Pseudo-Intellectual Ramblings

It’s very early right now. It’s eight thirty eight.

I was supposed to go to the movies with Allie today, but she cancelled. It’s all right, this never usually happens. We’re going to try and hang out once every month during the year, because we both know, that we probably won’t be as close this year as we were last year, simply because of our schedule.

So, one of my friends on myspace keeps commenting me and messaging me. He’s an old friend, I guess. It’s weird on how guys always seem to give me more attention than I want, or need. Second period science this year, totally proves it.. Ugh.
But yeah, I keep getting comments/messages, which makes me sign in on myspace. Myspace sucks- simple as that. I hate their layout of their site, it annoys me alot. And, it takes forever to sign in, but the courteous person that I am, I go out of my way and reply.. *roll eyes*

It is nice, though, hearing from him again. I’ve been feeling very remniscent lately, and I’m surprised that I am actually talking to someone from my past. Things like this, make me believe in synchronicity more.
And, I want to make a point of this- I’ve changed alot since elementary school. It’s natural, and it’s for the better. It’s so weird- do you think I’ll be saying it next year? ["I've changed alot since jr. high."].

It’s so weird knowing that this is my last year at the junior high. I don’t know whether to be happy or sad about it. Because, jr. high has become my comfort zone- my friends are all here, we’re all going to transfer up to the high school together next year. Next year, my friends will be around, but it’ll be just like starting jr. high all over again. I really hope that I keep my friends during the high school years, my friends are perfect, we all love each other and support each other, I’d hate to lose that, even when it’s time to go to college. I know that’s quite a stretch, but mark my words.

“If I had AIDS, I’d give my blood to the terrorists.”
Gosh, people from forums say the darndest things.. XD

I listened to Fall Out Boy this morning, for the first time in a very long time, lately, FUTCT is getting too overhyped for me to stand it. I listened to TTTYG though, which is my favorite record by them, and I was thinking, “Wow, I haven’t listened to riffy pop-punk like this in a long time.”. I mean, this summer has consisted of Something Corporate and Jack’s Mannequin. Joy Electric, and Saves The Day. Sure, an occasional Starting Line session would come by, but they’re not as riffy as Fall Out Boy is. Gosh, I wish they didn’t get all mainstream, I nearly cried because I started thinking.. “Fall Out Boy will never produce anything like, ‘Dead On Arrival’, or ‘Calm Before The Storm’, in the future.”.

Knit, knit, knit, purl, purl… That’s what k3p2 means.

It feels very gloomy outside. I don’t think it’s raining. But it is very cold, and the blinds are shut- who knew?

Myth-ion improbable
Something Myth Inc.

Myth-told tales
Myth Alliances
Myth-taken identity

The books that are bolded are the books that I have. The last three that are bolded are the ones I went out of my way to buy. *sarcastic smile*

Allie and I are going to the movies tomorrow, to see Talladega Nights. She says it’s a good movie.

I’m surprised that I like knitting so much, it’d be nice to have a new sweater every few weeks- considering my absolute love for sweaters. I just hope that I don’t screw it up.

Mom and Andy are supposed to go shopping together today. I don’t think that’s going to happen.

I finally started making my sweater… It’s so addicting. I thought that I wouldn’t like making it- considering the fact that it’s something to do while watching tv… Either way- I picked out this beautiful ivory colored yarn.. It’s so smooth. The sweater’s going to be striped with another equally soft and beautiful blue yarn. It still takes forever. I had to cast on a 151 times, and I have to make fifteen rows. Do the math, and that’s 2265 stitches, and that’s only the first row. And consider the fact that I have to make the sleeves and a yoke. This is going to be very time consuming. But, I have a few days to kill before school starts- and this is a way to do so.

I’ve been baking like crazy lately. I made some awesome peach-blueberry cobbler the day before yesterday; it was delicious. We never usually have peaches or blueberries around the house- so it was a nice change of pace to make something that requires said fruit. Last night, I made blueberry cobbler with the leftover frozen blueberries- it wasn’t as good as the peach-blueberry one, but we didn’t have any more peaches- dad only bought me one can of peaches.

