He's fast! He's strong! He'll pop all your bloons!
School finally let out on Thursday. Classes were only 27 minutes long, but each class was the longest 27 minutes of my life.
And I wore a skirt for the first time in 2 or 3 years. I was girling it up. Flaunting it. All that good stuff.
Then we went to Dairy Queen and I got the crappiest dipped cone I'd ever seen.
It was like a mountain rather than a triumphant curlicue. And not a beautiful mountain. If there is such a thing.
And it tasted like a melancholy cloud.
It would've been poetic if it hadn't been so disgusting.
GROSS!
And the weather has kind of sucked since then. It was like, "Woooo, Summer Break!!!" And yet there are clouds in the sky, it's down to 50 degrees, and it rained today.
Fun.
I hate it here.
But we went to Seattle for the Mariners game, which made me love Washington again.
I know. We have a complicated relationship.
My dad and I sat right behind home plate, and talked about music ("Do you like Candlebox Twenty?" "....") while eating delicious pizza and full-fat ice cream.
Yeah, I'll be honest; I only got to baseball games for the food.
But I managed to pay attention...and we won! So that was nice.
The helmet cups were overrated. It's $7 for a helmet full of ice cream, and you say to yourself, "A whole HELMET? With whipped cream? $7? BRING IT ON!" So you troop over to the ice cream stand and wait in line forever, all while chanting and psyching yourself up for a whole HELMETFUL of ICE CREAM! It's 7-year-old Bill Cosby's dream-come-true. So you get up there and fork over 7 bucks and choose from a grand total of 3 flavors...and then they bring out the helmet.
It's tiny.
It's smaller than the $5 cups they use for ice cream.
It's a rip off.
But it's so darn cute!

Jelly Battle, ha ha ha
I'm a corporal! Take that!
I'm a sergeant!
But not a captain.
Well, now I am.
I guess I don't really get Pandemic at all.
It was really cute, the Sunday School classes came out and handed carnations to all the mothers for Mothers Day.
One of Mike's kids gave me a flower.
But I'm not a mother.
But that's okay.
Lol, the game Pandemic is completely awful, but sort of entertaining.

I've got headaches and back luck, but they couldn't touch you, no
Easter is tomorrow!! It came way faster than it did last year. Same with Christmas. And just about every holiday we've had so far.
But we had Saturday service up in the sanctuary today, which was sort of new and unheard of.
But exciting.
Even more people came than usual.
And when you're standing on stage waiting for the worship portion of the service to start, there's nothing else to do but stare at everyone that comes through the door.
Not to be mean or intimidating.
Just curious.
And some pretty hot guys go to my church. ;)
There was this one guy who walked in that was pretty cute, and tall, which is a plus.
He looked sort of familiar, but I didn't know who he was.
Then, as my dad and I were leaving, we saw this family from Sylvan Way (AKA hell) that we used to know a billion years ago.
And that guy was with them.
....
....
....
....
....
NO WAY!!!!
Turns out it was my best friend from 4th grade.
The one I used to have a crush on.
The one who beat me on every science test because that was the one subject he was better at.
The one I got in a huge argument about evolution with.
The one I haven't seen for FOUR YEARS!!!!
THAT ONE.
So that was surprising. He comes to Saturday night service every so often, but is also checking out another church his parents like.
And he recognized me right away.
My bad.
Ha ha, Nick at Nite.
:O
"Am I a genius or what? It works every time."
What a jerk! Dump him, Anna, dump him!

Woo, a nonsexy aphrodisiac!
You Are Asparagus |
 You're not exactly subtle. You seduce people by being highly suggestive. And surprisingly, it works. Your outrageous ways are very appealing. You always try to look as sexy as possible. Even if it means being a bit inappropriate. You somehow always manage turn the vibe sexual. You have more fun when everyone is being naughty! |
Your Valentine's Day Personality is Practical |
 As far as you're concerned, Valentine's Day is simply a commercial holiday. You don't place any real meaning on it. You don't think it deserves too much celebration. For you, Valentine's Day is just the day you avoid restaurants and candy stores. If you love someone, you already show it. You don't need to go all out for a silly holiday to prove your love. |

