Well, leave it to Tyra to have Robert Pattinson bite her, and do it in a very awkward manner. Tyra always makes me feel secondhand embarrassment.

ugh, what an angel. I wish he bit Ellen instead though. Tyra drives me crazyyy.

Ellen!

 

I’ve heard mixed reviews about the movies. Some people were like “It was AMAZING!” and others said it was unintentionally hilarious. And then some other girl said that Rob looked so good it hurt her eyes. Well, I’m sure I will agree with all of them. Cheesy movies are my favorite!

Perezzies!

November 20, 2008 · Leave a Comment

now I have to see Twilight Monday. Sad. Its at like a 45% on Rotten Tomatoes right now, which is better than I expected actually. Some people even liked Rob!

Which reminds me, does it honestly matter who “claims” a celebrity first? Girls all over are getting all crazy saying “I LOVED Rob wayyy before you even knew he was.” Are you honestly going to get mad that another girl just happened to suddenly have a picture of him in her locker when yours was there “like fiveeee yearsss agooo.” No one cares, ok?  Let the poor girl put up her damn poster. Just because some people don’t spend their time researching barely famous celebrities doesn’t mean they’re not allowed to like them when they do get famous.  And I’m off my rant.

Golden Goggles and vampires.

November 19, 2008 · 1 Comment

Here are the winners, I guess.

I was freezing for two hours waiting for a ride while this all happened so yeah.

Breakout Performer of the Year
Coach of the Year
Perseverance Award
Relay Performance of the Year
Female Performance of the Year
Male Performance of the Year
Male Athlete of the Year
Female Athlete of the Year

 Natalie Coughlin, yay!

So, I finished the Twilight series and I must say I was completely horrified by the last book. Just stop reading if you don’t want to know.

First of all, I NEVER want to be pregnant. ever. I don’t care if normal babies don’t crack spines and ribs and make you throw up all the blood you had to drink. I just don’t even want any creature inside of me. Ew, and it had to be delivered via Edward tearing away at her uterus. Tearing away with his teeth, which provided some lovely imagery. And who would have thought vampires could knock up humans.

Also, it just moved so quickly. In the first book she was a junior in high school, then all of a sudden she’s married, popping out a demon child, and gets turned into a vampire. And through the whole thing she is acting like a 40 year old. And then it made me sad thinking about my life. I’m just not prepared for marriage let alone children. I shudder at the idea. Just too much for me to handle.

And I was also depressed by this weird “love” thing going on. It basically made it seem like “Hey, whoever you fall in love with isn’t going to be half as good as this love so that’s too damn bad for you because vampires don’t exist.”  … Maybe I’m just overreacting, but really, must she make it sooo suicidal sounding? What an unhealthy relationship, but its still going “hey this is the best thing in the world. Go find someone you want to go jump off a cliff for.”

So melodramatic. Quite an unhealthy read for teen girls.

But!!!! MOVIEEEEEEEE!

Its already getting bad reviews, and I could not be less surprised or more excited. I’m seeing on Sunday and will completely enjoy every shallow word spoken by those lost, lost souls. A dark room with a big screen and Rob’s face. Life will be perfect. I kind of feel bad for him because he seems like he really wants to be a serious actor. Hopefully he gets some substantial movies coming his way. Poor things is surrounded by delusional girls who are crying at his feet. God, I would be so embarrassed if I just started to cry in front of him. I’m not going to lie, there would be a good chance I might, but I would definitely make fun of myself later. I would probably just stare like I did at the So You Think You Can Dance tour. Its horrible how I couldn’t even get a “Hi” out to Pasha or Neil. Just stared. They aren’t even famous. Maybe I would cry, then.

12 year old virgins lick Robert Pattinson’s hair.

November 16, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Awkward? Absolutely. But hey, he said it himself. Honestly, who thinks to say that when someone asks how you style your hair? Maybe you just have to be creative after hearing the same question a million times.

But anyway, that title has nothing to do with this post. It was just too hard to resist. (actually… scroll all the way down)

This post is actually about how I can not stand Christina Aguilera anymore. She is such a trendfollower, when she has this huge chance to be a trendsetter, and its soo annoying. First she followed the whole ‘Old Hollywood’ thing when Dita von Teese was really being talked about and all the actresses were wearing red lipstick, and now she has completely ripped off Lady GaGa and playing dumb (while also being extremely rude). Ugh. I’d rather you be “dirrty” again, Christina. Perez is right on this issue.

And you know what? I hope Britney makes a comeback soon so she can come back to claim her spot that Xtina filled while she was crazy! We allll know who was the most popular back in the day. “Hit Me Baby One More Time” completely outshines “Genie in a Bottle.”

