Time After Time

23 days. 23 days. 23 days. 23 days. 23 days. 23 days. 23 days. 23 days. 23 days. 23 days. 23 days. 23 days. 23 days. 23 days. 23 days. 23 days. 23 days. 23 days. 23 days. 23 days. 23 days. 23 days.

So, there are only 23 days of school left.

I'll get excited when there are maybe 5 or so days left

Dear Time, please hurry up and pass.

Yum

I decided it was time I one up Sam and post my favorite sexiest men of all time. I didn't stick just to actors, though. I branched out to musicians, too.



1. Vince Vaughn- Sure, he is fat and balding now, but he manages to pull it off.

2. Joshua Jackson- He was my first celebrity crush back when I was like 10. I guess I just have a soft spot for him.

3. Joe Perry- I'm not sure if I fell in love with Aerosmith or Joe Perry first. Dude's got some mad guitar skills.

4. Marlon Brando- I love his movie On The Waterfront! His looks aren't bad either.

5. Ben Affleck- Saw him for the first time on Armageddon and loved him.

6. Axl Rose- Really, does this surprise anyone given my obsession with the man?

7. Tom Hanks- I don't love him so much for his looks as I do his voice!

Another Round Of Applause Goes To:

Once in a while there are stories out there that do nothing but warm my heart. I think those stories need to be honored, so I decided to do another installment of AROAGT.

Rhonda- I applaud you on saving your dog. Way to throw yourself in front of a large bus in order to save your dog!

Immigrant Soldiers- I applaud the immigrant soldiers who spoke out against the new immigration laws. I agree, I think we should let ANY foreigner into our country. No need to hassle them or force them to get greencards.

Rhonda- I applaud you for sticking a pen through your ear. It takes great courage to do something like that, but you pulled it off!

Pocatello Church- I applaud you immensely for your courageous act. Not many churches would bless over a 100 bikers, but you did! Next on your list should be Hells Angels!

Rhonda- I applaud you for coming to school today. Not only that, but you came to school on time and without any trace of nicotine in your posession.

Iraq- I applaud you for allowing a flight to finally land in London for the first time in over twenty years, and you even did it without bombing anything! Great job!

Rhonda- I applaud you for getting pulled over last week. I applaud you for not only getting pulled over, but for getting pulled over for something that wasn't speeding. You've surprised me yet again.

Shakespeare- I applaud you on writing the great play known as Hamlet. I didn't think I could love anything more than I loved Macbeth, but you proved me wrong. I go to sleep at night dreaming about Hamlet and wondering what is going to happen in the next scene. For that, I thank you.

Three Wishes...plus a bonus

I wish...

I wish it was October
I don't want to be in this town anymore. I want to get away and stay away, and that isn't going to happen until October 4. Seriously, I wish I signed up to start college in the summer. It would have been such a wise decision but at the time I was in the thought process of "I want one last free summer at home." I now no longer want one last summer at home. Summerdale is becoming more and more appealing each day.

I wish I had money
I guess the wise decision here would be to go out and get a job, but I can't. If I do, mom 1/4 of her montly income and I lose health insurance. I guess turning 18 wasn't the greatest thing on Earth. I then wouldn't have to explain to my best friend why I can't pay for my share of the hotel until the beginning of May. Luckily she understands and doesn't hold a grudge, or if she does she hides it well. I don't mind being poor, but it can be frustrating at times.

I wish I could be as carefree as people think I am
I rarely let things bother me. I take things day by day. I don't plan a head a week, month, or a year. Whatever happens, happens. I believe there is no control over it. But lately I find myself becoming increasingly frustrated with different things. Whether it be school, home, friends, or some other random thing in front of me. I spend more and more time in my room away from human contact that I worry myself. Normally I'm talking nonstop (ask anyone) but now it's rare. I'm hoping it's a seasonal thing and it passes soon.

I wish Brett Michaels a speedy recovery
Brett was my first love, after all. If me, him, and Axl Rose are going to have a long happy relationship together, he needs to get out of the hospital!

Until Then

The last three days have been great. Acutally, this entire week has been great. There is nothing for me to complain about, which is I know, odd.

Now, the odds of these great days continuing for the next few weeks until school ends is slim to none. I just know I'm getting ready to run into someone who's going to bring my mood down!

I purchased a new laptop today, which I desperately needed...since I cracked the screen in my other one over a month ago. I bought some new clothes (sadly, no yellow summer dresses as they were all sold out). Finally paid for my U2 ticket... a day late..but hey, it's paid.

I finished all of my financial aid paperwork on Wednesday, so that's a big stress reliever!

So now, I'm hoping that everything runs smoothly until June 11, then I have a special message for everyone!

Until then....

It's Official

I am a PA lottery winner.

I spent five dollars and won a whopping....30!

Reason #1419743 of why I'm better than you.

To All My Rowdy Followers

IT'S BEEN SO LONG!

To all of my loyal followers and readers, I apologize for my extended absenteeism. Please forgive me for I have sinned.

It's not that I have found something better, (really, what is better than you guys?) it's just that my time has been occupied over the past few days. After getting many worrisome emails on my behalf, I decided it was time to update you all on my current status. I didn't want you all to start making trips to Central PA to track me down and make sure I was alright.

I understand that you all look forward to my blogs everyday, and five days without one is the equivalent of going a month without water. It's your lifeline, your sanctuary, your escape, your heroin.