Obscure ramblings of a hormonal teenager
You Are a Messenger |
 You are a great communicator and quite persuasive too. And to be honest, your also a bit of a gossip. You like to know what's going on with people. You can deliver almost any message to anyone, and they'll take it better coming from you. In modern times, you would make a good journalist or diplomat. |
Aaaaaahahaha.
I have really amazing friends. That became more apparent this weekend.
I don't know. It's cool having people who will sing along to "Anastasia" with me and call just to help me on a jigsaw puzzle. No, seriously, that actually happened.
So being alone is cool. But I probably wouldn't make it very far if I couldn't see my friends every day.
Or at least 5 times a week.
This is me!!!!!
You Are a Carousel |
 You are young at heart and a truly playful person. No one would ever accuse you of taking life too seriously. You are definitely in things for the fun. You find joy easily, and you are often building up anticipation for your next adventure. In relationships, you tend to want to be babied and taken care of. And while you may be a bit high maintenance, you are incredibly loyal. Your life is simple and satisfying. Each day you treat yourself to something you enjoy. You have a lot of emotional attachments, and experiences are extra vivid to you. You tend to be nostalgic and sentimental. The past is important to you. Comfortable around all living things, you have a special connection to animals and children. At your best, you are whimsical, free spirited, and creative. Even if your schemes seem a bit strange, they usually work out wonderfully. At your worst, you are spoiled, demanding, and impossible to satisfy. You've been known to act like a brat if you aren't getting your way! |
Kristine and I watched "Sense and Sensibility" last night. Kristine thought it was amazing. And it IS! All women want Colonel Brandon. He's attentive. He's mature. He's romantic. HE WALKED 5 AND A HALF MILES IN THE POURING RAIN TO FIND MARIANNE, AND THEN CARRIED ALL THE WAY HOME!
"Anastasia" is my favorite Disney princess. Besides Belle. Except Meg Ryan is sort of irritating and flaky. But still. It's a musical, Dimitri's hot, there's a funny white bat, Pooka is adorable...what more could you want?
I mean, besides plot and historical accuracy.
Aaaaagh, boys. A bunch of my friends had boy drama...INVOLVING THE SAME BOY. >:(
And if we're "just friends", why are you marking your territory around me? If you don't want to have a girlfriend, that's find with me. Just stop sending mixed signals. Because if I got with someone else, it would be COMPLETELY justified.
I don't know. Weird stuff is happening. And Valentine's Day is coming up, and people are making a HUGE deal about it. I don't actively hate it...I'm just not thrilled about it. The candy is great...but watching them pass out roses you will never get isn't. I don't know, no matter how thick your shell is, it hurts every time.
Wow, that sounded way jaded and self-absorbed.
From the diary of some unloved girl who fights to hide how she feels.
"I'm pretty jaded, and I've got a tuph shell, but I don't know, man. They just don't know what's inside."
Have at it, Mr. Darcy. Seriously, go for it. You're a lot cooler than one would think.

To help get my mind off Michael Moscotivz and Christian Bale...
You Feel at Peace With Your Family |
 You get along with everyone in your family, and you tend to play the peacemaker. You can see issues from all sides. You feel like your family is prone to too many arguments and instability. You never feel like things can be completely peaceful. While your parents made mistakes, you forgive them and accept them for who they are. You get teased a lot by your family. You usually don't mind being the butt of jokes, but sometimes you feel picked on. |
You Should Make 3 Resolutions |

Christmas: Only marred by Classic Crime and snowplows
All in all, a very good Christmas.
Except for arriving home and finding the snow plows had FINALLY cleared the snow off our streets.
And then pushed it all in front of our driveway.
No joke.
Every other driveway in the cul-de-sac was clear...except for ours.
Right. Thanks, guys. Merry Christmas!
Morons.
Maybe it was someone we know...but who did we tick off?
Boycott love...detox just to retox.
Heheh, I actually got stuff I wanted, and some surprises that were welcomed.
"ACROSS THE UNIVERSE" SOUNDTRACK!!
I hate the Beatles...but I love their music.
Does that make sense?
Ugh, Classic Crime.
The Silver Cord sucks. Albatross was pretty cool, not exactly new or hardhitting, but a nice semi-indie band with a great frontman. And hey, they were from Seattle! Kudos!
And then people (possibly over-excited Christian music fans who would gobble up anything with clean lyrics and possible Christian members, and/or Tooth and Nail execs) started telling this band how much they loved them, how cool they were, and how "edgy" and "hardcore" their music was.
And then the Classic Crime took all these comments super seriously and spent a couple years writing songs for their new album.
And these songs seem like the writers were trying REALLY hard to be "edgy", "hardcore", and "obscure".
Sadly, ALL THE SONGS SOUND THE SAME!!
Fall Out Boy's new album was a little weird at first listening, but at least every track had something different.
Listening to "The Silver Cord" was like slogging through an hour's worth of pain, misery, and angst.
The only exception was "5805", which was quirky and pretty unique, up until the chorus.
The melody of "5805" and "Salt in the Snow" are identical.
I no longer support you, Matt McDonald.

