Flash Mob!

Ever since I watched the Modern Family episode were Mitchell is part of a flash mob, I've wanted to do one. However, I never thought I would actually do one. Today, I was part of a flash mob!! It was a Zumba routine to Hey Baby (Drop It To The Floor) by Pitbull. I've been looking forward to this ever since the day my mom texted me in the middle of class saying our Zumba teacher was doing a flash mob. We performed at the Farmers Market and there were TONS of people! It was so much fun!!

Booty Ballet!

A couple of weeks ago I read an article on the top 5 fitness trends of 2011. The first was Boot Camp. Why? I do not know. Personally, I choose to stay far FAR away from anything that has a boot camp kinda feel. Second, were some weight things. I get enough weight training from carrying around my textbooks! Third was...uhh..lets just skip that. Fourth was Zumba (pretty sure they confused that and boot camp). And fifth was yoga booty ballet!!!
I really want to try this! Its a mix of yoga, ballet and dance (is ballet not a dance??). I took ballet when I was younger and last year. I was never good at it but it was definitely a lot of fun. I think that plus yoga would be pretty darn amazing!
I don't get this random 'booty' thrown in between 'yoga' and 'ballet'. Obviously it works your booty, but it works other muscles too! Why not call it Yoga Abs Ballet? Or Yoga -insert muscle name here- Ballet? I guess booty ballet is the most fun to say, "Hey I'm on my way to Booty Ballet!"

Blueberry Cobbler!!!

Tonight, Im attempting to make a blueberry cobbler in a toaster over due to the fact OUR KITCHEN IS NON EXSITANT [THANKS A BUNCH HOME DEPOT]. Anyways, Ive got to find the simplest recipe out there because most kitchen items are lost in boxes of stuff :(

Hope this turns out well!!! I <3 blueberry cobbler!

Blog 13: Jan 13: Baby loves to Dance in the Dark!

We got leotards for dance today!!! Yay!!! Spencer and I are so in ove with them!! We went and put them on and danced to Bad Romance and Telephone. Spencer, being Spencer, left her phone in the gym where there was an elective fair going on so our friend came to bring it to her. She opens up the door and sees us in lovely black leotards and yells YOU GUYS DONT HAVE PANTS! Its nine oclock and I still have my leotard on. Spencer probably does too. Except now we have pants over our leotards...

Blog 12: Jan 12: Spencer is Gaga?? What??

Spencer has come up with the conclusion that she is Lady Gaga. I asked her where my backstage passes and concert tickets were *cough cough* still waiting. Anyways we had a sub in English and once we finished our grammar work we played hangman. It ended up being a whole conversation.
I dont remember the exact convo but I know it was something along the lines of Lady gaga (duh) and the purrple teacup!

Blog 11: Jan. 11: Boys in My house

Miss Music Teacher came to my class today to talk about some thing (specific right?) where some kids from the thing would need a place to stay overnight. Theyre hs students who go on this music tour thingy.Miss Music Teacher comes over to me and asks me "Melissa., would you like some boys to come stay at your house with you? ;D" I sat there staring at her with a mixture of "Did you just ask me to keep some boys overnight?" and "uhhhh no." on my face. Why would she ask me about boys? Specifically boys, not students boys. There was something funky bout that.. I dont want some random guys sleeping in my living room thank you very much. Eventually after what seemed like forever of us staring silently at one another she asked one of my best friends the same thing.

Blog 10: January 10: Awkward eye contact and spitting fish

So today we had a fieldtrip. It was rather windy which didnt please me, but it wasnt a boring, horrible fieldtrip. First, we went to this place. There were two people who were going to be our guides. We were all standing around waiting when the guides came out and started talking to our teachers. I, am a people watcher. I watch people from a distance and kind of fail at social interaction with strangers :) So I looked up to inspect our guides and of course I made awkward eye contact with one of the guides. I quickly looked away for ohhh thirty seconds. Then I looked up again and what happens? Thats right, awkward eye contact. And of course she was the guide for my group. Then were walking into some room and Spencer and I are talking. We turn around to the voice of our teacher saying something to us. We realized hed been walking two feet behind us and the first thing that came to my mind was STALKER. So I told him he was like a stalker. Miss Guide Lady was right there. And heard it all. More awkwardness on my part :)
Next stop, aquarium. Spencer got to see her cuttlefish, which are not cute. I got to see sea turtles, my relatives! Were from the family Slow. We also saw some sunfish which I now love! one of the sunfish kept spitting at a girl, it was adorale:))

What to do, what to do. Sleep? That sounds good. It is eleven after. And joy! School tomorrow. But it is a fieldtrip. But itll be cold. I dont like cold. Im tired but not sleepy. My brain is losing function. Time. To. Go.

