When Explorers Meet Amazing Creatures *dun dun dun!!* + Somewhere Like This and In Your Arms

Sorry I haven't written in the past 2 days, but I was bit busy with quite a couple of things. On Thursday I went to the ZUMBATHON with Kary and Tinachris!!! It was super fun! After almost being late to the event, we danced for two hours, non stop. Some of those dances were cray but it was a heck lot of fun to try to dance them :P I gotta say that after that, I have been super SORE. My legs are killing me right now... I can barely straighten them out. I think I might have completely destroyed every muscle in my body O_O Oh well... At least I had a fun time :) That same night, I watched "Final Destination 2" (which I had already seen) with Kary and she seemed a little disgusted every time one of the characters died.... Hmm.... Anyways! Earlier that day and ALL of Friday, Kary and I worked on a series of videos for our friends. I can't say exactly what the purpose of the videos are because it's still a secret, but I will say they were TONS of fun to make! ^_^ We titled the series "The Search for Amazing Creatures: The Big Question." The series pretty much follows the story of two explorers that go on an adventure in the Saharan rainforest to find and capture 5 mythical creatures. After capturing them in the most creative ways, the explorers are able to interview each one of the creatures and ask them a very, very, VERY important question... The series also includes 2 commercials and an awesome blooper reel. I can't wait for my friends to see the complete series! :D

Oh I almost forgot to mention that I went to the art studio on Thursday :) It was fun to go their with my friends and Mr. Sir (the art instructor) gave me a medium size canvas and allowed me to use acrylic paint! Well he did make fun of me for not knowing my right and left, but he's still a pretty cool teacher.

Now I wanted to show you guys this video made by the WongFu Production guys. It's a very sweet video. I honestly thought I was going to cry at one point..... :( The video is called "Somewhere Like This" and I LOVE the song at the end of the video. If you're wondering what the song is, it's called "In Your Arms" by Kina Grannis.

ZUMBATHON!... Is that Poultry Science? + Single Ladies!

     Wow... I'm actually excited about tomorrow. I'm gonna go to the Zumbathon at school tomorrow with Kary tomorrow! Oh and I'm gonna sleep over at her house, which means a marathon of romantic movies and LOTS of food! :DDD Hmm... I should also ask her for some help on my Calculus homework since I'm gonna be spending time with her.... Ehh that can wait :P

     On a different note, I've been getting kinda lazy about this blog and it happens to me ALL the time. Gah! I just need to fight this laziness because I'm not giving up on this blog just yet. I'll try to write on here at least every other day. I just feel like I run out of things to talk about but I can ramble for a little longer. So random, but I liked Shuffle's pants today! They were Family Guy pajama pants with Stewie all over them ^_^ Oh and don't get me started about his shirt. It was... how can I say it... Interesting..... Let's just say that it mentioned a part of the female body O_O Which reminds me, Kary and I were thinking about acting in the Vagina Monologues next year at school. We LOVED watching them last year and are for sure watching it this year because they were HILARIOUS! Now it's our turn to be in them :) And speaking about weird extracurricular activities, Kary, Tinachrissy, and me signed up for a Poultry Science seminar type of thing for this summer! It just seemed really interesting and different so if we get accepted, we could go for four days and learn ALL about poultry :D I can't wait to see people's faces whenever they read our college applications and see that listed under our extracurriculars. They are gonna laugh! Well, at least we'll be making an impression, right?

     I just thought I would mention this one thing I saw yesterday. Umm... Russell wrote something on his Facebook for the first time since.. well you know what. I can tell he's obviously not very happy considering his post was about people being hypocrites for saying America was free and yet told others what they can and can not do. Hmm....  I really wonder what that post was about. Well I can only guess considering I'm never going to ask...

Do you guys like the song "Single Ladies"? Yay! Then watch Justin Timberlake and Beyonce dance it!

Also check out this girl dancing "Single Ladies". I think she's really good! (Although I have no clue who she is....)

I gotta run now! I've got to go dry my hair before it gets any later... Ciao!

