Je t'aime, Paris!

I want to get lost in Paris. I'm sure it would be a crazy place to get lost in but it would be an opportunity to practice my French beast skills. There is so much history in Paris. Not only the museums, architecture, and monuments, but the culture as well. I would meet a lot of interesting people, handsome french men, and I would eat delicious food!! Ahh, c'est la vie!

First Woman President

The country would surely be a better place if I was president. I would put an end to the new health care program for sure. I want to make it clear that I am not a radical, right-winged, nut job republican. I am a Libertarian. SOME people in this class think I am. I just don't want government intervention in anything except protecting people. I would try to end this war as quickly as possible while still securing victory. I would legalize marijuana (for medical use), gay marriage, and possession of fire arms in all states...along with other things. I'm all about freedom. Sure, people would be unhappy with the amount of freedom I give people. Some may say the country would be full of complete and utter anarchy. I don't care though. I have a right to my opinions and I demonstrate the American tradition of speaking my mind. America under President Elizabeth Brown would be freaking AWESOME!!! (Perhaps free ice cream Fridays could be a new law!!!)

My own holiday...

My holiday would be Hate Day. It would be a day that you could be mean to anyone and everyone for no reason. As long as you don't severely injure or kill someone, everything is excused. Mental and psychological injuries don't count. So if you ridicule someone so much that they want to commit suicide, it's not your fault. It's their choice. Mwuhahahahahaahahahahaha!

Cone of Snow

I'm still new to this "snow cone" thing. Where I'm from, we have snowballs. They're better. The flavors are better and of a better consistency. The ice is smoother but doesn't melt too fast. There was this one flavor that I really liked and I think it was called "Tiger's Blood". That's my flavor. It sounds vulgar but it was soooo good. It was sweet and had a hint of citrus and fruit flavors. I can't explain it. It brings back fond memories of my life in Louisiana. My family and I would go down to the shore of Lake Pontchartrain.... (gazes into the distance thinking of her childhood)

It's almost over.

After today, I have 4 A-days and 5 B-days left of school. It feels great to be almost done with school. The next 2 weeks will be a breeze but sad. They will be my last weeks of high school. I don't have much more time here in Texas. My mom wants to move by late June. On the bright side, less than 3 weeks until I go to Europe!!! I got my itinerary in the mail yesterday! Among the many places I'll go to with my best friend are Pisa (with the leaning tower), the Vatican and Sistine Chapel, various wine villages of South France, Verona (does that ring a bell....Romeo and Juliet perhaps?), Roman coliseums, the Swiss Alps, and a boat tour of the Rhine River in Germany. OHHHHH MYYYYY GOODNESS! fveialjrhg jrafhjaw. <----that's a perfect example of my spazmaticness. :)

Quote of the day...

A quote that describes me today is "You can't always get what you want, but if try sometimes, you might find you can get what you need." Mick Jagger really knew what he was talking about. For a long time, I have been focused on getting what I need. I don't feel like I need much in life. That's all I have to say for now. Today is ...abnormal day.

My last day...

It would really suck if today was my last day on Earth. Because that means that I've already wasted most of it at school. First thing I would do is escape school with all my friends. I don't care if I have to hitch hike or walk with my own two feet. Then we would have a rave! I would have a ton of monster and highly caffeinated beverages. I would serve all the most delicious foods....gummy bears, chocolate, ice cream, etc. I would also criticize every person that I don't like. I will speak my mind and let them know how foolish they are...perhaps even get back at them by pulling pranks. I would make sure it was the best day of my life. I'll do all the things I ever dreamed of doing. Then in the last moments of my time on Earth, I will say goodbye to those that I love and care about. This is kind of starting to get depressing. I'm going to end it here before it gets even more sad.

Rule #12: Don't be a hero

My hero is Robert Downey Jr. . That's mostly because he's a great actor that rose from the dark pits of addiction to drugs and alcohol. He's also Iron Man!! Every movie I've seen with him has been fantastic! If I could go on a hot air balloon expedition with him, I would have a baby heart attack and then be a total spaz. I think we would have a lot to talk about. What a grand idea!

L-O-V-E

I really can't tell you what love is. Part of me feels that it's just a silly feeling people have but then I also think it's a connection between people that can't even compare to any other. I have unconditional love for my family and that's about it. Love keeps people going when nothing else is going right. In the end though, I can't even explain it. I guess what I said was a good enough answer... :/

This is kind of off topic but what's with all the random Chinese comments on my blog...I'm confused. It's fun to see what they say though. Comments anyone?

CANDYYY!

