February

February:

Phwoop! It's February! I didn't post all of January...meh.
So February is full of awesome stuff:

1) Valentines Day [February 14th]
I usually have nothing to do on Valentines day, as Audrey calls it "Singles Awareness Day"...but I do get free candy. :D And what's better than free candy?!

2) National Snack Food Month
I didn't even know there was a national snack food month. I love February now.

3) World Nutella Day [February 5th]
Forget what I said about the snack foods. I want Nutella now....

Once, I had fake Nutella...it was some random store's brand. It was terrible...*shudder* It tasted like water and chocolate powder. Stupid cheap Nutella.
My friends Aadil, Nazleen, and Mariam often have Epic Nutella Battles via Texting. It's pretty stupid, but it sure is epic. It consists of taking pictures of various Nutella products and engaging in fake battles by texting.... :D I love my geeky friends.

4) White T-Shirt Day [February 11th]
White T-Shirts...are bland and sad....so for this holiday I believe I will color a white T-Shirt with rainbow Sharpies....I love to Sharpiefy things. :3 [I've sharpiefied my shoes, my backpack, one of my dad's shirts, which turned out to be UBER EPIC by the way....etc....]

5) Random Acts of Kindness Day [February 15th]
(^_^)
6) World Thinking Day [February 22nd]
.......0____o; this seems like an awkward day. I thought people thought every day.

Wahah!! As you have seen, these [except Valentines Day] are not very popular holidays...but I'm gonna start celebrating them from now on.
Oh yeah~ my source is this.

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

I wanna see it.

I wanna see it really really badly.

I love Tim Burton movies.

It has Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter in it...and whenever I see those names I think SWEENEY TODD which makes me all happy and huzzah-ful.

My friend Josh showed me the trailer and said, "It's so twisted like us!!!!"

By that he meant it holds our creepiness and abnormalness. XD

Audrey is going to dress up when she goes to see it....so I'm making her a bow that reflects the movie. And I wanna make a mini top hat like the one the Mad Hatter wears.

That would be epic.

:D

[I got the picture from somewhere on the internet...it was one of the first ones to come up.]

The Truth Behind Twilight

I now understand why so many people are obsessed with Twilight.
This is completely reasonable, and I don't care how much you love Twilight, just read it and you will be enlightened. Twilight makes so much more sense now.

I mean, I always knew Twilight was just a plot revolving around money and fans. But here is the science, the TRUTH, behind it.

Complete with diagrams. ^_^

The Story of Twilight

I agree with all of it.

And you should too.

I'm also going to read Nightlight: Parody of Twilight and Twilite: A Parody. I hope they do an awesome job of making fun of Twilight. >:D

The Second Day of Winter Break

I hate how the world works.
You want something so badly, and then once you get it you want the opposite again.
Kind of like right now...it's winter break. Last week I was sooo excited for winter break!! And once it came, I wished I was at school again.
I miss having people to talk to.
I miss horrible chapter outlines.
I miss making a fool of myself in p.e.
It's all better than sitting here Facebooking all day. But once we get back to school, I'm going to wish it was break again.
Stupid world.

Something good happened today though. My friend Josh was looking through "People You May Know" on Facebook. He found our old history class student teacher from seventh grade, Mr. Lin. He also found Mr. Lin's blog. So he shared the link with me, and when I read the part about him teaching at Lakeside it got all nostalgic and such. So Mr. Lin: if you read my comment and went to my blog and are currently reading this, history is going pretty well. It's more in depth than last year, since it is American history. I liked world history better, because of the Aztec/Inca/Maya unit we did [which is my favorite subject in the world]. And I hope the sock thingie I made you is doing awesomely.

I just noticed that Blogger's spell check checks in British. It corrected "favorite" into "favourite." I also tried "theater" and I got "theatre." "Color was changed to "colour."
It also [sadly] counts "blog" as an error. It seemed pretty contradictory.

That Confused Me.

Huzzah. Today is the first day of winter break. WINTER break.
But why is it 80 degrees outside??? >_< It's been extremely hot yesterday and today, which has completely ruined winter break! I want to sleep.
Sigh...for the past two weeks I have worn scarves and Uggs and sweaters and such. And then break comes and I'm in shorts and a t-shirt and I'm sweating.
I hate this.

Also today, I noticed that my flowers died.
They were fake flowers.
How is this even possible?

Weird Stuff that Happened to me This Week

Weird Stuff that Happened to me This Week:

1) I found my dad watching Ni Hao Kai-Lan. He was interacting with the TV too.
2) I had an epic Poke-Duel with my friend Josh. Via FacebookChat.
3) I made the mistake of showing my brother Charlie the Unicorn. Now he has watched all three episodes. Multiple times. And now I get to wake up to him singing the Banana song or the Sea Creatures that Love You song every single morning.
4) I made my friend Audrey a squishy bunny. It was fun carrying it around to school because it was so ginormous. But then I accidentally made him throw up.
5) Someone called me at six in the morning on Wednesday. It was a wrong number. And I never got to make up the sleep I lost.
6) I made my clay octopuses into earrings. :D I will post pictures. But not now.
7) My dad hacked my Facebook. And wrote a bunch of creepy statuses. It's not the first time he's done this. [I deleted those statuses though]
8) I heard a commercial that said: "Give a goat to a family in need." I now want to be a needy person really badly.
9) I wrote 55 lines on a poem that was supposed to be 15 lines. And the title of the poem was "I Can't Write Poetry." [Yeh, I've told you this already, but I wanted to put it in the list]
10) I watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas twice today. Once in drama, and once in language arts which is taught by my drama teacher. She's also my advisor, so I almost had to watch it again at our holiday party. But thankfully we didn't.

