No Surprise

If you need me, I will run to you
And if you call me out of the blue I will run to catch you as you fall on me
And it’s no surprise that you’ll soon forget about me

If you want me, I will be right here
And if you want me you will notice me here

25 things about my sleeping habits

1. I can’t fall asleep resting on the left side of my face because of second ear piercing (although most times that’s the side I wake up on).
2. 99% of the time, I sleep with a pair of socks on.
3. I sleep with the bottom of the sheets curled under my feet, because I hate coldness of the end of the bed/breeze sobre mes pieds.
4. The open end of my pillowcase is placed on the left side. This is more out of habit than anything.
5. Every day for one year, I went to sleep listening to Fall Out Boy’s From Under the Cork Tree album.
6. Every day for six months, I went to sleep listening to My Chemical Romance’s Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge album.
7. Every day for six months, I went to sleep listening to Explosions in the Sky’s All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone album.
8. I sleep with one pillow, but two blankets&one duvet, even in the summer.
9. Until last year, I used to always sleep with the curtains open.
10. In the summer, I will sometimes randomly wake up at 2, 3, or 4 in the morning, sit upright, open the window, and look&listen until the sound of the city in the summer lulls me back to sleep. This’ll usually happen every twotothree days.
11. My cellphone must always be within arm’s reach when I fall asleep.
12. Sometimes I wake up in the morning with my cell open&lying under me. Wtf, sleeptexting much?
13. I always put a little vaseline on my lips before going to bed.
14. I can’t go to sleep with wet hair, but I always take a shower at night. (So I just end up waiting for an hour before creeping into bed.)
15. The only bed [other than my own] that I can fall asleep in easily is Amanda’s. …. Apart from when Beebs keeps sniffing at me, and licking my face, and being Beebs.
16. I love love LOVE being in cars in the summer before the A/C has kicked in, and the air is still thick&drowzy. Makes my head swim and sleepy and happy.
17. One of the simplest things in life that makes me happy is when I change the sheets after taking a shower, so I go to sleep surrounded by crisp, sweet-smelling freshness.
18. I don’t usually remember my dreams unless I’m interrupted&woken up by a text message.
19. Shannon used to be my alarm clock, texting me at 6 in the morning as she was in math class and using bacon as a threat if I didn’t get up&get ready for school soon. <3
20. When I was little, I used to sleep with my favorite books underneath my pillow. When I was little, I used to break a lot of book spines.
21. I have this thing where I love falling asleep in cars when they’re moving&the right music is playing.
22. I have never been able to fall asleep in class. Or in the daytime in general. It sucks.
23. Mr. Norrington = essential.
24. The walls surrounding my bed are full of things that remind me of my friends, because I sometimes like re-reading them things so that I can fall asleep happy.
25. My favorite duvet cover is my playboy ones, because the buttons at the bottom snap shut really well.  (:

Some words of wisdom from our friend, Ne-Yo‘s mother:

Don’t let the sun set on an argument.

Never wake up with yesterday’s drama on your back.

The first sentence of my first book:

and as the sun filtered through the window and heated the nape of my neck, I realized the whole thing had busted open like a split lip on a Sunday.

I should be working on my two-page PoliSci essay right now, but

1. this is going to be a quick post
2. this ‘post’ has been playing in my head for the past few hours and it’s getting annoying
3. I feel bad for the previous days where there have been no new entries from me
4. I know becca enjoys looking at my blog and seeing 13 billion new posts.

Skin care is important, especially for teens who are at a stage in their life where putting their raging hormones under lock and key is damn near impossible. The last thing you could want is for a pimple to suddenly appear in the middle of your face just as you’ve gathered up the courage to talk to that cute boy with the flippy hair, the girl with the sweet smile and the even sweeter rack, or the Johnny Depp look-alike who is the pure definition of mysteriously sexy.

So we go to the store to try and find something that could keep our face from breaking out in every direction like preschoolers when the bell rings at the end of the day, but what we’re met with are shelves upon shelves, rows upon rows of products that all claim to be the best for your skin. WOAH. Information overload. There are soaps, scrubs, exfoliants, peels, cleansers, toners, gels, masks… what the heck do all these things do? What do I really need? What will give me the best results? Which product will be kindest to my wallet?

