My Thirteen Cents

Barats and Bereta, and Formspring

Hello, people (person?), I have made a Formspring. I think it's pretty amusing that you can ask yourself a question. Like, really? Are you so friendless that you have nothing better to do than interview yourself? (Then again, I can't really talk since I'm wasting time online writing a blog that only, like, one person reads xD. [Which is fine by me. Although I wouldn't complain if more people read it.]) 

I think this will be a short post...I don't have much to say.

I am worried about a friend, and I hope she's reading this. Hopefully if she is, she'll know that it's her I'm talking about. She has done a few...irresponsible...things, and I'm just worried for her. Something also happened that she wasn't ready for, and I hope she has the strength to prevent anything like that from happening again. I myself am not strong enough to yell at her for what she did, because I don't want her to get angry at ME, but I wanted to yell at her because of how worried she made me. And I hope she doesn't do it again. :(

Aaaaanyway...here's a funny video from one of my favorite YouTube users, Barats & Bereta. 

Mall Today

I went to the mall today, and I went to Subway...there was this couple with their kid, and the dad said "Hey, Babe?" to his wife/girlfriend and automatically I looked...I have no idea why. It was so embarrassing. Thankfully I don't think anyone noticed, but it was still really embarrassing. xD

FaceBook Irritation, Day 3 of Project 365, and a Botox Death

New couples make FaceBook so annoying. Okay, so these "lovers" are in 8th grade and in the "honeymoon phase" of the relationship. You know how it goes.

"You hang up first."
"No, you hang up first!"
"No, you hang up first!"
"No, you hang up first!"

"Ohhh my god you are so CUTE!"
"You're cuter!"
"No, you're cuter!"
"My baby is the cutest."
"Awwwww!!!"

FaceBook has made this more annoying, awkward, and just embarrassing to look at.

 

 Notice he wrote "Ughh I miss Delaney!" at both 6:36 and 6:54. Just in case it wasn't clear at 5:14, 5:39, 5:58, and 6:24 the day before.

I mean, seriously?! It's so awkward and weird to read this crap! Which is why I am thankful for people who are like the first commenter: 

 
Speaking of FaceBook irritations, what's the deal with the new FaceBook?

It's weird. They should have improved things like how impersonal your profile is. It'd be nice to be able to have a background image and things like that.

 

On a morbid note, a seven-year old girl died in 2007 because of botox injections. Her name was Kristin Spears. She had been given the injections because she has cerebral palsy, and some doctors use it for muscle relaxation in cerebral palsy patients. She died of pneumonia and respiratory failure, allegedly a reaction to Botox, and now the mother is suing.

To cheer you up, here's my picture for today (Project 365.)

It's my kitty! <3

Project 365 and a Sleepover

I have started Project 365. Learned about it from my new favorite blog, Oh Snap. You take one picture every day for a full year, and it's supposed to help you improve your photography.

So, here's yesterday's picture:

 
And here is today's picture:

I also created a PhotoShop image with a stock photo. The idea is from the same blog, so I don't take any credit for the design. I just had fun making it.

I also went over to my friend's house. :D

She is so strange. 
    

Caskets and a Shout-Out

 

Costco sells caskets, which begs the question: Can I buy them in bulk?

I don't know about you guys, but don't you think it's annoying how the prices of caskets have just skyrocketed? Dunno, I think maybe the casket companies have decided to take advantage of the swine flu? Anyway. I'm just glad that Costco sells them. I'm sure they're like $400 for a pack of two, probably.

Too bad, they're EXPENSIVE! They range from about $1300 to $3000! Well, they can just...use the caskets themselves, I'm going to Ikea! 

(Apparently called Idea in Germany? The casket price is about $587)

It's even made with mahogany! Like, seriously? If you're gonna buy someone a casket, at least it's European! You can practically hear them bragging in Heaven (or not Heaven), "Yeah, I was buried in a Scandinavian casket. Mahogany." Better than, "Yeah, I was buried in a casket from Costco. 18-gauge steel."

Anyway, change of topic now. I'd like to give a shout-out to www.dustbury.comfor embedding one of my posts into one of her own; got me about 10 views in one day! *victory dance* Hey, for an only-a-week-old blog, that's pretty awesome! Also, a shout-out to my favorite blog Deutschland über Alles. It's very, very funny and I highly recommend it.

The New iPad

Yes, you've all heard about Apple's new iPad, starting a lot of jokes about the name (Mac's iPad...MaxiPad...). But a lot of people are also saying confusedly, "Isn't it just...a bigger iTouch?"  

Well, yes and no. 

You can do a lot of the same stuff on the iPad as you can with the iTouch, but you can't, for example, listen to music while checking your e-mail. According to that website, it doesn't have Flash either! (If you're not quite sure why that matters, it's what lets you play videos and stuff...yeah, I'm not really sure what it does either. But it's important.)

Honestly, even if it could do all that stuff that the website talks about, I wouldn't want it anyway. I think my iTouch is awesome. I don't need it bigger. What I would like, is that instead of a touch screen that only works with human skin touching it, I'd rather it be like a DS screen where you can use a stylus. That way it eliminates fingerprints and my screen isn't so high-maintenance. (Yes, I know that sounded lazy.) So, they should do that instead of creating some sucky iTouch spin-off.

Best. Answer. Ever.
