Marky Mark

Have you heard of Marky Mark? Well, technically it's Mark Wahlberg, but I like Marky Mark better. He's pretty much a big deal. Member of New Kids on the Block, Calvin Klein model, leader of Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, and actor. Yeah, he's smokin.

I fell in love with him in The Italian Job, and then again in The Lovely Bones. And, well, look at him. Can you blame me?







I imagine that if I were ever to encounter an angel, he would look an awful lot like Marky Mark.

Things that get under my skin. . .

-not enough sleep

-dried out grody skin

-ap calc homework

-being bad at things

-blanking at an inconvenient moment.

-not being in control

-being told to do something

-but mostly not enough sleep

and yeah. . . I'm not in the best mood. . . .

This is me.



Last night, my sister Amy came to my play. Afterwards, she met Jake. She then proceeded to tell me that she had viewed our dance pictures and told us that we were the nerdiest kids she'd ever seen. Like, way nerdy. The nerdiest nerds she'd ever seen. She definitely stressed the nerdiness.

She mixed up me and Melissa.
Melissa and Dan went as nerds. Me and Jake went as 50s teens.
Needless to say, it was awkward all around.

This got me thinking. . . what is a nerd?

WELL. Let me tell you.
NERD: a stupid, irritating, ineffectual, or unattractive person.

Gee, thanks Amy.

You can imagine my righteous indignation upon being told (repeatedly might I add) that me and my date were the nerdiest nerds to ever nerd. But then I came across this picture.

Um, yes. I am a nerd. But somehow Jake puts up with me anyway :)

BTW: a synonym for nerd is DOOBNER, yet this is a term of endearment. So, let's try to dispel this awkward view of nerds the world seems to have, one Doobner at a time.

Dear Sophomores. . .

If you happen to find a random love note taped onto your dressing room mirror and it is filled with wording such as "our love is a love that is more than love" and "your sparkling eyes, your melodious laughter, your tantalizingly soft skin", DO NOT TAKE SAID NOTE SERIOUSLY. Especially if it is signed by a simply platonic friend and in the handwriting of another simply platonic friend known for her delightful sense of humor. DO NOT START FREAKING OUT BECAUSE YOU THINK ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS IS IN LOVE WITH YOU. Seriously. Did you really think that she would tear off a corner of the paper as "evidence of the romantic turmoil" her hidden love has caused her? Really? Didn't think so. Don't worry: she is not in love with you.

Sincerely,
Two Witty Juniors

Tiphany Sue

I have a friend.

Her name is Tiffany.

I call her Tiphy.

So essentially this is how it goes down: Tiph is my best friend and I would do absolutely ANYTHING for her because I know she would definitely do anything for me. Whenever I'm with her, I am always laughing harder than should be humanly possible. She puts up with all my tom foolery (well most of it). She makes me laugh, she's there when I cry, and she tells me when I need to suck it up! What more could you ask for? I recently have just realized how important she is to me. She's basically my other half. Now if she could only warm up to Jake. . . . haha. But for reals. I love her so stinkin' much!







(p.s. I maybe stole this "ShoutOut" idea from Jess Dixon. . .hope you don't mind Jess!)

When Darkness Falls

Okay, so it's been FOREVER I know, but I shall finally get around to blogging about last Friday, aka MY VERY FIRST DATE! It was fo sho completely awesome. Totally off the hook. Yo.
I went to the Halloween Dance at BHS (When Darkness Falls -insert creepy music- OOO EEEE OOOH!). It was a total blast. I went with Jake Simpson (he's the studly guy standing next to me in the photos. . . ) And yes, he is a sophomore. Let's just get that over with. But he was a total gentleman and was a way fun date! We went with Chandler and Spencer and Nicole and Mco, and we all dressed in 50s attire, which was way fun. We went to Chan's house for dinner, then to the dance, and finally ended the night at TIffany's for a scary movie [We watched The Legend of Sleepy Hollow on ClearPlay, so it was forty minutes long and made no sense at all. Fun, right?] But it was definitely a stellar night!




In other news, I went and saw "Noises Off" with the BHS Drama Dept. Um, to sum it all up, it was HILARIOUS. I literally almost peed my pants I was laughing so hard. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and would definitely recommend the show to anyone who is considering attending. Um, yeah. It will rock your socks. I went with the beautiful TJ Smith and we had a total blast.

Today I felt like I should blog, but now I cannot think of ONE SINGLE THING to blog about. So, I thought I'd share some inspirational poetry with you. Are you ready? Here we go kids.

ROSES ARE RED
Roses are red
Violets are blue
At times when I'm blind
I can only see you.

LIMERICK
There once was a kid named Ben
Who accidentally dropped his pen.
He looked and he searched
While on a tree branch he perched.
Which is why he's the Little Red Hen.

AND NOW A SLEW OF ANTI-CILANTRO HAIKUS
I hate you green leaf
You ruined my yummy salsa
For that, you must die.

Creepy little weed,
Stay out of my food for life
Or I will hurt you

No more cilantro
I said NO MORE CILANTRO
No more, please, no more.

Cilantro is wrath
Waiting to destroy your day
Eat at own risk sir.

Confused? Me too. I wish I could take credit for all this creative genius, but alas, they are all products of the internet. You may be wondering why I posted all about weird poetry. Well, here's the real question: Why did you just waste four minutes of your life reading it??
