And I thought Hippos were cute....

So today I saw the two most disturbing videos of hippos I have ever seen. They were fighting each other and i was deeply saddened to learn that hippos are so mean. They look cute in cartoons but when I saw these videos, they looked like a completely different and ugly if I might add. Maybe if they weren't so ugly they wouldn't be so mean. Maybe if they had higher self esteem they wouldn't be so crazy and spray their feces everywhere which is another thing I learned today. This is disgusting but that's how they claim their territory. Anyway, I thought hippos were nice and pleasant but come to find out they are NOT!!! Does anyone remember the game Hungry Hungry Hippo?! That game was fun because they were colored hippos eating little white balls. No one tells kids that they are mean and nasty. This video is a commercial I just found....kinda funny....

Finally!!!!!!

As I was giving up hope on the whole prom date thing, I finally figured out who I wanted to go with. Hid older brother is in our grade and is a great person. And you may ask, well why didn't you ask him? Well i figured Donnie Faughnan was taken so I went to the next best thing...his younger brother Pat. I asked him during math on the calculator. You know how you can type on there...well I did. My teacher kept walking by, so I kept clearing and after about 7 or 8 tries I typed, "Wanna go to my prom with me"....He said suree....so now I'm uber excited that I have a date...now I have two more missions

1. Get a dress ( I found my dress!!!!!!)
2. Find Elise a date

Prom Dress:$300
Prom Dinner:$60
Limo:$80 per person
Having a blast with your friends: priceless

Lack of Money

So I finally was able to put money in the bank. I haven't been able to do this in months because I'm always owing people money especially my mom. Over the past 4 days I have basically given her $70. Thursday my sister and I went and ran a couple errands. Her friend had surgery so she wanted to buy a couple things for her. I purchased these things which cost about $8 and then my sister called my mom and said, "you have to pay Mallory back." My mom said this was fine. Later my sister and I grew quite hungry so we went to Taco Bell. I bought my sister and I dinner and spent about $7. Again my sister called my mom to ask if she would pay me back and my mom said yes. Then I decided to put gas in the car so that well so that it could be driven. I put $25 in that. I got home and had saved all of my receipts from my purchases except I didn't get one for gas because I paid in cash. I walked downstairs and asked my mom for $15 because I figured I would put the gas in the car this week so I only asked for the two previous purchases. Well, she said, "You owe me for putting minutes on your phone" and today I paid her $30 for the other half of what I owed the state because she said she would pay half. Well again she said, "You owe me twenty a week for insurance so subtract that, you owe me for putting minutes on your phone, and you put gas in the car." Last time I checked I wasn't responsible for feeding my sister. And just in case I haven't cleared this up, I work at the GIANT and make $7.80 per hour. I make about $100 a week. I somehow always come up short and my mom is always asking for money because I "owe" her. Well the distress that woman causes me and me taking it, is payment enough. She is always on my case about something. Well, tonight she said "Well I'll give you ten back." I go "Forget it, you're going to find something else to charge me for." Even before I had this job I had to pay for everything. If I didn't have the money I couldn't get it. Now I pay for my insurance, gas, and apparently for my sister too. This is really making me angry now and I almost feel like crying because the only one that understands is my dad because he hates when she takes my money. I'm 18 MOM!!!!! I don't even want to call her that! I don't make that much money and I'm always giving her money and I hate it because I can't do anything!!! I'm hoping to move out of my house and in with my dad because my mom is like the Wicked Witch of the West. I'm sorry this post is such a drag but I'm in that kind of mood.

Do you have to pay for all of your purchases? i.e insurance, gas, cell phone, or just things that you want

Are your parents as bad as my mom?????

** Again sorry this is such a bummed out message, but it's been on my mind lately.**

The worst sub ever!!!!!

So today I was in communications class hoping to see Mrs. Krieger and have my day brightened but to my surprise some lady that we have had in the past was there. The witch of all teachers!!! Mrs.Fitch!!!! That woman has more problems than most people in the psych ward. She prowled around the entire time, weaving in and out of the computers as if on a hunt for some teen meat. I was reading my packet to learn more for my analysis I have to write (btw I am not looking forward to that), and she would come and stand behind Steph and I. I was like "excuse me..go!" She bothers me more than Mrs. Petrish does who is another sub that I have had the unfortunate pleasure of having. Anyway, Fitch should have never been a teacher because as she was prowling around she began to ask us a million and one questions on something about cave men. Now, Steph and I began looking at each other like shut up. She told us to work and be quiet, and believe me we tried, but the woman cannot stop talking. She is worse than my mom...seriously. The best part about this whole class was at the end. Leaving her presence was a gift from above. That woman needs to get off the list of substitutes because she may have filled the spot of Mrs. Krieger but she is no Mrs. Krieger.....at all! Blah blah blah blah blah