Thriller! Thriller Night! >:D + Christian Porter Sings "Sexy and I Know It"

Hey sexiness ^_~ *purr*... Yeah I know that was pretty hot, right? Okay maybe not U_U Anyways! Today was a pretty normal day. I went to school, took a Bio lecture test (which I think I did AWESOMELY on :D), applied for a business summer camp in Georgia, and had fun with my friends playing Pictionary while watching people present their speeches. Here's an actual picture from the game. Yeah I'm bad at drawing cartoon like things in a short period of time....

Can you guess what it is?? Come on.... It's pretty obvious... It's a giraffe doing a cart wheel!! :D Jk! Its thriller :P

Oh so I've been putting off turning in my entry for the Superintendent's art contest and I've finally decided what drawing I'm turning in. It hurts both me and my mom to let go of this drawing because we LOVE it. But, we all have to let go of things in life and this is one of them. Either way, if I lose I get it back and if I win, I can get it back in 3 years. If I win on the high school level, my drawing will be hung on the superintendent's office for those 3 years, which is pretty cool to me. I just hope it's not too late to turn it in... They didn't really give me a due date so I'm slightly worried. It's been a little over 2 weeks since I found out I was nominated. Oh well... We'll see tomorrow. If you guys don't quite remember my Nick Jonas drawing, here it is! This is the drawing I'm entering for the competition :)

I was really shocked a couple of minutes ago when I logged on here and realized I had 28 views today! I know this might not sound like much but it's twice what I usually get on a normal day. This makes me really happy ^_^ You know what else makes me happy? This AWESOME cover of "Sexy and I Know It" I watched today on the premiere of season 4 of The Voice!! It took me a couple of seconds to realize what song it was. Christian Porter's version is just so.... different and unique! I was amazed, shocked, fascinated, intrigued, and so much more when I heard him sing the song. You HAVE to check it out!

New Drawing! + A Dog Who Loves Music :)

You know how I said I was working on a new drawing yesterday?? Well I'm FINALLY done!!!!!! :DDD I think it turned out really well. It took me all day today and part of last night to draw it, but I feel really proud of it ^_^ I don't draw very often, but when I do I try to do my best and I think I showed that with this drawing. Now I'll stop yapping about it and just show you guys :P

Now my mom wants me to make a drawing of her U_U.... I'm planning on doing it for her but after I rest for a couple of days. I'm kinda tired now and have a LOT of studying to do.... *sigh* I gotta keep in mind that school is what's gonna give me an education and take me places later on. It'll pay off.... eventually..... hopefully...... *gulp*

Any who ha!! It's time for funny time! Here is a golden retriever who just LOVES the guitar. Without it he would be one sad doggy and we sure don't want that.

From Painting To How To Attract a Man ^_~

'Sup guys! I know I've kinda been a bit lazy with this blog this week and haven't posted anything so... I'm sorry :/ I'll try to keep posting often even if I have to drag my lazy butt up and get the computer to ramble like I usually do here.

Today was a pretty good day. I went to school early and got to attend a free art seminar with Ash, the Yamster, and another one of my classmates! We got to use oil paint (which is apparently really expensive) and we got a canvas to paint on. We had to paint these apples and oranges on wrinkled cloth. You might think "well that sound really easy...." Well you're wrong!!!! >_< It's a bit harder than you think but I thought it was really fun and relaxing. The teacher was really funny :) He told us his nickname was Sir so that's what I'm going with :P I finished my painting by the end of the day and I think it turned out pretty well for never having painted before. I got multiple compliments on it so that makes me feel really good ^_^. Oh and while we were at the art studio, we learned about this art club called "Acrylix" and I joined! :D It seems really cool AND there's an art auction thing that I could join and sell my art in! I'm really excited about that and I'm planning on turning some of my art in and see if anything sells. I mean what do I have to lose, right? I'm actually working on a drawing right now. It's a self portrait that I decided to try out since I've never attempted drawing myself. Let's see how that goes! Now here is the painting I made today of the fruit. If you want, let me know what you think :)

Sorry the picture quality isn't too great but I took the picture with my phone. I still have to go back and sign my painting because the girl there couldn't find the small paintbrushes today but that's alright. I plan on going back to the studio many times again *smile*

Now it's time for F-U-N.... FUN!!!! Want to know the secret to attracting a man?? Well Steve Harvey knows the secret so check it out and don't be shy... Try it out ^_~

Our Baby is Growing Up T_T + Jimmy Fallon & Justin TImberlake Rap!

