Sorry =(

I'm not blogging tonight... or for a while, most likely. Tonight I am not blogging simply because I ran out of time. But, I have been lacking motivation for a while. Blogging has felt more like a chore, and it shouldn't. It used to be fun, but now all I really look forward to are the comments. I need to take some time off for a little while and refresh my creativity because honestly, I've been writing crap lately. I don't want to do that... I want it to be interesting in a good way. So, I shall be taking a little blogging vacation for a while. I shall be back eventually, and with some better stuff, but for now, a short goodbye.

I'm sorry. =(

Be back soon!

Am I Masculine? Hmm...

Quizzes are stupid. Seriously. I mean, have you ever been on Facebook or something and they have advertise a personality quiz, and you take it? Probably not, seeing as the only people who read this are fairly intelligent and aren't bothered by that crap. Or, I wouldn't assume so, anyway (*Wondering*). They are really, really stupid, and honestly, I don't understand why people ever do them. Mind you, I am a total hypocrite for saying this because I tend to do them from time to time. They never tell you anything, but for some strange reason, I have a slight addiction to them. I don't get why though! Here is some advice for you: Do NOT sit on the computer all day doing quizzes! It will rot your brain! Seriously. You can feel your brain melting. Lucky for me, it has never gotten so bad that my brain came pouring out my ears, but I have paper towels on hand just in case. And earplugs... *Wink wink* =)

Another thing about the quizzes is that they never have good choices. My choice is always somewhere between one or the other. My answer is NEVER on the list of choices. I shall show you. Let's take a quiz, shall we? I'm going to take the "Are you more feminine or masculine?" from http://www.funquizcards.com/ . Just watch.

Question 1) Your computer conks off. What do you do?: a) Call the computer support guys. b) Try to fix the problem yourself.

My answer is neither because it is in between both! When I have a computer problem I call my computer support guy - my best friend, who is a super genius when it comes to computer stuff (and everything really!). He gives me advice on what to do, and I do it. Do you see my dilemma? I have to choose one answer or the other. *Clicking choice "a"*

Question 2) You love: a) Romantic movies. b) Action movies.

My answer is once again neither. Just by themselves, I dislike both. Romances have to have comedy in them... I love romantic comedies. But just by themselves? Bleh. And action films... don't even get me started. Have you ever seen a Jackie Chan film? WAY lame. They stuff he does isn't even real! And when you've finished, you feel like your eyes have been raped... I mean seriously. Two and a half hours (cos action films are never short) of watching some guy beat the crap of another guy to save a girl who he doesn't even care about and rescue a diamond that he's just going to sell on the black market.... kill me. *Clicking choice "a," cos it's closest*

Question 3) With a group of friends, you love to: a) Sit and chat. b) Play games.

First of all, I don't have "groups of friends." They are a mixture of my sisters friends, my acquaintances, and my frienemies (this word here meaning people who I pretend to like all the while secretly despising them). Secondly, when I am around them, we tend tend to do both. Same with being with my best friend... although, when I am with him, I'd rather talk. I'm a gabbermouth. =) *Clicking "a"*

Question 4) You use swear words: a) Rarely. b) Daily.

Okay, I lied. Every once and a while there is a choice that I can choose easily that fits. I am a euphemism person... "crap" and "freaking" being on my "I use every day" list. *Clicking "a"*

Question 5) Do you cry easily? a) Yes. b) No.

Seriously? They totally need to go more in-depth than just that. Define "easy." And why, for that matter too. Emotional pain, or physical pain? And it depends where you are too. Like, for me, if I am in public, I never cry. I have this whole "I'm strong" facade going on. But if I am all by myself (ALL by myself), it doesn't really matter to me. Oh, oh, and does "cry easy" mean "on demand," or "because you are in pain"? Because I can cry easy on demand (TOTALLY works well for when you want something. not that I ever resort to that, but I'm just saying. (Okay, so I sometimes resort to that. But not a lot. (I am so erasing this... Murphy's law says my mom reads this.))). *Lost between what to click* I guess I'm going to go with "b."

