....like 11 hours a night. Seriously, it's bad. No matter how determined I am at night, I just can't seem to make myself get up in the morning before 10. And then I feel lazy and unproductive...
So today is a snow day, which might lead one to believe that I have a nice opportunity to film this ridiculous challenge Ari gave me. WELL YOU THOUGHT WRONG! My mom teaches at the school I go to which means she is home ALL DAY too. Rawr fingers crossed that she goes to the store so I can at least film my normal video.
But speaking of my mom (don't go there), yesterday she made some really delicious brownies. The smell lured me into the kitchen, but to my disappointment, she had already started washing the brownie mix bowl and spoon, leaving me nothing to lick (seriously, don't go there, I WILL beat you).
My mom, seeing my sadness, said "Oh, I'm sorry." Then she took a spoon out of the drawer, scooped out a big chunk of uncooked brownie mix from the pan, and handed it to me. "Here." I love my mom.
Oh and I bought Percy Jackson and the Olympians at Barnes and Noble yesterday, because I liked the movie, and on the back where the price is, it says "$7.99 US / Priced higher in Canada" Hahaha wow thanks a lot Canada. I love the way it doesn't even tell what that price is, just that's definitely going to be higher.
Oh and I have officially sent out ALL my letters for the TSR girls! Win!
Alright, Anna out, bitches. (Marissa if you're not going to use it, I am. That was a good suggestion, dammit)

PS: I have an interview tonight! For my video for the festival, I'm kind of nervous I've never been interviewed before. I suppose now I'll have a million adoring fans....sigh life was so much simpler when I was just one of the little people. XD

Your Mother Should Know...
Wow there are just so many endless possibilities to completing that sentence, I simply don't know which to choose!
I wasn't going to blog today, but then Marissa pimped me out on her blog, and I felt I should ha. Well to be fair she pimped out all the blogs she follows. She's just a pimp like that. Anyways I felt pretty good after reading the nice things she said about me, and after watching her recent video (really pretty inspirational) I had the urge to blog.
My week has been been pretty average so far, apart from pretty much giving up in Spanish and thus my grade droppage in there. Tomorrow, we have to do a project, in which we make something in front of the class and explain how to do it in Spanish. My friend and I decided to make no-bake cookies, thinking it would be easy and delicious (like your mom), turns out we were pretty wrong though. Apparently they have to be made over an open flame. So instead we made them last night and are mixing paper ingredients in front of the class. Mmm paper.
I should probably go memorize the things I'm suppose to say for that. Pero, no queiro hacerlo.
I missed LOST last night, which is kind of upsetting. And there's not even a oceanic six recap posted for me to watch. Sad face.
OH I wanted to apologize to the TSR (man linking takes EFFORT) girls for not being more...social. Well as social as one can get on the internet. I mean, I often miss your tweets and stuff and I never get on skype anymore. I just always have to get offline and go do homework or something. But it makes me sad, because I really do want to talk to you girls more. So if you get a random FB chat from me, don't be alarmed.
Hm I have waited until the end of the blog to name this, hoping the perfect song would jump out at me. It didn't really work...eeny meeny miny....
Haha ok I choose that one, just because it's hilarious. Seriously go listen to it people. It's one big "yo momma" joke.

I don't really like these shorts exactly, but for some reason they remind me inexplicably of Zoey Deschanel. (click on the picture of the girl wearing them, I think you'll see what I mean.) So I thought I'd link them. Marissa is going to Forever 21 soon. I am jealous.

The Fool on the Hill
...would be me.
Well I deleted my post from yesterday, because I decided some things are too personal and I probably shouldn't broadcast them on the internet. I always think it's stupid how people get upset that people know things about them, even though they're the ones that put it out there for everyone to see. But the truth is, it's pretty easy to get sucked into it.
Yesterday I was just feeling down and had no one around to vent to, and my blog seemed perfect. But I now realize that was a bad decision. But thank you to Lo (for some reason no matter how hard I try, I can't get to your blog to link you Lo...=[) and Marissa, your comments were all I needed =] A little feedback.
Anyways today I am posting a video for TSR and FAS. Ambitious, I know.
Phew, all this linking is making me tired...

Good Day Sunshine
Today's title is both true and not true, it is definitely a good day, but the sunshine, not so much. It doesn't matter though, there's sunshine in my mind!
First I would like to take note of the fact that yesterday my awesome friend Sarah turned 17. She blogs too, go congratulate her on being able to see R rated movies and drive after midnight!
My mood has improved greatly in the last day thanks to one email. A music video my friends and I made about a month ago was selected for our local teen filmmaker festival! I'm so incredibly excited about this, it's going to air on our local access channel and everything! I'm fairly certain everyone who reads this has already seen it, but I'm going to put it here anyways :)
My friends, particularly Jori and Rachel, were absolutely amazing in it, and they were all so great during the filming process. It's really hard to go all out in front of a camera without being self-conscious, but they did it beautifully and the result was fantastic. And it's also pretty awesome that they all agreed to do it, and went along with everything instead pointing out how stupid the whole thing seemed at the time.
IN CONCLUSION, I can't believe how lucky I am to have these people as friends =].
So yeah, life is good, and it doesn't hurt that we have a snow day today! I'm off to write all you squirrel rebel's letters now!
Anna
I would like to take a moment to swear on a Bible that none of the links in this blog are Hankroll's.

