oh hello

I understand we haven't spoken in a while. That is because I have been off writing a research paper, redoing my room and generally avoiding accountability. But anyway.. tomorrow is Mardi Gras! WOOOO GO CRAZYY! Which means that Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, which means my mother will most likely drag me to a 2 hour long mass that is only supposed to be 15 minutes like last year. This means Lent is starting on Wednesday as well. Lauren and I thought for a while about a good thing to give up. We decided that we were going to give up being mean. After a few days we realized that this would not be possible, and instead of failing midway through, we went off on our own to pick our own things to give up.
I decided I was going to give up websites that make me unproductive and eat up hours of my precious young life that I will never get back. I know you are all thinking facebook, but I really don't see the point of not going on this website, because I would just think about it all the time and then finally freak out and check it, or countdown the days until Sunday until I could go on. Now, I'm not saying that I am addicted to facebook, because I have gone entire vacations without even thinking about facebook (and really not missing much), but I just really don't want to give it up. I don't feel the need to explain myself to you, blog reader, and I really don't think you care anyway.
But back to what I am actually giving up. There is this annoying website, where you essentially dress-up these little dolls. And for some reason I have been addicted to it since I was a little kid, before lifetime bought it and it was still in korean. It is kind of relaxing, but it is useless and takes up me time. So that is definitely going away. Now onto the pure evil website that is currently the bane of my entire existence: stumbleupon.

Now I know what it feels like to be an addict

If you ever want to eat up an entire afternoon, please, feel free to hop onto this website. It will take over your life. It will take you to websites like http://www.cracked.com/ (which has kindly provided that picture and is not a drug reference) and you will go from article to article and you can't resist reading the next one and the next one because they are all so alluring. (FYI I put that link in there to test your will power DO NOT CLICK THAT LINK!!) Stumbleupon is addicting, I want to kick it so bad, so I'm thinking that the wrath of God is good motivation to stop going on it every 5 seconds. Plus I haven't given something up for lent in like, ever, so now is probably a good time to start? I mean it might bring me cute pictures like this 

SO CUTE LITTLE MOUSE!!



 But it is preventing me from reading for my history test, which is BAD! I will keep you updated on how this goes. It will be interesting.

Cheers,

Cayla

p.s. found this too, hilarious stuff!

p.p.s What did I just tell you? Do not go to that website, what is wrong with you?

UPDATE: It is day 1 and I have nothing else to do. I came home, held Apolo, watched Freedom Writers and edited my research paper. Then I came downstairs and typed up all my edits for my paper and made a title page. Then I checked for Spanish homework (which I never do). Now I have nothing else to do and it is only 7:20. I guess I will go take a shower and read....
