If you're wondering if I want you to

This song will not leave my head. River Cuomo's voice keeps repeating this one line that goes, "Girl, if you're wondering if I want you to, I want you to! I swear it's true, without you my heart is blue...."

I've gotten really into Weezer lately, oh, and Metric. Both on them are on complete ends of the music spectrum but still amazing. Hmm, well there isn't much to say...oh! But Bones starts again this Thursday and then a new Degrassi on Friday! This week looks promising. My school has two meets too, one on Thursday, one Saturday, it's going to be pretty exciting.

Sorry I'm not my usual rambling self, I'm just way too tired for comfort and soon I may find out why. The doctors think there's something wrong with me so I have to get my blood drawn, again. That or they enjoy repeatedly subjecting me to blood tests. I think they're vampires. I mean really, what do they do with all that blood once the tests have been ran?

The world may never know...

Psycho

Okay I've officially gone through an entire box of tissues and also a little travel pack with pictures of Snoopy on it. I'm halway through a new box, delightful, huh? Oh the joys of being sick. My voice is getting better though. I woke up this morning the sound of my mother's laughter as small paws eagerly trampled over my face. "It's already five thirty, you over-slept," she tells me, so I scoot the dog aside and sit up and open my mouth to tell her thanks for waking me up but I can't utter a sound.

Well, actually, that's a lie. I manage this pathetic, hoarse whisper. Alarmed by my lack of voice and ability to breath through my nose she ordered me back to bed. I can actually talk now but it's much easier to whisper. Ugh, I'd rather be at school. It's such a beautiful day, being stuck inside watching old, black-and-white serial killer movies isn't what I had in mind for the start of my weekend. But oh well, that's life. We're having a garage sale tomorrow for my friend, Brittany. It's a long story but I think it'll be fun. Anyway I have to go and post flyers before my parents come home and see that i'm not curled up the covers.

Bye for now.

Mystery Meats

Today during lunch somehow we ended up discussing what pepperoni and salami were made of. So, naturally, having been raised mostly in the twenty-first century, I googled it. Finally, the answer! Waverly Smithers was right, since she said they were made of pork. Salami is made of pork, while Pastrami is made of beef, and Pepperoni is made of beef and pork. Fascinating, huh?
The we were talking about what was made from pigs, like ham, bacon, and well, pork. sausage is made of beef though, oh haha and according to google it's also made of pork. Smithers, you win =]

Snow Mission

I was going to write about my snow mission (which is really my game of Call of Duty from a few days ago) but I have to go soon, so I'll post it later.
Before I go here's a shout out to Kumquat!! She was the one thousandth viewer on Secret Agent Time, I love you Kumquat =] haha

Time to Pretend

MGMT's got some really great, revolutionary songs, like Time to Pretend, but they kind of lost it after their album Oracular Spectacular.

Anyway hi, sorry it's been so long since I've posted I've been way too busy. Hmmm I have some freakishl bug or something. I refuse to call it a cold, if I admit it's a cold then I'll have to admit I'm sick and that really can't happen when the first Track meet of the season starts in two weeks. So for now I have a freakish bug-thing.

My nose is all stuffed up and my throat's sore but that's really all...I don't have fever or headache or anything, I think that's good, I hope it'll go away soon.

It's really nice outside today. The sun is shinning, birds are singing, and the clouds are light and fluffy. No signs of rain whatsoever. I kind of wish it wouldn't be so pretty, if it were stormy and gloomy then I'd have an excuse for being holed up inside all day. Oh well. Oh so it's not just my freakish-bug that's causing me to shy away from the outside world, my parents went to Vegas for the weekend so I'm not allowed to go anywhere or hangout with anyone. I get to stay inside and be taunted by such beautiful weather...I'm suddenly looking forward to Monday.

Yesterday my brother and I were hanging out (inside) and he brought up a very good point. The difference between North California and South California is scary. Like Northern Californians say 'hella' in place of the words very or really. For example:

"That's hella funny" or "It was hella scary"

It drives most Southern Californians (for those who don't know I'm from SoCal) crazy. We also differenciate ourselves even further by classifying eachother as SoCal and NorCal. Can't we just all be one big California? I don't know. I have this bad feeling that we're going to end up like Dakota and split into two seperate states. Then we'd have fifty-one states...unless North and South Dakota decide to resolve their issues and become one state, though I doubt that'll happen.

