Heyy everyone! Sorry its been so long since the last update. I'm still on Winter break and honestly, there hasn't been too much to report. The day after Christmas I went with my whole family (me, my parents, three brothers, grandparents, great-grandmother, two aunts, uncle, and three cousins) to have family pictures taken. That was fun. Laura and Kayla came over for New Year's Eve, and I've been rereading the Twilight books. I'm on Eclipse now, and I have to say, Bella is an idiot.
I mean, come on! She has the hottest, nicest, smartest, coolest guy EVER and she keeps risking it all to hang out with a stupid werewolf. What's so great about werewolves, Bella? Do they sparkle in the sun? No. Do they watch Romeo and Juliet with you and whisper Romeo's lines in your ear [Edwardgasm much?]?? No. Are they anywhere near as awesome as vampires. NO!!! They're stupid dogs and they smell bad. Gahh. Remember all the Romeo and Juliet stuff in New Moon? "They fight. Paris falls." So let Paris fall already!
Ok, enough ranting. I absolutely love the Twilight series. So much so that I actually wrote a Twilight fan fiction. How cool is that? Click here to read it. Its pretty cool. Its Edward's point of view while breaking up with Bella in New Moon.
Other than all that madness not much has been going on. I mentioned that Bella and Alice came over for New Year's. That was awesome. We stayed up until 7:00 AM then crashed for three hours. While we were awake we did all kinds of crazy things. These include making a huge string of bras and hanging it up in my room (thanks to Caitlin for facilitating this. If she hadn't started my bra fetish it never would have been possible.) and we also harassed Shayne online for a while. That was pretty cool. He probably thinks we're crazy now, but whatever. He already knew I'm crazy. Everyone knows I'm crazy.
Today was absolutely completely awesome. I woke up just after noon and was informed approximately twenty seconds after I woke up that I wasn't allowed online until I finished Jane Eyre. I hate Jane freaking Eyre with a burning passion. There was no way that I was going to waste the rest of my break reading that stupid book, so I read the summaries online. I finished in about an hour and enjoyed it much more than I would have enjoyed reading the book. I absolutely love reading, but only when its interesting. Jane-oh-my-Carlisle-so-freaking-boring-Eyre is not interesting.
After I finished reading I went to get ready to go to the movies. I went with Dad to see Sweeney Todd. It was absolutely fantastic. It was kind of gory, but completely worth it. Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter really rocked, and all of the other actors were amazing as well. It was a little distracting because the cast was made up of actors that I've actually heard of. It was like Jack Sparrow, Borat, Bellatrix Lestrange, Serverus Snape, and Peter Pettigrew instead of the actual characters. And, of course, I was looking for people for the Twilight movie as well. I decided that Jamie Campbell Bower could very easily be Jasper, and Helena Bonham Carter could be Victoria if they straightened her hair. Think about it, people.
After the movie Dad and I went to Borders. We got coffee -because it was like 6:30 PM, about damn time for some coffee- and looked at books. Well, he looked and I texted Shaine and Laura. He ended up getting some outdoors-y book and making fun of a guy with long hair. (Not to the guy's face, of course.) In the guy's defense, it was a really pretty color. Haha.
When we got home I ate and got online, and here we are. I only have two more days until school's back in session, and I'm mildly terrified. I don't really know why, but I am. Probably because so far there's no one I know in the third and fourth period classes. Here's my schedule:
1. Honors English - Coach Rice
2. Art I - Mr. Shinn
3. Contemporary Issues - Ms. Biechler
4. Spanish I - Ms. Hess
Anyone have classes with me? Let me know.
Uhh..I think that's about it. Sorry for the short post. I'll get to those elaborations soon, promise. Peace, loves.

Merry Christmas!
"Did you get me Edward Cullen in a box?!"
Haha. I love Christmas! I didn't get Edward Cullen in a box, but I did get Twilight and New Moon in hardback so I can't destroy them. Did I mention I love Christmas?
Ben woke me up at about 6:30, pretty good considering the fact that sign I put on my door last night said 7:00. Usually its 5:30ish and then an hour of waiting for my parents to wake up. So he woke me up -a lot nicer than Chip or Josh would have, I might add, they would have jumped on me- and I went to fix my hair and put on some makeup before going upstairs. When I got upstairs I didn't even look at the tree, I went straight for the coffee. Dad laughed and said it was understandable. I was done with the coffee before we were halfway through with the presents. I am so not a morning person.
