If that makes any sense.
trust me. just click here, and vent your anger. to keep the game going longer... just don't blow up the trucks until you're done. :) the trucks blow up the whole place. but, i mean, i guess you can start a new game if you want... it's all good.
haha that's my favorite spot on Monopoly... that and Baltic Avenue. I mean, you pass go, you land on one of those, and you lose $2 or $4, depending on which one you land on. Quite hilarious.
It was a Kids Bop commercial. And I know they annoy me to death, so I'm pretty sure they annoy you too. So, if you're looking for a good laugh, watch this: Click. And if you haven't already, watch all of his videos. They are... FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC! (haha, Tyce...)
We've had over a hundred posts this month. This is PRETTY special, just so you know, since this is only the third time it's EVER happened, and the last time was in September. So yeah. Pretty awesome, huh?
So...I was just scrolling through the list of fanfiction topics, all of them, and I came across something....interesting. Click Here. If you didn't click, I'll just tell you. It's TETRIS. What kind of person writes a tetris fanfic? Also, they're hilarious. I urge you to read at least one. I don't think I've laughed that hard in...a few hours!
Juju was at the hospital, in the bed next to me. I adopted her at that moment. That was two years ago.
I am sorry to inform you that I am severely disappointed in your most recent book, Daniel X, Watch Skies. I have previously read the first book in the series, and I while I thought it was alright, I am a much bigger fan of your series Maximum Ride. I'm in sort of an odd mood right now, and I'm feeling the need to criticize, so don't take much of what I say to heart. To me, Daniel X seems to be something you don't take seriously, like it's all a big joke. Everything about it is corny. In no universe would bloodthirsty aliens use the dominant species of their current conquest, in this case, Earth, as entertainment- especially in the way it was portrayed in your book. And, I think, that Daniel isn't very realistic. To me, he seems like a book character, one that I would never be able to pretend was real or dress up as for Halloween. In fact, I was so taken aback by the second book that I have stopped reading it. I read two other books this morning, and yet I was still unable to read yours. I like the plot, of course; an alien hunter who is actually an alien himself is hunting down all bad aliens on The List to avenge his parents' death- it's the details that are the problem. Anyway, I'm getting bored of griping, so why don't you finish reading this, then go reread your Daniel X books, and send me a letter back? I know I'm stretching it a bit on that last one.
So i'm stuck in the airport. I've been rolled over more than 10 times by now, & it's getting annoying. While i'm waiting, i'll tell you amazing people something funny that happened yesterday.
so i went to this store called Sneaker Q to find some Giants (football team) & Knicks (basketball team) stuff (& we found out that no store sells that stuff at reasonable prices). We found a hat, & i was gonna get it for my dad. It was funny cuz this one sales lady was trying to figure out who the hat was for, & when she saw me taking it up to the counter, she said, "oh! It's for you!" & i told her, "no, my dad."
then, the cashier guy was wondering if it would fit, so he tried it on & was like, "it fits me... A little loose, but you want it to be like that, right?"
I just finished reading what's out so far of a manga called Monkey High. And I highly recommend it. It's amazing. Um...to compare it...It's kinda like Lovely Complex and High School Debut. Mainly LoveCom. Seriously, though, read it. Here's a link:
He pops into the room: dance dance like it's monday- cuz it is. Dance like it's tuesday.
I just watched Knowing (or the knowing, whatever). It was pretty good, though incredibly creepy. Still, good. I would recommend it. It was a full two hours of science fictiony goodness. Perfect for a nerd like me. :) Anyways, you should watch it.
Holy sebaba i can't believe i forgot to tell you awesome people about what happens on october 16! Where the Wild Things Grow is gonna come out in theaters! That's right- it's gonna be a movie!
totally amazing book, in case you never read it (which should be a crime, haha)
Rian (wants the cat suit or whatever it is that the guy has... ^-^)
That sounds like a super cliche book title...just might use it someday. Anyways, the inspiration for this comes from the lake sorta kinda by my house, where, almost everyday, this HUGE herd of boats gathers. They're not close enough to talk, and sometimes there are people in the water, but it's still really random. My mom and I have been speculating about it all summer. It's really interesting. I have no idea what the story (TUROTNBP) would be about, though.
