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*

Substitute Sunday

Another week gone by…  This next week we should have everyone back together!!!!!  Hooray!

I expect both Brittany and Katie to do all the challenges assigned to them while they were gone… bwahaha!

Katie, your challenge for me is complete.  I read Twilight.  And I really liked it.  I bought New Moon.  I plan to buy the others.  With gift cards.  Short sentences are dramatic.  They also show my feeling for being enamored with this book.  I will, however, resist the temptation to add any Twilight flair on facebook…  I have one, but only because it was connected to Harry Potter (Jacob Black = Remus Lupin + Sirius Black’s love child)  HA!  Yesterday I watched the trailer for the movie and I don’t like how it’s inaccurate already, haha.  However, Bella, Alice and Edward are almost like I pictured them.  I must admit that I had seen a picture of Edward from the movie before reading the book but it wasn’t an intentional connection.  Bella is the same, I suppose, but her nose is a bit different than I imagined.  Superficial thinking, sorries, lol.  However, I saw the actress for Alice and thought, “that MUST be Alice!”  I imagined her a little smaller, with black, sleeker hair but her face is pretty spot on my imagination.  I feel that the book was engaging and that’s why I liked it so much.  And it’s a romance book.  I was mislead by my imagination before I started reading and thought it was action with a little romance.  I now see that it’s romance with a little action.  But oh!  The action!  I was nearly hyperventilating at times, honest!  Now I’ve started New Moon and it’s a little slow going for a couple reasons: time and sleep for me and angst in the book.  Ohhhh the angst.  That’s all for Twilight.  Thanks for the challenge – it gave me an excuse to read this popular book I had complained about…  Just like Harry Potter…  ugh.

I’d like to thank our best commenters, Cheap Auto Insurance, Car Insurance, and Buy Select Drugs.  They never fail to provide an awesome minute when I delete them from our spam counter.  But seriously, thanks for reading the blogs, Emily!  I agree that we need more readers – anyone want to advertise?  I’m too shy and I feel bad about the last time I was on the ning (lol) so if anyone else wants to take it upon themselves to go forth and spread the word, please do.  I almost feel like we it would be easier to make a viral video of something else and then put a link to the project in the side bar or something.  I don’t really want the irritating people that come with that, though.  ”u r so lame!” or the more common, ”these #$%^& suck!!11!1! this is @#$%^ u $%^&U $%^&* #$%^ like $% %^&* $%#(^$ nerds!!1!1!!!1 lolz” I don’t want it…  So, no viral video for us!  :D

Last night was my church’s choir party.  We made a couple dishes for it such as party/cheesy potatoes (whichever your region calls them, lol), cheesecake brownies (I think) and a green bean casserole (which I avoided, of course).  There’s always singing and, luckily, they don’t beg me to sing something for them when I go now.  I sort of don’t like going because it’s a bunch of people that ask me questions about school and all we do is eat and drink (nothing alcoholic for me yet, lol) and sit around in the heat.  Not very fun.  So I read New Moon most of the night…  Here’s a clip from last year.

This afternoon I am seeing the ballet “Sleeping Beauty” and I am pretty excited for the music and the costumes and the dancing, of course!  My mom got me free tickets because she works at a dance wear company that supplies for this dance studio, I suppose.  I got three free (previously $35, I think) tickets and my friend Elisabeth, her boyfriend, Drew, and I are going together.  I will see if I can get video of it for Thursday.  Probably illegal but I will find a way (or a good alternative )

Tomorrow I am going to a Cardinals game!!!  I will definitely take pictures and video for Thursday.  I’m also going to my dad’s singing competition where I am being forced to use my mac for recording purposes (and more space). Otherwise I would use my camera (which only has 26 minutes worth of video).

I really need to get on the ball with planning my trip to Chicago.  I’m still hoping that I can ask my grandma for a loan so I can buy a new flute.  I might do better to just ask for a loan for China (which paying for scares me greatly).  It’s going to be an expensive year, I imagine.

Oh, my childhood pictures!  Here are a few that I scanned.  Slide was very convenient for this!

This new thing I found for the site is REALLY NEAT!  Check out this page and look at the map of people!  It has almost all of our locations!  That is so neat!  Mine is a little inaccurate because it says I’m from Florissant, MO (which is 45 minutes away) but oh well.

Challenge for the week:  Show me a blast from your past (like Pokemon Cards, dolls, etc…)

LOVES!
