Yes,
You guessed it, my blogosphere friends.
Its time for another installment of.....
This weeks Onion is my good friend Rachel.
Some might even say she is too good of a friend.
Which, when we can have a conversation with literally only our eyes, she probably is.
Rachel: How am I enjoying it? Its nice... Its a lot of reading. Which sucks because I'm a procrastinator.
A: Whats the plural of platypus?
R: Platypus's..... Platypi! OR Rachels minion army.
A: What is your opinion of triangles?
R: They're very pointy when you sit on them.
A: What is last but not least?
R: Grapes.
A: What did you dream about last night?
R: I dont remember.
A: What do you wish you dreamt about last night?
R: Unicorns.
A: Why you?
R: 'Cause I'm blonde and have brown eyes. Thats why.
A: Its 2027 and youre world famous for your invention. What did you invent?
R: Underwear that never wedges in your butt.
(Interruption by our friend Kenzie who was sitting at the table as I interviewed Rachel: Theres already an invention for that. Its called not wearing underwear.)
A: Please lead us through the macarena.
R: First you put your hands out, supenation style. Then you cross your arms, and touch the opposite shoulder. Then grab your head seductively. Then place your hands on your hips, and swing them. Then grab your luscious butt. Do a 180 jump, throw your head up to the sky, and shout HEY MACARENA!
A: All you need is....
R: To quote Crime and Punishment - air.
A: Please sign your name and draw something
She drew me.
I'm glad she percieves me as a a lady with scraggly hair and a hole in her neck.
Did you follow along the macarena with her?
Did you notice she did it wrong?
Ah, I love her.

P.S. Who's going to be my next intervieweeeeeee?
So the other day, I was thinking:
One day, I want to have enough readers to host a blog giveaway.
Then I started thinking:
What would I give?
The first thing I thought:
Something mustache-related.
So I figured:
I should probably explain my strange love for mustaches.
So today I'm going to blog about:
Mustaches.
(This is a poster featuring many famous mustaches that is in my room.
Or at least, thats waiting to go in my room.
My room is kind of in-between being decorated right now.)
I dont know why I enjoy them so much, but I do.
But first, lets clarify -
I do NOT like them on guys.
Wispy little hairs on upper lips just isnt attractive to me.
However,
I LOVE the novelty of mustaches.
(I got this little gem at a Party City, I believe.
And look closely.
It definitely says "100% Human Hair"
Hows that for dedication, yeah?
Ive had it for a couple of months now, and refuse to take it out of its package.
I'm waiting for the perfect opportunity.)
If you were to ask me where my love for novelty mustaches comes from,
(Which my sister, Amanda, does. Often.)
I really dont know what I would tell you.
Though, thinking back on it, Ive always found them humorous.
But I think what stemmed the open passion for them was this cup I found at Urban Outfitters.
(Hey, look! Its me!)
And ever since I got that cup, it sort of exploded.
My sisters, Ingrid and Astrid, understand and support.
Which I first realized during Christmas.
They got me mustache stickers, mustache notebooks, a mustache t-shirt, and that mustache poster I showed earlier.
(notebook)
(stickers)
(t-shirt)
(On rare occasion do I feel cooler than when I wear this t-shirt.)
When Bee and I were waiting for hours before the Vampire Weekend concert,
She nonchalantly grabbed my hand, and started drawing something.
When I asked: what are you doing?
She said, like it was no big deal: Drawing a mustache on your finger.
This is why we're best friends, Kolbie Anne.
I have this black-light pen, that writes invisble, but shows when you shine a black light on it.
What was my first course of action when I got it?
Draw an invisible mustache on myself, of course.
And then draw them on anything that came into my path.
(I may or may not be wearing an invisible mustache right now)
If one thing is certain, its this:
For some strange reason,
I am a mustachio nut.
For shiz.
And in the distant future I will host a blog giveaway.
And when I do, the lucky winner will be showered in mustaches-o-plenty.
Promise.

P.s. Here is the video of Rachels birthday party, that I mentioned a while back.
On March 6th, seven of us gathered 'round my house and celebrated the 17th birthday of the magnificent Rachel Anna.
It was an Alice in Wonderland theme and we all had a fantastic time.
At least, I hope everyone did.
I did all I could to make it enjoyable.
Planning it was a thrill, but it was also incredibly tiring as the party got nearer.
(By the end of the day I was exhausted. Haha.)
Anyways, this is the commemoration.
Some (ahem... most) of the shots are shaky, but look past them por favor.
Song = Sleeping Lessons by The Shins.
Watch/comment/rate?
I'll be your best friend. =)

Today was pajama day at school.
Thank you Cottonwood High School for doing a crappy job of promoting spirit week - thus resulting in me wearing a dress/cardi/leather-legging combo, when I COULD be wearing my pajamas.
*sigh*
O well.
There's always next year.
And bad days, and such.
Speaking of bad days...
My temper is incredibly short, these days. I don't know why. But I can be perfectly content - talking about Spring and warmth one second, and the next I get irritated that someone even tries to talk to me. Or I can be joking about how hungry I am, while driving home from school. Then all the sudden Im home, storming into the house, stomping up the stairs, and throwing my stuff on the floor. And all I want to do is slam doors.
I don't know what my problem is.
But all I know is it needs to be fixed.
I need to cleanse myself with Temper-Be-Gone.
So to do so, I have decided to do a few things.
- Enter the Owl City music video contest (Though, this is proving to be more stressful than it is helpful. But we will touch on that subject momentarily.)
- Extensively plan Rachels birthday party
- Ask/Plan/Go to Sweethearts, my high schools Valentines Day dance.
For this Owl City contest we are challenged to make a 90 second music video to Vanilla Twilight by Owl City.
I figured, hey, this is kidna perfect.
I love Owl City. I love filmmaking. I especially love making music video type things.
The song we're to work with, as I said, is Vanilla Twilight.

