This kid, I swear. Lovely voice. Very soothing. And I'm writing love letters right now, so his covers of various love songs are a very welcome sound.

HOLY FUCK! - Cattie
HOLY FUCK!!!!! As a believer in the Zodiac, I have always been confused when some sites listed my birthday as Virgo, while others listed me as Libra. Today, my friend found out that I was born on a CUSP - literally "a boundary between zodiac signs and houses". EVERY SINGLE 23rd of a month (like, 23rd of January, 23rd of February, 23rd of September) is a CUSP. So I was born on a cusp! Which means I embody both Virgo and Libra qualities, except I lean towards the Libra qualities more because I was born later in the month rather than in the beginning of the month. What a great discovery :p

Cattie - technology issues
My printer works now. It used to not print red. Now it does. But the levels for magenta, cyan, and yellow (basically, the color ink) is all extremely low. I am not sure why this is, because I have never used it. This makes me slightly angry, because the ink was very expensive and hard to find because I have an old printer. I know I have more colored ink somewhere but I cannot find it. That also makes me angry because it was very expensive. I believe the levels are low because my ink cartridges were leaking, as we found ink stains inside the printer.
And Sarah, ye wonder why I don't like technology :P

Cattie - ancient Greeks
You do not want to be an ancient Greek xD Life was ravished with tragedy, particularly if you are cursed by one of the gods. And yes, the gods often curse various people, for various reasons. Also, if you were an ancient Greek female, and you had a pulse, you were probably raped by Zeus. And if you were in a relationship, well, then you're really fucked xD Let's go over just a few of the couples in ancient Greek times...
Orpheus and Eurydice
After Eurydice died on their wedding day, Orpheus had the chance of a lifetime to bring her back to life, but in typical male fashion, blew it. Then he got ripped apart by dogs. Or drunken women. There are different versions.
Baucis and Philemon
They asked the gods to die together, and instead, the gods turned them into two trees that grew from the same trunk. Nice. Trees. Yup.
Pyramus and Thisbe
Remember Romeo and Juliet? This is them. Greek versions. Except their blood turned into mulberries. Yum!
Now, if you were a Greek hero, there is a ray of light for you. Here are some of the wonderful things heroes did.
Theseus
Forgot to hoist a white sail instead of a black sail as he was returning from victory, so his dad thought Theseus was dead and threw himself off a cliff. W2G! He also ditched his wife.
Hercules
Cursed by Hera, she drove him to kill his wife and two daughters, and then he burns himself to death. And no, not out of grief. He came to death instead of death coming for him, the ultimate show of cockiness.
Jason
After he convinced Medea to betray her father, betray her country, steal the Golden Fleece, and kill her own brother, Jason ditched her for a princess, despite the fact he had two kids by her. Nice dad!
And when you died, the Greek afterlife is called the Fields of Asphodel. Picture a wheat field in Kansas. That goes on. And on. And on. Forever. You just sit there. Forever. In the dark. Forever.
The reason this blog is really long is that it's 12:44am, and I have nothing else to do xD

Saz - School's a comin'.
So school is coming up in... three weeks. I am both excited and nervous, considering I still have to finish my summer reading project. I'm not too worried about it though, I have one book down and this one is really getting me into it or whatever. So, hopefully I will finish that up soon. The other book's assignment was lucky. We have to find important points or quotes and stuff, and I have my dad's old book which is underlined. Lucky indeed.
Starting fresh is a good feeling. I have a new bag, all of my books for the school year, a new binder with ONE single sheet of my many obsessions, and a new attitude. I am going to improve myself not only scholastically and physically, but socially as well. Hopefully, I won't change too much. (:

Cruel and Unusual Punishment
AKA
Summer Reading Homework
The book we have to read, "Mythology", by Edith Hamilton, may just be the most boring collection of Greek Myths in the history of time. These stories are supposed to be ravishing tales of heroes, tragedies, and the ever-philandering womanizer Lord Zeus: yet she has somehow managed to transform the most exciting Greek Myths into the most boring collection of words my eyes have ever had the misfortune to lay upon.
Greek Mythology has long since been one of my most revered and favored topics. I have read the original "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey" by Homer. Those great tomes hold far more appeal than the small, tiny print in this boring novel.
Bah humbug to you, Edith Hamilton. Bah humbug to you.
- Cattie
(I feel the bad karma being generated. Yet I am not at a fault for expressing my utmost opinions. The font in this book is small. Small, and bold. Small, bold, and smudgy. It smudges on my fingers. Oh, the smudge.)

