Dippin' Dots-noun
Dippin' Dots are tiny beads of ice cream. They are said to be "the worlds coldest ice cream" due to the fact that they are kept frozen at -40 degrees.
There are multiple flavors:
Banana Slpit, Chocolate, Vanilla, Cookie Dough, Cookies and Cream, Bubble Gum, Java Delight, Cotton Candy, Peanut Butter, and Strawberry.
Dippin' Dots are often found in amusement parks, stadiums, malls, and fairs.
When dippin' dots are left to melt in the sun, they leave an unforgettable odor; it's very nasty.
Motto:
Ice cream of the future!
Note: they are often overpriced. (8 dollars for 8 oz)
Rich: I could use some ice cream.
Chris: Let's go get some dippin' dots!
Rich: But i only have 4 dollars.
Chris: that's ok, you can get a 3 oz cup!

In Intercessory Prayer
Guess who has their PJ's on inside out and is praying for a snow day? ME!! 1 inch supposed to fall tonight and already some on the ground. PRAY SAINTS, PRAY!!!
The Day at a Glance
*Note: For those of you who dislike or preferred my old layout better, I was trying to make my blog more user-friendly for readers who have more archaic means of internet (i.e. dial-up) and the layout took forever to load.
I had a rather interesting day today. I had my debate for English today and was extremely nervous about it. With good reason. My team lost 19-2. Ouch. Using my definition of the day- we got "pwn'd".
In Study Hall, I realized that the school has decided to install a new system that blocks pretty much everything. Including Blogger. This is not fun. I also decided to do a research project on the Holy Grail, rather than the sequel to Camelot.
This week, I have not gotten to bed before 11:15-11:30. This is making me very tired. I intend on sleeping in the car on the way to Minerva tonight. Anyway, we were taking notes on cellular respiration, photosynthesis, and fermentation, and why this simply fascinates me, as I was taking notes, I managed to drift off for about 30 seconds every 5 minutes or so. It was quite annoying.
In Spanish we watched Shrek.
In World Studies we had a pop quiz.
In Geometry I got the highest grade on the quiz although I was absent yesterday and missed 1/3 of the material for the quiz. It rocked.

PWN (verb) (Pronounced pone)

2. Great, ingenious; applied to methods and objects.
Originally dates back to the days of WarCraft, when a map designer mispelled "Own" as "Pwn". What was originally supose to be "player has been owned." was "player has been pwned".

1. "I pwn these guys on battlenet"
2. "This strategy pwns!" or "This game pwn."

Brain Lock
This stupid Arthurian project has to be ready on Tuesday and I have brain lock. I am giving serious thought to just doing a poster. Play writing is too hard.
Today is another messed up day. I have to go to the Career Center today so that they canbribe persuade us fairly to come to their school next year. My friend, Jessica, is in Health Technologies, so I signed up for that, so that maybe I will see her and class won't be so boring. Most of my friends last names are in the beginning of the alphabet, so they are going this morning, but mine is at the end, so I don't get to go till later. Bummer.

lol- abbreviation
It's original definition was "Laughing out loud" (also written occasionally as "Lots of Laughs"), used as a brief acronym to denote great amusement in chat conversations.
Now, it is overused to the point where nobody laughs out loud when they say it. In fact, they probably don't even give a care about what you just wrote. More accurately, the acronym "lol" should be redefined as "Lack of laughter."
Depending on the chatter, its definition may vary. The list of its meanings includes, but is not limited to:
1) "I have nothing worthwhile to contribute to this conversation."
2) "I'm too lazy to read what you just wrote so I'm typing something useless in hopes that you'll think I'm still paying attention."
3) "Your statement lacks even the vaguest trace of humor but I'll pretend I'm amused."
4) "This is a pointless acronym I'm sticking in my sentence just because it's become so engraved into my mind that when chatting, I MUST use the meaningless sentence-filler 'lol.'"
See: rofl, heh, haha, lolol, and 120 for similarities.
Statement: Sorry if I'm not too cheery, my best friend just died yesterday.
Worthless Reply: lol
Statement: The golden ratio is truely an intersting aspect of not only mathematics, but art as well.
Worthless Reply: lol
Statement: ... And then he says, "Your mom goes to college!"
Worthless Reply: lol
Statement: Hey, are you doing anything tonight? You could come over to my house and play some Unreal Tournie...

A Full Day
After praying intently last night that the flurries we had, combined with the 19 degree temperatures, would lead to a snow day, only to have my dreams split at the seams, I grudgingly came to school today. I turned in my mungo position paper, thankful to have it out of my life and on to my permenent record forever and continued on with my boring life. In Parenting we had a serious scare. One of the girls in my class apparently told the girl next to her that she felt like she was going to pass out. Her friend told her to tell Mrs.Melick. The girl then fell over off of her chair onto the floor. Her eyes were wide open and she was twitching. We all got sent out of the room and were given strict orders to work on the worksheet we had been doing. Of course, none of us could concentrate, so we all just kind of sat there. Her dad came and is taking her to the doctor and she appeared to be ok, just really tired and shaken up. So now I am sitting here in Study Hall, being bored as ever. Here's the most recent excerpt from my project:
Setting: Local hermitage. Two hours later. A rugged looking gentleman (Hermit 1) is sitting by a fire roasting what appears to be a sewer rat.
Hermit 1: [has French accent] Aha! Magnifique! Sewer rat!
[Hermit 2 enters, carrying what appears to be a club and a cloth bag with the words “Ye Olde Piggly Wiggly” written on it.]
Hermit 2: [has Scottish accent] Aha! Stoatin! Sewer rat!
Hermit 1: [glares at Hermit 2] Now see here, good fellow! This is my sewer rat. I have roasted and salted it to the perfection that is required for French cuisine, so you must just run along.
Hermit 2: Sir, I have not eaten in days! Please give me just a morsel of that magnificent creature!
Hermit 1: [spots a steak, pork roast, and head of lettuce in Hermit 2’s bag] Well, what do you call that?
Hermit 2: Call what?
Hermit 1: That there in your bag,
Hermit 2: [ stares at bag and then throws it behind him] What bag?
Hermit 1: Kind sir, I presume you to be a thief.
[Arthur and Bedivere enter stage left and stare at the confrontation between the two hermits with interest, confusion and disgust.]
Hermit 2: You dare insult me sir?
Hermit 1: That I do.
Hermit 2: Well, then, [raises club and charges] ON GUARD!!!
[Hermit 1 pulls a glistening sword out, presumably out of no where, and chops off Hermit 2’s head. Hermit 2 runs around for a bit without his head and then falls over, twitching.]
It is Monty Python-esque, isn't it?
Next period, I have a lab report to turn in and after school I have an FCCLA meeting. A very full day.

Phenolphthalein by candlelight.....
Well, my parents are always telling me to embrace my inner nerd/geek and I think that that title pretty much fulfilled that need. Next task. Well, I should probably explain my title. (Sorry Sis.Jewel. No wild pursuing male yet. *grin* Sort of.) Anyway, as with much of the city, at around 11:00 on Friday, the electricity in MVHS went out. I was in fourth period Biology doing a lab on the effects of excercise on the human body. There is a guy in my Bio class who has a huge crush on me and therefore just "happened" to volunteer to be my partner on this lab. So he was my test subject and as I was writing down the last number on my data sheet, the power went out.
"All right, Dude! How's that for accuracy?!" He exclaimed and then went in for a high five. I ended up getting punched in the face. Reeeeeeeally didn't help his cause a whole lot.
The school day was pretty much a bust. Mr.Kaufman did make my class take our test, despite the lack of light, but we got out an hour early. It was wonderful.
