Awesome Cartoon People

        So lately, I have been all into cartoons.  Not the shows, but the people and how they are drawn.  Like for the past couple of weeks, my cousin and I have been sending eachother pictures that we find on the internet of weird faces the characters from Spongebob.  There are some where their faces are deflated and some where they look deformed and they are hilarious! If I'm having a bad day at school, I pull out my phone at the end of the day and always have hilarious pictures on there and they make me laugh!
        Also, I have been all into Abby Cadabby lately.  I found an Abby Cadabby bracelet in my room and then I was like...whoa! Abby Cadabby is AWESOME!!! Sophia and I have been arguing lately about which Sesame Street is better, Zoey or Abby Cadabby and we all know Zoey has nothing on Abby.  She is super cute and I'm going to draw an evil picture of her, which leads me to my next topic...
        Gabby showed me the pictures about the evil Disney Princesses (the ones she blogged about) and I love them!! They are the ones who inspired me to make an evil Abby Cadabby picture.  I think they are so cool and I want to get a tattoo of the Alice in Wonderland one.  I also want to be the Cheshire Cat for Halloween this year! Tell me what your favorite cartoon people are!

Dubstep Face Kid

        So my Awesome Uncle showed me a video called Dubstep Face.  The song First of the Year (Equinox) by Skrillex is playing and theres a kid using like a webcam or something on him while the song is playing.  So with the music, this kid is making faces to all the weird little dubstep noises and its HILARIOUS!!!! I've watched it like ten times and it never gets old!  I'm not gonna lie I've even tried to make some of the faces but I've got nothing on that kid.
        I don't know how it came across a teenage boy to make himself look like he's being electricuted and/or having a seizure and put it on YouTube, but I bet he's glad he did!  The dude went viral! I don't know if being famous for being the freak who makes faces to dubstep songs is exactly something to be proud of, but hey I guess everyone has their thing. 
        If I knew that guy personally, I bet he would be a great person to party with!  I love when people can be themselves, no matter how weird they are.  And, I could take him to parties and he could teach me how to make faces to sound effects.  That would be awesome.  I also wonder if he has (or ever will get) a girlfriend.  She's gotta be either a freak or really really nice.  This guy is super weird, and if you want to know what I mean, go on YouTube and look up Dubstep Face.
     

Rock/Metal

           So I ask people what kind of music they like, and when nobody says rock, I ask them, “Do you like rock?” I always get answers like, “Some.  I don’t like Screamo” and I’m like okay I didn’t ask if you like screamo but whatever.  Nobody understands the different types of “rock”. 

I should be asking if they like metal, but people probably think that’s the crazy stuff that sounds like Cookie Monster, but no, children, that is death metal.  Metal is just bands like Avenged Sevenfold (my favorite band) Slipknot, Hatebreed, etc.  I know you probably don’t know most of these bands, but that’s what metal is.  Rock on the other hand is stuff like Flyleaf, My Darkest Days, Skillet, etc.  There’s also Alternative rock like Linkin Park, Seether, Three Days Grace, and those are probably more of the bands that are played on the radio.

There’s stuff that people are all like oh yeah I like rock!  I like Fall Out Boy, Vampire Weekend, and A Day To Remember!  I’m like NO!!!  Those are lame excuses for rock in my opinion.  That’s what they play on The Edge now that some new chick took over and made everything (I have to put this in appropriate terms) criss-crossed.  Sorry if you like these bands, I’m just saying that they aren’t rock.  They are like punk or indie rock or something weird.  Just get your genres right people!

