Choklit Blog #3: Why do seniors have to do so much to get in the yearbook?

i'm trying to figure out why (in my homeschooling group) seniors have to do so much to be in the yearbook when everyone else just goes and gets one picture taken and that's it. i mean, we have to go take formal and casual pictures (which you already read all about last week), we have to write a composition about... something... to put on our page, and we have to have a baby picture to put on the baby pictures page. good thing i was a cute baby. well as you can probably tell by reading my blogs (or anything else i may have written), you probably know i'm not the best writer in the world. and my mom actually said the other day that i can't even write my composition about trevor! now i have no clue what to write on my yearbook page!!!!! grrrrr!!!!!!! and even if we get a better formal picture taken somewhere, we have to use one certain one in the yearbook or we can't get in there. then they have group pictures that are optional. you have to buy a $12 shirt (with me, and my 2 brothers, that would be like... $36), then go downtown at 10 AM on a monday (when i'll be at college, as will my brothers) and take like a million pictures. AAAAAND... the place where they're taking the pictures looks a lot like the place where they took them last year and the shirts are the same color with the same color writing as the ones last year. but it doesn't matter all that much to me cuz i'm not gonna be in it anyway. so if that's the way they wanna do it, that's fine with me, but i'll be listening to Thousand Foot Krutch. oh no wait, i'll be at college! so today i looked up Anberlin on playlist.com and they're awesome. Thousand Foot Krutch is still better though, cuz they're the best band ever and Trevor McNevan is their lead singer.

besides that... well nothing has really happened lately, as usual. i'm watching this show called "The Baby Borrowers" where five 18-year-old couples basically... borrow people's kids for 3 days. first babies, then toddlers, preteens, teenagers, and... old people. they have the teenagers right now and all the couples are breaking up. one guy just left his girlfriend there with the 15-year-old they just got. now the kids are vandalizing the neighborhood. but there's one girl on there who should be the parent instead of the kid. and some of the couples breaking up have kids who's parents just got divorced.

OTHER RANDOM THINGS THAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK: i saw some REALLY funny youtube videos / someone on a message board said "Fatty's the man" [heart] / i ordered a new NOTW shirt /

Choklit Blog #2: I figured out how to put on a drape!

Hey people! It's me again... yeah, like someone else would be writing my blog. I'm sitting here on the couch with my dinosaur (that would be my computer by the way) watching The Baby Borrowers and trying desperately to remember my week. But then I realized that nothing really exciting happened this week. And why did nothing exciting happen this week? For one reason and one reason only: I didn't get to race go-carts with Joy. I wanted to on Friday, then I wanted to on Saturday, but I had to do chores instead. And who wants to read a blog about chores? But my brothers came home this week, which I guess some people could consider exciting. And... um... I went to Ryan's with Joy. That was about my entire week. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY NOT TO WRITE A BLOG WHILE YOU WATCH T.V. Watching TV takes so much thought that you can't possibly think of anything to write in your blog. But then again, can I ever think of anything worth writing in a blog? I did write a really cool one about Trevor one time, which reminds me that he's gonna be 30 tomorrow. That's a scary thought... well I've been listening to "Set It Off" a lot lately and I suddenly realized just how awesome it really is. And now I remember what I did this week! I got senior pictures taken! Ah yes, I never thought something called a drape could be so confusing to put on. You have to put your arms in the goliath-sized sleeves, then wrap the strings around the front and tie them so it doesn't fall off. That doesn't sound too hard, does it? Try it. And of course, I had to go and express my hatred for following the crowd by wearing the drape with lace. For those of you who don't know, I'm homeschooled, and because of that, I'm in a homeschooling group. Well I was told that no one in my group has ever worn the drape with lace before, which was basically the whole reason I wore it. Maybe I'll start a new fad. Or maybe I won't. But whether I do or not (I think there's a better chance of not) doesn't really matter to me. I just have to wonder if anyone else this year will wear it... hmmm... For my casual pics, I was wearing my blue guitar shirt (I LOVE GUITAR SHIRTS) , a black skirt, and chucks (I LOVE CHUCKS TOO!) And I had my guitar in some of my pics (I play bass). Then they took semi-formal pics. Oh... my... gosh. I had to pull the drape down off my shoulders and wrap this big white piece of fur around my shoulders. As soon as I saw fur, I started gettin scared, but it was quite the experience. My mom was all like "You looked like you were naked except for that fur." Yeah that was about it... OTHER RANDOM THINGS THAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK: uhhhhhhhhh... *goes blank again* / I almost re-recorded the Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke Song today, but it was a lil late so I didn't. hopefully i will tomorrow tho :D / i saw Pillar's "Where Do We Go From Here - Limited Edition" CD at a store and I didn't know there was ANYWHERE you could buy a new copy of that CD anymore!!!!! / i realized that TFK says "Keep rockin and don't stop" in one of their songs / KEEP ROCKIN AND NEVER STOP! --MC

