walk into the mind of the sappy

I recently went to the library, somehow managing to get five books from a library that is miniscule and tiny, and yet STILL larger than the Southlake Public Library. I am seriously considering filing a complaint when I get back. I mean really. I thought that Southlake was really big on the whole,  "education is really important!" thing. so please explain to me why I could finish the entire Young Adult section in like three weeks and not enjoy far too many of them. Is one floor really all you have for me? honestly.

But because of all the Nicholas Sparks books that become movies and sing he is the only contemporary author besides J.K. Rowling who has a novel that has stayed on the New York Times hardcover and paperback bestsellers lists for more than a year, I thought I would just check out one and see. The only book they have of his is the last song, which I thought was going to be awful since I didn't really adore the movie. Turns out it is better than the movie by a long run and if you are into sappy romances, then please check it out.

sappy: those who love Twilight, (a book in which the author tries to make it interesting but ends up just creating wars that don't happen, monsters that don't really fit into my "favorite beasts and monsters" list, and teaching all kids how important boyfriends are in your teen life. they might save your life, for goodness sake) the notebook, dear john, the lucky one (all which i see no reason to read-- I have fulfilled my goal in reading one of Nicholas sparks' books. For those who love to be sapped enormously, read on. i won't stop you)

the urban dictionary also gives definitons of sappy:

definition 1- Something or someone very lame, or so sweet that it makes you want to puke.
sentence to prove definition 1- For a so-called hard rock, metal band, their band name is pretty sappy. Band name example ---> Butterfly Girls

definition 2- Overly dramatic with way to much emotion
sentence to prove definitoin 2- Spenser: What does sappy mean? Cameron: Overly dramatic with way too much emotion.

definition 3- When your AIM away messages contain stuff like: i want to walk in the rain by myself or i'm here, but i'm sitting in the dark without lights and my head's on the desk. 
sentence proving definition 3- you're sappy cause you want to ponder about some girl instead of just having fun. 

yahoo also gives "wiggle wiggle wiggle YEAH" advice when she asks:

"some of my friends have recently got new boyfriends...
and they NEVER stop talking about them....
I try and change the subject but it doesn't work!!!
Its even gotten to the stage where i have to avoid answering their calls...
What should I do.... please HELP!"

pillow pants answered: "Welcome to reality.....if you say something - they're likely to not talk to you as much but even if you don't, you're likely to drift apart eventually"

Chandler Lohners list of favorite beasts and monsters (or any mystical animal):
centarurs, vampires, (the usual kind that burn when the sun hits them, don't like garlic, have fangs and such) sully and mike from monsters inc., dragons, (such as harry potter dragons, mushu from mulan, robotic toy dragons-- i really enjoy playing with those as well) thestrals (pretty darn AWESOME) mermaids, (are those considered beasts, really??) giants (the kind and gentle ones like in B.F.G.) werewolves (the ones that change at the full-moon kind such as in harry potter or wizards of waverly place) goblins, blast-ended skrewts, basilisk, ghouls (preferably the one in the Weasley's attic) bowtruckles, flobberworms, hippogriffs, cornish pixies (preferably the ones freshly caught) sphinx, niffler, banshees, hinkypunks, UNICORNS, three headed dogs, nargles, wrackspurts (they fly in your ears and make your brain go fuzzy), phoenix, house-elves, and many many more

oh, Angelina Jolie, how you make me laugh.

If you haven't seen the Oscars, let me introduce you to some information. EVERY SINGLE picture taken of Angelina Jolie at the Oscars looks like this.

or this

or this

or this

let me just make this easier on all of you. Every time she posed, or walked, or did ANYTHING, she would stick her leg out. And I can't help but laugh.

and then when I found this work of art, I couldn't help but write a blog post about it.

oh i appreciate whoever did this.

dear those who read my blog:

i'm sorry for all the reading you have to do and that I don't put up a bunch of pictures anymore. so here you go: this is making up for all that dang writing i've been doing and all that dang reading you haven't been doing because you saw all the writing and thought, "no way am i going to read all of that. it will be a waste of my time."

(sing it for me)

butterflies, hippos, and who knows what else.

My mom recently went back to TEXAS and visited my cousins and aunt and uncle. All of the boys wrote me notes. Unfortunately my mom forgot one of my cousin's note to me at home- really unfortunate cause corinne's looks AWESOME.

I'm not sure what this is supposed to be. but I don't care. It's going up on my bulletin board either way. 

It's a butterfly. Apparently Jameson is really into them right now. 

 This is a picture will drew me. At first I wasn't quite sure what it was, but the note underneath it made it pretty clear. 

it says:  

dear chandler, I couldn't live without you like a hippo couldn't live without a water hole! I hope you have a blast in london. Your the best in the world. I can't wait tell you get back from London. I love you chandler

love,

Will

quoted word for word. 

he told corinne he couldn't live without her like a fish without water.

people these days...

