Quote of the day.

"Look fella; heroes don't look like me in the real world. In the real world, their beard's not shaved, they have a bald spot, and they have a beer gut. I'm just an actor with a gun."

this just in: Michelin Man Apparently Plots World Domination

Has his plan already been put in motion? Is anyone safe? Who can we count on in this time of uncertainty? Decide for yourself: do you trust the michelin man?

just look at that face. false sincerity at it's worst, folks. is there any point in fighting back? well, that's the question experts are being asked as we speak. but i can tell you right now, only one thing is certain: we are all going to die.

Ali's Top 4 Saddest Facts

i seem to be making a lot of lists lately.
Top 4 Saddest Things Ever

1.) Brad Pitt is 42.

2.) Billie Joe Armstrong is 33. (and just to convey how completely sad this is, i cried. because i thought he was like 16. jeez, he looks 16.)

3.) I am never going to be allowed to buy the good version (the un-edited one) of Collision Course.

4.) Vin Diesel managed to sleep with three women before he was a day old. i dont think thats fair to the rest of the world. or to those women.

When Vin Diesel was born, the nurse said, "Holy crap! That's Vin Diesel!" Then she had had sex with him. At that point, she was the third girl he had slept with.

- A random fact about vin diesel

billie joe armstrong. does he look like he's 33? =0

12 oz. Mouse.......it's the shit.

Denim like a jean.

ok. here's the full report of ali's x-mas booty '05.

• from padre: video iPod; the chronicles of narnia-a bbc televison event- The Lion the wiitch and the wadrobe, prince caspian and the voyage of the dawn treader (my favorite 1!!), and the silver chair on DVD; a book of peotry; quick start yoga on DVD.
• from madre: the chronicles of narnia-the lion the witch and the wadrobe- official movie soundtrack (which, i might add, is amazing), Switchfoot-Nothing is Sound; Ocean's 11 AND 12 on DVD (hence my denim like a jean statement), a Cinderella Story; various acne treatements.
• from various people: Jess: Slaughterhouse-Five. The Tomlinsons:happy bunny keyboard stickers, happy bunny mood pen, book of logic puzzles, turtle cell phone charm. The Extended Family: various calendars, jewelry (dude aunt kerry makes very pretty jewelry i mite add), $115 in cash and $50 in a BestBuy gift card. and that's not counting everyone minus grandpa on dad's side. =) $) <
• gifts to myself: well with all my newfound money i decided that starting my iPod off with a few TV episodes couldn't hurt. so i bought 11 episodes of Law&Order for 19.98 (i saved $2 by buying them all at once), an episode of the Suite Life of Zack and Cody, and the newest episode of LOST, which also happens to be the episode where Kate and Jack finally kiss, which apparently means nothing because they were both psychotic when it happened. but o well. besides, its only a $1.99 an episode. and then i bought A Wrinkle in Time and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes on Audiobook for like $14 each. =)
• ali's presents to the world: this year i was good. i saved up money all year, and got $50 from grandpa for my birthday which also helped, and when i started shopping, i had a grand total of a $190 dollars to spend on christmas gifts. so i got bry and jess the 4th season of ATHF, Kris a shark watch, Tiff earings and a journal, all my friends stuff, dad a burned CD, mom a keychain, earings, and coupons, and everyone else *cough cough* you're waiting til i see you to get yours.

Mahalik: No shit man!
CJ: Yeah, mice.
Mahalik: Yo, I thought she had rats!
CJ: No, mice are inside the house, rats are outside.
Mahalik: Yeah, but what if a mouse goes outside, is it a rat? And if a rat goes inside the house, is it a mouse?
CJ: You never seen no mouse outside, thats why they're called rats!
Mahalik: So mice are inside and rats are out.
CJ: Yo, you mighta just made a fact right there, that's some sick shit!

Cindy: Well....I watched this tape. The tape that Brenda watched, before she died. And as soon as it was over, the phone rang and this voice said i was gonna die in seven days.
George: C'mon Cindy, there's no such thing as a killer video tape.
CJ: Course not!
Mahalik: Yo, wait! I heard that Jamal, over on 45th watched that tape last week, and this morning, he woke up dead!
CJ: yo, how do you wake up dead?
Mahalik: Because you were alive when you went to sleep!
CJ: so, does that mean you can go to bed dead too?
Mahalik: foo! you can't go to bed dead, man that shit would be redundant!
CJ: Yeah, but you can go to bed, and not be dead, and you can die and not be in a bed. I'm just sayin man.
Mahalik: i'm tellin you man, you're alive when you go to sleep and you can wake up dead.
CJ: You know? You gotta be a genius man.

