In T minus 2 days my family is going to...wait for iiiiiiiit... INDIA. Im pretty much psyched, but also a little nervous regarding the fact that i haven't even started packing yet. hmm, ya. better get on that. For this trip i have VOWED to myself to keep a journal. Every time i start a journal, i usually get bored, or i realize that i have nothing to say. BUT I PROMISE this time i will NOT get bored with my journal, and i will NOT give up on the second day (this has happened before). I hope i can keep to that, because we all know deep down how this is going to end up. Maybe when i get home ill type out some of the (possibly existent) journal entries, depending on how interesting they are.
In another direction now i want to congratulate my uncle Bob's girls basketball team for advancing to the state finals! Great job Benilde girls! Unfortunately the final game is while we are in India (Did i mention that? INDIA? thought so), so ill end up watching it on Tivo later. Sooo GOOD LUCK BENILDE GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM AND UNCLE BOB!
I would say this was a very not interesting or funny post, but hey, have any of them been? :P

11 Things i NERD out about
Another possible title for this blog post would be 10 things that, when i get very obsessed with, drive my friends ABSOLUTELY BONKERS. heehee
;)
1. So You Think You Can Dance
~And even more specifically, the SYTYCD dancers...theres been 6 seasons so far, and i always find someone to be totally obsessed with:
season 1-Nick. and Melody. They were so cute
season 2- Travis! (He totally should've won, but im over it.)
season 3-Tricky one, because after the tour we got to meet everybody! BUT Neil was the one that made it into my planner (a place where every celeb and dancer are just fighting to be, right?), and got talked about the most. However, Sara got us the backstage passes, and ill forever love her for that!
season 4-EVERYBODY, but especially Kherington! Also loved Courtney, and Katee
season 5-my MOSt obsessive season of all! I put all the dances on my iPod and practically can do most of them! I got to take a master class from 4 of the contestants, who happens to be most of my faves. overall the season, my fave was JEANINE, and shes my dance/life role model. And the coolest person on EARTH. But i also liked everybody else! In this order: after Jeanine, Jason, Janette, Caitlin, Ade, Evan, i cant rank them like this!!?!. i loved ALL of them!
season 6-JAKOB. i voted a ZILLION times, but he did not win (he was runner-up) I am still bitter about this. I also liked Peter and Pauline, but the day i decided they were my faves, they got the boot. how does that kinda thing always happen?! Kathryn was also amazing (she was my dads favorite, and since hes the only one who reads this, i might as well put that down! )
~The dances are bombdiggity. i already mentioned that.
2. Broadway shows (especially In The Heights!)
~I take pride in being the most Broadway cultured kid (along with my twin) in my grade, or the whole school. This is not an embarrassing fact, but rather something i like to bring up as often as i can. And almost whenever the XM radio in the car is on, you can bet your bottom dollar that the Broadway station is a'playin.
~Im especially into In The Heights, simply because it is the best musical ever period. Go see it.
~Other shows that i have gone through phases of: Spring Awakening (as AWKWARD as that show is to see with your parents, the music ROCKS.) Grease (but only after Laura Osnes, a Minnesota buddy, won the lead role through the reality tv show "You're the one that i want"), and Shrek and The Wedding Singer (not so much obsessions, but the music had to be forced off for a little while, or else i would've listened to it until my iPod died)
~Unrelated sidefact: I want to be on Broadway So.Bad. problem is my horrendous acting skills...
3. John Krasinski
~last year i was so obsessed i decorated my whole school planner with pictures of him. I was so young then (not really), and im not that crazy obsessive any more, but the Delivery episode of the Office was enough to make me decorate my room with pictures of him, he's just so CUTE! ...and, like, twice my age. But he's so CUTE!
4. Nick Jonas (and i guess those other 2 Jonas guys.)
~Since Nick is the only one i've seen in concert so far, and let's face it, he the cutest, he happens to be my personal fave. The only person in my family who hasn't seen at least ONE Jonas Brother live is my twin sister, and she does not enjoy my JoBros phase as much as i wish he did. Its especially too bad for her, because now JB music makes up the majority of my iPod. If you put it on shuffle, every other song WILL be a Jonas song. I've proved this. Sorry, Emma, this phase will wear off eventually, but its more likely that you will see them and become obsessed too. That is way more likely to happen then me getting out of this JB phase. :P
~Their show (JONAS on Disney Channel) is stupid the first time you watch it, and funny the second time you watch an episode. And the third. and fourth. um...yup.
5. Twitter
~Im not creepy, i just like knowing what everyone is doing! That way i can be the cool person who tells everybody else "Well, so-and-so celebrity just tweeted that they are filming such-and-such movie, and heres a twitpic from the set!" It makes me feel cool, but i dont know what it makes other people think of me...im not a creepy stalker dude, i swear!! :P
6. Being color-coordinated!
~I dont know why, but at school and dance especially, i pick a theme color, and work from there. Im such a dork that way.
7. Glee
~ask anyone who watches Glee, or better yet, watch it yourself. There are MORE than enough reasons to nerd out for this show. :) and Mr. Schue. 'nuff said.
8. Whoever the last person i saw in concert was...
~Pretty much no matter who it is, i will get into a "phase" afterward:
~I went through my Justin Bieber phase after that concert, and my Boys Like Girls phase after the same concert (twas a good show, if i might add) :) OH! i just remembered my U2 phase after the 360 concert! That was a good show, and a long obsession afterwards!
~See #4 for the most current phase, and the last concert i attended (NJ&TA)
9. Harry Potter
~Who isn't a Harry Potter nerd? People who aren't bug me, beause they have no reason not to be. this is definitely not a constantly present obsession, but around new movie primieres, i get pretty awesome, i mean crazy!
~When my sister and i went to France last summer, the family we stayed with surprised us with a daytrip to London, and what a great day it was: unbeknownst to ALL of us, it was the World premiere of the sixth Harry Potter movie! We stumbled upon it, and though we were kinda far away in a mob of people (who had been planning this day for MONTHS), it was still the awesomest thing that couldve happened to us in London! We missed the arrival of "the Big Three", but were in time to see Tom Felton (Draco), Matt Lewis (Neville), and pretty much everyone else! The best picture we got was of Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) see picture:
<------ WHOOH coolest thing evas! 10. Traveling ~Our familia is kinda known around our friends for being the crazy "world travelers". Now, i wouldn't say THAT, because i've met people who travel more than we do, but it is something im proud of...and its fun to drive people crazy, especially when everyone complains about a geography quiz, and i just tell them ive been everywhere, and i know where everyone is. And if it bugs them, they should practice their geography, because some people's geographical ignorance embarrasses me. What do you mean you've never heard of the Amazon, you imbecile? Are you seriously asking me it is the same as the Nile? Are you stupid? heehee 11. Behind the scenes pictures/tidbits! ~I LOVE LOVE LOOOVE behind the scenes, and backstage stuff! I seriously dork out about these, and tell everyone. Thats why i love blogs like officetally.com, and as i already mentioned, Twitter(stalking) celebrities. :) i practically live for stuff like that! (not really, dad. Dont make a snyde comment about needing something better to live for. shankopotamus.)
This is 11 things, and i know that as SOON as i walk away from this here computer, i will think of more. But dont worry, ill spare you and not write about them.
adios!

