Happy Valentines Day!

This is www.cocojuniper.blogspot.com's first Valentine's Day! Or, it was, a couple days ago, but i was too lazy to post a post on it. But here it is now. Happy Valentine's Day!

When I was in grade school, we would donate a whole 45 minutes or so to trading valentines. Since the teacher MADE you giv one to every single student in the class, u ended up with a mighty fine pile of lollypop/candyheart/cheesy valentine cards. Which was great. I remember I would go and buy a big packet of valentine cards for my class. I remember one year, i did Harry Potter themed cards. They had cheesy expressions like "you have me undr your spell!" and other bad puns. When my brother Bramble came home with an empty box of Indiana Jones valentines, it inspired me. I created- vola!- my own line of valentine cards!

Beautiful. I Love It!

Well, not many people do that anymore. And the teachers don't care who you give your valentine's too. So, you don't usually end up with all that sugary plop like you used to. And half the "valentines" i got were miniature tootsie pops that i wolfed down in a second. And some lollypops. But the one material valentine i DID get was from Synchro.


It...confused me. Deeply. And bothered me lots.

It's not like she pre went and filled in EVERYONE'S name in the little slots. She just handed them out, blankly, to everyone. But still. Something about me just SCREAMS freak chimp in lipstick. Apparently. And that's what bothers me.

But I still like it.

"Happy" Birthday, Ronnie!

Today is Ronnie Va...something's birthday! Apparently. He's turning 33 so me, CamoLambo/Mrs.Flowers, and RAH made a cake for him. I am craving it now for whatever reason.

(Oh, and he turned 33 today. Kinda explains the two giant threes, hmm?)

It was my idea to put some Coca Cola in it to make it taste extra yummy and it sure did pay off. ;) Yum. And then we decorated the top with some really icky-gooey icing. Camo wrote "The Killers" on it, while putting random blobs of green all around while i did a mighty fine portrait of Ronnie. And it tasted good. RAH and Camo started getting exasperated by my nerdy-tech-obsession to film absolutely everything (lucky for them i remembered to bring my video camera in the first place). And then Camo wanted to show us some youtube video on Brandon laughing. {Click here.}

For the record I was slightly disturbed. Not in a bad way, but in a o.my.god. kind of way. Yep.

and just to be able to somehow fit the "celebrity" look alike label into this post, I'm going to show you what a magnificent job I did with the portrait of Ronnie's face, compared to the real deal.

Toy Food!

Okay, the "What is Love?" Pepsi Commercial that has been floating around the bottom of the page on the side-bar is becoming old. SO...here's a NEW video to think about!

Go here to see Neil Cicierega sing about Toy Food. If you don't know who he is, Neil is the person that is responsible for making the Potter Puppet Pals. And if you don't know what THAT is, I cannot help you.

Ninjas or Pirates?

It takes a lot of persistence, insight, and deep logical thinking to make a children's movie incredibly freaky, but I think the maximum level has been achieved here. ->

My brother has this little cheap plastic watch thing that he got in a goodie-bag from a party several years back. The little triggered alarm in it is absolutely determined to believe that somehow the universe would crumble to bits if it didn't go off every 3 minutes. (don't ask me how it still works, centuries later. I hav no idea.) It's been around for like as long as i can remember, and in many attempts I and the rest of the family have been trying to get rid of it. And, obviously our attempts didn't work, for it's still here, February 14th, it is still here. And it's been going off all day and im really annoyed.

And saying the date aloud has reminded me--- happy valentine's day! thank you all for doing the poll, i am sorry if you're the person who said he/she "hates love". U hav my sympathy. :) Look forward to another post coming up about valentine's day. I would do it right now but I'm too lazy.

Okay I looked around my labels that i can use for a post, and i happen to see one called "debate." In the whole two months, i hav only used it once. So...let's get a debate going on here and now!

NINJAS or PIRATES?

and that's my question for you. I will return on the matter in a day or two.

(GRR! the stupid alarm went off again!)

