Don't Stop Believing, YA'LL.

Hey, Internet! I know it hasn't been to incredibly long since I last posted, but I figured, why not? It's Sunday, which means that tomorrow is Monday, which means that I return to school tomorrow. Ick. BUT there's only three weeks left this semester, then finals, then Christmas Break! And next semester should be rather easy because my only core class is English. But I have to go in to get my schedule changed so that I don't end up in a Latin class I don't want to take. The only problem is the most (good) electives are all full, so I might be taking something along the lines of pottery or Life Management. Don't ask me what that is.

Other than that, not much is going on with school. In two weeks we're ('we' being the band) taking a tour to a plethora of elementary schools in our county to play Christmas Carols! WOO! Its all every exciting, except for the fact that I'm not a big fan of playing Carols. I'm more of a 'sing-along-to-them-in-the-mall' kind of person. But it should be fun because I get to wear an EPIC ELF HAT. I can't get that word out of my head - epic. Its driving me EPICALLY CRAZY.

I'm reading the novel 'Wicked' by Gregory MaGuire. Don't ask me if the 'g' in MaGuire is capitalized. Because I'm just guessin'. Anyway, I think I've read it before, but I'm reading again for good measure. Which doesn't make much sense.

It STILL hasn't snowed here in Casper. But the weather channel says it might snow on Tuesday, which, yes, is indeed December first.

WHICH MEANS THERE'S ONLY A MONTH LEFT OF THE FIRST DECADE OF THE NEW MILLENIUM. This is a millenium, right? I forget. But honestly, how ridiculous is that? I feel like 2009 just started! And now we're entering a whole new decade?! WOWZERRS. So I'm gonna toast to a great 2010? Yes? But 2009 was a really great year, full of great trips, great rollercoasters, great food, great friends, a great beginning of the school year, awesome first semester... So much I'm going to remember. So much I'm not going to remember that might one day be really important.

Which brings me to another thing. I think in 2010 I'm going to actually keep a journal. Where I write every single day. Because I know a lot has happened that I want to remember, but never will. I was originally thinking I could get a notebook and every day write something I'm thankful for, because it saddens me that we only ever take one day to think about what we're thankful for. I honestly think you should be thankful for at least one thing every day. So I guess I'll do that, PLUS generic teenage girl journal. Not diary. I'm not Miley Montana, for God's sake.

I wrote a lot more than planned. But, because I want to entertain the people of the interwebz, I have a picture/video for you! YAY.



For those of you that know the song 'Don't Stop Believin'' by Journey, this is a very funny image. For those of you that haven't heard this (legendary) song, go listen to it to understand the hilarity of this picture. I don't know, my sister found this on someone's Tumblr, and it was the funniest thing I've seen in the past hour.



This video just makes me laugh. Its so true, too. I mean, if MY health teacher was like that... Hahah..?
Anything by Mytoecold is SO funny. He's one of my favorites.

And lastly, click this here link to go to a VERY funny page. Its seriously so funny. So click it.

That's all I have to say today. I'll probably find something to talk about on Tuesday, because I'm going to the band concert of my old middle school.

So proceed with your web browsing, people of the internet. :)

America isn't done being thankful yet.

Hey internet! Its been a little while. Well... Happy Black Friday, for those of you in the States. I did not go shopping today because my mother was ill and also I don't like fighting crowds. But we got some online deals! My mom bought a cute little pink laptop for like $219. What a bargain, AMIRITE? Anyway, my Thanksgivings was fantastic. It was a little weird because we don't currently have an oven, so we used this weird turkey cooker that wasn't too terrible and literally baked biscuits on an outdoor grill. We're so epic.

It hasn't snowed here, like, AT ALL and its November in Wyoming, for God's sake. And I love snow! I really want it to start snowing here. But it hasn't. :*(

I bought a Snuggie yesterday and its pretty fantastic. Its leopard print, and I look so stupid wearing it. But I love it when I'm alone in my bedroom! :D

And I also saw that Cirque Du Freak movie for the third time yesterday. I really enjoy that movie. Movie > book. Just sayin'.

I cut my left index finger with a potato peeler yesterday and now its like there's a crater in my finger. It looks absolutely disgusting. And I have to wear 3 band-aids on it to be able to type with my finger, but it makes it really hard and I keep pressing the wrong keys. I know you wanted to hear that, Internet.

Um... I went to DudeLiAwesome's BlogTV today. That was certainly interesting.

Which brings me to one of my worst pet peeve EVER on the interwebz. And that is when people take the name of bands, popular youtubers, etc, and put their name in it. For example: "NevershoutJessica". That bothers me. And also those fangirls that are like "JustinBieberForever353573546464". Or "MrsJoeJonas5929". Its SO annoying how unoriginal people can be. I mean, I'm not saying my usernames are very original, but at least I don't just take things that other people have made themselves and make it "my own". That's just dumb.

That was literally the DUMBEST post I've ever written. But its going up anyway. :D

Have a good weekend! :)

My Favorite Things on Youtube. Full of vampires, secks, and fuzzy hats. Also, BEHH.