So since stepping out of Britney’s shadows, Christina has climbed the charts with redoing an Anderson Sisters song, the Bugle Boy one, and now she is making it all techno-dancey because people like Lady GaGa are climbing out of indie obscurity.

The blunt, bleach blonde hair, bold makeup, and now references to pop-art music? Way to be a follower.

i have a problem.

November 11, 2008 · Leave a Comment

So I stayed up until 12 reading that damn Twilight book, and though it is not the most fantastic work of literature by any means, the author is horrible at choosing clothes for her characters, for God’s sake we know Edward has pretty eyes, and Bella genuinely pissed me off with her lost puppy attitude, I am so inexplicably hooked. For a very informative post on this extremely ridiculous, yet crack-like book please see this by 1416 and Counting. It pretty much mirrors most of my opinions.

Now I am dying to see the movie. And oh… Robert Pattinson. He’d make anything better. He is so strangely beautiful I just don’t even know why I love to stare at him. Ugh, I feel like such a fangirl. And as much as I hate the squealing, celebrity (or swimmer) obsessed girls in the world, I have to admit, I am probably one of the highest-pitched of them all. Its embarrassing, but true. I also have celebrity ADHD. I sort of latch on to celebrities for brief time periods, but become seriously infatuated with them. …so, so sad.

I’m normal though, I swear!

Anyway, when the book introduced the vampires sitting at a lunch table Moby’s song was playing in my head. You know the “…Look at us we’re beautiful. All the people push and pull…” or however it goes. Just letting you know. I kind of wish I had vampires at my school, because lord knows there certainly are no Edward Cullens. Not ever remotely close. Ew.

Ugh, I don’t even care that I will be paying  the overpriced $9 to see this movie, plus however much my carton of raspberries, bottle of water, and possibly a turkey wrap I’m sneeking in from Publix will be, to see this absolutely cheesetastic movie with super strong flying people all over the place. It has Robert Pattinson being a mysterious vampire. That’s enough for me. And plus, I highly enjoy ridiculous movies ok? I watched She’s the Man like literally about 4 times in 3 days.

He’s like Ed Westwick. Yeahhh that’s who he reminds me of. Only better.

because I’m a fan…

I feel like it is time for me to move on but I just can’t.

Ryan Lochte was in Maine (I think?) talking at a YMCA the other day.

Am I seeing a trace of facial hair? Please, no.

By Jean DePlacido
Staff writer

BEVERLY — Long before Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte was scheduled to appear at the Beverly YMCA Sterling Center yesterday, his young followers flocked to the gymnasium, anxiously awaiting a sighting of the popular swimmer.

It was a rare opportunity to see Lochte, who won gold medals in both the 2004 Olympics in Athens and the Olympic Games in China this past summer.

From the youngest fans like 8-year-old Alec Powers of Beverly, who has only been swimming a couple of years, to the oldest getting ready to go off to college, Lochte’s audience was thrilled that he would be talking to them.

Lochte is from upstate New York and swam for the University of Florida Gators, where he was a seven-time NCAA champion and two-time Swimmer of the Year.

Two years ago Lochte set American records for the 200-yard IM (individual medley) and 200-yard backstroke. In Beijing, he took bronze in the 400 IM behind his famous teammate Michael Phelps, who finished first in world record time en route to a record-breaking eight gold medals in the Games. Lochte also took home gold in the 200-meter backstroke with a new world record time and as a member of the 4×200 winning freestyle relay team.

The highlight of the Olympics in China?

“Honestly, it was the all you can eat at McDonald’s,” the laid back Lochte immediately replied. “When you are competing, you need 8,000 to 12,000 calories a day so that’s something to look forward to.”

Lochte has been swimming since he was 8 years old, starting out for MCC (Monroe Community College) in New York where his father was the head coach. He is best known for his speed and strength kicking underwater, and he knows many of the youngsters listening to his experiences and watching the demonstration in the pool hope someday to reach the heights he has attained.

Helping Phelps win a record-setting eight gold medals was something he took in stride.

“I was just trying not to screw up,” he said. “We all wanted to help him and the whole team. There were a lot of good guys there, and for the most part the main competition came from others on the US team. I always try not to think about swimming when I’m getting ready. The calmer I am, the faster I’ll be. I try not to focus on anything to do with swimming both before and during a race. I usually think about what I am going to eat after it’s over. That works well for me.”

Teddy Millett, a senior at Marblehead High, and Brian Brennan, a junior at St. John’s Prep, wanted to pick up some pointers to help in the upcoming season. Both intend to continue their swimming careers in college and plan to go to the U.S. Olympic Trials in 2012.

