Has anyone heard the commercial on the radio for the Grilled Cheese Burger Melt from Friendly's? If not, it's basically a burger stuffed between 2 grilled cheese sandwiches. TWO! Sound good to you? I don't see how people can even imagine eating that much, let alone actually doing it. If I had a weak stomach, I'm guessing I'd get naseous just thinking about eating that much fatty food (but I just don't get naseous, so I guess I'm lucky). But really, WHO NEEDS THAT MUCH FOOD? I don't think that Friendly's is being very considerate of all of the people stupid enough to buy something that big and eat it in one meal.
Okay, so now I'm going to get a bit more sciency/nerdy/geeky (whatever you want to say, your preference), but it's really quite gross, and I think that maybe you should know what you're really eating. So, the Grilled Cheese Burger Melt has 1500 calories. Yeah, I know. It's just too much. That's how many calories the My Pyramid website said that kids my age need in ONE WHOLE DAY! (And that's NOT what I do in my free time if you were wondering. It was for a Health class project near the end of the year.) A bit excessive, don't you think? Plus it has 97 grams of fat. Yes, it is very close to 100! Good job noticing! Almost 100 grams of fat. Just...just wow. I'm mostly writing this because it maddens me that nobody is trying to stop the obesity that is practically killing our country, and that they're only contributing to it. (Sorry, I tend to think of bigger words when I'm ranting, even if it's just typing.)
And this is just one of many examples of things like this that lead to obesity. So, just keep this in mind okay? Thanks, bye!

I Love Acting
So. During the week after the Sugarless Sugar Cookies Incident (hehe, I gave it a name), I was in a play. Everyday I went to the acting center that I go to, and we worked on the play. It was only a week of work, but it still turned out great. It was an Agatha Christie play called A Murder is Announced. I think that you've probably already guessed that it's a murder mystery, even if you didn't know Agatha Christie, but if you didn't guess then it's a murder mystery. I played the part of Bunny, some old women who is best friends with the murderer. And you know what's epic? (I don't usually use that word, but that was the only word that came to mind when I was typing this.) I DIED. ON STAGE. FRONT AND CENTER. WHILE EATING CAKE. THE CAKE TASTED LIKE MUFFINS. See? You have to admit that it is pretty epic. The cake wasn't poisoned, it was the asprins that I took right before I ate the cake that were poisoned. I had a ot of fun dying that week. It was amazing.
The next two weeks after Agatha Christie, I was in another play! But this one was a musical. It was a bunch of different scenes and songs from different animated Disney movies, and each group had their own scene and song. My group's scene was from Alice in Wonderland, and our song was A Very Merry Unbirthday To You! I played the Cheshire Cat! Yay! Sketchy Purple Ninja Cat! I have a super creepy smile that everyone loved. Two of my friends were Teedle Dee
and Tweede Dum, and their costumes were really funny! Most of my friends and I also had solos in the son Colors of the Wind from Pocahontas, which sounded really good when we were done with it.
Wow. I did 3 straight weeks of acting. But I won't be able to do anymore this summer. Sadness. Yeah, I guess that I just wanted to share my acting experience from this summer. So bye for now!

He's Back! He's Back! (No, not Voldemort, although that would be cool)
So, my little brother (well, I guess he's not that little, only a year and a half younger than me) is back from his week at camp. So I'm going to add or take some away from the lists:
- I didn't get to wake up later. Sadness.
- And to add to CONS, actually I don't have anything to add to CONS only to subtract from PROS which I just said
Yeah, so I guess the list didn't really change much by the end of the week. Whatever.
Ooh! I changed a bunch of stuff on the blog, so now it looks way better! Yay! I'm going to put another post right after this one because it's completely unrelated to this, so I don't have to say good bye this time!

My Brother's Gone!
So my little brother was dropped off at camp yesterday. He'll be gone for a week, so it'll be pretty quiet for a while. Now it's just my parents and me (plus my hedgehog and my cat, but you know what?). Yeah, so I decided to write a list of pros and cons to see if it's a good thing or a bad thing that he's gone, for me anyways.
PROS:
PROS:
- Silence
- Easier to get ready in the morning
- I can sleep later
- He's not here to annoy me
- I won't be as easily interrupted
- I'll be able to do stuff on my own
- I have more say in what's for dinner
- I'm sure there are more PROS, but I'm too lazy to think right now
CONS:
- Not as many people to talk to
- I will get bored (although I have to say, I'm pretty good at keeping myself busy without eating the whole time)
- Nobody for me to annoy
- I'm sure there are at least a couple more CONS, but again, I'm too lazy to think right now
So it seems that it's good that my brother's gone or at least I kind of get a little break. Hmmm. What do you think? Not that it really matters, 'cause you're probably not going to answer. Ta ta for now!

Re: Sugar Cookies!
So, I kinda ended that last post short. I just wanted it to be dramatic. Here's the aftermath of what happened:
Well remember my friend that tried the cookies with me? Of course you do! And if you don't it's in the blog post below this one- duh! So she tried putting some sugar on top of the cookie to try and make up for the lack of it in the cookie itself. Well, it tasted better, according to her, but it still tasted like a dog treat. I didn't even want to try it.
My counseler told us to offer the cookies to other counselers around the camp and pretend we tried really hard to make them and we thought that they were great. Because they can't say that the cookies are bad because that's just plain rude. So we gave them to people and watched them make interesting faces then complement our cooking. It was wicked funny and definetly worth it!
So you know that kid that screwed up the recipe? Again, see the blog post below if you don't. Well, when he got back to the cafeteria where we were trying the cookies, I told him that we saved the biggest piece for him because he helped most with the cooking. And the cookie was bigger than the palm of my hand. So we gave it to him and he bit in greedily. And I almost died from lack of oxygen from laughing. The look on his face was so funny! And we, my friend and I, made him eat the whole thing! I almost felt bad for him. But it was him who ruined the cookies. And when we told him his "little mistake", he tried to make up a whole bunch of excuses for why it wasn't his fault and why he shouldn't have to eat the whole cookie. Sigh... Good times, good times.
The only bad thing was that my friend got a stomachache after eating the cookies. Poor her. It's believable though; they were really that bad.
