Yeah. Sorry. This school year is super busy, and I'm sorry we're losers.

Feel free to call us that as much as you like.

Anyway... In spite of the long long long... Very long breaks from the blog we've been taking recently, I wanted to give you all some hope.

yeah. it may seem gruesome now... but once you get past the fact that yes, people apparently are selling chunks of ground meat with sprinkles in it, you realize:

UNICORNS ACTUALLY EXIST AND THEY ARE AT RADIANT FARMS!!!!!!!!!!

How cool is that?!

So now, we can all search "Radiant Farms" on Google, get directions to this place from your house, and viola! You can be the one(s) to free the unicorns and allow them to breed in the wild, thus (hopefully) allowing their population to increase and then maybe someday there will be enough so that everyone can see a wild unicorn with their own eyes!

TAKE THAT, NAYSAYERS!

You could totally see real live unicorns, and not just ground meat that has sprinkles on it and claims to contain "Magic in every bite!" (it's probably the sprinkles you're tasting).

But yeah... that's some sketchy meat.

Honestly, at first glance, I didn't even know what that was... I thought it was like, a gross, melty looking cake.

If someone offers you unicorn meat... I'd pass.

Unless, of course, you were cruel enough to go to Radiant Farms just to slay a few for yourself... jerk xD We wanna see unicorns, too!

Anyway, yes. Hopefully the fact that unicorns exist was enough to make you consider forgiving us for being losers.

I really should be working on my history homework...

Read before you click the links... I have issues with technology.

... But it's due on Friday and I have about 1/3 of it done already.

I'm such a horrible procrastinator.

Anyway, I've been watching videos off the daily what (a tumblr/cheezburger site) and I've seen two hilarious videos so far. And since this machine is kind of lame and doesn't know how to give me embed codes (it's me being technologically challenged, I'm sure), you have to click some links.

Sorry.

First! This little girl and her dad are so hilarious... It's so lolzy.

Second! This is one of the best Doritos ads I've ever seen. Too bad it's not an actual commercial... Also, the list of ingredients is in the description, so you don't have to be a "doof" (as one of my friends would say) and keep pausing the video in order to see all of them. Smh.

Yeah. Hope you've been having a better 2012 than I've been having!

Your favorite technologically challenged blogger (hopefully),

Plants vs. zombies

2011-12-29T23:36:00.005-06:00

Let me just start out by saying: I hate that game.

Let me continue by saying: I'm pretty sure I'm addicted to that game.

It's basically a win-lose (or just a lose-lose, I can see it both ways) situation.

So, I got an iPad for Christmas, which is awesome, so I downloaded PvZ because I really enjoyed playing that game on the iPads at various Apple stores I've gone to, and I downloaded the trial versions for the Xbox and my computer. And I beat the game on my iPad today, with a total of three deaths. I felt pretty accomplished! And then I get to the mini games and things like this started happening:

So in this game, you had to plant starfruit in the spaces with starfruit in them, and you could plant nothing else in those spaces. Then waves of zombies like this came.

This happened about a minute after the previous picture was taken. By this point, I had given up.

Um, okay, never mind then. Apparently this machine won't let me upload pictures to the site. I'll get on my piece-of-junk laptop & upload them in a minute :)

It was pretty ridiculous... The sunflowers suddenly became very stingy with their suns and I'd have to wait for the sky to give me like, three before I could even get one from one sunflower out of five. And then conveyor belts would stop giving me plants and then huge waves like the ones I have pictures of would show up... I probably died like, seventeen times in the mini games alone. It's kind of sad. But it's probably just the way the game's supposed to be, so it's whatever.

I still hate the game, though.

Yours in kicking zombie butt,

Rian

2011-12-27T00:38:00.002-06:00

I hope that everyone had a very merry Christmas, or if you don't celebrate Christmas, a very merry Hanukkah/day before Kwanzaa/Sunday. :)

That's all.

Kris.

2011-12-27T00:35:00.002-06:00

I hope that everyone had a very merry Christmas, or if you don't celebrate Christmas, a very merry Hanukkah/day before Kwanza/Sunday. :)

That's all.

Zombie Christmas (bigger picture)

2011-12-23T17:02:00.001-06:00

Hi!

2011-12-22T18:03:00.001-06:00

A festive comic:

Kooking with Kristin! (part 2)

2011-12-22T13:28:00.004-06:00

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! :D

Yeah. So Kristin's been over at my house for a while because today was the day we decided to make our annual holiday cookies! :D We've been making them for a while... I mean, the annually part. Like, this is our... 4th or 5th year to do it. We usually have a theme other than Christmas for our Christmas cookies... and we leave the actual Christmas cookies to my mom & our brothers. :) The first year was Maximum Ride, then there was superheroes last year... and we don't remember the other ones haha but this year was ZOMBIE CHRISTMAS! Which I just now realized goes perfectly with the zombie blog thing... but that was totally coincidental. We were making our usual cookies of ourselves because we are vain people who love to see ourselves in cookie form (lol). Anyway, we always have a hard time getting the cookies off the table to the cookie tray so we can bake them... and this year we lost quite a few body parts xD So we decided to make zombies. I'll post the pictures in a second :) But yeah... it's pretty awesome, I think. Kris says that there's nothing really left to talk about unless we start talking about how awesome we are, fighting zombies (we made weapons for ourselves, as you will see)... so I guess I'll just go ahead and post the pictures.

PICTURES YAY:

To build your Zombie Holiday cookies, these are the supplies you need: Rolling pins, cookie cutters, icing, and flour. And your imagination, of course ;)

These are the cookies after they were baked... you can see all the random body pieces that will be zombies after we ice them... and the three normal(ish) looking people will be me, Kris, & our friend Kim, whose house we are going to later to spend the night. So we felt she should be included. :) The stocking is actually a smushed car... Just use your imagination when you see it ;) and the trees are just... trees... and the squares are barricades & signs. And then our weapons.
Yes.

Yeah... and sorry this is obnoxiously small... but this is the finished product! The purple sign in the corner says "ZOMBIE," but it is unnaturally hard to write stuff using gel icing. I don't even know. And yes, the trees are on fire. And there are two random bystanders there... I don't know why, but why not?! And then in order from left to right on the bottom is: Me, Kim, & Kris, with our respective zombies above us. I have an axe, Kim has a chainsaw, and Kris has two guns because she's special (they both go in the same hand so she can double wield [sort of] and still have a free hand lol). Oh. And those presents? They have zombie arms coming out of them. "MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAVE A ZOMBIE!"

So... yeah. I suppose that concludes this episode of Kooking with Kristin! :D

-KnR

psst: if you click the small picture, it should get bigger, but I'll double check that in a second :)
psst2: nevermind. It doesn't work that way. It's weird. Sorry. SQUINT & LOOK REALLY CLOSELY! lol

Ahh...

2011-12-19T17:54:00.004-06:00

THIS brings back memories.

By the way, I do like waffles, pancakes and french toast. And now I want breakfast.

Kris.

For Beckham:

2011-12-16T15:31:00.002-06:00

At the request of one Beckham on the cbox, I'm posting.
So I can say that I updated the blog recently.
And he/she can't get mad at me. :)
So... what's new? Nothing for me, really...
School got out today, and that's cool.
I'm in a play... that's a lot of fun. This weekend's the last weekend, though. So that's kind of sad.
Now that I don't really have anything to study for the moment... I'm kind of bored.
That's one of the things I hate about being such a nerd. I study so much that it takes up all my time, so when I don't have to study, I don't really have anything else to do.
It's majorly annoying.
I need friends. And maybe a social life.
If I find anything interesting, I'll be sure to post about it :)
Just for you, Beckham.
and all you other wonderful readers, as well.
By the way- if you've stuck with us from the sort of beginning, kudos to you. I should send you cookies or something. Thanks for being great.
And to all (or any) of you new readers... welcome! Sorry we don't post so much anymore xD
Hopefully that'll change, though.

Anyway, have a wonderful day! :D

The Thing About Zombies Is...

2011-12-13T22:27:00.002-06:00

... they don't generally move very fast.
So please forgive us for not posting very often at the moment! Especially this week...
You see, our principal has taken away exam exemptions, so now everyone has to take all of the exams. Which really stinks :( So Kris & I are studying at the moment.
Please don't judge us.
We're nerds. It's in our blood.
Our zombie blood.
...But we're not really zombies.
At least, I don't think we're zombies.
Makes me think of the hilarious movie you should go watch right now called AHHH! Zombies!
It's awesome.
Go watch it. ;) haha
Have a good day/week!

-Rian

Kooking with Kristin!

2011-12-07T18:49:00.003-06:00

Yes. That's supposed to be "Cooking," but I thought it'd be catchier with a 'k'.

So... Kris & I had to bake a cake today for one of our classes at school. We're having a party on Friday :)
So here's our cake box- look at how elite we are! We got "the best cake" and it's "deluxe" lol

So after carefully reading the instructions and still managing to do it all backwards (we put the water in the bowl,then the cake mix, then the oil, and then the eggs, which proceeded to sink into the batter like it was quick sand), we had some delicious cake batter!

Yum! (yes, we ate some. Gotta love raw eggs!)
Then, after pouring the batter into the pan in delightful scribble masterpieces (i took pictures, but they were really tiny), we placed the cake in the oven to bake.

While we waited for it to bake, we watched the Matchmaker episode of How I Met Your Mother :) it was awesome. Like the Loch Ness Monster ;]

Then finally the cake was done! And it smelled delicious. We might have eaten some of it... but we got some rainbow chip icing to put on it, which is rather delicious, and some purple gel icing to produce the finished dessert:

Yeah. TOK= Theory of Knowledge. That's the class. It's a cool saying because it's a discussion class. TOK it out = talk it out. Yeah :)

And that was this week's episode of Kooking with Kristin! :D haha

Snowman Ring

2011-12-05T22:11:00.003-06:00

So, I finished my ring! Here's a picture:

It's super blurry, but I hope you can tell just how cute it is! As you can see, I didn't use the white ring I had been making because I got lazy and didn't feel like finishing it. I used a blue and white striped ring I made earlier this year. It was a little big on me, but with the stuff I added, it actually fits pretty well. :)

So, here are the actual instructions (though none of my instructions are very specific or very good) for the snowman ring!

Basically, I drew the snowman shape on paper and then traced onto the foam, which I cut out very carefully. The eyes and buttons are drawn on with a pen, and the nose is a super tiny foam triangle.

Instead of using a needle and thread like I said, I made a sort of harness thing for the snowman with the scarf... It's probably strangling him. (sorry) Anyway, I just made little loops around the ring and then used the red string to go through them, around the snowman's neck, and tie in the back. I secured the knot with clear nail polish, then glued the back of the snowman to the ring so it wouldn't fall off. To finish the scarf, I glued two pieces of thread together in the middle, folded them under and then over the strangling neck scarf, and then glued that down.

I hope that makes some kind of sense. If not, feel free to comment and tell me how crazy I am. I plan on making more, possibly Christmas trees, more reindeer, or something like that, so I'll post when I do!

Let me know if you found this interesting at all!

Kris.

Holiday Crafts!

2011-12-05T16:07:00.006-06:00

So, yesterday I was super bored. Like, really bored. So I decided to make crafts!

The first thing I made was this super cute Christmas card with a reindeer on it. I made it out of that squishy craft foam stuff, and I based my reindeer off of this picture that I found on google.

Then I glued it to some construction paper, and TA-DA! Instant Christmas card. Well, not necessarily instant... But you get my point.

I've made two so far, and I haven't decided if it's worth my time to make them for anyone else yet, but I'll let you know.

The next project, which I have started but not finished, is a snowman ring! It kind of requires you knowing how to make a friendship bracelet, but if you don't know how, don't worry! It's super easy. You can learn here.

So, a while ago, I decided I wanted to make rings instead of bracelets, because they're quicker, and I'm not really a big fan of bracelets anyway. It's super easy, and it takes like five minutes, I promise. All you have to do is make the ring long enough that it will reach around whichever finger you want to wear it on, but no longer. Then you just tie the ends together with a super tight knot (I use clear nail polish to keep it together) and cut off the leftover strings. There's your ring! For the snowman ring, I'm using white thread, which I bought at Michael's for about thirty cents.