 | Found at bee mp3 search engine |  |
Its a great song.
However, I am finding it INCREASINGLY hard to work with.
Its like: really, Adam Young?
I can picture a music video to every single one of yours songs EXCEPT this one,
But you would want me to make a music video to this song.
I think what I'm having a hard time with is the fact that everyone is taking the song so literally.
Their music videos are sad, and mopey, and very "I wish you were here :-("
And I dont want to take that direction.
But I dont know what other direction to take.
Do I make it a couple video?
Do I make it an artsy video?
Do I make it a literal, sad video?
What do I do???
Every Owl City song is so up beat and happy.
THOSE are the songs I want to work with.
I mean, this song is a fast-ish song.
But its so.... paced.
Its unchanging.
Making it sound slower than it actually is.
And then!
Theres the factor of it only being 90 seconds long.
Which 90 seconds do I use?
It's all very difficult.
I will keep you posted, and
please, please, please give me your feedback.
Listen to the song.
What do you think I should do?
Rachels birthday party is going to be the coolest party of the year.
No joke.
All I can think about is how to make it better.
I feel extremely wedding planner-y.
I want to carry around a clipboard and wear a phone ear-piece.
I go to the store and everything I look at is just one more tool to use for her party.
I imagine it's gotten to the point of being unhealthy - how much I want to plan.
By the time it's her birthday, March, it will be warm outside, and this party will be the perfect way to bring in the spring.
And I'm almost positive it will be spring-ish, cause it's been very warm here,
And!
Today, it didn't get dark till around six o clock.
Wooooooo!
But I digress.
I don't want to give away too many details about her party.
You'll just have to wait and see.
:-)
Sweethearts is two and a half weeks away.
I really want to go, but I'm still undecided.
Who do I ask?
How do I ask?
What do we do?
What do I wear?
There are many questions, and almost none are answered thus far.
But I'm working on it.
There's also a matter of money.
You see, I have none.
So our activities will have to be crazy cheap.
It's all wishful thinking right now.
All I know is that I need to plan before I act.
Perhaps I WILL get a clipboard?
It's late.
I really should go to sleep.
I have a very difficult day ahead of me, tomorrow.
Well... That's a lie.
I have a very difficult second period.
We're to write a DBQ essay in my AP US history class.
Oh goodness.
As I have said countless times before: I don't know why I'm in that class.
I'm not fit for it.
But that's not the point.
The point is
I should get some sleep.
What do you think about the Owl City fandango?
I would much appreciate your feedback.
Soon, if possible.
It's urgent.
Good night, blogosphere.

Five posts in, and I have yet to introduce myself properly.
I think this is due to the fact that I just figured no one but the two people I associate with, and my sisters, would read it.And they all know me.
But what about those who dont?
Surely,
eventually,
SOMEONE who doesnt quite know me will read my blog?
(When, and if, you do, please make sure to leave a comment.
Its nice to know I'm not just sending my rants into the black abyss of the internet.)
So, my friends, this is me:
My name is Adriana.
Feel free to call me Adri, for short.
(Dont be decieved.
Though Adriana is pronounced AY-driana,
Adri is pronounced AW-dri.)
I am 17 years old.
I have three older sisters - Ingrid, Astrid, and Amanda - who I've already talked about more than once in my blog.
I also have a younger brother, Eduardo.
I live in Utah,
Which I actually rather enjoy,
Despite all my talk about college, and leaving.
I have two besties, Bee and Rachel.
They're there when I need them, and give me space when I dont.
They understand my nerdy obsessions, and play along with my stupid games.
I dont think there is anyone else who could put up with me, but them.
My mother and father are as parental as can be.
They love Deal or No Deal, and Diet Coke,
And I love them completely.
I have a beta fish named Alpha the Beta Fish,
And a dog named Jack.
He's a yorkshire terrior, and weighs a grand total of 3.5 pounds.
That, I think, covers all the names and formalities.
Now you know who I'm talking about if any of these people are mentioned in posts to come.
There are a couple of things I love, and they include the following:
1. Vampire Weekend
They are my absolute favorite band.
I dont know how to stress that enough.
So instead, enjoy the following.
They came out with a new cd a week ago, and I get giddy just thinking about it.
Its just as awesome as I hoped it would be.
(They're coming to concert on March 18th!
Life = one step closer to being complete.)
2. Camera work
I say "camera work," because I dont feel privileged enough to say filmmaker.
But its definitely something I'm working towards.
I'm taking a documentary film class, and hopefully will eventually end up at an art school for filmmaking.
For now though, I stick to youtube.
I love recording small mundane things, and turning it into a string of cuts and edits.
For example:
3. Otterpops
They're just the bee's knees.
I've been craving one all day.
I think, for now, that is a sufficient amount of information to get us started.
Everything else we'll learn as we go along.
As for what I plan on doing with this blog, I'm not sure.
A lot of blogs out there are showcases of photography and art work.
Sometimes their own work,
A lot of the time someone elses work.
I might do posts like that every now and then,
But I think I want a more personal blog.
And I definitely would like an interactive blog.
In other words, comments and links to your blogs are welcomed and encouraged.
Perhaps I'll end each post with a question?
Then you answer in a comment,
Or write about it in your blog and leave the link in a comment.
Hmm... yes.
I think that'll do.
So for today I would like you to tell me about yourself.
Even if I know you,
Which, lets be honest, I probably do.
Still.
Tell me about yourself.
Tell me about things you love, things you think, things you do.
Pictures are a great aid.
Just saying.
=)
Pip pip!
-Adriana