On the Tenth Day of Christmas.......

so. i'm not exactly sure whether or not the twelve days of christmas are before or after christmas, but for the purpose of maintaining a truthful title, let's go with before, and if anyone knows otherwise, please contact me through a secret and secure line, so that we can resolve the issue carefully and quietly. yes. so, back to the tenth day of christmas. if it's the tenth day, that mean's that there's three days left. which is right, because christmas is sunday, which is three days away. the purpose of my writing this is to state that it is now three days before christmas, and i have the flu. ok. i'm going to stay VERY calm about this. you guys know how calm i stay. very, very calm. WHO THE HELL GET'S THE FLU IN THE WEEK RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS!?!?!?!?!?! there. very calm. so i've had the flu since, hmmmmmmm, tuesday night i think. i didn't go to school wednesday, thursday, or today. and still, i'm sick. very sick. with the flu. and none of my friends believe me. because apparently, the flu isn't a headache, and a back ache, and a neck ache, and a sore throat, and a fever. nope. the flu is throwing up. so, you know, i must be making all that shit up, just to get out of school for three days. before vacation. because im such a genius, i decided to cut school for three days before our second longest vacation of the year. i mean, who wants to cut in march, or january, or may, when there's no vacations at all? and we're in school for weeks straight. because cutting then would so not make sense. definatly not. ok hellooooooooooooo people! i'm not stupid enough to want to get thrown off washington for absences! im not gonna cut right before a huge vacation! i have. the freakin. flu! >=0. ok. so. i'm done venting. yuppers. done. so......Merry Christmachaunakwanza! (if that's how you spell it.......you know what? i dont care; as if anyone knows anyways)

The Tralfamadorian View on Things

yes, well, i have just started reading Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five (an early christmas present from Jess) and if you didn't know this already, Kurt Vonnegut always ties his books into eachother. Not like they're a series, he will just randomly mention something from one of his other books and tie it into the story. So anyway, Slaughterhouse-Five. I've only just begun reading it, in fact I'm only on Chapter Two, but already, it has tied The Sirens of Titan into it, in great length. Meaning that the main character claims to have been a prisoner on Tralfamadore(the alien planet that created the human race), where he was kept naked in a zoo with Montana Wildhack, a movie star from Earth who was captured. The reason why I'm going so far into the plot line is because the main character, Billy Pilgrim, is thought to have gone senile, and he keeps trying to prove his sanity by writing letters to the Illium newspaper, talking about the Tralfamadorians and how they see in four dimensions. So to them, they see time as ever-living, not like we do, where one moment passes and then it's gone, they see all moments of time at the same time, as though they were looking at a filmstrip, and they can rewind whenever they want. So if someone dies, they don't see the corpse as dead, they see them as looking a lot worse in that moment than they looked in all the other moments when they were fine. "The most important thing I learned on Tralfamadore was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at his funeral. All moments, past, present, and future, have always existed, always will exist. The Tralfamadorians can look at all the different moments, just the way we can look at a stretch of the Rocky Mountains, for instance. They can see how permanent all the moments are, and they can look at any moment that interests them. It is just an illusion we have here on Earth, that one moment follows another one, like a string of beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever. When a Tralfamadorian sees a corpse, all he thinks is that the dead person is in bad condition in that particular moment, but that the same person is just fine in plenty of other moments. Now, when I myself hear that somebody is dead, I simply shug and say what the Tralfamadorians say about dead people, which is 'So it goes.'"
The reason I put this up here is that I would like to believe that this is true; that at some point all the people we love who have died, and will die, are really still alive. Kurt Vonnegut is right that thry live on in the past, and though I believe that there's a possibility that the literal translation is possible, I know for a fact that the figurative translation is possible: People live on through our memories, and the legacies that they left behind.
~~"Have you ever heard a joke so many times, you've forgotten why it's funny? And then you hear it again and suddenly it's new? You remember why you loved it in the first place. That was my father's final joke, i guess. A man tells his stories so many times that he becomes the stories. They live on after him. And in that way, he becomes immortal." -Big Fish

Food for thought.