So, after you have your ring made, you need a needle and thread (if you're like me and there are no needles in your house because you're broken/lost them all doing random crafts, then see the alternate instructions later. I'm not sure which way is easier, because I haven't actually done it yet, but I'll let you know.). Basically, you just sew the cute foam shape (mine's a snowman) to the ring, preferably in a place that you can cover up with decoration. For instance, I'm using red thread for mine and then I'm going to disguise it as a scarf. :)

Then you have your super cute ring! You should wear it so school, and tell all of your friends how you learned how to make it! :)

So, I guess that's it for now. I'll post pictures and further instructions later tonight when I finish the ring!

Kris.

HAPPY DECEMBER!

2011-12-03T16:43:00.004-06:00

But like, 3 days after the fact.
Yeah, sorry we haven't been posting... again...
Okay. Is it just me, or are all of these apology posts really annoying?
We really just need to find something to post about so we can avoid awkward annoying situations like this.
Unfortunately, I don't really have anything to post about.
How about... um... so... how 'bout that weather, huh?
haha this is making me think of the "Act Casual" portion of this video (I'll go ahead & embed it cuz I'm awesome):

hahaha this video makes me laugh. Oh. Speaking of making me laugh... how 'bout these elephants- i mean, uh, this awesome band ;] (you might wanna turn it down or something, especially if you're wearing headphones... this could potentially damage your ears. Don't say I didn't warn you):

pahahaha if you're a part of this band... you are definitely awesome. And if you don't know the song they're playing, click here.
I always wonder, though... was this just an amazingly put together troll? Like, did these guys mean to play this poorly? Or did they really just not know the song at all & were having the worst off day ever?
So... yeah. Hope you enjoy these videos :)
And if you want me to post other videos or if you have any suggestions for posts, I'd love to hear them! And I'll dedicate the post to you ;] hahaha
Hope you've had a lovely December so far!

HAM!

2011-11-24T22:02:00.002-06:00

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone has had a great day, and is not currently waiting outside a store for a sale. I mean, really? There is this dude that has been camping out at Best Buy for a week now... I don't understand how anyone could want material goods badly enough to miss out on food! Especially delicious Thanksgiving food. Besides, look at this! You can't take your tent into the store, so a smart person would just wait until everyone crammed inside and steal the tents. That's how you save money on Black Friday. Also, they probably have some good food stashed away in their sleeping bags...

Anyway, enough about Black Friday ridiculousness; back to Thanksgiving! As a quick poll that will probably get no votes (please, prove me wrong), which do you prefer at Thanksgiving: turkey or ham? (or other, I guess....)

Personally, I'm a fan of ham.

So, I guess that concludes my rambling post... I don't really have anything else to say, except that I am shopping tomorrow, but I'm going at nine, like a normal person.

Kris.

Someone ate my pasta.

2011-11-21T21:19:00.004-06:00

Bonjour!

I think I'm adding that to the list of things I will forever be mad about. Basically, yesterday we didn't have any food, so my dad sent me to Jason's Deli to pick up dinner. I got this really good pasta, but I couldn't finish it, so I put it in a container in the fridge for later. I was looking forward to that pasta all day, but I got home and it wasn't there! :( And since there is still no food (we're obviously too lazy to go to the grocery store), I ate some cornflakes. Without milk, because we don't have that either.

Luckily, Thanksgiving is in a few days, so I won't have to worry about food for a while!

Hmm... there was an actual reason I was posting besides pasta, but I don't remember.

Oh yeah! If you're looking for something awesome to listen to, you should try the new Mayday Parade album! My favorite song on the album is "I'd Rather Make Mistakes Than Nothing at All", which is the song on the blog right now. I also like "Oh Well, Oh Well", but the best song ever is "A Shot Across the Bow", which is basically about how much he hates someone and wants them to die. What makes it hilarious is how happy he sounds about it. You should totally listen to it. I promise it's awesome.

So, I guess that's enough for today. Have a nice Tuesday! Hopefully some of you are luckier than us and aren't in school at all this week!

Kris.

HEY LOOK! A POST! RARE SIGHTING!

2011-11-20T19:54:00.002-06:00

And unlike unicorns, this post is actually real! O.O
whoa.
Yes, I wish unicorns were real, too. Do you know how awesome that would be?
... That makes me think of a story Kristin & I tried to write a way way way long time ago... It was about a firefly named Lightning (I think) and a unicorn named Ulysses S. Granticorn (the Third? I don't remember). But we only got 5 chapters in before Kristin stopped adding to it, and I am a horrid writer (my stories are failures), so I figured it'd be better to leave it incomplete than try to finish it myself. Because it probably wouldn't have gotten an ending in the first place... I would've come up with a horrible plot and then given up.
Speaking of horrible plots...
I can't remember the last time I've watched a movie I thought was bad (excluding the Twilight movies... those are just hilarious... ly bad).
But... yeah. A lot of movies that have come out recently have been pretty awesome! It's really exciting! I love being able to watch a movie all the way through and not get bored or confused... Oh. Like... Okay. I don't remember what it's called, but there's one movie about a movie producer who went crazy... and there were these rappers who wanted to finish producing a movie he never finished, or something... and the actual producers hated the rappers... see? I can't even explain it well. It was just too confusing. Movies like that get on my nerves. Movies are not just a bunch of random scenes put together with a very loose, esoteric plot. Movies are stories. With pictures. That move.
... Yeah.
But honestly, I'm really excited about some of the movies that are coming out! Like Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows... I don't know. I really like Sherlock Holmes movies... they crack me up, and provide just enough mystery that I can't exactly put everything together until the very end, which is good. Because if I piece the mystery together and there's still an hour left in the movie, I'm going to fast forward to the end (probably). But anyway, this Holmes movie looks sorta interesting, so I'm sorta excited for it. And ooooh, The Darkest Hour looks so incredibly awesome! I really enjoy the slight twist on the alien thing... of course, it's the same general plot- destroy/take over the planet, but... it looks awesome! I like the concept with energy & invisibility... I've always been a sucker for invisibility.
Mmm... Let's see. Oh. I still haven't seen Super 8... that was one of those movies where the trailers told you almost nothing, but it looked good so you kinda wanna see it. Was it good, does anyone know? I hope it's not like that 9 movie where the trailers told you almost nothing, and the movie itself told you even less than the trailer. That's what I heard about it, ergo I never watched it haha
Oh. And I'm rather excited for the Avengers movie... I've been keeping up with all the new superhero movies, just so I have the correct backgrounds for it. If you don't know, all those superhero movies that have recently been coming out (Thor, Wolverine, Captain America, the Amazing Spiderman [possibly... I'm not sure about this one]) and then some of the older ones (Hulk, Fantastic 4 [does anyone know if they're gonna redo these? Because Cptn. America & Johnny Storm are the same person], Iron Man) are all building up for one mega Avengers movie! And if you don't know who the Avengers are, check out this link :) I feel like, doubly awesome because I've actually read a few of the comics! My dad used to buy them, and we still have them. So every once in a while, when I'm bored, I'll pull out a couple of X-Men or Spiderman or Avengers and just read :) It's really quite cool. So yeah, definitely looking forward to that movie. I hope they don't ruin it like they ruined Deadpool in Wolverine... Deadpool's gotta be my favorite mutant, hands down. He's funnier than Spiderman is supposed to be (he wasn't as funny in the movies...), he regenerates like Wolverine, and he wields swords and guns, along with various other weapons. AND he's like a ninja. So... yeah. Best mutant, by far.
Wow. This post is really long.
Guess it goes to show how much I like movies.
Maybe.
Okay. I'll stop rambling now.
Welcome to the zombie blog! I hope you're enjoying our new stuff! You should totally comment and tell us what you think :) That'd be way awesome of you.
-Rian

The only reason why we ask other people how their weekend was is so we can tell them about our own weekend.

2011-11-20T17:32:00.009-06:00

Hi, everyone!

How was your weekend? I hope that you have watched the video and enjoyed it! If not, you should :) It will make your weekend better.

We're not sure how often we're going to make videos, but we'll be sure to let you know when we come out with a new one!

So, on a completely different note, since we are reviving the blog, I am going to try to post everyday, at least for a while. Nothing happened today, though, so I guess I'll tell you about the rest of my weekend, which was awesome.

Friday, I went to the football game! It was really awesome, and we got to play in Cowboys Stadium. Even though we lost (I will forever be mad about that), it was a really great game. I mean, we scored a touchdown in the last two seconds and tied the game. It was so awesome I can't even begin to describe it. Everyone was super excited. Like, THIS excited. We lost in overtime (the other team kicked a field goal), but still... It was great.

Anyway, as you know from the video (I'm assuming you've watched it by now), Rianna and I (plus some other friends) went to see Breaking Dawn part 1 yesterday. It was better than the others, but still not quite good. There were some really funny parts, but in general the acting really sucked (except for Charlie, of course! He's my favorite...), and some parts were just awkward. So, my rating:

Breaking Dawn (part 1)

Entertainment:

Quality:

Summary: If you want a laugh, watch BD. If you want to watch a good movie, see something else.

Hmm... I should do that more often.

Anyway, that's all for today!

I hope you all have a good week (yes, all of you invisible blog readers...), and I will post again soon!

Kris

yay new stuffs!

2011-11-19T18:51:00.002-06:00

So... we pretty much fixed everything! We hope you like it :)
We worked kinda hard on it. Especially the video. The video took forever.
Please comment on what you like/dislike! That'd be awesome of you to do :)

GRACIAS (Merci, thank you, sorry i don't know thank you in any other languages)!!
Kris & Rian

UNDER CONSTRUCTION (temporarily)

2011-11-19T18:34:00.003-06:00

Yeah. Hi.
Those improvements/changes Kristin was talking about?
They're currently happening.
So if you're confused about why stuff is changing (if you're weird & keep refreshing the page)... that's why.
Just wanted to unconfuse you :)
-Rian & Kris

NOTICE: AWESOMENESS COMING SOON

2011-11-16T16:36:00.002-06:00

So, I know it's been forever since either of us have posted (especially me...), but we are going to bring this blog back from the dead! It will be the best zombie blog around, I promise. :)

Hopefully in the next week or so you'll start to see things like:

a new background!
new music
possibly a video
and a whole bunch stuff we haven't come up with yet!

We're going to try this out, and hopefully it will be more organized than it was. If you're reading this (is anybody reading this?), please please please comment and let us know. We love you, we promise! We've just been super busy lately, and the blog kind of fell to the side. If you'd like to see anything in particular on the new and improved zombie blog, please let us know! If not, let us know anyway!

Wow.

2011-09-13T19:30:00.003-05:00

We really suck at posting, huh?
I'm really sorry about this.
I promise that neither of us have died... School's honestly just been really busy. I have almost zero free time (unless I'm sleeping. That's free time, but I'm gonna use it for sleep), but for me, at least, it really hasn't been too bad. Just... a lot of work all at once haha
I hope you're having a wonderful day/week/month/year... and sorry again for not posting.
If you haven't already, I highly suggest reading the whole blog from the very beginning... I think it's sorta interesting, and you can learn a ton of new, useless facts! :D (so cool! all your friends will be so jealous about your newly acquired useless fact collection, I'm sure!)
But yeah. If you're still checking this fairly frequently... thanks for sticking with us, but you could probably start checking once a month or so... sorry. You're really awesome, though, and I hope you don't forget about us!
Rian

whooooaaa

2011-07-26T23:21:00.001-05:00

Holy wow!
I just realized that we haven't posted for exactly one month.
I guess I picked an excellent day to finally post something.
Yesss.

"Let Me Just Begin My Three-part Apology By Saying That You're a Wonderful Person..."

2011-07-26T23:07:00.002-05:00

Um... that's a semi-accurate quote from the movie Zombieland... and yeah. I'm sorry for not posting in forever. It's just been one of those summers where I don't feel like doing a single thing but become one with the couch and stuff my brains with movies. Seriously. It's waaaaay bad. I'm actually starting to fear that my brain, since I haven't had any software updates and have ignored the "check engine" light for quite a long while, might be expired or just too old of a version to work very well. I may have to replace it... but unless anyone knows a good place to buy excellent brains and feels like taking me there, I'll just laze around on the couch some more :)
Anyway. So... I think ones my brain gets in gear and I decide to do everything the last week before school starts (hahaha I'm kidding, but I really am a horrible procrastinator), I'll work on that mega documentary post I planned on writing earlier but became too lazy to even start haha so you guys will get to see what's been going on this summer (not much yet, but... hey, I guess this segues into the main topic of this post!)

