I haven't blogged in a couple days... let me catch you up, yeah?

Okay, so ... for some reason, I forgot to blog after I went and saw THE AQUABATS. Haha. I told myself to blog, but it was late and I was exhausted from the show, so I went to bed. Then the next day, I didn't blog again. So here it is. Let me catch you up.

So on Saturday, I went to work. I had to work 8 hours. It was ridiculous, long, miserable, exhausting and horrible. (: That night, I saw The Aquabats. It was a really, really good show. I got owned in a pit and dropped when attempting to crowd surf. It was still fun. (:

Sunday, I went to work again. Another 8 hour shift. It wasn't as bad. I had splash battle with my friend Cody all day. I totally won. Haha. He claims he won. At the end of the day, we said tie. But I got him last minute and he won't admit to it.

And then today, went to school and such. It's dumb. I hated today. I wanted to go home all day and sleep. In fact, I still haven't napped. I had to go to the ortho. I got new retainers. Plastic, clear ones. They hurt. :/

That's it.

Today was just shitty.

I know, I know. It's technically tomorrow, but I'm counting this blog as today. I'm daily blogging. If I haven't slept and woke up to a new day, it's the same day to me. So it counts. :D

Anyway -- today just sucked. All my classes were boring. I got little sleep last night and just slept through half my classes. It was lame. Mrs. Lindsay yelled at me for swearing again. She called me unbecoming and the most foul mouthed girl she's ever met. It sort of upset to the point where I want to stop swearing-- again. Yep. I stopped for 3 weeks before. It was cool.

Then, I hung out with everyone and people gave me shit for my foot size and just giving me shit like always. And then I got flaked on for Speed Zone. I was immediately pissed off because of that. It really ruined my night. Speed Zone, for free. Come on! Whatever.

But something awesome just happened. One of my friends in New York drunk dialed me. It was pretty funny. His friend Adam talked to me for 10 minutes. So goddamn funny. They tripped out because I said I was 5'9''. And they told me how awesome Blink is going to be and how expensive merch is. Hahaha. Made my day better.

I'm going to bed now. Goodnight!
:D

I need to stop procrastinating homework.

I procrastinate homework more than anyone. And it's the wors kind of procrastination. I KNOW if I would just DO the work when I got home, I'd have a whole night ahead of me to just chill out and do whatever. Do I ever just DO it? No. I wait until the last minute.

I do other things. Like Blog. Dailybooth. Watch TV. Eat. Sleep. Do absolutely nothing. Ugh...

I am sick of this.
I need to go do my homework...

Finished room after all & a look at my walls...

So, it turns out, I finished my room. Well, the floor, which is basically what my mom counts as cleaning my room. I'm going to work on the dresser and desk tops soon. I really want to reorganized/rearrange/hardcore clean the hell out of my room soon. It was supposed to happen over summer, but it didn't...obviously. I have a whole other dresser full of junk when it could be holding clothes! Haha.

Anyway, here's some before & after pictures. Even further down are pictures of my walls and all my posters and such! :D

BEFORE...



HALFWAY...



ALMOST THERE...



DONE!!!



AND HERE'S ALL THE CLOTHES, NEATLY HUNG, THAT WERE ON MY FLOOR...




Now for my WALLS!!! (:









I have yet to finish my room ...

I don't think I'll be finishing it tonight. I am way too tired. I don't why I am so exhausted. Last year, I could get 3 hours of sleep and last until I went to bed again. Now, I got 5 or so and I'm DYING. I am absolutely positively exhausted beyond belief. I keep falling asleep out of nowhere. So lame.

Anyway -- America's Next Top Model started tonight. I don't like that it's 5'7" and under. It's kind of stupid and unrealistic. I don't know. I don't think it's good because those girls probably won't get as much work as a model with the right/average model height. Sort of gives those girls false hope. They're only going to get work with the few agencies that "accept girls of all sizes". So, whatever. What do I know? Nothing really. I still love the show and look forward to this season.

Tomorrow -- I'll FINISH my room & post before & afters. Hopefully. God, I hope so. Hahah.

My room is a disaster...

Yep. My room is a freaking disaster. I have left than 3 hours to clean up this shit hole. If I don't, I won't be able to go out tomorrow after the compact day. However, I said to my mom, "If I get most of it done, can I?" She sort of sighed and said, "Whatever." Thus, I shall take advantage of the situation and "do most of it" and hopefully go out tomorrow. That's usually how it works. So, hopefully...hopefully it does! Yeahhhh :D

Wish me luck! I'll put up before and after pictures in tomorrow's blog!

Now excuse me, I have some Blink-182 and room cleaning to get back to!

What ever happened to Julia Stiles?

I finished "10 Things I Hate About You". I have to say... that is a very good movie. I liked it a lot. It was a lot funnier than I expected it to be. My favorite character was definitely Mr. Morgan. He was so funny. And Heath Ledger & Julia Stiles were cute together.

Speaking of Julia Stiles, what ever happened to Julia Stiles? No -- seriously. She was so popular and had starring roles in several movies. Then one day, she just stopped showing up in movies. What the heck? I like her in movies. Except her manly voice. And why is she never wearing a bra in movies?! I mean, sure, she's flat chested as hell, but put on a damn bra!

