Robots are just as sympathetic

Have you ever wondered what one should do to acquire a shopping cart? How much do they cost? If you weren't going to steal one or pull one out of a dump, could you walk into a grocery store and ask for one? Or would you have to buy it? "Yes, well, I need a shopping cart to put all my personal belongings in."
My new coat looks like a trenchcoat. I look like Carmen Sandiego, only not as hot. I think everyone had a secret crush on Carmen. If they didn't, why would they spend so much looking for her?
Homeless people make me sad. Not, "Oh, wow, that's depressing, I'll go buy a coffee and sip melancholy-like", or, "Those pathetic losers, spending all their money on cigs," sad. A woman came up to me today sobbing because she didn't have any pads. She wanted $5 to go buy some and I FROZE.
Then I started to cry.
The ones with the shopping carts are so stoic, too, like, "Yeah, that's life." Some have dogs that look up dolefully at you, like, "Sure, it sucks, but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else."
I saw one a couple months ago who was holding a sign that said, "Anything helps, even a smile." It was weird and kind of touching to see an optimist who saw cheapskates walking by, smiling guiltily, and smiled back at them because anything DID help.
I only gave that woman a couple of cents.
I had a 5 dollar bill in my pocket.

Black Friday

12:36 PM: Mom spies an ad for $50 peacoats at J. C. Penny.
12:37 PM: Mom looks at the clock and realizes the sale ends in 20 minutes.
12:39 PM: Dad and Lauren hastily put on shoes and jackets.
12:42 PM: Dad starts the car and speeds over to the mall.
12:50 PM: Lauren and Dad sprint from their poorly chosen parking space to the store.
12:53 PM: The two arrive inside.
12:54 PM: The two, both major introverts, argue over who should ask the customer service lady where the coats are.
12:56 PM: Dad finds the coats and starts throwing some at Lauren.
12:58 PM: Lauren finds a cute one and they head to the cashier.
12:59 PM: They take their place in line.
1:01 PM: The cashier lady takes the coat and insists the sale is still going on.
1:02 PM: Cashier lady rings up total: $87.00.
1:03 PM: Dad hyperventilates.

That was the extent of my Friday shopping. We ended up getting the coat, though.
Turns out we were looking in the wrong place. But the one we got was cuter...and more expensive.
Wow. I love my dad.
This is my 1000th post. 3 years and 1 week ago, I started posting.
That's a little disturbing when you think about it.
Hopefully I've come a long ways since then.
*shudder* 7th grade.

Another metaphor gone horribly wrong

Yes, the Eye of Sauron was actually an EYE, but it was also a metaphor of his supreme evil omnipotence.
Sauron himself was NOT a giant ball of flame. Why would you want to pair yourself up with an overlarge body part? And how does an eye control the minds of Orcs and wizards alike? Doesn't make sense.
Curse you, Peter Jackson.
No wonder they wouldn't let you make "The Hobbit".
You'll see...or you'll pack!
My Thanksgiving wasn't bad. The turkey was great and there was much whipped cream. My great-uncle made a ginormous peanut butter pie, but wouldn't eat any.
My siblings and I are always going to be responsible for child care, which sucks, but whatever.
It's not like I don't like taking care of my cousins; it just seems unfair that none of the other older cousins have had this same responsibility. And now the great-grandkids are coming in droves and we'll probably have to take care of them, too.
It'll be like a little baby menagerie.
Actually, so far, there's only one great-grandkid, and we never see him.
William Sleator, I despise thee.
Award-winning author, my foot.

Proof that welfare is a bad idea

Aaaaargh. I hate my friends' parents SOOOO much. Or rather, parent. Two of my good friends have PSYCHO single moms and they're complete hormonal b*tches.
We were all set to go the movies and my friend's mom was like, "Oh yeah, I forgot, you can't go."
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!
Apparently crushing people's dreams is a favorite pasttime of hers?
Ugh.
She's lucky she didn't go, though. "Twilight" was terrible.
Terrible in a relatively entertaining way, but still terrible.
Jacob was Sharkboy in "Sharkboy and LavaGirl".
Edward was Cedric Diggory in "The Goblet of Fire".
Everything was weird and wet and lame, just like Washington itself.
Mike Newton was adorable and freckly.
Emmett was BEAUTIFUL.
His girlfriend was creepy.
Alice is just as controlling as Edward.
Jasper's creepy.
Heh heh. Charlie.
Ugh. Psycho single moms.
And they complain so. "You don't do this. You're doing this wrong."
Um, maybe, if you got off your butt and did it YOURSELF, it would get done "right".

