nine tea duh grease -_-

I would like you, dearest reader, to go turn off your air conditioning for about twenty four hours. That's what I'm feeling right now. Why? Because the air conditioner isn't working. It's like a permanent sauna just for me. Benefits? Maybe I'll have perfect skin. Doubt it. But it's fun playing spa day, I have a nice bottle of ice water right beside me! Well, make that about 1/6th of a water bottle. . .

Temperature is so interesting to me. In the winter you want summer, in the summer you want winter... And I'm really starting to want to go to one of those snowboarding places with all that fake snow everywhere, just to get out of the house. Too bad I'm a terrible snowboarder. Thus the nickname Miss IcyPants after the first ski trip I ever went on with my school. But it ended nicely when I made friends with the workers in the lodge after my very failed attempt at snowboarding. Except for that one guy that kept arguing with me about buying the awesome checkered beanie at Red Baron. But let's get back to the sauna...!

You know what's cool though? Is that in the summer time, we're about halfway done with our yearly trip around the earth! And the sun is giving us extra rays COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE! I think that's cool. I mean seriously. I'm starting to wish that any kind of temperature was comfortable. I'm starting to feel like controlling temperature is a waste of money and that nature should just be enjoyed as is. Except, it can't be enjoyed because it's horrendous and uncomfortable! So, back to manipulating nature because of its intolerable ways. Yay!

I can't even imagine how people could go running in this weather. I hate running in any temperature. But definitely in this weather. In fact, my lack of exercise proved to be ridiculously embarassing the other night. A friend and I were downtown in Falls Park and were to be picked up at Spill the Beans. If you're from the area you know that there are many steps and hills leading from Falls Park to STB. Not wanting to make our ride wait, we starting running up the hills and stairs and about halfway there we both started panting and resorted to lugging our pathetically tired bodies up the rest of the stairs. Right then I heard an "Excuse me" and turned to see a very buff and sweaty jogger wishing to pass us. Good job man, and thanks for the humiliation. Way to make me feel like a pansy. I wish I could say that I'm now committed to a running schedule and am determined to get in perfect shape, but sadly all I can say is that I only ate one cookie at lunch today rather than two...

I believe the air conditioning is starting to work a little better. There is about 1/17th of water left in my water bottle, and I don't see anymore steam! Okay, okay, there wasn't any steam. It'd be cool though right?? Right. So if you actually did go turn off your air conditioning I would suggest you turn it back on before you get overheated. And thank God for thermostats. Without them we would have no way of manipulating nature. Yay air conditioning! Chocolate is brown.

Pronounciation. Shut up. Pronunciation.

Nuclear, prerogative, and even mispronunciation are among the top three mispronounced words in our language. You probably say "prob-lee" half the time, too. Now, this isn't a rant on honest mistakes, and let me warn you this will be a rant. But it is about when someone corrects you on a pronunciation for your own good and you ungratefully reply with "Well, that's just how I say it." They aren't being rude by correcting you (okay, maybe some people are just trying to show-off) but most of the time they're just letting you know. So, please, don't hate us for being helpful. Just correct your pronunciation. You will be thanked. Your refusal to be correct isn't making you unique, but rather giving you the appearance of a stubborn idiot.  If you'd like the rest of us that actually know how to talk to jest and poke fun at you or be aggrivating by your constant verbal errors, go ahead and be wrong. Not that we're all jerks, but if we correct you and you say no, then we'll make fun. Your fault. No one will look down on you for being correct. Isn't that what most people strive for? Correct pronunciation gives you much more credibililty when you want people to listen and respect you. For instance, if you're talking to a musician and you constantly pronounce Mozart incorrectly, they most likely won't give you much of their time, and if they correct you and you continue to mispronounce the name of one of our most influential composers, you will be disrespected. Same with art and the pronunciation of Da Vinci. Same with computer jargon. Same with everyday language. Pronunciation is important. What if I called you sweaty rather than sweety? Or said you look cut rather than cute? What kind of person would you think I was? So say it right, and you will be right. (: Chocolate is Brown.

The running water...