These are all valid questions, and I’m sure there are more. (Like what the hell is a T-Zone? Is that where the Queen gathers with her other queenie friends and have tea and crumpets?) (It isn’t, but I’ll explain what it is in detail another time.)

In the meantime, I’ll just tell you guys about exfoliants quick fast.

An exfoliant is, simply put, somethingthat helps remove excess dead skin cells. Yum, right? After exfoliating, skin always feels softer because the new skin cells have been revealed. It’s good for you, because it helps keep your skin fresh and glowing, rather than clogged-up and rough.

There are a couple things to look out for when you go shopping for exfoliants:

1. An exfoliant for the face and a body exfoliant are two different things. When looking for one for the face, you should get something that contains smaller particles so that your face doesn’t get roughed up or dehydrated as easily.
2. Even companies that claim to be “100% all-natural” should have their ingredient section checked. If you see an ingredient with “poly” and/or “ethyl” in the name, it means the product contains plastic. Not only is this bad for the environment, but this is also bad for your pores, which will clog up more easily.

Out of the exfoliants that I’ve tried, my favorite has been St-Ives Apricot Scrub. Super grainy = super soft skin afterwards. My face always felt tight afterwards though, and I wouldn’t use it more than once every two weeks for fear of it drying out my skin too much. If you have very oily skin, you could use it more often; like once a week.

I’ve recently found out, however, that there is a much cheaper and more natural way of exfoliating your skin:

sugar.

All you have to do is mix white sugar into your moisturizer in a small bowl. (I suggest equal parts sug&moist., ~ 1 tspn of /ch.) This isn’t one of those recipes that is super messy and drips everywhere. The hardest part is resisting the urge to lick your fingers.

Rub the sugar&cream onto your face in small, circular movements. Don’t ever rub exfoliants harshly, because all that will do is irritate your skin and make things worse. Wash it off with warm water.

You don’t need to wash your face beforehand, although you may still need to moisturize afterwards.

I tried it for the first time tonight so I’m not sure how well it works, but it seems to be doing well so far. I’ll be doing this one a week for a month of so, and if you don’t see another blog about me ranting about it, it’s probably because it works well. ☺

(Talk about “short post”. I’ve kind of gotten into the writing mood, so I’m not so reluctant to work on my PoliSci assignment. Still. This was more fun. Was this terribly random-in-a-bad-way//not useful//boring to read? Would you guys like me to try out other homemade recipes//products? Help clarify certain terms or beauty myths perhaps? Argh, let me know. I feel like I need feedback right now. Either way, 90% of the posts will continue to be blog-related. I just want to know if I should write this type of thing here when I’m in the mood, or if I should keep it all in my head. XD If no one answers, I’ll take it as a no. ☺ JE VOUS AIMEUH QUAND MEMEUH. EUH. … Right, back to writing about Palin.)

Country First.

“A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are for.”

- William Shedd

“If you want change in Washington, if you hope for a better America, then we’re asking for your votes on the fourth of November. My fellow Americans, come join our cause. Join our cause and help our country to elect a great man; the next President of the United Sates.”

- Sarah Palin

Today in Humanities, we learned about fallacies; the most common mistakes people make in their premises. Here are a few types of them:

There’re…

False dilemmas, which is when one makes it seem like there’s only one option when this is not the case.

Red herrings, where one diverts the attention of the reader or listener away from the task or issue at hand.

Slippery Slopes (also known as ‘The Snowball Effect’), where one makes assumptions sound certain.

Looking back at the first Sarah Palin quote I put at the beginning of my post… to me that sounds like a ‘false dilemma’. She’s already assuming McCain will become president. Back when I took my dog to training school, I learnt only one thing: when you pull and drag a dog in one direction, it will only strain in the opposite direction even more. The same goes for humans: by Sarah Palin assuming that McCain will become president, it makes me want to look at my options, look at McCain’s campaign with a microscope to my eye, trying to find flaws in his crusade.

I could be running about in the forest in my knickers right now, free to do what I what, when I want, and how I want. That’s being free. By being a part of this society, I have given up a part of that individual liberty in order to obtain moral liberty. Such is the price to pay if one wants the right to participate in choosing the laws which govern us.

