Random Friend Blogging

About a month ago I decided that I was going to post something every Friday because I really had nothing better to do. Right after making that decision I actually started to have stuff to do. "What?! You were being social? I don't believe you!" No! It's true. I had a birthday party to go to and then helped my friend make cookies and I can't remember what else but I really was being social. However, I don't think that will happen as much anymore so here I am blogging. Is it a Friday that I'm actually typing this? Maybe, maybe not.

Some of the posts might be rather short because I don't want to type five pages all the time and exciting stuff (that, my friends, is a word that will get your English teachers to yell at you whether you want them to or not) doesn't happen to me all the time. Whether you think it does or not it really doesn't. A lot of the posts might be about Kpop because the millions and millions of Kpop groups that are out there are ALL releasing new songs plus new groups are coming out. So if I have nothing better to talk about that will be what I talk about.

I have the best friend ever! Remember how I'm psychotic about having a pen name and not being able to figure it out before? Well my friend fixed it! Isn't that exciting! She is a super duperly smartical (I don't care if those aren't real words) person and you should go check out her blog. Yes, I have mentioned her before and said something along the lines of "really good at the whole blogging thing". Well it's true and when I asked her how she figured it out she said, "clicking around". Pretty awesome if I do say so myself. This means that I will actually respond when you comment! Isn't that exciting?! No? ...Well this is awkward.

I like scarves. They're really soft and warm and just really nice. Only problem is half the time I don't know what to wear it with. Unfortunate right? Yeah, I think so too.

So I was thinking that know that I don't have to put "Scooby" at the end of each post I should have some sign off thing (I guess its not really a sign off because I'm not signing off of anything but you get the point). I think I have one but I'm not really sure yet. I will stick with that one for now until I think of a better one. Might even have you vote. If you have any ideas you should let me know!

Have a fantabulous day and be sure to rub your face on a nice soft scarf.

P.S. I'm not really sure if this works as well anymore...

Belated Holiday

I'M ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh. You already knew that? Well congratulations smarty pants nobody cares. Just kidding, that was mean.

I realize I'm really late on talking about Valentines Day. I'm not even sure why I'm really posting about it. I don't have a boyfriend, never have. So why am I talking about it? Well I'm not actually going to talk about relationships and all that good stuff like most people do (you can relax now). Basically I'm just making a short little post to say I actually did "talk" about it.

I would like to say one thing though. If you are going to get mad at me because I missed the deadline think about this day. This is a normal day right? Right. This is a normal day where it isn't expected of you to do anything for your special loved one or somebody you care about or whatever. So just think of this day (and every other day that isn't Valentine's Day) as "A Normal Day Where I Can Be Even More Awesome Than Normal By Surprising Someone I Care About With Something Equally As Awesome To Show Them How Awesome I Think They Are." You can remember it as the longest holiday ever if you want. I'm not saying you have to do something on a normal day I'm just saying think about it. Why should we have a specific holiday for something we should be doing all the time? Doesn't make sense.

Sorry, started ranting. That was a lot longer than I thought it would be. So here is what I wanted to do. Below are two songs. I like them. They are cute and talk about love. If you don't like that don't watch/listen to them. It's as simple as that.

And now for our feature presentation:

There are many more but I will stick with just those two. If you really liked them you should go check out more of their songs and tell them I sent you! You don't really have to do that if you don't want to.

Have a fantabulous day and eat lots of food because food is good for you!

Broken Computer Update

I hope this is who actually fixed it

So I got a question about what happened to the computer I talked about in this post. Since I haven't had time to figure out a way to fix my "don't want to publish my name to the world psychoticness" (sorry about that, I have a few ideas but I don't know if they will actually work or not) I thought I would just answer it here. For everyone that doesn't care to read too. Your welcome.

I honestly have no idea what happened to the computer it was probably just glitching or something because from what I can tell it seems perfectly fine now. The computer is fixed! Hurray!

Also I was really surprised that someone actually replied to that post AND asked a question. So thank you for that wonderful surprise.

Orthodontist

I hate the orthodontist. Now I know what you're thinking. "They aren't that bad." "It's their job! Give them a break!" "They give you a perfect smile which is both good looking and good for you." "Hate is a very strong word." Yeah well I have had to deal with them for nine years of my life. Did you read that right? Nine!!!! That's half my life.

For the past seven years I was nice to them. Okay not really but I put up with them and tried really hard not to hate them. This last year I gave up. I decided that it's too much effort to show that I don't actually hate them. Part of the reason I hate them is I have had braces for five or six (not really sure) of those nine years. Yeah. I'm a little annoyed.

