I have found there is always entertainment on youtube. Examples are...



Or...



and okay yeah... that ones on a movie but still entertaining no? this next one is funny but kinda saucy so skip it if you don't really find entertainment in that kind of thing...



The next one is just plain entertaining, get your parents to watch it and see if they reckognize some of the songs. I guarantee they will!



and if your into the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air This is one of my favorite scenes... :)



And oh how Eric and Red never get old...



Anyone else have awesome youtube videos to share?

In my life I have realized books teach me the little life lessons. With some of my friends donating to this knowledge but it has come to my attention that I must have loved Lemony Snicket very much. Because I find myself recalling things form The Unfortunate Events quite often. Such as...

"Everyone should be able to do one card trick, tell two jokes, and recite three poems, in case they are ever trapped in an elevator."

True stuff there. What would one do when stuck in an elevator other than the above?

"Reading is one form of escape. Running for your life is another."

Another piece of very valuable information. Don't you agree?

"It is always cruel to laugh at people, of course, although sometimes if they are wearing an ugly hat it is hard to control yourself."

I will leave you with some of my favorite life-lessons from Snicket. You should ponder them and maybe even apply them to your life. :)

"If writers wrote as carelessly as some people talk, then adhasdh asdglaseuyt[bn[ pasdlgkhasdfasdf."

"I suppose I'll have to add the force of gravity to my list of enemies."

"Miracles are like meatballs, because nobody can exactly agree on what they are made of, where they come from, or how often they should appear."

"It is one of life's bitterest truths that bedtime so often arrives just when things are really getting interesting."

"I don't know if you've ever noticed this, but first impressions are often entirely wrong."

"There is no worse sound in the world than someone who cannot play the violin but insists on doing so anyway."

"People don't always get what they deserve in this world."

... because I just watched Dr.Horribles Singing-Blog for the first time.


OMG. I love it. I feel really bad for Dr.Horrible though. And... I just want a sequel really bad now.

It's kinda funny though because like in the future? When He's this badass super-villain at least we know behind it is the psychological torment of knowing he killed his love. So in a strange way... to me it seems justified.

Even though my heart did break when Penny tells him that Captain Hammer will save them. That was a kick in the gut type of line.

I think I love Dr.Horrible and I really wish that Joss would add more to the sereis don't you? lol.

Have had a crappy day.

I need to read/watch a good movie with a good love triangle to put me in the mood for a scene I'm getting ready to write. Any one got any ideas? Something along the lines of Pearl Harbor or Hyde, Kelso and Jackie on That 70's show.

Please please please say ya'll have got something...

ETA: OMG if I use the 'I' one more time in this paragraph.... *breaks pencil*

I hate that it's over. :-/




I just went and re-read through my favorite parts... *sigh*

I am now starting Bleach, and Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles. Any other recs?

So the blizzard here in Oklahoma is not cool. We're not going to state competion because the roads are so bad we can't get to the city. Grrr. Just Grrr. So now I find myself being utterly bored. No one else is really updating and anachred's last post just made me want to travel more so then I got started looking for travel jobs since I am graduating and all in a year.

Does anyone have any ideas? I don't want to be it hospitality or tourism those are the boring travel jobs. And they're silly because everyone who actually lives in the towns tend to hate tourists and I don't like to be hated. I thought of photography and I liek taking pictures and all but that seems kinda boring actually. All I want is to learn the culture of the places I'm going and just ya know... get away from the U.S. learn about other places. I'd love it, I know but I do need a good paying job as well so... Ideas? Anyone?

Also. What do you guys do for fun when your stuck inside and have nothign to read? I know there's the internet but what are good sites to go to as a sort of thing to take up your time. Entertainment and all that. Got anything? Please, please, please, share the links with me.

I haven't posted like at all lately. School is tough and this week was spring break me and mom went to Branson and they've never heard of wi-fi there. :) Everything is going great though. Guards almost over. Started writing on my story again. I hadn't looked at it since I wrote it this summer. Mostly because the writing was so horrid I couldn't believe I wrote that horrible but hey I guess thats what re-writes are for.

