Post: #19
Yes, i realize this is post is long overdue, i just haven't really been in the posting mood, i more or less have been in the "do nothing all day" mood. I'm in that mood a lot...
So, this is the quick version of how the dance went:
My mother dropped me off at the school and me and my friends (my friends and I) had this impromptu photo session.
My friends were a little grumpy at me because i was little late (45 minutes late... i had to do my nails!)
We ooohed and aaahed at each others dresses as we walked up into the school
We got into line to pay to get in as we scoped out the hallway/entrance for people we know
I saw some 8th grader wearing a dress that i was thinking about trying on, i'm glad i didn't (and i'm sure she got a size too small, because it looked just a little bit too short...)
i payed, signed in, and a dash written on my right hand with blue sharpie (if you look close, i can still see the tiniest bit of it still on my hand)
we went over to these coat hanger stands thingys and took off our jackets and my friends took off their shoes! I know right! i told them that that was disgusting, but they said that their feet would hurt, so whatever.... I kept my shoes on!
Now, i'm pretty sure that Jenna Marbles, a video maker i think is hilarious, made a video about "White Girls In A Club" and she talked about how they took their shoes off and then screamed about the fact that people were stepping on their toes... spot on, Jenna Marbles, spot on.
Okay, i just watched the video and really didn't say about people stepping on their toes, (i gave the link so you can watch it yourself, around 4:50 is when she talks about shoes.)
She did talk about mini-marrying your shoes. Which is what i did. I seriously thought of this video and in my head, mini married my shoes. So later, after the dance at my friends house, everyone was talking about how dirty their feet where, and i was sitting there with a smug expression on my face.
Okay, got a little off track.
So their shoes were off on the floor, my phone was down my bra, my shoes were on my feet, and we were ready to dance. Sorta...
We went in and no one was dancing, so i went onto the middle of the floor and got the party started, yo! That's a lie.
Eventually people started dancing.
Then, you know what else happened? They started to freakin take the decorations down!
At first, it was just the balloons that fell down. They were bopping them around and hitting everyone in the face with them, eventually that died down and was just a faint annoying buzz in the background.
You know... i don't feel like finishing this post, so i'm going to post this so you have something to read.
Okay, sorry, i just have a headache. (An.JKIM, you know what i mean by headache, right =) )
I'll edit this later and take this part out and pick it up where i left off.
Later for now.

I Can't Think Of A Title... So This Is The Title
Post: #18
Let me just start off by saying that i'm listening to Nine In The Afternoon. (No nightmare this time though)
I've been waiting and waiting for today because today we don't have school and we don't have school on Monday either! (yay!) So a 4 day weekend? It's about freaking time. We have off because we have these random designated days that are for school make-ups for when we miss school because of snow days. (first those days are gone, then they take off for Easter vacay, then summer vacay) but if we don't miss school then we get the days off. Yay but then it's like eleven in the morning on a Friday and the only thing on is Mickey Mouse's Clubhouse. I'm was listening to a show about donuts actually...
So right now i'm watching the telephone music video on my iPod. (What's up with Beyonce's yellow cowboy hat?) Did you know that the original video is 9 minutes long? The first 2:40-something minutes is just Gaga going to prison and being stripped and being flirted with and watching chick fights and then the phone rings and the music starts. It's like: couldn't you do that in under a minute? Then there's all the talking scenes which are important to the story and i don't mind. My favorite part is when Gaga is dancing around the kitchen making a poisoned sandwich... then the honey is the thing that kills the guy. I especially like how the little sidebar pops up and it says: let's make a sandwich! and it's on Poison TV. Then the ingredients are like: 1tsp of rat poison. Then at the bottom it says: shake, stir, and good luck! If only my TV got that channel!
In other news, I found a dress. It's dark pink with this black lace-almost corset and it matches the lace on these gloves that were the focal point of finding a dress. In other words, i wanted a dress to match the gloves. I got the gloves for my Lady Gaga outfit when i dressed up as her for Christmas... umm... i mean Halloween. Sorry, my brain isn't working today.
Okay, i really want to talk about something right now: Life's Little Surprises. No, not getting pregnant at 16 or whatever, but something a little deeper than that.
Have you ever eaten something... and it tasted like bacon... but it wasn't bacon? It's like, after eating the bacon-flavored whatever you sit there for a moment and you wonder what wonderful thing you did that God decided to gift you with the taste of bacon! This happened to me yesterday while i was eating a salad at lunch. A SALAD! A vegetarian meal! That tasted like mother-freaking bacon, dude, mother-freaking BACON!
Granted, it was a chef's salad. And for those who aren't salad-savvy, a chef's salad is a salad with meat on it... which kind of defeats the purpose if you ask me. My salad included ham and turkey... and, yes, the prepare-ers of the salad were smart enough to think we deserved a treat and added some bacon in there... But! there were only two pieces of cold slimy bacon in there, which i preceded to eat after opening the box and adding my dressing. And at the end of the salad i picked a nice big leaf of lettuce up with my fork and ate it. BACON!!! It was a beautiful moment...
You see: Life's Little Surprises can be good.
You want to know something else that surprises me? Hard difficult the English language actually is! I'm going to focus on one word here, but first i want to give some proof of the strange and hard-ness of this language:
The spelling of fish.
You can spell fish G-H-O-T-I
Whaaaaaaat? How does that make sense?
Well:
gh, pronounced /f/ as in tough
o, pronounced /ɪ/ as in women
ti, pronounced /sh/ as in nation
Fricking see? The english language is confusing!
And it also contridicts itself:
G-H-O-T-I can also be silent
gh, as in though
o, as in people
t, as in ballet
i, as in business
See? WTHeck is wrong with English?
Also, the word i was talking about before, the word: bass
Okay, stop, how did you pronounce that word? Base, or bass? Like the music or like the ghoti? I guess reading that word can say something about you by how you say it too.
Anyways
What genius said that one word should have to pronunciations then those words should mean two completely different things? See how stupid English is? I feel bad for people in other countries who want to come here and enjoy our American hot-dogs and baseball.
(i also want to touch on that: i hate hot-dogs and baseball, does that make me foreign?!)
When i pronounce bass i have to wonder for moment if i said the right kind, even if i did pronounce it right.
Weird.
I wonder what a class of Spanish speaking people learning English would be like. That's what i wonder all through Spanish class. What words would they have trouble with? What words would they find funny? What words would they learn first because they're easy? You know? These are things i wonder all the time. These un-important stupid things.
Hey, random time! Okay, have you heard of a goatee? It's this little mini beard guys get on their chin. Now, wanna hear something funny? In my experience, no matter who you ask, they will touch their chin while explaining this to you. Seriously. If you ask someone what a goatee is, they're start touching their chin and saying that it's a triangle of hair guys get on their chin. Okay, the explanation part isn't set in stone, that will vary from person to person, but i'm serious about the chin part. Then, when they touch their chin, chances are you'll start laughing because i'm right about something so ridiculous. Then, they'll be confused, but don't explain why you're laughing, and then they'll be all like: What? It's a triangle of hair right here. and then they'll touch their chin again. Then you can explain... or not... you don't have to if you don't want to. Leave them a mystery. Then do it to someone else.
Okay that's all i have to say really, so this is Unicorn Slayer ending by finishing with: goodbye.
