Happy Valentines Day! Love is in the air and so is Dove chocolate. This holiday is celebrated all over the world. I have foreign exchange students in my schoool from Laos and Japan who say that every year they celebrate it too. But, really does anyone know where it comes from? Saint Valentine of course! He was a Saint who was martyred for refusing to give up his religion. On Feburary 13th during Roman times Saint Valentine put up notes, flowers, and let people know how much he was devoted to his faith. In memory we got a holiday called Valentines Day.

Yesterday I felt like I was blind. Seriously, I couldn't see anything, it was terrible.

Sometimes I feel this way...

I could wile away the hours
Confer them with the flowers
Consult them with the brain
And my head I'd be scratching while my bolts were busy hatching
If I only had a brain
I'd unravel every riddle
For any individual
In trouble or in pain
With the thoughts you'd be thinkin' you could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain
Oh I could tell you why the ocean's near the shore
I could think of things I never thought before
And then I'd sit and think some more
I would not be just a nothin'
My head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain
I would dance and be merry
Life would be an ingudarry
If I only had a brain
Gosh it would be awful pleasin' to reason out the reason
For things I can't explain
Then perhaps I'll deserve ya
And be even worthy of ya
If I only had a brain

It's high time I wrote about my college and future plans.

Over the Thanksgiving break, I have been reminded of the cost of my eyes. I developed an eye infection, therefore had to take numerous trips to the eye doctor, as well as use eye drops. It just makes me realize I must take nothing for granted, especially good vision! I also realize nothing in today's soceity is free! I have summed up my costly eyes below:

Glasses: $150
Contact Lenses: $100
Eye Doctor: $32
Eye Drops: $60
20/20 Vision: Priceless

For all you high school haters out there, never fear, it gets better.

Despite the constant talk of college and the dreaded SAT, as a senior this year I have many freedoms; and if you take the right steps, you will too. I've got a press pass for newspaper (which includes free entry to football games), a senior aide pass, and a priveldge pass for NHS. Oh, and my classes end at 12:00 because I take a course at Penn State twice a week, so my afternoons are free. Basically, I can do what I want, when I want. (Well, besides skip class, but who would ever want to do that? hem hem) Anyway, so basically, if high school is giving you a hard time, just wait it out, it gets much better.

Ever wondered how on Earth vegetarians survive? Dum, dum dum dum! (fanfare...kind of hard to tell online, I know) Look no further, SuperVeg is here!

Hey - a dumb idea just popped into my head, so I figured that I could share with everyone.

Imagine if you were a vegetarian and the Fourth of July is comming up. How in the world could you have fun with your friends when all they're eating around you is meat?

OK, I was in art class and the teacher said randomly that rats eat each other when listening to rap music. Here is the whole story:

Scientists did some research and used rats. They wanted to see what would happen to rats while listening to different music. Well, it turned out that the rats really liked the soft slow old music (not like country just really old music). And when they put on rap music the rats started to eat each other. I don't think that rats would do this to each other. I mean just look how cute this rat is!

So, apparently I have a syndrome.

Doesn't that sound just godawful?

Well, when I was very young, I had strabismus. In other words, I had crossed eyes. (The pictures are quite hilarious.) Two eye surgeries, a pair of glasses, and a patch later, I was all fixed.

But apparently, I now see the world differently than everyone else - literally.

Did you know that if you lick an envelope too much you will start to form baby cockroaches in your tounge? I am so afraid of envelopes now.
