Thank you, people of YouTube.

-Bows-
So, I was uploading a bunch of music videos yesterday.
Finally got around to Madina Lake. Within an hour of posting In Another Life, the thing had 203 views.
Today, 20 hours later, it's got 3,879. Sheesh.

G-N-O? More like N-O

I just had to sit through Miley Cyrus's performance of 'Girls Night Out' ON the Nickolodeon Kid's Choice Awards.
Pure torture.
She was out of breath, the song's annoying, not even one of her tolerable ones.
And nice dancing. Real role model there.
Then she gives a nice little shout-out to the crowd.
"Thank you for coming to the 2008 kids choice awards, God bless you all."
All while she's stripping off her black leather jacket.
You couldn't have just left it on?
Honestly. Children look up to this girl.
Someone please explain this.

Picture Post #2 - for Manda

Well, this was the actual picture, of that flower in the last post.

Picture Post

Yeah well, I'm bored right now, and only on for another 20 minutes.

So I'm going to make a little picture post here.

Whether they're ones I took or ones I found online, it's still pictures.

Kay, well, I took the truck and the flower, but fixed them in my computer program...so yeah.

Bye.

Twilight Take Two - Midnight Sun

Well, Stephenie Meyer is quite a talent, indeed.
All of you addicted to her Twilight Saga? Yep, she's started another [NOT Breaking Dawn].
Whether it will be published or not, I don't know yet, but a rough draft of the first few chapters is up on her website, under 'other projects'.
This one is called Midnight Sun.
It is Twilight.
In Edward's perspective.
Great so far, even in the rough draft.
Check it out.

Interesting stuff, today.

Definitely.
So we had an Elluminate chat, with some of us on the newspaper and this little school over in Cookham, England. Evidently, the school was receiving an award from the government. So we had Theresa May, Member of Parliament there, also. Nice bunch of 6th graders.
Great fun. And I can now officially say I've 'met' someone from the English government. Nice.
So congrats to the school, we had fun.

Throw The Fight

Check 'em out.
Pretty rad band.

Slightly unknown, yet [sorry, guys] but that's why we have PureVolume.com right?
Well, that's how I found out about them. Go be friends with The Starting Line and you'll more than likely get an email from TTF.
And, if you get the newsletter like I do, then you got a nice little gift today.
Freaking wicked song, Ready For War, unavailable anywhere else. Download it for free.
Simply because the guys of Throw The Fight are just that awesome. They give us free music. Gotta love them.
Their debut album drops on April 24th, so make sure you run out and get that one. It'll be worth it.
But, just in case you're wary and have your doubts, you might think about checking out some songs on PureVolume, to be on the safe side.

"On a steady diet of Soda pop and Ritalin"

Green Day says it all.


So. Mike Adams. Smart dude.
He's hollistic nutritionist.
All natural health and stuff, for those of you who aren't quite getting 'hollistic nutritionist'.
Anyhow.
My mom gave me one of his articles over Easter. Most interesting.
Great timing too, considering you know you just ate a load of Easter candy. Artificial dyes and all.

How food companies fool consumers with food coloring ingredients made from petrochemicals.

^ It looks confusing. It's not.
Go read it.
Really. You'll be a hell of a lot more informed after reading that. It isn't that long. I don't care if you don't like reading or aren't 'into' this stuff.
Read it for your own good.

I mean, you know, unless you just want to continue eating beetle juice...

"I have one more interesting tidbit I'd like to share with you. You may be familiar with a red color ingredient called carmine; it can be found in strawberry yogurt and a variety of other products. Carmine is sourced from a mash made by grinding up beetles grown in Peru and the Canary Islands. The mash is strained out to obtain a red liquid. That liquid, made from insects, is then shipped to the United States to food companies, where it is dumped into the yogurt to make it look like there are strawberries in there. Folks, it's not strawberry. It's insect juice. That's what's in your yogurt (and a lot of candy and children's foods as well)."

