The Anti-Joke Chicken
Author: Kara /JULY 19TH, BABY. Everything's Fine ♥
This song is SO ROMANTIC. If you're a guy and want to sing me a song, this is the one you should pick. You'll get 1000 points.
You'll also get 1000 more points if you pick me up and spin me around.
My romantical dreams.
Won't happen until my APPLE has been plucked from the top of the tree.
WOO-HOO. Can't wait.
Sounds like Mr. Wilson.
"Give yourself a grade out of TEEEEEEEN."
"Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
"19: The average age of the Vietnam soldier."
Definitely my favorite math teacher I've ever had. He's FREAKING hilarious.
WAIT.
Talking about school is banned.
Just kidding.
Scratch that.
Erase it.
EYYYYY.
What up, y'all?
My favorite chapstick is an egg.
Is that weird?
No doubt.
Is this too many rhetorical questions?
Don't answer them. They're rhetorical.
Another fun word. Rhetorical
So, I watched THE LION KING last night with some of my friends from Funny Girl (shoutout to Julia, Katie, and Ethan, if you read the ole' bloggity blog) and they added a MYSTERIOUS MUSICAL NUMBER that was not present in the original.
WHAAAAAA?
What is this, Disney?
Jackin' with the classics, I see. Inappropriate.
It was the part where Mufasa's showing Simba around the kingdom and is telling him about The Circle of Life
Musical Interlude
♫ And it moves us all, through despair and hope, through faith and love... until we find our place, in the path unwinding, ITS THE CIRCLE, the Circle of Life♫
Interlude Terminated
ANYWHO,
Then Zazu comes in when he usually does his morning report with all the BAD PUNS,
SUCH AS
"The buzz from the bee says that the cheetahs are in a bit of a spot."
"Cheetahs never prosper."
"I told the elephants to forget it, but they can't."
But instead, he starts singing.
FAIL. It wasn't even good.
Way to go, Disney.
I'll be sticking with the VHS, thank you very much.
I think imma have one of my Sims have an alien baby.
Go eat some ice cream and pinky kiss your friends.
What do you get when you cross a Mexican with an octopus?
Nothing, two different species cannot propagate and gene splicing is not advanced enough to separate the specific traits of an organism.
Apparently there is an Anti-Joke chicken. LOVELY :)

BATMAN RETURNS.
Author: Kara /My girl, I'd cross the whole world for someone like you
Oh oh, no matter where I go, oh oh,
My unpredictable girl, you're impossible girl,
You know that it's true, oh oh, no matter what you do,
I'd cross the world for someone like you
~The Summer Set
Just like a BOOMerang, we'll always come back
So throw your word grenades, we love the attack
And so before you act just consider the fact
Hey, that we're the shit, we're the shit
~ Cady Groves
You can rough me up, you can break me down
Baby don't stop now.
You can use me up until it all runs out
Baby don't stop now,
I'm all yours, I'm all yours somehow
Baby don't stop now
~The Maine
Some of my favorite songs lately. CHECKEMOUT.
Someone Like You - The Summer Set
We're the Sh!t - Cady Groves
Don't Stop Now - The Maine
HEYO, my faithful bloggos. I'M BAAAAACK.
Like Batman. You know, when he returns? HEH. I crack myself up.
What up. I missed ya.
Random quote of the day:
Mom: "That is SO not Kosher!"
She said this when someone cut her off.
We're not even Jewish. WHAAAAAH?
My strange mother, everyone. *applause ensues*
SNARKY.
That's a word I enjoy saying. Quite.
Would that make someone who is snarky a snark?
That would make me a snark.
SNARK SNARK SNARK.
Erm...
Well, while I was on my four month HIATUS (look at me, pulling out the fancy vocab) I did some pretty damn awesome stuff.
Like get a TWITTA. And start TWEETIN'.
Check it. CLICK ME FOR KARA'S TWITTER!
YAY.
"Not my Dave!"