Why No Internet Is Bad:

By Melissa

While we didn’t have internet (we still don’t have it) I realized how much I depend on the internet. We rely on it for so many things from Facebook to research. I absolutely love it. Today for some reason was particularly bad. I felt like I’d explode if I didn’t get on the internet. So far, I haven’t been on today. This is what happens when I don’t have internet:

·        I get bored

·        I get fidgety

·        I try to read and only get through 3 pages

·        I binge eat, a whole box of Mike n Ikes, chocolate ice cream (which I don’t even like), chocolate (ewwwww), and pistachios

·        I walk around the dining table because Im not sure what to do

·        I fall when I try opening doors

·        I count my ballet slippers (not that I needed to, there are only four)

·        I listen to Lady Gaga and ask her to fix my internet

·        I walk around in little circles to occupy myself but just end up dizzy

And now, because there is still no internet, I will go and eat more and then spin in circles.

Blog 7: Baby Monkey!

Still no dang internet. Its bugging the crap out of me. I need my daily dose of internet! Its my non-ice addiction! I need it, im so bored without it!! I should probably read 1984 instead of clicking the internet explorer icon every two minutes…

I don’t enjoy school on Fridays, they always seem so long. But something interesting did happen in every class:

• First class: I learned what Pitbull is saying for the like last 30 seconds of The Anthem and what it meant. ;)
• Second class: My hands died.
• Third class: My legs forgot how to stop moving.
• Fourth class: Baby Monkey!

If I had internet right now, I’d go look up baby monkey riding on a pig. That song is stuck in my head thanks to my English teacher! Today in class, he walks by my table and sings “Baby monkey!” Spencer and I turn and stare at each other before we started giggling. At the end of class he so kindly pulled out his iphone and played the video for us. He also showed the class his sock. It was Quicksilver and hugs your foot ‘right where you foot needs to be hugged’. Spencer should get socks like that because she likes foot hugs!

Like I already said, my hands ‘died’ in my second class. That particular class is in the music building which is always freezing. To me, it feels between 20 and 30 degrees. Its horrible and my hands hate it. I realized my pinky bent rather far back when its on the bow (for violin) so I had to point out my abnormality to my friend. After I put my bow down to find my popcorn I realized my hand was…well not alive looking. The fingers were purple and my palm was pale and white. That’s not normal. For the rest of the day my friends pointed out that my hands looked dead. Even after using Spencers warm packs, they still didn’t look alive!! My hands did not have a good day.

Should I be bothering the bug bite on my arm? Its really itchy and I don’t want it. It should leave so Im poking it, scratching it, hitting it with a Japanese dictionary and staring at it threateningly. But its still here!!

Bad ROMANCE

Im sitting here listening to bad romance and thinking that its just such a wonderful song!!!! i cannot get over it!!!! its just a pot of amazing!!!!




just thought id share my random burst of love for the lovely song ;)

Blog #3: Skiing

For New Years, my family went skiing! Personally, I wasnt excited at all about going but after getting on my skis I had fun. This was my second time skiing and my first time did not go well at all. The first time I went skiing, I couldnt walk at all in those ski shoes, then I couldnt get the skis on and I couldnt get to the top of the slope once I did. As if that wasnt bad enough, I could not stop. I would force myself to fall over so I wouldnt crash. I'd throw my poles in the air and fall sideways and scream to my dad to help me get up. I had a miserable time and swore I'd never go again. And I wouldnt have if I wasnt forced to by my parents. This time we went I didnt fall once! Although, I only went down the bunny slope...
The second day of skiing, aka New Years day, it started snowing while we were skiing! I skiied down the hill with my tongue hanging out of my mouth trying to catch some snow. Unfortunately, I didnt get any in my mouth and my face was hurt by billions of little snow drops falling from the sky while I  was skiing down a hill rather fast.
My sister is such a strange little creature! We're skiing down the hill together with her a few feet in front of me and all of a sudden it looks like shes having a seizure. We get down to the line for the ski left and I asked her what the heck she was doing. She gave me one word: Zumba. I should have guessed. She does Zumba everywhere, Target, grocery stores, in her bed and now the slopes. The whole way up on the ski lift she tried to convince me to do it with her. I said sure as long as she sang really loud. I didnt think shed do it but, she did. I couldnt believe my sister was going down the hill singing Zumba songs and Zumba-ing. Plenty of people stared but it was rather entertaining.

Blog #2: In n Out ruined my day.

Ive been a vegeterian for the past 4 years. I love In n Out because they actually have a vegeterian option and its yummy!! So today we went to In n Out on our drive back from the snow and I ordered my usual, a girlled cheese w/grlled onions. When our food gets done theres this one burger that stands out, one piled with a bunch of gooey cheese. In that burger theres no visible meat at all, therefore its mine. I pick it up and find pickles in it, yuck. Oh well, not a big deal, Ill just pick them out I thought. Once I pick out all of the pickles I begin to eat. After my third or fourth bite, I looked down at my food and what do I see? A pink, brown, nasty looking thing staring back at me!!! I stopped chewing, got a disgusted look on my face and calmly said theres meat in my food. My mom comes over and takes it from my hands while I'm spitting everything out into my napkin, pulling a piece of meat from my teeth and scraping my tongue. Then, I started crying. I hate meat and I feel terrible for the poor little animals who have to die so we can eat them. Also, it wasnt just any meat, it was beef. Cows are sacred animals to Hindus and my grandma always tell me not to eat beef due to this. And I dont. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
