A Very Merry Unbirthday TO: YELLA!

Fancy This! My first legit post of the new year (yes I know how pathetic that is, seeing as it is...um...the SIXTEENTH of February!) And that date that my interior monologue just mentioned also just happens to be a very special day! It is the day that my best home-slice Alley was born! So go here and tell her happy birthday! OR ELSE. I will hunt yoyu down and make scary teenager faces at you! Just kidding. But seriously, who doesn't like birthday wishes! I don't have any fancy pictures or anything like she had, but I can list 15 things about her! (Since shes a big 1-5)



1. She has a dog named Jack (who is significantly less cool than MY dog Rio)

2. She doesn't like frosting.

3....or pineapple.

4. Shes lactose intolerant or whatever and has some MAJOR issues with sugar and dairy.

5. She eats it anyways, then talks about how it's going to kill her.

6. She is NOT a hater of Bear Grylls

7. She definatly could be defined as a hater of Les Stroud (Survivorman)

8. Her brother is friends with a bunch of idiots.

9. She prefers Xbox over Playstation

10. She has to look at both sides of chips before she eats them. (Or at least with Doritos)

11. Her definition of "dirty" (like rooms and such) is pretty sad.-A few things on the floor is NOT dirty-

12. She'll eat really random things to see what they're like.

13. She ate bird millet last time she was at my house. (see number 12)

14. She's a lefty but she opens her locker with her right hand.

15. She's obtained the honor (or torture...depends on the viewpoint) of BFF status! (But that's old news)



So HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOME SLICE! The next one's a big one, so don't blow all of your birthday energy now!

You know what you could do as a birthday present to her (and me, incase you missed mine on the 7th) Is tell 3 people that you're following to follow her (and me) ! Since we BOTH love our followers (plus shes all about people reading her writing.) Remember to go HERE and inital HERE and sign THERE and FOLLOW...and tell her happy birthday :)

Bon Anniversaire Yella! (Thats happy birthday en francais)

-Helcar <:)% (the symbol is like a party horn if you use your imagination...a LOT...)

These are a few of my favorite things...

Not much has really happened since the last post, but I had a couple basketball games (the first two, in fact) and also, I just so happened to inform Clara of the existance of the site. Obviously she took it well because she set up her own little secret baby (Sports, Guys and Chocolate is where it is) so its all good. She has yet to call me a crazy psychopath or anything like that-of course I'm guessing that she hasn't read all of the posts. That can make a difference.

As you may be able to see, I'm slowly but surely adding some Christmas-ness to the blog. You know what that means right?! A NEW VIDEO! This is a sweet song by Capital Lights. You should listen to it. Do it. I promise its not screamo (aHEM *cough*yella*cough*). :)



As far as basketball goes, we won the first game and lost the second game (the loss was like 43 to like 21 or something like that but that team TOTALLY was rediculous.). I have many comments about my team and the games that I could make, but I'm not going to burden y'all with them because it would just take more time. Over all, I guess my team is ok, some of the people are nice, and one person really gets on my nerves and the rest are popular people, but that's ok. We work pretty well together (although no one passes the ball to me even when I'm wide open unless the coach forces them to) and we won the first game with a score similar to that of the one that we lost. The coach is good too, and even though when you see him at a game and he's yelling like he's coaching in the Super Bowl it won't seem like it, he's pretty nice.

So the loss was yesterday and also yesterday, I hung out at Clara's house (I practically live over there, and I'm sure her parents are sick of it) and I feel kinda bad because her dad got mad at her( did I mention what happened to him?!) for not doing the 4 dishes in the sink. Shh, but I think his hand/being stuck at home might have shortened his temper. For those of you that don't know, her dad shot his hand and lost a finger and can't go back to work for a while. Thats the long story shot...I mean short.

All I did today was go Christmas shopping and go to church and sit in the car while my mom moved some stuff for my cousin Jen. Oh ya, and I was over at Clara's house AGAIN to drop off Victoria, who was gonna go and babysit with Clara's sister.

