converse + rain = LAME!

why, oh why, oh why did i wake up at 8 am after getting home at 4 something am?! and why couldn't i fall back asleep??! of all days? why?
so apparently if i'm going to be able to get up on time to get to my one college class (and brilliant me, it's in the morning) then i need to stay out till 4 am every night before class and i'll be wide awake the next morning when i need to be... anyone wanna join me?? =D

i was at the mall today (good times by the way) and was kinda wondering.... those automatic flushing toilets... how do they work really? i mean yeah i know it's like some kinda censor or something.....but what if it was like, some room somewhere full of prison inmates or toilet flushing gnomes watching a little screen and pushing the button every time you stand up? ... that's so wrong man. seriously. and when the toilets at the movie theater flush it sounds like someone stepped on a cat...... but anyway!! random topic over.

on to another one! XD

(hopefully you can read it...)

please note: "Sooper Dooper Soda"

see my hair?

i dyed the ends of my hair red yesterday... but it was like a spray in thing that washes out in one wash, so i think i'm gonna dye it again later this week so it'll last longer than a day. it's was a little brighter than it is in this picture... but yeah ^_^ i like it.
i'm not feeling so great today... stupid colds been going around *sigh*

feliz navidad

(post christmas thoughts... or whatever)

well, that was an interesting christmas...being that it was on sunday and whatnot.
i got a digital camera ^_^ heh, but it's cheap and the pictures come out like crap... and to prove it: i took this picture with it... that green blob on the bottom is my bed...with my awesome princess canopy/net thingie that i got for christmas XD lol. and you can see the squishy panda i got... and my wall that i haven't changed the pictures on for like 2 years XD and the random dresser in the middle of my floor that i'm trying to get rid of. anyone want it??
anyway, i had a good day and i'm happy with the stuff i got (cheap though it may be)

only one regret...
shannel's dad wants to kill me. *sigh* i knew i should have gone with the stuffed rabbit. phantom of the opera dvd, pssh! oh well..... i've lived a full life so far, right?

you're as cuddly as a cactus

you're as charming as an eel. mr. grinch.

haha, Dr. Seuss was either a genius or a crazy man... either way, if i had a cell phone i think i'd want the grinch song as my ringtone. cuz the regular christmas song ones are like EVERYWHERE! so yeah... not to say i'm a grinch about christmas or anything. but i was sick of christmas songs before november was over XD

You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch.

You're the king of sinful sots.

Your heart's a dead tomato splot

With moldy purple spots,

Mr. Grinch.

i don't think i've ever heard that part.... i wanted to post the whole song (cuz it's hilarious!), but it's actually kind of long ^^ so you can read it here: http://www.seuss.org/seuss/mr.grinch.html

shameless plug ^^

yeah, cuz i have nothing interesting to post about...

the magical link of clickage!!!

(DOO EET FOO!!)




finished your christmas shopping yet?? i haven't! XD

tacos, hubcaps, and things like christmas cards

so my sister and i went to taco bell today (yeah, we do that a lot...it's the only close food place really) and we're sitting down to eat and this *ahem* "mentally challenged" (gotta be politically correct) man wearing a taco bell uniform comes up to our table and hands us an envelope and says "merry christmas" XD so of course we do like any decent people would do and say "thank you" and "merry christmas to you too" and all that jazz... he limps away and we're just sitting there like "uhhhhhh.... that was odd?" so we figure maybe it's some new company thing at taco bell to hand out cards to customers...but he isn't giving them to anyone else? ......weird. so we left it on the table till we finished eating (don't know why) then we open it up... average christmas card with the average cheesy christmas card greeting "happy holidays" blah blah blah whatever with just his name signed to it in handwriting worse than my little brothers XDD i was gonna scan it for you... but i'm tired and it's late, so meh. it was just random!! who gives total strangers christmas cards?! apparently steve bake/blake/blqrke does (can't read his hand writing) ..yeah, i think i'll scan it tomorrow.
annnnd on the way home i picked up the loveliest decorator item... yes, it will go perfect with the theme i'm working with right now.... and it was just laying right on the side of the road too! so convenient! but seriously...walking down the street with a hubcap can make a person feel pretty silly ^_^; my mom was really excited about it though, so i guess it was worth the silliness of people asking me about it and stuff XD (if you don't know, don't ask) but the hubcap will be on display in the tweens room in a few months after we decorate it XD woo! so fun! anyway
when we finally made it home we played a couple relaxing rounds of lord of the rings (video game) (HAHA!) thinking we're just gonna chill the rest of the day (haha again). end up getting to go decorate for the youth christmas party tomorrow night.. wee! fun! i like decorating ^_^ but yeah... untangled like 5 miles of christmas lights, put up fake christmas trees for the first time, cut a million snow flakes... really i'm pretty proud of what we came up with for the limited resources we had ^__^ oh yeah, the party tomorrow night is gonna be lots of fun!!
and there was more to my day (bible college and stuff), but this is already quite lengthy... so i'll just stop here. (if you want to read more then just read my previous posts. good stuff.)

