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

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!)

extra extra! read all about it!

my shop has finally been updated just in time for christmas!

yaaaaaay!

VISIT NOW!

i'm considering hiring a bodyguard...

job requirements:
- looks intimidating
- marital arts training
- passed body guarding school
job description and specifications: a well built male to accompany my sister and i on walks to and from places. your presence should discourage the people driving by from hitting on us, etc... and also to act as protection (beat them down!) if they try to kidnap us or something.
pay: we'll discus it. bonuses for beating up bad guys! :D
apply today!

you know you need a body guard if you can't go walking in your own neighborhood without getting hit on. and when people are driving by screaming "HEY!! how much?! how much for both your sweet-- [the rest of this sentence is censored]?!!?!" you kinda get a little scared. i know i talk about these things a lot, but it happens too often, and all i have to say is that i'm very disgusted with guys these days. i don't think i'm asking for it either! i was fully clothed and coverd (thanks to cold weather) and had minimal makeup on today.

guys are just lame.

subarashii!! watashi nekkyo!!

You Should Learn Japanese

You're cutting edge, and you are ready to delve into wacky Japanese culture. From Engrish to eating contests, you're born to be a crazy gaijin. Saiko!

What Language Should You Learn?

um... cool?

You Have Your PhD in Men

You understand men almost better than anyone. You accept that guys are very different, and you read signals well. Work what you know about men, and your relationships will be blissful.

How Well Do You Understand Men?

i have to tell on myself

...for almost completely forgetting about a certain well known, all-american holiday commonly known as thanksgiving. till wednesday afternoon when my lil sis said something about making cookies 'for tomorrow' and i'm just like "what the heck for?" to which she proceeded to drop a couple verbal anvils on my head... X_x so apparently yesterday was thanksgiving...but i think you already knew that.

and now all of a sudden i'm freaking out because there is CHRISTMAS MUSIC playing on my radio?! XDDD why am i still mentally back in like..april? maybe it's the weather? maybe it's just me? someone help me!!!

oh but i had a good thanksgiving! did lots of cooking and lots of eating. first year i actually enjoyed the turkey *gasp* cause of this great stuff called cranberry horseradish sauce something-or-other... turkey is so disgustingly bland otherwise (bleh). everything else was delicious as well (in fact, i might actually eat the left overs this year! omg, lol) ^__^ the rest of the day was pretty good too... we watched a movie, then went to a friend's house and played a few extreme rounds of jenga over some sodas, then went home and watched another movie. the end!

ever feel like the holidays just kinda sneak up on you?
or rather, the holiday spirit...

ta ha, i crack me up! XD (and yes, i made this comic... i know, i'm lame ^-^)

and if you haven't already, please scroll down and take my poll! thanks!
