Christmas Binging

What am I binging on, you ask? Well, nothing really... cheesy christmas ornaments, crappy christmas music that follows you everywhere... Come to think of it, I'm not totally a big fan of the holidays. I mean, there's all this buildup for like, a month, all for this one day when you wake up at six in the morning, open presents, then not talk to your parental units for the rest of the day because you've holed yourself up in your room with all of your shiny new toys. Then, after that, you start to look tacky because you don't want to go up on the roof and take down those twinkle lights and yank the plastic santa out of your frozen-solid yard. But there is an up-side to all this. What is it? A CHRISTMAS STORY!!! (for all of you martians out there, A Chrismas Story is a movie.) Man, come December first, I bust that movie out and it's pretty much the only movie I watch until... oh, January. Well, I alternate between that and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation... That's another good christmas movie. For you crazies that haven't seen either A Christmas Story or National Lampoon's Chritmas Vacation, A., they're only the most hilarious christmas movies ever made in the history of man, and B., Where have you been for your entire life?! So, I suppose I am binging on A Christmas Story and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. And candycanes... I've never had a yule log... Just thought I'd mention that.

Is 'Yall' Really Such a Wierd Thing to Say?

Before you guys ask, no, I do NOT have a Tenessee twang, (No offense intended to all those Tenesseeans out there. I love yall!) but I moved to Tenessee when I was like, nine, so I picked up the word there. Anyways, so I moved to Seattle, Washington about a year ago. (God, it really HAS been almost a year!!) So my new friends have recently pointed out to me that I say 'yall'. Honestly, I've been saying it for so long that I didn't even realize... But now every time I say something like, "Hey yall," or "I'm going to sit over here with yall because they're talking about-(ANYWAYS!! besides the point what they were talking about.)." they point it out. It doesn't make me mad, if yall are thinking that it does, because A., It might be payback for pointing out my friend saying PWNED all the time, and B., I know they're just joking. But is it really that wierd?? Jeez, you'd think nobody in Seattle has ever heard the word 'Yall' before...

My iPod Is Now Officially Beast.

okay, so you people probably wouldn't think so, but I do. If you haven't heard, my computer crashed (don't ask) and my MOM, not me, got a new computer. So my stepdad got her an iPod Shuffle (seriously, yall, what is the point of those things?? It's like Apple guillotined an iPod Nano in half and said "hey, this is a pretty good idea. Let's sell it and see how many people will accidentally put it through the washer because they forgot to unclip it from their pants!!!" [again, don't ask]) But anyways, so she uploaded iTunes on her computer, and lo and behold, her Shuffle wouldn't sinc with it. So I was complaining that since I had gotten my iPod a year ago and only uploaded CDs onto it once, all my music officially sucked. (In case you haven't noticed, I like delcaring things Official.) So my mom suggested that I try my Nano on her computer and IT WORKED!!!! So, now, the reason yall wouldn't think my iPod is as beast as I say it is is because I really like arabic music... yes, it is a little wierd, but my mom teaches arabic dancing classes, and I've been dancing since I was like nine, and what better music to dance arabic-style to but arabic music?? So I have been dancing around the house for the past three days like a mad person, but anyways. Now you know why my iPod is officially beast.