AH! Queen Veronica has unshunned me for no apparant reason. All the sudden she started talking to me in Geometry and now she half smiles at me in the hallways and she INVITED ME OVER TO HER HOUSE. Except I had this drill thing the next morning (a.k.a yesterday) so I said I couldn't. I've decided that I'm not gonna bite her head off or anything because thats kinda not worth the energy.

The drill thing? It was interesting. We, as in the people there, went to a class for like 3 min, then we acted like it was passing time and then we were supposed to go to our next class. That for me, was lunch. When Clara and I got almost into the lunchroom, the first gunshot was fired-oh my bad, if I didn't already tell you, this was a simulation to what would happen if there was a shooter in the building and the had police, fire and medical responders there too.- so we ran into a room and sat there in the dark on the cold floor for about an hour an a half or so, and then some guy came to one of the doors and was like "The drill is off, open the door" and a guy went to open it and everyone was likke "NO NO DON'T OPEN IT!" but then the principal came in the other door and was like "I think something is wrong" and then we opened the door and part of the cafeteria had flooded! So they called off the drill early.

Quite eventful no?
-Helcar :]

I'm Sorry, Please Don't Leave Me.

Well, I'm glad to see that some people are still following me, even though I'm kinda being the worst blogger EVER. But I've been busy oK?! Between cross country, school, and my new dog (WE GOT A NEW DOG!!) I barely have time to BREATHE! I wake up, go to school, go to cross country, go home, do homework, eat, do homeowork, watch tv for 20 mins and go to bed. Fun right? Oh well. So we have some matters to attend to in this session of blabbering. Lets get on with this. All people reading answer AYE if you wish to hear this. Actually, you know what? Just shut up because I can't hear you and I'm saying it anyways (please dont think I'm screaming shut up at you. I'm just saying forget about it cuz it doesn't make a difference.)

First and Foremost, I GOT AN AWARD!!! Thank you Frannie! I would like to thank my few (and much loved and appreciated ) followers for believing in me! Sadly, I got this award on the 2nd of September, so here's the deal:

Rules:

1) Thank the blogger who gave you the award: I DONT NEED TO THANK THEM! I"M SOOOOO AWESOME THAT I DESERVE IT! (Just kidding, thank you for the award :) )

2) Copy award and place it on my blog: are you looking at this?

3) Link to blog the nominated you: mhm mhm.

4) List 7 things about myself my fellow bloggers may not know: umm, do i HAVE to stay up for an extra half an hour to think of seven things?!

Unfortunatly, with me being EVER so technologically savvy, my award picture is at the top of my post. I'm sorry.

Ok here goes nothing.

1)I'm not sure WHY I'm running cross country, because I'm a sprinter. I run 100m hurdles and 100m dash. NOT 4000m.

2)For haloween (since I'm a total weirdo) I'm going to be an escaped experiment victim. That includes all sorts of fun special effects makeup. WOO!

3)I got in trouble for making fun of a kid in kindergarten.

4)When I got in trouble that time, it was the last time i ever got in trouble in school because my parents nearly KILLED me.

5)I am addicted to Bath and Body Works. That place is amazing.

6)When I'm not having a stroke of genius, I'm pathetically stupid. I'm not even like average smart. I'm just kinda braindead.

7) I use a lot of parenthesis when I'm blogging becuase I have a lot of thoughts going on, and if I added all the ideas for something into one sentence, then it would be a very long and uncomprehensible run-on.

Oh, and Um, I'm kinda supposed to pass this on instead of hogging it like a selfish weirdo, so here we go:

Alley-Zoinkers!

Sara- Waking Up in a Sleepy Town

Winna- Winna Life

Ebony-Sizzling Publications

UP for no REASON-Retrospective of a Random Guy

Phoebe- My Pink 'n' Black Montage

Diane-Contentedly Neurotic

Ok so there you go. On with the task at hand...

So that's one thing off the list. Secondly, I feel the need to inform you that I'm pretty sure that I'm not friends with Veronica. She freaked out (I think its because at the freshmen orientation-thats right. I'm a high schooler!- we didn't talk to her for like 5 sec so she walked away and now she acts like I'm not even there, and its kinda immiture if you ask me.) and now she's hanging out with different people (that last year she said she didn't like most of them) and she rolls her eyes and walks away when I talk to her. It doesn't really matter to me though because she was SUPER dramatic last year and i had to tiptoe across the ice to NOT make her mad. So whatever.

