A long time ago, someone on BZP posted a very interesting blog. I forget the specifics of it, but I remember it going along the lines of the writer (who worked at a department store such as Target or Wal-Mart) telling the readers how much of a help it was when people didn't leave things on random shelves when they decided not to buy them. The writer continued to explain the hassle and time of getting the misplaced items back to their correct spots, and then ended the post by encouraging readers
Yesterday was just like, the most amazing day of my life, and I still don't understand it all. But today is Saturday, meaning that I was able to sleep in till twelve in the afternoon. (After staying up till 2 A.M. talking on the phone, that is.) My dad is out at work today, since he's leaving for a two week business trip on Tuesday. However, he told me he was hoping that we could hit up the movies tonight, and maybe go to a local sports bar - Champs - for their Guitar Hero night. Back to the mov
50 degrees. Fifty stupid degrees. After a week of gorgeous 80 degree weather, you think mother nature would be happy. But, alas, as all mothers, she just bought me a brand new Bionicle, let me hold it, and then stuffed it in a corner for my birthday. Haha.
So, my question of the day for you guys is what are your opinions on this crazy weather? You like it, you hate it, you don't really care because you don't live in the States? Lol.
In other news, I'm drinking a bottle of Ice Mountain wate
Hey, everybody. Sorry I haven't been very active on the forums or in my blog as-of-late. I've been swamped by schoolwork now that the school year is down to four weeks. I'm so excited, though, I must say. It's been a heck of a year. The only sad thing is that every person that I'm close with there is planning to leave when the school year's terminar (finished, in Spanish). It makes me really ... distraught. I mean, sure, everyone has to split up some time, but why now? The only reason I'd go bac
Well, almost. You see, The All-American Rejects have a new in-studio recording they aired. And they had about seven seconds of a new song.
Let me say, that seven seconds has me so excited for their new album! Thus, I went and made an MP3 of those seven seconds.
So, if you want seven seconds of one of AAR's 2008 songs, let me know. I'll email it to you.

So I had a choice. Either go to a all-nighter church party in Indiana with some friends and my pastor, or go to a morg and see a dead guy dissected on a biology field trip.
I chose the party.
So, I get there, and there are about seventy other kids there. It's in a small (but incredibly nice!) Christian school. I didn't sleep at all, of course. We went duckpin bowling, but I didn't do anything, because I didn't know anyone. As the night went on, I had met about twenty new people, and they
Born in the plains, a farmer's sons and brothers the same.
Raised on promises, we'd stay that way.
As boys we believed summers at the sea we were free to become men of good will.
Side by side.
And we were children then, footprints in the sand.
And where the ocean bends, we made our promises. And those duties we called 1943 we enrolled.
Together we would be our family's pride.
And we were soldiers then, our bodies in the sand. And like that sand through our hands, grow our grandest plans.
Life's been okay lately. I'm on spring break right now. A few other cool things have happened.
First off, I go to TRU because I got a 20% off coupon and was hoping to maybe get Kopaka or something.
We, my mom and I, walk into the Bionicle aisle. There's still that buy two get the third one free sale going on. I see Icarax, and I turn to my mom and say, "I'm gonna get this instead." She looks at the tags on the sets and then glances over on me.
"Why not get them all?"
Of course, I did
Well, if you haven't noticed, I've changed my color to green. All new pictures, and all new banner and avatar colors.
In other news, I got the Across the Universe Soundtrack Deluxe Edition today. It's really cool. I also have some new swim shorts that I got for $10. They look awesome. Can't wait to put them to use.
Also, I got one more thing. I'd like to give a shout-out to Zyglakky Sharky, whose birthday is today! Happy Birthday!

Why, good morning! I didn't expect to see you here! Why don't you come in? *opens door*
As you can see, things are a little messy. Be careful not to step on the inflatable clown!
*squeak*
Too late, I suppose? Oh well. Hmm...how can I entertain you? Oh! I could teach you how to tightrope walk over a pit of lava...
But...if you didn't get the hang of it the first time, I'm afraid there wouldn't be another chance to try...
OH! I have another idea!
Let's go play in traffic!