Udall-A place to learn, to grow, to achieve.

well that's our school motto, which i must say i find rather hysterical, because honestly, most of the things we do in school are anything but the three categories in the title. here, ill give you an example. Home Ec, a week ago:
Chris decides that the name "Chris" is not cool enough for him. So he re-names himself "Pina Colada Chris" a.k.a. P.C.C. or Mr. P.C.C. for short. so we're all like riiiiiiiiiight. So now its Tuesday, and I'm in Science. Tara comes in and i'm really bored so i get up and go to her desk to talk to her before the late bell rings. She tell's me her name is Tequila Tara. So I'm like, "Chris is apparentaly Pina Colada Chris now." So she's like, "Yeah, he ave me and Frankie names too, but i dont remember what Frankie's was." so now im like, "I want a cool alcoholic name!" So she tells me to ask Chris. So now it's 7th period Home Ec and i go "Chris, give me a cool alcoholic name! Like Tara's!" so now him and Corey are sitting there, trying to figure out a name for me. Finally Chris is like, "You like vodka?" and im like, "No, not particularly......" so Chris is like "Oh well, you get to be Absolute Ali." and Im like, "Ok, but I don't like vodka!" But Chris just goes back to his table. So now i'm sitting there, trying to think up another alcoholic beverage that starts with A, and all of a sudden i jump up and im like, "Chris!!! I want to be Appletini!!! Even if they suck!!!" and Chris is like, "Nope, that's it. You change your name and you're out of the club." first of all, who ever said anything about a club?!?!?!? but anyway, so then corey's like, "No, you're still in, and you can be Appletini." so snap, now i have a cool alcoholic name! and that should show you how completly wrong our school motto is. =)

P.S.....

I just realized that I recently changed my myspace to allow everyone to see it, so if you want to, click on the like to right. On the links menu. Because i don't feel like putting it here.

