National Wear-No-Shoes Day

Hello to all of those lovely people in my life!!!
Today is national wear no shoes day.
Why?
Because I say so.
So, take your shoes off.
Do it.
Right.
Now.
Yeah... it started in Mythology when we had to take off our shoes for Yoga, but I just never put them back on.
It's really fun.
Although you do have to walk around with your shoes all day long.
Hahaha... it's awesome.
Guess what?!?
It's Pacman's 30th birthday!!!
Go to Google. Right now. It has to be today.
You can play Pacman.
It's basically amazing.
We're in Computer Tech right now, surfing Grooveshark and blogging.
A.K.A. Hans Zimmer and John Powell. MY HEROS!!!
Right now I'm listening to everything Hans Zimmer put into Madagascar 2 and Pirates and The Italian Job... remember that one?
And looking up 101 things to do when you're bored in class.
Yeah, we're doing a lot of them right now.
Way fun.
My favorite one is to pretend that my scar is hurting.
"Ouch! Oooooooouch! Not Voldemort!!!" (spoken in a British accent)
I must go now.
I have to study for an Espanol test next period.
Emm3a says hi.
Farewell!
Love to you all!
The Quote of Today isn't funny.
Hasta luego!

Quote of Today: The only thing children wear out faster than shoes is parents.

INSANITY

I'll tell you one thing that's insane.

This is my 100th post on this blog!

Congratulations! You are reading something over spectacularly spledidlyumpciously amazing!

You just don't know it yet.

Hahaha... I am watching Enchanted right now.

"I want to go on a date."

"A date! ... what's a date?"

Hahahahaha... and now they're singing.

"I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss!"

Ahhhhh!!! Love this movie!

Okay. Sorry. Got a little off-topic there.

Guess what?

Today we cleaned out and turned in our lockers! We took all of our stuff home!

The only problem is... where do I put all of it?

All of you fellow AP Huggers: bonfire, my backyard, 7 o' clock, on Tuesday. Refreshments will be served.

Hahaha... we had way too much fun in that class.

We call it AP Hug class, but it's really AP Human Geography.

I wish it was AP Hug class. I wouldv'e gotten 1000000000000000000000% in that class every term and a perfect score on the final!

Psh. I wish. Psh.

Yeah, right.

New music! Check it out!

My current favorite song in the entire world is Only Hope from A Walk to Remember. I've kinda sorta been in the rainy mood and this song fits in perfectly.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Mandy Moore either. But I am absolutely in love with this song!

Okay, check it out.

I did this in Seminary today before we got all serious and bore our testimonies of our experience in Seminary this year (which was way neat, by the way. Even a few guys shed some tears).

You read it left to right, and down. Just like you would read any normal blog post of mine.

Reading it out loud is even better (to somebody is the best- especially if they don't know what you're reading!).

You can read it sentence by sentence, like you really want to, later.

Just not yet.

Ready?

Yay!

Wasn't that fun?

You now have my permission to go back and read the individual sentences like you are dying to.

Unless, of course, you already did.

In which case, you are a terrible person who deserves to be dismembered, struck by lightning, shriveled up and burned, after which buried in an unmarked grave underneath a million miles of ocean with nothing but the flesh-eating sharks to keep you company.

I told you not to do that.

You should totally try one of those. It's way fun.

Anyways, on to the actual post.

Remember the title?

INSANITY?

Quick intro...

Brandi.

She's way cool.

Like, unbelievably cool.

So, we were comparing planners (both were pretty amazing) and I saw on her planner that every single day starts with "INSANITY."

Apparently, this is a workout program or something.

However, my mind interpretted this a little bit differently.

Because, those of you who know me well, know that in my mind, everything sounds like a challenge.

Things such as "Lizzie, would you ever jump off this roof?"

Or, "Lizzie, don't go off that cliff!"

Or, "this year, Lizzie, no painful April Fools jokes. Or jokes that call police officers down here."

Or, "DON'T JUMP OFF THIS SKI LIFT!"

Hahahahaha... good times...

One of these days I am going to be seriously hurt.

So, anyways, I challenge you to a little something this Summer that I like to call INSANITY.

Every single day, you must find something absolutely, positively INSANE to do.

Like, mylifeisaverage.com worthy. That insane.

Have you ever been there, by the way?

I've written one or two submissions.

So be INSANE with me.

I triple dog dare ya.

Something like conducting an egg drop.

Something like this (well, what happened before this)...

Dancing in the rain and searching for rainbows!

By the way, this is on my new bed!!!

I love this bed!

Look, it has those bump things that you can push in! That's seriously what I do all night long until I fall asleep...

