Karma: Attractive people having ugly babies

But the babies shouldn't be punished for it.
Just their parents.
AAAAAAAGH I was playing with my Princess Diaries Sims and all the teens went to college.
They all looked pretty good for young adult sims, at least pretty normal.
Then Michael Moscovitz got out of the car.
He used to look like this. He's the only one not wearing glasses.

You don't even want to know what he looks like now. Actually, I'd show you, but I don't have a current picture of him.
Speaking of babies, Tyler and I made one together. Her name is Captain and she has black hair, blue eyes, clodhopper feet, and is freakishly tall.
Tyler made her look disgusting.
Great. Our child is a clown.
Even though, seeing as we're cousins, she should have three heads and flippers, so I guess she doesn't look that bad.
Classes for next year! Paul and Kevin are taking English Lit with me, but Amanda is going full time at the college (lame) and Emma is dropping out of band.
So next year has some possible suckage.
Ugh, if any of my teachers mentions the WASL one more time, I'm going to walk out.
THE WASL IS A WASTE OF TIME.
THERE IS NO NEED TO PREPARE.

You can feel it all over, people

Stevie Wonder, "Sir Duke"!!!
When you have a sore throat, $25, and endless free time, all sorts of things can happen.
So I bought some Stevie Wonder, Queen, Paramore, and "Rent".
Now I'm reading Sims 2 blogs.
Weeee, March. Greatest month. And it's getting warmer (sort of) and it's sunny pretty much all the time. It's like a different state.
If you were to rob someone, would you really take their couch?
Not only is it heavy, but how else will they watch TV?
My dog smells awful.
I watched a half hour infomercial about 70's music. My dad watched with me and salivated over Tony Orlando's music collection.
I also watched "ShakespeaREtold", which was pretty excellent. "Much Ado About Nothing" was really well done. The ending of "Macbeth" was genius. "A Midsummer Night's Dream" sucked, but I hated that one anyway.
Ugh, watched "The Bachelor" on Monday. Jason Mesnick is such a scumbag.
First, he proposes to Melissa. She seemed so happy and they were so cute together.
Then, literally 5 MINUTES LATER, on "After the Final Rose", the camera cuts to Jason sobbing as he admits he doesn't love Melissa anymore and wishes he could bring Molly back.
HELLO???
He spent 6 WEEKS with Melissa. He spent all the holidays with her family and she bonded with Ty.
But that wasn't good enough, because the chemistry "changed".
Well, DUH! As you guys get closer, your relationship changes. That's the whole point!!
But no. He went crying back to Molly.
Melissa came on the show and chewed Jason out, calling him a bastard and saying that he might've loved Melissa, and wanted to be with Melissa, but he didn't want to fight for Melissa, because he was a balless sissy.
Well, she didn't say the last part. But she might as well have.
And I couldn't stop thinking about how SELFISH he was. SERIOUSLY! On the show, he was never worried about how the girls would feel, and he was only worried about what he wanted. His son is probably really confused after spending all that time with Melissa, having his dad promise that Melissa would be their new mom, and then dumping her. His son is probably never going to have a normal life because of his dad's fame, but it was NECESSARY. Jason NEEDED to find love.
And he ASKS Molly to take him back.
AND SHE DOES!!!
What. An. Idiot. If she doesn't think he'll do the same thing to her, she's kidding herself.
The opposite of love is selfishness. No wonder he got divorced.

PINK TEAM!!

PE was pretty intense today. We split into teams, and Alexis, Kevin, Tori, Sarah, and I were on the PINK team. We wore flamboyant jerseys and yelled, "PINK team!!" So you can tell it was fun for everyone else, too, lol. :P
We were also the "Muscular Strength" team. Yeaaah, strong...PINK team!!
Then Mr. Freeman had us play this soccer-ish game where we kicked the ball around and has to exercise the 5 components of fitness if we lost.
Corum bruised my shins SOOOO bad.
Kelsey practically tackled me to the ground.
Ben is hilarious. And he bought a chocolate bar off me. So he's pretty much my new best friend.
Ha, I love the pink team.

