I think its safe to say that I've never made a resolution.
But maybe this year I will.
I think this year I will make this resolution:
Get rich and famous. Get fame and fortune.
Yeah, that's ridiculous, right?
That's why I've never made a new years resolution because I'm kind of stuck in a middle place right now. I have everything I want right now, and I'm just looking forward to the future. Like my career and stuff.
What Michelle Learned:
lowercase l's and uppercase I's are the same in most fonts. That's so confusing. I'm definitely going to change that when I'm president of the world.
Also when I'm president of the world all the letters from "On Beyond Zebra" by Dr. Seuss will be part of the alphabet. Also Hawaiian and Korean may become second and third languages in America. Also I will have a home in Canada. Next to Justin Biebers house and Ryan Reynolds house.
Life will be so much better when I'm president.
We're gonna party all night, and sleep all day, and throw all of our problems away, our lives will be eeeeasy, our lives will be eeeasy.
Whoever caught that the last bit was Black Eyed Peas lyrics then they are smart and they get a gold star.
Michelle's Random Opinion:
Department stores are cool but only if you are looking for homecoming dresses, perfume, purses, or your 8-year-old grand daughter.
We went to Macy's yesterday to spend some gift cards and we walked around the whole store like three times and I found out that the store was mainly for middle aged people with really weird taste and that I might have to design underwear because everyone else sucks at it.
I also found out that all coffee beans are good for are cleaning your nose after smelling tons of different kinds of perfume (SJP NYC FTW - If you could understand that then you're an amazing individual) and nothing else.
And I also found out whenever I go to Khols or Macy's or Dillards or JC Penny, I always ALWAYS end up wanting to buy the stuffed animal that they have in the display thing next to all the check-out places. Usually because they're really really really soft movie characters or doctor Seuss characters or, this time, a big papa smurf complete with finger puppets and a santa hat. Soft and delicious.

No ordinary blog
I've decided that I'm going to do something that will keep the blogs interesting.
Every blog that I write I will have a "What Michelle Learned Today (or in recent days past)" place where I will tell you something awesome or not so awesome that I learned and that you should know also.
I'm also going to start a "Michelle's Random Opinion" where I will tell you my random opinion on something. I'm going to say that usually its going to be a new opinion that I have or an opinion that i have that I have just become aware of.
So...
What Michelle Learned Today (or in recent days past):
Today I learned everything anyone will ever need to know about left handedness on Wikipedia.
I'm left handed, if you forgot. All the coolest people are.
Did you know that out of the last seven presidents, all the left handed ones that ran were the ones that won? Pretty cool, eh?
Here's what else I read, in the "positive connotations" section. Which, I might add, was much smaller than the "negative connotations" section.
"The Third Sapa Inca - Lloque Yupanqui -- was left-handed. His name when translated from Quechua means "the glorified lefthander." (However, this cannot be considered a positive connotation, since Lloque was known as "The Unforgettable Left-Handed One" due to his reportedly horrifying ugliness"
Wow. Thats...nice.
and then I read, (in the same section) something that really was positive. Or at least I thought until I got to the last part. I'm so confused about everything because of it. I don't know what to think about anything ever again. Here it is:
"In Russian, "levsha" (lefty, lefthander) became a common noun for skilled craftsman, after the title character from "The Tale of Cross-eyed Lefty from Tula and Steel Flea." written in 1881 by Nikolai Leskov."
I'm going to write a book about a left handed person, and its going to be very positive towards his lefthandedness, and I'll call it The Tale of Cross-eyed Lefty from Tula and Steel Flea. Yeah, that's it. A title like that will draw anyone in!
Oh Nikolai. You have so much to learn.
But I guess it does draw people in. It drew me in. I mean, there's nothing I want more now! (Kristin, if you were wondering, this book is now on the top of my wish list for late Christmas. I hope they have it in English.)
No but really beside being unable to cut anything straight or have good handwriting, being left handed is the booomdigityboom.
You know in baseball the pitcher has an advantage if they are different hand than the batter, and the batter has an advantage if they are the same hand, so often a team will whip out a secret agent left-handed pitcher to win the game for them. That may be the best thing I've heard all day!
