I'll have to say that will always be a personal favorite quote of mine. It's just too true.
Yes, I still watch Spongebob.
Yes, I still have my collection of monkeys from when I was little.
Yes, I kept one of my Carebears because it's a freaking awesome smelly one (tangerine or something).
Yes I try to live my life to the fullest. I have a loud laugh, a big smile. I joke around.
Yes, I will randomly start skipping in public.
Yes, I just ate a McDonald's kids' meal. And yes, I am keeping my purple monkey toy they put in it.
And yes, I am almost 14 years old.
No one likes a boring person, now do we? :)
I'm the kind of person who will be 90 years old. In a retirement home with my best friend, and we'll be coloring with crayons and bickering on whether Cheetos are considered "puffs" or "chips".
Well, sometimes the best way to learn to have fun is from children themselves.
Today at my morning church service, there were two kids getting baptized from the same family: a little baby girl and her older brother (who was probably 7 or 8). Well, as the pastor was going through all the stuff this older kid was getting restless. Suddenly you saw him in the back, all dressed up in his tux, dancing. Jumping up and down, jumping loudly down the stairs, and doing some pretty dang funky moves.
It was quite humorous.
He got the whole congregation laughing, minus a few who probably found it extremely disrespectful. Maybe it was a little, but hey he's a kid and it was pretty funny. I think he found it cool that he was on the tv (our church is large and we use a camera to project what's going on in the front on numerous projectors/tv's across the chapel) and started doing some more dances. One of them looked like an Irish jig, to me...
You could tell the person running the camera was kind of trying to crop him out and focus more on what's going on in the middle. But, he was still visible doing his thing in the back. Thudding around on the steps, making weird faces, and dancing.
Well, thankfully he was very polite when it got to the actual baptism. Both him and his baby sister were, as they got water poured over their heads and walked down the aisle with the pastor.
The point of this little story is that you need to have fun in life. Not necessarily the way this little kid did, because as an adult that's pretty disrespectful. As a kid, it's excusable. But find your own little ways to have fun!
"Never make the same mistake twice. Be creative, make a totally different one!"
Who cares if you get weird looks? People should love you for you.
Hah, if you randomly heard parts of a conversation with my best friend (Joy/Jovi) you'd think we were crazy. And who's to say we aren't? Just not mental institute crazy...yet. :) I mean, my friend hopes she'll die at 97 (or 100 so she could have lived a century) choking on an ice cream cone. She's determined!
We also have fights about how we want ourselves to die first, so we don't have to go through the depressing funeral of seeing a best friend dead. I mean, come on. Funeral's suck enough as they are.
And yes, we spend our days off finger painting, playing Monkey Ball for the GameCube, and doing fan/supermodel poses or dramatic death scenes with the camera. My cousin (Lindsay) and I stayed up till 10 at night sending each other random videos of babies' farting or waffles singing. We webcam and talk to each other in British accents and improvise characters who hate unicorns! And we sent each other pictures of us drawing mustaches on ourselves with our webcams. That's who we are, and we're dang proud!
So remember, sometimes the kids are the ones who can teach you things you have forgotten. I've held onto my childhood, I'm still young. I got a long ways ahead of me. And I will NOT let go of my childish ways...I'll just reserve them a bit as I grow older. Your life is short, HAVE FUN WITH IT! (Just don't be too stupid, lik the guy we witnesses almost get in a crash for driving purposely the wrong way down a one-way street--remember that your life is short enough as it is. You don't wanna end it for something stupid like that).
Even dogs do...my mom caught a relative's dog getting into the chocolates left in the car today. :D
Heck, I really hope they saved that tape from this morning. Because I'm sure that kid's gonna get a lot of crap from his family when he's older.

P.S.-To answer Jovi's question about if an alien approached me, well what would the alien look like? If he was all green how aliens are supposed to look, talking in it's weird "Take me to your leader" voice with his antennas moving...I would probably think I've gone completely mad and run away screaming. (Much like the black man in this video. I'm not racist, it's called descriptive).Honestly, my mind would probably register it was someone pranking (pranking is so a word spellcheck!) me (And not a real alien...I hope) long after I had took off. I am very spazzy (spazzy is a word spellcheck. And spellcheck is a word too!). I jump if I see something moving out of the corner of my eye, think it's a bug. Most of the time it's a bead. Yeah, tell me about it.
You should watch this video too, which is aside the point of this blog but who cares? I'm a random person.
Or, if you have an hour to spare, and you're NOT spending it watching "A Very Potter Musical" on youtube (And yes, I still haven't watched it Jovi and Lindsay. I guess I spend my time doing other worthless things, and I haven't gotten around to it)--watch this one! And petition that Just for Laughs needs to come to America!
...Starting to see how I spend my Friday nights?
And for my question:
You've told numerous people you'd do something "when pigs fly" and you just saw two pigs fly over your garage. What would your thoughts be? Would your fake promises even cross you mind? All of the people in the world promising empty promises with the old "pigs fly" term? Have you even used this term, if so how many promises would you be doing? How many impossible?
(Answer these questions in comments too! And yeah mine's a bit off the wall...I like to call it "unique", "creative", "special", and "unique". Nothing wrong with mixing it up!
And I've added a task. WATCH CELEBRITY APPRENTICE TONIGHT AT 8. I don't care if you have to go to your Grandma's 90th birthday, just do it! (Which I happened to go to my great-grandma's 91st to night :P). On NBC (little jingle).
That is all.