It was rude of me to just up and leave. I put my own needs about all of yours and that will NEVER EVER happen again. I wouldn't blame any of you if you unfollowed me and found someone else to worship.

For all of you that have read this ridiculous post this far, here is a song I composed for your loyalty:

I 'm all out of blogs, you're so lost without them
I know you were right believing for so long
I 'm all out of blogs, what are you without them
I can't be too late to say that I was so amazing at writing them

You want me to come back and write you more blogs
Away from this long lonely nights
I'm reaching for more blogs, are you feeling it too
Does the feeling seem oh so right
And what would you say if I wrote one now
And said that I can't write more
There's no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone

I 'm all out of blogs, you're so lost without them
I know you were right believing for so long
I 'm all out of blogs, what are you without them
I can't be too late to say that I was so amazing at writing them

Thousand Miles to Paradise

Is it sad that I don't know if I'm more excited to see the U2 concert or the Rocky Statue? I've seen the statue three times in the past, and am looking forward to seeing it a fourth time.

However, I will be traveling with Rhonda and Harrison so the chances of us making it on time are 1441478592735583523753253262 5 to 1.

I'm sure the concert will start at 7:30 so we'll leave Mifflin County at 5, determined to make it to Philly in two hours.

I'll blog about my experience on July 14th, two days after this trip.

Why I Hate People Part 3....

A woman is facing up to 18 months in prison for taping an eight month old puppy upside down to a refrigerator. She had an arguement with her boyfriend and took it out on the dog.

I think she should serve her 18 months taped upside down to a wall in her jail cell.

Then they should uthinize her.

I hate animal cruelty.

Good Things Come to Great People

And lets face it, I'm the greatest person there is.

I mean, really, lets take a look at all of my accomplishments:

1. I've held 3 jobs by 17! I like to experience different jobs to see that I like!
2. I got ALL my friends to stop their bad habits.
3. I composed inspiring masterpieces.

The list goes on and on. I don't have time to sit and list everything.

Today my greatness has been awarded.

Central Penn awarded me a 9,000 dollar scholarship based on my academic excellence!

I have to keep a 3.5 GPA while down there, but hey, I'm used to 4.1's.

Now if only my head would stop throbbing.

Why I hate people part 2...

I think I have a concussion. A heavy toolbox filled with heavy tools fell on my unaware head....twice.

I made the mistake of volunteering to help my sister rearrange her storage unit so she could fit in furniture. We picked up this rusty old toolbox and set it on top of other stacked objects. Well, she let go of her end before it was properly placed, and it proceeded to slide down and land on top of my head.

Then, once we were done rearranging, we had to unstack everything. She couldn't reach her end so she through objects at it like it was just going to gravitate towards her. It didn't. It slid forward, and instead of moving out the way, I tried to catch it so it wouldn't smash the glass stuff laying behind me because I am a nice person. Mistake. It landed squarely on my head and this time even knocked my glasses off my head and sent me for a loop. I saw the birds flying in circles around me.

So now my head is throbbing and it hurts to move.

But don't worry, I learned my lesson.

People Always Ask

"Tara, why do you hate people so much?"

I decided now was the time to tell you why.

A 17 year old boy with a lot of brains got gored by a bull after instigating and calling out to it. The boy suffered a broken arm and a few cuts and bruises.

HE THEN ISSUED HIS REVENGE FOR THE BULL!

They shot the bull, and he and his family plan to eat it for dinner.

I don't know where to start; getting revenge on the bull, or eating it?

If I shot and then ate everything that angered me at one point or another, there would be little left on Earth. It'd be me...my dog....and...uh er....well, that's it.

There you have. I will have another installment of why I hate people at a later date. Stay tuned.

I'm right, as always. Big surprise there. I'm in shock.

The only news stories out there are all about Easter and children dying. I don't care about either one of them, so I have to come up with something else to write about. Well, I was talking to someone and we somehow got on the subject of songs and no matter how many times you hear them, it's hard to sing them by yourself without missing a word. I decided now is the time to see if they were right or not.

I've watched Grease 573290758265826532 times and would bet I know every word to "You're the one that I Want."

Time to test my knowledge!

I got chills, they're multiplying
And I'm losing control, cause the power
You're supplyin', it's electrifyin'

You better shape up (up up up)
Cause I need a man (need a man)
And my heart is set on you

You better shape up
You better understand
That my heart is justified

You're the one that I want (oh oh ohhhh)
The one that I need
oh yes indeeeeeeeeed

If you're filled with affection
You're too shy to convey
Meditate in my direction
Feel your way

You better shape up
I better shap up
Cause I need a man
You need a man
Who can keep me satisfied

I better shape up
If you're gonna prove
I better prove

Are you sure
Yes I'm sure down deep inside

You're the one that I want
The one that I need
Oh yes and deeeeed

REPEAT x3

I am uh-may-zing.

Yummy In The Tummy

You don't know how many times I hear people complaining about seafood menus nothing having enough variety. It usually goes something like this:

Them: This seafood menu sucks.

Me: Amen sista.

Them: It's enough to make me become a vegetarian.

Me: Amen sista

Them: Would it kill them to add on a new sea creature?

Me: Amen sista

Them: I get so sick of eating shrimp and crabs.

Me: Amen sista

Well, now they can't complain anymore. A new sea creature has been found in one of the oceans and it looks yummy yummu yummy! It's called Bathynomus giganteus. Here's a picture! No doubt you'll be ordering it the next time you visit Red Lobster.