The Autumn Test

What Your Socks Say About You

You Are: - Infinitely enchanting - Simply amazing - An incredible person - A true star

The Socks Personality Test

I love how completely untrue those were.
Ugh, Sims 2 Prosperity Challenge is so LAME!! I have really big families that eat a lot and don't really do anything exciting.
And there are NO fortune OR romance Sims??
And there are too many elders. :P I tried playing with my first family, but nothing exciting happened, and all my Sims almost DIED because there weren't enough beds!! So I used "maxmotives". And I wasn't even sorry.
I sort of wasted my money on "Sims 2 H&M Fashion Stuff". Just clothes.
HISTORY WAS SO AMAZING!!! We had to make pyramids, and Maricel made one out of Starbursts and Pez!! It was pretty epic. And then she let us EAT IT!!
Then Ariel unveiled the pyramid cake she had made the night before, and let us eat THAT!!
Why is it that the best moments of my life involve food rather than people?
Hmmmm....
The chocolate bar sale is ON!! Cherrydale Farms. Heh. Pretty delicious. I've sold 19 so far. Only 23 more to go!!

Live long and be prosperous

The rain is back. I'm sort of enjoying it. Truth be told, I love it when it rains. I would sort of miss it if I moved to Pullman, where it never rains.
I can't wait for winter. We're not even all the way through fall, and I'm pumped for winter. I think it's my favorite season, followed by summer, then fall, then spring. Spring is just kind of lame. There's nothing really to look forward, besides prom (XP) and maybe Easter. And Spring Break, but after a lifetime of lame Spring Breaks, I no longer get excited about this break from school.
Aaagh this blog is so cool!! I want to be part of the Prosperity challenge, too!! This person has really beautiful Sims, though, with cool hair.
I think I'll wait until I get another expansion pack and some new hair.
Ooh, even the aliens are beautiful!!
Seriously, doesn't the Prosperity challenge sound FASCINATING??
Or titillating.
For complete rules, go here.

Teamwork! Pokemon! Dugtrio!

Uggggh. "Barbie and the Diamond Castle" was pretty bad, even for a Barbie movie.
I was so excited, too, but it was no "Mariposa", which pretty much changed my life.
Or "Barbie as the Island Princess", which was pretty cool.
Barbie's friend Teresa had a major role, but didn't really do anything. It was mostly just a Barbie lovefest.
And there were singing Elvis twins!!! Aaaaaah say it isn't so!!
The creators of the movie thought it would be ABSOLUTELY hilarious to have the puppies start breakdancing.
CHOCOLATE! The Cherrydale Farms guy came to our school and supplied us with candy. Raaah, I want to start selling.
Maybe I'll even buy a whole box so I can hole up in my room and eat all 42 bars.
"Oh, uh, hey there, Timpani. I'd like to thank you for this amazing breakfast. Scrambled eggs and cinnamon toast?? Mmmmm...delicious."
Ba dum bum.
Aaaah, a Sims blog!!! I'm trying to go back to the very beginning. It'll probably take a while.
SUCCESS!
Sierra stole my measuring tape.
But, no matter, I'm still flat-chested.
:(
Mr. Rosendale is having us read really depressing stories.
First, "The Cold Equations" (okay, not going to lie, I liked that one).
Then, it was "The river, the Bass, and Sheila Mant" (Aaargh. She wasn't worth it...and THEY BOTH GOT AWAY!)
Pretty soon, we're going to read "Of Mice and Men".
Lennie!!! Bunnies!!! Murder!!! Morality!! God!!!
Sounds like a blast. XP
I kind of want to make a Sims blog now.
But we all know how that will turn out.

It's not just how you're covered; it's how you're treated.