I'm not leaving the blog, I promise. I'm just going on vacation soon! Yay, beaches. Now I can detach myself from my couch potato life and venture out into the sun, where I will quite possibly melt or become blinded by the brightness. But it'll be fun, I'm sure, so... if I melt or go blind, I'll be happy at least :)
Anyway. I hope you all have had a wonderful June and most of July, and hopefully I'll post again, this time sooner rather than later. Sorry again for that.

Where does George Washington keep his armies?

2011-06-26T22:18:00.004-05:00

IN HIS SLEEVIES!

That's the most hilarious joke I've heard in a while... other than this one, which is just hilarious because it's so lame:

What did the farmer say when he lost his tractor?

Where's my tractor?

It's just funny because it's not really a joke at all...

Anyway, I'm back from Europe! Everything was super amazing! I would make a really long post about it, but I don't really feel like it.... maybe I'll post some pictures later.

So... that's all for now. I hope you enjoyed the cheesiness.

Crazy Stuff

2011-06-16T21:15:00.004-05:00

There wasn't an embed code as far as I could tell (which wasn't very far, lemme tell you), so you'll just have to click this link.
I dunno... I thought it was perfect, somehow. Hilarious, too... but fitting?
Actually, I have no idea what I'm talking about. I was at Mavericks Central today (Dallas, Tx- along with every other Mavs fan in the country) for the parade... it was hot, and crowded, and I didn't get to see because the guys in front of me (I was standing at the edge of a fountain, but it was weird... I'll draw a picture) would always stick their arms up and shout "CHANDLERRRR!!" whenever any of the players drove by... but only once was it actually Tyson Chandler.

Alright: PICTURES!

So first there was this girl, who I totally agree with, except when you look around and see this:

It's kind of sad.

These were the crazy Chandler fans standing in front of me, constantly blocking my view of the parade, and here is a bad diagram of the area :)

The single x is where I was standing, the 4 x's are where those crazy guys were standing. All the gaps where I was standing on the fountain represent where waterfalls were. Also, pretend each of the giant purple stick figures represent about the same amount of people in the crowd picture... But there were still a lot more. And the rectangles are buildings. There were people in there, and I was slightly jealous because Texas is hot :( There was probably air conditioning.
Also, the tiny stick figures in the fountain represent all the nasty little children who were swimming around and splashing everyone. (Fountain water is disgusting- don't let your children swim in it, or drink it. Ew.)

But fortunately, I caught glimpses of the players and other various people, so I wasn't disappointed. Today was... hectic, to say the least, but enjoyable at the same time. And one more thing: IN YO FACE, HEAT FANS! hahaha sorry, I couldn't resist :) I really don't care too much for basketball, but I'm happy to see the team I grew up watching finally win.
Anyway, I hope you have an enjoyable rest of your week!
Rian (is not a great artist)

Don'tcha know?

2011-06-12T22:05:00.005-05:00

The reason I love this show?
Hilarious people like this guy.

Of course, there are the amazing things like this or this (or even this [it's actually just super cute haha])... but when someone says:
"I've only been impaled with them once or twice in the past... so they're pretty safe."
then I just lose it xD

Harry Potter > X-Men

2011-06-11T23:40:00.008-05:00

So... I found this on Epic Fail, but I don't necessarily see it as a fail. It's actually kind of a win. I like the Cyclops one best.

The only reason this is here is because I just saw X-Men: First Class, and it was awesome. Like really awesome.

There were some super hilarious parts, but I won't say them because I don't want to spoil the movie. :) You should go see it.

Since we're talking about movies, let me just remind you that HARRY POTTER COMES OUT JULY 15th!!!!!!!

I'm so excited! I love Harry Potter so much.... actually, now I want to reread the whole series. I might just do that.

Unfortunately, I'm leaving soon,

and I won't be able to take all of
the books I would need with me. I forgot to tell you, I think.

I'm going to France and Italy. :D

I'm leaving Tuesday around noon and coming back the following Friday. If I can get on a computer, I might post a few pictures for you (those invisible people reading the blog...) while I'm gone. I'm super excited!

Dinosaurs (and Wikipedia)

2011-06-09T22:54:00.003-05:00

Okay, I'll be the first to admit that I am pretty much obsessed with dinosaurs.
Why?
They're amazing, for one, they're also extinct, large, and generally small-brained.
But they're amazing.
I'd have to say that my favorites are raptors (specifically, Jurassic Park versions of velociraptors, which are actually closer to Utah raptors, but whatever), and I've always had a healthy fear of Tyrannosaurs. Recently I've read Jurassic Park and its sequel, The Lost World. I highly recommend them both, because the first two movies do not do them justice, really (and since the third movie was completely random and not good at all, I'm going to ignore it). However, The Lost World scared the bajeebers out of me when I read about the Carnotaurus. The way Crichton described them made me imagine that someone (like Professor X) grabbed a pot and was creating a formula to create an amazing dinosaur. They mixed in a bit of ninja, some cuttlefish, octopus, and chameleon... and then they accidentally added an extra ingredient- TYRANNOSAURUS REX. *cue explosions* And thus the Carnotaurus was formed! Using their ultra-super powers, they would stand still and scare off T-rexes and velociraptors and other dinosaurs because they could be virtually invisible. dun dun duhduhduh duuuh duh (haha sorry, I enjoy watching Powerpuff Girls)! Anyway, yeah. Crichton had me scared to death there for a while, but then I found out that he just made that up, so I'm all good now :] Anyway. I also think that Procompsognathus (compys from here on out) were pretty amazing, too... As are Dilophosaurs, Apatosaurs, and Pachycephalosaurs. Of course, there's always the classic Triceratops, Maiasaurs, and Pterodactyls... but some interesting ones I found were Gigantoraptors and Supersaurs. They just have cool names, really :)

Anyway, yeah. Today, I got Portal 2!! I've been super excited for this game for a while now, and I started playing co-op with my brother. I think I'm gonna play the first one again, though, just so I can play it all straight through. I think it'll be fun. Or maybe I'll play the second one, and then the first one again? I don't know. Either way, I'll probably end up playing them both before summer vacation is over. That, homework, and maybe a trip or two is all I have planned so far... it's going to be... an interesting break, to say the least.

I'll try to post more, I promise! :)

Sometimes, I think I'm dyslexic

2011-06-09T22:39:00.005-05:00

I was at Barnes and Noble and there was a sign:

COLLECTIBLE

EDITIONS

And when I read it, I thought it said:

EDIBLE

COLLECTIONS

Needless to say, I was pretty confused.

To go along with my dyslexia, I've also become horribly clumsy... Yesterday I kicked myself in the back of the leg and cut myself with my toenail. It bled a lot....

I also cut my hand on the car (getting groceries out of the trunk) and scraped my elbow (while getting into the car). I have a lot of bandaids on.

Anyway, that's all. Nothing remotely exciting happened today, so I guess I don't have anything else to talk about...

Kris.

In case you're wondering...

2011-06-07T23:11:00.003-05:00

(Which you're probably not, by the way)

I'm a Hufflepuff...

Yeah. You can take the quiz here. I thought it was pretty accurate.

Goodnight.

Kris.

Oh, and by the way, we had an awesome time tonight at our cbox party... We'll let you know about the next one in case you want to join us. :)

You know you want to.... it's fun!

Ungnhh...

2011-06-07T08:42:00.002-05:00

That's the noise I make when people try to talk to me when I'm sleeping.

This morning:

Me: asleep in my bed

My mom: not asleep

Mom: hey, kristin, you should go run with your brother.

Me: sleeping

Mom: hey.

Me: unh... what?

Mom: you should go run.

Me: time?

Mom: now.

Me: sleeping

Mom: it's eight o' clock! you have to go before it gets hot.

Me: but it's eight o' clock....

Anyway, you get the point, right? Well, this is my inner monologue while I was running:

Ohmygod, whose idea was this? I knew I shouldn't have gotten up. Why am I here? My ipod ran out of battery. I'm so bored. I feel like I'm going to die. Who thought running was a good idea, again?

Kris.

A long long time ago....

2011-06-06T12:58:00.002-05:00

(in a galaxy far far away)

I actually posted.

Well, now that it's summer, I can actually post again!

People always talk about junior year being the hardest, and while I'm not sure about that, I do know that it definitely was the busiest. There really wasn't time to post or think about posting. Sorry.

So... summer! Yay! I can actually stay up late because I want to, and not because I'm doing homework! I've actually been out of school since Thursday, because I didn't have to take any of my exams, but instead of sitting around alone for two stays straight, I decided I would go to school with my mom. She teaches eighth grade. If you don't already know, eighth graders are crazy, especially on the last few days of school.

Amazingly, they did not mistake me for a middle schooler like them, which is what usually happens, but I did get called short, which, honestly, is true. A sixth grader did make kissy noises (yes, kissy noises) at me when I was walking down the hallway, but that was the only really weird (creepy) thing that happened.

Today I started volunteering at the library again. It was pretty fun, mainly because I sat with two of my friends and made paper dinosaurs for the majority of the time.

Anyway, that's my life right now... I'm gonna go to Starbucks. I'll post later.

Kris.

Horrible

2011-05-27T18:38:00.002-05:00

Dear Reader,

I'm sorry that I haven't posted in forever. But you have to realize- school has pretty much been wrapping up these past few weeks... or month... so I've really been too busy to do anything non-homework related. Trust me, if I could have posted, I would have. But I've been up to pretty much nothing but school lately, and it's a nightmare. Now, with these last two weeks of school, I feel as though I'm wasting time. We're not doing anything. I go to school, do nothing, and come back home to do more nothing. And that's what's so horrible! I get home, have no homework, and I'll sit down at the computer and wonder, "whoa. what was it that I used to do on the computer before I got so busy?" and I'll draw a blank. I have no idea how I used to spend my time and procrastinate so much. Did I play flash games? I'm fairly certain that I didn't. Did I read stories? Probably not... Did I just aimlessly search Google, Wikipedia, or YouTube? I don't think so. What did I do?! This summer is going to be either the best, or the worst. I'll either find some non-summer homework way to spend my time that is so much fun, or I'll sit, bored to death, doing homework every day of every week. So, lucky you, I remembered, "hey! whoa! I actually have a blog! Let's post- that's something to do!" so... here I am. Surprise! I wonder if you were even expecting anything anymore. Probably. As far as I can tell, people think this site is too awesome to just not have anything anymore (and now you all probably hate the blog. Sorry for bragging. Or... getting a big head or something haha). So, dear reader, I suppose I will update you all on my life (since I know that you all want to know all about me, because I am so popular. [again, you all probably hate me now. sorry]). Recently I've expanded on my love of dinosaurs, developing a so called "Velociraptor Walk" and stance that I've kind of just fallen into. It's become some sort of weird habit now... and I feel like a dangerous creature. Fear me, Rawr! >:] yadda yadda. So... I've read Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park and highly suggest it to anyone who's a) never read it, b) only watched the movies, or c) a huge dinosaur fan and didn't know that such a book existed. Because it is a good 598 times better than the movie. And I finally checked out the sequel, The Lost World, and found a channel that actually plays the second movie (AKA: the best movie of the trilogy) on TV, so I'm excited. Hmm... what else? Oh. We dissected a cat in anatomy the other day... that was... interesting. I'm not going to elaborate, however, because I don't really want any cat lovers or animal rights activists on me, talking about how wrong that is because I don't really care. Oh. Today some cleaning people came over to my house... and when I got back, my room was a mess. And by that, I mean: messier than it already was. They had shoved all my stuff around, so I had to reset up my organized messes, and dust stuff off (there was more dust in my room than before, so my allergies are killing me). But whatever. I probably could've cleaned it, but I was lazy. Another thing: ... wait, no, I forgot again... actually, I just remembered. MEATFEST THIS SUNDAY! I'm excited! Another bacon explosion, possibly some kind of turtle thing... I have to go to some website called "Epic Meal Time" or something to look, I've been told. So... that'll be exciting. I have to decorate, too. Fun stuff. Um... I've gained some really awesome best friends, and we have the best inside jokes... that's pretty cool. I'm still as clumsy as ever, so you don't have to worry about that... well, you might, in case I die... but other than that, don't worry so much haha. Mmm. Two new blogs I'd started reading a while ago & then stopped, and kinda am too lazy to pick back up: The Problem with Young People and Cake Wrecks. Hilarious stuff, guys. Um... I kind of feel like that sums the past month up pretty well. For, you know, non-school related stuff. Jeez. For some reason, I've recently been feeling like every day is Friday and every evening is Saturday, because I just though, "Oh! SNL comes on tonight!" but... it doesn't. That's tomorrow. Yes, this is proof that right now, just about everything is a waste of time. If I'm not sleeping, eating, or breathing during an activity, then it's wasting my time hahaha just kidding. That would be horrible.
So, yes, dear reader. I hope you can forgive me for not posting for over a month. That was bad of me, I know, and maybe, hopefully, it won't happen again. But no guarantees. None. At all. Because if I guarantee anything, then I'll probably fail you. And I couldn't deal with too much of that sense of guilt. So... I hope you have a wonderful time until I post next, and please- be aware of velociraptors... or just dinosaurs in general. They are dangerous creatures and can definitely eat or kill you. So... read this comic again, and stay safe!