NEXT!
WE GOT A DOG! His name is Rio, he is a yellow lab, and he is ADORABLE. He's 2 1/2 because we adopted him and he has a puppy face. He's amazing.

And
Clara likes a different person (SHH!). THANK GOD. And I very muh approve of her new choice. He's pretty cute and he has a nice bod. Enough said.

Hm. I don't know what else to tell you! I might as well stop there, and I'll just make sure I keep up better with the blogging.

Its good to be back...
-Helcar :)

SwEeT!

Well, I haven't really posted since June, and since that time (ok, well it was mostly today, but whatever. It was still work) both mine and Alley's ( Zoinkers! ) blogs have been undergoing construction, and i must say that I'm pretty happy with how BOTH of them turned out. Now my blog has that lovely three column look ( it almost killed me to try and change the format, because,
a. I liked the little colored dots that were on there because they matched the colors and
b. to change the format you have to go and sort thought the HTML, and the writing (or typing) was small and there was a LOT of it. When I was following the instructions I wanted to throw my laptop down (which I wouldn't do because I was talking to Alley and if it broke I would probably never get a new one. lol).

And then I was trying to add these cute little turtles to my blog so that my (1 at the moment.) readers could play with them when they got sick of reading my babbling, but it didn't work! So I tried adding a fun tree frog (I was going for something green to match my current background, but the green didn't work...) so then I was like "You know what? Whatever. I just want some fun virtual animals for people to harass...Just kidding. So in that case, just find some animals, and put them on your blog." So then I turned to penguins. And guess what? ....yep! THEY DIDN'T WORK!!! ARGH! So no cute little animals for me, because Alley has fish on hers, but I don't want to take her fish. lol

and i have some more blog-tastic news! alley got a new follower! her follower's blog is over at Waking up in a sleepy town with Sara. so now the "follower war" has begun.


And (you know it's coming! ....) in other news!

Alleys obsession with romance is contagious, because I'm coming down with it too! The romance monster has reared it's rather gorgeous head and its now constantly trying to take down all of my other thoughts and fight to the front lines. Here's the way i described it.

The monster is beating down my other thoughts that are trying to be thunk (lol, is that a word when it's used on these terms?) , and while it's doing this, it's lifting weights, and getting stronger all the while.

And also, a fairly decent way to describe it is, you know how in video games (well, maybe you, don't but now you will) , there are normally
-grunt type things: The very minor guys that don't really require effort or health to take care of. In my mind, the grunts of the thought world are stuff like "oh this pillow is soft!" and "what am i gonna have for lunch later?"

-mini bosses: The major bad guys before the big tough boss. They are a little but of a challenge, but they aren't that bad. and normally when you face these, you get some sort of cool weapon or prize. So in this case, not only would the romance monster would gain a decent amount of strength, as well as the fear of the other thoughts. It would also gain a higher rank since it beat down the last thought. Mini boss thoughts include things like "oh that guy's hot!" and "i should check my blog"

-bosses: the big guys. the toughies. the playground bullies. these guys are the hardest to beat, and require the most skill and health. when you beat them, it's totally worth it, and you defiantly get something good from them. in this situation, the bosses that the monster beats down are thoughts like "i'm hungry" (ok, so that one may not seem major, but i'm always hungry, so for me it kinda is.) and "i wanna hang out with my friends". when the romance monster beats down a main thought, it gains the front and center spotlight, and completely engulfs my brain for a least a few minutes. normally longer than that. lol

so that should explain the monster and its ways at least sorta. ok?

OK. and also,

i need to throw a party or something because i am really bored and i wanna hang out with my friends.

i've been talking to alley a ton, and we have like 8 different emails going on, and those emails have emails inside of them basically, because here's how they are.

_______________________________________
topic #1

topic #2

topic #3,
_______________________________________

and they're almost never related topics. lol

and then we stay up until like 4:30am half the time talking on IM and stuff.

so we're "besties" (gag-thats a really dumb word.)


i was gonna do a MENTAL segment, but I'm bored and tired, so I'll do it later....