Hey you sexy people ^_~ hehehe yeah I have no clue what you look like.... Anyways! I have updates on La-a (Ladasha)! She's my Biology group's tobacco hornworm that we're observing for a project. It hasn't even been a week and she's more than double the size! Our little baby is growing up so fast :'( Soon enough she'll be all grown up and ready to move out... get married.... have children.... I'm too young to be a grandma!!! :O

So I've been reading some more of The Measure of Madness and the more I read it, the more I realize I want to be a forensic psychologist. This book is so addicting and I just can't stop reading it! All of the cases are unique in their own way, tackling different situations and problems a forensic psychologist can run into with the defendants and in assessing them. I want to do my graduation project on something dealing with psychology, but I just haven't figured out what exactly. At least I have the summer to think of something and get my thoughts together before I have to do the entire project. I feel like I've been taking this whole college thing more seriously and focusing on it more lately. I'm trying to get stuff done that I'm going to need for college applications, like taking the SAT, ACT, getting to know the application deadlines, the requirements, finding out about volunteering opportunities, scholarships, and figuring out what I want to study and what colleges I'm interested in. I really hope I can get to where I want to be when I'm older.

Any who ha! I was amazed at how much I actually knew in Calculus today! :DD I worked out all the problems right, was able to help Kary, and sorta help out two of the pops from failing miserably on the board in class today. I feel kinda good right now about Calculus, but I know not to EVER get too confident about that class because when you least expect it, it can come back and bite you in the butt!

Now check out this video of Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake singing. These dudes are TALENTED! I wouldn't miss this if I were you.... This one's for Kary! :D

Danni Wins the Biggest Loser! + Madea Does NOT Get Angry

Wow.... It's been a LOONGG day.... Whew! I am exhausted. I've been doing homework ever since I got home and I'm finally done. Today in Calculus class I decided to volunteer to go up to the board and answer a problem since I knew how to do it (finally!) and I got it right. In Biology I had a quiz in which I got ALL of the questions right so WOOHOO!! :DD *celebration starts playing on the background as Moneeka happily dances* Hehehe :P Anyways, I played some ping pong at school too just to get a prize. I got a bracelet and not knowing what it meant, I chose the one that said "krewe" on it. As it turns out krewe just means an organization that prepares a carnival... How lame is that?? I thought it would mean queen or something in French but nope! Just something lame... During lunch, I called my mom and found out that I was rejected to Governor's School just like the rest of my friends. Know what that means?? A long.... boring.... and stupid summer U_U.... *sigh* Well I guess after having the AWESOMEST summer of my life last year, the world has to balance it out by making this summer super lame. Oh well... I'm used to those lame summers anyways.

On a different note, I wanted to congratulate Danni Allen for winning The Biggest Loser tonight!!! :D I actually wanted her to win from the beginning so I'm glad she did. She deserves it :) But I have to admit the other guys did an outstanding job too.

CONGRATULATIONS DANNI!

Now on to funnier things.... I'm sure everyone has seen this scene from "Madea Goes To Jail" but I thought I would post it on here for you guys who want a laugh a second time. Enjoy as Madea talks to Dr. Phil about her "anger management problem"! :D

WongFu Production Guys Are Scary! :O

Hey! Just thought I would randomly post this video I thought was funny. I hope this never... ever... EVER happens to me O_O...... *gulp*

If you guys wanna check out another video from the WongFu Production guys, look below! Watch what happens when a HUGGER meets a person with physical contact problems. I don't even have that problem and I'm scared of..... *looks around and whispers* the hugger....

From Surprises to Evil Stares to Amazing Books!

Today was a pretty good day in my opinion. This morning I went to the library with Kary and while she was looking for a book I wanted to read (which I will get to later in this blog because the book is freaking AWESOME!), this guy came up to me and this was the convo we had:

Guy: "Hey, are you the girl from the big poster?"

Me: "Yeah, that's me!"