"DAVE IS MINE!"
"Surprise!"...."SURPRISE!!!!"
"AH-HA!"
Know what these are?
Lines from FUNNY GIRL. That I said.
I was Mrs. Strakosh, aka crazy, spastic, sexual lady. FUN TIMES, YO.
I gotta go MOW THE LAWN now.
When I get back, I'll smell like grass.
GET AT ME, MEN. You know you want some :)
Why did the boy drop his ice cream?
Because he was hit by a bus.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLIVE ♥
Author: Kara /Save tomorrow,
I can't follow you there
Just close your eyes and sing for me.
I will hear you,
Always near you
And I'll give you the words, just sing for me.
~ Yellowcard
What up, Internet?
Haven't seen ya in a while.
I've kind of been missing our relationship...
ANYWHO,
GUESS WHAT.
My best friend's birthday was this week. She's sixteen, y'all.
SWEET SIXTEEN.
So,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLIVE!!!!!
"LIBBAY! Stop licking Robbay!"
"Am I peeling?" *chest thrust* "Did I flash you?!" "...a little bit."
"NUNGA-NUNGAS!"
"Epic pants."
"What do I have second block?" "SEX."
"OLIVE YOU."
"Is that your easter egg bra?"
"MEAD."
LOVE YOU GIRL. ♥
I'm also SUPER PUMPED for her PARTY tomorrow!
YEAH BOYS. :D
It's also been established that after I graduate, I'm moving to New York. With my sexy stripper husband JACK.
It's definitely official.
Get ready for us, NYC.
You'll never be the same again :)
Well, seeing as that I don't have rehearsal tomorrow, I'M SLEEPING IN, YO.
So I can go hang with my daddy and sissy and watch some action movies.
And watch them eat chocolate cake.
That I can't eat.
I'm starting to think that giving up chocolate for Lent was a BAAAAAAAD idea....
Why shouldn't you play cards in the jungle?
Because the smell and flashy designs may promote animal attacks.
XOX,
Kara ♥
When I let my hair down, that's when the PARTY starts.
Author: Kara /Thunderstorms can't keep me without you,
'Cause hurricanes and driving rain
Are washing all my fear away
The stormy skies and clouds won't hide
All that I've been fighting for,
Our love is like a thunderstorm.
~ Sing It Loud
Sing It Loud just makes me think of summer.
Their songs are just so happy and fun. I honestly got up and danced around the room.
Even their album cover makes me think of summer.
I WANT TO.
Curses.
Its TOO LONG until summer starts.
ANGST.
I've also started liking country music again lately.
Some of that is probably from influence of my dear father, who LOVES country music too.
So, check out Watching Airplanes - Gary Allan.
It just came up on Pandora the other day and I kinda love it.
Even though I've never heard of Gary Allan before... hmm...
Another song I would definitely play with the top down.
DAMN.
It costs $1.29 on iTunes.
DANG YOU ITUNES.
Why do you do this to me?
When I have a credit card and its hooked up to my iTunes instead of my parents', I'm probably going to end up going bankrupt or something.
Music is pretty much my life in a nutshell.
It needs to stop being so addicting.
HA.
Guess what Euro?
I haven't started my project yet.
And I haven't started studying for the final.
YOU DON'T OWN ME.
Sucka.
Time to go memorize some of Orsino's monologues for our Twelfth Night acting final tomorrow.
Thanks, Murphs.
Why didn't the chicken cross the road?
It was cooked with eleven herbs and spices.
XOX,

DISTRACTIONS.
Author: Kara /Can you find me
In the midst of a crowd?
And do you dream me
When the lights go down?
And do you breathe me
In the smoke from your cigarettes?
Do you feel me with every breath?
~ The Summer Set
Hey, welcome to the ole' bloggity bloggo.
SHOUTOUT TO JACK ELLIS!
I love him SO MUCH.
