hey! well I stumbled across this website and I thought I would just share it here for anybody that happens to look at my page out of extreme boredom. the water drop gives 6 days access to clean water to people that need it, the green pepper thing helps a village to feed itself, the book gives 2 days access to education, and the coins finance a $100 loan for a day. so go crazy with clicks everybody!

yeah so in case you haven't noticed (but of course you did), I haven't been online in quite some time. that is because of a little class I like to call ENGLISH. I can see you shivering now. I have to write four papers about this book I read called The Joy Luck Club and I'm already done with two and a half of them so I guess it won't take me too much time tonight. I'm gonna freak out once I've finished writing the very last word of my very last paper though. I wish I had a mic built into my computer so I could make voice posts. I would definitely have some fun with those. even though it would take me about a million and a half years to figure out how to do that. but I just bet you're all dying to hear my voice. NOT. I hate how I sound on electronic stuff though. I don't think it sounds like me at all. I have a really stupid voice when I hear it on videos and stuff. OH speaking of videos I was on my school video that was broadcast throughout the entire school today. I just had to stand there with my group of friends and say "I am not alone." because it was a video about suicide awareness and we had to show people that they're not alone. even though over half the people on the video were alone when they said that. oh well... it was pretty sad though. they had a slideshow of the faces of everybody in our district that's killed themselves recently and it went on for like a whole minute. I hadn't realized our district had so many suicides. there's been about five in the past four years I think. it's pretty bad. and they're all from this one high school. GUESS WHAT. my district blocked Google Images!!! and you know why?!? because some stupid kid was looking up turtle porn. who does that? haha but you'd think the person that caught him looking at turtle porn would know that he was kidding since no human has ever been interested in turtles in THAT way. haha ok well thank you for allowing me to use you as a stalling device in order to stay away from my ENGLISH papers. I'll be seeing you these next two weeks though because I'm off!!! I can't wait till Christmas!!!

I couldn't figure out how to put it on my LJ cuz I don't think it's possible so you'll just have to look at the link. but it's really really awesome!!!

the little questions that are on the main page

whoa this is crazy stuff! AIM is slowly taking over the world... please let me know if this shows up for you or not cuz it's not showing up for me.

I'm just exploring the "embed" thing... haha this is a clip that I love from the TV show "Scrubs" on NBC. That show is amazing and if you haven't seen it then I suggest you rent seasons 1-5 but not season 6 because that season sucks. I'm not too sure how season 7 is this year because I've been watching Grey's Anatomy instead but my brother said it's really good so I guess I'll take his word for it.

By the way, for those of you that care, my mousetrap car (with the bloodstain) placed first in my class with a distance of 75 feet and second in my class with a 5 meter time of 3.53 seconds! Let the celebration begin! Oh and if you're wondering where this snazzy layout came from then just direct your attention to the post below this one. Unless of course you're not one of my friends in which case you can't see the post because Sara is afraid of being stalked.

Wow so when I first got this journal, I was all excited and telling everybody that I would be posting in it everyday... Well that didn't happen. But honestly it's because my life isn't really exciting. Too much of it is taken up by school and homework to be exciting. I suppose I could tell you about all of my problems in life since that's what a journal is for right? Like for example my really cool pencil just ran out of its eraser so now I have to rely on a bigger eraser that isn't small enough to erase accurately and then everything gets smudged. PLUS, this annoying girl at my table took it and stabbed it with a pencil so now there's this piece of lead stuck in it which really defeats its purpose. so now I have to use the other side of it except I don't want to use the other side because it has the company's name written on it and I don't want to mess up the writing. I can't exactly go to Target though to get a new cool pencil because it's snowing outside and I'm not completely confident in my driving skills yet - even though I've had my license for a total of six months - and even though Target is about ten minutes away at the most. LIFE IS SO HARD. Okay see you guys? This is one of those very rare entries I was talking about where I wouldn't be serious at all. Ooh you know what? I think I'm gonna do one of those famous LJ cut things... let's see if this works. 

Okay so after many hours of hard labor, my REAL friend and I accomplished the task of making a car that is powered by a mousetrap. Well actually I'm not too sure if it works yet because we're still waiting for the glue to dry. But of course it works since I was a part of its creation. Anyway, for your convenience, I took a few pictures of our masterpiece - mostly so I can try to figure out how to post photos on here, but also so you can appreciate me a little more.


