Sister

Hi, this is Claire, Sarah's sister. I've hacked into her site and now I have taken over! She never updates anyway.

"It Smelled Like Something Died in There!"

2007-12-03T20:45:00.001-06:00

No, it's not my closet.
No, it's not under my bed.
No, it's not my gym bag.
Heck, I could go on forever with this.
According to my Dad, I need "punishment". This is my "punishment".
So, I'm very Earth-friendly, and I'm all for making the Earth healthier. I was cleaning out my cats litterbox [and, on another note, I always clean out the litterbox! Why can't Claire do it?] and there was only two measly pieces of poop in it. [We should probably feed him more.] So, I took out a plastic bag and put the poop in. Then I tucked away the bag in a cabinet. Not the smartest idea on my part.
Fast forward a couple days. My Dad is cleaning out the litterbox [cause I'm not there] and he opens the cabinet [that I put the poop in] and he reels over. It "smelled like something had died in there". He takes out the bag, and throws it away.
But just hold on for 1 second. Let me give you my side of the story. I thought that it would be a waste to put the poop in a bag and then throw it away. I mean, it's so wasteful! [Now I realize that I could have just left the poop in there. Hehe.]

Hey everyone, life has finally caught up with me. I couldn't outrun it forever. Life has been overall really good. I got a B on my report card. -gasp- Other than that, I got all A's. I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, and tell you guys to remember something. There are thousands of millions of people who are going to be hungry tonight. So as you are eating, remember someone who is starving today. Remember how lucky you are to live in a place where you have food, shelter, clean water, and warmth.

Just Peachy

2007-10-14T19:58:00.000-05:00

Everyone is so ticked off in my Religion class. (Yes, I'm young enough to still be in R.E.) We have to write a 10 page paper about our favorite saint. Heck, none of us even freaking have a favorite saint. See, most of us have other lives we have to deal with. Our teacher doesn't.
None of us were going to do the paper. But then some idiot asked what would happen if he didn't do the essay, and our teacher did some research. Turns out that they can give you detention in Religion Class. Isn't that just peachy?
So then I did some research. I got an Excel Spreadsheet out, and calculated. Yes, I know I'm a dork. It balances out that we should slop together some crap on Sunday night, and be done with it. They could give you an unlimited amount of detentions if you never got it done, so, in order to prevent detention altogether, we should just write the paper in the first place.
Oh, I'm going to do the essay. I'm gonna do that freaking essay. But I'm going to make sure that my teacher can't understand it. I'm gonna make sure he gets sucked into the dictionary he's using because he can't understand any of the simple words.
Teacher: Ah-Nee-Mals? What are Ah-Nee-Mals?

The Office

2007-10-12T15:45:00.000-05:00

Oh my gosh, I've had so much homework lately. It's weighing me down. I haven't gotten the chance to blog for like ever! If anyone watches The Office, that episode was freaking hilarious yesterday! They held a pizza kid hostage because Michael wouldn't pay full price for eight pizzas. I was just cracking up the whole time.

Wishful Thinking

2007-10-08T20:07:00.000-05:00

If you could change anything about the world, what would it be and why?

I would definitely change the government. It makes so much more sense to have a world government, instead of countries with different forms of it. Then the world would be divided up into smaller states. However, there wouldn't be one leader, at least not in the beginning. There would be a council, of a select 18 people (Bush would not be one). The people would vote for who they want to represent them. But after that, the top 18 candidates would be selected for the council.
Trade would be thrown out, because there is no one to trade with. War would never be a problem, unless there was a mutiny. The world's scientists would work together for cures to the common cold, AIDS, and other diseases. There would be no nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons. We could develop new ways to power our cars, and our planes, and our trains. We would stop global warming, and create new means to become more energy efficient.
Food would be distributed evenly among the people. When a disaster strikes, the government would immediately send help. Overpopulation would be less of a problem, because there would be more room for everyone. Crime would be dealt with quickly and effectively, putting the criminal on trial as soon as possible.
It's so hard for people to even imagine this, because we are so used to living with fear from other countries attacking us. But if you think about it, it makes so much sense. I wish the world could be like that. That would be what I would change.
I would make the world a better place.

Ummm Yeah

2007-10-07T17:25:00.000-05:00

Well, on a recent fling of mine, I was on Xanga.com, wondering if I should switch servers. Obviously, I decided not to, but I saw a cool little thing on there. It was "The Question of the Day". So, I'm going to give it a shot, but on Blogger.

Should there ever be limits to the "Freedom of Speech"? Why?

