McDonald’s
Sofy:
Let me start off with McDonald’s. We watched that Super Size Me movie for Health today. That movie is just such a load of crap. McDonald’s is good, people, and you know it. Big deal if you get obese. If you don’t wanna be fat, that don’t eat too much. It’s all about controlling yourself. And the dude also said that the nuggets are made from the breasts of chickens with big breasts. But nuggets are the best thing in McDonald’s, even if they’re made of saggy chicken boobs. And after watching all that red and yellow on TV, I was hungry so I convinced my mom to take me to McDonald’s. And I HAD NUGGETS.
This morning I watched the last episode of How I Met Your Mother’s second season. Now I have to wait four months until I get to see the third season. (That is, IF they don’t cancel it)
Also, since I was sick this week, my parents bought a bunch of those pills for my throat, and they gave me the whole packet, which was suuuuch a mistake, because I had all of them yesterday. They’re just addictive.
Why Are Villans Villans?
Alvy:
I don’t understand, why can’t villans be heroes? Again, referring to the Tomb Raider Legend game in which is so cool, and I can’t stop playing it. There is this girl, Amanda Evert, who was Lara Croft’s (The main character’s) friend. They went in this archeologist thingy, and this demon guarded the tomb they were researching, the beast brought them both to this chamber and Amanda took this stone off the wall to save her life, or at least try, it worked, but she was trapped in the room, a bunch of rocks fell on her and she “drowned” when water flooded the place. A few years later, Lara discovered that she was alive, and she didn’t understand, how come she never told her? Turns out she felt deep hatered towards Lara, for not digging her out, and then she became Lara’s enemy.
Amanda got this cool haircut, a few tatoos, and dyed her hair platinum blonde, and from flower-filled shirts and simple shorts, she was now using leather tops and pants, she is so much cooler when she’s Lara Croft’s enemy… it will be terrible when I reach the part of the game in which I have to kill her, I mean she’s so cool and all, and if all the girls looked the same, they would look like Lara Croft (In Tomb Raider Legend, since the first version of the series made Lara a little too “evolved”) well, the villans have so many better reasons to be villans than heroes have to be heroes, although it actually depends, I agree that I can’t generalize everything… I love both, every villan and every hero have their ups and downs… or downs… or ups…
3:00, Sunday
Sofy:
I’m all sick again. It’s this damn cold weather that makes everybody runny-nosed and depressed with all its windy grayness. I have to keep the tissue box right next to me because I sneeze every two seconds, and I’m wearing so much clothes I look like a snowman, I swear. My stomach also hurts because I ate too many pancakes for breakfast and too much curry for lunch. And those two do NOT mix well. Especially when breakfast is at 11:30 and lunch is at one.
Yesterday night my brother came into my room and I just knew he was gonna ask something, but before he did, we had a pretty interesting conversation about things that aren’t interesting. He kept trying to say something, and I was looking at our blog search terms thingies, so he only got to say “If you help me, I’ll-” before I interrupted him with something stupid, like “Hey, what’s ‘karate footjob’? What’s footjob? Does it have anything to do with handjobs or other kind of ‘jobs’? Or is it just a job about feet?” or “Who would search ‘vibrators and pregnancy’, in quotes, and get to our blog?” I’m so retarded sometimes, am I not? (And now we’re gonna get even more weird people getting to our blog)
Turns out he just wanted me to make waffles with him, and he ended up convincing me. It was fun. We talked about school, movies, books, anything. And the waffles were goooood.
(Stops writing so that she can blow her nose)
So now it’s three o’clock. The end of the weekend. And I still have the end of a portuguese book to read, part of an English essay to do, and the 4th American Pie movie to watch (No Alyson Hannigan in it, but I watched the first three, so whatever). And I’m so not in the mood to do these things…not even the movie. If Alyson was in it, I would watch it right now (Well, actually I’d have watched it before), but she isn’t so I’m not that much looking forward to it.
Antisocialism is Bliss
Alvy:
I HATE it when there are these group activities when you have to act, or do anything in front of the class other than present a project or something like that, I’m telling you, I’M NOT A FRICKIN’ ACTOR!