It rained last night. It hasn’t rained in such a long time- I missed its smell. It was nice. My dogs enjoyed it alot, too. Seeing the dogs lick the rainwater off the patio- a sight that I’ve missed, too. I like the rain here, but it’d be nice to live somewhere that has a different climate.
“… You said the rain’s the rain, some air’d be good for you.”

Last night I finally finished The Sweet Myth-ery Of Life. It was very good. I loved it. Even though it added the romantic portion of Skeeve’s life to it, it was still pretty nice to read. The cliffhanger was brilliant. Gleep died!!! I can’t believe that, honestly. He started talking! The last thing he said, was Skeeve’s name! Gleep has always been my most favorite character in the series, and if he really does die, I’m going to be really sad.
But, gosh, the next book in the series- does not address the problem at ALL! It’s like, the author couldn’t think about what to write, so he decided to go back between the second and third book [we're on the thirteenth book], and write what happens there.
.. But, I really want to know what happens to Gleep!!!

The Sweet Myth-ery Of Life had some really good points. Skeeve is a very self-conscious guy, he’s in charge of his company, but he has a really hard time making decisions for it; he thinks about how everyone counts on him. And General Badaxe [he's in charge of the army of Possiltum, where Skeeve is stationed because he has to decide whether or not he shound marry Queen Hemlock, the queen of Possiltum. ] tells him that nobody counts on him, they are confident in his decision, and that they want him to do what he wants to do, as opposed to what he thinks that everyone else wants. It was a very good part in the book. It changed my perception on things. It sounds very little in here, because I had to summarize it dramatically, in the book, it makes more sense.

I finally picked out my pattern for my sweater. I just need to pick out more yarn.

You see, it’s no where in sight, but at least she knows she’s pretty

I woke up and ate Rice Crispies. It’s been a while since I’ve heard the snap, crackle, and pop of those things. They’re pretty loud. It woke me up a little. I poured on two cups of sugar, and I was all better.

I’m still trying to find a sweater pattern to knit. I’m relatively new to knitting- I’ve knit scarves before, plenty of times. But, I have a knack for picking hobbies up very quickly- I guess it’s a gift.

Gosh, we have one more week until school starts!! I need to empty out my backpack. I picked out my outfit.. I’m surprised. But, it sucks, because you pick out your outfit for the first day, and then the second day of school comes around, and then it’s like, “Now what?”. So, I have to pick out what I have to wear the next day, and I end up wearing a sweatshirt.. XD

Summer is officially over when- the 4400, the dead zone, monk, and psych all end in the same three-day span. It’s depressing, because you have to wait a whole year to see the 4400 again. The 4400 is one of my most anticipated shows- since it has an actual plot. The other shows I watch, usually consist of different story lines that start and finish in the same episode, the 4400 is one huge story line, carried over three seasons.

Gosh- having the school year start.. Makes me realize that there’s no way I’m going to get sick this year. Honestly- I get sick every single year. Specifically- on holiday break. Last year sucked mostly because I was sick a quarter of the time. It’s gross. I look less than attractive when I’m sick.

I should be getting my fabric today in the mail. I ordered it such a long time ago, it seems!
I checked my balance on my card- I have twenty seven dollars. That means that I’ve spent over seventy dollars this summer. I never spend that much money.. Gosh. And, now I’m starting to find the good deals.

You know..
I read somewhere, that Jack’s Mannequin is not here to stay. I think they’re right. I mean- their songs are all centered around Andrew’s summer.
And, AVA doesn’t feel right either. Their record sales are not that great- despite Tom’s constant ego before their record dropped, preaching his words, “This record will change the world and music forever.”. I don’t think that happened - at all.
Greg from Punchline quit the band. Their next two shows are the last ones with him in it. I just found that interesting- the band has been together for a year and a half? That’s quite quick.
Big City Dreams broke up too. This summer has been full of bands breaking up.

