HAPPY New Year! (Well, sort of)

I am sitting here drinking bubbly (flat grape soda, but whatever) and eating cream puffs. Seriously. Cream puffs. Right after I come home from Chinese food in Seattle and a Caramel Chip Cheesequake Blizzard. Cream. Puffs. I feel like some snobby British chick, such as a certain PIRATE SKANK I could mention.
"John, I do feel like a good sup." "Have some cream puffs." "Oh, cream puffs, how *Lauren possesses her* FLAMABLAMABLOUS, SUCKA!"
Only, snobby British chicks don't wear cowboy hats.
Yes.
I forsook my festive hat (which matched my emo attire) to wear the cowboy hat my Grandpa gave me.
WEEEEEEEEEE!
Those were okay cream puffs.
I have indigestion now, but hey, life's too short to waste a good nuked up cream puff.
NUKES!!!!!!!!!!
Eh.
So the gift wrapping party wasn't too awesome. It took like 2 hours for everyone to get there, while we watched b-ball. (WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH THE ZAGS LOST! *sobs*) WTH, Kit went all psycho on me when I made fun of the Zag's coach, cuz he was doing this weird sign that looked really perverted and I was all, "Haha, I wonder what that means." Then Kit's like, "DUH, he's calling for a pick. Even I KNOW THAT!" And I said something else and he's all, "You haven't even PLAYED basketball yet, Lauren!" WtH? And You HAVE, soccer geek? BTW, I played in 5TH GRADE, sucka.
So I totally should have gotten him back tonight at the restraunt, but he brought his GIRLFRIEND. According to "Wife Swap", that is a sign of comfort and trust. And she was nice. THANK GOODNESS. Not like I've encountered any of these (SEEING AS ALL MY COUSINS/SIBLINGS ARE SINGLE OR NOT COMFORTED OR TRUSTING!), but if she had been one of those nightmare girlfriends, I would've kicked her butt. But she was really nice.
I WANT MAGENTA'S DRESS! THAT WOULD BE SO AWESOME!
And combat boots.
OH YEAH, the gift party.
I got clothes. They were nice, but I do have a list people. Only the "Grateful Heart" song keeps running through my mind. Thanks God, I got the reminder.

I am an EMO! (the quiz said so)

You're an emo! You may or may not hurt yourself in some way...I hope you don't. Thats not good for your heath! You get yourself some anti-depressants and a doctor missy or mister.

Yeah, I didn't make the quiz, someone else did. Not exactly an accurate result, but I liked the picture.
I need to find a site that gives a personality quiz every week.

Uh oh...

Was dye supposed to come off my head and go into the water?
Curse you, color-safe shampoo.
That conditioner stuff smells BAD and I couldn't even get it all into my hair.
Curse you, thick puffy fro.
Pleeeeease don't fade, pleeeeeease don't fade...
YAAAAAAAAY I beat all the levels of LSW2! Except for the extra Jabba the Hutt level? I'm only 48.3% finished. I have to beat all the super stories, get all the superkits, get all the minikits, beat the minikit challenge, and do that...other thing. I forgot. AAAAAAAGH I was ONE golden brick away from the golden gateway for "Return of the Jedi", but nooo. And I was 4000 points away from 45,000 so I couldn't buy Brick number 8.
I think George Lucas copied Tolkien. "Return of the King" = "Return of the Jedi". GASP!
Wow, what an accurate mermaid description. Selina Fenech...I'll have to keep that in mind. The picture's not bad either, except for the chick's lack of clothing. -_-
Yeah.
YAAAAAY we get to finish CHRISTMAS today! Since we were gone for Christmas, we didn't get our presents, and everyone else didn't get theirs, so WE'RE HAVING ANOTHER UNWRAPPING PARTY!
"What's your favorite hair color?" Oh, that's easy. Not blonde. *glares* Them and their blue dyed heads. You: What? Never mind.
Obviously Harry Potter is for me cuz I like dark hair and green eyes. ????? I don't get it.

Long swishy emo hair!

YAAAAAAAAY MY HAIR IS BLACK! I'm totally going to keep it this way forever. And the red streak is all bright and perty.
Weeee.
That's pretty much it.

Fantasy Eragon Cast

This would've made for a much better movie. Maybe funnier. I don't know.

Cast:
Eragon: William Moseley (If he could do Peter, he can do Eragon.)
Brom: Jeremy Irons (better cast = better performance. The man stays.)
Arya: Liv Tyler (She played an elf once, she can do it again.)
Durza: Chrisopher Lloyd (much creepier...gives off a true child molester vibe.)
Galbatorix: Uh...Liam Neeson? Christopher Lee? I KNOW! Ian Mcdiarmid! Or the ORIGINAL EMPEROR...who's the same guy...dang.
Murtagh: Garrett Hedlund (perfect in every way...JUST LIKE MARY POPPINS!)
Uncle Garrow: Bruce Boxleitner (THAT GUY FROM YOUNG BLADES! BEST PAX SHOW EVER!)
Roran: Mark Hildreth (THAT OTHER GUY FROM YOUNG BLADES! And they're small parts, so their HORRIBLE ACTING DOESN'T MATTER!)
King Hrothgar: Edward Asner (He was a wonderful Santa...) or Burl Ives? (aww, he's dead. Never mind.)
Ajihad: MR. T!!!!!
Saphira: Rachel Weisz (She stays too)
Horst: Some big fat guy who's jolly and stern???
Sloan: Some anorexic old guy.
Angela: EMMA THOMPSON! MWAHAHAHA!
Nasuada: ANYONE BUT RAVEN! Um...Jennifer Hudson. Yeah. She could've sung Ajihad's mourning song.

