Epic Fail, EA!

So instead of focusing on actual issues, guess what EA is doing? They’re making Barnacle Bay. It’s a pirate themed town. Not much is known, but I know one thing about it: I’m not buying it. Honestly. It costs like… I’m not sure. I read somewhere that it’s 1650 Simpoints. That’s like $16.50. I could buy two meals with that money. I could go to Aeropostale or Sears and buy a t-shirt or two with that money. I can donate it. So why does EA think they can charge us for their crappy games, merchandise and towns? What the heck? I’ve seen some tropical island/beach themed towns that look better and more legit. And EA is probably gonna add like 20 rabbit holes and make some brand new ones, just to remove more playability. Honestly, how freaking low can they go? The only way I might think about considering buying that trash is if there’s no rabbit holes[Was that sentence grammatically correct?]. Maybe.

Oh, and they made a Tumblr account, too. I’d link to it, but I don’t want to give them publicity. :P I saw some LOLCats grammar, or whatever it’s called. It’s cute on individual picture made by bloggers, not a large video game company ran by middle aged adults. The only good thing that might come out of that waste of Internet space is spamming their comments. :P

That’s So Average

So, when I watched that episode of Sonny with a Chance with Raven Symone, it was… okay. I’d give it a 5 or 6, and Raven really saved the episode. It was fun but zany and ridiculous, so it felt a lot like a That’s so Raven episode. I’m happy that she still has some acting jobs, but I’m disappointed that she’s stuck with Disney. At least she’s sober and drug free, right?

And apparently Kyle Massey is going to be on Dancing with the Stars? LOL. Good luck, Kyle. Go to 2:42, if you want proof. :P

AND OH MY GOSH APPARENTLY IT’S COMING BACK FOR A THIRD SEASON ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA!?!?!?! :D :D :D

Sorry. I’m obsessed with Disney, and I loved Cory in the House. :) Sure, there were no sources on Wikipedia, but oh well. I’m suspicious, however, because apparently it’s coming back December, but I haven’t seen any new promos yet. Also, if Hannah Montana’s president was Mr.Martinez in 2007, but a few weeks ago, he was played by someone who looked like Barack Obama, does this mean they got impeached, or lost the 2008 election? :P

Blog Makeover

I’m thinking about giving my blog a makeover. I’m not sure what I’ll have on it. I’m probably going to change the color scheme, the banner, and maybe, the layout itself. The nav bar on the right feels cluttered to me, with all the other blogs, tags, comments, and stuff. And now that I have some good male teen sim custom content, I can probably make a somewhat accurate (Or what I want to look like :P) Self-sim. The picture thing I have for my Blogger Icon is what I made in May, but I never played with him, and I never took any pictures other than that, so I’ll probably make a new Self-sim.

In other news, I’m almost done with 1/3rd of my AP US I stuff! :D That gives me till… next Tuesday to finish reading another chapter from another textbook, then a historical fiction novel. Oh, and I need to make my own ending up, too (3 Pages). And I have a test on the outline I’m making right now. D: My parents said that I can’t go online in the school year until I get an A. I’m pretty sure it’s one of those things parents say to scare their kids into getting them to do stuff, but if it isn’t… D:. Like I said before, I have a test on the first day of class, then Wednesday, I don’t have history. Then, my school is closed for Jewish holidays(I think Rosh Hashanah? Forgive me if I’m wrong :P) for the rest of the week, then I have class again Monday. So I’d be going a week without Internet. o.O So I’m really hoping they change their minds. Or I get some randomly pointless ‘Introduce yourself’ assignment in English or whatever in class on the first day, and then I get it back the next day, with an A. :P

I think I deserve something for making such a boring blog post. And you deserve one for reading it. :P

Cookies! Enjoy. :P

And the picture is from Google, as always. :D

Fred: The Movie

Once upon a time, there was a channel called JKLProductions. The trio made awesomely hilarious videos, and were some of YouTube’s most famous users. Ever. Then, the L from JKL split, and made his own channel for his alter ego, ‘Fred’. The end.