Yeah, I had one of those BZP lapses again. (Ya know, the ones usually caused by giant dinosaurs attacking my town.) Luckily, Larry Boy arrived on the scene and saved the city.
Snow is melting! Yay! It's been raining and warmish lately...but that could be due to the fact that I recently installed a giant heating lamp on top of my house...
So, you all know what a really good main part of a song is...? I mean, you ever heard an awesome chorus to a song?
Shut up.
Okay, here's one!

A few things. First off, I've picked my new color. It'll appear on everything starting March 9th. So watch out for that. Secondly, I'll also be changing the name of my blog, as well as my hearts for my blog (they'll change to another symbol, unless I get protest about that). And finally, I wrote a free verse poem, based off of a discussion I was having with my friend the other day. Let me know what you think about it...
What if I’m not meant for this?
What if I could make a mark in this wo
I FIXED MY COMPUTER!
Yeah, it broke. About a month ago. But I fixed it now!
What if I change the world..
If I lead the way?
What if I be the one..
That takes the blame?
What if I can't go on without you?
What if I graduate?
What if I don't?
What if I don't?

Well, it's Wednesday again. It's one of my favorite days of the week. But Thursday, noooo. Thursday is by far my least favorite day of the week. At least this time around. This is considering that I have a Spanish test on *counts on fingers* twelve chapters tomorrow, and I'm not necessarily good at Spanish. So, keep me in your prayers. Maybe I'll give you a reward this week...
Why doesn't flavored gum turn your mouth that color?

I sit here at my computer, and look out the window.
♫Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer♫
I look at it, tearing away the white blanket which had been folded neatly over the earth for two weeks now.
♫Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors♫
And I meditate on these things, wondering.
Where is the thunder?
♫Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer, you are unlike any other; you'll always be my thunder.
I said, your eyes, are the brightest of all the colors. I don
So, here's the Ask ♥TAKi♥ for week two.
1) You are as cool as a rock on Pluto.
2) My advice is to get out of this Speedo that you're wearing and finding something more comfortable.
3) I do not suffer from multiple speedo's, no.
4) You mentioned what it stands for, but I can't help but notice it sounds like Speedo...
5) Well, since you said that I'm part of your personalities, I apparently have...eleven?
6) I do have friends in life. I love friends. They tend to be very friendly. And
Man, I can't even sing. But that's better for everyone around me, I suppose.
New Ask ♥TAKi♥ coming at cha' this afternoon. I spent the night at a friend's house, so I didn't have a chance to post it. But it'll be up in a few hours, no worries. I'm gonna try and fix my PC before that point. Lol.
Long story.

Well, I was sick this morning, so I decided to go back to bed, and I'd call my mom when she got home from the hospital where she works.
So, I wake up now, and my plan is that I go into school in three hours to take a test and grab my homework, and then leave again ~ I'll be taking my friend home with me, too.
And then, on the way home, I'm gonna buy the new Simple Plan album, Simple Plan!
See, told you it was a simple plan. B)

Would you believe I actually made a MOC? It's been so long since I've made one. But I used to make them all the time. Now I just make them when I have nothing better to do. Like today. So, I'll be posting a link to it in here as soon as I finish uploading the pictures.
But, one more thing. I'm gonna let YOU name it! Yup, that's right. I'm gonna post a picture in here, and I want you guys to tell me a suitable name for it.
If you wanna start now, the thing look like a big gorilla.

Woe is me, I'm sick finally.
It's like the temperature crazy has shaken the days.
Made me fight for the power to get up at this hour.
For the peace, the love, the hungry, the poor
I gotta stop this chemical war.
I made that up just now, like it? Lol. But yeah, I am sick. Woke up with a sore throat, and I begged my mom to let me stay home, since I wanna try and contain this before it gets worse. I wanna be able to go to youth group on Wednesday, and if I miss school on valentines day, I'
So, this is the first week of Ask ♥TAKi♥! I got a lot of questions, so I'll answer them, and then I'll be adding them to the new content block, along with my answers.
Yes, it is quite enough, I think. I'll answer these in order.
1) A long time ago, back in 2001, I used to do farm-related things with a group called 4-H. Some of our friends there were close to my older sister Kitty, who was involved in the club as well. But one time, our friend who was about 14 at the time came ove