Which Lord of the Rings Character Are You?
	You are part Aragorn. You are a born leader! Not only that, but you are also a good fighter. You are the one usually put in charge of things and you aren't afraid to do it.
	You are part Frodo. You're a bit of a wimp...but, if you must do something, you will overcome fears to do it. Even so, you are a caring person who likes to have friends. You don't look or think like you were born for greatness...but you never know!

Yeah...how does that even work??

Wicked, tricksy, false!

You Are a Siamese Cat

You are a very communicative creature. You're eager to express yourself - and do so often. You are very dependent and love attention. You will complain if you are not getting enough affection. Even though you are very loving, you can seem aloof, unpredictable, and stubborn in relationships. A relationship with you takes a lot of patience.

What Breed of Cat Are You?

Mrs. Hamblet would agree.
Double dibs did nothing to help us.
She put us in groups for the McMush lab. My group was all right. At least we got everything done.
"Kung Fu Panda" is so amazing. Po is my role model. Angelina Jolie is not.

You Are a Pilgrim

Like the pilgrims, you've felt persecuted for your beliefs from time to time. You have a strong sense of right and wrong. Your morality sometimes makes you feel out of step with the modern world. You may not go as far as moving across the world, but you still identify with the pilgrims. Well, except for the whole stealing land and killing Indians thing.

Are You a Pilgrim or an Indian?

You can't have a Sensor doing this job.

I love "The Lord of the Rings", I really do, and I've started watching the films one part at a time (as of last night).
They're actually very well done, and it was a huge undertaking and no one could have done it perfectly, but there are some things that I take serious issue with.
The acting and casting is great for the most part, except regarding Sam and Frodo. Last time I checked, Frodo wasn't a girl. Elijah Woods is one of the wimpiest, most effeminate actors they could have chosen. Frodo, in the book, was a bit wimpy once the power of the Ring grew stronger, but that had a lot to do with his age, not because he was a grade-A wimp. And Sean Astin is either yelling or crying in every scene.
A lot of stuff from the book was left out of the movie. Some of it wasn't exactly necessary for the plot to make sense (Tom Bombadil, Eowyn and Farimir, etc.), but when they cut out the Reckoning of the Shire, I started bawling my eyes out.
And if you're going to leave out stuff, you're not allowed to CHANGE or ADD stuff.
Several important examples:
Exhibit A: Theoden was NOT possessed by Saruman! He'd been lied to by Wormtongue and deluded into thinking the wrong thing, but he wasn't literally "possessed". Way to get this movie banned by Christian groups, Peter Jackson. Well, it probably wasn't banned by Christian groups (unlike Harry Potter), but you can bet Plugged In had a lot to say about it.
Exhibit B: I didn't mind this part so much, and "The Two Towers" didn't have a LOT of usable plot material, but the whole "Oh no, Aragorn is dead"? Thanks, Peter, it added tension, but you could have instead included the gigantic Warg fight on top of the mountain from the Fellowship instead. Because OF COURSE ARAGORN ISN'T GOING TO DIE IN THE SECOND MOVIE!
Exhibit C: I sort of understand this one better after reading a little bit about it, but they made Farimir out to be sort of a jerk, when he wasn't. And he shouldn't have taken them to Osgiliath. But, then again, Peter Jackson didn't really have much to do after deciding to save Shelob for the third movie. It just put sort of a negative light on Farimir, though he was redeemed and you could start feeling sorry for him again in the third movie.
Exhibit D: The moving death of Haldir. It confuses the little ones.

And that's about it. Surprisingly, "The Two Towers" might just be my favorite of the movies (not of the books, though). Liv Tyler kind of grosses me out, though - "The Fellowship of the Ring" is a close second.

Some things are disgusting, but they have to be done

Like hocking up giant yellow lugies.
Gross? Maybe.
Satisfying? You betcha.
Yeah, I'm sick.
So I missed one of 4 half days.
Dang it.
1 and a half stars! Ha! Stephenie Meyer, I laugh at thee.
So I had a very interesting night last night:
Alexis called at about 5:00 and asked if I needed a ride.
She'd asked me if I was "going tonight" in advisory and I assumed she had meant the Jazz Night.
Apparently SHE'D been referring to Youth Group.
So she picks me up and we're halfway to the church when I realize we're NOT headed to the high school.
Yeah, it took me that long.
So her mom dropped Alexis off at youth group and then drove me to the high school.
And I sat alone.
The concert wasn't bad, though. The Navy band played, and my dad had a heart attack when I told him.
I mean, why would he go to play rehearsal when there was a NAVY BAND CONCERT he could've gone to??
Too bad none of us knew that Navy Band was coming.
Well, not none of us. Probably just me.
Yeaaaah, stocking up on junk food!! Yeaaaah!