There are quite a few things that EVERYONE posts these days. I shall give examples.

numero 1: willy wonka.

numero 2: new "HEY! LET'S MAKE FUN OF PEETA AND THE HUNGER GAMES!!!" even though they are all pretty lame and dumb. i'm not feeling it.

numero 3: what i think-what is actually happening   ---  very famous these days.

numero 4: apparently, drake and josh is making a comeback.

who knew??

How studying for a Social Studies exam can make you say dumb things cause you are too focused on what Native Americans eat and how they dress than the present day.

I know. I admit. It's a pretty long title. But studying for a social exam can alter your thought processes. It makes me say stupid things. And it makes me quite an idiot for the day.

TRUTH.

Sometimes I yell at my teacher in my head, because I hate history. And it takes ten times longer to study, cause I can honestly say that sometimes I don't care. And I have to learn dumb things that I will soon forget after taking the exam because my teacher honestly can't think of ANYONE who wouldn't want to learn about schema and how it can help you learn and how history is just so dang important.

please read my sister's one experience that has probably ruined me forever. One she will never forget and will tease me about for the rest of my life. And you know what's even better? SHE'S WRITTEN IT DOWN. which makes it doubly hard to forget. and if she does, she can always go back to it.

just times all of that by twenty, and you will understand my day.

but wait! i forgot!

Life lesson #18: WHEN ON A FLIGHT, PLEASE SHOWER BEFORE AND MAYBE PUT ON DEODORANT. IF NOT, AND YOU SMELL, YOU WILL CAUSE UNFORTUNATE UNEASE TO THOSE AROUND YOU.

quite the whirlwind of emotions.

please. everyone note this picture i just put up. In case you didn't know it is a pigeon and this stinky bird will be my choice of conversation for the next few paragraphs. If you're wondering, or even if you aren't, pigeons go to the bathroom whenever and WHEREVER they please. On the ground, on light posts, on your head, they especially love to go on your car, and even on occasion your hands.

Since I've last posted, I have been visited by my sister, her husband, AND her baby, have gone to Belgium, Spain, Greece, THE HUNGER GAMES (please notice the caps lock is on) and yet, this small fact seems to be the most important piece of information out of all that i have been through in the last couple of months.

Now, i bet you're wondering, "WHY ON EARTH WOULD CHANDLER PUT THAT ON HER BLOG? IT IS SO RANDOM!!" well, it isn't random.

While we were in Greece, A bird was happily standing on a light post, ignoring my family. And we were all VERY happy ignoring the bird when all of the sudden, he decided to go to the bathroom. No warning. and he went all over corinne's hands. and there was far too much of it for comfort. Not to mention it splattered all over my jacket and dad's pants. and corinne of course. She continued to make every one smell her hands to check that they didn't smell like bird poo after she wiped them off.

And even though, it wasn't my hands that got most of it, it has scarred me forever. I will NEVER hold a bird again as long as i live. I will never look at a bird with a loving gaze. (i actually have never done that before but don't worry. it DEFINITELY won't happen now.) I will never pass one without stomping near it to make sure it flies away like a little 5 year old boy. Thank you, pigeons, for making me hate you more than I did before.

There were also a TON of stray cats hanging around. Sometimes i couldn't repress the urge to  hiss at them when they got near me. or when they weren't near me. it didn't matter.

THEN.........


I went to belgium.
I went to Spain.
I enjoyed the baby.
I enjoyed Ashlie's company.
I enjoyed David's company.
David left.
I wept.
Ashlie left.
I wept.
that may or may not be in the right order. But i think David left and I wept before we went to spain. and I may or may not put pictures up. It takes a lot of time, you see.

THENTHEHUNGERGAMESCAMEOUTANDIWASHAPPY. no more weeping.

I LOVED IT.

If you didn't love it? don't talk to me.


Then I went to the hunger games AGAIN. it was fantastic! again. then i went to greece. saw some really cool ruins. pictures may or may not be up soon. probably not. i'm having a lazy day. 

mom lost her phone. cried. got mad at the maid who she suspected stole it. 

SHE FOUND HER PHONE! yelled at me in her excited tone of voice up the stairs. 

i then felt really strongly about saying "mom i told you so" but didn't because I never actually told her so. I just thought it.  

And that is a recap of all that has happened to me in an odd order. thanks for enjoying. or thinking oh my goodness chandler you're crazy. 

But wait! 

there's more. THANKS TO ALEXA 

WHO GAVE ME AN EXCUSE TO DRESS UP IN MY

PINK SNUGGY AND TAKE A PICTURE OF MYSELF FOR HER BIRTHDAY.
