Soul Glow Activatur

So, today the 8th graders that are coming to Yes I Can at our school visited today. They are amazing! I hung out with them at lunch and they're really sweet kids. I'm super excited for next year. Let me think... I met: William, Eric, Justin, Alex, Nick, Jose, Bryce, and Griffin. I think that's it....

How cool is the name Griffin?! Totally cool.

I think that's it for now.

Oh, and SOMEHOW I have 1,012 views on my blog. Which means someone is reading it. So, I see you lurkers. Leave a comment or send me a message on Twitter, ya know?

Every 15 Minutes

Today, it was Every 15 Minutes at my school. Basically, it is a program to teach kids about the dangers of drunk driving. It is totally realistic and really upsetting. Every 15 minutes for the entire day, they announce that someone has died on the loud speaker, they then play a video obituary for the person.

In the middle of the day, a 911 call comes on and says that there has been an accident. All Juniors and Seniors then go outside and witness two cars completely totaled with kids inside. 2 Fire trucks, police cars, ambulances, and a coroner come to the scene. There is a police officer announcing everything that happens, he announces the names of the kids as they are "found" and announce what their situation is, deceased/critical/etc...They take the kids that are pronounced deceased in the coroner's car and the kids that are in critical condition to the hospital, where they try to "revive" them. Then, the "drunk driver" is given a Breathalyzer test and numerous other tests and taken into custody.

It is really realistic and heart wrenching.

Take a look at the video from my school from two years ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbeZtE-9dg0

Man, what have I been doing?

Why have I not updated this in like a year?

Why am I asking so many questions?

Okay, so I'm all caught up on homework and what not. So, how about a little Q and A. (Inspired by my good friend (well, not really) The Butcher)

Q: So, Amanda, you're doing a Q and A, nice ob stealing Butcher's idea.

A: Well, ya know, that's how I rollll.

Q: Why did you use so many L's?

A: Apparently, in the internet world, the more extra letters you add to your words, the cooler you are.

Q: I see, so you're looking to be an internet celebrity.

A: If you call the coolest person on the planet an internet celebrity, than yes.

Q: I thought you said you already were the coolest person on the planet?

A: Oh. Well, yeah, duh.

Q: So, are you trying to argue with me or something?

A: Not so much argue as prove that I am right.

Q: Oh, so that's the way it is.

A: Well, yeah.

Q: You suck at Q and A's.

A: I know.

Wake up, think fast.

Wow. I haven't updates in like forever.

I started posting on SLH- fianlly. I'm up to like 257 posts. I'm awesome.

I'm seeing The Academy Is... (Actually, just William Eugene Beckett Jr and Adam T. Siska) on Saturday. It's going to be epic. The place, Jerry's Pizza, holds like less than 2oo people and they still haven't sold out. I'm totally hanging out afterward. Good times.

Yes We Did

Today is a historic day.

Today is a day that a dream has come true.

Today is the beginning of the reformation of our nation.

Today is the day that has made me proud to be an American.

Not because of one man, but because of a nation united.

A nation that has come together to make change that matters.

No longer will we live in embarrassment.

But, rejoice because we have another chance.

A chance to become the United States of America once again.

So, I say thank you President Obama, the best has yet to come.

Nice legs, daisy dukes

My Photofinish order finally came.

1. 3OH!3 Bracelet

2. Anthony Green Tote

3. 3OH!3 Headband

The headband makes me look like a total baller, it's awesome.

I don't remember if I posted this already, but I twittered something Nat, but not really specifically to him, just in general about 3OH!3, whatever. The next day I look and he has sent me a message telling me to make sure I go buy my tickets and that it's going to be so fun. Mind you, I am the only one he has ever sent a message to. I look, and like 300 people have sent him messages. Erm...how freaking exciting is that?

Now, he for sure has to stay later so we can hang out.

Amanda's:

Song of the day: 3OH!3- Starstrukk

Name drop of the day: Jay Gatsby

Oh, and apparently my voice is the sweetest thing ever, and I am like the cutest thing ever. omg.

Oh please, gag me with a spoon.

Check This Juliet!

So, I thought this deserved its own post. I thought it was pretty funny.

Basically, Travis (singer of We The Kings) was on a plane and some kid a couple rows in front of himwas blaring Skyway Avenue (a We The Kings song) from his headphones. The kid looked at him and didn't even realize who he was looking at--the singer of the band he was listening to! What a dork!

Trav posted it on his twitter and I thought it deserved a re-post.