Hey, Internet! I'm feeling a lot better, thanks for asking. xD Anyway, I am having just an awful, awful day, and so I thought I would post a BLOG that I said I'd post... A while ago? Its about Youtube, and I had a sudden urge to post it because I have nothing better to do other than go get coffee with kids from school, which I will not be doing because I'm not missing GLEE. OoohmyGod, its been so good lately. And meh school friends can DEAL. Pumpkin lattes, my treat... Next week. Perhaps.
I'm a sad person.



I came across this first one a couple weeks ago. Its by take180com (click here to go to their channel), which is a channel that makes all sorts of spoofs and parodies and fun things to watch. I would really recommend any of their videos, but there's one series of theirs in particular that I LOVE. Its called 'I Heart Vampires', and I started watching it this afternoon, and I couldn't stop watching it until I finished the entire first season. Its an online web series about two girls who go on a quest to find a famous author after leaking her new book on their fan website. On the way they run in to tons of problems, which are chosen by the viewers on their website, www.take180.com/vampires, which makes it a really fun series to watch, and also to participate in. You can go ahead and CLICK HERE to watch this series on Youtube.


This next one I am very proud to say I came across when he posted his first video. Although I technically saw it because of AmazingPhil, because he tweeted about it. So I guess I'm not that cool after all. He now has four videos, and around 7,000 subscribers (I don't know, IT KEEPS GOING UP). Already. His name is DanIsNotOnFire (click here to go to his channel), and I love his videos. LUVVVFFF. Luvf. Nobody COOL says that. Anyway. Everything he says is just FUNNY. His video "Did you order some sex?" (it only SOUNDS dirty, I swear) makes me giggle profusely. And my sister is like "What the hell, shut up." Direct quote. He's just... funny. He can be talking about something seriously, or he could be talking about sarcastically and it will just make me laugh. So I hope you go CHECK THIS CRAP out. Because 1. as I said, giggle profusely and 2. HE'S SO INCREDIBLY GOOD LOOKING. If that doesn't make you go click that link, I don't know what will. And its not like I'd lie to you, internet. Would is be too cliche to say that Dan *IS* on fire? Yes? Okay.

I'm sorry if you hate when I use caps. But I JUST LOVE CAPS SO MUCH. For emphasis.


Okay. Moving right along. Which reminds me, I think there's a goat near my math classroom because EVERY DAY I hear a loud "BEHHH" and its hard to concentrate on power equations when you're worried about a goat attack. BEHH.

The next one is a (little? old? I DON'T KNOW, he looks like he's freakin' fourteen years old) boy named Domomachine (go to the channel!!). He's so funny, its not even funny. He's so funny, its like I don't want my grandpa to watch his videos because he'll crap his pants. He's that funny. I mean, I can't necessarily recommend one video of his for you to watch, because they're all really funny. Although I really do like "I am part super human". It's SO funny.

OH, and before I forget, Domomachine and Danisnotonfire have the same hat. Which is why I decided to put them near each other on this list. I should make a list of HATS. I love lists.

I'm trying to think of a good Youtuber of the female variety, because I don't want the internet to think I'm a boy-crazed teenager. Because I'm really not. Instead of going to the second largest dance of the year at my school this Saturday, I'm going bowling, and then going to watch Star Trek. So, um, I can... See the jealousy radiating off of you... Ehem. That had nothing to do with anything.

I can't think of one. So Gazzytube is up next! (CHANNEL) I think I like him simply for the reason that in his video "My Answers!" he makes a seal noise that is just PERFECTION. Its Jesus travelling from his mouth to my ears. -not creepy- And also, he's fun to watch. I like his face. -again, not creepy- I think I mean to say "facial expressions", but its the same thing. But slightly less creepy. He just vlogs about mucho interesting things. xD

I don't want a list of just four Youtubers! Because I've been writing/thinking up this list for about two weeks. What a waste of my time.

As far as MUSIC goes, I really like David Choi (CLICKCLICKCLICK) and his multiple covers of songs that I didn't like until I saw said covers. Like "Fireflies" by Owl City! I LOVE his cover of that. It's just SO GOOD.

I think a list of FIVE Youtubers is good enough, because they're all super excellent and you'll have quite a few videos to watch if you go check out all of them. SO GOOEZZ.

Here's the links in nice orderly fashion. xD

Take 180 "I Heart Vampires"

Danisnotonfire

Domomachine

Gazzytube

David Choi (music covers)

And lastly, I'd like to say that I am one of the FIRST to know that Deefizzy is the new Wednesday on CincoDeVlogo! That shouldn't make me special, but it kinda does.