Wedding Music

        Does anyone else already have their playlist planned for their wedding, or even a couple songs in mind?  I obviously have no idea who I'm getting married to, but it doesn't change the songs I'm playing.  There are slow songs, like slow dancing songs (even though I'm not all for dancing like that) like "Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion and "From This Moment" by Shania Twain.  I'm definately going to play Warmness on the Soul by Avenged Sevenfold (maybe I'll even play it on piano and/or guitar!) I'm also thinking about Whenever You Remember by Carrie Underwood and Mary's Song by Taylor Swift. Thats gonna be a lot of dancing!
        I'm definately going to play some dancing songs too, like pop.  Yeah! by Usher for sure! We'll even get some Soulja Boy and stuff up in it!  It's my wedding, and I plan on marrying a rocker dude, so we'll have some metal in there for sure!  Country...eh.  Maybe Whatever It Is by Zac Brown Band, but I guess that's it.
       So, if I keep in touch with anyone now and you go to my wedding, you will totally hear these songs!  I promise!  Also, if you have any songs in mind for your wedding, I want to hear them! And if you need a piano player, I'm your girl!

Fun Things To Do In Albuquerque???

        Okay, so my friends and I love to hang out outside of school.  Thing is, what do we do?  We've been roller skating a few times, but there are too many people there that we don't want to deal with.  We have also went bowling, but the guy at the little ghetto place we go to knows us so he puts us in his sight like were some kind of delinquents.  We could go Putt-Putting, but it's too cold and I don't even know if anyone does that anymore.
        I thought of going bowling at the casino, but I don't know if anyone else's parents would let them.  There is also ice skating, but I don't know!  We need some sort of teen club in Albuquerque! I think we had one once, but being New Mexico, dumb kids had to ruin it with drugs and stuff.  We at least need like some sort of place for teens to hang out, or something where there won't be too many teens (because teens these days are obnoxious).
       My point is that my friends and I are tired of just staying home and trying to figure out what to do on the weekends.  If you have any ideas or anything, comment below and share your feelings! Haha

Boba Tea

        So at the mall, you may pass by a place called Boba Tea Company.  You also might see pictures of smoothie looking drinks with black things on the bottom.  That's Boba Tea!  Not only is Boba Tea super good, but its really fun to drink!  The little black things (the bobas) at the bottom are so fun to chew on while you drink the tea.  Also, they seal the top of your cup with plastic and give you this HUGE straw to drink the bobas with.  I love how you have to stab the straw into the plastic!
        I also love the flavors.  They have tea and smoothies.  I have never had a smoothie there, but I drink tea with different flavors and it is super good!  They have fruity flavors and even stuff like chocolate and vanilla.  They even have different kinds of tea like white, black, and green.  I personally like white tea, but I haven't tried the other ones because they kind of scare me.
        People probably think I'm weird because I drink Boba Tea (which is a little true, because if you see the people there, they are kind of weird) but you have to try it! I promise its good!  Even if you go and you don't like it, go back and get something new.  That's what I did and now I'm like hooked on it!

American Idol

        So some of you may know, American Idol season 11 starts tomorrow.  I am really excited for a few reasons!! The first is to see the judges.  The judges are Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler, and the dawg that has been there since day one, Randy Jackson! I love how J-Lo is so sweet, Randy is honest and Steven Tyler is just downright amazing.  The judges before were okay, but these ones are by far the best (thanks to Steven).  I think that they are reaching out to help the singers more and becoming closer to them.
        The second reason I'm excited is because we will discover one, if not more, great singers!  Last year, Scotty McCreery won and he already has an album.  Runner-up Lauren Alaina is doing great also.  I am proud because both the runner up and the winner are making a career out of music.  Some years, people would win the show and you would never see them again.  I'm like, isn't American Idol supposed to be a way to be a famous singer? I don't know what those people were thinking.
       Anyways, I'm also psyched to see the funny auditions.  They always say people are crazy and if you don't believe it, just watch American Idol.  There is some really weird people on there.  My dad hates to watch the auditions because he watches the show to see good singers, but personally, I like to watch people make absolute fools of themselves in front of the entire country.

