Blehhh

That is kind of what I am feeling right now.

I tried making muffins but they failed.

And now I'm all depressed like because this one friend YET AGAIN is busy and I'm all can you really not make any time for me? Thanks a lot.

On a brighter note, I got the horseshoe in softball! It is given to a player after every game who did well... and now I feel really good about this because my game on Thursday absolutely terribly.

Aghh. I really do not have the motivation to do work.

I got banned from watching TV on week days until sports are over. This kind of sucks.

Challenge of the Week ---> Make a 6 with your right hand and a backwards 6 with your right foot.

Song of the Week ---> Green Eyes by Coldplay

Katie ---> out. MWAH.

I Have Expanded My Horizon

Hello Everyone, Happy Friday!!!

I have expanded my horizons today at BC. How about you? I personally learned a lot and had a ton of fun. The classes were interesting and definitely gave me something to think about regarding the field I want to go into the future.

How about this weather? I thought it was going to rain today, but it's so sunny and warm right now. Cailyn and I are going to go and lie in the grass now. It's going to be great.

You know what you guys should check out? This really adorable game called ilomilo, for the Xbox and Windows Phone. I learned about it in my video game class this morning. So yeah.


Photoshop pic of the week (you get three in one-score!): Another Jerusalem pic, sharpened to the max with subtle color boost. On the left is the original, on the right the retouched version, and in the middle the black and white version.










Going to soak up the sun!

So I finally posted.

I posted.

---------:)

^^^ I was thinking of just posting that, but that would've been dumb.

So, this week has been.....alright. I think.

We formed an ANOMIA League :) So that's cool.

Today was bootcamp in fitness. I'll probably be sore tomorrow and Cailyn......well, she'll probably just die. Her deltoids hurt. #justsayin'

OH. We had french today and we made a video for a project. The video was basically us (Cailyn and I) being expert "voleurs" and kidnapping stuff. It was fun to make and hopefully Madame enjoyed it. It was kind of awkward though in class. Dr. Wittmann was there to observe and her expression on her face was priceless. I honestly don't know what she thought of it.

Okay so I'm in the library and some Middle Schooler is playing FRIDAY. hahah bonus. On our way to service today, we (Amy, Kylie, and I) decided we should remake that song and make a video. It shld be exciting. It's FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY!!!! except not. well it will be tomorrow.

Speaking of tomorrow, we're going to "expand our horizons." (except Cailyn- who can't expand her shoulders) I hope the conferences are good and there are people I know in each class. I think we probably all signed up for similar conferences.....which ones did you sign up for????

GAH. SOMEONE IS PLAYING JUSTIN BIEBER NOW....outloud -_-

Ouch. My bruise hurts. I got it from the stupid coffin.

Okay, well I think I need to go and do something dumb. bye.

Yay Ravens...

I really love playing a sport. Seriously. I love my team.
We had our second game today. It was really hard.
I have to glue my mole project and edit French.
You have a life, said the tree, try and use it.
There is my better adoption of the poem.

Joke:
Ummm so this is kind of depressing but it's all I can think of right now.
So a brunette is standing next to the road, jumping up and down saying "98, 98, 98, 98, 98." A blonde comes along and says, "That looks like fun, can I join?" Brunette says sure. The blonde goes and stands in the road and jumps up and down and says, "98, 98, 98, 98, 98." Then a semi-truck comes along and swishes her. The brunette who is still standing on the side of the road continues to jump up and down saying, "99, 99, 99"

How depressing is that? But that's the first thing that came to mind.
Over and Out.
Cheers,
Ellen :)

Gleek

FIRST THINGS FIRST

Yes.
I am so pissed off that Glee isn't going to be on again until April 12.
21 DAYS???!!!!!!
i will not survive.

