Well. It's Saturday. Sat-ur-day.
(And Sunday comes afterwards lawl)
If we're on the subject of pet peeves, mine is when I'm having a perfectly good day ad then someone or something happens and it's ruined. Like yesterday. I was having a great day with Megan, my best friend came over, and then my mom decided it would be a great time to give me another talk about applying myself and dedication. Absolute bull shit.
I've come to wonder if maybe the people who piss us off most in the world are actually right and I'm the one who needs to rethink situation. Maybe sometimes people are just so biased that they will never ever see the world from another's point of view.
This AP exam is stressing me out. It's in three weeks. I'm screwed. I had a panic attack slash mental breakdown about it today (not helped by my ever so enthusiastic mother). Sometimes I feel like this kinds of things shouldn't be mentioned on the internet. Who reads this anyways?
Whatever. I will survive. I will study and PASS THIS TEST. My goal is to get at least a 4. I think that's doable.
I want my grade on my research paper...
I want more songs to play on the guitar...
Katie's weekly challenge ---> eat your vegetables.
Song of the Week ---> My Body by Young the Giant
Katie ---> out. MWAH.
This blog is about the lives of 6 ordinary "FRidgers", all of whom are different in their own ways. Each person writes once a week, telling the world about the random thoughts that enter their heads.

Crickets...
Hey everyone sorry for posting so late. Posting from my phone right now so this will be short.
Hope everyone enjoyed their week off. I know I accomplished a lot. Just thinking ahead ... We have less than a month until the AP exam. Ahhh!!! Mini freak out. Ok, I'm an awful person for bringing that up... Nevermind.
There are some really annoying crickets chirping outside my window, making it hard to fall asleep. Grr. Shut up crickets. Play your music somewhere else. I wish a chameleon would eat you. Bwahahaa! That makes me think of pascal from the movie Tangled. I love that movie!!! Just bought the soundtrack to it today :)

Ugh! Now there is a frog outside making its loud ribbit noises! Grr. Maybe it ate the crickets... Hehe.
Well toodles- I'm off to bed now!

C eh N eh D eh
ahahah that's where I am today.
Right now I am in Canada. I really like Canada. And most Canadians. Cough.
I went skiing the past two days and today. Snow = amazing. Powder = amazinger.
I love skiing. Kylie, we need to go together some time, yah?
I am very uninspired today. Sorry. But we are trying to get the entire month of April with everyone posting kay? Unless you have a really good reason for not doing it. Like dying. Or really late sports games. Or breaking all your fingers. You get the point.
Okay... anyway...
Pet Peeves? umm
1. When people ask you something they can find themselves. I do it all the time (which makes it more annoying... sorry if I ever do it to you). It's like, I'm busy too, look at the stupid schedule.
2. Hypocrites (which I unfortunately am)
3. When people try to be something they're not
4. MARKERS MUST BE IN RAINBOW ORDER GAA!
Joke (sorry, as I said I'm uninspired):
YER FACE.
(I said this to Kelly the other day and my mom was near by, and she was like "whaat?"... she doesn't understand the beauty of "yer face" jokes :( )
Ahaha on the subject of my title for this post. I'm guessing you all already know this joke, but it always makes me laugh anyway. If you don't, comment and I'll tell you later. Eh?
Over and Out.
Cheers,
Ellen :)

