Crime Shows

Crime shows are the best.

My favorites are Numb3rs, CSI: NY, Law and Order: SVU, and newly my favorite, The Mentalist.

I love how they can catch the person in like an hour.

Also the high tech equipment they use. They (the equipment and people) rock my world.

Sometimes when I am watching I think of how I'd try to not be found if I, say, (hypothetically) killed someone. Yeah that sounds super weird and creepy.* But like would I throw the gun in the middle of the river? Nope, divers always find it. Would I bury the body in the middle of the woods? Nope, that's what bloodhounds are for. Damn, those FBI agents/crime scene investigators/detectives/mentalists are good!

I love these shows also because no matter what crime they are investigating at the time they always somehow end up at a strip club :).

Shall I also say that Simon Baker is very charismatic?!?

Yeah, he's old(er), and he's the bad guy in the Devil Wears Prada but that's just because he got a crappy character to play. I mean, he's Australian!

So all in all, crime shows can't be beat (except for Desperate Housewives, my guilty pleasure!)

*Note: I absolutely DO NOT take this seriously. I am not a closet serial killer or enjoy murder! Really, please do not refer me to a counselor/the police.

Dreams

I'm the kind of person who can remember their dreams.

Sometimes I journal about them.

I fly frequently, but I haven't for a while. That saddens me.

I love the dreams when you're disappointed to wake up, because that means your life is great then.

I also love the dreams with celebrities. They are so funny.

Here's my favorite flying dream. I remember it quite vividly for it being dreamt a couple years ago:

I'm in a grassy field. The grass is a vivid green, and goes on for miles all around me. The sky is a pretty blue, with big fat puffy clouds floating in the sky. Randomly in the middle of this field are three "kingdoms" right next to each other, each roughly the size of a carnival. The one on the left is a rides kingdom, like Disneyworld, only the rides are packed together and randomly placed. The middle kingdom is like a massive dark brown wooden playground, only it is my castle. Only it is in the form of a playground :). The kingdom on the right is the Witch's kingdom. I can't remember it as vividly. Anyway, in this dream I can fly. I leap off of the grassy ground and soar! The Dumbo ride in the Left Kingdom is running (I think they all are) and I grab onto it and let go and soar, kind of like a slingshot. Somehow I end up in my castle. My mother is the queen of this kingdom, although she is not my mom in real life. I know I have to defeat the Witch; she is invading our kingdom. Then I wake up.

I swear, this is a true story/dream :) I know I'm wacked up. I love flying dreams.

I can remember a good number of the dreams I've had, some as far back as 6-7 years ago.

I'll post more later :)

Peyton

Dear Peyton,

I miss the way we used to be friends. We lived so close together, I would just walk over to your house in the summer and we'd hang out for most of the day, only going home for dinner.

I miss the way we'd play Nancy Drew computer games (I still do). How we'd grab each other and scream when there was a scary part. How we'd get so frustrated when we couldn't finish a puzzle, and then I finally found the message board online. When we solved our first Nancy Drew case out of your, like, 10 games, and were so proud of ourselves.

I miss the way we used to play kick ball with your brother in your backyard, with ghostrunners, and no matter what we did or despite there being 2 people on our team instead of one, your brother always won. I even miss the way you stomped up the stairs and told on your brother to your mom just because he won.

I miss the way we used to blast the Freaky Friday soundtrack in your room, use your brother's guitars and your empty microphone stand and pretend we were in a band. How we'd start jumping around until we got embarrassed because your brother and his cool friend walked in on us.

I miss the way we used to play dolls, with your awesome doll set and when you got the doll hotel for your birthday.

I miss the time when your brother tried to make us in a band, and he would play guitar, you would sing, and I would play the drums. Only he couldn't find any drumsticks. So instead he gave me 2 parts of a Hot Wheels racetrack to drum with.

I miss that one time your brother caught a frog in the middle of summer and he was positive it was pregnant, so he grabbed his tool kit and we inspected it in the kiddie table in our garage. Only later did he reply, "Oh. Its leg was torn." Poor frog.

I miss our trips to the mall, and when your mom gave you money, you would pick out one thing for each person in your family. The expression your mom had when you gave them their things was priceless. What's better is that it happened each time too.

I miss the way we would play in the summer until dark, riding our bikes over your brother's bike ramp, so proud of ourselves when we actually didn't fall. How we'd play soccer in the front yard, or crawl into the baby-blue Spitfire in your garage and pretend we were Stacey Hinkhouse from Freaky Friday and that we could actually drive.

I miss the jitters of starting middle school together. We would finally be at the same school. But then, like the classic friendship split up, we grew apart, and you sought out popularity when I was content. I miss the sporty girl with the cute little laugh, not the boy-crazy preppy do-to-impress girl you became.

I really can't say everything I miss about our friendship.

But most of all, I miss the person you used to be.

Love, Jinna

Homepage

Hey guys, I posted this on my other blog, but it was dee-LEEE-tid! So anywho:

You can usually set your homepage on your computer, just go to Preferences (on Macs) and I don't know what you do, PCs, so you guys are just going to have to wing it. Set your homepage to the Click to Give at the Animal Rescue Site:


Every time you log on, you can just *CLICK!* to give food to rescued animals! That is so amazing!

What's even more amazing:

Near the top of the page, they have tabs that say:
Hunger
Breast Cancer
Child Health
Literacy
Rainforest
Animal Rescue

Click any of those tabs, and you're transported to ANOTHER "Click to Give" page corresponding with the tab title!