OMFGOMFGOMGOFMGFOMGOFMGOFMGFOMOGFMOFMGOMGOFMGFOMFGOMGOMF
FINALLY
YES
YES
YESSSSSS
I watched that episode during history
and then during tech
and then when i got home
and then at like 1:00 the next morning.
They are so adorable. I really hope they don't break up.
Which they probably will.
Which is stupid.
But they are going to prom together.
Which is the best thing ever.
If you haven't seen this episode then you should follow these steps:
1) go hit your head against a wall
2) go watch it
3) repeat steps one-2 until you have memorized the entire episode.

So, today Jerusalem was bombed. just a 2 pound bomb near a bus stop, but it injured 25 and severely injured 15. Naturally Israeli Militants suspect the Palestinians. Also rockets from Gaza are being sent to Beersheeva. So, that's cool.
Also this whole situation in Libya. Now the US is involved. And sending missiles into a place possibly occupied by his family members. That's like if Libya hated Obama and killed his children.
Really America?
Also, the leader of the US military presence in Libya said flat out that the US is good at getting these things started (wars and such) and that once we got everything all rilled up, we would leave and let them and other countries deal with the problem.

Because we all know the US is good at blowing things up and then running away.

I want to move to Canada. Or Switzerland.

What's new in my life?
Not too much.
------------------

So.
I'm turning 16 pretty soon. which is fun.

So no theme this week. I think themes kind of fail because no one posts or reads anyone else's posts. To answer my previous post, the largest cat was 46 pounds and named Himmey. Congrats to Nathalia for getting 1/2 right!
Dress of the week:


What else. What else what else what else.
I love this weather.
It's still cold enough so its wintery ish, but today looks like it's going to be warm and it's super sunny right now which I like. I keep feeling like it's summer because I'm wearing my favorite pair of American Eagle jean shorts under this skirt.

Have you tried T2U? go buy some at the FRidge.
It will change your life.
you know what else will change your life?



THAT GLEE EPISODE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ohk
i g2g. But i'll try to post regularly now.
Bye chicas,
Kylie.

Songwriting

I'm trying to write a song. It sounds so cool, making your own music, and so I want to write a song. I feel like my style would be inspired by Ingrid Michaelson and the soundtrack of Juno... haha...

If I can upload music onto this site, I'll put the song on here... if you actually want to listen to it. It's gonna be legit.

That's such a great movie.

I need to write history. I have one page left. I can do this!

I did my chemistry project on Justin Bieber. While listening to Justin Bieber. What of it

Got to go write!

Challenge of the week ---> impress yourself

Song of the Week ---> I'll be watching you by Sting

Katie ---> out. MWAH.

A musical week

Hey Everyone, Happy Friday!

As I sit here in the lounge, I can't help thinking about this very fun and musical week.

Obviously this week was tech week for Oliver! (which you all need to come see!), and so there was lots of singing and dancing. Being on sound crew, I've been with the cast all this week and I can't seem to get the songs out of my head! The cast is really great - everyone is doing a great time putting on a fabulous song. Please come out and support them. Also this week was Glee! It was quite exciting to see Kurt and Blaine's relationship develop, because you know we've all been waiting for it. I personally loved all the songs the Glee cast did this week, especially the original songs. They were really fun and upbeat.

And to answer last week's post about the longest snake: It was 33 feet long and found in Indonesia! Congrats to Kylie who got half the question right and seemed to be the only person that cared to answer...

Well... yeah.


So this week's Photoshop picture of the week is going to be a side by side comparison. The original is on the left and the retouched version on the right. As you can see, Photoshop is a very powerful tool. It make the pic on the right more intense, but not so much so that if people only saw that version, they would say it was fake.






Well over and out - hope to see you at a preformance of Oliver!

-N

Hungry

I am really really really really hungry. I've already eaten a ton of salad, yogurt, a bag of pistachios, an orange, and a bowl of cereal. I still want food.

