles for a while. I got to sit in front of my crush~ X] After that, there was a meeting just for eighth-graders about the upcoming Eighth Grade Trip. I CANNOT WAIT!!! We'll be staying at a hotel over night, and we get to pick four roommates. One of the teachers accidentally said "You can chose who you'll be sleeping with," and this cracked everyone up. As expected, one kid asked if their roommates could be of the opposite gender. Of course, the answer was no.

Without that blizzard, my school day would have been depressingly normal-- we even had a test in social studies!! XP But overall it was a good day. =] I was already missing my friends on the way home on the bus... we're planning on having a Christmas get-together sometime in the upcoming weeks.

HOORAY FOR SNOW~!!!!!
