Summer days, drifting away...so long to those summer nights. :(

Summer laziness had me a blast
I never thought it’d end so fast
I shall miss these days camping out on my couch
My life has changed because of House
Gone are the times of belting out California Gurls
And watching my friend get her hair curled
So much for my foodie free-for-all
My meals are so…scheduled when it’s fall
Goodbye to the life of leisure I knew
No more staying up ‘til half past two
Now I have to go back to school
And watch my unpopular friends become cool
I have to be on my best behavior
While I fight for my piano player
Alas, I suppose this is when
I bid farewell to the summer of 2010.

Let us all have a moment of silence. Say adieu to camping out in front of your computer in hopes of bamming the next Blogging Twilight, eating angel food cake and 6 Oreos for breakfast, and 19 hour marathons of 24. There will be no more of that for a WHOLE 'NOTHER YEAR. That being said (in our moment of silence, no less), I am going to share my goals for this coming school year with all of you! Maybe if I publicize them, I might actually have the incentive to keep them, or at least have the decency to feel guilty if I don't.

1. Do not sing/hum/vocalize-in-any-way my favorite songs when they are stuck in my head.
This will piss off everyone around me, insult the original artist, and not do anything to accomplish sticking them out of my head.

2. Use the planner.
This is, admittedly, the third year I have sworn to do this. And I'm sure (except in the case of an act of God) this will be the third year I ditch this particular plan.

3. Study for tests.
If I am headed for Stanford's medical school (which I certainly am...eventually), I need to develop good study habits NOW. Cramming 10 words of similar vocab once a week in passing period is not suitable practice for memorizing all 206 bones of the body!

and lastly:
4. ACQUIRING THE PIANO PLAYER.
I need one! I need that one! I want the one I had last year, and so what if he says no? I will MAKE him say yes! My plans include (so far): blackmail. 

...It should work. Manipulation solves everything.

Hope y'all are doing well!

TTFN!

Gonna Trade This Life for Fortune and Fame…(That’s What He Thinks, Anyway)

I’m not gonna lie, I really am a fairly athletic person. I play soccer and tennis, and I can run for prolonged periods of time (seriously, I really can. LONG periods of time). Unfortunately, as much as I love tennis, I am not that great at it. But thanks to playing badminton with the 5 year old I babysat earlier today, I feel like Roger Federer. (I don’t know any professional badminton players.) Wooooo!!! Other highlights of the money-making process include:

Child: I have three choices of what to be when I grow up!
Me: What do you want to be?
Child: A rock star-
Me: (somewhat sarcastically) You’d make a good rock star.
Child: (matter-of-factly) I know.

(we had just finished reading a book, and he walks around the room, finally stopping next to me)
Child: I think we should do something else.
Me: Like what?
Child: Let’s talk about something.
Me: Sure, if you want.
Child: Let’s discuss our pajamas.
Me: *speechless*

In other news, what was up with the Emmys last night? Jimmy Fallon was not hilarious enough, Alec Baldwin was defeated, and Hugh Laurie was robbed of his statue YET AGAIN. I almost cried. By portraying House perfectly through all the trials he endured last season, Hugh needs that Emmy! It is long overdue.
 I’m out, blog-readers! Time to go write the Emmy people some hate mail!

I'm in too deep...

Cheese, Cheese, Cheese....what have you gotten yourself into? This blog is so empty. What was I thinking, starting a BRAND NEW BLOG?! I should have gotten a used one. It'd already be overflowing with inspiration, and charm, and wit, and...other good stuff that's important for blogs. I could have bribed Coffinmaker to sell me his blog (do you like chocolate chip cookies?)! But noooo, instead I elected to make my OWN. From scratch. *facepalm*

This would be a good time for my anthem. My ANTHEM, I say! At times like these, I just need to crank up the volume and blast a theme song. Here we go!

I like embracing the cheese
And not hurting my knees
Maybe soccer isn't the best for that
When I play tennis I have a cool hat
It's actually a visor
It was a gift, 'cause I'm a miser
I like to travel
And not have my life unravel
This blog is gonna help me
Someday I'll win an Emmy.

HOLLA, yo!


...Alrighty then, that's that. You know how this is going to work? I am going to establish a routine for my blog, so that I don't melt in a helpless puddle of hopelessness and confusion. I shall learn how to cook. That's a productive use of my time, right? I don't want to starve to death in a few years! So on a certain day (possibly random, possibly TBD), I will write about my (mis)adventures in the kitchen. Until it burns down, anyway. Hallelujah, we have a starting idea for Not So Cheesy! (Haha. Wait, don't you get it? Say it out loud. NOT. SO. CHEESY. HAHAHAHA. Adhit is so funny, isn't he?)

So long for now!

The Pressure's ON

Uh....

*shrinks*

Wait, can I take that back? The first thing you read on my blog should not be me faltering in the face of awkwardness! I am not afraid! I will take this blog, and change the world!!! One not-so-cheesy moment at a time.