Have a wonderful life, reader. You rock.

Rian

Brilliant!

psst: Also, happy Earth Day, guys! I suppose that's why they were playing this on TV today... He's gonna bring pollution down to zero! :D
Except I never understood- Earth, Wind, Fire, Water... and heart?! Poor kid.

If only, if only...

Life would be complete.
Sorry we haven't posted in a while- it's getting to that time of year where everything's all due at once, and then there's a test almost ever day. However, next week is TAKS week... so I'll probably post then :)
Have a great week/day/whatever!

People are funny.

Seriously, this is just to have a new post.

2011-04-04T17:45:00.003-05:00

Yeah, sorry. A lot's been happening.... but nothing really interesting. I promise you though that we will probably have like, 3 posts up on Monday. Why?

No school on Monday! and that means...
... It's a craft day for us! On Monday we will...
... be making T-shirts!

so that'll be exciting. and we'll most likely post about that... even though it really doesn't have anything to do with the blog.
but yeah. sorry for the lack of posts!!! :(

So, I was typing that last post (about what I did in San Francisco), and I accidentally clicked enter before I finished the title. And the rest of the post, obviously. So then I went back, and I was editing it, but my computer randomly shut down the internet! D:

So now my post is gone... I guess I'll finish it in the morning. I don't know why it didn't autosave...

Spring Break!

2011-03-16T14:31:00.006-05:00

Yeah. So... we're pretty much officially half way through Spring Break now.
That stinks.
But it's been pretty fun so far... Kristin's in San Fransisco, so that's why she hasn't posted in a while.
I just haven't posted anything. Sorry.
But for those of you who care (I know there are at least 13 of you haha), I think I'm going to get my driver's license on Friday! I'm kind of excited. And tomorrow, an awesome friend of mine is coming over, and it's gonna be a lot of fun!
Oh. I just painted my nails like rainbows... and that's pretty cool.
Um, so... yeah. I really don't have much to talk about. It's been a pretty mundane Spring Break (if I leave out the hilariousness of Dance Central). How's yours been? I'd love to hear from you random people haha
(this is a lame ending. I'm sorry.)
Rian

psst: If you want to request a song for the Awesome Box, feel free! I'm kind of just changing it every once in a while, and usually it's just songs that are stuck in my head at the moment. So, yeah. If you have a song, I might put it up for a while (you know, it's gotta be appropriate, people).

psst2: I totally just remembered to put this on here- I started reading this hilarious comic called The Adventures of Dr. McNinja! It's super funny, and it involves: A doctor, who is also a ninja. That doctor's family. A twelve-year-old-velociraptor-riding bandito who grew a mustache out of sheer force of will. Ben Franklin's clone. Pirates. and much, much more haha :) give it a look!

Happy Mardi Gras!

2011-03-08T07:20:00.000-06:00

So, here's the story I was talking about a while ago- it's the story of a teacher's dreams getting crushed. Yes, while that might sound horrible, and it kind of was, it was still pretty funny :)

A month ago today, my English teacher (let's call her Mrs. X) walked into class with beads on and she yelled, "HAPPY MARDI GRAS!" Of course, a majority of us students looked around at each other, with the same message in our eyes- "Um... Mardi Gras is usually in March, right?!" But Mrs. X loves to talk, so she began telling us of how she told all of the other teachers, and how excited she was, and how if we were in New Orleans (because she used to live there), we'd have the day off of school. She also told us of her plans for later that day- she was gonna go to some restaurant and eat some crayfish (exciting, right?). And after about twenty minutes of this, she finally was ready to begin class.
Now, on the other side of the room (at the same time my friends and I were kind of looking at Mrs. X like she had cotton candy sprouting out of her ears), Kristin & a couple of other friends were being productive. One friend (who will be called "K"- and no, this is not a Kokoro reference, I promise), had a relative who lives in New Orleans and decided to text her. So, by the time Mrs. X was ready to begin class, K's relative had already texted back. So K moved to the front of the classroom (we were giving presentations & she was the timer) and said, "Um, Mrs. X? My [relative] who lives in New Orleans said that Mardi Gras is on March 8."
And Mrs. X's face dropped like a rock.
It was hilarious.
Many students started laughing (I will admit to a giggle, because I am a mean person) and Mrs. X became very flustered. She was, of course, very sad to find out that she was a whole month early (as a friend said, "I dunno how they celebrate in New Orleans, but in [state name], we don't celebrate things a month in advance," and "It's like being Christian and not knowing when Christmas is!" haha), and she had told all of the other English teachers that today was Mardi Gras. There was an attempt to make Mrs. X feel better:
Student: Aw, Mrs. X, did you wake up all excited because you thought it was Mardi Gras?
Mrs. X: Yes. :(
Student: Well... now you get to do it again!! :D
Class: LOL
... Obviously that didn't work too well.
And, just as a kid was going to start his presentation, Mrs. X suddenly stood up and began walking toward the door. She quickly explained, "I have to go tell all of the other teachers that today is not Mardi Gras."
As she left, we all looked at each other once again, and thought two things:
1) The other teachers probably already knew that February 8 was not Mardi Gras, and
2) How did her husband let her walk out of the house knowing that it was not Mardi Gras?
We generally believed that he was just gonna let her find out on her own.
When Mrs. X walked back in, she asked us, "Do you see the egg all over my face?" and then, as if we didn't understand, explained, "It's a metaphor." -__- whoa, really?
So that was a good way to start off the day.
Let's hope that today is just as great, yeah?
Happy Mardi Gras!

i hate track meets.
we were sitting on the bus because our coach told us to, so i was trying to sleep. And then someome sat on my face. I mean, seriously? Pay attention, please.
and then some lady yelled at us to get off the bus, so now we're standing outside in the cold, and i'm tired.
ugh.

psst: here's the song to go along with this post from yesterday: FML by The Failed Attempts (aka Kat & her friend haha)

Don't Ask Me How I Remembered This...

2011-03-04T18:38:00.003-06:00

IT'S SO HORRIBLE MY EARS ARE DYING!
But it's so funny at the same time.
And truthfully, I don't know where this came from- probably because I was watching this, and he is bad, and... yeah, I dunno.

What does red velvet cake taste like?

2011-03-04T15:27:00.002-06:00

So on the bus today, a couple of friends and I were talking about cake in general, when one of them mentioned how much he loved red velvet cake. Another friend chimed in with how much she liked it, and the other friend simply said, "It's just normal vanilla cake with lots of food coloring." (okay, in order, I will give the friends nicknames. The first guy is Talls, the girl is May, and the final guy is Fishy.) May insisted that Fishy was incorrect- red velvet cake is chocolate cake with red food coloring. Talls & I were just laughing, because we didn't really care. He didn't care because he just likes it and doesn't care what kind of cake it is, and I didn't care because I don't really like red velvet cake (it's like cheese for me- I feel like the only person in the world who doesn't like either [but I know I'm not- there's probably a few other people out there who don't like them, either]). So then Fishy and May started yelling about what red velvet cake tasted like, and I just said, "It tastes like red velvet cake," which got a general nod from everyone. So Fishy, Talls, and I moved on with the conversation, talking about legit Star Wars cakes, but May wasn't done yet. In the middle of our conversation, she burst out yelling that red velvet cake was chocolate cake, and then that it was a mix of vanilla and chocolate cake ("BUT THERE'S STILL CHOCOLATE IN IT!"). So basically, she had just googled "What does red velvet cake taste like?" and found that. She started reading things she found- and then she said, "chicken." According to someone on the internet, red velvet cake tastes like chicken. And to someone else, it tastes like coffee. And to another person... it tastes like something I can't say on this site, but it was funny :)
So that's what we talked about on the bus.

Lamest way to end a story, ever. (i'm sorry)

I think I need to stop telling stories, because they're never as funny as they were when it happened. But I feel that saying "you had to be there" is kind of rude. I mean, I guess it's better to try to explain it, even if the other person doesn't see the humor in it, than bringing it up and not telling them at all? Yeah...
But this is not what I was going to post about. I was actually going to post a different story... But I feel like it should wait until the actual day... yeah, okay. I'll make a future post :D remember those??? If not, um... well, there are some around this past summer, I think. If you want to look :)
Um, yeah. Now this post kind of feels... inadequate? Pointless?
well, here. Check out some Mandelbrot Sets- my friend showed them to me today and the fractals are really super cool! :D
Have a nice weekend!
Rian

Seriously, this guy's accent changes like, 4 times.

2011-02-28T18:22:00.001-06:00

But that doesn't make it any less funny.
And true :D
Just say "no way" to drugs, guys :)

I'm sleepy.

2011-02-25T22:35:00.003-06:00

That's mainly because I spent all day pretty much running around crazy. It was semi-fun.

This morning, I was in physics tutorials, and I didn't realize it was time to go until it was 7:28. The bell rings at 7:30. So I had to run all the way across the school, which is huge, in two minutes to get to English. With my giant backpack. It wasn't a very fun experience.

The rest of the day was relatively normal, aside from an annoying math test.

After school, though, I met with my TOK group (see the post three before this one) to film a movie for our project. And trust me, it is the most complicated movie ever. Basically, it's about how past events can affect how people act, and it's from the POV of this kid as he grows up. It's actually really cool.

What's not cool is the fact that it took about six hours to film. We started right after school, at 2:30, stayed there until about 4:30, went to one girl's house to use her sister for about an hour, then came back to my house to film the end. It was exhausting. But also hilarious and very fun.

So, just now I got two very nice reviews/messages from a girl on fanfiction! They made me happy! That's actually the only reason I'm posting... but a post is a post, right?

Kris.

I'm never going to answer a phone again. Just saying.

LOL.
This is so bad.

Okay, okay.

2011-02-18T18:33:00.002-06:00

so... it seems that we have fallen back into our "oh, maybe I'll post later"/"... i have a BLOG?!" slump. sorry. So... I'll update you guys on my life, since I obviously have nothing better to talk about. Plus, I just like talking about myself.
Okay, not really, but whatever. I'm sick, leave me alone.