Yeah. That's pretty much it. Read it and weep.

HANGOVER

Aaaaaaaah I'm soooo tired. I fell asleep at like 1:30 last night. It was because of that stupid 20 oz Pepsi I bought.
Paul Dano is 23...who knew?
Why can't they just cast teenagers as teenagers?
Not only was I up forever, I had "My Immortal" running through my head for like 2 hours.
Aaaah sadness.
I love this picture. http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0449059/00700.jpg.html Dwayne... WHY ARE THE HOT GUYS ALWAYS STUPID OR TAKEN?
This was probably Steve Carell's best movie.
Okay, not fair, how come William gets to play Pikman AND watch a movie. Some of us have a Lego Star Wars to beat.
I need to eat breakfast in like...20 minutes.
T minus 4 hours and 8 minutes till I get my hair dyed.
Oooh boy.
I guess I'm not as excited as before.
I want to watch that Barbie movie again. (HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW SHE WAS POISONING YOU? SHE PAUSED MEANINFULLY EVERY TIME SHE SAID "TEA"!)
So tired... *snore*
Yeah...
I had this weird Narnia type dream. It was like "Narnia", "Little Miss SUnshine", and "Eragon" all rolled up into one. There was a flying lion and me and my Edmund brother almost got ripped apart by centaurs, but then the lion guy saved me and stuff and I got to scream at the top of my lungs, then I went home and explained to my grandparents how I knew that a serial killer killed my parents? And that it involved lions and a herd of ponies? Eh? Eh? Eh?
Someone should buy me an organic fruit rollup.

If you believe in yourself, you can walk through walls!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I JUST BOUGHT (and watched) "BARBIE AND THE 12 DANCING PRINCESSES"!
It is pure genius, my friends. Yeah, fools. I pretty much love it.
Only there were some scenes they could've done over. I mean, seriously, there are 12 of them, and they can't stand up to an old...well, to put it nicely, witch.
Rowena: Clean the steps or you'll father'll get sicker.
Genevieve: We're tired of taking your crap. GET HER GIRLS!
AND THERE WAS AN EVIL MONKEY IN IT NAMED BRUTUS! EW! EWEWEW!
Lol, it's like that Harry Potter Unrated thing!
Genevieve: RAWR! *attacks Rowena*
Palace Guards: Whoa! Catfight!
*in pavilion*
Genevieve: Oh my goodness! This is so wonderful! I can't believe you did this for me!
Derek: I know how you can thank me... *wiggles eyebrows suggestively*
*in King's bedroom*
Doctor: Give him this elixir twice a day and all will be well.
Rowena: Uh, sure... *chugs bottle of elixir*
Hahaha.
I only got this movie after exchanging another DVD I got for Christmas. It starts with "M" and ends with "E".
Yeah.
Cuz I had money left over, I bought Evanescence's "Fallen" CD. They're actually really good, and I did like them a few years ago (I know people who are going to jump down my throat about this. Ooooh boy), but I hate how everyone's making a big deal about them being a Christian band. They're NOT. They said they're NOT. Have you read their LYRICS lately? It's not really that big a deal, but they're not and I know they're not, so stop insisting they are. The CD was GOOD, it was ust really sad. "My Immortal" and the last three songs kind of bothered me. Amy Lee has experienced some death. Geez...
I GET TO DYE MY HAIR TOMORROW! EEEEEEEE!

I am...very sad that he's dead/gone.

Eeeeeee, I'm rereading Eldest and I pretty much love it.
Eragon: *sniffing Arya* You smell like crushed pine needles.
Arya: What? Get off!
I NEED TO FINISH THAT SOAP EPISODE I STARTED WORKING ON BEFORE CHRISTMAS!
Yes, imdb.com, I realize "Sky Hihg" isn't a movie, I was trying to type SKY HIGH.
EEEEE someone actually replied to my post. Dang. I was the last postee. Oh well. "Does anyone else find Speed at least semi-attractive?" Of course, I'm the only one who does. *sigh*
When Eragon comes out on DVD, I'm so buying it. We watched "Over the Hedge" last night. :) I forgot how much I love it. Turns out, tho, MY GRANDMA HAD ALREADY OPENED IT UP AND WATCHED IT!!! So now she loves it too.
I really want to make a dialogue of the Eragon book. That would be fun.
AND ELDEST. Even if it is close to 700 pages. Weeorp.
Yesterday was William's birthday. He's 11, even tho he still acts like he's 7. He got some pretty sweet presents. Okay, he got ONE sweet present: Warioware Twisted for Gameboy Advance. I'm already addicted.
AND WE GOT TAKE OUT CHINESE FOOD!
Which is the first time I've done that. *sigh* I'm so weird.
How come my favorite Chinese Restraunt doesn't have BBQ pork? That's my favorite entree!
I can't wait for my birthday.
Apparently my parents DON'T think I have ADHD, but if it really bothers me, we can talk to the school counselor. Thanks for telling me I need COUNSELING.

