haven't been blogging much lately, my internet isn't so great right now and my mom doesn't seem to understand that, yes, having internet is nice, but when you've got a major compulsory history project due in a week, IT'S FREAKING NECESSARY.
*sigh*
but whatever. here's a list i came across while reading The Book of Lists for Teens by Sandra and Harry Choron that i found thoroughly amusing. i've decided that this list is going to be my new year's resolution - minus the ones i've already done and/or the ones i don't feel like doing. because my initial new year's resolution, which was to write a beautiful, poetic new year's resolution, failed. miserably. i know, it's lame.