Wasn't Kylie's challenge for all of us to post this month? Well way to go Kylie... you failed... :) :) :) just kidding I still love you

APUSH --> SO BEHIND --> gotta go

Joke: TAMMI LEE. Ahahahahahah she's so funny.
But seriously:
credit to Jennifer:

Did you hear about the guy whose whole left side was cut off?

Well, he's all right now!

Over and Out.
Cheers,

A Sporty Weekend(:

This long weekend I have 3 hours of softball, 2 soccer games, and another 2 1/2 hours of softball. I love this! It's so awesome to actually feel active, meaning I can eat whatever crap I want and know that I'll work it off. YAY.

PS: A 3 1/2 minute wall sit hurts like a mofo. I mean, after about 2 minutes, it stops burning and just feels really weird, but when you get up, you're all "Ow, I feel like someone filled my legs with Rasberry Jello" (not lime because that flavor is disgusting).

I have so much APUSH to do this weekend, so this is short.

I'm bored... my friend just bailed on me :(

Challenge of the Week ---> do your homework... like, now...

Song of the Week ---> Don't Pass Me By by The Beatles

PS: Kylie... DON'T LOSE THE BET.

Katie ---> out. MWAH.

You know what I really love? Animal crackers. They are delicious. Except that I can't decipher what the animals are supposed to be half the time. Ah well. They all taste yummy.

AH. I WANT FRIES. Gosh darn it Cailyn. >:(


Fine. I'm ending on a huffy note. Here's your Photoshop picture of the week:

Good day my friends, good day.

I love you all,
--Kylie

So...y'all are screwed.

Yea, I forgot to find out who gets killed this week, and since its not like you could help it anyways, Imma just put it out there that our darling puffkin went on a killing spree and killed everyone.  sorry ellen, angels don't have the power to convict....or get rid of.

Mafia's too difficult with only 6 people.

French was fun today, i feel like there was a lot of vocabulary about killing, killers, and ...a dead person.

Anyways, I want to just rant for a few minutes about how oblivious we all are.  Honestly do you know anything about your friends? I just read "We Wear the Mask"  for english homework and it really struck a nerve with me because we talk all the time about how we conform to what we think would be the most acceptable to others but do we realize how applicable it is to us?  I really want to know how well we know our friends.

For some reason I took the reading into dramatic terms thinking that the mask completely changes who they are.  For example, I am a generally immature/random person, but is that really what I'm feeling all the time?  Honestly, is that what you think to be true?   If so, I want you to think about your own lives and the feelings you keep locked from everyone and as a personal challenge, if you are up to it, I want you to share it with someone you trust.

I can understand the reluctance to do it, probably more than most of you, but if it's something thats effecting you and keeping you back then pushing forward is better than letting it keep dragging you down.

I know it's a lot easier to dish it out than to actually take it, and considering I won't be taking it and I'm the one annoyed by it that should tell you a lot about how messed up I am.

If you don't take the challenge, just think about your friends, sometimes you could be missing something huge, and not even notice.

-- going with a different sign off today

*bunny loves you*

He ate my heart.

He ate ate ate my heart.

Yeah, that's what's up right now.

God I wish I was a good dancer. That's the thing, I think I could be a good dancer if I actually had the confidence to, like, dance, you know? I guess there's a difference between dancing in my room to dancing with other people.

Blah blah blah (ke$ha) (Ke-money sign-ha)

Lawl I love glee so much.

I AM SO RANDOM.

I love softball. It's so fun. I really want to infield by the end of the season.

He ate my heart.

That boy is a monster.

He ate ate ate my heart.

Gaga is so amazing. She's one of my sources for APUSH.

Katie's Weekly Challenge ---> Step outside of your comfort zone!

Song of the Week ---> Monster by Lady Gaga

Katie ---> out. MWAH.

It's Friday.... and it's raining.

Meh. Ugh. It's raining, and as the rain falls for longer periods of time, I keep feeling sicker. I think I'm coming down with something. Like the flu. I hope I feel better ASAP - I really don't want to miss my drama tech rehearsal tomorrow.

