Ok, guys. This is Maddie trying out the phone blogging experience. Lol.
This is kinda interesting. Just think of all the things that I'll be able to tell you on the fly. Like, I could be sitting in my cinema class, text/blogging everyone about the ridiculous movies we're watching.
Ok, I'm not actually in cinema right now, but I do want to tell you that it rocks. What other class lets you write a paper on "This Is Spinal Tap" for credit? Very few, I would assume.
Anyway, my thumbs are getting as tired as my arms are from pilates. I'll make an official post later!
Toodles,
Maddie

Of Winning and Woes
We totally rocked that picket yesterday! :D
It was cold, rainy, and downright miserable outside, but we remained standing across from the Meineke with our signs, waving frantically as cars passed by and honked.
Also, I sent an email out to five or six new organizations in the area and two of them were actually on their way to see what was going on.
Needless to say, when the news stations called the Meineke, the Meineke people when suddenly a whole lot nicer and trying their hardest to resolve the issue before the news arrived.
Success.
The owner of the entire branch drove an hour down from Molalla to deliver a public apologize to Frost. :D We so rock. Frost said I made it all possible.
Not only was our picket a success, but we also got several people who would stop by and tell us their stories of how Meineke had done similar things to them. The feedback was astounding. We also got free hot chocolate from the Burgerville next to the Meineke. It was awesome.
In other news:
My dad lost his job. I'm so super sad right now. Luckily for him, I'm going to be getting student loans to help pay for my college so he won't have to worry about it. I don't want to add that much stress on him.
Now I can only hope that he can find another job that he'll rock at as well. My dad is pretty stellar and I worry about him a lot. This is a pretty sucky time in life.
I'm going to do my best to make it easier on my dad so that he can do his best. Furthermore, I will refuse to be downbeat about it. I REFUSE TO BE SAD! I have to carry the happy torch. No pessimism from Maddie.
So, to distract myself, I will tell you about how I'm going to Sakuracon with my friends in a couple of weeks.
Sakuracon:
I had no money to go, but Beana, Mindy, and Frost all pitched in so that I could join them. I'm super excited about it because I have such awesome friends.
The only thing I find annoying is the fact that we're going to be sharing a room with two other people, one is Kayla (who I'm not too happy with) and the other is Clara (who is just plain annoying).
Y'know how there are those people who just talk and talk and talk about themselves all the time? That's Clara. Every single thing you say could relate back to her.
"My spleen just gave out. I might die."
"That reminds me of when I almost died in the apartment I used to...blah blah blah"
It's so annoying.
As for Kayla...well...she's kinda shallow. I feel like she makes herself have an opinion on everything, but she doesn't really have an opinion on anything. I feel like I'm talking to someone who feels like they know a lot, but they don't. Like talking to a 10-year-old.
That's really all I have to say for now. Until next time!
Toodles,
Maddie

Of Scripts and Scares
Hello all!
Guess what? About a week ago (last Thursday), I finished my second quarter in college! Hooray! I'm also excited to announce that I passed all of my classes with floating colours. I say "floating" because they aren't stupendous enough to be flying colours. They just hovering really.
Regardless, after this next quarter, I never have to take math again! YAY! I'm moving on to "Math in Society" which is a math class for liberal arts students or the people who don't plan on having math as an important part of their lives. That would be me! :D
I've been on Spring Break for a week now and I'm loving the time spent NOT worrying about homework. I have been keeping fairly busy though. I've had about two lazy days since break started. Beana and Frost are seeing to that.
Today is a good day too. I'm attending my first picket/party today. We're picketing Meineke because they totally screwed Frost over. They told him that they were going to install a new radiator, made him pay for the labour to put the radiator in, and never put it in. Not only that, but they didn't fix the other problems and they made him pay an extra $900 when he went in again to get them fixed.
Needless to say, Frost is not happy.
So, we got together on Wednesday, painted signs, and now we're going to spend the day partying and picketing across the street from the Meineke in the park. Fun times.
In other news:
I'm really worried about my dad at the moment. Apparently, yesterday when he was flying (he's a pilot), he had a really bad landing and now his job is in jeopardy. It sucks because my dad is an awesome pilot and I don't like to see him this way. He's got that tone of voice that pretty much breaks my heart right now. :C I'm praying to God that his employers will cut him a break this time. Everyone deserves a second chance, right?
In other other news:
I'm writing the script to a slasher/thriller movie. I was inspired by Frost's pig farm. It's so creepy and awesome that I just needed to film a movie there. I won't say much right now, but it'll be killer. HA! Bad pun. Unintentional bad pun, actually. That's the second to worst kind.
Anyway, I have to go get ready for the picket/party! Toodles!
ScriptFrenzy begins on Wednesday!

