Tonight, my newsfeed on Facebook was all about one thing: watching the Jersey Shore. I'm sure about 96% of my Facebook friends tuned in to watch the Umpa Lumpa tanned, self proclaimed "Guidos and Guidette's" make fools of themselves on national television. Oh yeah, I watched a few episodes during the first season, but I really don't have any desire to watch this new season. Instead, I opted tonight to watch the first disc of Friends season one. I went to the library today and wouldn't yahh know? They had almost every season! I'm watching it from start to finish. I use to LOVE Friends when it was still airing. It was from this show I learned about relationships and what sex really was. Not too hard to put two and two together. Besides my favorite couple is Ross and Rachel. I like seeing how it all started and how it led to them being parents to the adorable Emma and finally realizing how they truly feel about each other! I mean, Chandler and Monica are okay but they were nothing compared to the rollar coaster romance that defined Ross and Rach. . .
Oh, and if you're wondering (or maybe not if you were one of the 96% who watched the show tonight) the title of this post is apparently the most quotable line from Jersey Shore ~ it was on a sign in the background or something. More than one person put that as their status so I thought it'd seem fitting to have it be the title! xoxoxo

Twilight Teams
I've always been Team Edward. But for the movies? Team Jacob ~ especially when he's shirtless..
Dreams
Two nights in a row I've had dreams that felt insanely real, but you know, weren't. One dream had a dream within a dream... (Inception influence?) where I was engaged to Prince Harry. When that ended and I was in the other dream, I was really sad to find that it wasn't real. Dream me was like, that didn't happen?! But at least in the next dream there was a certain guy...
I love when the most random people show up. It's like, hey you're in my dream? Cool beans. Or when two people you know aren't too crazy about each other end up in a dream situation with you, and just seeing them getting along makes you aware you're dreaming. That was my dream last night. This one girl I'm friends with was in my dream, but so was this guy she can't stand, and we were all in his car driving to the movies. In real life, this would never happen. I am a huuge believer that dreams can tell you things, whether it be about the future or what's going on in your own life at the moment. One of the best dreams I had this summer involved my Papa calling me on the phone, and I had a long conversation with him, filling him in on my life since he passed away. Then I got to see him and hug him, and that felt so real. I think people who have moved on from this Earth can visit you in your dreams. I know in my soul I was really talking to my Papa and that I didn;t just make it up.
Another dream I've had this summer was pretty cool. I was a Power Ranger! That show was a favorite of mine way back when. But then this guy (who wasn in that dream after the Prince Harry one) showed up! I'm not really sure why he keeps appearing randomly. I mean I know who he is in real life, and we've talked a few times, but we're not friends. Maybe that'll change though this upcoming school year? Who knows... anything can happen, even in reality.

