Hold on, let me get my dollar.

The blog title doesn’t make sense, I know, but let me just explain the story behind it. For the past couple of days at my lunch, there’s been this kid who has been always trying to show someone a magic trick but has had no success since he would gather round a huge crowd, and then the teachers would get all paranoid thinking a fight was going to break loose thus breaking up the magic trick. Therefore, showing his “magic” trick has had no avail. I had no idea, at first why people would stand around this kid, but half of the entire cafeteria would go up and watch him perform whatever trick he’s been trying to do for the past three weeks.

Today, though, the teachers finally allowed him to carry on with the actual trick part. And let me tell you, I’ve never seen a magic trick like this before in my life.

What he does, is he has someone hold a pencil for him. Then he takes a dollar bill and folds it in half. Then, the Harry Houdini gods come upon him and he takes the dollar folded in half and breaks the pencil in half with half a dollar. It’s amazing. He did it like 10 times in a row because the people at the cafeteria wanted to try to find out how he did it but no-one knows.

So, my friend and I having nothing better to do-well, actually we did, we both had to study, but who would study when you could talk about a guy who breaks pencils with half a dollar?-started talking about this. Somehow we got onto the subject of what would ever happen if he ever got into a fist fight with someone. We realized that he could use his dollar skills in a fist fight. My friend (acting as him) said, “Hold on, let me get my dollar.” And that he could chop up anyone’s arm as long as he had a dollar with him.

Oh, yeah my school has people who use dollar bills as their weapon. [:

Two weeks

It’s been about two whole entire weeks since I’ve been able to get on my computer.  I’ll keep this blog short but my cousins had come over for Thanksgiving and decided to stay for about two weeks.  Anyways, I’ve just been able to get on my computer, so sorry for the non comment returning, non e-mail reading, site abandoning Lovely_lady.  The hosted site is on its way, hopefully it’ll be up shortly.  I believe I’ve returned all comments, e-mails, and updated my site so far, so I think I’m good for now.

40 things I am grateful for

With Thanksgiving (an American holiday where we give thanks, for those who didn’t know) today, I decided to come up with a list of 40 things I am grateful for. Why the number 40? 40 is the most common number in the Bible. When something significant occurs in the Bible, it is represented by the number 40. For example, in the story of Noah, it floods for 40 days and 40 nights. (For other instances such as this in the Bible, click here.)

Even though I’m not Catholic, considering 40 is such an important number to Catholics, I thought it would be neat to come up with a list of 40 things I am thankful for. Now, I even made this harder on myself by restricting myself. Instead of naming every family member, I only said my family. (God knows my whole 40 list could just be my family.) Instead of naming every food, I listed only food and so forth. Here is what I came up with. Some are self explanatory, others have background information.

1. Family—Where would I be without them?
2. Dog—She always cheers me up.
3. Books—Gets me out of the real world.
4. Gum—I have an odd addiction to gum.
5. iPod—My music control. I CAN NOT live without this.
6. TV—Provides me with shows like Heroes and Gossip Girl.
7. Food—Survival instinct, I’m fortunate enough to have this while people are starving everyday.
8. Purell—God knows how many viruses I would get without this.
9. Computer—What am I using now to blog? My computer.
10. Planes—Without the Wright Brothers, we’d still be taking much longer journeys than now necessary.
11. Fashion—My guilty pleasure.
12. Home—Everyone needs a safe place to live.
13. Treadmill—Some people need to stay in shape and quit lazing around (this is intended to myself.)
14. Furniture—Wouldn’t it suck if you had to stand all day long?
15. Light—I need an escape from the dark.
16. Sharpies—Oh, the joy of Sharpies!
17. Pictures—Capture the memories.
18. Faith—Without faith, you can’t go on.
19. Heat—I am so fortunate to have a heated home to live in.
20. Water—Everyone needs water.
21. Trees—They help us breathe.
22. Wal-Mart—I get pretty much everything here.
23. Money—I need money in order to buy things.
24. Health—Luckily for me, I have no diseases and am pretty darn healthy.
25. Toilet–*ahem*everyone (including Nick Jonas) at the end of the day poops.
26. Hair Straighter—My hair is a twister without this.
27. Vacation—I love seeing new places!
28. Education—I can read and write, which is so much more than people in third world countries.
29. Personal Hygiene—I’m so happy I can get access to fresh water everyday to be able to take care of my body.
30. Cell Phone—My instant connection to the rest of the world.
31. Communication—We should be thankful that we can communicate with people who speak different languages than us, imagine what a world we would live in without being able to communicate.
32. Music—the way I get out anger issues.
33. Smell of cookies—I adore the smell of fresh made cookies.
34. All five senses—I can hear, I can see. Some people don’t even have that.
35. Printer—School projects.
36. Memory Stick—See above.
37. Privacy—My parents respect me, and I get privacy more than other people (eg; abusive parents)
38. Fire extinguisher—Blow that fire out!
39. Colors—There are so many beautiful things God has granted us like color that people just go on life without thinking about.
40. New ideas—We’d never advance without new ideas.