After presents my brothers went to go set up their new Wii and I got more coffee. I was awake by this point, and really into the whole Christmas thing. Mom told me about how she tracked down my impossible to find lipgloss, and it was hilarious. Apparently she went into Bath and Body Works to find it and some gay guy helped her. (Hmm..I wonder if it was Scottie.) He was wearing pink lipstick and going on and on about how amazing this lipgloss is. He helped Mom find it, actually using the phrase "Oh, honey" in the process. Ha! I love gay guys. For seriously. I want one. Oh, Scottie....
Since then we've just been hanging out. Every year Mom makes cinnamon rolls -the real ones that I was supposed to bring Shaine after Thanksgiving- and this year they are ah-mashing. For seriously, I don't know how she does it, but they are awesome. Oh, did I mention that Mom is the best cook in like the whole world? She really is. If you don't believe me come over for pasta sometime.
We're going to my grandparents' house around one. That'll be really cool, I love it when my whole family gets together. Its really really really really loud with the six little kids (yeah, I'm the oldest of the seven grandchildren) running around, but its fun.
Since I'm going to be adding stuff to this all day I'm going to break it up into sections. So far is section one, 6:30 - 10:57. Peace, loves.
Here goes part two.. 12:36 PM.
I just got to my grandparents' house. My Aunt Jen and Uncle Dave are here, along with my grandparents and my great grandmother. My other aunt and younger cousins aren't here yet, so we can't open presents for a while. I've been instructed to hide the computer mouse when she arrives, so this might be the last update until tonight when I get home.
After the last update I got ready to go and sent my Myspace friends pretty 'Merry Christmas' comments. If you didn't get one I obviously don't love you.
ADD sidenote: I absolutely love my grandparents' keyboard. It doesn't make as much noise as mine does. Must remember to get one so Dad will let me stay on the computer later. He always complains that I keep him up banging on the keyboard.
Everyone looks like really good. I mean, I know you're supposed to on holidays, but its a new thing for my brothers. They're all wearing button-down shirts and they look really nice. I think they may have bathed, too, but I won't get my hopes up. I think I look pretty good. I'm wearing a pink sweater that Santa brought me. While I was getting ready I realized that I've worn a pink sweater on Christmas for the last three years. I'll try to find pictures, but I might not post them. I had really bad hair from the time I was eleven to this year. (I finally have it under control now, though, which is kind of laughable if you've seen my hair.)
Ok, so its 12:46 now and I think I'm going to go socialize with my family now. Maybe my uncle will tease me about my big nose again..Ha! I love my crazy family. Peace, loves.
Part three: 2:11 PM
Just got done with presents. It was actually pretty pleasant, no drama. Some screaming, but no drama. I sat with Aunt Jen -who I have decided is really awesome- and laughed as Dad and Uncle Dave passed out presents at a painfully slow pace just to annoy Aunt Reetie. Man, my family totally rocks.
ADD sidenote: There may be some typos in here until I get home. My internet has a built in spell checker, which I rely on desperately, and my grandparents' doesn't. Bear with me if I sound completely stupid. lol.
After the last post I went and hung out with the relatives and ate cookies. My grandmother -Nonnie- made about thirty thousand cookies, and I plan to eat at least twelve thousand before the day is out. I talked with Aunt Jen about all the cool stuff she does. (I really don't know her that well because she and Uncle Dave only got married two years ago and I've only seen them a handful of times since then.)
Turns out that the place where she works caters for What Not To Wear when they're in New York. How cool is that? She said that Stacy and Clinton are really low maintenance when it comes to their food, and she assumes that they're pretty laid back in real life. Clinton, maybe, but I for seriously doubt that Stacy is. I mean, have you seen her show? She's like a total betch! (A really really awesome betch, but a betch all the same.) I tried to explain this without using the word 'betch' or any variation, so I don't think I actually made my point, but whatev. They also cater the Baby Phat fashion shows. All I know about Baby Phat is that Kimora Lee Simmons was a guest judge on America's Next Top Model a few times, but that's still pretty cool. Not as cool as What Not To wear, but still pretty cool.
A little after that Aunt Reetie showed up and we started opening presents. Dad and Uncle Dave played Santa this year, and it was really funny. I think its so cool how over time brothers-in-law can become brothers, because you -or at least I- can totally tell how well they get along. They were absolutely hilarious, and with my Aunt Reetie here it will be insanely hilarious. I love it when my family is all together. For seriously, if you saw us all together for just ten minutes you would know where I get it. ('It' being my outstanding sense of humor, big nose, and bigger ego.)
