Mean Girls (No, Not The Movie)

Sarah has arrived!
Girls are really stupid and pathetic, seriously. I see it a lot in TV shows, they put out that stupidity in girls, fighting over the stupidest thing (mostly guys) or backstabbing each other and more. Girls are capable of being the meanest beings on the planet. Me being a girl I know first hand how mean girls can be to each other, girls just want popularity and the boys, most girls at least. I'm not one of those, I've done mean things but never to the point of meanness, if that even makes any sense at all. But this is why they are stupid, because they are so mean to each other and what is the point of being mean in the first place? To get the guy that will only last a week? To be popular and get everyone to like you but while in the future they will think you were the biggest witch ever? I see no point. Most girls haven't figured out that being nice can do the same thing with better results! You can attract the right guy by being nice and keep him for a life time. You can win over everyone by kindness and keep them as friends forever. The girls that are mean have the right mindset but got it all wrong because they think that no one will take them seriously if they are nice to everyone and they will be taken advantage of but you've got to know your limits. Be mean when you have to but don't take it so far where you're considered mean. Going back to the TV shows, that's where most girls learn to be mean, watching other girls be mean on television. I think young girls shouldn't watch shows where there are mean girls because they will want to be like them.
Guys are different, they are laid back and really don't care, unless they are gay then they are the meanest ever, maybe even meaner than girls. I mean straight guys could be really mean too, but nothing compared to girls. Then since girls are so mean to each other guys think it's OK for them to make fun of us too! Girls should act like guys in that sense, that they really don't care and are just really laid back. Then middle & high school might not be all that bad for girls. But adults can be very mean too, you think they'd be grown up about it but no. These adults haven't learned from their mistakes as teens.

"Wii" Love The Wii

Katie here!
Since games and electronics was also tied on our poll along with music I'll post about this.
Ever since the Wii came out my sister and I were addicted! We used to play Gamecube and before that Nintendo 64. But i think this one is the best out of them all. It is a great gaming system and I love the idea of the whole sensor bar thing, where you move the controller and it controls what you do in the game. There are many games for the Wii and most of them have been recreated from the Gamecube, which is another reason I love the Wii because I can play the games I played on the Gamecube but Wii format. Even better I can play my Gamecube games on the Wii console. It has better graphics I think and the controller is well made to fit in your hand and feels even more comfortable when you have the cover on it. The whole idea of the Wii Channels is a very smart idea and in the menu form they are easily accessible. I like the whole idea where you can buy games and have easy access to them on the channel. For example you can have one of the old versions of Super Mario Brothers and also PacMan! I also love that you can browse the internet, it would be more convenient if you had the Wii Keyboard, which we have not purchased yet. You can sit on the couch and go on all your favorite websites from Facebook to Hotmail. I like playing on the WiFi and battling people with almost every game such as Guitar Hero and Mario Kart.
But there are things that could be better on the Wii, like if you're a gamer and into hardcore games this isn't the system for you, it's more for kids and adults to play together. With the WiFi you can't really talk to the people, which would be nice but since this is a system that is mostly used by children I guess they didn't add the feature, but now they have the Wii Speak, which was thought up with Animal Crossing. I also wish that you could have more than four players play at a time, wouldn't that be cool? Like you're having a party and you have like eight people playing Mario Kart, I think that's the only game that could really work for more than four players and it is really reasonable because there are twelve places in the race. Happy Gaming!

