I LOVE RACHEL LODER!


Sorry. I couldn't contain my excitement for the love of my babychild.
Looking forward to the Cari/Sara/Tina graduation reception. Can't believe the time is drawing near.

Some things I think about while I avoid being productive. (STITAWIABP)

Wouldn't it be amazing to invent something totally unheard of? I can't think of an example right now obviously because I'm not an inventor or even nearly that creative, but really. Imagine coming up with the wheel if you had never heard of anything like that before. There was a time before cars! Cameras! Microphones! Radios! FOOD PROCESSORS! Imagine what kinds of revolutionary and innovative ideas will come around in the next 5 years, 10 years, 50 years of our lives. It's exciting. Imagine how cars will change, how music will change, how the houses we live in will change. A house built tomorrow will be old in 100 years.

I always hear older people complain about how things just aren't how they used to be. Kids aren't as polite as they used to be and everything we own comes from China. Will we be able to look back and say things aren't like they used to be? I remember when I had to drive to school instead of being teleported through the fourth dimension via hot pink holographic moped.

What are people? Why are we comfortable around certain people but completely afraid of others? What makes certain people more worthy in society than others? Why does Lil Wayne make more money than teachers? How can we put so much emphasis on creatures that are exactly that same as us? What would it be like if we didn't have countries or different languages or cultural differences?

Why are cuss words bad? Who decided that certain words are bad?

Why do people worry so much about being politically correct? Shouldn't we worry more about being honest and not beating around the bush?

What is friendship? What is anger? What is love? What is laughing? What is art?

WHY DO I HAVE TO DO HOMEWORK IF I DON'T WANT TO? I'm serious. I want to learn what I want to learn. Why do we learn about so much pointless stuff in school and waste our time watching movies when we could be learning useful things like what a tax deductible is. I had to ask my mom to explain it to me after I saw an H&R Block commercial. 18-year-olds should not have to ask about this stuff when they have gone to school five days a week for the past 13 years of their lives. The sad part is I still know more than some people.

Ughhhhhhh so much I want to know and only a lifetime to figure it out. I guess I'm naturally inquisitive.

Migh i's r tiyurd.

I think it's very inappropriate when I tell people I made a lot of money at work, and they tell me, "Don't spend it all in one place!" There is a time to be thrifty, yes. But there is a time to invest. For instance: I am obviously not going to spend $75 on a swimsuit at the Buckle when I don't even look that great in swimsuits anyway, especially when I can get one that is just as good at Target for a theoretical nickel. But my Dooney and Bourke bag in the three-digit figures has lasted me a lot longer than my Zac Efron bag from Wal-Mart.

SPEAKING OF WHICH—Who wants to join me in a commemorative burn of that bag on the last day of senior year? I'm thinking we need a campfire. BYOLF (Bring your own lighter fluid.) Let me know. Que pasaaaaa.

Rude Boy by Rihanna is dirty.

Everyone should come to the school play tonight, tomorrow, and/or Saturday at 7:30 pm in the year of our Lord twenty-ten.

Je veux voir votre pantalon sur le feu.

Ode to cranberry juice and plagiarism

CRANBERRY JUICE IS AWESOME! So I copied and pasted from Wikipedia, but I am going to tell you that I wrote this all myself. I wrote this all myself.

Cranberry juice
is the juice of the cranberry. Commercially, it is sold in either as a pure juice which is quite tart, or, more commonly, ascranberry juice cocktail, mixed with water and sugar or an artificial sweetener (such as aspartame or sucralose), or in blends with other juices, such as apple or grape. These may also be blended with other juices or flavors.

Cranberry juice is known to have various health benefits. These include:

Cranberry juice contains phytochemicals, which may help prevent cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Cranberry juice may help prevent and relieve the symptoms of urinary tract infections by primary and secondary means. The primary means works on the bacteria directly by altering the molecular structure of the fimbriae on the virulent strains of the bacteria that cause the infections. The secondary means works indirectly on the bacteria by changing the intravesical pH (the pH of the bladder's contents) making it more acidic.

Cranberry juice is high in oxalate, and has been suggested to increase the risk for developing kidney stones, although more recent studies have indicated it may lower the risk.

The Piano Man: Part III - Final Installment of the Saga

So today I was chilling at my glorious after-school job when the wonderful Marjie was telling me about her experiences yesterday evening at the Billy Joel concert. I had to chuckle for she knows I despise "The Piano Man." Then I got to thinking: Is there anyone else in the world who feels the same way as I? Google was calling my name.


I am not alone. I feel at peace knowing that someone else shares my plight. It's bittersweet.
