I'm Concussed

Hiya peeps!!! Sorry I haven't posted in a while... (three days, jeez. I need a life!!!) Over the weekend, I was sleeping over at Poodle's house, and I fell off the couch in the middle of the night, hit my head on the hard wood floor, and got a concussion. I know what your thinking, "Wow, what a lame way to get a concussion,", but I know someone who's fallen INTO a couch and gotten a concussion. So, while I was bed ridden, these are the holidays I missed...  
May 19 is . . . . Frog Jumping Jubilee Day
May 20 is . . . . Eliza Doolittle Day
May 21 is . . . . National Memo Day and National Waitresses/Waiters Day
And today is Buy-A-Musical-Instument Day!!!

International Museum Day and Visit Your Relatives Day

Pretty boring compared to the other ones. Sorry for this extremely short post, but I'm going to bed. Peace!!!

Good day to all you pack rats!

Today is Pack Rat Day!!!! I'm a bit of a pack rat myself... but that's not the point of this post!!! Anyway, today in English class we watch Twilight Zone, Season 1, Episode 22, The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street. It really kind of freaked me out. The basic plot line is that this weird thing passed over Maple St. and the adults say it a meteor and the kids say its a UFO, and then the power goes out and the cars won't start. The kids are all like "Its the aliens!" and the adults are like, "Its the meteor!" and then they believe its aliens, and that there are a few among them. Then everyone gets suspicious of everyone else, and they shoot this one guy because its dark and they think hes an alien. The end is what kind of freaked me out, because it shows two guys on a mountain and they're like, "Same thing everytime, shut the power off, turn a few things on and off a few times, and they go crazy trying to figure out who it is. Nothing unique about this place. There's thousand of other Maple Streets out there. Lets go.", and then a spaceship takes off. It was really weird.

Quotes I love from How I Met Your Mother

1. “Think of me like Yoda, but instead of being little and green I wear suits and I'm awesome. I'm your bro—I'm Broda!”

2. “Okay, pep talk! You can do this, but to be more accurate, you probably can't. You're way out of practice and she's way too hot for you. So, remember, it's not about scoring. It's about believing you can do it, even though you probably can't. Go get 'em, tiger!”

3. “It's gonna be legend-... wait for it... and I hope you're not lactose intolerant because the second half of that word is DAIRY!”

4. “Jesus waited three days to come back to life. It was perfect! If he had only waited one day, a lot of people wouldn't have even heard he died. They'd be all, "Hey Jesus, what up?" and Jesus would probably be like, "What up? I died yesterday!" and they'd be all, "Uh, you look pretty alive to me, dude..." and then Jesus would have to explain how he was resurrected, and how it was a miracle, and the dude'd be like "Uhh okay, whatever you say, bro..." And he's not gonna come back on a Saturday. Everybody's busy, doing chores, workin' the loom, trimmin' the beard, NO. He waited the perfect number of days, three. Plus it's Sunday, so everyone's in church already, and they're all in there like "Oh no, Jesus is dead", and then BAM! He bursts in the back door, runnin' up the aisle, everyone's totally psyched, and FYI, that's when he invented the high five. That's why we wait three days to call a woman, because that's how long Jesus wants us to wait.... True story.”

5. “In my body, where the shame gland should be, there is a second awesome gland. True story.”

6. “God, it's me, Barney. What up? I know we don't talk much, but I know a lot of girls call out your name because of me.”

7. “Oh right, because there can be too many of something wonderful. Hey Babe Ruth, easy big fella, let's not hit too many homers. Hey Steve Gutenberg, maybe just make three Police Academy movies. America's laughed enough.”

8. “Do you have some puritanical hang up on prostitution? Dude, it’s the world’s oldest profession.”

9. “Suits are full of joy. They're the sartorial equivalent of a baby's smile.”