Well, P!ATD and Jack’s Mannequin are touring, and they’re coming to Seattle in a few months. Jack’s is actually opening for P!ATD. A truly great band, opening for a bad one. Way to go. At least I can watch Jack’s Mannequin, and leave before Panic! comes on. Thank god, I don’t have to go through a whole show of Bloodhound-gang impersonators [lyrically]. Err.. I really want to go, actually. Andrew is getting better- but I’d hate for something to happen and he won’t be around to tour- and I wouldn’t be able to see a great show.

All the blood that’s boiling in my veins, and the food I can’t keep down.

Internet search part five = halfway over. Ironically- it wasn’t finished over the internet. We went to Barnes and Noble today, and I bought three books. Yes, it cost me twenty two dollars. I’ll earn that money back quickly- mom and dad owe me sixteen dollars, and my allowance is almost here.
Why did I say halfway? Oh, because I still need to find some freaking SoCo merch! I’m surprised on how hard it is to find!

I saw Mary at Barnes and Noble, reading Oh My Goth. She says that if I have the chance, that I should read it. The simple title, and her enthusiasm, might be enough for me to remember.

I want to take up spinning. That’s making yarn. It sounds cool- especially since you can dye the yarn with kool-aid. But, I don’t know. You need special equipment + alot of time to make it. Why did I find out about this right before school starts?

I’m still looking to make a sweater. But the longer I anticipate it, the more that I don’t really want to do it. I’m thinking of buying one from target. Just because I have a ten dollar cert in my pocket, and I’m very willing to use it up.

I’m locked in my hotel room, turning over our goodbyes.

I’ve been thinking of using that ^^ quote for quite a long time.. Now, I actually used it.
It’s pretty late- I’m hardly ever online this late. Dad’s at a movie with George, mom’s on the phone. Andy’s watching TV. One light’s on, the other’s off in the living room, where I am currently typing this. Times like this remind me of the one time we had a substitute in third grade. She was nice- we were in third grade. We were doing math, and I thought to myself, “I hope I remember this.”. We were doing math with those darned yellow blocks, and I was on the side of the room by the window. The window, the sink, the three other people on my “team”, and the projector running at the front of the room.
My crush was on the other side of the room, his name was a beautiful icy blue. He was taller than me, by alot. I suppose I find comfort in people that are taller than I am. But, that’s pretty easy- since I’m pretty short. He was one of my first guy friends that I had an actual friendship with, that I had a crush on. Oh, and there was that other boy, that I was friends with but had no feelings for. He actually liked me. He moved away, and his best friend, in fifth grade, asked me, “Do you ever think about ______? I’m visiting him over Christmas break, and he’s been asking about you.”. That made me feel very special.
“No, I never think about him. Tell him that I do.”
I don’t know why I said that. I certainly thought about him time and time again, just wondering where he is, what’s going on with him. It surprised me that I said that he should tell him that I did think about him. My little ten-year-old mind, I suppose was mature. I think I just wanted attention.

Internet search part five- Double duty

August 26, 2006 · No Comments

Went garage sale-ing today. I picked up two new pieces of fabric [I suspect it's wool. One's gray, the other's black. The lady was going to use them for slacks, but I'm going to make an a-line skirt with godets.. I see those everywhere lately, and I'm starting to like them] for three dollars.
I also saw Lorren and Shelley! I was SO surprised that they were hosting a garage sale! I didn’t look around much, considering that I was talking to Lorren and Shelley most of the time. Mom and dad bought some stuff, I just don’t know what. Lorren was selling her old backpack- I was tempted to buy it, gosh darn it- ten cents for that piece of art? =D

I got home- and the only thing I worried about was the fact that I didn’t find any MythAdventure books at any garage sale. So, I got online. Hence, internet search part five. I am getting more frustrated, and no purchases have gone through yet. I have seventy dollars- but I’m not willing to spend six dollars worth of shipping, they’re crazy.