This semester only had these activities. SOme time ago for english, we had to act two lines from “Romeo and Juliet” and guess what, I had Sofy as a partner and one of us had to be Juliet and the other Lady Capulet. I chose to be Lady Capulet, because to me she is less girly than Juliet, and how can I act out lines that have no point? I just hate everything about it, especially being so antisocial, like I am.
Today, In portuguese class, we had to make up this interview and we had to decide who we were going to be, it could be a celebrity, or you in 20 years, and of course, I HATED the idea. And to make it even worse, Sofy asked me if I wanted to be Christina Aguilera and I said NO, but then, her sound filter filtered it wrongly and she heard YES, so she asked Cida if I could be her, and everyone just stared ate me, I wanted to get Sofy by the hair and throw her out the window, so I protested, and told the trust. Sure, I like Christina Aguilera, but I don’t want to be her. The rest of the class, everyone tried to convince me to be someone famous, professions such as “Movie Director” and “Show Biz Something” showed up, and then Carol mentioned Justin Timberlake (And why is she comparing me to him?) and “Marlim” (Or “Marlin” or something) from Nemo, I mean, where does she get these ideas from?
So, I’m going to have to, either choose someone/something/what to be for tomorrow, or not choose anything and let Sofy get an F, and me too (And I think that’s the one I’m choosing for now, who told Sofy to humiliate me in the middle of class?) But anyways, I hate these socail activities ANYWHERE, and I WILL hate every teacher that forces me to do such a thing.
Adults.
This being grounded thing sucks. My little brother and I were in the house alone since my mom had to take my older brother someplace and my dad was working. And I was listening to music, and I had the earphones on because Danny was complaining about the noise. So when my parents called I didn’t hear the phone, and apparently they kept calling until finally, I hear the shrill annoying ring of the stupid phone. But when I answered the line was dead. So I called my dad again, because I had seen in the caller thingy that it was him who had called. But no one answered.
And they got home five minutes later, and I had just gotten into the internet when my dad slammed open the door. And he looked at the screen, and since my homepage is TV.com, he got even angrier because he thought I was using the internet for stuff other than homework. And he asked me why I hadn’t answered the phone, and I explained and he didn’t believe me, of course, because adults never seem to believe me. So now I’m in a new level of grounded. I don’t have any good DVDs in my room anymore, and I think he might not let me even watch them on this weekend. Which majorly sucks, because I just got my How I Met Your Mother DVD yesterday. Now all I have to do this weekend is read stupid books, which I am being forced to read. Reading against my will. Reading when I don’t want to read. I’ve read all the books in this world worth reading, and the rest are all boring.
This is just so unfair. He should just listen to me and he would see that this stuff is only happening because my shitty life is against me. I got bad grades because Ylane and Rodrigo are mean and hate me. I got double-grounded because of my stupid idiotic good for nothing homepage. (Actually it’s a great site, but I’m just pissed off)
And today I got an 64% on my History test. Now let me prove just how wrong this is. Rodrigo always says that if we use pen for the test, we can complain about him grading wrong later, if we use pencil, we can’t, because we could just erase our answers and say he marked it wrong. I used pen. The test was all multiple choice, and for this one question, I circled an answer, but then decided it was wrong, crossed it off, and circled the answer above it, which turned out to be the right one. And today he gave us back the test and this question, with the crossed off answer and the right answer, was marked wrong. So I went to talk to him about it, and he said that he couldn’t see which one I had circled. What an idiot. A blind idiot. A blind idiot asshole that I wish so much would get hit by a bus (okay, I’m being a bit dramatic, but whatever). Every person in the class agreed that he should have marked the question right. But he still didn’t change it. Than one question could’ve gotten me from a D- to a C! Which okay, isn’t very good, but isn’t a fail, either! He should get fired. And he should also get glasses. Well, he already has them, but he should get better ones.
Hikaru Utada
Alvy:
I hope you’ve all noticed the makeover we’ve done in “On Our Way,” in which, in my opinion, is so much prettier.
Well, now lets get back to the title of this post. Hikaru Utada is my favorite JPop singer, and one of my favorite singers. I wanted to introduce her to you guys if you never heard about her.
