BlogThings.com

Okay, so there is this super amazing website called BlogThings.com and it has a whole bunch of fun quizzes a person can take. I heard about this website on my friends blog, Thoughts of the Nameless BlogWriter. I took many of these quizzes and wanted to share my results:

What Keyboard Key are You?

-You are Tab.
Some people might say that you're alwasys spaced out. You do tend to be a dreamer, but you are also a great multitasker. You work quickly and efficiently. So it's no problem if you goof off a little while you're working. And if people wnat to think you're flaky, that's fine. You're getting more work done than they are.

What Kind of Breakfast are You?

-You are Danishes
Indulgent and a bit greedy, you eat whatever you feel like eating...nutrition be damned. You have a total sweet tooth, and you pretty much give into it whenever you feel like it.While it treating yourself is nice occasionally, try eating a vegetable every once and a while. Lay off the donuts and muffins, unless you want to be sporting a "muffin top" of your own!

What's Your 80's Karaoke Song are You?

-You are "Like A Virgin"
If you were transported back to the 80s, your life would be all about absorbing everything. You are practically a virgin (or born again virgin) when it comes to the 80s, and all things 80s are very interesting to you. You would sign your heart out to every Madonna hit and memorize every line in the Breakfast Club. You'd have the biggest record collection, roller skate like a champ, and would be a dead ringer for Molly Ringwald or Kirk Cameron!

The Flip Flop Test

-Your Flip Flops say you are Idealistic
You are hopeful and romantic. You love many people and many things. You aren't unrealistic, but you do imagine things in the most ideal way possible. You are a dreamer. If something exists, you've probably thought about it. You don't think about what is, you think about what could be. Your ideal warm weather place: Fiji

What Alcoholic Beverage are You?

-You are Rum
You're the life of the party, and a total flirt. You are also pretty picky about what you drink. Only the finest labels and best mixed cocktails will do. Except if you're dieting - then it's Diet Coke and Bacardi all the way

What Reptile are You?

-You are a Snake
You have extraordinarily sharp senses. You sense what's going on almost before it happens. You connect with the world. People instantly feel close to you. You are a natural protector. You take good care of your friends. You are an ambitious person. Your ambitious drives you. But while you are ambitious, you are also humble. You are thankful for everything you have.


What Piercing are You?

-You are an Eyebrow Piercing
You are unique, quirky, and more than a little eccentric. You cultivate the weirder sides of your personality, and you don't mind sharing them. Ever since you were a kid, you've had strong opinions. You've never been like everyone else, and you're okay with that. And you've always been able to tell people exactly what you think - even when they don't want to hear it. You love to create, dream, imagine, and communicate. You live in your own universe. And unlike most people who live in their own little world, you're happy to invite anyone in!

My New Vegan-ish Lifestyle

So, I am finally getting serious...about dieting. I have cut out ALL forms of soda--diet and all. No more fast food-sadly-and most processed foods are gone from my diet, too. I now eat mostly fruits and vegetables along with Slim-Fast and Special K products. I don't eat much bread so I get my necessary carbs elsewhere. I am going to take my dog on walks now; I guess that's healthy for both of us. I will also exercise at home and not sit on my ass as much. I don't really know what else I can do for this new vegan-ish lifestyle except maybe smaller portions on normal supper food. I think I am happy about this change. At least, I know it will make me happy in the long run. After a while I will look back and think, "Wow! I'm happy I did this!" Hopefully, it won't take long to start thinking that...

Happy Father's Day!!!

Oh, happy day! One of my favorite holiday's in the year is Father's Day. I really don't know why but I think that the reason is mostly the fact that my dad is just awesome and I get a full day to show my appreciation towards what he does for me on a daily basis. And my dad is easy to shop for, so watching him open the AMAZING gifts my mom and I got for him is fun, too.

This year my dad got:

-A six-pack of his favorite beer, Guinness Extra Stout (tradition- I get this for him every year, it's the one thing I know he will absolutely love)
-A super-huge, three pound container of Planter's Cocktail Peanuts (again, tradition- it goes with beer perfectly)
-A fifth of Bacardi Light Rum (gotta have the rounded booze effect)
-A four-pack of Guinness Extra Stout 16 oz. glasses (made directly from the company- can you say authentic?)
-A three CD pack (The Essential Janis Joplin-Limited Edition; beer+booze+OUTSTANDING tunes=one great Father's Day)
-Festival Express DVD (a two-disc documentary of the train trip across Canada with Janis Joplin, The Band, and The Grateful Dead- my dad's personal favorite band and MORE Janis)
-A Simpsons Talking Card from Me ( Front of Card: Homer and Lisa "Being a dad is a big responsibility. You have to know what's what..." Inside of Card: Homer: "Doughnut?" Lisa: "No, thanks. Do you have any fruit?" Homer: "This has purple stuff inside. Purple is a fruit." -- 'And what can sort of pass as what.')
-And a motion card from Mom (Front of Card: Pic of a Male Animated Cat "You're a wonderful Husband, a great Father, and a Kind, Intelligent Man. What else can I say? Except maybe..." Inside of card: Pic of a Female Animated Cat jumping at the Male Animated Cat "Hubba, Hubba!"

