All right, as you can see, I have NOTHING to blog about today. I'm sure I do, but I can't remember what. I can be very boring. So, guess what? I'm talking about clothes.
I got paid last week, and I saved some money to help Mama Bear, who was going to get me contacts. I thought they were $50, like we did last time with insurance, but guess what? WRONG. So, she says, "Don't worry about it. I'll be fine." I had already given her some money, and just let her run with it. (She's paying for a lot of stuff for me right now: car insurance, contacts, supports for my feet, etc...) Anyway, now, I have $20 bucks, give or take. I bought: 2 shirts and 1 pair of converse shoes. I LOVE converse shoes, because you can draw on them! except, I hate the high-tops or whatever, the ones that go past your ankles? Those are STUPID. (Personally)
So I just got the ones that go a little below the ankle. They're cute, really. But they're for school. Yes, I'm school shopping. I am like, so totally ready for next year. I think I'll go buy ONE more pair of flair jeans (my fave), and then, I'm like, seriously, ready. But we'll just look throughout the season. And the best part is, like, everything is on sale. Those shoes? 10 dollas. Yeah, they were on sale from 14. SWEET! Those two shirts? 7 bucks each, originally TWICE that price. I also had two MORE shirts that I got at wal-mart--a snoopy shirt and a 'supergirl' shirt--for 3 BUCKS!!! Off the clearance rack, and IN MY SIZE!!!
But I want two more pairs of converse shoes (I know, a girl can NEVER have enough shoes): a black pair and then maybe a pink or blue pair (if they have purple, I'LL TAKE IT!!!!) But we'll have to see.
I now have a choise of what to do with my money. The smart thing would be to save it, especially for school next year. I got lots of stuff to pay for. Or I could buy those converse shoes. Or, I could get a new pair of jeans. There's lots of options... I'm just not sure right now.

We're talking about THAT!!!!
So, as most of you know, I'm in Summer Bio. It's a good class, but keep in mind that this class is open for kids going into the ninth grade to kids going into their senior year. That's immature. RIGHT. THERE.
We're getting like, biological, here, just so ya know.
We are discussing/being taught about the different between meiosis and mitosis. Mitosis is for 'single' cells (so to speak), and meiosis is for cells that it takes TWO to make one. Mitosis is when the cells simply duplicate themselves, and all the cells look the same. Meiosis is where the cells get half of 'mom', and half of 'dad'. Get it? Got it? GOOD.
So one kid is kind of obsessed. "oh. We're talking about THAT!" He said. One of the other teachers came in the room to grab something. Said immature kid saw him and said, "Hey, Mr. E, we're talking about THAT!" We kind of all laughed, and the teacher who was originally teaching this says, "We don't want him to know we're talking about THAT." The kid kind of looks confused for two seconds, turns to "Mr. E", and says, "Just kidding. We are NOT talking about THAT!" Stupid kid. Everyone laughed, anyway.
Now go back and replace all of "THAT" with 's=e=x'. Yeah.
Speaking of which, I have some funny stories of said THAT.
A while ago, the subject somehow arised at lunch time. I'm not exactly sure how it went, and all I remember is we're sitting at lunch, and saying to one friend, "Do you seriously NOT know what the birds and the bees are?" She shakes her head. "Go ask your mom." Someone replies. "Can we NOT talk about this?" another friend, still eating her lunch, asks. It goes quiet for a moment, and then, blonde friend in question says,
"It doesn't have anything to do with tobacco, does it?"
The table BUSTS up laughing so loud. Poor girl. But the good thing is, she's tough. She doesn't really care if people laugh at her or not. She knows now (this was a couple of years ago), but still.
I am a Reba-fanatic. I used to not be, and I started watching her series, and couldn't get enough, seriously. So in one episode, her son-in-law, Van, explains to her 8-year-old son, Jake, what it is. It doesn't tell you or show you what he tells the Jake, but we hear about it from Reba's daughter/Van's wife, Cheyenne. Reba thanks him and everything, and he explains how he told Jake it's called the birds and the bees.
"Except, I don't see how the birds and the bees can do, especially if they're flying when they're doing it. That's probably why you see all the birds flying into the window."
Van's an idiot, seriously. But it's funny. I tried uploading the video, but it won't let me. Just check it out online, and it starts at about 11:43 and goes on for about five minutes.
PS-I'm sorry if you think this is an inappropriate blog. These things happen in my daily life, and I try my best to keep it clean. Seriously

