Bumblebee

My dad just bought me my first vehicle ('01 red F-150) and it got me to thinking about vehicles.
Especially a certain vehicle that I admire so much for it being yellow, which is was one of my least favorite colors.
Bumblebee.
That is one car I'd love to have. I wish I could buy one, but I wish it actually came with a personality.
:/
I like Bee a lot. My DS cover is of Bee (see picture)!
I like him so much, that my dad even promised to get me one if I meet his requirements:
-get a "free-ride" (fully-paid scholarship) to UK

...Ouch. Sounds difficult. Though, I think I'll at least be eligible for one if I have a 3.75 GPA (mine is currently 3.70) and have at least a 31 on the ACT (I got a 29). 
Sounds like my Chevy Camaro isn't too far off!
:D
Now, if you don't know Bee, here's a pic:


For those of you who remember it, Bee has a little disco ball hanging from the rear-view mirror. Yes, I would have one, too, if I get a Camaro. :)

"J" Shaped Cheese Curl

Okay, so I went to Stacie's house instead of being home alone while my parents went out for dinner.
Guess what we played?
As usual, Silent Hill.
BUT, we started a new game: Silent Hill 4: The Room.
Stacie had to use a regular PlayStation 2 controller instead of her wireless ones, so I "allowed" her to play instead of me. (I was comfy where I was sitting. XDD)
Anyways, she had to sit closer to the TV and was standing up (doing something, but I can't remember) when all of a sudden, we hear this:
“WURAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
Stacie jumped and fell backwards, luckily stumbling into the chair behind her.
I...couldn't...stop...laughing.
Thankfully, neither could she.
We sat there for a good full minute, plus more, just laughing at what just happend.
It became the highlight of my day.
Well, so far at least.

Later on, Stacie and I got drinks and I asked if she had any Cheese Balls (my favorites snack when I go to her house). She didn't, but she had some partially-stale cheese curls. So we put them in a bowl and went back to the family/living/front room. Later, I started to put one of the cheese curls in my mouth and noticed something. It was shaped perfectly like a "J." I told Stacie about it, and she said "J for James!" (Silent Hill 2 main character)
I laughed and ate the cheese curl, then said, "Oh no! I ate James!"
She took her turn of laughing and told me about one of the game's ending wher James kills himself. Then she went on to say that they should have a "Michelle ending," where "Michelle eats James!" XD
Again, laughter.

Don't you love those times in games where you pay no heed to desperate cries of help?
In the game, there's this girl who thinks all of this bad stuff is just a dream named Cynthia. She calls Henry's (SH4 main character) phone and pleads, "Hurry...Save me!"
At this part, I was standing and had a good view of Stacie's front door. During Cynthia's plea, I noticed movement outside and followed it with my eyes. It was a bunny! Right after Cynthia said, "Save me!" I said to Stacie, "Dude! There’s a bunny in your yard! Look! Look! Look!” And, of course, she got up to see it.
Man, I love ignoring fake people's cries of help. XD

Other random quotes and incidents from/during the game:
1. “...but none of them is particularly interesting,” Bad grammar, Silent Hill 4!
2. “(You put the Book Scrap in the Scrapbook.)” XDDDD MAN, I love that!
3. Stacie says, "Who sits on their bed looking for a broom? If I was looking for a broom, I'd be walking around, not sitting down!"
4. “BOOOMM!” Stacie jumped in her chair and grabbed her...foot...instinctively to protect it from harm. XD
At the end, Stacie said it was my turn to play. Guess what I did? I pulled out my DS and distracted her with a storyline-video from Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days. XD
I'm such a coward. :P

Hadn't the Foggiest Notion

Okay, the reason for my title being what it is is even foggy to me. (Lame joke.)

I took this picture on the way to school this morning.
The fog, as you can see, was crazy. We could only see about half of a mile around us. Though, everyone still traveled a little above the speed limit on the bypass as if they were oblivious to the current weather status.
But oh well, that's people for you.

My dad's birthday will be arriving soon (not telling you when, you stalker people, you). I guess my parents will go out for dinner and I'll be home alone... :o
If you know any looney guys, send them over! I need to work on my contraption-building and "problem-solving" skills! ;D
Nah, I'm just kidding. I don't want any random people showing up at my house. I'd probably freak out and call my parents, therefore, ruining their dinner. :(

Random:
Yesterday is History. Tomorrow is Mystery. Today is a Gift. That's why we call it the Present.
I thought that was a pretty cool quote. :)

Finish of a Forever Unfinished Blog

I'd like to think that I'm just relaxing for the major amount of stress that I'll be in next week (AP Test), though, part of me knows that I'm also somewhat slacking this week.
And last week.
But more this week than the last.
I've waited to do most of my homework at school on the day it's due and I've lazed about at home. I think it's because I'm tired of school, homework, family disputes (which are ending, I hope/believe), and feeling like I have no energy left.
During school, my goal is to get through the day while being a good student. A second ago, I looked up from my computer to observe the students in front of me and the teacher. Right now, my definition of a good student is someone who pays attention to the lesson, is not distracted by their laptop,cell phone, friends, etc., and lets the teacher know that they are listening and that they aren't standing up there for no good reason.
I think I've failed my goal and it's only 2nd period.
(I hate it when I do that.)

But anyway, I-- (-insert stomach growl here-).
...Ugh. One hour until lunch.

BUT ANYWAYS--After school is over, my goal changes to getting homework done.
Well, I failed there.

...I'm sorry to not go with the flow of this blog again, but when I typed "failed," I paused and realized that this is a very negative blog and no one will be happy reading it (unless you are filled with joy by my misery).
So, I'm going to stop here so I don't ruin your day, too.
Good day, and if I don't see you later--good night.

Not What I Planned

Over Spring Break, my grandmother and aunt (on my mother's side) came to our house. They live in different states and came here because my mother's Aunt Nelly just had a stroke and it was expected of her to die soon, so they wanted to see her, or at least be here for the funeral.
When we have company that spend the night at my house, I always have to give up my room because it's the "guest room." It's the only room that doesn't have things that only I would want (like a bazillion Johnny Depp and Twilight posters...cough cough Joy.) So I temporarily moved to my brother's room since he was off at work that week. I was planning on playing a lot of games in there anyways, so it didn't bother me any.
Though, the funny thing is I hardly touched a video game that week.
In fact, I didn't even start Kingdom Hearts.
That week did not go as planned at all.

Instead of playing nonstop Kingdom Hearts, I played a lot of Rummy and some Guess Who with Aunt Angela. :D My aunt is loads of fun (like my mommy), but I never get to see her, so I was definitely happy to have someone to play games with. Actually, I beat her once in Rummy! We kept score on a napkin (it was the closest thing to us) and she told me to "frame it 'cause it won't happen again!" XD
And it sure didn't.
The next game of Rummy, she beat me by about 1,000 points.
But anyways, I pinned the napkin on the corkboard on our fridge to show off my 90-point win!
(By the way, that's my shadow. The napkin has not been used. :P)
Spring Break was not what I originally hoped it would be, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
...
Ok, maybe I would like to have done a little more homework.
But, hey, I got through it didn't I?

PS: I think I won most of the Guess Who games, so she was Rummy Champion and I was Guess Who Champion. :)