I made my dad open them up at about 12:15 a.m. yesterday morning because he had to work today. He loved it, of course. I love my father and love it even more when he knows that I appreciate all the things he does for me and my mom.

Boredom...

Picture it...a teenage girl sits in a dark room in front of a bright computer screen dressed down in pajamas and a Guinness Extra Stout baseball cap on. She stares at the screen doing and saying nothing. The teenager is me and I have no idea what to write about. I suppose I could start off saying that I need diet tips from the two people that occasionally look at this blog and the one that did once. No, that was not a stab at blog-reading loyalty, it's just me being unintentionally meanish. Another thing I could say is that I can't wait for New Moon to hit theaters and actually wish school had started and it was November 19th. But it's not so I can look forward to the fact that today is June 17th and in less than a month, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be in theaters! I've been waiting for that one since last June when I walked out of the theater after seeing Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Ooohhh!!!! Maybe I should ask a question......okay, I will, if you insist. Does it make since for a fifteen-year-old girl to want to be an actress all of the sudden when she has expressed no interest in this career before? Well, she has, but was never serious about it. (Psst!!! The girl is me...in case you didn't know) The only problem? I'm kinda shy in school but I desperately want to be an actress. I've got it all planned out (BTW, Rod, if you are reading this, Plan Fishbowl has been revised...again), I graduate high school and go to California-LA, baby!-and find an agent that finds me perfect for acting. While he or she is setting up appointments or whatever for my big break, I take acting classes. I try for a year...if nothing works out, I go back to Ohio to college. I'll take drama and work on acting while focusing on becoming a director. If none of this works out, I'll just marry rich...tell me-and be honest-is this sounding like some pathetic little dream? Or is it possible?!? I want it to be possible! It has to...I'd be devastated if it doesn't. I also want to write a book or two but I don't know if I can. I can't stick with one big project for very long. JSYK, I'm going to make this work. One day, I'll be strolling down the red carpet in a stunning designer dress talking to Angelina Jolie like we're best friends. That's right...all five feet, two and a half inches of me...I can't believe I just dumped my biggest hope to all of the non-existing people that read this blog. But, all well...I'm not bored anymore...just depressed...

Hatred

"I realized that I despised him with a fiery passion so deep that even the demented creatures in the deepest pits of Hell envied my hate for that man."

The Swedish Freaks called ABBA

As I sit here in my computer chair looking like a freak with my amazingly bulky headphones inches above my ear, I think hard about the songs I am listening to. Then I start to hope that no one breaks into my house because I won't be able to hear them what with the volume of "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" by ABBA jacked through the roof and me being here, in my dining room, home alone and defenseless. Then I wonder how many people have really ever heard of ABBA. Then, I feel ashamed of myself as I take a sip of Pepsi and shout to myself, "YOU ARE ON A DIET!" But, fact of the matter is, this music is awesome...and REALLY loud. Who are ABBA, all you people who don't know real, classic music ask? They happen to be four totally awesome Swedish singer/songwriters from the seventy's. Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, Bjorn's wife, Agnetha Faltskog, and Benny's friend, Anni-Frid 'Frida'Lyngstad made up the famous band. They were all Swedish rockstars who got their start in a Eurovision Song Contest where they entered their song "Waterloo" in 1974, winning, and putting them on the U.S. Top Ten Charts. Over the course of the seventy's and into the early eighty's the band pumped out songs like Dancing Queen, Take a Chance on Me, Money, Money, Money, Voulez Vous, Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight), and, what is the main title of the recent Meryl Streep picture, Momma Mia. Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus wrote most of their songs with the occasional help of Stig Anderson. Their songs truly are amazing...go out and Google them...listen for yourself.

Why the Economy is in the Toilet...

To the person viewing this blog...
Our economy is in bad shape. That's no secret. And believe it or not, the reason is perfectly clear--don't listen to all the people who say that the economy situation is a mystery. The reason is obvious. The main people in charge in the control center for the United States are stupid. We are in a recession because of them. It was bound to happen, we all had to have seen it. Once the businesses and government in this country started focusing less on where to get oil and more on making phones that do just about everything but call people, we were (for the lack of a better term) screwed. The most recent example I have noticed is about the prisoner situation from Guantanamo Bay prison. They need to move these prisoners, right? So the U.S. says, "Sure! We'll take 'em!" And instead of putting them in the already payed for Federal Prisons, what do they do? The spend 200 million dollars to move the to an island. Federal Prisons are already payed for and that's their purpose...to hold prisoners. Yet we question why the economy is in the toilet as we dish out hundreds of millions of dollars to solve other countries problems rather than fixing our own first... This is where we're sending our future? Into a world full of destruction and unpaid debts? That doesn't seem fair if you ask me...