If I was a candy bar, I would be Twix. It's a combination of 3 of the best things: chocolate, caramel. and a cookie. I think I'm a combination of good qualities so I believe it's appropriate that I'm a yummy candy bar. Thinking of this makes me really want to eat a Twix bar. Yum!

free write....make up

So I'm making up a journal right now. I was gone on an Anatomy and Physiology field trip. It was cool. We went to the Body Exhibition in Dallas. It was like body worlds...just not as big of an exhibit. But I learned some neat information. Did you know that if you smoke one pack of cigarettes, it takes away over 3 hours of your life? I'm glad I don't smoke.

Video games

If my life were a video game, not only would that be AMAZING, but that means I could choose my foe that I must conquer. I can think of no one better than Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana. Her nasal voice makes me want to gnaw my fingers off, disembowel myself with those detached fingers, and then hang myself with my intestines. Lovely right? The game would be all about destroying all of her music and in the final scene you have to kill her using her CDs as shurikens and missle weapons. Pretty beastly. Game Over.

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs

How friggin amazing would that be!? It's like a story out of Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs, without the meatballs. I suppose I would start a farm for the root beer cows, and then I'd cross those cows with milk cows with the intention of making root beer float cows. For the cats and dogs I would leave out baskets and buckets to catch them, and then I'd put them up for adoption! Root beer floats and acres of puppies and kittens- could life get any better?

What is Wealth?

I think the quote means that real "wealth" is a cornucopia of good qualities. A wealthy man might be kind, dependable, and friendly. The wealth we usually think of is what we own or how mu ch money we have. I'd rather just stick to the normal meaning. Blah.

By the Sea

Water, water, everywhere, yet not a drop to drink. This quote is from a writer at sea describing his journey. I love the sea, from the crimson tinted horizon to the calm blue sea foam that rides along a ship. And if you think the top of the ocean is spectacular, the wonders and treasures hidden beneath the waves are an even grander spectacle. I long for the wind on my face, the smell of salt, and the gentle ocean spray. Until I return again I will remain in constant desire for that endless horizon, and really bad eggs. Drink up your hearties yo ho.

Ch-ch-ch-changes!!!

The list could go on and on with changes I would make for this school. But the number one change I would make would be healthier food options. My old school in Louisiana had a huge salad bar and a lot of choices of what you could put in salads. Why is there only one line for the normal line and then 4 to 5 lines for other foods. Maybe Texas wouldn't be the fattest state if the schools paid for a salad bar. It doesn't just have to be greens and vegetables. It could include fruit too. The cafeteria serves government food and whatever other company pays to have their food provided. Chick-fil-a, chinese food, and Pizza Hut are all good foods but teens don't need to be offered that everyday. Our race will be full of rolling blobs of lard by the year 2100.

ZOMBIEEEEEESSSSSS

Boy, would it be pretty awesome if there was a Zombie Apocalypse! I would need to survive in order to preserve a normal, noninfected human race. I'm not sure how people would become zombies but I would surely survive using several methods. First, I would get into good shape. I'm sure I'll need to run away from zombies a lot and I don't want to get out of breath too fast. Next, I'll need a good supply of weapons. This would include shotguns, pistols, machine guns, grenades, flame throwers, and lasers (if possible). It would be nice to have a companion (human or doggie) or a group but in some cases it might be bad. They might slow me down. I also need a good car. It would have to be fast and sturdy. A hummer would take too much gas but would suit my needs for fastness and strength...Perhaps my mom's car would be suitable. She has a Toyota Sequoia and it's like a tank. I call it the "Black Beast" because it's black and beastly...sometimes the Batmobile too. Maybe I'll invent the real Batmobile!!

freeedumb

Today us a free write! Yay! So, yesterday I got my financial aid package from RIT!!! I got enough to the point that I was $4,000 short of a full scholarship (tuition= $40,000, scholarships= $36,000). I'm so syked because I'll only have to borrow $4,000 and now it's official that I'm going to RIT! I cried, it was so amazing. Now I'll be going to college with my cousin, who is freaking awesome! He's like my best friend! And I'll be about 10 minutes from his girlfriend, who is also a really good friend of mine. I feel like the burden is gone. I just need to get through the rest of the school year and then I'm out of here! I'll miss Texas and all my friends...thinking about it makes me really sad. But this is what I want. This is the best thing I can do to accomplish my goals. Just 7 more weeks of school... I'm an RIT TIGER!!!

I'm a Survivorrr!!

I don't know how all of us would manage to get stuck on an island but the first to crack would be Jess or Lindsay. They both don't seem like the out doors type...so you do the math. No showers, no electricity, no normal food, and so on... Plus they tend to disagree with each other and they would both go psycho. I could totally survive though. I've learned a lot of outdoor skills over the years that I've spent in New York. (Yes, there is country side in NY...it's not all big city.) I can make really good shelters out of sticks, leaves and anything else I find. Now that I think about it, that would be the funniest thing ever! All of us are chill and then some of them just randomly crack and go on a rampage throughout the forest.

