bored as a hippo

Don't you just reckon hippo's are always bored... I mean they just sit in water or walk in water and get their backs scratched by annoying birds. And when hippos are really bored... they just open their mouth and crush a living specimen in it. How sad for them.
I just came back from youth group. It's going really well now. I think it's because I'm feeling more confident and also more importantly... I'm learning from the studies myself. Yeah it's good. We had a nice long discussion about who was at the top of the food chain. We argued whether it was a lion or a human... but I reckon it is the hippo... because their mouth is so big... they can eat anything they want. They eat meat and veggies.
But now I'm home... and I just finished reading about 5 quizes from people. I wonder if they were bored when they wrote it. I'm too bored to do the quiz now though. OOOO I'll tell you a good song to listen to you when you are bored: "Something Pretty" by Patrick Park. The lyrics are so funny:
Here I am, where I’ve been
I’ve walked a hundred miles in tobacco skin,
And my clothes are worn & gritty.
And I know ugliness,
Now show me something pretty.

I was a dumb punk kid with nothing to lose
And too much weight for walking shoes.
I could have died from being boring.
As for loneliness,
She greets me every morning.

At the most I’m a glare,
I’m the hopeless son who’s hardly there.
I’m the open sign that’s always busted.
I’m the friend you need, but can’t be trusted.

Here I am, where I’ve been
I’ve walked a hundred miles in tobacco skin,
And my clothes are worn & gritty.
And I know ugliness,
Now show me something pretty.

I've bolded the funny bits. I guess it's not a very funny song when you just read the lyrics, but this funny country singer sings it. BUY THE OC SOUNDTRACK MIX 2 for really cool music.
Ahh... I'm not feeling so bored now cuz I'm listening to music. Well thats all for now.

p.s: CRAP! I have a crap essay and it's like for two crap subjects cuz I have to write about crap memory structures and also write crappy references. Plagiarism is crap! Why don't people just let everyone copy each other. Crap! Thats how we learn how to speak in the first place. We learn how to speak from copying our parents. Referencing is crap! And the fact that you can fail for forgetting to reference some things is crap. Crap is such a useful word! Crap crap crap!

Over Stress

I had my music literature test yesterday. Thank God thats over! So now I'm not as stressed, which is kinda bad, but also good because I'm actually practicing my violin and doing work for other subjects. Quick plug:
SPONSER ME! For the Malcolm Sargent Music-a-thon. Help me raise lots of money for kids with cancer. I'm hoping to do about 25 hrs so you can either pay per hour or just one big sum. Msg me!
Don't you reckon that old school games (SNES especially) were so classic! Like who can forget Street fighter 2? That was a cool game. I'm a girl and even I can play it. If any of you have a sudden urge to play it... I have it at my house. OOOoooOOO!!! I'm excited now.
I've got some more music recommendations for you today: Listen to Chopin Ballade No. 1 in G minor. This one is so pretty. And also... if you are into rich violin tones, listen to Bach Partita for unaccompanied violin in D minor.
Hmmm what else can I say?
Good afternoon, good evening and goodnight!
