movies are awesome!

I watched THREE movies today. Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, Grease, and Bio Dome. They were on VHS', so it was a kickback to the old days. Although really, since I use my VCR a LOT, it's not really a kickback, as much as just a regular part of my life. Truth.

Throughout the day, I made pizza with this dough my dad bought at the farmers market this morning, and it was ... good, actually! It had some seasoning IN THE DOUGH, so it was quite tasty! Although I got kind of frustrated because the cheese grater I was using was LAME. AS in, it was smaller and not grating a lot of cheese!

On a side note, I once watched an episode of Law and Order: SVU (the best one!), and this girl had her face grated from a cheese grater. OUCH! It hurts just to accidently get your finger in the way.

I also looked through pictures, and had a few laughs. It was kind of amusing. Although I cringe at how I used to dress. Really, pajama pants all the time? -_- Shameful! At least now I don't even leave the house wearing pajama pants.

So right now I'm just scanning pictures into the computer because my mom wants pictures for her to look at, on the computer! *slaps hands to face* It should be exciting for her. But to show you one of the pictures, here you go:

WINTER OF '95!


It was THREE feet of snow! Epic amounts, amirite? Yes. That is my sister and I, by the way. I am in the pink snow suit. WITH THE PURPLE HAT.

Yeah!

My feet hurt. The heels do, actually.

I went to a concert tonight to see Faber Drive. There was a few other bands that I don't particularly remember, but I think one of the bands that was playing (The Other Colour?) was okey dokey. We didn't even get through the doors until 8, so that was like "YOU MISSED ONE BAND PLAYING".

Man, that was LOUD! My ears were ringing and I didn't even enjoy it. I didn't even get my usual concert goodness feeling. DISAPPOINTING.

So I didn't blog yesterday because my power went out! I couldn't! It was out of my hands, that one. So I went to bed around 9:30PM and enjoyed a nice sleep. I was still tired this morning, though. I was all "moar sleep!" Except it wasn't that bad, because by the time I got to school, I was okay. I started working on a study sheet for my test in business on Monday, and listened to my teacher talk to another teacher (...) about teaching and how it's LAME NOW.

Or, it's lame to get a job.

Yes. It's nice to know I'm planning on getting a job in a dying sector.

WELL, there is ALWAYS going to be kids needed to be taught... So yeah! I decided I MIGHT go into teaching HIGH SCHOOL KIDS. Or something. I don't know. I don't know. I might even just decide after teaching go into becoming a librarian. I shrug my shoulders.

Sigh.

I had a vanilla latte today. It was good. I want another one. This is actually the first time I ever ordered something COFFEE related for myself. I mean, I've had ICED CAPPS from Tim Hortons, but never actually like, a latte or anything. I burnt my tongue, though. It'll take a day or two for it to regenerate, so lets cross our fingers in this happening ASAP!

(Human bodies are amazing! Although devils at times, too... I mean, cancer? Diseases? NOT COOL.)

But it's nice it's Friday. TGIF!

Pictures! One of them I didn't even have in my personal collection

Hello.

Here are some pictures I took. Some with my cell phone camera, and the others with an actual camera. You can obviously tell the quality differences. But hey, that doesn't really matter! (Yeah? Yeah.)



That's the recipe for the cookies I made on Sunday. It's from a magazine.



Here is the dough mixed up. The first time I made it, it was lighter. Something changed during the different batches. This one was also REALLY STICKY.



Those are the finished product! Or at least one batch full. THERE WAS A LOT OF THEM! It took me like three hours to finish my cooking. -__-



Here are some strawberries. They were HUGE! But to give them some perspective...



That's them beside a juice box! THERE IS NO WAY THOSE STRAWBERRIES ARE NATURAL! There are some chemicals doing something magical... I would bet my left toenail! (You can also see I was hungry, `cause I took a bite of the one on the right. Ha.)



Here is my general wall-ness by my bed. You can see the Harry Potter calender posters and that Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants one. I totally ripped apart my calender to get my wall decorated. But it's okay, because I have a kitten/puppy calender still.



Here's just a bit of a close up from the previous picture. I got those two painting things in Florence, Italy. I saw a guy doing them on the street, and I was like ! So I bought them.