Don't forget to take the poll at the bottom of the page! ^_^ I had a lot of fun customizing the options for this one. heehee. anyway, be sure to comment on ninjas and pirates. comments, comments, comments!

Eight Questions...ANSWERED!

Okay, so I looked over all of your answers for the Eight Question contest. And, for the most part they were awesome! I luv hearing from you guys.

Actually, it was pretty evenly distributed. Some of you rocked one question, others had another, and so on....

When i was reading them i was looking for something that was intriguing. it helped if it was funny, but it didn't hav to be. Also, to make it clear, I did not choose the winners by how much I agree with what they're saying. I chose them because they were intriguing (but mainly funny). And, it was very very hard to pick the winner. So, before i announce who it is...*and don't you dare scroll down and peek*....i'll do the smaller awards. specifically for a certain category.

#1 winner: CamoLambo
In a sense. The Beatles were musical legends. They sort of formed pop, and some rock, music for generations to come. Some of my favorite bands would sound totally different if it weren't for them. So, I'll say...partly. The Beatles were one of those bands that took the world by storm, and continue to do so. Their music is timeless. Although, I do prefer other bands to The Beatles, but I can't exactly say The Killers and Muse have the musical status they've reached, yet. But, if we're talking musical legends, it's Rolling Stones all the way!

#2 winner: Dark Fire Moon
It is good if a vacum really sucks because it is a good logo for a sports team. "Luigi's vacums. WE SUCK!" And then if vacums didn't have a sucking force, tehn our houses would be very dirty...

#3 winner: Pebbles
ALICE CULLEN!!! do u need any explination? k, u do. Here it is:
She is totally pwnsome!

(is that a typo? Because even if it is, pwnsome is still a cool word. By regular rules of judging this should not hav won because this is way too short, but pwnsome is a SUCH a cool word that I'm giving it to you. Huh. Oh, and did u do "pwnsome" like that on purpose? Like did u hear that from somewhere else? Just curious. Oh, and if it IS a typo...too late. You've already made #3 winner. No going back now...^_^)

#4 winner: Grr, none of you are awesome enough for #4 title, none of you did this!!! I am diappointed in all of you! :'( Not one of you! Noooooo!

#5 winner: Pebbles
Either "They make you live forever" "They cure cancer" or (if he is bald) "They grow hair!" if not, then i would put on my totally inoccent girl scout face and say "wud u plz by sum gs cookies? Theyll help me win a bike!"

#6 winner: CamoLambo
I'd cunningly insert my hate of the artist into the music video. For example, in the video, Pete Wentz would get a haircut, and die his hair blonde, and then wander around in a pink suit with a sign saying "My name is Pete Wentz and I'm a fake emo kid and I think Brandon Flowers is a million times better than me!" but do it arty and creatively, so it looks all deep and moody.

#7 winner: CamoLambo
Stephenie Meyer! We all know Ronnie would never do such a thing! Ronnie is, possibly, one of the nicest, funniest musicians out there at the moment.Demi Lovato dosn't have the brains to do such a thing, Sandy Cheeks is 2D, and David Cook is too busy making out with Jill(A friend). As stated previously, Harry Potter is pretty much Twilight's only big competitor. So, doesn't it seem obvious that Meyer would want to kidnap the star? The cold-blooded ,fake Muse loving, pathetic, untalented "writer" simply wants to remove all competition, so she can sickeningly entance more teenage girls into her little world of sparkly boys and fake teenage love. And that's my case.

#8 winner: Livielove
DV= Darth vador DV: COME TO THE DARK SIDE!!!! me: Why??? DV: WE have cookies (in a sweet inocent voice) me:me mmmm i like cookies but... DV:BUT WHAT COME TO THE DARK SIDE NOW AND GET YOUR COOKIES!!
ME: but but i like cupcakes betta DV: o we dont hav cupcakes ME: but the good side does DV: do you have vannillla? Me: yes DV okay im joining the good side now!! :)

(this was a little hard to read at first. But that's okay ^_^)

Ready? Scroll Down now for the name of the winner. ANY comments or ANY questions or ANY suggestions or ANY whatever, can be put in the comments box. All ur love...hate...but let's hope for love right?...goes in the COMMENTS box. Or CBox. I'm not picky. Okay...here we go......

