Hey!!!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been super busy! Anyway today I wanted to talk about mysophonia. Mysophonia is means the hatred of sound. It was covered on ABC's 20/20. The story was about 14 year old Taylor. Click the link to read her story. I recently found out I probably have it too. 
Mysophonia is sensitivity to certain sounds. Certain "trigger sounds" can make you turn into the Hulk (minus the green). I remember one of my Hulk moments and so here it is:
One of my trigger sounds is scratching. More specifically squirrels scratching walls. My house is extremely old and there are holes everywhere. One is somewhere on the roof. There's a squirrel who lives in the walls of my room. Every time he/she/it scratches the walls, I go psycho. One particular time, I was sitting in my room listening to music. Then I heard it. I tried to ignore it but I just couldn't. After a while, I snapped. I got up, went over to the wall, and started punching and hitting the walls as hard as possible. After my little breakdown, my hands were all scratched up and bloody. Just because I heard one small sound. I can only imagine what it's like for Taylor and all those others who suffer from it. 
I really don't know the point of this post other than educating you about what this thing is. If any of you think you might have it, there's a link on the page about Taylor that has symptoms you can check. If you do have it, I'm glad I could help you find out why you're going postal when someone crunches on a chip. :)

Team Daphne

Ok I don't know how many of you watch "The Biggest Loser" but in tonights episode Daphne was voted off. If you don't know her, here's her story.

She and her brother Adrian were voted off on the first day. 4 weeks ago, they got to come back. It wasn't their choice, that's just how the show goes. They were shot down before they even walked in the door. By evil witch Conda and her cronies
.

Poor Poor Liar. Are your pants on fire yet?

A few suspicions are 1. they were the only african americans on the show (except for trainer Dolvett), 2. They got in the show late, and 3. The others hadn't established "bonds". Adrian was voted off 2 weeks ago and Daphne was pissed. Her anger was mostly directed at Conda because she was the one who didn't like Adrian in the first place. Last week, Conda got her behind served to her on a platter by Daphne during a challenge. Conda of course got pissed. Then this week, they had an opportunity to change the teams. Daphne won so she put Conda on her team. Her reason for this is, I believe, so she could lose the weigh in and vote Conda off. As usual, everyone got mad at Daphne because they didn't like the switch. At this weeks weigh in, the black team decided to gain weight except for one person so that person would have immunity and could vote Daphne off. Who's idiotic plan was this? Conda's. It pretty much worked. I was hoping Daphne would have immunity but she just quit. She gained weight. And she was voted off. As she was saying her part about how she was happy to leave so she could work at home where people like her, Conda had to butt in with her crap. (hee hee butt, crap, get it?) She started saying how she was a "role model" for her daughter and she would never start drama. Oh please! You started all this crap in the first place! And guess what!!! Conda's daughter is bi-racial. Yes. Bi-racial. But I still have to say, just because your daughter in bi-racial doesn't mean your not judgmental. You had it out for Adrian and Daphne the moment they walked in the gym. So take your crocodile tears and "drama free" attitude and find someone who cares. Because I DON'T.

So the whole reason I wrote this post is to say "Daphne, if you ever see this, I want you to know that I have a house full of people here who support you. Now go win the at home biggest loser and show Conda who's boss!" 

Sincerely, a bi-racial 12 year old. Suck on that, Conda.

Team Daphne and Adrian!!!!!!!

I'm baaaack!

Hello internet people! Yes I have been gone for a while and I'm sorry for that. I have been busy doing nothing of any importance. My last post " Save the Dog" (down below), is a success! Bailey is staying! What else I did in my time off was go shopping. I'm in need of more pants. So yesterday, my dad and I went shopping. Amazingly we didn't buy any pants. But we did get food, a new Nancy Drew game, a Hunger Games Tribute Book, and dog food. Also this summer I am re-painting my room. It's a toss up between light green and light blue or bright green and pink. If you want to post your opinion, comment away! I also had a terrible experience this morning. I started drinking a protein shake (I will not post the brand name because that would be mean.) I thought it would taste good. Not even close. It was so disgusting that even 2 doughnuts, 1 mini fruit punch, and a yogurt later I can still taste it. Ew. On  a different note, I rearranged my bedroom. All by myself. I almost got flattened by a mattress. I have also been obsessively playing Zoo Tycoon. It's a video game from a couple of years ago where you can build your own zoo. Usually I never get past the 3rd year. But guess what! I'm on year 8! My "fantasticle" zoo consists of wolves, bison, orangutans and horseys! Now I must leave and do something called "homework." Sounds bad. Well buy-buy!

Save the Dog!