Ok. Ready for a super long text that's probably going to make for a fairly short post? You are? Alrighty then, let'sa go!
so, g-force. Pretty ok movie. Basically, these guinea pigs are trained by a section in the FBI & then they get "fired", just to go on another mission to thwart an evil plan to destroy life on the earth's surface. Yuh. Pretty ok.
after the movie, we went to a place called "king's plaza diner", & we got this waitress named mary. My grandfather wanted to order something with 'bombay', but mary thought he was saying 'bonbay'. Finally, she said, "oh, bomb? Like, kapoooosh!?" and it was really loud. Very hilarious.
Rian (has stuff to do, so she'll say more later)
So you know how Glee had that one episode premiere at the beginning of summer and they said it would be coming on for real in fall? Well, I found out the date! It's September 16th! I'm so happy! It's an awesome show. Here are some random quotes from my family these past few nights.
My brother is hilarious when he gets mad. He screams and then starts muttering incoherently, and making all these random hand gestures. It's priceless.
There were a few parts I can't really remember (most of them, actually), but I remember the most hilarious one. My mom was talking about barney (idk how we got onto this conversation), and she ended up telling us about how she used to want to take me to try out for barney...and my brother goes, "I don't think kristin would be a good singing dinosaur." (or something to that effect- curse my memory) And so I burst out laughing, and was like, "she wanted me to be a KID on the show. not BARNEY!" All three of us just about died laughing on that car ride...
So last night, we watched the movie "The Taking of Pelham 123" (which is really good, i must say), & today, we had to ride on the subway. & we walked past ryder's alley. It's weird. & for those of u who haven't seen the movie, i have two things to say- 1) ignore all the cussing & just go watch it! & 2) just believe me when i say that it's weird.
Rian (likes boats, got pics of the statue of liberty, & got some pizza. Good day!)
The neckline slimmer!
gah. I swear, this is one of the stupidest inventions ever. Youtube it, i can't put links on my phone.
Rian (watched independence day last night... Twas hilarious)
dude on TV: It's time to PLAYYYYYYYYYY...FAMILY FEUD!
We officially have one month until school starts. Exactly. School starts on the 24th of August. And this summer went by WAYYY too fast. But there's not much I can do about that right now.
It's Maximum Ride, of course. Here:
Yay! I made it to new york! We're in a taxi... It's quite different than i expected... I didn't realize they were so... Windy. Hahaha the windows are down though, so... :)
the plane ride was uneventful... & we almost didn't make it on the plane at all, actually... The whole process was really confusing. More mobile posting when stuff happens!
Rian (is getting whipped in the face with her hair... Brings back memories of spins in ballet class years & years ago)
so yeah. i'm going to the Big Apple (New York).
yeah. last night I had this dream that i was having a sleep over at some random building with a bunch of random friends that i can't remember right now (no, i didn't forget their names, i just forgot who was there). Anyway, there were snakes, and they were awesome! so i was checking out these two that were swimming in this puddle on the driveway of the building, when they suddenly come and attack me! and i remember thinking, "well, they missed me, but they kinda didn't" and at first, it looked like they were biting each other, but then, they were biting my arms. Twas weird. Anyway, my dream self totally freaked, and i was suddenly zoomed forward in time, to when my friends & I were having a pool party (at the same building). I was standing by a friend, and another person was sitting on the step near us. Suddenly, that friend who's standing was all, "Oh jeez. This thing tried to pop out and eat me." and from the wall they pull this random ginormous green snake that could not have possibly been there the whole time, but my dream self starts freaking out again. only, dream me is trying to stay calm, so dream me (now dubbed dR) tries to keep breathing evenly. Except, dR was breathing too slow. It was funny, though, because the person on the step was all, "Oh my gosh! She's hyperventilating!!" and pulled dR over to the step, while the friend with the big snake throws it out of the pool an impossible distance. So friend on the step makes me breathe normally again. And i woke up. With a headache, because i was probably breathing to slow for real. or hyperventilating. don't know. But yeah. it was like, 5:30 in the morning, and i couldn't go back to sleep because my dream self now has a freaking phobia of snakes. it's really annoying, because in reality, i LOVE snakes! they're amazing!! :D but yeah. weird dream, as usual.