Hikaru Utada (Or Utada Hikaru as she is also known) was raised in the United States, but she has Japanese decendense, therefore, she knows japanese and English. She first made a band with her parents, and it was named U3 (Utada 3) and later on, she named the band Cubic U. She started her career being named in Europe and the US as Cubic U, and in Japan as Hikaru Utada (Her real name) and of course, after many singles, she started to win fame and all, and even beat the record in Japan of most albums sold, she sold 6 million copies of “First Love” (Her first album) in which by the way, it’s weird, because Christina Aguilera sold like 25 million copies of her 4th album, “Back To Basics.”
After some time, Hikaru became the best known JPop singer, and I introduced her to Sofy and now, even though we don’t understand anything she says in most of her songs, we just love her voice and the rhythm of the songs. The only album that we actually understand is “Exodus” because it’s in english, (Ms. Coggio probably remembers when I asked her what “Exodus” meant) and it’s one of the best albums I ever heard. I recommend Hikaru Utada’s album if you want a stunning vocalist with awesome beats in the same song.
Headstrong
Alvy:
Some time ago, I had posted about Ashley Tisdale, and the name of the post is “Big Talent, Small Stage.”
So, I’m here to write where she is now in her career. I have to say, she worked hard in her new album, Headstrong, and I’m telling you, it paid off, it’s one of the best albums I have ever heard, and I’m telling you, I have 946 songs in my iPod.
Ashley Tisdale really did cut the strings that tied her to “High School Musical” and now her songs are much more mature and her voice is amazing, she finally shows what her voice is actually capable of, and the best of all, she is no longer such a “Disney Girl” (And what I mean by “Disney Girls” is the kind of girl that makes people think that she’s all innocent and perfect, and bla bla bla, like Hilary Duff WAS, Like Lindsay Lohan WAS). I know that I always say this, but anyway, I would recommend that the next time you go to the mall, you buy this album, I’m sure you’ll all like it (Actually, I’m not, but only if you have terrible taste for music).
I couldn’t be “prouder” for her, Oh, and if you want a sample of what she’s capable of, watch her new music video “Be Good To Me” in YouTube!
Britney Spears
Alvy:
I can’t help to feel sorry for Britney Spears. She had the perfect career, although I can’t say she had the perfect life, since her husband is so not a role-model, and can you believe that he made her pay 6 million dollars for him not to produce a tape that they recorded in their “intimacy?” I don’t think there is any word to describe him, other than bastard.
But that was only the beginning, Britney Spears got addicted to drugs, and shaved her head, in order to get a new look. She was put into one of thoes places that you stay whenever you’re addicted to something. in that place she attempted suicide, but it wasn’t sucessful. And I don’t know when, but she attempted to suicide one more time, and tried to murder 2 paparazzi with an umbrella. I can’t imagine the pain she is going through, she gave birth to two babies, and she’s not exactly the best mother. I heard that once, she escaped from the place she was in to recover from her drugs addiction, and got her yougest baby, I don’t know from where, but she did, and she got a motel, sat on the floor, and started to rock her baby.
Britney Spears is one of my favorite singers, and I keep on thinking that she will recover and pass from this fase on her life, but I started to think that it will never happen. I’ve been informed that once, she was running up and down the halls of “the place she recovers from her drug addiction” and shouting out that she was the anti-christ.
I just hope she recovers, not only from her addiction, but that she also recovers her career, and that she becomes the old Britney again!
Music
Sofy:
Coffee House is tonight. It’s too bad, because I won’t be able to go. My mom is out somewhere with my grandmother and I don’t know when she’ll be back, and hell cell phone isn’t working. My dad said that if I had told him before he would take me, but today he has too much work.
I really wanted to go because Cary and Vanessa are gonna act out a Romeo and Juliet scene and I really wanted to see that, and also Alvy said that Alice is going.
Also, today I found out that one of my friends from school is leaving to go to some other country. I can’t say who, because it isn’t final yet and the person doesn’t want me to tell anyone.
Yesterday I got a B- on my History quiz. (This is supposed to be good news, ok?) After that time when I got an F I didn’t get any more major bad grades, and once I ever got an A+. Yesterday night I also watched Josie and the Pussycats and Ice Princess, and now I’m addicted to this song called Backdoor Lover, by this ”fake” band called Dujour (only made for the Josie and the Pussycats movie) and this other song called If I Had It My Way, by Emma Roberts, which played in Ice Princess. Both very good songs.
