"Doug, why do you still say awesome?"

I just realized that I've been in an unusually good mood the past few days. Which is weird for me, if you're wondering. Seriously, not to brag or rub it in your face (well, not that much anyways), but it's like I'm being followed by a scary little good luck sprite or something. It makes the Christmas season all the more worthwhile. <:) (that was supposed to be a saddish smiley, but he looks like he's wearing a hat, so he'll be an elf) Yeah, pretty much awesome.
Speaking of awesome, I'm suddenly reminded of Christy Miller, THE dumbest series I think I have ever read. Omg, the main character is such a loser and the series is supposedly about Christian teens going through life with God but the only reason she is alive is this surfer dude named Todd! And she calls him a scruffy baboon and, wow, wouldn't you know it, they get married in the last book! And you people are probably not seeing the connection, so I'll explain.
Okay, there's this dude named Doug (by the way, this series takes place in like the late 80's and everyone wears really ugly clothes; even the cheerleaders.) and he's always all, "Dude, that's like totally awesome!" (like me :D) Anyways, Christy is always all, "Doug, why do you still say awesome? Awesome is like so yesterday!" And this is coming from a girl who wears bright red socks, tight green pants, and white tennies? Complete with a Pooh Bear sweatshirt? Um, no, I would think YOU are, Christy.
It's time for another...HARVEST MOON UPDATE! (Jeopardy "Daily double" sound) Wow, "Happy Birthday" is more interesting than I thought. For instance: Grandma Romana just gave me a cat. I was like shocked cuz I thought that didn't happen till later on. But it did. His name is Sparks and he steals food from my dog. What I don't understand is why my son Beyonce absolutely LOATHES the dog, but loves the cat. Seriously, he even had HEARTS in his dialogue when I showed it to him. o_O weirded out.
Another thing...Moosium (one of my cows) has been acting strangely why? SHE'S A MOM! Well, not yet, but she has the calf in her stomach as of now! And Cynthia is in isolation because SHE'S GONNA BE GIVING MOMMA'S MILK IN A FEW DAYS!!!!!!!!!! I'LL BE RICH! I mean, I love new life! :)
Um, that's pretty much it. Oh yeah, MY ALGEBRA TEACHER IS BACK!!!!!!!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! (YES, that's a good thing, cuz I love algebra and we had all these weird subs while he was gone. Mr. E was cool. No one else was.)

Things I wish I understood

I don't get it. I just don't get it. (actually, I don't get lots of things, but read on) How can Lost have gone from the coolest show ever to the dumbest, most predictable soap I have ever seen? It's crazy! It used to be really freaky (not scary, freaky) and after every episode I'd be all, "OMG, I'M SO FREAKED OUT! I WONDER WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN NEXT!" Now I only watch the show to see if Claire will get shot (I seriously dislike her). In fact, here's a list of things that I don't understand.

1. Why "Biggest Loser" and "Felicity" had to be on on the same night. I mean, it's not like I like American Girls anymore, but after seeing how stupid "Samantha" was last year, I could go for a little more comic relief. It can't hurt.
2. How you becoming a cheerleader isn't selling your soul to the devil (just kidding. I actually know some nice cheerleaders. Just not that many...AAAAH! DON'T HURT ME!)
3. Why both my brother and my friend shaved their heads. They left at least a 1/4 inch of stubble, so it doesn't look that bad. It's fun to rub, too. Frankly, tho, I can't get used to them not having long(er) hair. Or hair, at least.
4. How "Eragon", a wonderful book, could have such a lame ending. (I'm not stupid, I KNOW there's a sequel; I just haven't read it yet. And the ending wasn't that lame. Just disappointing. Seriously: "I will come." It should've ended with one of Saphira's witty phrases or something)
5. Why I can't have Pop Tarts for breakfast. (PLEASE, Mom, they have 8 essential vitamins and minerals! Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease...please? ((I'm not a whiner, I just really need my daily amount of sugar before I start my day. You have no idea what it's like to go to my school. At this school, there are CHEERLEADERS! Wearing RED, WHITE AND BLUE! ON A REGULAR BASIS! OH MY GOSH!!!!!! Sugar makes them stay away. It makes them think I'm weird. Nobody I know better not comment on that...)))
6. Why College Ed is required of us sevvies. It's a stupid class! I haven't learned ANYTHING except candy bars give you good career options!)
7. Why there's a poster in Mr. G's room that says "7ees rok 7ees rok 7ees rok, etc." If 7 = seven, then the poster says "SEVENees rok". What's a sevenee?