I think there should. There has to be some limit to everything- even in the U.S., we have limitations on our Freedom of Speech. We can't shout, "Fire!" in a public place when there's no fire, you can't scream, "Bomb!" on an airplane unless there's a bomb (which I doubt you would find out until it actually went off). There's also some rule with profanity, but I can't remember it. You can't accuse someone of doing something they haven't, or something like that. Yeah, my parents are lawyers, so I just pick this crap up everywhere.
Also, I was surfing, and found this. It's a really cool fortune teller, but not like a magic eight ball, which gives you straight answers. This speaks in riddles.

Presidential Election 2008

2007-09-30T16:19:00.000-05:00

Presidential Candidates: 2008
What do our future leaders have in store?

By Kent P. Wright

Yes, it’s that time of the year again. Presidential Elections: that quincentennial occasion that has America’s brain in knots. This year is no different from any other; many people are confused about who they should vote for. So to make sure that America is informed and ready to vote, I have compiled a list of the Presidential Candidates of 2008.

Ronald McDonald

Dressed in his custom made red and yellow suit, Ronald took the stage Sunday night with a rousing speech about American pride. “I am America,” he says. “I represent America- I am the personification of all things American.” He received enthusiastic applause after adding, “Free Big Macs to anyone who votes for me!” He says that he will work hard to provide the USA with outstanding health care and healthier food.

Dwight Schrute

He bears a sign that spells out DWIGHT- Determined, Worker, Intelligent, Good Worker, Hard Worker, Terrific. He is not very well known, but there are many Americans who think he could lead our country. Schrute would introduce a new form of currency- the “Schrutebuck”, to assert his leadership of the country. He has plenty of experience in economics and would plant beets in every field in the United States. He has spent his entire career working diligently for Dunder Mifflin Paper Companies.

Tickle Me Elmo

Our favorite red monster is running for President, and he seems to be the underdog this year. After the Youtube videos cropping up of him in hysterical laughter, Tickle Me Elmo is certainly taking a daring move by entering the election. There have already been several critical hits to his campaign; now the question is, can he take any more?

Eeyore

Eeyore, beloved character from the series Winnie the Pooh, has officially entered the election. There have been rumors popping around in tabloids recently, but no formal announcement. In his press conference on Tuesday, he is quoted as saying, “I represent the Democrats,” in his low, monotonous voice. When asked what he would do to make our country better, he merely shrugged. It did not make a good impression on the crowd, and it doesn’t look like Eeyore is going to win this year.

It looks like it will be an interesting vote this year, especially with the war in Iraq and how these future leaders will handle their new responsibilities. So on this note I leave you, and with the hope that you will make the right choice in voting.

^ A paper on satire that I wrote for English class. That was the paper I was talking about in my previous post.

Sorry

2007-09-29T19:35:00.001-05:00

I haven't posted in like five days! I'm sorry. I had soooo much homework and school and crap and practices and stuff. No links for you today. I couldn't find anything.
My sister and her friend put a blog up today. Guess who did all the technical stuff. Yeah. Well, if you get the chance, check it out. They haven't posted yet though.
My dad's golf clubs got stolen out his car. He's so ticked off. I still have to write a paper today . . . oh man. :(

Ouch!

2007-09-26T18:38:00.000-05:00

Well, this is obvious. Haha. They made a flag colored hydrant and then dogs peed on it, and we got all offended. Well, that's generally what dogs do. Hard to believe, I know.
I have tons of homework . . . again. Shocker. I slammed my finger in my locker door today. Which hurt. Really bad.

I'm Borfed

2007-09-25T20:43:00.000-05:00

^ Yes, I know I typoed. But I like the new word. Borfed . . . awesome. I found this news article and just had to put it up on the blog.
See, most panty raiders wait until night to do their business, or at least until the victim isn't wearing them anymore. Not this guy.

This Stinks

2007-09-25T17:29:00.000-05:00

These 76 year old men were having a riot. Over doughnuts.
Dude, my choir teacher is having a baby. We're happy for her, but she's too awesome. I know you must be thinking, What is she talking about? but we're all going to miss her! And, we met the sub, and she smells. Literally.

Do you ever feel like . . .

2007-09-24T15:34:00.001-05:00

My teachers hate me. Well, maybe not me in specific, but my classes at the very least. I have homework in every subject and in Social Studies we have 70 questions. I'm a freaking seventh grader! I have a life (hard to believe, I know)! Oh my god, I should probably be doing it right now, but I can't read any more! I'm about to rip my eyeballs out.
By the way, I am now featured in two search engines. I haven't checked yahoo. -checks- Nope, only two. Ah, it's still good.
This is something I'm supposed to be looking up on the internet. It's interesting, so I didn't mind finding it. I'm okay with letting him speak, but I'm definitely not okay with letting him go to Ground Zero.