Of Movies and Madness
We interrupt this regularly scheduled blog with an important news update:
I wrote a movie review on the movie Zeitgeist. You guys can comment and say what you wish. A little scholarly discussion is always good.
The only thing I have to say about this movie is that my dear sister, Kelcey, is being horrible misguided by it.
Without further ado, here's my review::

Without further ado, here's my review::
March 11, 2009
Zeitgeist (2007)
Zeitgeist is a documentary that tries in vain to prove to the world that we are all just brainless sheep following a shepherd that feeds us healthy little lies so we will continue to live our lives in the dark confines of the media and government-controlled happy land we call the world today. First of all, unless you are used to staring a a blank screen with nothing but the monotonous voice of a “scholarly” source droning on and on for fifteen minutes, you'll find yourself bashing your head into the wall before the title of the movie splashes across the screen in a very anticlimactic “I think you just put me into a second coma” sort of way. Lucky for you, if you've made it far enough into the movie to actually start seeing a movie play out across the screen, the creator of this horrid documentary will bombard you with an onslaught of “facts” to sway you from any religious beliefs you may have. Not only is the information to disprove the credibility of the Christian religion (and any religion similar to it) wrong, but the information about the religion being debunked is also incorrect. The documentarian suggests that Jesus is the Christian personification of the sun, aka that big ball of gas that keeps us warm. He goes on to discuss how the “Sun of God” is an astrological reference. Jesus had twelve disciples that directly relate to the twelve signs in the western zodiac and all this other anti-authority, freethink propaganda that sounds quite convincing when you first watch the movie. However, the more you pay attention to the facts being presented and the more you actually think about the information, you begin to realize that you've been duped by someone with a computer, some “new age” thoughts about life, some money, and a semi-decent editing program. One of the falsities that the movie presents as fact is that Jesus Christ was born on the 25th of December. HA! No, he wasn't. The Christian religion moved Jesus' birth to December 25th so that they could be in line with the Pagan holidays that were happening at the same time. The fundamental argument made by the film's creator is discredited just by having this one fact incorrect.
The movie goes on to explain to you how the 9/11 tragedy was a completely staged hoax. After all, there is no possible way for terrorists to infiltrate our soil and kill thousands of Americans with them. No. That's just ridiculous. The only possible explanation for something like that happening on American soil is that the American government set it all up and killed its own people so that they could justify a war to “protect” us, right? Wrong. Not that I don't agree with some of the points presented in this part of the movie. The laws being put into place to deal with terrorists and the such are nothing short of ridiculous and I agree that there are probably better ways to deal with these issues at hand. But, come on. Even if 9/11 was a sham set up by the government, it would be foolish to not even consider the possibility that outside organizations did this. For all the nonbelievers, they can take peace in the idea that even if a terrorist organization was responsible, they probably got all of their funded and weapons from the arms dealers that sell out-of-use weapons in America to foreign organizations that are willing to pay the price.
The third part of this movie rambles on about how the world will eventually become one government and control not only the lives of everyone in the world, but also their money. According to the film, Americans are already in constant debt because the interest on the money they take from the banks is so steep that there is no possible way to pay it off unless you borrow more money, putting you into more debt. In fact, the only people who are actually profiting from this horrible cycle are the bankers. The only thing I found myself thinking during this part of the movie was “I wonder what it take to become a banker”. Because, honestly, if they are the only ones “making bank” as it were, then why not become one? Furthermore, who doesn't like handling money all the time?
The end of the documentary does a semi-adequate job of summing up everything it just wasted two hours of your life spewing at you. All and all, the movie is like a badly written paper by some English 102 student who wants nothing more than for the quarter to be over rather than have to endure another revision of the ten pages of utter speculation that they half-heartedly researched for eleven weeks. I found myself staring dumbfounded at the screen for a good two minutes after the movie was over. After all the hype I had heard from friends and family about how this movie was a genuine piece of documentary heaven, I found myself completely and utterly baffled as to how people I considered to be educated could watch something like this and not laugh at the absurdness of it all.
The people who watch this movie, following every word blindly, and change their entire philosophy on life should probably taken out to the pasture and dealt with because they are the runts of the herd. By completely buying into this two hours of shameless propaganda against the United States government, they are no more different than the other sheep in the world that follow the government. The only difference between the two is that the people who buy into Zeitgeist are following absolutely baseless speculation made by a conspiracy theorist. I feel like I've insulted myself by having watched a piece of sheer garbage such as this.
Until Next Time,
~Maddie

