The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before

Harry Potter

Hello,


Recently I have felt that my blog has been lacking in oomph. I guess that’s mainly because I don’t have a very interesting life. But something I have been thinking about recently is the 7th Harry Potter Movie. I have already seen it twice already, but am refraining from seeing it a third time, for fear of looking like one of those weird Harry Potter fan girls who dressed up as the characters to see the movie and then spent the whole opening weekend watching it. Saying this I have nothing against people who dress up for movie premieres and stuff, as you may recall I had been going to do that when the movie Legend of the Guardians came out, but I was on a class trip in Williamsburg. The people I do have issues with though, are the people who have memorized the script and had nothing to do with the production of it. Those people make me CRINGE!! I don’t know why but they are so annoying, and yes, I have memorized little bits of the movie like 30 seconds of it, but really, do you HAVE to memorize a two and a half hour movie?!

Something else I have been thinking about is what Hogwarts house I would be in, I have taken countless quizzes and I always come up as a Hufflepuff and on the rare occasion a Gryffindor. Sometimes I think I could be a Ravenclaw, but though I think I'm pretty smart I feel like that doesn’t really embody who I am. But anyway, from all the quizzes and reading the books I have been able to deduce the stereotypes of each house: Slytherin: evil, Ravenclaw: smart Gryffindor: brave Hufflepuff: everyone else. It has been said that Hufflepuffs are the outcasts and are usually average. They are also “particularly good finders” (if you haven’t seen a very potter musical you wouldn’t get this) But, the one thing in common that has shown up in the descriptions of a Hufflepuff is a good friend. They are friends with all the houses (even Slytherin a bit, even though they don’t have the same views, they aren’t like Gryffindors who would pick a fight.) So I believe I would be a Hufflepuff (on the verge of being a Gryffindor). I think I'm too nice to be a Gryffindor (I'm not bragging when I say I’m too nice, because the truth is, I'm pretty bad at being mean, which has not always come in handy)

Lastly I will talk about something that I mentioned earlier: A Very Potter Mucial. Watch it on youtube, trust me it’s funny. Its an actual full length musical (its on the shirter side, at about 1 ½ hours I’d say) but it is beyond funny, you HAVE to watch it.

Ok have a happy thanksgiving,

ttfn

RACCOONS V. CATS II

hello
as my faithful blog readers will know i posted earlier about this issue, thne my friend posted her side of the argument. if you havent already seen it heres the link: http://anamesjustastringofletters.blogspot.com/
i will provide more arguments and stuff.
my argument was "Contrary to popular belief raccoons actually have more in common with pirates than with ninjas, though they resemble ninjas. Since they have the best traits of pirates (the plundering skills and get rich quick schemes) and ninjas (stealth and a black mask) they are elite. What are cats the symbol of? OLD LADIES" her aargument against this was 'My counter argument to this is quite simply that raccoons don't resemble pirates in any way. Sure they rip open trash bags on occasion, but the main difference is that pirates steal treasure and racoons steal trash. This not only means that racoons have no class, but it also means that they don't resemble pirates as far as I can tell." my counter counter argument is this: one mans trash is another mans treasure. Done. another counter argument was that the ancient egyptians prized cats. now let me ask you this: are they still around? NO. because the romans (whose reign was longer and greater than the egyptians) considered raccoons to be sacred instead of cats.

my next argument was as follows "Raccoons also help planet earth, and your wallet. Since raccoons eat your trash they are keeping these foods from being dumped in a land fill where they will rot and cause global warming. They also help your wallet because then you don’t have to pay the trash men to pick up your trash because you wouldn’t have any. What do cats do for the environment? Fart. 50% of the global warming is from cat farts (I think). Plus they will ADD to your trash pile with the litter box stuff, empty cat food bags, etc. Plus all that stuff costs $$ which you want to spend less of" her counter argument was "First off, garbage men are paid by tax dollars, not on an idividual basis, so don't fool yourself by thinking raccoons save you money. Actually, you lose money, since raccoons have to rip open the trash bags to get to the food. In addition, trash gets all over your lawn and who is responsible for cleaning it up? That's right, you... As for the enviroment, most food waste is biodegradable. If you don't know what that means, look it up in the dictionary. It's not the food itself that causes harm in landfills and if you're under the illusion that it is, I've got news for you, because the stuff that ends up in landfills are things that can neither be recycled or composted which includes: Chip Bags, Plastic Wrap, Used tin foil, Meat Packaging, Tissues.
You don't see raccoons stuffing their faces with chip bags, do you? So in short, they do virtually nothing for the enviroment either." my counter counter arguments are as follows:
- ok true... i made up the thing about cat farts (but i do know that cow farts help cause global warming and really... whats the difference?)
- if we had more raccoons we wouldnt have as much trash so less of our tax mney would be used to pay trash men
- cats still cost more money than raccoons
- if we domesticated raccoons we wouldnt have the trash all over the lawn problem because they would live inside and you could train them
- food may be biodegradable but it still takes a while and since poop (which is produced from eating) can be used in soils etc... and biodegrades faster it is still better for the environment

my last argument was that raccoons have dance battles and that cats make retarted noises to sare off their prey. rachel's counter argument is that there is no proof that raccoons have dance battles and cats dont make retarded noises well i have new for you rachel...
- cats do make retarded noises to scare off their prey, it is called hissing
- proof that raccoons have dance battles is coming soon so stay tuned!