High School Dating
It is, as I write this, past three am. All nighters. Gotta love them. I logged off a few hours ago intending to go to sleep, but as I read in bed, eating Cheez-Its and sipping on water, I realized I wasn't sleepy. At all. There is nothing worse, dear known readers, than trying to fall asleep and knowing you're just going to end up in bed wide awake. Usually I'll listen to my iPod until the music lures me into a sleepy state. But tonight I wasn't really feeling that tried and true method.
So I got up and turned on my computer. To do what, I can't say for sure since I didn't really know. I was just following a whim. First thing I did was log into Facebook, since yah know, I'm a teen and that website pretty much rules my social life. On my newsfeed were a bunch of obviously drunken status updates, a ton of people who liked a bunch of crap that clogs up my newsfeed every single freakin' day, and ah! A survey. Late night surveys cure boredom ~ temporarily, at least ~ and so I went about filling it out.
The first question made me laugh. "Who do you have feelings for these days?"
As if I would ever answer that. I barely say who I like(d) to people I know (unless they can guess correctly and it's way too obvious to deny). So to say that on Facebook?. Ha ha. I don't even really know the answer anymore. I mean like a month ago maybe I could have said for sure who I liked, but now? A lot can change in a few weeks. You get tired of being stringed along. Of not knowing what a person's deal is. Sometimes all you need is a good flirt session with a total hottie you've only just met. Plus, seeing how summer is all around me, anything can happen. I feel like if something is to change, like my Facebook relationship status, for example, it won't take place until school starts back up. And you know what? That's perfectly okay with me.
But sadly, seeing how I'm a senior now, the dating pool has shrunk by 98%. I have a class with a little over 330 people. And there's only 3 guys who come to mind that I would even consider dating. I mentioned this on my other blog, but I didn't transfer that post to this one. Anyways what I'm getting at is that I've been told everything from "you have high standards" to "you're afraid to admit your feelings." Uh huh. All those kind of statements have been given to me by guys I've turned down or who I'm friends with, that um, told me they liked me at one point or another.
Don't you just love the high school dating scene?
And what if the guy I like(d) finally tries to make a move that makes it obvious how he feels, like ohh I don't know, ASKING ME OUT ON A REAL DATE, but I've decided I'm over him and some other guy enters the picture? Coulda, woulda, shoulda. He'd miss out on me, and I dare say I'm a fabulous catch. That's not being vain or cocky, by the way. That's just having confidence and knowing I deserve someone who wouldn't dream of letting me slip away. Oh sure, a guy can be all flirty and whatever, but if he only talks the talk and can't walk, he ain't going anywhere.
Instead he'll be stuck watching me with some other guy, that could have been him had he not decided to assume I'd wait for him or something silly like that. I mean, hellloooooo. I'm 17 and have better things to do than hope some guy is going to text me or im me or call.That's just a waste of my time. Advice to any guys reading this: if you like a girl and can picture yourself with her, and you're pretty sure she likes you back... don't wait to make a move. If you're like, ohh she'll wait for me, then you're in for a surprise. She isn't going to wait. Maybe for a little while, but soon enough she'll be over the bullsh*t and move on to a guy who knows what he wants; mainly, her. And if you do take my advice and end up with her ~ you better treat her like a queen. Or else you'll just look like a fool, and no one will be laughing.

(insert clever title here)
I adore this. It's well known, and there's different versions of it. But in case for some insane reason you have yet to read this little gem of genius, I'm sharing it here with you, dear unknown readers...
The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington engineering mid-term.
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or Endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote Proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law, (gas cools off when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:...
"First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let us look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand as souls are added. This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa Banyan during my Freshman year, "...that it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you.", and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then, #2 cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze."
This student received the only A.

Movie of the Week
I think I've seen one of the year's, no, decade's, best movies. Wednesday night I went with friends to go see Inception. We had heard about it for months, and seen the trailer played on different channels for a few weeks. All we knew was that it had the ever sexy Leonardo DiCaprio as the lead, with the really cute guy from 500 Days of Summer (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and the girl from Juno (Ellen Page) as sidekicks dealing with dreams. From the moment the movie began, showing Leo's character at a beach, face down in the water, to the the cliffhanger ending, Inception managed to keep my full attention. The movie had so many layers to it, and just the mere idea of going into someone else's dream world is fascinating.
I fully recommend this movie to sci-fi fans and moviegoers who like mystery, action, suspense, and watching a movie to help get your mind off reality, even if it's just for a few hours. I don't think I could give this movie justice by attempting to explain how it goes, because not only would that ruin the twists and turns that unfold as the movie plays, but it's just baffling to hear about it. You need to watch it to really get it. I walked out of Boston's AMC Loews wanting to rewatch it, because I felt the whole experience ended without me being able to really wrap my head around the concept. Not that it was confusing to watch, but just that Inception is just so... so... ahh I can't find the right word.... so......... forget the word.
Fill in that blank yourself, once you see it. I have nothing bad to say about the movie, except maybe the cliffhanger ending, but even that was just so awesome. The audience gasped. I haven't witnessed a reaction like that since I saw Paranormal Activity last year, and trust me, Inception was 1000% better.
A brief message...
Heyo, unknown readers of mine.
I'm not sure if you've noticed this or not, but my blog is different. I changed things around. And old postings are no longer available to read. This is because I had to make an entirely new blog, from scratch. The reason being... well, I can't exactly say. But never fear! Nothing else is going to change, except the songs on my playlist and the new postings I'll be adding as the summer goes on. I took a little break from blogging for personal reasons, but I'm back and feeling more fabulous than everrr before! xoxoxo :)
