Katie ---> out. MWAH.

Hey guys! I'm posting from my iPhone, so this gonna be a short post.

Hope everyone had a fun spirit week this week, and that you enjoyed the choir performances at the assembly. It was a lot of hard work, but also a lot of fun. Also wanted to mention the sophomore class party: I had tons of fun, and thanks to the officers for taking the time to plan this for us.

Just an FYI for next week's post - not sure it's going to happen, because I'll be in Jerusalem. But if I have wifi, I'll try and post!

Obviously I can't post a Photoshop picture of the week, so just think of something nice to picture in your head, like unicorns and butterflies.


See ya,

-Nathalia

GUESS WHAT.

I got my license! Hooooraaaaaay!

Now I just need to find a car.

Funny story/Wednesday's joke: my drive test. Ask me later if you want to know, because I'm done posting. Lots of homework to do.

Over and Out.
Cheers,
Ellen :)

facts as of late

I fell asleep during Spanish today. Not like oh I'm tired but I put the sunglasses on and took a nap. It was quite nice, really.

Our fish have become cannibals from lack of fish food.

I have a lot of math to do tonight.

But mom is making me clean my room which is stupid.

I wish I woke up tomorrow and it was snowy and school was cancelled and I got snuggle up in blankets and watch the whole first season of Glee and then read Harry Potter.

I almost cried in the car on the way home because we're listening to book 7 of HP again and we're at the point where Snape just died.

I think that the dinosaurs are hiding in underwater sea caves

My dog is driving me insane.

I have no inspiration and lots of homework. so this is going to be short.

Glee. Oh my gosh I love it. Kurt is amazing. so is Blaine. so is everybody.

"Blaine and I love football. Well, Blaine loves football. I love scarfs."

"I'm angry" "I'm Brittany"

"You look terrible...I look awesome"

Yeah. I may post more later.

Dress:



8 days until Jerusalem! So excited!

Love you all, Kylie

p.s. no theme this week because you all failed terribly last week.

Glee!

Hello everyone!

It's the end to another long week. Just take a deep breath and relax. Ahhh. Now that feels better, doesn't it?

I'm really excited for tonight, because I'm going to the father daughter laser tag event in a couple of hours! It's going to be awesome, I'm sure. I'm going to wear all black, maybe even put some eyeliner on to get in the spirit of the event. I love video games, (esp. games like Halo and Call of Duty) and so this is like real life action video game stuff. It's seriously just awesome.

And then there's this weekend. I've prepared for the choir weekend by finishing all my homework before 5 pm today. That was a really nice accomplishment, because it's going to be all work this weekend. Choir festival is an intense, but also a really enjoyable event. I'm so excited for it on Monday! Our preformance is going to be amazing, I just know it. Even if you don't like the choreography, I think we still sound pretty awesome. So yeah, please send kind thoughts to choir people this weekend so we can get through it all!

What else is there to say... OH YEAH. Smallville comes back tonight!!! After a month off (like a ton of other shows), it's finally back! I can't wait to see how the last half of the last season progresses. We're all waiting for the moment when Clark will put on his cape. I bet it's probably going to happen on the last episode, but it would be cool if it happened before that. Sigh. How many people even know about Smallville? Does anyone besides me watch it? If so, please leave a comment so I know I'm not alone :-)

Ok, Photoshop picture of the week. It was inspired by the return of Glee incase you can't guess :P You could use this pic as a wallpaper to show your inner Gleek too. Enjoy!




Peace out,

Nathalia

P.S. - here's the story that we're trying to keep up: Once upon a time there was a girl. She lived in the jungle with her pet dragon and enjoyed.../AND SUDDENLY SHE WALKED INTO A CLOSET. LIKE NARNIA./ The closet was filled with various overcoats and things, and the girl thought she was walking into Narnia! However, all she found at the back of the closet was wood. Then the girl sat down and cried herself to sleep, snuggling next to her pet dragon./

Punky is feeling Punky-ish

Punky is feeling Punky-ish.

Punky is going tro reflect on the day now. So don't leave poor Punky.

Hmmm....so...today, at Punky's school there was this thing called Honors Assembly. It's a special thing where Punky and her classmates could be recognized for their EXCEPTIONAL work in school. But Punky thinks its rigged. Everyone is special so everyone should recieve awards. Punky likes that idea very much.

