Dan and Phil

*To begin with... holy cow, guys. I've gotten like 203 page views in like 2 days. It's most likely my Ashtyn and Friends crew... I love you too, Charlie, Ashtini and whichever other 24 members of us read this* Since I have not written about anything interesting since summer, I thought I would inform you about the Ashtyn and Friends' latest obsession

      My amazing group/subculture/cult of 24 of my closest friends... Even though a couple of them are just internet buddies. We have been addicted (mostly us girls) to the boys from the YouTube channel "Danisnotonfire". And of course "AmazingPhil".

     They are two randomly awesome British dudes who I literally have a six pack from laughing so hard at their videos. They kind of remind me of Ashlyn and I (Steak Sauce, as in previous posts).

     I have no idea how old they are (I'm guessing like...18,19,20? Or something) but I do admit. They are pretty attractive. And hilarious. They both have really pretty eyes, and their hair is "accidentally cool" as my friend Ashtyn describes it. Her, my friend Jill and I spent about 3 hours on Sunday just watching their videos.

     I love the Truth or Dare videos that Dan does. "I dare you to eat a banana *flips over paper*....seductively." GOOD TIMES.

"What's your favorite onomatopoeia?" "...Microwave" "That's not an ono-" "--Yes it is!"

Phil has this obsession with lions (like this little stuffed one) and he thinks that every animal makes this creepy noise that I wish there was an onomatopoeia for (unless there is and I don't know about it). It's something like "OWAHGUEBDGHVJOQQQQUAAA" .... It's also adorably entertaining when they say the word "zebra". Mostly because of the British accents. Another random thing about Dan and Phil is that they use the "your mom" comeback to EVERYTHING.

They are also always drawing cat whiskers on their faces. Like this (pic above. Dan is on the left, Phil is the one on the right).
SO if you haven't seen any of their videos or you have never even heard of them... Click here...or here...or here...or here.
Please watch them. You won't regret it. I promise.

Rooster Prank

Supplies:

• 1-3 friends
• A big box
• wrapping paper of some sort
• A rooster
• (optional) rooster cage

     So, back in 6th grade, my friends and I wanted to do something memorable that was a little insane and we could possibly get in trouble for. It was almost April and we decided to pull and April Fools Day prank on our teacher. We decided to put a turkey (yes, live and everything) in the classroom as a present to  the teacher. We couldn't find a turkey, however, our friend McKenna's grandparents had a rooster that they were trying to get rid of.
    
     McKenna got us the rooster and it was the most perfect thing ever. We named it Toast so we could talk about it and the teacher wouldn't know what we were talking about.

     Directions:

1. Find rooster
2. Put it in a big box (don't do this til the morning of the prank!)
3. Decorate the box so it looks like a big present. Make sure to cut a square breathing hole somewhere so that the rooster doesn't die.
4. Get to school before the teacher does. (Teachers like getting to school about an half an hour to an hour before school. Unless there's a faculty meeting)
5. Find some other person that works at the school that is willing to unlock the classroom door for you (Tell them it's just an Easter present...it worked for us)
6. Put the box by the teacher's desk. Make sure to leave a "To:____" sign but don't say who it's from.
7. Sneak out and hide out somewhere until other people get to school. Don't get caught sneaking around or it will give it away and don't tell any of your classmates.

     The morning bell rang and we all sat and did our assignments. For some reason we had a different teacher, which worried us. It turns out they were trying to prank us (lame prank...). Our real teacher came in and saw the box but didn't open  it yet.

    We were all sitting there and the rooster started cocka-doodle-do-ing. Everyone looked at each other weird. Apparently it could be heard throughout the school too haha. Finally the teacher opened it and BAM there was a rooster! She was SO confused but she laughed. We even got a picture of her face. The rest of a day we had the rooster wandering around and cocka-doodle-do-ing. It was the best April Fools day ever. I highly recommend this haha but make sure you have an easy going teacher that isn't allergic to roosters. If it's even possible to be allergic to roosters...

Cube the Goldfish

     11/11/11 11:11... supposed to be the luckiest day and time ever, right? WRONG. Last Friday my boyfriend of 9 months and I broke up. It was the worst thing ever. To the point I was so upset I started spitting up blood from my nose trying to bleed and it being in my throat. 11:11 PM was really weird that night. I know I wasn't the only one who felt it because a lot of my Facebook friends say they felt it too. It was like time slowed down for the minute and I got this really weird and....shiny... feeling in my stomach.

     I also thought it was pretty ironic how it seems like a lot of people had bad days on 11/11/11. I also refreshed my FB  home page on my iPod and found it very entertaining that every single status was "Make a wish" haha.

     Anyways, I was so depressed that the next day I was supposed to hang out with a few of my friends. Steak Sauce, Maren and Danielle. (Like how I say everyone's name except Steak Sauce's? Idk why I do that... it just fits her) I was sick. I was sad. And I wanted to be alone. I told them that but they didn't let that stop them. Around 7 PM I got another text message from Danielle that said "go outside and look at the starsssss." Whenever she texts me that it means that she walked to my house to do something creepy.

     My mom answered the door and there were Maren, Steak Sauce, and Danielle standing on my door step holding this ghetto Tupperware water jug, a giant piece of green construction paper and... baby food? Inside the water jug was a gold fish. Why did they put it inside that? I have no idea but whatever. The green construction paper was supposed to be a giant card, but knowing my friends, I knew it had to be something weird. On the front, written in pen, it said "Thank you!" Then I opened up and in smaller letters it said "...very much."

     So my friends randomly cheered me up with a goldfish. They named him Cube Gerber Stuffing after being at Walmart and seeing a box that said "cube stuffing" on it and they decided he needed a middle name. Which is Gerber and the reason they got the baby food. Oh ya, I almost forgot. On Cube's ghetto water jug, they decorated it with those jelly stickers. Party hat ones. And it says "It's a party!" on it. `
 Enjoy these other pictures of Cube and such...

Just an average trip to Walmart <3

Cube(d) Gerber Stuffing is adorable.

The Magic of 11/11/11 11:11

     Do you believe in 11:11? Do you wish in the AM, PM, or both? What do you wish for? But most importantly, WHY do we wish on 11:11? The truth is, no one really knows where it originated from. AND today is 11/11/11!! This morning my choir was at a Veteran's day assembly and we were all anticipating 11:11 AM. Unfortunately the EXACT moment it turned 11:11 AM was right when our song began.

     We were all extremely disappointed and as far as our performance went from where I was standing, we didn't do very well. Fortunately, we still have tonight. In honor of it I will be writing a song about it because I admit, I am a believer in 11/11...

     SO...the "magic" behind 11:11. Love is apparently a huge thing with 11:11. According to abcnews.go.com, 46,000 weddings will take place today (11/11/11). Magical? It could be. However, I bet most of you reading this have wished for a special someone at 11:11. Don't deny it.

    Even though I am not sure why we wish at 11:11, I did attempt to research about it. I couldn't find any results that actually made sense to me. Some of the results said it was because it's a fact that coincidences happen with that number more than any other number. Another one said it was when a "higher being" or angel shows itself to humanity. I don't really get that one, if you do then awesome. One of my favorite ones that I found is that it is a tradition that reminds us of what's important. So personally, I believe that 11:11 has a different meaning for everyone that believes in 11:11.  

     Be sure not to miss 11:11 pm tonight! Happy wishing!