My fish tank is now in my room again. I can't remember why but we had put my fish, Fonzie, in the kitchen and didn't put him back in my room til just a couple days ago. Water runs through the filter contantly to keep the water pure. Thus all I hear in my room is running water. It's like having a fountain, just less poetic. It annoys me to death half the time because I'll be watching a movie and then just randomly notice the water again. Running, running, and yes, contrary to popular belief it is yet still running at this moment... It is continuous. Duh. Haha that means it's self-evident. Nevermind, random inside joke with myself and the rest of people that ever took the same US History class I did. As I was saying the water runs. I have found that people react in two different ways when they come into my drip sounding room. They either say "soothing" or "it makes me have to use the bathroom". I apologize. So far I haven't wet the bed or anything so I doubt that is a huge issue. I'm feeling awkward now. Moving right along like the Muppets, I find myself having a little bit of trouble falling asleep at night with this dripping sound. I feel like I should turn it off, but that would be fish homicide. I love my fish. So I just get to sleep really late! Strange thing is when I wake up in the middle of the night, the sound of running water puts me right back to sleep. Is this running water the Jekyll or Hyde of my life? I don't know. But I know that Chocolate is Brown.

Headaches and Advertising

I have a headache right now. I get them often. Ooh dinner time! I'll finish this later... Okay I am back. My mother maked some wicked good spaghetti. No really. I know that everyone says their mom makes the best spaghetti, but no offense, my mom's is the best. So I am currently waiting to watch a movie that I got on DVD and the reason I'm waiting is because there's 15 minutes of advertising before I can watch the movie. Tell me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the point of even buying a DVD is so that you don't have to sit through the advertisements... So here comes my rant on advertising. It's really annoying when you're waiting for something, but think about how many witty or funny commercials there are out there. Honestly sometimes I actually enjoy commercials better than the actual show. And if there weren't commercials when would you have the time to make popcorn or use the little girl's room? I've actually wanted to be in a commercial before. I'm not sure why... Another one of my random dreams. What do you think of commercials? I find it kind of amusing that people can get so upset about a boring commercial. Really? It's only like 30 seconds long. And yes I know you don't need the medication they're advertising but somebody else might and if they didn't see that commercial and didn't see that product and didn't go buy the product because of the commercial THEY COULD BE DEAD RIGHT NOW. So give the boring commercial some slack... Just a little? No? Okay heartless mcgee. I see how it is. Just wait til you're locked up in a cage with sad music in the background, I bet the rescue puppies won't come to your aid then. Heartless McGee. What a shame. I wish I could have commercial breaks in my blog posts. You know what? Why can't I? Go buy some Pringles. There are so many different flavors and you can make duck bills with them! Perfect! Now why don't you go get some Pringles? You better not be a Pringles hater.... Yes I am terrible at written advertisements. I apologize. But hey I don't have "Advertisement Specialist" on my office door. I don't even have an office door. Or an office for goodness' sakes! So back to commercials... Or headaches... Or commercials for headache medication. This is getting comlicated or complex. Which word do you choose? You have to define it first. It's a rule. Okay, time to go watch my movie on this pointlessly advertising DVD.... Chocolate is Brown.

Ice...

It's cold. It's annoying. It gives you brain freeze. But hey, your nasty flat Coca-Cola would taste way better with it. Oh the tray is empty? Ugh. That's a bummer. But stop being so lazy, just go fill it up with water and wait a couple hours. I will admit that I hate filling ice trays. Buuuuut, it's usually necessary. I mean, who else is gonna do it for you? Exactly. No one. Because we all hate the mundane task of putting water in a tray. Life is so hard. ): But for real, it will be okay in the end. Maybe even better. I believe in you. C'mon you can do it. Yes, that's it! Go go go! Good job. You've refilled the ice tray (: The world thanks you. Chocolate is brown.

The Sun is Shining for You

Did you forget? It's right there. Beaming. Oh you can't see it? Too many clouds? It must be broken. No. It's still there for you. It will be there tomorrow. It was there when it was raining yesterday. The sun is shining for you today. The sun- do you even think about it? Yeah that big fire ball in the sky. It might get annoying sometimes with it's constant heat in the summer, but admit it. You miss it's warmth during the winter. Thankfully, you know it will be just a couple of months before it starts beating on your head again. Encouraging, right? At least the sun is yellow and cheery. I mean seriously, it could've been black and cold you know. Well maybe you hate the color yellow, but who cares? The sun is beautiful. Chocolate is brown.