White-coated ninja stalks at night
It's 35 degrees outside, which is supposedly WARMER than the past few days, but the weathermen neglected to tell us all about the wind chill factor.
So, in actuality, it's 5 degrees outside.
Is it really that weird to be able to drink a milkshake in snowy weather? Hot cocoa just isn't the same.
Francesca Lia Block keeps blowing me away. "Necklace of Kisses" is somehow better than "Baby Be-Bop", the best of the Weetzie Bat books.
AND THEY'RE MAKING A MOVIE!
We got at least 3 more inches of snow, and it's been snowing off and on (but it's also been raining and sleeting, so the chances of us getting any more snow today are low).
Church has been cancelled - again.
That's twice this week. GET BEHIND ME, SATAN! I have Jesus on my side!!
And Meg and Jack White, but they don't count nearly as much.
It doesn't seem like Christmas Eve, but it most definitely is. We couldn't wait till this evening, so the 5 of us got up early and opened our presents.
Aha, I have cellphone!! Finally!!
And it's green.
Someone made a book of some of the best lolcatz. It's pretty funny.
Halp! I'm in ur cupz...soaking up your teaz.
I also got "Folie a Deux" and "The Silver Cord" - at last.
"Folie a Deux" is pretty good. Yes, that's the extent of my musical commentary. Because saying, "Oh my gosh, Patrick has SUCH an amazing voice and Joe is SOOOO good at guitar and that one song was AWESOME!" seems to carry just about as much meaning.
I'm pretty musically retarded.
Or at least musically close-minded.
Or close-minded in general. Hey, Republican.

Ninjas strike back
AAAAAAAAAH we're allowed to open our Christmas presents TOMORROW!!! I can't WAIT!
Even though I KNOW I'm getting a cellphone, but I didn't pick it out or anything, so who knows?
Emma got one, too, and it's already being put to good use.
8 days, 6 h, 18m, and 29s till the New Year!
Chinese food and family time...yay...some things never change.
Hopefully a certain cousin won't get to pick all of the food this time.
We want sweet and sour pork!!
William's probably going to hate his presents.
My dad and I have to go on a shopping mission after dinner. He hasn't gotten anything for my mom yet.
He calls our neighbors "The Tony's" because he doesn't want to ask their last name.
But he gave them all of our cheese bread. Now he's finished with holiday baking.
Dang. Those were good macaroons.

You Spread Some Holiday Cheer |
 You do your best to give time, money, and joy during the holidays. You don't always spread cheer to everyone, but you do the best. Unlike most people, you actually spend time reflecting on the meaning of the holidays. And you worry more about doing the right thing than getting the right presents. |

False!!
You Are Biscotti |
 You are a very direct, honest person. You don't have time for dramatics or emotional pleas. You feel most comfortable in the intellectual realm, especially with science and technology. You are good at understanding difficult subjects. Understanding people? Not so much. |
"Intellectual" is probably one of that last words people would use to describe me.
Without really meaning to, I've become extremely excited about the upcoming "Sims 3". It doesn't even come out till February.
What would you most like for Christmas?
Twelve drummers drumming.
No, really.
That would be amazing.
We now have 9 and a half inches of snow, the most we've seen in this area for...9 years?? Ha. Alexis and I went sledding yesterday, then made a not-so-successful snow fort out of sleds, packed snow, and manpower.
2 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS EVE! 3 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS!!
You are Multicolored Lights |
 Your holidays are a time for cheer and excitement. You love so much about the holidays, and everyone perks up a little from your happiness. You try to be grateful for what you have this time of the year. Even if things have been tough, you can't help but be joyful. |

Christmas time is here!!
You Are Milk |
 Your holiday personality is innocent. The holidays make you feel like a kid all over again. You love every part of the holidays, and you anticipate Christmas morning. You enjoy getting presents as much as you did when you were young! |
You Can Say "Merry Christmas" in 13 Languages |
 You can say "Merry Christmas" in: English Spanish Japanese French Arabic German Italian Swedish Portuguese Greek Hawaiian Korean Esperanto |

