What I Like About You

Here's a fun, random, super-awesome 5:38 AM blog post for everyone who stumbles across my sad excuse for a blog.  Right now my sleeping schedule is like completely bass-ackwards and I'm going to bed at like 9 AM and waking up at 5-7 PM.  I really need to fix that, because I'm leaving independent study to finish my final semester of high school with my friends.  Eww...mornings =/  But yeah.  I just watched some video on YouTube where this person was listing random facts about themselves and I thought it would be kind of fun to do that.  It might even help me learn about myself!  Here goes:

1. I am kinda OCD.  I have to have the stereo turned to a number ending in 0 or 5 (15, 20, 25, 30 etc.) and I have no idea why.  It just drives me nuts if it isn't.  I have some other OCD traits like if I touch something with one hand I usually have to touch it with the other as well.  I don't know if that makes sense but yeah haha.  Plus like...just other boring little things I do.

2. I like orange juice, but I'm really picky about it.  I can drink Minute Maid and stuff like that but I don't really like it.  I love Odwalla and Naked orange juice as well as fresh-squeezed.  And for some reason I've always loved Donald Duck brand orange juice, which I'm not sure if they make anymore.

3. On the topic of juices I'm addicted to guava juice and I have been since...as long as I can remember.  I also LOVE Jamba Juice's orange berry blitz.  And Odwalla's Citrus C C Monster (which I am drinking as we speak).  And lemonade made with lemons from the tree in my backyard is probably my favorite thing ever.

4. I've loved Alice Cooper since I was about 7 1/2.  I saw him singing "Welcome to my Nightmare" on a commercial for some Halloween event at Magic Mountain, asked my mom who he was, and the rest is history.  She had a few of his albums on vinyl and I sat in front of the record player and listened to them over and over all night long.  I soon realized that I recognized a couple of songs from hearing them on the radio before I realized who Alice Cooper was.  My obsession only grew from there.  When I was 9 I was Alice Cooper for Halloween and I was actually in a Halloween parade (the final Mark and Brian Halloween parade, and if you're from my area you'll know who they are...well even if you aren't, they were the DJs in the Princess Diaries movie) as the 9-year-old Alice Cooper!  When I was 11 I went to see my first Alice Cooper concert and my grandma scored me and my brother backstage passes, so I have a picture of me with Alice and an autographed program.  I see Alice every time in town and I've only missed him once (I cried).  I even went to see a taping of the Craig Ferguson show that Alice was on.  And I'm determined to meet him again one day so he can sign the picture of us =D  Oh, and for Christmas I FINALLY got this pretty rare autobiography of his from the 1970s, YAY!  Thank you mommy =]  (This probably could've been a post of its own, it was pretty long but oh well haha.)

5. Okay so I was writing about my lucky celebrity encounters here...and then I just started blabbing on about random stuff and people and things like that and it started getting really long and braggy sounding so I decided to nix it.  But maybe one day I'll post it.  Who knows.

This post is getting entirely too long.  My apologies, but like I said I'm bored!  Bye for now =]

My Sharona

I'm quite bored and tired right now.  I'm laying around listening to My Sharona and trying to think of things to do other than fall asleep, but I think that's a losing battle.  I really want some pasta but there's only chicken and no ground turkey, and chicken tastes really weird with marinara sauce as I discovered last night.

Right now I'm home alone because my dad's in the hospital having knee surgery and my mom's over there waiting, but I didn't feel like getting up at 5 AM to go down there.  I've been informed that surgery is over and they had to drill into the bone, which was previously unplanned, so he can't put any weight on his leg for 6 weeks.  That should be extremely interesting.

I'm either going to watch Crank Yankers, The Real Housewives Of Orange County, or go back to sleep now.

Ironic

Well, maybe it isn't ironic but I just realized I made my last post at almost the EXACT same time I posted last Christmas Eve.  Last year I posted at 1:20 PM and this year I posted at 1:19 PM.  I swear I didn't do it on purpose, haha.

I'm easily amused.  Get over it.

Jingle Bells, Batman Smells

So I realized that today marks the one-year anniversary of this blog.  Amazing!  I'm laying here, once again, in anticipation of the arrival of the crazies.  There is an interesting version of Jingle Bells sung by Elvis blasting from the other room.  I'm still in my pajamas and I'm conjuring the energy to get dressed.  So that's terribly exciting.

I really have nothing to say, I just felt I should mark the one-year anniversary.  Yay.

After Midnight

Wayyy after midnight!  I'm actually kind of sad that I'm up this late.  For a week or two there I had a very normal sleep schedule - in bed by 8 or 9 PM, up anywhere from 4:30 to 6 AM.  I was enjoying it!  I had more energy, and I just felt better.  But I've fallen into a bit of a slump again here.  I would've gone to bed earlier tonight but I have heartburn so I can't sleep.  That darn pizza just didn't agree with me =[  I haven't really had any fast food or too much junk food in the past few weeks, so I suppose it was a shock to my system.  I'm surprised I don't miss junk food more than I do but I'm getting along just fine without it!  I almost caved and went to Del Taco the other night but I decided I didn't really need it, so I'm good =]

In other news, I'm really really really pushing to try to get a Blackberry Storm.  That phone is calling my name!  It's so freaking awesome and I've never gone out and gotten an "it" phone right when it came out.  I love my current phone very very much (I have an orange enV) but it's about a year and a half old and it's acting up on occasion.  Back in March it freaked out completely for about a day and just wasn't working right at all, but I wonder if it had something to do with the metal detectors at the airport.  And the other day it wouldn't let me erase messages in my inbox until I turned it off and on again, which was annoying.  But the Storm...it just looks wonderful.  The only downside is that they require you to add an extra $30 a month for unlimited Internet and e-mail.  I could live without it if it meant getting the phone, but Verizon is a big weenie and says no.  So instead I have to push the 'rents.  Which is always enjoyable (not).

So...yep.  In other news I'm working on my Christmas list, which again is comprised mainly of books with a few DVDs thrown in for good luck.  And a 32GB iPod Touch, but I'm 95% sure that's never happening because it's so damned expensive, and I'm 99.9999999% sure I won't get it if I get the Storm.  I can't really think of anything else except like...make-up and clothes and what have you.  Hmph.  But I love books =D

And now I'm going to try to get some sleep so I can spend tomorrow doing homework (I finished my senior project, yay!) and picking up a big box of crap that we bought wholesale.  The box is exciting but the homework...not so much.

When The Saints

This morning, after having been up all night, at around 8:30 AM I decided to have some breakfast.  I had the breakfast of champions!  Easy Mac with pomegranate applesauce, two sugar cookies, and a glass of orange juice slush (courtesy of my fridge that has currently decided to act as a freezer).  I enjoyed my meal while watching a movie I hadn't seen in AGES!  Wee Sing and the Marvelous Musical Mansion!  It was my favorite movie when I was little and I still remembered most of the songs.  Now I think I'm going to try to get some sleep because I have class in 4 hours and 40 minutes.  Then I get to come home and do homework.  Yay =/

GOOD NIGHT!
