 | Category: Fashion, Style, Shopping I always wanted to have a really kickass costume you know the kind that are like the best ever! I mean a really quality one not those cheap kind they sell at Halloween time that are made of nylon. And what's with these costume themes? I've been thinking the best costume I can have is one I make myself. It will be more durable than one bought from the store and it will probably cost less too. I mean costumes today cost more than durable clothes you can wear than once a year. I don't know how many times I've heard people complaining about how their costume didn't look like the one on the package pimped out with all the optional accessories. But I'm not going to diss Halloween it's probably my fave holiday next to Christmas that is still #1 with me. I would write about how much I love Christmas but that is for another blog. I already have some ideas for next year's costume. But I won't tell what they are. In closing I think the best costumes are the ones that let you be yourself or be somebody else. |

Costumes
Originally posted on Tuesday, October 24, 2006
I understand the traditional ones like the witch and the devil or even ones that are based off movies and tv shows like the Stewie (from Family Guy) and Jack Sparrow costumes. But some of them just put words like "Naughty", "Sexy", "Hot", "Punk", and "Goth" in front of costume names. Like the "Gothic Geisha", "Punk Skeleton", and "Naughty Newscaster". Ok, ok I made the last one up. But there could be a costume like that eventually. 
More thoughts on Halloween
Originally posted on Friday, October 27, 2006
| Ok after writing my first Halloween blog I noticed that I forgot to mention some other things. Mooching kids/adults: Ok does that baby in the bunting dressed as a puppy really going to eat that Snickers bar? Because everybody knows the candy is for your baby. Please if you are coming back to my house for 2nds please have the decency to come back for more candy in a different costume. What are you supposed to be? I hate when that happens. You think your costume is so great as what you thought or hoped you looked like. That is so annoying. Last year WWE Raw made fun of this by having nobody know who Todd Grisham was supposed to be. I would really like to know what constitutes a Halloween song? Because some people are really confused. I mean is "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" by Panic! at the Disco a Halloween song? Please explain this to me. I fail to see how it is. "Dead Man's Party" and "Don't Fear the Reaper" are Halloween songs well to me. For the record I don't even listen to BOC, but I do know that song. ("More cowbell!") Don't forget "Ghost Town" by the Specials I just love that song. Those first few things are my dislikes/gripes with Halloween. Here are some of the things I like about it. The Candy: Ok it's not Halloween without the candy, and I love candy. Actually I love any holiday with candy floating around. Ok some holidays I like more than others. I like Halloween more than Valentines Day. Plus I like a lot of seasonal Halloween candy a lot of people don't like. I like mellocreams aka candy corn and those peanut butter kisses. Make up and dress: I'm not talking about costumes here well sort of. What I mean is that for Halloween or around Halloween time you can get away with wearing an outfit you wouldn't normally wear and I'm not talking about sexy clothes either. I mean you can get away with wearing wild make up and dark colored nail polish with out being made fun of. I prefer dark polish year round. Especially black, you can get away with black because it's "festive". You can also get away with wearing "tacky" clothes you never had the courage to wear on any other day and call it a "costume". Being Scared: You know this is a fun thing to do or have done to you. I know I like it. Wow. This part of the blog sounds a little perverted. You people and you dirty minds shame on you! I just mean I like to be scared and scare people. |

Does This Count as a Costume?
Originally posted Saturday, November 01, 2008
| You know Halloween is like the only time you can get away with wearing badly applied makeup. So I decided to badly apply eyeliner. People will just think it's part of a costume or something. But it won't a be a costume like "badly applied eyeliner lady". That would just be silly. But I call dibs on that costume for future use. It was my idea. J/K.  My nails are polished all black and glossy. So elegant. I was going to wear my witch dress, but I guess I gained a little more weight than I thought I did. It was really tight in the stomach area. It's a pretty old costume though. I've had it since the 90s. Maybe I need to buy a new one. It's all raggedy looking. Can I still find a modest witch dress costume? I don't want to pay a lot of money for it. I guess I could always try to make one or something. I was also planning on wearing a cape, but I decided not to. I ended up wearing my long black skirt with a black shirt and my black and white striped socks. I love my black and white striped socks. They are so cute! I don't know if I like my black and white striped ones or my red and white striped ones better. I should really buy a velvet hooded cloak. I think those are so elegant. "I would drape myself in velvet if it was socially acceptable." as George Costanza would say. I do love velvet. I think it's one of my favorite fabrics. A lot of people didn't come to my house. I though a lot of people would since it was a Friday. There is still a bunch of candy left, but I can take care of that.  In non-Halloween related news I hurt my foot by having a vacuum fall on it while was vacuuming with no shoes on.  I guess I should wear shoes when I vacuum now. I also managed to finish my review of Hi-Chew candy which will be up in a few days. |

