I was attacked by a seagull today. No, it did not just follow me around, it flew into my face. I do admit I sounded pretty ridiculous when I shouted out "BIRD". From now on, I will wince whenever one comes within three feet of me. *Shiver* Be afraid, be very afraid.
Speaking of being afraid, I have just discovered Stephen King. His writing is amazing. I thought that he would just be another one of those cliched scary novel writers, but it is truly very good. I highly suggust it, even if it is just reading the style, unique to itself. The book I have just finished is called Misery.
Oh, by the way, pushing the cafe cart is going to be awesome! I am so glad that I decided to volenteer at the hospital. It is turning out to be a very rewarding experience so far.
Question of the Day: What came first, orange or oranges?
This seems like a chicken and egg question, but it actually has an answer. The noun came before the adjective. Oranges first came from latin. In English the first time orange appeared was 1620.

Story of the Day: EU to Ban Selling Eggs by the Dozen
Wait...what? How could you not? I get selling things like fruit or vegstables by weight, but eggs?? It is a tradition! I totally understand why people would be up in arms over this. This will even raise the cost of groceries because producers would have to change all the packaging. It will just confuse everyone too.

MLIA of the Day: "Today I was spinning my beaded necklace around in class instead of taking my final. I hit myself in the eye. Twice. The universe is trying to keep me on track I suppose...Or point out that with the amount of coordination I have, I definitely need good grades. MLIA"

That reminds me of the time my necklace exploded in seventh grade in science class. Hilarious.

Les Miserables
Hey, hey, hey! First night of Les Miserables is now officially over, and it was a ton of fun! Good job guys and I hope that the rest of the shows will be just as good. One thing though: I will be so glad when I can live out of curlers again.
School is almost out (thank goodness), and I can't wait to sleep, though I'll miss everyone there! No more homework, only stupid portfoilios, which are the most idiotic trick at getting the kids to go to the last few days of school ever.
Question of the Day: Why can't I own a Canadian?
Okay, so when ever I started a question with 'why' in google, this came up, and intrigued me greatly. I followed the first link and I found something very interesting. It was a letter from a listener of a radio station replying to something that a personel said. It was a great example of changing tradition over the course of the centuries, and though I am a devout Catholic, made me laugh. My favorite question that they brought up was "Why can't I own a Canadian?" I would check it out if I were you.

Story of the Day: US Players Stuck in Traffic Jam Caused by Elephant
I love the way they started off this article: "Forget getting past England. The U.S. soccer team had to get past the elephants first." It is pretty funny to think that such important people could get detained by an elephant. Read the signs outside of their hotel. South Africa seems like an entirely different world. Good luck U.S.A. today!

Bridal Shower
Bridal showers are fun, with all the girls. Today was my cousin's, and I had a lot of fun. It felt pretty great giving her my present, and being one of the bride's maids to stand by her side. It should definately be a fun wedding.
Les Miserables in Tyngsboorough this week! Just to give an advertisement out to the world. Hope you can come, because it is going to be awesome!

Story of the Day: Child falls from 17th floor of Miami Hotel -- and Survives.
What is with all of these stories lately? People have got to watch their children! These miraculous stories of survival are out of this world. He bounced off a pine tree and landed on the dirt surface on the 10th story pool, a fall of about 80 feet. This makes me want to scream.

MLIA of the Day: "A while back, a friend of mine told me a story that happened to her back in fourth grade. One day in winter, her teacher took teh class out to play in the snow. The teacher brought out snow coloring dye so that the kids co play with colored snow. The kids were having fun, especially with the yellow snow. Hearing the kids' amused remarks about playing with yellow snow, the teacher turns around, mystified, and says, 'I didn't bring yellow dye.' MLIA."

Massachusetts Child Abuse System
MCAS: Massachusetts Child Abuse System That pretty much sums it up. I am just slightly freaking out about it, and hope I do well.
No theater tonight, which is a blessing, because I have to study for the MCAS!!!
Question of the Day: Did Native Americans cut off the noses of adulterous wives?
Yes. Sometimes their hair or ears were cut off instead. What a horrible way to be mutilated!

Ahh!! What is the world coming to? This baby in India is addicted to cigarrettes, and his parents are trying to cut his habit down from 40 a day!!! Ridiculous. Check out the video on youtube, it just makes me sick. You would think by now people would know that smoking is horrible for your body.

Sleep!
Finally! This was the first day this week that I had more than six hours of sleep. Oh, and by the way, thank you Bertha for the awesome code name: Rosa Soenrombry! Try to figure that one out. This weekend will be used to relax, hopefully without too much homework. The only downfall is that I'll be gone all Memorial Day, marching. It better not be too hot out.
Question of the Day: Can you cook eggs with rock music?
Technically yes, if you had it loud enough, which is nearly impossible. There'd have to be special conditions too. Sound, just as a reminder to all my fellow teenagers, can give your brain, and ears, many problems if you listen to it too much, too loud. Be careful!

Story of the Day: Congressman to Pelosi - Give Up Personal Jet
This just infuriates me. Thank goodness this Florida Congressman is doing something about the aweful spenidng on personal jets by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Here are some of the figures: over $101,000 were spent by taxpayers over a two year period, just for "in flight services" on the personal jet the military provided for Pelosi. For just one flight, it costs $28,000. In 2009, the House members spent $8.7 million and the Senate spent $5 million on flights. This new bill would require EVERYONE to take coach. Thank you to Representative Bill Posey, and please get this bill passed!

MLIA of the Day: "Today, my phone rang. When I answered it, I heard nothing on the other end, so I naturally repeated 'Hello' a couple of times.

