Emmett's brand new web comic is up! All you folks who always wanted to win something out of those crane games will want to be getting over to read it STAT!
As the provider of his new fan list, all I have to say is, I better be getting one of those sweet button sets in the mail.

Why don't I have Tivo?
Spring break began on Wednesday and what have I done since then? Eat, sleep, and watch tv. When I saw watch tv, I really mean Boy Meets World. I go out at night, and there's nothing good on tv in the middle of the day. Instead of watching last night's episode of the O.C., I've been breezing through Boy meets World. I only have two episodes left in the season. If I had Tivo I could watch Project Runway, The O.C., America's Next Top Model, the possibilities are endless. Don't you worry your pretty little heads, I won't be watching Passions for the next week. On Monday, at 5:30 in the morning I leave for Kentucky. We're going to build houses for a week, should be a good time.
Here's a little hypothetical for you to consider: If your fiancee and your two sisters were in a burning building, and all of their legs were broken, who would you rescue? Now, I'm not engaged, but I would go for the two for one deal. I mean come on, we're the funniest people I know.

Are you there, God? It's me, Crafty.
I have been searching for a crafty hobby. Computers are not always where it's at. Sadly, after a trip to AC Moore, I have discovered that it is my fate to either be a knitter or a fake flower arranger. There was a really huge stamp section that I thought was cool, but then I realized:
1) Stamps cost $3.50 a piece. I don't think I could get $3.50 of use out of a stamp that says "you're special."
2) If you buy the kit that just has all the letters separately, you can stamp
any message you want, but they all look like a ransom note, so what's the point?
3) I can't think of any picture stamp that I could stamp more than, say, 5 times without getting totally sick of it.
4) All their "example" crafts were handmade cards. I don't really use regular cards. Why might I possibly start making my own cards?
Scrapbooking was another possibility, but Steven might come home one day and find me with do-jiggies stuck all over me, so I think it might be too risky.
Kitten correctly ascertained my true crafty hobby -- furniture refinishing -- but it sadly requires a basement. Kitten, you can totally be my lifecoach anyway.

Crap, I totally just posted about a book.
There are three things I love in life:
1. Puppies
2. Boxes of love
3. Snow days
Snow days, much like exchange, free up my life. In case you were wondering, I had an early dismissal on thursday and monday and a snow day yesterday. Snow days give me time to do all sorts of fun things, such as:
Name my iPod. Last thursday, 2/24/05 Franklin died, RIP. He and his hard drive just weren't meant to be. I took him to have a good looking at. Steven checked him out, and told me there was no hope. I didn't take it well. Franklin was a good iPod, let's all take a moment to reflect on the good times we had together...okay so the rest of you didn't share many memories with Franklin, but I was pretty sure he was my soulmate, with his great music taste, and beefy 40 gigs. So Helen went to the apple store and replaced Franklin with Marty, the chubby iPod. Despite the fact that Marty is 40 gigs he seems to be bigger than all other 40 gig iPods because he can't quite squeeze into my dock. Oh well, Marty's a cool name, and chubby things rock, like me as a baby.
Start books. The secret life of bees - not that good. I tried, I really did. I felt an obligation to read it because my mom gave it to me for Christmas, but it was totally not funny not even close. I mean I got over my whole "I only read funny books" phase, but this was just boring and cheesy. So I moved on to another book I've been wanting to read, Breakfast of Champions. Kurt Vonnegurt, where do you come up with these things? I don't know. Is he dead?
Today, while walking home from Harriton I decided I'm going to invest in rain boots. Yeah, check out that link. I know, $40 for rain boots is a little steep. I'll probably just end up buying some at DSW or purchasing some with my christmas card. I think I dig the "tidal blue" although the dog print is very tempting. Okay so I could wear my rain boots when there's snow on the ground (definitely more waterproof than my sneaks) and I could wear them during the summer when I'm walking around town in the rain. That's never fun. Oh, I was walking in snow, that's what inspired me.

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.