Bio Education
Hi guys. Long time, no read. Well, OK, not THAT long. But still.
So for all MY peeps out there, I have an announcement. I'm hoping next thursday we can have a sleepover at my house. under the stars in my backyard. I hope you don't mind doggies. We'll try and keep 'em off ya!!!
Anyway, come at about 8, and if you can, bring your own food!! candy, breakfast material. we'll play games and stuff. if the weather's not good, we'll sleep inside. So bring your sleeping bag, a pillow, and a game (or two) if you wish. Mindless Banterer, you ARE invited. I know you probably won't sleep over, but you can do a 'late-night' thing or whatever. thursday to friday at my house!!! you should know where that is, but i'll call y'all just to make sure i get EVERYBODY!!!!
So, for Summer Bio, we went to the USU Poisonous Plant op. place or something like that. I actually learned lots. There's a certain plant that is either A) called cyclopamine, or B) contains cyclopamine. what does it do?
If a pregnant ewe (female sheep) eats this stuff on the 14 day of her gestation period (BIG WORDS, SORRY!), that's when the stem cells are figuring out what to do, like what they're going to become: eye balls, feet, ears, that sort of stuff.
So, anyway, this cyclopamine totally MESSES up the baby. most of the time, it actually elongates the time a sheep is pregnant (gestation period) and can even kill the sheep. the baby usually doesn't live. So, here's a pic of a baby that didn't live. FYI, if you're easily grossed out, you probably shouldn't look.
It IS right-side up. that thing on top is the nose. that's how deformed the poor baby sheep gets. it's been decapitated. poor sheepy. anyway, the tongue in the liquid gets bloated, so guess what? it sticks out, and looks like it's stinking its tongue out to you. poor baby sheep.
So I've learned LOTS!!!!!! Sorry if you got grossed out. Oh, PS, these mutations DO happen in humans, although it's like one in every 16,000 or something like that. there are other mutations, like there's no nose, or the eyes aren't quite seperated. it's really sad.

Bio Emotions
So, emotions for me have been a little crazy, even after yesterday's post.
Well, first off, there's Jon and Kate getting divorced. That makes me sad. A family with that many children, and they're getting splitting up? Terrible. Terrible thing to do to those children. AND THEY'RE STILL FILMING!!!! I think they should stop.
I was reading an update, and it said that Kate's agent or whatever said that Kate won't take her wedding ring off, because she's afraid she'll devastate the children. Okay, first of all, do the kids even KNOW what a wedding ring symbolizes? They're only like, 5 or 6 (I think), but even if they're 8, do they really understand? Personally (THESE ARE JUST MY THOUGHTS), I think that maybe, just maybe, Kate isn't ready to call it quits after all. Maybe. But then again, they are discussing finding places to stay while one stays in the house with the kids. I don't know. I also heard a 'rumor' that Jon is looking for a place to stay in New York. That's a little ways away from Pennsylvania.
I know, lots of drama.
Anyway, the next emotion comes from last night, after I got home from going to a 'pack' meeting for Pingu. My mom, who had been with a friend, didn't go. When we got home, she was there. Lots of welcoming.
So I go to show her what I had recorded from the pack meeting (they were racing boats or something like that), and she looks at me, and says, "WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?!" My heart hits my feet (snap) just like that!
"I told you I was going to cut it today". I said. Yes, it's true. I cut my hair (only my bangs, actually), but I wasn't thinking and cut them WAYYYYY too short. It looked really dumb, and I had wasted 15 minutes doing that. Yes, I felt VERY stupid after that.
She continues to berate me, saying things like, "That's what an 8-year-old does!". She refuses to talk to me for the rest of the night, which is fine, 'cause I'm still deciding whether or not I should be sad. These are some of the thoughts running around in my head:
A. It's my hair, right? I should be able to do what I want with it.
B. I never cut my hair when I was 8-years-old. Goes to show I was smarter at that point in time than I am now (about hair, anyway).
C. She IS my mom, and does have a right to say what I can and can't do.
D. Look, it's done. Nothing I can do to change it, so I might as well appreciate it.
So, there's that drama. I love my mother, and she did apologize for making me feel bad last night. I shrug. "It's all right. I told you I was being stupid at the time, and have yet to remember what I was thinking when I cut that much off, anyway."
Next: I have to be at school tomorrow at 6. AM. Not fun. We're going on a huge field trip, and we're not coming back until 3:30. Yay. But my teacher assured us we will have a chance to sleep on the bus. I can't sleep on buses, and most certainly not after I have woken up. I have this odd disease that once I'm awake, I CANNOT go back to sleep, until between 8-10 pm. Sometimes later, sometimes earlier. Once in a great while, I'll take a nap. Like last Saturday. I slept for half an hour, woke up to go get my brother, came back and slept for three hours straight. Man, I was SOOOO tired.
So, now I need to anticipate getting up at 5 in the morning. And I have to bring a jar so we can 'collect' bugs for a bug collection we're doing in my biology class. Yeah, we have to pin 'em, and make sure they're dead before so we don't have bugs moving on the pins. (SHUDDER)