Advice Column...Again

Remember how I promised, oh way back when, that i would start an advice column at the side-bar. It would have random musings, short stories, comments on life, pictures, questions sometimes, quotes from other people, jokes maybe, whatever i find interesting at the time, etc. etc. In the past I've neglected it, forgetting to change it, until at one point it just came down for good.

Not any more.

Okay, I am TOTALLY serious about it now. I'm absolutely not going to change it everyday, but every few days, every week, you can count on advice.

you know, advice that may or may not have been twisted and corrupted to the point where it's just useless crud. But I'm fine with that, and i judge u r too.

So, know that the advice column is back.

Just know that.

ENTRIES FOR THE EIGHT QUESTION CONTEST ARE DUE WEDNESDAY! HURRY, HURRY! I'M COUNTING ON YOOUUUUUU GUUUUUUUUYYYYYYYSSSSSS............!!!

The Eight Question Contest *Closed*

I have eight questions. Use the comments box to answer at least three of them. Go wild. Whatever. (Sorry, i overused the 'music' theme.)

1) I have googled "best musician" in so many words a bunch of times, and overall the artist that was averagely the most favored was "The Beatles". Do you approve? Why?

***alternate question*** Pretend you are another member to the Beatles. What changes would you make? What instrument would you play?

2) "Is it good if a vacum really sucks?" Explain.

3) If you could play a part in any movie, any movie at all, what movie would you wish to be in? And, what part/role in the movie would best suit you?

4) You're a multi-million-hit music artist with a new hit single called "Caramel Apples of Doom" or "Under the Magnifying Glass" (whichever is easier to you.) Write the chorus, or a verse, to your new song.

5) You're selling chocolate bars to a millionaire who hates chocolate. What would you say to convince him to buy one?

6) You're directing a music video for *insert a name of an artist you really, really, really hate*. What would you do to keep your opinions from getting in the way of your career? Wait, you ARE going to keep your opinions to yourself, right? Right?

7) Out of the blue- Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter boy) disappears! There are quite a few prime suspects to his kidknapping: Stephenie Meyer (*looks at liveilove*), Ronnie from the Killers (*looks at Camo*), Demi Lovato (*looks at Pebbles*), Sandy Cheeks (from Spongebob, okay, i know this is random but it's all i got), and David Cook (i just threw this guy at the end randomly.). Who would you suspect to be the kidknapper? Why? And how would you prove it?

8) Pretend you're in STAR WARS. Darth Vader is begging you to join the dark side. Write a conversation between you and him.

Whoever i think has the wittiest, most creative, most sincere, most interesting, most amazing, most weird, answer will get an honorable mention. And, they get the liberty of being able to change the blog title from CJ Forever to whatever they want for ONE WEEK. You have to answer at least three out of the eight, or you won't get credit. You can pick any one you want. Be sure to number which ones your doing. Good Luck!

Just Another Update...

Okay, so i didn't post at all yesterday. Or go on CBox. Or touch the computer @ all. Which was weird, and like a first.

Just here to clue you in a bit on my personal life (or it really isn't my personal life anymore, but whatever).

I got my Herbst Device out Wednesday (or as you might know them as "tentacles") and the bottom row of braces on too. It was a lot more painful than i remember them when i got my top row glued on. Half the time my orthodontist had to say "Okay, STOP biting my finger," but i really couldn't help it. When other people sweat when they get nervous, or fidgit, I bite. Hard. Especially if there's something fat and meaty in my mouth.

I switched seats in science. My science teacher has a special way of picking seats. Everyone draws an uno card, and for whatever number the uno card has on it, u hav to sit at that table. I got a "6" card, so when he told all the people going to the number-six-table to stand up, basically my whole table did.

NOT FAIR.

