The Internet Party

This is a funny video I found today. The Facebook part cracks me up everytime. And something tells me Ammie would like the Snopes part. The end is dirty and not really funny, but overall, its a good video

Song Tracks


I'm such a weird child. My choice of music is so unlike everyone elses. Even as a kid, I ran around the playground singing songs that no one else had ever heard of. Sitting in the car with my mother, listening to my mp3 playing with her, I came to realise that I've always been a little bit different. Its not just the music, though that is a big part of it, partly because its a big part of my life. The movies I watched, the games I play, and just my overall mannerisms were so strange compared to the people my age. I think I've always been a little bit more grown up and yet still a child. I dance with my dolls with Josh Radin playing in the background. I love the fact that at parties with my friends, I'm the one sitting with the parents talking about real things. But I also love that I still sit in my room and play. I'm still an innocent person, and I'm ok with that. I think the fact that I'm weird and innocent is why a lot people like me. I think all those little things I do are what made me into the crazy person writing this. I think we need to be different. We need the little quirks that make us stand out. They are what make us and they are what make others love us. My weird friends were the best people I knew. They were the ones that loved me the most and the ones that weren't afraid to show their true colors just because others thought it was weird. They were the ones....that made life worth while.


Here's my list of songs that not a single teen I've meet has ever heard of before...but are still bomb ass:
(In no particular order!)

Song Name - Artist - Why its Awesome - Link

1) Tell Her - Del Amitri - This song makes me think of a scene from Scrubs where JD is in love with Elliot, but he just lets her leave. So sad. - http://profile.imeem.com/H4PUzUa/music/iZVtWfph/del_amitri_tell_her_this/

Magazine Girls


Why is losing weight such a difficult thing? And why is it that I want to do it so badly? I look at the girls in the magazines and I just don't get why I don't look like them. I mean, I don't eat that much and when I do eat, the foods not that bad. I'll admit that I drink alot of soda but come on, if I stopped drinking soda, I would still be no closer to looking like this. I don't understand why all these girls around me are so thin and beautiful and why I'm so...not. Its been driven into our heads that in order to be loved you have to be in top shape. But why is that the top shape? Why should I have to push myself so hard to look like these women when alot of them didn't do a damn thing to look like that? My best friend is the skinniest person I've ever met and she hasn't worked out a day in her life. She eats way more than I do and she lies around the house all day blabbing on about how unpretty she is. I kinda want to snap her tiny little body in half, but I withstand my urges. I looked in the mirror today only to find myself hating every inch of my body. Not too long ago I was finally starting to like little bits of what I saw, but now my self esteem has dropped even further down the scale of self hatred. It was like a took a "love myself pill" and I'm coming down off the high only to find myself worse off than before. I've reached the point where I'm trying to trick myself into believing that I'm prettier than I am, but when I pass I mirror it hits me that I am a bigger liar that I thought. I'm so sick and tired of trying to lose weight. I've even started to pray for it because I just don't have the strength anymore. Praying is not something I do often. I only pray maybe one every two months but I just want to pretty so bad. I want to look like those other girls. I want to be able to buy clothes without crying. I just want to be happy. Is that too much to ask for?

Magic Tricks

For some reason today I had the urge to perform magic tricks. I don't know why it happens, but every few years something comes over me and I feel I must become the next Houdini. Maybe its because when I was about 12 I read an amazing book about Harry Houdini's life or maybe its because every child wants to impress there family by bursting into the living room with a blanket tied to their neck and a stick they've covered in black paper to look like a wand. I guess I just haven't grown out of that yet...and I guess I don't really want to. Anyway I found a video on VideoJug about how to make your fingers smoke and I flipped out, running into the living room and demanding that my parents watch me. Though the smoke was too small for my parents to see, I was still excited that I actually did magic. I later became inraged because both times I tried to show my mother the light was too dim or the smoke just wasn't visible enough for her. Eventually the trick just stopped working and I whole heartedly believe that whenever someone is actually looking, no matter how well you can do something, you will never be able to do it in front of them! And that, my friends, is why Houdini will never be matched!

Six Packs?

Why is it that almost every girl I talk to and every guy I meet thinks that what makes a person attractive is having a six pack? It blows my mind that our society has been so dumb down that the only thing we can think of as "hot" is the fact that someones abdominal muscle can be seen through there stomachs. Did you know that not every person, no matter how hard they work at it, can even have a six pack? Just like not every person can run a marathon and not every person can sing a song on key, not evey person has the proper body for a six pack. So why can't these stupid people find something else to like about others? Oh that's right, because they are stupid. I'm not saying that I'm not stupid myself sometimes, but I can find plenty of things to say I like about the opposite sex. For example, I love it when someone can make me pee my pants with laughter. What's that you say? Oh, what do I like physically? Maybe that's my problem. I don't really care much when it comes to physical features. I don't care if someone is skinny or chubby, tall or short, brown haired or blonde. I really couldn't care less. Maybe I'm the weird one. I find most people, male or female, attractive. I'm always falling in love with my best friends and if you know me, you know how different my best friends are. The main things I love are deep blue eyes, pretty smiles, and the ablity to make me laugh harder than my favorite tv show. All in all, I fall for anyone who is nice to me. Which mean that I'm always getting hurt.

Anyway, here's my list of people who don't have a six pack, but are still damn sexy!


1) Hugh Grant

Have you seen this man? He's gorgeous! I don't care how old he is, I'm going to hunt him down and marry him...PROMISE!





2) Kal Penn
Am I the only person who finds Kal Penn attractive? I mean, yeah, he has a pretty big nose, but he's cute! And totally funny!



3) Drew Barrymore
She is so beautiful. And talented to boot!















4) Zach Braff
How adorable! So many of us wish we were that dog, eh.












5) John C. McGinley
Yet another wonderful man from Scrubs. With a smile like that, who needs a six pack! Am I right, am I right?!?!










6) Hugh Laurie
My mother thinks that if I were really around House, I would kill him. But I find both House and the actor that plays him very sexy. I guess I have a thing for older guys!
Well, I think I've made my point! Being attractive is more than the shape of someones abs. We have to stop taking one look at things and judging them from a glance. Now...Just one more picture, just for me!

Um...Hi

Wow....long time no...type, huh? Here's whats going on, ok

I'm horribly sick...ok, not horribly, but still. Most people I know have the tumtum flu or are hiding in their houses so they don't catch it. Here's my sickness: It started out on Sunday with a feeling in my throat that felt awfully like Strep. Which I know alot about because I just so happen to get it everytime the stars change shape. My mother took me to the doctor. God knows if I don't catch it soon, I'd be sick for a month. After sitting in the waiting room swimming with so many germs that I had a better chance of walking out of there with an illness rather than walking in, the doctor, after looking at me for 5 minutes, told me he didn't know what I had but he went ahead and threw some pills at me, cause you know, that always helps. On Monday my throat had gotten worse, but not much else happened, so lets skip on to Tuesday, shall we? I woke up unable to breath. It seems my nose thought I didn't enough problems already. And after blowing my nose so many times that little pieces of my brain come out, I said screw it and sucked water up my nose. Which, surprisingly help alot. I blew my nose for one of the last times today and if it weren't for the horrble pain in my head, my scratchy throat, and the fact that I might throw up at any moment, I feel great!
