    Play Call of Duty until my two wireless controllers burn out of battery, or if the wireless breaks down after so much use.

    Thank you Rodolfo for expressing my feelings perfectly.

  25. Okay, the only posting I like so far is Tyler's. Except that he stole my idea. Oh well, great minds think alike. :) So here are two of my lists.

    Ten of the Millions of Things That Annoy Me (In NO Particular Order)

    1.) People who use "gay" as a synonym for "stupid." (You people are not cool. It's like if I walked around going, "That's so Asian." or "That's so redhead." This is an example; I'm not hating on Asians or redheads.)
    2.) People who think they are right when I just proved they are wrong, and yet they still won't admit they are wrong. (You people are just making yourself look stupid. Cut it out.)
    3.) People who say the love a band and only know one of the band's songs. And that song is the one that they overplay on the radio. (No, people, you not Lady Gaga's biggest fan if you only know three of her songs.)
    4.) Chocolate Pudding (Tyler is definitely right.)
    5.) Chalk
    6.) People who say and do things in class just to get attention.
    7.) People who slow down the entire= class by asking stupid questions.
    8.) People who ignore me after I've spent two hours helping them with math homework.
    9.) Hyper dogs.
    10.) Televised football games. (They take way too long to finish.)


    Ten Things That Make Me Happy (In No Particular Order)

    1.) My family and friends
    2.) Mi amigovio
    3.) Fat bunnies :)
    4.) 90s sitcoms
    5.) Funny podcasts/movies/books
    6.) Jack Black
    7.) Baked goods

  40. I'm sorry, but I just read the above post and I have to take offense. Tyler, I think you're one of the few people who actually post stuff worth reading. Sadly, your last post ticked me off. What's with the spelling, buddy? Did you misplace your dictionary? On the same topic, you spelled Mr. Wittrock's name incorrectly. Not cool.

    Secondly, who are you to decide what's cool for people of certain religions to do? So now just because I'm Atheist I'm not allowed to celebrate Christmas or Hannukah? Newsflash: my mom's Catholic, and my dad's Jewish. Now they're not extremely religious; they don't go to church or temple, but we still celebrate Christmas as a family. (My dad doesn't mind.) And you know what, Tyler? I LIKE presents. Most people do. So just because I'm an Atheist I'm supposed to sit on the couch, watching my family give gifts to one another while I don't get any? Heck no! I'm gonna give my gifts, and I sure expect to get some back!

    I know what you meant to say. You don't like people celebrating something that's meant to be religious for the material aspect of it, but there's a different way to say that. There are many Christians who celebrate Christmas and haven't set foot inside a church in years. I know kids who've had a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, and don't really believe in God; they're just doing it for their parents. And yet they're all still allowed to celebrate. And you know what? I don't think a religion means anything if you don't take it seriously; it's just like not having one at all.

    So, Tyler, next time, watch what you say.

    Since this IS a Top 10 posting, I will make two more lists.

    Six Pros of Christmas for an Atheist (and most Christians/Catholics):
    1.)Decorations (including lights and Christmas trees)
    2.) Delicious food
    3.) Family time
    4.) Presents (essential!)
    5.) Seeing the look on everyone's face when they open presents.
    6.) Break from school and/or work

    Four Cons of Christmas for an Atheist (and most Christians/Catholics):
    1.) Decorating
    2.) Cooking the huge meals
    3.) Christmas carols
    4.) Annoying Christmas specials on television. (I hate Rudolph with a burning passion.)

    On a lighter note, happy holidays to all! (Be you of any religion or none at all.)

    PS- Mrs. Powers, I know that religion isn't really a topic for school, but I just had to respond to that. You can remove it if you deem it inappropriate. Also, I realize that I started sentences with conjuctions; I'm sorry.

  43. Wow, I read all of these posts and they're hilarious! Cat, I don't know you but YOU GO GIRL! haha (: Yuval, copyright? Niceee lol. Rudolfo, how many more lists are you planning on posting? haha jk they're pretty entertaining. ;D Juana, love your list.

    Here's my list..

    Top fifteen things I want to accomplish before I die:
    1. Travel around the world (It's a must!)
    2. Even though this kind of goes with number one, I'd really like to travel to Russia to go and see where my parents grew up, visit family I haven't been able to meet yet, etc.
    3. Give my parents a well deserved trip to any place of their choice.(It would be nice to be able to give my parents just one small, special deed for them as an act of appreciation for all that they have sacrificed and done for me.)
    4. Visit the seven wonders of the world. (stole that from you Juana, sorry! :P )
    5. Become more active in learning about my Jewish culture and visit Israel. (I feel really bad that a lot of my friends all celebrate the Jewish holidays with their families and I hardly even know when the holidays are unless someone tells me. It would be nice to feel like I'm a part of something. I wouldn't want my children to grow up not knowing about their Jewish Heritage.)
    6. Survive high school. (It's gonna be pretty hard and I'm gonna have a lot more pressure on me cause I know everything I do, the colleges will later be looking at it. Then again, I'm actually excited for high school. It's a new experience.)
    7. Get into a good college.
    8. Always stay close with my sister. (She is like my ultimate best friend. I would be so bored not having anyone to fight with and I wouldn't know what I would do without her. She always knows how to cheer me up and I'm so happy she's such a significant part of my life. Love you maya.<33)
    9. Find not only a husband but a best friend. (Isn't that every girl's dream?)
    10. Go skydiving. (Even though I'd probably be extremely terrified, accomplishing that would be amazing!)
    11. Go bungee jumping. (Also scary but pretty awesome too. (: )
    12. Become perfectly fluent in Russian. (I know how to read and write but speaking is not exactly my forte. When I do speak Russian, which is seldomly unless my parents make me, I speak cleanly. I just know the basic words. My sister even knows more Russian than me and I get jealous because whenever there are Russian parties at our house, she's the one speaking Russian to everyone and they always compliment her on how well she speaks. At home, my parents speak to me in Russian and I answer in English which I think is pretty bad. I want to be able to hold a conversation without having to ask my parents or other people how to say a word. Going back to the Jewish thing, when I have kids, it would be nice if they also are able to speak Russian fluently and carry on the Russian heritage for the future upcoming generations in my family.)
    13. Scuba dive off Australia's Great Barrier Reef. (I heard it's absolutely beautiful. It would be a dream come true.)
    14. Find a job I love and look forward to getting up every morning for.
    15. Find that one, true bestfriend that I stay friends with until I'm old and wrinkly. (Someone that accepts me for who I am and won't judge me. Someone that I would die for and I now they would do the same if unfortunately put in the situation. Someone that truly and utterly cares about my well-being and will always support me through thick or thin. Someone who's kids will be able to grow up together with mine and which would later also become close. Someone that I know would never hurt me and would kick anyone else's butts if they hurt me in any way.)

    I have many more but those are the only ones I thought about at the moment.