Pet Peeves
Ok i know I already did this post a while back, but i have two new ones to add to my list:
1) When i cannot see the food I am eating (like it's too dark in the room)
2) the game rook.
Catherine and I just spend an hour trying to learn this game. the directions were super confusing and it didn't make sense at all. Here's part of the directions:
Bidding: players bid for the privilege of choosing a trump card. there is a great advantage of being the player who chooses the trump color. since a trump card can capture any other card of any other color. your opening bid must be at least 70 points. bids must be divisible by 5 such as 70, 75, 80. you are bidding the number of points from counters you think you and your partner will be able to capture with your hands provided you are able to name the color that will be trump. if you captured all counters you would score 120 points. You should remember there is always a risk when you take that bid!
OK so what?
Like seriously. what.
And this is how the direction START!
like what is a trump? or a counter? or a bid? what?
and then after trying to figure that out for like 30 minutes Catherine foun this thing on the freaking BACK of the directions that's like:
'Card playing terms for new players"
WELL. YOU COULD HAVE SAID THAT EARLIER.
------------------------
It still didn't help.
so we, being the determined people we are, went to our best recourse. Youtube. and found this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OmDKWsibLc
20 points if you can tel;l me what he is even saying at the beginning of this video.
------------------------
Catherine says: 'That's so dumb. I hate this game. It ruined my whole day. I'm gunna cry. I'm going to bury it. in a hole.'
------------------------
Yeah so cool.
anyways.
Dress:
Okay I seriously think I am going through glee with drawl. they need, like, pills for this. My inner mantra right now is "seven days. seven days. seven days..." I am going to kill somebody if there is no Klaine in the next episode. no joke. >:|
------------------------
What else is new?
------------------------
Oh i got 30$ to itunes for my birthday. Even though I just spent, like, a mole of dollars on Glee songs. (ahh chemistry is getting to me.)
------------------------
Speaking of Chemistry. Do you guys think its ok if i get a piece of cardboard, and put a sign near the from that says 'invisi-mole'? or will she not accept that?
I think she should. she can't prove it isn't there. heh.
------------------------
So this weekend Katie and i house-sitted 18 alpacas. they were adorable. except this brown one with buck teeth that looked like it was judging me the entire time. Then Blainey sent me a text that said "Courage...against the Alpacas".
------------------------
I LOVE YOU BLAINEEEEEEEEEE <3
------------------------
What else?
------------------------
Oh I have an addiction. to Tea's Tea. just saying.
------------------------
Man, my life is pretty boring at the present.
I'm at the Island right now. Be jealous. And I'm turning 16 Thursday :) so that's fun.
------------------------
Listening to Glee right now. Raise Your Glass to be exact. love. love. love.
Cailyn, I think we are too obsessed.
We should go to, like a support group or something.
------------------------
Hello my name is Kylie Kurt Aberle, and I am a glee addict.
------------------------
Pretzel mms are yummy.
------------------------
Ok I gtg, see you guys Saturday/Monday!
Lots of love,

Apppril. yay....
Well, I don't know if any of you (other than Porcelain...most likely) know this, but it's apparently blog every day April or something, so, to reference one of kylie's posts we should all post every week of April. (it shouldn't be that hard, its only 4 in a row) So, to start --
__________________________________________________________
(Okay, sorry porcelain, but you said i should do the "fate" one first, it might be a little more depressing than you thought....but then again, maybe not, I haven't written it yet ^.^)
Okay so fate -- or what could have happened
To be truthful, I've been thinking a lot about what i would be like if I went to Tyee instead of FR. For example, would Sherman have had cause to be surprised by my "little girl voice" or would that have faded over time?
Would I have the same opinions as i do now? Would the things I hate be something I can't live without? Would I have the same problems? Would I have the same pressures? Would I understand other people better or worse?
These are the types of things I've been wondering about recently just because I've been wondering if I actually should have ended up at Forest Ridge. Sometimes, I've even wondered so much as to think that i may have been happier if it turned out some other way. Maybe I'm insane, dwelling on the past isn't healthy, but i've always kind of sort of believed in fate, but now, I'm not so sure.
This is probably brought on by the whole IB ordeal. It started with "how prepared will i really be if im not interested in math or science", and it's grown into this giant thing that im constantly thinking about. For example, My mother is always talking about how my brother only knows what he wants to do because newport had a BUNCH of electives he could take, and 1) we've basically been cheated out of all our electives, and 2) we don't have that many that aren't directly related to learning something. I'll never have that chance. i've signed the contract that binds me to Junior Year at FR and, since we're going through IB, I've basically said that I will be coming back senior year as well. If I had gone to Newport, or even International, would I know what I want to be when they grew up?
Is there something I have a passion for, but I've never even heard of it?
But seriously, what would be different? About my life? about what I wanted? About who i am?
Comments?

It's break... yeah...
What am I doing?
Listening to Good Charlotte
Cleaning my room (like, intense)
Fighting with my sister, who told me that things will be clean if it kills her. Um...
Avoiding my dad, who pretended to sneeze on me because of took a bite out of something that was my sister's
Kind of not really avoiding my mom
I really want it to be softball practice. I need structure. I kind of don't like breaks. But I like not having homework. But I need something to do!
I really want to be on an island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean with Palm Trees and sunshine.
And not in Seattle.
I wish I was in ceramics class.
Do I honestly look younger than everyone else in the grade? People need to stop making fun of the fact that I look thirteen because it's not funny.
Katie's Weekly Challenge ---> clean out all of your old junk
Song of the Week ---> The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars
Katie --- out. MWAH.

