Sister

Hi, this is Claire, Sarah's sister. I've hacked into her site and now I have taken over! She never updates anyway.

"It Smelled Like Something Died in There!"

No, it's not my closet.
No, it's not under my bed.
No, it's not my gym bag.
Heck, I could go on forever with this.
According to my Dad, I need "punishment". This is my "punishment".
So, I'm very Earth-friendly, and I'm all for making the Earth healthier. I was cleaning out my cats litterbox [and, on another note, I always clean out the litterbox! Why can't Claire do it?] and there was only two measly pieces of poop in it. [We should probably feed him more.] So, I took out a plastic bag and put the poop in. Then I tucked away the bag in a cabinet. Not the smartest idea on my part.
Fast forward a couple days. My Dad is cleaning out the litterbox [cause I'm not there] and he opens the cabinet [that I put the poop in] and he reels over. It "smelled like something had died in there". He takes out the bag, and throws it away.
But just hold on for 1 second. Let me give you my side of the story. I thought that it would be a waste to put the poop in a bag and then throw it away. I mean, it's so wasteful! [Now I realize that I could have just left the poop in there. Hehe.]

Hey everyone, life has finally caught up with me. I couldn't outrun it forever. Life has been overall really good. I got a B on my report card. -gasp- Other than that, I got all A's. I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, and tell you guys to remember something. There are thousands of millions of people who are going to be hungry tonight. So as you are eating, remember someone who is starving today. Remember how lucky you are to live in a place where you have food, shelter, clean water, and warmth.

Just Peachy

Everyone is so ticked off in my Religion class. (Yes, I'm young enough to still be in R.E.) We have to write a 10 page paper about our favorite saint. Heck, none of us even freaking have a favorite saint. See, most of us have other lives we have to deal with. Our teacher doesn't.
None of us were going to do the paper. But then some idiot asked what would happen if he didn't do the essay, and our teacher did some research. Turns out that they can give you detention in Religion Class. Isn't that just peachy?
So then I did some research. I got an Excel Spreadsheet out, and calculated. Yes, I know I'm a dork. It balances out that we should slop together some crap on Sunday night, and be done with it. They could give you an unlimited amount of detentions if you never got it done, so, in order to prevent detention altogether, we should just write the paper in the first place.
Oh, I'm going to do the essay. I'm gonna do that freaking essay. But I'm going to make sure that my teacher can't understand it. I'm gonna make sure he gets sucked into the dictionary he's using because he can't understand any of the simple words.
Teacher: Ah-Nee-Mals? What are Ah-Nee-Mals?

The Office

Oh my gosh, I've had so much homework lately. It's weighing me down. I haven't gotten the chance to blog for like ever! If anyone watches The Office, that episode was freaking hilarious yesterday! They held a pizza kid hostage because Michael wouldn't pay full price for eight pizzas. I was just cracking up the whole time.

Wishful Thinking

If you could change anything about the world, what would it be and why?

I would definitely change the government. It makes so much more sense to have a world government, instead of countries with different forms of it. Then the world would be divided up into smaller states. However, there wouldn't be one leader, at least not in the beginning. There would be a council, of a select 18 people (Bush would not be one). The people would vote for who they want to represent them. But after that, the top 18 candidates would be selected for the council.
Trade would be thrown out, because there is no one to trade with. War would never be a problem, unless there was a mutiny. The world's scientists would work together for cures to the common cold, AIDS, and other diseases. There would be no nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons. We could develop new ways to power our cars, and our planes, and our trains. We would stop global warming, and create new means to become more energy efficient.
Food would be distributed evenly among the people. When a disaster strikes, the government would immediately send help. Overpopulation would be less of a problem, because there would be more room for everyone. Crime would be dealt with quickly and effectively, putting the criminal on trial as soon as possible.
It's so hard for people to even imagine this, because we are so used to living with fear from other countries attacking us. But if you think about it, it makes so much sense. I wish the world could be like that. That would be what I would change.
I would make the world a better place.

Ummm Yeah

Well, on a recent fling of mine, I was on Xanga.com, wondering if I should switch servers. Obviously, I decided not to, but I saw a cool little thing on there. It was "The Question of the Day". So, I'm going to give it a shot, but on Blogger.

Should there ever be limits to the "Freedom of Speech"? Why?

I think there should. There has to be some limit to everything- even in the U.S., we have limitations on our Freedom of Speech. We can't shout, "Fire!" in a public place when there's no fire, you can't scream, "Bomb!" on an airplane unless there's a bomb (which I doubt you would find out until it actually went off). There's also some rule with profanity, but I can't remember it. You can't accuse someone of doing something they haven't, or something like that. Yeah, my parents are lawyers, so I just pick this crap up everywhere.
Also, I was surfing, and found this. It's a really cool fortune teller, but not like a magic eight ball, which gives you straight answers. This speaks in riddles.

Presidential Election 2008

Presidential Candidates: 2008
What do our future leaders have in store?

By Kent P. Wright



Yes, it’s that time of the year again. Presidential Elections: that quincentennial occasion that has America’s brain in knots. This year is no different from any other; many people are confused about who they should vote for. So to make sure that America is informed and ready to vote, I have compiled a list of the Presidential Candidates of 2008.



Ronald McDonald

Dressed in his custom made red and yellow suit, Ronald took the stage Sunday night with a rousing speech about American pride. “I am America,” he says. “I represent America- I am the personification of all things American.” He received enthusiastic applause after adding, “Free Big Macs to anyone who votes for me!” He says that he will work hard to provide the USA with outstanding health care and healthier food.



Dwight Schrute

He bears a sign that spells out DWIGHT- Determined, Worker, Intelligent, Good Worker, Hard Worker, Terrific. He is not very well known, but there are many Americans who think he could lead our country. Schrute would introduce a new form of currency- the “Schrutebuck”, to assert his leadership of the country. He has plenty of experience in economics and would plant beets in every field in the United States. He has spent his entire career working diligently for Dunder Mifflin Paper Companies.

Tickle Me Elmo

Our favorite red monster is running for President, and he seems to be the underdog this year. After the Youtube videos cropping up of him in hysterical laughter, Tickle Me Elmo is certainly taking a daring move by entering the election. There have already been several critical hits to his campaign; now the question is, can he take any more?



Eeyore

Eeyore, beloved character from the series Winnie the Pooh, has officially entered the election. There have been rumors popping around in tabloids recently, but no formal announcement. In his press conference on Tuesday, he is quoted as saying, “I represent the Democrats,” in his low, monotonous voice. When asked what he would do to make our country better, he merely shrugged. It did not make a good impression on the crowd, and it doesn’t look like Eeyore is going to win this year.


It looks like it will be an interesting vote this year, especially with the war in Iraq and how these future leaders will handle their new responsibilities. So on this note I leave you, and with the hope that you will make the right choice in voting.

^ A paper on satire that I wrote for English class. That was the paper I was talking about in my previous post.

Sorry

I haven't posted in like five days! I'm sorry. I had soooo much homework and school and crap and practices and stuff. No links for you today. I couldn't find anything.
My sister and her friend put a blog up today. Guess who did all the technical stuff. Yeah. Well, if you get the chance, check it out. They haven't posted yet though.
My dad's golf clubs got stolen out his car. He's so ticked off. I still have to write a paper today . . . oh man. :(

Ouch!

Well, this is obvious. Haha. They made a flag colored hydrant and then dogs peed on it, and we got all offended. Well, that's generally what dogs do. Hard to believe, I know.
I have tons of homework . . . again. Shocker. I slammed my finger in my locker door today. Which hurt. Really bad.