Library Geek in the PINK!!!!!
Sorry it's been so long. It's just been a hectic week. My uncle was in town (as I posted earlier), and he and my dad are the closest of all the sibs in thsir family. His young daughters are fun to be around, however, they can sometimes be kind of bratty. I love 'em anyway!
So, I've been talking about getting a new job. I'm slowly transitioning from my current job, and then when I am DONE with it, I am putting an application for the library. I'm scared, though, cause some of my friends want to try, too. What if I don't make it? :(
But a new thought arose in my BRILLIANT mind. If the library closest to me decided that it won't be hiring ANYONE, then I'll apply to the one over near the Wal-Mart, which (true) is in a another city, but it's fairly close. And, I'm hoping once I have enough money, I can then buy a car, and pay for my own gas, car insurance... YAY!!!! My mom 'poo-poo'-ed the idea, but I thought it was good. At least I know what I want to do with my life.
It'll take a while, seeing as I have next to nil in the bank currently, but hey!
Movie news: Johnny Depp is starring in Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland', which is scheduled to come out March 5, 2010. It also stars some Australian actress (she fits Alice almost perfectly), as well as Helena Bonham-Carter as the Queen of Hearts, and Anne Hatheway as the 'White Queen', or the 'Snow Queen' or whatever that title is. I'm excited!!!! I love what Tim Burton does. Seriously, everything! Except for Willy Wonka, but that was never a favorite movie.
So, guess what? It's Jason Mraz's birthday today! He's one of my fave singers. My favorite album of his would have to be Mr. A-Z. Get it? Take out all the punctuation marks, and it says MRAZ!!! Hee hee... I thought that was quite clever. His newest one is OK, but I like some of the older songs better. That's OK.

Wal-Mart to the rescue!!!!
Well, my dad's brother is in town. He (my uncle) has two daughters, ages 12 and 9 (I think). They are probably the cousins I am closest to, yet they live in Oregon. It's a beautiful place, seriously.
Anyway, we've been spending some time with them, and it's really nice. This Thursday we're going to a waterpark with them, and I'm WAYYY excited. I really love 'em. Plus, I get to miss out on some school. Thursday DOES have its cons, as I will be missing my close friend, Blonde Chica.
But ANYWAY....
About a week and a half ago, I ordered a camcorder/camera/mp3 player from WAL-MART.com (great place, by the way), and was simply ECSTATIC when my dad said that they had e-mailed (we did it through his account), and that it was here. So, at about seven o'clock, we go down to our nearest wal-mart and get it! YAY!!!!! Way excited. It is currently downloading my music files and charging its little battery. Tee-hee....
That's about all the exciting news for now. I have been enjoying my summer vacation, thank you very much, 'cept haven't seen much of my PEEPS!!!! MISS YA LOTS, LADIES!!!!!
I really need to get out more often.