Ho ho ho

I never want to go on a plane ever again. Ever. EVER. EVEREVEREVER.
We got in the car and drove for 3-4 hours.
Bad.
We got to the airport and waited for 2 hours. Reading magazines and eating calzones.
Not that bad.
Got on a flight to Chicago. Only 1.5 hours.
not bad at all.
Got to the airport. Everyone kept yelling their heads off at me.
Bad.
Got on a flight to Seattle/Tacoma. Lasted 4 hours.
REALLY REALLY BAD.
My stomach hurt, I was hungry, "Little Miss Sunshine" made me cry (NO!!!!! DWAYNE! I LOVE YOU!!!!) and it just really sucked. Not even Sean Paul could soothe me. Well, actually.
Girl, I got the right tactics to turn you on.
Me: *dancing in seat*
Yeah.
I FINALLY GOT MY CHRISTMAS PRESENTS!
I only got to open the ones from my grandparents last night. >:P ON CHRISTMAS, too!
But I got some pretty sweet stuff. Such as...FUZZY BOOTS.
AND A BLACK HOODIE.
AND A HSM CALENDAR!
AND "OVER THE HEDGE"!!!!!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Oh, and sudoku.
BUT WHO CARES?
I also got "Teen Titans: Season 2" with my hair present thing.
I'm planning on dyeing my hair black with a pink streak. Maybe. I'm hoping. That's what I'm going for AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME!!!!!!!
Merry Christmas, y'all.
*saddens* I think I have ADHD. Which explains a lot.
Dang.
I better tell my parents.
They'll want to know.

ERAGON THEORIES

Seriously, http://www.shurtugal.com opened up some possibilities I hadn't even thought of. But I thought some of them were total crap. Like Brom being Eragon's father? Maybe, but I don't think CP is talented enough to pull that off, and even if he WAS, I don't think he would go in that direction. Then again, it does make a lot of sense and stuff, so if they're right, I'm a loser.
But about the third dragon rider: they think it is most definitely Arya. I thought it would be possibly be her. A lot of people thought it could be Orik, but why would it be Orik? Hm? Hm? Hm?
Yeah.
I DROVE THE GOLF CART TODAY! I even drove all the way home from the park. And then Nathan and I bought a hecka lot of candy and stuff. Let's see, I got...a Zero bar, some donuts, a peppermint thingy, Tootsie roll, and a Mounds. And all that's left is the Zero bar. And the coolest thing was, Nathan bought like three things, and the total was only $5. 5 BUCKS!!!!!!! Back home...well, it wouldn't be that much more, but whatever. 5 BUCKS!!
I fell asleep thinking about my soap. What does that say about it? Dang. I must be horrible.
TIME FOR A SERIOUS WRITING PROJECT.
Or not.
I'll wait for inspiration and write it in secret. Only that one story wasn't so secret. It was okay. But I couldn't think of an ending, it wasn't long enough to be a novel, the characters were about an inch deep, and it wasn't my best work. So I deleted it. *sigh* It's too late now. THERE WAS A GUY THAT LOOKED LIKE DOMINIC MONOGHAN IN IT!!!! THat was my weird Lost/hobbit/blonde people named Amy phase. I LOVE BEING A WRITER.
I need tweezers...for my braces. HA, thought I was going to say something ELSE, didn't'cha?
My brothers are watching "Talladega Nights" with Nancy. I would...but it's the UNRATED version. Hm...no thanks. I WANNA PLAY WITH PRECIOUS! *heavy breathing* AAAGH! Her mom came by (MARLY THE PUG!!!!!!) and I got to pet her. But then she attacked Nathan and ran away.
Whoa. Come to think about it, I fell asleep thinking about Garrett Hedlund. *sigh* Poor Garrett.
Dodedodedodedodedode.
I FOUND A DANCE POP STATION! *crazed dancing* YAAAAAAAAAH!
Nathan: Lame, I want rap.
Dance Pop Station: *plays rap*
William: Still lame. *falls asleep.
MY GRANDPA RULES!!
Grandpa: I'm having a beer. *few minutes pass* I sure love drinking beer. *more minutes pass* This is great beer.
Ciena: *comes in holding root beer bottle*
Grandpa: Are you having a beer?
Ciena: Yep.
Grandpa: That's good. *turns to various aunts and uncles* We're drinking beer.
Only when I asked him if he wanted another beer (he said he was thirsty and I MEANT root beer), my mom got mad.
Guess you get more priveleges when you're *snicker* older.
I need to finish Eragon soon and start "Eldest". It's been like...three or four days since I started it. *sigh* I'm so slow...

