I know it's kind of lame...

So.... My sister Kalli sent me an email asking for me to help her "earn" an iPod. I checked it out, and it seems this is the easiest "Get a Free iPod" internet opportunity I've ever seen. All you need to do is sign up for just ONE offer (they're not even horrible!), and have 5 other friends sign up for them, and then they'll send you a free iPod. Kalli says her friend Alexandra did it, and it's not a scam. So anyways, I signed up for the Blockbuster offer to rent DVD's online (It's a pretty good deal if you ask me.) pretty much so I could help out my sister. And I know it's kind of lame, but I got kind of excited to think that I am just a few steps away from receiving my $250 iTunes giftcard (you can get a 30 GB iPod, a 4 GB Nano or a $250 iTunes giftcard). If just 5 people will sign up for one of their offers through my referral, I'll get it! Maybe we can even share! So if you are at all interested in helping out a friend, I'd really appreciate it if you could just peruse the offer or whatever. Thanks a bunch, my pals! Now I'm gonna go check my mail to see if I got my movies yet! Yeehawww!

I know Valentine's Day was over a week ago, but still I thought I'd share this all with you. Heaven knows I won't eat it. Tee hee!

Your Candy Heart Says "First Kiss"

You're a true romantic who brings an innocent hope to each new relationship. You see the good in every person you date, and you relish each step of falling in love. Your ideal Valentine's Day date: a romantic dinner your sweetie cooks for you Your flirting style: friendly and sweet What turns you off: cynics who don't believe in romance Why you're hot: you always keep the romance alive

What Does Your Candy Heart Say?

Happy Birthday to Me!!

Just in case any of you didn't know, I'm telling you now: Today is my Birthday! So far it's been a normal school day filled with a sleepy literature class and me passed out in Music 1010. Choir should be about the same... unless we have a lame-o rehearsal with Mr. Brian Crosby (which I think at this point will just KILL me!)... But if that doesn't kill me, it'll only make me stronger, right? Anyways, I'm excited because my sorority Lambda Delta Sigma, Chapter Epsilon is going out to dinner tonight for our Dues Banquet! No way am I going to miss going out to eat for a third time so far this week! And then this weekend is the momentous event I've been waiting for my whole life!!! Well, I mean for at least the past month... anyways... (Now, prepare yourselves people, because you're not going to hear this sentence from me for a long long long time to come... if at all!) This weekend (dramatic pause...) I am going (another pause...) on TWO dates. TWO! Consecutively! (After all these pauses, I feel there should be some kind of explosion here or something!) Each is with one of my really good friends who are named Rhyno Dhyno Yasy-Pants and Brett Bretterson, respectively, and I'm sure I've said it a bajillion times, but I'm so excited! So spread the word: Brooke is Cool. With a Capital C. Alright, my fine friends, that is all. :)

Missing Moments

Here are a few of Jess's favorite missing moments:

The Sledding Olympics

This past Saturday night, Jess and I created our own 1st Annual Sledding Olympics! I don't really remember and/or wish to share all the "commentary", so you're just gonna have to make do with all the "screen caps"... yeah.

Be There, or Be Square

Hey all you squares out there! Are you looking to lose your box-like shape? Do you constantly finding yourself wishing you were less square-ish? Is it your square-shaped heart's desire to look like another cooler shape? If so, I suggest that you find yourself at my Birthday Party tonight! Said get-together will be held at ma maison (it's French for "my house") at 7-ish. Even if you can't be there at 7, feel free to stop by any time! (I've even worked it out with Mr. Nazi-Pants so I'll be able to party until AFTER MIDNIGHT if you can believe it!) Like my ward FHE commitee has said about their shenanigans, "It's going to be so much fun!" and "There's gonna be a ton of food!" Yeah, we're pretty much gonna party down... or up? And if you have a cool game or movie or something, feel free to bring that to share as well! I hope to see you all there! Huzza!

*Yawn!*

Well, I just woke up from a 4 hour nap. It was lovely... except for the weird dreams about TRAX. I dreamed I'd been on TRAX for 4 hours and I couldn't get off, but then I ran into some girls from my sorority so that was better. But then things weren't so good once more when the three of us were talking to two hot guys on TRAX that turned out to be single so they took my two sorority friends out on dates and left me alone once more on the TRAX. I don't know if I'll ever recover...

Confessions on a Dance Floor

This post should probably be called "My Guilty Little Pleasures," but I thought that might sound a little provocative... Anyways, somehow I always find myself rockin' out to some new song that doesn't exactly have the best message in it. And it's like I can't help myself! (Don't get me wrong... sometimes the message is better than others...) So now that I'm past the first step of denial, I'm going to shout it out to the world by sharing with you all my Guilty-Pleasure-Songs!


"Hung Up" by Madonna
Album: Confessions on a Dance Floor


"My Humps" by Black Eyed Peas
Album: Monkey Business


"Don't Cha" by The Pussycat Dolls

From the Other Side of the Trax...

I don't know about Michelle, but I had one CARAZAY Saturday night! If you want to have as grand of a time as we did, follow these simple steps:

1. Travelling alone on TRAX at one in the morning is not something anybody should set out to do on their own. That's why Step 1 is to bring a friend/bodyguard along for the ride.

2. While waiting for the next train, don't merely sit and wait, as it might get cold and/or boring. Here are some activities to keep yourself entertained during the frightfully dull wait!