I seem to be forgetting things lately. But I was supposed to be telling you about the odd time last night and my story. So...last night, my brother and I were getting ready for bed, and I was reading SC, and I didn't want to stop, so I was secretly on the computer (secret from my mom...) while my brother read in my room. And I read about three chapters, which, in SC, is about 300 pages...and when I got back into my room, it had only been ten minutes. My brother had only read one page of his book. And yeah, he's a slow reader, but he's not that slow...It was just really weird. REALLY weird. And now, the story.
I swear, I'm gonna die if they don't update this soon. I just finished reading the most amazing, sad, completely incredible manga ever, and it's not complete! I swear, I've been crying for the past three chapters. And it's so awesome...oh my gosh. This sucks. The manga is Sand Chronicles, if any of you were wondering. And it is one of the best mangas I have ever read in my entire life. The weirdest thing is that the mangas I usually read are romantic comedies, I guess, and this one isn't...it's kind of a drama romance thing. Seriously, though, go read it. Now. It's on onemanga. Actually, I want you to read it so much, I'll post a link (omg, amazing, right?).
OOOK! so yeah. Like Kristin said, the next MR book is coming! so i made a countdown!!! :D
My brother & i were laughing for five minutes straight. Why? Because the shoe (my piece) killed the people in the houses & tripped over itself, & i lost count of my spaces. So then i went to redo the counting, i made the shoe tiptoe. And then it killed itself. So we laughed at that. & then we laughed at each other laughing. And then we laughed because no one else would understand why we were laughing. & then we laughed because we were choking, couldn't breathe, & couldn't move. Yeah. Then later, we laughed at hannah montana & g.i. Joe camoflauge (or whatever) suits.
Rian (is, for once, out of laughter O.O)
CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK!!!!!!!!!!
So my brother & i are in the middle of playing monopoly, & we swear- the game hates Aric. It keeps making him pay random fees, & he has not landed on the free parking space once. I, on the other hand, am annoyed because the game loves me. Maybe because i spent ten minutes being ocd setting it up. So it was hilarious... My brother lands on my Baltic Avenue, so he needs to pay me $4. So he grabs his whole stack of ones & gives it to me. Turns out, his whole stack contains $3. Twas hilarious.
Rian (is rich)
Yes, you read the title correctly. Goat. Just a second ago, I was standing on the stairs, talking to my mom, when SOMETHING ran across the window...outside.
Okay, so you all know that a main character is supposed to have some kind of flaw, right? Well, this is good most of the time, but you know, sometimes people just go too far... For instance, the series I'm reading now, The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod. The main character is a crybaby. He cried when he was about to die, he cried when he realized he couldn't die, he cried when he realized his friend was a vampire slayer, he cried when his uncle left, he cried when his girlfriend's friends called him a dork- he's a crybaby. AND he's a vampire. It's just...so annoying. Don't get me wrong, the series is amazing, but seriously. Vlad is in tenth grade. He needs to learn how to get over things...also, last night, while my brother was brushing his teeth, a bubble randomly came out of his mouth and floated away. Yes, he was talking to me when it happened, but it was still really weird. I've never seen that happen before, especially no on accident. Well, I guess that's enough for my random post of the morning. Our party last night was awesome, by the way...