Of Driving and Dance
So, I finally got behind the wheel of a car for the first time since I got my permit. XD I got my permit in like...December or such.
And, I'd just like to say, I did not run any stop signs because of distracting felines in driveways like I did the first time I had a permit.
My dad is teaching me the rules of the road and I'm pretty excited about it. It's really nerve-wracking being in control of the car because it's just like sooooo big and I'm the one responsible for it moving and going where I want it to go and so on and so forth. Holy poop.
Anyway, my dad is taking me on another drive tomorrow after I get out of class. Woo hoo!
As for dance:
I've been listening to Pandora Online Radio a lot recently. My favorite station that I've created is my dance station. It plays like copious amounts of 90s dance music and I'M IN LOVE!
I've fallen for this song by Right Said Fred (lol I know. I've hit the bottom.) called "Don't Talk Just Kiss". IT'S SO FREAKING RIDICULOUS! OH MAH GOODNESS!
I'm in love with dance music. I'm in love with listening to dance music while I work on homework. It's so helpful.
What's not helpful is all the ants we keep finding in the garage. :C They crawl on my laptop and it's gross. Also, there was this weird centipede-like bug curled up underneath my laptop today. It was so gross. Just like the earwig that was wandering around last week.
I guess that's the stuff you have to live with when you live in a garage.
It snailed today. :3 (snail= snow + hail)

Of Schoolwork and Sanity
Helllooooo! I must first apologize that it's been so long since I last updated this blog. I've been swamped by life in general and haven't really had the motivation to document it.
So, where to begin...
School! How about there?
Journalism:
I absolutely hate this class. I mean, I love the teacher because she's super affable and I feel like I can talk to her, however, I don't like journalism at all. At least...I don't like hard news journalism.
My first article is about how the feud between the anime club and Realm Runners at the college is becoming such an issue that both clubs could lose their charters due to the reckless behaviours of some of the members. BUT, apparently, my article doesn't have a conflict that is needed for a hard news story. And, if the conflict is that they don't like each other, then I need to find a new story. It's a total load of crap. Oh gee, I'm sorry that I don't have access to random hard news stories that I can absolutely wow you with! I'm only a college freshman with no car and a crapload of other things to worry about. I'm sorry my attempt at a hard news story isn't conflicting enough for you! Geez.
Also, I feel so out of place in that class. We had to go to an art gallery for an assignment and the next class, the entire class said that they hated the exhibit and feel like it was hard to explain the art there because it was so uninteresting. Also, apparently the artists were pretentious and rude.
I LOVED the artwork. I thought it was one of the most interesting displays I'd ever seen. Apparently, I'm the only one.
And then, we were talking about how my teacher's 19 month old was watching Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet during Superbowl Sunday and someone thought she was going to say that her 19 YEAR old was watching it. She then proceeded to say "If a 19 year old was watching Puppy Bowl, then there is something wrong with them."
I felt horrible because I'm 18 years old and I'd love to watch Puppy Bowl. The dogs are so freaking cute! But, apparently there is something wrong with me.
Needless to say, I'm definitely not enjoying the class as much as I thought I would.
English 102:
Fun fun fun! My teacher is so freaking nice and fun. She's teaching me things about writing that I had no idea about. I'm thinking on a completely different plane than I was before this. Furthermore, I rediscovered the library. Dude...did you know that at my college library, if you can't find the material you need in the library, you can get books from other libraries in the area? THAT IS SO FREAKING COOL!
Also, books smell good. :3
Math 095:
God, I hate factoring trinomials. Furthermore, I hate factoring in general. I can do it...but that doesn't mean I like it. ALSO, fractional exponentials are cool. I never thought I'd like something math related, but I like fractional exponentials even though I was having a wicked crippling stomach cramp whilst learning about them.
Lesson learned: Eat abundantly before going to a three-hour long class.
Cardio Kickboxing:
I FEEL SO GREAT! This class gets me pumped and I'm always tired after it. And yet, I wanna go out running or something after each class. It makes no sense whatsoever. I'm so ready to punch somebody in the face and have it hurt. It's so awesome. And the teacher is awesome too. Oh my god. I wish I'd known about this class before. It's like...whoa.
Ummm...what else is there to talk about? OH! Sanity. Let's try this on for size: My sister has none left.
Sometimes you see people making stupid decisions and you just wanna smack them upside the head and go "What the hell are you thinking?! Get your head on straight!"
That is definitely something I wish I could do to my older sister. She's just not making great decisions recently. She's got her head on backward and she's following the ideals of a documentary that I've heard everyone talk about called Zeitgeist. The thing she doesn't realize is that the freaking documentary doesn't even have all of its facts right.
Beana has the best description of documentaries like Zeitgeist:
I wholeheartedly agree.
And on that note, I need to actually go and finish the homework that I am so desperately behind on. :3