Computer Lock-Down
So today for lunch, I went to an extremely GOOD place. For those of you who haven't been, I strongly recommend Five Guys Burgers and Fries. It was a FANTASTIC place. The fries are awesome! I had (surprise) a burger, and it was pretty good. I was also one for home-cookin', but it wasn't bad. They actually do everything there. They have these huge bags of potatoes just sittin' around in the 'restaurant'. I heard the Big Kahuna explaining to Mr. T something about how they really 'hand-make' the hamburgers, aka they simply grab a blob of ground hamburger, and then flatten it and round it or whatever, until they make a hamburger patty. Then they fry it up and serve it! It's pretty good, actually.
I'm actually pretty excited. My uncle from out-of-town is coming next week, so we're going to see him on Thursday and Friday. Ya know, just... hangin' out. It's gonna be pretty fun. He has two daughters who are younger than I am, but they're actually pretty cool to hang out with. I love 'em!
My parents decided to lock the computer down, so that you have to type in a password in order to get into the computer part of the computer. You know, where the games and the Microsoft Word 'accessories' are. Yeah, and I know the password, but we're only allowoed on the computer from like, 3-7, unless we need it for school or something.
I actually DO have homework, seeing as I'm taking that summer class. Small stuff, but I looked ahead on the schedule, and we have a couple of 'reports' due, which means--INTERNET work. Yay (not really). But if I pass this class, I don't have to take a science class my senior year. YAY!!! Although, knowing what I want to do and all that, I probably will.
Oh well.

Update 101
Howdy, y'all! Long time no READ!!!! Life's been pretty busy, though.
School got out last Friday, but technically, I didn't have to go. See, if you ordered a yearbook, then you could go to the thursday party, which was the yearbook party. that was fun. I went friday, but only for about an hour to get teacher signatures. that was fun.
Then, I started Summer Bio, with one of my closest friends, Sweet Chica. She is not a morning person (but who is?) and falls asleep in class. We have three teachers, and they're all AWESOME!!!! Hoping to make new friends soon, but you know me, I'm just too shy.
So last saturday was the pancakes for parkinson's breakfast, and that was fun. It was a little tiring, but mostly fun. People did come, but not too many, seeing as it was her first year. I actually think we did well for the first year. One lady asked me to take her picture next to the banner that read "Pancakes for Parkinsons: the Michael J. Fox Foundation" (or something like that). She informed me that her dad had Parkinson's.
"I want to show him that I'm trying to support him." I smiled and said, "That's good." I have had a little experience with parkinson's, so I understand her wanting to help her dad. I thought it was really nice.
So this summer Biology only goes from monday to thursday. It's all good. I get to sleep in TOMORROW! But I have to go to work a little later, anyway. Oh, well.
I'm actually a little hesitant about summer bio. See, one of the new teachers there, Mr. E, kind of creeps me out. He seems interested in me... a little TOO interested. I pointed the fact that he kind of creeps me out to Sweet Chica, and she agreed, although we haven't talked much about it. That's cool.
I have to say another thing. I've been thinking lately about what I do--ya know, babysitting and all. I do it every day, and it does actually get a little tiresome. I also learned I have no patience with children. This job is probably a no-no for me. So, I need to pray about it, and think about what I WOULD like to do. One girl in my neighborhood worked for the library, so I've been thinking about doing that. I actually think that's what I'm going to do. But I've got to see what God thinks. I happen to take into consideration his opinions, believe it or not.
I asked the girl in my neighborhood a little bit about what goes on. She says when she started, she began as a 'page', working about $7/hour. Not bad. Then, she moved up to a 'clerk' (I think). FYI: she worked for less than a year there. She's moving a way to college, so she had to quit her job. But to advance about three levels in less than a year is not bad. I think I would enjoy working in the library. I hope God thinks I would be a better librarian than a babysitter.
I will hopefully all let you know what I plan on doing. Until next time.
Hasta Luego (See ya later!)
School got out last Friday, but technically, I didn't have to go. See, if you ordered a yearbook, then you could go to the thursday party, which was the yearbook party. that was fun. I went friday, but only for about an hour to get teacher signatures. that was fun.
Then, I started Summer Bio, with one of my closest friends, Sweet Chica. She is not a morning person (but who is?) and falls asleep in class. We have three teachers, and they're all AWESOME!!!! Hoping to make new friends soon, but you know me, I'm just too shy.
So last saturday was the pancakes for parkinson's breakfast, and that was fun. It was a little tiring, but mostly fun. People did come, but not too many, seeing as it was her first year. I actually think we did well for the first year. One lady asked me to take her picture next to the banner that read "Pancakes for Parkinsons: the Michael J. Fox Foundation" (or something like that). She informed me that her dad had Parkinson's.
"I want to show him that I'm trying to support him." I smiled and said, "That's good." I have had a little experience with parkinson's, so I understand her wanting to help her dad. I thought it was really nice.
So this summer Biology only goes from monday to thursday. It's all good. I get to sleep in TOMORROW! But I have to go to work a little later, anyway. Oh, well.
I'm actually a little hesitant about summer bio. See, one of the new teachers there, Mr. E, kind of creeps me out. He seems interested in me... a little TOO interested. I pointed the fact that he kind of creeps me out to Sweet Chica, and she agreed, although we haven't talked much about it. That's cool.
I have to say another thing. I've been thinking lately about what I do--ya know, babysitting and all. I do it every day, and it does actually get a little tiresome. I also learned I have no patience with children. This job is probably a no-no for me. So, I need to pray about it, and think about what I WOULD like to do. One girl in my neighborhood worked for the library, so I've been thinking about doing that. I actually think that's what I'm going to do. But I've got to see what God thinks. I happen to take into consideration his opinions, believe it or not.
I asked the girl in my neighborhood a little bit about what goes on. She says when she started, she began as a 'page', working about $7/hour. Not bad. Then, she moved up to a 'clerk' (I think). FYI: she worked for less than a year there. She's moving a way to college, so she had to quit her job. But to advance about three levels in less than a year is not bad. I think I would enjoy working in the library. I hope God thinks I would be a better librarian than a babysitter.
I will hopefully all let you know what I plan on doing. Until next time.
Hasta Luego (See ya later!)