We might go to the blackberry festival next weekend. I’m looking forward to it. I went a really long time ago [I mean, way back when I lived in housing!], and I really liked going. Everytime I hear about it again, I want to go, but we don’t.

I started realizing that out of all the people that went to JP and are currently attending CK, I’m the only one who hasn’t gone ghetto. Amazing.

Faith is just a promise I will make for you

Today equals maze day.
1. My picture sucks. The dude was like, “Okay, tilt your head a tiny bit.. Okay, now say ‘Whooppee!”, and I did, and by impulse I did this sarcastic smile. I think I look constipated in the picture. But, everyone, of course, says that I look “beautiful.”. That word has been used too much lately to describe me.
2. My locker is RIGHT next to Mrs. Quick’s room.
3. NO FOOD SCIENCE FOR ME IN FIRST SEMESTER.
4. I have Huntley. That sums it up.
5. I’m in Algebra 2. I don’t know how that happened.

The gods hate me.
[And, David did NOT get any cuter. That sums it up, double.]

Allie’s mom was there, she hugged me like a million times. I smell like Allie’s mother right now- because she hugged me so much. This is nice.. ?

Er.. Nobody got really cute this summer. I was hoping that SOMEONE would- so I could have some kind of crush on somebody, and have at least SOMETHING to justify it. It’s totally not working.

And hey, sitting here thinking about what a crappy time I had at maze really doesn’t make it better. HAPPY TIME!
1. When I first got there, Lorren, as always, came up and gave me the hugest hug. Honestly, I love knowing that my friends love me that much. They all actually cared when I came, and I got a very warm welcome. It’s usually not something that I expect or think about.
2. I did see a pretty cute dude. Too bad, he does not go to our school. He goes to the high school, gosh.
3. I saw Ryan- wearing the same thing as always. It’s nice to know that things hardly ever change- this is just an example.
4. It feels pretty awesome walking by that long line, and having every third person saying hello to me.

So, that’s my day.
I really hope I enjoy my classes this year. I hope that I have friends in my classes. Because, you know, this IS my last year at the junior high. Can you imagine, in a year, I’m going to be stressing out about starting high school? The actual high school?

Hey now, the straw dog’s out in the street.

August 24, 2006 · No Comments

I’ve been working on that dress from that pattern all day long. It’s been quite a trip- and I don’t think I’m even halfway through. It keeps my mind busy- so I guess that’s all right. Summer’s nearly over, and when I’m bored, that’s all I seem to think about. It makes me feel sad.

I was invited to go to the fair today with Megan and her family, but mom had an eye doctor appointment [she got tested for glaucoma, she's fine though], and dad has to work. So, I could not go..

Tomorrow’s maze! Oh, what should I wear?! I want to wear something nice- not just my sweatshirt. Riza and I are sharing lockers this year, actually. That was not expected at all! The reason why I wanted to be partners with teagan in the first place was because I was hoping that this way, we wouldn’t lose touch in ninth grade. But, I don’t think we’ll lose touch- we will probably end up being in the library just like last year. I’m happy that we have this established thing in the morning!

I’m waiting and waiting for House to come. Dad got it from blockbuster- but it’s on his queue and.. The gods hate me! It keeps skipping house, because it’s out of stock, but I guess I’ll just suck it up. I’m hoping it’ll come soon enough- so I can watch it AND catch the season premiere =D

I’ve been looking online constantly, trying to find:
1. Something Corporate/Jack’s Mannequin/Starting Line posters
2. Any book that I currently do not have in the MythAdventures series. Half.com is a pretty cool place to go to get cheap books. But of course, Myth-Told Tales is one of the most expensive books on there.

Dude- two weeks and school starts. Oh.. How I miss the summer already. It’ll be a long time before I actually have absolutely nothing to do for three months. I hope this year won’t be stressful. I definitely hope that it won’t be dramatic. I doubt it will be- last year was very mellow. The only factor that made everything stressful was me- this year, I don’t think that I’ll make it bad.