Anyway, so I'm an overly curious person. If I have a question (such as "What ever happened to Julia Stiles?"), I need the answer. So me being me, I Googled her. (Off topic, but did you know that "google" is in the dictionary now? As a verb? So weird!) So I just went to her IMDB page instead because it came up on Google and I was like Why didn't I just go to her IMDB page from the start? So I look at some of the forums and find out she just sort of took a hiatus after "Save the Last Dance" (which is a movie I really like for reasons unknown to me because it's sort of a shitty movie). And then I saw that she will be playing Esther in an upcoming movie called "The Bell Jar" in 2011. It's based off a book called The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. The funny part is that in "10 Things I Hate About You", Julia Stiles's character is reading The Bell Jar.

Yup. That's all I have to say.

I've never seen "10 Things I Hate About You"

I just started this movie. I've never ever seen it. I've heard so many people talk about it. Say how much they love it. How it's such a good movie. All that stuff. Yep.

So, I saw it on Encore and decided Hey. I should watch this movie.

Also -- Heath Ledger is in it. And he's an amazing actor. So bonus points.

And another little thing (that really doesn't matter) -- There's a stupid TV show based off of the movie. The TV show sucks ass, but still. If the movie's good enough to get a whole TV show.

And since I'm actually watching the movie as I write this, the scene that just occured was hilarious and I dig it. It was the scene in Mr. Morgan's class when Julia Stiles owns on everyone and the teacher calls that one kid "Chachie". Hahaha.

EDIT: And the girl that plays Bianca is not as hot as all the guys think she is.
:D

I'll post another blog or edit this one once the movie's over.

"Scott Tenorman Must Die"

I love South Park.

I can't believe I ever prejudged this show and thought it was stupid. I spent a lot of my life not watching this show because it just seemed stupid. I don't even remember why I started watching it. I saw my first "South Park" episode this year actually. It was the "World of Warcraft" episode. Absolutely hilarious. I was crying laughing. So after seeing that episode, the next episode I saw was the "Mr. Jefferson" episode. So, clearly, after seeing two hilarious episodes, I'd be hooked.

Indeed, I was........

Anyway -- So, now as I write this blog, I'm watching the "Scott Tenorman Must Die" episode. This is the second time I've seen this one. It's completely ridiculous. The ending is horrible and disgusting. ... HAHAHA. BUT IT'S HILARIOUS. I love it. It's probably one the most fucked up, horrible endings ever. At the same time, it's one of the funniest. So, I love it. (:

Also, something I noticed was that every time Cartman says, "Give me my money!" to Scott Tenorman, it sounds exactly like Max Bemis's voice in Say Anything's cover of "I Got Your Money". That's just my personal opinion and observation. Haha.

Another thing -- when Kenny dies of laughter ... I could not stop laughing. One of my favorite Kenny deaths as well. (:

Yep. South Park is the best animated TV show ever.




P.S. Fuck Futurama. Worst show ever.

I'm going to ATTEMPT daily blogging again... (:

So, I don't know how many times I've tried this whole, "I'm going to write a blog every day about anything just so I can write!"...and failed. I fail every time. Even when I was just trying to post a blog about what happened in my day, I'd forget. But now!... there's more! I have a DailyBooth. I remember that every single day, so I'm hoping along with that, I'll rememeber to blog. So...here goes!

So, for the first blog of my daily blogging, I'm just going to talk about my day to keep things simple. So, today... I had to work. Yay...not. I seriously hate my job. I hate the majority of the people I work with. I had the pay. I hate the conditions. I'm a lifeguard at a water park. It's 100 degrees and it's the second to last weekend of them being open. It's crowded to the point where it's disgusting and unbearable. Today was this kind of day.

I worked section two, which is an area of the park where a lot of attractions are made specially for little kids only. Now...I have no problem with little kids EXCEPT when they're at Raging Waters. There's this one spot I had to work twice today. It's called KK2, which stands for Kids Kingdom (the play structure for kids). What you do at this spot is walk back and forth parallel to the structure, scanning up and down all along the entire thing. Now, when this area is crowded, the lifeguard's walkway is jammed up with bunches of parents watching their kids. Then, you've got the kids running around, screaming, crying, yelling, etc. So it's quite overwhelming. After a while, I actually started feeling anxious from being so overwhelmed with how many people were in this tiny area. Then there was one point where I noticed a married couple fighting. The woman had her no-older-than-two-year-old son in her arms while her and her husband argued loudly in public. The child squirmed, cried and tried getting out of her arms. They fought for a good twenty minutes. I couldn't believe it. I wanted to say, "Can you take your dysfunctional marriage outside of the park please?" It reminded me of my parents -- fighting from the day I was born.

So after a hectic day at work, my mom gets me. Of course, we end up fighting because I messed up the directions to the bank and we went the wrong way. Clearly, in this situation, my mother had every right to yell, scream and swear at me. Yeah...no. There is no reason for it. Why does she do it? I don't know. It's ridiculous. But whatever. You think I'd be used to it by now.

In fact, she's making dinner and complaining about me right now. Why? Because I got make-up on the bathroom towel. Yep. Life's good.