Punky also thinks the end of the world is coming. No joke. -_- Something bad has literally happened everyday this year. Punky thinks she's gonna dieeeeeeeeeeeee. PUNKY SAYS TO STAY AWAY FROM THE EVIL NUMBERS- (11 and 14 and 22) For example, Punky's friends lost a basketball game to a bunch of teachers because three of the kid's jerseys were 11, 22, and 14. So HAH. Punky proved the evil number theory. ALSO- there's a really bad snow storm in the midwest and a cyclone is going to Australia. DUN DUN DUN. stay tuned for more.
Oh. And there's that whole thing in Egypt. I wonder what that's about (punky is being sarcastic- hint hint, cough cough, wink wink)

Punky has a question- What if YOU lost a mountain?

Punky needs to do homework. Punky needs to stop writing this. Punky says bye.

P.S- Punky hopes you were able to understand this Punky-ness.

Hi.

Hi. I am kinda bummed. :[

Hi. I am kinda stressed too... hw :(

Hi. I can't talk, I have to study math.

Hi. Joke:
Today's lacrosse practice. I can't say what happened over the internet, but it was the most hilarious thing of my life.

Bye.
Over and Out.
Ellen :)
OH wait Kylie's story... I can't remember what the last part was so then I'll just add...
AND SUDDENLY SHE WALKED INTO A CLOSET. LIKE NARNIA.

I hope that makes sense with the rest of the story. Bye.

Cheese Danish

Today is a good day. Here's why. I woke up to my alarm at 5:40, got out of bed around 6:40, went to Toads coffee at 7:20, bought a cheese danish and apple juice, and got to school early, around 8:05. I have a lot of homework to finish tonight, including reading to chapter 19 in Huck Finn (I need to be ahead because of History paper), three paragraphs in History, and roughly 70 pages in that MLK book. Lots of homework, but ohwell. If i finish early I'll watch Pretty Little Liars :)

Actually that's a lie. I'll get startedon Theology questions because that would be nice to get ahead.

I literally spend 30 minutes yesterday planning out my entire week/weekend based on homework.

good use of time?

actually, yes.

Dress of the week:



I'm super glad we got out sweatshirts yesterday. Mine is rather warm. I do not think anyone will have trouble remembering the year we graduate now :)

So Cailyn didn't post yesterday, so I guess I'll start the theme. It may not work, but maybe it will. I wonder how far we could keep this going. I'll start a story, and at the end of your blog post, you continue it. and we'll see what it turns into.

>Once upon a time there was a girl. She lived in the jungle with her pet dragon and enjoyed...

Let's keep it going! haha

What else is there to talk about.

>Flameboy is mean.

>My cat is adorable.

>My lunch is tasty.

>So is this apple juice.

yeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh.....

OH theology class. I have a feeling that this semester it is going to get quite messy. we're talking about morality and many people in our class have very strong feelings. It also doesn't help that I don't agree with Carasco's point of view at all. She keeps talking about the Christian Utopia, and honesty, etc. And I agree that honesty is great but in order to have a Christian Utopia, we would need to say "these people are wrong, and we (Christians) are right." Utopia for Christian's, sure but not for anyone else. It's like saying "We can have world peace as long as I'm the leader." That again would be saying someone is right and someone is wrong. Again, not a Utopia for everyone. Utopia, by definition, means perfect. So who decides what is perfect? Again, it would be a Utopia according the Christians with what she's talking about. And for a Christian Utopia (perfect world) to occur, obviously they would decide what is right and what is wrong, who is correct and who is misled etc. and they would need to change other people's views. Maybe they think they are helping create this Utopia, but not being a Christian and being forced to live in the "perfect world" would make me pretty angry. I do not think there is every a possibility for a Utopia (sorry to be pessimistic) because like I said, by definition, Utopia means perfect, and creating one would give someone the power to decide what is perfect. Everyone has their own Utopia because everyone is different.
Did that make any sense?
And she brought up the point of "is killing someone moral?" I am just hoping no one bring up the topic of abortion because that would get really heated. Is an embryo considered a human?
But then again, what if Utopia doesn't mean "perfect", it means "Different" and accepting differences.
Problem: Some people believe in fighting for what they believe. Then war starts. not so Utopia now is it?
So then we go back to accepting differences and not waging war.
Sure, little differences are fine, but what about the psychopath or that person who believes that killing people because "God said so" is ok? Then what? Do we accept that that's how he thinks and accept his differences? If not, then who decides what differences we accept and what differences we do not? He believed what he was doing was right, who's to tell him he's wrong? What if we're the crazy ones?

