Yes, I’m blonde, but this is the funniest blonde joke I’ve ever read. Click here to read it.

Vinyl Tile and Nail Polish
Oh, this is a bad combination. And I’ve just learned the hard way. I wake up from a nap, walk toward the restroom, and step in something strangely sticky in the hallway. I look down, on the vinyl tile of various dark “wood” colors, there is a spilled bottle of light pink, opalescent nail polish. I have no idea how it got there, or how it was open, but oh what a mess to clean up. I’ve never even worn that color!
The worst part is, the polish had blistered a top layer of plastic from the tile. Then on top of that, the tile is now bleached with a nice creamy pink colored splotch. Ack! Now there is a 4 inch light pink splotch dead center in the middle of a dark floor with loose plastic around the very edges. Truly wasn’t any fault of mine, but if I don’t post again, it’s because someone has murdered me. 
Exhibit A: 
My New Pumps
I’m so happy! I’ve always wanted an awesome pair of black pumps. I think I’ve found them!! OK, completely irrelevant, but whatever. I got a pair of retro round-toe 4″heel black pumps. They look great. I’m not sure where I’d wear them, yet.
Snape Needs Icons, Too!
I know I’ve just posted icons, but I found a couple Snape ones by peppermintspoon here that just made me melt.
Rickman Jackpot
I’m home sick today. My stomach is feeling rebellious. So I’m sitting there, and I decide to see what there is to do on the web right now. What do I find? Only the Rickman icon motherload post! I don’t know if I’m simply excited because I’m drugged up, or what, but I felt like sharing. They’re by Katariina at LJ. I’ve posted my favs here, check the rest out here.
Double Deathly Hallows
I am so relieved to find out that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be split up into two movies. After seeing the previous few, I’d seriously thought of giving up on the movie series.
You almost have to have read the books to understand what’s going on at all, and they cut out all my favorite parts. All you get is a plot skeleton. I think they should have come up with this earlier to go with some of the earlier books. I personally wouldn’t mind a few four hours films if they were accurate and of good quality.
They’ll also have to do some serious backpedaling if they are going to include some of the important details left out of the other movies. Snape is also underused. He is really an important character but, where is he? If they downsize his importance in HBP I will definitely shun the movies from then on. I mean, it’s practically called Harry Potter and Severus Snape. Give the man some freakin’ screen time!
I’m getting so tired of amping myself up for a new HP movie only to be royally disappointed when the final credits roll. Well, we’ll find out this time. I’m crossing my fingers.
Laptop Woes
I think my computer had a virus. The programs would act strangely or not at all and I couldn’t connect to any wireless web. So, what did I do? I gave up and wiped the sucker clean. Then I could reinsatll Vista. I only saved a few small files I couldn’t replace. I’m happy now, though. It’s like getting a brand new computer! Now to trash it up again . . . .
Day, n. A period of twenty-four hours, mostly misspent.
Does anyone actually like Daylight Savings Time? I mean, it’s really doing nothing for me. Sure, in Fall you get that illusion of sleeping in an extra hour, like you’re getting away with something, but the Spring is just nonsensical. Just when the mornings have been lightening up, we have to turn off the sun again. Back to dragging myself out of bed. . . . It doesn’t even save money since you have have your lights on in the mornings. Then at night you don’t feel like going to sleep because there’s still some light out! Now, all this is pretty new to me anyway since my area of Indiana just adopted this sucky system last year. I don’t know anyone who has preferred it.
Back when we used to camping in Michigan during the summer, we ran on our normal, unchanging, Indiana time. As result, we kids thought we were really hot stuff when all the other kids in the campground had to back to their RVs to go to bed while we stayed up another hour. It took a few years before we were disillusioned.
Anyone have any opinions on DST? I’m pretty sure no one reads my crap, so if you found your way here on accident, go ahead and leave your mark. If you came here on purpose, I’ll have to think up some gift to give you because you’re the only one.
In General, Scholarship Hunting Sucks!
Ack! All I hear about is college, college, college, and college. Everyone around me has developed a one-track mind, and they’re all focused on post-secondary school! What is a girl to do?
Well, what goes with college? PAYING for college! Well, I think I’m off to a good start, but that doesn’t make me any happier. I already have my tuition automatically paid for thanks to my grades and class rank. Whew! But then there are books, gas, housing, and all those other hidden costs. Hopefully I have that covered, too.
