So, I decided that since I worked so hard on post #99, post #100 should be more laid back. Plus, I just watched (part of) the Disney Channel remake of one of my favorite movies ever, Harriet the Spy, and they totally changed the plot around and made it about blogging and stuff. They can't just leave the good stuff alone can they. Gotta go changing stuff all around. So anyway, I'm gonna go dig out my old VHS (gasp!) copy of the original Harriet the Spy (yes, with Michelle Tractenburg and Rosie O'Donnell) and try to find a VCR to play it in. *And yes, I am aware that calling it my "old VHS copy" was redundant, but I needed some emphasis.
Because I just realized how old that makes me. At least I don't know what an 8 track looks like. But I mean, for Pete's sake, I am only 19! When I was a kid, we didn't have fancy shmancy digital cable, and the coolest thing you could do on a computer was paint. No farmville (gasp!). lol, remember paint! The first time I used it was on my mom's "portable" mac she got for college and paint was in black and white (I swear to God, no lie, there really was no color!) And no, my mom did not have me when she was in college, she went back to get a more advanced nursing degree when I was like 6 or 7.
Finally, I was watching Sienfeld (sp?) and they were renting VHS videos and talking abotu how you had to rewind them when you finished watching them. That sounds so stone age now! lol DVD's are the bomb.

99th post - best blog quotes
99 is my favorite number, so I decided to do something special for this post.
Here are the best blog quotes... I sequential order (not ranked by what I think is best... but feel free to leave your vote as a comment!
1. As we were driving back down the dirt road, we saw a bear in the distance. Yeah, an actual bear. A baby one. We called it the mini-bear, and had lots of fun trying to take pictures of it (from the safety of the truck of course). Then Meredith wisely mumbled, "yeah, but now there's a bear here." Oh yeah. Party pooper.
2. Only a certain kind of person can sit in front of the television and watch overweight men maul each other over and over again
3. One girl almost fell off her unruly horse because he got to the gate and decided to 'refuse'. Poor girl. Then she whipped the horse. Poor horse.
4. they just keep falling off the cone like Niagara Falls as I walk out. I feel like little Hansel and Gretel leaving a rainbow sprinkle trail all the way to the bench.
5.I looked like a lobster for the first couple days, then I looked like I had leprosy when it started healing.
6. And thus our trip ended, our kayak zig-zagging into the sunset, only me paddling because my mom got tired. And me sans shoes.
7. Sounds like Pennsylvania needs some Indians.
8. we really did not want to get wet (except Haley, who was to the point of dropping her pants and swimming to shore when Meg got back).
9. What more needs to be said about cute lifeguards? Definately the highlight of my trip. Except when I almost fell over in front of one of the cute, shirtless ones.
10. Plus I got to tell my bear story, and let's face it, I love to tell stories.
11. Anyway, I think the paint job should be categorized as a fail... but hey, it shows character.
12. So other than burning my face off it was freakin amazing.
13. I do not appreciate music. At all. No, I cannot identify that instrument by it's "plucky sound and strange tone." Wth is a harpsichord? Why should I care!?!?!
14. I almost peed my pants... except for the fact that I was sitting on the toilet. :)
15. My day started wth remarkable lack of motivation - and a sing along.
16. I would like to make a formal apology to sprinkles... It ends up it was the tension between you and the cone that was affecting your work.
17. I think there is a ghost in the bathroom by my room. I'm not talking Moaning Myrtle or anything, this ghost is very well mannered. And well manicured - it always, no matter what time of day or how many people are in the bathroom, sounds like someone is clipping their toenails.
18.lol, I don't think pirates say suppose. (this interview may be my fav entry... it's so damn funny)
19. From the Farmville quotes entry:
"Did you get my cow? I sent you a cow."
I named her prudence... She likes it"
20. First semester was like the creepy old lady in hansel and gretel... come on in, doesn't my house look all nice and candy flavored? Then you find out the old lady (second semester) wants to eat you. Damn.
What has this little project made me realize?
1. last summmer was fun.
2. My writing really has improved.
3. My grammar gets worse when I blog angrily.

I'm a lazy bum.
I will freely admit it - I am a lazy bum who sits on her butt all day, which provides for a boring blog. Today though... today I got off my butt and went hiking and played Frisbee and went to my brother's "pinewood derby" (which, just for the record, is a horrendous name and needs to be changed immediately. Get on that BSA.
So I guess I cant really blog about frisbee... even though it is currently my favoritest thing in the whole wide world... but there's really not much to say... though I realized I an freaking out of shape lol. sad.
Hiking was also a freaking workout... we went on that one "upland" or "overlook" trail or whatever they call it at Onanda, and damn, that entire thing is one calf buring hill after another. Pretty waterfalls though.
Lastly, my brother built his little derby car and the scouts turned it into this sleepover party thingy at Onanda, so luckily he can have some fun after the races, considering the poor kid came in 4th every time he raced. Out of four. Poor kid :(... I thought he was gonna cry but he held it together well, and came over and leaned on me while lamenting his loses (because my mom woulda told him to suck it up and be a good sport. lol

ramblings (again)
1. I'm glad I grew up with some religion, because I met a woman the other day who had no idea Easter was a religious holiday until she was an adult. To me that is an abomination.
2. GO SYRACUSE!! I love march madness... though my bracket is busted majorly. Damn upsets. Btw, I hope syracuse goes all the way, but I admit I have Kansas winning my bracket. I gotta beat my dad :)
3. Maybe I don't hate this English class so much... well, yes I do, but I found a research topic I am majorly into for my research paper and and actually enjoying finding 12 sources (I'm gonna be the nerdy one with 25) and writing a 10-12 page paper. Oh, my subject is Sensory Processing Disorder. I'm pumped.
4. LOVE the warm weather.
5. Would appreciate suggestions as to what I should do for my 100th blog post. It's a milestone... I can't just let it pass....

I love NY
Gotta love NY. Less than two weeks ago I got a snow day and a half, and today it was absolutely b-e-a-utiful (Bruce Almighty in case you don't recognize it) and positively spring-y. I think New York is bipolar.
Anyway, a couple of brief ramblings to hold you over until I have a blog-worthy epiphany. :)
1. Being blind is scary. That's what I learned in my OT class last week. We've been wearing blindfolds for the past two classes. Also, it takes some major trust.
2. In light of the fact that I have been bombarded by opinions on the "ban the r-word" campaign that our campus is having, I would just like to voice my stance on the issue. We should all be nice, because it is the right thing to do. We should not be legislated into being nice. It's as simple as that. Don't take away our free speach, just lead by example and treat people with respect.

English class
Since I hate my current English class, I decided to relive past ones.
Best books I was forced to read:
1. Fahrenheit 451
2. 1984
3. To Kill a Mockingbird
4. Maniac Magee
5. Can't think of a 5th good one lol
Worst books:
1. The Scarlet Letter
2. As I Lay Dying
3. Grapes of Wrath
4. Great Expectations
5. All those dumb community reads. (every community read I was forced to read was awful. You know what I mean. Sounds like I missed out on good community reads... the year before I got to High School they read The Kite Runner as their community read, and this year, once I have left, they are reading Bel Canto.)

Watch this video
One of the coolest things I have ever seen.
view it. click it. seriously, it's awesome.
And btw, deff switch to the new blogger editing thingy, it is cooler and way easier to use.
Oh, and happy first day of March! Someone said to me today, "It came in like a lion so it will go out like a lamb." I don't understand these idiomatic weather predictions - is it just me, or does that not make any sense!?
