I don't even know what to title this one.

Thank you Lisa for raping my eyes with this video. This thing made me squirm.



It's been a long time since I've gotten to scream, "No. No! NO! TURN IT OFF!! AHHH!!" And I thought "The Doodlebops" made me uncomfortable. Lisa made me watch the whole thing, the sadist. Just kidding, she's my best friend. ^^

Here's a little excerpt of "The Doodlebops," just for kicks.



No. Just...no.

Yet another Twilight Spiel

I have to stop talking about Twilight, I know, but this is all I have to show for my boring week.

I was reading this interview in Cosmogirl magazine with the three guys from Twilight who play Edward, Jacob, and Emmett. They open the article saying how Jacob actor Taylor Lautner (I call him Sharkboy cause of that movie he was in) showed up early for the 5:00 PM interview, Kellan Lutz was on time, and Robert Pattinson showed up an hour and a half late with the excuse that he overslept.

Overslept...at 6:30 at night...that doesn't make him look too good. They were trying to use it in his favor, saying that they totally forgave him when they heard his sexy British accent. Oh, please. I'm usually the first one to say "sexy British accent," but Rob...he's just cocky.



I don't know. He just bothers me a little. He says "um" a lot, doesn't he?

Interesting fact I just learned while looking for a Rob interview to share. In case you didn't know, someone posted the Midnight Sun unfinished manuscript to the internet without Stephenie Meyer's permission. Well, O just discovered that she gave Robert Pattinson a copy. The video (below) was added in May. She said she only gave out a few and she knows exactly who she gave them to. I'm thinking it was someone on the movie who leaked it to the internet. That would be incredibly plausible.



Around 1:10. Not saying he did it, but if he got a copy, I'm sure the directional people on the crew got copies. The writers and them. Poor Stephenie. I know I would be furious if someone did that to me.

Presidential Playlists

I just noticed that my last post was Friday. That means I haven't had anything interesting to say since last week. I can't rant about my Spanish teacher again, especially since I feel guilty knowing she's got nothing on my friend's French teacher. Poor M got her two years in a row.

Speaking of Spanish, I got to miss it today! Love and hugs for generic standardized tests! Wahoo! They saved my teeth from dramatic clenching as I restrain my anger at both her and the annoying MSE kid who sits behind me. He makes it very clear that he thinks he's a lonely genius in a sea of idiots. I actually did snap at him the other day. He needs to learn patience as well as humility.

Anyway, did you know that John McCain's favorite song is "Dancing Queen?" We were talking about this in government. This is the website we were looking at with Obama and McCain's favorite songs.

I got a 93 on a math test when I was expecting a low B. And tomorrow's a late start. And I got to spend an hour in a quiet test room listing types of pie on the back on my instruction sheet instead of Spanish class! It's a good day. Oh, wait...I forgot Key Lime! How could I forget that one? That's going to bug me. My list is incomplete.

100 Things You're Not Supposed to Know

I noticed that book on the bargain shelf of Barnes and Noble today, and how could I not resist flipping open the cover? Tempting title. Russ Kick (the author) knew what he was doing.

It was actually really interesting. The list included:

~The Korean War never actually ended (there was no treaty, just an armistice)
~Hitler's relatives are currently living in New York
~The code to access these nuclear weapons back in some war was 000000000 because nobody ever changed the preset.
~The Virginia colonists practiced cannibalism (Whoa, I'm back-checking that one)

A lot of it I doubted, especially after they said that sunscreen causes more cancer than UV radiation. Still, their explanations make me want to buy the thing.

Oh, and I found this book on Spanish grammar to explain subjunctive to me...does my teacher go out of her way to make stuff up?? Now I'm probably holding a D in that class thanks to my horrible quiz grade, and it's because she's teaching made-up fairy tale Spanish!! This is going to be a long year.

I'm a Selfish Cat Killer

That's how I'm scripted in our dialogue for Spanish class. My partner came up with it, and even though it's ridiculous, it's funny enough that I didn't protest. The story is that he fell off a roof and broke his leg (which actually happened...he's on crutches now), and I tell him my cat is stuck in a tree. He heroically decides to rescue my cat even with his broken leg. After he saves it, I don't want it anymore. He threatens to eat the cat if I don't take it from him. It's entertaining, but now I'm getting jabbed for being the cat killer who made Ryan climb a tree with his broken leg. I'm hoping my teacher finds it amusing. And that Ryan memorizes his lines. I need all the points I can get.

My quote for the day comef from English class. It's an example of litotes, or understatement.

One nuclear bomb can really ruin your whole day.

That it can. Something to think about. =]

It's a Sunshine Day!

As far as parodies go, I <3 The Brady Bunch Movie. This is my favorite scene from it. What's even funnier is this might have happened in an actual "Brady Bunch" episode. That's part of the movie's charm--it's self-mocking.



"Put on your Sunday best kids. We're going to Sears!" Ahahaha.

I used to love this show. I want to call it campy, but I'm not sure if that's inappropriately slang-ish. It's a perfect description though.

Slowly renouncing my title of "class airhead"

Spanish teacher called on me again and the only three words I could make out from her fast Spanish sentence were "Juliana," "sentence," and "storm." Thank God that was enough to clue me. I can't afford to be class idiot for the fourth class in a row. My verb and tense were wrong, but at least I knew what she was talking about and had a sentence ready this time! It was one of my better-developed sentences too. Of course, this girl who sits two seats away from me and speaks Spanish jumped in to correct my choice of adjectives, but I didn't care! I finally got one (almost) right!

That girl who always corrects me...even though she bothers me, I admire her somehow. She's one of those people who seems to own any room she walks into. She wears these insane outfits and everybody knows her. She has people follow her and flock around her like she's famous, and I never see any of them walking next to her, only behind her. Not that I want an entourage, but I can't even imagine having that sort of...what's the word...charisma that would make people want to follow me. I have none. None at all.

Why can't I do that? Can I borrow some of her confidence for just one day? Can I not be the shy girl cowering in the corner, absolutely terrified of everyone, for a few hours? I imagine what would happen if I tried to act like her. But then, there's a reason people like me don't act like her. They can't pull it off.

Please don't label me based on the above paragraphs. I hate to have to say it, but I admire her. I don't love her.

"Gossip Girl" season premiere last night! I have yet to finish watching it. There's a whole month until "Pushing Daisies" comes back, which I'm even more excited for. I love that show.