Question 6) On TV, you would rather watch: a) Soap operas and talk shows. b) Sports channels.

EEW!! None of the above! Soap operas are over-dramatic and lame and sports channels are just plain boring! Talk shows are so bad, I guess. I don't watch them, but I'd rather watch a talk show than a soap opera or the sports channel. *Clicking "a"*

Question 7) A great Saturday night date for you would be: a) A candle-light dinner followed by slow dancing. b) A wild time at the discotheque.

Out of the two of them, the candle-light dinner, I suppose. I prefer to see my food, though. Just saying. *Clicking "a"* (Thinking about it, I'm really not sure! They both sound fun and awful at the same time.)

Question 8) You would be interesting in which of the following activities?: a) Learning to salsa dance. b) Learning marital arts.

DUDE! Martial arts!! Although I am totally interested in dancing, salsa dances really don't suit my fancy. *Clicking "b"*

Question 9) In a sports car, you first check out: a) the looks and interior. b) the top speed and engine.

Um, actually, fuel efficiency would be the first thing I would look at. There's no way I am going to buy a car that looks good but only gets 8 miles to the gallon. Yeah right. The second thing I would look at though would be the looks and interior, because who honestly cares about the speed? It's not like you're going to be doing 200mph out on the roads. And if you are, I'm not so sure that it's a good idea for you to be buying a car in the first place. *Clicking "a"*

Question 10) Do you mind if your room is dirty with all your stuff lying around? a) Yes. b) No.

I seriously do not see how this is a question of masculinity or not. I have seen MANY females rooms, and they are not, clean, okay? Secondly, I have two answers to that. Yes, it bothers me, but only to a degree. I don't care if my dirty clothes are on the floor, but if a book on the shelf is not put away properly or is leaning to the side too much, I go nuts. it has to be "just right." *Thinking* Actually, I DO care of my clothes are on the floor. I care a LOT....... I just don't do anything about it. (It's only my room that I am this way about... everything other room needs to be clean. Just so you know.) *Clicking "a" cos it's closest*

Question 11) Which novels do you enjoy more? a) Romantic fiction. b) Crime fiction.

Ew, seriously? Have you ever read a romance novel? I have no idea how people can read that. I am DEFINITELY clicking "b." (I guess this is another one that fits perfectly.)

The result? You are more feminine than masculine. Well DUH Sherlock... maybe that's because I AM female. the question is, why did I need to take a quiz to discover this? Obviously I know that I am more feminine than masculine... and yet I took the quiz anyway. The one with ridiculous answers. Why do I even do these things?

Life according to me?: quizzes are stupid. And addicting. So, when you're doing one, do it in private so you don't get caught doing something so completely ridiculous as that.

The Pillsbury Doughboy is DEAD?!?!

I know, it was a shock to me too. I always joke about the Pillsbury Doughboy dying of a yeast infection... I'm never going to joke about things like that again. Look what I just found - isn't it AWFUL?

Veteran Pillsbury spokesman Pop N. Fresh died yesterday of a severe yeast infection. He was 71. Known to friends as Brown-n-Serve, Fresh was an avid gardener and tennis player. Fresh was buried in one of the largest funeral ceremonies in recent years. Dozens of celebrities turned out including Mrs. Butterworth, the California Raisins, Hungry Jack, Aunt Jemima, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Skippy. The graveside was piled high with flours as longtime friend Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy, describing Fresh as a man who "never knew how much he was kneaded." Fresh rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with many turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes -- conned by those who buttered him up. Still, even as a crusty old man, he was a roll model for millions. Fresh is survived by his second wife. They have two children and another bun in the oven. The funeral was held at 350 for about 20 minutes.

