Yukon, ho!

You Are a Mostly Polite Driver

You are generally an easy going, laid back person. However, you can't help but feel a little jealous and competitive sometimes! You tend to go by what you feel - not by the facts at hand. As a result, you tend to make a lot of uninformed decisions. You'd like to think you're a fair person, but you occasionally think you deserve a special kind of justice. You can be a rather tense, grouchy person - but you try to maintain your dignity. You have mixed feelings about authority figures. You understand their place, but you believe their power needs to be in check. You are somewhat focused, but you are also a bit scatterbrained. Distractions can get you in trouble. You don't feel a responsibility to anyone but yourself. You value your freedom more than anything else. Your ego is a healthy size. You don't think you're more important than anyone else.

What Does Your Driving Say About You?

Yaaaaaaaah! Back to school shopping!
Kristine did some sneaky recon with Jon and ended up at the South Center mall with us before she left.
I bought a hat. It has fuzzy earflaps.
And it was 20 BUCKS.
But that's okay. It was worth it.
My mom bought me a fleece jacket, too, so I'm all set for Refuel.
Or Yukon.
School starts in a week! Colorado already started. Parent Night is tomorrow, and I'm pretty pumped.
I just need to find a fedora...with feathers!
Like the Pranksters!
"30 Rock" is my new favorite show.
I'm trying to upload pictures onto my computer unsuccessfully. I have no idea what I'm doing.
I've been playing a lot of Harvest Moon lately. Sometimes 3-4 hours a day. Sad.
But I managed to woo Nami in 3 days!!
Well, 3 months in game time. But still!
Now we're married and have a kid.
He WILL be a musician. I know it!
Amby and I were talking about Harvest Moon the other day. You can get different colors of horses? Shocking!
Argh my schedule is still horrible. Hate hate hate. I have a lot of classes with friends that I don't see normally, so that's ONE good thing, but most of the people I DO hang out with...no classes. Probably not even lunch.
Argh.

888...the number of the beast?

Ha, Iron Maiden is too cool.
Yeah, today is 8/8/08 and I'm freaking out right now.
Cuz that's pretty cool.
If you're a nerd like me.
Here I sit, sporting my brand new WSU T-shirt. It looks pretty sweet, if I do say so myself.
Tie is almost back to normal, I think. She's still depressed and itchy (probably because she misses Nathan; she did pee on his bed), but she went on two walks and played tug-of-war for about 2 seconds before the next mood swing hit.
*shakes head* Girls.
Iliza Schlesinger won "Last Comic Standing"!!! Wow, who knew? It was between her and Marcus, and she pulled it off. And she's the first woman to win...EVER.
Last night's finale was sort of lame, though. They had Jon Reep, John Lovitz, and some guy off E! perform. Jon Reep was funny, as always. I still love it when he says "Hickory".
But Bill Belamy and Fearne Cotton didn't really have anything to do, so they compromised by telling stupid jokes (Bill), making loud screeching noises (Bill), forcing laughter at all the comics' jokes (Fearne), making weird hand gestures (also Fearne), and looking awkward (again, Fearne).
GROSS, I looked in the mirror without my retainers on and I looked like Demi Lovato!!
No, that's not a good thing!!
But when I showed off my hideous new teeth and turned my head to the side, I WAS Demi Lovato!
Only, you know, taller and myopic.
We even have the same really large cleft chin and bangs!
WHAT IS GOING ON????
It kind of screwed up my entire day.
Because I went through 6 years of dental torture so they could make me look like Demi Lovato.
So no, Mom, I don't think this stupid braces business was worth it AT ALL.
I have half a mind NOT to wear these stupid retainers.
But, of course, I only have half a mind.

Prose sucks; don't do it.