World's Strongest Washingtonian

OH! OH! OOOOOOOOOH! We were watching "World's Strongest Man" and a guy from SEQUIM TOTALLY OWNED! IT WAS SWEET, my friends.
Ew, perverted country.
I KEEP FORGETTING TO BLOG IMPORTANT DETAILS!!!!! So I shall write them all down. Or type them. Whatever.
Hair: Uh, pink? I wish I hadn't got all worked up about it and told a bunch of my friends AND pretty much my whole family about the purple thing only to have it not happen. Actually, that happens a LOT, in many different situations. Curious Audience: Such as? Uh, haha, none of your business. And I guess it's going to stay that way. Oooh boy.
Saw "Eragon" again. Wasn't as funny as the first time, but Ciena and I were laughing pretty hard. But we all (including Pheobe) really liked it. Even tho the acting pretty much sucked. My mom liked the elf girl. No comment.
Do de do de do I GOT MY FIRST DRIVING LESSON! Well, not really, it was just a golf cart. But I know how to put it in drive, reverse, the brake and stuff, but I need to work on my fast turns. I literally had to cross my arms to turn. Then I sat in the back while Grandma got us lost. Even Lady (ANOTHER DOG) thought her driving was disastrous. She didn't mind mine, tho. Maybe that's cuz she wasn't in the car. Dang.
I kinda miss school...but not that much.
I still want a puppy. Hey, THAT'S what I want for Christmas. Let's see, basic list includes: pony, puppy, purple hair (or very realistic wig?), a personal dermatologist, MY OWN CELLPHONE, an Ipod/mint chocolate?, or a Sidekick. But my mom wouldn't let me send that to my relatives. So I'm getting a Queen Amidala doll for Christmas. Actually, I really don't care. That list is probably just things I want but will never have.
SPEAKING of which, what is with women and diamonds? Oooh, shiny. But come on. If some guy was to propose to me (*cough cough* Yeah right.), forget diamonds. If you rode in on a HORSE of some sort (*gasp* LIKE BABY PAUL FROM MIRACLE RANCH! Or a dragon, maybe. *sigh* If only I still believed in mythical beasts. I want to be a Dragon Rider!!!! REALLY BAD! Or an equestrian/drummer/lead singer/punk/goth/emo/perfect skinned/mixed...uh, person.), I would totally marry you. Unless you were a girl.
Okay, I can understand why someone might mistake me for a guy when they pick up the phone, but I do NOT look like one. Yeah, I wear my brother's hand-me-downs and stuff, but I was wearing a tight GIRL shirt on the plane and the stewardess still called me "sir" and asked my dad for "his son to put his backpack away". Look at the hair. *shows off long curly tresses that need to be brushed* It's longer than any daring wannabe-punk preppy BOY is willing to go. And these? *takes off jacket and indicates body* Yeah, most guys don't have these. Not even overweight ones. Get your eyes checked. Just wanted to say.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH I've been overcome with "Eragon" obsession.
Sure, I just had a lively conversation with Emmalee (my cousin on my mom's side, the REAL Emily #1) about Christopher Paolini and how bad he is [at writing], but reading "Eragon" again, I really do like it, even if his writing is inconsistent (First it was okay, then it was pretty good, then it was okay again, and then it was really bad.) and his best character is greatly ignored (*sigh*), but I still like his stuff. It's the best fantasy I've read in a LONG time (that's been published recently, anways. C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien could take Chris, despite the height difference?) and it's great for a fan culter like me who loves melodrama and hot guys. AND fantasy. But I was reading stuff about the upcoming THIRD book and I think the new rider is either Nasuada or Arya, but Rorin is also a possibilty, which STINKS cuz I hate him. I really do. He gets on my nerves more than Eragon. Murtagh must not die. Eragon better hook up with Arya, NOT Nasuada, because she has the hots for Murtagh, and they all lived happily ever after. And Saphira's not old enough to have a boyfriend, so that's no for her.

