*GONK*

I really do think the world is going to end in 2012. Someone out there seriously must want us all to die.

We could die by the following ways:

-Drowning. Apparently, some huge ice chunk just broke off of Antarctica or something.

-Getting nuked by North Korea. Enough said.

-Or getting blown up by the Taliban, which is in process of blowing up Pakistan.

-Suffocation. Our air is so bad. I just read that 60% of Americans live in places where the air quality is so bad that it could actually be stunting growth. 0_o

-Obesity. McDonald's will kill us all.

-Swine flu. Apparently some poor little toddler died. But my racist parents say he was in Mexico and they just brought him over the border and said he was American. RACISTS.

-Death by African pirates! Haven't you read the news? Now the Somali dudes are after an Italian ship!

-Economy crash. We'll all be so poor we'll be eating our own shit, according to my extremely pessimistic father. He thinks the American car industry is going to crash, but the scary thing is, he could be right.

-Straight-people meltdown. New Hampshire is allowing gay marriage. Some people are just so closed-minded and can't accept that.

-High gas prices. When I finally get my own car, I'm going to be too poor to actually drive it. It's looking better this year than last year though.

-Death by Asia. The fighting over there, over the whole continent, is just horrible. I hope it never comes here and it stops there.

-Fire. Fire has been everywhere this year.

So, my dear friends, it is my belief that we are quite simply doomed.

Dear God Save Us

Today, I was driving down the road with me mam on the way home, and we were sitting at the longest stoplight in the world.

I turn to the left, and this lady has her visor down, and the vanity mirror open. She doesn't close it. She just keeps it open. And checks herself out, primps her bleach-blonde hair, and when the light turns, she speeds away, not putting up her vanity mirror.

Oh. My. God.

10 Things we have in our garden

1. Tomatoes, like four varieties.

2. Basil

3. Cucumbers

4. Strawberries

5. Lettuce

6. Broccoli

7. Onions

8. Parsley

9. Sage

10. Bell Peppers

And I planted at least four of those today with my dad, plus about a hundred flowers in the front yard. Only after pulling up an insane amount of weeds in the garden, and an insane amount of weeds in the front. And pulling up a bunch of dead pansies, and doing a bunch of watering. And fertilizing. And laying down new mulch.

...

I am so freaking tired.

The whole truth and nothing but

We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up.

wrong exit?

I think my life is starting too early. Yeah I know. My actual life has already started. I'm talking about my adult life.

I just feel like I'm going to fast. I'm growing up too quickly. Yeah, I'm 15, and I'm out of the house in 3 years. It's kind of a scary thought, but everyone has to do it. I just feel like I'm ahead of everyone I know in the whole business... It's like my entire life right now is preparation for the future. Before I even think about doing something I think about if it will look good on a college application. I feel like such an effing geek. I should do things because I love them and I want to, not because some stupid college wants me to.

So am I getting off on the wrong exit from the highway of life?

I'm getting a ... I dunno, sort of a job, at a lab this summer. It's going to take up every day I'm not at band camp or on vacation or days I decide to take off. It will take as much time as an actual job, until I finish my project. I gave up being a PA at girl scout camp for this. Imagine that, I'll be working in a lab. If I want to be a marine biologist, this is a perfect experience. All the same...

Is this the life I want to have? Yeah, I love nature and all of its mysteries and creatures. Yes, I love my friends and family. But is this the way I really want to go? Yes, I'm still a kid, it's not like I'm choosing a major. But I'm certainly paving the road to where I might want to go.

I was thinking about this last night. I wrote like ten pages in my journal. (Yes I'm a total lame-o and keep a journal.) There's so much I want to do in life, I want to go so far. It's just... no one really ends up getting what they want for real. I feel like I'm having a mid-life crisis as a pitiful hormonal teenager, not a 47-year-old woman.

Example. Simple, but still. Every woman wants a wraparound porch but they usually end up in the center of Suburbia in a townhouse with a front lawn about two feet long. Everybody wants to be happy and go golfing or whatever in their free time. But what if I don't have that? If I'm a marine biologist, say, I'll be spending all my time in a lab or out in the field, wherever that is.

You know what? Screw golf, I don't like it anyways.

Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day everyone!