Michelle's Random Opinion:
Keanu Reeves is a terrible actor.
Excuse the font change, I couldn't fix it. :(

Jumping on the Resolution Bandwagon
*coffcoff*
Hello, everyone. Hello especially to you there in the back. Yes, you. The one I'm pointing at. The only one in the room.
So I've been pretty sick. I went through a few steps, the most recent one being this morning, where I phased into recovery only to jump a few steps back into awful nausea while at work. Don't worry, it went away without incident. And now I'm (almost) as good as new.
Basically last week was Christmas! Michelle and I got some cool stuff, but of the two of us, my stuff was definitely better. And I was more thankful for it. Like my hats. I got two hats for Christmas and I love them, but Michelle got hats and said, "I got too many hats." DUMB.
Kidding, kidding.
I also got about 1500 pages worth of Tad Williams books, which will keep me happy for roughly the rest of my life.
So the real reason I wrote this blog post is to share with you that I'm one of those New Year Resolution people. Actually, I'm not. I never have been. I'm going to start though. And as I was sitting here, trying to think of what my New Years resolution would be, I realised something: not only am I going to be one of those annoying people who makes resolutions, I'm going to be the one with the dumb, run-of-the-mill resolution that everyone else has (hint: it's not "I'm going to lose X pounds this year by going on a diet of worms and rice"). I'm going to stay in shape!
I sort of did this last year, only after dance and swim team were over, things sort of petered out into shameless vegging. This means that this year, not only do I have to keep limber in the spring (yoga) and the summer (swimming), I also will have to come up with a plan for the fall/winter when I'm at UCM where opportunities for vegging will probably abound (let's face it - I'm not going for the part of "college experience" that involves socialising). There's a gym and all, but the real battle will be making myself travel the quarter mile to get there.
So that's the marching order for the year. I hope all your resolutions are equally corny.
Names, superheroes, and skybank
Amy, Amy, Amy....Heres something for your sickypoo self.
I've been thinking about names, with all these little babies around, and I've made a list of my favorite.
Athena, Alice, Phoebe, Sophie, Sophia, Jamia, Marie, Alexis, Stella, Jacob, Judah, Colin, Conrad, William, Charlie, Jason, Oliver, Ezra.
I also have a list of names that I wouldn't name my kids but that I still like.
Like Boaz, London.
Thats not much of a list, is it.
The other night I had a really cool dream.
So there was this show that my dance studio was doing, and the drama class, (which was actually a dance class) didn't have a dance yet, but we'd picked out a song. We didn't know that the performance was going to be so soon (like we hadn't even met together once) and so me and Briana, this other girl in my class, went into the basement into this little room that was like a nursery or a sunday school room, and it was tiny, but somehow we managed to choreograph this entire Black Eyed Peas song. The song started like Boom Boom Pow, but I remember thinking, when I woke up, that it was called The Time, and that I had to look it up later. Then, after I was more awake, I remembered that it must not have been The Time, because I'd head that song a billion times, and it was nothing like that. It was like...a different song. That I made up in my head. Anywho we choreographed this whole thing, and it was really cool, and when I woke up I remembered the whole dance, but I didn't write it down, and now that I think of it, I wouldn't have been able to use it for anything anyway because that song doesn't exist.
Life is just so sad sometimes.
I'm pretty sure it was the coolest dream I've had in a while.
Except for the one I just had where you, Amy, didn't want to go to pacastan on vacation so you kidnapped me so you wouldn't have to go. That didn't work out so well, but we changed our plans so just me and Angela were going.
And then there was this huuuuuge fat cobra that was in the sand box, and it was going crazy, and dad was wrestling with it and it was so cool looking, and then it got out, and it was in the bushes next to me, but for some reason I didn't freak out.
I kind of like snakes. They're really cool.