TERRIBLE!! To think that all my joking has caused this! I mean, no one expects this type of thing, do they? Everyone just thinks one little joke won't hurt anything, and then it turns out that... that... *Sob* you KILL someone! I KILLED the Pillsbury Doughboy! I am such a bad person! I mean... *Sniffle* I don't know. This is so unexpected, you know? Especially this way. Joking aside, I always thought that he would have been tickled to death, the way people kept on poking his belly and all that. *Pause* CAN you die of being tickled? This... this can be really bad. Like, really, really bad, Because there's this Phantom Toe Tickler out there, and from time to time he comes and tickles me, and.... Oh my goodness! The Phantom Belly Tickler as well! This is VERY bad! What am I to do?

I am sorry for the immediate ending of this blog, I know I haven't said much, but I have to go make emergency plans. this could end in tears if something isn't done about it!

For now - Annagram

P.S. Take notice that the Jolly Green Giant didn't show up to the funeral. How DARE he not show up! He can't be jolly forever, you know. Why though... why? A respected and important figure in society dies, and he doesn't even show up to the funeral? *Shaking head* I have lost total respect for him now........

How To Save America From Terrorist Attacks

The most annoying thing about watching the news is seeing all these terrorist threats and people going on and on about how "Why is this happening to us?" and all that yadda yadda yadda. It's kind of obvious, isn't it. No? Let's look closer. If you look at a timeline, you will see that before the mid '70s, there really weren't that many terrorist attacks. There had been a few, but that's when things really started to pick up speed. Now, let us think... what happened in the '70s that was so crucial? What did we do wrong? It really IS obvious. The reason why we were attacked was because they couldn't take it anymore. Couldn't take what, you ask? Television. American television. Mainly children's shows. Why the '70s? Because it was the beginning of Sesame Street and the Electric Company. That was what started it all. After that, children's television shows went downhill, and fast. And while they were going downhill, the terrorist attack rate was going up. Sounds silly, doesn't it? Let's look at a timeline:

1975: FALN sets off bomb in New York City, killing 4 and injuring over 50 people. Sesame Street has been around for 6 years, the Electric Company has been around for 4. Gunsmoke is taken off the air.

1979: 66 hostages are taken at the U.S. Embassy in Iran. Around the same time a poll was released that 44% of Americans were unhappy with what they were seeing on television. (SEE? Already it began!)

1983: 2 bombings in Beirut, 1 in Kuwait. M*A*S*H airs its last episode. Disney starts its own channel (watch how it goes majorly downhill from here).

1985: Rome and Vienna airports are bombed, a Spanish restaurant is bombed, an airplane is hijacked. The Wuzzles make their debut on television.

Do you see what I'm getting at? That's just the early stuff! Let's fast forward some.

2001: The 9/11 bombings/crashes in NYC, Arlington, and Shanksville, PA. The Wiggles goes on air, along with The Legend of Tarzan and The Proud Family. Dora the Explorer has been on TV for a whole year, and Barney & Friends has been on air for 9.

2002: Al-Qaeda bombs Karachi. Lizzie McGuire goes on television.

Shall we keep going? Fast forwarding...

2008: 2 suicide bombings in Iraq; the Taliban attacks a US base and kills 9 US soldiers and 15 NATO troops; car bombs go off in Afghanistan, killing several US soldiers; Mumbai is attacked, killing hundreds....... one of the worst years ever. Hannah Montana had been on TV for two years, and The Suite Life On Deck aired.

DO YOU SEE? They call it political, but it's not really, now is it? BEFORE all these ridiculous television shows did they attack? No. No, they did not. America was safe back in the day of Captain Kangaroo and Andy Griffith. Were the terrorists offended by Batman? No... he was harmless! Are they offended by Hannah Montana? You bet your butt they are.

Now, I am not here to make a mockery of any of the terrorist attacks or anything, please do not misread me. It's not something to joke about, and I realize that. I am merely saying... if you want to know the most obvious reason that this is happening to us, there it is. And the sad thing is that no one ever realizes it. Then again, no one ever notices the most obvious. So, Life According To Me is this: If we want to save America (and the world, really!), we need to ditch the stupid children's programs and put on something wholesome again. Something that the whole world approves of. This, I think will be an improvement to global society.
