this is my town, THIS IS MY PRIDE, these are my friends, this is my life

Well if you need to know anything about cloning in the next several days I'm the one to ask, apparently. I just finished a three-and-a-half page essay about the godawful subject. Grace and I coauthored the lovely paper, and I'd say it's pretty good myself. If you'd like to read it, just ask. I'd love to give you a copy. And anyone can feel free to hop on MSN and proof-read it. It's only a huge chunk of my grade... And my mother is off to Arizona, so she's not here to comb through it. Yeah, you did read that right. Not only did my parents leave me and my sister home alone two weekends ago to go to Minneapolis without me, but now my mom has jumped on a plane headed to Arizona to celebrate her parent's fiftieth anniversary. Life's rough, I know. But a weight is off my shoulders now that this essay's done. I extremely dislike English papers.

In other news, it was GORGEOUS outside today. Obviously warm enough to launch a hot-air balloon, because I saw one on my way home from school today. Bizarre, I know. You don't need to tell me. Sure, it was wonderful at fifty degrees at ground level, but up in the air? Most likely not. There's probably an icicle-encrusted hot-air balloon laying about the city somewhere with a dead body falling out of the basket. Or maybe I've been watching too much Supernatural.

Well there's your first February update! I figured you wanted one, but that's about all I got.

P.S. Despite popular belief, there's still four more days to endure before the five day break. FRICK!
P.P.S. Our power went out today when I sat down to write the English essay today. DOUBLE FRICK!
P.P.P.S. I have noticed that no one is attempting my lovely contest. It can't be that hard, people! Not even one comment! FRICK YOU!!!

Wait, There's Werewolves?!

A few things have me immensely happy right now.

I'm talking about the blue American Apparel sweatshirt here, people! I now own one, most of you know. Things get done when you send your parents to Minneapolis with a list. I also own a physical copy of Lucy Gray, which I enjoy highly. And the moving picture is Eatmewhileimhot! or Mister Owl (I'm not quite sure which it is at this point...), which is Christofer Drew's other hardcore band, by the way. Their song Mother May I is amazing. And yes, I am aware of how bizarre it is for Mr. Drew to go from singing like an angel to screaming.



I haaattee these kind of operators from nick santino on Vimeo.

This video. Because it just makes me laugh. Nick Santino of A Rocket To The Moon, by the way. I'm also excited for his and Nevershoutnever's full lengths. Both bands are working on their respective albums.


Sam Winchester. And of course...


Dean. Pretty much anything Supernatural, actually. Funny, looking at that scale in the background, I don't think he's 6'3"...

And there is much more I would like to add to this quaint little blog post, but I have to go watch Supernatural. Oh, and the blog post title is not in reference to Supernatural, although some may assume so. It is actually Mr. Aukerman talking about Twilight.

P.S. I freakin' HATE blogger and their whole picture set-up! Took me an hour to do this post!