Gosh, I have amazing friends. That was the famous Jess, y'all!

LOVE HER!!!

Okay? Are you with me? INSANITY?

Cross your heart.

CROSS IT!!!

There. You see? You crossed it.

Now there's no backing out.

I'll be posting about my INSANITY as often as I can. Now it's up to you to a) do it, and b) tell me about it. Most amazing INSANITY idea gets... a prize. Yeah. An amazing one. An INSANELY AMAZING one.

Prizes will vary; depends on the person.

For instance, Katie would probably want something different than Mom would want (yeah, Mom. This applies to you, too. Although I will admit that it would be INSANE if you just did one insane thing. LOVE YOU!!!)

Come on. I know there's a lot of you that read this junk.

This message is for you.

Even if it's something your entire YW is doing.

Even if it's natural for other people, but INSANE for you.

Even if it's just saying something funny that is just absolutely INSANE.

Okay?

Even just one flippin' day!!!

Report back to me when accomplished.

Note: If you want the prize, you must tell me that you have accepted my challenge. Pictures of the insane event counts for bonus points.

Glad we all see eye to eye on this now.

Happy last week of school, everybody!

I'll keep you posted!

Farewell!

I LOVE YOU ALL!

No, seriously. If you take the time to read this, I must really, really love you.

With.

All.

Of.

My.

HEART!!!

LOVE YOU!!!

Hasta luego; speaking of which, I gotta go study for a test in Espanol.

Hasta luego!

The Quote of Today is something that Albert Einstein said! Besides "Wahoo!"

Quote of Today: Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Dad's Egg

Parachute?
Or rock?
Take your vote... and then click to find out now...

Quote of Today: Although I cannot lay an egg, I am a very good judge of omelets.

Mom's Egg

Hahaha... this one was awesome.

See? Even the birds nearby were excited!

Quote of Today: The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not smashing it.

Matthew's Egg

Matthew's... ummmm... rocket? Yeah...

I guess we kinda sorta go on forever at the end... sorry...

Quote of Today: Noise proves nothing. Often a hen who has merely laid an egg cackles as if she laid an asteroid.

Esther's Egg

Yo.
Sick of eggs yet?
Well, too bad.
We've still got at least 3 more.
Here's Esther's.

Ahhhhhhhhh!!!


Quote of Today: When arguing with a stone, the egg is always wrong.

My Egg

Why, hello!
Fancy meeting you here!
Come here often?
Hahahaha I know you do. This is your favorite place to be!
I mean, when people turn on their computers every day, they say, "I wonder if Lizzie has posted today. Do you think she has? Oh, boy! This is my lucky day! Now I will sit at this hard little chair..." (now you are very self-conscious of how hard the chair is. Ha! I seeeeeeeee youuuuuuuuuu!) "...and read her post until I fall asleep!"
Well, you will no longer sleep.
For my next act, I will wake you up.
You will sit on the edge of your seat in anticipation for the end.
Presenting... my egg drop!
From the roof!
Where I dropped it from!
Watch and enjoy!

Stay tuned for Esther's egg!


Quote of Today: A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.

Eggs

Yo.

So, Esther's 3rd grade class at her school is doing somewhat of an "egg drop" thing today. And our whole family helped contribute the idea.

On family night this week, we got out all of the supplies at our house to protect these eggs.
Milk cartons.

Cotton balls.

Toilet paper rolls.

Boxes.

Balloons.

Tape. Lots and lots of tape.

And eggs, of course.

Here's our egg contraptions!

Dad...

Matthew...

Mom...

Esther...

Me!

Mine was the best. I named it the Cloud Nine.

Okay. I'm uploading the videos of how each egg drop turned out next. Say tuned!

Quote of Today: You may have a heart of gold, but so does a hard-boiled egg.