Well recently my parents have decided to give away the family dog. I am the only person who wants to keep him but no one cares about my opinion because I'm the a kid. I've said that I'll feed and walk him everyday without complaint but my parents don't believe me! So to try to show I'm responsible, I did my most of my homework, did me AND my sisters chores (because she never does them), cleaned my room, took the dog out, made muffins!!, and will wash the dog later. We're giving him up because my dad is barely allergic to him (but that's his fault because he still pets the dog) and because "no one" likes him. I DO!!!! Since I don't know how to explain it, I'll show you what needs to be fixed:

  1. My dad is sick of always taking the dog out and feeding him. Solution: I will wake up and feed him and walk him everyday. Promise.
  2. No one wants to take care of him. Solution: I will take care and groom him without complaint. Promise.
  3. No one wants to play with him. Solution: I will play with him and train him and cuddle him whenever needed. Promise.
  4. No one wants him here. Solution: IIIIIIII DOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! I love him! He's freaking adorable! Promise.
  5. He's not happy. Solution: By playing and training him, he will become happier. He needs time. Promise.
  6. My dad's allergic. Solution: I will keep the dog away from him. Put him in my room. Promise.
  7. Your not responsible. Solution: I will be more responsible! I'll get my grades up and keep my room clean and do whatever. Promise!!!!!
So I plan to show this to them and hopefully they will let me keep him. If they need more convincing, i will keep my room clean and take care of the dog and do homework for a WEEK. If I fail, we can give him away.

Here's the contract.

I, Marie, promise to keep my room clean, take care of the dog, do chores, and have all homework done for the week of: Wednesday, February 8th 2012 to Wednesday, February 15 2012.

If I fail, I shall hand the dog over. I hope you accept my proposal to be a responsible child. Signed, Marie.

A movie that should get more recongnition

I'm here to complain. There's a movie I saw recently called "Super 8". It comes from the genius of J.J Abrams and Steven Spielberg. Basically it's about this group of kids living in 1970 something who are making a movie with a Super 8 camera. They witness a horrible train crash. After that, things start to get weird! Things like car engines, telephone wires and microwaves, along with some people, go missing. It is a pretty frickin' awesome movie, in my opinion. But it wasn't nominated for like anything (as far as I know)! That is disappointing! I mean they had a great cast of mainly kids including Dakota Fanning's sister, Elle Fanning. The boys also did a cool rendition of The Knacks "My Sharona". There are great special effects and a very interesting plot. It's emotional, funny, action-packed, and an altogether great movie! I would so recommend going out and renting/buying it! Like I've watched it 3 times. It's that good. BTW I am not being paid or endorsing them or anything like that. I just really like this movie and wish it could have been nominated or something. If anyone reading this knows of any nominations or awards this movie has gotten, feel free to comment. Boi-boi!

Welcome!

             Hello World!! This is the first post of this blog. Lucky for the (0) people reading this, they will have the satisfaction of one day saying "I saw Marie's first ever post!" By then I'll some how be famous so everyone will be jealous! Congrats! 
             Anyway, the whole reason for this blog is it's like an online diary. But now anyone can see it. I can say whatever and none of my "friends" will know who is saying it. So suck on that. 
             If you bothered to read my info, you would already know I'm 12. Yes I'm 12. But my brain is to messed up for school so they kicked me out and now I'm homeschooled. Actually they didn't kick me out. I chose to. Which reminds me, I should probably do my homework. Eh, it can wait. 
            So I guess your wondering why I'm messed up. Well first, I have this thing called Sensory Integration Disorder. It makes it harder to get used to new things. Like swimming or riding a bike. I just learned to swim last summer. Lame, right? For me some other things I fail at doing are sitting back. I only sit back at my house. No where else. I also don't like to eat new things. So I have a small variety of things I will eat without being forced to.I also have depression. Like seriously full on sadness. It runs in my family. Greeeeat. So now I'm on medication. Oh yeah. And I also am probably going to be the tallest in my close family as I am almost as tall as my sister who is 4 years older than me. But thank the lord I don't have the Bigfoot curse. Anyone who's tall in my family has huge feet! My dad and my feet are the smallest.
            Another reason I'm messed up is because my whole family is messed up. My older sister, who i shall call Deputy due to her future* job as a cop, has Aspergers and depression and Sensory Integration Disorder! Aspergers is kind of like Autism. My sister used to have major flip outs. Like screaming and crying and head banging. Strangely, the neighbors have never called the cops. Thankfully, due to new medication, those days are over! Yay! Now my mom, also has depression. (So far that's 3 depressed people. In one house.) She's an awesome mom but isn't really in the modern times. But come on, what mom is? Next is my father. He is soon to be the shortest person in the house if I don't stop growing. He is also allergic to outside. Awesome right? No. Like allergic to grass, specific trees, flowers, some plants, etc. Yeahhhhh. Last bu not least is the dog. His name is Bailey. He is 5 years old (35 in dog years) and hes a mini Schnauzer. Hes black, and grey and has super curly fur. And oh boy does he have problems. Recently, he got tired of the weirdness of our house and just snapped. Paper scares him now. He sees a piece and goes into hiding. We think it's because of the stress of the last year. But that's a whole other post. 
              So to anyone still reading, thanks and welcome!


Peace out, Marie.
