Weird...??

I have addictions to the strangest things. Take gum for example. Whenever I'm bored, I'll get a piece of gum. Whenever I'm hungry, I'll get a piece of gum. Is that strange? To be addicted to the minty fresh chewiness of gum? Well at least I'm not pigging out on other things, right?

Top 5 Weird Addictions:
1. Gum
2. Music
3. Quesadillas
4. Mini Kit Kat Bars
5. The smell of Sun Ripened Raspberry Body Spray from Bath and Body Works

Strange, no?

ZOMFG 4COL!!

I'd have to say, one of the most annoying things in the world is text lingo. Whatever SOB thought of this BS is OOHM. Honestly guys, WTF?! Do you really need to abbreviate "I love you" at least 3 different ways? If you really meant it you would say it, not just say "CM! ILY!" or "BBFN! 143!" Really, who's going to understand that? And some of the things people abbreviate, would they really say? Take a look at this website: http://www.netlingo.com/acronyms.php . How many of these do we acually use? I guess you could abbreviate some to spare others the lameness...SNERT (Snotty Nosed Egotistical Rotten Teenager) Would you HONESTLY say that? Think of it this way: if you can't CUWTA, then you must be normal. And for the other norms out there, P2U4URAQTP!!! *note: If you did not understand the weird abbreviations in this post, go to the website. It has the translations. :)

The Wonderful World of Freshman English...

English class amazes me. You walk in and go to the general area of your seat. The bell rings and The Stick, a.k.a. my teacher, gets up from the large desk, and grabs her possibly 12th cup of coffee that morning. The morning announcements turn on, starting with the Pledge of Allegiance that is so fast not even a 5 year old that ate an entire bag of sugar could follow along. Then the announcer goes on and on about the things happening lately...blahblah girls waterpolo and boys basketball...blahblah quote of the week...blahblah and then it will be silent. The Stick tells us to get out our books for 20 minutes of silent reading, which as the students take it, are 20 minutes to hold a book in front of you and pretend to read while you silently text your friends about that guy or girl you met yesterday, or finish homework from another class because you were too lazy to do it. All the while, The Stick is smiling while she reads some book. I would't be suprised if it were upside down. So when that session is over, we all do our work. Now if it's a Friday, we're lucky enought to have a vocab quiz on words such as obstreporous and unmitigated. We do that painfully long fill in the blank, spelling, defining, and questioning test. Please note that the people next to me will pass a list of the definitions amongst themselves so that they won't fail because they didn't study. This goes on for a whole period while The Stick grades or does something on the computer and the T.A. runs her errands. (I feel so bad for him) Then the bell will finally ring and before you can say "I like kabobs", I'm out of there.

15 Things In My Room

Alright Eilidh. I'll try this.
* 2 Collectors Dolls
* 3 half full (optimist!!) water bottles, probably from yesterday and 2 to 3 days ago
* A "25th Anniversary Volleyball Festival" Participant necklace from last year
* Spanish Notecards, which remind me of the prison I was switched to this semester. sigh.
* A box of TNT Pop-Its (very fun! but I forgot to explode them on New Years because I was having too much fun watching VH1)
* Volleyball kneepads and shoes. They probably need to be washed.
* A mountain of dirty clothes. Sadly I have no hamper.
* A newspaper article of our school's football team winning CIF. (go cougars!!)
* A sock monkey in a basket of books.
* A jewelry hanger with a body. Wearing a pink dress.
* A book. "Size 12 is Not Fat" (very good mystery by Meg Cabot)
*A purse charm.
* A box of floppy disks. I wasted my money on those because my english teacher said we had to have them and we never did.
* A gold and cream colored makeup bag.
* The remote to my stereo. A button is missing.

This probably says that I'm a disorganized girly girl. True about the disorganized part. I'm girly sometimes. Other times I'm normal I guess. Like right now, I'm wearing black wash skinny jeans, a purple tank top, and a white t-shirt with a VW bus on it. That's not exactly girly if you know what I mean. So yeah. I must get to school. Darn.
