Friends for Post

My Sandlot

What is it with guys and using sports as metaphors?

This was talked about in a Bones episode that I watched the other day. Bones explained something though sports, or maybe it was Booth, probably him, ya know what I mean? (if you've watched the show you will know)

"Your my first round draft pick." - Courtney's lover boy. (sooooo not going to write his name on the internet.)

Ho Ho Ho

Today was my gift giving day.

I was so excited. I don't know what it is, but this season makes me feel wonderful! Everyone is dressed up and handing gifts to each other. I know some people aren't religious, but the idea that you give people gifts is a nice way to thank them for being there for you/loving you/dealing with you all year long.

Essentially it's Thanksgiving without the dead Native Americans.

10 Random Friends

Nora - Ragan - Courtney - Hannah - Meghan - Acacia - Sonia - Gretchen - Tessa - Janine

1. What musical instrument would Nora most likely play? Violin


2. If Janine and Hannah teamed up, what would they most likely accomplish? They could probably finnish a homework sheet if they really tried, but other then that, sitting there awkwardly.

3. What would you do if Ragan confessed love to you? Eh, probably go with it. Naw, for real I would tell her I wasn't Harrison and that she was just dreaming.

4. Would you love to read Tessa's very personal diary? Yes, but then I think I would feel uncomfortable because it's going to be a lot about wooho.

5. Who would win in a duel, Courtney or Acaica? And what kind of duel would they pick, anyway? Courtney would win, because Courtney wouldn't back down. It would be hand to hand combat.


6. If you could do anything with Gretchen, what would it be? Go shopping with her and an unlimited amount of money.

7. What's your fondest memory of Hannah? Probably something on the bus, Copper Boom, or when she got me to steal sunglasses and talk to the boy in lunch.

8. What would Sonia not be caught dead in? A prono.

9. What if you found out that Meghan was secretly an alien plotting to take over the world together with Nora? I don't doubt it, Meghan wouldn't be a really good actor, but Nora would be. She seems too nice.

10. Describe Acaica in five words. Brains, Beauty, Modest, Funny, and Calm.

Don't Mock!

One of my favorite lines from Gilmore Girls (well, one of the many) is when Logan tells Rory to make a Pro-Con list about getting back together with him, she then responds by saying, "Don't mock the Pro-Con list!" Logan then smiles and says, "I'm not, in fact I think it will come out in my favor."

Thus, the title. Though I'm not a confident as Logan. I have a predicament.

Should I ask for a Nook (the Brans and Noble version of a kindle) for Christmas? What do you think about the e-books? Would you use them? Do you think I would?

Fallen Hero

Okay, Meghan it's all thanks to you that I have become obsessed with Natalie Tran and have spent hours sitting in front of my computer watching her youtube videos.

Recently I was watching a video(around 4:10ish) where she was talking about some of her favorite books. One of them being Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. Yes, that horrid book that we were forced to read in ninth grade english. Or as Richelle puts it 'the worst book I never read.'

So, yea, she has fallen a few rungs on the ladder.

My Friend?

The foosball table is the center of the room. A guy with dark hair and a football build is playing by himself.  Chandler walks in from his bedroom and is surprised by the guy.

"Umm. Who are you?" He asks

"Chandler, come on, you know me. Your roommate?" The guy stops playing and turns around to face Chandler.

"Ah, no." As he says this Monica walks in and leans on the counter.

"Who is this? A friend of yours?"

The guy races over to Monica and grabs her hand. "Come on, you know me. Stop fooling around Monica."

Monica pulls her hand away and backs up. "I'm not kidding. Who are you?"

Ross and Phoebe walk into the apartment stomping their boots and shaking off the snow from there jackets. Ross walks up to the guy and holds out his hand. "Hello, I'm Ross this is Pheobe. Were Chandler and Monica's friends. And you are..."

Phoebe snaps her fingers. "Oh! I know, you're the guy who just moved in down stairs!"

Just as the guy starts to object Rachel waltz's into the room. The fake clapping track roars and Rachel gives the non-existant audience a smile. Putting her arm around Ross she turns to him and asks motioning to the guy, "Who is he?"