Sounds real appetizing, doesn't it?
Yeah. We could all totally be on Survivor.

How about all of you who supposedly have ADHD? Have friends with it like I do? It sickens me because I know they're taking some flipped out medication for very little.
Clearly Mike Adams is with me on that.

"Eventually, artificial colors used in the food supply will likely be outlawed because they contribute to all sorts of health problems, the most notable of which are the symptoms diagnosed as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a behavioral pattern often brought on by Yellow #2 food dye. Children are being fed these chemicals in such large quantities that they begin to have nervous system malfunctions that ultimately are misdiagnosed as ADHD, learning disabilities, or violent behavior."

So you have a bit too much Halloween candy, start bouncing off the walls, mommy gets weirded out and takes you to Doctor Evil. Dr. E gives you Ridilin or some other ADHD-fighting crap. You take it, you're screwed. Dammit, kids are just hyper sometimes, and sometimes, evidently, it's Yellow #2. But do doctors tell you that? Uh, no.

Then again, can't really blame them for everything. They don't always know.
Blame the retarded FDA. [Food & Drug Administration. Also known as the Center of Evil.]

But you know. Don't take my word for it. Go read the article yourself.

Mentos + Coke = Bad

Yeesh.
Yeah yeah, I know it's been going on for a while now, but hey.
Better late than never.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uf3CMKZnj2g&NR=1
Point in short: Do not eat mentos and coke together. Just don't do it.
Technically, the fruity kind's okay, I believe. It's the mint ones that do it.
And evidently it works better with diet coke, which you've got to be a complete moron to drink, if you knew what that stuff IS.

Aretta

Although I happened to be the loudest baby out of my sisters and I, I would have never cried for a toy.
Until I found Aretta.
Don't ask me what kind of a name that is for a stuffed cat, but I saw it in the store when I was two and literally begged my mother for it. I'd have been slapped silly but I never did it. I needed that cat. It's strange, yes, I don't even know why I wanted it. But I did.
Not the point.
Oh and yes, it's name was "Aretta", not "Loretta" though everyone tried to persuade me differently every chance they got.
"Her name's Aretta."
"Loretta?"
"No, Aretta."
"You mean Loretta."
"No, her name is Aretta."
Time and time again. You'd think people would get it after a while.
But no, of course not.
I was two, with one hell of an imagination.
I still have the thing. It's a bit...beat up, but I still have her.
Yep.
Two year olds.

Weirdness in the extreme.

So how about that sting ray 'attack'?
People are out on their boat.
Lady's tanning and such.
All of a sudden....BAM!
75 pound sting ray flies out of the water and lands right on her.
Lady and sting ray die.
No, the stinger did not pierce her anywhere. It was the sheer impact of this thing hitting her, that sent her head back and killed her.
Tragic, really.
And weird, nonetheless.

One more Nickelback post.

While I'm at it.
People, stop saying you like Nickelback when you can't even spell their damned name.
It is Nickelback. Not 'Nickleback'. Okay? EL, not LE.
Gah.
If you don't believe me, go look at one of their CD's.

"I want a new tour bus full of old guitars and a star on Hollywood Boulevard, somewhere between Cher and James Dean is fine for me"

Everyone's heard it, but how many people like it?
I think it's split 50/50, for the most part.
Rockstar by Nickelback.
Well, you can't deny that it's the perfect description of Hollywood. And I'm guessing those who don't like it are the one's listening to Hannah Montana nonstop, or the ones who are simply delusional and hate to think of star-dom as something so terrible.
That, or they're complete haters.
Same thing but different.
Anyhow, I, personally love the song.
Suit yourself.

