Hair is on your head . . . unless you are bald

Hey! Hows a going? Today's topic of discussion is hair. Colors, lengths, styles, and more.
As far as colors go I like just about everything. I like both natural and dyed hair. the only hair color I'm not a fan of is the one I had until I dyed it a month ago. It was dirty blonde and, no offense to anyone with dirty blonde hair, I found it really boring. I like it the color it is now though. It's kind of auburn and I think it's pretty. For hair textures I like mainly curly hair. Corkscrew curls are so pretty and I wish I had them. I don't mind straight hair but everyone has it so I wouldn't straighten my hair and become one of the mass of preppy popular people. I like a lot of different lengths of hair too. I currently have short hair but i am thinking about growing it out because I've had it short for almost two years now. Again though, long hair is popular so I'm going to have to find something else to do with my hair, other than just growing it. I like a lot of styles of hair but it really depends on the person. I love the way dread locks look and when they are done well I think they are amazing. However when they are done poorly they look absolutely terrible. In general it is much easier for African people to make dread locks look good. They just have the right kind of hair or something. I don't know what it is exactly. But I wish I had the right kind of hair for dread locks and then I would in a heartbeat. If anyone of my many millions of nonexistent readers know how to make dreadlocks for a white girl that don't look terrible, please post a comment of how and I will love you forever.
That's all and now I'm going to go do something productive with my time, like watching TV.

Poetry

I now know that it is physically possible for me to write a post soon after I posted that last one. So hey world. What's up?
Today I am going to discuss poetry. In English we have been reading and listening to poetry being recited on Poetry out Loud. I think it is an interesting program. Nationwide poetry reading contest. Fun stuff. The only problem is I don't like a lot of the poems. I don't like a lot of more modern poetry. I like things like "The Lady of Shalott" and "The Raven" and stuff like that. You know, classics. I like some of them but in general I find some poems just kind of weird and pointless. Seriously, do we all care about how this happened or that occurred or whatchamacallit. I personally don't care at all. Maybe I am a terrible person who doesn't care about other people's feeling or emotions or what they are thinking. Or maybe I just come across poetry that I don't like very much. Maybe I should start caring about these random people I don't know more. Even if they are dead or I will never meet them as long as I live. That is beside the point. The point is that modern poetry kind of sucks and if we want to read good poetry, in my humble opinion, we have to travel beck at least one hundred years.

And here we are again

I know I haven't written in more than two months but no one really reads this anyway so it's not like it really matters that much. If anyone is actually reading this, how are you? I wonder how it is you have stumbled across this blog. So here we are, in the nether-regions of the internet. The internet is just a huge void, a gaping hole that people pour random stuff into and hope someone will find it. Most of the time people don't. Just taking up space and making the internet load that much slower. I am very well aware that I am just clogging up the internet with some more useless gibberish that no one will read but there is a certain satisfaction to sending it out there. Just knowing that there is a minute possibility that a complete stranger will read what you have written even if they are halfway across the world. Or maybe I just like to talk about stuff that no one wants to listen to and no one can stop me if they are on the other side of the planet. Even if you, whoever you are, is merely reading this to pass the time because you have nothing too do with your time I appreciate you spent a minute or two to pretend you care about what I have to say.
Have a nice day and a nice rest of your life. I hope you enjoy the somewhat-not-very-nice weather we have been having.

How are you?

Hi, I thought that now we are into a new month, or we were yesterday, I should start writing more regularly on my blog. Yes, it has been almost a month. Yes, I know no one really cares about what I have to say on it. Yes, I know this is a profound waste of time. But I will prevail! I will manage to write one post every day for a while! I know I have never done that for more than three days in a row . . . but it's never to late to try.
Exiting things have been happening recently! I have sprained my ankle (I think, there is no official report yet) and I have fulfilled my lifetime dream of owning a pair of crutches. The handles are the squishiest things you have ever seen but I am not enjoying the whole not being able to use my right foot and it feels funny and numb because all it does is hang there all day. I must get to writing some random stuff about Gilgamesh and ancient Mesopotamian culture.
Have a nice life!