Hehehehe, our small group is too fun.
Jin is really into Star Wars, army men...and Barbies!!
He was really jealous of our Barbies and Polly Pockets.
I think Kristine is coming over tomorrow so we can make a Barbie soap opera.
Totally fabulous!!
I think my Homecoming date ditched me. Why, Sierra, why?
And I don't think she's mad at me...?
Urgh.
I want to give Mr. Rosendale my dad's Republican National Committee pin. He'll get the joke. But my dad won't let me wear it...even though he never does.
Ugh, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. is so lame. I can't get into "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater". Why should I have to finish it?
Mwahahaha, the Rent Sims are still alive and well.
Collins and Angel's oldest son is at college with Benny's daughter. The two are engaged and have almost finished freshman year.
Mark's son and Joanne and Maureen's daughter are at college, too.
Mimi and Roger's youngest daughter just became a child.
And practically everyone is in private school.
Argh, I just want 3rd generation Rent sims.
I don't know why I'm excited about the birth of virtual babies.
And just looking at some of the parents, these are going to be some PRETTY ugly babies.
Except for Paul's kids. Whoever marries Maureen and Joanne's only son will be VERY lucky. He's BEAUTIFUL.
Which is creepy. Because he's, you know, not real.
But some Sims are competely beautiful as teenagers and then BUTT UGLY as adults.
Like J.P. and Michael.
Ugh, I'm thirsty.

The Lord of the Flies strikes again

Jeff is too funny.
Today he talked about how guys and girls change a tire: girls don't do it right and the car falls on their hand, which results in a lot of owies (his words, not mine), while guys jump on the car and somehow break their kneecaps off.
Not knowing about cars, I'm not sure exactly how these injuries occurred.
Then a bee came into the room, scaring the crap out of Linzee, so Jeff said, "Get out of here, guy. You're bothering the ladies," and it LEFT.
Wow, he's like...Lord of the Flies.
Or Bees.
But "Lord of the Bees" doesn't sound nearly as cool.

You Are Black Tea

You have a bold personality. You're not afraid of simply being yourself. You have the courage to speak the truth. You are fearless in your actions. You come off as a bit intimidating and unapproachable. Only confident people are attracted to you. You don't try to scare off anyone. You're just an intense person!

What Kind of Tea Are You?

My Rent sims are coming along nicely. Mark married some random girl, who is now pregnant. Collins and Angel just adopted a boy they named Devil (I know, I was trying to be clever) and might adopt another one. Roger and Mimi are dating. Maureen and Joanne just got married and are also adopting. I haven't played with Benny and Alison since they had their baby because I'm scared the grandpa will die.

You Are Comic Sans

You are a nothing but a big goofball. You're quite playful and fun! You're widely known for your zany personality and your vivacious attitude. To say that you stand out in a crowd would be a definite understatement. Remember that you are overwhelming at times and that people appreciate you best in small doses.

What Font Are You?

Life lessons from "Matlock".

Aaargh, my dad and I are going at it again.
Well, that's not true, because we haven't fought yet, but he's sort of pressuring me about worship team and music in general.
For instance, he thinks I'm not serious about bass (guilty: I'd love to be good at it, but I don't want to put in the effort to play more than roots of chords) and says if I ever want to play in church, I'm going to have to join the youth worship team.
So basically, he wants me to join a cult.
That's PRACTICALLY what it is!!
Okay, and he did point out that compared to the youth band at our last church, this one seems quite tame and is probably more structured, but from what I've heard, the people in it are rather clique-y and, what's more, the music they play SUCKS.
Only I am tempted to join because John is in it now and I'd get to hang with him, and there's this whole jealousy factor with William because he plays bass a whole BUNCH with them and I feel that I'm just as good as he is.
But I don't know why my dad is so ADAMANT about me joining them.
I'm sort of getting mixed messages from him music-wise, because a few months ago he was trying to dissuade me from ever playing bass in the worship team.
Then, in the car on the way back home from Pullman, I asked about music scholarships in general terms and my dad basically told me I'd never, ever get one unless I pulled an Amby and joined a million freaking symphonies and majored in music.
WHICH I'M NOT INTERESTED IN DOING! It's just that I love music and we can't pay for college, and Mr. Villiers told me in 7th grade that I could PROBABLY get a trombone scolarship if I kept playing.
WHICH I INTEND TO DO!!
So who's right here??
And now there's some nonsense about lessons (for trombone or bass...or both), and I was always one of those big-headed losers who thought I was too good for lessons.
Maybe so for trombone (or maybe I'm just stuck-up), but I'm thinking I could definitely use a little help on bass.
Good news, though: Dean is finally letting me play in the horn section.
I'm sort of offended, though, because the only reason he's letting me play is "the new music isn't too difficult".
If you really think that badly of my playing, I'd rather you left me out of the worship team for good.
-_-
I'm sort of addicted to Sims 2 now, thanks to my "Rent" Sims.
Maureen and Joanne were my first gay couple.
Although Collins and Angel got married before they did (Maureen and Joanne are still engaged).
Alison (Benny's wife) just had a baby, but her dad (the baby's grandpa) is going to die soon if I don't fill up his aspiration meter, which I've purposefully neglected because all he wants to do is buy expensive things.
Haha, they named the kid Evita.
Now Mark is dating some random girl (though he and Maureen are still in love - oops), Mimi has ye tto move in and meet Roger, and Benny is going to take over the business world.