Wendy's vs. the Gym
I have NOT joined facebook. Nope. Don't wanna. I'm stubborn that way. However, Blonde party-dancer has pretty much BEGGED me to join. But guess what? I don't have time for that. Not to 'update' my status or whatever, download pictures... not me.
I have my blog, and i am very satisfied with that, thank you very much. Sometimes, I don't even have time for that. Like this Saturday? probably not gonna blog. I have to supervise a youngster for about 3-4 hours because of a breakfast his mom is doin', and then I need to hang out with my friends. Sorry, weird 'lingo'.
But I must say I am proud of myself for keeping up with this blog. I recently read a comic about a daughter informing her parents about what a blog is. She described it as "an online journal." not a bad idea. Maybe i should just print off the blogs and stick 'em in my diary.
Anyway, today, I got out early. We've been getting out early all week. Very nice, very nice. So today, me and my gym buddies went to Wendy's, which is a little ways away from the high school. Lots of fun. They're both one year older than I am, so it was kind of weird being the youngest there. But oh well.
Kind of ironic, seeing as we just quit gym, and we're fattening up again. Hee hee. :D Not to brag or anything, but at the beginning of the year, I weighed 118 (that's not bragging), and approximately 26.2% of my body was body fat. 15-25% body fat is ideal for girls. So I was just a SMIDGEN overweight. My friends laughed at me, because apparently, I don't look like it. So at the end of the year, we test our weight and everything again.
I gained 3 pounds, now weighing 121 lbs. But guess what? My body fat went down to 22.1%! My teacher was very proud of me, and said, "good job!" which is much praise from the gym teacher. YES!!!
So here i am, sitting at my computer, being semi-gluttonous (glutunous?) It has recently come to my attention that I can't spell. Sorry. That's what spell checker is there for , though, right?
Tomorrow, I get to go to a yearbook party, which should be particularly entertaining. I'm not popular, so I'm not expecting very many signatures. That's OK, though, right? Popularity doesn't really matter to me. Not right now, anyway. I'm so bored, I'm kind of just rambling right now. Sorry.
So, I better find something GOOD to do, so I'm not... glutuonous. Ah, geez. Never mind.

