New Year's Eve

Every year for New Year's Eve at my house is a party! Haha Now that's a good joke! Tonight will be consisting of my dad on his computer, my mom sleeping, and my brother and I watching TV. You're really missing out! I probably shouldn't be complaining though. Anyways, is it only me, or does it still feel like October?!? Yeah, it's just me, isn't it? On the bright side, I'm going to make brownies soon! Yummm... That will most definitely make this evening more exciting. 

Handshakes

You've probably realized the different types of handshakes. There are three main categories:

1) There's the "squeeze your hand until you die of suffocation" handshake.

2) There is the normal handshake where you squeeze firmly but gently. Very professional.

3) Then there's the wimpy handshake where you feel like you'll break their hand if you touch it at all. That could get awkward fast.

Hmm...which one's yours?

You Can Say...

...something a certain way and it could mean totally different things. For example, the question: You are with her? Changing up the emphasis now:

1. YOU are with her? (clearly you aren't the favorite choice)

2. You ARE with her? (surprised at the situation)

3. You are WITH her? (surprised at the outcome of the situation)

4. You are with HER? (clearly your choice of the person is surprising)

Do you see what I mean? All different meanings with the  same  words.  Pretty cool actually.

Apparently

I have a talent for recognizing people. I was watching an old show with a woman in it, and realized that it was the same woman years later from a more recent show. I even proved it! My sister got a little creeped out, but I love finding out stuff like that.

Skittles

Yes. I am writing a post about skittles. So anyways, doesn't everyone hate the yellow and green skittles?? But you still try them anyways.."Maybe it'll taste better than last time!" *tries it* "Eww! Never again!" They taste like chemicals used to clean gas station bathrooms...bleh.. But, you can't forget about the red skittles. Mmm..It's like a party consisting of artificial fruit flavor in my mouth! This is the good life, my friends.

When...

You see or hear something shocking, your jaw drops, and you can't seem to shut it. Or when you laugh so hard you can't stop smiling.

It's Amazing...

How one person can effect the people around him/her. I went to a fast food place the other day with my two friends and noticed how nice this lady was at the counter. She was very caring and just happy. Then we sat down and while I was thinking about how nice and rare that was, one of my friends was like, "She's so nice!" And my other friend said, "That's what I was about to say!" We were  all thinking about how nice she was, and just because of her positive attitude, she influenced people around her. I find that so amazing.

Best Buy

Well, I was waiting in the car for my dad who said, "I'll be in and out!" five hours ago, and since I don't have a life,  I figured that I should observe the people going into the store. You'd be surprised at the kind of people that go into an electronics store. There was a man in a mariachi costume...enough said...There were, of course, the normal people...gotta have some of those. Then there was this guy who didn't really have good taste in clothes. He was wearing skinny jeans, a graphic t-shirt, and the funny thing, a green tie. It totally clashed with his outfit! What? If he puts on that tie, the outfit turns into his "fancy" outfit? I don't know, you had to see it yourself...It looked worse in person. Sadly, the rest of the people dressed pretty normal..

If You Ever

feel like your the awkward one in the group, or the klutz, just remember me and think, "Well, at least I'm not as awkward as her!" But all joking aside, us awkward people should just embrace our klutziness and realize that that's what makes you, you. And that's not a bad thing at all.

I can't believe...

that I missed acknowledging that yesterday was 12/12/12! I mean, it's not like I would've done anything to "celebrate", but still. Now I'll have to wait until 12/12/3012....but we all know I won't live that long. So much for "looking at everyday things". For Pete's sake, I don't even remember dates.

7th Grade Girls

I never realized how annoying middle school girls are. Well I did, but I didn't think it was this bad. I was at my brother's basketball game and two of them were sitting behind me. Here's a sample of their conversation. Read it in a high, fast voice:
Girl #1: "Like, how many people were there?"
Girl #2: "A lot of kids."
Girl #1: Like how many though?? Classroom big or middleschool big??"
Girl #2: Like middleschool big. It's really big."
Girl #1: Wow, bigger than middle school?? Oh my gosh! Wait. I'm so confused right now! What's happening in the game?? Oh my gosh!"
Me: "It's the freakin' third quarter girl! Get your head in the game!"
No. I didn't actually say that to her...but I should've. Was I this annoying in 7th grade?? I sure hope not...but I really don't think so.

I

am currently laughing my heart out right now. hahaha :)

I'm...

Not that good of a person, but I'm trying to be better...and in that way, I think I am a good person..does that make sense? By trying to be better, you already are a better person than you were before.

Failure

If you think you'll fail, or think you already have, 
PROVE YOURSELF WRONG.

Facts of Life #1

Eating spoonfuls of chocolate-chip cookie dough can always make a day..mmm...

"Worrying Is...

...carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength- carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.”

My Exciting Trip to The....

Grocery Store!! Woohoo! Yeah...Sorry. I haven't been out much. Anyways, I was at the grocery store because my sibling and I persuaded my mom to get us some Gatorade. In one of the aisles we were passing through, there was a thirteen year old boy. Or should I say gangster? Baggy clothes and big, shiny earrings. Whatcha doin' in here, little boy? Looking for your gang buddies? They're in aisle 4. So afterward, my brother and  I scoped the place for Gatorade. While we were scoping, I glanced at a woman passing me, and I did a double take-KATE MIDDLETON. What are you doing here?!? Was it her, or was it her long-lost twin who, apparently, is still lost? That discovery was almost as exciting as when we found our long-awaited Gatorade.

Laughter

Laughing makes a day so  much better. If you ever feel down in the dumps or blue, laughing can help make your day. Even just a little chuckle or giggle can make you feel better. AND if you see someone sad, try cheering them up or even just talk to them. I know this sounds really cheesy, but it'll really help.
