3-19-10 Maddie is birthday!

:D Thanks for the birthday wishes, you guys! My birthday ROCKED, I got lots and lots of monies. Ich liebe monies so viel! (Meaning I love monies so much, for Olivia). I'm going out to the movies with some friends tonight, so that's going to be super fun. I'm hoping to purchase a Pokemon Heart Gold game so that I can play with Basia :D and the rest of you should get HG or Soul Silver too, even if you don't have a DS! You should also get a DS! (And that is why today is geeky).
And, this is totally random, but if any of you have any nerdy video game friends who play DS games and play the game Animal Crossing: Wild World, could you please ask them to hook me up with some friend codes? It's one of my favorite games but I have NO ONE to play it with.
/random
See you guys!

Today is geeky because I'm reading My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead and wanting to go live in the woods and eat... woods food.

Today I learned very little, because I stayed home from school sick. But what I did learn was that if John Redcorn lays one unprofessional hand on Peggy, Hank is gonna kick his ass. That's right. I've been watching tv.

Disney Fact: Before Mickey Mouse, there was Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. He was a wildly unattractive rabbit, if one were willing to go find a picture of him. I would supply a link, but jeez, that sounds like *effort.*

BYE!

stuffs

So today is geeky because I'm studying Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley who was this badass poet.

Also, because GLEE IS ON! It's a rerun, but that does not matter to me.

I don't have much to say. I had a fabulous birthday. I'm so glad some of you could stop by. (ahem, MADDIE.) Suzie brought her boyfriend, who I didn't like before, but now I really do. He's very nice to her, and I can tell they care about each other a lot, and that is all that is important.

I got some great gifts. *pokes Bazi and my friend who will not be named.* I fell in love with the dance that Johny Depp did at the end of Alice in Wonderland.

I need to get back to work. This is the last week of the quarter and I'm STRESSED.

What else is new?

Ree.

Disney fact: the entire walt disney world resort? bigger than manhattan.

3/3/10 JETS

Before anyone asks, I have absolutely no clue what JETS stands for. But it's an engineering competition.

I think last week I promised a video the intentional epic fail we were planning for the egg-drop contest. Two problems: only two of my team members were there when we were called, and IT DIDN'T FAIL. I mean, really. A watermelon is thrown from a thirty-foot-tall bridge, and it doesn't break (although the egg inside did). Wtf. How is that possible? We got third out of eight in testing, though. Still, I was really looking forward to seeing a cottage-cheese-and-tomato-filled watermelong exploding.

Today's geeky because, dur, I'm at an ENGINEERING COMPETITION. I did learn a few things, however:

1.) 1 minute = 60 seconds. In one of the tests, they actually gave us that under the "things you might need to know" section. My friend Chase wrote "no way!" right next to it.
2.) You can cut a watermelon in half with scissors.
3.) Only about 65% of people will pay attention to you when you dash stealthily through the halls while blarin Mission Impossible on portable speakers.
4.) A group of eight people can eat a bag of pretzels, a bag of chips, a box of donuts, eight cokes, and a box of gushers, fruit rollups, and fruit by the foots in under three hours, while working diligiently on ridiculously hard math problems.

Welcome to JETS, where we learn wonderful, intelligent things.

Basia's tomorrow! Peace out.

Much Ado About Nothing

Today is geeky because WE'RE MAKING PLANS TO SEE ALICE IN WONDERLAND!

I'd like to write about birthdays today, seeing as mine is this Sunday. I don't feel 15 anymore, even though I technically still am. I didn't overnight just start feeling 16, like how I thought I always would the morning of my birthdays when I was little. Maybe this is due to some (mild) recent changes in my lifestyle. For instance, my friend Mackenzie painted my nails, and now I kind of like it, even though at the time I was kind of squirmy. I feel fancy. :p. Also, I obsess even more than usual over college.

I really want to go to college.

Fo' shiz.
Ree.

(Oh, remember when fo shiz was cool too?)

(OhOhOh, POKEMON. I've been playing like, twenty minutes every night. You always win against the wild pokemon, and winning is a stress reliever for me. I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH.)

(How I view the SATs in Poke-speak.
A wild SAT math question appears! Reese uses a calculator! It isn't very effective. The wild SAT math question uses Algebra 2! It's very effective! Reese fainted!)

(shamelessly stolen from failbooking.com. go there. live it. love it. drink your juice.)

2/26/10 Maddie has annoying brothers.

Alright, we're literally in the middle of a conference chat AS I TYPE THIS (well, Olivia and Maya and I) so I must make this quick. I don't think any of last weeks stats have changed except that MAYA HAS NO MORE FREE PASSEItalicS :D :D :D This excites me because if she misses ONE MORE UPDATE she has to do a PUNISHMENT!!!! And I have wanted to punish someone so.
Alright, today is geeky because I finished two books today, What My Mother Doesn't Know by Sonya Sones and The Treasure Map of Boys by E. Lockhart. Both excellent books and both important stepping stones on my way to fifty books this year. WMMDK is one of my favorites, too, but only hand-in-hand with its sequel, What My Girlfriend Doesn't Know. Now I'm rereading Little Brother by Cory Doctorow. Nerdy fun!
Right now I'm at my grandparents' house, using their shiny Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 and a built-in webcam and Skype application. :3 It is very nice. I wish I had my own laptop. :(
Okay, that's all for now because it's hard to blog and have like three simultaneous Skype chats.
Happy Friday!
Maddie