I had been looking forward to switching seats and getting away from them for ages. So now i'll be with them for a whole nother semester. GRRR

On Friday, me and Volleyball-Player went to a church thing at 7'o'clock. Which sounds like a strange thing to do on a Friday evening. Actually my church is really cool. Instead of it being an extra sunday school thing, it's basically a Youth Group. Meaning, you just play games (for example: Capture the flag when it's warm, and Sardines when it's cold out) do contests, and win prizes. Volley actually had to do a "fluff and candy hearts eating contest" and since it was February, the month of Valentines and love (*snort*) they decided to mix it up a bit. They got a very thin piece of clear plastic with a bit of fluff smeared on each side with candy hearts on that. Then, she and another guy had to race to see who could eat off all the candy hearts. It looked so awkward. All the while the counselers were bopping about shouting things like "easy there, you hardly know eachother!" and "Wooohooo!" Then some girls took out their cellphones and started to snap pictures. Which may end out badly. The other guy won, and as a trophy to his victory, he was given....a Digimon Set! (Which brought back memories from when i was a naive little kid who used to wake up almost every Saturday morning a FOUR to watch the Digimon Show. Wow, i was strange.) This is probably because Jonathan- the leader of the games and stuff- has a few toddler sons that love Digimon. It was probably meant to be a Christmas present, but he changed his mind half way. Reduce Reuse Recycle!
I was sad because i never got any prize. I don't know why. I'm just like that.

Yesturday, i didn't do much. I watched a lot of T.V., ate some crystalized sugary Pineapple, and then went to the mall to find a present for a friend's party. I wasn't sure what to get her. There was this Katy Perry shirt on sale, and i was wondering whether she'd like it. In this universe, u either LOVE Katy Perry, or you HATE it. I wasn't sure where she'd play up on this scale, but then i reminded myself that it was on sale, and that ended that.

Then, that night i went and played soccer. Which sucked. My team is bottom of the league (but i really don't like to talk about it...) and this was our final chance to redeem ourselves. It was a 30'minute'match. Us, vs. the people at the TOP of the league. *gulp* we knew it would end badly from the start, so it wasn't a huge surprise when we lost. badly.

Liiiiiiick the Cooooone Luuuuuuke, Lick the Cone!

Tell you a secret now...

I use these random LOLcats pictures when i has nothing else to write about. Shocker, huh?

What? Is it really that obvious?

Daaaaaaaang.




oh, and remember that time i would stop cheaply giving u cat pictures when wat u really want is a good, professional Coco Juniper post?

Yeah. Writing. NOT working for me at the moment. But if you leave a message i'm sure i can get back to you later. *smiles*

and here we go again....


Makes sense. :)



Go on. Do as the nice man says. We're waiting.

and this is of course where my VERY WITTY AND THOUGHT OUT title comes from. Oh, and the Star Wars scene. *snaps finger* you'll have to scroll way down.




mmhmmm? yeah, you work on that. *pats on head*



nothing much to say here. except maybe- "IRONY! OOH! WE HAS IT!"



that face....

Freakiest.

Cat.

Evar.



is a comment here really necessary?



Sweetness.



Hmm. Well...that's strange.



Jabba the hutt needs shave now.

Pip the Angsty Math Student, and A Guy in a Rubix Cube

In Math class we're starting a whole new unit on "spacial stuff". For today's lesson, for- you know- a bit of some loose room from after all that pressuring Research Paper and Theatre of Marcellus (hah. Phillips. hah.). She showed us, firstly how to make a box. There are eleven different ways on how to make a box (a cube) and after showing us one, she gave us some graph paper and told us to try and find the other ten.

I was on a roll. Spitting out different designs by the second, whew!

