For some odd reason I have just been collected tidbits of information on my desktop in Stickies. Some are funny and others are no use to you. But here they all are and I’ve included explanations:

1) Customer: What P?
Support: The P on your keyboard.
Customer: What do you mean?
Support: P on your keyboard.
Customer: I’m not going to do that!
2) bloggerbuttons@yahoo.co.uk
3) So didn’t Smith call the Oracle “mom” in the kitchen (M3)? If so, then try this on for size. The Oracle has been running the show here the whole time to try and pulled off the ultimate hack against the machines (and the Architect).
Follow along: The Oracle created (thus becoming “mom”) and passed the “Smith Virus” (the virus needed to set Smith free and wreak havoc on the Matrix) to Neo in the first movie (M1) through the cookie she gives him at their first meeting. Neo is unaffective, because it is not written for him. Neo then unknowingly passes the virus to Smith at the end of M1 when he enters him. Smith in his own mind is “set free”, but in reality is simply unknowingly serving the purposes of the Oracle. He is a virus that is programmed to replicate and gain power.
Smith then becomes a self-perpetuatiing virus that did not exist in the previous six cycles of the Matrix. He becomes the wild card. The one factor the machines didn’t count on. The Oracle set it up this way because she saw the bigger picture and believed Neo really could break the cycle…he had more mojo than the previous “ones”…but she needed a barginning chip to take to the machines to bring peace (the Smith Virus).
Once here plan is put into motion the machines are faced with a two-fold problem. Either destroy the humans (and Neo) and risk having Smith overrun the Matrix thus loosing control of it. Or use Neo (who was being used all along by the Oracle to serve her purpose with cookies, candy, etc.) to stop Smith at the cost of breaking the Matrix cycle and bringing peace to the humans of Zion.
Ultimately, I believe the Oracle pulled off a coup. She released a virus into the system to basically hold it hostage (Smith) and then presented the cure (Neo) in order to secure her goal (peace).
This all comes together very well when you look at the last bit of dialogue between her and the Architect. It’s almost like she’s saying…”See, I can shake things up and change the way the system works. Let’s see where it goes from here.”
She started with freeing and protecting Zion…her next move might be on a much larger scale.
4) “Harry! Simply SPLENDID to see you, old boy-”
“Marvelous! Absoutely spiffing!”
“Mum! How really corking to see you!”
5) Hip!

EXPLANATIONS:

1) This is a odd joke I found on this html website where I was trying to find out how to change the font in just a specific part of a paragraph. They had other one’s but none were just as dumb as this one.
2) This is the e-mail address that was in OutLook Express (the e-mail program). I hate how that program opens up everytime you click the e-mail button. You need the address so you have to open it but you already know that you are going to have to log into your normal e-mail account anyway. Why do they even bother (and yet I still did the same thing on this site, DON’T PRESS THE ALANNA MASZEROWSKI LINK! LOL!). So I put the address on a Stickie and will e-mail them later. Why am I e-mailing Blogger Buttons? Because I made a button for my prototype blog (which by the way, looks “hip”[more on that later]) and I want to show off my skills, because it took longer than I anticipated.
3) If you look at my test blog, you’ll notice that the template has changed once again, now to a Matrix theme. Well, while I was looking for a template I stumbled across this in a fourm and it was cool so I thought I’d actually put it here but I was lazy so instead I just put it in a Stickie. I think I understand what this person was thinking but who really knows, because this is all a ficton story and it hints trekkie: 2003 if you ask me.
4) This is a funny quote that I found in some fourm that turned up in Google when I attempted to find the date of the release of the 6th book (I didn’t get that far cause I got distracted). I remember reading it and no, they don’t talk like that in the book. The people talking were making fun of their older brother who’s really stuck-up. I don’t know, the corking part really gets me.
5) This is a word that Liz used the other day. I don’t remember the context or why she said it, but I thought it was so funny. Who says “Hey, that thing is hip.”. Nobody, that’s why it’s funny. OMG I am so saying that all the time for now on!

