ImprovEverywhere

Im making this short today because I have had an incredibly long day, (I was pelted with mud soaked spunges by the children at the weekly library program.) but i still wanted to share a youtube group that I think is genius. They are called ImprovEverywhere and what they basically do is Improv...everywhere. They are a group iont he states that causes random imrpovised scenes in public areas, films it with a secret camera and shares it with everyone on youtube. Their motto, "we cause scenes." heres a couple of my favourite videos.

food court musical:

this video makes me laugh every time because I know it would be something that I would do. I would love to see this happen one day, that would be awesome!

I think that if this happened to me, it would honestly make my day!

Pet Peeves

I was going to post this yesterday but I was so exhausted I fell asleep. Anyways yesterday I was grocery shopping with my mom, and I was getting eggs, when suddenly I looked up and literaly shuddered, (because I was so disturbed!) right infront of me there was this elderly man. Now that isnt so bad, but it was what he was wearing that scared me so much. He was wearing a tight fitted shirt, (that showed off nothing but his beer belly,) and a rather terrifying bright red speedo. Yes, Im serious, it was horrifying, even my mom was like, "oh. My. God." Anyways this inspired me to write about my top ten pet peeves.

1. Old men shopping in speedos. Yup this has to be number one.

2. negative people. People who are always complaining, or just can never see the brght side to any situation. they tend to down me so much, I really don't like being around them.

3. people who dress their animals. I dont know what is so fun about torturing your dog by making them wear a humiliating fluffy costume, I don't like it when people put clothing on their animals, or leashes on guinea pigs.

4. when people leave the milk out. In my house I hate it when someone decided to pour a glass of milk, but doesn't put the container in the fridge. it's always when I want a glass and the milk is on the verge of curdling. I hate that!

5. When your folding laundry and all the clothing is inside out. I hate that, it just makes me twitch having to flip out all the clothes to fold them.

6. when people lip sing. I don't get the point of it, you might as well sing it out loud! Its more fun, and who cares if you sound atrocious, have come confidence and belt it out!

7. over competitive people. People who just go too far when they are playing or doing something and the competitive person starts getting angry and wont calm down. That is really a downer and drains the fun out of a game.

8. when your looking for fork, but all you can find is spoon. Gah! This one annoys me so much in my house we have a lot more spoons than forks, so when the forks are in the dish washer there will still be spoons, and I hate it when that happens and I really need a fork.

9. when its an important day, you want to look good, and your hair decided to go frizzy, and nothing tat you do will fix it.

10. nails on a chalk board...... *shudders* speaks for itself.

Have an Awesome Day!

My Seemingly Impossible Goal

*sighs* today has been a reeeaaallly long day, i am trying to come up with an idea to write a novel. I want to write one so badly, but I can't come up with any good ideas. Ive got ideas, don't get me wrong but none of them really scream "writable". I don't know what it is but I am the kind of person who will always have two million things rushing through their head at once. I am never really able to focus on one main Idea and stick to it when writing, its kind of like having writing ADD.

I know what my goal is, to have my novel completed by the time i graduate high school, but the true question is, "What will i write about?". I have some sort of idea I guess, I want to write something that I know, something that I can relate to, because if I write about what I know half the research involved is already done. And, if i can relate to it, then i will want to actually continue with the idea. I also want to write something that other people will enjoy reading, that if they ever saw it would like to give it a shot. I want to catch peoples attention. But, at the same time I don't really care how many people actually read it, as long as it is read by someone who isn't me, lol.

I also want it to be fiction, because I like fiction. I read it because it allows me to forget everything that is happening and get immersed in someone else s problems. I want it to be reality with a twist, maybe a future novel, or an other worldly novel. My last stipulation, is that this novel be unique. I don't want to follow this wizard/vampire trend that has hit the markets recently and want my work to be unique and different. plus I am tired of constantly picking up books in the bookshop and all of them being the same... it really is a pet peeve.

When/if i ever come up with an idea I am so going to write this, I don't care what comes out of it, it is my personal goal to finish a novel before I graduate, think I can do it?

"I think the first duty of all art, including fiction of any kind, is to entertain. That is to say, to hold interest. No matter how worthy the message of something, if it's dull, you're just not communicating."- Poul Anderson

Goodnight!

She Really is Awesome... :)

Today I realized something that I don't think has taken about 13 years to actually sink in. Today, (actually five seconds ago) i realized that I love my sister. :) I know it sounds corny and everything and she may be annoying at times, but she really is awesome. So today, I have decided to write a letter to my sister, (but, one of those corny letters she will probably never see) so here it goes.... I got deep you have been warned.....

Dear Bianc, (My nickname for "Bianca")

the past 13 years, (or since you've been born,) really have been a beautiful disaster I guess. In the sense that we are always fighting, bickering and making fun of each other, but once the day is over, we always laugh things off like they're no big deal. Ever since the day you were born I have secretly loved you,( although I would never tell you to your face, because there is waaaayyy to much competition between us and to do so would be a loss on my side of the court, :S ) and you always somehow make my day brighter.

When we were both small, (I three, you newborn) mom told me I used to watch you from over your crib talking to you. I would say, "your number one! Your number one!" and only recently I have discovered what that really means. You are my one and only sister, and you always will be "number one!" you will always be there for me and I for you, and when you graduate the eighth grade next year, I will be the one who helps you pick out your dress and get you ready, like you did to me. You have always been in my life, and I promise that whenever you need me I will be there for you. I will miss you so much when I go to university in two years.

I know I have done some things in the past that have hurt you, and I regret all of it. :( I hope that you can forgive me for my lack of patience, for my crazy mood swings, and some times too serious personality. I think that you are an amazing person, and a gift in my life! If you ever read this don`t make fun of me.......

(love you)

Kassandra.....

Gave Me Chills

I am a huge fan of music and the performing arts, and lately i have been browsing youtube for some new choir groups and I cam upon this one video that i must have watched ten times and every single on gave me chills. It is the Miami University men's Glee club singing Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah and they are just fantastic! Just thought i would share this.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8dwWk3-vmo

here is also one other choir that i thought was really cool. They are singing the song africa, all a capella and are creating a thunderstorm with just their bodies, its crazy the effect they make with a little bit of lighting! Check it out,
