So, I'm making this blog post because I really want a free pack of silly bandz, but I'm sure twenty people have probably emailed them by now, considering how popular they are! I'm trying anyway haha!
I love silly bandz and I am addicted. It's sort of embarrassing, seeing as how I'm going to turn seventeen in two months.
Rob Croak is an epic name, and it's very fitting considering he made the most epic kiddy fad since . . . I don't know, POKEMON CARDS? Honestly, the way I describe silly bandz is: Silly bandz are like Pokemon cards. No one really knows what to do with them, but they collect the cute ones anyway.
Now, this is sort of funny. I live in Ohio, and my mom and I love taking rides. So I'm not just saying this because it's required to say it in order to get a free pack of silly bandz. But anyway, my mom and I took a ride in the country side of Toledo, Ohio just yesterday while I was waiting for it to be time to pick up my best friend for the midnight showing of Eclipse. My mom has a 1992 Toyota Camry, and Toyotas are pretty fuel efficient. Since this one is so old, not so much. But still, it gets pretty good milage. Either way, my mom and I are pretty much gas guzzlers ourselves. We always take rides along the country side in Ohio to look at the scenery. It's really a great thing to do, if your parents are cool enough to not mind "wasting" gas. It really makes you appreciate nature too.
I'm no nature freak, though. I still eat meat like any smart human being. To stay alive, you know. I'm allergic to soy, anyway. If I was a vegetarian (I'm not even going to talk about vegan; that would be ridiculous) I would die. Literally, no meat? I would literally die. I'm not being over dramatic, believe it or not. Soy is a vegetarian's main source of protein, and cheese just don't cut it! (haha cut . . . cheese . . . sorry). Peanut butter is also great for vegetarians, but I'm severely allergic to peanuts. I'm allergic to soy, along with eggs, milk, wheat, nuts, and not to mention a million different environmental allergies. HAH! If you're wondering, yeah. Allergies are a sign of a poor immune system, and that describes me to a T.
Some people are surprised that I'm not a vegetarian, though. Especially when they see my reactions to road kill. Especially if I'm the reason for the road kill! I honestly have a panic attack if it's my fault. Not kidding.
Anyway, the Eclipse movie is really great. I sort of got over Twilight ever since Catherine Hardwicke destroyed all of Stephanie Meyer's values in Twilight. I was so annoyed by that one. Honestly, though (sorry I keep saying honestly, but honestly, it's true haha!) David Slade is an EPIC movie director. He made me love Twilight again. He totally changed my mind about all the actors and actresses in the movies! He obviously directed the actors correctly, because they could actually act the way they were supposed to. David Slade you're my hero! So is Rob Croak, though. I wish I had had the idea of animal shaped rubber bands. So simple, so smart!
Enough of my rants though, right? I'm sure I'm annoying anyone who would care enough to read this whole thing. Have a great summer, everyone!

The Broken Pencil of Annoying
GRR.
So I go to a special school for . . . delinquents, pregnant girls, kids with . . . kids, and well, basically for kids who don't fit in in traditional schooling.
If you have to ask, no, I'm not pregnant and I'm not a delinquent. I get migraines, and traditional school just doesn't work out for me.
Everything is done online, but there are obviously some things you have to do with paper and pencil.
I had to work on this annoying worksheet about note taking; there were no pencils. There were, actually, but they weren't sharpened. I couldn't find a sharpener either.
Eventually, I found a pencil. After three minutes of using it (equivalent to about one sentence), the lead breaks. Remember: no sharpener? So for more than an hour, I'm sitting there using this broken pencil trying to shove the lead back in. It worked for a while, but when I was on the last question, the lead would just not stay in. It was really quiet in the room, and no one was getting up. Obviously, I didn't want to just randomly get up in class to find a new pencil.
Then: Perfect timing, someone gets up to get his worksheet checked by the teacher. Perfect timing for me to get a new pencil. Luckily, I found one that was sharpened. The only one. And it had no eraser. Whatever. So I used that one, and it got dull super quick. The writing was so dull, you can barely read it.
Just to let you all know, never, ever, ever, EVER buy Office Depot brand pencils. They suck.
Anyway, I finished that worksheet and then the power went out about fifteen minutes before school was over. The power came back on pretty quick, but everyone else just started stalling . . . so I did too until I could leave. Haha. Yeah.
Bye losers
p.s., remember to never buy Office Depot pencils. They suck. They really do.

Global Warming
Emi Oyamada
If we didn't have cars, electricity, basically any technology at all, the world would still be warming up.
Imagine, we're all cavemen and cavewomen, living in caves and using fire for heat and to cook. The world would still be warming up, or cooling off. 'Climate Change'. Whatever. Well, instead of, like now, blaming car emissions, we would be blaming fire. Instead of people saying we should use over-priced hybrids, they would tell us to cut down on fire. Any lost toes due to frost bite would simply be a step towards helping the environment, saving the future for the next generation, and preserving the Earth.
Sound familiar? Yeah.
Global warming/"climate change" does not exist the way the media says it does. Yes, the world is "warming up" or "cooling off", I'm sure. But I don't think it's due to car emissions or any of our current technology.
The universe is ever-expanding (if the big-bang theory is in fact, true), so who is to say they truly understand the universe's ever-expanding trends? I'm sure the Earth has certain patterns. For example, it's possible every fifty-or-so years the Earth gets warmer or colder. This winter, where I currently live, we had record snowfall. We beat the record from 1910. One hundred years ago, precisely. Coincidence? I doubt it. And is it really global warming when I'm talking about record snow fall? No.
It's been proven that the Earth warms up when the sun has an occurence known as a solar flare. So until there is some hard proof (besides that it's been "hotter" lately), stop pushing global warming.
Yes, we should use hybrids. No, they shouldn't be so expensive. The technology for hydro-powered cars has been around for decades. Hydro-powered would surely be better than hybrids. Are they available to the public? Not really. Are hybrids? Yes. But why should we buy a hybrid car if we can get something for much cheaper? We're currently in a very bad financial fix in America and we can't just go around spending loads of cash on a car that may or may not help our environment.
Stop whining about global warming and go help some starving orphans living on your own streets. Trust me, they're everywhere. So rather than help some polar bear that's thriving in some other country, lets help the hungry that are in our own country first. Then we can help out some other country. Honestly.
Sorry for the rant,
Emi