Wouldn't you like to know?

Sean Kingston. Stuck in my head.
Who knew scoop neck T-shirts were so hard to wear?
I obviously didn't.
Rather than feeling cute and trendy, I feel naked and slutty.
And it's plum, which doesn't look that great on me.
I'm really thinking about destroying my Madison Finn Sims (that was never going to go anywhere) and creating Rent Sims.
Because I can.
And I really want to make a weak-chinned Roger.
I've decided to buy "The Silver Cord" this month with my meager funds because I listened to it online and it sounds pretty cool, and so far it has very positive reviews.
Lol, I spent at least 4 hours reading stuff on Cracked.com and the articles on superheroes cracked me up.
Tie slept with me for about an hour this morning, barked at every little noise coming from outside, and was very annoyed when I decided to get dressed rather than immediately take her on a walk.
In other words, she's back to normal.

Ruffle my hair, Mr. Hanks!

What are some movies that you HAVE to cry during, otherwise you're a horrible person? I could only think of two: "Forrest Gump" and Bruce Willis' "The Kid". But that's just me. Just wondering, because Forrest Gump was on A&E last night, so we watched the last hour and a half. "I miss you, Jenny." Soo sad. Haley Joel Osment wears adorable pants in that movie.
Hurray for online shopping!!!
Harry Potter Sims 2 neighborhood. Tempting, tempting. Don't give in.
"Good Eats" lied. After trying their recipe for puffy cookies, the mounds of dough taste like crap and smell like shortening. Curse you, shortening.
Will you stay here for a while, so I can watch you when you smiiile, I like to think so.
Well, I hope I don't drive you insane, with my big right foot and my unkempt mane. Well, I know you love me the way I am, but I'll change my ways if I think I can.
Hahaha, they sang "Girlfriend" for Marisa Jaret Winokur's jive on "Dancing With the Stars" last night. They changed the lyrics to "everloving princess". You know, rather than "mother-effing princess". Too funny.
I like it better when Avril Lavigne pauses meaningfully, however. "I'm the...princess!!"
You're looking kind of anxious with your back up against the wall, don't this kind of music make you want to move at all?
Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna, gonna do?
WOO!!! Madison Finn #11: Heart to Heart for $.01 + $3.99 shipping!!!
I don't know, say what?

Wow, you're wrong.

You know how adults think they know what's going on with a group of teenagers and decide to lecture you about it, and you're sitting there, blinking stupidly, and you have NO idea what they're talking about. In other words, Sunday School was REALLY fun today. -_- I guess the majority of us don't really get into worship, and it's assumed that it's because we're in conflict with others.
I'm thinking it has to do with the worship team.
So that wasn't very fun. And they ended EARLY, so I had to wait in the cold for my brother.
On the bright side, we didn't have to sing!!!
I suppose that makes me a really horrible person.
The end of the year is coming so fast!!! We're already discussing ASB budget for next year (and possibly the next four years as well!!!), the end of the year awards assembly, sophomore classes, and FRESHMAN!!!
So now I'm worried about getting a date for a dance that's two months away. Brilliant.
I don't even have a dress.
Is it really sad that a junior high dance is more nerve-wracking than being in charge of several assemblies?
The Princess Diaries Sims: Helen had TWINS, which doesn't exactly follow the book AT ALL, but thankfully one of them was a boy, so I named him Rocky (of course). The other was Rose, because I remember Mr. Gianini wanting to name his daughter that.
The Greeks would want me to go to NYU.

