multiplying like bunnies

First of all, this post IS APPROPRIATE. In case some of you with dirty minds thought it wouldn't be because of the title.

Today, among with the random assortment of other topics I will be discussing, I would like to talk about something that is very important to me especially right now.

Someone who is very close to me has been extremely hurt recently because of stereotyping. We all do it so don't deny it. Sometimes these things can hurt other people. So I think everyone should just keep their mean comments to themselves. Just like Thumper's father told him, "If you can't say something nice. Don't say nothen at all." (I used to love Bambi. . . in case you were wondering.) What bothered me about this particular situation was that this person hadn't even done anything to deserve judgment. If someone can't even form a sentence, then you may classify them as dumb. (Liked your post Bri.) Personally I see nothing wrong with that. But if someone only visually looks dumb, thats where I begin to get angry. Please. Don't do it. This person had also done something very nice and wasn't ever thanked. Yeesh people.

Last week on the way to school I experienced a tragedy. I hit a rabbit with my car. Sure, the rabbit ran out in front of me but I still feel responsible. Blair and Annie tried to cheer me up saying "Rabbits reproduce like crazy, theres probably already 100 more." and "Maybe it was a mean rabbit." But I still feel like I killed a Thumper.

So I got a 77 on my first Chem test. Which is good because only 5 people got above an 80. . . YIKES. This year will be interesting

I got my SAT study book in the mail today. All 900 pages. I know what I'll be doing on Saturday nights. Procrastinating studying for the SAT of course.

My boyfriend got a job. People keep saying, "That's good because he will have a lot of money." I think NO. Because he will be working instead of spending time with me. [I love you Ross. Good luck on your first day tomorrow!]

You're Is Not Possessive!

I know I said I would write about my superhero alter-ego this week, but I don't feel like it. I will do it eventually though.

So the theme month is over (Happy September!). I hope you all enjoyed it. I sure did. We might do it again various weeks in the future.

I'm sorry if my posts don't seem very organized. Lots of times I have all these thoughts going on in my head, and it's a cluttered mess. So I have trouble organizing them, and end up just writing whatever.

So...yeah. We have a three day weekend, and so far I've mostly spent it reading. Because of this, I'll be spending a couple of hours on homework today. But it is so worth it. I love the English language. Not that I dislike other languages, but when used correctly the English language can be so beautiful. So I've been reading. Absorbing as much of it as I can. Because very few people actually speak English well.

Which gets me to the awful grammar problem we have today. I know that people in other areas may not have had the same schooling that I did, but when kids at our school speak with just terrible grammar they have no excuse. I went to the same elementary school as a lot of these kids. I know they taught us how to use grammar correctly. It annoys me because they don't even try. They're defiling the language.

And people think Americans are dumb. I mean if my one example was one of those ridiculous rednecks at our school, who can barely form sentences, well I'd think Americans were dumb too. It disgusts me to be associated with them.

Yeah...it just annoys me. Well, see your post tomorrow, Lacey.

SUPER CAROLINE!!!!

Okay, so in keeping with this week's theme of superheroes, I am going to discuss my super alter-ego.

Her name is Lunette, which is not only the french word for glasses, but is probably somehow derived from the word Lune or Luna, which means moon. This is because she, like some superheroes, only comes out at night (when she is least likely to be spotted). She wears a black jumpsuit with tiny reflective stars embroidered on it to help her blend in with the night sky.

Her special powers include:
-being tiny (which enables her to crawl into tight places)
-relatively fast speed (I am actually a fast runner, for those of you who didn't know)
-a look of innocence (helps her get out of sticky situations)
-flying (every superhero has to be able to fly!)
-energy (I am very hyper)
-the ability to set off all metal detectors (hooray for titanium rods in your back!)
-super engineering skills (engineering is just awesome)
-Bible Power!!! (JESUS is a superhero)

Lunette traverses the night skies of Tallahassee in search of people needing help. She uses her amazing powers to apprehend bad guys and foil evil plans. And she does all this without getting caught.

I know this is short, but I must not say too much about my alter ego for fear that she may be targeted by enemies!!

So next time you need help, Lunette is on the way! (only if it pertains to her limited and specific powers)

-Caroline, a.k.a Lunette

A Different Kind of Super

Hello people of America and the few viewers not from America (yeah!!!!). For this week's super hero theme, I didn't really know what kind of super power I wanted... Other than super chemistry powers but that's lame and I can't write much about that unless you guys want me to rant on how the teacher doesn't teach. So I looked back into my childhood and found this:

Tragically, I didn't have the pleasure of super hero comics. I didn't get to know who Batman, Superman, the Hulk and all the other familiar supers until much later. Of course I knew who they were... I just didn't know how epic they were. Anyway, back then I was introduced to super powers in the form of video games. One of the games was Final Fantasy 7. I had it for the old school Playstation and man it was a blast. My friends and I would stay up until 3 in the morning playing this game. I loved all the sword combos and the guns that this game dished out, the story line was awesome, and it had a super boss that we came to love and hate: Sephiroth (one of the best super villains evur).