Did you know that the general symptoms of a snake bite are dizziness, fainting, increast thirts, headache, fever, severe pain (no kidding), breathing difficulty, bleeding, fang marks (O really?), discoloration (of the skin, in the bite area), burning sensation, swelling, bleeding spots, numbness, tingling, sweating, blurriness, rapid pulse, low blood pressure, severe shock, convulsions, loss of coordination, weakness, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Soooo don't get bit by poisonous snake. Nothing good comes from it.
Unless its a a snake kind of like the spider on spider-man. Then you could turn into snake-man!
What kind of superpowers would snake-man have? Uuhh, He can strangle people with his body? He can swallow them hole? He can unhinge his jaw? He can bite people? As cool as slithering around can be, spider-man has got it made with that whole web-flying thing.
Sometimes I wonder what he would do if he was in the desert. web-fly off the atmosphere? That's kind of like what he did in the game.
Oh Spider-Man, you are useless in the not-city. You cannot hang upside down anywhere, you cannot have any kind of element of surprise, you cannot do anything except webbatize peoples eyes.
You see what I did there? that was a rhyme. An awesome rhyme. The most awesome rhyme of all time.
Boohyaaaaah.
Out of all the superheroes, I'm pretty sure Flash, Aquaman and Hawkman are the best. I still can't decide which I would rather do. Breathe under water and swim really good, or have really big wings and be able to fly.
Air is everywhere, water is not. But the wings would definitely get in the way sometimes. But they do look really cool.
Its a toss up. "Just like my cash to skybank" Oh wheezywaiter. You be funny.
Feeling better, Amer?
Peace out home slice.

Back into the swing of things
Well, break it over, and school is starting again. UUUUUUUUUGHHH.
My school is starting before every person on the planet! Its not 2011 yet, and yet I'm still doing school AFTER Christmas break. I don't think this has ever happened to me before, and it shouldn't happen to anyone else.
We had a pretty cool Christmas and with the family, and I got some pretty cool stuff.
You know how people are asking you what you want, and you know through out the year you've had just about 100 ideas, but you can't think of any when you need to make a list? Yeah that's what happened to me. I put like three little measly things on the list, but I didn't think of anything big until I went Christmas shopping. I always see a billion things I want when I go shopping anywhere, but that was just about a week before Christmas and everyone had already bought all their presents for me, but I wrote my ideas down anyway.
Thats whats so nice about having a birthday right after Christmas. Its like the safety net for Christmas. Everything that you don't catch in the Christmas net will be caught in the safety birthday net. Its pretty great.
But thats just about the only up side to having a birthday in the winter. February is just about the worst month of the year because its before the grass starts getting green or the leaves start coming out, and its after the snow. Its always gray all the time. Valentines day does make it feel better though, because its like the 3rd most colorful holiday of the year (Christmas and St. Patricks day come before it. Thanksgiving and Halloween are next after Valentines day on the colorful list because I don't consider brown to be a color, and that's the color that it is outside and inside during Thanksgiving (That goes for the turkey too. And all the other food, actually) And the official color of Halloween is Orange, but you see more Black and gray and cobweb-color than anything) and its all about love and hearts and girls and embarrassing little love notes and ME. Yes. I pride myself on having a birthday on a holiday. I may just get married on Valentines day too, because then I would have THREE things to celebrate on that day. Ha.
So far I haven't been able to live Valentines/my birthday out to the fullest because as they say, "February 14th is the worst day of the year for single people." Its also the day of the most snail mail AND the day of the most speed dating/blind dating. Fun, right? I do happen to be single, but since Feb. 14th is my birthday, it isn't the worst day. The worst day of the year for me is probably December 26th or August 1st, when I start school.
Oh my, the last couple of days there has been the prettiest yellow cat hanging around outside our house, and I feel so terrible for it because its really cold out there, and I want to let it in, but every time I open the door it runs away. I tried to put some food out for it, but I think the dog ate it. Our dog is CRAZY about cat food. I mean whats the difference between dog food and cat food? They both kind of look the same, and they smell the same. I wonder what they taste like. This one time I ate a dog treat. It was cheese and bacon flavored and it kind of tasted like a ball of grits with really almost tasteless powdered cheese on it. I didn't taste any bacon. I think they were lying about that.