One appointment was particularly strange because I was happy and then I was extremely annoyed because they told me I was going to get braces for the third time. Well before that I was trying not to laugh as they worked on my teeth because I thought of this video. Specifically the part about a fire because I could see and smell smoke as they scraped glue off of my teeth.

I have had pretty much everything you can think of. I had a retainer to make my mouth bigger because I had a small mouth (so if anybody says I have a big mouth I can blame my orthodontist which is nice). I had springs in my mouth that I would play with and sometimes they would get stuck so I couldn't close my mouth (that was really awkward in school because suddenly my mouth would be open longer than normal and I would be freaking out trying to fix the stupid spring). I have had so many canker sores that stuff that my be extremely painful for somebody else is normal  for me and doesn't bother me (one time the orthodontist said to use wax to fix it and I didn't understand why).

My third time having braces was probably the worst because it was in the very back of my mouth. The very back. The tooth that's farthest back in your upper mouth. Yeah. I had braces there which was the cause of bleeding and many canker sores back there (the bleeding was mainly because there was three centimeters of wire sticking into my cheek).

Before my third time I had full braces and then almost a year or two with a retainer. I got one of the invisalign retainers. When I got my third braces they took my retainer and cut it in half so I could still wear it at night.

I got a new retainer after the third time. I hate how they make the mold for them though. Using this gross pink goey stuff and put it in your mouth and then hold it there for at least a minute. Gross. Plus I have a huge gag reflex so half the time I'm gagging and can't breathe and they think I'm going to throw up, which I'm not I just can't breathe. So I'm gagging and can't breathe and they bring a trash can and I'm just thinking "That's not the problem! I can't breathe and a trash can isn't going to help me breathe."

Anyway after they give me my new retainer the lady tells me about cleaning it. I heard this when I got my first one but I didn't pay much attention to it. Then she asked me if I brushed my old retainer two times a day. I stared at her for a while and then just said no. Another lady in the background started laughing when she heard that and I don't know why. No, I'm sorry I'm not going to thoroughly clean my retainer twice a day I really don't care if it gets cloudy. I'm going to be wearing it at night so nobody is going to see if its cloudy unless I show them or they stare at my mouth while I sleep. Apparently I'm also supposed to clean it everyday in Efferdent or something like that but I'll probably do that once a month if I remember which I don't think I will.

That's my orthodontist experience I've also had one of the orthodontist say that I'm not as cool as another patient (it was a guy teasing the lady who was working on me that his patient was cooler than me so I guess it's not that mean but the lady didn't really defend me...). Maybe that helps you understand why I really don't like them.

Christmas Break

Oh dear. Once again I have neglected this blog. To be honest before Christmas break I had this plan to blog everyday even if the posts were only a couple of sentences or a funny quote I found. Then Christmas break arrived and I didn't want to do anything. For a while the morning consisted of video games (Super Paper Mario for the Wii to be precise) and the afternoon consisted of sitting in front of my computer and watching videos while I made bracelets for my friends. A majority of the time I wasn't sure what to watch and would sit in front of the computer and thing "Bored!" and then watch more videos. The main problem was that I really needed to read the forty pages of reading I was supposed to for AP Psychology. Don't worry I read it but most of it I read yesterday. In fact pretty much everything I should have done right away I did yesterday. Not the best planning right there but at least I had one really productive day.

Well I hope you had a fantastic Christmas and New Year. My was relaxing and just good until I got to the point of "I really need to do something productive but I really don't want to." I hope school goes well for those of us in school and work goes well for those that are working.

My first day of school was so slow. My schedule was: off, math, off, economics, off, psych. So I had multiple breaks which was probably good for my sanity but I didn't have anything to do which made it extremely slow. I have a quiz tomorrow which I'm kinda bummed about but I'm not too worried about it.

Sorry if this is a really random post. I'm waiting for the parking lot to be less crowded so I can leave. I refuse to leave when everybody else does because there is a very good chance that I will get hit and I don't really want to get hit. So I'm waiting and that is why this post is really random. My bad.

Well anyway I think I can leave now so have a great rest of your day!

Christmas Colors

Red and green are Christmas colors. When I see them together I automatically think "Christmas! Yeah!" It's just the way it is. Red and green are Christmas colors. Not purple or blue or macaroni yellow. But why not? Well that's the thought I had so I thought I would google it and save you the trouble looking for the answer.

So one website says there are two reasons for these two colors being the official Christmas colors. 

