Darn These Cold California Winters

Brrr. It's getting so cold, I actually have to start wearing a light jacket when leaving the house. Just the other day, the temperature in my house dropped into the 60s (F). Jealous? Enough mocking people knee-deep in snow. Time to get back to the trivial chain of events that somehow make up my life. First, you've probably notice that I got rid of the blue/white "X" background (it was an X-Men theme) and replaced it with Beast Boy from Teen Titans. I'm a fan. And Beast Boy is my 2nd favorite character (right behind Raven, just in front of Cyborg). The chemistry between those 3 characters is explosive. Just last night, me and Mike were talking about how Mr. Chau's Chinese Fast Food isn't really Chinese food. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen a Chinese person work in any of their locations. Mike only eats at real Chinese restaurants (as everyone should, really). So why do I still eat there? It's fast food! I mean, how Italian is Dominos Pizza? How Mexican is Taco Bell? I'm more Mexican than Taco Bell, and I'm not even Latino! McDonalds doesn't even taste like real American food. So I'm going to continue to eat my fried rice & sesame chicken, pepperoni & mushroom pizza, grilled stuft burrito, and sausage mcmuffin w/egg. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go sue several franchises for making me fat. I went to Toys R Us to go buy my sister a gift. I picked up a LeapFrog learning thingy, and called my dad to ask if my sister already had one. Me: Does Kelina already have one of those LeapPad/LeapFrog/whatever things that teach you how to read? Dad: I don't think so. We're teaching her how to read, so get one of those. I bought it, got in my car, drove home, and then my step-mom called me. Step-Mom: Are you getting her a LeapPad? Me: Uh... my dad said she didn't have one. Step-Mom: You know beter than to ask your dad. She has 2 already. Me: 2? Step-Mom: Does she have 3, now? Me: Not anymore. I'm heading back to the store to get my money back! She then suggested I get her one of those scooters the kids go wild for, these days. I did. Cost me $30. The next day, I went back to the mall to get my neice something. My step-brother suggested clothes, so I ventured into the Infant Girl's section of JC Penny and got her this nice blue outfit with Blue (as in Blue's Clues) on it. Damn my male instincts! I went home, and my mom (not to be confused with my step-mom: mother to my step-brother and grandmother to my neice) said that it looked too boyish. Now I gotta take that back and get something pinker. I've been listening to my Outkast album a lot, lately. Good stuff. Andre 3000's CD is hilarious. Big Boi's CD is knock. Having subwoofers in my car powerful enough to give a whale an orgasm helps, too. One thing bothers me, though. "Dracula's Wedding" is such an oddball song. I mean, it's about Dracula being afraid of his wife. No deeper meaning or metaphor that I can see. It features Kelis, though. Here are the lyrics... [Andre 3000 - verse 1] You're all I ever wanted, But I'm terrified of you See my castle may be haunted, But terrified of you I've cast my spell on millions, But I'm terrified of you Baby I do this from the ceiling But I'm terrified of you [Bridge] I wait my whole life to bite the right one Then you come along and that freaks me out So I'm frightened (Ooh)Dracula's Wedding [verse 2] I 've never ran from no one, But I'm terrified of you See my heartbeat is a slow one But I'm terrified of you I've been around for ages But I'm terrified of you Drag my thing across the stage Yet I'm terrified of you [Bridge] I wait my whole life to bite the right one Then you come along and that freaks me out So I'm frightened (Ooh)Dracula's Wedding [ad-libs] I'm terrified. You know I'm terrified You know I'm terrified Shh, here she comes. [Kelis - verse 3] 3000... 3000... 3000... 3000... Give me the chance to dance romance Don't run, I'm not the sun So much at stake-- Oh! Bad choice of words But I'm not the gun With silver bullets And I can count (1, 2, 3) Plus I make great peanut butter And jelly sandwiches Van Hellsing I don't get it, either. Much Love