His last blog post definitely made my day (well, the one before the last one... you can probably figure out which one I'm talking about :) )
And he was great in Charlie Brown last night.
So CLICK ME if you wanna checkout his blog.
Which you definitely should.
DOOOOOO IT.
Well, this is definitely another procrastination post.
Should I be doing homework now? YES.
HA.
Okay, does anyone else think that those sayings that they put on those shirts that they wear on iCarly are SEW, LIKE NAWT FUNNAY?
I don't think anyone I know would think that "Mister Duck Lumps" and "Ointment 500" are funny... I think they're kind of gross actually.....
ICK.
Mister Duck Lumps = ICKY mental pictures.
*Shudders*
GUESS WHAT.
Nick Jonas was Marius in the 25th Anniversary Les Mis little PBS thingy.
And it was NOT GOOD. Not at all.
Way to go, 25th Anniversary Les Mis casting people. Way to wreck everything.
No offense.
Well, they didn't really wreck everything, the Javert was FREAKING AMAZING.
So congrats.
ASNIKBOPEIRNTPOI4H59IBNK!!!!!
I JUST WATCHED THE HOUSE OF ANUBIS SEASON FINALE.
IT WAS FREAKING AMAZING.
I love this show so much.
Don't hate on Nickelodeon. This is an obvious instance of when it has an AMAZING show once in a while.
IT'S SO GOOD.
So watch it.
Seriously.
NOW. GO.
Well, erm, I guess that's pretty much it.
My procrastination for the day is over.
SIGH.
What do you call a man with no arms or legs on the doorstep?
Whatever his name happens to be.

Catching Pakistan and Superstitions
Author: Kara /No I can't believe I caught you,
No I can't believe you're all mine,
No I can't believe I caught you,

(EXTREMELY romantic. LOVEIT :) )
So I was picniking a picture of myself,
And I tried using the tanning effect just for the hell of it.
And my pasty whiteness is too pale for the tan to tan.
It stayed white and pasty.
This is what Minnesota winters can do to a girl.
FUN, RIGHT?
Lovin' it up here.
2 AND A HALF MORE WEEKS LEFT UNTIL I GET OUT.
:D
HEYO.
Apparently its been a while since I've blogged.
CRAZY STUFF.
Random Quote of the Day:
Kara: "Where did you get that ice cream?"
Estefania: "PAKISTAN!"
Okay, guess what.
I've definitely become THEATRE-SUPERSTITIOUS.
I thought I wasn't.
But now I am. A LOT.
EXHIBIT A:
I was eating breakfast at the Pancake house before callbacks for Sweeney Todd. My super stripper husband Jack told me that he never eats cinnamon French toast before callbacks because that means that he doesn't get the part. Foolish moi did not believe him, therefore I ate said cinnamon French toast. Guess what? I didn't get the part.
EXHIBIT B:
I have this scarf. It's my favorite scarf. It's turquoise and has a bunch of rainbow stars on it and its just TOEDALLY, LIKE, FANTABULOUS. So, I wore it for my audition for Oklahoma in eighth grade. I got the lead. My sister Sarah has worn it for her past two auditions, Alice in Wonderland and Once Upon a Mattress, and she got leads in both of those. In any auditions since, I have not worn said scarf. I have not gotten any leads since.
Now, I have to wear my LUCKY SCARF to every audition.
And I can't eat cinnamon French toast before callbacks.
GREAT.
Want some more good key changes?
Causa y Efecto - Paulina Rubio (Don't hate on the Spanish songs. They're extremely educational)
CHECKEMOUT.
What did the farmer say who lost his tractor?
I lost my tractor.

socially awkward trees.
Author: Kara /Who do you think you are?
Running round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts,
Tearing love apart.
You're going to catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul,
So don't come back for me.
Who do you think you are?
~ Christina Perri
(I know, I know, it's mainstream. But it's a GREAT SONG. Jar of Hearts.... *cLiCK mE* to listen)
Well, it's Friday night.