What's in a name?
Have you ever been introduced to someone and imediately judged them on their name? I have, and it generally does hold to be true. That may seem 'namist" or whatever, but if you think about it, that is naturally the first thing you think about after their physical apperance. A name tells a lot about the background, or possible upbringing, of a person. Does a person named Grace or Candy seem more respectable. Try blocking out a person's name when you meet them. Check out their personality, and see if it matches the name.
Wahoo! Schools almost done. (Just had to get that in there.)
Question of the Day: How do ventriloquists do it?
With enough practice anyone could do it. The techniques are relatively simple, but take an endless amount of practice. This article is quite extensive, so try to bring out the inner voice-thrower in you!

Story of the Day: Two Babies Survive After his Stroller Rolls off Platform and is Struck by a Train in Australia
Have you heard about this? How could people let their babies fall off a platform, into the path of an incoming train!? What is especially frightening is that it happened twice in such a short period of time. Amazingly, both babies survived with little more than bruises. That is a sure miracle. Hopefully there won't be another incident. Come on people, watch your kids.

Yay! It's Friday!
Wahoo! Running in circles..........running in circles........okay, that's enough. Finally, the week of the crazyiness is ended. Something has gone on every day, during the school and day and afterwards, and it has ended at last. I even only went to one class where I did something today, Biology, but, hey, it was a pretty good day. The only downfalls were having my mouth collapse and orange juice spilled all over me.
I hope you all have a great weekend, and won't be spending most of it on homework like I have to. Oh well.
Question of the Day: What are the real lyrics to Louie Louie?
Since parade season is comming up soon, I thought I would give you this insight.
"Louie Louie, me gotta go. Louie Louie, me gotta go. A fine little girl, she wait for me. Me catch the ship across the sea. I sailed the ship all alone. I never think I'll make it home. Louie Louie, me gotta go. Three nights and days we sialed the sea. Me thin kof girl constantly. On the ship, I dream she there. I smell the rose in her hair. Louie Louie, me gotta go. Me see Jamaican moon abovee. It won't be long me see me love. Me take her im my arms and then I tell her I never leave again. Louie Louie, me gotta go." (By Richard Berry.

Story of the Day: The Federal Fat Police: Bill Would Require Government to Track Body Mass of American Children
Oh my goodness gracious. This has gone too far. Yes, it is important that heath be taken care of, and preventative measures be shown, but over stepping kid's rights to privacy, that's a big no-no. I know that I would not want my personal BMI, which, by the way, does not even show how heathy you are, just what your weight is compared to other people, shown to the entire country. What do you think about this, read the article, then comment to let me know.

Limp Lips
Hello everyone. My lips, as you can tell by the title feel like they are going to collapse. As of yet, I have played/sung over 15 hourse of straight music since Monday. AHH! The concert tonight is going to kill me, so if I come in tomorrow and cannot talk, you will all know the reason why.
The exaustion actually got so bad that I went home and fell onto my couch, and my brothers had to wake me up. Yeah, I actually fell asleep. Oops.
I think all my teachers have gone absolutely out of their minds. It seems like they all got together and said, "Alright, the busiest week of Maryrose's year is this week, lets all throw a ton of homework and projects at her to see if she can handle it."
Awesome. (Sarcasim inserted here).
Question of the Day: How many two letter words are accepted in a game of Scrabble?
Now officially, it is 96! Who would have known? So, if you really love the game of Scrabble, take a look at the list in the link below, and you can rub your knowledge into all your friends/families face.

Story of the Day: Another Reason Not to Take Diet Pills
Seriously, people should be happy with the way they are. Not only are they being scammed out of a ton of money, now they have to worry about being poisoned. Diet pills shipped in boxes, bottles and bags could have been secretly loaded with drugs that could kill you, especially products that come from China. These pills could cause high blood pressure, or things as serious as stroke and heart attacks. Be careful what you are putting into yourself. Check out this article:

Band Trip Tomorrow.
I am totally looking forward to the ten to eleven hour drive tomorrow...not. I am, however, extremely thrilled about going to Bush Gardens on Saturday. It should be really awesome, a wonderful experience.
You know that you have some problems when people start quoting you when you speak. My friends have even started to write down stupid stuff that we all say. Ah well.
Today while running around the track at school, I decided to see if I could jump over the hurdles. I could jump over the smallest ones, but the rest, well, let's just say it was an epic failure. Stupid short legs. It was fun trying though.
Question of the Day: Who do men and women's shirts button on different sides?

Question of the Day: Who do men and women's shirts button on different sides?
- According to legend, women button right over left because in medieval times they were dressed by their right handed maids.
- Mens are on the right side because it is easier to button that way for right handed people.
Simple answers. There are more reasons, so look at the link below to find out more.

Almost....maybe...an important event.
*Whistling devilishly* There is nothing going on, say, tomorrow...nooo. Absolutely not. End of story.
*Clearing my throat* Yeah, okay. Now that we've cleared up that fact, on with the post. Since there is nothing to report, except the trip at the end of the week, and I should be doing homework right now, onward!
Question of the Day: What are the six ways to get to first base without hitting the ball?
1.) A walk.
2.) Hit by a pitch.
3.) Dropped third strike.
4.) Catcher's interference.
5.) If the ball thrown goes into the stands, a player's bench, or touched by a spectator.
6.) If the ball gets lodged in any part of the catchers apparatus.

Story of the Day: It's A Miracle!
A mother decided to stop her son's medicine after he was stabbed in the head with a screw driver. Everyone thought he was going to die, but he miraculously got better, and is now on his way to recovery. He can breathe on his own, and talk, when before he was in a coma. Amazing!
