Ooh La La . . .

Yesterday, I was innocently watching the Olympics. In fact, I didn't even want to watch it because swimming was on. I mean seriously, boring! I didn't want to watch a bunch of guys going back and forth, back and forth in the water until someone finally won and got a medal I didn't even care about. But I watched anyway because I was bored and there was nothing else to do. I was shocked however, to find myself completely interested in the games. I couldn't stop watching. I was entranced. Why you ask? Because I have just found out the reason the Olympics have survived for thousands of years! The Olympics has the hottest guys alive!!!!  

   

I mean seriously, look at that! Look at it! That my friend is a mister Ryan Lochte. And he won the hackin gold medal. Break me off a piece of that!  

     

Swoon!

   

Well, after a while the swimming portion of the games was over. *sigh* The announcer guy said that men's gymnastics was next. "Men's gymnastics?" I asked "Like the male equivalent of those tiny, super flexible girls who do cartwheels and back-flips? No, thank you!" But like I said I was bored . . .  so I watched anyways. And flips and cartwheels are not what these guys do. They do this thing called the pommel horse. "But Kyra, the pommel horse? Like ponies? That sounds uber girly, I'm out." you might say. Wrong-o kids! Watch this clip and you will soon understand. 

   

See how strong they have to be? See how much upper arm strength? It's amazing how they can do that! Incredible! So freakin cool!

So first we have Sam Mikulak

 

   

   
Danell Levya 

   

Awww and he has a lucky towel!!! :) I haven't gotten this excited about sports since men's figure skating back in the the 2010 winter Olympics.  Go Evan!!!

    

Yep, so that's it!!! And don't forget to watch the Olympics tonight! Woman's gymnastics will be on!!! Buh- Bye!

Me Likey

1.) My brand spanking new notebook by Anna Sui! 

 

I bought it from this place called Pharmaca by my house. It's amazing. Pharmaca is like a Henry's on steroids. They're all about being "healthy" and "organic", but they also have candles, fancy soaps, all natural makeup (kind of an oxymoron), magazines, exotic teas, chocolates, ipod covers  and notebooks! In summary, it's pretty much my dream store, and I could probably stay there all day. Anyways, I've been wanting this notebook for a while and I finally broke down and bought it today! Ahh it's so pretty!
Yeah, as you can tell,  I'm one of those nerdy writer chicks who always gets excited over new notebooks. 
"Writer girl to . . . THE RESCUE!!!"   


2.) Flower shop 
This is the best scent ever. I am addicted. Flower shop is this candle at bath and body works and it smells so good! My room always has to smell like flowers now.  

  

3.) Sweetarts. They're sweet. They're tart. What's not to like?    

   

4.) Josie Maran  tinted moisturizer. This is perfect for girls who want an even skin tone, but hate to cake on a  ton of foundation and concealer. It's (duh) moisturizing and has an SPF of 30! Yay! 

 

5.) Batman 

    

6.) Gossip Girl. I just can't stop watching this show. I'm only on season two via netflix, but I love the fashion and the drama. Whoohoo go Chuck and Blair! Boo Dan, I hate you! 

  

7.) Tea!!!  Nothing like a good old Chai Tea Latte!!!

Will you marry me?

  My second favorite tea that's not a latte would be Tazo Organic Apple Red from Henry's. It tastes like cinnamon caramel apples. Yummy!!!.    

      

How to be "Hip"

Now a days, it's grown increasingly difficult to understand the conversations of America's youth. Is "sick" good or bad? Is it still hip to say "gnarly"? Will it sound retro to use the word "groovy" in sentence, or will you come off as trying too hard? Here are some happenin' phrases I have collected to immediately make you sound 10x more dopealicous.  

-"Do you need napkin? Cuz you just got served!"  
Best used after an insult, such as: "The day of your birth is an international day of mourning. . . (give a pause to let that sink in) . . .You just got served!" Note: this can be switched with "Do you want an icepack? Cuz you just got burned!" To add even more impact, try licking your finger and making a sizzling sound.  

Diss! 

-"Ya know what I'm sayin'?" 

No, no one will know what you're saying, but what they will know, is that you sound as cool as a cucumber!

-"Dude, dude, bro . . . bro, bro, dude, dude, bro, dude . . ." 
Just see how many times it is physically possible to say this sequence in a convo.  You will thank me.    


-"Get down with your bad self."   
If you don't understand this, there's clearly something wrong with you. 


-"I'm totally buggin . . .  gotta book."
Um hello, let's bring back 90s lingo!   

-"yo yo, wazzup my homies?"   
Um, no way will you sound like a wannabe black person. Egads, pshaw. 


Ok sillies, go out into the world and use the lingo! Have fun!

New Hair!!!

Ta-da! You like? 

WAH!

I'm Back!!!

Hey all, I'm back from the first day of my college adventure. Oh, yeah 5 hours of french a day and an hour in the "language lab" afterwards. Not exactly fun, but strangely easy.
Allow me to explain. This is what would happen in during sophomore year:


Teach: Numero trois, sil-vous plait? Volunteer? 
Silence.
T: Victim?
Me: Please don't look at me, hide, hide!!!!!
I duck behind the person in front of me. Unfortunetly, the movement has attracted their attention.
Me: Oh no!!! Eye-contact! Avert gaze!!!
I look away quickly.
Teach: . . . Kyra?
Me: NOOOOOOO!


But in college:
Teach: Kyra!
Me: Je voudrais un coca at un sandwich, sil-vous plait.


The questions are so easy! They're just reviewing what I've already learned. I feel like some sort of super human genius. And sure, maybe I don't have any friends, but neither does anyone else! On our 15 minute breaks, everyone splits up in all different directions on their own.
But wait, here's the best part of college.
I don't have to raise my hand and announce to the class that I have to go to the bathroom. I just leave!!! 
So yeah, 3 more weeks and I'm free!!!

College!!!

Hey guys, so this is gong to be a short blog, but I wanted to tell you I'm starting my French 2 course at Community College tomorrow!
I'm taking the course during the summer so that I'll have room for an elective next year. I'm thinking psychology. 
I'm really nervous! I'm still in high school so I won't know anybody there and they'll all be older than me. 
Plus, I can't do small talk! I melt and turn the color of exploding tomatoes during small talk. Observe: 


Nice person: Hey, friend! 
Me: ummmm . . . hi. 
NP:How are you? 
M:I'm-I'm . . . . 
NP:Are you ok? 
M: Yeah, I'm just-ahhhhhhhh!!!!! 
And then I fling my blubbering self out of the door and run outside screaming. 
NP:You're what?  


Well, I'll tell you how it goes tomorrow.   
Souhaitez-moi bonne chance!!! 


Merci beaucoup, mes amies!!!