Freckles: Our Cat

Sarah again.
Our second pet was a cat, his name is Freckles. He is eight now I think? He still acts like a little kitten though, I don't understand. We never got him declawed because when we looked up how it was done it looked painful, but I think we should of because he puts us and the furniture in more pain now and his pain would of only been for a few weeks, our pain is a lifetime! Plus my mom never cuts his nails so they are long and scary sharp. I think he should be detoothed too, or at least get his little fangs clipped. :) Want to know why we, well I named him Freckles? Because he has these spots on his stomach, why not call him Spots? Because Freckles came to my head first, sheesh! Plus it's cuter. He has a few nicknames, Mr. Freckles, Frecklito, Stupid Cat (what my dad calls him when he is on the table, doesn't he know that the cat rules the house and doesn't care?) and then there are names my friends have came up for him like Stripes and Skittles, I don't know why though.
When we first went to see him I picked him out right then and he looked just like his mom, but he was the runt of the pack and my mom almost didn't get him because of that, she did though because she knew it would break my heart if she didn't. Freckles was born in a dresser, so no wonder he loves to go into my drawers when I leave them open, it's pretty cute. When I was moving around the furniture in my room I took out the drawer of my side table and next thing you know he is in the space where the drawer was. =)
He almost died when he was a kitten because he had a urinary track infection, it was so sad I caught it because he was sitting funny and then he had to get surgery and if it wouldn't of been for me he probably would of died. Now he eats special food because he is special. He can't have treats or that stuff that prevents them from having hair balls and let me tell you hair balls are definitely not balls, they are more like a puddle. He is an inside cat and that's good because he doesn't get harmed by the outside world. He is a meanie cat sometimes, he will attack you for no reason and if you pet him when he doesn't want to be petted he will bite you! But he is a really good cat though, he likes attention and likes to play and he loves to be pet when he is in the mood. He gets too lonely sometimes like during the summer, like now, when I sleep in late he scratches on my door to come inside because no one is around. He does this at night too but sometimes when I open the door he doesn't come inside just looks at me so I close the door and he scratches again, it's non stop until he finally comes inside. But then when it's early in the morning he gets hungry and wants to get out and eat, so guess what? He scratches on the door to get out. He is a fat cat, well not literally fat, it's amazing he eats so much and he loves people food and will come up to you and get in your face if you have food, it takes a lot for him to give up, but we usually give in first, he is just too cute! His favorites are fish (obviously) and other meat, cantelope, yogurt, ice cream, cereal and tape, yes tape. My mom has a towel taped to the tabled underneath the tablecloth so it won't move and when she changes it the tape is all eaten up, by who you guess? Yes that's right Freckles! So and you're probably wondering he likes cantelope, yes he loves it. When my dad is cutting it up with a knife its like he is cutting fish, he is all over him. One time we left the container, closed, ontop of the table and he pushed it off and it opened and we found him eating it. Oh he also loves fish food, he is one strange cat. Talking about the fish sometimes we'd put a chair by the fish tank and he would sit there and look at them and try and get on top of it and eat them! Poor fishies! So that's all for Mr. Freckles, I could talk more but then I'd never stop so buh byes. I'll have Katie write the one about our doggie.

The Fish In Our Life

Sarah has entered the building.
I just added the Zemanta widget! Lets see how it holds up. =) My sister hasn't been keeping up with her blog, tisk, tisk, tisk. I'll get her to write another one soon.
I've decided to talk about our pets; past, present and future (yes, I can read the future). So our first pet was fish, yes how boring, my dad loves fish though, he takes pride in them. Feeding them every night is a routine. There is a picture of our fish tank, it's pretty cute. :) We still have these fish and no not the same ones as before, there is this one that's in there though that has this deformed back and it's been in there forever, haha. Let me share a few fishy stories with you that are quite humorous. So we had this crab in the fish tank (we had a few crabs) and it decided to climb up those fake plants, that really don't look real at all, and out of the fish tank, good thing we found him while he was still wondering about the top of the fish tank so we could put him back. Imagine if one of us would of stepped on him, OUCH! So my dad put him back and the put aluminum foil ontop of the hole, but that didn't stop him from trying. Then there are these fish that like to get stuck in the little filter tube, like in Finding Nemo where Nemo has to put the rock in the filter and swims up the tube. My fish aren't smart enough to swim there way out. Oh and then we had this fish that we named Sharky, you can only imagine why. So he was being a bad boy so we put him in time out in the sink in a pitcher. Yes, I know what you're thinking, why put a fish in time out in the sink? Why not in a corner! We learned our lesson after he commited suicide, who knew there were suicidal fish out there. He jumped out of the pitcher into the sink, he died. It was so sad he was my favorite fish ever. =( Then we had these goldfish, there was this deformed one that one eye was huge and the other was normal, I guess we attract deformed fish.
I decided I'm going to make a post for each pet, so the post won't be really long, so you can pick which pet you want to read about. Catch you later.