Stupid People
Okay, so maybe of some of you remember my recent post on stupid people (if you could read it). Well, they're everywhere. I, as well as some of you, go to school/work with them. We be-friend them, and we even have to help them. I'm not trying to 'dis' the stupid people, but come on! Some of them, their problem is just COMMON SENSE!!!
It's the end of the school year, which means we have to turn text books in, right? Well, my science teacher was having problems with the system. Some of us had like, 8 fines according to 'him', when it was really the computer going ski-wampus. I felt so bad for him. He was getting a lot of heat from the parents as well as the students.
He explained to us--several times, might I add--this problem he was having. I got it the first time, and double checked ONLY ONCE. But some girls just don't get it. One girl, for example, EVERY DAY was complaining. She even complained to some other teacher in class (we have several classes together--ugh...) what was happening. I then raised my hand and proceeded to tell them that the science teacher was having problems with the system, and the 'head dpt.' wasn't showing him how to do it. The teacher that this girl was complaining to, my world-civ teacher, said, "I'm sure he'll fix it." She still complained about it.
As if that's not enough, she's LATE all the time. So the day my science teacher announces, "Well, I hope you're all happy, because I've been spending at least two hours for the last 3-4 days going in and typing in who had turned their book in and who hadn't." He had to go in BY HAND, instead of by the stupid system on the computer, to put who had and who hadn't turned in their book. We all cheered. Then, said stupid girl, comes in. LATE. And is dying to know why every one is clapping.
I almost said, "Well, if you hadn't been late, you would KNOW." But I didn't say anything, even though I probably should've. ARGH!!! Some of these people drive me up the wall. Don't even get me started on the people who aren't paying attention when the teacher says something, and then they turn around and ask something about what the teacher just said.
These people... they're EVERYWHERE!!!

Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old
fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying:
"Free to good home. You want it, you take it."
For three days the fridge sat there without even one person looking
twice at it. He eventually decided that people were too un-trusting of
this deal. It looked too good to be true, so he changed the sign to read:
"Fridge for sale $50." The next day someone stole it.

One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when someone
shouted... "Look at that dead bird!"
Someone looked up at the sky and said... "where???"
* * * * * * * * *
While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent
which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun
waking him up every morning.
She asked, "Does the sun rise in the north?" When my brother explained
that the sun rises in the east, and has for some time, she shook her head
and said, "Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff."
* * * * * * * * *
I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I got a
call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open.
I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."
He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the call quickly,
I said, "Uh, Pacific".
* * * * * * * * *
My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we overheard one
of the administrative assistants talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend
drive to the shore. She drove down in a convertible, but, "didn't think she'd get
sunburned because the car was moving".
* * * * * * * * *
My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car it's designed to cut
through a seat belt if she gets trapped.
She keeps it in the trunk...

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to the lost
luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up.
She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional
and I was in good hands.
"Now," she asked me, "has your plane arrived yet?"
* * * * * * * * *
While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go.
He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4
pieces or 6.
He thought about it for some time before responding. "Just cut it into 4 pieces;
I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces.
Yep, they walk among us
AND
they reproduce!

Dancin' the night away...
Sorry about my last post. Does it show up weird on your computer? Do the pictures show up? I hope so. Even the words are a little bit bigger. Real sorry about that. I was having such a HARD time just posting that. Anyway...
My weekend was a-OK. I got to sleep in, went to a dance I really didn't want to go to, but thanks to one of my closest friends, Blonde Party Dancer, went with me, things got a LOT better. Mr. T was going, which is why I had to go, seeing as I drive and all. My feet were pretty sore, but that's kind of because I'd been walking around all day, and my feet decided to be extra-sensitive that day. How odd.
We ate lots of cookies. They were the size of quarters, though (like, the change?), and they were just CUTE!!! They had macadamia, and chocolate chip. Hated the macadamia, and LOVED the chocolate chip. Lots of water, too. Then, the 'boot-scoot-'n'-boogie' came on. That is probably one of my most FAVORITE songs, and threw ALL my energy into it. Yeah, I probably got some crazy looks from people, but guess what?
I DON'T CARE.
That's how I burn my energy, so people can give me ANY look they want to, 'cause I'll just look at them and say, "Pooh to you!!!"
Today in choir, we watched a lady, Jane Monheit (I think). Beautiful voice, just WONDERFUL. But here's the thing? she's not too pretty. And the make-up... my car doesn't have that much paint. I can't even THINK of all the layers she put on. As if that's not enough, it looks like she went through a car wash that ONLY shoots out glitter. Yeah, literally. And her lips were HUGE!!! But she thinks they're too small or something, so she put the lipstick like, half an inch around what legally are her lips. She made really funny faces when she sang, too. Not cool.
But a beautiful voice. That's what counts, right?