"If she was a President, she'd be Baberaham Lincoln"

Oh come on, you've got to love Wayne's World.
So, day before Easter we had a mini movie marathon.
First it was Wayne's World [Favorite bit here], then we flicked it over to watch the last hour or so of Dr. Dolittle. Then Forrest Gump came on. Amazing three hour movie, I'll tell you that much. "Momma always said life is like a box of chocolates. Never know what you're gonna get."
And finally we watched the first hour of the Karate Kid, with Ralph Macchio. And by that time it was about midnight so everything went off and we went to bed.
Of course, I didn't actually go to sleep until around 2, but that's a different story.

Well. New talent.

Huh.
My fingers are double jointed, so I can bend them back way far. Looks a bit like they're broken, freaks everyone out. It's awesome.
And just the other day I realized that I can turn my feet all the way around. Not both at the same time, but still.

Damn this unfairness.

It is Warped Tour time again, folks.
And I have the list of bands.
You know you want it.
Gah.
I'd kill to go to this,
And mostly because I saw Madina Lake and Anberlin mentioned on the line up.
Dammit.

Written in Red [oh that'd be a good band name...] are the ones I'd pretty much kill to see.
In silver are which ones I'd LIKE to see.

Come on, people. Be a tad more original, please?

Max Ride's Final Warning

Oooh. James Patterson has done it again.
The fourth book in the Maximum Ride series, called the Final Warning, was released March 17th. [I, lucky me, got it on March 14th.]
Shorter than the rest of the novels, but wonderful nonetheless.
I'm simply hoping there will be a fifth, because the whole Fax thing is yet to be resolved, and if there isn't another one then it's going to bug me forever.
And we can't have that.

Quotes from Max's nice little speech to the U.S. Government on Global Warming:

"Every minute of every day, cars belch exhaust. Factories spew toxins into the air, land, and water. We've cleared millions of square miles of forests, rain forests, and plains, which means tons of topsoil is just washing away. Which means loss of animals and plants, and increased fires, floods, and coastal disintegration. Just by stuff people have made, created, we're raising the overall temperature of the entire atmosphere! What do you plan to do when it's destroyed? Can we all hold our breath until we get a new one?"


Fast forward a page. Same speech.


"Right now America looks like a fatheaded, short sighted, gas-guzzling, arrogant blowhard to the rest of the world. And Sweden looks all clean and tidy and progressive. I mean, where's our sense of pride?"


Ooh.
Right on Max/James Patterson, right on.

Whoop. Updated again.

Forgive my absence. I know you're bored.
In any case, I have what I think is my favorite background so far. Nice green drippy puddle thing. For lack of a better description. And I added pictures.
Go ahead and happy dance. I'll wait.
......
......
......
Done?
There's also a list of some of my favorite bands/singers [in alphabetical order, not in the order I love them] at the bottom of this thing. Just scroll down six posts or so, you'll get there eventually.
So, you like?
Type up something, go comment. I need the feedback, kay?

Make Cookies, Not War

Pick flowers, not fights.
And all that jazz.
So, today marks the 5th anniversary of the Iraq War.
Yippee. Go President Bush.
Let us now take a trip to the 90's and let me put a big fat NOT onto that sentence.
There were even protesters of the War, out in San Fransisco today.
It was on CNN. Big news and stuff.
I saw one person with a sign that said "WAS IT WORTH IT?"
I'd like to answer it in my opinion, saying no it was not freaking worth it.
No, the protesters weren't reported to be violent, they were extremely varied in age. From younger to old [some people in their 60's and 70's] they were all out giving their fancy little opinions on this complete retardedness.
If I say so myself.
Five years, people, five years we have been at war.
Does it seem like that long to everyone else?
It seems longer to me.

Twilight. Excited? I am.

Oooh yes.

Twilight the movie, based on Stephenie Meyer's wildly popular book series is now in progress.

Productions started in February of '08 and most of the cast has now been chosen.

Cast so far:

Bella Swan - Kristen Stewart [I think she shall be wonderful.]

Edward Cullen - Robert Pattinson [I didn't care for the choice at first, but I have changed my mind and think it might work.]