Music... Stereotyping?

Hey it's Sarah here, how my I take your order?
So with the poll being a three way tie between music, electronics and games I will have to choose one and maybe Katie will do one too if she ever blogs again! I wanted to do food, I love food! What's wrong with you people. Well ieny, miney, miny, moe I pick... MUSIC! What is there to say about music, well it pretty much defines people these days I mean people who like the same music practically hang out together and look the same, that's strange isn't it? Like if you like rock or punk music you dress in these dark clothes and your hair all long and in your face with that look sad look upon your face. Or maybe you listen to pop, you wear preppy bright shirts do your hair all nice and cute and if you're a guy people might think you're a bit gay.Then there is rap, this is the best one of them all, if your a guy you're clothes are way too big for you and if you're a girl your clothes look way too small and you talk improperly and walk funny. Yes, I am stereotyping, but why not? We do live in a stereotypical world. Everyone is stereotyped, there is a class for everyone, if you really think hard enough you can put yourself in a type, here let me list a few out to help you: prep, jock, chonga, nerd, rocker, emo... the list goes on, I was going to get more serious in the labels but I just named the clean ones. I mean these things are useful if you don't know someones name and want to point them out, "Hey, look over there at that nerd!" But it's really just another way for people to be mean and discriminate, there isn't just rich and poor and black and white anymore there is a whole array of labels and most likely if you're one label you aren't gonna be good friends with people from another. I think people should just be care free on what other people are into or what they are "labeled" because it will bring world peace (no I'm not a pageant girl). If you think about it all the fighting is due to the differences and their discrimination, so if we all just got over that everything will be great! I don't discriminate, well that much I get to know a person before I label them, but I'm still gonna be their friend if they are nice and trustworthy. So that's all folks, see you next time! :P

The Real Truth

Hello my peoples, it's Sarah!
Who would of thought, how low can people go seriously? The kid who had the accusations against Michael Jackson just dropped them saying his father made him do it for the money. I'm trying to find the article because it was in the newspaper and my mother read it to me. I found a couple, here is two for your convenience. =) With Death, An End To Jackson's False Abuse Accusations and Michael Jackson: False Accusations or Phony Confession.
But seriously what is wrong with people these days, no one has respect, decency or love for one another, everyone just uses everyone to their own benefit, it's really disgusting. These days are about getting to the top, either being the top of the business class, being the most popular, or getting all the boys/girls, and people will do anything to get there. Backstabbing, lying, heartbreaking, betrayal, it's all been done and everyone has done it. I can say I've lied to my friends and such but I don't go to the extent of backstabbing, unless they have don it first of course. Actually I'm too nice to do something like that I'd just ignore them and I can tell you I've been backstabbed plenty of times by people that said they were my "friends." I used to have parties in middle school and everyone was my friend, well at least I thought, but then I realized they just used me for the parties. I don't talk to any of my so called friends from middle school, I hated middle school, why? Because people were so mean. People take advantage of me because I am too nice and I don't stand up for myself, I've been trying to get better at this but still I can't stand up for myself because no one takes me seriously because I'm always smiling and laughing. I seriously can not keep a straight face for more than a few seconds. I really hate fake friends. I only have like three real friends and that's all I need. So I can give you one piece of advice, which my mother has tried to warn me because the same thing has happened to her, don't let people take advantage of you and walk all over you, stand up for youself and know who your real friends are. I'm still young and I've learned my lesson and I'm trying to fix it.