Drama out the Wazoo

Today someone has told me what they want me to write about. My darling dearest lump of an older sister has given me a suggestion. Hi Camilla!
Anyway she wants me to write about pairings. I will do that. 
Lets start with Harry Potter.
     Draco/Hermione: the most adorable thing you have ever seen in your entire life <3
     Snape/Lily: I honestly have no idea why Lily married that jerk that calls himself James Potter. Snape loves her and he did everything for her and they would have been so cute together.
     James/Sirius: I always thought that they would have made a really cute couple. They were best friends all through school and they are just so perfect for each other.
     Bellatrix/Voldemort: She worships him for some insane reason and I always loved them together.
     Neville/Luna: They made it really obvious in the movie and I have always really liked both of them and I have always wanted them to get together.

Unless you are an anime nerd you will have no idea who most of these characters are, but I don't care.
Clampverse
     Kurogane/Fai: I love them so much that I want to marry both of them but I can't because they are too perfect for each other. Also what I love is they are pretty much canon. Click for Adorableness
     Touya/Yukito: I can never remember their names but I still like them in both Tsubasa and Cardcaptor Sakura. They are Really Cute

I think that's all for today because I am lazy, the next post will be more pairings, but next time I will post pairings I don't like. 
Have a nice life!

By the by, the title has absolutely nothing to do with this post in case you couldn't tell.

Yes, it's been a while

Well, after the hurricane I lost power until Wednesday and got internet back on Thursday. I didn't have very much time on Thursday though and all day yesterday was getting ready for my sleepover. And because I had a sleepover last night I only got about forty five minutes of sleep during a movie. I made these cookies and they were really good. I was going to make a cooking video like Martha Stewart while I was making them but the camera didn't have any charge. Anyway, they are really yummy.

White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

2 eggs

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon almond extract (If you don't have almond extract and it really expensive so you don't want to buy any, just double the vanilla and it is still really good)

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts

1 cup coarsely chopped white chocolate

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and almond extracts. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in the macadamia nuts and white chocolate. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

3. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.

Today I am also going to write a very brief review for all of the movies I watched last night and this morning.
  • Gnomeo and Juliet: Romeo and Juliet with garden gnomes. Cute and pretty funny but not spectacular.
  • Happy Gilmore: A hockey player joins the pro golf tour to get enough money to get his grandmother's house back because she hasn't paid taxes in years. Love this movie! Absolutely hilarious!
  • Love Actually: Romantic comedy about a bunch of people who all have interlocking stories. Really cute and funny and sweet, the kind of movie that makes your head want to explode from the adorableness.
  • Barbie- A Mermaid Tale: I personally love Barbie movies, mainly because they are so stupid. This one might have been the stupidest Barbie movie so far, and that is saying something! Surfer girl/mermaid princess!
  • Nancy Drew: I like this movie very much at two thirty in the morning, it was also pretty stupid but no where near as stupid as Barbie. I think if I had watched it at another time of day it wouldn't have been as funny, but I liked it.
  • Howl's Moving Castle: I am a total anime nerd so obviously I love this movie. I have seen it a million times and if you don' know the story (if you haven't read the book or seen the movie) you really should see this movie. Sweet, romantic, and really awesome.
  • How Can You Know?: It looked like an okay movie but I kept falling asleep because it was around six in the morning. If you watch five minutes of a movie and then sleep for ten to fifteen minutes any movie can suddenly become really confusing.
  • Casino Royale: The first James Bond movie that I have ever seen. I really liked it. It just seemed that most of the movie was a very sweaty James Bond running after cars or fighting people. In a good way . . . My only problem with it was the ending. It had a little bit of a Lord of the Rings ending. You think it's over but then there's more, it ends, there's more, and when you think it is finally over there is just a little bit more. I thought it was going to end about six times before it actually ended.
Adios amigos!

Blah, blah, blah

For the first time in a really long time I have now written two days in a row. I actually am really tired of typing right I have been typing all day for my stupid summer homework.
So maybe I should talk instead of type. Hm . . . .

Have a nice and gnome free day!