“I’m pretty excited to meet (Lochte) because he swims at the highest level there is,” said Brennan, a 16 year old from Beverly. “I do get anxious before the big meets, and I hope to pick his brain and get some good tips.”

Millett said that if he starts to feel nervous before a big race he talks to one of his teammates.

“If I think about it too much I will have a bad race,” said Millett, who hoped to pick up some pointers on improving his backstroke from Lochte, who said his favorite races was the 200-yard IM. “When I’m swimming for the (YMCA) Sharks I usually talk to Brian (Brennan) and tune everything else out.”

Lochte intends to compete in the next two Olympics, which means years of getting up early and doing tons of training.

“I’ve been in break mode, but starting tomorrow I will be back in the water with my regular training schedule,” said Lochte. “I wouldn’t do it if I wasn’t having fun. The biggest thing I can tell all these kids is to have fun – whatever they do.”

 

And who watched Oprah? I pretty much cried the entire episode.

I still have a chapter of Latin American history to take notes on but hey! Obama pretty much has this in the bag.

Not that you didn’t know that.

But if you live in Florida and voted yes on amendment 2, I’m extremely mad at you. Just because we never got anything catchy like “No on Prop H8TE” does not make it ok.

Let’s reminisce over this election and all our fond memories–

  • We had the lovely people at SNL in all their glory. Won’t you miss that? Oh, Amy, please come back.
  • My father called me a communist.
  • I had to debate for Obama is Spanish.
  • Having the Young Democrats behind me in a parade waving their glorious Obama posters. One of which now resides crumpled up in the corner of my room. Oh, and hearing the little children yell “Momma, OBAMA’S COMING!”
  • Laughing over the joke that is Sarah Palin and John McCain’s rapid blinking
  • “Obviously Obama is going to win. He’s a trend!” – some kid
  • “You know why the world wants Obama to win? Because liberals are pussies! The world doesn’t like George Bush because he wasn’t a pussy!” – my endearing father, who then told me that Obama would basically lead to the end of the U.S. It was uplifting.
  • and many, many more.

Poor McCain and Palin have lost hope. Where will Palin go? Back to Alaska. Sad. And McCain why must you make me feel so bad for you? Why do I pity old people whose dreams are crushed so much? This makes the election so much less fun. I should be basking in the Obama domination. BUT GUESS WHAT! Michelle Obama will be our new pretty first lady!

and I shall leave you with this. If you are easily offended… well then don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Oh, that was rich. And I feel kind of mean for posting it

 

Well kids, its been epic.

its been a while

November 3, 2008 · 3 Comments

So I was on myspace today and someone posted this–

“Because of pyhscological changes in certain hormone producing metabolic pathways during aerobic and anerobic exercise, swimmers are the most sexually active athletes.
” Time Magazine

 

I don’t find that to be shocking at all, actually. Some of them look like quite the sex addicts. And if the Olympic Village is full of sex, the swimmers are quite the busy ones.

But enough of that pervertedness.

In Ryan Lochte not-so-much news, I am pretty sure my Spanish teacher met him and yeah, extremely jealous. She said he was a nice boy (who probably fits in with that little Time Magazine but perfectly). That’s nice.

Michael Phelps was on THE VIEW. Click here for thattt. Why are there two women there? Is this normal? Barbara Walters we know what you meant with the big feet emphasis. Boring interview though.

Also, I MISS AMY POEHLER, YOU GUYS! I miss her. At least she went out with a Sarah Paliney bang.

Um, Nick and Norah was pretty adorable. I don’t want Michael Cera having sex though. He’s not a swimmer.

I’m also want to see Twilight because I am kind of getting on the Robert Pattinson bandwagon.

Its the jaw.

And oh! He was CEDRIC DIGGORY! Who knew.

Am moving on. Gossip Girl! I need to do this fast. I have to research Obama in Spanish for my debate tomorrow. Anyway best episode ever.

I love Jenny, but hate Jenny, but love her. I love her new clothes, hate her orange skin, and she could lessen up on that makeup. But she stood up to Mamma Waldorf! That part was veryyy good. And the ending with Nate. It was adorable, and shook with envy when I realized he is like 20 something and she is 15.. 16???!!! Not fair! But she’s too skinny. Did you see how he grabbed her and pulled her back? i could have just died.

And… Dan kind of made me mad. I want Serena to be with the baby Johnny Depp. He looks like a baby Johnny Depp I tell you. And CHUCK and BLAIR almost made me cry. Almost. It was so sweet and perfect. Now I want Chuck with Vanessaaa.

