I'm a Florida Girl!

You Know You're From Florida When...

You own at least five pairs of flip flops You know someone who's been struck by lightning You're more scared of the freaks who live down the street than gators Your backyard is sometimes a swamp You're officially sick of Disney You shrug off hurricane warnings You've been permanently blinded by fat men in speedos There are only two seasons - hot and hotter You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Florida.

Again, all of these are true... sad...

Alias...

Just thought this was funny... b/c I'm addicted and some of these are true!
(I'll mark which for you!)

You Know You're Addicted to Alias When...

At every fast food joint you go to, you order "the special, no pickles" regardless of the fact that you LIKE pickles. You believe wearing a colorful wig and tight clothing can help you get away with anything. You check the sides of old book pages for Russian characters. Every time you see a black Mercedes, it reminds you of Sark. You notice every Ford Focus on the road. *You use the phrase "There are just so many problems with this..." at every possible opportunity. *You have suspicions that your spouse may actually be a double. *Your non- Alias obsessed friends (like you have any of those left! Hah!) refuse to talk to you about Italians, prophecies, pickles, wigs, parent/daughter relationships, spies or anything else that might lead to a discussion about Alias. You actually BUY a blue Ford Focus. (With gold rims, of course) *You wonder if Sark actually could be Irina's son. *You develop opinions and theories about this and other unanswered facets of the show, and spend a large amount of time formulating arguments for both sides of the debate... The main question you ask yourself shopping is "Would Sydney wear something like this?" *You have seen every episode. Ever. More than 5 times a piece. *You went to see Daredevil just for Jennifer Garner. You flip out when you see Michael Vartan in One Hour Photo married to someone else. The mention of weddings, rings, or two years just gets you incredibly ticked off. *After getting a bad grade on a paper you tell your friend about your professor saying "legally he's right, ethically he's an ass." *If the topic of TV shows comes up, you automatically ask the person "Do you watch Alias?" and if they say they've never heard of it... you immediately end the conversation. *You hear the songs played in the show.. and you instinctively listen for the lines of the characters.. and know precisely when their lines occurred in the song. *Your history teacher mentions something about the KGB.. and you suddenly think "Irina?" You have a codename that people actually call you by. *You think having no first name is a perfectly acceptable thing. *Old Asian men in wheelchairs creep you out. You will never view epoxy in the same way again. *You find yourself trying to find good, compelling reasons to sway your significant other that your next child/pet should be named "Irina" or "Sydney." You feel aggravated and insulted when you watch the episode of "Frasier" where Victor Garber plays Dr. Crane's British butler. ("Years of agent training and experience, wasted...") You feel a strange urge to bite Mike Tyson's ear off every time you think of "Jimmy Kimmel Live." *Whenever you hear a truly interesting song, you immediately think of how that song would fit into a scene from Alias. *You find yourself criticizing the REAL CIA based solely on your knowledge of Alias. *You think Jerry Springer's guests have boring, uncomplicated family/friend relationships and easy, simple-to-fix personal problems. *You become incredibly irritated when people say, "That girl Sydney, doesn't she really report to someone else?" and can tell them exactly how many episodes behind the times they are. *You begin fantasizing about planting listening devices on your significant other's work clothes, just to see if you can find anything exciting/spy-worthy. You know what J/I, S/V, S/W, Sarkney, Slark, slash, and shipper are, and have opinions on all of them. Every time you hear the Nokia ringtone, you get excited even though there's no way it could be Vaughn. *You look for air vents you could crawl into incase of an emergency. *On Monday morning instead of saying "hello" to your friend you just say "Did you SEE VAUGHN'S BOXERS???" The only people you have on your AIM buddy list are people you've met through Alias *When you begin to doze off in history class and only snap back to attention when the teacher uses the words "Alliance" or "Covenant." *You record every episode, then go out and buy the DVDs as well. You dream about Irina Derevko at least once a week. Sweiss does not sound like a candy bar to you *You assume that anyone who wears dark eyeliner is evil. *You meet a nice person and immediately become suspicious of their motives. *You constantly try to figure out ways to get Jack and Irina back together. *You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends who are addicted to Alias.

sad, huh?

Orlando!

YAY! I just got back from Orlando, which is always fun. i'm gonna write in bullets just cause it's easier... (my thoughts aren't flowing together at the moment, but hey, when do they?)

• went to magic kingdom
• guy at parking gate was funny... after we paid him the $8 to park, he looks at us and says, "Have a magical day..." funny part: he sounded so depressed saying it...
  