-Sarah

Materialistic Age

Long time no blog, its Katie!
Middle school is one of the worst years you have to go through! I mean seriously who here (other than the overly popular kids) really liked it? Rumors about who is stuffing their bras, who likes who and also what you have to go through for people to like you. The clothes you wear are what get you friends these days. Even when you wear uniforms to school, the accessories and brands you have to wear. You can look exactly the same for less when shopping at department stores. People even buy brand name backpacks and hair barrettes! Particularly, I could care less. Some things that I wear are like that but only because I like it. Most people don't even know what or why they wear. When I talk about "it" I am talking about neon pants, splattered shirts, and the crazy studded belts. But like I said it's pretty hard to make friends in this "time". Regrettably, having a good friendship is hard to be found in our materialistic world where money and looks are considered as criteria for having friends. But lucky for me none of my friends judge me for what I have or not have. I don't fit in with those types of people. Changing the topic slightly, what happened to the modesty in teen clothing? Why so revealing? All these dresses and shirts have two feet necklines and shorts and skirts three inches long. It's like we are eventually going to be walking around in the nude or with leaves covering our privates. Now for the guys they think they are "pimping" when they wear extra large shirts and pants that are two sizes too big just to show their underwear. And what about those shoes, they could start a light show. Boys leave the pink for girls!! What parents have to do to get their kids looking decent.

Leashes: Parents Have To Let Loose

Hey it's Sarah! This weekend has been a hassle, sorry Katie and I weren't posting.
So, today's topic is parents and their leashes on their kids. I think that parents shouldn't be so strict on their kids because it will make them rebel and fight against the tiny leash the parents have put out for them to be free in. It isn't much freedom, so they fight for more and just do what their parents say not to do, pissing them off, which is fun for the kids. They should give some freedom to their kids, not restrict them as much as possible because in the end it'll all be for nothing. Plus if you restrict them so much they won't learn anything for the real world because if you have them learn something on their own, they will know not to do it then be following orders not to, which won't work as well because it's tempting to break the rules. If the parents don't let them be independent while they are young, they will always be dependent and never know right from wrong and probably come back to live at home. Bouncing off these two ideas, them rebelling from parents being to strict and them never experiencing independence until they leave the house for good. Of course they shouldn't let them wild free but just have an adjustable leash to let them experience but know when they are going to far. I also think home schooling is bad for a kids social life, I mean if it's the only thing you can do because you're traveling around the world fine, but normal kids being home schooled is like limiting their out of the house experience because school is a place away from home (not saying anyone likes going to school =P). Kids just won't be able to socialize because they are just with their parents at home; school is the place where friendship bonds are made and that can last a lifetime. I'm not downgrading on anyone's parenting but just informing the public on how it could affect the children, I read this one article how kids are getting obese from strict parents because of the stress! Do what's best for your child and that doesn't mean locking them in their room until they're 50.

Remembering the Days

Hello, my name is Sarah, and I will be your blog buddy for today. :D
Remember those good ole’ days when you were a kid and everything was right and everything seemed fun, exciting and amazing. I miss them even though I’m barely grown up I still miss them. I wish I was born in the days where everyone was nice and you could walk down the street without any worries and I want to do that because my mother is paranoid that something will happen to me. I can’t even walk with my boyfriend to McDonald’s right down the street, oh well. So anyways back to the point, additionally what happened to the days when everything was cheap? Everything is so overpriced now a days and do you know, to spark your thinking and such, that a gallon of milk is more expensive that a gallon of gas! I mean if you think about it the gas prices aren’t that bad, but still we get more than one gallon of gas in a week. My parents always talk about how everything was cheap back in the days, how great was that. Imagine if those prices were still the same, we wouldn’t be in this great depression, well maybe we would because the salaries would be low as well, so scratch that.You know what else I miss, the kid television shows they had, all of the ones now suck and are super corny, like cornier than before! Is that even possible? Like one thing that I just realized changed was they took off Face from Nick Jr. he was my favorite, he was super cool, changing colors and having super raw facial expressions. Damn, how sad they took him off what were they thinking! Also with Steve on Blue’s Clues, they can’t just change him, he was a legend, who cares if he was getting old or was on drugs, everyone is on drugs! I also miss the music, I like the music of today, but back then it was so cool and I don’t know how to explain it but no one now makes music like then. It’s so sad, it’s like no one has the talent to do it anymore, or maybe they don’t have the guts too! Yeah, it’s sad how everything has changed when it used to all be so good, because the music was jammin’ and groovy.
The present isn't all that bad though, I mean we have high tech computers and smart phones and washers and dryers that read minds! There are good things now and good things from back then, only if they were combined. Now we just have to wait what's in store for us in the future. *twilight music* Mwahahahaha.