no, tiramisu is NOT a song. at least, not one i know of... hmmm... a song about tiramisu... ANYWAY! haha
And I did what any normal person would do. I answered it. And here's the conversation:
So...I barely got anything written while I was gone...seriously. Like, ten pages on one story, and like, two on another. And then, the long story, the one I've been trying to finish for a while now, suddenly decided that it needed a sequel. See, when I got to the part where I wanted to story to end, I realized I had left a whole bunch of questions unanswered, and secretly, I didn't know the answers to them myself...so, instead of dragging the story out to where it became annoying, to both me and the reader, which, at this point, is nonexistent, I've decided to make a sequel. Wow that was alot of commas...Yeah. I'm not entirely sure if it's just going to be a sequel, or if I'm going to write ANOTHER story after that, to make it a trilogy. I'm not really sure about anything right now.
Tonight is the blog's birthday party!! Unfortunately, there will be no cake and ice cream, unless you supply it for yourself. :'(
So...I actually got home around nine thirty, but I'm not posting until now because I just finished read all my emails. Seriously, it took that long. I had 81, and we were only gone for...well, less than a week. But whatever. I had like, forty fanfiction chapters to read. And now I have to check up on mangas. Yay!!
Since we had to check out of the hotel at noon, and my dads tournament didnt start til 11, we are now roaming around homeless. We do this alot. And our last stop is always barnes and noble, where we read books we dont buy. I can usually finish a whole book and a few graphic novels. In case you didnt notice, we do this a lot. We actually went in a random costco and got a bunch of random free samples.
Kris.
hey- this might be ridiculous, but please watch it! :D
... sorry. you can't really see it... So, I...borrowed my dad's laptop. Actually, he and my mom went to Dairy Queen, so I'm using it while they're away. I'm a bit tired of mobile posting right now. And watching that stupid spngebob marathon thing. My brother is busy being obsessive. So...idk what to talk about. I kinda already said everything in my mobile posts.
Gonna see X-Men Origins tonight, i think. Also, our hotel room is amazing. Seriously. I forget we're in a hotel. It's like an apartment. Except for the fact that my brother and I have to sleep in the pull out sofa bed. But you know, it's amazing otherwise. Well, I'd better get off. If I want to do anything else on the computer, I'd better start soon. Talk soon!
I should be home late sunday night..also, my dad is third in the tournament so far! Yay.
Kris.
Today is the first day of my dads two day golf tournament, which is why we're out of town in the first place. So...wish him luck!
Guess what?! This post is being posted at the exact same time as our first post! You can go look! And the reason that it's like that is because I planned it. Yay for me. So anyways, I was planning on talking about all the awesome stuff that's happened this year. Unfortunately, we didn't reach the thousand post goal, but we came close!! Also, we got our ten THOUSANDTH hit a few weeks ago! Amazing, right? I remember when we we still in double digits!
so lately, my dad has been attacked by tiny pixies that no one can see or hear- our proof? They keep stabbing him.
so yeah. it's been a year! I mean, it's not really cause for a celebration, but it kinda is. I mean, you celebrate your birthday every year, correct? If you don't, i can understand. I mean, it's just another year. Nothing too special... (unless you can die on any given day for no apparent reason... wait. we all can. so uh... maybe they are pretty special, eh? hahaha) but anyway, something like this... I think it's worth saying, "Congratulations!" for. Cuz I mean, seriously... I know i get like, obsessed with things, but after a while, i totally forget about it until YEARS later, when I start messing with it again. And the process repeats until I finally just get rid of it. But this blog... it has never ceased to amuse me. I've had a lot of fun this year... and I hope you awesome people stick with us for another one, and many years to come... I mean, I know. we, well, ok-it's mostly always me- can be kind of annoying what with our totally random babbles and rants and just plain "hi!"s, but hey... you don't get bored too easily, right? :)
My brother has some problems. We passed by some cows and he goes, 'omg, i saw a unicorn!' and we were just like...huh? And my mom tells him to think for a few seconds and then tell her what he saw. And hes like,'it had a horn on its head, i swear!' and we just stare at him and he says 'well, maybe it was just a horse...'