because my mom is paranoid... a poem by me

i was going to just tell you about my little dilemma... but i think it's much more interesting this way. (and i know i'm no poet...this was just for fun, so ignore all the grammatical errors and such) oh and it sounds better if you read it out loud ^^

a drivers licence is a lovely thing
great for getting places, oh the freedom it would bring!
yes, and i'd probably have one today...
if my mom wasn't paranoid of me driving on the freeway

i think i'd do just fine, driving in a strait line
even going real fast... yes, that would be quite fine!
"it's not you i'm worried about, it's everyone else" she would say
because my mom is paranoid of me driving on the freeway

alas, it is true, and you thought i was joking
but it scares her more than the thought of me smoking
the big trucks and walls off which i might ricochet
are reasons why my mom is paranoid of me driving on the freeway

i'm a safe driver though, really i am!
i look in my mirrors and use both my hands
but that doesn't matter, not to mom anyway
because my mom is paranoid of me driving on the freeway

and had i my licence, out shopping i'd be
buying christmas presents to put under the tree
but here at home is where i will stay
because my mom is paranoid of me driving on the freeway

either way, i have no job and no money
and it's not my fault, so stop looking at me funny!
i'd have a job, and it would have really good pay
if my mom wasn't paranoid of me driving on the freeway

and if i had a job, then i could afford a car
to take me places near and far
but a car is pointless, as i have no licence to this day
because my mom is paranoid of me driving on the freeway

and if i had a car, well that would be awesome!
i'd fill it with junk, go places, kill possums
but i'll have to wait a few years for that kind of play
because my mom is paranoid of me driving on the freeway

yes, life would be grand, with a licence in hand
i might actually be on time to practice with the band!
but instead i sit here and waste my day away
because my mom is paranoid of me driving on the freeway

i have nothing to do! my life is so lame!
everyday is pretty much the same... but i won't complain
i'll just sit here and keep thinking of words that rhyme with "way"
because my mom is paranoid of me driving on the freeway


fin.

pirates and lions and witches, oh my!!

woooh!! awesome! i just found out that pirates of the caribbean will be a playable world in kingdom hearts 2!! XD oh, and saw the preview for the next pirates of the caribbean (dead man's chest)! it looks great!! can't wait for july 7th!!!

i think you can see the preview here.

oh and i saw narnia...lol, can you tell i'm more excited about the previews i saw rather than the movie? it was pretty good though. stayed true to the book for the most part...with a few extra things here and there. i won't spoil it for you... over all, i give it a 4 out of 5 on the melissa scale of movie enjoyment. (and i'm seeing it again sunday...heh)

and that's all for today ^_^

cheerio!

banana cream pie!!

is yummy... ^-^
well, today was rather random... i found out that a certain guy-friend of mine likes to wear eyeliner 0_o yeah, kinda queer...but he's not. so i'm just kinda like "eh, okay" ^_^; he's cool, but eyeliner..... why? you're pretty enough as it is!! XD

hey here's a random link i found like just now... so like make with the clickage here!! (super niffty stuff!)

among other things... i got a spiffy cool star wars watch from burger king today for $1.99.... my other watch is broken, so what the heck ^_^ (yes, i know i'm a nerd. lemme alone)

okay i think i'm done with my random post now - cheers! <3

way to avoid doing the dishes #362.8

it took me OVER two hours and 3 CDs to do the dishes this morning (don't do dishes without music, you'll go crazy). and i must say, there's nothing quite like the feeling of soggy fruit loops and burnt potato chunks, and who knows what else floating around between your fingers in the morning... except for maybe the feeling of scraping two day old crusty oatmeal out of a bowl with your fingernails *insert fingernails on chalk board sound here* (i don't want to gross you out too badly, so i won't tell you about the sour milk and spoiled meat products and such) - and have i mentioned that we don't have a working dishwasher? yep, yep, all the thanksgiving leftover dishes that have been sitting in the fridge for weeks...all washed by hand. plus tons of dishes from baking my sister's birthday cake yesterday... all that stuff sitting out over night looked (and smelled) absolutely beautiful this morning! living in a house with 6 people who are constantly eating creates A LOT of dishes... i don't really recommend it.
oh but good news! i can almost feel my hands again...but i think the 4 layers of skin that is pealing off my fingers may take a while to grow back... oh well

and not that anyone cares, but i'm now officially a college student, as of monday...with a student ID number and everything (yay me!)
