The superbowl is coming up, and apparently NC is getting hyped up b/c of our good friends, the Panthers. I never really pay attention to football, and (regretfully) my motivations for the past superbowls have been the parties and commercials. Commercials are fun to watch sometimes. Especially during the superbowl, where they spend a lot of time and money on them. I'm looking forward to some high quality advertising on Sunday. My grandfather is a big fan and supporter of the San Fransisco 49ers, so I always cheer for them. Unfortunately, they haven't made it very far lately. I think because of his love for the SF49ers, I have always had an underlying hate for the Dallas Cowboys. And the Greenbay Packers. I don't know why, but I just don't like them. It confused me that there is like a basketball team or something that are the 49ers, but like Charlotte or something. It kinda weirded me out. Anyways, I will go into this superbowl with my hopes up that the Panthers will pull through. And that there will be some cool commercials. Hah.

Thank you Dr. Church (birdman) for letting us out of school for a grand total of 9 glorious days (including weekends). I hear a rumor that we may even get a wintry mix on this Sunday and Monday. Seriously. What is a wintry mix? Do they just make that one up so that they won't be wrong? Probably. I really love the weather channel people. It seems like the women meteorologists are always pregnant. Seriously. They have this one meteorologist named Jennifer Lopez. Hah. A good weather guy is Jim Cantore. He is the guy that is always out in the hurricanes. Here's an example of his weather reports: "I'm out in Hurricane Floyd right now, where they have issued a curfew telling everybody to be inside their houses. I am still here, and I think I just saw a mailbox fly by. These are some strong winds, guys..." And then the connection breaks off... I love those. But my favorite weather guy is Paul Kocin. As I'm writing this, I'm getting the strangest sense of deja-vu. Forgive me if I've posted on this before. Anyways, Paul Kocin has a funny voice, and he's the winter weather expert. Gotta love ol' Paul. Anyways... I'm going to go watch some more random TV... one of the joys of snow days.

Ahhh snow. I've lost track of the days. I went over to Montclaire after sunday's blog and stayed there until this morning. Snow is a glorious thing. It is fun playing in the snow, but only when there are people to play with. Now it's time to stay at my house for a while. Hopefully there will not be school tomorrow. Hopefully.

Yay! It finally snowed big enough to play in! Too bad i'm not playing in it... maybe I'll go do that now.

Alas, I've missed blogging. I love writing down my random thoughts. To make up for the lapse, I will now write some random thoughts that have been going through my head that I haven't gotten to voice in a while.

-I burned my finger today. It hurt. A lot. Making pancakes is all fun and games until someone burns their hand. Seriously.

-The John S. Clark "convention" was held at Cross Creek a couple of days ago. I love it when they come to Cross Creek. They all have white trucks, so both parking lots are packed with seemingly identical white trucks. It makes me smile, because it looks so cool!

-I realize that I become extremely paranoid at night. It is really rather weird. Just ask Shmimmy. Hah.

-For some strange reason, my friends have started talking about Prom. I know you must be thinking... "isn't prom may 1st? and isn't this january?". Exactly my point. What's worse is that they've sucked everybody into it. See, I'm even talking about it. darn. Yesterday was the worst. It was everywhere. We decided to go to the movies because our friends were either sick, with their boyfriends, or prom dress shopping. At the movies, the girls behind us were talking about prom during the previews. ahhhh! Then, Erin's mom called her during the movie. I'll give you three guesses as to what she wanted to talk about, and the first two don't count. Hopefully this will die down and we can get back to our normal lives.

-My math classes are fun. Not the actual classes, but the people in them. I have Coach Hayes for 2 periods in a row, and Nancy, Sami, McKenzie, and I have them together. Coach Hayes says the randomest things. Some of his sayings include: "riddle me this, pre calculus students..." and "historically, this graph will be linear" and "you'll probably never get such a rinkydink problem like this on the AP exam". Whoa there. We get off topic sometimes, which is the fun part. I'm glad it is enjoyable, because otherwise I don't know if I could stand it.

Whoa. That felt good. I'm officially back. Yay!!!

I was thinking about the phrase "cat and mouse game" the other day, because my cat was chasing a mouse around our basement. You're probably thinking why does she have mice in her basement?... so I'll explain. We are getting our kitchen remodeled, so we had to move all of our food to the basement where there is this little kitchen area, so we would have a place to eat. Food naturally attracts mice. Anyway. So while watching 24 on Fox on Tuesday, a mouse scampered past me and my cat, Pooky, was not far behind. He would kind of hit the mouse around a little, then the mouse would roll over and play dead, and then Pooky would look away and the mouse would roll back over and start to run away. Then Pooky would once again hit it around a little bit, and so it went. I understand the "cat and mouse game" better now because it makes a lot of sense. Sometimes you don' t know where people come up with those phrases, but this one is legitimate. Oh yeah, Pooky chased the mouse into a camera bag and we released it into the wild. Not the camera bag, but the mouse.

Sad news. I quit band. I know you're torn up about it, but try to deal. I will continue to play the oboe, but not in the MAHS band. I switched classes to take AP Statistics. It has a scary name, but will be quite easy. I'm excited about what the year will offer with this new schedule change. Another AP credit, but also another AP test. I don't like those. Well, I shouldn't say that because I have only taken one that I didn't like. I've only taken one. Well whatever, I'm assuming that none of them are fun. I don't know of any test at all can be considered fun. Unless it was a test on fun, but then it would have to be fun. Ok that's enough. And I apologize, I should have spelled the previous "fun"s "phun". I apologize. Adios, amigos!

School started today. It totally sucked. I'm suffering from vacation withdrawl. If this was any other day and I didn't have a puffy, sore face and wasn't so hungry, I think it would have been just fine. Things are looking up. Soon I won't have an after school responsibility (swimming), and I will be able to come directly home and relax. Soon.... very soon.... but I still have to deal with Pre-Cal, which isn't really that hard but will be my biggest challenge. I'm getting prepared for next year, where I will be working out the wazoo. Alrighty, enough complaining. I can't think of any decent topics to ramble on about, so I will say my goodbyes. "My goodbyes."

Hello, all. I got my wisdom teeth out on New Years Eve, and today I look like a chipmunk! If it didn't hurt so much to do so, I would laugh at the sight of my chubby cheeks. One good thing that has come out of this experience is the discovery that I like cottage cheese. It is really good. Really, really, really good. Also, chocolate pudding livens up the spirits and gives energy. I also found out that too much I love the 80's can be a bad thing. I watched it all day yesterday. Whoa there.

I'm gonna go watch the television and ice my cheeks with frozen peas. Fun times to the max.