1. Green was seen as the symbol of life before Jesus was born. They would cut down trees and put them in their house during winter to symbolize that they are still alive despite the harsh weather (Christmas tree history right there too...your welcome). The Romans would hang up holly wreaths during a festival called natalis solis invicti (“birth of the invincible sun") in order to welcome back the sun and warm weather. They celebrated these holidays on December 25th. There are also other pagan holidays that contributed to the colors but there isn't much more information about them.  
2. Many of the traditions previously mentioned occur after the death of Jesus too. They are amplified when the green color is seen more as eternal life. Red was also added more with red berries and apples to symbolize the blood Jesus shed.

That's all I really want to share and is the majority of what I found. If you want more here (<-- click that word right there) is a website that you can hear more details that I got bored with because my music is distracting me from focusing on it. 
 
Well I hope you enjoyed that short little background on the colors of Christmas. I don't know about you but it makes me feel better knowing that there is an actual reason red and green are the colors and not just some random colors people decided looked cool together.

Facebook Poke

Ever been poked? Ever been poked repeatedly? It's annoying, right? Well today I would like to raise your awareness to a terrible epidemic that is sweeping the nation, the Facebook poke. Scientists are now calling this Mustpokealldaylongitus. What never heard of it? Don't worry. You're not alone. This disease is fairly new and most of the world doesn't know about. That's why I'm here, to tell you what it is, how to recognize it, and how to cure it.



What is Mustpokealldaylongitus?
Mustpokealldaylongitus is a day that causes people to need to poke others all day long. Even if they aren't around people they will find a way to poke their friends. Facebook has helped many of these people by having a "poke" button so that the people are poking others without the physical contact.

Symptoms:
The symptoms of Mustpokealldaylongitus varies for every person. However if you recognize somebody you know displaying these three symptoms take them to a Stoppokingallday doctor immediately.

1. Continually tapping finger on a surface. If somebody displays this symptom it probably means they don't have anybody to poke at the moment. Because they can't poke anybody they begin to poke the table. Most the time this symptom isn't even noticed by the person doing the poking.
2. Typing random letters into the keyboard because they are bored and don't want to do homework (this may also be a sign of procrastination if it is contact your Doitnow doctor immediately). If you receive a message of random letters while texting or messaging a friend they probably had the urge to poke something but could only poke you (example: eoiurkdnvdm;audfienkmxcnx,mncvwoeiu). How can you be sure this is the case? If you ask them what that was and they respond "idk i was bored" they probably have Mustpokealldayitus.
3. If your friend goes up to you or a stranger pokes you in the arm and then says "Poooooooooke!" they have Mustpokealldaylongitus and you need to take them to a Stoppokingallday doctor immediately! 

Why does Mustpokealldaylongitus need to be cured? It seems like a rather stupid to be an actual disease.

What's this? You doubt that Mustpokealldaylongitus is an actual disease and needs to be treated?! That is one of the main reasons Mustpokealldaylongitus must be cured! Because people think it isn't an actual disease it is spreading faster and faster throughout the nation.

Remember when you were a kid and you would play the "I'm not touching you! I'm not touching you!" game? Well that was the beginning of this game. Our ancestors had Mustpokealldaylongitus and never even knew it! This disease is very smart and has evolved so much that it can even spread through the internet! 

Not to mention it's annoying.

How do people get this disease? Here are the top 4 reasons:

1. Being bored. When people are bored they need something to do and what better than a poke war on Facebook?
2. Feeling lonely. When people are lonely they see the poke button as a way to say "Hey! Pay attention to me!"
3. Flirtation. When a teen likes another teen that teen is more likely to poke that other teen in order to get their attention and give an excuse to start a conversation.
4. Missing their childhood. When one misses their childhood they want to do something they used to do during their childhood without other people knowing it. By poking somebody through Facebook they are saying "I'm not touching you!" with their hand in your face.

How do we cure Mustpokealldaylongitus?

1. Find somebody with Mustpokealldaylongitus and tape their fingers together. If they don't have on finger alone they can't officially poke you in the correct manner. However make sure they don't have any pencils, sticks, pens, or anything of that sort because they can use that poke with.
2. Never ever start a poke war on Facebook. Once you do you can't stop and the only way to stop is to see a Stoppokingalldaylong doctor.
3. When sitting somewhere make sure to glue or tape a victims hand to the table so that they can't continually poke the table. 
4. Whenever you see somebody do any form of poking (i.e. tapping their finger against their forehead, tapping a pencil on the table, etc.) make sure you force them to stop immediately. 

Because this disease is relatively new I ask to spread the news about Mustpokealldaylongitus to all your friends so that one day this disease will be gone for good. Thank you.

Mustpokealldaylongitus is not an actual disease. If you believed this post you need to get your brain checked because you are very gullable. Just kidding. This is real. Symptoms include poking a hole through their own head, poking a hole through a table. If you see somebody in danger of this disease contact the Stoppoking Hotline at 333-333-POKE.