Cupcakes? Muffins? Aren't they the same thing?

No, actually, they're not.
Cupcakes are infinitely superior.

What Your Cupcake Says About You

At parties, you are easily excitable. It's like you have a whole different personality at parties! You hardly have any restraint. You only hold yourself back when absolutely necessary. The most important thing in your life is you, obviously. You are laid back, flexible, and easy to get along with. To know you is to care for you.

You Are 60% Ready to Be a Parent

You are mostly ready to be a parent, though you could be better prepared. If you had a kid tomorrow, things might be difficult at first - but you could pull through. You don't have to be an ideal parent, but if your life was in better order, it would help. Make yourself a plan of how you'll raise and pay for a kid. You'll feel better if you have all your ducks in a row. If you're already a parent, you're probably doing a good job. Even if things aren't perfect, you're making the best of it.

Are You Ready to Be a Parent?

Don't you hate thinking up brilliant things just as you're starting to fall asleep?
Then that wonderous thought disappears into your subconcious and you NEVER remember it.
NEVER!!
The choir concert last night wasn't bad.
It would be sort of biased to say our school did best.
But we definitely did better than Klahowya.
Kristine is so fantabulous.
Swimming in the pool was actually pretty fun. My swimsiut from 7th grade still fits me perfectly. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Mr. Freeman actually gave us half an hour to mess around.
And then stripping in the locker room afterwards wasn't nearly as traumatizing as it was in 7th grade. Girls were just walking around half-dressed or naked by the swimsuit dryer.
Ha ha, Sarah. Whenever the teacher asks us a question, we'll howl instead. And jingles will scare me for the rest of my life.
Poor Kris. He was really bummed yesterday and today he was trying to act like he was okay. It's really sad.

Nasty people shouldn't be teachers

Hopefully Mr. Rosendale thought nothing of what happened at lunch.
Let's just say I found my carrots RIGHT where I left them.
Keeps 'em guessing.
Tyler is considering switching with me.
The evil psycho lady is making us wait, however.
Something about how we'll fail at life if we switch now.
It's like she's angry ALL THE TIME.
Maybe she had a bad experience with teenagers when she was a child.
Still, you wonder WHY that would cause her to choose to work at a HIGH SCHOOL, for crying out loud.

What This Outfit Says About You

You are a very adorable person. You have a sweet personality... and a sweet style. You are quite easygoing and flexible. You could never be accused of being high maintenance. You tend to wear whatever is comfortable but still chic. You definitely don't buy into the idea that fashion is pain. Your high end fashion designer match: Versace Your must have accessory: A simple chain bracelet

The Outfit Test

Really? Adorable?
Somehow I doubt that.
Ha ha ha ha.
I don't know why Jake laughs so often. The dirty M&M's really aren't that funny.
Then again, he is only 2.
The twins turned 4 two days ago, and we celebrated their birthdays yesterday. A lot of the attention was stolen by Riley, though, who is altogether adorable. Braeden was a good sport and has somehow gotten really, really tall. Guess she takes after her mom?
Oh, those Indians.
Slurpee, not casino.
Sadly, that is the distinction I make between the two groups.
It's stayed with me since 8th grade.
If the Indian people say it, and the other minorities say it, can white people say it?
I believe the answer is a resounding "no".

Rawr, I'm the Kraken!