Like I said before, we just got done with presents and now I am like starving to death. Its 2:24 and we're eating in an hour, but I don't know if I can make it that long. I think I'm going to get some cookies and get verbally abused by my 'loving' relatives. =p Peace, loves.
3:05 PM
Gahhh. They're cooking very slowly and it is NOT fun. So question: Is anyone reading this as I post like a crazy person? Haha. If you are leave a comment so I know.
In the like forty minutes since I left you I have done basically nothing. I ate some cookies and listened to Mom, Uncle Dave, and Aunt Reetie talk about the time Mom tried to crucify Uncle Dave. No, I'm not kidding. When they were kids Mom tried to nail him to a tree, and he has a scar on his foot from it. This was after Mom left him out in the snow when he was a baby. I don't think Mom much liked the idea of younger siblings. (Ha! I took it a lot better than she did, I just complain a lot. JK. I love my little brothers more than anything, even if they are annoying.) Its pretty funny because when Uncle Dave got bigger he got revenge. Once he put her on top of the refrigerator and wouldn't let her down for hours, and once he hung her by her belt loop on the security lock thing in a hotel. I'm thinking that my parents should be thankful that I only yell at my brothers..I could hang them by their toes off the back porch. Hmm...That's an idea. Maybe Uncle Dave will help.
So are y'all having good Christmas? I definitely am, and will continue right about...Now. Its 3:12 I'm going to go -er- patiently wait for the food to be ready. Peace, loves.
PS- Its technically a white Christmas. Its raining and sleeting and snowing a little. Ha! That's Tennessee for you. We like never get snow. For seriously! I've been out of school for more rain days than snow days. Ridiculous.
4:09 PM
OMG, I'm like totally stuffed. I think we may have a problem, how the hell am I going to eat pie?! Haha. I just laughed out loud at all the morons who think I'm anorexic.
So dinner was awesome. Like for seriously, my family is made up of amazing cooks. The conversation was better, though. My family temporarily moved the spotlight from me -because obviously its always on me- to my brother Chip and his inablity to stop laughing. Its really amusing. If you tell him something funny he just can't stop. And if you tell him something not so funny he can't stop. It reminds me of Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Not the crappy movie, but the book. "Must...Not...Look..Like a....Baboon's backside!!!" (It was close to that, at least. If you've read the book you get it.) So Uncle Dave and Aunt Reetie picked on him for a while, and then the spotlight came back to me and we talked about how charming I was when I was little.
See, Aunt Jen asked how Chip (whose real name is Phillip) got his nickname, and I explained that when he was born I was obsessed with Beauty and the Beast. Phillip became Chip the cup, Mom was Mrs. Potts, Dad was the beast, and I was Belle. So apparently one time when I was like three I was over here with Nonnie and Aunt Reetie and a friend of Aunt Reetie's came to pick her up. I answered the door and I said, "I'm Belle the girl in the castle, who the hell are you?" Ha! I was such a cool little kid, Aunt Reetie's friend even said so.
So now with that charming little anecdote finished, I'm going to have some coffee and pie. Its like 4:19, so I say its time for pie. Talk to you soon. Peace, loves.
6:29 PM
Just got home. Did you miss me? The pie was amazing, I'm never eating again. Or until tomorrow morning, whichever comes first. After dessert I listened to my aunts and uncle talk in depth about hair products (not joking) and then sat in the living room with everyone and we just hung out. My younger cousins and my youngest brother kept jumping all over Uncle Dave and it was pretty funny. One of my cousins obviously just got new feet, because he was falling all night long. Not even kidding. It was hilarious.
So all in all it was an amazing Christmas. If I hadn't mentioned it before, I love having all of my family here. We're all -all being the fifteen of us- going to have a family portrait taken tomorrow. That will be interesting. I wonder who's going to end up in a headlock this time. =p
Well, I think that's about it. I hope everyone had a great day and got to spend some quality time with their families. Its 6:38 and Dad's kicking me off here in about five minutes, and I have to talk to some people on Myspace, so I'll talk to you tomorrow. Peace, loves.

A.D.D.
So today, after the first terrible two minutes, rocked! Seriously. If I had the ability, I would have danced or something, it was just that cool.
Before anyone asks, and I know you want to ask: Yes, I broke up with Jonathan. No, I don't really want to tell you why. No, it was no great drama, it just didn't work out. Yes, I do go though guys really fast. Scott said I have 'Guy ADD'. I say that's about right. Its really terrible. Maybe I can get medication, like a guy that isn't a total bore for once. That could work. This all ties into my Carrie Bradshaw epiphany, which I'm still working on writing. I'll post it as soon as I can.