I wish the story was that simple. So Lucas, AKA Fred, became freakishly popular. He got advertisement offers, a successful webshow, guest star appearances on shows, and all of his videos went viral. Meanwhile, Jon & Katie (How ironic!) were forgotten about, and Lucas took most of his videos down from their group channel. Before, they were unanimously loved, but now, Jon and Katie are disliked for being boring and trying too hard to be like Lucas. And Lucas is constantly criticized for just speeding up his voice for humor and only doing it for the money now. Most importantly, people hate him for being everywhere and annoying. Now, he has his own Nickelodeon movie coming up.

I use to watch Fred, and I was a big fan of JKLProductions. But then the humor went away and it was him just saying random things sped up. I’m probably gonna watch the movie, but for Bertha, AKA Jennette McCurdy from iCarly. They didn’t make her just some average ‘tough’ girl, but like a goth girl. And she made me laugh in the trailers.

What do you think of the Fred phenomenon?

Stop Calling, Stop Calling, I Don’t Wanna Talk anymore

Warning: This post is going to be long and me rambling about my lack of social life, so you know where the close tab button is. :P

So, way back in 7th grade, my twin brother and I moved to a new town and started going to a new school.  Fast Forward a few months later, and we made two new friends: ‘Don’ and ‘Mariah’. And things went smooth for the rest of 7th grade, but we had a few fights once in a while.

8th Grade started, and Don became extremely… different. He started cursing more, and he became more of a jerk. He always was sarcastic, but 8th grade really made him cruel. And Mariah started acting snobbish. She became obsessed with Don, but constantly denied having a crush on him, even though it was completely obvious. Then a few weeks later, we just stopped talking with each other. They replaced us with trashier people who listen to them, and do whatever they say. And since Don was on the very last end of the school food chain, it made us unpopular by association. Basically, school sucked because Don and Mariah decided to be immature little jerks who hate people because they don’t like to curse.

In March of 8th grade, Don and Mariah started going out. The two of them started acting really…. well, let’s just say, you’d find cleaner behavior in the Jersey Shore hot tub. And they were on our bus too, so we couldn’t avoid them at all.

Then… Mariah made a Facebook and started sucking up to EVERYONE for no reason. Literally. I’m talking about 2 wall posts a day to everyone, whether they replied or not, liking every picture you have and commenting about 5 times, and posting a bunch of those applications like ‘Who’s your soulmate?’ to everyone’s wall. So basically, everyone started hating her.

And one day, while Don and Mariah were… uh, intimate, on the bus’s backseat (Found from Google), Mariah’s Dad saw them, as he was driving behind them. And if the picture from above wasn’t clear enough, he saw everything, and she got owned, according to her Facebook status. I posted a snarky comment, which eventually turned into a huge fight between me and her. Guess what? She didn’t show up to school the next day and everyone agreed with me. Sure, it might’ve been a little cruel, but she deserved it. And over the course of a month, she tried starting more fights with me until she won, and she lost. Don tried to fight me for owning him and Mariah, but nothing happened besides a kick and some empty threats.

And that summer. another fight happened, but I’m guessing she stopped after that because of cyber bullying policies.  Oh, and in all of her fights, she’d use curse words and stuff like slut. Like she didn’t really have any real arguments besides being vulgar and cursing.

In 9th grade, Don and Mariah broke up, Don went to another school, and Mariah became depressed. And after my brother and I got a new ‘reputation’ for putting up with Don and Mariah’s crap and telling them off, apparently, Don sent all of his trashy replacements to annoy SS and I. To the point of stalking, sometimes. Honestly. Some ‘highlights’ include… stealing my backpack, prank calling SS’s cell phone late at night, ‘befriending’ me for a group project, then just acting like jerks(I knew what they were up to a lot, but the teacher was assigning groups, so yeah), and so on. But last night….

My parents sleep earlier than SS and I do. Around 2 AM, we were the only ones awake. We were just in the basement, watching TV and playing Sims. Then, at like 2:48 AM, I heard a phone call. I was worried that my parents found out we were still awake and wanted to use the Intercom-thing feature on our home phone to tell us to get up, but by the time we ran up to get it, it was a message. Someone just said ‘Get on Facebook’ and hung up. My Mom woke up and got mad at us for still being awake.

