Our TV is Messed Up

Have you ever tried watching a show on TV and about every 5 seconds it gets pixelated, stops, and then starts again.

Then you know what I am talking about.

We have Comcast, and we have had this ongoing problem where the TV gets pixelated and then pauses, interupting our show. Even when you're not watching, it's annoying. This is kind of what it sounds like.

"H-uh-i."
"H-uh-ello."
"Wh-uh-t's u-uh-p?"
"N-uh-ot m-uh-uch. Y-uh-ou?"

The "uhs" represent that annoying sound it makes when the tv stops. It's actually kind of hilarious because sometimes when it stops, you will see a picture of, for example, a guy's open mouth for 3 seconds.

This is kind of what it looks like when the TV gets pixelated.


OK, well not really. But you get my point.

So that's all I have time for tonight. It's Sunday, and I still haven't finished my homework.

Auf weidersein!

Justin Bieber- He's finally growing up

Justin Bieber.  The name alone is enough to make millions of girls (and yes, some boys) swoon. 

I personally am not a fan.  I admit his voice has gotten deeper, but I still don't like his music.

But I think he finally might be "growing up."



This is from rollingstone.com.  There was an article about him, and in it he discussed his view on sex, fame, politics, etc.  Some of the things he said were, well, interesting.

For example: He isn't sure what political party he'd support if he was old enough to vote. "I'm not sure about the parties," Bieber says. "But whatever they have in Korea, that's bad."

Well, Biebs, I agree.  The situation in Korea is very bad.  But is that really all you could think of?  I mean isn't he 17? 

But this just took the cake.



Well, Justin, looks like you've finally grown up.  And no, Selena, just because you are covering your face with your hand doesn't mean we can't tell it's you. 

But in Justin's defense, he probably be more famous than any of us.  Probably.  Not definetly. 

To be honest, I was actually obsessed with Justin Bieber for about a year.  I actually would pretend I was his girlfriend.

Please don't judge.  I was 12. Or mabe 13.  But I don't think I'm the only one.

Then one day I realized that I personally didn't like his music.  I found something better- the classic rock station on the radio.

So what do you think? Have you been infected with Bieber Fever?

I don't like teachers

You know how there are always those teachers who you just can't seem to like and you know they don't like you?

My science teacher is one of those people.

See, I had mono the two weeks before final exams. My other teachers gave me all the info I needed and posted stuff online. But my science teacher didn't post anything on the last unit we did, which I missed completely, even after she told me she would. So I ended up faint thy part of the exam. I also had to take a test on that part, and she gave me a fill in the blank study guide without answers. I looked in the textbook, but because it was worded so horribly, some of the info was not in the textbook, as it made no sense. Then when I went to take te test on a day we didn't have school, she was late! And there was nothing on that test that was on the study guide, either.

Whew. Ok then. That felt nice.

Although I do have some good news. I got a 98/100 on my history essay. That is the bet grade I have gotten on an essay this year for history.

So have a good night everyone. And remember- don't be an annoying teacher:).

Popped blisters and wood under my nail

Hello. So today at crew two very exciting things happened. My blister popped on the oar handle while I was rowing and I got wood stuck under my nail from the dock. I was in a great deal of pain on thr bus ride home, and then when I got home my parents had to dig the wood out from underneath my nail with tweezers. And you can imagine how that went down... Thank god it was on the edge of my nail.

So now I will talk about something else. And that is boys. One boy in particular who I like right now. We have been friends for several years, and he really liked me to my knowledge up until the middle of the first semester. Then I did something I will never forgive myself for (ok well maybe thats being a bit dramatic).

See, he had asked if I wanted to go to the school musical with him and I said yes I would. I thought we were just going as friends but then heard from some other friends he was going to ask me out. I had no clue what to do, so I had one of my friends tell him I didn't like him, and obviously that didn't make him happy.

Here's where it getsxi tricky. I started liking him a couple weeks ago. It seems like he still likes me but I don't know. I'm on the verge of asking him out. Well I am seeing him tomorrow at six because of crew (yes he does crew). So maybe I'll get things straightened out then?

Come on. Don't tell me you didn't think a post about a boy wasn't coming :D.

I hope they're ok...

Hey everyone. So I said I would write 3 blogs during the week and here's number 1. It's from my iTouch, but it still counts, right? :D

So yesterday at crew Practice, we were doing 6 inches(you lift your legs up about 6 inches and hold them there), and our coach's dad came over and said two boats had gone in the water! They were apparently in there for 15 minutes and had to be taken to the hospital. Why? The Potomac is freezing cold in the winter an being in there for thirty seconds could hurt you. But it sounds like they are all alright, which is good. The wind was really strong too, and they were apparently rowing away from the Key Bridge, where trees are scarce.

But this stuff happens very scarcely. It's not like we jump into the water on a daily basis...haha...haha.

So this is all I have time for, but don't worry- more is coming tonight!