• best ride- Buzz Lightyear thing
• I'm a first class ranger
• 2nd best- Winnie the Pooh.... Had great fun singing the whole way through the ride... it reminds me of the time I got in trouble on the Snow White ride.... Me and Matt screamed the whole way through it... lady looked at us when we got out and says "hey, you shouldn't do that"
• went to the cast member sale (cheap disney stuff for their workers)
• codi got a pirate costume, and my parents took her to the front of a pirate dinner show and took her pic.
• I got tigger ears for auburn games.. woo-hoo! :P
• hotel was awesome... suite... free drinks... heated pool... hot tub... enough said
• CUP UPDATE!!! they don't sell pocahontas cups anymore, let alone anything pocahontas. so depressing. I did get a blues clues cup though... this makes me happy.
  
• ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I think that was it... or at least, it's all I can think of for now!

My cup :(

ugg! I'm sooooo pissed off!
That above is what is now left of my favorite cup.
I know its stupid, but I've had that thing since I was itty bitty.
And, to this day, Pocahontas is still my favorite disney movie.
Has been since, well, forever.
I got that cup when it came out...
It's one of those few things I've held onto/remembered about my childhood.
oh well... I guess nothing can be done about it now.
It was eaten by the garbage disposal.
My sister turned it on when the cup was in the sink....

giraffes and band camp don't taste good mixed

Today was the first day of rookie/band camp (such a geeky thing). I was worried about it though for 2 reasons.

1. I thought I would be lonely... no friends... :( but things turned out ok. Turns out that I know a pretty good amount of 9th graders. (only like 5 10th graders there...)
2. I didn't think I'd be able to play & I'll explain why. You see, I busted my lip open yesterday. and not just a little. it bled. nice thoughts... anyway, now my lip is swollen and I still don't think I can play. I'll see in like two hours. (we have a break mid through for lunch and stuff. I got off at 11 and go back at 3) 1st half was rookie camp, marching and other crap, then 2nd is music practice. Fun, fun, fun!
   

That's all for now, keep in mind it's only like 1 o'clock. I might post tonight, or not... we'll see.

oh! I almost forgot! That's a picture of twigs, my new giraffe. Isn't he cute? If you were in Auburn last year, you understand. (the whole giraffe and rhino debates me and sarah got into.) I think I won... Giraffes are sooooooo much better!

Chattanooga Choo-choo!

Yay! I spent the whole weekend in Chatt. I was so happy.... but right now I'm angry. You see, I accidently deleted all the pictures off of my camera.... ugg! Now I have no pictures :( Oh well.
Here's a recap of what went on:

• 5 hour car drive
• arrive at choo-choo
• have dinner at a place with singing waiters (always fun)
• seriously think of putting a bench in a fountain (the bench could be easily moved and the fountain was there, so why not?)
• Lauren, Ashley, and myself left sneakedly to board a bus, my daddy found us, so he came too. But it was a good thing he came 'cause he bought us all ice-cream.
• went back and me and ashley actually put the bench in the fountain. Seemed like a novel idea, but we are weak as ya'll know, and when putting it in, it tipped. Now there is a bench upside down in a fountain at the choo-choo. Fun-ness, huh?
• went to Kendall's house and had a blast. We had a Bridget Jones movie marathon. (if you haven't seen them, you need to!)
• went to my grandma's house, which was as boring as crap. I think it was there when I accidently deleted my pictures. boredom gets to you and makes you do stuff like that.
  
• went to L & A's house. Finally got my yearbook from 2004. (looooooong wait) I have way too many pictures in it. guess that's what you get when your best friend works on it....
• went to Fuddruckers on the way home... yum! (oh, and while there, when we went to pick up our order, my daddy looks at me and says, "Hey, I was supposed to get fries!" I then pointed out to him that there was a whole mountain of fries on his plate... I think he felt really stupid after that....)
• another long 5 hour drive. This time is was in a convertible with the top down the whole time. Now my hair is really messed up. Oh well... We did stop to get candy, that always makes trips better! :P

Well, I guess that's pretty much it!

Update on the flower chain

Hey guys!
Here's an update on my flower chain...
It's still there!
How creepy is that?

I mean to say, how often should a daisy chain last at a school full of stupid people? You would have thought that someone would have taken it down... But no! I had a french exam today, and afterwards we got to go outside. And low and behold, that chain was still there. Now, about that french exam. That was the weirdest test/exam ever! Ever had a test where you hadn't learned anything on it before? That's what this one was like...
Example true false question: There is a substantial Jewish population in France.
Answer? I have no idea. What kind of question is that?
Anywho, I got to go babysit 'til 11. TTFN!