Picture: Center

Alice Cullen - Ashley Greene [She had better be ready. Alice is my favorite Twilight character and it will not be appreciated if she gets screwed up.]

Picture: Center right

Jasper Hale - Jackson Rathbone [I think he fits my mental image. Shocker. And that wasn't sarcasm.]

Picture: Far right

Rosalie Hale - Nikki Reed [She looks as though she can be just nasty enough to pull off Rosalie.]

Picture: Center left

Emmett Cullen - Kellan Lutz [Well. He looks about right, to me. We shall see.]

Picture: Far left

Dr. Carlisle Cullen - Peter Facinelli [Ah, couldn't be better.]

Picture: Inside right

Esme Cullen - Elizabeth Reaser [I like her. Someone on YouTube had Lauren Grahm as Esme, and I just can't see that. Reaser looks like a brilliant choice.]

Picture: Inside left

James - Cam Gigandet [Wellll that one looks like he can pull off the evil, psychotic thing off rather well.]

Victoria - Rachelle Lefevre [She's listed as 'rumored' on imdb.com but I read somewhere else that she was chosen. So unless something changes, that is that.]

Jessica - Anna Kendrick [Also listed as a rumor, but I think she'd fit if she plays the part.]

Mike Newton - Michael Welch [Won't be difficult to remember his character name, will it?]

Eric - Justin Chong [Yes all you Nickolodeon-junkies, he IS the guy in Just Jordan. Not exactly who I pictured, but I'm not all too shocked.]

Charlie, Renée and any of the Quileutes have yet to be added to the cast list, either on imdb or Stephenie Meyer's official website.

I shall keep you posted, since this is the only way I can get out my excitement. So you get to be excited with me.

AND

More excitement, you may want to leave if you can't handle it.

The official release date of the next book, Breaking Dawn [Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and now Breaking Dawn] is set for July 7th, of this year. [2008].

I cannot wait.

Weird much?

Supernatural. Chyea.
Or not, but you never know.
My radio [er, one of them] has a mind of it's own.
I program it to one station, my favorite. It plays that station almost every morning and night, when I listen to it the most.
In the afternoon, however, it picks up the signal of another station. One I like, but it's got a little too much random pop for my liking.
All this without my ever touching the tuning dial.
Weirdness.

Really though, the one downside to the second station is that it always censors songs.
And I mean to the extreme.
I hate that.
There is a reason the song was written like that. I honestly doubt that hearing one or two 'bad words' in a song is going to morally corrupt some ten year old for the rest of their life.
It just isn't going to happen.

Desperate or...desperate?

You always see commercials for the online dating sites like E-Harmony and Match.com or whatever.
Now please, explain to me why people use those.
Are they really so desperate?
Clearly they're insanely uninteresting or just intolerable if they can't find someone offline.
Not that I'm much better myself, but at least I'm not one of the 'thousands of people' who have signed up.
-Sigh-
Get a life.

Who doesn't love crazy duets?

So.
Got Escape The Fate's CD, Dying Is Your Latest Fashion, at the new Target the other day. Good stuff, there.
And I was listening to one song today, and I decided.
Hayley Williams of Paramore should totally do a song with them.
Think about it for a moment. How awesome would that be?

Pronunciation Debates Rule.

It makes me crazy when people say things differently than I do.
Sorry, I know that sounds a tad strange, but it's just the way I am.
Like the word "either". That one doesn't bother me as much, since I'm good with both ways.
"I-ther" vs. "ee-ther"
And as of yesterday, since I spent most of my day at the store and watching CNN, another one is bugging me.
"Details."
There's the usual way 'dee-tails' and there's the other way, that bugs the hell out of me for no particular reason, 'deh-tails'.
Gah.

And the weirdness continues.