Sazzie Day - by Cattie
"I THOUGHT YOU SAID I WASN'T SEXY ENOUGH FOR YOUR GERMS! AND NOW LOOK! I'M BLOODY SICK!"
Ha, that made my fucken' day xD
I ran into Emily, Saz, and Shannon today when I was at the mall with AnJie! :D How exciting! And I managed to abstain from spending money the entire day. Except I paid $40 for lunch xD I'm trying to...what's the word? Prioritize? Minimize? Ohh, economize!
Well, then I bought a book. But it's educational.
Ha, this other line made my day too xD
"This is worse than the time you got the flu standing in front of the grocery store freezer because the orange juice carton said 'Concentrate'."
Ha, that made my fucken' day xD

Saz likes the name Saz
I'm really diggin' the name Saz. And might I add, when I read you calling me "Sarah-poo" I lawled.
I finally sent out the invitations to my partay! This is going to be quite a small party, lol. We will do so many fun things...maybe. Unless I am the only one having fun and everyone else wants to leave! *spasm* Anyway, Shannon doesn't like pizza apparently, but if I don't get other food I'll MAKE HER EAT IT :K hahaaha jk.
This summer has been quite fun. I've mostly spent it watching Degrassi and iCarly. Speaking of Degrassi, I entered this contest thing to be on it. Whenever I told people they're just like, "Isn't that in Canada?" WELL YESSS, IT IS. AND IDGAF BECAUSE I LOVE THAT SHOW. And acting. Hm.
I actually am getting far in my summer reading! I finished one book last night (yeah, I know, it's late) because my dad said if I finished it by this weekend he would take me to see Public Enemies. SCORE.
The day before my birthday I will probably go out to dinner/lunch with my family at...Hard Rock Cafe. And no, it's not just because the Beatles are all over the wall AND OH MY GOD WHY DOES DEMI LOVATO HAVE A NEW CD? SHE'S SUCH A FUCKING WANNABE SDJHKSJDH. Anyway, back to HRC, see, I've never been there, but it seems fun and right up my ally. As long as they have veggie burgers! :D
I am remodeling my room and it's a lot of fun. WHAT THE FUCK?? HSM LIVE IS COMING HERE? WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO??!?! Anyway, I am painting the walls grey and the furniture white and there's black and red and stuff. Should be awesome when it's done.
Sorry for the random outbursts, the television is on next to me and the stupidness of the commercials are haunting me.
OKAY, SO I AM DYING MY HAIR BLONDE FO SHO. Just gotta figure out when where and who. LOL. Okay, gonna go sort that out now because I NEED TO BE BLONDE D:
Later, skaters.

Cattie - summer post!
Congratulations on our 100th post! It was so fun doing this with you, Sarah-poo :) Our summer blog ROCKS C: On that note, I can't wait to get back to our notebook thing! I reminisced over the summer and read some of the old ones...they were so entertaining x3
Can't wait to come to the birthday party! :3 I'll send you my address <3
Everyone on Facebook has their school schedules except me >F Lzr schedule, why are you not posted yet?! xD
I saw Eurotrip, it was so awesome :3 I think it might be something you'd like, Saz. I mean, Sarah :P Saz is fun, though :P Why is this post so smiley-full o-o
I MISS YOU SO MUCH SAZ! And I miss Shannon too ;~; I saw your new default on Facebook and I felt sad because I hadn't seen her in so long ;-;
UPLOAD, EFFING SCHEDULE, UPLOAD!!!! xD
Well, gotta go tell people to drop their Geometry H class like a hot, radioactive potato.
:)
...The name Saz is starting to REALLY appeal to me xD Could it be Sarah/Mollie can transition to Saz?! SAZ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Heh, that reminds me...
This girl was discussing her marinara pasta and she's all, "Yeah, I hate the red sauce, it's so strong. I like the white, creamy stuff."
[pause]
...Don't well all, baby. Don't we all.
;)

Sarah loves Jim Carrey
I do.
Why?
Because I saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and if you were smart, you'd see it too so we can share the love of Jim Carrey.