Only one more day. :(

That title pretty much says it all.
But anyways.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I went to the neighbor's yesterday and she has A PUG PUPPY NAMED PRECIOUS!! *tears up* *sniff* So CUTE! Her mom was nice (the puppy's mom), too, but she wasn't as cute as PRECIOUS!!!
I'm a sucker for both puppies and pugs.
Then she came over this morning and played with Spencer (also a dog), who totally owned her, but was nice about it, even when she started biting his lip (and I'm pretty sure she broke the skin). But seriously. SHE'S SO CUTE!!! I want a pug puppy REALLY BAD now.
ACtually, I've always wanted a puppy, and my parents said we could GET ONE once we got our own house (and that was HOW LONG AGO?), then conveniently forgot this little tidbit of information. "I never said that. I said we could get a big dog." Whatever. You said puppy. And what's with this blasted country music?
I HATE COUNTRY!!!!!
MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!
"If there's a hot angel in heaven, she be my wife, cuz I'm boozin in the country with my redneck friends!!"
I'd rather listen to Dizmas.
ABout the puppy: I'm trying to garner one as a combined Christmas/birthday present, but no such luck. :( I'm pretty sure I'm getting either "Over the Hedge" or a Queen Amidala doll, thanks to their foolish hints.
Hair: Basically, I'm never going to dye my hair. At least, not all of it. It sucks, but it's not a bad idea: I just dye one section of my hair. Pink and blue are my favorite options right now. If I were a techie, I'd set up some poll so the 5 people that actually read this blog could vote.
Actually, go ahead and vote. Cuz I really would like to know.
Even tho I'm LEANING towards pink.
AMERICAN DRAGON: JAKE LONG BEST SHOW EVER!
I felt for Jake during the siblings episode. Especially because he got showed up by his YOUNGER sibling. That. Would. SUCK.
Sims 2 on Nintendo DS is great. I am addicted. Alas, I shall play...no more.
I wanted to make a HSM Mixed-up Mashed-up video, but I'll wait till I get home. This internet is fast, but weird.

I'm SINGING. I'm in a store and I'm singing. I'm in a store AND I'M SINGING.

I have been in four different states in the past two days. Right now I'm in South Carolina and surprisingly LOVING IT. Except everyone's WAY racist. But they don't really bring that up...much.
But yeah.
I'M FINALLY IN SOUTH CAROLINA!!
It's not that bad. Oddly enough, I actually feel at home here. No culture shock, no nothing. The south RULES. I wanna move to Alabama CARAZY bad. Even tho I haven't been there yet. But we're staying in Georgia right now, which is just a state away. It SUCKS,tho, cuz there's this 3+ hour drive from my grandparent's house to the airport. AAAAAGH! I was in the car for like 2 hours and was ready to commit suicide. Okay, I know sleeping people can't really help it if they fall asleep on you, but COME ON. People TOUCHING me is just...not cool. AT ALL. So I ended up elbowing the sleeping person in the head like 20 times. ON PURPOSE. Not my fault.
AAAAAAAAAGH my digestion is soooooo messed urp. Yes, urp. AAAAAAAARGH I can't freaking scroll. But digestion. Cuz I know you REALLY want to know about that.
Try cheese, bacon, ranch fries from Checkers. And a Checkerburger. And a shake. And a bite of burger (that I fed to Spencer later; he liked it very much; he's a dog by the way). And two things of Gatorade. And yogurt. And a Rice Krispies Treat. Yeah. Try AWESOME. I'm going to gain like 20 pounds by the time I come home on Monday. But right now I'm having a blast. But it's getting late (whatever, it's only 8:47 P.M., but it's called "jet-lag" and "relative overdose") and I want to go the hotel at watch Starz.
I have to stop Grandpa from feeding Lady. She might be cute, but she is the FATTEST rat terrier I have ever seen. It's kind of disgusting. She keeps growling at Spencer.
OOOOH I played the wii for the first time. Well, I didn't play it, but I watched my brothers play it for like half an hour.
AAAAAAAAAAGH GARRETT HEDLUND!!!!
That is all.

A post in which the author vents hatefully at her parents and their sucky dark-haired parents

I. Am. Pretty. Much. More. Than. Ticked.
I'm sure you really don't want to hear about how mad I am and how this Christmas sucks.
But I am and it does, so if you really don't care, you don't have to read this.


So I got "Lego Star Wars II" from Nathan for Christmas. It was for both me and William, but it's realy cool, even tho I'm stuck on that one level. And I opened my present from Braeden early, which was chocolate (coffee, fruit, and nut flavors, but whatever) and "Monster House" (fun...) but whatever.
But the present I was most looking forward to was dying my freaking hair purple.
Scratch that idea, cuz it ain't happening.
And it's because my hair's so freaking dark that I can't freaking touch it without damaging it.
So if I were EVER to dye my hair, which would be, um, NEVER, seeing as it would be better just to chop it all off, I could dye it RED or something, but not PURPLE.
Hello.
I'm the person who always goes off on how dumb the color red is.
I personally think red is a stupid color and to have my hair be red would be torture.
I am just REALLY freaking mad right now. It's not even that big a deal.
Tomorrow or something I'm going to read this and be like, "Hm, I sure need to get anger management, because violence is not the answer. Maybe I should cry like normal girls, since everyone thinks I'm a lesbian anyway!"
Or something like that.
But I'd like to get it out before it bottles up and I happen to kill somebody in a violent and disturbing way. Like that guy in "Queen of Everything".
Maybe since this didn't work out, I'll get an ipod.
Nope, didn't help.
AND I'm going to South Carolina tomorrow, which I was totally OKAY about doing, since I got to go on a plane and we're going to be in a hotel HALF THE TIME ANYWAYS, but now with this little "complication" everything sucks.
There are two types of frustration: the kind where you break down crying and the kind where you just get mad.
I usually fall into the latter group.
And people in the former tick me off.
This is starting to make sense now...