Next stop: Sky High!

I don't think I watched that movie at all last year. :O THAT'S WHY MY YEAR WAS SO BAD!
I think my next project will be Sky High Sims.
How positively freakish.
A lot of stuff has been happening, or not happening. Tests, and quizzes, and math labs, and whatnot.
Nathan came home from college. He'll be here for a week. We want burgers!! I read all his Rolling Stone magazines. Basically it's run by a bunch of "open-minded" pot-smoking music freaks. Kind of boring, and there was an entire article about a transvestite boy who WASN'T EVEN REAL!!!
Pop Tart filling can be kind of grainy, which is disgusting.
Lucky Charms and Cheerios.
Curse you, guitars.
AND Girl Scout cookies.
I really wanted those Girl Scout Cookies.

Gross? Yes. Refreshing? You have no idea.

Aww, I missed my chance to post on Leap Day!!! I was sort of busy with basketball, dancing, and spaghetti.
I kind of love pep assemblies, and I actually got to play with the pep band this time (which is so much better than helping the ASB do whatever they're doing), but afterwards I always feel really, REALLY tired. Like screaming at the top of my lungs and playing "Another One Bites the Dust" is so exhausting.
But the freshmen won (AGAIN), basketball was pretty cool (losing team had to sing to the wrestlers), and the dance was funner than usual.
Who knew dancing was that intense? And sweaty? And fun?
Not like I can dance. And I'll never get "Souljah Boy" down.
Oh well. I love my school.
I'm good to go, and I'm going nowhere fast, it could be worse, I could be taking you there with me.
I'm good to go...and it looks like I'm still on my own.
Heheh, just reread "Princess Mia". I love JP. Kitchen scene = amazing.
"Omg. JP is in love with me. And we blew up the school."
Yay, it's March 1st!!! I love March. Pretty much the best month!
Hey, today was solo ensemble. I attempted to dress nice and ended up looking like a ninja. We'd been pretty worried because Kevin said he wouldn't come, but he came and CONNOR DIDN'T. Argh, not happy with him. Not like we needed him, because he's not a brass instrument and was just doubling on my part, but way to not tell us. Well, he told Micah and Robert YESTERDAY, THE DAY BEFORE THE PERFORMANCE, but not me or Kevin. WE DIDN'T SUCK! It was amazing. Micah got a little off, but he managed to get back on track.
Rodeo cheeseburgers, Burger King milkshakes, Snickers and soda, and lame picture retakes, orange grease that flies off those good chicken wings,
THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS!!!
At this rate, I'll grow another inch and cup size.
Like Princess Mia.
OMG, SIMS UNIVERSITY...I HAS IT.

Shocking things can be rather shocking

AAAAAAAAAAH! I LOVE PRINCESS DIARIES SIMS!! I haven't moved anyone in yet, because I hate redecorating houses (or rather, I love it, but it takes SO LONG), and I haven't started working on the epic neighborhood story, but things are going good with the families I do have moved in. Helen and Philippe started out married, but broke up, and I'm trying to get Grandmere and Lars to move in with him. Mr. Gianini got Helen pregnant, so they're getting married, and Mia and Michael are going steady. Lilly and Mia are best friends, JP has a crush on Mia, but Lilly and Boris haven't met yet. Phew. I can't wait to see what lil Rocky looks like.
OMG I actually made the basketball team!!! They posted a list right after practice on Wednesday and I was on it!!! Sweet! Nobody has to quit to make room for me now! I'm pretty excited, but I missed practice yesterday, so I'll probably pay for it today.
Viking Jazz Festival = boring. There was this one high school that was really good, but the other bands weren't worth watching, so we just acted retarded and ate Paul's snackums (which is pretty much the most amazing word ever). Then there was a lot of fuss about the secret pocket, which was in his PANTS.
I heart Atreyu.
And Patrick Stump.
Patrick Stump Sim??
'twould be amazing.
Agh. I need a new word besides "amazing".
They extended the semester till Monday. :P Lame. Amanda's schedule got all screwed up and now she's switching out of English and getting a new lunch, so I'll practically NEVER see her. Dang.

I want to be forever young.

