My Top Ten List (Again)

Last year, I posted this list of Top Ten:


My Top Ten Ways to Procrastinate Grading Papers
1. Playing Scrabble
2. Reading
3. Watching mindless TV
4. Playing with my kids
5. Cooking
6. Finding interesting articles to blog
7. On-line shopping
8. Texting
9. Facebook
10.  Running (I hate running....)


At the request of a previous student (thanks, Cat), I'm posting a new Top Ten list.   Apparently, you are all boring and falling into the crazy pattern of posting comments that fall into the category of "This is what I think Mrs. Powers wants me to write." Yuck.  (And, btw, I do not want you to DO that - ever. Be who you are!)


Here is my new list......


My Top Ten TV Shows 
Bet you all thought I would list Best Books  or  Grammar Mistakes! Oh, I have a life outside of English; I swear I do. I'll save those two top ten lists for another day.  For now, I will let you in on my dirty little secret addiction: TV.  Here is a list of the shows I never miss!!


1. Dexter
2. Criminal Minds
3. Flipping Out
4. Any Housewives of... (but especially New Jersey)
5. Curb Your Enthusiasm
6. Modern Family
7. How I Met Your Mother
8. Gray's Anatomy
9. In the Middle (edit) GLEE (HOW did I forget Glee?)
10. True Blood and Vampire Diaries (both vampire shows so I'm allowed to give them a tie)


Now, before you comment, here is the biggest rule:  You can comment on my list of Top Ten or another student's list, but you can NOT repeat the same topic.  In other words, no more Top Ten TV Shows lists. Come up with your ideas!!!


For example, you can say, "Hey, Mrs. Powers, I love watching Vampire Diaries, too! My list is the Top Ten _____"  <---  then you fill in the blank!  :-)


Let's have fun and show those personalities!

    Out of all the housewives I love the real housewives of miami the most because one of the ladies looks like a monster!!! Oh my God and to think she paid someone to make her look like that. What is the world coming too.
    The top ten things I like and don't like
    1. I can not stand cats! I don't understand what is so special about them. I got paid once to watch my neighbor's cats... never again! The litter box was disgusting and when i tried to pet them, they scratched me. I will never be the old lady down the street with 500 cats.
    2. I love dogs. Oh my god and puppies are super cute.
    3. I love black forest cake!! Yummy!!!
    4. I dont like mint ice cream. I just don't.
    5. Shopping is so much fun! Especial when it's not your money!!
    6. Cleaning the house. I have to do well in life so i can afford a maid because that would be my lifes punishment. I do clean my room, i acually can't do my homework if my bed isn't made. I just can't clean after other people because IT'S NOT MY MESS!!!
    7. Polish food is delicious!!
    8. I don't like Mc'Donalds, that's why i'm not American.
    9.I love my dad's cooking, he makes up for my mothers lack of talent in the kitchen.
    10. I can't stand running, i'm a swimmer for a reason.

    WOW. Great and entertaining reading. So many comments but basically I will say that @Mrs. Powers-I didn't realize how much our tastes actually differed in television entertainment. Love most of @Tara's list (not #2 as much as others), @Lauren-#1 and #2 would be difficult to live without, @Hannah L. has a great list and should consider adding Petra, Jordan to the list, @ Victoria Novie-Sarabeth's is one of my favorite New York breakfast hangouts. Finally- the real reason for my post. Top 10 excuses for not doing homework

    1) It was dark and my solar powered calculator did not work.
    2) I have the mathematical proof but there isn't enough room to write it in the margin.
    3) I didn't want to add to your already heavy workload.
    4) I let my friend borrow it but he moved away.
    5) My dog ate it-I brought in the stool sample to prove it.
    6) Am I supposed to bring homework to school?
    7)I got my head caught in the power window of the car and had to spend the entire night in the garage.
    8)I’m suffering from Ergasiaspitiouphobia (fear of homework) and could find a doctor to treat that disease.
    9)I did my homework in my head-I didn't know I was supposed to write it down. Then I forgot. Was I supposed to write it down?
    10) And the best for last...how can you get mad over something I did't even do?

    Top Ten Things That Will Probably Make Me Like You A Little Less
    1. If you like Justin Bieber
    2. If you insult Harry Potter in any way
    3. If you get "your" and "you're" mixed up. (Seriously, is it that hard?!)
    4. If you insult my music (I listen to music that most people my age don't like as in MGMT, Vampire Weekend, Two Door Cinema Club, Matt&Kim, etc.)
    5. If you're overly obsessed with facebook and tumblr (they're really not that great... but I still love 'em)
    6. If you talk with acronyms. (Example: "What do you want for dinner?" "IDK" Um, no. It's "I don't know.)
    7. If you insult someone I'm close to right in front of me. (I'm standing right next to you and you're not exactly whispering)
    8. When you say "HIYA!" when I tell you I do karate. (No, I actually can't break boards, I'm a 13 year old girl.)
    9. When people re-send texts when you don't reply. (Yes, I got your message, I just don't know what I'm supposed to say to "hahaha")
    10. When people take a bajillion pictures of themselves (Whew. Good thing you just uploaded yet ANOTHER picture of yourself onto facebook, I was worried that all of your facial features changed in a matter of seconds)
    In case you haven't noticed, most people annoy me... :p
    Oh, and, girls who like Justin Bieber... don't freak out, I hear it enough from my cousin who's in love with him haha I just don't find him that significant.

  48. Mrs. Powers, I've found my younger self, and she is fantastic! By the way, Ms. Stupp, I love your list. :) I do see that I will have to educate a few students in what is and isn't good music. (I will be speaking to David about his sister.) I'm kind of surprised that no one has posted a favorite books list, so I will do so.