Last blog before school
Originally posted on Monday, February 25, 2008
| Category: Life Since this will be my last blog before I start up school again. I want to talk about some different things cause I know my return to school will bring some type of interesting story. Valentines Day: You know I'm not really big on starting up the new semester in late February because you get out in June. But I like it for 2 reasons; February sweeps (which didn't really matter this year because of the strike) and I don't have to be in school on Valentines Day. The Writers' Strike: I'm so glad it got resolved. To show my support I wasn't really watching any prime time besides WWE wrestling . The writers the WWE use aren't even in the WGA. So I thought it was "ok" to watch. I was getting by in January when the late night shows returned. I even have "strike bangs/fringe" well not really I've been growing out the nice little hack job I gave myself a little before Halloween. To get by I tried to write fan fiction. I haven't done that on a while. I wrote one for The Office and 30 Rock. I never finished them. Here is a quick summary of the stories I wrote. For The Office one Kevin's band is featured in a local music tv show and Pam wins a trip for 2 (never determined the place in story) and Michael gets jealous because she won a prize. 30 Rock; due to the writers' strike the writers of TGS are on strike and picket outside the building. Tracy thinks they are protesting for some political cause. Jack is desperate for programming so he gets Kenneth to help him again. What did I do to get by? I watched DVDs and videos of course. I mostly watched cartoons and my John Cena DVD. Plus his DVD gave me something "new" to watch while he was injured. I was either doing that or I was online. I still don't know what'll happen on Scrubs. I hope it all comes on tv, but if it doesn't I'll get the DVDs. I really want to know what happens at the end. I really hope JD and Elliot will get together. I'm a big supporter of that couple. I don't even know why I'm saying that they are fictional characters. I know a lot of people don't like to see all the couples they support. But if you are curious I'll tell you other ones from other shows I watch. Pleas don't ask about a show I don't watch like Lost because I'm not familiar with the couples on that show. I also want to know what that janitor's real name is. For some reason I think it has to do with or have a connection to The Picture of Dorian Gray. I also watched sports, real sports. I mostly watched bowl games and Laker games. I also got back to journaling on paper. Man I really missed that. Week in review may or may not be back, it just depends on how much homework and "material" I have. |

Let’s get Sporty with some Candy!

| It's already the first of October and it's still hot! I guess we can blame global warming for that. But with the beginning of October means there will be lots of candy floating around. One of my favorite things! I love candy! Today I started thinking about Halloween candy and I was craving a caramel apple pop. Now I have to go out an get some. I'm also thinking about the baseball playoffs. The Dodgers and the Angels are in it. Wouldn't it be so cool it they ended up being in the World Series together? It's highly unlikely, but I would love to see it. |

Let’s Get Physical Science!

