It was raining again today.

In Math we learned about least common denominator.

In JS we watched more of the Golda Meir movie. The guy who plays her husband is the guy who played Spock in the old Star Trek. xD

In Humanities we watched a video of an awesome college lecture on the history of English.

Lunch I read.

Instead of another period of Humanities we had an extra period of Hebrew. xP We talked about some random stuff that I'm blanking on at the moment.

Second period of Hebrew we talked about future tense.

Recess I read.

In double Computers we had a sub but it really didn't make much difference. About a half hour into the period I finished my wiki page on Poseidon and tried to save it but it said I was logged out. When I clicked on log in, it put me back to the page I was on before. Just as this happened, the sub left the room. I put my name on the help list and spent ten minutes trying to fix it, including quitting the program multiple times and even restarting the computer. Just as I fixed it, the sub walked back in. -sigh- Other than that, it was a pretty productive class. I got... three pages done, I think.

When I got on the bus I tried to call my dad to ask him to pick me up at the library but he was apparently in the shower and didn't answer the phone. xP So I had to walk home in the rain. Fun.

MLIA(s) of the day:

Today, I was at a chocolate shop and I bought the last cookie they had. The two rich, hungry business men behind me also wanted a cookie and so they started an auction for it. I sold a cookie for £30

I was waiting in line in KFC the other day and I overheard the people at the front of the queue arguing with the cashier. Apparently, KFC had sold out of chicken. The customer asked, "How can you run out of chicken? This is KFC!" to which the cashier replied, "What else are we supposed to run out of?" Well played, KFC employee, well played.

Today I had to get blood drawn. The nurse took my blood and went to get a band-aid for the needle mark. She came back in with a a plain band-aid I jokingly said I was hoping for Bugs bunny. She leaves to get paper work and comes back with six band-aids all with pen drawn smiley faces and proceeded to stick them all over my arm then told me to run out in to waiting room screaming "she missed, she missed". Best nurse ever. MLIA.

Today, it was Pre-Millennium day in our school. Everyone dressed up hippie, retro, or something in the 60's or 80's. I came as a dinosaur. Win. MLIA

Today I found out I am the understudy for the lead in my school play. When i passed the lead in the hallway, I told him to break a leg. He proceeded to fall down the stairs and fracture his femur. Win. MLIA

Today, four different people wished me a happy birthday. One of them was a complete stranger. I have no idea why, since my birthday's in April. MLIA

Today, I went to a local school to volunteer with the kindergarten class. I helped give a test on what things were real and make believe. Every single child answered that cows are make believe and dragons are real. I have high hopes for our future generation. MLIA.

The other day, I was in math class. There is a computer on every table, so most people play around on Facebook during the lecture. Suddenly, the Farmville music blasted from somewhere in the room. The professor automatically stopped everything and checked all the computers in the room. I then saw the girl next to me smile as people got busted for Facebook, as she pulled out her phone. Suddenly the Farmville music stopped after she hit a button. Genius. MLIA.

Today, I sent my female friend a text to ask her to a platonic lunch. I tried to text "are we eating?" but it came out "are we dating?" I didn't notice, and she responded with "haha no." I still didn't know what I texted, so I said "why not?" She explained her feelings toward me. We had a define-the-relationship talk without me knowing. MLIA

Today, I got a math quiz back. I had recieved 2 bonus points for drawing a smiley face next to my name, which had been in the directions. He had written the "secret message" to see how many people actually read the directions. I didn't, but just drew it because I wanted to. I'm considering not telling. MLIA

On Halloween night I was trick-or-treating with my friend. I came across this man dressed in a Darth Vader costume. He looks at me and says, "I am your father." I was very freaked out until he took off his mask. Turns out, he actually was my dad. MLIA

Today, while I was on a trip to France, there was an old British man (80 or so) who was having trouble with the customs officer. When the French officer asked if the old man been to France before, he said yes. Then the French guy got mad saying that he should've had his passport ready. The old British man, without missing a beat, said, "Well, the last time I was in France, it was D-Day and there was no bloody Frenchman to give my passport to." Pip-pip cherrios to you, old man. MLIA.

Every year, my family and I go tubing along the Chattahoochee River. Since the river rushes so fast, people often lose their shoes. One house alongside the river has a tree on which they hang tons and tons of shoes. A wooden sign is nailed to it saying, "Lost soles". Every year for five years this has made me laugh. MLIA

I'm a cop. A little while back, I pulled over a girl for speeding. She was just about the same age as me and started flirting with me in every way possible. I went back to my car and returned a few minutes later with a ticket. As I handed her the ticket, she got all upset and said, "What? I thought you don't give tickets to pretty girls!" My response? "I don't." MLIA

Yesterday, I babysat my six year old cousin. He took my grandmas fake fur coat, put it on backwards like a snuggie, and started growling and swinging his arms. When I asked him what he was doing, he said he was bored and they learned about the Bill of rights in school, so he was using his rights to Bear Arms. MLIA

Today, I started dozing off in my geometry class. When I snapped awake when my teacher called my name and asked me what the answer was, I automatically said "42." and then she went on a rant as to why is was right. I guess 42 really IS the answer to everything. MLIA

Today, I told one of my mom's friends that my mom and Hitler have the same birthday. Then, I said, "Coincidence?" and my younger sister in the other room yelled, "I think not!" I have taught her well. MLIA.