Random things I hate

        Has there ever been anything not living that just irritates the fudge outta you? Like it never did anything bad to you, you just can't stand it? It may be just me, but I have a strong hate for dumb things.  First of all, I hate tape.  This started in Mr. Cordova's class when he made us tape stuff into our notebooks.  The tape wont come off of the holder, the holder cuts you, and then it smears your handwriting.  Am I just dumb and don't know how to work tape, or is tape just stupid? I don't know, but every time we have to use tape in science I look at Gabby with a scowl on my face and she laughs probably cause I have anger problems.
        Another thing I hate is graph paper.  I admit that graph paper is really useful and it makes any nerds life easier.  I just don't like it!! It just makes my notes look sloppy cause it has all kinds of lines and what not.  And then you try to write on the lines like your all perfect but the squares are so small yor writing turns into like this microscopic robot font. 
        The last things I hate are the things that you block the outlets with and kid leashes.  First of all, why????  If your baby gets electricuted, OH WELL!!!! Maybe you'll get a genius Albert Einstein kid with anti gravity hair.  Second, your kid is not a freakin dog!! If you want them to behave, you have to be strict.  They are not gonna take you seriously when you tie a string and a monkey backpack to them./ They're probably laughing on the inside.  Anyways, if there's anything random that you absolutely hate, comment because I wanna know if I'm the only person who hates dumb things!

Sophia's party!!!

        Alright so on New Years Eve, Sophia had the most epic party ever!!  Out of the six of us, three pulled an all nighter and three only slept for about an hour.  We stayed up and had the time of our lives!! We did karaoke, ate chips and this really good chicken dip that sophia made, talked, watched the ball drop, drank apple cider, and just partied!!  It was definately a great way to start off the new year, hanging with my girls without a care in the world!!
        The food was awesome!! Sophia made this chicken dip and it was orange!! I dont know why, but it made it even more interesting.  It was spicy because thats how we do it, spicy.  Julia thinks it flinched so now she swears the chicken dip was alive.  Maybe she had a little too much apple cider.  Anyways, we also had subs that were really really good!!  And we drank Dr. Pepper (the best soda ever!) and Coke (not the best, but still good).
        Also, the games we played were really fun!  We played The Game of Things...well our special twisted version of it, and fact or crap, which only lasted like 5 minutes.  We did karaoke, where Sophia and I sang We Belong Together by Mariah Carey about three times.  We sang a few other soongs, but no one knew them so we were just muttering words. It was pretty funny!
       We had so many funny moments!  Julia fell down Sophia's stairs and we watched her little brother's friend sleep (he was adorable).  We also got to see Sophia's litle brother dance, which was pretty interesting.  In the morning, we watched Jersey Shore and that was obviously a good time!  We have the best photos, videos, and memories from that night!! I have to say that was the best New Years Eve party I've ever been to!
       

Aide

        So I'm a student aide for Mrs. McCance.  I know people probably think being alone with a teacher for an hour and grading their papers is boring, but it really is fun!  You get a chance to finish your homework during school and you get to know that specific teacher a little better than everyone else does.  It's really cool because you get to see how teachers are when they're not in teacher mode and they're pretty cool!!
        As a reward for being awesome aides, Ryan, Amy, Ahlee and I got to go to lunch with the teachers at Rudy's!  It was super fun and super yummy.  The teachers bought us lunch and some other really generous things and it was so nice! We even got to miss 6th period (not that I don't like your class Mr. Peckens) and, like I said, see our teachers in their true personality modes.
        We laughed so much and had lots of fun during that lunch.  I also made Mrs. McCance my new BTF (Best Teacher Friend).  Now that the new semester is coming, the teachers are all getting new aides and I'm kinda sad!  So, whoever's an aide next semester, especially Mrs. McCance's, be good to them!  They're awesome teachers!

December

        Soo its "the most wonderful time of the year," or so they say.. It's definately the most crazy time of the year! Well, for me anyways. I have Christmas shopping, my birthday, a science project, and some other chiz. I know its supposed to be this jolly time and like vacation time, but its so crazy I barely have time to breathe!
        For winter break, I'm like okay cool just one more week but the teachers are like ooh you have a test and a project and your failing and another project and you need to study and this and that and WE HATE YOU!!!!! Thats kind of what it seems like, and then we have a vacation thats just as busy! Were running around like crazy people trying to get ready for the holidays; baking, decorating, and shopping like crazy! Were gonna be BROKE by new years!!
        Then there's the science project. It's like "Have a Merry Christmas, you get a break for the birthday of Jesus, but we want you to do a huge project, yet still spend time with your families!" Like, how in the heck are we supposed to do that?! Anyways, I'm sure it'll all go away once the holidays actually come. I think and hope that once we come back that everyone will be in a better mood, including me.