A boy at my table who I will call Pip (because his initials are P.P. so...P.P.=Pip! Tadah! Oh, and speaking of Pip, who ever is leaving those weird Pip comments in the comments box should probably stop. It's bugging me. Slightly) is supr competitive. And he got wicked aggravated at me, and my smart-spacial-thinking-senses. Whenever he would find the next one, he would show it to my math teacher, only for him to find that i had actually just come up with that and he's a few seconds late. Here's how it went

Me: Here! Done!
Teacher: Well done! You can put that design up on the board.
Pip: Whew! Finally, done!
Teacher: Awh, I'm sorry Pip. Coco already found that.
Pip: Oh...oh, okay.

...

Me: Wahoo! Another one!
Teacher: Wow, Coco. Impressive!
Pip: Not as impressive as mine!
Teacher: Oh, whoops Pip. You're too late. Coco beat you again.

...

Me: tadah!
Teacher: You're on a roll today, Coco!
Pip: TEACHER! TEACHER!
Teacher: Pip?
Pip: *gasping* Is mine right?
Teacher: Oohhh...um, Pip?
Pip: *frustrated- angry* what?
Teacher: Coco already got that.
Pip: WHAT?!?!

...

Pip: Teacher!
Teacher: There you are Pip.
Pip: Okay, tell me, is this right?
Teacher: Why yes, yes it is.
Pip: VICTORY!
Teacher: Wait, where are you going?
Pip: *confused* to put it on the board...?
Teacher: *chuckling nervously* Uh, *chuckle* no, sorry. That's already been taken.
Pip: What? *turns to look at me* YOU!
Me: What? I didn't put it up!
Pip: *hopeful again* really? *turns to Teacher* see, she didn't use it!
Teacher: No, but uh, Maddie did.
Maddie: *waves*
Pip: *silently walks back to his seat.* *bangs head on desk*
Teacher: *chuckles* heh, oh dear.

Don't forget the poll at the bottom of the page! Oh, and here's a picture of a guy in a rubix cube.


What are you talking about? Oh course it's relevent!

Dear Mr. Brandon Flowers...

CamoLambo was trying to think of some questions to ask the Killers (u should know who these people r by now, seriously) for The Victims (a fan site, apparently). They hav this inbox so that u can type in some of your burning questions. She wants to put in alot so that there is a higher chance that hers will get picked. I helped her pick out some questions by giving her a few of my own.

"Boxers or briefs?" It would be funny to see their reaction to this perfectly random and somewhat personal question.

"If you were stranded on a deserted island with only your bandmates, who would you eat first?" Cannibalian question. But, it would be very funny to see their response. Gawsh, i hope i don't end up splitting the up the band this way. :-/

"If you met Bruce Springsteen in a broken down elevator, what would you say to him? And what would you guess he'd say back?" The Killers: We're in a broken down elevator.... Bruce Springsteen: Yup.

"If you met President Obama in a broken down elevator, what would you say to him?" So...what about that Global Warming, eh? Uhm...yeah. Oh, and the economy. Yup.

"And Britney Spears?" Nothing. I'd just inch away SLOWLY.


Okay guys, now it's YOUR turn. Use the comments box to post up your best answers of what you think THEY might reply as. Or, even better!, come up with your own questions that you'd ask your celebrity/role model/favorite singer/whatever, and even what you think THEY might say back. And, i'll be in the CBox to talk about it, kay? And....GO!

CBox

Over on the side-bar u'll notice a new contraption.

I dub it- CBox.

(not that i hav much of a choice, that's the name it came from.)

I take my blog very seriously. I was suspicious of CBox at first, but after some very close and cautious investigations i have come to the conclusion that CBox is safe and spam-free and CocoJuniper worthy. I promise, i do my research. Seriously!! I mean it.

BUT!!!!

There are some flaws. And, i am writing them now, so there's no misunderstanding.

1) u can post a comment on it. anyone can do it. keep that in mind.

2) u don't hav to sign in or log in to post a comment. hopefully you're all good *halo* people, and won't impersonate eachother or me, so....IM WATCHING U.

as soon as someone starts to impersonate me on the CBox, it is coming down for good.