By Palin forestating McCain’s election as president, it makes me wary as to what they are hiding. I want to make my own decisions. It is up to the people – those she supposedly works for – to decide. Not her.
The customer is always right; so instead of telling us what we believe is right, let us make our own decisions. The last thing I want in a vice president (let alone the president himself) is close-mindedness; the inability to see past their own way of thinking. That’s one of the reasons why I like Obama. His lack of experience may have been used against him numerous times just like Palin, but unlike her, he acknowledges and accepts this, but appears willing to grow with America, rather than grow America.

“We tend to prefer candidates who don’t talk to us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco. As for my running mate, you can be certain that wherever he goes and whoever is listening, John McCain is the same man!”

- Sarah Palin

a) John McCain is the same man, yes. But that doesn’t say anything about his opinions staying the same wherever he goes.

b) What I want to know is ; How can McCain pick Palin as his vice president after viciously attacking Obama’s lack of experience time and time again? McCain ads can be quoted as stating Obama is “dangerously unprepared”. And yet… Palin has been the governor of Alaska for two years, and was the former mayor or Wasilla (popl. 6 700). Her college education ended at the University of Idaho, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism. Obama is a graduate of Harvard Law School.

“As mayor of my hometown, and since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves.”
(crowd cheers)
“I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a community organizer… except that you have actual responsibilities.”

- Sarah Palin

Let me just say that… I hate when Americans cheer over anything and everything. I know I’m generalizing and being unfair but… They cheered after that first sentence which, quite honestly, was a load of hocus pocus. Some say she was ’sticking it to the man’, but don’t tell someone how to do their job if you’ve never been in their place before, lady.

Argh, it’s 12:21AM. I should be in bed right now, I’ve got to get up in six hours. Sorry about that political rant guys, it really came out of nowhere. I’m not usually big on politics, but I just do not want to have Sarah Palin as vice president and self-professed Hockey Mom in possession of nuclear codes once she comes face to face with Vladimir Putin and only knows how to press the big shiny red button because she never studied what the other buttons do. You never give a gun to a 5 year old. You never give the gun. The last thing America (which, newsflash!, includes North America – us Canadians – and South America) needs is another president who is supportive of destructive and abusive policies. I don’t know about you guys, but I am dead sick and tired of waking up to my radio in the morning informing me on the latest war and terrorism stories. Shouldn’t the adults be teaching us kids to keep violence to a minimum, rather than to poke big bears with sticks? I really wished I had a say in this presidential election. I really, really do.

And just a quick recommendation : www.pixlr.com It’s like photoshop, only simpler, and you don’t have to download the program. (:

And on that note ; I REALLY AM GOING TO GO SLEEP NOW. G’night. <3

PS : I nearly forgot to add what sparked my sudden Palin-rant; they’ve made Sarah Palin action figures. No joke. You can go see more about them here. Comes with costumes changes too. Anyone here know how to voodoo, by any chance?

The Ten Commandments

… The Revised Edition

brought to you by coffeehero&salmonheadsoup

!

Warning: These rules, although born into a conversation full of laughter, should not be taken as a joke. Go against any of them, and you will pay for your stupidity. After all guys; we’re putting these here for you. They’re supposed to help you figure out what women like in men, so just take our advice and remember these pearls of wisdom, please? We’re pretty sure it would do the world some good if more guys stopped breaking these rules.

Kplxthnx.

- The administration

Rule 1 | Every guy looks good in a black chemise.
Exhibit A : Hey dude, you like this girl? WEAR A BLACK CHEMISE.
Exhibit B : Hey dude, you appreciate life? No? WEAR A BLACK CHEMISE ANYWAY.

Analysis : As you can see, although Dude A (who is pining after a gal) is very different Dude B (who is depressed, colorblind, and most probably just burnt his tongue with some hot chocolate), both dudes would both look TRèS HOTTE with black chemises. It can also be noted that even if Dude B couldn’t give two ass-scratches whether he looks good or not, us girls still care.
Side note : Black chemises > White chemises.

Rule 2 | No brick or jelly arms (and certainly not both)
Elaboration : Arms are muy importante! Girls like to feel protected&safe when they’re in their guy’s arms, as shown here in Exhibit C : “[...] I’d like to think that he thinks I’m at least slightly delicate and that he can proteger moi [when I'm in his arms].“

Further elaboration : being held by a brick wall *cough*SCHWARZENEGGER!*cough* is unpleasant. I can’t think of one girl who even remotely finds body builders hot. However, being held by a pair of jelly arms isn’t exactly heaven either. Look, if we wanted to lay in a liquid solid, we’d just buy a water bed.