Hellooooooo sexy...

RIP OFF YOUR SHIRT! DO IT NOW!!!!!

OMG GARRETT HELUND IS EXACTLY 22!!!!!! Okay, not exactly. BUT HE'S 22. I WAS JUST JOKING!!!!
Agh.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA "Eragon" is a great movie.
Oh. I didn't know it wasn't supposed to be a comedy.
*silently trying not to laugh*
*snicker* BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
I mean, don't get me wrong, I love going to the movies. I mean, come on, there's:
1. Previews
2. Popcorn
3. Candy
4. Soda
5. Comfy seats (sometimes)
6. Two hours of cinematic delight (no matter HOW dumb the movie is, you can laugh it up with your friend(s)/date/spouse/family/imaginary friend/dog/annoyed person sitting next to you.)
Aaaaah, how I love the theater.
But anyways.
HEHEHE okay I'll stop. At first, it kind of made me mad, because even tho Paolini's "Eragon" novel is no literary sensation (he wrote it when he was 14...that doesn't make it GOOD) and not really worth anyone's time (okay, not true, it's a pretty good fantasy attempt, but there are MUCH better authors. No, I was not about to J. K. Rowling as one of them, stop glaring at me.), but the least the scriptwriters could've done was STAY TRUE TO THE BOOK. They cut out some VERY important characters, such as Katrina (she doesn't do squat, but she's the whole reason Rorin leaves and comes back and such) and Angela (okay, yeah, there was that stupid Joss Stone cameo, but it SUCKED, and she was only in one scene. Joss Stone might have soul, but she don't got any acting skills.), and just...STUFF. The plot was all messed up, and it was just...NOT COOL, OKAY. NOT COOL AT ALL.
The only good actors were Jeremy Irons (Brom, AAAAND one of my favorite actors. Kind of. I like "Lion King". A lot. And he was a very good Scar.), Rachel Weisz (Saphira: she has a really good voice and did Saphira perfectly), and Garrett Hedlund (HOT: he portrayed the angst-ridden Murtagh very well. "I SUGGEST YOU LEAVE QUICKLY!" "Anything you say... *sighs dreamily*")
But there were funny parts. "I WON'T LET YOU DIE. I NEED YOU." "No, Eragon, I've always needed you. You turned my life around." Me: *snicker* "*really flat voice* I suffer without my stone. Don't prolong my suffering." Me: *guffawing* "I will wait for tomorrow." Me: *ROFL!!!*
I think the parts that most angered me were Joss Stone as a CRAPPY ANGELA and the Razac. WTH? They were ninjas covered in bugs. HELLO? THESE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SCARY! And then a good portion of the book was based on Eragon's obsession with these creatures and his longing for their blood. Not so in the movie. The Razac are killed in like two minutes by Brom, who was supposed to DIE in that part! And the Urgals? The director casted a bunch of big fat guys and painted stripes on their face. OMGEEZ WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? AAAAGH I HATE YOU ALL.
The most unfair part: They discover Murtagh's identity (rather quickly, and just by looking at him), AND HE DOESN'T TAKE HIS SHIRT OFF!!! Okay, I read the book, and he just RIPS that baby off. But there wasn't a big scar or anything. He just pulled it up a little and there's a baby scar and a little bit of abs. he actually wasn't that buff. And somehow Ed Speleers had a six pack? AND HE GOT SHOWN BATHING!!! WHAT ABOUT MURTAGH??? AAAARGH!
Meep. Snorg. That was good Diet Coke. I want another cheeseburger.

"I'm Moody." "Yes you are."

That was from show I've only seen once that was on late 90's-early 200's ish? Only it made sense cuz the girl's name was Moody.
I WANT PURPLE HAIR!
I guess I'm obsessing, but BOTH my parents gave the okay, and NOW they won't do it?
WHAT?
They're all, "Oh, there probably won't be an opening till after our trip." "Did you CHECK?" "No, but if there is one, we can take it." "CALL HER." "I will." *18 hours later, STILL HASN'T CALLED HER!!!!* AAAAAARGH, I HATE PEOPLE WHO DO THIS.
I mean, it's different if they FORGET to do it or something, but I keep reminding her EVERY FIVE SECONDS. SHE JUST WON'T DO IT. WTH???? THIS IS LIKE THE ONLY CHRISTMAS PRESENT I'M GETTING AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET IT BEFORE NEXT CHRISTMAS!
Oh yes, I am mad.
South Carolina: I can't not go. DANG. My parents are all, "We're treating this like a missions trip." Yeah, I know none of my relatives on my dad's side are Christian and they're all GWB haters (only we're not trying to make them go all rightist...just to spread the love of Christ. I KEEP FORGETTING THAT.), but that doesn't really make me feel any better. Yes, I'm drowning in self-pity. It feels good at the present, don't you freak out on me, too.
THE "OFFICE" WAS AMAZING!! Funny, anyways. "I heard Angela's party has double fudge brownies. It will also have Angela. *pretending to weigh two things* Double fudge...Angela...double fudge...Angela...double fudge...Angela..." And then Michael's rebound girl was Asian and he couldn't tell her apart from her friend. Racist...but funny? My sense of humor is pretty horrible.
JIM ADMITTED THAT HE WANTS PAM!!!!! MWAHAHAHA! Ha. Ha. Ha.
Do de do de do. I love this shirt. And this hat. Do de do de do. Dad stole my Dizmas CD. Do de do de do. I'M SOAPING AGAIN. Sometime other than now.
Kaitlyn had a party last night. 'Twas cool. COLDSTONE CAKE!!!!
Hm hm hm. I didn't get a gift. I'm going to spread my self-pity wallowing to EVERYONE! *cuts to "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year"*
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
There'll be Frodo and Samwise and Gaffer, he's not wise, and Leggie, we FEAR.
It's the most wonderful time of the year.

