So how about this weather?

Life is boring. I'll be honest with you, I don't blog about knitting or reading because you don't like to read about that, plus I don't have time to read or knit. But I do have time to watch Gilmore Girls, and currently I'm mad. They make us wait 4 seasons for Luke and Lorelai to get together, and they've already broken up. Cool, Luke get your act together. Maybe Lorelai can build him an ice skating rink and they'll love each other again. Also, I hope I'm never refered to as Rory again because she's a whore. I'm sorry Lorelai and Christopher, we'll have to call me something else or High School Rory or HSory for short.

I think the Amish in Reading Terminal are making doughnuts this weekend. Or maybe it was last weekend. You should check that out. In case you didn't know amish is code for tasty which is code for eat me. These doughnuts are better than Krispy Kremes any day of the week and everyone should make it a goal in their life to taste one of these doughnuts. Wow, if that was last weekend I might have to cry.

I took a swim test today for crew. Although I'm aquatically-challenged I still passed, but I wondered if they would really kick me off the crew if I failed. Then again if I failed, I would drown and most likely be afraid of large bodies of water for quite some time. Good thing that hasn't happened.

So Valentine's Day = rocking. Good things on Valentine's day: cake, homemade pop-up card, surprise flowers/candy, cookies, no homework, candy hearts, book by TAL lady, real pop-up card, yeah pretty good for a rainy Monday. I've strategically placed my candy hearts next to the computer and my chocolate on my desk. Ah yes, all candy, all the time. Worst part is the candy hearts are Necco. Although they are tarts, which makes them a little better. Do you chew or suck on your candy hearts? Well I suck on mine, and I had so many yesterday that my tounge actually hurt. Now that's skill.

While searching for a link I found out this weekend is the American Roots Festival. Well if I wanted vegetables I was in luck, but I don't and now I will have to cry. Hope you enjoy that, and not doughnuts!

Your Name .... on a graph!

So, I'm sure all of you have already been to the census website, looking up how popular your name is. Well, someone made it better by converting that data to a GRAPH! Charting the popularity of your name through time! It's awesome. Go check it out.

Also, not my imagination that every old lady on earth is named Helen. It was a top 10 name from the turn of the century through the 1930s. In fact, in that era, it even ranked in the high 600s as a BOY's name.

I'm growing up

and it's weirding me out. Things I've done recently that show signs of non-childhood:
1. Register for the SAT's. Why are the closest test-taking locations in Jersey? Unknown.
2. Plan college visits. 4 day weekend without crew = college-a-palooza
3. Tell someone that, "it will look good on my transcript."
4. The death of Dream Chick Jane aka the ultimate screenname. The screen name is gone, but the nickname will never die.

Countdown to Mardi Gras: 6 days
Next time it will snow: never, or not in the next 10 days.

Random Notes: Bright Eyes, digging that. Mr. Bright Eyes (sounds kind of like Blue Sky, eh?) played at The Vote for Change Tour, but I wasn't listening. Now he's giving away his song against W. for free on iTunes. Yes, yes keep on rocking. No, no don't stop rocking. Gilmore Girls is back, and not sucking like it was in the fall. Good work Gilmore Girls, you deserve a treat. SAT prep starts again this Saturday. SATs, why do you haunt my whole life? Kings of Leon are going on tour with u2. Awesome. The Strokes knew how good they were then they told me and now my subliminal messgaes to the Edge have been well received. I'd say that's it. I go to school, crew, shower, homework and sleep. I live an extremely exciting life.