Rule 3 | Must sit masculine.
Not quite sure what to think? Want to know what we mean? Simple elaboration can be found here : A 2minute, 11second video.

Rule 4 | Be macho, not egotistical. Be confident, but not disrespectful.
Elaboration : You’re a man! Congratulations. Go on, own up to it! You know you want to. There’s nothing bad about being a guy and showing off every so often.

Example : Lifting a heavy box we weren’t even able to move an inch. Hot. So hot.
What isn’t so cool though is when you guys get cocky and start lecturing us on things we either already know, or couldn’t give a shit about. Then you’re just tooting the horn no one wants to hear, and we start regretting turning down girl’s night to hang out with you.
Confidence is good, but when it gets to the point where you think you’re essential to our being, what started out as a pro can quickly turn into a con. Don’t be so confident with the relationship that you think making fun of us in front of your friends is funny and that we won’t put our foot down. Remember, these boots were made for walking, and they can walk all over you.

Rule 5 | NOT TOO CHEESY PLEASE!
Elaboration : Sweet little gestures from time to time are deeply approved of. However, being constantly showered with romantic poems, flowers, professions of loves, etc. can become tiresome. The proverb ‘too much of a good thing’ rings true : if you guys are always acting sweet, then not only will the gestures lose their effect, but they’ll make our eyes roll right out of their sockets. &And no one wants that.

Example of a sweet, simple gesture :
The guy walks with the girl, and he’s kinda macho, an don the sidewalk il prend la fille par les épaules et la déplace vers l’intérieur pcq sa mère lui a dit ça pour éviter que la fille se fasse arroser.

Rule 6 | Be not afraid of emotions. (They happen.)
Analysis : Babysitting a fountain of tears isn’t what any sane girl signs up for in a relationship. Reversely, it isn’t fun when guys become stiff boards that stare at us with empty eyes because we’re crying over something tragic, like a friend’s death. It’s just a turn-off. Like at least put your arm around us or something. Just don’t stand there and stare awkwardly like a cow as if you’re waiting for the moment to pass. Shit happens. Help us deal with it.

Rule 7 | Honesty.
Elaboration : Honesty isn’t a hard concept to grasp. It’s putting it into effect that seems to be the challenge. Rule seven is about telling the truth when it’s necessary, even if it hurts.

Example : Breaking up over a post-it is bad. Not breaking up when you really should is even worse. If you start having feelings for another girl, for Christ’s sake, just spit it out. The situation will just be handled sooner, and at least we can’t call you a lying git to our friends behind your back.

Rule 8 | Guy’s feet should always be covered.
A.K.A : The ‘No flip flops’ rule.

Elaboration : We’re not saying to keep your shoes on at all times, but it’s just a general rule that guys look weird with flip flops.

Rule 9 | Nice hands.
Elaboration : The general thinking for this rule is that guys with long nails is weird. Really weird. Too weird. Super turn-off weird. We’re not saying to bite the nails to the quick, just… you get the point. Also, strong&sturdy hands are like strong&sturdy arms : we like to feel safe in them.

Rule 10 | Good taste in music.
Elaboration : Who gives a crap if you don’t like the same music as us? Opposites attract, and a little debate never hurt anyone. It’s just a little weird if we ask you what you’re listening to, and you say: “Cher. It’s not one of her hits, but it’s definitely in my top 5.” or “Mandy Moore’s new CD just came out, and I HAD to listen to it straight away. You have to check it out too!” At least wait until you’re in deep in the relationship with us before you start confessing your love for teen queens, ’cause we’ll still remember all the other reasons we love you.

TA-DAAA. So that’s it.
It’s 5:41AM I’m not tired. I wish I could play my iTunes ’cause I have this song stuck in my head (The Maccabees – First Love. IT’S JUST SO CATCHY!!) but I can’t because the world is sleeping and I don’t even own a silent keyboard, so every time I type a word it just sounds like a dinosaur’s gnashing at a chunk of old wooden boat.

Hmmm. Maybe I’ll post up some of my playlists next? And some of my favorite text messages? We’ll see. My dog is waking up, so I’ll have to dash in to bed soon. Je vous aime! <3

PS : If you there’s a rule missing (Coffeehero: “IMPOSSIBLE!” haha), or if you think there should be Ten Revised Commandments for girls, than just leave a comment with your ideas. (:
