X-Mas

Back from my trip. Pretty exciting. Yeah, I don't really have much to say, so.......

Hi.

Ohehmgee! No water?!?!

Ok, so I have no water now! Our water heater is broken, so if we DID, it'd be freezing! But now our basement is flooded and I just want to go to the Greenbrier! (btw, <3 you, Lindz!)

Can't I get a break????? And also, I can type 63 wpm. My friend types 50, and her brother types 96. Also, my high score on Winterbells (click here) is 692,690. Can you beat me??

Also, the new inside jokes are:

Get some dim sum in a Chinese box!

Go kick that old lady! Oh, snap! The police!!! (You can't kick people in your own home!)

Uhhh...... HANNAH MONTANA!!!!! ("Dance like you usually do, Eoin!" "This song isn't intense enough!")

Mommy, can I have a donut????

I'm hyper!

Kendall: *huff puff* Can I have the Vespa on the way back? Me: Fiiiiine. What happened to your mad cross country skillz? Kendall: Argh! *chases me*

YEAH TOAST!!!

Ok. So that's about it for inside jokes. In other news:

Check out my stuff on Polyvore. Search "shmileitsmads" and that'll be me! Also, check out me and my cousin's YouTube videos! If you don't know our account, IM or e-mail me.

Purple Dinos!!!

Mattie-la~!

HATERS

Ok, so you all know that there are people out there called...
HATERS
Well, why do we care? Haters are people too. Just less nice versions of the average person. I guess it does bug me when haters go crazy and are like, "This is terrible! Get a life!" And I can't help but notice that no matter how much you say you don't care, you actually LISTEN to them.
Why?
Because angry criticism is powerful. They make us feel bad to get results.
So, please...

Don't hate. Appreciate.

Eek! Pre-Musical Hype

Our musical results come out today. Who will I be? There are 5 female leads (if you count Leading Players 1 & 2) and about 30 girls who tried out. Intimidating, huh? Yeah. I thought so.

Pippin!

"I'm not a river or a giant bird..."

I'll be back later with the results.

Minimum wage increase!

Minimum wage is $6.55 now. I'm happy. I think that if I get a job, I'll get one at Cold Stone Creamery because you get one free ice cream every shift, plus you can sing while you work! Awesome, man, awesome. Just the thing I need, since I owe my parents money and I don't think Kookie Corral will cover it all since I split the profits with my cousin... so far I've made $5.25 and I hope to make a LOT more. We're even doing a thing that if you translate a phrase in Spanish, you get a free meal after buying two items. What can I say? Marketer at heart! Get the neon sign that screams, "I'M AN ASPIRING BUSINESSWOMAN!!"

Mattie

P.S. The sign has to be blue, brown, green, and white!

MaineMaineMaineMaineMaine

Hey! As you could probably tell from the title, I'm in Maine! Of course, we know ONE person who decided she REALLY wanted to come see me... (*cough-HER-cough*) but she decided to wait until I get home. (She's visiting her baby cousin *COUGH-excuse-to-hang-out-with-me-COUGH*)

Haha. Sure, sure.

Anyway, be sure to get all your stuff for back-to-school! PROCRASTINATORS!!!!! I for one am a procrastinator. And a hypocrite. Sometimes. Okay, maybe not. (See??) ;P

So. I got this REALLY cute jacket from J. Crew. It's business-chic! It looks really tailored and has pinstripes, but you gotta dress for success!

Watch Lucky Star! Motteike saigo ni waracchau no wa atashi no hazu!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL (lots of love)

Movies and Stuffs (haha, JAPANESE stuffs)

No Reservations? Bought it. Mean Girls? iTunes is downloading it for rental. 5 hours? Sheesh. But I digress. Well, scratch that, I don't. Do any of you VIP's *cough* (You're VIP's because you were invited first, not for that other reason *cough*) have movie suggestions? I don't want to BUY 27 Dresses. First of all, it's 14.99, 5 dollars more than most buyable movies. Second, it's one of those movies you don't want to watch five time, you know?
Ooh, yay, only four hours left!!!!!1 Sorry. I might randomly tell you how much longer it is until I finish downloading. 50 MB of 1.06 GB? Man, movies sure take up a lot of space... but I guess I shouldn't worry, 'cuz my music didn't even take up 1 Gig on my last iPod (which has been recycled by the Apple Store....). Goodbye, engraved iPod..... hello, not-engraved iPod VIDEOOOOOOO!!1 But I still kinda miss my old one... a lot. I have trouble getting rid of old friends... you all know who I mean... *COUGH* VICKY/NANDINE *COUGH*
I'm waiting for the right time, but I just don't know when that will be. So on to my life as an insane vampire/zombie/clown.
I hope you all care that... aw, I forget!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Maybe if I remember, I'll come back and edit. Maybe.

Since I've made a reference to Caribbean Catastrophe...

Oh my gosh! iPod Classic!

I GOT A NEW IPOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's so awesome! Yay-and-a-half!! On another note.... Any good movies for me to buy? I'm gonna be here for five more hours (and yes, it'll be 3 AM when No Reservations stops downloading. GAH!). But anyway. That's cool, that's cool. So. I don't really know what to say. Other than... PARAMORE RULES!!!!!!!!!!1
LASSI WUZ HERE!!!!!!!!!1

Slaughter it, man. Slaughter it.

So on another note.....

OH MY GOSH IT'S ONLY TWO DAYS UNTIL THE TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to pack by myself, though. I don't get any help. Bleh. So I took the liberty of making my own packing list. Yay!! It's got all the essentials, including six categories.

1) Clothes

2) Pajamas

3) Layers

4) Other

5) Toiletries

6) Carry-on (Yes, I'm air-travel-oriented like that)

Did YOU make a packing list without help from your mom/dad? I DIDN'T THINK SO!!

Take it to the slaughterhouse!

Poor Downtrodden Student

Okay, you know what's making me super mad right now? Sales tax!!!! THE STUPID SALES TAX PEOPLE RAISED THE FREAKING SALES TAX TO 7%!!! GAHHHHHHH!!! That's depressing. Now every-freaking-thing you buy costs 1% more. Saddening. But on the bright side, I think minimum wage is something like $5.50 now. Woot. Too bad I don't have a job...
So here's the dealio. (Is that even a word?) I spent $25 on Vera Bradley stuff. So I don't think I'll have enough time to get the Classic for St. Louis. But maybe I can get it for Jap'n! I certainly hope so.
Another thought. Do you think I should get custom Converse? I made a pair. They look really cool. But I don't know if I want them just yet. I can wait a summer.

HAPPY HYPER DAY!!
Mattie

STL Places...

Y'all, I cannot BELIEVE that the class trip is coming up so sooooooooooon!!!!!! And that's about, let's see... *wastes time to check calender* about three weeks! Woot.
I wonder who's rooming with who? And bus seating!!!! My advisor, (y'all should know who it is!!) Mrs. H (yes, I'm so paranoid that I will NOT put last names on here!!!) said it's all random. Sorta. Ms. B (Linda's advisor...) said so, too. Meh. Oh, well.
So why am I so PRESSED FOR TIME?!?!?!?!?! *starts to scream and hyperventilate* GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! *regains composure*
Well, I really want an iPod Nano Video. Yes, the Apple store is calling them iPod Nanos, but I have the very original Nano in WHITE!!! So boring! And it has lots of cosmetic scratches. Not from cosmetics, you dummies who are like, "She wears makeup?" In short, scratches that make the thing look less attractive, but the machine still works. So I want one. To watch Rat Race (FUNNIEST movie EVER!!). And the Misery Business (GO PARAMORE!!!) music video. And you know what? The iPod Classic costs as much as a Wii!!! Snap!!! I don't have that much! All because I'm saving up $100 for Jap'n. I have $101 dollars extra. And in the five weeks after St. Louis, that's $60. So minus $40 on the price. And... yeah. Man, I should work at a bank! You know, banking is in my family. Banking rocks, but I'm not choosing it for a career! So anyway. See y'all on Monday... where orchestra (WOOT GO VIOLINS!!) will play Largo with the band. And we have no gym. And stuff.
Byeas!!

KFC

So I was at this one KFC in Kentucky and I guess they only call it FC because it's already in Kentucky so I ordered chicken and said, "Can I get relish with that?" and the guy at the register said, "Sorry, lady, we don't give relish with the chicken. But we can give you some ketchup!" and I said, "I don't want ketchup, I want RELISH!" and the guy said, "Lady, we don't give relish with the chicken! But we can give you some mustard!" and I said, "I don't want mustard, I want relish!" and the guy said, "Well, if you really want relish you can order a hamburger and get the relish on the side." and I said,
"If I wanted a hamburger, I would have ordered it!"

Than you, thank you very much.