So after the breakup -the first terrible two minutes- I stole some of Laura's Starbucks and I was over it. (Yeah, I can be a little bit of a cold-hearted wench. Your point?) Then to Biology, BORING! Everyone was like totally obsessed with the fact that I dumped Jon. When did that happen? When did people start caring about my drama? I mean, I know I'm interesting and all, but come on..
The History test definitely jumped up off the paper and kicked my ass. Well, the essay did at least. It was a nightmare. I hate tests. After that we went to homeroom to get our report cards. They didn't have mine, so I had to wait until lunch when I could stop by guidance and get it.
Kayla wasn't at school today. =[ I had to endure Algebra without her. It was terrible. Not only did I have to pay attention, but Ben took Kayla's desk (on my right) and Eric was sitting in his desk (on my left) and they took turns poking me. I do not particularly enjoy being poked, especially when it makes me scream and everyone looks at me funny. Not cool.
I sat with Eric, Ben, Shaine, and everyone again today at lunch. Mostly because they had invaded my usual table and I had no choice. Leigh Ann was ready to kill them. She gets very defensive about our table. Anyhow, that was interesting enough. Eric has taken to searching through my purse and scaring all of his guy friends -the only girls are me and some chick that never talks- with tampons. Its incredibly immature, but completely hilarious. I told Kayla about it yesterday and we made up a whole bit about it. I'll let her blog about that one.
Gym was gay with a capital B. (The B is for Brandon, the gay guy I accidentally went out with a few months ago.) First, while we were going to the track and I was riding on Kelly's back -which I love to do, don't ask why, I just like being picked up and carried- Ashlie decided to be 'funny' to the point of sheer grodyness (new word) and take her sucker stick and put it down the back of my gym pants. I'm not even kidding. The chick is absolutely nuts. (She likes to spy on people when they're in the bathroom.) So we were all yelling and laughing when that happened, which spurred more yelling and laughing, and I notice this guy I used to know (I say that because he hasn't spoken to me for months, so screw him) in the parking lot like looking at us like we're crazy. Well, looking at me like I'm crazy. I am crazy, but still. I don't need any confirmations. So what did I do? I smiled and waved, of course. I will be such a great Bree Hodge wannabe someday.
So after that we got to the track area and Emily and I were running and skipping towards the actual track, and I totally wasn't paying attention and I ran into the latch thing that closes the fence. It hurt like hell and still does. So I swore and then went with Emily to make sure it wasn't bleeding. It wasn't, but it still looked gross. Its a huge scratch on my right thigh. We went back to the track and Coach Creepy almost said something to me about it -in front of the whole class- so I interrupted him with "You know what? That's the coolest thing I've ever done, so don't start!" Later he asked me if my leg was hurt, and I told him no, just my pride.
After gym I went outside and hung out with Scott, Destinie, and another Emily. (There are like 200 Emily's at Karns, no lie.) We took some of pics (pic 1, pic 2, pic 3) and laughed at some stuff. Rhiannon is speaking again. Turns out Shaine bet her she couldn't talk for like two days. I think she won. Then my bus came and I came home.
I've been online ever since. I've done some interesting stuff, too. I redesigned and updated the 'about me' on my myspace and made a really crappy 'New Moon' wallpaper. I'm redoing it tomorrow, because that's my favorite quote from that book, the wallpaper just didn't turn out well. Other than that, I did nothing. I really don't know how I am able to waste hours on the computer, but able I am. Maybe its just because I'm hardcore like that.
I talked to Laura for a while. She's awesome. Here's what she had to say after reading this blog page:
"Oh my God. That's the second best thing I've ever read."
"Second?! What's first?"
"The Twilight series."
"Oh, ok. Just making sure your priorities are in order."
Yeah, we know, we rock.
Oh yeah, I made something totally awesome. See, Scott and I have conversations through our myspace statuses, so since I finally figured out how to take screen shots, I've started saving them. Here are some from yesterday and today. Its like my own little comic strip.
So I guess that's all. I should probably get to bed, I'm going to be completely useless tomorrow. Oh well. You guys are worth mind numbing exhaustion. Peace, loves.

Fire and Ice
So today...I wish I could make up a word that describes today. It was so completely terrible and wonderful that I don't even know where to begin. I guess I could begin at the beginning, even though it doesn't get very interesting until Biology. So lets skip ahead to Biology.