Well, I survived my first drive today, as you can already tell.
It wasn't as bad as I'd expected. Pheobe went first, so I got to watch what she did before messing up myself.
I messed up too many times to count, so the observation didn't exactly help any. That's okay, though. I backed the car into a parking space without hitting anyone!
I was feeling bored and annoyed with the fact that I have to carry my wallet/coin purse/thing in my pocket, so I went out and bought a purse. At Walmart. For cheap. It's cute, though, and my mom helped pay for it. Now I'm trying to convince my mom to buy me a cellphone to put IN the purse. She was practically crying, something about how I'm growing up. Yeah. I'm on my way to becoming a girl. Woman. Whatever. Something of that sort.
UGH, Sharon M. Draper's "Romiette and Julio" sucked something serious. I got it because it was an ALA best book and I love all things Romeo and Juliet, but this was just BAD. And I know that if I say it's bad, it doesn't prove that it was a badly written book or that she's a bad author, but in my honest opinion? I'm shocked that anyone could stand it for long enough to read all of it. It was sappy, the word choice felt wrong, the characters were annoying, and NO teenager would say ANY of the things that were written in the hideous dialogue. Think I'm being harsh? Read it. Agh, what a waste of time. And it was supposed to be about overcoming racial prejudice, yet the Mexican guy named his dog "Taco"?
Tie has taken to sleeping on my bed whenever I'm not home, or when I'm not looking. She disappeared for an hour and I found her curled on my pillow.
Aw, Paul Foot got kicked off "Last Comic Standing". His prop comedy routine was pretty awful, though. "I'm, uh, the Cat Assassin. This is like China, you see? China, because it's oppressive. There's oppression." Bill Bellamy practically dragged him off stage. Papa CJ's was bad, too. Sean Cullen and Jeff Dye did the best sets, so I no longer hate Jeff Dye. He proved himself worthy, lol. Adam Hunter and Ron G still suck, though. Especially Adam Hunter. They almost put him into elimination, but they didn't. Because they wanted Iliza. And she MURDERED them.
"Barry Bonds' baseball glove! Barry Bonds' testicles! Britney Spears' mind! LOOK HOW IT JIGGLES!"

I've always wanted to meet the Lord Voldemort!

I hate to admit it, but I'm now a HUGE fan of God's Pottery, even if they can be sacreligious. They had to think up as many "Yo Mama" jokes as possible, and there's were the opposite of a good Yo Mama joke, so it was funny.
"Your mother is so pretty, we think she could be a model. We do."
"Your mother is so terrific, she was voted mayor of Awesomeville."
It made Ron G mad, because he'd be like, "Yeah, I made such an awesome joke," and they'd be like, "Yeah, that WAS funny!"
I like how they stole his thunder by turning the other cheek.
In that respect, they have Christian love and understanding down pat.
Whatever, Ron G deserved it. He's a cocky unfunny jerk.
Then they beat Adam Hunter, too, and he was getting just as mad. Sucker. I don't like him, either.
He, Ron G, and Jeff Dye should all be sent home.
Jim Tavare is so big and scary, but he's also pretty hilarious. Gideon Lamb called him "Lord Voldemort", which is actually what he looks like.
Then Jim and Paul started conversing, because they're British, and they had a British fight.
Paul is SO ADORABLE and tells really obscure jokes. He told one about jam tarts that about made me pee my pants. Then he said, "Iliza Schlesinger," really funny, so he could probably win, because he's funny even when he's just saying someone's name.
Sean Cullen is funny, but he sucks at improv. He's so weird and over the top, too. He was the "Knight Beauty Hermaphrodite Queen" or something like that. He did sang a song for Paul Foot that was about "doing a little dance and showing them your pants".
Paul was "the Elephant King" for the photo shoot. It was brilliant.
Nathan thought Papa CJ was ugly, but I think he's cute. He's like a cute, funny Indian Snape.
"They are essentially paying you to bomb them."
Iliza told a hilarious joke about deer haunches. It sent Esther Ku home (YAY!), but it also sent God's Pottery home, which, a week ago, I would NOT have been sad about.
Phew. That's all I have about last night's "Last Comic Standing".
I just downloaded Simple Plan's "Vacation", which made me cry in 7th grade.
Now it's on my ipod. Who knew?
It's only 2:31 long!!! That was a waste of 10 minutes.