Midnight Blogging

so it seems like i always end up blogging at like one in the morning when my thoughts are all over the place and a week worth a tiredness is catching up to me. lots of stuff has happened sorta i guess.

but OMG!!!!! my (awesome) project citizen team WON! so our project board gets sent to Washington DC (but we don't, which is LLLLAAAMMMEEE). the day at the capital was fun, other than the fact that clara and veronica were acting like moms and i wanted to beat them with my shoe. and alley made it, so everyone was there! it was way cool and when it was announced that WE, the misfits won, we all freaked out! it was way coolio.

I'm not sure why, but lately, I've been waaayyy more hyper than i normally am. its like my brain is on crack (WHICH ITS NOT!). also, it seems like I'm a teensy weensy bit more outgoing than usual. maybe my friends drugged me....lol and i have a hundred million Disney songs stuck in my head, along with a million other things.

my friends are awesome. alley is awesome at piano and stuff. Melissa writes amazing songs which she doesn't give herself enough credit for. Clara is a really good skater (i went to her show. lol). Bethany even though she's a spaz is a pretty good friend i think. Anna is constantly smiling. Veronica is pretty understanding (until you make her mad, then there's no reasoning with her....). me? not so sure about me. I'm a spazzo nerd. lol

on project citizen day my friends (pretty much) all found out i have asthma. LOL they SPAZZED out. I'm pretty sure i told them but i guess not. and alley was like "i know all this stuff about you and i didn't know you have asthma?!" and everyone else was like "OMG! YOU have ASTHMA?! WHY DIDN"T YOU TELL ME?!" and then they were all asking me about having asthma....lol

i have mixed feelings on the veronica issue. she is a good friend when i hang out with her alone, but whenever she gets mad, its always that SHE is right and YOU were the one that did something wrong, PLUS, she always says we (my friends) all complain too much, when she complains about that and basically everything else. plus, when she is mad, and i try to make her UNmad, which is really starting to get on my nerves, because its making the friendship a lot more work than it should be, she wont do anything, she ignores EVERYONE, wanders off on her own, she will hesitantly talk to me, but when others come around i basically have to start over. also, whenever she gets mad at like 2 or more people in the group, she shuns like EVERYONE even though we TOTALLY don't deserve it. and this would suck but not nearly as bad if this happened every once in a while, but the thing is that this is like at least once a week. plus, normally when she's mad, it has something to do with your interaction with her (or the lack of for twenty seconds...) and she shuns you and acts like she doesn't want you even looking at her, then she gets madder when you try to ignore her and let her cool off.

ARGH. my throwing in track lately makes me want to drop a shot on my hand so i have an excuse to do the way i am. so here's the deal:i throw discus in track, and my best distance this year was like 51' 8" or something like that. but lately Ive been super off. my distance for the last meet was only 35' 6". that's a HUGE difference in my mind. i don't' know if its my form or what, but here's whats i think is messing me up
1.for some reason, it feels like I'm tugging on my shoulder socket after a few throws.
2. somewhere along the way, i got into the habit of pausing before i start my spin (between the arm swings and the spin), which makes me lose momentum
3. when i throw it, i can't get it to fly like a frisbee like i used to be able to once in a while. now it just flies end over end like a football kick.
4. lately no matter how i set my base, i can't get balanced then i almost fall over when I'm twisting.
5. holding the disc the "right way" puts a painful strain on my hand because of how my fingers are spread out.
also, i can't get my times right for my other events either. they're all about second and a half slower than they were and should be....ARGH!!! idk. maybe I'm just being too hard on myself, but in all reality, i don't think i am because it REALLY bugs me that all of my stuff is messed up like this....stupid crap...

alley was chewing the same piece of gum for a week. that's insane and its gotta take some mad skill to chew a little ball of rubber poison for a week. lmao

I'm not sure my kids book is going to be finished, but I'm gonna try, and hope that the kid doesn't hate it like she probably will...oh well *sigh*

i ran like four miles for track because we ran to dairy queen, and i DIDN"T die!!!