My Biology teacher has an unnatural obsession with small furry animal sex. I'm not even kidding. Last unit we were studying genetics and she kept saying things like, "So you get a little boy bunny and a little girl bunny, and they have little bunny sex..." but it has extended to guinea pigs, and now parrots. Yeah, parrots. Parrot sex. Good mental image, huh? So she has an unnatural obsession with bird sex, too. She's a scary lady. But not nearly as terrifying as my Algebra teacher. More on that later.
History was pretty cool. We got way off topic and ended up talking about Turkish currency because Brianna found about $4000 in her notebook. No lie. She found a 10,000-Turkish whatever bill in her notebook and its worth about $4000 US cash. All I ever find in my notebook is eraser shavings. Definitely not as pleasant as $4000. Other than that, History was boring. We have a huge test tomorrow that is guaranteed to jump off the paper and kick my ass. Oh well, guess I'll just have to do really well on the paper thats due Friday. Does anyone believe that I finished it today? I seriously did. Be proud.
Activity period isn't worth mentioning, it was cold and we made inappropriate jokes. Whoop-de-freaking-do.
Algebra was AMAZING! Half-Baked (the teacher) got really ticked off at us and did that 'mellow yelling' thing. Seriously. You can tell that she's like furious, but she's saying it in a really ex-hippie mellow borderline psychotic voice, and she's smiling. She really reminds me of a serial killer. She did that for about two minutes, and Kayla, Eric, and I were sitting with tears streaming down our faces and the sleeves of our jackets stuffed in our mouths. Kayla and I had to put our heads down to keep ourselves from laughing out loud. Eric did laugh out loud, which made me laugh out loud a little bit, which made it all funnier. After that Half-Baked left the room for a few minutes and when she got back she was writing something with a really scary look on her face. Kayla and I think she was putting us in her burn book, like in 'Mean Girls'. Man, it would be SO cool if all the girls at Karns got in a huge fight like in that movie.
Lunch was uneventful. I sat with Eric, Shaine, and Ben because at that point Emily was still mad at me, but it was kind of fun. Boys are gross, though. I'm glad I have girlfriends at school. We went upstairs before the bell and hung out in the locker bay. Ben stole one of my stripper shoes and I almost beat him to death with the other one. He took it like a man, though. He only cried a little.
Back to Algebra. I realized that I really should have paid more attention in third grade when we were learning times tables, because factoring is a pain in the ass if you aren't good at multiplication. Cortney and I took turns poking Eric, and then we took a picture. After that I abandoned all hope of finishing my work and helped Kayla find Forks on a map. We found it and jumped up and down a little. It was awesome!
Then to gym...Fun? I was sick of Emily being mad at me so I wrote her an apology on the wall in the locker room. Instant forgiveness. If its still there tomorrow I'll take a picture. One of the other Emily's, Kelly, Lindsey and I all wore pajamas for gym. It was awesome. We've decided to make every Wednesday and Friday PJ day in Gym, 'cause we're cool like that. I wore my pajamas home, 'cause I'm supercool like that.
After school was...interesting, and that is all that will be said. I'm sure Scott has told the entire Western hemisphere by now..
Nothing particularly interesting happened when I got home. Some drama aftershock and I worked on putting together the 'New Moon' playlist. I got all but seven songs, so I consider it a success. Stephenie Meyer is awesome. Seriously. Not only is she one of the greatest writers ever, she has great taste in music.
So I suppose that's about all, just a few random blogables real quick:
~When I was on the bus today like three people asked what my name is. Weird!
~Rhiannon has taken a vow of silence. Don't really know why..
~That's all!

Kayla and I had to put our heads down to keep ourselves from laughing out loud. Eric did laugh out loud, which made me laugh out loud a little bit, which made it all funnier. After that Half-Baked left the room for a few minutes and when she got back she was writing something with a really scary look on her face. Kayla and I think she was putting us in her burn book, like in 'Mean Girls'. Man, it would be SO cool if all the girls at Karns got in a huge fight like in that movie.
Lunch was uneventful. I sat with Eric, Shaine, and Ben because at that point Emily was still mad at me, but it was kind of fun. Boys are gross, though. I'm glad I have girlfriends at school. We went upstairs before the bell and hung out in the locker bay. Ben stole one of my stripper shoes and I almost beat him to death with the other one. He took it like a man, though. He only cried a little.