A post to drive y'all crazy

It's a Monday after school and I'm online when I ask myself, "Gee, Lauren, how did Harvest Moon go?" Most of you are screaming and clicking "Next Blog". Those whose computers are slow beyond recognition...>:D

Harvest Moon...Harvest Moon...where should I start? Actually, nothing exciting happened. Same old, same old. My chickens started laying golden eggs, tho. And my cow is acting "strangely". Literally. I was all talking to her (no, I'm not crazy, you're suposed to talk to your cows to make them feel happy and give more milk. Only my cow stopped giving milk like a billion years ago and I'm trying to make her start milking again ((if you catch my drift)), but Miracle Potion is expensive if you don't have a bull) and the little text box said, "Moosium (that's her name) is doing fine, but acting strangely..." What's that supposed to mean? Did my bull (I lied, I do have a bull, he's just expecting a calf. Well, he's not, but...whatever.) decide to cheat on his cow-wife and...um...go pro dairy again? Nasty. :P
I need sheep, but Cynthia (other cow) is gonna have a calf, then I need Moosium to have a calf, and I already have two cows, a bull, a horse, and a goat (who has NOT stopped milking after one season. Whoever said that was crazy.), and I might get some ducks (if I have enough room in my nine chicken condo), so I could only get one sheep. That's one thing of golden wool a season. And I only have one chicken laying golden eggs and a goat laying milk, so I'd have enought to live off of, but I need milk. (sorry for the complaining. Actually, I'm not, but now I feel better inside.)
:( I need to get a life.

Sunday, Gamecube, and corduroy jackets

It's a Sunday. It's not like I don't like Sundays. I get to see most of my friends at church and at Youth Group, but on Sundays, I'm either bored out of my mind or not allowed to do anything other than homework. Today, those two elements are combined.
Example:
I want to play Gamecube, but my brother is already playing Xbox. And I have to do reading anyway. I also have to practice trombone for ONE HOUR! NYAAAAAH! Okay, to some people, that might not be such a big deal, but COME ON! To get an hour, I split my practice time into 30 minute incraments. To get half an hour, I have to play scales for five minutes, 1 minutes for warm up, then spend 24 minutes on my music. Since each song only lasts 2 minutes, I have to play each song 3 times. Okay, "Phantom of the Opera", when you're not playing melody, gets OLD after 3 times. -_- Go figure. It's my fault anyways. I'm the one who in 4th grade was all, "I WANNA PLAY TROMBONE!" But no. I was already taking piano (which I hated. I'm still taking it, mind you.) and riding lessons (snore, even tho horses rock the nursing home), so if I wanted to take trombone so badly, I had to give up riding lessons. (which wasn't much of a sacrifice, but I am OBSESSED with horses and NEVER get to be around them, so give up my chance to hang with horses once a week? NEVER!) However, then the horse I rode got pregnant and I had to quit until she had her baby. That's what my mom said anyways. Once little colty was weaned and ready to go...I was in 5th grade, in first year band, playing...TROMBONE. It's a coolies instrument, but I'd rather play melody than bass line.

Whoa, I was typing, and a roll of yellow tape got stuck to my jacket (see title). I swear, it would not come OFF! I felt it and it's not even that sticky! Weirded out. o_O

Since you people are obviously really annoyed with my Harvest Moon dedicated posts, I'll make another one just for you. O:) (that's supposed to be a halo but it looks like a fro. Or an egg. Or a DUCK.)

Ode to a four day weekend

The bell rung at only 10:30.
We screamed and grabbed our backpacks and ran towards our bright red lockers,
so crammed full of old test papers and science notes and navy blue sweatshirts.
As excited as we were, we didn't forget to stop along the way
and stare at the good looking ninth graders walking by.

Friday:
Boredom.
Complete
and
total
boredom.
The
party
was
still
9
hours
away.
GAAAAAAH!

Saturday:
No comment.

Sunday:
Oh Sunday.
How cruel you seem,
to take away the joy of freedom,
of the absence of school.
Even you must admit
that watching Buzz Lightyear to pass the time
is most annoying and not a worthwhile activity.
Tomorrow, we would again wake at 5:45
and sluggishly enter the showers.
Then, as we entered first period, our joyous four day weekend
would be but a memory,
nothing but a dream.







Beat THAT, Robert Frost!

What a day (night? er, morning?)

Man, I hate four day weekends. Don't get me wrong, I love two extra days off from school, but the day after Thanksgiving, I ask my mom, "Soooooo...what we gonna do today?" "Oh, I dunno, sit around, read, stuff like that." Not. Cool. Okay, I'm one of those obsessive people that needs a schedule or I will go insane. Not like I wasn't already. Wait...

So, anyways, about my weekend...well, I went to my friend's birthday party. Didn't fall asleep until 3:00 (dude, you're not supposed to sleep at sleepovers anyway) due to the fact that I was stressing over not being able to watch the end of "Ms. Congeniality" because of the sleep timer. (curses; I love that movie) Oh yeah, and now my friend Amber knows. You know, about that certain guy that I dedicated a whole post to. -_- It wasn't even funny cuz I totally gave it away. Me and my big mouth. >:P (whoa, what the heck is that?)

Harvest Moon update: Sheez, I swear, "Happy Birthday" is the most boring chapter in Year 1. And this is my first time playing this game, so I have nothing TO LOOK FORWARD TO! I literally spent like 2 hours on gamewinners Thursday night and found all these "cheat codes". Those were the lamest "cheat codes" I have ever received. My gosh, all of them were things that would happen LATER IN THE GAME! Like YEAR 2! And I'm still on YEAR 1! NYAAAAH! And apparently my son wants to be a rancher. Why else would he be walking around the farm asking me about fertilized eggs (chicken eggs, mind you) and the cuteness of animals. Well, tomorrow is a Sunday. Joy and tidings. At least there's youth group, so whatever.