Sarah's birthday
So my birthday is coming up next month.
I decided to have a birthday party with a few close friends.
I haven't had one in like 8 years.
LOL.
Anyways, I just made invitations today.
I love making invitations.
I want to throw parties more often.
I need CATHERINE'S mailing address if she is to attend *wink wink*
Then I will send them out and such :)
I love sending mail. The world today is full of new ways of communication that barely anyone mails letters anymore.
That is going to change with me. Starting...NOW.
Wooh.
By the way, sorry about the last post... I just finished watching The Bachelorette tonight and my favourite was sent home. She's such an idiot. Not just because he's my favourite (it's the glasses...they always get me...) but no, she chooses this idiot that dresses horridly over a charming, funny, attractive realtor from Philadelphia. I just don't get it. Maybe she likes unappealing possibly gay men? Is this her fetish? Who knows? I'm sorry, but there is just something wrong with that girl.
Anyways, my reality TV obsession (which I am not too pleased with, trust me) is over for now. American Idol is done, and The Bachelorette is coming to a close, not that I have reason to watch the finale now >.>
If you don't believe me that my guy is any better than...ED... look at this. The eyes, the smile, the sexual innuendo...that's the whole package right there!
Anyways, I should go. Listening to 'The Reaping' by Coheed and Cambria on repeat is making me sleepy. Oh, and it's almost midnight :) Night, all!
~Sarrraahhh
P.S. Wow, I used three paragraphs to describe my love for Reid and hate for Jillian. That's...awesome.
P.P.S. I miss you, Catherine! D:

Let me just say that...
I FUCKING HATE ED. AND JILLIAN.
YOU FUCKING FUCKERS.
ED, YOU'RE AN IDIOT AND YOU DRESS LIKE ONE TOO.
JILLIAN, WHY WOULD YOU GIVE UP SOMEONE AS HOT AND CHARMING AS REID ROSENTHAL?
FUCK YOU BOTH.
That is all :)

Cattie - not MY issues!
Ha, this time it's not MY issues I'm blogging about! xD I'm always blogging about my issues, aren't I. I really have to change that. Because not only is it incredibly negative, I can imagine how incredibly BORING it must be to read about the same woes over and over!
Anyways, this time I'm writing about a friend's serious issues, and boy, can I tell you, SHE HAS ISSUES. I'm SEROUS. They are SERIOUS ISSUES and I mean it xD
I KNOW she wasn't raised to believe that racist comments were acceptable in an American culture. I KNOW she wasn't raised that way. Apparently her "friends" encourage this kind of behavior. Last time I checked, real friends did not encourage their friend to believe they were racially inferior. Sure, she can say she's just joking around. But since when was it considered mentally healthy to consider yourself racially BENEATH other people?
AMERICA = EQUALITY. Anyways, I was holding something over her head while trying to get her to listen, but then I realized that that wasn't the right way to do it, so I gave her back what I was holding hostage. I THINK that is called extortion xD Hey, I had to do what I had to do, but in the end, I realized that that is not the way to go about it.
Anyways, it's sad that our friendship has to come to an end, but there's simply no being friends with someone who is racist or participates in racist jokes (and therefore is racist) EVEN if she is just "joking around". Because really, if she can joke around about this kind of stuff, doesn't that mean that somewhere, deep down, she actually believes it?
Somewhere along the way, amidst all the "joking" between her friends, she has grown to accept and believe that racist comments were okay, and maybe even that she is racially inferior. I mean, just because you're Vietnamese doesn't mean that you're any less of an "Asian" than someone who is Chinese, Japanese, or Korean.
AND if you are Vietnamese, that's no reason to be ashamed of it. I have many Vietnamese friends, and I know they are proud of their heritage, and I LOVE that. No culture is perfect. No country is perfect. Every single country has issues.
But you don't have to believe in your government to believe in your country. And until she starts to believe in hers, there is no way I would ever disgrace MYself by associating myself with her. I am very proud of who I am, and I will not stand for someone who is not.
Anyways, that's my food for thought for the night. From now on, here's to positive, insightful blogs! :) (That are hopefully shorter than this one!)

