Th-Th-Th-Thursday!

Hey, everyone!  This week was not very exciting for me.  The weekend was uneventful and I mostly worked this week.  OH, I take that back – I baby sat on Friday and that was, of course eventful.  So basically, the written portion of my post will be sort of dull.  Maybe I can think of something to write as I brainstorm or maybe I will talk about something serious!  *gasp*

I just saw a commercial for the new Mummy movie and the Beijing olympics.  In the same commercial.  Videos blended together to show both.  Someone could become confused by seeing people running from mummies and thinking it’s a new event……No, that’s not logical or funny.  Sorry.

Baby Borrowers makes me laugh.  I know it is a controversial show but it is really interesting.  The teenagers are all stuck up and self centered and they are not good at taking care of kids.  I don’t want to promote teenage marriage and families but there are some teenagers/young people that are actually good with children.  Then again, they have sense enough to wait until they are older…  ’Nuff said.

My friend, Elisabeth, found this shirt online.  I love it!  But…. it’s sold out…
 

 

I already showed Katie this next link, but it made me laugh regardless.  It’s from Friends and it’s the time where Joey goes on the Pyramid show and he says, “Paper!  Snow!  A Ghost!!!”  And the way he says it cracks me up!  Well, here it is.

Here’s my video…

Mae, you don’t have to do the challenge because you requested off but you can later if you want…

Birthdays!  My last two birthdays were spent on Wind Symphony tour with my band geek buddies.  It was the first day of tour and I was going to make rice crispy treats but ran out of time.  So, instead they just sang to me at dinner, lol.  My best birthday was probably either age six or sixteen, haha!  For age six I had a costume party (because my birthday is in October) and it SNOWED!  We had it in my church basement and it was a good time.  My entire kindergarten class came!  My next favorite birthday was my sixteenth.  My mom planned a surprise party for me and invited a bunch of my good friends over to my cousin Marty’s town house in the city and we had a big party with family and my friends!  It was a lot of fun and I was completely surprised.  I’m such an idiot for not figuring it out, haha!

This next birthday will be my 21st and it’ll be on a Sunday (October 26).  I’ll also be on band tour AGAIN.  We’re not technically allowed to drink on tour but the host families offer so sometimes you accept (I am not at liberty to proclaim whether or not I have partaken…)  We had a 21st birthday last tour and their host family shared a beer with them so I assume that my host family will be pleasant about it.  That is, unless I get a sweet old couple.  ^^;  I also assume that my friends will take me out that evening once we get back and possibly skip class Monday morning.  However, my professors will be impressed with me if I show up regardless, haha.  I do not anticipate getting drunk.  I’m not stupid.  End of discussion!

I’ve been so out of it this week that I can’t remember any of the other challenges or questions from you guys.  *dies*  I’m also too lazy to go back and check for them.  Request for all of you – please add your challenges and questions to their respected pages after you post your video.  I didn’t do it last week either and so I’m a little frustrated with myself ><;  I can’t even remember what I asked or told, lol.

Loves!

PS: So much for something serious, haha!

PPS:  Thoughts of Twilight:
Yes, I do seem to be an obsessive fan.  Ugh.  I agree with your Bella feelings.  She is SO behind the plot.  For that reason, Edward can be pretty ditzy too.  Oh well – I still think they are romantic…  *swoons*

“This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays.”

Good morning!  (Yes, Maggie, I said I was going to post at 10:30 but I got excited and buckled, haha!)  My title quote comes from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.  As taken from Wikipedia (good ‘ol Wiki), I quote:

In The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, the character Arthur Dent says “This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays”. A few minutes later the planet Earth is destroyed. Thor, for whom the day was named, also appears later in the Hitchhiker’s series and in other Adams books. Appropriately, in The Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul, one of the characters says to Thor: “I’m not used to spending the evening with someone who’s got a whole day named after them”.

Now, my freshmen year art teacher started reading this book to my art club after school while we worked on projects (like this one: ).  I don’t know how far we got and I don’t remember much except for his fake accents and funny hair.  We did not finish either.  I do not expect to finish.  This is not the book I will be reading for your challenge, Katie.

As many of you know, I will be reading TWILIGHT.  I will NOT get sucked in.  I have someone I can borrow the book from but I might as well buy it, right?  Then I can bend the corners and leave it in my purse to get mashed around…  But that’s that.  I will think about it.

Monday night I went beading with my mom at one of our church choir friend’s house.  (Go here for some pictures of my jewelry!)  Anyway, I looked in the mirror to see how something looked and I noticed something HORRIFYING.  My hair was no longer blonde.  I seriously had a mental breakdown.  I knew it had been getting darker and I have always known it would become darker but the time came where I actually noticed.  I got sort of upset and threw a tiny tantrum.  I also texted six of my friends with this message: I’m not blonde anymore!!!  I just realized it!  It’s a dirty, ugly color…

Just so you know, I am not usually this concerned about my hair.  I love my hair!  I think it was the light…  It is really a dirty blonde.  I’m considering dying/hi-lighting my hair (blonde or other color) so suggestions would be nice (not that I will for sure use your suggestions – I will think about them, though!)

Here are my answers to your quesitons!

If you were to be any movie, what would you be and why?

• My movie would be The Holiday.  Specifically the character Iris.  This is for numerous reasons.  Unrequited love, lots of crying, emotional person, befriending old people…  Oh, and Jack Black.  His character is wonderful, funny and a musician (this is a theme with me, haha).  If I were the type of person to have a celebrity crush, he would be my celebrity crush.  :)

Have you ever had a bad roommate? If so tell stories, if not tell why you think you and your roommate have worked out.

• I… thought that I had a bad roommate but a year apart has only made us stronger!  My friend Nicole and I met at the freshmen camp in the summer before we started school.  We decided that we had a lot in common and we decided to be roommates.  The year started off great but we soon started to get on each other’s nerves.  I wasn’t used to keeping my thoughts to myself and that annoyed her and she had some habits that bugged me too.  This year we were just neighbors on our floor.  We missed each other and when it came time to choose roommates again we decided to give it another shot.  We’ve since worked our our difficulties and we both know how to deal with each other after two years of friendship.  I’ll let you know how it goes!

What is your favorite book?

• Oh gosh.  I’m trying to think of the last time I was completely enamored with a book…  Thinking hard… I think it would have to be the Harry Potter series.  :(  I read voraciously (oh ho ho, a big word!) every time I got one of those books.  I only got to experience three book releases, though, so the one I read the most hungrily was Order of the Phoenix (plus I don’t like six or seven).  Since then, I have read other books that I enjoyed but nothing compares to reading a Harry Potter book for me.  :)

Now here’s my video for the week!!!  It’s under 4 minutes!  :P

(I said “irrational fears” not “RATIONAL fears” – that would be silly, lol)

I really think I can fit more than four minute’s worth into a video because I talk so fast.  Yes!

Til next week (or sooner!)

LOVES!

PS:  I SO want to talk about my feelings on your blog topic, Brittany, but I’ve gone through this thought process too many times and I’m actually at peace with myself right now, haha.  Maybe when I’m in a ranty mood…
