Sunburn

Ew.

Double ew.
 Sunburn is both gross ans painful. It can range from a light pink to a dark red, from no pain to hospitalized. Then it could turn into a nice brown tan, or it could peel to revel raw skin and leave patches of pink on an otherwise tan body. God forbid you sweat with a sun burn, because then it bubbles and really peels when you pop them. And you have to pop the nasty sweat bubbles, or else it will itch.

What if it's really bad sunburn? Then your stuck with sun poisoning.

So how do we heal the sun burn? You can't use antibiotic cream oh no, you have to use a gel-like plant extract. Thick, sticky, generally green, and all over for days. sounds like fun.

And the sad part is, I say all of this from experiance. Recent experiance.

Take a look-see and you will be amazed. Granted, some of these are widely known, like the egg slicer, or the pot colander, but some are really cool! Like porcupine cheese grater? Isn't that neat!? Maybe it's just me...

Rise Against

Ugh, APUSH, you will be the death of me.

Anywho, heard about this band, Rise Againt today and checked it out. I thought it would be some horrible electronic Indie band but it wasn't. I listened to their song Make It Stop (September's Children) and it was pretty good! I've put the video below so you can all see it. It is supposed to give hope to the LGBT community that "it gets better".



So whaddya think? Not too shabby huh? Lemme know in the comments what your views are.

Folger's Commercial

Is this not the SWEETEST folger's commercial ever?!



Though I kinda get the feeling that a little something is brewing between the "brother" and "sister", and it's not the coffee, hmm? They are a little too nice to each other, no? But holy cow, is that girl not the cutest ever? "You're my present." These writers are getting better I tell you. And that guy, WOW. A humanitarian and he still doesn't forget to get his sister a gift. How sweet?

UPDATE on my life: Summer

Soo, It is almost August. My summer has been pretty boring when I'm not off somewhere out of town. The day I got out of school my sister, brother, dad, and I all got in the car for the long car ride to go visit my relatives. We stayed there for the weekend, visiting my grandparents on both sides of the family, and my great grandmother. My sister asked her a lot of questions about her younger days, like if she participated in marathon dances (which I had thought at the time were people running  a marathon in a dancing fashion. I later found out the next week that marathon dances were people dancing for a very long time as a competition.)
Best Game ever made

When we left my grandparent's, My dad drove to my aunt's house where I stayed for the next week in order to attend my cousin's graduation party. As I am the only one in my family who doesn't have a job, I was the only one who stayed the week. It was fun hanging out with my FIVE cousin's, but I can see where it gets overwhelming. During this week, I realized that young boys cannot paint walls, but can sure make a mess. I also (re)learned how funny accent's are, and that I should buy Ghost Recon (there are four boys, and they have a lot of video games). I also expressed with them that despite their extensive collection of video games, they lack a single Legend of Zelda game. I also learned during this week that Kidz Kuts (a hair cutting place that specializes in children) is a really cool place for young children to get their hair cut. They can play a video game or watch a movie while getting their hair cut so they won't be as antsy. Very smart idea.

So to end that week, my Aunt drove me to a mid-way point so my mom would pick me up there and take me back home. We also dropped one of my cousin's off at his summer camp. My Aunt sends all her children to a month long summer camp every summer, and all I can say is PROPS TO YOU! She deserves a break :)
So Then I get home and have two weeks of chill time, where I truly chill. I do basically nothing (don't hate! It's my summer!) The next week my family and I go south on vacation. We stayed in a very nice wooded cabin high in the mountains. Due to the fact that we went south, it got very hot. and even more humid. Disgustingly humid. I cringe thinking about it. But it was fun none the less. My mom cooked everyday, and we had a full breakfast every morning. We went to a couple of attractions, including an interesting and competitive game of mini golf set in the mountains. Then we went home and that's where I am now.
I bought more string due to the fact that I finished knitting my first scarf (mostly purple, with a few blue and silvery-yellow stripes). This new scarf was suppose to be rainbow but it turned out to have odd looking stripes. Not bad, just odd? Yuppers, that's it. Now let's do some shoutouts!

1st shout-out goes to Jessica, for dealing with my family and me during vacation.

2nd shout out to my lovely parents, for taking me on vacation!

3rd shout out for Carrie-kins, because she dealt with me putting off our HP party. I'm seeing HP7 pt. 2 next week, so don't tell me any spoilers (even though I've red the book)

4th shout-out goes to C, HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY!