Hmmm, I'm seeing a pattern.
People are odd.
Or rather, the GHOSTS of people.
That makes me miss Nathan. He's visiting for Thanksgiving!
Nathan: gHoOoOoOoOoOsTs!!!!
And so is Marie!!!
She doesn't yell "gHoOoOoOoOoSts" very often, though.
Pastor Barry is starting in Titus and preached about the qualities of a pastor. He spent a little bit of timing emphasizing the woman's role in the church, and how women should not be pastors.
It's weird that this is such a gray area when it's explicitly stated in the Bible that women should have not have a leadership role in spiritual matters in the church.
Some people walked out. Poor Pastor Barry.
Two random people stayed at our house last night. They were part of a traveling singing group that's going to be in our area for a while and they needed housing. It was kind of weird, but they were nice and weren't even here for long. One was from Tennessee, and the other from Alaska. She can see Russians from her backyard.
That's a Sarah Palin joke.
Which you probably all know.
Ooh, that Sarah Palin.
It's weird seeing people you grew up with mature and become a totally different person (not always in a bad way).
Robert came to our concert on Thursday and his voice has changed and he's at least 2 inches taller than me.
Oh yeah, and he's shaving.
People I used to hang out with all the time in junior high aren't exactly my friends anymore, and some people I used to know aren't even in the same country now.
Was there a massive Change Tornado I was unaware of?
Apparently.
Tie resists change. And she's needy.
And she crawled into bed with me at 6:00 because it was cold.
So she lay in the middle and spread out, forcing me to huddle near the wall.
Good practice for marriage, I guess.
Which would sound perverted if you hadn't read all of the above content.
Would you all like to toast metaphorically with me? Here's an imaginary champagne glass (it's okay even if you don't drink: there are no imaginary drinking laws).
Here's to switching out of history!!

Wasn't this the point last year that it all started sucking?

Might have been earlier.
I considered being in a "deep" and "contemplative" mood today, but what would be the point?
Even if I was feeling deep and contemplative, would it just be to prove a point?
Because the stuff I'm thinking about could give the wrong impression.
Might as well just say it: We left OEFC more than a year ago, but it seems like in the past week we've run into a lot more people from that church than we have all year.
And it's weird talking to them, because our lives are so completely seperate now and without OEFC, we have little in common.
And it seems like, I don't know, they resent us for some reason. Or that's me being paranoid.
So yeah, it's weird. We were there for a LONG time.
But now we're at a new, thriving church and we've made connections there, and most of the ones from OEFC are pretty much dead, so it's really not so bad.
Just...minorly uncomfortable.
And I know, Matt, that you are going to think that was directed at you and possibly take offense or read too much into it, but it's not. You're just a small factor in the huge equation.
Ha, math speak.
Actually, that made no sense.
That's enough for today. My brain is starting to hurt.
Pretty intense Sims session, though. Twins. Who would've thought? Two little boys. One looks just like his mom, the other like his dad. They're named Remus and Romulus. I know. That's me trying to be funny.
My dad's worried I might have a secret double life in the Sims, that I'm creating Sims of me and my family and friends and am doing "evil" things with them.
It's something Laura Ingraham told him.
I actually considered doing that for a time. It's only slightly creepy. Does that mean I need help?

You Are the Tree Pose

You are a well grounded, down to earth person. Not much shakes you. You can remain steady through a crisis - and other people lean on you. You have high standards and morals. You easily rise above pettiness. While people sometimes accuse you of being stubborn, you are able to shift focus when you need to.

You Are a Blueberry Muffin

You are a nurturing, domestic, homey person. Of all the types, you are the most likely to make your own muffins at home. You don't like to rock the boat, and you're most content when you're making everyone else happy. You are very loyal. You'll defend your family and friends, even if you secretly disapprove of what they're doing. You tend to be a bit shy and withdrawn. You don't make friends quickly or easily. But once you do make a good friend, the chances are high that you'll be friends for life.

Would it still smell gross if I was alive?

We just started "Night" in English class.
The narrator concludes that God is dead after watching children burn in the ovens.

It's pretty heartwrenching.
Some people are really cool, but they never talk!!
THE BOYS ARE BACK, THE BOYS ARE BACK!!

My friend and I spent a whole weekend thinking one was mad at the other.
Seems like everyone's full of lies these days.
I got my ASVAB results back!
I'm in the 99th percentile in my class for verbal and math scores, but only in the 80th percentile for science.
Then, in the packet they gave us, we had to fill out a survey of activities we'd like to do.
I'd rather write a musical than fix a leaky faucet.
Surprisingly, I scored in the 96th percentile for Social careers.
So, with high verbal and math scores, I should be a secondary English teacher.
That made me kind of excited.

What Your Height Says About You

You are a true adventurer, and you live for the thrill. You have a lot of charisma, and you're good at convincing people to join you in your schemes. You are open to the world, and you make connections easily. You have lots of friends. You are likely to have many life paths to choose from. There are many possibilities open to you. You are about as tall as the average British man.

