Thoughts

Hello, It's been a while!!!
I've been really busy this past two weeks. So, to make up for it, I will (attempt to) make cream puffs!!! >.<
I'll share my results in another post.

Halloween is so close! It's in three days, I think. I originally said that I was going to be Totoro from My Neighbor Totoro, but I changed my mind last minute. I'm going to be a white cat! ^.^
I crocheted my hat and the ears, and I'm going to have a red "collar". I'll just wear a white shirt and jeans (no tail because I think that these are annoying when you sit down -.-) for the rest of my costume. I'll post pictures later of this too.

I can't believe that I didn't notice that you can title posts until now. Shows how I don't pay attention to some things. -.-;
Well, as you can see, this post is called thoughts. I shared some of my posts above,  but what I really wanted to share was thoughts about life.
Last night, I was thinking really hard. I thought that although I wanted to go back into the past to go change my regrets, I don't want to because in the past, I was just a little girl who didn't know anything (I like how I can remember so many things now). I also believe in parallel worlds and stuff like that, so I think that if I go into the past, change things, and return to the time I came from, nothing would really change because I would have just created another parallel world. It's really confusing. Yet so interesting ^.^
Then, I thought that I wouldn't want to go to the future because, frankly, I'm scared of the future. It's such a mystery to me. I have absolutely no idea what I want to be in the future. I've considered becoming a teacher,  but it just doesn't seem that interesting to me. I like arts and crafts, certain music, and making things. Teaching sounds like it would be fun, but I think that there might be another job out there that I would like more. I also don't want to go to the future because I'm really content and satisfied here in the present. (although "present" is kind of hard to say. I think that present would be, like, only 0.11111111 seconds long. For example...........just then, when I typed "For example", that is already in the past. Yeah, this is confusing too) I guess I just don't want to grow up.
Then, I don't want to stay in the present because that would just be a living hell. In fact, staying in any time period would be a living hell. You would never change. Time would never change or pass.
My "present" right now is also not perfect. I did say that I was content, but I feel that that is only because I am very obedient and I've taught myself not to expect much out of anything to avoid the feeling of disappointment. Honestly, I think that I should probably ask more out of my parents. My family is also another problem. My parents are divorced, ever since I was in 1st grade or something, yet I've never really felt anything about it (like felt sad, or angry. It was indifferent to me. And because of that, my mother fell into a state of almost depression. She told me and my brother later, a couple years ago. I feel really bad about it. If only I had more emotions. That's one of the things I'm trying to change now.) When this woman started to live with us, I didn't even question it. She then married my father (who I live with for about 3/4 of the year) for who-knows-what reason. (I know it's bad to talk behind someone's back, but I really feel that my father is so head-over-heals in love with my stepmother, that he'll do anything to impress her. He's gotten mad at me and my brother so many times for making him look bad. He also buys her a bunch of stuff, and often leaves me and my brother alone. He's more like a guardian than a father to me. Then, my stepmother is the kind of person who appears to be kind and nice, but she really likes to impress others. I think that that's one of the reason she asks for so much. Life really does suck, huh :\ )
When she got married, I barely knew anything about her. I still know little to nothing about her, other than some of her personality traits that I said before. I also know that she likes yoga, was a secretary (?), her homeland, and likes to impress others. Her sense of style/fashion is a bit weird; she likes to look and dress young, so she often buys clothes for teenagers. Then, she wears jean pants or skirts or dress that have patterns that were sewn or patched on. I've never met her family before, and the only time that we, as a family, act/seem like a family is around our dog, Mochi, whom we got in January (she's almost 1 year old!!! :D )
I probably should ask her more about her background. I've asked dozens of people, and they all think that my family is messed up and that I deserve to know more.
It's just that I'm scared. Not of my stepmother, but of my father.
Hah, this is so tiring.
Thanks for listening everyone. I'll post cream puff pictures later. bye!

Hiya! ^.^
I have A LOT of work to do today, so I don't have much time to post something long. But, here's an awesome meme video that I really love! :D
Yes, I know it's old, but I just love it so much!!! >.<
I love the numa numa part especially.
Bye everyone!!!

P.S. By the way, I noticed that on my post about The Legend of Korra, the last picture didn't come out. So, I just took that part out and edited the whole post.
P.P.S. Enjoying "Lose Yourself" right now! ^.^

Hi!
I was looking through Youtube today, and I found a bunch of cool videos!!! (some are kind of old)
The first is a bad (but really cool)lip-reading video of Taylor Swift in the music video of "Our Song". Wiz Khalifa is also in it, and the song is called "(Rockin') All Nite Long" (I have no idea if it's a real song or not, and I'm sorry to the fans of the artist(s) who sung/wrote that song if it is real.)