What are some things you are grateful for?

(In other news, I’m getting hosted at fatedlife.com I’ve already started a layout, I just need to figure out how to install WordPress onto the site–apparently its much harder installing in onto the site–and then I’ll be good to go. Thanks so much for all the many hosting offers, you guys are absolutely great.)

Jonas Brothers are Fake?!

Yeah, that’s right. The Jonas Brothers are fake. Well, not literally. Do you honestly think I would be blogging if I had just found out my beloved, dearest, Nick Jonas was fake?! Um, no I think someone would be too red from tears to blog.

No, what I’m talking about is the Fake Jonas Brothers. That’s right the Jonas Brothers are so popular (and why wouldn’t they be when someone as gorgeous and absolutely utterly amazing as Nick is on their band?) that there’s this group called the Fake Jonas Brothers. You can check them out here: http://www.fakejonasbrothers.com or their Youtube.  They are absolutely hilarious (as per Youtube video) because if you happen to miss the real Jonas Brothers, why not get your picture with the fake ones? (Although to be honest, their Nick just doesn’t do justice.  I mean, you just can’t capture Nick’s beauty into a Fake Jonas Brother.  It’s like trying to make your dog have a conversation with you in English-utterly impossible.)

In other news, I’m thinking of either going back to lovely.west-face.org, finding a new host, or getting my own domain.  Something where I’m not dependent on WordPress anymore because I think I need more space to expand.  I want to add more visitor content for you guys, but I’m worried that I’ll run out of room on little old WordPress here.  Not to say that when I do move, I’ll go back to Cutenews. (Gah!  What was I ever thinking using Cutenews as my blog manager?)  Nah, I’m a complete WordPress converter now, I just need more space to expand.

So, I think since west-face.org is going to expire soon (as per Cammy), I might want to either get my own domain or find anyone willing to host me.  Any suggestions?  I definitely do not have the money for my own domain, so if I was going to get a domain, I’d have to win it or find someone generous enough to give it to me.  (Not that I’m saying I expect any of you guys to do that, that would just be like a miracle.)  So, any suggestions to any sites willing to host or any contest sites (I e-mailed a couple, I’m just waiting for them to get back to me) would be greatly appreciated.  (:

Dirty bedrooms lead to fist fights?

Okay, so by now, if you don’t know this already, I can be quite the lazy person when I want to be. Many of you can see this from my old sites, where I would hardly update. But, oh no, I’m not just lazy with this site, I’m lazy with pretty much everything including my room. My room is to the point where there are five mountains (or very large piles, if you wish) of laundry.

The other day, I needed to get a book cover for my health book. So, I went up to my room. Now, my desk you see is against the wall in my room. Thus, in order for me to be able to get my book cover, I would have to go through the literally five piles of laundry to get to my desk. Now, here is where the laziness kicks in. Why should I go around my laundry when I can simply go over the laundry? I think I managed to get over two before I tripped on the third and crashed into my desk with a big boom!

Something this dramatic can not be left unscratched, so my left portion of my face was all swelled and purple. I even ended up putting an ice pack on it to relieve the excruciating pain.

The next day at school everyone was asking me what had happened to my face. Now honestly, do you think it would be “cool” to say that you were being lazy and crashed into your desk in the process? Errm, no. So what do I happen to come up with? I had a fist fight. Yup, I told anyone who was willing to listen to the story that this girl was hitting on my man (not that I have a man, which everyone at school happens to know) and I punched her in the face. She punched back giving me the swell, which caused me to jump-kick her and knock her out.

Unfortunately, no-one at school happened to believe my story (they stopped listening after I said, “my man”, because a) I don’t have a boyfriend and b) They know I would never refer to a guy as “my man”), but hey, it was a worth a shot, right?