Have a nice week! xD

Cast Party & Growing Up

Hey, internet! Its been a while... Yeah...
Well, since I last spoke to you, I was sick AGAIN, for the third time which sucked. I don't think it was really 'again'. I think it was more of 'still'. I went to the party I mentioned in my last post (and, yes, I am looking at my last post in another window while writing this xD ) and had tons and tons of fun. We TP'ed a kid's house. Which was... Fun? I don't know, it made me feel like a stereotypical delinquent teenager, even though I didn't do any of the actual TP'ing. I just kinda watched and followed behind the car of my friend's boyfriend. But it was still tons of AWESOMENESS. We played Rock Band, which I hardly ever play, but I love it. And Apples to Apples. And as my friend was talking about the song "Jizz in my pants" by Lonely Island (excuse me if this isn't in fact the name), I was biting into a cream puff, the cream from said puff falling right onto my pants. It was pretty darn great timing.

Anyway, for the last week I've been going to rehearsals for the school play, which was Midsummer Nights Dream and Taming of The Shrew in one show, because my sister was working in the light booth for it. Tonight was the closing night, and it was so much fun. I went to the cast party afterwards (after all, I went to more rehearsals than two of the kids actually doing the lights), and had loads of fun. I love hanging out with the drama kids, because they're all really energetic and fun, for the most part. And since the spring musical is Grease, they played the Grease soundtrack and EVERYONE was singing along. And also dancing along. And also throwing cupcakes in people's faces. And spraying Febreeze IN MY HAIR. But as I said, it was lots of fun, and it is something I definitely don't regret doing.

Now, because I wish for this post to have an actual topic, I want to talk about young girls who want to grow up too quickly. This was recently brought to my attention when I found out that a very good friend of mine was dating someone that is more than a decade older than her, has been married and divorced, and has a four-year-old child. Now, I'm not judging this friend at all, because he seems like an alright guy, and she can date whoever she wants as long as she's happy. Ya' know? Its not exactly her and her relationship that made me realize this whole "growing up too fast" thing, it merely brought it to my attention. Why do teenage girls have this idea in their head that everything has to be done NOW? I mean, I talk to so many girls that say "Oh, yeah, I slept with a guy I don't know, just to get my first time over with." Why? I just don't understand. Sex is not something you do to "get it over with". HELL, kissing isn't something you do "just to get it over with". Why is it that we have to do everything NOW? Why can't all those girls realize that you have your ENTIRE life to do anything you want to do? Nothing needs to be done just to "get it over with". Do it because you want to. Do it because you're ready. Not because you're pressured, and not because someone tells you its cool to be "that person". I'm going to tell you something, internet. I feel almost opposite of how all these girls feel. I'm terrified of growing up. Money, guys, sex, relationships, college, work... I'm not ready for that. And I have a feeling that a lot of those girls that "did it to get it over with" feel the same way. They weren't ready. But they can't take anything back. They did what they did, even if their mind was freaking the hell out.

I'm so sorry about the length of this post! Ohmygoodness, I didn't even know I felt so strongly about the topic. But I guess I really do. I just think that people fool themselves into thinking they're ready to grow up, when they aren't. And it kills me to watch this happen when it is so easily prevented.

Also, I broke my glasses and now my nose is scratched and bleeding. AWESOME, eh?

So anyway. Thanks for reading, have a nice week, I hope you take this to heart, and I actually kind of enjoyed writing about a real topic.

Night, ya'll!
(its 1:00 AM, my sister wants to go to bed, and, sadly this is the latest I've stayed up in a while. ITSALLYOURFAULT, INTERNET.)

I'm sick again & Music.

Hey, internet! First things first, I went to the doctor today to see what I have. I mentioned a while back that I was sick. Well, I'm sick yet again, with a totally different thing. So I went to the doctor and I either have strep throat (the test was negative, but the 24-hour test could turn up positive) or some sort of virus. The doctor said it could be mono, but (thank goodness) its not mono. I've missed this entire week of school, and I'm not sure if I'll be 100% by Monday. But we'll see.
Hopefully it won't be strep throat either, so I can go party it up and my friend's party tonight. Not that it'd be much fun being sick, but if its not contagious, then why not?

So, since I haven't done anything this week at all, I figured I'd compile a list of songs/artists that I've fallen in love with lately.

-Something Corporate
I can't really think of a song by Something Corporate that I don't like. I especially like the song 'Straw Dog'. The lyrics are really interesting. Also, 'You're Gone' is a really good one. :]

-Jack's Mannequin
A lot of people like JM, and if you haven't heard their music, I suggest you do. I especially like 'Dark Blue' and 'Kill the Messenger', but anything by Jack's Mannequin is pretty much golden.

-Eleventyseven
I recently started listening to them (and by recently, I mean yesterday). I really just generally like their sound, but I wouldn't recommend them to someone who doesn't like electronic-type music. I personally like the song 'Evil Genius', because the lyrics just make me smile.

-Stephen Jerzak
Stephen Jerzak, I do believe, is an unsigned artist that mostly operates through Myspace. However, his music is enjoyable. He did a cover of White Horse (originally by Taylor Swift), and I like it SO much better than the original. Also, his song 'Cute' is literally the cutest song I've ever heard.

That's all for now! Maybe tomorrow I'll let the internet know who my favorite Youtubers are? We'll see.

Hope you're all healthy!
Have a grrrreat weekend, internet.
