Things I've learned from/because of the Olympics, Part 3:

-There's more than one kind of snowboard. Like, they use different ones for the halfpipe, the slopestyle, and the downhill race thing. Who knew?

-Curling originated in Scotland (thanks to Caroline on Facebook for filling me in, and then they showed a History of Curling thing on TV like, three hours later.) The Scots were probably drunk at the time, but I have no proof of this.

-Yuzuru Hanyu won his gold medal in an outfit designed by Johnny Weir. :D




Answer to last Sunday's song: Online Songs, by Blink-182. No one guessed this.

Day 7: My pet hates. I'm assuming this means 'pet peeves' and not things I hate about pets.

I pet hate: the sound of people chewing, the misuse of 'your' and 'you're', people who don't use their blinkers, parents who let their children be obnoxious, and the stupid crap people post on Facebook, believing it's true, when a simple Google search would tell them otherwise.


Answer to last Monday's song: The Joker, by Steve Miller Band. Janeea and [livejournal.com profile] letsgokomets got this one right. :D
Facebook is freaking right the fuck out right now because the Patriots signed Tim Tebow. I have almost no idea who he is (a football player is all I can say for certain) or why this is such a big deal to everyone. Then again, you could fill a book with what I don't know about the current state of football. It's just hilarious to me that literally every other post on my FB wall right now is about this situation, and I seem to be the only person in my circle who doesn't care.


Answer to last Monday's song: Jurassic Park, by Weird Al. If you were in my head, you would know that I picked this song because it's a parody of MacArthur Park, which talks about cake, and last Monday's post was about Andrew's cake. But since no one else is in my head, no one guessed this song. :P
People, people of the world and people of Facebook, especially: I am only going to say this once, so sit up and pay attention. You may even want to take notes. Ready?

A super cold day (or week, or month, or even year) in a single place on the whole earth does not disprove global warming climate change. Seriously.



I mean, I know that you're joking. But there are far too many people that still don't believe in climate change, and you're not helping. And if you're not joking, then I sincerely hope that either you go and educate yourself immediately, or that a polar bear eats you.

So, this meme has been floating around Facebook lately, but I know that it's originally a Livejournal meme, so...


I will post quotes, and those who want to play should guess what movie they are from. For this set of quotes, they will all be Disney movies. And I'm not going to pick easy lines, either.
 

 

Ready? )

Remember my post the other day about weeping over the English language as a result of Flair?

I just searched for grammar flair, and it has cured me. Thank the lord for people who know good grammar, are witty, and have enough free time to make their frustrations into bitchy, clever, scathing, gramatically correct, properly spelled flair.

As Captain Barbosa once said, "Gents! Our hope is restored!"





My personal favorite? "rite 2 me liek dis, and I'll SHOOT YOU." 

Go look at them. They're hilarious. YAY FLAIR!

I just saw a flair of the line from Get Smart, "Holy shit, holy shit, the swordfish almost went through my head," with 'holy' spelled holly.

I understand typos, but since it was wrong both times, and wrong on more than one flair, it was clearly not a typo. It's a four letter word. It's a common word. How in the hell do you misspell holy?



I weep for the future of the English language.

Just in case anyone missed the official Facebook announcement (cause we all know nothing's official till it's on Facebook, *snort*) I am now dating one Andrew Collins.

If you don't go to Saint Mikes and/or you haven't heard me going on about him recently, you won't know who he is, but that's ok. He is awesome, he is a dork, he likes me, I like him, and that's all you really need to know.



So, that's all. I am going to do a post about my thoughts on Indiana Jones, but not right now. Right now I am going to go to bed. :)

There's a long story that explains how I came across this, but I don't feel like going into it right now. In any case, I saw a bumper sticker on Becky's Facebook that said, "You wanna know something sad? I know more about Harry Potter than American History."

And it's true.


Also, there was this exchange at Peter Pan rehearsal last night:
Emily: Welcome to Peter Pan. It's long... It's long, but it's fun,
Zach Pratt: That's what she said.

In... oh, about half an hour, I will be leaving on the band trip. I am so freaking excited, I can't even tell you. I love playing my clarinet, I love performing for people, I love traveling around with a group, my boyfriend is going, Nora is going, it's all wonderful.

Be ready to check Facebook for the photo documentation when we get back.



But I also have a Chem test on Monday, and it's really freaking me out cause I have zero time to study this weekend. Oh well, that's college.



See you Sunday!
1. I love and appreciate you all, and your help with my ambiguous sexuality.

2. "Bisexuality is the potential to feel sexually attracted to and to engage in sensual or sexual relationships with people of either sex. A bisexual person may not be equally attracted to both sexes, and the degree of attraction may vary over time."

That sounds about right. Now I'm going to be like Janeea and introduce myself to people with my name and my bisexuality.


Kidding. Totally kidding. Love you Neea!



P.S. But I am going to change my facebook. It's time.
Hey, so I can friend people on Facebook who're in high school now... This means:

GET A FACEBOOK YOU CRAZY HIGH SCHOOL KIDS!
Just a general announcement, because people keep asking me: I don't Myspace.

Yes I have an account. There are no pictures on it. My profile is virtully non-existant. I have it purely so that when my friends occasionally want me to look at a picture on there I can log in and do so. Livejournal is my crack of choice, and as far as I can tell all Mysace does is generate drama. I get enough of that with Livejournal. Plus I find Myspace too confusing to use.

In other news, please read the fic from my last post. I need some feedback.

LOVE YOU ALL!

P.S. I do Facebook, but everyone pretty much knows that already.
ST. MICHAEL'S IS ON FACEBOOK!

Which means that
1. I went and friended everyone I know.
2. I have yet another thing to distract me from my homework
3. Half our high school is on there! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

YAY FACEBOOK!