alleys mom has been talking to me on facebook a good deal...she was like "so alley says you don't think i like you. whats up with that?"

i hate it when people start to tell/ask me something then say never mind.

mIlk, not mElk.

and i know there's probably other stuff, but whatever....

too many things going on....
-helcar :B

an aha! moment

aha! i remembered some things from my brain when i was watching a movie today! the things i forgot to add to my brain jumble yesterday was...

anna is really annoying sometimes. she basically doesn't trust me at all i dont think, and whenever i wear something other than a t-shirt, i get a "wow! its just so..not you!" i continue to try and emphasize the fact to her that maybe she doesn't know me as well as she thinks she does! and who knows. maybe she does, and maybe its NOT me. but idk. i'm not sure i even know what ME is. which of course doesn't help because i generally make it hard to know me as it it...so maybe its not me. or maybe it seems like its not me but it really is...or maybe its the little flashes of me that i've been locking away and all the sudden thanks to my pushy friends they're pushing through more and more all the time! am i confusing you yet? because i think i confused myself on that little rant.... oh well. just because i wear something that is a different style or cut does it make it "not me"? its the same type of print and humor, just a different type of sleeve! again, oh well....whatever.

and ALSO....
wow. i realized that almost all of my main guy friends are older than me. thats kinda sad i think. my main guy friends (or guys friends that i was friends with at some point) are

A. Mark (9th grader)
B. Willlie (9th grader)
C. Matt (Should be a 9th grader, but he's not the brightest bulb on the tree...)
D. Kyle (8th grader)

so i guess thats not TOO bad. they're only like a year older than me, but still...

i wonder how many people ACTUALLY know me...
~helcar >.<

oh no. oh no oh no oh no.

OMFG tomorrow when i get to school, someone is going to be SLAUGHTERED. i was just informed (aka i found my cell phone) that one of my friends E-MAILED MARK. i am SO annoyed right now that i have a headache. my guess is anna or bethany. they are the pushers and i might just have an stroke.

they better hope they aviod me tomorrow.
> helcar >:@

random brain stuff.

hmmm. is it even possible to have so many thoughts going through your head at once? and the thoughts are literally RUNNING through my head. Picture letters with arms and legs running through a an empty field and- wait....why am i explaining this? i'm not THAT crazy....most of the time....hehe. But here's an idea of what is going through my head right now.....
WARNING: MAY CHANGE TOPIC MID THOUGHT.....

Hmm i'm glad its the weekend-i wish i could go to the movies right now-i'm so bored-why won't anna stop calling me mrs latterell?-why can't mr latterell just leave me alone!?!?-hm what can i eat?-i'm starving!-what's for dinner?-i wonder what my friends (specifically alley) were thinking during some parts of the talent show?-wow i can be really hard to understand sometimes-why is fr-i should text sunshine and see what he's up to...-oh no! the goose is going to die!

I'll stop there so your heads don't explode from my insanity.....let me tell you about the people i hang out with. they're interesting people :)

Alley-Super cool horror movie fan, manners police and a better version of me! hmmm....kinda like rachel 2.0 except nicer. lol.

Melissa-Really nice and eviler (i might make up some words here and there) than she lets on >:P

Anna- Super short chick that sometimes makes me want to kill her because she bugs me a lot. She's cool too though.

BBethany- My insanely boy-crazy friend. As with my other friends though, i love her to death (not in a weird way...like sister way)

Clara- Skater, runner and future all olympic gold medal superstar but she's kinda a spaz sometimes (which one of us isn't really?).

Veronica-Dancer who thinks she's worse than she is. Unfortunatly its very easy to make her mad so i constantly have to fix things....

Rachael-My cousin, twin (not literally)and partner in crime.

Mark- The dude i like. i met him at a conference thingy. he's a tree-hugger, a vegitarian and in his words, a "hottie" lol.

So today i was eating lunch and i put an orange in my mouth (the whole thing because oranges make my hands all sticky so i'm not going to rip them in half with my hands while i'm sitting at the table) and the manner police freaked out at my manners issue like she does every day...oh well :P I think i'm going to stop there.

Later...
~helcar >:D
