Taking photo booth pictures...and putting them on facebook?

It's no question that some of us love to sit down in front of the computer (alone or with a friend) and take tons of stupid pointless pictures. It doesn't stop there. Some of these morons take about 60 pictures on photo booth that no one actually wants to see and uploads them on Facebook. I mean seriously, guys? 

I'll admit it – I used to be one of those boneheads... in like, sixth grade though. So please, if you're one of those people, just stop. Nobody wants to see you sticking out your tongue with your weird friend in thermal camera. Nobody. It's just not attractive, and a few years from now you'll be pulling your hair out with embarrassment.

SOMETHING FUN TO DO OVER THE SUMMER:

Go fishing with friends and family. It's really good bonding actually. Some find this boring, but I don't. Have fun, and get off the computer!

The last report card of the year is always the worst

Sorry it's been about five days since I've posted. I'm still happy in the Cape, and I think I've tanned quite a bit. When I get back to school in September all the bitchy girls who try to tan (but totally can't) stare with jealousy at my hard-worked-on legs. Sweet.

Anyways, I'm sure some of you might be getting report cards soon, I believe? Well I just got mine, and I'm proud to say I only got one C, and it was a C+ even. Ha-ha, not actually something to be proud of, though. Don't worry, I'll do better next year in high school. Promise. How'd you guys do? Hope you guys did better than me, because I truly am a fail when it comes to academics. I'm trying to lose my ditzy status which I've acquired over the years. It's really quite sad.

So that's why I went on About.com. I just love that website. It helps with even the stupidest things, like questions about whether I feed my cat too much. I tried to find some sort of article that gave advice on how to do better in school, and I found it right here! (You can just click on the link and you'll be redirected to About.com, which for the record, I do not own in any way. I don't think they let stupid people run the webbie anyways). So if you want to do well in school, and want to get rid of being a school-fail like me, and even please your parents, then take a gander at that article. It actually gave good tips unlike other cheesy websites.

Ta ta for now my readers. Make a vow to do your best next school year. :)

SOMETHING FUN TO DO OVER THE SUMMER:

It's funny, because I was thinking about this the other day – make a blog. But not just any specific blog (like mine, which focuses on having a good time in school). Make a personal blog. I know that what I'm using, Blogger.com, offers an option where you can make a personal blog that no one else can access... like a diary! I just made one the other day, and it's amazing. I have an issue that a lot of you may have, too. Don't people always end up finding your personal handwritten journal? I can't tell you how many times my little sister or my mom or dad (and even my cat...) found my personal diary. It's annoying as hell because I can never find a place to hide it without someone eventually stumbling upon it and resulting in me crying myself to sleep for the next three months. I'm not even kidding. Have fun blogging.

Tanning in your driveway

Hello friends! I'm way down South-er than I should be... You guessed it – I'm in Cape Cod. Here on the Cape I've been doing tons of fun activities to fly (or slow down?) time. One of those things is tanning in your driveway. It's one of the things I love to do. I just grab my bikini and a nice chair and I make myself comfortable. I used to be really self conscious of showing off my bikini bod to every sketchy person within walking distance of my beach house. Not anymore!

Some things I keep in mind are that it's not like I always live with these people. Sooner or later, your neighbors are going to leave and new ones come. Besides, my real neighbor tans in her driveway, so why can't you tan at your very own beach house? Is it a rental? Even better, you'll be out in a week or so. It's not like the passerby's actually are judging you and your body. Why on earth would you even care, anyways?

Okay, so are you still looking at your body negatively? Is my blog not any help to you? Well fine then. Here's another solution. Just tan in your driveway, but in a tank top and shorts! That way, you won't have to show off your flabby stomach. Ha-ha, just kidding, girlies. :)

Oh, and boys – do us all a favor and tan in your own driveway in your swimming trunks. We girls will really appreciate it. Seriously, though. I'm not joking. And it's so not gay. Please do. Please. Please. :)

SOMETHING FUN TO DO OVER THE SUMMER:

Um, I think I just said it all. Boys and girls. Tan in your driveways. Feel obliged to wear as little clothing as desired to. It's not like I'm some sick prude with issues on teenagers expressing themselves.

Happy fourth of july '09

Hey guys. I'm here to briefly wish you all a very happy Fourth of July! Whether you're hanging with friends, family, or sketchy neighbors, I hope you have a great relaxing day. I'll be at the beach if you need me. Love you!

SOMETHING FUN TO DO OVER THE SUMMER:

Really guys? It's the Fourth of July! Find something fun to do. Just don't stay at home! Type in google "Fourth of July 2009 events [insert your state/town name here]." Maybe you can find some fireworks going on in your area. Remember your bug spray. The bugs are not kind this year.

Mysteriously disappearing ice cream

Don't we all adore ice cream? I love to eat my specialty homework-snack (you guessed it – snacks that you routinely eat while doing homework) which is one tiny scoop in a bowl of Edy's Vanilla Bean ice cream. I've just got one problem. Whatever flavor ice cream is my favorite end's up being my little sister's favorite. And it is annoying times twenty.