I also have a bazillion Post-it notes everwhere. When I get borded (i.e. when my computer freezes) I just write on a random slice of paper. Here’s what the still readable one’s say (without explanations, I’m getting tired):

1)WINTER’S COMING! (Where’s the shovel?)
2)You and I in a little toy shop buy a bag of balloons with the money we’ve got. Set them free at the break of dawn, ’till one by one, they were gone.
3) fish bowl teal wild flower purple gorgeous green
4)My name’s Hurbert and I’m an iMac. I rock!
5) When the clock strikes midnight the computer will freeze, so please, pretty please, SAVE!

P.S. If anyone can guess where the quote in #2 comes from will receive a prize beyond your wildest dreams!

Well, I haven’t wrote for a few days, but I have my reasons:
1) Steve- it was a um, interesting weekend. He came with my Ant Martz, Uncle Tom, and Aunt Cathy (Cathy and Tom are “married”). They chatted with my dad until Liz and my mom came home. Then they all went out for dinner and a movie. They left us with $20 and a low selection of “Steven friendly dvds”. We actually ended up watching Inspector Gadget of all movies. Well, that entertained him for like, 10 minutes. So while the movie still ran we played Cranium Conga 5 times in a row. I am so sick of that game it’s not even funny. At first it was cool, but it got old fast. Then we ate the pizza I ordered us and went upstairs to blow up the air mattress because I thought Steven should go to bed soon (it was like 11). He told me that was his normal bedtime but he said his mom let him stay up till 1 on weekends. Ya right, Carla would never do that. So I agreed to let him stay up to 12. He wouldn’t budge and didn’t even go upstairs until my parents got home and told ME to go to bed. Well, we got upstairs and into our beds when Liz comes in and Steven gets all started up again and lets just say a lot of poking was involved. Liz left after my dad yelled at her and Steven finally kinda settled down but didn’t stop moving until 2 when he finally started snoring. Until then, I couldn’t sleep. But I finally did and the next morning Steve woke me up at 9 am! I have never gotten up that early on a weekend for like ever! We ate breakfast, yadda yadda yadda, Steve goes home. Hurray! The next day me and Liz were going to go to a movie and I invited Katie because she invited me over but I was to tired from Steve so I asked her for the next day. Which leads to problem number 2.
2) I am sick. Very sick. Like can’t sleep, can’t eat, can’t stand up staight, can’t see or hear sick. Or at least I was yesterday. Today was better but my sinuses and head hurt so bad. Especialy my ears. They feel like they do when I go on an airplane, except now it’s all the time. And it’s throwing off my balence so I stumble when I walk and my eyes cross and everything spins a lot. So I couldn’t go with Katie and I hope she doesn’t think I’m faking it or anything, cause I’m not. This is the worst cold I’ve ever had.
3) Another reason I haven’t written is because I am looking everywhere online for a cool new template for this blog. It just seems so boring now that I saw all those other ones on blogskins.com so I’m looking for a new one. But I haven’t found one. I’ve tried a few out on my test blog, which is nothing but a blog with a few post of really nothing to read but whatever. If anyone finds anything cool they think I should use, tell me.

Another weird news quip mentioned in my News of the Weird e-mail:

James Perry, with four DUI arrests in Florida, feared rejection if he tried to get a driver’s license in his new home state of Connecticut and so pretended to be Robert Kowalski (the name of his neighbor in Florida), but a routine computer check revealed “Robert Kowalski” to be a Michigan sex offender, unregistered in Connecticut (Clinton, Conn., September). And Mr. Chance Copp, 15, who was on probation for arson and who feared testing positive for marijuana, submitted the urine of a relative, instead, only to find out later that that urine tested positive for cocaine (Chillicothe, Ohio, November)

And this morning (4:30 am) I learned how to make tables in html! They are kinda confusing but it was fun. You can see my first table on Katie’s blog, it’s where the stuff about her is. Pretty awesome, eh?

