QUE SERA SERA

if you don't know what it means, look it up

i find myself having a hard time typing, but very content. life is good :P eventhough it's cold enough outside to freeze the balls off a brass monkey (that doesn't come from what you think it does, so i feel fine saying it. it comes from something in a ship they used to hold cannon balls in). i wore a dress to school today, against my better judgment (do i even HAVE any??) and seriously froze solid walking to abs grandma's house. i've been indoors for about an hour now though, and still my hands are not thawed out... so ty[ing is really hard... as you can see. i have the best dress ever to wear to the basketball game. yup that right i'm wearing a dress to the basketball game. it's the 'outclass highland' (out biggest rival) game, where everyone from east wears ghetto fancy stuff, and everyone at highland dresses to 'freak east'... it can get pretty scary... their colors are black and white, and they go ALL OUT with the facepaint... but i'm exctied. i barrowed a ghetto dress from the dance costume room, a ballet dress. it's going to be awesome :)

here's whta 'freak east' looks like

Chewing gum takes seven years to pass through your digestive system.
____ True ____ False _____ Only Juicy Fruit

ANSWER: False. The gum component itself is pretty indigestible, but will "pass" in a mass and will not stick your insides together, either. This one probably got going when exasperated parents tired of buying more gum after half an hour because their kids had chomped, then swallowed, their allotment. Also, swallowing gum was seen as ignorant and lower class.

Cracking your knuckles will cause arthritis in later life.

__ True ___ False ____ Maybe

ANSWER: False. Depending on your point of view, knuckle-popping sounds disgusting or cool. There is no evidence that cracking your knuckles inflames the joints and leads to arthritis. The cracking causes the bones to pull apart, forming a gas bubble and breaking the adhesive seal in the joint. Crack! About a quarter of the people in the U.S. crack their knuckles and might begin to lose their grip a little. Constant cracking can weaken the fingers.

Staying out in the cold and wind will give you a cold.

___ True ___ False

ANSWER: False. Colds are caused by viruses, with enough variations to give you a choice of 200 versions of a cold (which is why you get them over and over again). Because viruses get into healthy cells, it's difficult to kill them without knocking off the good cells. This is the job of your immune system, which usually clears out cold viruses in a week or two. You can get the virus through inhaling infected air droplets sneezed or coughed by an infected person, or by touching something that an infected person has touched and then transferring the germs to your mouth or nose. You don't get it from cold air, slush, wind, or other wintry conditions. Cold viruses are more active in the winter, and that's why people get more colds in the winter. So what's the best way to ward off this miserable virus? Wash your hands often. take THAT mom!!

Drinking warm milk puts you to sleep.

___ True ___False ___ ZZZZZZZZZ

Contrary to popular belief, opossums, squirrels, chipmunks, and mice do not carry rabies.

gah here we go again

so after a month or so of letting my wrist heal, i decide to risk using it again for stunting... bad idea. it never really did heal all the way, but it got to a point where i was sure it wasn't getting any better, so i just decided maybe it would just need to be used again to be fully healed. so i tried it out yesterday. ya, it started hurting around 5 and got steadily worse till now i'm wearing the brace again. gah! it means i can't play piano, and typing this is taking forever. i really think i just have a weak wrist now, like forever. abbie suggested i see a physical theripist, cause she has a shoulder like that. it would be nice to do that. but i don't think i can be a base anymore for cheer. and i can't be backspot either, cause i'm too short, and that would KILL my wrist *shudder*. the only option left is to either be a flyer, or not stunt at all. *sigh* i love stunting!! i don't want to give it up!! but i know the flyer in my stunt group (she's kinda like sharon, for those of you who know her. ugh) would never give up her position, because she thinks it gives her power over us and makes her in charge. ugh! and she's actually a pretty good base too! it would be so simple if we just switched places! we actually use her as a base soemtimes. i want to go talk to the teacher and ask her what she would think, but i feel like people are going to say to me "oh just go get it looked at again, i'm sure it's nothing. you're faking it." and my flyer will start again with her "oh i have back problems *cough* so i can't really be a bace" BULL!! EVERYONE HAS SEEN YOU BASE MANY TIMES. what should i do?

so, ok idk what to title this yet, cause i don't even know what i'm going to write about!
