Inauguration

As many of you know, today Barack Obama was sworn into the US Presidency. I have quite a bit of work to do, but I will give my general opinions on the matter fairly shortly.
1) I thought it was comical how he messed up on the oath**, but at the same time I am glad to see we elected someone who is able to make mistakes and still deliver a kick ass speech.
2) His speech was amazing. I thought it addressed the problems we are facing, Nationally and Worldwide, with solemnity, wisdom, and hope. He was sincere, confident, and simply an amazing public speaker.
3) I am glad to see someone who looks fairly reliable in office, but I can only hope Obama will live up to the expectations we have set for him.

(Did anyone else find it funny how he spoke about Christians, Muslims, Jews, etc. and non-believers? I just laughed a little there.)
(Also, the google spell check still says Barack Obama is misspelled (first and last name). When will this be fixed, I wonder?)

**I discovered that it was not Obama who faulted on his oath, but John Roberts, the Chief Justice said it incorrectly.

:D

Today was AMAZING! I got a massage, listened to some new music, and got a TON of work done! I am actually just wondering what bands you guys like? What genres of music? If you care to respond, in the comment section below write your name, the genre of music you like, and some artists/songs! What I like should be in my profile, so check it out! :)

The Age of Suckage

Rawr. Today has utterly sucked! I have been looking for a scanner, and I found one. Good, right? No. The cord wouldn't connect to my computer, so either I will have to somehow get a ride to a store to buy a cord for an obsolete scanner, or I will have to buy a new one anywho. Then, the camcorder cord I have been looking for finally turns up, allowing me to put half-decent videos on youtube. Sadly the video camera will now display nothing but black! This all reminded me of a while back, when my father said something that made little since to me. While we were riding in the car to school, I asked him how he was. He responded by informing me,
"Maggie, daughter, we have unwittingly been swept into the age of suck-age. Although the concept may be far out of your reach, in a few years you will understand what I mean. The age of suck-age is a time when, although something may go right, it will eventually turn for the worst no matter what. Every action, no matter how great, will bear a miserable consequence."

...I finally understand what he means.

Exams Are Over!!!

Woot! Exams are over! (Well, I do have to take a test on the train tomorrow, but its not an exam, so its ok... :\) Today is actually FULL of good things. My dog and get are getting to know each other in a very odd way, I got some good grades (some bad ones, too), and I am going to miss school tomorrow to go to the aquarium! I'll upload some pictures later! :)

Chem Exam!

So, I can't really write anything too fun today :( Big exam tomorrow and I need to do some massively effective cramming ;)

This is a fun picture I found which I really liked! :)

Hello, Kitty!

Has the gun got your attention? Well here is an explanation! ... sorta... I don't have an explanation for why they would make that...

When I was in the shower (so not TMI), I realized I want EVERYTHING to be cute for my apartment (... when I get one). And what better way to start than with these?!? Check out this site, and if your mind isn't about to explode of cuteness by the time you reached the end, you have slight problems.

Personally, I like the toaster more than the gun... I actually sortof want it...

Sewing, Snowdays, and More!!!

Actually, I have a lot more to talk about than sewing and snowdays :).

For anyone who didn't know, I received a sewing machine for Christmas! I don't really know how to sew that well, although I took several classes. For my first project, I decided to make a stuffed animal for a friend (I will upload a picture when I'm done.) Instead of using fabric from, say, a fabric store, I decided to buy a shirt and dissect it! (Yay! ... or so I thought before I learned how time consuming seam rippers are!!!). I am sortof excited to see how my first project might turn out, so wish me luck!
The only reason I have time to sew is because I think there is a snowday tomorrow. One thing I love about snowdays is how you never know they are coming until that morning, but, that can also be a big problem. See, I will procrastinate until the last moment with most things, so if I think I won't have school the next day, I most likely will not do the work. That means, if we DO have school, I am in major trouble... heh. Another thing I love about snowdays, though, is the snow itself. If any of you like snowflakes, I found this really cool site where you can make your own snowflake! It is pretty fun.
Ok, one more really quick thing: I got Jack back!

KY and Other Odd Things

I think it is like, 2 in the morning, and I cannot really sleep. I have school tomorrow, and of course I finished everything non-school related. As I was laying in bed, I got REALLY bored, but not enough to do something productive, hehe, so I ended up looking through the Walgreens inventory. Upon exploration, I stumbled along something called KY Yours And Mine, which is basically a dual lubricant which produces a strange reaction when the one for the guy and the one for the girl combine. I'm not sure if this is just me, but wouldn't it seem too odd to a "reaction" down there? All I could imagine was pop rocks, which did not seem pleasant. This may seem sortof odd to anyone who is reading this, but like I said, it is 2 o'clock in the morning, and I am tired.

Dog News & Another Funny Comic :)

So I managed yo budge my mom slightly with the dog when we went to visit him at the shelter, yay! I am trying to find a home on our street, but we still will pay his bills, train him, walk him, etc. We are even offering to let him stay here until he finishes his training! Yay!!! I went up to this person's home (whom we think might take him), but he was busy will company, so I ran away... yes... I ran :[ . Tomorrow I am going to go up again and home I have guts to ask him to take the dog, hehe.
In other news, I was catching up some more on Diesel Sweeties, and I found this, which I thought was funny. Maybe you need to read the comic and get into the characters a bit before you start to laugh at the jokes, so I suggest you check out some of the comics listed below and to the right!

I seriosly love these comics! The graphics are a bit odd, but once you get used to them, the jokes are amazing :)

Emo Thought of the Day!

Thought: Baking is cool because you can hide all your pain in the sugar.
Background: Whenever I am really sad, I make some sort of goodie. This can consist of cookies or pie or brownies, etc. Somehow, all my sadness goes away! I was trying to figure out why, and the only thing I could think of was that the pain is like an ingredient. And when I add it to the food, I take it away from me! Yay?

Poor Jack!

Hello. Yesterday night (at about 11), I posted a video on youtube talking about how my dog went missing. Well, it turns out the police brought him to the shelter (yay!). It also turns out he was picked up on our street... 10 minutes after he got out... because of a call...
Turns out, this neighbor who dislikes us (and whom we rather dislike) called the police on our dog, even though she know who it belongs to! Now my mother is talking about NOT going to get the dog because it is so much of a hassle! *sigh* I am a little upset about all of this, so if any of you have a suggestion for how to convince my mom to bring the dog home, or how to confront my neighbor, that would be great! Thank you!