God, I hate it to find that the day I buy a creamy vanilla bean ice cream tub it happens to end up mysteriously half-empty the next day. Was this just my kitten's doings? I think not. It's my pig of a sister! So I'm here to give you some solutions I schemed up.

Solution one: You guessed it – hiding! The back of the freezer is your best bet. Just tuck it safely behind your frozen peas. Seriously, who ever uses frozen peas on a daily basis?

Solution two: Buy a mini fridge (freezer included, obviously) and put your favorite ice cream flavor in there. Unless of course, your siblings are evil masterminds and have learned the secret remote island on which your mini freezer coexists. Then, you my friend, are screwed.

Solution three: One word... bribery. The one thing that any sibling; oldest, youngest, or middle child, can excel in. Tell them that this vanilla bean ice cream in the freezer is yours, and they can have the TV all of Tuesday nights.

Solution four: This is even sneakier! Convince them that the flavor you like is a yucky flavor, and get them hooked on some other ice cream flavor, like mint chip. (You know, the one that nobody likes. Haha just kidding, my mint chip lovers!)

Mwahaha. I hope I inspired the evil in all of you. Feel completely free to use these tips on other foods you like, like pudding, chocolate cake, or even frozen peas. ;)

I hope none of you ever end up in the situation I'm in right now. A vanilla person eating chocolate ice cream. The horror! :'(

SOMETHING FUN TO DO OVER THE SUMMER: 

Have a karaoke party in your living room! Set up comfy cushions all around the room, get all kinds of snacks (Nothing with dairy/milk. It's bad for the singing voice.) and grab at least five of your best friends. You can get a karaoke machine, or if you have Comcast On Demand as your TV cable company, you can go to On Demand and get free karaoke songs on your TV! Don't forget the microphones.

What kind of suitcase should I use?

It's actually quite debatable. You want the perfect thing to carry around all your stuff in when you go away on vacation. It's something I've been pondering as I'm about to go away to Cape Cod this month. Here are the kinds I'm familiar with:

• The duffel bag
• The traditional suitcase
• The wheelie
• The backpack (Yay! A reminder of school...)
• A giant handbag

Alright, so I'm going to talk about the luggage that should go in each, and my personal opinion. The duffel bag is my personal favorite, for it can be as cheap as $20 and quite convenient. You just carry them in your hand all day, because the bag itself is very lightweight. The thing that annoys me is all your things get jostled. Ugh.

The traditional suitcase... ew. I'm sorry to you people who happen to love your suitcases but I just hate them. Once mine opened in the middle of when I was carrying it, and, well, I just hate 'em. Sorry!

The wheelie. These are fun – if I was still three years old. I mean seriously. (I had a Scooby Doo one, though)! I mean, yes, I do use them sometimes, but they're just too heavy for me (the wheels add a lot of weight). They don't even have enough space for me! Then again, knowing me, I pack much more than I need too.

A giant backpack... yayyy, I can be like Dora the Explorer. Ah, bringing back those childhood memories. I hated my childhood. :( But these are actually quite nice, it's just that my back hurts after a while.

Finally, the giant handbag! I love these, however I would also probably use a wheelie/duffel bag along with this, as being a pack rat I need all my things with me, and just the big handbag wont cut the deal. Just saying. :)

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading this pointless entry I wrote, and maybe you found some humor in reading about my cherished Scooby Doo wheelie. Thanks!

SOMETHING FUN TO DO OVER THE SUMMER:

Have a sleepover – outside! Grab one of your BFF's, and lay your sleeping bag on the grass or rooftop. Watch out for mosquito's, though. Those pesky demons attacked my legs today. Count the stars and breathe in that summer air!

Summer fling?

I understand that a lot of you... don't have very good luck with relationships during the school year. That's what summer is for! You can have a really relaxed relationship. Who wouldn't want that?

But then you wonder, "how can I get a summer fling?" Whether you're stuck at home, or across the country, or even in another continent, here's how you can have your own summer romance.

First, and most importantly, you need to ditch anyone who might get in your way. It may be your parents, siblings, or even your best friend. Just tell them that maybe you want to go to the beach alone or go on a roller coaster ride alone, or something like that.

Then, you need to find someone cute. It may be some guy/girl who's waiting in line to go on the ferris wheel alone, or someone who looks bored at the beach. Approach them with a friendly "hi" or "what's up?" Want to be more flirty? Don't be shy; just say what you think. "I couldn't help but notice you here alone and I wanted to know if your boy/girlfriend is as cute as you are." Don't forget to smile, and maybe even add a wink!

Start getting flirty and ask some questions about them, too. (Just to get the ball rolling). Then, if you decide you like this person, go in for the kill and ask them out on a date. You could say something like, "I hope I'll see you here tomorrow, and maybe we could ditch this place and do something more fun?" That way, it's less pressure than just saying, "do you want to come to my house at four?"

SOMETHING FUN TO DO OVER THE SUMMER:

Buy a snow cone machine and make snow cones! An easy alternative, if you don't have one is to crush ice in a blender, scoop it into a paper cone, and then drizzle some flavoring over it. Buy all sorts of flavors, like lime, lemon, pina colada, watermelon, or strawberry! Happy licking. A note to all my perverts: don't even think about saying "that's what she said."