"These people watched these documentaries that say 'THE GOVERNMENT IS EVIL! DON'T LISTEN TO THEM AND THEIR LIES! LISTEN TO US!' And the people listen to these conspiracy theorists and their documentaries when they have even less backing and basis than the "government conspiracies" that they are supposedly warning you about. It's like..."don't put your trust in the government because you shouldn't trust a single large group of people just because they say so! You should trust us because we say so!" and that doesn't bring up a red flag with anyone...That's stupid."
I wholeheartedly agree.
And on that note, I need to actually go and finish the homework that I am so desperately behind on. :3

Of Journalists and Jackasses
So, I've returned to my house in the lovely state of Washington. Woo!
It's weird because everyone is saying "It's so cold here." and I'm like "Oh...I didn't noticed since I was in Kansas with it's 7 degree weather and whatnot. lol"
I started my second quarter in college on Monday. Winter Quarter! Woo! It's exciting. My dad and stepmom graciously paid for my books this quarter and I feel 100% absolutely horrible that I made them spend 220 dollars on books. I hate mooching and having others pay for things that I should be able to pay for.
I desperately need a job. Augh.
So, I had my Introduction to Journalism class on Monday and it seems like it's going to be pretty awesome. REALLY work intensive though. Like...I had to read a chapter in one of our books and two chapters in another and now I'm going online to find 5 articles that were published in my year of birth. One world, two national, and two local. I couldn't find any local ones for where I live because our paper doesn't have archives farther back than 1994. Luckily, I was able to find something on the lovely Wichita Eagle website! YAY!
I'm totally stressing about my work load this quarter and it just started. My math class will probably be the easiest class I have. We learned about factoring trinomials on Monday. Fun fun. But, whatever. Mr. Williams is a pretty good teacher. He's the same teacher I had for last quarter, so I know I'll be able to succeed. Hooray for optimism!
I still need to read more in Pudd'nhead Wilson by tomorrow at 11. Which will be impossible since I have Journalism at 10 and it gets out at 10:50. And, I don't have enough time, light, or inclination to read it tonight. I'll just read it on the bus tomorrow. I have no idea if my English teacher will be peeved for that. I haven't even met her yet because she's been sick for the first two days of class. But, from what I hear, she's really cool. She apparently works out with Frost. lol
Anyway, on to the second part of my blog title:
The group of friends I hang out with at my college use to hang out in Hanna Hall at a table, thus earning us the name "The Table Dwellers". But, recently, my friend Eddie moved up to hang out at the ASCC (Student Center) to be with a slew of people he doesn't really like and his girlfriend, Naisa, who is slightly annoying.
Anyhow, all of my other friends followed them up there like little lemmings! One goes off the cliff, the others will follow!
It really frustrates me. Especially since I learned that they made a list of the reasons they left the table and the number one reasons was this girl named Jen. NO ONE LIKES HER! That's not even an exaggeration. If anyone does like her, they are about as unbearable as she is. Jen has this weird delusion that the people around her think she's cool and that she can draw really well. She draws cliche, cookie-cutter, anime-style girls in "gothic lolita" outfits or whatever the current internet anime retard fad is. It's ridiculous. I just want to tell her "Please, go learn to socialize. Learn that you aren't "the shit" as it were, and you most definitely aren't original. Get your overdone Mary Sues out of my face."
She drives me up a tree. And yet, I haven't left the table. Because I'm not a freaking idiot lemming child.
I mean, there are at least ten people who vacated the table with their number one reason being Jen. If you've got a problem with someone, ESPECIALLY JUST ONE PERSON, deal with it. Get over yourselves and deal with it. You shouldn't let one person uproot you from YOUR spot. It's one person! Make her leave! Bam! That simple. A third-grader like my little sister could do it.
Why move your entire group to a new spot where more people that you don't like hang out when you could easily deal with the one freaking person that's causing you a problem!?
It drives me up a freaking tree! In fact, I'm half tempted to tell Jen, "Hey! Guess what! Everyone moved up to the ASCC and they are totally bummed that you don't hang out up there with them. So, you should like...totally go hang out with them up there. Everyone talks about you."
Freaking lemmings.

