"Celebrate the independence of your nation by blowing up a small part of it."

Lisa Style 4th of July "Like, you know, whatever!" I should wear a tie dye shirt.
I love this quote from The Simpsons episode "Summer of 4 ft. 2". "Celebrate the independence of your nation by blowing up a small part of it."

I used the phrase "chaotic randomness" I hardly ever use that when I talk.
I use it a lot in my writing. 

I did enjoy Conan hosting and talking about the different movies he likes.
He has good taste in movies.

I helped 2 of my cousins make a meez.

Here is a picture of a fountain.

Here is a picture of some crazy ass fireworks some people near where I was.
Were stetting off. 

No Uglies Allowed

Why are looks so more important than talent in a job? Like why is a photo needed to apply for a job to pass out fliers? No uglies allowed? Some of the jobs state that a person just had to be good looking, and ability is not important. (those were not for acting or modeling jobs)

I feel like Moe in the Simpsons episode "Pygmoelain". Maybe if I get some plastic surgery I can get a job as a actress on a tv drama. I hope there are "Sexy Results"! Read by the angel from the future.

Maybe I should go to places where I see ugly people working and apply there. It's worth a try.

Friendship Bracelet Sweatshop

I forgot I wrote this. I found it when I was working on that Glee recipe blog. This blog is a companion blog to Keep the Group Intact Now.

It’s registration time.

Remember I wrote a proposal to my former memoir classmates if they wanted to reform an intact group they would have to pay my fees to get me back into class? Then I remembered about the friendship bracelets. I’m proposing they should to this or something similar. Any handicraft would work if there is a market for it.

Perhaps you know this story or you were involved in it, and put together who wrote this.

I don’t remember all the details of this story, but here is the gist of it. A girl in my class wanted to be a cheerleader, but she didn’t have enough money to pay for it. My teacher was teaching an art class and her class made friendship bracelets out of yarn. At first we just traded the bracelets among each other in the class. Then they became popular throughout the whole school.

One day the teacher brought a bunch of fancy yarn to school, and had us make bracelets to sell. Here’s how the operation worked; the class would make the bracelets, we would hand them off to her where she would burn them to seal them. After they were sealed they were put into bags of 5 and given to us to sell. I think they sold for $0.25 each.

There were some problems first I was bad a making bracelets. I didn’t know how to braid. Nobody taught me, so how was I supposed to know? I just made shoddy “twisty” bracelets. (twirling 2 pieces of yarn together) A lot of the kids did really fancy macramé type stuff. After I did learn how to braid I wanted to braid everything. Ended up braiding the hair on my Barbies, My Little Ponies and any other toy that had hair I could braid.

After a while nobody wanted to buy the bracelets. The market was flooded with them. Then I got sick of making bracelets. There was always time scheduled in the day to make them. A thinly veiled art project.

At first I thought it was a good thing, or at least I did because everybody was telling me it was. My mom thought it wasn’t fair, and I didn’t realize what I was doing until I watched The Simpsons.

I had recently watched the Kamp Krusty episode of The Simpsons. Back then I couldn’t really articulate my ideas very well, and I was trying to say that what we were doing was very similar to the sweatshop scene in that episode except we were making bracelets instead of wallets. The teacher just brushed me off, and said I watched too much tv.

When ever I watch the Kamp Krusty episode I think of the bracelets. I don’t remember if we earned enough money or not or if it subsidized the cost.

The only good thing that came out of this was that I learned how to braid.

You Know all the Right People, You Play all the Right Games

Today is the day my dad is going to the tv station to be on tv during the Laker game. So if you happen to be watching it be on the look out for him if you know what he looks like. Look for the tall, moody blondish gray guy with a mustache. I saw him on tv looking moody and pissed off standing by himself in the background. LOL! Oh yeah this is a local LA based tv show.

I was sort of considering going, but I figured that since sports is really not my thing it wouldn’t be that fun. Plus I’m still not adjusted from the time change. It takes me a long time to do that. He tried to convince that since I’m young. What!? I’m close to 30 that I could adjust to the time change better. According to him I’m not close to 30 I’m in my mid 20s. 26 is not mid 20s it’s late 20s. Mid 20s would be between 23-25. Plus I have an early class tomorrow.

The even is being sponsored by Wing Stop, and I hard the wings there are not that good. Too bad their old sponsor the Flame Broiler is still not sponsoring the show. I would have eaten a beef bowl or something.

To be honest I think I was like his 2nd or 3rd choice. I’m not the first person that comes to mind when my dad thinks or “sports”. It would have been funny if I had gotten advice from a Laker. You know like from a scene in a tv show or something. After what he did to me in August I should be mad at him, and feel like nothing. Also he kept trying to get me out of the house early. I questioned if perhaps I was the victim of an elaborate prank.

Did anybody see The Simpsons yesterday. Simpsonized pikachu was on the show again. Ash was on there too. He was wearing his Kanto outfit. Has Simpsonized Ash been on The Simpsons before?

My dad told me since I was having a test he could help me study for it before school. I don’t need his help. He’s a horrible tutor. I’d have better luck if I slept with the book under my pillow the night before the test.

In the morning before school I heard the Everclear song “Everything to Everyone” on KROQ. They hardly ever play that song anymore. What a fitting song to hear.

My dad wanted me to use this bus card he got at a job fair to save money on the one I currently have. I stupidly left my other bus card at home. When I get to the bus I have a bad feeling that “what if it doesn’t work?”. Well even if it didn’t there was nothing I could do. I was at the bus stop, and I had to go to class. What do you know!? It doesn’t work. So I have to pay the fare with money, my own money. If I didn’t have a test today I would not have gone to class. I just would have gotten off the bus and went home. I should be more careful when I have to take a test. I shouldn’t be doing iffy things like that. You know I should just keep thinking like a pessimist it will keep me out of trouble. I knew one thing that would happen my dad would be mad at me because the card didn’t work. So I knew he would owe me $2 for having me use that bad card. Later I tell him that it was bad, and he owed me $2. Of course he got mad why wouldn’t he? He acted like I was trying to mooch off him. If I was really trying to mooch off him wouldn’t I have aimed for a dollar amount more than $2? But you know I’m stupid and I fucked up and I’ll take that.

Speaking of riding the bus I saw somebody air drumming on the bus. You hardly ever see air drumming! Unless you are watching Fallon or something. Mouthing the words or singing aloud is the most common. Air guitar is uncommon, but not as rare as air drumming. Well that is junior college for you.

The test wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. At least she doesn’t give essay questions. I hate those and so does she. I was one of the first people to finish. You know what they say about the first person to finish the test either they failed it or aced it. Or at least that’s what they use to tell us in high school. Not sure if it’s true though.

Since it’s hot that means I can wear really fun hairstyles. Maybe I’ll wear Shirley braids to school or maybe some odangos. I should refrain from wearing pigtails since I’m close to 30 and that is a really inappropriate hairstyle.

I saw this girl with a really cute pig bag.