I’m trying to enter this other scholarship for $10,000 a year that my guidance counselor said I had a 90% chance of getting. OK, sounds good. But I need to get a science teacher to write a recommendation since it’s for Premed students. Pshh, this is a breeze! Mr. M—— was (overly?) happy to write it for me. I’d hope so, I aced every one of his AP Anatomy Physiology tests and 40% of that class fails every year. Problem is, he hasn’t finished it yet. He’s really busy and has it started, but that’s the only thing I’m waiting for. Almost every day he asked me when it’s due (March 31), and tells me to hound him about it every day.
How do I possibly bring myself to incessantly hound a teacher? ! Especially one of my favorites . . . Oh, well, it’s been four weeks. I’ll just walk by every day and silently hound him. I still might get that scholarship.
Just a Meme
This was just entertaining. Nothing important.
What would the movie of your life be called?
Is It Raining? Is It Snowing? Is It a Hurricane A-blowing?
I don’t know what’s wrong with the weather in northern Indiana these days. It’s likely having an identity crisis. We’ve had more storms resulting in school cancellations than I can count, which is in turn wreaking havoc on my graduation date. It’s not just snow storms, either — that I could have handled. There hasn’t been any real accumulation for long due to the intermittent RAIN storms melting the snow. My backyard has been a permanent flood.
I mean, it was 58 degrees when I woke up Monday morning! I was in heaven! That evening the temp plummeted again and we’re back to the snow storm. We didn’t get a delay or anything for school, but we do have a 2-hour one for tomorrow due to the current storm. It’s 24 degrees right now with plenty of wind and stinging hail-like freezing rain. Another cancellation is very possible, as it’s not supposed to let up for a long time.
All’s Well on the Midwestern Front
I decide to go to sleep on time for once Sunday night . . . figured I’d start the new school trimester off right. Of course I’d wake up at two in the morning and not be able to fall asleep again.
So I go through my typical morning: getting dressed, being blamed for my sister’s third missing ipod video that’s been missing for a month (she already has a new one), and rushing out the door. The usual.
I then learn I’m the only senior in my advanced acting class, I intern for a class of hoodlums, we get to do even MORE writing in advanced composition, I have mister B——- (who likes to mess with my mind) for US Government, and I get to end each day with the second half of Calculus AB.
Great Monday, everyone! 
My Obsession List
Sorry I have to do this to you, but I just have to. It seems to be a very ‘get-to-know-you’ kinda thing. (Edited to say — Wow, they all kinda look alike! Dark, powerful, enigmatic, trouble-makers? Don’t know about that pasta, though. Off to the psych ward.)
1. 
Alan Rickman — Is this just weird? I see him on tv or in pictures and I just want to sob. I don’t know why! I don’t think it matters that he’s, what, 62 now and 44 years older than me? Could be 98 and a half for all I care, I just love ‘im. I’ve seen all his movies.
2. 
Captain Jack Sparrow — The slurred mumblings, the drunken swagger, who couldn’t fall for this guy. I like Depp, but I LOVE Sparrow. Plus, he has a cool hat.
3. 
Erik — OK, Christine doesn’t know how good she has it. I don’t know what her problem is, but I want to scratch her eyes out. I’d pick Erik over that idiot Raoul any day of the week and twice on Fridays.
4. 
Severus Snape — I know I already have Alan Rickman, but Snape needs his own place. I’m not talking about Rickman Snape, I love canon Snape. The thin, powerful, genius, witty, sarcastic, torn between light and dark, desperate, restrained Snape. I’d so jump him.
5. 
Jareth aka Goblin King — Now I don’t know WHAT’S wrong with me. David Bowie generally creeps me out, but I can’t stop starring at the Goblin King. Sure he’s a drag queen’s dream come true, but I want him.
6. 
Italian food — Why not? It’s yummy
7. 
My kitten Salem — He’s just a cutie.
Frustration and Biodiesel and Physics, oh my!
Well, I still haven’t heard from my lab partner yet! We spent 2 months on alternative fuel projects in physics and my group got biodiesel. We all made the biodiesel, but I went ahead and wrote the report and made the powerpoint because of language difficulties. One of my friends is Burmese and the other is Indian, both are extremely intelligent but there is just a little difficulty in complex grammar and comprehension due to the language barrier. So everything’s ready for Wednesday’s presentation, and we run out of time for ours. Now this is the last day of class, and I was not going to be at school Thursday or Friday since I don’t need to take finals. We then decided that I would create notes for my friends so they could do the presentation without me. I emailed the paper, presentation and notes to her that night but never got a response. The next day after they’d be out of school I emailed her again asking how it went. I haven’t had a response back yet and I don’t even know if she got the original files. I’m freaking out right now because it’s worth a huge grade and I can’t lose my A. I’m going to go sit in the corner and bang my head against the wall until dreaded Monday comes . . .