I love Earth Day. It is my most favoritest day of the year. I love to just go for a walk and give an extra hello to nature. Every time I go out I feel like the plants and animals are all talking to me, especially the trees. It's no different today... but it's like seeing your family on Christmas, know? On a day you're even more supposed to be together.

Go take a walk people. Go hug a tree, go save the world.

Gee, am I inspiring or what? XD

LMAO GEEK.

I can't believe myself. I just watched all six of the Star Wars movies, I'm such a freaking geek. I was inspired to do this because we're playing Star Wars music in band class and I have only a zillion solos in there. So...

But really, now. They are so good. It's so fun to just get lost in them. I mean, who doesn't love a bunch of light sabers whooshing around the screen on some funky planet whose name you could never spell? (i.e. Kashyyyk, and I still don't think I spelled that right. But it does have 3 y's.)

I shall make a list of who is awesome.

1. HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN IS FREAKING HOT. (Yes, Star Wars does have fangirls, I would know.) Naturally Anakin Skywalker gets a place on this list. I don't know what you people are thinking with "OMGGGG EEEEDWARDDD!!!!!!!!1!! HE IS SEW HAWWWT~!!" Because you are "sew" wrong. Look at this hotness here. He is "sew hawwwt." Okay? Okay.

2. Yoda is amazing. I mean, this teeny tiny little old green thing can whup just about anyone really good in the rump. Or anywhere else. Also the way he talks, his funky sentence structre. (Actually I think Russian has sentence structure like that, for real.) I could go around for a day talking like Yoda. A national holiday, that should be. Talk-Like-Yoda-Day. Hm. Like that, I do.

3. Leia Organa, because she's totally badass and not that afraid to get her hands dirty. I love how she picks up a gun like she's used it a million times before and she's a freaking princess. *sigh*

4. Han Solo, because he is also totally badass. Just plain amusing. Besides, he has a nice ship too. 0_o shiiiinyyyyyy

5. Palpatine, becuase he has a weird voice that's freaking hilarious. "Riiiise, Lord Vadaaaah," I mean, who can't crack up at that? I was practically rolling on the floor watching that scene. Also drooling because this Lord Vadaaah is so hawt.

6. CHEWY! Who doesn't love running around making Wookiee noises for the hell of it?

7. Jar-Jar Binks, and his use of the word "me-sa." He's a painfully annoying creature but he redeems himself because he says "me-sa." =) And, I have a certain degree of sympathy for clumsy people, you know?

8. Obi-Wan Kenobi, because his name is so much fun to say. Same with Qui-Gon Jinn. Also fun to say.

9. Count Dooku. You just can't take him seriously with a name like that.

10. I know this isn't a who, but the line, "LUKE, I AM YOUR FATHER!" Just the dahn-dahn-dahn-ness of it.

*sigh* My day is complete. I have had my dose of geek.

Wait, before I stop this post, look up star wars parodies on YouTube. Some are totally lame but others are hilarious. These I saw before my father BLOCKED YouTube. Lame.

Anyways. Byebye. Go watch Star Wars.

WAAAIITTT!

11. R2-D2 and C-3PO. They are hilarious. Also, Anthony Daniels is amazing. I love C-3PO because he's so prim and proper, and then there's R2-D2 on the complete other end of the spectrum... ha!

Okay. Now I'm done.

life is...

there's no place like home...

...Except a rut, ditch, or, um... any other indentation that one can easily slip into and have a difficult time getting out of.

Coming home is kind of like waking up from a dream that you can hardly remember. In fact you're not even quite sure that it happened. Just jolted back to your real life like an alarm clock screaming in your ear at an hour too early to remember.

But... I'm back.

Oh, joy and rapture.

off to to see the wonderful wizard of oz

Actually, it's Florida but whatever. See you all next week!

Jealousy

Today I saw someone wearing the same jacket that I have. She's kind of pretty. But it made me cringe.

I think the reason I hate seeing other people wearing the clothes I have so much is because they usually always look so much better in it than me.

Unfair.

death by listerine

Today, I was taking a gulp from the bottle of Listerine when the whole bottle spilled on to me, soaking my clothes, making me gag, and burning the inside of my nose.

I immediately panicked, thinking I had poisoned myself.

And then I laughed, what a funny way to die.