SPRING BREAK!!!
It's Spring Break everyone!
Huzzah! We've made it through this week seemingly unscathed. Through the late nights, tests, quizzes, papers, we have survived. And now it's time to celebrate!
Currently in the lounge again, listening to a very interesting conversation between Bailey and Rasika about numbers. Makes you think...
Anyways. What are you guys all doing during Sprink Break? Going anywhere exciting (if you haven't left already)? Tell about your exciting adventures! It can make up for the lack of ours, for the people who are staying home during vacation. Ah well, we'll have fun anyways.
But what's up with this weather?! I seriously hope that it brightens up. I know, I know, April showers bring May flowers, but can we just have a little sun now and again? Rain rain go away...
Nothing too serious to post about in light of our vaction time. Just relax and have a good break!
Also, the Photoshop Picture of the week! It's a really awesome pattern on a door on the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. I really boosted the copper colors in the picture and did a ton of sharpening to get the edges of the metal to reflect in the edited version. I've decided that from now on I'm going to try and post the before and after versions of a picture that I've edited so you can really see and appreciate the difference and the hard work I put into the final results of my pictures :)


Enjoy your Sprink Break!

One More Day Til' BREAK!
I'm in fitness class right now. We just got assigned the paper/workout chart...yuck. Oh well. I don't really want to write a paper, but the chart sounds pretty fun. Don't know how I'll do it yet...but it'll be nice to have a workout during the day.
Anyways....
Cailyn has a question. When's break?
Not spring break. BUT foooood break. We just moved from the fitness room to the commons/fitness to work on the workout charts. And we wanna eat.
BUT.
WE HAVE ONE MORE DAY TIL' BREAK! I'm soooooooo excited.
We finally get a full week to REST. thank god.
HEY. WE JUST GOT MS.CANTU CUPCAKES. yummmmmmyyyyyyyyyyy
Cailyn's yelling at me. she said i didn't post. OF COURSE NOT. i'm still writing this dang thing.
Okay...we're listening to GLEE right now and I think we've replayed a song like four times. cool.

It's Wednesday!
Congratulations! You made it half way through the week! Only a few days left to go before Spring Break? Do you have any fun plans? I'm going to Canada and going skiing (:D) and then later playing lax with Kel and Lindsay hopefully. We have a game the day we get back from break... urrg sounds fun :P
Anyway I need to finish my history essay (just a few minor and final corrections then I'm done - yayyy!) My essay's on the Space Race. I read a joke in one of the books about the race, and it made me laugh but I don't know that the rest of you will. It was in the time period where the Soviet Union was way ahead the US, even though the US was trying to catch up and land a man on the moon.
Q: What will American's find on the moon?
A: The Russians!
So it was apparently a popular joke at the time. I actually laughed... anyyyywayyyy
How's spring going for you guys? I love spring sports! Lax is the best! I'm having a blast!
Oh and let's just clarify something with the Softball vs. Lax conflict -
1. I love softballer's and I love it when you win
2. I make fun of you guys but not because I actually hate you, and not because I'm jealous - just for fun :)
3. It really bothers me when people say "how can you hate a sport that wins?" because a) I don't hate you, and b) we win too okay?
4. I don't really have a problem with you guys, and I know that most of you guys don't really have a problem with us - just a few people bothered me recently. This post probably doesn't apply to you, but you know... whatever.
I really don't care when we make fun of each other, I just can't stand it when people get way to serious about it. I don't mind the banter or whatever... but leave it at that.
(PS - skirts are stupid, but that doesn't make lax an easy sport - just because there are lots of calls doesn't mean its not aggressive. Just thought I should clear that up)
Okay love you all, have an awesome break! I probably won't be able to post next Wednesday, so ciao for now
Over and Out.
Cheers,
Ellen :)

Heyy
So, i find that I've run out of things to talk about, and as some of my friends have pointed out, I really don't post unless I have something on my mind and it turns into a "Deep" post....
Well, Don't really have anything like that on my mind....

That should be a good thing, Why do I feel so bored?
anyways.
I feel like the song 'Raise Your Glass' by P!nk Speaks to me
Go look up the lyrics, like honestly, this is my attitude....minus the alcohol.
I don't know. Agree Dissagree?
theme for the week (if you would like) - what song to you love that matches what you think of your personality?
btws, you should all join the Ridge Radio Show, It's super fun....
Imma go now...byeee

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!

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.

^^^ 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 :)

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?

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!