The second is also similar to the first one. Here it is:
The person who made this is basically talking to his dog about a bunch of food. He then makes up the dog's voice and responds. It's so cute ^.^

And the last is of a sneezing baby panda that scares its mom. It's pretty old, but so cute!!! :D

Well, it turns out that my microwave is broken, so I can't make s'mores anymore :'( (Yup, that's how I make s'mores. Just pop some graham crackers, a marshmallow, and some chocolate in a microwave for about a minute.) So, I tried to make them through my toaster/baker/oven thing. I don't really know what it's actually called. Anyways, I put all my ingredients in there and toasted it. It turned out pretty good, except the marshmallow ended up being like a soft, sticky liquid in the inside, and slightly harder and cracky-looking on the outside (I know. best description ever). That's when I got an idea-- I should try putting chocolate or some chocolate cream in a marshmallow and then toasting them both together. It would be sooooo good!!!! >.< Hey! It's my idea!!! Don't steal it!!!

Well, that's all I really have for now. I am in the process of making a crochet beanie that looks better than my previous two. I'll try to post a picture or something when I finish ;) Bye!

Hi everyone!
First, I just wanted to say that I will post during the weekends, so either Saturday or Sunday (of the United States, West Coast). I might post on one day, the other, or both. And I'm very sorry if I forget to or don't have time to post at all.

I had a very interesting week.
One of the things taht happened was that my fellow classmate called my Social Studies teacher a troll. (He had no idea what it meant, but after we told him, he was totally cool with it. He's such an awesome teacher. :D) In case you don't know what a troll is here is the definition: troll: (noun) A person who deliberately posts a provocative message with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument
She called him that because it was the second time that he had tried to trick the class. The first time was when we had a substitute teacher who left a note. When he told us what it said, he maid it sound like we weren't working while he was gone.
The second time was when he said that he had bad news about our tests (we thought he meant that all of us got an F or something). In the end, he was just saying that he never got to grade them. But still, he's a pretty awesome teacher though. >.<

I also learned about more cool Google things!!! And I'm going to show you some here:
1) Go to the Google Homepage (the really plain and blank one, unless it's a holiday) or search something on Google.
Now, you can go to any one of these (I'm not going to tell you what some of them do....you have to find out yourself :3):
-type "tilt" or "askew" and hit enter.
-type "do a barrel roll" and hit enter.
-There isn't a Pacman Google homepage anymore (I think), but try this: http://www.google.com/doodles/30th-anniversary-of-pac-man Play in one-player or two-player mode by "inserting coins". Move around usnig your
-type "zerg rush" and hit enter. Defend your search results from the "o"'s by shooting them with your left mouse button.
-type "google gravity" and hit enter. Or go to this site: http://mrdoob.com/projects/chromeexperiments/google_gravity/ Then, type something in the search bar and see what comes falling down.
-type "google sphere" and hit enter. Or go to this site: http://mrdoob.com/projects/chromeexperiments/google_sphere/  Type something in the search bar and see what happens.

Well, there's a LOT more. I got some of these cool Google tricks from this site: http://www.portent.com/blog/random/best-google-tricks-easter-eggs-april-fools-jokes-and-pranks.htm Check it out to see more!

Well, I have to go now, because my fingers are freezing cold. Bye!!! >.<

Hi there!
I've been really sad recently :'(
It's because there aren't any more The Legend of Korra episodes to watch anymore.
WWHHHYYY!!????
WHY YOU NO RELEASE KORRA EPISODES!!!???
Now I will tell you what happened.
I told you how I was going to watch Korra, right? Well I did, and now I've finished all of book/season 1! And season/book 2 doesn't come out until 2013!!! WHHY!??? TT^TT It could be January 1 or December 31 or 2013!!! Anyways, they should hurry up before I lose my interest.

While I was on the internet, I found some pretty cool and pretty accurate family/relationship trees from both Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. Here are two of them. (CAREFUL!!! There are some spoilers here. If you haven't finished watching both series, I suggest that you don't look at these.)
This one is a smaller one which shows the relationships between people (like "friends")

This one includes relationships that don't exist anymore. It also has question marks people things that we don't know or that they haven't released/showed on the show. (Especially how they say Bumi is Iroh's father. I have absolutely no idea where they got that from. But it is possible.)

Well that's all for now! I really hope that they'll release new episodes soon though. Bye!