It’s christmas! Here’s what I got this morning and at the various parties I’ve been to:

-a slinky
-a kermit pez dispensor
-lots of chocolate
-jelly beans
-penguin socks
-Tony Hawk Proskater 4
-terry wristwatch
-flamingo lamp
-portable phone
-paul frank tee
-purple leather bracelet
-iPod covers
-colored notepad
-Bruce Almighty DVD
-LOTR: The Two Towers DVD
-car connector for my iPod
-lip gloss
-gift cards/money
-Catch Phrase
-knitted purple poncho
-laser pointer
-disposable camera
-scrapbook kit
-assorted mini notebooks
-OS X to be put on my computer!!!!

My sister got stuff too (no computer) but for some reason, she had a considerably less amount of stuff than me but my parents obviously didn’t notice. But she did get this really cool knitted hat and scarf from my Aunt Jean (I got a poncho). The poncho is awesome but the hat and scarf are pretty cool too. Today I went to Steve’s house for the Christmas Day party and it was fun. I ate dinner, dessert, assorted candy, watched parts of “Pirates of the Caribbean” (which I loved), played on Steve’s Gameboy, played “hide and seek” (lol), and opened presents. The day before was fun too. The party was at my Aunt Jean’s house and we did pretty much the same thing there (minus the movie and gameboy-the guys moved out). I somehow got myself into babysitting Steve on Saturday at my house (did I mention he’s only 10 and is very-um, CRAZY!). We’ll order a pizza or something. My mom and Dad will be elsewhere but I’m afraid Liz is going to take over the whole role of babysitter and make Steve totally out of control. I don’t know if I’m being paid or not, cause when I brought it up they looked at me funny and started the whole “when I was a kid I had to work for hours and never got paid and you should be glad…”. I don’t care, I need money.

I attempted to work on Katie’s blog but it turned out worse than I expected. I kinda liked it at first but they more I look at it the worse it seems to get. I asked her to find her own and I could edit it for her. What I’m not happy with is the commenting feature. I tried to do the one I have but the site was down so I got a different, crappy one. I gotta go talk to my mom about these iPod covers, I can’t fit my fat fingers in the little holes to push the buttons!

Katie asked me to make her a blog, so I am. It’s called amazing jello. She came up with the title, pretty awesome, eh? I spent like 3 hours looking for a template I could use that didn’t have graphics in it. I found a black, green, and pink one that I changed a lot. See the original here. I think the blog looks cool, and I hope Katie has the same opinion on it. If she doesn’t, I have another template that will take a TON of editing to get it down to a useable template for a Blog*Spot blog, but it might be fun. I am very comfortable using html now, I don’t have to look up any of the tags anymore and I found out that on GraphicConverter there is a part where you can make your own html colors. Cool, huh? I gotta go. I have to take a shower, find a reasonably festive christmas tee, do my hair, and eat lunch (and yes, it is 4 right now). I’m going to my Aunt Jean’s house for the Christmas Eve party at 6 and tomorrow the Christmas Day party at my cousin Steve’s house at 3. Well, I’ll be seeing y’all later. Happy Festivus:)

I was looking through my News of the Weird e-mail (get yours here) when I remembered a very funny one from a few weeks ago. This guy impersonated a cop and then called for back-up. Talk about dumb. That is like, eww- it’s so dumb.

Katie just IMed me and told me she made up with Abby. But not Chelsea. But they can’t live without each other. If me and Abby are still friends with Chelsea, it won’t be long until Katie is too. On a lighter note, tomorrow’s Christmas Eve! MUHAHAHAHAHA!

Did you see Jay Jeno? OK, me neither (though I did watch the headlines part, it was very funny). But my dad mentioned something about a 125 year old fruitcake that would be on the show. Pretty, um, weird.

I’m making a CD for Liz, right? So it of course has to include the track numbers and stuff on an insert for the jewel case. And it’s double-sided fold in half. Which involves complicated printing that’s taken me three hours and it still isn’t working. Well, it might be but my printer is crappy and leaves stray marks everywhere so I keep having to start over. Where is my stress ball?