I'm Blue, If I Were Green, I would Die

If I could see one color the rest of my life, I'd like to see blue. It's a pretty color and we would all look like the Blue Man Group. Other colors would be fun too but best...in my opinion. :)

Mini Bucket List

The 3 things I want to do before I die is:
-travel the world
-meet Robert Downey Jr.
-find my soul mate (Robert Downey Jr.)

I love to travel, as I have said many time before. RD Jr. is my favorite actor and I love him!!!! Then I want to marry him. Ah, what a life that would be. :)

My spring break...

I would have to say that the best part of my spring break was just hanging out with my friends. I camped in my best friend's backyard for 2 nights. It was soooo cold but awesome. We roasted marshmallows on her grill and made s'mores. I also had a great movie night at Melissa's house. We watched the Hangover, Role Models, and Whip It. All are great movies and everyone should see them. I found my prom dress...$56 marked down from $180. It's navy blue with a diagnol starp. It sounds plain but it's beautiful. Lastly, I got a date for prom! YAY!

Fweee Wite

AH-meh-gad! (Oh my god in my style) Spring break is only a few hours away!!!!! Unfortunately I have a bit of a cold...no fever...and I'm not contagious...so don't worry about catching it. The only problem is that I don't feel very good and I really don't want to do anything. Blek! Tomorrow my dad will come to town. I haven't seen him in 5 months. We're going to a shooting range and I'm going to shoot a semi-automatic AK-47! I'm pretty excited. I think we're going to a movie too. I don't know what to go see that would be good to see with my dad. Hmmm, I'm in the mood for watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off! :)

Sing Us a Song Your the Piano Man!

My theme song today would be the Imperial March from Star Wars. I'm feeling unusually confident and powerful today. I don't know why. I also like Star Wars a lot. I picture myself walking down the halls like Darth Vader and my minions and friends following. Ah, what a day...

AcDec!!!!

Although we only got sixth place in the state, my trip to San Antonio is my best memory of the school year...so far. I was the only girl on this trip with the exception of Mrs. LeBlanc. But she's a teacher so it's different. All the AcDec people are really cool. Everyone tends to assume that AcDec is full of nerds. That is kind of true but I see nothing wrong with that. We're all a little quirky. Anyway, they are primarily why the trip was awesome. It all started with the drive down. There were two other guys, David Jacobs and Michael Bostock. We had really interesting conversations...mostly about movies and video games. Occasionally Dr. McDowell and Mr. Scroggins would chime in. They're awesome teachers/coaches. While we were in San Antonio it was cool too. All of us are the mischevious type and we pulled silly pranks on eachother and the Centennial kids. Every night we'd stay up late doing random stuff...and studying.
We also went to Dave and Busters and got over 12,000 tickets. We got a stuffed penguin and tonnnsssss of candy. Me+candy= best!!! There's sooooo much I want to include in all of this blog but I don't have enough time. I have to do the dreaded AP Style sheet...sorry Ms. Merrill. :P

Sell Fones

I believe cell phones are luxuries and necessities. I got my first cell phone in 7th grade but kids these days get theirs at 5 years old. People older than me got theirs at later ages. These devices get more and more expensive and high-tech. But we depend so much on them not just for making calls but also for locating places and people, checking e-mail, entertainment, etc. Just imagine how small and high tech they'll be in several years. People might as well just have cell phones glued to them.

Can't live without this!

One type of food I can't live without is pasta!! I am an Italian food fanatic! I love to cook it, serve it, and eat it. Pasta will go well with so many different things. When I go to Italy this summer, I'm going to try as many different Italian dishes as I can.


By the way, Ms. Merrill, you said that I didn't have to worry about making up the blog that I missed last Thursday...just making sure you remember. :)

Fame.

No, I don't want to be famous. Ever. I hate people knowing my business when I don't want them to. I can't deal with that much attention. I have too much trouble as it is right now with people knowing my business. I just want to get through life with nothing to worry about like tabloids, paparazzi, etc. I hate hearing about celebrities business anyway. On a happier note, I was accepted to Rochester Institute of Technology!!!! I'm ecstatic!! New York, here I come!!

Goin' for the Gold!