Comments?
Thanks for reading (if you did.)

Adios,
Kylie.

Whoops

So guess what guys. i officially got the okay to play softball!

EXCEPT. I have conditions where I cannot get a C or lower on an assignment before the season starts. Which I already have. But I got it before the terms were set, so, maybe there is still hope.

Whatever.

I would love to not fret about school for once.

My stomach still hurts.

HERE ARE MY PET PEEVES:

1) People who get mad when you don't explain things, then when you do explain things, they misinterpret them and get angry when you try and correct them.

2) People who say something with no humor whatsoever, then repeat it after no one laughs because they think they were too quiet. Making things louder does not make them funny.

3) When I have to not get any Cs at all to do something I am really excited about.

4) Vectors.

5) Facebook likes that really are not funny but somehow manage to acquire 16K likes.

6) Homophobia.

7) Reading 110 pages for homework. coughcarrascocough. Excuse me.

Ode to a stomach ache
So you're really good for nothing
But you give me an excuse
To not do any housework
And not be of any use
I really really hate you
My least favorite kind of pain
But I got to sit around
And not really use my brain.

What to do...

Hey everyone!



Happy Friday! I'm so glad this week is over. I kept thinking that one day was actually another and it was all very confusing. But now it is the weekend, which normally I would celebrate, but I have a lot of stuff going on... so yeah. Not all of it is fun.

So, pet peeves, huh? Well here are mine:


1. When people try to talk in an accent but they really can't.

2. When books have a cliff-hanger ending and the next book in the series isn't out yet.

3. When my nails accidentally mark up my piece of clay in ceramics.

4. When a t.v. show takes a break in the middle of a season (Glee, Smallville, etc.!)

5. When I get two copies of a magazine that I subscribe to...

6. When gel pens are not organized in correct chromatical order.

7. When my iPhone tries to autocorrect my words while I'm texting (sometimes helpful, most of the time not).

8. When on Bubbleshooter, you eliminate a color, and then the next ball is of the color you just eliminated, thus bringing more of that color back into play.


I feel sure I have more, I just can't think of them right now. I'm kind of checked out of thinking right now actually...



So Photoshop picture of the week! (It's also on my other blog, as my submission to the layers challenge). A really pretty vector image:

So yeah. Enjoy!

Over and out,

-Nathalia

21 days

UNTIL JERUSALEM. Hopefully we won't all be blow up. Kylie...
BTW we definitely need to have a shopping for supplies trip... Kylie...
And Sharon is Karen but not. Kylie...
OKAY SO
Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday! :) All of you made my birthday awesome.
Anyway, woah, this is crazy, but I literally have NOTHING due tomorrow! I did it all yesterday! And then there is nearly NOTHING due on Friday! WOAH. I feel like there's a tidal wave coming or something...
So not much to report I have some Harry Potter books I need to read :) :) :) (If Kelly reads this...)
BTW we got homework for our Jerusalem trip... draw a picture and write a story ?!?!?! Should be interesting... I'll try and find my inner artist :/
Anyway, today's religion class was interesting. We actually had a pretty interesting discussion. Interesting, amusing, thought-provoking... wow
Plus, what do you guys think of Huckleberry Finn? Il m'amuse so far...

So I was looking for a joke about cake, and instead I found this blog: http://www.jokesaboutcake.com/
What? I don't really understand...

Joke: Not particularly funny, but the answer made me think of AVPM so that made me laugh.

How many Slytherins does it take to light up a wand?



- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -



Two: one student to light it and one Head of House to give them an absurd amount of points for it.


Yep. Okay. That's all.
Over and Out.
Cheers,
Ellen :)

OH I FORGOT BUCKET LIST:
Uh... lots of things, how about
Live a life I'm proud of
We'll just leave it there for now.
Mmk bye again.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLEN BA NELLEN

I hope you have a very fun day! OH MY GOSH
YOUR BIRTHDAY IS ON...

TUESDAY!

crazy.