And then came Kingdom Hearts. I didn't own it, but me and my best friend would immediately play the game if I came over. It had a somewhat corny plot about searching for the light in your heart but the fights were amazing. What really uped the awesome for me was that there were Final Fantasy characters and even Disney characters that fought off the "heartless".


So if I were to get super powers, I would want matrix style sword fighting powers. But you know.... I'm over Kingdom Hearts/Final Fantasy. They are just things of the past. I don't play any games that are similar at all.


That's all I have today. Join us tomorrow for the incredible post from the blue power blogger. Oh and if you haven't noticed, we are nearing our 100th post!!!

Maybe too realistic.

I don't know, really. The most contact I've had with superhero-related things was last year because of my pre-algebra test about Superman. And of course, hearing Brianna burst into a frenzy of obsession, yes, intense obsession, any time she felt excited about them. Which was and is always.
The thing I try to do for my friends is to either help them, or make them feel better. In my family, I try to make sure my parents do not get mad at me.
Would I want a super power? I don't think there is anything in particular that has always fascinated me. I remember a certain someone wanting to stop time, romantically or not. That is if he could actually see things around him, or it would be a bummer.
I am a nerd. So I should want some to be kind of knowledgeable, right? In 5th grade, one of my friends really liked the Sailor Moon series, so she said I should like Sailor Mercury the most because she was "smart." This didn't really appeal to me because she didn't have long hair and it was um, blue, and I didn't really like Sailor Moon at all. I actually like the challenge of raping a difficult problem. Difficult to me, I guess. But by no means does this include physics, which is like kryptonite to Superman except it affects my GPA, which of course, must be worse than death.
I guess I just everyone who I care about to be happy. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case, because there is always someone who isn't doing so great. We can keep striving towards this goal. Maybe everyone will become satisfied when we are old and grown up. That would be pretty nice.
What I really need right now is the ability to drive. I think it would be so cool to be able to go places without waiting for a ride. It would be a super power to me.

This, I Promise You

When presented with the theme of "superpowers" this week I began to think. What are my strengths? My initial intentions were to write about some sort of cooking/biology/french superpowers but the more I thought about it, the more disappointed I became. I can do better than that! I thought to myself. There has to be something that I'm good at that could be of use as a strong positive influence on the citizens of some hopelessly crime rampant city no one has heard of! And suddenly, I remembered a promise I made to a friend this week. I made the promise to this friend, under duress at the time, that though I may be not that good at listening and offering advice on heavy heavy issues (I won't delve into why at this point, that's for another time, maybe), I will always push everything else aside and put a smile on your face if you ask for one.

I don't want to come off as conceited, especially when we're speaking of superpowers, but I feel it must be necessary to break a little off from my humble stance on this in order to tell you about a little knack I have. I make people smile. Granted, if you're in a decent mood or just a little pissed off, I probably can't help you- particularly because you don't need help. Get better yourself! =P

No, I help friends in need. Usually, someone will be severely depressed or down and ask me to talk to them or cheer them up. This is when my electrons begin to shift valence shells and my brain waves peak out- it's a challenge! I think to myself. So what I do next is assess the situation, find some sort of humor in it, and exploit the hell out of it. I will make you laugh, dangit! And if it's not a laugh, then at least an inward chuckle accompanied with a small grin. Heck, you might even think "Oh, he's good. He's good!", but I guess that's up to you to determine.


I like helping people, it's a legitimately good feeling you get. I never want to see one of my friends hurting, so I always try to bring some light to the situation. If I were a superhero, my power would be giving people hope in a time when they are down, providing them with a glimpse of their old (happier) self, and take the first step to getting over their lost cat, broken relationship, or poor grade.

So, this, my friends, I promise you. Come Hell or highwater, if you need help- ask for it. I can try my best at giving you advice, but I think that the most comforting thing you'll find is the one thing I can really give you: a hug and a smile. I love my friends.

Purple Is For Water

Hey guys, I'm really sorry but I completely forgot about my current lack of internet predicament. Right now I'm using the library computer, but I don't have that much time. Hopefully I will have enough time later when I can come back and share with you the great secrets of my water abilities. I'll set the time back so as not to destroy the credibility of this project.
