Nyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanya

Go to nyan.cat and watch.

Quick first week back at school. My English class is reading Romeo and Juliet, I'm doing a speaking final and starting a poster project in Spanish, painting a collage in Art, doing nothing in P.E, working with bacteria in Biology, and working with surface area and volume in Geometry. Very, very hectic first week back.

Bright side is that it's Friday and that means weekend time to relax. My family's going to a friend's house later tonight for a (belated) Cinco de Mayo party. It's a bit crazy how a lot of people in California make a big deal about it compared to Indiana who's like, "Whatever". Heh..

I think this weekend I'll be doing what I normally do: draw, write, text friends, and watch T.V. Oh, and add on thinking of ideas for summer. My friend, Jamie, will be gone all summer doing job stuff and going to her sister's wedding so I'll be left here with everyone else and I'm still thinking of ideas and stuff cause other than going to Yosemite and my uncle coming over I'm doing nothing else. Sigh.. Oh well. Still got a few weeks. And I have another week till my birthday party which will be the most insane birthday party ever. Hahahaha.

XOXO,

Going overboard

I was shocked by that too when a new episode of AFV was interrupted. So sudden and just plain out of no where. After almost ten years and Bam! they found and caught him in raid.

Funny thing is apparently we gave money to the Taliban and unintentionally put al-Qaida in some sort of power and they declared war on us and caused 9/11. Kinda funny how the world works, eh? But hey, al-Qaida had their chance to do something big after 9/11 and they didn't so thank God they didn't do anything major like blow up a major city or something.

I find it kinda creepy though cause they matched Osama's DNA with a part of his deceased sister's brain and then threw his body into the ocean...? Because that doesn't scare you just a bit.

I'm kinda disgusted though with the people cheering over his death. Okay, he did destroy the Twin Towers and all this insanity that took many lives, but cheering? That's just... what's the word? Barbaric? Unnecessary? I think both. I know he's finally dead and he got what was coming to him, but that's totally stupid. Sorry if you had family and friends you lost in 9/11 but just because the guy who caused it was killed in a raid, it doesn't mean they're gonna come back. It's been almost ten years so get over yourselves.

The only downside about Osama's death is that the war's not over. Al-Qaida is still here thanks to bin Laden's successor. So until al-Qaida is officially gone, we still got a war to finish (And oil to save. The only other reason why we're there.). So hopefully before 2012 we can get all our troops out of that large sandbox. Hopefully.

Bye Bye Vacation

So I start school up again on Monday. Didn't do much during vacation. Just played Pokemon White, watched T.V, this and that. Went out to Monterey yesterday but didn't do much. Just drove around, had lunch, and bought some shoes for my grandmother. I did come across a Plato's Closet and did some browsing. Only got two shirts and a pair of Capris though. I definently need to fill my closet and drawers with more summer-y clothes cause they're loaded with jeans and old shirts. Hopefully I'll get some time either tonight or tomorrow to go out to the mall.

Out of all my teachers, my Spanish teacher gives homework over break. We had to either do a video or make a poster and present a recipe of anything, obviously, in Spanish. I'm in Spanish 2 as of now and plan to continue taking it throughout the rest of my high school years... Well to Spanish 4 AP if possible. Hahaha. It's pretty convenient cause since my mom married my step-dad, Isaac, I'm with a lot of Spanish speaking relatives and friends. I still get nervous when someone speaks to me in Spanish. Heheheh. It's kinda like all the knowledge I have in Spanish goes out my brain. Oh well. I'm still learning and maybe I'll be able to speak it outside of the classroom and project videos soon.

Yesterday I went to a friend's house with my family and had dinner with a bunch of friends. It's really fun sharing stories with adults. It was kinda sad though that I revealed that the Cookie Monster was changed into the Vegetable Monster when two girls were coloring in a Sesame Street coloring book. I was a bit shocked myself when I found that out just a couple years ago. I mean it's not a T.V show's fault that children are obese. When you think about it, the parents are the ones that provide them unhealthy food. Not that it's bad but when you buy your kids fast food almost every day then that's just pushing it. I still eat fast food but only once or twice every two or three weeks. Stuff like McDonald's and Burger King isn't food that's supposed to be a daily meal cause it's not healthy. Most meals families have should be homemade. It's healthy and delicious.

That was my little outlook on life moment. I'm gonna finish watching Matilda and enjoying the smell of my mom cooking.

XOXO,

Covergirl, put the bass in your walk



While I wait for my Spanish project to burn on a DVD very slowly I think I'll do some blogging.