Friday. Is. OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Ohmygosh yesterday mustv'e been the most stressful day of my life.
Like, no joke.
Do you ever have those days?
Okay, for one thing, there was the AP test.
Remember my post about that one?
Yeah... um... yeah.
Enough said.
Well, while that was going on, there was a ten page, 1000 point packet due in Geometry (there's no exaggeration here- it's on Carillo's board in big letters- "Packet due on Friday- 1000 POINTS!!!"
It really is.
Yeah, it's basically insane.
Then there was the 14 consecutive lines from Romeo and Juliet that we had to memorize and recite in front of the class.
That was also basically insane.
And CRTs in Bio, and, and, and, and...
It was an extremely stressful day.
And then, to top it off, I finally heard back from Maeser.
They accepted me.
And guess when they needed to know my answer by?
Yup.
Friday.
Ugh.
By the way, Maeser is a school. Maeser Prep Academy.
Sorry, you're probably pretty lost right about now...
Anyways!
Well, let's see...
Since I didn't have the packet done, I talked to Carillo and he gave me a grace period for being absent.
Since I didn't have the lines memorized for English, I asked Mom to check me out of third period as a... AP-overness-celebration.
Since I wasn't ready for the AP test, I took it anyways.
So all turned out okay, I guess. It was just the pre-test anxiety that was the worst.
The test actually turned out to be a whole heck of a lot easier than I thought it would be.
Still hard.
Still failed.
But easier than the practice tests, that's for sure.
Okay, so when we got there (7:30 AM for breakfast), everybody was wearing jammies. JAMMIES!!! How on EARTH could I miss this memo?!?
However, I was wearing my happy pants, so it worked out okay.
We had grapes, muffins, OJ (haha! Get it? OJ?) and chocolate milk.
I had the grapes. Didn't want to trip over wheat in the middle of a college exam, did I?
And then.
They.
Opened.
The.
Doors.
Dun, dun, DUUUUUUUUUN!!!
OHMYGOSH!!! I totally forgot about that! Remind me that I need to tell you guys about the most amazing PowerPoint in the entire flipping WORLD later on, okay?
Okay.
Anyways...
They.
Opened.
The.
Doors.
Dun, dun, DUUUUUUUUUN!!!
They had us leave our jackets outside. Apparently that's a rule.
Then we got inside and they proceeded to scare the brains out of us.
For instance: "DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, DISCUSS ANY OF THE MATERIAL ON THIS TEST OR YOUR SCORE WILL BE DESTROYED!!!"
Or: "DO NOT TALK. YOUR TEST WILL BE RIPPED UP."
Or: "IF YOU LOOK ANYWHERE BESIDES YOUR TEST, YOU WILL LOSE THE RIGHT TO ANY AP CREDIT."
They were scary.
Then we tested.
For three hours.
Yeah...
But I was by Addy, so it was okay. :)
Well, when that was all over, first lunch was all over, so we all got a half hour of lunch. I texted Mom and as I was waiting for her, I hung out with Logan and Cameron. Cameron was waiting for his mom, and Logan was being a sluffer.
Okay, I take it back.
He was begging his mom to check him out too, but got no results. :P
Mom took me to Zupa's.
Best.
Restaurant.
EVER.
Like, no joke. Get the chicken enchilada soup and (call me crazy- go on, say it. It's not like I haven't heard it before) the Hawaiin grill sandwich. No idea what it's really called. It's likesmoked chicken with grilled pineapple on toasted white sourdough bread... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!
Can someone say heaven?!?
And then the million dollar bar and the... ummm... shoot. I can't believe I just spaced out on this one.
This will probably be one of those things that I remember at 2 in the morning and then go "Oh yeah! Now why did I have to remember that again?"
I hate those things.
Like in football.
Like the running receiver or something like that.
Did I get it right, Katie?
Now this is going to be that 2 in the morning moment.
Ugh.
Well, yeah.
Next time you go to Zupa's, get that.
And take me with you.
I'll love you forever and ever and ever!!! Just take me to Zupa's when you go!!!
Well, so, I sluffed 3rd period to go to Zupa's (go there!) with my Mommy.
Then I went to Bio to take that test.
Mr. Woolley is seriously the best teacher on the planet Earth.
You know that PowerPoint I needed to tell you about (thanks for reminding me...)? Well, there's another best PowerPoint in the entire flipping WORLD and Katie made it. Yeah, it's about Mr. Woolley's class. Yeah, it's basically awesome.
Speaking of PowerPoints, did I tell you that I'm in Computer Tech right now?
'Cuz I am.
With Katie.
:)
We're looking up pictures of cupcakes right now.
:)
You should try it sometime.
Some of them are way cool.
So far, my favorite is the Mario ones.
Scratch that; the Elmo ones.
Nope- now it's the... wait a minute...
OH MY GOSH IT CAN'T BE!!!
iPOD APP CUPCAKES!!!
No.
Way.
So.
Cool.
Yummmmmmmm!!!
Let's see... that's basically it.
Then Jessi came over and we danced in the POURING rain!!! We searched for the end of the rainbow, but we got as far as Amber's house before we realized that maybe we should have packed a few week's worth of food if we really wanted to find that gold.
Pictures soon to come.
As soon as I get out of school and get the pictures from my laptop.
They're basically amazing.
Then we went chocolate shopping... with Riesons (LOVE THOSE THINGS!!!), Licorice, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and Symphony bars.
Yuuuuuuuuuuuuum!!!
We also picked up a few pizzas.
We wanted to stop by the school with eggs so we could egg the people that actually went to the ninth grade dance, but my Dad said no. "But please?" we said. "You won't even have to stop the car!"
But he didn't want to put a damper on their happy, romantic spirits.
Aren't we, like, fourteen here?
What's romance again?
And didn't the rain already do that?
We settled for our chocolate and The Italian Job instead.
Have you ever seen that movie?
Like, flippin' BEST MOVIE EVER!!!
Well.
In my top 489 or so.
Best still amazing.
My dream car!!!
Are you a Left Ear person or a Handsome Rob person?
Or a CHARLIE person!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Can you tell which I am?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...
Just kidding.
I'm a Wrench person.
Can someone say HOT?!?