Chariots of Fire

AAAAAAAAGH I was so tired during PE. AND we had a twelve minute run. Which I usually like. *gasp* *choke* I still got 17, tho. But I was going really slow. Actually, I'm always slow, so there wasn't much difference. Oh well. I guess I'm a sprinter, not an endurance runner. Or maybe I'm not cut out for running.
Heh heh heh.
Basketball, here I come.
Yeah.
Where is that darn e-mail?
ROFL, "House" REALLY FUNNY. The book, not the show.
BUT COME ON!
I really expected better of Frank Peretti, I really did.
But it's SO FUNNY.
"Eat the cereal! Eat it! it will make you STRONG! EAT THE CEREAL! EAT IT!"
Hardy har har.
THE COOKIES ARE GREEN! Actually, I was going for turquoise, but oh well. WHY WON'T THEY GET ROOM TEMPERATURE? BECOME ROOM TEMPERATURE ALREADY!
I'm pretty sure I get to dye my hair this week.
EEEEEEEEEE!!!!
I'm so excited.
And I'm pretty sure I'm getting my new glasses soon. But they haven't come yet. >:(
Let's see if Stanley is winning... Please let Stanley win... If not him, then Creed Bratton or Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration. Come on... Argh, slow computer.
I haven't played Sims in...pretty much forever. *GASP* Meow. I've been too busy on Diner Dash (2, to be exact). I CAN'T BEAT THAT GAME. *heavy breathing*
My boys (my boys, MY BOYS), talking bout myyyyy boooooys, MY BOYS.
Apparently Cole plays the mean kid and Dylan plays the nice kid on "Holidaze". aaaah, forget it. They will always be Zack and Cody to me. That's what happens when you sign a contract with Disney: You're in it for LIFE.

Oh...my aunt was one of those.

AAAAAAAAAAAH "HOLIDAZE" = MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS MOVIE!
AND IT'S CLAYMATION!!!!
Well kind of.
....
AND THE KIDS WHO PLAY ZACK AND CODY ARE IN IT!
Memorable quotes:
"I am a thespian." "Oooh...my aunt was one of those."
"And my homemade Cambell's Chicken...OOPS...I mean, my homemade chicken and stars."
"I wonder if they know I'm gone..." *at North Pole* *waves at dummy* "Hi Rusty!" "Nope. They don't."
ROFL.
Gladys Knight is in it.
AND BRENDA SONG AND EMILY OSMENT!! YAAAAAAAAR THEY MUST DIE!
Emily Osment plays this goth "bad girl" ghost. Hard to believe, seeing as she's a preppy blonde HANNAH MONTANA LOSER!!!!!
Hmmmm, hypocriticalish, seeing as I'm trying to pull of the whole "punk" thing (NOT WORKING, exactly. Dylan thinks I'm emo, which is like, a compliment). I AM DYEING MY HAIR PURPLE. *gasp* I'M SO PUMPED.
Punked. Whatever.
Okay, gotta get it through my head. Ahem: STALKING IS NOT OKAY. Now repeat 10 times fast.
Just PLEASE ask how I am DOING or something and MAYBE I'll leave you alone. "Gee, Lauren, how are you?" *Um, I think your brother was checking me out in all his emo glory. He's not that bad, tho. I guess he's pretty nice. He has my 2nd period class during 3rd period* "Um...great." *Has anyone ever told you you have great hair?*

I wish I could dance like Shakira

I AM TOTALLY UPDATING MY AMAZON WISHLIST! BOOYA BABY! Not like anyone's going to buy me anything. My relatives figure since I won't even be in the same STATE as them for Christmas, they can just give me gift cards. I DON'T THINK SO. I REALLY want that Queen Amidala doll. With the deluxe hair. *glares at snickering Amazon customers* WHAT? SHE'S MY ROLE MODEL! I mean, who wouldn't want to be a queen at 14? AND kick butt with a blaster? AND have guys hit on you? (even if they were like...10) AND have great hair?
Wow. I actually have a lot of role models.

