Eating

2009-07-16T23:38:41Z

I almost fainted in Taekwondo today. I was too lazy to feed myself and I cleverly believed that I could wait until after class to eat. We were doing an exercise and I was so tired and sick feeling that I couldn't even hold a kicking paddle for a kid. After, I went to McDonald's and had a Big Mac, but now I feel so full that I feel like throwing up. :(

Lesson learned: It might be a bother, but eat regular meals, especially on days I have Taekwondo.

Harry Potter

2009-07-15T19:24:22Z

My friends and i were going to dress up and see Harry Potter last night, but everyone bailed, so I didn't go to see it. I was having a conversation about the movie with my bother and this ensued:

Him: I want to go see Harry Potter!
Me: Snape kills Dumbledore.
Him: Mother fuckerrrr!!
Me: It turns out he's good in the end though.
Him: Moth- ...wat.
Me: Didn't you read the books?
Him: I read the epilogue of the last one to make sure all was well.

He then proceeded to tell me that Harry hooked up with Hermione in the end.

Ahh Summer

2009-06-30T01:44:31Z

So I've just gotten over my own case of swine flu. The worst part was probably the fact that it was 80 degrees and humid out and I was running a temperature on top of that. It could've been worse, but I had the flu so everyone should feel bad for me anyway.

I still have a cough though. My asthma took my weakened state as an invitation to make me cough like a fifty year old smoker, which will probably last for the rest of the summer.

My family is getting into the swing of summer, which includes such follies as buying a go-kart and driving it around our nice green (for once) lawn. The go kart then promptly broke, which led to an hour of scouring the garage for a screw. It was like looking for the right foot to fit into Cinderella's glass slipper. It's still in pieces.

Another ¡super! fun thing we did was take the cover off of our heighth of white trash pool. Its all green right now. I don't want to swimming in it. Which is lucky because I've yet to purchase a bathing suit, and I'm too much of a lady (its not hot enough yet) to skinny dip.

Ahh summer.

Science and Taekwondo

2009-06-19T00:27:06Z

I finished my finals today! *cheer!* But I still have to go to school one more day due to amazing scheduling and whatnot. :(

Everyone was on edge about the science final including the class ditz, Flo, and the class clown, Kenneth (names have been changed to protect the innocent):
Flo: Neevles is really freaked out about this guys.
Us: Who's Neevles?
Flo: My secret pet. :D

And then...
Kenneth: Let's pray together people!
Random girl: I'm an atheist. ...So yeah.
Kenneth: There are no athiests in science class!
Me: Wait, what?

Then this little gem of a conversation as I was riding home with my mom from Taekwondo (background: I'm a white belt):
Me: So Master S says I'll be testing for my next belt in July!
Mom: What color is the next one?
Me: I don't know...but I'll be pleasantly surprised if it's black
Mom: ...I'm pretty sure it's not.

Finals and Videogames

2009-06-17T19:25:33Z

I'm playing Final Fantasy VII right now (instead of studying for final exams). I realized I should lay off the games for awhile when my teacher gave us the English exam:

Exam: *Uses 2hr time limit!* It's overwhelming!
Me: *Uses Panic*
Exam: *Uses essay question* It's super effective!
Me: *Uses compound sentence* It's redundant!
Exam: *Uses 100 multiple choice questions* It's super boring!
Me: *Finishes the Exam!*
Me: *Levels up to 11th grade!*

Also, after my exam was done, I walked home. It was 9:30. I felt like such a criminal leaving school early (school hadn't technically let out because the next exam period was my study). I walked the entire way home, feeling the glaring eyes of everyone driving by me. They were thinking, "What is that stupid kid doing not in school? I am very angry for no reason." When I finally got to my street, all was silent. Then, I heard an engine behind me...

It was a cop car! I was expecting to get arrested for truancy. "I'm too young for jail!" I thought, "I'll get taken advantage of and my innocence stolen!" (Of course I did nothing wrong, but the first thing everyone thinks when they see a cop car is that they'll get sent to jail. Everyone, even Mother Theresa). Then the cop car rolled by me. I was relieved.

Oh wow...

I just took one of those silly quizzes on Facebook: How Gay Are You?

I'm 11% gay. LOLOL foreverrr. Does this mean that Ellen Degeneres is only 17% gay? And what about Clay Akin? He's not gay at all, he's -2.5% gay. Yes. Negative gayness!