Dying for your country did nothing for capitalism

People must really hate Veteran's Day. My mom and I went to check out the "big sales" at the mall, and they weren't all that spectacular.
J.C. Penny had this whole thing of, "Buy 1 item for full price and get the second for a dollar!"
So if I buy a pair of $50 jeans, I can get another pair almost for free.
Too bad $50 is way more than I would ever spend on jeans.
And then the lingerie department was like, "10% off all bras!!"
Great. So a $10 bra becomes $9 and a $40 bra becomes $36.
Ooooh, wonderful savings.
Sierra stole Frederick Minut.
She won't give him back.
Amanda's party was pretty intense. Sarah Palin had to save the world from Madam Narcolepsy, and Barack Obama raised taxes, thereby defeating Tentaclewoman.
I ended up with dalmatian gloves, 4 glass rings, and Lola the Stripper Fairy doll.

You Are Scrabble

You are incredibly clever and witty. You can talk your way out of (and into) situations easily. You are an excellent decision maker. You are good at weighing the options in front of you. You're the type of person who can make something out of nothing. You are very resourceful. You know a lot of things. Most importantly, you know when people are wrong - even when they won't admit it.

Yeaaaaah, I cut 6 inches of hair off.

But yeah, it's cute.
My mom got bangs, because she had to abide by our agreement.
Hmmm, why am I suspicious?

You Are a Corn Muffin

Even though you've been accused of being otherwise, you're a simple, uncomplicated person. You just want the same things everyone else wants. You're just happier with what you already have. You are confident and strong minded. You are proud of who you are. You enjoy being recognized for your accomplishments, and you like to be the center of attention. Sometimes your ego can get the best of you. You do tend to outshine people. It's hard for you not to have a big head - very few people have it as good as you do.

What Kind of Muffin Are You?

It seems like I've been wrong about people a lot lately.
It's pretty humbling.
Friendship is complicated.
And assumptions are being made.
To a friend:
I know I assumed things that were stupid of me to assume, when your implications implied no such thing, and that I also imply things that you assume untruths about, but don't assume you have no chance when really you have all the the chance, you just assume I've implicated you don't.

Barack Obama! You're limiting my TV options!

The election results weren't as bad as I thought they would be.
Of course, Barack Obama won.
Gee, didn't see that one coming.
Even if I didn't (or don't) agree with his politics, people's excitement about his election is contagious.
And all of my friends are genuinely happy and think he'll bring a change.
And, looking on the bright side, he can't be worse than Bush.
I really want to know what kind of puppy he's getting his daughters once they move into the White House.
He definitely deserved to win the election, and John McCain was very sportsmanlike about losing.
I-1000 passed in Washington, though. It pretty much sucks.
I talked to some people about it, though, and their reasoning was, "Well, it costs a lot to keep someone on life support."
Yeah, that's true, too bad it's a COMPLETELY different issue.
I-1000 was about legalized suicide.
How come health care will pay to give someone a lethal injection, but won't pay to help fight the disease?
And how come teens shouldn't commit suicide, but sick adults are allowed to?
When this point was brought up, however, those same people said, "Well, it life support costs a lot."
It's pretty funny. A bunch of kids in my English class are closet conservatives, and we all sit near one another.
I stole my dad's sweatshirt. No, I've never attended Wichita State.
Hi-Chews are on sale, but everyone is broke.
Mmm, that's what Pop Tarts are for.

The Castle Personality Test

You are scared of new experiences. It's hard for you to break outside of your comfort zone. You like to think that people see you as dramatic and fascinating. You do your best to seem mysterious. You are a very romantic person. You can't help but see the world as it should be. Right now, you feel like the whole world is open to you. You see lots of possibilities. Overall, your life is very peaceful - if not a little solitary. Much of what goes on goes on in your head. You aren't optimistic about the future. You worry about what will happen to the world and if we'll be able to clean up the messes we've made.

The Castle Personality Test

We just finished "The Pit and the Pendulum" in English, and now we're watching a weird movie version that has absolutely nothing to do with the actual story.
The acting is rather horrendous, and all efforts to scare didn't do much for today's desensitized American teenagers.

Political graciousness: a privelege, not a right

The first issue of the school newspaper came out. It was actually pretty good, except for a couple articles that didn't weren't exactly "non-biased".

They don't preach things.
Which is why I'd be a horrible reporter.