Pixie Stix - The 8th Grade Crack Equivalent

Well. This is the post where Ali describes her Birthday/Sleepover in great and pointless detail. exactly twenty-four hours of sleep later. i have to say, all in all, it went pretty well. but there were a few....er...."mishaps". So i shall start with the party's start at 4:30 pm on Friday.
Friday, December 16, 4:30 pm, EST:
After and hour and a half of preparation with Kristen, Kerri, and Michelle, people started to arrive. All fifteen of them. Presents piled up, and it got steadily louder downstairs. First thing we listened to was Under Pressure. Because David Bowie and Freddie Mercury are the man. Men. Mans. whatever. ok. so....then, you know, as we ingest frighteningly large amounts of soda, we break out the pixie stix, the skittles and sour skittles, m&ms, cheese doodles, chips and salsa, and, of course, m&m cookies! but mostly just the pixie stix. because everyone loves pixie stix. in fact, cora was telling me on thursday that she had been talking to Emily and asked her what we would do at the party. Emily replied, "In Ali's mind, anything." My answer to cora was, "She's right. All we need are Pixie Stix and a lighter." So once again, we broke out the pixie stix and were happily giving two to everyone, when Joelle showed up and decided to take fifty. So now she's walking around with fifty, randomly handing them out to people. It had to be like an hour into the party and i was like talking to someone i think, when amanda comes over to me and goes, "Ali, i ummm, spilled some soda...." So she takes me over to the table where the drinks are, and theres this little puddle around her cup. It wasn't huge so i didn't flip out. I ask her "Ok. How'd you spill it?" And get this, she goes, "I...ummm.....poured a pixie stick in it....." Ok. I am going to be very calm in saying this. Very calm. WHO DOES THAT?!?!?!?!?! ok. im good. don't worry amanda, we love you anyway. even though it does scare me slighlty that someone would pour pixie stick into their soda. so. back to the story. so we finish cleaning up the spill and we're standing there, making sure we didn't miss any, when joelle, who still has like, twenty pixie stix left, comes over and goes, "What happened?" so i go, "We had a bit of a pixie stick issue." so she gpes "Oh." and she proceeds to take two of her pixie sticks and pour them into amanda's coke. rite after we told her this. w. t. f?! so i like screamed at her. but it didnt overflow this time, which was good. so now im looking around and i notice i dont see kerri and chelle. so I go upstairs to find that they turned on my computer and are playing SimCity, which they proceed to tell me is only because they couldn't find The Sims2. Very comforting friends i have. So i kick them off the computer and set up a password. I go back downstairs to find them having Skittle Wars. which i mite add was fun, until Kriss managed to make a shelf fall out of the wall. (and kriss dont get mad @ me, im merely re-telling the story =0 !) So i dont know this yet, and all i do know is that Kriss and Julia are in the washroom to avoid being hit with skittles, and all of a sudden, theres this noise, and kriss comes out and goes, "Ali....the...er.....shelf...thingy....kinda of......fell." So we go into the washroom and the shelf behind the dryer where all the laundry detergent is is on the ground; the laundry detergent bottles are all over the place, and theres like three dents in the dryer vent where laundry detergent fell on it. So Im standing there, speechless, and kriss kinda left. So I'm trying to get the shelf back in the wall, and it wont because the little white tabs that were holding it in are split, and half is still on the wall, and the other half are attached to the shelf. So finally i go and get mother and bry and jess are there, about to leave, when i tell her, and bry looks at me, and then at mom and goes, "you want me to stay?" it was funny. ok. so. mom tells him no and she goes downstairs w. me. she made Kriss go and help clean up, and when we finished, i go upstairs to find kerri and chelle pretending to sleep on my bed. so they ask kwhat happened, and when i tell them, kerri goes, "That's it. Ali, you stay here, i Have to go yell at Kristen." and michelle goes, "Yeah Ali. Just hang out up here until you fell better." So Kerri comes back and goes "Kriss is crying and she says it wasn't all her fault." So i go downstairs and kriss proceeds to tell me that Julia took laundry detergent down and gave it to kriss who put it back on the shelf which then decided to collapse. I am making no comment on this bit. So. past the shelf fiasco, not much happened. I got a very good amount of presents, and $65. which like, trippled my christmas gift money! so now everyone gets nice presents! =). ok. so now its 7:00....everyone leaves except ash and meaghan, because im driving them to the dance. so we pick up kerri, and show up at udall, and it was so funny. we put our coats away, rite? and we're walking into the gym, and we're walking side by side, and we're all wearing pink, and rite as we turn into the doors, there's this wind from the door opening, and it blows all our hair back, like it was a movie, and we walk into the gym and kriss immediatly goes, "Whoa. That was like......Mean Girls." It was so funny. You had to see the movie to get that bit tho. So now its the dance, which i mite add was soooo lame. No one came because everyone knew it was only going to be 7th and 8th grade, and who's young moldable minds are we going to corrupt, if not the sixth graders? so there was like, maybe 7o people there. which is such a lame turn out. and zeitler kept turning the lights on and off, and what fun is it to dance in flourescent lighting? so the lame dance ends and ash, kerri, meaghan, jenn, and kriss come back to the house for the sleepover. Which was pretty good. We were gonna watch Hot Chick, and we're all ready, when we realize there's no DVD player downstairs, and since it's only 11:30, mom's still upstairs watching TV. So we talked until like 2:30, and then Kriss goes, "I really wanna watch the movie!" so we all go upstairs, at 2 am, and watch Hot Chick. and when it's finished at like 4......we're all pretty much dead. so we go back downstairs, and after eating one cookie, jenn and kerri pass out. i dont blame them. jenn was really sick and kerri doesnt usually last past 1 am. so me, kriss, ash, and meaghan are sitting, half asleep, eating whats left of the candy and cookies, and of course, 2o minutes later, we're all so sugar high and hyper it was frightening. so we're like, wrestling over mr. crabs, (my crabby, plushy husband ;) :P :) and listening to Good Charlotte(the volume was pretty low), at 5 am. This didn't last long. by like 5:45, we were all half asleep again. so we decided to go to sleep. Normally we would be up until about 7:30, but, the dance wore us all out, so we all woke up at like 9:30. and we talked. and we watched the Westbrook play from when i was in 5th grade, Annie and Oliver, and we were laughing at all our friends who are guys and how completely stupid and infantile they looked. and then we had french toast and everyone left, and managed to forget half their stuff. and then i thoroughly cleaned downstairs, and then i watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (my b-day gift from Emily). I <3 that movie. lol. So that was my birthday bash. And this is like the longest post ever. =).