Well, weird to a certain extent. Politics are always weird. It's just a given fact.
So, Obama says he plans on this 'change' thing by 'bringing the people together', eh?
Yeah well I don't agree.
Change? Hell yeah. All for it.
Bringing people together? Not so sure.
Newsflash. People don't want to be 'brought together'. That is why there's Democrats and Republicans. Why we don't pick up the phone when someone we don't particularly like calls around.
Helping is great, sure. But it sounds slightly hokey, doesn't it?
Ah.

Also on Obama.
Geraldine Ferraro? Part of Hilary Clinton's campaign?
Well if you've watched the news at all during the last few days, you would know some of the comments she made about Barack Obama.
That if he were a white man he would not be in this position. She said he was very lucky to be who he is.
And the sad thing is she's exactly right.
I'm not at all racist, but think of everything the guy has said. Truth be told: He's said very little. It's 'we need change this, we need change that" but he rarely actually says what he plans to change, if elected.
And he's winning.
Personally, I still hate Hilary's idea for mandating health care - you cannot MANDATE to people how they spend their money or deal with their own health. You just can't. But, I still think she's the only one for the job, out of the candidates. Feel free to comment on that, but I'm not going to miss out on a debate, so think of that before you post, kay?
Yeah, so, Ferraro quit Hilary's thing.
She resigned, Elliot Spitzer resigned from his New York Governor spot and some...military dude [forget who he was exactly. Sorry.] resigned also.
Lots of people quitting recently.

Another mom with her brains scattered.

First we have power washing of the 2 year old.
Now we have the flinging into traffic of crazy-mom #2 and her 8 year old.
Yes, a highway ramp [you know, the long ones that go over the highway under you? A bridge-like thing? You cannot be that stupid.] is what they basically flew off of.
Mom takes her 8 year old son and throws him into the traffic below. Then she jumps off herself. I believe they were in an accident right before they jumped.
Strangely enough, neither of them were hurt.
But mommy dearest could be facing some charges.

Moco's adventure. Yeahh

Adorable story, really it is.
So. There's a beached whale that doesn't want to cooperate with the people heroically trying to save him.
Then you have Moco the dolphin.
Moco comes along and somehow convinces said whale to turn around and head back to the blue place called 'home'.
Smart dolphin.

We Welcome You To Munchkin Land.

Honestly.
My mom and I were in the grocery store yesterday. It was jam-packed with a bunch of foreigners who take up the entire isle and don't move when you ask and people with crazy outfits.
It's like we were just waiting for everyone to pop out of isles in bright Wizard of Oz costumes and start dancing and singing "We welcome you to munchkin land" and "follow the yellow brick road."
And my perfectly witty brilliance was absolutely stunning. It was pretty rad, all in all.
And we had cake.

What are people thinking?

Honestly. It's ridiculous.
So, by now most of the country has probably heard of the Elliot Spitzer thing. And if you haven't, then you're probably just some sort of hermit under a rock on an island without cable signals. -Shrugs-
Anyway.
Elliot Spitzer = Governor of New York.
Or, he was the Governor of New York. He resigned yesterday, after publicly apologizing for...well he didn't specifically say what he was sorry for. Of course, we already know what he should be sorry for.
Evidently, he was hiring prostitutes. And this is a guy who was always noted as the shining star of everything good. Yep. Real star on the Christmas tree, that one.
Worst part? He has a wife, and three teenage daughters.
Do these people just think they won't get caught? That they're above the law because of their positions? Is it pure ignorance or arrogance?
The guy doesn't even have many friends, because of the way he got into power by elbowing everyone else. No friends, prostitution evidence against him, and complete and utter hypocrisy.
I'd wish him luck with this but he doesn't deserve any.

Finally, Mother Nature is turning in my advantage.

It seems we're going to have a nice, stormy night.
I should only be so lucky.
I can't even explain how much I love when it storms at night.
Success at last.
It's already dreary out.

How do people sleep with themselves?

