Drinks manufacturer Dr Pepper have announced they will give a free can of the soft drink to every American – except former guitarists Slash and Buckethead – if Guns N Roses release ‘Chinese Democracy’ this year.

i have completely made the switch from regular dr pepper to diet dr pepper.

 
that is all.

it’s okay to be average. this is for my mom. and i looked in an almanac—the average height for women in the united states is 5' 4". so yes mother, you are average height. but keep in mind that you are actually 5' 3.75".

last night curls and i went to see strangers with candy at the little, and it was extremely funny. i have never seen the show, as it’s on cable, but i still enjoyed it. i wouldn’t buy it, because i doubt my mother would let me (she wouldn’t let me buy anchorman, which made me very sad), but i would rent it, definitely. so yeah, it was a hilarious movie, the entire theater spent most of the time laughing. especially before the movie when we saw the preview for little miss sunshine. i can’t wait to see that.

after the movie we went to spot coffee and got smoothies, and watched the episode of "kyle xy" that i had taped at 9. that show is curls’ and my newest guilty pleasure. the show is kind of lame, but oddly addicting. it might have something to do with this guy though. *sigh* and i’m pretty sure that i’ll never be able to see a grapefruit now and not crack up.

and my family went away this weekend, and didn’t leave me any dr pepper. the horror. so today i rode my bike to tops and picked up a 12 pack. which proved to be a bit difficult to get home. i forgot to bring extra bungees, and a pack of 3 would have cost me five bucks, so i bought some duct tape and taped it to the back. i attached the seat pack to my water bottle holder, and duct taped the roll of duct tape next to it. it worked out quite nicely. this is why duct tape is my hero. and shows what i’ll do to score some tasty dr pepper.

awhile back i could have sworn i posted about the time i had to buy a gallon of milk and get it home, but i can’t seem to find it. oh well. i did pretty much the same thing, except with packing tape because it was 50% off. hah.

i have to say, our chorus concert tonight wasn’t really that good. our songs were boring, not very well memorized, and just plain lame. the solos just weren’t up to standards. although it was nice that they gave us the whole balcony instead of a section by the pit, since we could actually talk then. and afterwards i got a high 5 from berg, which rocked.

–”aw man, you already put the pop away?”
–”yes, but i set aside this dr pepper for you in the cooler, since you get one every day.”
–”oh man you are so awesome.”

not only does that dialogue show how addicted i am to dr pepper, it also shows how much i overuse the word “man” in my daily life. seriously man, it seems to slip in to my conversations almost all the time. that and the phrase “i can dig it.” that needs to stop. as liz says, “lan, you have dug too far.”

kate and i walked to bagel land before school for dr pepper, which was nice since we were all out and i can not function without caffeine. and since i don’t drink coffee, that need can not be fulfilled at school. hence the walking to bagel land. ha, one of the crossing guards is a police officer and we always discuss crossing guard techniques with him. we told him that he’d look more official if he walked with his hands behind his back, and he told us that we’d look more alive if we crossed when the light was red, not green.

i’m going to the davinci code at 10:30pm (leaving at 9:30 though, to pick up kelly’s bf, jack, and i think kieran). and since i won’t be back till 1ish, i’ll tell you about the movie tomorrow, mkay?

shamelessly stolen from dad…
did you get the memo?
and
really awesome shoelacing methods!

i get to sleep in tomorrow, but i think i’ll just get up at 6 like normal and write my english essay so i won’t have any work tomorrow. but then again, maybe i won’t.

i am going through dr pepper withdrawl. only one can today? oh the horror!

jeez louise. it’s freakin’ 4:30 in the morning and i’m still not finished with these damn buttons. you see, liz wanted me to make 50 or so buttons to sell at the erg-a-thon tomorrow (today), and my mom neglected to tell me until 11pm. well, i guess it’s not her fault, as she told me back when i was told i had to attend this event, but nothing else was said until tonight. the buttons are not even that cool. but shmeh, whatever. i have to leave at 8am, so i should get to sleep soon or i’m not going to be able to function tomorrow.

lan: mom, i’m not going to be able to do this without a dr pepper or two.
mom: all over it, they’re next to the recycling bin. i know how to bribe you.

i’m totally bummed that school is happening again this year.

i’m so glad i didn’t get too many “see you next year!” comments. i did get one from bus driver john, but he’s old and i let it slide. but when my peers say it, i want to slap them in the face.

i am going through dr p withdrawl. i haven’t had one since december 23, the last day of school before the break. i haven’t been to a store since that date. the only times i’ve been out of the house were to go to parties and such. i need a dr pepper or i shall surely die.

Now for the locker story… Friday after social studies I went to my locker and my lock was gone! I must have forgotten to click it all the way. So I went to Michaela and she had that mini lock in her locker still so I borrowed it. I wrote the combo on my arm so I’d remember on Monday. 15-33-5, it’s still there. It took me like an hour to close the lock. I couldn’t get in closed so I just ramed it against the door for awhile. Then I went home, yada yada yada. I found a lock in my room and brought it in today, but not until I wrote the combo on my arm. So now I have two combos on my arm and everyone has to ask me about them. Ha ha ha. And now no one can steal my Dr Pepper (12-pack courtesy of Katie). Although, many people opened my locker for me today because I couldn’t do the combo. OYE!

maszerowski: thanks for the dr pepper, i managed to drop it twice on the way to my locker and then i came back later and it fell out again when i opened the door. later after lunch i got one but i was talking to someone and they knocked into me and they rolled all over the hall. someone tried to steal one but i yelled at them. ha ha ha
Luckypattie: LoL