3) when it asks u for ur URL or Email please note this is OPTIONAL. OPTIONAL. So, i highly advise not to put ur email address on it. If u want, u can put the address of ur blog so whoever clicks it is sent a link 2 ur blog, but that's it. Or, like i do, u can just leav it blank. :)


So, let's see how this works out, shall we? Post a comment here to tell me if u like it.

Cacophobia, Important Polls, and George Bush's Big Break

Before you read on, scroll down to the bottom of the page and answer the poll. Remember, it's COMPLETELY anonymous, so be sure to be COMPLETELY honest. Seriously, i put that poll up so i can learn from you guys. I put that poll up knowing that some people may not like some aspects of my blog. I can take it. Bring it on. >.<
"George Bush is Out of the Office. So shut up, America. You've Got Nobody to Blame." This is George Bush's big break. After so many years...*shakes head* happy retirement Mr. Former President Sir!

Oh, i found out something new too:
Cacophobia: Fear of Ugliness

and Mageirocophobia: Fear of Cooking

My Good Old Hyperventilating Partner

Hey yo. Nuthin' much happening. I had to work non-stop all day for 5 periods. I had to build the Theatre of Marcellus with a partner that was assigned to us, and finish it today. It was a testy time. My partner (which i will graciously, for this time call Phillips) was going into depression. Phillips 1) thought our model was horrible. 2) thought we didn't have enough time to finish it. and 3) hated the project from the start. He worked in a kindof raincloud, every now and again muttering about how we're going to fail, how this will affect his grades, and how he'll never get into Phillips (his dream school.)

I'm an optimist, so obviously i would think that he was just being dumpy and needed to get some sun. and sleep.

his mood didn't improve when we saw our competition. There are two groups constructing the Theatre of Marcellus, and the other group was basically finished with theirs.

It. Was. Gorgeous.

Beautifully constructed, killer detail, laser precision. Awwww, that's good. So, now my bubble of confidence got popped and we were both now stuck in despair. i didn't think we'd fail. Never. No, i was worried that we would blow over and come second-best to the other group.

Mr. Zee the art teacher came and bailed us out slightly, helping us with our paper mache a little. Still, now with all the layers of paint on it, i think it looks a lot like a chocolate cake. Especially with a bit of white paint sponged on at the front as frosting. Which made me hungry. Which made me even more miserable.

It was a long five periods.

My math teacher came in and investigated about half-way through. She took one look at our work and said with a half skeptical half appalled voice:

"It's big."

She stared at it for a few moments, then echoed it again. She was right of course. It's probably about 7 times bigger than the competition. It took both me and Phillips to lug it up the stairs to the art room, and down again. I was hoping that the largeness would make it more impressive, more eye-catching, better. But *sigh* i guess we're going to have to win her over with our chocolate-cake paint job, eh?

Well, the good news is that my math teacher promised us that we'll have the rest of the week to finish it. She kindof understands. She understands that a) she's given us THE hardest structure to build with all the stupid domes and loops and angles...b) we have never been looking forward to this from the start. so she was sympathetic. she told Phillips to chill and stop hyperventilating.

Not Likely.

My Experiance @ a Chili Fest (Oh, You Know This is Going to be Good.)

I went to a chili fest last night.

Yeee-ahh

I wasn't looking forward to it. I'm not a big fan of chili, and my brothers and I sitting togethr at a table with the rest of our church while they rapidly consume bean goodness is not my first choice of company. 99.9% of the time my mum went out and socialized with old people, and there were no more open tables left-- so me and my brothers had to eat quietly in a corner. Quietly being me, seeing as Bramble and Lizic couldn't keep their mouth closed if you duct-taped it.

So why does it feel like I was having fun?

Probably the beans. X.X

The chilis were pretty good. Very very good. It was a nice change to be off my mum's cooking for a while. You went down a line of tables where each family had a great big pot of chili, and you can pick and choose from them. There were little cups that they ladeled their warm concoctions in, and i had about 5 mini bowls (each one being slightly smaller than my fist) of chili. I was caught completely off guard. You would have thought that all those small old ladies, or little children in party dresses would play it safe, making a perfectly mild and refreshing chili dish? WRONG. I took this shrimp-y one that was super good and i chugged the whole thing down in a minute. waited 30 seconds. then....