I am currently listening to Brand New. I never thought, in a million years, that I’d ever sit here, listening to Brand New, and enjoying it. And here I am, a million years later. It’s really good. So far, I like:
Sic Transit Gloria.. Glory Fades
The Quiet Things That No One Knows
Mix Tape
Am I Wrong

Heh. I’ve only downloaded five songs and I like four. Not bad. Everyone’s looking forward to [or was looking forward to..] their new record.. Saying how great it’ll be.

Bright Eyes= okay; I only like two of their songs. But, it’s a new addition to my ipod. Heh. I hear nothing but good things about this band- I’m going to give them another shot.

Maze Day is indeed, on Friday. We’re taking Riza. And she’s going to be my locker buddy. I’m going to have to tell Teagan that I can’t be her partner this year.. Oh god.. How’s this going to work?! I feel so guilty.. I have to put myself in these positions.

“This is the first song for your mix tape, and it’s short just like your temper.”

This morning I saw the season two finale of House.. I screamed at the tv when I found out that it’s the finale!!! Seriously. It was a great finale- I’m also happy that the premiere of season three is coming up in two weeks! =D

I also saw Vanished.. Oh, do I need another show to love?
Actually, yes.. Because Psych, 4400, monk, and the dead zone are all ending, so I need something to fill up that time. Plus, 24 is coming out reallyyy soon! Oh, the anticipation!!!

Preseason week three (Aug 24-28)

August 22, 2006 · No Comments

My hands smell like bleach. Clorox smells funny. Clorox smells like bleach.
INTERNET SEARCH PART FOUR!
Looking for a Starting Line/Something Corporate poster. Simply put- I have seventy dollars and I’m only willing to pay five. Maybe eight if I’m truly desperate. I’ve been to merchnow, merchdirect, interpunk, and smartpunk. The gods hate me.

Maze is on Friday. Joy of joys- I have to pick my locker partner. Either Riza or Teagan. I told Teagan I would at the end of the year last year. But Riza and I do carpool anyways. How will I break the news to teagan? Goshdarnit.

150 No. 10, Peel & Seal Securite Envelopes

August 21, 2006 · No Comments

Sleepover = total blast.
What was the movie list, you ask?
Final Destination three [we watched like fifteen minutes of it.. Riza and Angela got scared. I don't blame them- pretty scary stuff on there. Even though it's cool- the girl got cooked in the tanning bed, man!]
Benchwarmers [Which, everyone loved. Watched from beginning to end + special bonus features.]
Scary Movie 4 [So funny.. It was pretty late when we watched it though. We went to sleep at around midnight.]

Television list:
House
Psych
Twilight Zone
Daily Buzz
The Soup

OH! And 24. They are now totally hooked. I have done my duty- my life is complete.

We baked hot fudge pudding cake [which, was loved by all] and cheese soup. Cheese soup = not savored by Angela. Keep in mind- it’s been pretty warm around here.

But yeah- we had tons of fun. Heather’s ideas totally helped out. But, no ten fingers… I did find out that Cody has a xanga because Riza invaded my computer and made me look at it.

Don’t you love that feeling you get right after someone leaves the house? Everything + everyone = Quiet. It was way too quiet for me. So I got online.

P.S. Trying to get into Bright Eyes, Brand New, and more Midtown [specifically- Forget What You Know].

Life’s no storybook.. I need a lover that I don’t have to love.

August 20, 2006 · No Comments

Soo..
Riza’s coming in an hour or so. But she’d probably show up ten minutes early.

I’ve been cleaning all day long - seriously, no breaks since eleven thirty.
Darn.. I just realized- I haven’t eaten lunch!
Cleaned my room, living room, kitchen, vacuumed the stairs and upstairs and downstairs. I would’ve been fine if I didn’t have to vacuum- I was so angry having to do that. The vacuum is so clunky!