I want to wash my hair in snow
Shampoo works better, but that's okay.
I woke up this morning to a beautiful snowy neighborhood. The view out my window looked like a Thomas Kinkaid painting.
Did anyone else have a psycho 4th grade teacher who LOVED Thomas Kinkaid and forced her students to copy his paintings?
Wasn't it so lame that if you didn't make your painting look EXACTLY like his, you got a low grade?
Sorry SOME of us aren't as artistically talented as others.
And this man has been painting forever. It's not like a couple 4th graders are going to do a perfect job of copying his paintings.
"I've only seen paintings of this painting!"
So yeah, I'm not bitter or anything.
But anyway, as sinful as it sounds, I really DID NOT want to go to church today, and was convinced that the snow meant there would BE no church.
But no. There was church. The snow was just a ruse.
Sigh.
Then we were at a family Christmas party up on Fox Island and it started snowing really heavily and William and I were so PUMPED. NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!!! WOOOO!!!
And then we got home and found all of OUR snow melted and gone.
The Suicide Hotline didn't answer my frantic phone call. How depressing.
Tie loved the snow, unlike Oggy, who detested it. She was frolicking around in the backyard, licking up mouthfuls and writing her name in colorful excrement.
I'm writing my English essay on the focus on male relationships in both "Night" and "Swing Kids". I hope Mr. Rosendale doesn't think I'm referring to homoerotic overtones scholars are so convinced they've found in other examples of literature, such as "Romeo and Juliet" (also titled "Romeo and Mercutio").
At least no one else will have done this topic.
But I might be surprised.
The family Christmas party wasn't so bad. Everyone spent a lot of time gazing adorably at baby Riley and there was a lot of good food.
I always feel out of place in our family, though. I'm thinking it's because of the dark hair. Almost everyone in my extended family (on my mom's side, anyway) has blonde hair and blue eyes, except for a few people only related by marriage. But they're all so perfect-Aryan and Scandinavian that I feel like hiding with my dark-haired father and siblings in a corner.
I feel like I've tainted the gene pool.
Actually, it's my dad who's tainted the gene pool.
And my relatives aren't pyscho Nazis, but I feel OUT OF PLACE. People can't tell I'm related to my mom, or my grandparents, or my cousins.
THEY'RE TRYING TO SET ME UP WITH MY SECOND COUSIN! At least I think he's my second cousin. Something like that.
I really hope they don't believe in arranged marriage.
Aaagh.
But if I did marry him, we probably shouldn't have kids.
They'll taint the gene pool.

The 10 worst Christmas songs of all time
My family helped me compose this list. You have to admit, these songs are annoying.
10. All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth
I'm not even sure that's correct grammar. And it's not cute. It's obnoxious.
9. It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
Not only is hard to sing, but the piercing high notes hurt my ear drums.
8. This Christmas
Every year, my dad pulls out this ancient "Jazzy Wonderland" CD with this song on it. Sort of makes me want to barf.
7. Christmas in the Northwest
There's no such thing as Christmas in the Northwest, sweetie.
6. My Grown-Up Christmas List
This song has been redone a billion times, too, to "My Grown-Up Christmas Prayer" and "My Prayer For All the World".
World peace? That's a pretty tall order for the man in Red.
5. Christmas Time Is Here
It was bad enough when the Peanuts did it in their annoying falsetto voices. And then Leigh Nash had to ruin it with her terrible wannabe-country voice. And it's creepy.
4. The Christmas Shoes
The little boy wants to buy some shoes for his momma! She's sick and he wants her to look pretty when she meets Jesus in heaven.
It sounds like one of those forwarded stories on the internet. Why oh why would I want to sing this in church?
3. What Child is This?
It's was originally called "Greensleeves" and had nothing to do with the baby Jesus until someone changed the lyrics.
2. Mary, Did You Know?
OF COURSE SHE KNEW!! What a stupid question. Not even Clay Aiken can save this one.
And now, the worst Christmas song of all time....
.....
.....
.....
.....
1. The Little Drummer Boy
It's not touching, it's annoying. Make it stop. Parump-pa-pa-pum.

And of course there are so many more that could've (and should've) been added, but I can't think of any of them.

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.

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.
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.