*block your ears*

it was the hottest thing i have ever tasted ever.

Then, when you were done with that, you were given a piece of paper where you judge and vote on your favorite chilis. The winning chili-chefs won a certificut and a bottle of hot-sauce. (huh, funny? NOT WHEN YOUR TONSILS ARE BLEEDING. !!!!! *fire in eyes*)

so, that's that, i guess. i felt poorely after the chili fest and even more nautious in the car ride home. (luckily i didn't puke. but it was close. x.x) i huddled up on the couch, with a trash bin right by me (just in case) in my winter jacket (idk, it made me feel good inside). and then i watched a really old British comedy from the 80s' that my mum thought would b good for us, and slept the night away like a baby. that's about it.

It's a Small World After All...

It's summer vacation and you're taking a luxurious air-line cruise with your family to the Bahamas. Coincidentally, you happen to sit next to Billy Ray Cyrus (Miley Cyrus' father.) What would you say to him?

This is what i'd say.

Me: So...You're Billy Ray Cyrus?
Bill: Yup.
Me:...nice...um, i hear you used to have a mullet.
Bill: Yup.
Me:...so, umm, did you enjoy having a mullet?
Bill: Leave me alone, kid.
Me: no, no, i don't mean to be bothering you. I just wondered. I mean...wow, you're Billy Ray Cyrus. The mullet man!
Bill: Excuse me, but i have many other qualities too. Like music...
Me: mullet
Bill: singing...
Me: mullet
Bill: guitar...
Me: mullet
Bill: country...
Me: mullet
Bill: Look, lady, what do you want from me?!
Me: Can I have your autograph?
Bill: *grumbling* Gawsh dang kids these days *more grumblings*, okay, where do you want me to sign it?
Me: how 'bout on this sick bag?
Bill: *still grumbling* Okay...
Me: No!
Bill: What?!
Me: Stop! Not like that!
Bill: What?! *angry now*
Me: No, no! Sorry. Didn't mean to make you mad. ...Er...you can sign it, "to Coco, from Mullet Man" please.
Bill: That's it! *rips up sick bag*
Me: *shocked* you...you are one meeeeeean celebrity.
Bill: Leave me alone!
Me: Okay, but if i feel woozy, i'm using your sick-bag.
Bill: That's it. *puts in ear-plugs* Good-night, kid!
Me: ...sorry...sir
Bill: *grumblings*
Me: i hate your daughter by the way. Hannah Montana.
Bill: *grumbles*
Me: that's what i thought.

I asked my friends what they'd do. DFM conjured up a particularily violent scene. Umm, i won't go into that.

You're taking the bus to New York, and you happen to pick a passanger's seat next to Barack Obama. It's the day before the inaugeration. What would you say to him?

This is me:

Me: *surprised* Obama!
Obama: What!? *jumps*
Me: sorry, didn't mean to surprise you.
Obama: no, no, i wasn't surprised. It's alright. What's your name?
Me: Oh, I'm Coco. And I know who you are, um, obviously.
Obama: *chuckles* Well, hello Coco.
Me: I just want to say, I'm really looking forward to the inaugeration.
Obama: that's great.
Me: I really hope you do great.
Obama: you're pretty unusual for a teenager. What are your hobbies?
Me: um, movie-making, blogging....
Obama: you have a blog?
Me: yes, cocojuniper.blogspot.com
Obama: I used to blog when I was young.
Me: Really?
Obama: *chuckles* yes...i don't know if i was as good as you.
Me: wow. What was it called? Your blog?
Obama: um, chuckles101 or something or another, .blogspot.com
Me: ...
Obama: pretty strange to be hearing that from someone that's about to be a president tommorow, eh?
Me: I won't lie- it's very strange.
Obama: Heh, well you'll have to remember that despite me being the president, i'm still a citizen deep inside. A little boy of 14- Chuckles he was called by his peers- from hawaii.
Me: yes, oh! this is my stop. Thank you, mr. president, sir.
Obama: Nice talking to you Coco.
Me: Yes...just one thing...how did you get the nickname "Chuckles?"
Obama: ...
Me: personal?
Obama: very
Me: Okay...bye then.
Obama: bye