My sickness aside, I'm glad this week is over. It's been a fairly ok week, and now that I've gotten my math test I had to make up out of the way, I have to focus (and stress) about the other papers and tests due in the not so distant future. Sigh. Please everyone, help each other stay sane until the end of the month. It's going to be a long month, I can tell.

You know what the latest craze is around here? Words with Friends. It's an Iphone App that basically combines Scrabble with social interactions with your friends. So you play Scrabble games with friends that you can find using their username, and then take turns playing words until one player wins. It's quite addicting actually. There's a free version of it which is pretty good, so you don't have to pay for a full version.

I'm really excited for next Wednesday though, because my religion class starts service then! I can't wait to go to my service site, Harrington House. It's a place for homeless women with children, and we get to help watch the kids and clean up around the house. I'm super excited! Then again, that's almost when the Huck Finn paper is due, which I actually haven't started writing... I'm going to try and do most of it this weekend. Speaking of homework, I'm technically supposed to be doing chem review right now so... yeah. I should get back to that.

And alas! The Photoshop Picture of the week is back! This is a super cool picture I took of a friend looking over into the desert on our way to the Dead Sea during our trip to Israel. I really only added some more blur to the background and sharpened up the image reflected in the glasses. Enjoy!




Later -

Nathalia

uhhhh

Uhhh.
I have so much to do. I hate jet lag. I love Israel. I hate jet lag. I hate homework. I like lacrosse. I hate conditioning. I like having a good practice. I hate having a bad one. I hate that I have to go and do homework now. I hate French. I hate Math. I like the fact that I am semi-excited for IB. I hate certain people who bother me. I like ice cream.

I have to go. See you in school, unless you are sick.

I hate ortho appointments. I hate missing sports for ortho appointments. :[

I like jokes:

So a squirrel walks up to a tree and says I have not stored any eggs in you for winter, so now I am dead. Hahaha it's funny because the squirrel dies.
That ^^^ up there ^^^ is how my cousin Chris tells the joke. Yay for him. I love eight year olds.

Over and Out.
Cheers,
Ellen :)

mafia continued

So...I'm not completely in the mood for a full length post today, so you'll have to fill in the blanks for yourself.

The detective was terminated and so does not have a new suspect...sorry townspeople

The Killer has targeted kylie, but luckily for her, the angel has decided to save her.

also, the angel now knows who the killer is...and so does one of the townspeople, but since i have revoked the court system because no one cared enough to comment....ya'll are pretty much doomed because even if you all know who the killer is, no one is capable of convicting them....

haha, suckers.  I feel like God with an ant farm. with a pet anteater.

awww, how cute it heee?    probably not much to you guys...it's killing you.

 BTWS, my mafia, i have a nikname for you.... :D

--TTFN.

Woah...

So.. break officially makes me lose track of time and I completely forgot to post.....too bad the only other person who blogs on here and is not in Israel is the post nazi....I feel compelled to post even though no one will really be here to read it.

So, anyways.  On with the Story.

There's been a murder in town and Nathalia has died. It was epic, and you should all be terrified out of your minds because she took down our neighborhood black belt.....run for your lives darlings. (Note to our murderer....PAAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA that would never happen in real life, no offense)

Anyways, it should come as a terrible surprise that Nathalia was our detective and since she has now passed, she will no longer be there to help you, unless the angel becomes a mind reader and saves everyone who is attacked.   sorry.  moving on -> before she died, she suspected Ellen as the Killer, so now that is open to debate or voting or whatever.  I'm not sure it will really work though because no ones here.

Also, our angel saved Catherine....probably some mistaken idea of hers that Kylie and I were actually going to let her hurt herself while we forced her to walk in heels.... :3

Status Update
- Detective - Nathalia (Killed (Or would you prefer "Terminated" :D ))
- Angel - (Unknown)
- Killer - (Unknown)