So, way back when on Saturday, my TOK group met for the first time to begin preparing for our presentation that happened today.
Now, if you don't know, TOK is a class called Theory of Knowledge, in which we basically just discuss what we know and how we know it. So, yeah. Our project was over the four ways of knowing: Sense Perception, Emotion, Language, and Reason. Because my group was comprised of 2 reason people, 2 perception people, 1 emotion person, 1 language person, and myself (who is more of a "I'll use all 4 ways" kind of person), we unfortunately could not decide on a way of knowing and got stuck with emotion. So last Saturday was a day spent goofing off with my friends, being off (and somehow still on) task the whole 5 hours we talked (with me on skype with them for the last 3). Then on Sunday, Kristin & I went to the Science Museum to look at the dinosaur exhibit for a TOK reflective essay... and just because we wanted to look at dinosaurs (and yeah, we went to the planetarium, too, duh). In the dinosaur exhibit, I discovered that T-rex children were fuzzy & feathered, that there were such things as Gigantoraptors and Supersauruses, and that the blue heron is a living dinosaur! Also, I rediscovered my irrational fear of Tyrannosaurus Rexes- there was an automaton head of one slightly hidden around a corner, but because Kristin & I did not walk by the motion detector quickly enough, it wasn't activated. So I warily kept my eyes on it, and almost walked into some automaton of a long-necked herbivore with scary looking teeth :)
After we walked through the dinosaur & science exhibits (I found out that I have 19.36 lbs of skin, and that it takes 167 minutes to walk off a hamburger & fries), Kristin & I went to the planetarium. It was so super cool (except for the little kids who kept crying and screaming, "IT'S DARK IN HERE!")- we got a nice look at the universe via a 3D projection on the ceiling, and there was lots of random dance/rave-esque music being played. Saturn was described as "The Lord of the Rings" (which made me wonder if the LoTR world is in fact Saturn, and they just call it Middle Earth), and the four inner planets were dubbed "The Rocky Midgets". Yeah, I dunno. It was hilarious, though. And then later, the guy gave us a sky show, and inadvertently revealed to me that there is a UNICORN CONSTELLATION! O.O It was pretty amazing.
Then after that, I got together with my Spanish group, and we worked on a Spanish project. Basically, we were supposed to be travel agents & attempt to convince our whole class, in Spanish, to go to Mexico.
I went to bed that night about 1:35 AM.
Monday, I woke up at 5:15 (as I do every morning), and went to school. I don't really remember if anything interesting happened on Monday... but I do remember that I had orchestra rehearsal after school & then a chiropractor appointment, so I got home at 7ish and did homework until like, 12:14 AM.
Tuesday... yeah. I remember nothing about Tuesday. Must've been boring, and I even went to bed at like, 11:30 PM or something!
Wednesday, my friend and I went to a Mavs game! We had special tickets, so we got to go stand in the high-five tunnel (oh, that made me remember that I need to declare my room a "high-five zone"), and we got to high-five anyone and everyone who came down the tunnel. First, we high-fived some random girl, and then some random guy. Then some maintenance people came in with a table, some EMT guys came through, and some more random people. Mark Cuban (owner of the Mavericks) walked through, & he was all sweaty & stuff, but somehow smelled minty. It was weird. Then the Mavs came through, but they were super tall, and most of their hands were way higher than mine... but it was still pretty awesome. And then they won against Sacramento, so... yeah. I got home Wednesday night around 11:38, and I got on skype with my Spanish group. They then said, "Hey Rianna! You should do the intro. And hey, since none of us have publisher, could you make the brochure? And hey, since I can't print it, can you make the hoja de informacion (information sheet we got to use as a kind of wanna-be cheat sheet)? OH! We didn't make a powerpoint. Wanna make it?" so I went to bed Thursday morning at 3. But they helped me, otherwise I just wouldn't have gone to sleep at all. So I'm not really mad or anything.
Thursday was the day of the Spanish presentation. I think we did alright- since I was tired and bad at Spanish, I kind of started it off weirdly, but as it went on, it got better. But I'm pretty sure I got sick in the middle of presenting. Woo. Then, after track practice, I went to my friend's house again to work more on the TOK presentation, which, as I said earlier, took place today. So I got home on Thursday at around 7:20ish, and went to bed probably around 12ish.
Today was just okay. I was sick, and I was wearing a dress (does not happen often). We presented, and that was kind of... out of sorts. It looked like we didn't really know what we were doing, even though we kind of did. haha
So, since our first track meet's tomorrow, I think I'll just go to sleep in like, 2 hours. yeah. Sounds good :)
Enjoy your weekend, maybe I'll post at the meet or something.
Rian

Lazy Sunday? Most Definitely.

2011-02-06T14:34:00.003-06:00

Ah. All I've done today is listen to awesome music, and then I'm going to a party later :)
Today's been a pretty good day!
Here's pretty much the brunt of what I've been listening to:

Neverland by Bad Rabbits
Weapon of Choice by Fatboy Slim
Don't Let the Man Get You Down by Fatboy Slim
White Sky by Vampire Weekend
Run by Vampire Weekend

Also, I've rediscovered a band I haven't listened to in a really long time, so:

Electric Choir by Joywave

And yesterday was a "pretty music" day, so I listened to lots of:

Dog Days Are Over by Florence and the Machine
In the Morning and Amazing by Circa Survive
Mandala by Circa Survive
Kill the Director by The Wombats

Yeah. And here, if you don't know where the title came from: LAZY SUNDAY!
:)
Have a great day!
Rian

Psst: Here's a song that's been stuck in my head for a while: Such Small Hands by La Dispute

Oops.

2011-02-05T00:31:00.003-06:00

For some reason, I haven't been getting emails since Wednesday... I just realized this now.

I had 55 emails when I checked, most of which were from colleges telling me "happy birthday". That was kind of weird.

Anyway, being out of school has obviously made me forget to do obvious things like check my email.

Kris.

P.S. I added that picture of 3D dinosaur erasers so that my post wouldn't be so boring... It's still pretty boring.

AWKWARD.

2011-02-03T12:00:00.003-06:00

So... it's my birthday. We've also been out of school for three days now, because of the snow. I'm considering it a nice present, even though it's kind of gotten old now. There's really not much to do in the middle of a weekday.

Yesterday, Jason and I played with Legos for a while, which was fun, and Tuesday I went over to Rianna's house to work on some English stuff. Despite what everyone thought, we did actually work. After that, though, we drew grizzly bears....

Anyway, it is insanely cold outside. Like, it hasn't gotten above 25 or so since Tuesday. There is still snow outside, even though it stopped snowing Tuesday night. I haven't left the house since Tuesday.... Basically, I have done absolutely nothing since Tuesday. And it's been fun. :)

Kris.

2 Things:

2011-02-03T08:38:00.006-06:00

I totally messed up this post. My bad.

I have no idea what Punxstawney Phil saw yesterday, so... Anyone know if we have 6 more weeks of winter, or an early spring? I don't particularly care either way, but it's nice to be prepared :D So, Happy late Groundhog's day!
IT'S KRISTIN'S BIRTHDAY OH MY GOODNESS HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU'RE SO AWESOME AND OOOOH IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAAAAY

Okay. So, I'm done being annoying.
for now.
Yeah! So, Happy birthday to my bestest friend ever! I hope you have a super awesome day, and I will spam you in every way I know how to wish you "happy birthday" the most. xD It'll be fun!
Rian
psst: Peter- I think you were right about that bad luck thing... This is our third day in a row off from school! D:

Harry Potter + singing = awesome

2011-01-31T21:29:00.004-06:00

I really love Harry Potter. Actually, I'm bordering on obsessive tendencies...

Anyway, one of my friends made me watch this video.... A Very Potter Musical. It is awesome.

The funniest thing is that she only recommended it to me because the guy who plays Harry is Darren Criss, who plays Blaine on Glee, and she loves him. But seriously, it's hilarious. It's also like, two hours long, but it's totally worth it. I haven't watched the sequel, A Very Potter Sequel yet, but apparently it's pretty funny. So, those are totally worth watching if you have a free hour or so.

Also, a note to no one: I have no clue what I want to do for my birthday...

Kris.

Blast From the Past

2011-01-29T21:09:00.002-06:00

Since someone mentioned our background in a comment a few days ago, and Rianna mentioned our old background, I thought I'd let you guys see what it looked like. It's kind of weird, now that I think of it... The suns are much prettier. And I think we've had them the longest, too. I also found a picture of frootloops (isn't it weird that it's spelled like that?) and a random rainbow paint thing saved on my computer. I don't think we had them for very long, because I don't remember them. We also had a Maximum Ride background for a while, but I don't think I have that saved.

Man, this brings back memories.

Kris.

To All You DGD Fans:

2011-01-29T20:48:00.003-06:00

Have you listened to their new song?! (if you haven't, click here)
I really don't know what to think about it right now.
I feel like it's a good song, but I don't really feel that it's... Dance Gavin Dance, ya know? I've been listening to it and various DTBM songs (Alex English, And I Told Them I Invented Times New Roman, etc), and I don't really feel like it captures the essence of what they've established over the past 5 years :( On the other hand, I do enjoy the song a bit, and (probably just because it's been stuck in my head for the past two days) the music kind of makes me think of Tides of Man's Not My Love 2. [upon further inspection, I don't know how I made that connection. It's purely based off the fact that ToM has been stuck in my head & that's somehow gotten mixed in to the constant playing of DTBM and Heat Seeking Ghost... sorry. I'm weird]
But... I mean I guess it's kind of similar in some ways... like the guitar? I dunno. I'm really bad at listening to music & critiquing it. Whoa. Critiquing looks like a weird word. I like criticizing better. But then that looks weird, too... ANYWAY. Yeah. I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to getting DTBM2 as much as I was looking forward to get Happiness- the one DGD album I can actually listen to all the songs constantly. Don't get me wrong- Whatever I Say is Royal Ocean, Death Star, and DTBM1 are all awesome albums. I just don't like a few of the songs on them, ya know? But I really like Happiness... and it saddened me when I found out the Kurt left. :(
But anyway, all you fan people should totally tell me what you think about the new song, and how you think the album's gonna be! :D I wanna know what other people think!
Sorry for getting off track...
Rian :)

OH MY GOODNESS

2011-01-24T19:48:00.002-06:00

I'm swamped with stuff... kind of. Anyone know what the YES Competition is? I have to write an essay for that. 15 pages in 3 days + extensive research... I can do it!

Anyhow. Today is apparently "funny awesome comics day!" so here are two of them:

Kids' Names - ASP
(run the mouse over the comic for the alternate text, and on the top right corner, just outside the comic, is the hidden comic. It's also pretty hilarious.)

Na - XKCD
(took me a while to understand this because I'm being slow today, but once I got it, I thought it was pretty awesome!)

Yeah. About me being slow- for example, today I was kneeling on the floor, and one of my friends was sleeping next to me. I didn't turn my head, but I knew he was there, but somehow my brain screamed, "GET UP YOU'RE KNEELING ON HIS HEAD!!" when I obviously wasn't. I dunno. That probably wasn't funny to you. Sorry.
OKAY. Getting back to work now. Have a nice Monday night/ Tuesday!
(Also- for any HoppiTronic fans- if you didn't know, he's got a new album up, so check it out!)

Sundial Project Pictures

2011-01-16T17:44:00.004-06:00

yeah. so... I'll put them in chronological order :)
(the captions are below the pictures. don't get too confused)

Here's the one we printed off & put together (the prototype)

Then I colored it!

That's Kristin's sundial

There's mine (I know. My sunset area is a HUGE fail.)

Yeah. So, it took us a long time because we kept getting distracted, but we were actually more productive than usual, and it was a lot of fun.
Can't wait to connect it to a wristband and make it a watch hahaha

The Sundial Project

2011-01-16T13:02:00.004-06:00

Sun 1/16/11

1:37:58 PM CST

Prototype 1:
Click here to see the template we used. It's not the greatest, but it actually does work. Right now we're attempting to actually figure out how to make a real one. More updates in a minute!

1:47:53 PM CST

Found out that the correct pronunciation of gnomon is NO-MEN.

1:58:22 PM CST

Found out the REAL meaning of sundials. Note the sarcasm.

Sundials are fascinating scientific instruments

Sundials are a link with histroy

Sundials are a surprisingly intimate way to personalize

Sundials are a connection to the universe

Sundials are a means to live life slower (I'm not quite sure about that)

2:06:23 PM CST
Found North American Sundial Society. We should join. Or, you know, finish the sundial. :)

2:15:15 PM CST
Remembered that it was overcast- no sun. :(
Still making sundial. :)

2:25:02 PM CST

Found awesome picture of sundial with a nighttime side. Very cool.

2:38:18 PM CST
Starting to make sundial. It's been an hour since we've been logging our well spent time (more sarcasm). Pictures to be added later.

3:10: 27 PM CST
Making sundials in bathroom. Were going to use clay, but didn't work out. Now using carboard from leftover science fair board. Yay!

3:27:56 PM CST
Making the gnomons now. Having a hard time cuttign out shapes from the carboard, but it's not too bac. Now time for color and decoration! :)

4:00:12 PM CST
Lost track of time while coloring. Time to glue on gnomons.

4:13:45 PM CST
super glue didn't work trying to find another way to glue on gnomons. i feel like we're failing kindergarten.

4:17: 18 PM CST
SUCCESS!! We are done with our sundials and pictures will be added soon. They are pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. Plus, I can actually speak in full sentences now. :)

Beautiful

2011-01-12T15:29:00.002-06:00

click it to see the full image, because I need to figure out a way to get pictures like this to fit :)
Also, go to the website if you want to see the song lyrics posted as alternate text.
awesome.

