Shove It Down My Throat

Its so annoying when people advertise their beliefs on their cars. And they get all offended when it gets vandalized. Well heres what I have to say to that: You deserve it! If you have the nerve to flamboyantly flag your beliefs around on your car, then someone is allowed to be just as flamboyant and vandalize it. I find it so annoying. Its like... Its funny how you think that my opinion can and will change just because your little bumper sticker tells me what to believe. Yuck. You people, just.... go away! Regarding the picture, Im NOT pro life. Don't ask why. Don't diss. Just let it be. K? K This picture really makes me laugh. Because I'm a Catholic. And I'm not pro choice. Its just another Catholic acting like a know-it-all and in-your-face like they tend to be. hm.

Wise Little Caterpillar

Google Search: Alice In Wonderland Who Are You. I wanted more emphasis on

the "Who Are You" but hey, you get what you get and you don't throw a fit.

Alice In Wonderland directed by Tim Burton is one of my favorite films. Here's a quote:

 "I said you were not hardly alice," he corrected her. "But you're much more her now. In fact, you're Almost Alice" -Caterpillar

I love the way that he judges character! It just proves how wise he is. If only more people could think as he does. Instead of identifying Alice by her name or what she looks like, he identifies her through her personality traits. Instead of thinking *hmm blue eyes, blonde hair, fair skin, blue dress. Must be Alice Kingsley as before* NO! he thinks *hmm non courageous girl, doubtful, not very child-like, must not be the wonderous, adventurous and brave girl i knew before. Therefore, it isnt Alice.* How brilliant of Lewis Carol for thinking like that. I intend to read Through The Looking Glass eventually. Its on my list of things to do before I die! Maybe after I have a family and have nothing to do. Because its the beginning of summer. I have to be out and about! I'm half way done with high school!

Children Are Not Disposable

This post is for the kids whose parents don't treat them like they should.

Inspiration: I get home from the movies with some guys. I'm in a good mood. I go  "Hi Mom! What are you watching?!" She says, "What does it look like? A movie. Go away."

Um RUDE??! So if you are the child in situation, I feel your pain. I don't get why children are interacted with only when needed and otherwise disregarded.

If you're the parent in this situation or any parent reading this, I advise you to go out and tell your kid that you care. Or just hug your kid and ask how theyre day was and offer to watch TV together. Because sometimes kids don't want to be furniture. Its degrading. Sometimes people really need to think about how they're acting to a child. For instance, when i was about 8 I went on a cruise and this guy told me he was vegetarian. So he gets all up in my face and talks in this baby voice and VERY SLOWLY goes "Im a veg-i-tar-ian. That means i dont eat meat because it makes my heart all sick!" In my head I just thought "what the heck man, go away." Or the worst: snotty old people who think its necessary to be nasty to teens. Message of the day: Think about how you interact with those younger than you. Because most might be brighter than you are anyways.

Internal Conflict

Google Search: Cat Fight

Me: Come on Chelsey.... You have an 89%. You need to do well to get an A.
Self: Maybe there will be cheap cars on Craigslist

         SEARCH: Infiniti ...... um was it Infiniti M35 sedans that i liked?

Self: Get back to studying! Stop looking for pretty cars!! 

Betcha Cant Do This!

I used to be the shyest girl you will ever meet. I have no idea what happened but starting Sophomore year, that all changed. Think about how you want to be remembered when you die. Do you know? For me, I want to be remembered as someone that branched out and was nice to everyone and that was interested in people for at least a little while. So on the bus, everytime I sit with a new person, I make conversations with them even if I don't know them. This one particular time really touched me.


Last Tuesday, I sat with this guy named Devon. I had a class with him 2 years ago so I knew him but its not like I knew him. I see him on the bus all the time staring out the window, listening to his ipod, and not talking to ANYONE. So, I had to sit with him on the bus and I casually said "so don't you ride bikes with Derek?" Thinking I would get a simple little response, he tells me all about his adventures mountain biking, how his mom cant have gluten, his possible career choices, restaurants he's been to, his of bread and salsa, and stuff we have in common. No, he was not rambling, it was a normal, wonderful conversation. Now he's invited me to a party. I never would have thought that this guy would be so cool. Its amazing how quiet people can have a such a great conversation. 


CHALLENGE: I challenge you to go out and talk to a random stranger or someone that you dont normally talk to. Weather it be a "hi! how are you? Great, bye!" or something more in depth like a "so I hear you like ____, would I like it?" Think of how many friends you can meet. Think of how many days you can make.

AP Death

So the AP American History test is tomorrow. I'm scared to death. I learn by doing, so talking it out and writing it down myself helps a lot. Tactile Learners Unite! But no one wants to hear an hour long rant about American History!! I'm torn between thinking "okay whatever you havent learned yet, you arent going to learn in one night so just give up and rest." But on the other hand, I'm thinking "get off your lazy ass, you've only studied the war of  1812!" I know my early stuff very well. But thats like hardly on the test! I know my stuff. But then I take practice tests.

Example: "blah blah Mayflower Compact?" Me: *hm okay thats the first idea of a self government by the pilgrims!* Answer choices: a) b) c) d) ... all not relating to my little definition! ugh im screwed.

Here comes my inner over achiever. Imagine how awful itll be going to college and signing up for american history cuz you werent good enough to pass it in high school. Cost of tuition minus $90. Oh dear....

What Have We Come To?

Google Search: Ignorant American

*WARNING: THIS IS A "GIVING MY 2 CENTS KIND OF POST*


Lets talk Osama bin Laden. That seems to be a hot topic these days. I honestly dont get how "Osama bin Laden is dead." can turn into a 2-day-straight news story. Poor reporters... Their bosses making them discuss pointless things because there probably isnt any other news. It makes them look bad when they say... and i quote... "Osama bin Laded died. I think this is a good thing." I mean, dur. But its not like they have anything more newsy to say. 


Isnt it sad how SO many people don't believe that he's really dead? Have we had just SO much government corruption that we can't belive our government when our president comes on national television? We don't believe our elected officials SO much that we demand pictures of a dead man? Think about it. What kind of person wants to see a man with a bullet wound in his face? It's sick. You wouldn't do that with anyone else! How can the government redeem themselves into gaining the trust of Americans back? This would make an excellent Socratic Seminar! We're doing those in English nowadays.