Aaargh I kind of hate that song. Whenever I hear it on Jack or something, I keep thinking of Mormon dances and Napoleon Dynamite.
A snow day!!! I was so convinced it wasn't going to be one (I've stopped looking out my window in case of disappointment). But it was. Yeaaaah.
I shouldn't be this excited, but I'm planning on making a new Sims 2 neighborhood full of Princess Diaries characters. Eeee. Sooo much drama. Only I'm not sure where everyone's going to live, because Mia has a million friends and I don't want to create individual families for all of them. I'm thinking JP, Ling Su, Perin, Lana, Josh, and Tina will all live with Principal Gupta.
At least I'm not making a Harry Potter neighborhood. Where would all the Weasleys live? Although Fred IS dead now, and Percy, Bill, and Charlie no longer live at home....
I just realized that George married Angelina, who I always thought would end up with Fred. Doesn't that make her off limits? No respect for the dead.

Vans reminiscent of Oggy

EEEE I HAVE NEW SHOES!!! How positively girly of me to say. Whatever. I love them. They're my first pair of Vans: black with pink puppies. And I bought some jeans, so now I actually have stuff to wear. I don't care if it's stereotypical of women or demeaning to our gender, but I love shopping. It's therapuetic. We also bought stuff for my dad. I picked out a shirt AND tie for him, but I really don't think he liked it. Oh well.
Yeah. That's basically all I did today, besides read "The Magician's Nephew" and ravage a package of White Rabbits. I can't wait to wear my new shoes. And jeans. But there was this amazing belt I saw and now I can't find it. It's the phantom belt. I saw that one girl eyeing it enviously as I admired it the last time I was in there. I bet she took it.
Sims 2 Stuff Pack: Teen Style? Looks amazing. I haven't actually created a teen character yet. Or an elder. I'll add one to my brand new neighborhood. I think I'll create a Harry Potter family, but I'm torn: create him as a teen, or create him married to Ginny already with a family? Time will tell, I guess....

"This is one of my fantasies...only it's not cherry pie...and you're not in it."

I don't try to think about his exact meaning.
Yay I love the Sims, don't you?
So my family is all, "Since you didn't get to open your presents until the day after Christmas last year, why don't we open them on Christmas Eve?" All right, that's cool. Only I'm only getting one present this year. Man. How depressing. AND I know what it is. At least it's cool. My grandpa told me to bring my bass to his house once I get it and play for him. Yeah right, like I can play.
Aaargh, I was going to play trombone for the worship team, but then my dad brought home the music and it was SOOOO freaking hard. I mean, it was the hardest piece of music I've ever played, and I haven't been playing very challenging trombone music as of late. But this was like, *high* D D G F# E D C natural, really fast, and then go to a high A, like a Chicago horn line. Aaargh. So I was really mad that I couldn't play it and my dad thought I was mad at him and was all, "Awww, don't feel bad, it's all right." Argh, felt like a failure. I'm mostly worried about how it'll sound when my dad goes to the worship team people and is all, "Oh yeah, it was way too hard for my daughter, can she play some other time?" Cuz they probably won't let me. It figures we had to choose a church with a really good worship team.
Do do do do do do.
Hannah Montana.
Yay, annual Christmas party last night. Okay, this is two years in a row that we haven't had Nancy's delicious coconut bonbon-y things. Those are my favorite and she STOPPED MAKING THEM. >:P Haate. The littlest cousins were pretty cute, though. Cooper wreaked havoc on Christine's magazines, Brooke and Lachlan took on the other twins (and won), and Gage and Taylor ran around screaming and trying to get upstairs to look at presents.
OMG, Braeden got the HSM 2: Extended Edition and we were watching it!!! I only got to watch half, though, then I had to go. Ew, there was this weird scene that had not been in the movie (read: extended edition) where Sharpay and Ryan perform "Humuhumunukunukuapua'a" for Troy and Sharpay names Troy the fish prince and Ryan throws a temper tantrum. It was SOOOOOOOOO disturbing.

Hilary Swank makes me want to barf.