It was hilarious.
Happy Blogiversary!
Or is it merry? Well, i guess it doesmt really matter. So...later tonight you should see my official blogiversary time travel post. This one is mobile(duh), and im going to talk about the harry potter movie!
It was amazing of course, but there were a bunch of things in the movie that werent in the book. And it didnt have alot of the quidditch stuff, which made me mad. The worst thing was that harry and ginnys kiss wasnt like it was in the book.(p533)And that was one of my favorite parts! One of my other favorites was when harry was yelling at cormac mclaggen and got hit by the bludger. (P415) the good thing about the movie was that it was hilarious. Man, i love ron. Hes my favorite. In case you hadnt noticed, my favorite characters tend to be the funny ones. Like iggy and jacob and emmett. Well, i guess thats enough for now. My fingers are getting tired and im already on my sixth text, so i think thats enough.
Kris.
haha so we have a very good friend named Kat, and she, along with her equally amazing friend, Marie, made a song.
i love creamed corn! >.<Happy blog-iversary!
i'll post something meaningful later... But can you believe it? It's actually been a year since we've started.
... I guess you probably can.
yeah... Like i said, meaningful stuff later.
rian (is still sleepy- it's early here)
Aric: Can you help me do my dishes? [weird voice]
yuh, i kinda hate public bathrooms, too.
yeah, actually, after thinking about it, and remembering a few others, i'm changing the order of the top 5 and going ahead & giving you the top ten... i mean, i'm bored. there's nothing better to do :P
yeah. it's a love/hate relationship- I love deadlines because whatever is due, i'm done with it (usually), but I hate them because that means I don't have a lot of time to finish whatever I'm working on. yuh...
Getting ready to go see the new hp movie! I'm so excited! I actually reread the whole sixth book yesterday so i'd be ready! Also, if you didnt know this, the seventh movie will be in two parts. 2010 and 2011. Yay! If you hadnt noticed, im a big harry potter fan. On a less obsessive note, we visited the capitol today. The library was awesome. I mean the capitol building in Austin. Texas. Well, gonna get back to my book now. Its hot outside, by the way.
Kris.
Kid: Hey G.I. JOE! I accidentally stuffed my dog in the microwave!
joe: Microwaves are dangerous!
k: I didn't know!
j: Well now you know! And knowing is half the battle!
ppl: G.I. JOE! A real american hero!
lol my bro & i made that up... Tomorrow, i'll try to put a youtube video up with real ones... Haha. It might not seem funny to you, but you haven't heard us :P
Rian (actually thinks that the kids are talking to Duke, but it doesn't matter)
psst: lovely complex /is/ hilarious!
the //= italicized.
Today, when I went to the orthodontist, he said that I'll probably get my braces off the next time I go!! (August 10th) This is a freaking miracle to me, since I've had my braces on since the beginning of fifth grade!! Yup...I don't really have any pictures of myself without braces!! It's kinda weird. But AWESOME! (not the picture thing...) I am SO excited!! Well, I'm gonna go eat or something...
That reminds me of iCarly...
So, Kat has answered some of our questions!! She's the only one so far...but luckily (for you) she got some of the questions WRONG. Well, technically not wrong, but she didn't answer some.
You should watch this one, by the way. It's awesome and hilarious.
Man, I love that...nonword.
This post is mainly going to be me blabbing on and on about how awesome it is that my current story is the longest so far (which is usually how things like this work). So if you don't want to listen to me blab, i suggest you stop reading. Just this post, not the blog. No one go around telling people that I told them to stop reading MY blog. That would be stupid.
Now, onto the blabbing.
My story is in it's third notebook (!?) and I only have about three pages left until I have to start a fourth! (can you tell how excited this makes me?) Also, it's like...280 pages long. I'm nearing the end, but that doesn't mean much, considering it takes me SO long to write endings. It's because I have to go slowly and make sure they make sense, and sometimes I just don't want the story to end, so I drag it out...But anyways. I should be done before school starts.
