Crazy Biology Professor :D

"That little Jesus Christ lizard, just flies across the water..." -Van Djik

Bayles

He's kind of crazy, and awesome. :)

"I don't believe in Palmistry, but if I did, I would let this guy read my palm." -Bayles

Ah, Franklin...

So last week at lunch-ish time, my dear friend Franklin said this:

"If you talk like that, people will punch you in the face...you should talk like that." -Franklin Palmer

And that is why we love Franklin. :D

Doctor, or Master

"I don't have my doctorate, so you can't call me Dr. Van Djik, but you can call me Master Van Djik." -Master Van Djik

Lame Sauce

I have so much homework.
It's not so great.
AP English might kill me, and my feelings about Yearbook are a bit bipolar.
Plus, having two science classes in one year is never really a good idea.
And then there's statistics, which isn't overly difficult, but I'm not a huge fan.
At least I have radio and Seminary to make things a little bit more relaxed.
Psychology, too, a bit. It won't be too hard, but I will have homework.
So...hopefully I'll survive my senior year.

Book Blogs Are Fun...

Biology

My AP Biology teacher this year is pretty cool. He's kind of got that mad scientist type look. It's great. Here's a little bit of wisdom from Van Djik:

"I volunteered in the emergency room Friday nights. Friday night. That was the best night, because people were getting drunk and crashing into each other." -Van Djik

Bayles...

"I have four kids. They're all cooler than you. They get that from their mother" -Bayles

Book Giveaway of Excitingness ;)

Psychology

One of my classes this year is Psychology. Acutally, it's just this semester. It should be pretty interesting. The teacher is Bayles and he's kind of crazy. I can't wait to see what shenanigans he gets into while messing with Newman. Here's a little taste of Bayles:

"I did a lot of things for cute girls. I studied Japanese for three years because of a cute girl. I took her to prom." -Bayles

Silly :P

"You have to stay in shape. My grandmother, she started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She’s 97 today and we don’t know where the heck she is." -E. DeGeners

Hahaha, I So Want to Do This

Graduation Speech: I’d like to thank the internet, Google, Wikipedia, Microsoft Word, and Copy & Paste.

Life

A giveaway of literature here. The end.

Fail... :P

"If it weren't for Edison, we'd be watching TV by candlelight."

Old Jokes

"We should read them all out loud. 'You are like poetry to my eyes?!?'"

First Day of School...Last Year

I just found this quote from last year.
Haha, Newman's the best.
Here you go:

"Everyone's like way more talented than I am. I'm like, 'I can, wear plaid.'" -Newman

Giveaway-ness :)

Giveaway on this blog. :)

Here's an...interesting book trailer:

School...And All That Jazz

Today, as you probably well know, was the first day of school.
I started off the day in a very crowded Statistics classroom.
It was pretty amazing though. There are so many great people in that class! :D
Anyway, I ended up with homework...
...Which I finished in Physics, my next class.
That class will be...interesting. Probably not too difficult, but kind of lame.
I don't really know anyone in there, but hopefully I'll survive.
From that class, I got a little bit of homework (although it was easy)...
...Which I finished at the beginning of AP English.
That will probably be my most difficult class.
I also got homework in that class (as well as "All By Myself" stuck in my head).
That work I finished at home.
I finished off the day in Yearbook. That class seems like it'll be fun.
It'll be work, but it will be worth it.
And for that class, I have a writing assignment.

So...I got assigned homework in all four of my classes.
I only have the Yearbook homework left, so I should do that.
Tomorrow I'll have AP Biology, Seminary, Radio 3, and Psychology.
It'll be slightly easier than today, but less friend-full.
I have Psychology with Matt Ricks, and I think Rachel Eldredge is in my Bio class.
But other than that...I might be lonely.
I'll survive though.

So wish me luck, with my senior year.
I certainly wish you luck with your (school year).

A Book Giveaway

Hey! There's a fun book giveaway here. So, I'm entering. Yay for the possibility of free stuff! :D

I love that movie. It's so ridiculous. :)
Here's a wonderful quote from that movie-

Walter: You give people the greatest gift there is.
Kermit: Children?
Walter: Second greatest.
Kermit: Ice cream?
Walter: Third?
Kermit: ...Laughter?
Walter: You give people the third greatest gift.

Brilliance

I miss my BC Calc class, it was great fun.
Here's a great quote from one of those days:

"It's always positive...unless it's negative." -Josh

Haha, dork. :P

48 Hours

That's how long I have left until my freedom is ripped away from me.
And by that, I mean school officially starts up.
I can't believe summer is this close to being over!!
Noooooooooooo!!
Anyway, sadness. I'm not ready for school work. :C

500 Days of Summer Quotation

"Darling, I don't know how to tell you this, But...there's a Chinese family in our bathroom." -Tom

Sigmund Freud: Why do you keep claiming I'm not Sigmund Freud?
Security Guard: Why do you keep asking those questions?
Sigmund Freud: Tell me about your mother...

18

My wonderful, dear friend Heather Armstrong turns 18 on Sunday.
Her party was this evening, and let me say: it was awesome.
We played games, ate cake, and she opened presents.
One of her presents was a pack of awkward promotional pens.
They were pretty great.
Also, I gave her a bag of Walmart: colored bubbles, candy, and an epic one of these:

And we played What If, which is always loads of fun.

Here are a couple of the best "what ifs"

What if Nathan and Jordan both found true love?
Then we'd all be doomed.

What if Austin were somehow more awesome?
It can't be, Jon's not dead.

What if Jon were president of the world?
That would be inappropriate, no one wants to see that.

