Silly Bandz!

Emi Oyamada

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!