ANOTHER tv show i like!
3. Psych (Usa Network)
I absolutely love Psych, and not only because James Roday is SO cute, and Shawn Spencer is SO hilarious! The shows plots can be a little far-fetched, but most crime shows are.
Things i love:
~the pineapple! in almost every episode, a pineapple is hidden...try to find it ...if you're a fan of delicious flavor.
~All of Shawn nicknames for Gus: http://video.usanetwork.com/series/psych/#////series/psych/shawn-isms_gus-isms/ I would list some here, as was the plan, but they look so ridiculous written out that i would look like a bit of a dolt.
~Even though its VERY funny, it can be super intense, and even downright scary!! well, i dont like that so much, but if you're into that sort of thing, then the show is even better.
I have dance now, but more shows to come.

TV Shows I Like :)
This may turn into a LONG list, because i watch all the good funny shows on TV, and love them all. :) this is in NO particular order!!!
1. The Office - The older seasons of the show are probably funnier, but i love John Krasinski (Jim) so much, ill watch it no matter what!
2. Modern Family - probably the FUNNIEST show ever, but i may say that for a lot of things. ModFam got everything right, and i laugh out loud at almost everything that is said, the writing is so excellent. Some high points:
~Dylan's song "In The Moonlight" from the episode "The Incident". really funny in context, but out of context, NOT so great of lyrics! hahaha
~This probably isnt a good thing, because of how stupid she tends to be, but i relate to Haley alot...maybe its cause we're both normal teenage girls trying to survive in a family of crazies. TOTALLY KIDDING my family is not nearly as weird as the Dunphys! :P
~baby Lily is SO VERY CUTE!!!!
~Whats the most annoying thing people say to Luke Dunphy? "Dont Talk Black to me. How to you even talk black? End all your words with 'izzle?" (His sister Alex lets him know "its talk back, you idiot") overall, its a very quoteable show.
Thats TWO for now, but theres about 10 or so shows i watch religiously, so this list will continue!!!

I Want To Go Skating, Impulsively Buying Music, Randomsauce.
I was so obsessed with the Olympics the past two weeks, that now they're over, its weird to have a life back! However, im still mildly inspired by them, because i REALLY WANT TO GO SKATING RIGHT NOW, and that can only happen if my dad STOPS asking me "oh, wanna go skating?" and actually takes me to go buy some skates. So while im waiting to leave, if i ever DO leave, i might as well talk about something. I just bought the newest Nick Jonas song that came out today called "Stay"...and its really good! But, all of his songs are good, and i went to the (amazing) concert, and i kinda love him. So im slightly biased. Anyway i recommend it for anyone else who likes impulsively buying iTunes songs after getting too ADD to listen to all 30 seconds of the free preview...speaking of which i did that already twice today for some new Lifehouse songs, which i have yet to listen to. I should do that first, because im often surprised in my impulse buying with swear words, or other bad content, later down the road. Just kidding, that's only happened, like, once. Im gonna go walk around the house in warm clothes so everyone gets the message that i will just go skating by MYSELF. if only i had a ride....and skates.