I did this in study hall, and I just went through all of them and clicked as fast as I could for like 5 minutes. It was so fun.

DO THIS NOW AND SAVE THE WORLD!

Unrealistic Things in Movies

Here is the beginning of a list of Unrealistic Things in Movies:

1. Brushing your teeth, no matter how clean it makes them, is never sexy.
2. Almost NEVER in real life can a person come up with a perfect comeback.
3. I highly doubt that in King Henry the Womanizer's time they had hair straighteners.

Lemme know if you have any ideas to add to this one bullet list!

Inauguration

I have to be honest, if I was old enough to vote last November, I would've voted McCain.

I mean, I like Obama as a person. He seems like a dude with good intentions. But I don't agree with his policies.

But I have to say it'll be an exciting moment in history tomorrow at the inauguration. I'm excited to watch it!

And his family is so adorable. Michelle kicks ass, and his two little girls are so cute! Also they don't seem like the type to soak up the fame either.

Although really, is it that hard to pick a dog?

I mean who cares what breed it is? As long as it fits in the White House and it's potty trained, that's good enough for me.

Personally, I think they should get a dog that's about to be euthanized and SAVE IT.

Because he/she will be devoted to them for the rest of their lives.

I want to live in the White House.

Grr.

Heroin

Here's the song exclusively written by me:

Heroin

Chorus:
Heroin kills
Heroin kills
Heroin kills
So don't inject yourself
(repeat)

You think you scored big at some random party
But heroin kills so don't do it buddy
It flows through your body like spandex is tight (yeah!)
So we're gonna stand up and fight (it)

Chorus 6x

Okay, so maybe not the best song for the first post under songs. But oh well.

Kirspink

I'm in a band.

It's called Kirspink.

Well, Martha wanted to call it Kirkland Sport Drink, because of the bottle sitting on her piano, but that was copyrighted.

Hence Kirspink. I totally came up with that name and

It's genius. (Well technically we haven't all decided on it but I think it's great)

I'm co-manager, technical manager (since I'm the one with GarageBand), graphics designer, co-writer, and tambourinist.

Since I have no talent.

Right now our band consists of: guitarist, keyboard/pianist, and violinist.

And me.

Should be fun!

I'll post songs later.

Much love

Shakespeare

Like as the waves make towards the pibbled shore
So do our minutes hasten to their end
Each changing place with that which goes before
In sequent toil all forwards do contend

Gotta memorize this and 10 more lines by Tuesday. Great.

City

Sometimes I really hate living in/near the city.

Stupid snow plows.

I remember being a little girl, running up to the T.V. screen and watching anxiously if my school would be canceled. I mean at least give me a 2 hour delay.

Nope.

So here I was all excited that a million schools were starting late.

NOT MINE.

Ugh.

It is going to be -45º in the morning tomorrow.

DO NOT TELL ME THAT THAT DOES NOT COUNT TOWARDS A LATE START.

Seriously, if the weather reports are issuing a wind chill WARNING then school should really start late.

Nope.

AHHHHHHHHH.

Study Halling

Today I was study halling. Literally. In a 6 hour 40 minute school day I had 2 hours of study hall today. Holy crap.

Well, at least I got my homework done. Woot woot.

I am so sore from badminton. BADMINTON. Not to mention embarrassed because I can't even complete an underhand serve and get the birdie over the net. UGHH.

I hate Phy. Ed. With a passion.

Ooh, I just did a jasmine vanilla salt scrub on my arms, legs, and feet, and it was AMAZING! Now my legs are all soft :) haha.

That's it for today!

Much love
Angélique

Birthday

Today is my precious dog Princess' birthday.

She is 9 years old and very fat.

Let's sing Happy Birthday to her!

On three:

Happy birthday you fatty,
You look like a hamburger patty!
You're getting pretty old toooooooooo
So go easy on the treats!

I'm sorry if that was offensive. I'm just kidding :)

I have no problem with bigger people. They can't help it. My dog can. It is all my mom's fault. I told her that every treat she gives Princess she is taking off her life. Yep, I guess she doesn't care.

I need to work on rhyming though, for the next unit in English! It is

*drumroll*

Shakespeare!

I read Hamlet and Much Ado About Nothing last year. Hamlet was horrible. Much Ado wasn't that bad.

And now we have the honor of reading Romeo and Juliet!

Slay me.

Yes, I guess the language is beautiful and whatnot but everyone knows the story.

They fall in love at first sight, they die, throw in a lot of -eths and Thous, and you got yourself some Shakespeare!

Whoops, sorry if I ruined the story for you. Go rent Titanic. Great movie :)

So anywho, I have 2+ hours of study hall on A days. I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do with myself!

Probably some Facebooking, blogging, ANYTHING but homework.

Did I mention I got a CRAPLOAD of homework today? Oh. Well.

I GOT A CRAPLOAD OF HOMEWORK TODAY.

Eww.

Well that's my tragic life, folks, now I want to know how tragic your lives all are!

Much love
Angélique

Bienvenue!

I have grown to hate my blog.

It is not a good thing when you hate your blog.

So I am starting over.

What a fresh page.

Sorry for the minor inconvenience (or perhaps I didn't inconvenience anyone. Well, that's life).

New posts to come soon!

Au revoir,
Angélique

(Am considering a different name. Have grown tired of my frenchness.)

(Also am considering a second blog for the "deep stuff". I will post it if I decide to set it up)