Then, this morning, our parents flipped out on us. They were like ‘Well, you guys always are on Facebook. People know if you’re on’ or something like that. Then they began to talk about how we ‘tell everyone our phone number’. Seriously, WTH? And now, we can’t stay up past 12:00AM, because obviously, our sleeping schedule affects stupid prank calls.

I have a feeling it was the trashy replacements who prank called us. They prank called SS before, so it’s likely they’d do it again. And it sounded a lot like them, and they know about my Internet addiction. Not to mention, I had my phone number written in one of my notebooks, which was in my backpack, so it’s likely that he found my phone number, wrote it down, then called it later. And earlier that night, my cell phone got a call from Restricted, AKA a prank call. It’s likely that it was someone else, but still. And I think I heard other people in the background, which would be likely, because they’re always together. Like at malls, school, Facebook, parks, and so on. And an unhealthy amount too. Like they’ve sat on each other ‘fighting for seats’, they’ve tossed coins, and wrestled each other ‘fighting for the coin’ and so on. And they constantly call anyone who isn’t ‘macho’ like them gay.

The only evidence against that theory is, that the phone number isn’t from my town(Thanks Google!). But, even that isn’t 100% true. The one who stole my backpack has mentioned that his parents aren’t together, so maybe he was at his Dad’s house or something like that. And he’s like the king of shoddy business schemes. Maybe he knows how to change caller ID stuff? And not to mention, online phone number stuff aren’t always accurate.

And it’s annoying, because what if it continues and my parents get angrier? And I didn’t even add them on Facebook! They wouldn’t know if I was online! And my parents think it’s only because of us. It’s also stupid, because I barely give my phone number out to anyone, and if I do, it’s my cell phone’s number. So my parents give our number more than SS or I do.

So, how do I end this toxic ‘relationship’? D:

Back to School Playlist

Since school is starting in a while, I’m going to try to make this as positive as it can be, for me, anyway. :P So, here’s a playlist with some school themed videos and lyrics to try to ease us into autumn and the school year.

Let’s start things off with… High School Musical! LOL, just kidding. Paramore, with Misery Business. I’d recommend the official music video for it, for more of the school ‘essence’.

Britney Spears is up next, with Hit me Baby one More Time. The video is school themed. And I’ve seen it used for anything school related, so enjoy.

Here’s All American Rejects, with Dirty Little Secret. I think it’s a great description of high school. Everyone has secrets- that one class they regretted joining, the club they are embarrassed to be in but still go, or going to tutoring, and so on. And then there’s the really scandalous stuff that belong on Jerry Springer and Maury. So, uh…

Here is Fifteen by Taylor Swift. She’s like the Queen of high school related pop music. :P I like the video, specifically, their clothes and the color changes. :P

Here’s another Taylor video, You Belong with Me. Yeah, sure, it’s overplayed on the radio, but I’m pretty sure everyone has experienced this moment in their high school life. And this video tells a story too, and it isn’t just a Sim version of the actual video. And I like their clothes, again. :P

This next song is about school fights. And cheerleaders. And bananas. So, this video is… Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani! I’m just warning you, this video features the s word a lot, so don’t watch if you dislike cursing. And ugh, bad thumbnail. DX

Good luck with school, everyone! :)

That’s So Cool!

On Disney, they’re airing a bunch of commercials for Raven’s appearance on Sonny with a Chance. :D I loved That’s So Raven and I was really disappointed when Disney cancelled Cory in The House. I remember last year I read a rumor about a possible Chelsea spinoff, called Chelsea Daniels in the Diamond. I’m not sure WHAT happened for that, at all. Like why it popped out of nowhere, or why it was called that. And Chelsea would be a college sophomore or junior by the time the show aired, so if anything, it would be more suited for ABCFamily. Then the show just disappeared. And I was left Ravenless. :(

But now she’s back and it’s okay, for now. Maybe she’ll get her own show once Hannah Montana is off? –wishful thinking-