I'm quite busy with school so posts will still be only a now and then thing but I'm alive and I'll try to still read ya'lls blogs too. And comment. :) Laters. Hope Ya'll understand.

I'm checking my mailbox religiously everyday waiting for my ARC of Bloodhound by Tamora Pierce to come. Everyday though it's either empty or has a letter from some college telling me how amazing I am because they picked me when I don't even know them.

Right now I'm in my computers class. I just finished printing my report on Ancient Greece and I'm really hoping it turned out as good as I think it did.

So now I'm uber-bored done with all my work and utterly content looking up random stuff on the net all with the comfort of my Dr.Pepper and Skittles lol.

Oh and in Band news I'm pretty sure we're gunna get a two in sightreading which is going to totally suck for our director. I feel bad for him but some people just don't care. That's what sucks about having to work with lazy people. GRRR.

So I have a band filled week. I had pre-districts Thursday, today is the Band Coronation (Sp?) and I have to stay after that to practice the Winterguard show. And then tomorrow I'm starting a new set of classes. I'm both sad and happy about this actualy. I won't have any more Algebra, but I won't have English or Biology either. :( I'm starting World Geography and Government, along with two computer classes. So I'm kinda excited kinda not.

In book news I have won an ARC of the sixth book of the Ranger's Apprentice series. Which I've never read so I'm thinking I'll give it to one of my friends at the library and see if there's anything she wants to do with it.

Aaaaaaaand drumroll please? I am going to be getting an ARC of Bloodhound by Tamora Pierce!!! I am soooo extatic about that... I don't even know how to express that... !!!

I'll give more details later but right now I've got to go get prettied up for the concert. Laters.

Video Games... They're addicting...

Tried to keep it pretty spoiler free but... ye be warned.

I've seen a lot of hub-lub about this book and finally picked it up at the good ole' B&N over the weekend. Lets just say it was worth it. Oh yes. It. Was. Worth. It. Ever since acting in A Midsummer Night's Dream I've been in love with faeries. Wicked Lovely and it's semi-sequel boosted that even more and tgen I find this book. And it blew me away. I mean it's an unbelievable new take on the original story by Shakespeare. Plus it adds new elements. Like I never would have pegged Oberon as he was portrayed in this story. And the whole changling aspect was brought into play in a way I'd never even considered. Plus, my favorite character in the story, Puck was given an awesome role in the story. Basically this story ended with me wanting a lot more and I really really hope there's a sequel.

*Fingers Crossed*

This commercial makes me laugh everytime I watch it...

:(

I was gunna go to the Zoo to visit my friend, who somehow got a job there in the marsupial(Sp??) section. And now because of the ice storms we've been having I can't go. And I'm very sad. Because

a) No otters. Otters have to be the cutest of all mammals in existance. I swear I adore Otters.
b) The baby Kangaroo. It's adorable in the pictures she's shown me. I want to hold it. But of course I can't because I'm quite certain its under very close surveilance and I think its mother might punch me or go all Kangaroo Jack on me or something. But still... I'll miss out on admiring it from a distance.
c) The Tiger. Because tigers just rule the panthera genus (Wow how much of a nerd am I?). And they are my favorite animals ever.
d) I won't get to go behind the scenes with her! Grr I was looking forward to it.

The jaguar is pregnant! With twins. How exciting is that? I love the cats. Wolves are cool to but... come on Cats Rule and Dogs Drool. Ha, hows that for a middle-school reference?

So the Ice Storm. Yeah School was cancelled today and tomorrow and maybe even the next day. The only good thing about this is no sectionals. Which means no having to get up at 5:30 in the mornign in order to take a shower before being at school an hour early for band. Oh the dedication one must have to be in band. We even sign a contract. Did you know that? Oh well we got sixth place out of like twenty bands though so I guess there's a reason but still.