Guy: "Well I'm the guy" *smile*

Me: "Oh! You're the guy!"

Guy: "Yup! I'm the guy"

Me: "I didn't recognize you"

Guy: "Yeah my hair's gotten longer"

A bit later....

Guy: "Bye"

Me: "Bye"

Okay I'm not sure if I told you guys before, but last year during an event they do at the college, they asked me, some girl, and that guy if they could take some pictures of us for the college's publications and ads. We agreed and they took our pictures. Well when I went back to school after winter break, BAM! My picture with the guy was made a HUGE poster and put at the front of the college for everyone to see, which was really cool :D I hadn't seen that guy ever since we took that picture so I was shocked to see him again today. He was pretty nice.

Any who ha! I later went hiking on the trail at school with Kary and Shuffle and were mistaken by two people for middle schoolers U_U (the middle schoolers were on a field trip to the college btw).... *sigh* Do we really look that young?? I don't think so but.... oh well! I had fun walking on the trail anyways. Now to bad things.... I'm getting quite a bit annoyed with two things:

First of all, I'm tired of getting the evil stare from four people that I have NEVER even talked to or even care about talking to. I have done absolutely nothing against them and I don't think I deserve to be looked at that way. They are mean and just plain out rude. I am older than them and they need to show some freaking respect for me and my friends. It's not my fault they don't like who we are or who my friend is dating. That is none of their darn business! They also need to stop with all of their lying to try to turn people against each other. Here is a little advice for a person I love to death and I consider such an amazing friend... If they are really your friends, they wouldn't be trying to hurt you or separate you from the one you love. The one you fought so hard to get back because you love her so much. If they continue to behave the way they have, all they will end up doing is destroying the one thing you fought for so long to get back. I don't like getting involved in other people's lives, but I feel like there are some friendships here that need to be reconsidered because they are just bringing you down and are not good influences in your life. All I ask is that you think about it.... Don't make any rash decisions though.

The second thing that's been bothering me is the fact that someone I care about is getting an attitude that I don't appreciate. I feel like said person is getting a bit of a big head and acting like they are better than everyone else. I don't know if said person is doing this consciously, but said person says things in a way that makes me feel stupid and just puts me down a bit. That person has also been acting rude at times, which I really don't see a reason why act in that way. I hope that person changes his/her attitude before it damages some friendships.

Lastly, I wanted to talk about the awesomely awesome book I'm reading!! :DDD It's called The Measure of Madness by Cheryl Paradis. If you guys want to learn more about it, check out my Rockin' Books page. I really recommend this book :)

Ellen + "Fifty Shades of Grey" = HILARIOUS!

Boy am I tired! I have no idea why considering I haven't done much today but I'm weird like that. I think I should've been born a bear or something so I could hibernate all winter long. Its not like I even like the cold anyways.... Wait.... Did I just compare myself to a bear?? Well that's not were I was going with this blog at ALL. Any who ha! I FINALLY finished watching "A Little Bit of Heaven" with Kary today. The end was so sad :'( but at the same time SO good! That is most definitely one of my favorite movies of all time now. I nearly cried! After watching the movie, Kary and I watched some YouTube videos, mostly Ellen, but also BonQuiQui at King Burger. We LOVE that video! It's just hilarious! Now going back to the Ellen thing, we made Shuffle watch all of the Gluteus Mikesimus videos. It was like torture to him >:D Muahahahaha! I also showed them both this very funny Ellen video I'm sure you guys will enjoy too. Check out Ellen reading "50 Shades of Grey"!

I also took my Spanish exam today and I'm pretty sure I did fairly well. I feel pretty confident about it but I'm not gonna get too cocky. There's also been a lot of drama at school and its kind of annoying how much some people lie and how incredibly rude they can be.... I have no clue who the heck they think they are. Like my momma says, "You aren't the last Coke in the desert." BOOM!

What You're NOT! (Source)

Oh before I leave, this is my Biology group's new member. She's a Hornworm we named La-a (like we say, the dash ain't silent!). She's part of a project we're doing in which we get to see her grow and metamorphose into a moth! Pretty cool, huh? I'll keep you guys updated on our little buddy here :)
