Adios Amigos

There are two reasons I titled this post "Adios Amigos".

Reason One being that it is the name the Ramone's Album that has the best cover art:

Reason Two being that today is my last day of school!!!!!!! AHHH!!! CRAZY!! GOLLY GEE!!! EXCITEMENT!!!!! 

I'm SO GLAD this semester is over. This semester was incredibly rough for me, so it finally drawing to a close is as sweet as sugar. I just have to go take my last three finals today then I am DONE WITH THAT CESSPOOL FOR TWO WHOLE MONTHS! The absolute best thing about this summer is that I get to spend time with some quality friends, and I can spend all day doing whatever the heck I want. Well, within reason, of course. I plan on reading A TON. The next book on my to-read list is "My Ántonia" by Willa Cather. I've had this book forever and I really want to read it! 

Going off on a tangent here, but Willa Cather is pretty much the only women from Nebraska who ever receives credit. While I think home girl definitely deserves it, there's another kick-ass babe from Nebraska named Mari Sandoz who I think more people should appreciate. (whether or not you educate yourself on her is your choice, so here's her wikipedia article)

Getting back on track: I'm practically bursting with excitement right now. I don't have to leave for school for another hour and a half but I can't fall back asleep because my brain keeps going "schoolsoveromgfuckyeahlaterbitches". And so forth. My leg can't stop shaking!

Last year in my post that announced the end of the school year, I made a goal. I figured I might as well do that this year, too. My goal is to write poetry at least once a week this summer. It doesn't have to be good, or anything I'd want to share, but I have to write it down on paper.

That's my goal, what's yours?

PS- My friend Josh has super good taste in fanfiction!! I don't care whether or not you read Homestuck, READ THIS ONE ANYWAY: http://archiveofourown.org/works/387254/chapters/634543
Seriously, it was so good I read all 30 chapters of it yesterday.

:) 

Viva El Verano, Suckazzz

Wow, first post of Summer 2012!!  Hold on tight, kiddos, we're going to be in for one bumpy ride these next three or so months. I feel that this .gif pretty much sums up my plans for the months ahead:

Guys this can be the logo for my blog this summer. We can make this happen. (Source: somewhere off tumblr that I can't remember... sorry!)

I hope that I can hone my skills as a blogger this summer. In order to try to speed up the process of pruning my blog, I have a few goals that I wish the achieve by the fall:

1. Post at least five times every week (shouldn't be too hard  >;])
2. Make a vlog with one of my friends (to all of you who comment: who's it gonna be?)
3. Continue on with 'Fun Tunes Tuesday'
4. Write at least one story-arc post per week (this would mean I would actually tell a story, not just blog about things happening in my life exactly at this moment).
5. Go to lots of cool events and blog about them. Maybe even with pictures!!!

So, what do you think? Are these reasonable expectations for myself? I want to hear what you have to say, so if you think there are any other things I should include here on my blog :)

Edit: In regard to number two... Last night my friend Josalyn called me up (gotta love that girl). She told me that she had very recently got a guitar, and that she was going to learn how to play it this summer! That already was enough to make me excited, but then she went on to say that once she gets better we can do a duet. I literally squealed for about five minutes after she suggested this. Guys, y'all better watch out because me and Jos are going to dominate this blog with our duets. I am certain they will be magical <3 

A Failed Adventure in Vlogging

Remember when I blogged briefly about those people my friends and I met on Omegle? Welp, I wrote a song on Saturday about all of the strange and exciting feelings that come along with actually meeting someone cool on the internet.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a good singer, and this is really off key and terrible, but Lizzie really wants me to upload it, so upload it I shall. Also, you guys finally get to hear what I sound like! (For those of you who don't know me in real life). I am curious if it meets your expectations!

Also, the video quality is crap, but I had to use my semi-broken camera for the job, because I don't know if the library is still loaning out cameras this late in the school year...

I just rewatched the video, and HOLY CRAP THERE IS A LOT OF GREEN IN MY ROOM. Green shirt on me, green wall behind me, green bedspread next to me. Just... geez. I need to get control of myself, and green isn't even my favorite color! :o

Note to the people I wrote this about: Is this creepy? I don't know, because quite frankly if someone I hardly knew wrote a song about me, I would be flattered. But then again, I am a questionable individual. 

Another thing! As I mentioned, I wrote this song rather than doing my homework, and guess what?! I recorded it instead of doing homework too! Gosh, you guys should be grateful I am such a dedicated b/vlogger. Yeesh. 

Lyrics:

-I made fun of the decor in your house because I didn't think you could hear my voice at all.

-Chatting with a web cam is something really new to me.

-Subtleties and inquiries about everything that's happening in my life.

-How is it possible I have so much in common with you?

(Chorus)

-I don't even know your names

-But now I just can't move on.

-You didn't try to show me your dick and that's a quality that sticks

-whenever I'm looking for a friend

He's Watching.

Today I was going to use this picture as my blog background, and have it on tile so a bunch of Lil' Cal puppet faces would be staring you down as you read.

Luckily, I'm not that mean. You're welcome. lolwhoops did I forget to tell you I am that mean? 

Don't worry, I have an actual blog post in the works that should be up sometime later today. 

Edit: I just realized that the last time I showered was Sunday. I'm already dressed for school... so it seems a shower won't be happening today. I don't know why I'm telling you all this. My best guess is that I'm trying to justify my grossness at this point. Eh.

100th Blog Post Extravaganza!!!

Whoa, guys. How the heck did this happen? Did I really just create my 100th blog post? I've been on my blog for nine whole months now. It seems sort of crazy to think about it like that, geez. I think that this blog post deserves special attention, don't you? That's why I'm going to flood it with links: links to my favorite posts I've written over the nine months. Do you have a favorite? :o)

• The origin of the swag snowman.
• That day I drew a bunch of crappy pictures but uploaded them anyway.
• My first Haiku Monday, that wasn't even a haiku because I didn't count my syllables carefully.
• The day I wanted to be all heroic about the muumuu.
• The time I posted a poem that wasn't completely terrible.
• When I wrote about Foods class and that boy. You know the one. 
• Where I took a picture of my corkboard.
• The day I finally finished Act 5 of Homestuck, and I wrote a song about it. 
• Where I find the draft of a post about pickles and their flavorful brines. 
• Where I am a sneaky trickster and I pretend like I am going to stop blogging. 
• The day we celebrated Josalyn's birthday at the Dark Carnival.

Whew, I think that's it. These should all be linked correctly, but if you have problems let me know and I can fix it. I also want to say thanks to all of you who follow my blog, because you guys are the reason I keep trying to say funny stuff :D


Edit: I totally forgot this is the post where all the anonymous commenters flooded in. Guys, that was such a stressful situation for me, you have no idea.