Also, all those girls you see fawning over Edward and Jacob from Twilight? They're 100% gay. Trust me people. I have *Facebook Science* on my side.

And speaking of Twilight: Do you know this girl had the gall to say that the movie killed the series? First of all, RPattz is amazing. Second of all, if anything killed Twilight, it was the book. I told her this and she scoffed at me. I then heard an ominous noise. High pitched voices raised in excitement. I scurried off as a gang of Twilight fans approached, squealing a voice only Twilight fans can squeal in, "OMGZ guys! THE TRAILER FOR NEW MOON IS OUT!! TAKE MY VIRGINITY EDWARD!"

When the first girl, who hated the first movie and would stand no discussion on such a distasteful topic as the New Moon movie heard this, they interrupted into gang violence. But not the cool gang violence from West Side Story where they run around snapping their fingers and singing, it was the boring gang violence, where they squealed at each other in their squealy voices until I went deaf and can no longer pursue a career in the rockstar industry.

In conclusion: Twilight caused the world to be robbed of the next KISS.

Writer's Block: My Biggest Environmental Pet Peeve

Littering, long showers, not recycling... What's your biggest pet peeve about the way some people (mis)treat our planet?

People throwing garbage out their windows on the highway. For a few reasons:
1. If you're just walking and you have a piece of trash that you don't feel like carrying, I can see the logic of not wanting to carry it anymore and just dropping it. In a car, you can just set it aside and toss it when you arrive at wherever you're going. Its not like you have to hold it in your hands.
2. Its dangerous. The trash you through out your window on the road could land on someone else's windshield. Or, as you're digging around for that Big Mac package you dropped in the backseat, you're probably not paying attention to the road.
3. Its different from leaving the water running, or leaving the lights on, you're actively making it worse for everyone around you because you're too lazy to find a bin.

Culture

2009-05-12T23:24:08Z

Apparently, I'm not cultured enough to appreciate classical music. I am indignant. I mean, sure, I like jazz (especially piano solos (Jelly Roll Morton, you stole my heart!)) but that doesn't mean you can go around getting all uppity about how you love J.S. Bach and Ludwig van. I know I shouldn't get upset about this, but I'm one of the few people in my family/hood/cirlcle of friends who has actually taken it upon themself to get educated and cultured, so I take it as an insult when people treat me like I'm an idiot. (I'm thinking its because I'm pretty laid back and casual).

But to end this post on a positive note, I just ate some really delicious watermelon. It was really sweet and now I have the sticky juice all over my face. I don't know if there's any possible way to eat watermelon without making a horrible mess, so I eat on the stoop.

Taekwondo

2009-05-08T00:27:01Z

i just got back from a workout. My legs feel like rocks.

Bikes

2009-05-03T23:56:43Z

So my bike is broken. The back wheel is all bent, so I need to either get a new wheel or take it to a bike shop. My mom said I could take the wheel off of her (old and broken) bike, so I just need to get around to fixing it.

Swine Flu Update

2009-04-29T11:03:02Z

It has been discovered, that contrary to the popular belief of scientists, swine flu is not carried by pigs, or people who actually have swine flu, it is carried by Mexicans, just like every upper-class white person I know suspected. So if you happen upon a person with the last name Gonzales or Ramirez, run away and call your local CDC.

Bioshock

2009-04-23T22:55:50Z

I finally got Bioshock the other day and played it. I'm normally not into 1st person shooters but the whole utopia-gone-wrong theme totally drew me in.

One question though: Twice I've killed a big daddy but there wasn't any little sister around. Has this happened to anyone else? (In case anyone was wondering, I always rescue the little sisters :D)

Hmmm

2009-04-22T02:53:01Z

I'm watching a fighting/history show right now (I don't know the name, and I 'm too lazy to find out). And it occurs to me that the only Asian guy on the show is the ninja expert. Does this mean that all Asian people are ninjas? Or are all ninjas Asian? Like some kind of secret club you have to be born into. I know karate. Am I Asian?

First Post!

2009-04-21T20:23:53Z

Wow, so its my first post on here and I don't have much to say. It's raining out.

Yup.

So I guess a little intro is in order:

My name is Adrienne, I speak four languages, I'm gay, I'm a feminist (scary, I know), I like to swim, and I know taekwondo (this is what should really scare you). I just got some pretty sweet looking shoes yesterday. They're Nike's and they're lime green, baby blue, purple and white. Oh, and I have two cats. One's name is Kid and the other is Randy. :)