Oh! So random new topic, you know how Tim Burton puts Johnny Depp in all of his movies because they're best friends? I've noticed something. He likes using another actor, well actress, regularly. Helena Bonham Carter, she and Burton are dating and have two kids together...I think. She's been in Fight Club, Wallace & Grommit, and Harry Potter. Then the other day I was watching Sweeney Todd and realized she plays Mrs. Lovett. A day after that I was watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and saw that she plays Charlie's mom. She's also going to play The Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland.

I thought that was kind of cool, I never noticed how many movies she was in before untill now. So, I guess that's all, I have a story to tell about a recent mission, but I'll put it on a different post.

Goodbye for now.

It's Complicated

Ah, who doesn't love the art of understanding the opposite sex? It seems to be everywhere lately-love, I mean. It could be due to the coming month of February. Did you know it was spelt with two R's? I still find that very, very strange.

Ew! I just ate a yellow M&M and it tasted like fish...not cool. Anyway I have a theory I think Winter is the season of liking, not the beginning but the end of it, it's the time where people start to develop crushes and what not and by the time spring comes it's blossumed into love.

Ohmygosh! Okay so I tried giving the yellow M&Ms another chance so I ate one more and I'm ninety nine point nine percent sure that the taste of greasy fish is now permanently stuck in my mouth. Ew, ew, ew. All the others taste normal, I think I'm going to stick to those.

Oh, so back on topic girls are always complaining about how guys don't make sense and are impossible to understand and guys always complain about how complicated and strange girls are. Stop trying to crack the code! Maybe that's truly whats driving both genders mad. Maybe we should stop trying to figure out one another and just enjoy people as they are. Less time analyzing and more time socializing and maybe then, just maybe wil we get a true understanding of one another.

But hey, just a thought. I have to go scrape the fish taste off my tongue...so gross! Bye for now,

Love,

Death to Smoochie

Those bastards. Has anyone ever heard of traingle rubber-bands for braces? They're rubber bands that connect your top teeth to your bottom ones. Everytime I see some one with those I'm always curious about how it feels and how they're able to eat.

My Orthodontist put those on me today. I now know. Guess what? It's a pain. The amount of effort it takes me to eat a cookie now is very undesirable. I have to take them off and put new ones on everyday and I have to take them off before eating then put then on afterwards, lunch at school's going to be a hassle. When I got home I decided to experiment and see if I could eat something small, like a bite-sized Teddy Grahm. This does not work. I repeat-do not try at home.

I can't fully open my mouth all the way with the rubber bands on so I had to suck on it...that's what she said...haha sorry I've been watching The Office way too much lately. Anyway it's a pain but I'm always up for a new challenge. So there's a bright side after all.

Oh and then halfway through the appointment the assistent orthodontist was taking out my old wires inorder to put new ones in. When he started to put in the news ones something was wrong with my back bracket and the wire wouldn't go in all the way, so instead of stopping and checking to see what was wrong with it he continiously pushed the wire which caused it to slip and impail the inside of my cheek. It's as fun as it sounds, trust me.

So while my cheek was being stabbed as a distraction I began thinking of the do's and don'ts of rubber band colors. Like one time I'd gone with orange because for some reason I thought it would look cute. Orange is a definete don't. After a few days it fades and makes your teeth look yellow. Green's okay but I'd stay away from black, in my opinion it makes it look like you have a bunch of oreo cookie stuck in your teeth.

That's by itself I mean, black actually looks really good when paired with other colors like green or orange. I've never actually tried red but it looks good on others. Um personally I like blues and purples they match alot of things and the colors just stand out more. I tried pink once, that wasn't too bad either.

Thats pretty much all. I had alot more to say but fortunately for you I can't remember. It'll come to me sooner or later. Oh! Just remembered...haha.

My computer's being even weirder now...if that's even possible. When I turn it on a little message pops up saying that the USB drive that I've inserted isn't recognized, but the only thing inserted in my USB drive is my internet connector. So I clicked on update and it said my version was already up to date but it still wasn't recognized which meant I wasn't getting internet.

I disconnected then re-connected it but still nothing. I did that a few more times then my computer says that I need to replace the USB drive, which really is no bueno. Finally, I disconnected it then re-connected it one last time, fingers crossed and then I heard a little beeping noise and my internet was working again!

I'd take my lovely dinosaur into the computer doctor but they're expensive and they've fixed it for me a few times already...I guess I'll just figure this one out on my own and hope nothing explodes.
Wish me luck!