/complaint

I need to find something to make for dinner for/with the girls [Yes, Heather- I'm taking your advice.]

I just took a very brief listen to 37 Everywhere [Punchline has been complimented over and over about how great this record is]. I like it- from what I heard. And then I realized it- They are a FBR band. That’s not a bad thing- but I was making a point to myself that not all catchy bands are FBR bands.. And this turned it around.

Don’t you love the space between where you are and what you have planned?
The next forty [or thirty, which is more accurate] are going to be full of doings that happen only in the last sixty [seconds].
Punctuality is a friend of a friend [he said, she said],
We don’t have any truths to bend,
It’s the simple equation that’s kept this alive.
It’s also been the time apart that did the trick.
One, two, seven, and eight- soon to be nine.
Those five years in between kept us girls, especially keen.
.. And her, especially clean [Get the drift, boys will be boys].
It seems like we’ve turned our PB & J friendship, into the three musketeers- never would’ve expected your sister to be the new addition.

Sorry- when that “once in a while” comes along- when I actually get inspiration to write something- I end up writing it here.

NFL preseason national television schedule (all times eastern)

August 19, 2006 · No Comments

Today’s been quite a day, indeed.

We went to McChord today, and I was under the false impression that we were heading to Seattle. We ended up going to seattle anyways, and now that I’m more educated about foreign candies, I spent ten dollars on candies. In reality, I spent thirty dollars, but mom and dad are paying me back twenty.

I finally finished MYTH Inc In Action, now I’m on the second part of my book- The Sweet Myth-ery of Life. It’s not as romantic/dramatic as the blurb described, but I like it that way. Skeeve deserves a love interest, but the books would be ruined if he didn’t. Bunny is in love with him, and he has no clue- that keeps it interesting. As Nunzio says, “The Boss is fine and dandy when it comes to dealing with our business, but when it comes to skirts, he has no clue.” [They mention females as skirts and broads. I wish everyone talked like that.]

All in all, I’m very tired. I nearly fell asleep in the car because of the traffic- it got pretty boring. We were in the same spot for half an hour. Even hearing “Invisible Monsters” by motion city soundtrack [knowing motion city soundtrack, their songs are very loud and electric. And, Justin's voice in that song could wake anyone up, serious.] made me nearly fall asleep. Reading wasn’t helping much either. Andy fell asleep, as did mom [I think], Dad was certainly close to it- but he couldn’t fall asleep- he was driving!

Riza and Angela are coming over tomorrow night, and sleeping over [Like, OMGZ, SLUMBER PAR-TAY! XD]. This means that I have to clean up my room. And plan out what movies we are going to watch, since dad and andy are going to be watching football the whole time. I hate football with a passion- it makes weekends extremely boring, because I don’t go downstairs. Especially if dad has a friend over- hearing them scream about who scored a point/passed the ball/got eaten by a monster/ blah blah blah. But, I digress.

So, this leaves me the most unexpected question to ever ask on my blog:
What’s something creative to do at a sleepover?

Riza and Angela and I were completely bored the last time they were over. We watched The Office. We played on their laptops’. We ate. We slept. We woke up, ate waffles, and they went home. At least this time, we’re granted two hours of fun.

I like my “new” hair. It makes me look more mature. And, it behaves! No frizz for Amanda today, nu-uh.

Wow. I guess chatting is a huge thing now? Fueled By Ramen had a chatroom discussion today, with This Providence, Cute Is What We Aim For.. And I think that’s it? I don’t know. Gatsby’s American Dream is going to have one next week too.

My hair is now dyed. It’s just kind of wet, so I can’t see how dark it is.

I finally converted the Surrounded By Lions files, and alot of their songs sound the same. That disappoints me. I should upload the b-sides to my ipod, they should be somewhat different. One song mentioned Seattle, I thought that was cool.

It’s pretty warm- I thought fall was coming! Gosh darn it, I miss the rain, now. Not awesome.

Why leave when you claim it is love? But why stay when you’re not the only one?