Black Friday

        It's that time of year again!  Crazy ladies everywhere are training like that girl on the target commercial and senior citezens are getting thier canes ready to whack anyone who gets in their way.  My parents left to go shopping at 10pm Thanksgiving night and got back at 6 in the morning!!!!  And they didn't even buy that much!
        Black Friday is pretty much a holiday.  Its really cool going shopping in your pajamas in the middle of the night to get deals on tv's and other things.  However, I think it's kind of dumb how the Black Friday sales and door-openings are starting on Thanksgiving.  First of all, Thanksgiving is about spending time and being THANKFUL for what you have, not being greedy and leaving your family to buy stuff.  Thats what Black Friday is for!
        Leave your comments on what you think about this, what you did on Black Friday, or anything else you'd like to share!

Modern Family

        There's a show on ABC (channel 7) called Modern Family.  If any of you have seen it, it is like the most hilarious show ever!! It's called Modern Family becuase obviously it is about families that are somewhat like families today, but WAY more exaggerated.  There are three families..I'll tell you about them:
        The first family is Claire and Phil with their kids Hayley, Alex, and Luke.  Phil is an idiot and he is really dumb.  Hayley is a teenager and is always wanting to take crazy risks.  Alex is a nerd and Luke, like his dad, is not very bright.  One time he got his head stuck in between the bars on the stairs.
        The second family is Jay (Claire's dad) his wife Gloria, and her son Manny.  Gloria is really young, young enough to be Jay's daughter, and is really pretty.  Jay is an older guy and Manny is a kid who acts like an adult.  He always sends love notes to women who are like old enough to be his mom.
        The third and BEST family is the gays, Cameron and Mitchell (Mitchell is Claire's brother).  They have an Asian daughter named Lily.  They adopted her from Vietnam.  Their funniest moment was when they locked Lily in the car and Cam was screaming, "I'M BREAKING THE WINDOOOOW!!!!!!" while Mitchell was on the phone and the lady was like, "Sir, tell your wife to calm down" and Mitchell said "That's a man..."
        You should really  watch Modern Family, its epic!!!!

Freakout kid!

        So my dad showed me a video on Youtube called Greatest Freakout Ever.  I showed my friends and then we found like 15 other freakout videos of the same kid, Steven!  There are so many different crazy things he does for so many stupid reasons!  There was one where he took a gymnastics class, lit a christmas tree on fire, broke a $3000 tv set, threw a microwave outside, hit his truck with a baseball bat, and more!
        I really feel bad for this kid, though.  I mean, he obviously has something wrong with him, but theres not like theres anything I can do, so I laugh at him! I also feel bad for the parents. You can tell that they've got a LOT of patience for not giving that kid away.  On the other hand, they're always yelling at him, but still...
        Anyway, you should really watch the Greatest Freakout Ever videos on Youtube.  They are super hilarious and they make you feel normal!
~Alyssa

p.s here is a link for the first (and best) video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YersIyzsOpc

Ghetto Kids

        Alright so a bunch of you probably know that November 2nd was Dia de los Muertos.  For those of you who may need a translation, thats Day of the Dead.  Anyway, there was this parade in the south valley for it and I went with my parents and my cousins.  So you know how they give out candy? It's like thats all the people came for! It was REDICULOUS.....
        So we were standing right behind a bunch of kids, and I think you can put the pieces together on that.  Everytime people in the parade walk by and throw out candy, those kids act like they're gonna die if they don't get it! There was this lilttle girl who was probably about three, and next to her were these two boys who were probably like eleven and they would like literally DIVE for the candy! Im like seriously?!?!?  Let the three year old get it! Even my dad was like oh my gosh I hate ghetto kids.
        And then the people who were "giving out candy" were flipping crazy!!!! My mom got hit in the face with a box of Dots and I got hit in the leg with a lollipop! It was so violent!  Kids, when your parents tell you to stay away from the gangsters and the ghetto, take their word! You might get knocked out with candy!