2011-01-08T20:32:00.002-06:00

Quick question for any who care:

I was watching this commercial, and they listed "unusual dreams" as one of the symptoms. My question is: How do you classify a dream as "unusual"?

Because I'm fairly certain that I must have some kind of illness/deficiency/disease or something, because all of my dreams are what people would call "unusual". And aren't dreams supposed to be unusual? I've always imagined them to be merely excess imagination power that gets released while you sleep, too keep you from getting bored while your body & brain recharge from everything you've done during the day.

This calls for some research!
I'll be back with answers later (hopefully).
Rian

psst: if you have any answers, please do comment. It'll make me happy. :)

Sundial Project Update #1

2011-01-07T16:59:00.002-06:00

So, Rianna and I have guessed the time pretty accurately by looking at the position of the sun. It's actually not too hard. Still, sundials are pretty awesome. I found an interesting set of instructions here, though it seems like it involves quite a bit of math.

Wouldn't it be awesome if we could create a portable sundial, like this one:

So, the guy has a really hairy arm... but that's not the point. The sundial-watch is pretty awesome.

I guess that's all for the update. There's not really that much to be said about the Project right now.

Kris.

Stuff That Happened Today

2011-01-06T18:53:00.002-06:00

Lame title, I know. Ignore it. I'm tired, hungry, and uncreative right now :)

So, apparently, the Fn key on phones does stand for "function", which still doesn't make any more sense to me than it did this morning. "Function 's'= %" because that makes sense or something.

Also, today, Kristin & I had a hilarious conversation with... an anonymous person who doesn't read this blog, anyway, but I'd like to keep this person anonymous. Because it's fun to type/say "anonymous".

A: LOL. I was driving down my street, and this lady with hot hair was walking her dog, and my widows* were rolled down and k** was blaring Remnants of a paradise lost*** as I drove by xD
Me: Hot hair? Haha that's really funny :)****
A: it was like pink and black xD
Kris: That is pretty hot.
A: LOL. xD I wouldn't expect you to understand
Me: Oh, no. I COMPLETELY understand.***** that's why I said that.
A: Your sarcasm is noted..jeez
K: Sarcasm? I was being serious.
A: ....okaaaay. I couldn't****** sworn you said you weren't a lesbian...
Me: I'm not. I was being sarcastic about not being sarcastic. Jeez. Get with the program.
A: uhhhh..
K: That was sarcasm too... Except the lesbian part. Sorry if you got confused.
A: whaaa?
Me: How are you still confused? I just cleared everything up for you :)
A: you like girls?*******
Me: NO.

okay, time for all of the notes (because no, the asterisks were not actually in the conversation)
*- i'm pretty sure anonymous meant wiNdows, not widows.
**- k= I. Anonymous has problems with spelling. and typing. :)
***- Remnants of a Paradise Lost is an album by Monomate (known at the time as Impatient Outpatient)
****- I did not understand how the song pertained to the situation, nor did I understand how the situation was funny. The hot hair comment made me giggle, though, because it sounds hilarious.
*****- once again, sarcasm. thus anonymous' comment.
******- and again, anonymous has problems with typing. I'm pretty sure this person meant could've, not couldn't. Because "couldn't" doesn't make any sense in that comment.
*******- this is just anonymous being stupid. We had already cleared this up. At least 3 times before this conversation... I dunno why anonymous is so obsessed with this topic. -__-

yeah. If it wasn't funny to you... sorry, I guess. It was pretty funny when it happened :)
And now I'm hungry. And I have homework. So I should start working. Mnleh.
Have a wonderful rest of your Thursday/ Friday!
Rian

Gnomon

2011-01-05T21:34:00.002-06:00

Apparently, a gnomon is the pointer on the sundial. I learned this from my extensive (not really) research on the easiest way to create a sundial. Uh... if you don't know what a sundial is, here's a nice picture. It's basically a device used to tell time based on the position of the sun in the sky.

Rianna and I planned to make sundials on the next day we have don't have school, which is January 17th, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. More updates on the "Sundial Project" then.

Also, if you want to know how to tell time by the sun without a sundial, here's a nice picture guide thing.

It's pretty helpful. Also, this is assuming that the sun rises and sets at 6 a.m. and p.m. respectively. It doesn't seem to hard to understand, but I guess I'll have to try it before I say anything definite.

Once I figure out what method we're using for the "Sundial Project", I'll post it so you can build one with us! As long as you carry it around in your pocket, you'll always know the time! Unless, of course, if it's dark... I wonder if they work by the light of the moon. I'll have to look that up too.

So, stay tuned for "Sundial Project" updates! I'll post soon. :)

Kris.

Me, too.

2011-01-05T20:53:00.003-06:00

Today, Kristin and I decided that we are definitely going to learn how to tell time by the sun's position in the sky, because somehow, track practice was two hours today. Horrible. We're also going to make sun dials. :)

Don't Talk About His Head/Neck- I Already Told You I Can't Draw.

2011-01-02T13:11:00.003-06:00

My brother has been dropping stuff a lot lately, so I started thinking about the term "Butterfingers". It's kind of an odd term, really- so I drew a picture. And started thinking about the pros & cons of having fingers made out of butter.
Pros:

The common torture of cutting off fingers would do you no harm other than making some fingers shorter than the others.
If you ran out of butter, you could just cook with your fingers.
If you get stuck between two walls or something, you can always rub the walls and make them slick so you can get out.
If you get hungry, you can eat your fingers.

Cons:

You couldn't touch anything without getting it buttery.
You could not live in places with warm temperatures ever.
Bugs/Rodents would eat your fingers.
You would never be able to wash your hands.
You could easily lose a finger & not notice.
Apparently your neck will be like that of a giraffe.
You would be stuck with the nickname "Butterfingers" for the rest of your life.
You'd have a hard time holding on to things.
You couldn't do any work that requires precision.
You would probably always be buttery.

Obviously, there are more cons than pros, which is probably why none of us actually HAVE butter for fingers. If you do, I'm so sorry.
If you can think of any other pros or cons, feel free to comment! :)

First Day of 2011

2011-01-01T17:24:00.002-06:00

I did nothing.

Actually, that's not true. I did put together a bookshelf cd rack thing. It wasn't fun, and it took like three hours.

Other than that, though, I did nothing.

I hope your New Year's Day was more productive than mine.

Anyway, here's a comic:

Kris.

Happy New Year, Guys

2011-01-01T10:30:00.004-06:00

Maybe this will help us all remember.
Also, sorry if you can't read my handwriting. I pretty much just woke up, so it kind of sucks, and it probably doesn't help that I don't dot my i's. Don't get mad- years of taking notes have shown me that not dotting your i's saves a good second or so, in which you could be writing other things. If you get really intricate & like, dot your i's with hearts or stars or something, I'm sorry. It's your own fault if you miss important notes :)
Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful 2011, and may it be filled with many good things! :D
Rian
psst: If you can't tell, last night I watched Fantastic Mr. Fox, one of the most hilarious movies I've ever seen (now I just have to read the book again, because I don't remember Kristofferson or Ash at all), so that's where the "what the cuss" comes from. :)

Remember Cedric Diggory

2010-12-31T21:34:00.002-06:00

In case you can't tell, I just finished watching the fourth Harry Potter movie, and I am not ashamed to say that I cried when Cedric Diggory died. I also have to say that I am most definitely Team Cedric Diggory. Sorry Edward. Anyway, I like how this person put it:

Yeah...Robert Pattinson is kind of weird. It's like his coolness died with Cedric.

So, anyway... HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I know it's not yet, but I'm probably not going to be posting around midnight, since I stayed up super late last night, so I figured I'd better say it now.

Also, here's the next comic:

By the way, since I don't think I mentioned this, I wrote and drew the comics very messily, and Rianna copied and colored these nice pretty versions you're looking at.

Maybe I'll post the originals if you laugh at my comics...

Just kidding. Though I would love it if we got some nice comments... Actually, you should just comment on Rianna's stuff since she has actually posted for the past three months or so...

I guess that's it. I don't really have anything else to say right now, other than the fact that I'm bored out of my mind and there's no grass to watch grow. speaking of, there was a watching paint dry website made by the same people, but since the paint finished drying, the webcam isn't going anymore. You can watch the videos of it here, though.

Kris.

Trust Me.

2010-12-31T18:33:00.006-06:00

Thanks, Kristin.
I'm bored out of my mind, so I went to the grass growing website... and all I see is snow. It's not even snowing- there's just snow sitting on the ground.
It did not help.
So I drew that. :)
Rian

psst: Kristin told me to add the second one, so I did. It's true, though :)

psst2: Here's something interesting to read! It's about an asteroid that I heard about in this song :) And, I'm happy to say that everything said about the asteroid in the song is true! :D

Letter From the Dead

2010-12-31T17:14:00.003-06:00

Just kidding. I am not dead, though you may think so, since I've been AWOL for a few months...

I'm been busier and lazier than usual, so that's pretty much why I haven't posted.

Here's an update on my life since the last time I posted (if you actually care) :

I got my wisdom teeth out
I got a car

My memory also seems to have gotten worse, since that's all I can remember.... Anyway, another list. This time reasons why I haven't posted:

Business Tycoon Online (wayyyy too addicting)
Delacorte Press Writing Contest (just mailed my story on Thursday... I'm scared)
Life
Homework

So, this was kind of my welcome back, please don't kill me for being such an awful person post. I'll post later tonight about actual stuff. Until then, I leave you with this nice website for when you are bored: a live webcam of grass (so you can watch it grow! :D)

And.... since Rianna has been waiting on this so long:

Kris.

P.S.: I will post some other comics later tonight

Drawings

2010-12-31T12:15:00.003-06:00

So, I have some more :)
Here's another one from last summer:
And here's one I just finished:
I've drawn this same picture... at least 10 times now, I suppose, and each time, it's different. Sometimes he's not holding any cars, sometimes there's one car in each tentacle. Sometimes, buildings are exploding, sometimes there are a whole bunch of cars exploding in the background. It's pretty cool. Also, I used my brand new markers to draw it, and I'm really glad with how it came out! Anyway, I drew it on the computer once, in paint, & here's how it turned out:So, yeah.
OH. By the way, I really don't want to copyright these pictures because that gets too legal and I don't really feel like going through all of that, so... yeah. You can use them or whatever, but please don't claim them, because I actually drew them :) blahbloopbleep.
Yay for drawing! It's really a lot of fun, even if you're bad at it like me :)
Now I will come up with more fun drawings!

Being Forever Young Sounds Like A Stupid Idea

2010-12-30T23:33:00.004-06:00

Okay, technically, in my time zone, it's still Thursday, so I'm still okay. Just a couple of things tonight- I got caught up when the neighbors (who are awesome) came over & we played on the Kinect, and also a game called Things.... It's pretty fun! Like... Loaded Questions, but without the questions xD Anyway. Apparently, the drawing program I got doesn't really let me actually draw, so what I'll do is make little doodles, take pictures of them with my webcam, and then post them on here :) Like, this one! I made it a while ago (last summer).In the meantime, I'm trying to make some sort of logo-ish thing for the blog, so we'll see how that goes.

Also.
Earlier, my brother started singing Forever Young, so I joined in. He immediately stopped, looked at me, and said, "Wow. I didn't know that you knew that song!" Me: "um, yeah. It was on Napoleon Dynamite, and it comes on the radio sometimes."
Aric: "... Really!? whoa! It's a Jay-Z song!"
Me: "uh, no, it's not."

So, just to get something straight- Jay-Z did not sing Forever Young first. Just like Michael Jackson sang Smooth Criminal first, not Alien Ant Farm or whatever they're called (i can't remember at the moment).
Here's the original version.
Here's the Jay-Z version.

I like the original better, and no matter what my family says, I don't think it's the same voice. It sounds like a different guy sang it in the Jay-Z version, but they insist that it's the same, so... whatever. :)

I made good on my promise- I posted on Thursday.
Goodnight, people of the world :)

"Dude. What's mine say?" "Sweet! What's mine say?!"