10. “Here's the mini-cherry on top of the regular cherry on top of the sundae of awesomeness that is my life"

Sea Monkeys

As well as Wear Purple For Peace Day, May 16 is also National Sea Monkey Day!!! I've never had a sea monkey, but my friend did. It was really small and I had no idea what the heck I was looking at so I just went with it. She said one ate the rest, but she also always thought her pet fish was pregnant, and since I couldn't see them, I figured they all died of natural causes, considering they only live for like, 3 days. Not to hate on sea monkeys or anything, but I don't something that comes in a box from the toy store is the best pet.

Camera

Happy National Chocolate Chip Day!!! On Sunday I ordered a new digital camera on amazon.com, and it came today!!! It's a black Sony something, and its awesome. If I press this button, it automatically takes a picture when it sees someone smiling. As for quality, it takes realy good pictures and can even do panoramas. I might me posting some pictures after I upload them to my computer. Also, tommorow is wear purple for peace day, so wear purple!!! 

Short + sweet

Happy Dance Like a Chicken Day! Sorry this post is so short, but I have to go to sleep... so go dance like a chicken!!!

Games

                        Ninja Destruction
For anyone whos never heard of ninja destruction, its where you pose like a ninja with your hands open, and your opponent does the same. You each get a move to strike and to dodge. The point is to hit the other persons hand to get it out. For a better explanation... look it up.
                                                The Poking Game
The poking game is were you and your partener take each others hand, on the same side, and face eachother. Then you stick your index finger out and try and poke the other person while trying not to be poked.

On a happier note...

Hiya! Last night I went to a bonfire, and we decided to play "extreme" games, like ninja destruction, (see my post about it) and the poking game, (again, see post above), and then I started to teach my sister and her friends karate, because they didn't believe I could take them down. (For anyone who's curious, I take Okinawan Shuri-Ru, and I absolutely love it!) Also, as I promised, today it is National Leprechaun Day AND Jump Like a Frog Day! And, most importantly, Happy Mother's Day!

Gus

Alright, I almost will never post something like this, but I think this is important and pretty legit. If you feel it is worthy, copy and paste this and send it to people. It would mean the world, just saving this one, poor soul.

  There's a dog named Gus. He has been abused so bad that his stomach has
 been punctured. He was taken away from his owner last week and he
 isn't doing well. They are taking donations for his surgery but...
 that might not be enough. Verizon is donating 25 cents for every time
 this message is sent. Send this to at least 10 friends to help Gus.
 Thank you for helping save a life. Just sending this message to 10
 people will earn up to $2.50. Yes it's not a lot of money, but it can
 count. You are in control of helping this dog! He needs help so please
 take one minute of your time and send this to 10 people. Together we
 can stop animal abuse and save a life. A life that belongs to an
 innocent dog. Please send. Make a difference.
 This is real and a dog really needs your help! Just one minute, that's
 all I'm asking! Please.... If you don't send this on you have a cold
 heart and don't care about the lives of innocent creature!!! Help save
 Gus and make a difference in the world. It only takes one person to
 change the world.
 For other ways to help animals like Gus, you can contact your local
 animal rescue shelter. Just make sure it's a rescue, not a puppy mill
 or pound... those places are almost as bad for animals as abuse
 owners.
 Thank you for your care and support...... :-) Please copy and paste! don't
 foward because than it shows everyones
 name and no one scrolls down to read and help Gus!!!!!!!

 Please donate to this charity I feel soooo bad for the dog:(

The Wierd, the Forgotten, and the just plain RANDOM!!!

I decided that from now on, I will post about every random holiday I feel worthy. I love random holidays! It all started on National Waffle Day... =D So, to start it off, today, May 12, 2012 is Limerick Day! Don't you just love Irish poetry that rhymes.... I know, its a random holiday, but poems are people too! Not really, but here is my tribute to limericks, with one I am making up on the spot....

Yohan was a cat,
Who was seriously fat.
As his struggle got vainer, 
He got a personal trainer,
Who Yohan thinks is a brat. 

That is my poetic moment of the day, and my tribute to limericks.

