because i'm bored:

i am going to rant on the word "whose".

It's such a weird word! whose. i can understand "who's", but that's "who is" and that wouldn't make much sense in the place of whose, but still. i don't really know what makes me think that it's weird, maybe the "e", or the "h", but something about it just looks... off. I don't really know... it just does. whose. hose. sorry. i think it's the h that throws me off. I mean, you can't have the word "who" without the "h", then it'd just be "wo"... like, "woe" spelled wrong. wrong. that's a weird word too. i don't know. maybe it's just something about words that start with "w"s and don't have a vowel right afterwards. for example, the words "weird" and "wonder" don't look all that strange. But on the other hand, "white" and "whose" look odd, like, the "h" isn't supposed to be there, but they just put it there to make the word longer. I don't really know. And i'm going to stop here before I start ranting (again) on the subject of why anything is called anything. like, why is it called a word? who comes up with that stuff, anyway?! so yeah. i'll stop & talk about some other things.

It was really weird today... I ate an apple that tasted like chex mix... and thinking about ramen made me think of Taco Bell's soft tacos... and i had a random Christmas song stuck in my head... the one called... i don't know, something "of the bells". symphony? chorus? i'm not really sure. but it was stuck in my head, & when i told my brother, he's all, "Ding! Fries are done! Ding! Fries are done!" to the tune. actually, he was just weird today about songs. On TV, he thought these people said, "Get a shirt, that's your homework!" and it was totally random.

There's a battery in front of me that's about... an inch (10 centimeters) long and it says, "Extra Heavy Duty". weird.

So, yeah. In other news, I can't wait until "Where the Wild Things Are" and "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" come out. It's gonna be awesome. That, and "Fang" (the 6th installment of the Maximum Ride series... duh!). Super eXcited. Yes, with a capital "X" because I feel like it. Oh, X reminds me of two things: 1) Mr. & Mrs. X from The Nanny Diaries (super amazing movie, highly recommend it), and 2) ... *in announcer voice* SUGAR. SPICE. AND EVERYTHING NICE. THESE ARE THE INGREDIENTS TO CREATING THE PERFECT LITTLE GIRLS. BUT PROFESSOR UTONIUM ACCIDENTALLY ADDED ANOTHER INGREDIENT: CHEMICAL X *cue explosion* THUS, THE POWERPUFF GIRLS WERE BORN!

hahaha sorry. I watched that yesterday at my cousin's house. :)

So ok, I think I'm done here. For now.

Rian (is super bored, but knows that tomorrow she has track practice, homework, and an important phone call awaiting her... and she wants no part of any of it. too bad, so sad, i guess)

PSST: oh my gosh I can't believe i forgot! My dog was being weird today, too, and my mom said, "What's the deal, Pickle?" and I started laughing. She asked me what was up, and in return, I asked her why she called my dog "Pickle". Apparently, it's some kind of joke: "deal, pickle" -> "Dill Pickle". yeah. it took me 5 minutes, plus her saying the deal/ dill thing, to figure that out. so now i laugh at random points in time because of the dill pickles. it's funny.

I AM SO HAPPY!!

So, I went to the orthodontist today...and last time, you know, he said that if i wore my rubber bands, which I did, i would be getting them off next time (or, technically, a week after that). And so, today, the lady sits me down and takes off my...little round...rubberband thingys. They call them AK's, I think, but whatever. And she just lets me sit there....it was like, ten minutes, and I started freaking out. I swear I was going to...explode or something. Anyway, the head orthodontist or whatever looks at my teeth, and he's being all silent, because I guess these people are just TRYING to torture me, and finally he's like... "Good Job." And then he tells me about retainers and stuff (WHICH ARE LIKE 400 DOLLARS (!?)), and we go out to talk to my mom, and I'm all smiling, and the lady at the front desk, who knows me by know (I've been going there for FIVE YEARS!) is all happy and congratulating me and stuff. Yeah. It was like...a party. Except no cake. So yeah. I'm getting them off next tuesday. At noon. YAY! And then I get my retainers )not so yay?) the next week, which just happens to be the first week of school. Sigh...

