PANTS ON THE GROUND IS WHAT MEGAN SINGS WHEN SHE HAS BLOGGER'S BLOCK

Today I added more widgets to my opera. I love opera and it works because I like music!! Yeah...
Julia is playing a dog game. I don't get any personal interest out of it though. It's rather strange.
And then there's Megan...
Ohhhh lawdy...
Well today she started singing Pants on the Ground because she had "Blogger's Block". It's this silly saying she came up with that she thinks is cool and intelligent sounding. I don't really know, I mean, it's not really a technical term...but I'm gonna let her bask in her glory while she can.
And she thinks I'm jealous of it!!!
And I also like iGoogle, but I like my original google better. And it bothers me that Google has the olympics theme right now. it's not traditional. Tradition's a must.
And Megan's snake is back in the grass again...

OPERA AND THE BITE.

Today Mr. John introduced me to Opera, my new true love. It's a search engine that rocks!! You can do so much, but it does not leave a "digital age footprint" on your computer! And Megan got bit by a snake.

IGOOGLE AND SHE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED

Today Mr. John asked us to go to our iGoogle page. So I did. iGoogle is a personalized form of google in which you can select what gadgets you would like handy. My iGoogle page is as follows:
Theme: Betsey Johnson
Gadgets:
-Weather
-Dictionary.com Word of the Day
-To do list
-Bible Verse of the Day
-Google Maps Search
-Today's Horoscope for Taurus
-Date and Time
-CNN.com
-Weather
OKAY SO MEGAN GOT HER WINTER FORMAL PICS AND THEY'RE LIKE SAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CAUTE!!!! SHE AND ZACHHHHHHH!

THE IPAD. AND MEGAN.

Today Mr. John educated us about the iPad. We discovered that he is getting an iPad just so we can test it out! We want to see if you can read books on it. Also, we are learning about hard drive enclosures. Mr. John wants us to make money when we are in college. Also, Megan touched the gold stuff on the hard drive, diminishing it's chances of ever being a useful hard drive again :( Silly Megan...

SNOW IN LA!?!?! AND SNAKES

Today, February 11, 2010, it might snow! For the second time in three months! After choir, we were told that we were going to be picked up by the SJA office people. We walked to the CHS office, the meeting place, and as we got there, the vans were driving away! We told the secretary, who called SJA and told them they had left some students. As we waited, I heard the secretary's conversation with a parent of a concerned student. She said they did not know whether or not they would have school but that they would follow EBR. Well...she told us in confidentiality that she could see the sleet from her window and that she thinks we won't! CRAZY! And Megan has a snake in the grass...

GOOGLE VS. FACEBOOK...AND MEGAN

Today I read an article online that Gmail is going to attempt to gain its status back above Facebook, one of it's top rivals. It will now include video and photo swap and a "status" update. However, Google is still number 1 and Facebook is number 4. I guess Google's feeling a little rivalry. That's exciting because we use Gmail so now we'll be able to use all this at school!!!
Oh, and MEGAN's not here today...

I WANT TO WORK AT EA GAMES!

Megan and I want to work at EA games. We want to become very technologically educated, and Mr. John says he's going to help us with that. He directed us to this website:

I think I'm going to check it out!

Wikipedia: Opinions or Facts? Oh, and Spray Tans

Today, Mr. John told us that Sr. Chris is going to challenge our ideas that Wikipedia should be used in schools. I think that Wikipedia, although it is simply a blog, DOES contain factual information. For example, I had to research information on the Superbowl. Wikipedia had the information that I needed, and it WAS correct.

The other part of this blog concerns Winter Formal, being that it is tomorrow. The majority of us are just getting one dress. But not Megan. She got 3! And she also got a spray tan. Some have said that she looks a little blotchy, and she has a little orange spot on her hand, but she says it will come off. Oh silly Megan.

Post Secret...No Longer a Secret!

Today Mr. John told us about Post Secret, a blog that's about postcards. It was very interesting, and very witty. I was surprised I had never heard of it before, but I liked it very much. I don't know how to go to the next page though, and I think they need to make their website easier to manage. Megan also showed me a song called Rat-a-tat-tat. She sang it in 5th grade. Here's the link: http://www.pioneerdrama.com/searchdetail.asp?pc=PIEDMUSICA
LISTEN TO IT! It's SO GOOD!

JULIA...

Andrea just asked Julia if she was going to color her eyebrows. Also, we had to walk in the rain today, and Julia has wet socks just like me. She likes choir. She sits two seats away from me and sings Soprano 1. It's so cool. And she's going to get a rain jacket today so she doesn't get wet tomorrow. I should do that...

MEGAN...

Mr. John is absent today. We are all so sad. We miss him so much. But not Megan. She is jumping for joy and doing geometry. This is all true. Do not believe Megan's blog that says not to believe this. She's also drinking water in the library. And getting tan eyebrows.

Raining at Catholic High: An Issue

Today, February 4th, the SJA girls walked to Catholic for choir...IN THE POURING RAIN. Luckily, Ainsley picked Abby and me up in her cool punch buggy and we road over. But we had to walk back. It was awful because, although we had umbrellas, the rain was falling sideways. My skirt was drenched. So yes, I would like to say that I think we need a carpool transportation system.