CD Confessions, Random Emicons, Plus a Heck of a Lot of Plain-White-T's

Beautiful. I Luv it. At first i thought all the rows were exactly the same, but if you look close that's not the case. Start from the top of one row, and as your eyes roam down, the still-motion animation takes place.

CONFESSION TIME: (y do i hav deja vu?) I don't have many CDs. I never really needed one with my iPod taking all the charges. iPods are more handy, the songs are a buck each, and i luv my iPod. But, like i said before i believe, there r kindof a drawback of having no CDs. Like, you having no music for mm-ing. The only CDs I do have are a precious few. Many of which i am not proud of.

Plain White T's: BIG BAD WORLD
what can i say about this? Well, i was wandering about the mall with no direction, and then i hear there's a special deal on CDs in Aeropostle. I normally don't go in Aerpostle, but i luv sales and i need CDs (see the paragraph above). The teenage-boy-store-clerk-dude says that you get a free t-shirt with a picture of the band on it, if you buy the album. I wuz sold. Then, with my new PLAIN WHITE T'S t-shirt I went home and listened to the CD.
...
I only got around to listening to one song. It was called "Natural Disaster" and i think that my ear drums got burned. I wuz coughing up smoke for days after. I never listened to them again.
...
*no offense Plain White T's. You still rock (or you know, whatevr u call ur music)*
...
then, when i wuz looking through my CDs, i found it again and gave it a second chance. I wasn't very impressed overall, sorry guys, but the first song "Big Bad World" had a beat that would b easy to match clips from my camera with. And it was pretty good, you know, for teenage-boy-st0re-clerk-dude's style of music at Aeropostle with a free T-shirt (*smiles*). So, im going to see how i can remix it up later.
...
(Psst! Pebbles? Remember when u came over for my mum's "open house" thingy and we used my camera to film stuff? I might use that footage for the music. ^_^ i need to look it over though. I'm not sure if it's enough for 4 minutes straight, but i might jam it up a li'l. who knows.)

Avril Lavigne: LET GO
there was a sale at the mall. (again? I know. I luv sales.) Avril Lavigne has some style.

Shrek 2: SHREK TWO MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK
It was a gift. And, it's a pretty good gift too. They don't even sell it anymore. I was listening to "As Lovers Go" by Dashboard Confessional. I liked it, i really did. now, i don't know what happened. "Little Drop of Poison" by Tom Waits is on. It's sinister, deppressing and horrible. Yay! (umm...). There's also "Accidentally in Love" by Counting Crows on it. I think everyone has heard that song at least once.

Ghostbusters: GHOSTBUSTERS-ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK ALBUM
I haf no idea. It's my mum+dad's. It's full of really bad songs from the 70's. Some are okay...but the rest are eye-twitching, ear-burning, tongue-twisting, babble. I usually don't bash oldies music. That's not my style. I listen to quite a few songs from the 80s, and some fromt he 70s. But this album...*shakes head*...idk.
...
Still it's a classic. Come on everyone. "Who ya gonna call?...GHOSTBUSTERS *drum thing*"
...
hahahahaaaa

Hillary Duff: HILLARY DUFF
I don't even know. I got it in like 1st grade. I don't remember what songs are on it. I don't remember if i even liked it. It's all...a blur....i've lost the CD in it, so now all i hav is the case. So technically, this doesn't qualify for a CD. Whoops.

Raven Symone (i think that's how you spell her name): THAT'S SO RAVEN DISNEY SOUNDTRACK
ditto.

...and like that, there are some other CD cases wif no CD in it...and vice-versa...so i feel that this topic is sliding to a close. You hear it, right? Sluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuop. That's this post gradually...