Honestly.
Today, in Orlando, Florida, a mother's tactics for disciplining her 2 year old girl was.....
Drum roll, please.
She used a power washer [basically a high-power hose] and sprayed her.
Then she stripped the girl and left her there to go get a towel.
All this happened in a car wash.
What a mom. Oh, mother of the year for sure.
They had the video on CNN a bit ago.
Evidently, madame crazy invited the police to her home.
And then told them that she had used these tactics with her daughter before.
Yep.
This lady has got to get all her cornflakes in one bowl.

The Matrix [For lack of a better subject line]

Yep.
Watched the Matrix Reloaded with my daaaaad today.
Freaking awesome movies.
Just...unbelievable.
The people who came up with that one have some imaginations.

Is it rad x2

I'm thinking this one will work better, yes?
The background, nimrod, the background.
In any case...

American Idol was 50/50 tonight.
I hate whoever got Danny and Asia'h [because she was great and he was freaking hysterical] off, but I'm happy with everyone else that got into the top 12. Besides Chekezie and Kristy Lee Cook. Those would have been the two I would have substituted for Danny and Asia'h. Simply because I just don't think they're memorable, and I hate most country music, so sorry Kristy. [Though I adore that she's into horses. Love them a billion times over.]
Then again, I've never bothered to vote, so I can't complain.
Whatever.

Tried making some random cupcakes.
Used normal sugar instead of confectioners sugar.
Turned out badly.
Who knew?

So is it rad, or is it rad?

New background.
Can't really consider it 'new' considering the last background was basically a black wall, but ah well.
It's Green Day [duh] and therefore, it rules your blog.
And you know it, your jealous, and you are just going to crawl up in your bed for the rest of the day.
Yes. Go. Sleep.....
I think I need sugar.

By the way, if the colors just suck for you and you can't read it, please comment, because that's the only way I'm going to find out.

Strength in numbers? Yeah, small numbers.

My school newspaper, [which is, of course online,] has 110 students registered in it.
Now, stick your hand in the hat and pull out the number of students you think actually have something to do with the paper.
Try about 25.
Literally, I just counted.
The catch: You have to be in a course in the online school to be in a club. The newspaper club is in fact a club. The thing is, when you finish your courses, whether it be indefinitely or between semesters, your name is still sitting in the student list for the club, but you can't access it.
So, the only thing I can't elaborate on is how many students can't access the club and how many are just uninterested.
Things to ponder...

Insanity I tell you

PureVolume.com never ceases to amaze me.
They don't have Nickelback songs, but they have Guns 'n' Roses.
....-shrugs- They have Guns 'n' Roses.
I'm a happy camper.

My Newest Addiction

Well, you know, besides music in general.
It's ridiculous.
Besides my crazy mix Cd's, the only music I've been listening to for like a week is Kill Hannah [Yes Abbey, it's actually a band name. Tell miss copycat THAT one. Haha] and Children 18:3.
As much as I love Kill Hannah ["I want a girl with lips like morphine, knock me out every time they touch me..."], Children 18:3 is my newest find, and honestly, I'm addicted to them.
The one song, Homemade Valentine, is just...unbelievably catchy.
"We pasted all our hopes on him, like the paper hearts on a homemade valentine, we wasted all our hopes on a whim, and they let us down, it's all coming down again."
Does that not sound like a song you'd want to listen to over and over again or what?
Check 'em out. Good stuff.
And Kill Hannah, too, of course. Can't forget them.


NOTE:
The links provided in this post are not the official sites to the mentioned bands. They are simply links to their pages on PureVolume, where you can listen to some of their music.

Alzheimer's, anyone?