The only REAL problem for me, which most people probably won't see as a problem, is that I get SO attached to my characters. It would probably kill me to kill one of them, and that wouldn't do anyone any good. So I try to avoid killing. Also, if you join us on the cbox sometimes, you'll see some...odd names. Some of them are names of characters I'm particularly attached to. And when I say attached to, I mean it. I wrote their story, 175 pages of actiony goodness, last summer, and every few weeks I still feel the need to write short stories about them. Even though it's not my longest story, it's certainly my favorite, and possibly my best. But anyways, the story I'm writing now has pretty awesome characters, but the only problem is that there's ALOT. It was unavoidable, though, with the circumstances.
The most fun part for me, is coming up with mental images of characters and forming their histories. I love it, because then you know why they are the way they are. Writing just makes everything make sense.
Well, if you've even read this far, you've probably had enough of my random ranting. If not, be sure to let me know. I'm sure I could go on for hours. It's been done before...but that's more so when I'm talking to people.
Seriously, you should never get me started on things like that. Because I will go on and on. Another topic to avoid if you're short on time is stuff about space, or scifi-ish stuff. You know, asking me if I think time travel is possible (yes), about black holes, the formation of the universe, aliens, wormholes; stuff like that. I've seriously talked people to sleep. Well, it wasn't all my fault, considering that it was probably three in the morning, dark, and it was my cousin, who can fall asleep at a moments notice.
See, here I go again. Rambling off on some random topic that only has the slightest bit to do with the original topic. But whatever. I'll stop now.
Kris.
gonky is a word, and i won't tell you what it means.
The weirdest(and grossest) thing just happened. I was reading a pretty good book(found- margaret peterson haddix, one of the best authors ever) and turned the page to find it filled with hair. Not just one or two strands either enough to make a whole barbie! Also, since this is a mobile post, and it took more than one text, i wonder if it will post as one post or three? I guess we'll see.
I was supposed to be posting to tell you that the contest rules and stuff are now in the sidebar! So you don't have to go searching for the post.Good luck!
My name would be R.I.A.N.N.A., which stands for:
Not much going on right now...I am kinda sad though, about So You Think You Can Dance, which my mom and I always accidentally call Dancing With the Stars. Next week they'll be switching partners, so my favorite couple, Jason and Caitlin, will be split up!! :(
hi
... There needs to be band-aids that stick to your feet & palms...
I mean, i have an ant bite right at the base of my toes, & it itches like crazy! So i put a band-aid on it... That lasted like, 2 seconds. Then, i cut the bottom of my other foot, & i'm using duct tape to keep it on. >.>;;
yeah...
rian (was watching jeapordy, & now wheel of fortune!)
we have another death...
I'm doing this in a more...formal manner than Rian. We're having contests to for our blog readers, since it's our blogiversary! It will start now, when I post the questions, and it will end Monday the 20th! All answers to the questions can be found somewhere on the blog. The prizes will be...SURPRISES! But, to give you an idea, it will be something you can use on your computer. Like if you want a new background, or something like that, tell us! And we'll do our best to either make one or find one. Like I said, I can work wonders with a computer. So, if you don't have a blogger account, or even if you do, it'd be nice if you included an email address with your entry.
I beat kristin to this! Though she'll probably come and add more detaily stuff... but anyway, that's beside the point.
So, as you have probably noticed, both Rianna and I have set up mobile posting...so I won't have to worry about those stupid lines any longer!
I can post from email, but i don't have email on my phone. I could always use my mom's phone, but I doubt she'd let me...let me look it up, and then i'll post about the contest thingy.
Okay, so the funniest thing happened at the library today...and I'm going to have to give names, so I hope they don't mind.
I totally thought that we started the blog on the 17th of July... but obviously not.