Back to Algebra. I realized that I really should have paid more attention in third grade when we were learning times tables, because factoring is a pain in the ass if you aren't good at multiplication. Cortney and I took turns poking Eric, and then we took a picture. After that I abandoned all hope of finishing my work and helped Kayla find Forks on a map. We found it and jumped up and down a little. It was awesome!
Then to gym...Fun? I was sick of Emily being mad at me so I wrote her an apology on the wall in the locker room. Instant forgiveness. If its still there tomorrow I'll take a picture. One of the other Emily's, Kelly, Lindsey and I all wore pajamas for gym. It was awesome. We've decided to make every Wednesday and Friday PJ day in Gym, 'cause we're cool like that. I wore my pajamas home, 'cause I'm supercool like that.
After school was...interesting, and that is all that will be said. I'm sure Scott has told the entire Western hemisphere by now..
Nothing particularly interesting happened when I got home. Some drama aftershock and I worked on putting together the 'New Moon' playlist. I got all but seven songs, so I consider it a success. Stephenie Meyer is awesome. Seriously. Not only is she one of the greatest writers ever, she has great taste in music.
So I suppose that's about all, just a few random blogables real quick:
~When I was on the bus today like three people asked what my name is. Weird!
~Rhiannon has taken a vow of silence. Don't really know why..
~That's all!

Stalkerism
"I'm obsessed with him, is there a word for that?"
"Stalkerism."
I love making up words.
Stalkerism's only meaning at this moment is Laura's obsession with her ex boyfriend, but I believe that stalkerism will be the area of expertise of Kayla and myself very soon. We're just special like that. We stalked some random hot guy at lunch today. It was amazing.
So my day: Boring yet exhilarating. All of my days seem to be that way recently. Odd. Anyhow..
Biology = Practice Gateway tests and boredom.
History = More notes on Islam and boredom.
Activity Period (aka the 15 minutes after second block when they tell everyone to walk around.) = Some drama, minute confession, slap fights, discovery of a very interesting corner. (Only Scott knows what I'm talking about.)
Algebra = I actually understood it. Amazing. Obsessed over Twilight with Kayla. What else is new?
Lunch = Talked to everyone. Don't remember what I said. It was probably hilarious.
Gym = Emily's mad at me. Oops. < /sarcasm > Coach Creepy is showing undeniable favoritism towards the blonds. I hate him. And them. Blonds only have more fun because pervy guys start staring and let them do whatever they want. More confessions.
Sorry I'm being so boring. I really don't get it. Tons of stuff happened today, but it felt like just a boring day. I had a whole list of blogables, too. (Yes, another made up word. A blogable is something that I see during the day that I want to blog about.)
I had a very Carrie Bradshaw moment today. You know, the "I couldn't help but wonder..." I'll try to work it into a suitable article and post it, no promises, though.
So I finally finished 'Eclipse' last night. It was amazing, but that was expected. I forgot to breathe a few times. That was expected, also. I loved it. I'd heard snippets from a few people -including "Edward nearly rapes Bella" from Kayla and "You won't want to wait for the next one" from Lindsey- and I was absolutely desperate to finish it last night. Just to clarify, Edward didn't rape Bella, he was just trying to demonstrate that she should keep her hands to herself because he could kill her. lol. So yeah, the Twilight books rock. I'll finally admit it: Twilight is better than Harry Potter. ::Dodges flying pocket protectors as my nerd friends throw them::
Grr. Daddy Dearest is making me get off. Just when things were getting interesting. Oh well. I'll be back tomorrow with some more interesting stories, loves, promise. Check out the video below to keep yourselves occupied. <3

Just My Brand Of Heroin
Ah! Today was so - Blogable. Lets start at the beginning, I suppose..
Nothing happened in the beginning. There was an alarm going off at 5:30, a shower, and some leftover Algebra homework. Nothing terribly interesting. Left for school -clad in my new favorite sweater and Larua's stripper shoes- and it was raining. After making a quick comparison to the climate in Forks, Washington, I went to the bus and drove Chip crazy by singing along to my iPod.
When I got to school nothing worth mentioning happened. The bus was almost late, but I got to Biology with a few minutes to spare. Biology was a delightful surprise. My teacher lost the flash drive with our notes on it so we watched two videos. I read through both of them. The first was a generic boring film on the classification system (Kingdom, Phylum, ect.) but the second one held my attention for a few minutes.