"I'm Wrench. What's your name, baby?"
"Ham and cheese."
"Oh, that's cold. Dang that's cold."

This is where I come in.

"I'm Lizzie."
"Woah. Do you, like, wanna see what I'm doing right now?"
"YES!!!"

I'd take him any day over ham and cheese.
Actually, that's not saying much. I'd take Obama over ham and cheese.
I hate ham and cheese.
Yuck.
Blech.
Ew.
Yuck.
Vomit.
Recover and vomit again.
Ew.
So... yeah!!!
Happiness!!!
Ugh Computer Tech is sooooooooooooooooo boring today.
Ugh.
Ugh.
Ugh.
And now I'm just randomly going off about nothing.
Katie's drawing a picture of flowers and grass and a sun that has swirly things around it.
Darn. She didn't like it.
She erased it and made it completely white.

OHMYGOSH I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO TELL YOU!!!
Katie's making a Cinderella dress now.
It's lovely.
But that's not what I was going to tell you!!!
What I was going to tell you is...
I'M NOT GOING TO AF NEXT YEAR!!!
Nope.
Not me.
I'm going to a nerd school.
A charter school, to be exact.
You know, with uniforms and everything?
Yeah, that's where I'm going.
It's called Maeser Preparatory Academy and I'm going there so I can take an AP class with all Seniors. No exaggeration. Just me (sophomore) and a bunch of Seniors.
Humph.
Maybe they're cute.
But not as cute as WRENCH!!!
Can someone say BABE?!?
*Sigh.*
Wrench.
*Sigh.*
Gotta run; I have Espanol next.
With Smith.
I love Smith.
He's awesome.
We learn, like, nothing in that class.
It's just him lecturing us on how bad the TV stars in the show we watch for class are. They really are terrible.
Then he gets all worked up over how bad the actors flirt.
Then he lectures us on flirting.
Then he dances.
Then he steals somebody's phone and texts all their friends.
Then he gets all worked up about germs... again.
Then he teaches us something for the last ten minutes of class.
Hahahahahahaha... okay.
Hasta luego!

Quote of Today: Be optimistic. All the people you hate are eventually going to DIE!
:)

Sick

Yo.
Honestly, I can never understand why people would try and fake being sick.
Why do they do it?
To get out of schoolwork? It takes forever to make up all of the schoolwork from just one day.
To get out of having to sit through classes? Let's see... stay in bed pretending to sleep all day... or go to school where one or two friends are.
But I don't know why I'm complaining about fakers.
Because it's ten times worse to actually be sick.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh!!!
I hate being siiiiiiiiiiiiick!
You know that on Bryan Regan?
The one that everybody talks about?
He's a comedian, apparently...
Well, I finally listened to all of those people who told me to watch him (actually, more like kicked off the phone and told not to call back until I had watched him).
I did it.
I watched it.
And in the ER one, he describes me perfectly.
"Everything on the inside of me wants to be on the outside of me!"
Or something like that.
Ugh.
I hate being sick!!!

Anyways...
School's out in three weeks or so. Esther has a countdown going.
AP test on Friday.
Yeah, I've already accepted the fact that I failed.
I'm strangely alright with it.
It's kinda weird not crying over it and everything.
Nope.
Not for me.
I fail.
Not like it's a surprise or anything.
Life will go on.
I hope...

Okay, so I was watching Night at the Museum 2: Battle at the Smithsonian on Saturday with the fam and I noticed something terrible!!!
Have you ever seen that show?
You know the music?
Well, look it up!
It's all a fake!
We were totally going through the whole movie going, "That's from Pirates!" and "National Treasure!"
I dare you to look it up because it's all copied from other movies.
It's awful!
Although I will admit that it didn't stop me from buying one or two... bought one of them Saturday night and I've listened to it 1,508 times since!
Hahahahahahahahahahaha...
My top listened to songs...
-Lollipop by Sophie Green (2,394 times)