Friday, October 5, 2012

Hello there!
Today, I want to talk about the horrible music video, "Friday", which made Rebecca Black infamous on Youtube. If you have already seen the horror once or don't want to even know what the horror was about, do not watch the music video below. I repeat: DO NOT WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO BELOW.
"Why?" That is my only question. Why would you torture us like this? Why would you make a music video that was so horrible when the lyrics to the song don't even make sense!?
Here are the multiple things I found wrong with this video: (I'm usually not someone who says criticizes people and/or does this kind of thing, but this is an exception.)

1) When the music video starts, the visuals don't look that good/appealing. Rebecca Black looks so weird on the notepad-thingy.
2) Also in the beginning, Rebecca is just standing there and singing. Shouldn't there be a bit more movement? (and also one of her lyrics involves eating cereal. seriously?)
3) One of the most messed up parts of the video. First though, the lyrics to this part:
Gotta get down to the bus stop
Gotta catch my bus, I see my friends

Kickin' in the front seat
Sittin' in the back seat
Gotta make my mind up
Which seat can I take?
First if all. Why is she at the bus stop if her friends are going to pick her up? Second, if her friends are her classmates, they shouldn't even be driving! When Rebecca Black made that video, she was only 14! She's not even old enough to drive now!!! And finally, there is only one seat left. the "back seat". What is she, blind!???
4) The part when they are driving during the night. #1: TOO MUCH MAKE-UP!!!! #2: it looks so fake
5) At the "party" you finally get to see Rebecca's dress. I personally thought it didn't suit her and that it is a little too mature. And I don't know if it was just me, but I think I saw a boy who looked like he was in 6th grade of something.
6) Rebecca Black states so many obvious things throughout the song. The most obvious was when she was naming the days of the week: 
Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday
Today i-is Friday, Friday
We-we-we so excited
We so excited
We gonna have a ball today

Tomorrow is Saturday
And Sunday comes after...wards
I don't wan this weekend to end.
Really!? Do you think that we don't know the days of the week!!!???? Also, there was very bad grammar and the visuals freaked me out again. O.o
7) WTF!!!??? O_O Some rapping dude just pops out of freakin' no where!!! He's rapping is actually pretty good, but it also looks really fake.
8) and finally, (oh, so FINALLY!!!) at the end of the video. she looks really akward singing for the crowd. Or at least she did to me. I will say, though, that that was probably one of the only good parts in this video.

I know you probably don't want to keep hearing me rant on about "Friday" sucks, but I just can't help it!!! >_< I'm already this far!!!
Rebecca's voice is so auto-tuned that you can barely tell what her real singing voice is. If I could hear that, then I would be willing to admit that she's a talented singer, but since I don't see any evidence whatsoever, I can't/won't do it.
After reading about how Rebecca's mother paid $4000 dollars for Rebecca to record and shoot a music video for this song, I felt that she was a little spoiled. That may not be the case, but that's either the truth or that the internet is a very good lier... (weird sentence)
Apparently, I just checked Youtube, and this video has 40,426,364 views. There are 201,104 likes and 827,828 dislikes (pfft...fail)

To sum it up, "Friday" by Rebecca Black is a complete failure (and I mean complete), and over-autotuned mess, and Rebecca's biggest embarrassment (even more so because she put it on the internet which can be seen everywhere). What I don't get is that she would make another video, "My Moment".
Okay, so first you torture us with your stupid song "Friday" that is extremely auto-tuned and pointless. Now you want us to listen to another one of your songs with lyrics that praise yourself about getting famous. Wow. Does this girl have any pride? 
There is definitely less computer work on her voice in the music video, but this song is also pointless. I really, truly wonder how many of the fans are real and who are the actors/actresses/extras that were asked to be filmed in the video
She's even confident enough to address her haters (including me), saying:
Haters said I'd see ya later
Can't talk to you right now
I'm getting my paper
Then I'm doing big things
Things you never dreamed of
I hope you are happy
Cause I'm bout to blow up
...wow. This girl is really rude and arrogant and sarcastic if you read these lyrics. If you don't want haters (actually, I don't think she knows how many haters she really has :) ), just be nice and write good songs, and help others.
But first! Let's answer/react to her questions, shall we? (actually it's just me, but if you want to too, go ahead!)
First 3 lines: How very rude
Line 4-5: It's true that I don't dream about becoming famous overnight. It's because I don't look too forward into my future to make high expectations for myself. Truth: Most people don't become popular pop stars.... not even you.
Line 6: Yes, thank you. I am actually very happy, content, and satisfied right now. ^.^ I have good friends.
Line 7: What a line full of confidence and arrogance!!! :D

You can look up other horrible things and music videos of Rebecca Black. I'm far too tired to go anymore -.-
Until next time!!!...I'm done ranting now