A Poem to My Cold

Sniffles, sniffles everywhere
And not a tissue anywhere
I will not wipe it on my shirt
Not even in the dirt
( nothing to do with the poem but it's like an intermission..this is starting to sound like Dr.Seuss)
I don't want to wipe it on my friend
Because then my arm might break and bend
I am not to happy with the snot
Although that'd be cool in a knot
I am sad and grumpy everyday
So please cold, go away
You are my biggest enemy
And I always have to pee
They say to drink more liquids
But nothing rhymes with liquids
The Doctor will tell me to get some rest
But I think that my dad knows best
Vitamin C is the way to go
And that's what you need to do
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

So today's blog is going to be in a much lighter mood than yesterday. I'm feeling a little bit better but still yucky. I want to talk about the effect the opposite sex has on people. I can't talk about this from a guys point of view seeing as though I am all girl here but I can see it from a girls point of view. Guys are very interesting beings. They can pee with out squatting, they can laugh at the dumbest jokes ever, but the most important thing is that they can look at you a certain way and you just know. You know that they like you and you obviously like them. I feel this way about someone and I'm about 99.9% sure they feel the same way. But here's my question. Why is nothing done about it? Why can't a guy say how he feels and the girl be like "Oh my gosh, I feel the same!" I have told this person how I feel about them and they say that they like me too, but neither of us want to be in a relationship. How can that be?!? I am completely boggled by this!! I'm pretty sure the only person that understands this as well as myself is Elise. I have told her about him and she is kind of in the same predicament. Guys are so great (most of the time....when they aren't a pain), but why can't they just admit how they feel? I mean I'm not trying to sound desperate but a certain date is approaching (May 17th...aka PROM) and the one kid I want to ask me, hasn't. He likes me but said it's too early to ask anyone. It's in 2 and a half months for Pete sake. All I'm saying is, guys need to grow some b@lls and ask a girl to prom. We don't have forever guys!!
As you can tell I got way off topic which I have a slight problem with so, moving on. Guys have certain looks they give girls which show that they are interested. For instance, doing the full body scan or the head nod. All of these qualify as being interested. For when they look at you and they talk to you, they just make your heart melt. Sure, around their friends they won't be like that because they have to be "tough" but when it's just you and him, the world seems to turn on its axis and just stop spinning all together. (I'm not sure if any of my fellow girls out there can relate but if so leave me a comment please.) When guys get into deep thought they really speak like they are reading it from a book. It's so sweet and just makes you feel so good inside. Ever look into a guys eyes? They have the most amazing eyes ever. The guy that I was talking about earlier has the most amazing blue eyes. They just make my heart want to melt. And when you stare into their eyes, you find yourself lost and agreeing with everything they say. I will give you a for instance. You and your guy are talking to each other during class and then the staring begins, but not the gawky staring, just looking into his b-e-a-utiful eyes. He starts to talk about a movie he saw that you don't like but you pretend you do, well because you like him. He's just a-talking away and he says "Oh my gosh!!! The part where the car smashes into the huge 18 wheeler was my favorite part and then the hot chick gets out and she has tiny shorts on....Oh my gosh!!!!!!!!!" And then you say "That's my favorite too!!" Ooops....not good. Hey at least he thinks you have similar taste in movies. I think the eyes of a guy say it all. It tells you yes I'm interested or no. If a guy can look at you and talk that is good because he can keep contact and also multi task.

To sum up guys are amazing and just need to get the courage to ask a girl out already! What's a girl got to do, ask you herself? (I've tried this but am getting no luck. Pointers would be fab also especially from the gentlemen out there on how to handle a situation like this)

Under the Weather

So today I am pretty sick and don't feel good. At some moments I'm cold then I'm warm the next. Although my singing voice is in tact (kinda), I feel crummy and today I even pulled out the sweats and sweat shirt outfit. I had a cute outfit all ready to go and I had it on, but I wasn't feeling to great so I changed really fast and walked out the door. I hate being sick because I eat too much and I have to take yucky medicine and most of the time it doesn't even work. Today is kind of a bum day, so tomorrow or maybe even later, I will come back and post again. I hope I get better soon and anyone is welcome to bring me a nice hot cup of Italian Wedding soup, or if you can't get it hot Campbell's works as long as you heat it up for me.