Sorry this blog is a little late I had 3 homework assignments due in 2 weeks. So the stuff in this blog is like 2 weeks old.
I know the title sounds like Engrish. I wanted it to sound like that.
Monday
I was planning to go to the Wrestlemania 24 press conference at Staples Center. But it would’ve been hard to get to Staples Center without a car. It’s so hard to get to the city. It would have been funny if I had gone and took unauthorized pictures of Cena with my camera phone and got it confiscated. But what I really want to know is my are they having a press conference here in Los Angeles instead of Florida?
When I was watching The People’s Court there were some that were made during the writers’ strike. I didn’t even know somebody wrote for that show. I just thought it was just the judge and the litigants. Anyway the part in the beginning before the case there is a part that goes "This is the plaintiff (name) and he/she says…" I had no idea somebody wrote that. The writers’ strike episodes have a scrolling message at the bottom that says it was made during the strike. I thought somebody just read the statements the litigants made. I know somebody had to write those lame case titles though.
Tuesday
When I start up school I have to eat a big breakfast. I took my old outdated radio because I’m taking a morning class which is a killer I like to listen to the Kevin and Bean show. The ride to school wasn’t that bad and I was feeling somewhat optimistic. I felt that way because I was starting a new semester. I usually start them with some degree of optimism. When I got off the bus I jumped off (and didn’t hurt myself). I usually only do this when I’m trying to get away from homeless people. When I got off the bus I saw there was a girl from one of my classes from last semester who I use to talk to. But I stood way behind her so she wouldn’t notice me because I forgot her name. It was really bothering me that I couldn’t remember it. Since I was at school a half hour early to make the roster I decided to walk around and see what was there. I went to where the food is sold just to see how much it went up since food prices are rising at all places including overpriced school food. A breakfast plate costs $6.50. I wondered how much food I could get for that much.
You have to get to class early to make the roster. Plus you have to fight it out with the people who want to add. When class finally started the teacher said it might be cancelled due to budget cuts. I didn’t really care I didn’t want to be there anyway. The worst thing was that I didn’t need the lecture and I could just take the lab. The counselor lied to me! (more about the counselors in another blog) I was really hoping the first class would be short, but she actually had us take notes and stuff. I was so bored. We got out of class when were suppose to.
Wednesday
I went to get my book for class and some worksheets for class. I had to get the worksheets at some copy store. The guy working there was pretty nerdy and said not to pretend we (my dad and I) were smarter than him. Why do I always run into nerdy people who work in stores?
I was reading this old article about John Cena and the funny thing was that it said that 6 years ago Cena talked like a surfer. I could not even imagine him talking like that. http://www.toromagazine.ca/1006/johncena/index.html
Thursday
When I got to school I was looking for napkins because I forgot to bring some from home and I had brought a messy snack with me to eat. I wish they put prices on the food they sell there like granola and energy bars. I want to know how much they are inflated. They do sell Jones Soda for $1.80 a bottle. I noticed that a breakfast bowl is $3.99 not as high as the $6.50 one, but that’s still expensive and I forgot to mention that neither of those include drinks. Couldn’t you get a fast food combo meal (sandwich/burrito side and drink) for about $3.99 or less? I also saw they were selling one orange for $1.25. I could get like a sack or oranges at the store for that much.
When I get to class I see this sign by the door that said "Book 4 Sell". For anybody who hasn’t been to college before; people who are selling old books that are usually at a cheaper price than the bookstore sells post signs all over campus advertising their book(s) and then there is some type of contact info like a phone number or an email address. Gotta love badly spelled signs at Junior College. It reminded me of the "I sale Mary Kay" sign I saw on a car in the school parking lot last year. I don’t remember if I blogged about that sign or not.
The lecture was long and boring and I was taking notes and writing. During one part of the lecture I wasn’t really paying attention to what I was writing and I tried to erase what I had written in pen because I was taking notes in pencil. The thing I hate about these long classes is that we don’t get a break. I mean if I didn’t plan my blogs and stuff in there I’d go nuts. My brain can’t take it. It’s mentally draining.
This one girl asked me about the lab book when I was talking to her I noticed she was wearing neon pink and green eye shadow. One color blended into the other which I thought would make brown. (red+green=brown) It reminded me a little on something Mimi would wear (from the Drew Carey Show) But that girl has her own look. I think she’s brave. I know I wouldn’t wear that.
Then it was time for lab. A 3 hour lab, a 3 hour lab. (sing to the tune of the Gilligan’s Island theme song) I have the same teacher for both classes. She told us that the class will usually take the whole 3 hours. Great!
I was working with 2 boys; we had to be in groups of 3. It wasn’t like the groups were chosen we picked them, so I just took the closest people. The funny thing about my group is that one of the guys is a math nerd. These types are a very interesting character. I find it hard to communicate with them since they see everything in mathematical terms, and I don’t. My old high school math tutor was like that. He reminded me of him in a lot of ways. I can’t do math very well. I can get by. I know how to do the 4 basic functions (add, subtract, multiply, and divide) I can also so fractions and some basic algebra. He was doing the equations we had to figure out in his head. The other guy and I were lost @o@. I had to work them out. I never do math in my head unless it’s something simple. The funny thing was that he was so confident in his answers. The teacher walked by and told my group our equations were wrong. I actually got a different answer than him, but I figured it was wrong because I’m not good at math. It takes balls to be so confident in a wrong math answer. I’m like "I don’t know if it’s right. Maybe? Let’s just move on to another problem." He was telling me about how much he enjoys math and that he takes calculus. That shot down the confidence I had in my math skills even more. He was telling me and the other guy about how easy math is (for him). I’m not going to say or pretend I’m good at something I’m not. Plus how could you fake being good at math?
When we were doing the lab the math guy said he would count backwards in Chinese and after he counted he said he was really counting backwards in Japanese like I would’ve noticed. I don’t remember much from Japanese even though I took it 1 year ago.
I had to go to the bathroom so I left the room when I got back to the room I passed that sign again and thought it would be funny to take a picture of it. This is when a camera phone comes in handy.
When class was over I saw that sign again so I went and I took a picture of it. Before I did I made sure nobody saw me in the hall doing that. I didn’t want anybody to think I was taking pictures of the school for other reasons. I had to take the picture twice because the first one didn’t come out. When I had the best picture I looked at it in my phone and laughed.

breaking news!

I just want to say as a preface that I don’t hate all reporters. I bet there are some really good ones out there. Apparently none of them were in my class. I didn’t like those reporters in my class because they were cliquish, boastful, loud, obnoxious, and snobby.
Ok well I know I had been stressing out about my wrestling paper for my comm. class. Well today was the day to present your work. I got lucky and drew a good number so I won't be able to present it until at least next class maybe even the class after that if I'm really lucky. That loud reporter girl was complaining about how she had stayed up all morning until 3AM editing thier presentaion. I was hoping the projecter would be broken so we couldn't play videos or DVDs. That reporter girl was so mad because she wanted the whole class to see what she did. Um...ok -_-

Then she changed her story and she was up until 4AM editing it. She was so mad she called that dreanged reporter teacher on her phone to get another room so she could show what she had made. So we had to go to another room.
The room we went to was my old stomping grounds. Well it was the room I used to have that deranged reporter teacher's class in. It brought back old memories. Of me coming in on Fridays after I had watched Smackdown and was busy thinking about Cena 
The good thing was that teacher wasn't in the room. That would've sucked. And me with no gum 
Well they did a newsboradcast of news stories from the school. It was so bad it was funny. In the interview segments the people talking were being dround out by background noise.
No thanks!
Than she said that she kept flubbing her lines and cursing. My, my how unprofessional.