Slang: An Abuse

Sarah here once again.
Doesn't it bother you when you're talking to someone via instant messenger, text or email that they use incorrect and silly grammar/spelling? It bothers me very much so! I just got a full keyboard phone and I've been lazy and been putting "u" instead of "you" but that's basically it, shortening words. The thing that really makes me frustrated is when someone uses "your" instead of "you're", it's like are you retarded! I always correct people, my boyfriend used to do it all the time and I'd correct him and now he fixes himself. (: I also fixed the grammar of my one friend she used to talk all like "hey wuts up? dnt u no dat she did dat!" and since I talked to her all the time she uses correct grammar and even the apostrophes in don't, haven't and the rest of the conjunctions. What can I say, I just have that kind of affect on people. :D
You know what really wets my willys (hahaha I felt like saying that) when people use numbers and alternate from capital to lower like this, "H3y U wUtS ^?" It's ridiculous! What is the point it isn't really shortening anything you're practically putting in the same amount of keys, sheesh! I just saw that supermarkets have bad grammar too! Look at the picture, and if you don't understand why it is wrong go here, because I'll probably confuse you with my explanation. So to wrap it up, people have bad grammar, it's like this generation doesn't care and just throws around letters (and numbers) thinking they will make sense, which they don't. I don't know what is going to be of these people, will they ever learn how to talk and write? We must teach them, go on children and teach those less fortunate than us. Hehehehehe.

Absurd Diets

Hey it's Katie!

I was talking to my friend Elizabeth yesterday on the phone (shes really skinny, like Paris Hilton skinny). I asked her how she stays like that, she said that all she drinks is prune juice and she only eats white food. I was terrified (I mean who could live on prune juice and white food. I like my colors ;]). So after that whole conversation on skinny-ness (or for me skinny-less) I went online and looked up the "Color Diet" Its crazy, what did tomatoes and carrots do wrong!?! You cant eat them at the same time... If that makes any sense. I didn't really understand the whole process of it so here's the link- Color Diet
Have fun color coordinating your diet!
There is also a "Soup Diet"... I guess all you eat is soup? Just a guess. Now I think every fat person in America is on this diet, it's called the "Sweet Diet". That's the most absurd, who eats 3 candy bars, pie, and a soda then goes off to work out (pretty much everyone). Also there are the "No Food Diet" (I would die if i was on that one). And the "Prune Juice Diet", which took me to think, they must be in the bathroom 24/7 and man must it stink!
I rather stick to the regular watch my weight and exercise not risk my health to a diet.

Animals Have Rights Too You Know

Hey all, it's Katie!

I was walking my dog one day and I was thinking about how people do such cruel things to animals and I couldn't think of my dog being a victim. So I decided to speak out about it. I know my one voice cant do much, but one voice speaking out is better than no voices ever heard. So I started investigating on what people do to these animals. I was terrified! Do these people have souls?
I was watching the news and when i saw the cat murderer I was flabbergasted. He was only a teen. Where does he get this madness from? He would mutilate the poor cats. How would you feel if you wake up in the morning, get your cup of warm coffee and walk outside to get the paper and see your cat dead on your front porch. Horrible right?
Also I went to Peta2.com and saw the gruesome things they would do to these cows, chickens and pigs. They want you to support the animals by becoming a vegan (not that its wrong) but you can still eat meat and support animal rights, you just have to be aware of what's going on. Sometimes I wonder if this will ever stop? I mean in 20 years will this be resolved or will they be treating animals worse than they are now?

If animals could talk they would be able to speak up for themselves but since they cant, we have to do it for them, speak out for them.