1. Robin - cuz he's awesome like that. And he assists Batman with little witticisms that go unnoticed by most "Batman" lovers.
2. Shakira - I wish I could dance like her.
3. Beyonce - I wish I could sing/LOOK like her.
4. Gwen Stefani - Dyes her hair all the time.
5. Queen Amidala - ALL THE REASONS I JUST LISTED.

AAAAAAAAGH I really want a Chronicles of Narnia action figure. But just ONE of the children is $20. I don't know, I LIKE EDMUND, HE'S COOL. Better than Susan (lame) and Peter (lamer and not hot). Lucy is apparently only 8 or so in the first book, according to C. S. Lewis. NOT EVEN JOKING, Peter was like 13 in "LWW", Susan was 12, Edmund was 10. And then, in "Prince Caspian", they all gain one year. And I'd pictured Peter some buff brave knight and Susan a "mature" teenager. OH NO. And Digory and Polly were like...10. WEIRDED OUT.
So Mr. Johnson is apparently no longer mad?
Huh.
Okaaaaay...
PIZZA IS GOOOOOD.
AND STANLEY IS WINNING "THE AMAZING RACE OFFICE EDITION 2.0"!!!!! HALLELUJAH!

And I so hate consequences

Dang.
I made somebody mad at me today.
I guess they have a right to be, cuz I was being dumb. But seriously.
I also I guess I deserved the abrupt tongue lashing in front of everyone, too.
Still. It sucks. Maybe it'll blow over by tomorrow. But even if it does, that person will be all happy and I will mull over this all flipping day, then get depressed tomorrow.
LIKE ALWAYS.
My mom says I take things too personally.
Which explains a LOT, by the way, like why I overreacted:
a. This summer
b. Novemberish when I read that stupid, STUPID "FWO" book
c. That time in 4th grade
d. ALL THE TIME
My life stinks.
But moving on (Ooooh, baloney).
Let's see how my Office peeps are doing. *scrolls page* I am hoping Stanley is safe. *looks around, clicking on links* WHERE IS IT? WHERE'S MY BOARD? WHERE WHERE WHERE WHERE? AAAAAAAH! WHERE WHERE WHERE WHERE phew. There it is. *scrolls down* They better not have deleted Stanley. *waits for it to load* NO, YOU FOOL, GO TO THE NEST, THE NEST! *keeps waiting* Snorg. *dodedodedodedodedo* If you care, I won't be soaping for a while. I've moved on to bigger and better things...such as a writing project where I'm actually trying and not just writing crap for the heck of it cuz I thought it would be tres amusing in August. OW, this ponytail is tight. I hope I didn't give Jessica the wrong one. That other was stretched. *beat* Oops. HAHAHAHA OSCAR HAS BEEN ELIMINATED! YES! WOOOO!

My hero

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh no. I have to BABYSIT TONIGHT.
Which would be FINE if I weren't such a SUCKY BABYSITTER.
Aaaaaaaand the kid is pretty evil.
I guess I could've said no to the job when it was first offered to me, but they phrased it as, "WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO BABYSIT HIM AND HIS SISTER?" Not "COULD YOU", but "WOULD YOU". So if I'd said no, it's like, "No, I'm not willing to babysit your kids, LEAVE ME ALONE!"
Grrrr.
And no one can help me.
I have no friends that I'd be willing to sacrifice to the lil monster.
My mom has a broken ankle.
Bible study is AN HOUR AND A HALF.
I'm so screwed.
"Aaaaaaare you embarassed?" Um...YES.
Amanda: "I don't even know him. Do you know him? Well, I know him, but I don't KNOW him."
Me: "Wow...we're kind of talking about him behind his back...literally."
Kid: *shifts uncomfortably*
Amanda: *turns to Maya* We're talking about you in front of your chest.
Maya: ?
Yeah.

The LAME House

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
I spent TWO hours of my day watching "The Lake House".
OMGEEEEEEEEZ!!!!!!!
It was so DUMB.
I mean, the IDEA was good. But the way it panned out was NOT good.
Only I can't really say anything in case someone who hasn't seen the movie but REALLY wants to reads this and sees the ending and the rest of their day is ruined and it's my fault and I will feel a pang in my side for hurting that person and bad karma and such.
That is, if karma was real and I believed in karma.
Darn.
But I will say one thing: Something that happened in the beginning only explains ONE THING IN THE END. AND YOU HAVE TO WAIT TWO HOURS TO FIGURE IT OUT.
Only Nathan figured it out in like two seconds, so we waited for two hours for the "plot twists" my mom had said were in it.
She gives him a book from the future.
Pretty twisty.
Natalie Portman and Hayden Christiansen are the perfect couple.
Cuz they're both horrible actors.
I saw "Episode III". They're pretty bad.
"I have the higher ground."
"YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY POWER!!!!!!!"
*earlier*
"Hold me. Like you did on Naboo when there was nothing but our love..."
Eh?
What losers...
ONLY TWO DAYS OF SCHOOL THIS WEEK. YEAYAAAAAAAAAAAA!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Hm, that's a lot of options.
*checks to see if the Idiot Test 2 is out or if The Amazing Race Office Version 2.0 has been updated*