What if Jordan were more like Jon?
Mmm...then I would want a bite because that's tasty.

What if you all survive high school just to find you have to do it again?
Well then, I'd have to shoot myself. I can't be exposed to that much concentrated evil.

And here are some of the quotes:

"I don't have 'am' on my phone. That kind of sounded bad..." -Jon

"I feel like I need to exorcise my phone like every three months." -Jon

Heather: Jon, you're having a baby!
Jon: Okay, I'm taking that out...

"Nikki violated the monnkey." -Jon

"Let's take all the cake and shove it on his windshield." -Jon

"Jordan! It's Will Smith, I love you!" -Jon

"It's strong cheese, it's not for the weak of tongue." -Heather

"I thought your shirt said fajita on it!" -Jon

Jordan: What's the opposite of it?

Gines: Jordan.

Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged

It's this series on YouTube.
I was looking through some old stuff (a.k.a.) quotes from it.
They're great. :D
Here's one:

"Yu-Gi-Oh, where bad puns go to die." -Episode 7

Psych :)

I haven't watched it in quite a while.
I like it a lot though, and pretty soon I'll watch season 6.
Yay! :D
Anyway, here:

Lassiter: Nice Shooting Detective.
Shawn: Did you just call me Detective?
Lassiter: No...

Isn't free stuff fun?

 I love giveaways, so much. Even if there is only a very small chance that I could ever win. Still, it's fun to hope, don't you think?

Here's the most recent one I looked at: 

A Warning Label

"Oh, warning labels...it's as if they're daring you to do it. Sure, jumping a tricycle off a ramp into a kiddy pool might not be the best idea, but it is mathemmatically possible, right? A better idea may be to pound this bottle It won't help you stick that 720 tricycle tailwhip, but the vitamin D and calcium will help support strong bones. Plus, the vitamin C will help your body make collagen, which helps support joints. So when your pants split and you're laying face-down, relax comfortably knowing you at least got some additional nutrients...but we won't be able to easy the pain of the 618,052 online video hits." -On a Vitamin Water Bottle

500

This is my 500th post.
How exciting is that? :D

Did you know that my very first post was entitled Harry Potter?
Pretty exciting, huh?
Not really actually, it was a pretty random post, with nothing really worth putting on the internet.
But still, that's how this all got started.

Did you know that when I started Blogging, I kind of hoped I would have many followers.
But...then I realized that most people I know don't care, or don't do stuff like this.
So then I started to pretend that nobody would ever read it.
But some people do, I guess.

Did you know that having a real follower (or two) makes me really happy.
I like the number that tells me that I have four.
(Even if one is a pair of freckles on my arm that I created an internet life for and one is something called Scholar Time).

So...500.
It's a pretty big number.

500 is...

• 500 Days of Summer, a trippy, but fun movie.
• The name of a card game. I think I've played it...but I'm not positive.
• The number of middle names a girl has in a book that I own but have never read. Supposedly.
• Approximately one and three hundred sixty-nine thousand eight hundred sixty-three millionths of a year. Or something like that.
• Half of the thousand miles that The Proclaimers are going to walk to fall down at your door.
• Quite possibly a legitimate sum of money on a single dollar bill.



Silly Books :)

"I thought it was keep your friends close so you have someone to drive the car when you sneak over to your enemy's house at night and throw up in his mailbox." -Jace, City of Fallen Angels

When You Need to Leave...

"Oh, goodness, look at my wrist. I gotta go." -Dr. Horrible (a.k.a. Neil Patrick Harris)

A Little Twist...

On that classic little bit of wisdom,

"Before  you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you critisize them, you're a mile away from them and you have their shoes."

A Very Potter Sequel

One of my favorite quotes from the musical itself, on Youtube:

"With me as your coach, and you little stallions as my team, there's no way we're losing to Slitherin, or Ravenclaw, or Jigglypuff." -Lupin

Fairy Tales

"Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." -G. K. Chesterton

5005

That's the number of page views my blog has right now.
It makes me feel kind of special. :)
Yay, random Russian viewers!

Agreed

"A library card is the start of a lifelong adventure." -Lilian Jackson Braun

Chess

"Romance is like a game of chess: one false move and you're mated."

Health

So...I've been working on online Health for the last two years.
And now I'm almost finished.
I have three and a little bit more assignments left.
Which is a good thing, seeing as I'm supposed to be done before September 15th.
Wish me luck!

Stuff...

"I'm about one bad relationship away from becoming a crazy cat lady."

A Play on Words

"By all means, let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out." -Richard Dawkins

Just To Let You Know...

"Birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that the people who have the most live the longest."

And The Other One...

Here's my other favorite quote from the book My Unfair Godmother. :)

Hudson: And this is our son, Stetson.
Tansy: We should at least choose a name that works in the time period. Edward, or maybe Jacob.
Hudson: We are not naming our son after Twilight characters.
Tansy: They're older names. I can't help it if they're also good looking fictional guys.
Hudson: Women. (Then to the baby) Don't worry, I won't let her name you after a vampire.

My Unfair Godmother

It's a book, an amazing book.
Basically, the godmother fails at her job of godmotherly-ness, and the girl and the guy (who didn't really like each other very much before all the crazy godmother-interferred stuff happened) end up sent back in time and can't go back until the girl's "wish" is fulfilled. So, it's pretty dang entertaining. :)
This is one of my favorite quotes from it:
(An explanation: there's a baby, because the fairy godmother brought it there, they're pretending it's theirs, because it would be hard to explain the truth.)

Tansy: He likes you.
Hudson: That's because I fed him. Babies are like stray cats that way.
Tansy: Babies are not like stray cats.