Watched the finale of RuPaul's Drag Race yesterday. For those who don't know, RuPaul's Drag Race is like America's Next Top Model, but with drag queens. And it is by far the best TV show I've ever seen!

The winner was a drag queen named Raja (picture of him out of drag shown). He was my all time favorite out of all the drag queens in the show. Always creative and beautiful. Me and Marina knew he would win. He won almost every challenge in the show.

I like this show because it shows that it's okay to be a social misfit, a drag queen, and/or gay. How many models can say that? If anyone can find me one that can, then I'll be interested. I also love that they make their own clothes and use their own styles of drag out on the runway. And it doesn't matter if what you wear is "in" or not you just sell it on the runway.

Can't wait for the fourth season of RuPaul's Drag Race.

XOXO,

Happy Zombie Jesus Day!

Or as you "normal" people call it, Happy Easter.

One of the holidays in the year that doesn't make sense where we celebrate Jesus going zombie and bunnies leaving colored eggs made of chocolate and their own rabbit brothers that have randomly turned into chocolate. Just make sure your kids are actually eating chocolate and not those weird circular brown droppings that smell funny.

So for today we invited a bunch of friends over for a barbecue. Food, alcohol, and Discovery Fit & Health channel all afternoon. Fun stuff. And I'm getting tired.

And now we're watching Cleopatra.... And singing Veggietales.

XOXO,

Obsession with J-Pop



J-pop: Japanese pop music which is really awesome! With me being bored at home I have nothing else to do but get obsessed.

Day one of vacation. Good Friday. Did absolutely nothing but watch T.V, play around on Facebook, text, and play Pokemon. Kinda gonna be bored with it being Easter and friends doing possible religious stuff for the weekend. Hopefully I'll be going out with a friend or two during the week.

Oh and today me and my sister, Marina, accidentally drugged up our cat, Kline. We were giving him his first bath ever since we got him and he was already freaking out. He jumped out of the sink three times and was "meowing" loudly. I use quotes due to the fact he sounded like a gremlin. So we used dog shampoo on Kline cause Marina figured it wouldn't cause any harm to him. Keep this in mind: it's lavender and mint dog shampoo. So once we start lathering him up with it, he starts tripping like there's no tomorrow. Jumped out of the sink two more times until we rinsed off all the soap. And afterwards he was just avoiding us and hid under Marina's bed. So I'm telling my mom all of this via texting and she said the cat was freaking out because he was stoned. So it was then me and Marina learned that mint makes cats trip and to read labels before possibly drugging your cat. That was an eventful day. At least he smells nice.

Also did some spring cleaning today as well. Found some old stuff. Did a bit of rearranging. And Marina let me take some books of hers that she wasn't reading anymore so I have a nice little book collection I gotta get through. Hahahaha.

And I saw on the news of Lindsay Lohan going to jail and rehab for the third time. It's like, are you setting a record here or just proving that rehab doesn't do crap Lohan? I blame childhood fame for it. Britney Spears was part of the Mickey Mouse Club and look at her. Once was a really famous pop singer and now she's back trying way too hard. Sorry Britney.

And Miley Cyrus. Who can forget the ordeal a few years ago with her song "Can't be Tamed"? Boy did people go ballistic. Same thing happened with Britney. She's not gonna do Disney forever. Let's just hope she doesn't end up having her career spiral into the toilet.

Let's face it. Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake are the only members of the Mickey Mouse Club whose lives are perfectly fine. Because they didn't let the fame go to their heads. Just saying.

XOXO,

*explosion*

FINALLY! It's Spring Break! And yes California's weird cause they have their spring breaks in late April instead of late March. I've really needed a vacation after STAR testing stupidity.

Our last two days of testing were pretty easy. Just Math and Biology. No biggie. Though it was pointless to have school today when we just had two days of tiring block schedule and testing. And teachers giving homework over vacation? I mean what the heck's with that? We all deserve a break from thinking hard and trying to get good grades. Give our brains a rest. The only homework I got was from English, Geometry, and Spanish. English and Geometry were done in class. Spanish, I have to do a video so of course I gotta do it over break.

Biology, we started watching a video called The Miracle of Life. Yes the same video they show in high school of a baby being born. Fun stuff. We haven't gotten to the part where the baby's been born due to a short class but we gotta continue it when we get back. Not gonna look forward to that but am looking forward to the people around me squealing like girls. Hahahaha.

So for my Easter weekend/spring break I have no idea what I'll be doing. My mom did say something about going out to Monterey Beach or something. But other than that nothing I can really think of now.

XOXO,
Liz