Kris.

today is not my day.

Just so you know, this story is kinda...gross...so don't read it if you don't want to. But it's funny too, I promise. At least, it is to me.

So...the okay part of the day was earlier, at church, where I was sitting beside this girl who kept playing games. Her mom was obviously trying to keep her quiet, since she played a whole bunch of educational stuff. Anyway, that was the normal part. So...I was at home, and the I suddenly felt like I was going to throw up, so I started walking to the bathroom. And of course, I made it, but not to the toilet or the trash can. I kinda threw up all over the floor and the rug. And then I slipped in it. I was laughing when my mom found me.

So...it's been an eventful day. I'm going to go see the G.I. Joe movie tonight...oh yeah, I just read a super awesome Twilight fanfic....wait...maybe I already posted about this...it's called Sacrifices. Also, I'm reading a really awesome book called A Stranger in a Strange Land. It's sci-fi, and like, five hundred pages, but it's really interesting. Hmm....bored. Only two more weeks until school. Also, my orthodontist appointment is tomorrow! After track practice....yay.

Kris.

best fanfic ever.

Including the Maximum Ride ones...this one is Twilight and has been my reason for existing these past few days. It's that good. And I love it sooooo much. So read it. Click Here.

Seriously, I was crying for like, three chapters straight. And then more...and these chapters aren't short. Anyway, read it.

Kris.

Movie Updates!

so, yeah.

Today i went to see G.I. Joe (knowing is half the battle! haha- if you haven't heard that, check the PDAs [already posted]), and during the opening previews, i saw two pretty amazing ones!

The first one I saw I didn't recognize until the kid turned the key in the elevator of the Empire State Building. and that description probably doesn't help anyone guess what it is. So I'll tell you (not like I didn't plan to from the start...). The book that is FINALLY becoming a movie is... PERCY JACKSON & THE LIGHTNING THEIF! yay!!! & it looks like it's gonna be good- same director as the Harry Potter movies. I'm uber excited. :)

The next preview I saw I only recognized when a kid picked up a green ticket from an unidentified black car that said the name of the place on it. I didn't read this series, but a lot of people tell me it's good, so i'll probably try to check this book's series out sometime soon. Another book that is finally becoming a movie is... CIRQUE DU FREAK: THE VAMPIRE'S ASSISTANT! woo! haha

so... I hope you check these series out if you haven't already... and... enjoy your night/day? i don't know, do something fun :P hah

Rian (read the plot keywords for the cirque du freak movie & laughed at them... i encourage you to scroll over the "SPOILER ALERT" thing [because it gives nothing away that the plot summary didn't] and read it)

jeez.

i'm not sure what's up this week, but we seem to be having a posting problem...so...i'm posting. i hope you appreciate it, even though it's super pointless and such. So...i'm reading twilight fanfics. I'm telling you, authors get much more carried away with those than mr fics. so...you should go read some. um, a super hilarious one is Family Therapy Cullen Style. Yeah.....

Kris.

Some people will just do anything to add a 'y' to words...

like "Old Folky".
I mean, seriously!! "old folkies", of all things!! gah. my grandmother was talking today, and she said, "I'm glad I'm not in the Old Folky category yet." and when I asked about the old folkies, she said, "That's what people used to say!" and I laughed. of course. hah. Old Folks, Old Folkies. Not much difference, except for the random not needed y -> ies.
Rian (is not old folky.)

new meaning to: you had to be there

My mom and I are in the car, on our way home from Target.

Mom: -says some random stuff that makes no sense-

Me: Uhh...

Mom: You had to be there, in my mind, to get it...you weren't there.

Yeah. If you hadn't noticed, my parents are extremely weird.

Kris.

oooh...record number of posts last month.

Yeah, it was only by one...but who cares? Anyway, it seemed as if we hadn't posted in a long time, so I felt the need to post. The only problem is, I have nothing to post about. Except for the fact that I just read a really awesome manga called Otomen. It's hilarious. So... read it. It's on mangafox.

Kris.

it's a thug story, yo!

She knits sweaters in her XS white tee! check it, yo!

Rian & Kris :P