So I would write by bucket list but... Sorry :) I don't really have a bucket list anyways (Catherine will tell you a different story) because it seems like a goal in life. And once you complete your list, then what? Once you complete your life goals do are you finished?

Anyways.

Hows school treating you? We're almost 1/2 way there! through the school year as well as through High school!

that's a weird thought.

What else.

Dresses!
I love modcloth so much. So Nathalia does a PS picture a week? Maybe I'll do a dress a week. at least until I get through my list. haha



What else.
I say that too much.
What else what else what else...

My history B block has a blog. Based on our class pet. the penguin.
http://lastperiodfriday.blogspot.com/
Follow it!

hmm.....
I really have nothing to talk about today.

I hope Jane isn't busy tomorrow night. that would be a bummer.

kthxbye:D

Themes Anyone?

Sooo.  I'm running out of ideas. Just so ya know themes don't have to start on Monday, so if anyone wants to jump in, here's the "official" go-ahead.

Anyways.  i can't think of much, so I'm just gunna post my (so far) bucket list.  If I forget anything, go ahead and lemme know or leave a comment, and I'll put it in.

1. Go down to the Basement of the 800 building

2. Travel the world (w/ ellen)

3. After traveling the world live in an apartment somewhere with ellen

4. Crash a Newport Dance (^.^)

5. Go to Scott's (1nce a year minimum)

6. Publish a book/send one off to a publisher/finish one... (preferably before graduating college)

7. Get a Boyfriend (^.^) (preferably soon)

8. I forget what i'm doing with Kylie (little help?)

9. Find a way to get my kids to go to the same preschool as Puffkin's kids (preferably without her knowing)

10. "discover" a country in the library and plan the takeover

11.  .....any others?

I guess this could be the theme for the week.  It's not perfect, but whatcha gunna do with something that you just got out of thin air?

Winterbowling (It's a pun... It's puny)

Yeah. Winter Ball. Did you go? I did not. I want to know if I actually missed out on anything. I went winter bowling. That was really fun. I am not a very good bowler. Except then I was the second game. Maybe I just cannot do anything right the first time. OH WELL. It was a blast.

Right now I am watching What A Girl Wants on ABC Family. Life is good.

Ode to not having a boyfriend:
Not having a boyfriend
Can sometimes be fun
You are not tied down
To the one called "the one"
You are free to be flirty
And are ready to mingle
You have no commitments
You're wonderfully single

Yeah I really want a boyfriend.

Katie's Weekly Challenge ---> Channel your inner child

Song of the Week ---> Good Vibrations by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch

The Silent Treatment

Do you know how hard it is to give someone the silent treatment? Especially when they're doing something funny, and you just can't help but laugh. Yeah. It's not easy. But with much practice, I'm sure I, and a few other people, can improve this skill. Moving on-

So, how was your week? Mine was alright, thank you very much. It ended quite nicely, because in religion (last period) we did this exercise where we wrote about our high and low points during the past 24 hours, and then talked with our desk partner about each other's highs and lows.It was really relaxing and refreshing to just talk with someone about life, especially about the things that might make you sad or upset, but you don't really say anything. You could apply this to your own life too! Just take a minute to talk with someone, family or friend (even stuffed animal!) about your problems. Stuffed animals won't even talk back to you if you just want someone to confide in and not get a response. Don't worry, you're not crazy if you sit in your room alone, talking to stuffed animals. Really, you're not. I do it all the time :D

Hey guess what? Since I was feeling super creative when I got home, you get 2 Photoshop Pictures of the Week! They are both of this PINK dog (that's the brand name because no, the dog is not the color pink) that I got a couple years ago as a present. Enjoy!






P.S. If you are going to Winterball, have fun! I wish I could go... yeah. TTYL!

-Nathalia

Rejected.

Depression hurts. No words can't even begin to express how some of us feel right now (you know who you are).

I'm too depressed to even post.

Bye. (If it's okay with Nathalia, I'll post something special tmrw morning)

Not doing things on time.

1. When teachers don't post grades (GERAGHTY)
2. When you can't find an assignment that you did to turn in, or when you totally forget to do one
3. Being really late to an important event
4. Not planning my bday in time, and now the weekend I was going to do, I have something else! Granted, this thing will be awesome and I can't wait, but I'm still bummed cuz now I don't know when to have a birthday.
5. When someone says they will do something, and then they don't
6. When I didn't get my license soon enough, and now instead of 6 months for waiting after, its a year?!?!?!? (<-- is this true?)