So NOW tonight Dan is going to be a protective older brother and in the process should definitely wear a cardigan a la Skins. I’m SO excited. Older brothers are my favorite.

awww

awww

And in case of any of you care I am currently snacking on a banana and nutella. Its good, you should try it. I HAVE TO DO HOMEWORK!

oh question, has anyone here used a ouija board? My friend did and it really worked. Good stories? Bad stories? They make me nervous.

Phelps reality show– to be or not to be?

October 25, 2008 · Leave a Comment

So Kitty alway provides the best information and guess what!

Michael Phelps might be getting his own reality show!

Now I for one would be particularly excited about this because this may mean a) more Debbie Phelps on TV, b) his dog on tv, and c) potentially some Ryan Lochte screen time (aren’t they supposed to be training together in Baltimore?)???? Ashton Kutcher has been linked to the project, too.

But there are some problems here.

For one, if a show was in the works, it probably would not come out for a while, and the Olympic excitement would be pretty much completely gone (unless they released it around the time of those swimming championships NBC will be airing?) so the ratings may not be so good. And he would also have to compete with the hundreds of other craptastic reality shows. But if Denise Richards could do it, why not Michael?

Also, this may be just a rumor or PR stunt. That’s an opinion swirling around his iMDB page. With a quick google search, ideas of a reality show involving Michael Phelps were being mentioned since Aug. 17th, and talks of a show with Ashton and Demi go back as far as Sep 27, so you think by now some major source would have gotten their hands on this story, even if it is just a sidenote. The biggest site I could find was Just Jared. However, I do feel like if he was approached by Demi and Ashton he would take the offer because he has pretty much done every commercial offered.

Oh and speaking of commercials look at this adorable one!

It is for the new Guitar Hero (I’m soo excited!) and besides Michael it also features the homewrecker A-Rod, cheater Kobe Bryant, and the very wholesome non-man-whore Tony Hawk in a homage to Risky Business.

Well, let’s keep our fingers crossed for a Phelps show.

 

Edit: Just read this Phelps story and its really cute! In US today I read Phelps was really weird and slept with a bunch of girls back at Michigan University… and then told them they could play with his medals. Ew. But read this!

ANN ARBOR (2008-10-10) This story does not involve any football players. Just two guys.

One of them is Michael Phelps. You’ve probably heard of him. He has 14 gold medals.

The other is Scotty Passink. You probably haven’t heard of him. He has cerebral palsy.

But these two have been close friends since Phelps moved to Ann Arbor four years ago.

When Scotty Passink was born, the doctors said he would never walk or talk. They told his parents to look for a place to put him.

But Scotty’s father, Pete, had captained the Michigan golf team. His mother worked as Bo Schembechler’s secretary. They are not soft. They were not going to give up.

Scotty’s surgeries started when he was two, and didn’t stop until his senior year in high school – 15 operations in all. The doctors broke his legs and reset them – twice — just so he could walk. He doesn’t walk very fast — – he goes through a pair of shoes every two or three months — and he has a hell of a time climbing stairs. But he gets there.

When Scotty was six they put him in a special classroom. One day he came home and asked his mom, Why doesn’t anybody talk? His mom said, This isn’t right, and put him in a class with the other kids. He got teased and he got shoved, but he says, It only made me tougher.

When his grades faltered a few years later, Bo Schembechler hauled him into his office. Sit down! he said, then scared him straight. It worked. Despite all the sick days, Scotty earned his diploma on time – plus a signed photo from Schembechler that said: To Scotty, The toughest guy I know.

Scotty went to Washtenaw Community College, then transferred to Michigan, where he worked as a student manager for the football team. Now he works at the UM ticket office, where I recently heard Lloyd Carr offer him a cigar. No thanks, Scotty said. Those things make me walk funny.

His closest friends include Pat Owen, who was born with a club foot but became the captain of the Michigan wrestling team – and some guy named Michael Phelps.

I don’t think Michael knows what I have, really, Scotty says. And I don’t think he cares about it. But, when I fall down, he’s right there to pick me up. Every time.

When Phelps returned to Ann Arbor to be honored at the Michigan-Wisconsin football game, he called Scotty from the airport. Meet me at the Brown Jug in thirty minutes. That night, the all-time Olympic champion told Passink how much Scotty inspired him.

The next day Owen, Passink and Phelps watched the game on the Michigan sidelines. When the fans started counting down the seconds, a police officer warned the trio that Phelps would get mobbed, and Scotty could get trampled. Phelps turned to Scotty and said, Don’t worry. I’ve got you.

When the gun sounded, Owen and Phelps picked up their buddy, and carried him off the field. If you were lucky enough to witness that moment, you would have seen three guys running across the field and up the tunnel: a wrestler with a club foot, Scotty Passink, and the best athlete in the world.

And the toughest guy was in the middle.