As I watch the Olympics, my mind is chanting "USA, USA!" I absolutely love the Olympics and the past couple nights have been simply miraculous! Shaun White, the most beautiful red-headed guy ever, won the gold medal for the half-pipe. I must say, that 1260 Mctwist move (that he made up) is AWESOME! I can't think of anyone that could deserve it more. The Men's Figure Skating was beautiful as well! Johnny Weir and Evan Lycacek are phenomenal skaters. I think the judges underscored Weir! But Evan Lycacek couldn't have done any better! I'm so glad he beat that Plushenko fella. I almost cried! That's how happy I was. I am so proud to be an America at this moment. USA! USA! :)

When I was little, my dream was to be a hair stylist. I would open up a salon with my best friend. I would cut hair and she would do nails and tanning. Now...this was when I was about 4...5, or maybe 6. But as I grew up, my interests took a drastic turn towards medicine. I started watching doctor shows and I decided I wanted to be a neurosurgeon. I had no idea what I would have to do in order to be one but I didn't really care. Now that I'm graduating in a few months and going off to college, I will still be aiming towards the medical route but I'm not going to be a neurosurgeon. I decided to study Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ultrasound) and Medical Imaging Science. I'm going to be one of those people using the ultrasound machines, MRIs or CT scans. I'm so excited. :)

Tic toc

In order to meet deadlines better I will manage time better. I will do this by writing down what I need to do and make is a top priority. It's kind of hard to manage time when I'm so busy with everything else. But I will try harder now. :)

Oh, I wish...

As much as I would like things to change in this world, it would cause everything to not be the same. I'm mostly content with everything. But if I could one thing in this world it would be that there would be no homeless, abused, stray dogs and cats...and other animals. I feel some kind of internal pain when I see an animal limping off the side of the road or if it's emaciated due to hunger. Those ASPCA commercials make me so sad when I see them and I'm sure anyone else would agree. I guess one of my reasons for feeling really passionate about this was because over the past 2 summers I worked at a camp with a lot of rescued horses, dogs, goats, cats, etc. I was so happy to see that they had a place to go. If I ever become rich, I'll open a rescue shelter/farm.

weird word...

AREA!!!


Ok, now it's a free write.
Today, has been a crazy day. I started off by working on my death star tea pot. It's turning out pretty good...for now. Then in Anatomy I had a test. It wasn't too bad but then we just chilled and socialized. I realized how much I don't like some people. I'm sooooo done with high school. There's too much drama and "fake people". My classes are alright...especially my NEWSPAPER CLASS!!!RAWR. On a lighter, happier note...I don't know. I'm being a pessimist today. :(

First AWARDDDD!

I want to win 1st place in the B bracket for the State Academic Decathlon competition. We recently had our Regional competition and I did better than expected but still not good enough. I am going to study, study, study!! I am so determined to get more awards. FIRST AWARDDD! WOOOOOO!

Apple tablet...

I think it's an interesting creation. Those Apple fellows are quite the innovative folk. Does that make sense?? So, I think it will create a faster way of reporting news. Reporters and journalists can just bring this thingamajig with them and type as they interview, submit, and VOILA!! They have their information in. It's just another way to make spreading news convenient. Wooo! ....But I certainly wouldn't buy one.

iApp

The perfect iPhone app for me would be a (make believe) insult maker. I hate when I can't think of a good come back when people insult me. It's kinda a downer for my day. So with this gadget I would always have the perfect response for any situation. I know that if I had enough time I could probably think of something but I always have to have a response right then and there. Anyway...that's what I want at the moment. Another cool app would be a transporter like in Star Trek. I'd always say "Beam me up, Scotty!" when I use it. Hehe.

TV Show!!

A Day in the Life of...that One Chick- That would be my tv show title. It's a lame name (haha, that rhymes) but that's all I can think of. I have a lot going on in my life. Drama, excitement, funny moments, and chaos only touches a small portion of my life. I hate to exaggerate but it's really crazy!! Times of hardship would then be alleviated by LOTS of comic relief. Anyway, that's about all I can say. Life's rough.

Something that I've done that has made me proud was helping my uncle restore an old barn on his property. He is going to use it as a banquet hall for his restaurant business. It's a very long, beautiful barn built in the 1840's. I helped nail boards down on the side and painted all sides. Now this barn was more than 30 feet tall. I had to get on a huge ladder and paint with a roller and brush. It was really tough work. I tend to do a lot of work whenever I go visit my family because there's always something that needs fixing, restoring, or cleaning. You could say that it helps build character...because it really does. I bonded with my aunt and uncle and worked my arms to the point that I couldn't lift them at night. Painting is a real work out. But I'm proud that I helped and now it looks beautiful. The barn is about half way done being restored and I'm so excited to see the finished product!! :)

˜´∑ ¥´å®ß ©øå¬ß

I have one major goal for the new year. Just like everyone else, I want to lose weight. I've been trying forever but drama and craziness in my life has been getting in the way. But my number one goal is to make this year the best that it can be despite what's going on. It turns out that I'm moving to New York. For a long time it's been up in the air, and I now know that it's for sure. Thankfully, my mom got a part time job to hold up through the rest of my senior year. When summer comes, I'll be heading up there for good. I'm not sure which college I want to go to yet, but chances are that it will be up there as well. So...I'm going to have fun. I have already decided to go to a concert coming up. I'll try to do well in school but simultaneously have a social life. Wow...that seems like a lot to say...and that's not even half of it.