• Bring a camera and take lots of silly pictures of you and your friend/bodyguard.
• Walk on the actual train tracks like there's no tomorrow!
• Take more pictures of you ON the tracks!
• Call your friend Adam and make really loud parrot noises.
• Play "Wordalicious" until your foggy brain starts to hurt.
• Go crazy in general.
• Shout out random relative's titles (i.e. GRANDMA!!!).
• Bring a Music 1010 book from 1995 which you purchased from the D.I. that once belonged to Ryan Butterfield and laugh at his insipid concert reports.
• Basically, attempt to make the other weirdos look normal.

3. If all else fails, attempt to steal government property.

If you follow these steps, an enjoyable TRAX ride at 1 in the morning will be your prize! Now hop to it!!

Looney Luna Lovegood

This blog is not intended to disburse the news, more like... make my own random comments about stuff... actually, I don't think I've ever had a solid piece of news on here ever. So here you go. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Luna Lovegood-- the part has finally been cast to a young girl named Evanna Lynch. You can read all about it here. But like I said, I'm not really here to tell you all about it. I am here to say "Bravo" to those casting directors. Out of around 15,000 girls in a cattle call, they narrowed it down to this girl. And if she fits the part as well as she perfects the look, this Luna is gonna be freakin' amazin'!

HER RESEMBLENCE IS UNCANNY!
CHECK IT OUT!

On the Hogwarts Express

She raised her upside-down magazine high enough to hide her face and fell silent. Harry and Neville looked at each other with their eyebrows raised. Ginny suppressed a giggle. (OotP, UK edition, p. 169)

And a lion roars in the Great Hall...

'I'm supporting Gryffindor,' said Luna, pointing unnecessarily at her hat. 'Look what it does...' (OotP, UK edition, p. 357) Christmas Party at Slughorn's Office

"All the subjects required, in short, for an Auror ," said Snape with the faintest sneer.
"Yeah, well, that's what I'd like to do," said Harry defiantly.
"And a great one you'll make too!" boomed Slughorn.
"I don't think you should be an Auror, Harry," said Luna unexpectedly. Everybody looked at her. "The Aurors are part of the Rotfang Conspiracy, I thought everyone knew that. They're planning to bring down the Ministry of Magic from within using a combination of Dark Magic and gum disease."
Harry inhaled half his mead up his nose as he started to laugh. Really, it had been worth bringing Luna just for this. (HBP, US edition, p. 320)

By the way, all these wonderful Harry Potter renderings were done by a wonderfully talented artist named Marta over at Artdungeon.net. She hasn't updated in a while, but what she has on there is absolutely amazing! Check it out!

B.O.R.E.D.

Being bored is pretty much the story of my life. Being bored to death will probably be the last chapter... and at the moment, it feels that may come sooner than later. It's Friday at midnight, and I'm up at college where there's NEVER a dull moment... except right now? I'm all alone... in my room... I've just finished a level of Rollercoaster Tycoon... I've finished off my bag of liccorice bites... Michelle's probably out having a ball on her date... did I mention it's the weekend? Yeah. So I thought I'd write a lame little (oh, what do you call these things!!?) anagram (?) to show you just how bored I am of being bored. Here it goes... and remember, I've been sitting here on my butt doing NOTHING for the past two hours...

B. Brooke is really bored. Bored Brooke. Boring. Next.

O. Oh my gosh. Am I still doing nothing? Holy mother of Pearl.

R. Really? No, really... come save me! "Somebody Saaaaaaaaaave Meeeeee! I don't care how you do it-- Just Saaaaaaaavve Meeeeee!" And now I'm singing to myself.

E. Eggplant is a weird word. How on earth can an egg be a plant?

D. Duh.

Don't all rush to your telephones at once to give me a call and save me from this nothingness... Or do. Whatever. Take your sweet time, peeps. Bread crumbs mi amigo. Hasta.

UPDATE: Tis not an anagram... tis an ACRONYM. Thanks, Britto! I owe ya one!

My Ode to Whatserface!

Hello peoples! This shall be my "Ode to Whatserface." And by "Whatserface," I mean Jesyka/Jorsika/Jorsi/Jessie Poo... the list goes on... But anyways, what I'm trying to say is that I'm making this my Ode to her. Don't make me say it again!!

Ok, so in ode to her, I'm replicating her latest blog in "Brooke-Style." Yeayah! Here it goes:

1. Brooke
This is that cute but quiet girl you'll see sitting next to you in your Literary History class (a.k.a. ENGL 3701). She hardly ever talks except when provoked and/or she has an epiphany about something... but that rarely happens... so don't count on it.

2. Brookie the Cookie
She comes out at night when everyone's asleep... she'll steal your food, your blanket... and your heart! Brookie the Cookie is crazy to the core, and loves dressing up in crazy costumes such as a mental patient from the 80's. But don't worry, she'll bring you along for the ride!

3. G-Wad
This hunk o' junk is a total Guy's Guy if you know what I'm sayin'. She'll party hearty, boogie down, and belch at the dinner table. Just don't get her riled up or she might have to bust a move on your butt!



4. Brooksie Poo
What a sweet-heart! Need I say more?

5. The Brookinator
Nobody is really quite sure what The Brookinator is really like, seeing as she's always comin' up with somethin' new.


6. Twinkle Twirl
Many of you may not even know this, but Brooke is in fact a My Little Pony named Twinkle Twirl. She's pink, purple, and orange... and you know what that means: Total Cutsie Pootsie Insanity! Awwww!