Logic: The art of being wrong with confidence...

The answer is 42. Isn't that a great way to start a post? With the answer? Now, as for the question, I have no idea what it is. (btw, if you are totally lost, you either have no idea what the inside joke is, or you need to read Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, which I highly recommend.)
Today was interesting, let's just state that. I had to turn in my Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde project, which I was too shy to read to the class and I got Mr. Tindell to read it for me.... that was sweet of him. Then I went to Business Tech. Can I really urge how much I hate this class? It's like I'm a two year old. I've "shot" myself many times in there when the teacher wasn't looking. Now, my last two classes passed uneventfully (math and science).
I just got back from guitar, and that could be a whole post of its own... You see, our (and by our I mean mine and Cristina's) guitar teacher is always 15 mins. late. So we decided to sneak out, run across the road, and buy some french fries at Guthrie's. Yummy! When we got back, our guitar teacher was there... and boy was Fred not happy. He made us do the crappy c scale over and over and over and over and over and over again. Not fun. Then I told him the answer was 42. I don't he got it b/c he looked at me funny... Oh well... What can you do?

Kirby

Hey everyone,
I'm drafty bored today. hey, is that even a word? I mean, I know 'that' is a word, but is 'drafty' a word? Will someone please get back to me on that? Actually, I know that no one will 'cause no one reads this. Which, in a sense, makes me feel better. It's such a great outlet for everything!
But I am being a bit rude. You see, today's subject is Kirby. And who might Kirby be? He's my loveable kitten! He's so sweet and I just love him to pieces. That pic is actually very flattering of him, don't you think?
He's a sweetheart. You know the feeling when something is sooooo cute, you just want to eat it, but later you'll be sad that you did? Kirby imbarks that feeling. Oh, I'm going to miss him when he dies.....
(not that he's going to any time soon, just stating that...)

Workin' at the car wash!

Wow. Isn't it amazing the things parents can sometimes ask you to do? I mean let's face it. I was asked to wash the car, which is no big deal. Wanna know what the big deal was? It was raining. Now people, I ask you this: Is there any point to wash a car when it is raining? Personally, I think not. But hey, now that car is squeaky clean... & wet...

Joe Comic!

Today is not really a post...

You see, I had a really mean french sub who yelled at me to do something "constructive."
So I made a comic!

Aren't my drawings amazing?
I mean, like just plain awesome?

Wednesday...

Yay! It's Wednesday!
I know it's weird, but I love Wednesdays...
It's probably because my favorite show comes on Wednesday...

Can anyone guess?

It's Alias!

That is like the best show ever!

Well, now I'm typing really fast 'cause I need to go eat.
Now, I know what you are probably not thinking.
This is, "Why would you eat at 4 pm?"
Answer: Simple. I have to go babysitting at 5 o'clock and I feel bad
when I eat people's food....
is that weird?
I hope not...

I just realized that I have no idea how to spell 'probably' or 'realized'....
I hope I spelled them right...
but, if I didn't, it's not that big of a deal.
What could you expect?
I have failed almost every spelling test I have ever taken...
you can tell, huh?

TTYL folks!

Another day at school....

hmmm.... let's see. Today was rocket day. We had been making rockets for about a month in physical science (purpose to get hang time and keep a passenger/egg safe). Our rocket did horrible. It was only in the air for like 5 seconds. Not bad, you say? Consider that to get a 100 you had to have 15 seconds at least. To cap it all off, our egg broke. Oh! And to cap it off again, I forgot to take a picture of our rocket.

(and hey, I would go now...
but it is in a dumpster some where covered in egg...
lovely thoughts, huh?)

But I did mange to get some pics afterward back in class... here they are!

above is Saramia.... one of my good buddies! I love that shirt too!
(says,"I'm rad, You're rad, let's hug!)
I always give her a hug when she wears it
'cause I'm rad & everyone knows it!




this was supposed to be Sarah and Becca...
Sarah took the photo herself though, so it's not my fault the pic got caught off!
Just kidding, but seriously I could try it again...




and this last one is Nicole
aka Nickel Shanaynay
I'll miss her!
(she's going to boarding school next year... :( )

Well guys, that's it! TTYL!

french class...

wow... french class was awesome today!
want to see what our days are like?


we just hang outside most of class....




I got really bored and made a flower chain to decorate with...



wasn't that fun?

Hey! This is the very first post in this blog!
I'm just trying to set it up now!
TTYL!