It was about an Ebola epidemic somewhere in Africa. Like I said, it only held my attention for a few minutes. I went back to my book -'Eclipse', of course- and ended up smiling to myself as I read, and also as the narrator of the film described the horrible death endured with those who contracted the Ebola disease. I felt really bad about that for the rest of the day. I also decided that I really should only read the 'Twilight' books in the privacy of my bedroom, because, as I said before, Stephenie Meyer has a knack for making me laugh, cry, squeal, gasp, and completely forget to breathe. This would be utterly obnoxious if her characters weren't so addictive. They're just my brand of heroin. (Twilight joke, don't worry if you didn't get it.)
History was next, nothing too terribly exciting. We took notes on the spread of Islam in the 500-600's AD and concluded that Americans are Capitalist pigs. Nothing out of the ordinary. My teacher got slightly PO'd at us halfway through class because we were talking, but what did she expect? She got a group of nerds in a room with the basic structure of the Islamic faith, of course we're going to try to find loopholes to get out of Ramadan! For seriously. (Laura's phrase.) I'm not even kidding.
After History was activity period, again, nothing interesting. I walked around with Emily, Scott, Destinie, Sarah, and Veronica for a few minutes before retreating back to the classroom to read. Then I went to Algebra, and it was completely boring. For the first half of class the Crackhead went over this packet that was supposedly homework. Only thing is that it wasn't actually homework, we didn't have to turn it in and she gave us all the answers. This happens every single time I actually do my homework. So while she went over the answers I continued to read when I could, and wrote a note with Kayla (the theme was 'You Know You're Obsessed With Twilight When...' very entertaining. I'll post it sometime.) and constantly reminded Eric of his Betch status.
Halfway through Algebra we left for lunch. Same old, same old. Eric called me anorexic because I eat rice cakes, and we then concluded that if anyone's anorexic its Emily, then I got a sucker and read. Very calm. I mean, there was tons of stuff to laugh at -probably mostly Emily- but I really can't recall too much of it. Probably because I'm distracted by the book sitting downstairs that I'm almost done with.
Oh yeah, something really interesting did happen at lunch. We found, and stalked, Jacob Black. Ok, he's just a guy that Kayla and I don't know that looks just like we think Jacob Black should. We were going to take pictures, but then we remembered that we can actually be charged with stalking if we produce photographic evidence of our crime, so we settled for staring at him. He noticed, too. I don't know if that makes it more or less fun..
We got back to Algebra and did something with graphs. To be perfectly honest, I don't know what it was. Factoring, I think. That will be extremely helpful when I go to do my homework, I'm sure. I spent most of the time listening to Kayla talk about how she thinks she met a vampire at Six Flags. Not even kidding. She'll have to post that story, though, I'd probably forget the important details.
After Algebra was gym. Well, more like another reading period. I decided to forgo my gym apparel and read for the whole class. My gym teacher -who is a complete pervert, by the way- kept calling me a bookworm. I just stared at him blankly and said, "You say that like its a bad thing." When what I really wanted to say was, "Sorry to disappoint, I know you probably like them dumb. Stop looking at me you old fart." But I didn't. Sometimes I am genuinely surprised as to how I hold my tongue. I must have Cullen-like self control or something.
I saw Jon and everyone after school, and started reading again when I got on the bus. I'm truly shocked that I could do it, I usually get a monstrous headache when I read in a moving vehicle. Maybe I'm finally over that. When I got home I checked my myspace and had a snack, and quickly fled downstairs to read. I read until dinner time, then I ate and cleaned up, and now here I am.
You know that Cullen-like self control I think I have? Yeah, I have none left when it comes to this book, especially when I only have a few chapters left, so I think I'm going to have to leave you. I'll be back soon without a doubt, darlings. I'm a fast reader, and a great ranter.

Fred, George, and Black Friday
Heyy everyone! Hope you had a brilliant Black Friday, I know I did! But more on that later.
So my bestest Algebra buddy Kayla named her conscience George, affectionately known as Georgie. Well, I have followed suit. Henceforth, my conscience shall be christened Fred. Now if you understand the logic behind this choice, go ahead and have yourself a little chuckle. If you don't understand, just sit there and look pretty. I'll give you a hint, its the same logic behind naming my cats Mrs. Norris and Crookshanks.
FINE! Its from Harry Potter. Fred and George are the Weasley twins that are always causing trouble, and I just thought it was fitting. Now, as everyone should know, Fred was tragically murdered in the final battle against Voldemort and the death eaters at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Let us have a brief moment of silence to mark the passing of our dear departed -er- fictional character.