My TV Schedule

2007-09-23T20:19:00.000-05:00

You lucky little fans you. You get two posts today. Don't get used to it. I'm bored and I don't want to go to bed. I got a different tagboard: this one isn't flash. -Gateway users rejoice-
So, my two favorite shows have their season premieres this week. Here's my TV schedule for the week (lol):
Monday: Heroes (-screams in ecstacy-)
Tuesday: Big Bang Theory (looks pretty good)
Wednesday: N/A
Thursday: OMG The Office!!!!!
Friday: N/A
Yes . . . I know I'm a loser. Once again, GET USED TO IT. ;)

This is Sort of Wierd

2007-09-23T11:05:00.000-05:00

This is sort of wierd. Not the part about sleeping through a smoke alarm, but the fact that his bed was on fire.
You know what? My room is too hot. My room is above the garage, so it doesn't get heat or air conditioning. Yeah. I slept in the basement with my cat last night, cause it was just sweltering in my room.
This article is very interesting. Some linguists say that the Southern Drawl is spreading. Some say no. I read this, and I agree that it is spreading. I listened to people, and it does sound like that. ~~But that might be because we live in Indiana.~~

Britney, Britney, Britney

2007-09-20T19:51:00.000-05:00

Changed the layout . . . again. I really like this one.
Here's an interesting article about Britney and her kids. Speaking of Britney, you've probably seen this, but I felt like putting it up. This kid is a really bad actor.

Football

2007-09-17T15:19:00.000-05:00

This play is amazing. Legal too.
Ugh, I have a bad migraine. My head was pounding all day. We're not allowed to take medicine at school without a note from parents, so I couldn't do anything about it. Lunch was horrible- everyone has to scream to talk to one another. And we ran for 12 minutes today. Sucks for me. Lol.

2007-09-15T16:10:00.000-05:00

Okay, I'm going to give you a bunch of links to shadow shows with peoples hands. They're sweet. You may already have seen this one, from the Oscars Night show. This is a commercial for a car, the Phaeton. This is funny, and he has sound effects too! And this last video is one that my German teacher showed us, and everyone just stared at it like "Whoa".

Pigs and Cows

2007-09-14T15:21:00.000-05:00

Here's a sign that America is getting dumber.
My friend and I had a drawing contest today. I drew a pig and he drew a cow. But they were both stick figures. Our homeroom teacher said mine was better. He thought the "horse" didn't look realistic enough. It was funny.
This is awesome.
And this falls under the stupidest things I've seen category.

2007-09-13T18:54:00.000-05:00

This is the second stupidest thing I've read today. Notice the word second. The stupidest thing I've read today is probably a note from two people in my class. I'm in the middle of them, right? So they're passing it along, and I read the whole thing. In the end, I just kept the note. Here is what they said. (letter for letter)
OMG, I so faild the math tst.
What makes you think I care? I have my own stuff to worry about.
OMFG, why can't u just shut up? Why are u evn talkng 2 me? Srsly!
...Because you talked to me first.
Ur such a lzr! OMG, i cant bleve ur talkng 2 me!
...please shut up.
RT (retard)
I need to finish the test!
me 2 actually.
... oh my god. (The girl rolls her eyes at this part)
Then the bell rings.
They erupt into a shouting match about how the other was going to make them fail the test. Stupid, huh? The second girl to speak is a straight A student, and the other one gets straight Ds.
Humans could learn so much from this story.

An Odd Story

2007-09-13T18:53:00.001-05:00

Thursday, September 11, 2007

First, a moment of silence for all those fallen on September 11th.
Now, here's the post:
I can really appreciate this video.
On another note, let me tell you a story about me. A couple days ago, my cousins and I were at an amusement park and we were in line for a ride. My oldest cousin (who's younger than me) asked me if something really bites you as you go up the longest hill. At first I was like, "What?" but then I played along with whoever started the joke and said, "Oh yeah, that's what makes it fun!" Then my sister says, "Nice try Sarah." I glare at her for about seven seconds and then my other cousin goes, "Oh . . . you're lying!" Yep, that's my family for you.
Closing this post is a link to a bizarre article. Have a baby, win a car. Yes. I just said that.

Some Links

2007-09-13T18:45:00.000-05:00

Thursday, September 10, 2007

It's up! This will just be random thoughts from me, I'll update when I feel like it. Ohyeah. So starting off is a link to a very interesting article about women and their pay compared to men. Here is another about how most close friends are ones that you have met in real life. Both are interesting and a good read.
