So. Last week my roommates did THE cutest thing for me!
I had been having a horrible week. I had so much homework and I was stressed to the max and I was just not so happy. And then on thursday, I went to go take the chem test. And I didn't do as well as I would have liked so I was even more bummed. Then I went home and Adelaide had made cake for me! And Karen had cleaned my room and made me notes and wrote me a poem. It was sooooooo nice!
The cake that Adelaide made me was sooo delicious. It was a pink strawberry cake. And she put a jello mix in it. And used Whipped Cream as frosting. Then she put lots and lots of sprinkles on it. It was So so so GOOD! And the poem Karen wrote for me was so silly. It made me giggle.
So yeah that was really awesome.

Competition

I despise competition. I hate every form of it. Competition in sports, in boys, in fashion, in social life... It is in practically every part of life, but I try to avoid it every chance I can.

Sports: I am soooo incredibly horrible at sports, it is exasperating. I try to move my arms and legs at the same time to be able to shoot a basket, but when I shoot, I am off by a mile. When I extend my arms to bump back a volley, somehow the ball ricochets off my arm in the opposite direction... my arms aren't crooked or anything are they? Unfortunately, sports are very competitive. When I am just playing a game with some friends, they are way fun. But put me on a team and I go nuts. Everyone knows I am bad, so they never pass me the ball. And there is a lot of shoving, and shouting, and poor sportsmanship. Sports is a big deal a lot of the time. In High school, if you were on a sports team it pretty much automatically boosted your social status. And social competition is way not fun either...

Girls will do just about anything to get attention. I feel like there is always competition when it comes to girls. I get paranoid because I am not pretty enough, or smart enough. I am not flirty enough to get the guy, not cool enough to be invited to the party. Not outgoing enough to be in the 'cool' crowd, not fun enough to be considered her 'best friend'. Feelings of inadequecy always haunt me when it comes to competition. I am not talented enough to beat anyone at any sport, and not cool enough to have a chance in the social world.

But then I think of all the things I have going for me. I have a family. A stable, loving family who would do absolutely anything for me. There is no harsh competetion within the home! I don't need to impress anyone at home. I also don't have to compete for my clothes, food, shelter.

Summer = <3; Winter = Death

I cannot believe that it already snowed! It kind of makes me sad! I do not like snow that much. It is cold, and wet, and cold, an slippery, and cold, and yucky and cold. Now, don't get me wrong, it is fun to go sledding. And I absolutely LOVE skiing! But if i could choose between skiing and summer all-year round, i would totally pick summer. I love to feel the sun an my face. I love to go to the lake, i love to go camping, i love to have sleep-overs on the trampoline in the backyard. I like to have barbeques, and slip n slides. I love sitting outside reading my book. Being outside in the cold and dark and wet of winter does not sound very enticing to me. Not even the slightest bit. And I hate jeans and long-sleeved shirts! I most definitely prefer shorts and t-shirts.

Rhetorical Shampoo

So, the other day I was doing what I know how to do best... facebooking. I was viewing one of my friends' pictures, and this particular picture was a very gorgeous one of her showing off her long, golden, curly hair. It was very pretty hair. Then I noticed that this particular picture of hers had also attracted the attention of many of her other friends, many of which had left comments. So I decided to read the comments that had been left. The one that caught my eye the most, was one that said: "someone should do a shampoo commercial! you look beautiful as ever"
I think that this particular picture would be a great idea for an ad or something of the sort, because her hair is really pretty, and it would convince many people, that if they bought the advertised champoo, then they could have pretty hair as well.

I really really like this ad. :) First of all, I love the colors splashed against the black and white photo. Second of all I love the colors. I think colors are a an excellent way to grab someone's attention. I know that whenever I see something colorful, I get really happy. Colors are very pleasing to the eyes. And they also make you happy, therefore appealing to your sense of pathos.
Second of all, I love play-doh! It is so fun! This ad is cool becausei t helps prompt the creativity in people through playing with play-doh.