Sarah loves KAnation
I was really hoping to see performances of Kris' live version of Hey Jude by the Beatles for the tour and KAnation posted it! I'm so excited :) Kris' Beatlemaniacness is quite adorable.
Why do they AI top 10 never tour here? This is one of the reasons I want to live in California. Nobody good ever comes to Hawaii. Ever.
Well...rarely.
Just got back from Kauai last night. The mayor was on the same plane and he hugged me. Awesomeness beckons for that.
Ahhh, Hey Jude was amazing. Still can't get over that...
I need to perform surgery on my Kris doll. He's getting floppy, and I'm going to fix up his face and make him new clothes. Haha.
Don't worry, schoolmates, I will continue to wear him in my jacket Sophomore year :)
Time to watch more Portland videos!
Thanks to all of the people that donated them to KAnation. :D

Sarah's in Kauai
So, I landed on Kauai yesterday. The flight was literally 15 minutes long.
I listened to about three songs on my iPod and my dad told me to turn it off.
Ha.
I'm at this cheap hotel, which is actually pretty decent. We are only paying 80 bucks a night and we have air con, a fridge, hot water, a television with the same channels as home, and internet in the lobby. I'm not in the lobby now because my dad bought an internet adapter that connects via Verizon Wireless connectivity. If that didn't make sense, I'm sorry, but I'm too lazy to re-read this.
Grease is on right now. I think I am going to see what's on TBS... Not that I have anything wrong with the classics, I just need a little bit more humour. Sexual humour.
My grandparents are on the island as well and we hung at their place yesterday, which had three books from the Twilight saga in the bookshelf. I gagged at the look of it. They left me there for five hours to go driving, which I hate. Luckily, they had fast free internet, so I was on my computer the whole time watching Nostalgia Critic, Ask ThatGuy, 5 Second Movies, etc. Tyler didn't post his video of the week until LATER, so I couldn't watch that. It was awesome, as usual. Watched it this morning.
I apologize for the length of my blog posts lately...and always. I just really like writing xD And by that, I don't mean I like writing sappy poems and mediocre stories, I mean I just like the act of writing, typing, and making lines on paper. It's something that makes me happy, so I am very pleased that we have this blog to rant in.
Twitter is really an amazing thing. It gives me a chance to talk to celebrities I admire and they will see it, even if they don't reply. That just feels really great. I would love to get the chance to say something to Kris Allen and get a reply, but I can't beg for it. He's super busy. Today I posted my American Idols Top 5 drawing and a picture of my Kris and Adam dolls on TwitPic. That'd me amazing if they saw my artwork. I would go absolutely insane.
My parents left me in the hotel room once more to go get something to eat. I already ate a bagel this morning, so I'm all equipped.
OMG. NPH. ON THIS COMMERCIAL. I am secretly in love with Neil Patrick Harris. I don't know much about him, and have only seen his show once, but I think he's delicious. Not to mention, I heard he was gay. So double win :)
I am really excited to go to the salon and get my hair done. Once this happens, I will look more like my mother's child than I do today. Hm.
Oh my God, if I see another commercial where it tells me how much animals need our help, I am going to cry. I hate seeing these commercials. It is clinically depressing, seriously. I almost want to ask to join these foundations for my birthday or something. You save animal's lives and hey, a free t-shirt is usually involved. I don't know what it is, but I really like to define myself in other people's minds through the clothing I wear. I love wearing t-shirts advertising something like a movie, band, or company I like. When people see it, they think, Oh, that girl must really like that certain thing, which, I don't know why, but I love to think about. I especially love wearing my Obama shirt or my LiveLavaLive shirt. Something that proves I'm not afraid to share my interests and show pride in liking something that a lot of people haven't heard of. I don't know.
Gosh, I'm writing so much. I am sorry if you're actually reading all of this o_o
Jeez, man. xD
Well, I can't wait to get home to my cats and rabbits. Then maybe I can start on my Summer Reading project WHICH, I DID START. (ahem, read one chapter in one book :D)
Still counts.
Byee.
I listened to about three songs on my iPod and my dad told me to turn it off.
Ha.

Sarah's an uber fan girl today.
Today, I am extra extra fan girly. I don't know why.
I made a doll of Doug Walker, my long term husband.
I hugged it all day.
And watched his videos (Nostalgia Critic)
Tonight, I am reading my favourite articles and quotes by Kris,
while simultaneously staring at my desktop background of him with his rosy cheeks.
Or as my friend calls him, the Chameleon.
Hm. OH WELL.
Here's my favourite excerpt from an article.
I was a huge, huge, huge fan of Michael Jackson. Almost too big of a fan. He’s one of the best ever. I would sit in my room and put on a hat and try to dance in front of the mirror. All this stuff on my own, never in front of people. I was too embarrassed.
Thanks to KA Nation for that one ;D
Kay, bye all.
Sorry for my ranting.
And fangirldom.