imaginary friends

Hello. Today I am planning on talking to you about imaginary friends. When I was little I had an imaginary friend named Piggy. He was a pig. He had a younger sister and he was always mean to her. When we were buying our rabbits the salesperson who was helping us was named Tiggy, but we thought he name was Piggy, so ya… Then when I was four and I started being “bad” I blamed it on Choco. He was my second imaginary friend. Whenever another child in someone else’s family started being bad we would always say that Choco moved in with them. Then in second grade I developed about a gazillion more imaginary friends that I can still list:


• Thunder

• Chocolate

• Milk Chocolate

• Dark Chocolate

• White Chocolate

• Peter

• Kye

• Kaya

…and a few more I can’t remember right now.

Saying this it has come to my attention that some experts believe that imaginary friends are actually ghosts that can only be seen by children because of their purity. I think that sounds interesting, maybe those would be Choco and Piggy for me, but not the others, because I came up with them on purpose and they weren’t technically imaginary friends but whatevs…

I also remember watching a TV show called Foster Home for Imaginary Friends, which was about imaginary friends, but in their world as soon as you thought of an imaginary friend they became real.

I really don’t have too much to say on the subject since I haven’t had one in a while, but I think they are really cool personally.

PS more raccoons v. cats stuff is on the way, I’ve are just having slight technical difficulties

RACCOONS V. CATS

Let me start out by saying that as we ALL know, raccoons are FAR better than kitty cats. Saying that know many of you will ask why. Here are a few reasons that raccoons are better than cats.


Everyone knows that raccoons are the symbol of both pirates and ninjas. Contrary to popular belief raccoons actually have more in common with pirates than with ninjas, though they resemble ninjas. Since they have the best traits of pirates (the plundering skills and get rich quick schemes) and ninjas (stealth and a black mask) they are elite. What are cats the symbol of? OLD LADIES. Since when are old ladies cooler than pirates/ninjas?

Raccoons also help planet earth, and your wallet. Since raccoons eat your trash they are keeping these foods from being dumped in a land fill where they will rot and cause global warming. They also help your wallet because then you don’t have to pay the trash men to pick up your trash because you wouldn’t have any. What do cats do for the environment? Fart. 50% of the global warming is from cat farts (I think). Plus they will ADD to your trash pile with the litter box stuff, empty cat food bags, etc. Plus all that stuff costs $$ which you want to spend less of.

Raccoons are the mascots of Bubble Island, the most addicting game on Facebook. Enough said.

Raccoons have epic self defense skills. They may look all cute and cuddly, but they are actually vicious and strong. They have a better chance of surviving in the wild than cats, which are just cute and cuddly. Raccoons have many different moves they use to take down opponents (generally of the feline type) such as: The Trash Hider. The raccoon hides in the trash can while its prey walks along. At the last minute the raccoon knocks the trash can down, rolls out, and starts the dance battle. This then confuses the opponent and makes them dizzy (from all the pirouetting) and eventually the flop over dead. This is one of the best tactics used by Raccoons to take down small animals, such as cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, hedge hogs, and other animals. Just a few of the many other fighting moves they have are: the flying kick, the flying tail whip, the flying punch, the imaginary flying squirrel punch/kick/tail whip, and many more. What are cats self defense moves? Making retarded noises to “scare” of predators. This generally doesn’t work.

These were just a few of the reasons that raccoons are better than cats.

revelations

hello
today i realized two things.
1: i am going to grow up.

2: professional people have lives outside of work.

these things may seem childish, everyone knows they will grow up one day, but it has finally hit me. when my mom starting talking anout how i only had four more years at home. that did it for me. i have four more years till coleege. holy shitake mushrooms. omigodd omigodd omigodd.

the second thing was that professional people have live's. what made me realize this is partly when i saw "life as we know it" with jane and rachel.  one of the characters starts dating a doctor. ew. ew. ew. idk, but the though of a doctor dating someone makes me sick. the fact that they have families, friends, have taken vacations, have spent all-nighters, have done everything i have done just shocks me. then i thought about my uncle who is a doctor and how he has a wife, kids, neices and nephews, a sister, mom and dad. and now, no matter how hard i try, i cant picture him at work.

hello
im bored i cam eup with a really good topic earlier today but i cant remember what it was so thats no good. i think i will talk about ly classes (give you the run down)

social studies: my teacher is the one and only... MR. L!!! He's a great teacher and gives everyone nicknames, mine was faucet (say a leaky faucet, now say aliki faucet), but then he said it was too obvious so now im just liki. we r working on this huge project where we reserach a supreme court case with a partner. I got Brown v. Board of Education. Its boring, I'll say that much.

ADM: ADM stands for art, drama, music and it is the period in the day when u either have art drama or music. all of these classes are really boring, but my fav ourite is art because we can do homework if we need to.

Latin: my teacher is Mrs. K. Everyone thinks she's weird but i like her. Sure, she makes noises in the middle of class, sure she is a VERY HARD tecaher, but i still like her.