Kitchen & bath

        I was sitting here and I was like what should I blog about? So I Googled blog topic ideas and I came across like the dumbest topics.... There were different categories such as family, music, food, and home & gardening.  In that category, there were different topics, and one said kitchen & bath.  Yes, kitchen and bath.  I mean i know people are bored and thats why they have blogs, but kitchen & bath, really?
        So if you had a kitchen & bath blog, what exactly would you say?  Oooh my microwave should go under the toaster instead of next to the stove! Or, bath salt makes my water pink!  How about kitchen & bath combined?  Actually that wouldn't work, because half of the things in your kitchen would electricute you if you put them in your bathtub. 
        Therefore, the blog topic kitchen & bath is really stupid.  Even just a kitchen or just a bath is kind of weird.  I mean, like, for real, nobody cares when you're cooking or washing your dirty butt.  People really need lives.

Occupations

        My friends and I were talking about what we think were going to be when we grow up and we got some pretty weird things.  We have Gabby working at the library, Julia on QVC, Ayse as a weird forrest person at the Bosque, Sophia as a lawyer, Amy as a principal, and me as a Hollywood tour guide. You might ask, how do we make these assumptions?? Well, i really don't know, but I'll try to explain.
        Gabby, of course, is the smart one and Julia just has that type of voice and face, you know? Ayse is just really jumpy, outgoing, and likes animals. Sophia likes to debate and Amy is just that kind of person. I would be a Hollywood tour guide because apparently I'm the "celebrity stalker".
        Comment about what you think of these and give your opinion about yourself, the nerd herd, or anyone else! Thanks!

Tattoos!

        Alright, so this is the second post about tattoos (the first one was Gabby's and it was my idea, no offense) Anyway, hers was about what tattoos she wanted, mine is going to be about tattoos in general. 
        I am sure most of you get this from your parents: "Tattoos are abusing your body! You don't need tattoos! You can never have tattoos!" This rule is simply stupid which is why most teenagers don't follow it. Tattoos are a self expression and they're just totally awesome! My parents, on the other hand, say the opposite of what most say. The conversation goes "Oh, Alyssa, you should get tattoos when your old enough!" "Mom, I'm not sure I want many tattoos, maybe just small ones." "You should get some though, theyre really cool!" Don't get me wrong my parents are really good parents, they just have gages and tattoos and my mom has black and red hair. 
        I really want to know your opinions on tattoos, so leave a comment! And vote on my weekly poll!

Music!

        Ok, so the popular music right now is pop and hip-hop. People like this....why? Autotune, music from computers that sounds like a video game, and pointless lyrics are so in right now! Not very many people like country or rock because its either depressing or scary. Jazz is also another type, but they don't really have that anymore.
        I'm not the biggest fan of country (just Zac Brown Band and Taylor Swift, woohoo!) but i think country singers and bands deserve a lot more credit than they get. This is because they use actual instruments, and playing instruments actually requires talent. Anyone can sing with autotune and make fake music.
        Rock on the other hand is the same.  People don't like it because of the screaming and the hard music.  In their defense, it is really hard to scream like that (don't try it, it hurts) and the guitar picking and drum beats are really fast since the music is really upbeat. I also think that rock/metal people should get more credit.
        Comment about what kind of music you like and vote on my poll please! Thanks!

Halloween!

        Ok, so as you know Halloween is coming! And don't ever say you're too old to dress up, go trick-or-treating, or scaring little kids (just kidding). Wether you dress up as Michael Meyers, a Q-tip, or a cop who should be arrested for having a too-short dress, Halloween is totally celebrate-worthy!
        For Halloween, I'm going to be a nerd/vampire! I've always thought it would be cool to be something dressed up as something else, so I'm going as a nerd dressed like a vampire (or a vampire dressed like a nerd???) and I think I'm going trick-or-treating with my little cousins!
        So now its your turn, tell me what you're going to be and what your doing! And vote on my poll!