So Fred and I are just here hanging out now. We had a great day along with Mom. We got started around 4:45 this morning. Mom came into my room and just started babbling until I woke up. We were out the door at about 5:30 and on our way to Turkey Creek, ie. basically an insanely huge shopping center. As you can see from the list on that website, I mean insanely huge. There were tons of people there. When we arrived we planned to go to Target first, but the line to get into Target went down the sidewalk past at least six large stores and meshed into the line for Wal Mart.
We ended up going to Old Navy first, which wasn't nearly as terrible as we thought it would be. Only downside was I saw my sixth grade English teacher. I didn't talk to her, but, of course, I texted Caitlin, who proceeded to remind me that we hate our sixth grade English teacher with a passion.
Long story short, in sixth grade Caitlin and I were both amateur writers and we were just beginning to learn how to express ourselves. We wrote poetry and stories that our superprep classmates and Barbie-doll wannabe guidance counselor decided was 'morbid' and our English teacher got in the middle of all of it. She accused us of being spoiled attention-seekers and basically ruined our sixth grade year, which really sucked especially for me because I had amazing friends in sixth grade that I had to leave the following year, and I wish now that I had been able to spend more drama-free time with them.
So back to the shopping. After Old Navy we got to Target, got some coffee, did some Christmas shopping, went to Wal Mart, did some Christmas Shopping, and then went to Pier 1, but they were closed, so we went to Borders. AND I FINALLY GOT 'ECLIPSE'! Seriously, you have no idea how happy this makes me. It has been out of the library for two weeks and it has been driving me crazy[-er than normal] not reading it. Seriously, the level of commitment to my three loyal readers is amazing, because I really should be reading right now. After the happy happy experience at Borders we went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond and then lunch at Panera at 10:something in the morning, but we had been going since 4:45.
After that we hit Aeropostale and went to the mall. It was absolutely completely insane. We got makeup and a few other things and got out as fast as we could. On the way home we thought long and hard, and concluded that all of our Thanksgiving calories were burned. Fred agrees.
After all of our shopping adventures we were exhausted. Fred fell asleep before me and for once I didn't have a voice in my head talking to me. I fell asleep on the couch watching What Not To Wear without even trying to determine Clinton's mysterious orientation. A definite first.
When I woke up I ate dinner and then got on here and began recording my Black Friday saga. Unfortunately, my soulless father (just kidding) kicked me off the computer around nine and I couldn't finish. Once I was kicked off, I did laundry and watched What Not To Wear (it was a marathon) until ten when Stacy London's new talk show premiered. I watched it and giggled a little, and then concluded that she is a conceited bitch. She is a person much like Tyra Banks (whom I also despise) who makes a living making people pretty so they will fit into her world. I now pretty much hate her, but, of course, I will be watching Fashionably Late next Friday at 10 on TLC.
And finally, finally, finally, after all this, I began to read 'Eclipse'. I promised myself I would only read three chapters, and technically I did. I read four chapters, but I had already read the first chapter in the advanced reader's edition of 'New Moon'. I had to reread it, though, because I had read all of the 'New Moon' extras on Stephenie Meyer's website since then and I couldn't really remember what actually happened. So far, I love it. These amazing books are still making me laugh, cry, gasp, and forget to breathe. Well, I haven't cried yet, but I probably will. I did in the last one.

And The Lion Fell In Love With The Lamb
News flash: Jon is the best boyfriend ever. Not only is he totally sweet and makes me unbelievably happy (Kayla, prepare to be jealous) he has accepted that he will probably always be second to Edward Cullen. =D Just kidding [a little].
So that's the end to my day, nothing other than eating happened in the middle, and it began with smoke detectors going off because Dad almost set the garage on fire. Fun day, huh?
So as we speak, or more accurately as I type, I am searching desperately for a Twilight wallpaper that doesn't have Emily Browning in it. I mean seriously, how hard it it? I mean she's pretty and I know she was a contender for Bella for a while, but she LOST! So move on people and make some wallpapers with just the best quotes and stuff or something. Aha! Found one! Its the tulip from the 'New Moon' cover and a totally black background. I may have to do some editing, though. Maybe add my favorite quote to it or something, or just 'Edward and Bella'. Oh, the possibilities.
Oh, in my travels through cyberspace I stumbled upon the Twilight Lexicon forums and decided that I absolutely must join. Now I just need to come up with an extremely clever and adorable screen name...
And with that, I think I'm going to bed. Lots and lots of shopping to do tomorrow. Before I leave, though, I have to show you my new favorite avatars:
And now I'm done.
