Niiiine tiiiimes.

My sister Hannah reminded me that it has now been 9 years of blogging for us. Here are some blogging thoughts from my first couple of blog posts as a college sophomore. Now I remember why I like talking to teenage girls so much (really!). Endless topics to cover.

U2 Concert

I get chills just remembering it. Well, I got chills during most of the songs. I mean, come on, it's Bono. But that one was awesome. And I did cry. Tears did well up. Who cares if I'm cheesy! Go Martin! Go civil rights! Go America! Go U2! Go everybody!

Renowned Mickey Mouse Club Band The Party

There's this one part that's stuck in my head where the black guy's all, "Oooo....yeah." And Tiffany sings, "Oh la la la la la la....oh la la la la la, la la!" "Oooooo, he's got me actin' crazy, like a girl who's never been kissed before" (black guy: "mm mm mm"). I love that song!! "He's got just what it takes to keep me smilin' all my life! I tell you, I found love, this time nobody's gonna steal it away-y! Gonna tell the whole world, he is mine. I found love, this time nobody's gonna steal it away-y! Gonna tell the who-ole world, this time love is mine!"

Lunch

Don't ever bring applesauce in Tupperware to school in your backpack. It's just a bad idea. Everything in your backpack will wind up with a thin sticky applesaucey film. I warn you from recent personal experience, as recent as this morning, even. The applesauce was good, though. I brought kind of weird food today - besides the applesauce, I brought Banana Nut Crunch cereal, also in Tupperware (don't worry, I didn't put milk in it. What do you think I am, some kind of sicko?) and some Swedish cookies in a huge Ziploc bag.

Bombay House

Honestly, my idea of spicy food, when I cook anyway, usually involves Season-All and salt & pepper. But this stuff wasn't too bad. I liked the rice and bread and water and stuff. Just kidding

My Job

Some girl just dropped off a resume for a letter of recommendation for one of the teachers who works down here, and I was reading it and it kind of made me laugh. Under "Personal Achievements" she put "Rollerblading" and "Participated in the Miss Farmington Pageant." I don't know why I thought that was so funny.

Movies

So yeah, old Mandy Moore went ahead and died, but I already knew it was going to happen because I read the book the night before I saw it, which everyone thought was so great, but I'm telling you, Nicholas Sparks is SO CHEESY!!! The book was pretty bad. I read about the first 20 pages all the way through, and then I realized, "You know what? All I want to know is what happens." So I skimmed the rest, and finished it in about a half an hour. I still want to see Count of Monte Cristo, mostly because of Jim Caveziel or however you spell it, but also because of the murder and intrigue.

Dinner

Honestly, why do I buy Budget Gourmet? The meals are only like a buck-fifty, that's probably why. And because you can put it in the microwave. But they should be a little more honest with themselves and call it "Budget Poop."

My life is a little different now, but as it turns out, my blog hasn't changed much. Now I'm off to read Amelia Bedelia and the Baby for the...57th time. OK, bye!