August 18, 2006 · No Comments

Today is the day that my hair is supposed to be dyed. I’m looking forward to how it’ll come out. But then again, it might not even happen.
I bought some new fabric last night. Eight dollars for three yards. It’s pretty good- since it is cotton jersey. Cotton jersey is like the cocaine of fabrics, I tell you. Six bucks a yard, normally!

Last night, I listened to blink, again. It’s comforting to know a hundred songs, in its entirety, by heart.

I woke up this morning, and made biscuits. I haven’t eaten them yet, hence, I haven’t eaten breakfast yet.

I watched Grey’s Anatomy last night. I’ve never watched it before, but this episode was very good. There was a bomb in the hospital, it was cool. It was like, 24 meets House. I don’t know if I’ll watch another episode, though, despite how good it was.

This is the first thing I remember, and now it’s the last thing on my mind.

Mom and I went to see Hancock Fabrics; it’s been talking about a closure for a while so we thought that checking it out might bring some awesome discounts. And little did we know- it finally closed. So, we went to Sally’s, and I got some hair dye. The lady who helped us was really nice.. And then I found out that she’s the manager [nametags help like that.].

Oh! INTERNET SEARCH PART THREE.
I’m on the lookout for cheap cotton jersey fabric.. So I can make the cutest/easiest dress in the world. It’s like this. . It’s not usually my style, but this lady made one, and I like it.

… And the search is partially over. I just can’t get into my card to see my balance. I am mad. Very angry, because I’m frustrated.

I feel humorous. IM RULE TIME!!
XIX. If the internet kicks you off, and then you sign back on, it is your duty to re-start the conversation. I don’t know why this is, but if the other person IM’s you with “kicked off?” They are obsessed with you.
XX. Don’t say BRB and drive to Mexico. BRB has a ten-minute time limit. If your friend betrays this rule, I allow you to hit him with his own keyboard.
XVIII. Don’t put quizzes in your profile. What is the goal, exactly? To figure out who is your most prolific stalker?
XXIII. Please set your profile background color to- oh, I don’t know- white? What’s with these crackheads making their profile background yellow, and their font pink? I’m having seizures over here! I’m looking at a profile, not an 80’s porno, tone it down a bit.
XXV. Never quote yourself in your own profile. People aren’t going to think you’re smart or clever, get over yourself.
XXVII. If you’re in a relationship, and you’re butt-ugly, and your significant other is equally nas-tay, please don’t leave little innuendous away messages about each other. This includes, “In the shower.. With you know who.” and “Under the sheets.”. Yuck. I mean, I tend to eat while I’m online.

I read that last night. And posted them here. There are more, but I lost the link where I got them from- it was very funny. I edited it for my personal use on here- to avoid cursing on this ‘ere blog.

It’s eleven eleven, once more! Wow, I love this.

I woke up- watched the highly anticipated episode of house, it was in two parts. It was about Dr. Foreman, and since I am a n00b, I cried during this episode!! Seriously- I cried. And, for the first time in a very long time, I screamed, “OH MY GOD!”, but, if you were to record it and play it back, it sounded like this:
“OMGZ!!”
Hehe. I love writing that.
I gasped, cried, and screamed those three words that I tend to avoid saying.

… Sadly, the episode ended where Foreman was numb. In his toe. I am still dying to find out more. I hate cliffhangers.

I hope Dad gets me House on DVD. I really need to catch up, since the new season is starting up.

Wow, Maze is next week? I can’t believe school is so close. Ninth grade is going to be great. I want it to be, so badly. Eighth grade wasn’t fun, but seventh was. Odd numbers are always better.

Edit-
I figured out the whole foreman thing all on my own. They said that if his surgery went wrong somehow, he’d end up disabled. So, he’s disabled now, or at least, that’s my guess.

Oh… I hate internet pranks. I just clicked a link that I thought was a link to Paramore’s leak.. And I ended up seeing old man-porn. Gross.