Funy Game!

So i found this fun game called "Vampire Physics". No, it does not actually involve any math or science, so cool your jets. In the game you are trying to turn all the humans into vampires, whilst avoiding garlic, werewolves, rival vampires, and priests, all of which can kill you. You do this by clicking on wood (which will always break) to drop, push, or in any other way move the characters around to accomplish your goal of making a vampire army! Try it out

Play with Kittehs!

So, whilst in the middles of my online escapades, I can across a wonderful site where you can play with cats in an animal shelter using robot toys. By simply pushing a button, a toy will move around in some way, and (hopefully) the cats will play with. You can watch, in real time, the animal shelter room, and chat with other people who are also on the site too, if you choose. Check it out, it's pretty neat.

Operation Beautiful

Whilst watching an episode of "The Doctors" where some Hollywood doctors talk about health and junk, i heard them talk about a woman who started a project called "Operation Beautiful". In this project, you are supposed to write some positive message on a post-it note and put it in some random place. The goal is to end the toxic negative self-talk. Like this:

hydrant  or this

CIMG3270

Pretty neat huh? I think it would be fun! just leave them in school textbooks or the bathroom windows, stuff like that. What do ya think? Wanna join me? Check the website where you can find other peoples post-its:

Product Reviews!

  • Mio Water flavorings two stars
I was pretty disappointed in this one. I don't know why, but I just thought this would taste good. Some would argue with me, but i don't think that this tastes that good. I have tried the mango peach and the berry pomegranite. The mango peach, in my opinion was better than the berry pomegranite, but both were not very good. They tasted ok at first, but the after-taste was pretty bad. it was the after-taste you get when drinking, get this, flavored water. that weird chemically bitter aftertaste that stays in the back of your throat? Thats what this tastes like. Just a warning...
  • V8 V-fusion   four stars
V8 was a lot better than I expected. Despite the advertising, i really thouht that this would taste like vegetables. But instead, itpretty much tastes like fruit juice. There is a slight undertone taste of something else (my guess it that it's the vegetables in the juice), but it doesn't taste like a carrot or anything. V8 V-fusion also comes in many different flavors, like the concord grape raspberry i'm drinking now :)

  • Bath & Body Works Body Lotion Bali Mango five stars

First of all, I'm probably bias to Bath & Body works because I have had a long history of loving their stuff (doe that make bias?) Anyway, this scent is very nice! The scent is prevelent, but not overpowering. But it isn't too soft either, a very happy medium amout of delicious fruity scent. mmmmm.


  • Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstain in Cherry Pop four stars

I had high hopes for this, but the biggest down fall is probably my fault. I thought cherry pop would be a light reddish color, but no, its darker. Which shocked me, so when I tried to wipe of some of it to make the color lighter, it was pretty hard! Which would have been a good thing if I had liked the color. I eventually rubbed some of it off so it looked better. But the color stayed on even after going swimming for an hour and eating dinner (mmmm tacos). So yeah, it stays! just get a lighter color unless you want to look like you just ate a cherry snow cone. Also, the application was weird, it was like drawing with marker on my lips. It would spread like gloss will if you mush your lips together, so it was kind of awkward. Oh well.

Prezi

Have any of your teachers assigned you to make a Prezi yet? Cuz I have. I have been assigned to do a prezi FOUR TIMES. I just learned what a prezi was about... three weeks ago. since then, each teacher has been like "Have you ever heard of a Prezi?" I was shocked at first, because usually i know about new technology before the teachers do, but I had never heard of this. I also thought it was a one time deal at first. Just one teacher know about this program, i'll never do one again. But nooooo.
Next my health teacher was like "Hey, new project guys! We're gonna do Prezi's!" huh? Another Prezi? Then my Chem teacher was like "For this project you can do a PowerPoint, a video, a Prezi, etc." What? She knows about Prezi too? Its like we found a new type of wheel that everyone must try. It's like silly bands, or Ugg shoes; Everyone know about it!
I kind of hope Prezi's are a fad. I'm not sure that i'm ready for a total overthrow of the PowerPoint. I was just beginning to master the custom animation, and now i have to learn a new system. Although i must admit, Prezi's are much, much easier to use than PowerPoint, the user-friendly interface comes with limited presentation options.