2010-12-28T18:06:00.002-06:00

Ah, I love that movie. If you've never seen Dude, Where's My Car... you need to. It's hilarious :)

Anyway, I'm sorry.
It's not really my fault that I haven't been posting- it's Winter Break after all. I'm hanging out with my family... and my new Kinect... er, my family. *cough*
Also, yes. I am kind of sick (truthfully). It's really annoying. Being sick, I mean. I tend to avoid viruses and diseases, but sometimes, I can't. :(

But anyway. My uncle got me this drawing program, and so maybe I'll try it out & draw some pictures for here :) I think that'd be fun! And then, if anyone even bothers to read this constantly anymore (if you do, I'm SO SORRY. I'll try to post more often. And I'll force Kristin to, as well- she really isn't as busy as you might think haha), then you can tell me what you think of my horrible doodles, or maybe give me suggestions of things to draw? I'm so indecisive sometimes, so it helps when you people tell me what you want :) so... I'll probably start that on Thursday, maybe! I'll make a note to do that.

so... yeah. Sorry. I hope you all have had wonderful holidays and enjoyed the Lunar Eclipse (did any of you see it?! I tried to take pictures, but my phone is very... particular about pictures of the moon- as long as there's not a lunar eclipse, I can take AWESOME pictures of the moon) and the Winter Solstice! I got a new camera, so maybe, along with my bad drawings, I'll post some pictures or something so you can compare computer drawings to drawings on paper :D that'll be fun. maybe.

Anyway... toodleloo!
I'll post for sure on Thursday :D
Don't die, don't freeze in the cold outside (don't lie- it's cold where you are, too!), and I'll talk to you (in a way) soon!

(if it doesn't fit, click it!)

So. Much. Fun.

2010-11-26T11:38:00.003-06:00

So much, in fact, that this ONE LINK deserves a WHOLE POST.

http://xkcd.com/826/

Go there. Click EVERY SINGLE BUILDING. :D it's wonderful.
So does the dude's comic- if you look at the top of the page and click where you see "Zach Weiner" in light blue letters, you can read Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. :) great stuff.

Also, another great thing to read (something I've become almost obsessed/addicted to, actually) is Questionable Content by Jeph Jacques. :) You have to start from the beginning, though- it actually tells a story. A brilliant one, at that!
Oh, jeez. I just went back & looked at the first comic (I'm on 761), and it's soooo different! And then if you look at the more recent ones... wow. It's all so much better!

Anyway... yeah. Sorry for the lack of posts- I'm trying to keep up with four Thanksgivings and birthdays, and I don't even know about Kristin, so... yeah. Sorry. Hopefully we'll be able to post more before exams start, and during the December holidays (I don't know about you, but I tend to get extremely bored during that particular break. Why don't any of my favorite shows come on in the middle of the day?!?! [frown])

Oh. And to all of you who had gone out today for Black Friday shopping... did you have to deal with this? :) I hope you were not severely hurt!

I hope you continue to have a wonderful week, and... yeah. Hopefully a new post will be up relatively soon!

Look at What I Saw on Wordpress!

2010-11-13T20:46:00.002-06:00

Um... it might be too small, for a change. D:
But you can still click on it to enlarge it, remember? :D
Yeah. I made an account on wordpress to join my dad's blog on there, and I saw this! It's pretty cool. I like how it says that Kristin & I talk about taking on the world.
Are we... superheroes or something?
Sure. Why not? :)
Yay for popularity & advertising.

Mu= -Ff / Fn

2010-11-05T18:47:00.003-05:00

I felt really smart because I actually understand this comic :) It made me want to finish my physics homework right now... but then I realized that my pencil is still in my backpack, which is in my room... and I'm too lazy to go get it.
Sorry, physics homework.

-Rian
(btw: the equation is read: mu [pronounced: Myoo, or for you Pokemon fans, Mew] uh... anyway. Mu equals negative frictional force over (or divided by) normal force.) :D

For those of you looking for a distraction...

Even though I'm insane right now... It's still funny

2010-10-29T21:40:00.002-05:00

So... I didn't get any dinner until 9, and then there was no more food left. So I'm just insane (meaning: I keep laughing at nothing uncontrollably [to the point where even my parents are giving me strange looks, which is rare nowadays], i keep twitching, and i keep making weird faces & noises [um... more so than usual] at inanimate objects), and I scrolled over a link to a website and it clicked even though I didn't click on it... and I found

THIS

. It's so hilarious... and it's on a loop, so I can't stop listening to it because it's so funny!! It cusses (poorly) and there's nothing grammatically correct about it at all. And there are a lot of words misspelled, as well. It's awesome. Listen. It's better that it's read dramatically, because if I had just read it, then it wouldn't have been nearly as funny.
Wow. I want to do this. I want to read horrible things dramatically like this guy. It would be greatness.
OH GOODNESS IT'S STARTING AGAIN!
(it's better when you read along, trust me)

Comics

2010-10-16T19:09:00.002-05:00

Recently, Kristin's been drawing random comic PSA things when she gets bored, and then I take them & make them more colorful & legible (haha).
But today, I made one of my own (it's really not all that great), but I think it has a funny story behind it, so I'm going to tell it (plus, this way when I see the comic later on, I'll know what I was talking about)

This morning at the cross country meet, Kristin, our friend, and I were walking to the starting line when from the speakers blaring Radio Disney, I hear "Living in a crash world!" To make sure I wasn't crazy, I asked Kristin & our friend if they heard it, too, and they had. Then, I hear, "Am I alive or just dead?" And our friend says, "Maybe you should see a doctor about that..." and we laughed, and then she goes into what that would be like and says in a deep voice, "Okay, what do you see here?" In a higher voice, she responds, "A crash world!" and we got a good laugh out of that (especially me, because I kept imaging it happening for real)

Okay, so it was funny when it happened. But really, isn't everything? Sure, one might be able to transfer the humor in a situation over into the present retelling, but it will always be funnier when the event actually occurred.
And for some reason, that seemed really philosophical or something. Meh. :) I guess it means I should do some homework or something that requires the use of my brain...

Anyway, later Kristin told me that it was "Crash World" by Hilary Duff... it's a pretty odd song to be playing on Radio Disney, but I guess it's just because it's Hilary Duff that makes it fine.
Yeah. I guess I'll finish this math homework. Blah. Goodnight!
Rian

psst: Is it just me, or does Hilary make you think of the word "hilarious"? It's close... Hilary, Hilarious... yeah, I dunno. She's not all that funny, anyway...

2010-10-14T21:40:00.003-05:00

Ugh. So, I didn't want to post the whole episode, but I can't find my favorite segment :(
If you want to see it, you'll either have to watch the whole episode, or just skip to my favorite part, FROG: THE BOUNTY HUNTER, which starts at... 5:13. xD hahaha it's awesome.

2010-10-14T18:09:00.002-05:00

HAH.
So... I just read these two hilarious blog posts, and you should totally read them!

There you have it, I'm multilingual (not really... Kristin had to tell me how to say "number" in French, but whatever!)

I Should Get An Award For Still Living.

2010-10-13T18:38:00.005-05:00

So... I think I had the best/worst day ever today! It was exciting/scary. If you don't care about how my day went... read for the laughs? :)

I got to school at 6:53 this morning.

Now, that might seem like an insane time to be at school (it is), but my bus schedule is ~~stupid~~ awesome and it gets me to school early, so that I have plenty of time to study for an upcoming quiz, or walk around the school pointlessly (that's mostly what I do, because at 6:40, there are like, 9 people in the entire school). Usually, yes, I get to school at 6:40, but today I had a substitute bus driver (I might have mentioned him before... he was my replacement bus driver for a while last year, and I like to call him "Creepy Old Bus Driver Guy" because that's kind of what he is... you get on the bus and look up expecting to see the nice [but insane- don't get me started on her driving] lady bus driver, only to be met with this creepy old guy all up in your face saying, "HEY! GOOD MORNING!" and, because it's only 6:10 AM, you just turn away and walk to your seat because you don't feel like talking) and he was being really slow, so I got to school later than usual. I walked around aimlessly because today 1/2 of the school (roughly) was going to take the PSAT. Before the PSAT, there was nothing interesting. Eventually the teachers called us (there were 140 students in my room) into the gym. I sat down next to my "twin", and we discussed ways in which we could easily get around the Styrofoam "barricade" between us, and then stuff happened and the test started. It was fairly easy, I think. Anyway, half way through the second math portion, I accidentally punched the table and cut myself... and started bleeding! It was insane. And then the test was over and I went to lunch. While at lunch, I was sitting with my friends, and for some reason, we were all sitting in a line:

Friend #1--Friend #2--Me--Friend #3

I was talking to F#3 when I looked up and saw a random stranger (known to me as Buzz Lightyear Boy [because of his BL backpack]) staring at my donuts, which were on the table in front of me.
BLB: "Are those your donuts?"
Me: "... uh... yeah?"
BLB: "Are you gonna eat them?"
Me: "... yes?"
BLB: "Ah, cool. *pauses* ... Can I have one?"
Me: "uh... no? Sorry."
BLB: "it's cool!"
And then he puts out his hand to do a handshake thing with me. It went: clap (or side-five, whatever you want to call it) clap knuckletouch (or fistbump. once again, it's up to you)
I willingly went along with him, albeit suspiciously (when he stuck his hand out, I moved my donuts closer to me). Then he goes, "Ah, let's do that again." and sticks out his hand once more. Consumed with my paranoia, I quickly took the donuts & threw them in my lap, then went through the handshake again. BLB looked sadly at me and said, "...You're smart." and walked off.
IF YOU DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED, HERE'S FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. WHEN HE STUCK HIS HAND OUT THE SECOND TIME, HE INTENDED TO SWIPE THE DONUTS INSTEAD OF GIVING ME A SIDE-FIVE AND RUN OFF. ME, BEING THE THIEF I AM, REALIZED THIS & TOOK THE DONUTS.
right after that, I felt so smart. And then I felt bad because I almost got robbed. Then, F#1 reached over and took them. So, naturally, I grabbed the donuts, but then F#1 started twisting the wrist that I sprained a while back, so I threatened him & he let go. At that point, I was scared that someone was gonna come beat me up, so I put the donuts away and left. Later on, in government class, I took out the donuts because I was going to share them with one of my best friends (not kristin...). You know what he did? If you guessed that he grabbed the donuts & took off, you'd be correct. I just kind of sat there with this face: D: and he took some donuts and gave them back. And then, you know what else he did? I had some "drug cookies" (the chewy Chips Ahoy ones that are so addicting that if you eat 5 in one day, you become addicted, I swear. It's horrible but insanely yummy at the same time), and HE STOLE THOSE, TOO! but then he gave them back (he didn't take any). But the damage had been done- I had been robbed 4 times today (twice of which were attempted). Then we watched West Wing and I was fine for a while, but I had to go run, so I got all unhappy. We were walking to the park near the school to go run a course some of the coaches had made up (they said it was two miles, but it wasn't. During practice, my times are usually 18-20 minutes, because I run slow. Today, it was 16:20, so... we knew something was up), and some crazy guy in a truck comes driving up really fast behind us and TRIED TO ROB ME OF MY LIFE. Yes, that's kind of an exaggeration, considering I turned around, saw the crazy guy, and then ran off so that I wouldn't get hit, but it was close enough!
Retelling this story to my mom and Kristin at a QuickTrip, the cashier guy added some commentary to my story, and it was funny.
Also, Kristin showed me this hilarious comic she drew out of pure boredom, and I'm trying to recreate it on the computer so that I can post it up here... But I might just redraw it so that I can have a copy and then have her scan it & post it. It's awesome.
So yes. That was my amazing/horrific day. I've decided that I can't bring any good foods to school anymore because someone's going to rob me (and not give it back). [sorry if you read this and I supply you with good foods... it's just too dangerous for me now.]
Yeah... okay. I'm going to the library now...
Rian (along with the "Still Alive" award, I should also get one for longest parenthetical commentary and randomness... Also- some guy on the radio said that Kristin and I are "Awesome... Awesome with an exclamation point." [only... he didn't say it very enthusiastically, but whatever.])
psst: this is really long. And this post script is not making it any shorter... :)

If You're American, Don't Be Offended. It's Really A Funny Song!

