What about you? Do you like cold weather?

I hate cold weather. I like days that are sunny and a bit breezy, but not too scorching and not too chilly. When the sky is cloudless and it just feels good to be outdoors. I'd prefer really hot weather over really cold weather, any day.

Are you a morning person or not? What time do you get up? Are you on time to school?

No, I am definately not a morning person. I'm always ill whenever I wake up in the mornings, its the worst feeling ever to me. I set my alarm for 6:30 and don't actually get up until about 6:50, then I when I get out of the shower, I get myself dressed and wrap my hair up in the towel and then sleep AGAIN until 7:30. After that I dry my hair and do whatever else I need to do and I'm usually always on time to school. I hate mornings, unless I've slept extremely well or unless I'm excited about something I'm doing that day.... which is very rare.

A study from the University of Minnesota indicated that teens who skip breakfast are more likely to become obese than those who routinely eat breakfast. Over the five-year span of the study, those who skipped breakfast were on average five pounds heavier than their breakfast-eating peers.

I don't usually eat breakfast. Every once in a while I'll wake up early enough for it, but other wise I usually just go without. And I highly doubt that I will ever become obese. I weigh a steady 115lbs, I can't gain weight even if I wanted to try. But believe me, if I could eat breakfast every morning, I would. I hate being at school and waiting for lunch. Breakfast would that situation out a little bit...... yeah.

Never lend your car to anyone to whom you have given birth. ~Erma Bombeck

What does this quote mean? Do you think it applies to your parents? Does it apply to any of your friends' parents?

This means that you shouldn't trust your children to drive your car, because something bad could very possibly come of it. It doesn't apply to my parents because I never drive their cars, and when I did I was always really cautios. On the other hand, I have a few friends whose parents this could apply to. One of my friends ran into a pole with her step-dad's car and scuffed it up pretty bad. The car is black and the marks were white, so we colored it in with a black sharpie, and he never noticed. Haha.

Girls Basketball Team Regrets Winning 100-0, Seeks Forfeit

I think basketball is boring and I'd probably sleep through a game right now if I were sitting in one. I don't know what those girls did, but if they're going to play a sport they should remember that its just a game and play fairly.

What is a social network? Do you have a profile on a social networking site?

Any website designed to allow multiple users to publish content themselves. The information may be on any subject and may be for consumption by (potential) friends, mates, employers, employees, etc. The sites typically allow users to create a "profile" describing themselves and to exchange public or private messages and list other users or groups they are connected to in some way. There may be editorial content or the site may be entirely user-driven.
I have facebook, myspace, and flickr.

"Sexting"

I think its rediculous that these little girls are putting themselves in such situations. They should have more respect for themselves than to send out nude pictures of themselves to guys that more than likely aren't worth anything to them. I don't know anyone, personally, who is involved with that type of activity, but I have heard a few stories about Coffee High girls in situations like that. I think its stupid and irresponsible to do stuff like that. I don't think its worth pressing charges on the students in Pennsylvania, though. Its not like they were abused and forced into having nude pictures taken of themselves. They chose to put themselves out there and make some dumb, perveted guy happy. They should be ashamed, but I don't see any purpose in pressing charges on them.

Free Write

The past two days have been sooo long. I can't wait until the weekend so I can sleep in and catch up on my sleep. For some reason its hard for me to sleep well on week nights, no matter how tired I may be. I hate it. Sometimes I wish I could quit my job just so I could go home after school and be lazy. But I know that probably woundn't be the brightest of ideas. I need money. I need money probably even more than I need rest, right now. Hah.

What is the actual Inauguration? What other events surround the Inauguration?
Have you ever been to an Inauguration or know someone that has?

Inauguration is when the new president is made official. I've never been to an inauguration but I have been to the Mall it is very cool.

Think about your eyes -- now! Did you know that smoking constricts blood vessels that supply oxygen to the eyes? What other habits or activities do you & others actively participate in that cause damage to your eyes?

I usually sit too close to the computer screen when I'm at home... and my eyes start to burn a lot, so I don't think thats very healthy. And although I've heard it isn't really harmful to eyes, I read in dim light a lot. And sometimes I forget to take out my contacts at night.

What's your favorite TV show? What's so great about it?

I don't watch much tv. But when I do I like to watch shows on TLC. Like Little People Big World and John & Kate Plus 8. I like those shows because you get to see a glimpse of someone else's life and how they live with the situations they are given (dwarfism, sextuplets, etc). I find it really interesting. I also like to watch America's Funniest Home Videos... because its really funny. And anything on Animal Planet. I love animals.