Chandler walks over to the group. "I just walked in here and he was playing foosball."

"Are you homeless?" Phoebe moves over to the guy and holds his shoulders. Slowly she continues. "It's going to be okay, let me give you some money."

"No! You guys I'm your friend....your friend...."

Suddenly I remember his name, the only character from friends I couldn't remember.

"...your friend Joey!"

The crowd erupts in applause and Joey is enclosed in a giant group hug as his best friends remember who he is.

Nothing To Fear

In FDR's first inaugural address he said something that would be said many more times in thousands of speeches. The only thing we have to fear is fear its self. If more people would take this sentence literally insurance and security companies would be out of business. But, on a more serious note, kids wouldn't be scared to talk in class, children could sleep well at night, and mothers wouldn't buy excessive amounts of padding for when their kids rollerblade. People would be a little more loose.

The number one question:

What is Liz afraid of?

1. The dark
2. Murders
3. Hobos who live on her roof
4. Failing
5. Ear hair
6. Guys with socks on
7. Friends/family dying
8. Creepers in the airport/mall/theater
9. WW III
10. Shopping
11. Lizard people who live under the earth
12. The movie psycho
13. The quote "a boys best friend is his mother."
14. Death by electrocution/starvation/drowning (or buried alive)
15. Invisible man killing me in my sleep
16. Swimming pools
17. Fairs
18. Amusement parks
19. Lack of maps
20. Food courts

So, what 20 things are you scared of?

Milk is My Name, Pizza is My Game.

I love milk. I don't know why some people don't like it. Hannah and I were talking about milk on the bus and we couldn't wrap our minds around the idea that milk is bad. I don't know if that's what other people feel like, but Hannah and I agree, it's amazing.

I had so much fun last night, the movie was really funny and even though Taylor Swift was stupid it almost made the movie even better. Then the pizza place (Broadway's Pizza I believe.) was cool, and our waitress was nice to us, no evil eye this time. I was the only one who ordered Milk though...figures.

Mikaela, now all I'm thinking about is Schindler's List. Man do I really want to see it.

...Need Sleep...

I stayed up until 12:30 this morning. Though I wasn't asleep until, at least, 1. Then today, during sixth hour, Mrs. Drew just talked to us the whole hour and then we didn't show our movies.....eye twitch....

I'm gonna' bring season one of Gilmore Girls to Hannah tomorrow. We were talking about it on the bus and she didn't know what I was saying half the time because she hasn't seen half of the seasons. So, I'm staring her from the beginning. At least I can un-deprive someone in the world of Gilmore Girls.

I just finished watching the NCIS episode from last night. I prefer watching them on the real TV, but at least I got to see it! The wonders of technology.

The Spanish final is freaking me out, I want to study, but then I don't want to study. Blgg, I also have to sign up for classes. I think I'm gonna' take pre-calculus, who cares about FST? Not me.

Just Keep Editing, Just Keep Editing....

Today Mrs. Drew got angry, well not angry per-say, but annoyed, with our video class. There wasn't a reason not to, the people in the class (well not all of them) were goofing off. They would run into the other room, blow up a balloon, and then race back into the classroom and pop the balloon. Yea, real mature....

She's told us that she wasn't going to except any excuses for the decade project. She also said that she was willing to give out zero's.

So, that's why Kayla and I spent most of the afternoon on the phone and that's why she's gonna' come over right now and that's why I can't watch NCIS.

Thanks guys, video was reeeeal fun today....

My Aching Back!

Boy am I tired. It really hit me today when we were putting up the extended stage for the plays on Friday. Man do I need to go to bed. Play practice was fun aside from that. I did my indian (as in the country India) accent for tons of people because I do it better than the actor who is supposed to have the accent. Yea, I rock!

I started writing my character essay. I don't think it will be anything amazing, but it will be at lest an A-. It's about self control and three ways to exercise it. Prrrety amazing....yep...

Got a text from a friend. I'm gonna' pray for them and their family. Can you do that too? They really need it. Man am I glad I have a good family.

I wish I could play sims.