Ornithiphobia

Yesterday, the entire school went outside to watch the Student Vs. Staff volleyball game. It was painfully boring
So my friend Kavya "amused" me the entire time.

Basically what happened was this:
Kavya described to me the first five episodes of Big Bang Theory in great detail and commentary. And it also involved me staring off into space and going "uh huh..." and "hmm..." at the end of every sentence. It went on for some time.
But it was better than watching volley ball.



Did you know that I have a fear of Canadian Geese?
I have to walk past an entire flock of them every time I walk home. It scares me so much...they look at me sooooo evilly! And they walk in this uber freaky way and there heads move in this weird beat... and they walk all slowly and you never know when they're gonna attack!!! D:

[gosh!! stupid evil geese]
Every time I walk home I spend at least 8 minutes standing still as the geese walk around me. And it takes me forever to find a path around them! But I usually don't, so I slowly dart past them. It's so terrifying.

Shudder. [this terrifying picture is from Wikipedia. it makes me scared.]

December

It's been December for sixteen days now...so this post is a bit late. But lots of fun stuff happens in December, so I'm gonna post all of them right here!!! [if you have any more holidays/events to add to the list, comment them!]

1) Christmas and Hanukkah and other holidays!!! Holidays are fun. :D

2) The Sopher Gopher's birthday!!! It's on Christmas Eve. December 24th. It kinda sucks though, because you wake up one day and it's your birthday, then you wake up the next day and it's Christmas. :/

3) December is "Change Your Facebook Profile Picture to your Favorite Pokemon Month". I changed my picture to Chikorita, my friend Josh changed his to Cyndaquil, and my friend Dimitri changed his to Totodile. I found a picture with all three pokemon in one scene. :D So now we each cropped our Pokemon out of the scene and those became our new profile pictures. We are such nerds. ^_^

4) Winter Break. We need a break.

5) It gets cold and less than 85 degrees each day! Which it has been. I love this somewhat cold weather.

Happy December. \(>w<)/

Nerd.

I am officially a nerd.
There have been disputes about whether I am a nerd or not, such as:

A) Sophie is not a nerd because she is not in geometry, where all the real nerds are.
B) Sophie is such a nerd because she hangs out with all the geo-nerds and smart people.
C) Sophie is not a nerd because she does not freak out about getting two answers wrong on her history test which would lower her grade by .3 percent.
D) Sophie is such a nerd because her glasses are always askew and crooked and never seem to stay in one place.
etc. etc.

So, I have decided that I AM a nerd.
I decided last night because I

• Wrote a 55 line poem on how I can't write poetry
• Wrote a two page metaphor comparing my mind to an ocean...for FUN
• Changed my computer cursor to a dinosaur that walks when you click something (this is more along the lines of a geek, which in my mind is a nerd+awesomeness)
• Have founded a confederation (with my friends Chelcee and Josh) that is against word counts....the Anti Word Count Confederation
• Use Facebook about 60-70 hours per week

And I think this qualifies me as a nerd. Especially numbers 1, 2, and 3.

The Shape of a Football

I ate a fruit cup today. I hated every second of it.

As soon as I opened it, the syrup burst out and flew across the entire table.... it was disgusting.

You know what's weird? Footballs are weird.

They are just sooooo oddly shaped and if you drop them they bounce everywhere. But not like a basketball where it just bounces up and down. They bounce any which way and you are prone to being slammed in the face with the pointy side of a football.

We had to play football-basketball today. I think that is the worst invention for a game ever. EVER. Footballs don't work well on a basketball court, first of all. If you drop a football on the court, it bounces all over and the opposing team usually catches it before you do. Also, footballs are not easy to throw up in the air and shoot.

I Can't Write Poetry.

I am poetically challenged.

I have to write a free-verse for Language Arts. I also had to write a ballad and an epic. Both of those were horrible. Since the free-verse is also free topic, I chose to write about how I can't write poetry. My poem is called: "I Can't Write Poetry"

It's very ironic explaining the fact that I can't write poetry through poetry. Very ironic.

And also: [this is irrelevant but] Audrey made an awesome post about me. It made me laugh. XD

I Despise of Fruit Cups

Fruit cups are gross.
I've been thinking this for a long long while now.
But I've been influenced by a horrible experience I had with fruit cups today.
So here is why I despise of fruit cups.

1. They come with horrible sticky sugary high fructose corn syrup. It's disgusting!! And it tastes horrible. I think it comes with more of that stuff than the actual fruit. >_< And whenver you open the fruit cup, the syrup comes spilling out no matter how careful you are! So I always have to drain it in the sink before I'm okay with eating it. It's just nasty.

2. The fruit is oddly colored. Yeh, it sounds weird, but the cherries are always bright pink!! Cherries are not naturally PINK!!! It creeps me out. So I never eat those.

3. The plastic lids are quite hard to peel off. I usually struggle in opening them [which may or may not be due to the fact that I have absolutely no upper body strength], so the syrup spills out anyway!


Fruit cups should be banned. Just because I think they should. Which is reasonable enough. ^_^