If you look closely enough, you might notice a little red spot toward the end of that rectangle... kinda like the color of blood. Yeah, well I sliced my thumb open on one of those stupid metal poles and now I'm wearing two band-aids since I bled through the first one. I just thought I should tell you guys this so you know the emotional trauma I experienced today.

This had to have been the fastest week of my life. And it was all spent thinking about the loads of homework I'll have to do at the end of it. I think I also broke my record for how long I was able to stay up - 3:00 in the morning. Yeah I know that's like nothing compared to some of you people who live on AIM all night long but it's really late for me. At least I had fun, though. To those of you who have grown accustomed to me talking on AIM all night long, I apologize for the fact that it won't be happening again until four weeks from now when it's WINTER BREAK!!! Even though we all know it'll happen next weekend. It just makes me feel better to falsely believe that I have any self control whatsoever. Because if I did have self control, I wouldn't be posting here right now. Instead, I would be reading and analyzing 70 pages from The Joy Luck Club, building my physics mousetrap car, writing a paper about five changes that can be made to improve the fuel economy, writing another paper analyzing the impact that women have on men through the use of a play and a movie, finishing my problem set, researching Pilates for PE, and making an outline for my history paper. As you may have noticed, none of that is happening. But in my defense, my physics mousetrap partner hasn't been answering her cell phone and my parents don't even believe she's real. BUT SHE IS. Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go call her again and then eat a PB&J sandwich.

Welcome to my LJ everybody! I'm so glad I can be like all of you now and fit in to society. Okay well I just want to make one thing clear here. Some of my posts will be serious (well at least as serious as I can make them) and others will be just plain phony and weird. And then eventually I'll forget about LJ, despite what Cindy says, and never post here again. But you will ALWAYS come back and check for updates because that's how addicted to me you will be. So if you don't want to be an update-hungry, desperate, wallowing-in-self-pity, tear-stricken victim in the future then I suggest you don't read this. In fact, I'm not quite sure if anybody will be reading this anyway. Oh well, more for me then. I guess in honor of my first post, I should probably tell you a little bit about myself. Even though the only people that would possibly be reading this are ones that know me very well already. At least I hope so. Well, for starters, I've lived in Illinois my whole life. I would say that it's pretty boring, except I just heard a quote the other day about how you're really the boring one if you say that the place you live in is boring, so I'm not going to say that. I live in the most fun and amazing and smart and sensitive place in the world. Yeah, take that you stupid quote. I do really like the fact that I can go to Chicago anytime I please. And the fact that there's a Dairy Queen less than a mile away and a Target less than five miles away. Those are probably my two favorite places to go. Oh, and I like Starbucks. By the way, the only reason I'm typing properly in this LJ is because Firefox feels the need to put a red line under every misspelled or incorrectly punctuated word I use and it gets really annoying so I'm giving in to education - THIS TIME. Huh, that's interesting, Firefox doesn't count "Firefox" as a misspelled word even though I'm pretty sure I've never seen that in the dictionary. How prejudiced can a browser get? Ugh, sorry, back to talking about myself. That's the problem with blogs - there isn't anybody there to stop you when you're getting completely annoying and random. I kinda remind myself of Shonda and her blog that she writes after every episode of Grey's, and how annoyed I get when I really just want to hear about the characters but instead she's going off on tangents about how she goes off on so many tangents, and I'm like "yeah I realized that when every single sentence you said had nothing to do with Grey's Anatomy" but she just keeps on going and going. Another thing you might notice is that none of my posts will be flashy or high-tech since I'm still trying to figure this whole thing out. So have fun reading this boring, black Arial font for a while. I'm just sitting here waiting for my laptop to give up on me after writing this small novel. Hey, guess what everybody... my laptop has only 20 GB of space! That's not how much space it has left - that's how much it came with. I just found that out the other day. It's even less than my iPod! No wonder I had to delete everything but Microsoft Word and the internet in order to keep it running. You know what I decided? I think I'm going to post Alien Cristina on here. I will share my vision with the world. Don't be surprised if you start seeing some of my Alien Cristina story lines on the real Grey's Anatomy... I can already tell that they're headed in the direction of revealing Webber's TRUE skin color. Wow I kinda wish I could write papers as fast and easily as I can write boring blogs. Way to keep me up until 1:00 in the morning again you guys! And this time you did it without even talking to me. Congratulations on ruining my sleeping schedule! I'm officially nocturnal.