And I have nothing to do.
What else is new, world?
I think I'm a tad socially awkward...
*The socially awkward tree stands alone in the middle
While all the other trees are playing on the fiddle.
Dun a la la la, dun a la la la, playing on the fiddle.
Dun a la la la, dun a la la la, playing on the fiddle.
SSH, it'll hear you! It gets offended!*
~ By myself and my lovely nub Anna Meyer
Oh those times we had in tennis in eighth/seventh grade.....
SEE?! I HAVE FRIENDS! *sniffle*
Kidding :)
Well, I'll just spend my time entertaining my ole' bloggies.
THAT'S RIGHT. That's y'all.
(If you haven't noticed, I LOVE Southern accents. Most people think their trashy sounding, but I just find them EXTREMELY sexy :) )
I think I'm just going through the ever faithful post-show letdown.... with no time at rehearsal my weekdays feel a bit tired and empty.... sigh.
I've gotten up early to do my homework every day this week so I could go to bed at 8:30.
YEP.
I'm that tired.
Yay. Thanks for doing this to me, life.
BUT IT'S THE WEEKEND.
Happy Weekend, everyone!
WHOO-EE!
February Funk Motivational Quote #4
"The power of imagination makes us infinite."
~ John Muir
That's a great quote. Definitely one that I would contemplate getting painted on my bedroom wall.
Along with some Dadaist poetry.
*Dadaism: A movement in art with the purpose to ridicule the meaninglessness of the modern world*
(Thanks, Wikipedia)
I just think Dadaist poetry is so refreshingly random.
Check some out.
If you like random, you won't be disappointed.
What would George Washington do if he were alive today?

CHUTZPAH
Author: Kara /I'm here with you,
I've spent a life away and now I'm here to stay,
And do all the things you want me to do
I'm here with you,
Because no one else will let me be myself
And feel the way I do,
When I'm with you.
~ Sing It Loud
(You know what to do :))
CHUTZPAH: The quality of audacity; good or bad. Derives from the Hebrew word meaning "insolence," "audacity," and "impertinence."
It said CHUTZPAH on the back of my cereal box this morning.
Kind of a weird word to put on the back of a cereal box....
Hmm...
Apparently cereal has CHUTZPAH.
The strangeness of cereal will never be explained.
I ♥ YOU, Sweeney Todd cast.
It was pretty much inexplicable. So many AMAZING memories. I'll never forget it.
Well,
Somebody failed.
Know who?
The freaking groundhog.
Because the groundhog didn't see his damn shadow. That meant that we were going to have an early spring.
WELL, GROUNDHOG, YOU'RE A FAILURE.
Know why?
THERE WAS A FREAKING SNOWSTORM.
Now its not melting for a while.
ARGH.
Way to go groundhog. Getting my hopes up and CRASHING THEM DOWN like that....
Have fun being locked up in your little cell for the rest of the year.
HA. That's what you get.
The February Funk has deepened.
February Funk motivational quote #4:
"Follow your honest convictions and stay strong."
~ William Thackeray
(Who is that? I actually have never heard of William Thackeray as amazingly educated as I am.... HAH. Educated? Not me)
Now KICK OFF YOUR SHOES AND COME DANCE WITH ME.
♥ Show me the Skyline.
Speaking of dancing, I played JUST DANCE 2 for the first time this weekend....
I freaking love it.
Especially the tribal dance with the guy in the mask and RA-RA-RASPUTIN.
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Full of ecstasy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on
He ruled the Russian land and never mind the czar
But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on
(Spoken:)
But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger
for power became known to more and more people,
the demands to do something about this outrageous
man became louder and louder.
"This man's just got to go!" declared his enemies
But the ladies begged "Don't you try to do it, please"
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap, they're not to blame
"Come to visit us" they kept demanding
And he really came
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
He drank it all and said "I feel fine"
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead
(Spoken:) Oh, those Russians...*