I've re-read the entire Mediator and 1-800-Where-Are-You series' by Meg Cabot. Today. Yes I read that fast and no I did not skip through them. ALthough I will say I do not own the third 1-800 book but it's really not that important.

I entered another contest for Fragile Eternity so *fingers crossed again*

If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding, but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend;
If you pardon, we will mend.
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearnéd luck,
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long:
Else the Puck a liar call.
So good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.
-Puck, A Midsummer Night's Dream.


I lvoe fairies. Don't you love fairies? They're so appropriately tricky.

Censorship was a topic ofvdiscussion at dinner last night. It led to me writing a short little three page story about a censored 'country'. It turned out pretty good in my mind. I'm going to take it to my awesome Freshmen English Teach tomorrow and see what she thinks.

So it's absolutely freezing here and I'm about to go to practice that will be unheated and goodness gracious, I pray we don't have to go for three hours. *crosses fingers* I also need to pull my sax out of my trunk and practice a bit tonight. Right now my mom and cat are both asleep on the couch and I thinkit's rather charming, except for the snoring thats kinda annoying.

Anywhoo, I'm going to try to find some sweats or something to change into.

!!! I got a new concept for my twins story. It's based off the stories of Apollo and Artemis the twin Greek Gods of The Sun and The Moon. I'm supre psyched and I'll share more as the idea completely develops.

Dear God!

I have entered five contests to win a fraglie eternity ARC. It's the next book in the Wicked Loevly series by Nelissa Marr. And lost four of them. The fifth one is putting up results today *fingers crossed, please oh please*

I've gotten to that point where I want to know what happens and I don't care how to go about that. It's on EBay. But, I don't have an account and dad wants it. I could look at the reviews but... :( Thats like cheating.

In order to write my story I have to learn how to count cards. So I've been forcing my friends to play blackjack after school. Now before this weekend I didn't know how to play blackjack let alone about counting cards. I did go see 21 but that was mostly because Jim Morrison's Break on Through played in the trailer.

Anyway lets just say it's reallly entertaining to play blackjack with two people who don't know how to play and one of their boyfriends who knows the basics, but still isnt quite sure. And then a problem I ran into. I don't think they counted cards in the Nineteenth century. I think it was more of a... lets hide cards up my sleeve while playing poker type thing. Sooo... *sigh*

When explaining my idea, my friend was repulsed at the idea that my character is supposed to marry her cousin.... I mean they did that back then didn't they? Didn't Queen Victoria do that? I think so...

In order to write this new idea I have ceased working on my other stories which is going to bite me I know. Oh well... back to writing little scenes...

(P.S. American Idol is interesting so far.... O.o)

So you know how the internet works. You start looking up one thing and before you know it, your on a completely different topic. Which is okay because I mean that's how you learn right? But I am also really confused.

An idea popped into my head tonight. And the setting is eighteenth century London. So I look up some stuff relative to the plot. Gambling, Pubs, Fashion, and Titles. Good Lord. Titles go soooooo deep don't they? From there I went to wikipedia and serched Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire. She's kinda cool actualy and I decided to rent 'The Duchess' ASAP. But fromt here I got to Princess D, and form there to Prince William. That got me into the whole, His Royal Highness, Her Majesty and whatnot.

I'm still not quite sure how it would work, for instance, when Queen Elizabeth I died, (Henry VIII's daughter) she didn't have an heir, so how did they decide who was her succesor?

And what if something happened to Prince William and Prince Harry? Then who would take the throne? It was saying that he's third in line for the throne right now so does he have cousins? They would get it right? Well what if something (God Forbid) happened to that whole line. Then who gets the crown? Would it go into a civil war type thing, or would all the Duke's and stuff battle it out?

There are sooo many questions that I don't have answers to about this... I only really know what I've seen in books where like the younger brother tries to kill the older so he can have the throne, and generally the girls are ignored...

Idk just my musings for the night.