I thought "P.S. I Love You" looked cheesy but sort of interesting, but apparently it really sucks. Lol, A&E had a really funny movie review, though. "Tonight, we all dine in hell."
Soooo Winter Break has been fun so far. It's weird, though, because it doesn't really feel like Christmas. Maybe because last year was so weird...I don't know. But I went "Christmas shopping" with my mom and William (really, we just looked around and hinted about what we wanted) and seeing all the Santas in swimsuits and hideous reindeer sort of reminded me...oh, Christmas is in 4 days. Actually, Christmas Eve is in 3 days, and we've decided to open our presents then, soooo.... Dang, I know like everything that I'm getting, though. I think I should be more excited about getting a bass. I don't know. I'm scared that I'll suck at it, cuz all the bass players I know are really good and I'm not stellar at string instruments. I keep hearing that bass is different, but still.
I love blueberry muffins!
Yay for the Sims! So far my Avalon families are doing nicely and I'm trying to get Adriane and Zach to have 6 kids, hopefully twins, but I don't have "Open for Business", so some of the twin cheats are unavailable. Oh well. I just have a weird obsession with fulfilling all Sims' life goals. Kara's kids look black, but they have green skin. Marcus is so adorable, though. (It's sad, I had to name her second son after a guy she had a crush on in the series???) Yeah, I'm a nerd.
Ummmm...working on 2007 playlist. But not really. I was thinking "Start of Something New" as the first song, because my 14th birthday seemed so promising, but I don't know now. Maybe something birthday related??
Do do do do do do.
I have to go do some Honors Society stuff. Yay, watch little kids whilst eating candy and watching movies!!! Wonder what we're watching.
I love Anchorblue.

Orchestra is lame. Oooooooh.

Yeah, we had a practice with the orchestra yesterday, and it went badly.
Pizza was delicious today.
"Hey, Lauren, that pizza sure looks lonely."
"Well, so do you, but you can't have any."
Yay, I made a complex sentence.
Although John often forgot to put on his pants, he was a very nice boy with a wonderful singing voice.
Stayed after school to help set up for the concert, so I didn't get home until 1:15 or so. Then Paul, Alexis, and I just sat around in the bandroom talking and Mr. Faxon got mad. Apparently I can't play bass because I'm white and I'm not Connor, who's also Mexican. Hm....
I have that "Shut Up" song by Simple Plan stuck in my head.
What would you say if you peeled off roughly half of the skin on your head? Just wondering.
Hm hm hm. I wonder how the Sims are.
It would be weird to make a family modeled after my own...but it would be kind of cool. I would make William a toddler, Nathan a teen, and myself a kid, because then I'd still be able to customize features. Aaargh, don't you hate it when your Sim has like 5 babies that ALL LOOK THE SAME!! Michele and Elodie look exactly alike as toddlers, and the three youngest have the same skin color (dark), while Amelie has light skin. ???
Forget Veronaville.
Mmm, spritz cookies.
Ha. Now William's Sim AND his wife are pregnant. Lol.

The future has arrived.

Awwww, "Meet the Robinsons" was SOOOO GOOD. I saw a lot of it coming, but it was really funny and the end was fantabulously creative (I wanted to use an adjective other than "so"). THE FROGS!!!!! It made me cry, tho.
Aaagh, speaking of movies, we had to watch this MESSED UP movie in French today. It was called "My Mother's Castle", and the kid was obsessed with his summer home in the country, and then he met a girl with round calves who made him do weird things.
I think I'm addicted to Sims 2. Yesterday = 5 hours. Today = 3 hours. I'm getting better. I'm dealing only with my French family, but they're having another baby, and they had a second child, who's adorable. I just need to think up another French name. Olivier was my last resort.
Mr. Campbell made me, Tim, Ariel, Dylan, and Jessi stay after school to finish a lab. Ours finally landed in the cup after Mr. Campbell let us sort of cheat and adjust it so it reacted to the curve. It landed in the middle of the cup...and bounced out. At least we got the distance perfect. :P
Do do do do do do. No good books lately. "Pride and Prejudice" is SOOOOO boring. They're just talking about Jane and Mr. Bingley, bla bla bla. EEEEE I GOT "SNAKECHARM" FROM THE LIBRARY! Okay, one thing: Danica's pregnant? I guess she and Zane have been busier than we thought....