It smells like strawberries!
Try saying that with a British accent. Straaawberries.
Ugh, like that guy on "Indiana Jones".
"JOOOOOOOOOONESYYYYYYYY! Jonesy, I'm gonna be all right. *wink*"
And then the aliens sucked him away.
But not Harrison Ford!
The stupid election.
I'm sort of discouraged. I know I've lost, okay. Or, at least, McCain has lost.
But it annoys me that because I'm not for Obama, people assume I'm racist.
It has nothing to do with the color of his skin!! It has to do with the fact that he's for abortion and what not!
And of COURSE America's ready for a black president. I just don't want it to be this one.
But that's not my choice. Barack Obama has won. So, in 4 years, I'll be 20, and I'll be able to vote, and if there is a black Republican candidate, I'll vote for them.
But quit calling me a racist.

That's not cool. Shut your foo.

How does that even happen? Why would she be okay with that?
You're not even REMOTELY romantically interested in each other...and yet?
Just a small problem.
Anyway.
Crap. The election is tomorrow.
Either way, we're screwed.

We Can't Predict Who You Voted For

According to our quiz, there's a 45% chance you voted for Obama. But that means there's an 55% chance you voted for McCain. You aren't very typical. You tend to be independent, and your vote is highly coveted. While we can't predict how you voted, there's a good chance you voted for the winner!

Did You Vote for Obama or McCain?

"Peter Pan" is really a very depressing book. Disney completely romanticized it and makes it seem like a wonderful children's story, but it's really not.
I'm not saying it's not a good book; it is. It's just really sad and violent and it's not something I'd read to my kids at bedtime.
They kill all the Indians! ALL OF THEM! IT'S A BLOODY MASSACRE!
THEY GOT TIGER LILY!
And Peter Pan never grows up. We all knew that was coming of course, but he completely forgets the people dearest to him, like Tinkerbell (who dies), Hook (his nemesis), the Lost Boys, and Wendy.
When Wendy grows up, he befriends her daughter Jane and takes her to Neverland.
When Jane grows up, he befriends her daughter Maragaret and takes HER to Neverland.
It's a neverending cycle.
I don't know. It kind of sucks for the girls, who "love" Peter in more ways than one, but find that he's too young and immature to get that.
Then, as they continue to mature and age, they have to leave him behind in Neverland.
My least favorite part is that Wendy, John, Michael, and the lost boys have all these wonderful adventures with fairies and pirates and what not...
...and then return to England, grow up, and live perfectly ordinary lives.
You would think that going to Neverland would make life...I don't know...worth living.
Kind of messes you up a little bit.

I took the jetskiis to Cabo, broseph!!

What a crazy weekend.
We won our Homecoming Game 48-21.
And our marching routine didn't totally SUCK!
YES!
Then Alexis, Maricel, and I decided that the people actually going to the dance were losers and watched "Indiana Jones" and "Pirates of the Caribbean".
Aliens. ALIENS.
Is Steven Spielberg on CRACK?
Then again, George Lucas was involved, and that NEVER bodes well.
Then, today, Emma, Isabel, my mom, and I saw "HSM 3".
That's two hours of my life I'll never get back.

You Should Be a Angel for Halloween

According to our quiz, you'd make an ideal angel. Your runner up costume: Cat

The Halloween Costume Generator

Zac Efron is such a self-obsessed jerk.
Ugh...HE'S SO SHALLOW.
And so is his character.
It was mostly just "The Troy and Gabriella" show.
Of course, Troy decides NOT to make a decision at all, choosing both basketball AND theater.
And he goes to Cal-Berkeley so he can be close to Gabriella.
The movie was slightly pornographic. Gabriella kept shoving her boobs in Troy's face, and Sharpay did a dance routine pantsless with a lot of heavy breathing.
Two of the freshman guys ran around in nothing but a towel, and Troy randomly ripped off his shirt in the middle of the locker room to show his ANGST.
And the whole scene with the freshmen boys? That qualifies as hazing, and Troy and Chad get off with detention.
HELLO? Everyone thought it was HILARIOUS, but they could have been EXPELLED at any other school.
And the 14-year-old black kid (sadly, I can't remember his name, because he had like 3 lines) they chose to "replace" Chad didn't have much of a part at all. I hope they paid him well.
EW, JIMMIE IS SO NASTY AND PERVERTED AND STALKER-Y!
I guess he was there for "comic relief", but he was just creepy.
Ugh, the British girl.
Kenny Ortega went ALL THE WAY TO ENGLAND to get this girl, and she was NOT worth it.
She reminded me of Lindsay Lohan in "The Parent Trap", only not as cute.

Excellent haul, Halloween candy-wise. Yeaaaah.