Choklit Blog #1: Blogging, eating starburst for dinner, and making the tackiest thing ever

hey people! welcome to the new blog series! it's me again... i know i usually wait a long time between blogs, but that's because i always forget about my blog. in case you're wondering why this (and the rest of my blogs from now on) is called "Choklit Blog # ___", just don't ask cuz i really don't feel like explaining anything :D. but i do love chocolate... anyway, i decided to at least try to write a new blog every week now (hence the new title), cuz hopefully i can get em on facebook now (if i can figure out what a feed url is... grrrrr). but probably the only reason i have enough time on this computer (as opposed to the dinosaur) to write a blog is because my brothers are gone for the week. they're at this police cadet... thing. the cops haven't been feeding them enough and one of the few times they did feed them, one of my bros didn't eat any of the barbeque and ate skittles and starburst for dinner instead! good thing they're in town cuz he was home all day yesterday after that. but he felt better when he woke up in the morning and went back so he could get smeared with fake blood in one of their scenarios. i saw the fake blood... it was really fake looking. they could have at least made it a little realistic, but whatever. the honor society officers had a meeting while they were gone (i'm vice president... yay!) and it ended up lasting 3 hours. i'm still not sure how... but it lasted 3 hours. so after the meeting, me and my friend joy were at my house cuz our moms had to go somewhere, and we made the tackiest thing ever... but it has trevor on it so it's ok. i needed a notebook to use for the honor society to take notes and what not, but i needed something to put all the loose papers in too. well my mom gave me this ketchup-red notebook (ketchup makes me sick) that was just sitting on a shelf somewhere and told me to use it. it turns out it was recycled from last year... it was my bros science notebook. i could tell because half of the pages were ripped out and it said his name and "SCIENCE NOTEBOOK" really big on the front. but, being the wonderfully intelligent person i am, i thought to put some blue tape over his name. but then, i decided since it looked really stupid already, i might as well tape a pocket from a folder (which was also ketchup red) to the back so i would have a place for those loose papers. but i still didn't have anything to cover up the words "SCIENCE NOTEBOOK" that almost covered the entire front of the notebook. so i decided to print some pictures of bands and tape them to the front cover. of course, the first one had to be of Trevor McNevan since he's my hero, so i found this picture and started printing it. i thought it would print the size it was on the computer, but it printed it as wide as the piece of paper and i couldn't figure out how to cancel it until it was done printing. it was actually bigger than the front of the notbebook, but i made it fit :D. and of course, i taped it on with that blue tape. when i was done, i wrote "This notebook is the tackiest thing ever" on the front cover. ok that was probably the stupidest blog i've ever written, but WHATEVER! :D i can guarantee you joy will be laughing if she reads it... OTHER RANDOM THINGS THAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK: I got a new radio station where I live! It supposedly plays "the best Christian rock and pop for youth and young adults" but i've hardly heard any rock on there. they did play some tho, but i like it cuz i get to listen to Total Axxess now! yay! / i ate so much KFC for breakfast that i was too nauseous to carry my 13 lb. dog upstairs to give her a bath / my bro got his braces off AND got a haircut! / i watched Really Real Shows again / my bro released his new LEGALLY ANSANE MIXTAPE and you can download it on his site, freewebs.com/emceese7en (i'm in some of the songs on there too).