You Should Be a Angel for Halloween |
 According to our quiz, you'd make an ideal angel. Your runner up costume: Cat |

Butter my butt and call me a biscuit
Happy Mole Day!
Mr. Rosendale says we're born with 100 God-given exclamation points and we should use them wisely.
But we didn't know this until now, so we all get a clean slate.
They killed Lennie!
It was completely out of the blue. "And I get to tend the rabbits..." BANG!
Gary Sinise can't act.
That's for sure.
Today was better. Thank goodness it was a Thursday.
We're having a Halloween party in French, but not on Halloween.
No, we're having it on Wednesday.
"Young Blades" was such a cool show.
It was also a completely historically inaccurate and crappily written (and acted) show, but hey.
IT ONLY HAD 13 EPISODES BEFORE IT WAS CANCELLED!
That's sad.
Well, THAT murder was justified.
But no others.
The pictures of Helen of Troy are never that pretty.

You Are 35% Hyper |
 You aren't exactly hyper, but no one would accuse you of being lazy either. You have enough drive to get everything done - with energy to spare. You don't get overly worked up or rushed. You'll happily take your time. And you definitely enjoy your down time. You can only be hyper for so long. Unlike more hyper types, you don't have a ton of interests and friends. You prefer concentrating on what matters to spreading yourself too thin. |
That's for sure.

Tinglies in that silly place
"It's the most horrible feeling! It tickles in all the wrong ways!"
"This wouldn't happen if you weren't so fat."
That's an annoying feeling. It feels pretty good, but when it comes, you're like, "Oh no, not that again."
Sometimes I wonder if guys and girls are REALLY meant to be together. Because guys anger girls by being weird and not communicating, and girls anger guys by being clingy and needy and OVERcommunicating, and you never really get a rhythm going.
But then girl-girl relationships usually involve INTENSE jealousy and guy-guy relationships lack commitment (in most cases, anyway).
So it's like we should all become amoebas and reproduce asexually.
Seriously. The world would be SO much better off.
Trust me, I know where I stand.
Ha, that's funny.
Oh dear, that is...NOT that comforting.
Don't you hate if when your mom buys tons of delicious food and won't let you eat any of it?
I'm sort of pumped for Homecoming. The game, not the dance. Our football team is going to lose, but we're playing "I Saw Her Standing There"!! Yeah!!
If someone does something inconsequential and somehow gets in trouble for it, that's unjust.
But when they do it again just to prove a point, they deserve it.
But that's just me.

You Should Maybe Be Allowed to Vote |
 You got 10/15 questions correct. You're somewhat in the know, but you're not as informed as you think you are. Your political information is a little old or incorrect. Consider studying up a bit before you cast you vote! You want to make sure you know where you stand. |
Trust me, I know where I stand.
You Should Be a Ghost |
 You are seen as shy and introverted. You like to blend in... or disappear. You see Halloween as the day you can sit back and enjoy what other people are doing. You don't scare all that easily on Halloween. If anything, you tend to scare people. You don't try to be scary, but you do tend to lurk around and catch people by surprise. |
Ha, that's funny.

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.

I parked your car because I'm NICE!
Okay, so I love Fourth of July and everything, but it was REALLY NICE to take a break from the annual family reunion picnic and stay home for a while.
Seriously. I spent maybe 3 hours at the picnic and then went home and watched movies with Tie and my Dad.
It was kind of weird being home alone, but Tie was sedated, therefore cooperative, and Dad came home early, and with him was a pizza he'd made at work.
Then we watched "Last Holiday" and "Material Girls" and both movies kind of sucked.
"Last Holiday" wasn't too bad, because Queen Latifah is the best, but it was SOOOOO cheesy.
And, you know, "Material Girls" was...yeah.
I'm reading some writing I did like last year or something, and it doesn't suck. It's sort of suffering from Paolinitis, but it's really NOT HORRIBLE, and that makes me pretty happy.
Heh. Silas.
"Last Comic Standing" and "The Baby Borrowers" make TV pretty fun to watch.
On TBB, my mom totally hated Morgan, but I kind of knew where she was coming from. We both hated Alicea, though; what is her problem? Etta was SOO CUTE. But that weird guy kept calling the babies "bugs"? "Okay, now take your little bug..."
LCS last week made me SOOOO mad. They chose 4 of the least funny people from the entire group and let them go through. Especially Jeff Dye and that blonde guy. HATE! But Paul Foot is rather hilarious. This week was better. Louis got a standing ovation,a nd Eliza Sussinger made it, which made me happy. I like Esther Ku, but my mom despises her because she's not very "experience". Whatever, she's funny.
