I'm online.

Take that, school. Your blocklist didn't hold up for long.

Have an old car you don't want?

Donate it here!
I'll make good use of it. I promise.

My blog just got blocked by the school.

I'm just glad I can still write.

On another note, Dumb Girl #2 was astonished in English this morning when she learned Obama wasn't technically running as a presidential candidate, because he is already president.

Spinning is my lifeline.

1 hour.

The Death of Music.

When these talentless kids are allowed to cover some of the best songs ever (in my opinion), you know the music apocalypse is upon us.

Broken CD shards are raining from the sky, burning sheet music provides the only light, and the sun is obscured by THIS face- the face they all worship...

The only way to salvation... blocking your ears from the horrible wails of Kidz Bop singers and the screaming masses... Only music will save you.

End drama.

But seriously, these are some of the songs they've covered.
  • Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day
  • The Only Exception by Paramore
  • Can't Buy Me Love, Let It Be and other once-beautiful songs from the Beatles
  • Bring Me to Life and My Immortal by Evanescence (Don't listen to this. DON'T.)
  • How to Save A Life and Over My Head by The Fray
  • Move Along by All-American Rejects
  • Speed of Sound by Coldplay
  • In The End by Linkin Park (I refuse to listen.)

On a related note, isn't it ironic that reading standardized tests contain some of the worst writing examples I've ever read?

True conversation from history class yesterday:

Dumb girl #1: "Wasn't Christopher Columbus Spanish?"

Teacher: "No! He was Italian."

Dumb girl #1: "But he sailed for Spain?"

Teacher: "Yes, but he was Italian."

Dumb girl #2: "Wait, I don't get it..."

Dumb girl #1: "So why did he sail for Spain?"

*class groans*

Teacher: "Because they hired him to?"

Me: "Because they paid him to!"

Dumb girls #1 and #2: "But doesn't that make him, like, Spanish?"

Class: *collectively* "NO!"

Guy in the corner: "Oh my God..."

Guy behind me: *slams head on desk*

Teacher: "NO! That's like saying if you work for a European company, you're European."

Dumb girl #1: "But, you are..."

Me: *exchanges look with friend in next seat over and pantomimes shooting self through head*

Dumb girl #1: "...wait..."

Class: *speechless*