(= .The End. =)

Rethinking it.....

apparenlty budweiser is not the family beer favorite. so im switching to corona. corona is good rite? tastes ok anyways. let's see if that will fly with the sises. or would it be sis's. im confuzzling myself again. the doctor said thinking was bad for my brain. the point is, perhaps you guys will be ok with corona. because guess what? i am from the moon and my civilazation is far more advanced then you could ever comprehend with 100% of your brain. you see there is no gravity on the moon; therefore our high-jump is beyond all measurement.
that was todays indirect ATHF quote. here is today's direct ATFH quote:
Shake: C'mon dawg! I mean, you get it.....you're black!
Frylock*stares at shake*
Shake: Well.....you sound black......."
Frylock*continues to stare at Shake*
Shake: .....Where are you from?"
Meatwad: GODAMNIT! Who cares?!
well.....much love, and wishing for luck with the big b-day bash 2morrow.......

IwannaponyandaBarbieandaprincessgownandadollyandaBarbieRidesPoniesgameforthecom-put-ei thingyandaTomogotchiandanewTVandaCDandanewcoatandaaaummmmidontknowjustgetmemore!
just kidding. but honestly, that's how small children talk these days. so what do i really want? hmmmmmm.......well i don't really care actually. my mom asked me the same thing and i thought about it a really long time and finally i just told her new hoop earings. im not very good at birthday presents, because everything i want i'm asking for for christmas. and i know my friends will just get me something funny. so i dont really care. im just so siked about my birthday, cuz like, it's been forever since i did something special for my birthday, let alone have a party. and this year im doing both! so here you go:
Friday, December 9th (My Birthday!): Wake up Early for Orchestra Dress Rehearsel. or however you spell it. Go to Homeroom to find Oh! My friends have wrapped my locker! (i swear to god, we had better not get a delayed opening. i will seriously start cursing at the sky.) Then, I live through 6 periods of people signing my locker and wishing me happy birthday, and then at the beginning of seventh period, i get to leave! my daddy's picking me up! and then we're driving into the city to see the Chronicles of Narnia (which, I might add, opens on my birthday! :D), in IMAX!!!!!!! IN MANHATTAN!!!!!!!! SO SNAP! and then, we're going to dinner and to see the Tree. The Tree. The Rockefella Center Oh-My-God-It's-So-Tall Tree. lol. and THEN....the NEXT Friday, the 16th of December, is my P.A.R.T.Y.!
Friday, December 16, (My Party): I go to school, live through nine periods of unbearable anticipation, Kerri and Gabby come home on the bus with me, and we wait until 4:30. Then, the party starts. 16 girls. a birthday party. 2 and a half hours. it's gonna be insane. and THEN, after my party *ends* at 7:00 pm, the Christmas Dance starts at 7:30. Does anyone besides myself find that *so* cool? and THEN, 6 of my friends come back to the house for an afta-party sleepova! that is gonna be the coolest. freakin. day. ever. swear to god. this is gonna be so so so so *so* great! :) :) :) :(just kiddin! ;) <3 always from Ali's Birthday Countdown!.

I'm In Love

ok, i swear to god, whoever is in charge of the ipod online advertising campign is a geinus. like, they should get an award. i was finishing up my christmas list today, and i decided to check out how much an ipod would cost. so i googled it and ended up at apple.com. i then proceeded to go through the tour thingy for the "New Ipod". Not the mini, not the shuffle, not the nano. Just the new Ipod. and i swear im in love. i was like sitting at my computer going "well it isn't that much money. All in all it's a very good buy....all those awesome features for $299." I mean come on. It has freakin audio books on there. and music videos. and a photo center. *and* podcasts. although i have no. flipping. idea wtf they are. *and* i can watch TV episodes like *cough cough* LOST. i mean that is the coolest thing *ever*. i almost made it my background on windows. and i completly revised my parental christmas list to make room for it. now all im asking for from my parents is a new notebook, the new switchfoot CD, and MarioPArty7 for Gamecube, and the ipod. only *3* other things. but i figured i may as well just not ask for any other CD's because i can just get the certain songs i want from iTunes. well time to jet. here: fall in love for yourself: http://www.apple.com/ipod/features.html