    TEN BOOKS THAT I REALLY, REALLY ENJOYED AND WAS ABLE TO REMEMBER AT THE MOMENT, AND SO I WILL TENTATIVELY VENTURE TO SAY THEY ARE MY FAVORITES:
    1.) I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak (Just finished it a week ago. It was AMAZING. Hom)
    2.) The Outsiders S. E. Hinton
    3.)Notes From the Midnight Driver by Jordan Sonnenblick(Hilarious read.)
    4.)Digital Fortress by Dan Brown
    5.) For The Win by Cory Doctorow (Really fresh plot.)
    6.) H.I.V.E series by Mark Walden
    7.) Funny in Farsi by Firoozeh Dumas (Hilarious memoir about an Iranian family.)
    8.) Rainbow Boys by Alex Sanchez
    9.) Freak the Mighty by Rodman Philbrick

    I'm still looking for the last one...

    Jeremy: I love Harry Potter! Though I, personally, think that the movies get better each time a new one is made-for example, Deathly Hallows Pt. 2 is my favorite and Sorcerer's Stone is my least favorite.
    Mrs. Powers-I love Modern Family! I can't wait for the new season!
    Bella: Definitely agree with your number 2. I want to visit England so badly!

    Anyways, here is my list. Since all the good topics were taken, I went with: My Top Ten Favorite Things

    1. Reading (I love books, my favorites are fiction, adventure, and murder mystery)
    2. Art (drawing, painting, designing something, doodling...I love almost every form of art, I may even want to be an artist when I'm older! I haven't decided yet though...)
    3. Listening to music-my friend got me hooked on this one rapper-his songs are definitely NOT age appropriate, though, so you probably shouldn't listen to them. He has a really good voice though. I like other music, too: pop, rock, etc. I listen to a lot of different types of music. :)
    4. These are my three favorite places to eat-I can't decide which one's my favorite so they're all tied for first: the Melting Pot, Stir Crazy, and Charlie's Grilled Subs. Yum. :P
    5. Food! I like a lot of foods, but I can be very picky.
    6. Roller skating. NOT ice skating. I'm actually going to try playing roller hockey this year. My brothers are going to teach me.
    7. Funny things-funny TV. shows (like Modern Family), funny jokes, funny pictures and videos, etc. If it makes me laugh, I like it.
    8. Most things containing a large amount of sugar
    9. HARRY POTTER AND BRITISH ACCENTS. I'd say they're both equally amazing, but in Harry Potter the characters speak with British accents, so Harry Potter is therefore more amazing, awesome, and "bloody brilliant."
    10. Dogs, maybe? I was debating between dogs and writing stories for number 10. I like to write stories, too, but I love dogs, especially my dogs, Lucy and Sophee.

    So there you go, my top ten favorite things. Hope you liked them!

  59. I actually found a topic no one has done (I hope not)

    Top Ten Reasons to Laugh:
    1) There was an actually funny joke.
    2) You actually attempted to tell a good joke but said it really wrong, so I laugh because I remember it/found your version hilarious
    3) It helps me get out of awkward situations.
    4) To confuse someone.
    5) Someone told a joke, and I had no clue of what went on. Everyone apparently got it and is laughing, and to not seem weird, I start giving the awkward laugh. (Oh... haha... that was so funny... Im laughing so hard right now... hahaha)
    6) Someone texted me something random, so to seem like I get it, I'll respond lol. I'm really just standing there clueless.
    7) To see what other peoples reactions are (this is indeed different from #4 on the list. Try it and see the difference)
    8) Someone just failed tremendously and it seems customary to laugh
    9) Someone injured themselves in a funny non serious way (this is never as funny when it happens to myself)
    10) Because laughter is the best medicine. To make sick people feel better, laugh really, REALLY loudly in hopes of making them feel better.

  60. Well, Mrs. Powers, it seems your blog is starting to gain quite a bit of fame. Unfortunately, I can see some students are having a little problem letting the creative juices flow. For all you new pupils, let me give you some small advice. Stand out and have fun. Mrs. Powers, and plenty of other students HATE, with a deep and burning passion of a thousand hypergiants going supernova at the same time, when it looks like you are all just copying and paraphrasing what other students did. Also, a big thanks to Cat for some spelling corrections.

    Here is my list…

    Ten Things to do before sleeping.
    1. YouTube. I love you, YouTube. May you bloom and grow forever.

    2. Read. I can not tell you all how many times my parents have flipped out when they walked into my room around twelve, two, or five in the morning to find me snuggled up with a flashlight and a copy of Alice in Wonderland.

    3. Read blog posts.

    4. Read The Oatmeal, Hyperbole and a Half, DBPB, MLIA, Landlord of the Flies, etc…

    5. Consider alternate ending to different novels. For example, in Twilight I can pretend that a nuclear bomb drops on the magical, sparkly vampires and blows them all to smithereens. YAAYYY!! Or I can imagine an alternate ending to the Hunger Games, were Katniss ends up with Gale, and Primrose lives. Or in HP were Dobby and Tonks live.

    6. Search for music from actual artist. Crawl in a hole and never come out, Justin Bebier.

    7. Facebook. Chat with my friends, play scrabble, and whatever else there is to do on Mark Zuckerberg’s domain.

    8. Watch movies with a plot or a lot of gore (but only if it is around Halloween). One, two; Freddy's coming for you. Three, four; better lock your doors. Five, six; grab a crucifix. Seven, eight; gonna stay up late. Nine, ten; never sleep again.

    9. Finish homework. Because it's always better to do it three hours before its due.

    10. Have a gallon of coffee and then run thought the house screaming to wake everyone up.