This is just a random shot that I asked if it was okay to put in, and it was "yes". You can see Cosine hiding in the corner. She's actually sleeping, but whatever. ^__^



Here is my poster, CLOSE UP. I got it when I went to see the Blue Man Group last year. Did you know I went alone? YEAH. I met them ALONE. It was lonely.


NEW MOON POSTER! ALERT! ALERT! Yeah. I know. *hides face* But whatever. You can also see some clutter. *points*



Some ATTEMPT at being awesome with putting down posters. I failed. But still, I like it!



Some more clutter with a bit of a bookshelf I have in my room. YEAH. I don't know. You can also see my backpack, in the bottom left corner. It's the checkered thing.



That's my light switch! It's from Cars. Yeah. I like that movie quite a bit! Except I bought my light switch at a dollar store. It was either Cars or Hannah Montana. Cars obviously won out on that.



That's my stuffed animals, my bed, the bottom of my poster, AND me in the corner. ALSO! WILLOW! She's awesome. ^__^



Here is a picture of a racoon! Not just ONE racoon, but TWO. It's a picture, though. As I said before. Yes. =D I thought I would take a picture of it. Random!



The Beer Store! I took this on the way to school on... Monday? I was on the bus, so please don't judge the side not so clear shot! THANKS!



All the Harry Potter books at co-op. I took this while eating a butter tart. A butter tart is this:




(BY THE WAY, I didn't take that picture. I stole it. Oops.)

ANYWAY....



Here is a bit of the YA shelf. The top four shelves, anyway. And in the back, you can see a crazy fort, and a bit of the general fiction section. I keep this section organized!



As I was texting Leah, I found some of the ridiculous romance books out there, and took that picture. It's a funny title... It sounds corny, this book. AND FULL OF SEXUAL GOOD TIMES! =O



This is a picture of my favorite kind of juice! I took this at Wal Mart. Yeah.



These are some of the books I got today. You can see the majority of them are Harry Potter. =) And some random books that I have not read yet. Go Baby-Sitters club!



This picture both makes me cringe and laugh at the same time. My dad was actually just walking by the computer and backtracked when he saw that. I can understand. (By the way, I HATE that kind of facial hair. EW!)



My sister bought this cup today, so I decided to take a picture of it. I thought it was kind of nice. =) CARE BEARS! CARE BEAR COUNTDOWN, FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO ONE! WHO'S THAT COMING, FROM SOMEWHERE UP IN THE SKY?!

And here is a picture my sister took a few weekends ago:



YES! A BLACK BEAR!! Freaky, huh?! I thought so.

I bought a BIG drink today!!

Hello!

Glee is on tonight. I'm excited for it. I saw a preview for it, and they were all "you can't sing anymore" and Rachel was all "WHAT?!" And the doctor was all, "just kidding". Haha.

Today I was THISCLOSE to leaving early, but this girl brought in a BIG box full of YA books. And since I'm responsible for the YA section, I had to stay. "I had to stay"... As in, I had to stay until 4, guaranteed. Disappointing! Not really. After co-op, I went to Starbucks, and bought a strawberry and cream frapp. I bought a venti for SOME ODD REASON, and my eyes popped out of my face when I saw the size.

THAT WAS HUGE!

So I got two straws, and shared it with my sister.

(I know the reason why I got the venti. First off, I had the change, and secondly, it was just like, a few more dimes to get it. SO WHY NOT!?)

Right now there is this comedy thing on, and I want to watch it! So I will talk to you later blog. Expect some awesome stuff later this week.

THIS ISN'T HOGWARTS!

I hate this place,
I can barely keep the misery off my face
Yeah there's one place I'd much rather be
Taking transfiguration and arithmancy
And hangig' with my friends in the owlery
But instead I'm learning parts of speech
And tryin' not to fall asleep
And avoiding the only girl in school who might like me

It's so grotesque
When the guy sittin' next to me drools all over his desk
And I almost raise my hand to complain
But then I realize that I want to be doin' the same
So I put my head down on my desk as well
And suddenly I'm learning a spell
To make my teacher's head swe
But then he wakes me up
And I can't help but yell...