Everything that has nothing to do with a certain person I will not discuss

If you read the title thorougly, I'm not discussing who you wish I'll discuss, especially my friends reading this. Anyways...

Um...Harvest Moon is uh good. I got married and am almost done with Happy Birthday or whatever. Only my son's name is Beyonce. Sad for him. Hehehe. And my wife is all...not flamboyant. I am. So she's not like me. Ooops. Oh well, after I beat the game, I'm playing again and this time, I'm so picking Muffy. Even though she's not a master mixologist like Griffin. whatever.

Avalon stunk. Didn't I do a whole post on that? Okay. I'm still not talking about HIM. That guy.

School... Okay. Freshman stink. Just thought I'd tell you. They're so annoying.
Fresh girls: Omg, and he said and she said and they said omg!
Fresh guys: You thought Kanye was going down the other road? Well guess who he's dating? BEYONCE! OOOOOOH!

Ummm....(take my mind of him) So how about Lost tonight, you crazy castaways? (oh my gosh, I sound like one of the Wiggles. Not like I watch the Wiggles.)

Maybe I should end this post due to boredom, being corny, and thinking about...that guy.

Avalon-O

5 months ago, my mom and walked into Barnes and Nobles looking for a new book in my favorite series "Avalon". One problem: No Avalon. Avalon is gone from the shelves, there's no trace of it anywhere. So we ask an employee for help.

Employee: Hmmm, it should be on the shelves... Let's go check.
Duh. It's not ON the shelves. We just CHECKED!
Employee: Wow, it's not there. Hm...this is very interesting. Well, would you like me to order it for you?
Me: Please and thank you.
So she logs onto her little cpu and is all, "And what is the title of the book you're looking for?"
Me: *freezing* Um.....I dunno.
Employee: *annoyed* Do you know the author?
Me: Rachel Roberts.
Employee: *types quickly, then appears deeply confused* Well, Dark Mage, #5, is out.
Mom: Wow, I didn't know that one would be out.
Employee: *in a bored tone* It came out in December 2004. Is that the one you're looking for?
Me: No. I'm looking for #4.
Employee: Oh. *types, looks confused* Well, there's Heart of Avalon, #4, but that doesn't come out until January 2006! Huh?
Me: Um...could you order Dark Mage then?
Employee: Are you sure?
Me: (in my head: Duh) Yes.
Employee: Okay. I'll order it for you. *types* Okay, we'll call or e-mail you when it comes in.

That was 5 months ago. Not only that, they said in July that it had backordered and wouldn't come until August. Well, August was 3 months ago, don't you people think they're a litle OFF?

Not only that, the book sorta stunk. My favorite character was portrayed as a weakling and a loser that DOESN'T GET NO STINKIN PET! Not only that, there's all this foreshadowing of Kara and Adriane not getting along. Kara did something to Zach and Adriane's all, "OMG YOU ALMOST HURT MY BF'S MAGIC! BLA BLA BLA, YOU'RE SO OUT OF CONTROL!" Only she's dark and mysterious, so she didn't scream. She just yelled. At least Emily got to level 2. And got a paladin. Yeah. You people probably don't know what I'm talking about.

I'm so stupid

Geez, I just create a blog and WHOA! Total space out! I forget my password. So at 11 AM, I'm on for HALF AN HOUR desperately trying to think up what my password could be. Then my friend Amber was all, "Dude, can't you like get a password e-mail thing?" Actually, she didn't say that, just something along those lines. Duh. Sheez, you are sooooo gifted. Why thank you.

The Reason For It All

Screenname: NO, I did NOT GET LUCKY in that way. (if you know what I mean) It's all the fault of the ducks. Seriously, I walk into Claire's and WHOA there's this sale! 10 things for...5$? COOL! So I'm looking around and there's this awesome notebook with these ducks on it and one of them has purple shoes. At the bottom it's all, "I guess I'm just a lucky duck." Okay, people, that's appealing to ME cuz 1. I love ducks. I just do. Not a psychiactric problem or anything. It was how God made me. 2. I'm a writer. And writers need....NOTEBOOKS!!!! So this inspiring image led to the EXTREMELY AWESOME SCREENNAME AND YOU ALL KNOW IT!!!!!!

Blog title: I need to get out more. Seriously, I'm all at Old Navy with my mom and there's this police bug with "Geek Squad" on the side. Me: Why is it called the Geek Squad car? It's awesome! Mom: Yeah, it's adorable. (I'll stick with awesome thanks) Then, four weeks later....BAM! Open up a catologue and there's an advertisement! (Yeah, that's basically what catologues are) Something about the Geek Squad speeding up your cpu for only $30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Coolies. How come I didn't know this before? Since I was on the whole "I am a nerd" thing last year, I somehow in my creative brain thought up the title. Yeah.

Lack of profile: I'm WORKIN ON IT!
