It Was My Burfday

On Wednesday. And it was pretty cool.

My locker got decorated for the first time ever.

When my English class sang to me, they all sounded like zombies. And not on purpose...

And I got a sonic screwdriver. That turns off TVs. Dang.

And if you want to know how to make one, my friend made a tutorial on Instructables. And if you don't want to know how to make one, be a dear and go vote for it, because it's in a contest. It's only been up for a day, and the number of views already broke the video. x)

I also got a loverly necklace that says "wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey".

And cake. So much cake. And the next day was Pi Day, so then I got pie. Mmmmm.

My Valentine's Day

Actually worth blogging about, and not me hiding in a basement eating cookies and watching Doctor Who.

I got a flower. Yes, that's right.

If I didn't have such sharp sleuthing skills, I would have fallen out of my seat with surprise. But I didn't, and I was just pleased. Super pleased.

That kid is bold. It's cool.

And then on Saturday I went to his house and did computery stuff. But it took forever. Bad thing? I don't know.

Also, I can't figure out how to pose for pictures.

I got the flower on Thursday. I took this picture today. I think they dipped the flower in formaldehyde.

*Edit*
A thought: I think that if someone knows you like them, it sort of reciprocates. Sneaky boy.

Sometimes I Say Stupid Things

I have this written on my calendar, so that I can accept that I make mistakes, and also so that I can maybe be more aware of what I'm saying so I don't make a fool of myself.

But at lunch I said I would basically sell my soul for ice cream.

And I couldn't even find a way out of that hole. This might turn out to be a thing this month.

February: the month when I say stupid things.

Laptops Should Not be Called Laptops and an Update on the Weather

Laptops. Y'know. You like to sit cuddled up with a laptop, browsing the web, hiding from responsibility or something. BUT YOU SHOULDN'T. DON'T PUT IT ON YOUR LAP.

There are three reasons that I have learned about.

-The laptop gets hot on the bottom and could burn you.
-The laptop has a hard time breathing and could overheat.
-The laptop get moved around and jiggled and it bumps around the spinning hard drive, ever so slowly killing it.

Kind of rubbish to me.

"Guys, I made a portable computer!"
"Oh my gosh, so cool. You could put that thing on your lap. You could go anywhere."
"You shouldn't."
"Why?"
"It'll break and stuff."
"..."
"We'll call it a laptop anyway. You really shouldn't put it on your lap. But you CAN."

"Look guys, I made a new phone."
"Oh that's cool, what's it called?"
"Wallsmacker."
"Why...?"
"Because you can smack it up on the wall."
"Wouldn't it break?"
"Yeah. But you CAN."

~Weather update

As of now, it's flipping cold. The internet says -2 degrees(F).

And smog. The air is too cold to go anywhere, and we're sitting in smog. No fresh air anywhere near here. It's gross.

Horrible downward spiral: it's cold so I will drive my car--the exhaust has nowhere to go 'cause it's cold--still cold, more driving--more exhaust--still cold, exhaust stays low where everybody's breathing.

Gosh darn it, if we all wouldn't drive around in the cold!

But that was a bit hypocritical, as I got a ride to school yesterday. A bit shameful, but if you can't beat em, join em.... it's -2.

Beauty

Let's have a heart-to-heart, shall we?

About beauty.

Society and the media have screwed it up.

To be beautiful, you must be stick thin, wear the right clothes, spend an hour and a hundred bucks on your hair, and do your makeup just right.

First thing: Stick thin. If you are not stick thin, you are fat, ergo ugly. LIES. Filthy stinking lies.

Let's be honest: the girl in the picture isn't even close to overweight! You're heading for anorexia*, chicky.

This picture. This picture makes me sad. No one should feel this way. Maybe you are fat, but if you are, don't stress about it unless it's posing a serious health risk. Just be healthy, don't think you're fat or ugly. I know a few people who are overweight, but by no means are they ugly. No one will mind. No one should mind. There are more important things in life.

Second thing: The right clothes. You must have the right clothes. MORE LIES. Honestly, people. You oughtn't look like a hobo if you can help it, but you don't have to spend a fortune or feel like your clothes are not good enough. I mean seriously, folks.

Next: Hair and makeup. Again, you want to look well-groomed. But you don't need to spend hours on your hair. Personally, I don't think it's worth the time. And people always complain about their hair, not to mention other aspects of their looks. People with straight hair wish it was curly, people with curly hair wish it was straight. 

I respect this girl. She is proud of her hair. (maybe too proud?)

 Makeup is okay. Don't put on too much, it's creepy. Personally, I don't wear makeup, because I don't want it or feel like I need it. If you want to wear makeup, go for it. If you feel like you need makeup, you don't. Not really. People who normally wear makeup look different without makeup, but again, people won't judge you, and if they do, they're nuggets. (that is the word I use to replace something more offensive)

And one more thing: don't complain about your looks or call yourself ugly. Please. Everyone is lovely in their own way, and don't think I'm just saying that to shut you all up and make you feel good. I'm saying that to shut you up and also because it's true.

*Anorexia is bad. If you or someone you know is suffering from it, they should get help. And maybe some food. Or possibly medical attention.

Lines

I auditioned for a play.

I have a name.

And lines.

But not parents.

.....That's what you get when the school musical is Annie.

LINES, guys! I get to say stuff!

The Danger of Cookies

Maybe it was stress, maybe it was something in them, but when I ate a cookie today, I almost cried. With joy. And it was awkward. I saw that they were serving cookies with lunch today and so I bought a lunch and started kind of spazzing out. OH MY GOSH I HAVE A COOKIE AND I'M GONNA EAT IT REALLY SOON AND IT WILL TASTE AMAZING. And then I ate it. And it tasted amazing. But I might have to lay off cookies if they're going to make me cry. Because seriously...

Also, I auditioned for the school musical and I got callbacks!! :O

I love these cookie memes. They are my favorite.