Today I was in science class with my friend (who has a afro) he was extremely tired so he fell asleep after a few minutes into class. The entire time I was stuffing pencils and pens in his hair to see how much his hair will hold. My teacher saw me and stopped talking. He took his pen he was holding and put it in my friend's hair. He was completely amazed and the whole class spent the rest of class stuffing different thing in my friend's hair. My friend didn't wake up at all and was really confused when he finally woke up at the end of class. MLIA.

Today, while waiting for the bus I noticed a penny on the ground. I quickly bent over to pick it up just in case I needed it for good luck. When I got back up I saw an old lady running across the street yelling, "you'll never catch me and my lucky charms." About three seconds later a kid about 12 years old runs after her screaming "Grandma come back!" When I see this kid later I will give him my lucky penny.

Today I went to CVS to buy some medical supplies. The cashier asked why I was buying them since I didn't look injured and I told him "I was stocking up for the end of the world". He rang up the total only for it to come to $20.12. MLIA

Today I was sitting at a bus stop when a man of about 40 who was sitting by himself began laughing hysterically. At first I was concerned for his mental health and tried to ignore him. Soon enough the man was laughing so loudly and genuinely that the rest of us at the bus stop couldn't help but laugh ourselves. After about five minutes of non stop laughing the man abruptly stopped and fell asleep. I have never laughed so hard in my entire life. Thank you mysterious laughing man. You made my day!

Today, I was playing with my puppy. He started chasing his tail. I laughed at how stupid he is. I then walked into the door frame. I won't judge him again. MLIA

Today I put my iPod on shuffle. When the song "How to Save a Life" came up I skipped it. I Then didn't know how to respond when the next two songs that came up were "Help!" and "Save Me". MLIA

Today I checked into my hotel room. When I went to the bathroom I saw there were bite marks on the toilet. It makes me wonder... MLIA.

Today, my Dad dropped the ball and told my little siblings that we're moving to Arizona this summer. My seven year old sister starts bawling. After about three hours, when we get her to calm down and tell us what her problem is, she says is a distressed voice, "I don't know how to speak Arizona." MLIA.

Today I was putting on one of those fake tattoos. It had been a while since the last time I put one on, so I forgot whether you use hot or cold water. To be safe, I did a minute of hot water, and a minute of cold. Turns out neither worked because I never took the plastic off. MLIA.

Today I was shopping at a christmas store. I was in a section filled with lots of very delicate glass angels and such when I overheard a mother talking to her young son. "Now Johnny, remember that saying: You break it, you get sold into child labor." MLIA

I was going to the washroom, and looking at the washroom graffiti. I noticed that someone had written HAHA on the empty toilet paper roll. I didnt understand at all. Then I reached for some toilet paper. Oh. MLIA

Last week, my English teacher scheduled for our class to be in the computer lab to work on our essays. The second day we were in the lab, a cheerleader raised her hand and asked if he wanted these essays typed. MLIA.

Today my father and i went to the mall for some "bonding time." We decided to pull a prank on the mall Santa so he hid behind a tree that was there for decoration and i sat on Santa's lap (im a 16 year old male). When he asked me what i wanted for christmas i started to tear up and told him (with my best acting) that i wanted to see my daddy again. My dad leaped from behind the tree and screamed my name. We embraced crying. Santas face made my day. MLIA.

Today, in church, we got to the point of mass where you wish peace to those around you. My 6 year old brother got confused and started saying "May the force be with you" instead of "May peace be with you." No one felt the need to correct him. MLIA.

Today, while driving, I passed a sign saying "If you lived here, you would be home now." MLIA

This morning, my dad told me about how last night he dreamt that in the middle of the night, I was in his room and I said, "The chipmunk is swimming away! If you listen, you can hear the banana pickle!". It wasn't a dream. I went into his room to get my laptop back and when he woke up I said something weird so he would think he was dreaming if he remembered it. MLIA

Today, my friends were listing things that they love to do. Not really listening, I blurted out "Well, I love sleeping. I just never get tired of it." No one else got the pun that I accidentally stumbled upon. MLIA

Today, I was driving to my cousins new house to help him move in. I put his address into my gps and it couldn't locate it. He lives on Waldo Drive. MLIA

Today, I managed to say "pika" before i sneezed. The light in my room turned off in a bang, leaving black smoke in my ceiling. I am totally convinced I'm a pokemon. MLIA.

Today, I went to IHOP for breakfast. The kids coloring page had a game on it that said "Count how many footballs you can find in the picture!" and under it said "Hint: There are 10." I enjoy the fact that even IHOP knows how some people are just too tired to count footballs in the morning. MLIA

Yesterday I was watching a movie with a friend and eating M'Ms. She handed me all of the brown ones and said "I dont like the chocolate ones". I'm still confused. MLIA

xD I loved all those MLIAs . . . especially the Santa, force, and cop one.