Craziness

So last night I slept over at my friends house. It was insane. At first we were just holed up in her basement. Then we facetimed one of our friends and I gave him a video tour of her dads shrine to Elvis. Her dad has a village, like one of those model Christmas villages, but Elvis themed. After that we tried to draw people from the yearbook, but I got bored and turned mine into a member of the Mafia, a Swedish elk herder, Yoda, and Dobby the house elf on steriods. The whole time we were trying to sing like men, (If you've made it this far with out being freaked out, then I know there's someone out there who's crazier than us ;) ) and then we go up to show her mom our drawings, and she decides we should stalk people on Facebook, and then proceded to looks up the randomist people. It was hilarious, really one of the highlights of my month.

Gandhi and his peeps yo!

I just love Gandhi. He is just so freaking awesome. These are some of my favorite quotes from him. I've loved him ever since My cousin showed me The Gandhi Rap on youtube.com. You should look it up!


An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

Songs

Hiya all you people!!! This is a list of my ten (ever-changing) favorite songs,in no particular order, and probably some commentary along the way...

1. One Thing, by One Direction. They really are a good group. I mean, normally I hate boy bands and cliche teen sensations, but for once a good one came out of the blue. Simon Cowell has good taste!
2. Somebody I Used To Know, by Goyt or Glee Cast. I usually prefer the originals, but I do like the Glee version better.
3. What Makes You Beautiful, by One Direction. The boys of Glee did this too, and it sounds exactly the same. What can I say, boy bands all sound alike.
4. Honestly, by Hot Chelle Rae. I just love how it oppisites every other song, where its like "oh I want you back". This one says "Honestly I just don't care!"
5. Raise Your Glass, by P!nk. For me, it just never gets old. P1nk does it better than Glee, but for anyone whos seen the Glee 3D Concert, I love the mini Warbler who sings and dances along to Raise Your Glass

I would like to say, I'm sorry for all you Glee haters, I shall stop making references!

1. (This is really 6, but my aside messed me up!) Glad You Came, by The Wanted. The best song to dance to. Ever.
2. Stand Up, by One Direction. I think I've said enough about them.
3. Sweet Caroline, by Neil Diamonds. I'm not all Top 50, and I really do love his music.
4. I'm Yours/Somewhere Over The Rainbow, by Staight No Chasers. They are one of my favorite groups for Christmas music.
5. I Wanna Hold Your Hand, The Beatles. Its the Beatles. Enough said.

And thats it for my top 10. Thanks for reading! (If you made it this far!!! ;))

Merry-go-rounds

Alright, so yesterday, I had one of my best friends sleepover, and we asked my mom to take us to the park. My friend, named (Like I would tell you that =D) , and my sister, and I all went to the playground at an elementary school in our town. We are all really too old for playgrounds, and we dwarfed most of the equipment, but we still had and awesome time, trying to see who could get up and down all the slides the fastest, (there's like, 15 slides), trying to play hide and seek, though we were too big for most of the hiding spots, swinging , and spinning on the merry-go-round until we were sick. Its amazing how dangerous (and nauseating) those things are, yet they allow them at playgrounds everywhere. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love those things. We would see who could jump on the most successfully at various speeds, and who can stay on the edge the longest. There not anywhere near safe though. I remember I was pushing my friend and my sister, and then when I jumped I ended up slamming my side on a pole and falling off. It didn't hurt then (it was actually pretty funny) but now I have a big bruise.  I remember once I was watching Mythbusters, and they were testing a movie myth, where someone shoots a merry-go-round and then it starts spinning from the force. So, for dramatic affect, they wrapped it in barbed wire and lit it on fire. But for now, merry-go-rounds bring joy to people everywhere.

Amazing

Amazing how much you can notice if you stop talking. I mean I talk a lot. Like, non-stop. I'm an extremely hyper and loud person, but in those rare moments when I'm quiet, I am pretty observant. Where am I going with this? Well, I've always loved photography. All great photographers notice things. Take these photos...