Obsessive Networking

Yo, it's Sarah in the house! :P

Facebook and Myspace have taken over everyone's life! First it was Myspace, create a layout, post pictures, leave comments and messages. I was into the Myspace thing at first, leaving comments, counting my comments, adding everyone I recognized and more but now it's just a thing I use to keep in touch and see what people are up too. Also to tell you the truth I stopped getting comments and messages, but shh, no one needs to know. I then got a Facebook since more and more people were getting one, I don't like it that much it's creepy because everyone can see what you're doing, it's like the stalking network. You see what everyone is doing every second, like it even shows the posts people have made to each other. I mean it's great if you're trying to get dirt on someone or trying to find out where they live and stalk them, but besides that I think it's too personal and weirdly creepy. Facebook is also very plain, that's why I go on Myspace more because my profile is pretty and I can add my music and listen to it and all. My mother now has a Facebook, she likes it because it's pretty simple and she can keep in touch with everybody.
Twitter is now the big thing, everyone has one, well like businesses do and websites and celebrities, it is insane. I think it's pretty stupid though because all you do is post what you're doing right now, how pointless right? Well I guess most people think it's fun and I don't know, entertaining? Well I have one as well to see what all the fuss was about and I have logged on like twice and yeah it's boring. I think the little bird is cute though, don't you think? It's why better than Myspace's and Facebook's logos. I haven't seen many of my friends doing it yet, but I'm sure it's next on their to-do list. Tweet, tweet. How stupid, a tweet? You know the next level is having chips inserted in our brains and we just think to each other! I read a book about that once, Feed, it's pretty good I recommend it. But you know blogging and such is networking too, so I guess I'm going to be very obsessive. The first step is acceptance! (:

New Marlins Stadium

Hey all you Marlin fans, its Katie checking in!

Have you all heard of the new Marlins Baseball Stadium soon to be built? It looks pretty awesome! But really it's a hard earned money collector! The opening year is set to around 2012 , so its going to be a good 4 years before we get to eat the good old Cracker Jack at our favorite ball games. They need around 60-70 acres to build this thing and it will cost around $389 million for park construction and $525 million for total project. All that money is our tax money going to work for this so called "Super Stadium", I rather it be going to use to renovate State Parks or even children parks that need new swings or slides. Its opening up in Little Havana, so that's one good thing. Its close to where most baseball loving Floridians live. They are going to break ground on July 18th, can't everyone just not wait! And check this, there will be over 6,000 parking spaces... I didn't even think half as many people went to those games! But hey, at least we are cashing out the money now in this wonderful "Mini Depression" as some call it. And guess what! When we go to watch our favorite team lose we will have to pay more money just to get in the place!

Celebrity Talk

Sarah, reporting in.
I have been thinking about Michael Jackson's death and it baffles me how everyone loves him once again, saying how he was a pop sensation because lets not forget how they beat him down about molesting children, dropping kids out of windows etc. which the majority of us don't even know if it's true or not (I mean they have that one evidence of him holding his kid out a window :/). Everyone wanted him to go to jail and serve his term while he was alive but now that he is dead everyone forgot about it and he is on the top again. This past week on iTunes his tracks and even the Jackson5 songs were on the top 100, Michael Jackson having almost every place in the top 10.

This might happen to other celebrities who were at the top and have fallen, like Britney Spears. When she dies I believe the same thing will happen to her because we all know at the start of her career her songs made more sense, don't get me wrong I have her recent album, but we know she's not as good as she used to be after the drugs, a few boyfriends/husbands, the hairlessness and children. Talking about that I think her sister will go in a similar track as Britney, I mean she already has a kid, what a shame. She might go the bald route too.

Celebrity deaths are so dramatic though, like in the same day they die they have a special about their life and what they accomplished and what they failed at. They can't even get a rest from the press after they're dead. That's why I'd never like to be a celebrity because everyone would be in my business; writing down what I eat for each meal, taking pictures of me showering, video taping me dancing at some club, I wouldn't even be able to cheat because then everyone would find out and that defeats the purpose. :P Not saying I'd ever cheat on my boyfriend though.

I also believe Miley Cyrus will go down the drain even though people don't believe me because when they start out young in Hollywood they're done for! Like Lindsey Lohan, The Olsen Twins and everyone else. So just watch and I'll prove you all wrong!

T.T.F.N. Ta Ta For Now!

The First Blog

This is the official first blog! :)
Both of us are writing this time, but every blog will be written by one of us. You will know which one it is because we will state it in the beginning and then sign our names at the bottom.
We don't really know what we will be writing about. One second we could be writing about vegetables and then we just switch to talking about clouds. Just expect the unexpected and try to keep up, we promise we won't disappoint you!
I hope you're as excited as we are!