ENGORGIO

This isn't Hogwarts
This is a concrete box
And the pictures on the wall are never going to talk
And the teachers don't care that the kids don't try
And the most magical thing we have is fluorescent lights
And they don't put you in Hufflepuff if you're not cool
Instead they sort you in the parking lot after school
And I think if I looked into the Mirror of Erised
I'd be wearing wizard robes with gold and red

I'm not saying that I'm not proud to be a nerd
But public school ain't no place for a wizard
Yeah public school ain't no place for a wizard

Y'know what's gross
When the lunch meat looks like three day old soggy toast
But as I ate it anyway I overheard
This guy I hardly know calling me a nerd
So I cast Sectumsempra inside my mind
I wish there were house elves making my food
And everything was perfectly spiced
And the only one being rude was the poltergeist

And here's what's true
I'd do pretty much anything to go to wizard school
I'd even call Delores Umbridge my friend
If it meant I never had to go to gym again
But I look around at all of this crap
That's part of my life
No ghosts stalking the halls
Or hanging in the bathroom stalls
And the stairs don't move
Cause there's no stairs at all

This isn't Hogwarts
This is a concrete box
And the pictures on the wall are never going to talk
And the teachers don't care that the kids don't try
And the most magical thing we have is fluorescent lights
And they don't put you in Hufflepuff if you're not cool
Instead they sort you in the parking lot after school
And I think if I looked into the Mirror of Erised
I'd be wearing wizard robes with gold and red

I'm not saying that I'm not proud to be a nerd
But public school ain't no place for a wizard
Yeah public school ain't no place for a wizard

That song was stuck in my head all day. Yeah.

(What a cop out for a blog post today!.)

I am making cookies right now!

I had some pictures for this blog, but I don't have any memory stick things, to transfer them over to my computer. WHAT?! CONFUSING, I KNOW.

Technology fail!

There was pictures of strawberries, and cookies. My bed, my walls, my bangs, oh my. I even believe there was a picture of my light switch cover thing! YESH. Well, you will see them tomorrow, maybe.

I sort of solved my internet boredom problem. I decided to get back into writing and reading fanfiction. This burst of creativity will probably last a week, but it helps for a bit. A bandaid to my situation, I guess.

Today I had a shower, and cleaned my room. My mom assisted me, so it actually got clean. It was awesome. I love my mom.

I LOVE YOU MOM! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

(Let's just hope she NEVER sees this blog!)

True true.

I had chinese food tonight. I actually went on the phone to order it. I was brave enough to talk on the phone! THIS IS A MILESTONE IN MY LIFE! TRUE! There was shrimp in this meal, but I was like "NOWAIJOSE!" Because I don't eat shrimp. However, I found out this other chinese food place I go to, has sushi! And I was like "I wouldn't trust it there!" because sushi at a chinese food place? I don't know! But it'll help my dare completion that was challenged to me last year.

For shame, Possum.

For shame!

I shake my head.

I need my residence package to come in the mail! C'mon Sault college, hurry it up!

I am bored.

For shame.

I am getting bored of the internet right now.

I just have NOTHING TO DO when I'm on the computer! Yeah, it's nice to talk to people, but very rarely are there people I ACTUALLY want to talk to. That are actually online, that is. Plus the blogs I read aren't updating ALL THE TIME, so that gets boring. And the fact I have dial up makes using youtube out of the question.

So I just kind of go searching through my history, to find something FUN to go back to and read. Because I LOVE funny websites! It's just that I find them difficult to discover on my own. So I usually try and read other blogs to find good sites, and that works. But lately even blog reading is becoming MEH, because I need to find some new blogs to enjoy.

I will. I just don't feel motivated enough to make my boring internet situation better.

It'll happen. I'm just trying to focus on REAL LIFE, right now. I'm currently (re)reading Charmed Thirds by Megan McCafferty, and attempting to clean my room... Yeah, sure. Not really. Plus right now I don't feel well physically, so it's kind of OUCH! I hate being ill. Although it's not really ill, as much as a discomfort to my life. Just some pain in ma life!

It's tragic. I know.

This afternoon, I went on the hammock and listened to DFTBA Records Radio Hour. I'm very close to catching up to the CURRENT episodes! And after that, I'll move on to listening to other podcasts. FUN! Do you have any suggestions for podcasts, beyond Smart Mouths and MuggleCast? If so, tell me!

ETC.

I can hear Voldemort torturing Harry right now! IN The Goblet of Fire, I mean. In the graveyard scene. But yeah... Oh well.