Carry That Weight
Marissa commented on my last blog saying I would run out of Beatles songs eventually. But never fear. I have 203 Beatles songs on itunes, so by the time I run out, I most likely will have given up blogging.
The snowcoming dance last night was fun, I'm glad I went, but I wish I had gotten to spend more time with my friends. They are just so awesome, going to the dance because I asked them too. Sometimes I forget how amazing they are :]
Speaking of which, some of my favorite people in the world are going through not fun times right now, including the TSR girls who didn't have a good month and some IRL friends who probably don't want to be mentioned. Anyways, my heart goes out to all of you and I really hope things look up.
Now on to a very serious matter that has been a big part of my life this week. I am of course talking about Marissa's continuing pwnge of me in the Hankroll competition. Somehow she ALWAYS knows when it's coming and I never do. But this is all going to change one day....I WILL get you.
This weekend has been a nice break from a pretty hetic month. Unfortunately, breaks are temporary and I should probably get back to reality and do my homework. There's always something I should be doing, always something weighing down on me. And I've recently realized it will probably be like that for the rest of my life...which is kind of depressing. But it's just something everyone has to come to terms with I think.
That cheery note seems like a good place to end this.

PS: Today I am totally watching Puppy Bowl VI. Have you guys seen it? It's on Animal Planet all day today.

I'm Happy Just To Dance With You
I've just now decided that all of my blogs' titles will be the name of a Beatles song. Clever, no? No? sigh...
So yesterday something happened that never has before--I got asked to snowcoming. Which is kind of pathetic that I have literally never been asked out before this but, whatever. Anyways he is a perfectly nice boy, but although we talk on facebook and we're friendly IRL, I don't really know him at all. And so I was really surprised when he asked me.
I don't know why, but my instinct was to say no. My friends and I had been planning kind of a movie night, so that's what I told him, that I already had plans with my friends. But I really regreted it all through math class, and totally missed the lesson thinking about it. Then in Spanish, my friend, who really is amazing, convinced me it would be ok to tell him I changed my mind and go.
So that's what I did! Even though I kind of feel like a jerk now, because he looked kind of upset when I said no and then I was like, oh jk.
But now I have like my first real date, and I have mixed feelings about it. I mean, it's kind of awkward, I don't know what to say to him at school at all. I feel like I should talk to him more now. But what on earth do I say? And to tell the truth I'd almost rather hang out with my friends and watch movies...at least I know what to expect from them.
And now I feel like I'm in 7th grade since I just spent 5 paragraphs disecting that. Sigh.

If I could, I would wear this dress to the dance.

Bullying
So I should definitely be going to bed instead of blogging, but I was just thinking about a topic that got me so upset I had to write about it. I can't rant about this stuff at school, because I know my friends would just gang up on me and shoot me down. (I love my friends, but this whole "shoot-people-down-without-even-listening-to-them" thing gets less amusing after the 100th time.)
If you don't like it when people rant in blogs, well then I suggest you move along now.
So recently at our school the senior boys have taken to messing with the freshmen. At lunch, they drive them out of the tables and then when they move, they actually throw garbage at them. But the worst part is everyone (I mean EVERYONE, even people I really like and the teachers) thinks it's absolutely hilarious. Am I the ONLY one that sees this as bullying? I mean, freshman year was a really crappy year for me, so I don't think those kids actually need someone to make their life miserable.
But this isn't even really about the freshmen. I mean, it is, kind of, I really wish the senior guys wouldn't do that. Maybe the freshmen ARE really shallow and deserve it, and maybe the bullying doesn't even bother them.
No, what gets me the most is just the fact that everyone in the school looks up to these arrogant, attention-whoring assholes. They are like Gods. They can do no wrong. Even the teachers love them.
Seriously, if someone tells a story and mentions one of these guys, that story is automatically guaranteed a laugh.
Like, normally, if you tell a story in which so-and-so told a really sexist joke, a normal reaction would be: "Wow. That guy's an asshole." But if you replace that name with one of the names of these revered senior 'popular' guys a normal reaction would be: "OMG I can't believe he did that, that is TOO funny."
We like to pretend it's not true, but it is. And worse, I'm no better because I don't do one thing to stand out against this. If I did, I would be hated by the entire school. That's not even an exaggeration. And I really kind of hate myself for not being brave enough to stand up for my principles, but at the same time I know I never will.
If you guys have ever read Pants on Fire by Meg Cabot, I really think the situation at my school is similar to that. I only wish the endings could be the same.
RAWR, sorry I'm so angry but really, it pisses me off. And it's hard to believe I am the only one who sees these guys for what they are, but that's the way it seems.
