So yay, yesterday I went out to eat for cinco de mayo. It was yum and I ordered a quesadilla cos they are amazing. Obviously. I really wanted to go rent Hercules because for some reason I couldn't get the song "The Gospel Truth" out of my head all day and just went around saying "and that's the gospel truth." Anyways, so when we went to the movie store it was out! Very tragic. you may be questioning as to why i don't own it already, and that answer to that is: i don't know. So then I decided to get The Black Cauldron because I haven't seen it in so long. Actually, I think the last time might have been in italy, which, pretty much guarantees that I have NO idea of what it's about. Although I do remember a pig and some evil things. Or maybe thats just random speculation. I didn't get to watch it yet since I fell asleep when I got back. I did some video recordings of people playing music and will probably make a montage later but I won't be releasing it to the public. Oh, yeah, and then I found out there was a Mulan II! Who knew? I'll have to see that later, but now I really want to see Dream Girls. I had advanced screening passes for that but I never went. :(
Anyway, for school our English HP teacher is following us to English AP. Naturally you get the hardest teacher twice in a row. He's Mr. Feeny'ing us like in Boy meets World. We should be scared.

Why is it people insist on calling adults "grown-ups"? I don't mind at all but I mean really, then are we "grow-downs" or "young-downs" or "slow-downs" or we should be called "young-downers" and they can be called "grow-uppers" Alright. Never mind.
In addition to the lovely world of ladies, I am posting the essential:

Essential 5 Things You Need If You're Friend Is PMSing Kit:
1.) Massive Boxes of Chocolate
2.) A mug of hot choccy
3.) A weepy film
4.) A soft, fluffy blanket

These are sure to cheer up any friend on the downs. For sure! Although in my case its more of a comedy that makes me cry.

you know everyone makes the same old same old, amazing, sensitive, hippy acrostic, so i thought this would be more creative. Just wish the people who were judging poetic skills understood that concept, but alas, we are at a loss of originality in this world, after all, everything you can possibly think of has already been thought twice over, which is weird considering what goes on in my mind. Has ANYONE else seen that purple dinosaur floating around with balloons on the bus in fourth grade yet??
Prime example, band name: Cadenas de Seda. Spent time coming up with a title in english. How bout chains? of what? silk sounds gnar, lets use that. Oh, hey lets look it up. chains- cadenas, you sure? whatever, silk? sedas? possibly. ok, fine. cadenas de seda.
oh, few months later, "WE ARE NOW OPENING A NEW EXHIBIT CALLED CADENAS DE SEDA." naturally. besides there is symbolism in there not that anyone could guess it. unless, well, you'd have to not be in where I am now. and then, well, its possible if you were, well thats all.
Lovely Quotes:
"The worst tragedy for a poet is to be admired through being misunderstood."
"Romanticism has never been properly judged. Who was there to judge it? The critics!"
"Love makes the wildest spirit tame, and the tamest spirit wild."
I am going to go to my friend G'Brella's house at 3:30 and I still have yet to get ready but it's only ten so i suppose i could wait an hour. Although, hanger on, I'm getting my food NOW.
Ugh, all I have left are Chocolate Rice Krispies. I don't like anything chocolate really. Except for reese's peanut butter cups and thats because i love peanut butter. and sometimes i even microwave them to melt all the chocolate off. It's really easy to peel off if you do it right! Interestingly enough I have not been able to develop that strange fear of "peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth" sydrome. and i have enough strange phobias. You would think, that after asking someone politely to NOT TOUCH your cereal they wouldn't. Actually the exact words of the culprit were, "I won't eat a lot, there's a lot in there!" He must've eaten a hell of a lot. Right, and I've barely enough for one bowl and I eat about three. Sometimes. I know, thank you.
Since this is pretty accesible for later I think I'll right down some useful information for later:
Stress pimple-izes you and causes dry patches. So be happy and hang out with people you like. Leaving you with a gorge glow.
(Maybe I'm misinterpreting that? )
Lemon toner - Squeeze the juice out of a lemon and sweep it over your T-zone using a cotton wool pad. Leave it to dry and then rinse it off. The natural acids from the lemon (won't burn your face off but) remove oil and dissolve dead skin cells. Leaving you with a gorgeous glow.
wow, lots of gorgeous glows going on there.
Whizz up five large strawberries and a cup of orange juice in a blender for a delicious fruity treat for you and your complexion.
Ice is a good way to get rid of zits. Hold it to your worry spot and eventually it will go away.
Six glasses of water a day, leaves you with a gorgeous glow due to toxins being flushed out of your body.
Yoghurt Mask:
Soothe sun-frazzled skin with this easy to whip up DIY mask.
Mix 1/2 a small tup of natural yoghurt with two tablespoons of finely chopped cucumber (take the skin off first!) Then smooth onto clean skin and chill out for ten minutes before wiping it off with a tissue and rinsing clean. (they also said Mmm! but that didn't sound too Mmm! so I neglected it.)
Another way to get glowing skin: Upping the amount of exercise you do. Jumping, dancing, oxygen helps!
Here's an explanation of why guys play video games:
1.) It sharpens skills vital to real life, eg. hand-to-eye coordination, reflexes, alien-slaughtering.
2.) It's great for fitness, providing excellent workout and toning for those all-important thumb muscles.
3.) Playing tomb raider is the one time in a boy's life when he can control a girl's behaviour.
4.) Playing video games has fewer health risks than other hobbies like reading (paper cuts), playing music (deafness) or chess (getting beat up for being a chess player.)
5.) And it provides escapism from stressful tasks they don't want to do, eg. homework, washing, cooking, and actually leaving the bedroom.
and there you are, all sorted.
The Steam Machine:
Fab Facial Sauna
Ingredients:
Freshly Boiled Water
Two tea herbal tea bags (chamomile for dry skin, peppermint for oily skin)
A towel to place over your head
1.) Pour 500mL of boiled water into a heatproof bowl (a pyrex one's perfect), add the tea bags and stir carefully.
2.) Pop a towel over your head and hold it over the bowl (at least 30cm above) to start your steamin'.
3.) After no more than five minutes, rinse your face with cold water and pat your skin dry. Now go party.
Why oh why do I do these things? I don't really know.
Daily life:
Photobooth compilation of pictures of me. Yay!:
My hair WILL grow back, it WILL grow back. Oh whatever, I'll probably just go and cut it again. It works.