Mhmm. I suggest you put down that aluminum kitchen thing.
Put the aluminum foil back in the drawer and listen up.
Everyone knows what Alzheimer's disease is, right? [Even if you can't spell it.]
....Fine, fine. For those of you who don't, in fact, know what it is, I'll give you the cheat-cheat version. It's when your brain gets retarded and you can't remember anything. Make sense? Yeah, moving on.
Any idea as to what might cause this dreadful happening? If you can't after looking at the first sentence of this post, I can honestly say that you have an intellect rivaled only by cotton balls.
Aluminum is a major cause of Alzheimer's disease.
So, when you're out and see a nice-looking kitchen appliance [pots and pans, or anything at all], put it down and back away slowly, then shake your head in disgust and remorse at the poor, unsuspecting people who are buying them.

Down with aluminum.

Abbey has joined the blogger group

Oh yes.
So now it's Abbey, Manda, Jojo, 'Jasmin' and your favorite - me.
You know I'm your favorite, stop denying it.

^ Abbey's blog, check it out, she's rad.
And she's not all boring like me. Whoooo. Go Abbs.
Aaanyhow, go blast up her page hits. And I mean it, go comment and shtuff.
You love me, you love Manda, you love, Jojo, you love me, you love 'Jasmin' [I do the '' because it isn't her name. Be surprised.] now go love Abbey.
You shall not regret it, earthlings.
Haha. I called you earthlings. How fitting.

By the way, it is in fact Abbey with an 'e'. Not 'Abby'. Take out the 'e' and you're going to get kicked in places you don't want to be kicked and that is a promise.
Now run along before I go all Invader Zim on you.

Hershey has left the building

Well, the country, anyway.
I recently heard that the Hershey chocolate company is moving.
Everyone knows that Hershey's been located in Hershey, PA for as long as anyone can remember, right?
Yeah, say goodbye to that fact, kiddies.
Evidently, Hershey is now going overseas.
To no where other than China.
That's just wonderful.
Push one of the biggest candy companies in the United States over to the country who's so obviously screwing us up with lead in our toys and so many other things.
Yep, really hitting the nail on the head with that one. Congratulations.
I'm never eating Hershey again.

Ugh. Why me?

I am quite literally disgusted.
Nah, I'll live. But come on. 'Megan'?
That's orginal.
It's not the name itself that's bugging me.
It's the fact that my name means....
-horror-
'Pearl'.
How fitting. -sarcasm-
Perhaps, though, the retard-o meaning has something to do with how I turned out.
And, if I do say so myself, I rather like the way I turned out, even if not many others do.
-shrugs-
Worse things have happened.

"How about...Cornelius?" "How about not, Nimrod" "Dude! Nimrod the iguana."

Ah. Forgot to mention.
Parents also got the first season of Surface.
All bow down to whichever store they picked that one up at. Damn.
It aired on NBC in...'06 or '05, can't remember which. I shall go on an Internet hunt and find out.
In any case, now we can ditch the tapes.
Surface lovers, you know you're jealous. We had taped every single episode of the show when it came on. Just because we rock like that.
Honestly, it's not fair though. That show was rad. NBC should bring it back. Screw the fact that it first came on a few years ago. People would watch it.
People did watch it. I know my family isn't the only one that misses it. Come on, say it with me. Television nowadays sucks. Badly. That show had a plot line, decent characters, and it was just all around different. Not much like that on TV anymore.
It's all Hannah Montana/Laguna Beach crap. And I know plenty of people who despise those shows, not unlike myself.
Bring back Surface.

SUCCESS

Alriiiiight. -Pumps fist in the air-
Parents picked up the Matrix [Reloaded and Revolutions. Already seen the first on TV. Twice.] while they were out today.
Happiness reigns.
Freaking awesome movie, the first one was. I'm hoping the other two will do it justice.

Her site was terminated, and her blog is now open.

Indeed. Manda has now joined blogger, as the random, opinionated-as-me blogger-chick with a crazy rad sense of sarcasm and humor.
And blah blah blah.
Anyhow. Check her out.

You know you want to.
And hey, reading random blogs that you either agree with or not is a hell of a way to kill time.