2010-10-12T21:50:00.002-05:00

Yeah... we listened to that in History. We also listened to this one... if you listen, you'll see that the Three Dead Trolls took some lyrics from this song, but changed them around to make them relevant.
Personally, I think both the songs are pretty funny... the first one is just humorous, the second one's lyrics make me laugh :D

A Special Post For Hannah

2010-10-07T21:18:00.004-05:00

wow. sorry, that title kind of sucked... it makes me think of this book called, "A Special Place For Charlie" and I think it's about a dog getting adopted or something... I don't know. And I'm too lazy to look.
Anyway, our great buddy Hannah is going through a rough spot in life (dude, something about this week is like, a tragedy magnet. This sucks.), so I decided to make a special post for her! :D So here's to you, Hannah!

So, you said you liked the comics, and I'm really not sure which ones, so I'll just put up a whole bunch! Maybe you'll find ones that you like :)

FROM XKCD:

Holy toothpaste in the suitcase. There are a lot of XKCD comics. Anyway, moving right along to:

Natalie Dee! (I'm just going to put the links for months, because they're all pretty funny!)

September!
July!
June!
An Analysis of the Itsy Bitsy Spider... I thought it was funny because I am a big nerd. Thank you English class.
May!

Mkay. I think that's enough comics to keep you busy for like... an hour. If you scroll slow and read slow, too. It's funny to think of how much time goes into making a good post, but it only takes like, 2 minutes to read it. Fortunately, I like blogging more than I like oranges. It takes forever and 17 days to peel a friggin orange, and only like, 2 seconds to eat it. Seriously. It's not worth it. But staring at the computer for days on end to make someone a bit happier hopefully for 3 minutes... that's worth it :) Anyway, moving right along. Here are some JULIAN SMITH videos (w00t!)

And a few more random videos:

Hmmm... I'm pretty sure I was going to put something else up here, so until I remember, read some AmazingSuperPowers! They're all pretty funny, so I'll let you read them as you please :D Same with Hyperbole and a Half (in my opinion, the funniest ones are in the sidebar, so be sure to check those out!)
Hmm. I guess that's all I've got for now... but I'll be sure to update it if I remember something else! :D Enjoy your Sunday, Hannah, and I hope this helps a bit!
Rian

This post was made in memory of Hannah's friend, Cayla.

So... This Is The Best Show Ever... Just Saying :)

2010-10-06T20:59:00.002-05:00

It's called MAD, and basically, it's like MAD Magazine in cartoon form.
Except I've never read MAD Magazine before.
Oh well.

For episodes, click the following (which are my favorites):

Star Blecch/ uGlee
2012 Dalmatians/ Grey's In Anime

:D haha I hope you enjoy them! They really are funny... but sometimes, you have to have a weird sense of humor like mine... hahaha
Rian

psst: wow. i started this a long time ago. and then there was pizza, so i forgot about this. Meanwhile, I have been trying to read THIS MAP. Thank you, Randall. I'm so glad he made that so that if you click it, it blows it up super hugely. I thought I was going to go blind from staring so hard at the super-small print. But hey- if you look close enough, I'm sure you can see this blog on the Island of Miscellaneous Blogs! xD (by the way, if you're wondering about the first one, it's HERE)

Julian Smith and Bad News (if you like some of the bands I listen to)

2010-09-30T17:47:00.004-05:00

So, I'm kinda bummed out.
Karate High School broke up because Paul was stupid and decided to become a zoologist. This was earlier in the year, but still. Click here to read about it. Then, I found out that The Fall of Troy had broken up, too. Just when I had started to like them. So that was sad, too. THEN, Kurt left Dance Gavin Dance. That one hurt... I'd finally grown used to his hair cut (that's him in the middle... if you watch this music video, you'll see). On the bright side, the line up is going right back to the original... but still. Happiness was an amazing album, so now I'm expecting Downtown Battle Mountain stuff again... (no, not just because now they're making a Downtown Battle Mountain pt. 2... no way.) which was okay. And THEN, as if to kick me while I was still trying to recover from DGD, I heard yesterday that Sky Eats Airplane is breaking up.* D: So I think sometime this weekend, I'm just going to have a party (AKA: Sitting in my room with my laptop) and just listen to KHS, DGD's Happiness album, and SEA. Yup. I think it'll be nice.
And, just to cheer me (and possibly you) up from this horribleness, here's another Julian Smith video**!

:D Awesome possum. Have a nice weekend (if Friday would ever come around -__-)!!!
Rian
*- After doing some research, I have found nothing on the possible break up. So... LOTS OF HOPE!
**- if you can't see the whole video, just know that you can click on it & it'll go to youtube... yeah.

***EDIT***
Hope is lost. I know a guy who knows a guy who plays for Even Cameras Lie, a band that played with Sky Eats Airplane, so... yeah. They broke up 9/26/10... too close to my birthday, I think. :P I AM SO SAD NOW, AND THERE IS A FOUR DAY WEEKEND HERE. D;

In Which Many Things Are Weird

2010-09-25T21:28:00.005-05:00

Yeah.
So tonight, my family and I went to Black Eyed Peas, my favorite restaurant ever. THE BREAD IS THE BEST PART OH MY GOODNESS. Sorry. I just had to get that out.
On the way home (yeah, I totally just changed the topic. sorry), my mom was messing with her hair. She pulled some over her lip, and my brother said, "Mom, I like your mustache!" so I was like, "Hey! I can make a super awesome beard!!" and proceeded to do so. My parents took pictures (at home), and they're pretty awesome looking. Anyway, that got me thinking about how I totally should have entered the beard growing contest at my school (you pay $5 and you get to grow a beard for cancer [yeah, I don't get it, either]) because I totally would have won. I grew my beard in 5 minutes. But anyway, while I was thinking about that, I saw this ad: And I decided that it was really sad that they can't even spell "Support" correctly. And I realize that license plates are weird with letters... but there are 7 spaces (sometimes more, sometimes less... i know that somewhere there are only 4 because the population is so tiny, but still)... yeah.
totally pointless post.
Oh well. The blog seems lonely to me. No one's commented in forever. If you're reading this, you should (please) comment just to say, "Hey. You guys are [enter adjective/ random word here]!" (please please). And then I'll comment back with a, "Thanks for being awesome and commenting! [enter laughter and actual response to your comment here]!" Yeah.
Okay. I'm gonna try to finish my homework now. (in Terminator voice) "I'LL BE BACK!"
Rian (is hyper for no reason. wooo)

Unexpected/ unnecessary post

2010-09-23T21:30:00.002-05:00

This post is mostly unnecessary... or at least a sign of my lack of dedication to homework... I still have physics, and i've basically been sitting on the computer all day. D:

I don't know why, but the physics is really boring and hard. But I guess I should finish so I don't fail, huh? Since I'm pretty close and all...

Anyway, today was Rianna's birthday... or is. It's still today. Um, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I wrote her a long, rambling card which you should come to expect if you're my friend. Actually, almost everything I write turns out long and rambling. Including random stuff like captions for pictures...

So, physics. I like the class, but the work is really hard and the book explains absolutely nothing. It's not so fun.

I guess I should get back to work. This post was random.

Kris.

This will be stuck in my head for the rest of my life. Probably.

2010-09-23T20:36:00.002-05:00

I'm Still Going To Act Like An 8 Year Old... Don't Worry!

2010-09-23T17:33:00.002-05:00

Yes. Today is my birthday.
Today was one of the worst days ever. (brought to you by: The Universe- "Hating you since the day you were born!")
PLAY-BY-PLAY:
I only got three hours of sleep last night, meaning I have been super exhausted today. Then I had problems with my English teacher (she hates my class, and therefore really doesn't tell us anything, and then she gets mad at us when we do things wrong. yay.), and then I had a slight problem with my physics teacher (she wasn't too bad... she just yelled at everyone to sing "Happy Birthday" to me, and it was weird), then I had orchestra (in which I had problems with staying awake), and then government (in which I had high hopes, but they were stomped on when the teacher showed us an AWESOME show [it's called "The West Wing", and it's like a soap opera for the White House] and all it consisted of was cliff-hangers). Then I had to run 2 miles, which didn't help the exhausted problem.
ON THE BRIGHT SIDE: I have some super amazing friends, so I got a cupcake, the best card ever, and a NEW BLOG T-SHIRT (!!!) from Kristin, a couple of pretty awesome cards from a couple of other friends, and... (the best gift ever) A marshmallow supreme. I hope you know that I was being slightly sarcastic. :)
Anyway, yeah. All of the sudden, the Boys Who Cry (from Spongebob) song got stuck in my head- you know, the one where they're all, "It's all about you girl! On your 16th birthday!" and it's kind of annoying. But it always makes me laugh because then I think of the song that Squidward sings, "When my tear ducts get issues! I can't use just any tissues! I need 4 ply! 4 ply! 4 ply, when I cry!" xD... yeah. I need to listen to more songs :)
OFF TO DO MY HOMEWORK!
Rian

Who's Awesome?! YOU ARE!

2010-09-19T21:56:00.003-05:00

So today, I was inspired to look at our stats...
some of the keywords people use to find us are "donut person", "a lizard called a swift", and "hilarious halloween costumes". The last one makes me a bit confused... Is it hilarious to dress up as the blog for halloween? I would probably laugh :) But I like how people remember my rainbow lizard and Taylor Swift and think... "what was that lizard? swift???? A LIZARD CALLED A SWIFT!" uh... sure, you guys. And then, of course, all the rest of the keywords involve Maximum Ride, which is probably a surefire way to find us, even though we haven't talked about that in forever.
Also- 30 of you have looked at my page, and only 19 at Kristin's. This makes me wonder 3 things: 1) Do people actually want to know about me? For real?!
2) ... Are you just looking to see if I'm mentally stable?! (after all, I talk to myself on here WAY more than Kristin does... she looks normal compared to me!)
and 3)... I now have 30 new stalkers! HELLO TO YOU ALL!
OOh, 6 people have looked at the page via iPad... though it was probably both Kristin & I when we go to the Apple store... haha and TWO WHOLE PEOPLE have looked at us via PSP. And neither Kris nor I have one, so thanks you guys! So many ways to find us!

ANYWAY, I'm moving on. This Halloween, I feel like dressing up like a velociraptor. I'm not sure how it would work... but the idea just popped into my head. And now I can't get it out. I'll just walk up to people in my velociraptor costume, and I'll be the scariest thing on the streets! Maybe this year, I'll bring a camera & take pictures with random neighbors who have awesome costumes. I could be like, the ULTIMATE FANPERSON! xD pahaha
And in other news, I kind of feel like drawing pictures. And posting them on here. There are many things wrong with this, being: 1) I can't really draw... I can pretend, and I make things look "cute" [according to people], but I don't think I have much drawing ability. 2) I'm not very funny (when I try, at least), so my drawings would probably suck and make no sense to anyone. and 3) i'm currently reading THIS HILARIOUS BLOG YOU SHOULD TOTALLY READ, so I'll feel like a copy cat.
Therefore, no pictures. Unless you want pictures. Then maybe I'll draw some every once in a while, when I have time :) I think it would be fun.
Blah, I guess I need to get back to rewriting this song (total cheese, I don't really like it all that much, sorry- but the video is hilarious!)... so... I'll be back later! Don't worry (if you have been)- neither of us are dead! We'll post every once in a while! When we get the chance... maybe... hahaha just kidding, we will.

I Just Kind of Died Inside...

So... I heard that they're remaking Back to the Future, one of THE most amazing movies ever (if you haven't seen it... just go. rent it. Netflix it. find it on TV [it happens to come on a lot, actually]. You don't have to watch all three parts, just the first will do).
That's good, right? They're probably going to make it better, right?!

WRONG.

Apparently, Marty McFly is going to be played by [shudder] JUSTIN FRIGGIN BEIBER D: I almost cried when I heard that. I think there needs to be a petition or something... I would really rather them not totally destroy a super awesome movie with... him. This is kind of a repeat with what happened to the Karate Kid... The remake was stupid (or at least, it looked that way- I didn't go see it). WHY DO ALL THE GOOD MOVIES HAVE TO BE REMADE?! Just leave them alone (Leave Miss Teen South Carolina alone! hahaha)
So yeah. Let's petition. :) If you make one and find me, I'll sign it. Even if I don't know you. I promise. :D
Rian, out! (i'll be back, I promise! The poor blog's been lonely)

psst: this petition should also be for a cure for "Bieber Fever". We can't have all of these sick people walking around our schools and stuff :P haha
And yes, I do realize that I've spelled his name two different ways. Personally, I don't like him, so I don't really care. Sorry.