Other things that bother me:
1. When people completely ignore you
2. When you get a completely unsatisfactory answer to a very important question
3. When your phone dies, just as you need it
4. The dumbass laws about marriage. WTF.

On the brighter side, things I really like:
1. Winning at Presidents
2. Playing cards with Haley (the freshmen) (aka a fork fight)
2.5. Some freshmen
3. Hanging out with friends
4. Listening to Jennifer quote Mean Girls
5. Handbells
6. Warm cookies
7. Harry Potter
8. The Lion King
9. PIXAR
10. Not doing homework

Agree? Disagree? Comment with thoughts if you want!
Joke: because I really want an root beer float right now
How do astronauts eat their ice cream?

In floats!!!

How do you make a dinosaur float?

(this is a really good one)







Put a scoop of ice cream in a glass of root beer and add one dinosaur!
BAHAHAHAHAH okay not funny :)

Alright.
Over and Out.
Cheers,
Ellen :)

Peeves.

So basically I was going to be funny and put a picture of Peeves from Harry Potter here (heh pun.) but you know what?

PEVEES WAS NOT IN THE MOVIES! WHERE WAS HE? AHHHH

thats a pet peeve.
I actually have a lot of peeves.
heres a list of the first few that come to my mind.

1. Hair in the bathtub/shower
2. Feet (not the person, the flabby flesh thing attached to your leg.)
3. People who have dumb or annoying laughs
4.When really fat people wear jeggings/leggings. I mean I totally support embracing your body type and all, but is that really necessary?
5. Negative people. Brighten up. sing a song. do anything. if our lives are lakes, stop being a brick.
6. People who don't take a hint.
7. when someone straightens their hair but misses a section in the back.
8. people saying gay or retarded.
9. the number 47 >:(
10. She who must not be named (xxxxx)
11. people who talk to loudly or too much. shut. up.

That's enough for now.
It annoying because three shows I enjoy watching on hulu all come out on Tuesdays which are my busiest days of the week homework and school wise (usually, thank God for winterum) so I really want to watch them but can't. gaaa.

story:
During Christmas morning breakfast Devin was telling us this plan he has:
1. buy a cat.
2. name it Peeves
3. tell everyone it's his pet peeves.

Good job Devin. Gold star.

You all should go check out my moms blog if you don't already (it's a photo a day blog) --> islandfever44.blogspot.com and leave comments because she really enjoys those. I'll get everyone who got prizes or whatever those soon.

Ok. Golden Globes. Amazing.

Highlights:

-Colin Firth in the King's Speech winning best actor. I love him so much and he did an amazing job in the movie. if you have not seen it it, go see it.

-CHRIS COLFER! how adorable is he? <3
http://www.hulu.com/watch/207732/golden-globes-supporting-actor-tv-series-chris-colfer

-The Kids are All Right. I was really glad this movie won best movie, plus Annette Bening winning. Plus Chris Colfer winning for his role at Kurt. And yet my moms can't get married. Does that even make sense? I don't understand the government sometimes.

-Olivia Wilde's dress & shoes=LoveLoveLoveLoveLove.

More Golden Globe moments but that's all for now! What were you favorites?

Pet Peeve!!

Hey guys.  Theme for the week anyone?  I decided that I would make it Pet Peeves.  So, If you have no idea what to talk about you can just ramble about some annoyance of yours.  It seems like a sweet deal to me, i personally like being able to rant without ranting at someone.  

Irony.  I HATE it when people say things are ironic when they are coincidences.  THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.  

If something can be classified as a "coincidence"  it is usually not "ironic".  

sorry about the short post but...this pretty much sums it up...

Not Knowing What to Post

Today
Is a Saturday
Rain is drip drip dripping
From the roof of my messy house
But it isn't really raining
At all

And so here I am
Sitting
Thinking
Waiting
For something to happen
Anything
On a dull red couch
But nothing's really coming
At all

And you're sitting there
Reading this
Thinking, "Katie
Stop writing this.
Blog for me.
This is stupid."
But I really have nothing to say
At all.