On the topic of music, today after school (it was a half-day) my mom and Danny and I went to this music store place to find out if they have drums lessons and they do. I’ve wanted to learn to play the drums for a long time, and Cary thought that Alexandre (the guitar teacher at school) taught it, but it turns out he didn’t really, he knows the basics and stuff. That’s what he told me. So I sort of forgot about it, but yesterday when I was watching Josie and the Pussycats I really wanted to try again.
Well, I’m really excited. I hope I start really soon.
Why I Haven’t Written in Awhile and About Amber Benson
Sofy:
There are two reasons I haven’t been writing. First of all, Alvy isn’t writing anymore, like, ever, and I’m also pretty sure he doesn’t even read it when I write, so I sort of feel that there’s no point in writing if I know that no one is reading. But then I thought that I’m not really writing for other people, I write for myself, because this blog is where I can say anything I want and all, and if I say something stupid I can always take it back, or edit and stuff.
The other reason is because my internet hasn’t been working. It was SO annoying. I had to use my little brother’s computer to do homework and stuff, and I couldn’t download the Monday episode of How I Met Your Mother or check my hotmail or anything. And we’ve been getting like a ton of spam comments and stuff, but WordPress doesn’t consider it spam, for some reason. I swear this thing is crazy, I mean, it puts normal comments into the spam thingy and the comments that are actually spam, that say all these gross things about ewy porn stuff, goes to our comments page. But anyway, so we’ve been getting a ton of spam and when the internet isn’t working, I’m always paranoid because we have this ’recent comments’ widget and I don’t like the thought of people seeing things about rape and incest (whatever the heck incest is, I just know that it was there a lot) in our recent comments. But whatever. Now the internet is back and I’m happy.
Also, something else happened today. So I was on imdb.com (I love this site. It’s so the best. It has everything) and I was looking at Amber Benson’s profile. Amber Benson is this actress on Buffy, she played Tara, who’s Willow’s girlfriend, and she dies in the fifth season because this stupid jerk asshole nerd wannabe-villain dude (I HATE him) shoots her. So, I was looking at her Trivia page and it said that Joss Whedon (the director) had planned on bringing her back on the seventh season (the last one). It said that on the last episode, Buffy was going to have one wish (This didn’t really happen in the episode), and she could wish for anything, and she was going to think about what she was going to ask for throughout the entire episode, and in the end, the last scene, they would ask her what she wished for and she would step aside and Tara would be behind her. I am SO pissed that this didn’t happen. I was almost crying, because Tara was the best and Willow was so upset and she turned all evil and veiny and black-haired when Tara died (at least she flayed the stupid jerk asshole nerd wannabe-villain dude alive). I wanted to hit something, I was so angry. I hate Joss Whedon, if this was his fault.
But I also discovered that Amber Benson is also one of my favorite actresses. She’s so interesting. I like Alyson Hannigan and Emma Caulfield (also from Buffy and from this movie called Darkness Falls that anyone should watch it’s so cool), but I like Amber Benson in a more admiring-y way. Like a when-I-grow-up-I-want-to-be-like-her way. Because, like, I’m pretty sure I suck and acting. I have stage fright. But I like it. I mean, I was in Drama. I’m just not anymore because I got traumatized because I had to dress up as a horse (I mean, come on. The one year I decide to do drama, the play is about this frikkin rabbit with all these other animals and stuff) Besides, I’m not even sure there is Drama this year. Anyway, I like acting. And if I ever decide to practice, I’ll get over the nervousness thing. But also, she’s a writer, and I’m gonna be a writer. I think she’s written a couple of books and she co-wrote the Buffy 8th Season Comic Book and she’s written and directed and produced these bunch of movies (I’ve never really heard about any of them, but they were in the Sundance Film Festival, so I’m guessing they were okay) and stuff. She also really likes singing (and she has this awesome voice). It’s like, both things I love the most combined. Music and writing. The only problem is that she also likes dancing and dancing is the worst. But, you know, I won’t be exactly like her. I’m just saying that I like that she works in a bunch of different fields. She’s a writer, a singer and an actress. That’s pretty cool.