It's weird because everyone is saying "It's so cold here." and I'm like "Oh...I didn't noticed since I was in Kansas with it's 7 degree weather and whatnot. lol"
I started my second quarter in college on Monday. Winter Quarter! Woo! It's exciting. My dad and stepmom graciously paid for my books this quarter and I feel 100% absolutely horrible that I made them spend 220 dollars on books. I hate mooching and having others pay for things that I should be able to pay for.
I desperately need a job. Augh.
So, I had my Introduction to Journalism class on Monday and it seems like it's going to be pretty awesome. REALLY work intensive though. Like...I had to read a chapter in one of our books and two chapters in another and now I'm going online to find 5 articles that were published in my year of birth. One world, two national, and two local. I couldn't find any local ones for where I live because our paper doesn't have archives farther back than 1994. Luckily, I was able to find something on the lovely Wichita Eagle website! YAY!
I'm totally stressing about my work load this quarter and it just started. My math class will probably be the easiest class I have. We learned about factoring trinomials on Monday. Fun fun. But, whatever. Mr. Williams is a pretty good teacher. He's the same teacher I had for last quarter, so I know I'll be able to succeed. Hooray for optimism!
I still need to read more in Pudd'nhead Wilson by tomorrow at 11. Which will be impossible since I have Journalism at 10 and it gets out at 10:50. And, I don't have enough time, light, or inclination to read it tonight. I'll just read it on the bus tomorrow. I have no idea if my English teacher will be peeved for that. I haven't even met her yet because she's been sick for the first two days of class. But, from what I hear, she's really cool. She apparently works out with Frost. lol
Anyway, on to the second part of my blog title:
The group of friends I hang out with at my college use to hang out in Hanna Hall at a table, thus earning us the name "The Table Dwellers". But, recently, my friend Eddie moved up to hang out at the ASCC (Student Center) to be with a slew of people he doesn't really like and his girlfriend, Naisa, who is slightly annoying.
Anyhow, all of my other friends followed them up there like little lemmings! One goes off the cliff, the others will follow!
It really frustrates me. Especially since I learned that they made a list of the reasons they left the table and the number one reasons was this girl named Jen. NO ONE LIKES HER! That's not even an exaggeration. If anyone does like her, they are about as unbearable as she is. Jen has this weird delusion that the people around her think she's cool and that she can draw really well. She draws cliche, cookie-cutter, anime-style girls in "gothic lolita" outfits or whatever the current internet anime retard fad is. It's ridiculous. I just want to tell her "Please, go learn to socialize. Learn that you aren't "the shit" as it were, and you most definitely aren't original. Get your overdone Mary Sues out of my face."
She drives me up a tree. And yet, I haven't left the table. Because I'm not a freaking idiot lemming child.
