I can't fucking believe that fucking Paris Hilton is out of jail due to a fucking "medical condition" (my ass) and now she's under fucking house arrest. Boo fucking hoo, Paris, cry me a river. I think the little bitch should have to do communinty service instead. Or they should have just dumped her ass on some remote island with just a few essentials. HATE. HER!!

Now to the point of my post. Recently I've been re-reading some of the Baby-Sitter's Club I acquired from e-bay a few years ago. (When I was a pre-teen I LOVED those books, but my mom made me give them to Good Will when I got to old for them). Yesterday I read #44, Dawn and the Big Sleepover and this book seriously bugged me for several reasons.

The plot of the story is that Stoneybrook Elementary School (SES) is doing a pen pal program with these kids in New Mexico. They learn that their (the New Mexicans') school burns down, so Dawn comes up with this idea to have the kids donate food and clothing and collect money to send to the school and families in NM. As a reward for helping out, the kids will get to spend the night in the SES gym and have a big sleepover, hence the title. The kids (2nd-5th graders) will eat pizza and play really lame games like Red Rover and Mother May I and get read to by the teachers and all seven BSC members who pitch in and help out. :::rolls eyes::: Am I the only one who think that sounds incredibly boring and not fun at all? I would NOT want to spend the night in my elementary school! I was an extremely shy kid, so being around that many people overnight would not be very fun for me! (Although my girl scout troop got to spend the night in the mall once, but that was fun because we got to go shopping and see a movie at midnight). I mean, the reward is so fucking lame. Why don't they organize a trip to an amusement park (they could get some of the kids' parents to help chaperone)? That would be way more fun than some stupid, lame sleepover.

Mary Anne is in charge of the music and she brings RAFFI! WTF? I remember listening to his music when I was five. By the time I was in elementary school I was listening to Madonna, Michael Jackson, Tiffany, you know the usual '80s stuff!

All the BSC members are invited to go to SES to tell them about their plan, but Dawn is the only one who talks. I don't see why Kristy AND Claudia AND Mary Anne AND Stacey AND Mallory AND Jessi had to go there to when all they did was just sit there.

ETA: Thank God her skank hoe ass is back in jail! Whooo!

Please go take my quiz!

Which BSC member are you?

Every other day I keep checking to see if UJournal is back up...and alas, it's not. They should call it FUJournal! Grrr! I'm so pissed that I lost all those entries! I should have gotten a LJ in the first place. But I think back then you had to pay for it or get some stupid code and I didn't know anybody who could give me a code.

The other day in the mail I got the Baby-Sittes Club book I had ordered from E-bay: Super Special #6 New York, New York! (After I went to NYC I wanted to read it again, LOL). I'm alost done with it (I could have easily read it in a couple of hours....but I've also been busy with work and watching the Olympics!) and it's pretty bad. All the sub-plots just seem really lame. And I forgot about the word "chilly." In BSC world it means cool. God, that is the stupidest word ever! They actually say, "Oh, chilly!" The BSC are so lame. I forgot how much I hated Dawn. She is so fucking stupid. Plus she's a bitch. Let me explain why she's stupid: Okay, so she's afraid of the city (baby!) so she just spends all day in Mr. McGill's apartment just cleaning it. :::rolls eyes:::: So this boy who lives downstairs comes over cuz he's bored and wants to hang out. He broke his ankle and he's on crutches, so he really can't do anything. He tells Dawn that he's going to get a walking cast soon. This is like on Monday. Then the next day he tells her they should go out exploring the city tomorrow and she says "How are you going to get around with your crutches?" Stupid dumbass. Even I knew he was gonna get a walking cast. He just told her that yesterday!! But all he said was he had a surprise and sure enough he shows up with a walking cast. Okay, this is why she's a bitch: they're out walking around 5th Avenue and he says he has a surprise for her and takes her to Godiva to get her some chocolate. And she's disappointed because the bitch doesn't eat chocolate. (Cuz you know, she's from Califoria where EVERYBODY is blonde and EVERYBODY eats healthy food and EVERYBODY surfs). I FUCKING HATE DAWN!!!!! I hate Mallory too. She's so fucking lame and just tries to hard to be cool. At least she isn't a bitch. :::sigh:: I really shouldn't get myself worked up over some stupid BSC book.

I also got the disc of NYC photos from Emily. I can't believe she's going to Bolivia for two years to work in the Peace Corps. That's like....scary. She even wrote a little note to me and in it she wrote "I am looking forward to the travel in South Ameriica, let me know if yhou want to scope it out with me!" Okay...is she inviting me to join her? I mean, that's nice of her but I just seem like an odd choice since we're really not that close anymore (I'm sure she has other friends from her schools that she's closer to) plus I don't think Bolivia is a place I'd want to visit. Plus I don't have any money. Oh, well, maybe she was just being polite!

Both the US men and women's gymnatics team won the silver. I think that's pretty good, espeically for the women since the Romanains won the gold and they're just way too good. Svetlana Khorkina looks like a skelton, but there's something oddly intriguing about her. She seems to have mellowed out since Sydney when she was pissed they won the silver. But she seemed quite happy with the bronze this time. Now bring out the individuals! I hope Romania doesnt' sweep that because that would be boring and non exciting!

I'll tell you something that wasn't non exciting though: that 4 x 200 race tonight! What a race! Michael Phelps started it out for the Americans and Grant Hackett started it out for the Aussies. At first all the countries were about in the same distance...then when they go to the second American and Austalian swimmers, they had distanced themselves from the other countries (which included the UK, Canada, France, Germany and Greece from what I can remember) by quite a considerable distance! The third American guy was about a second ahead of the third Aussie guy, then Klete Keller was the last to go for the Americans and Ian Thorpe was the last go to for the Aussies. This is when it got really exicting. I was a little nervous because as good as a swimmer he is, Klete's only won bronze and Thorpe is the fucking Thorpeo, y'all..he was their secret weapon..he's won countless golds! Now he easily caught up to Klete...but it wasn't enough! The Americans won...but just barely! They won by like a tenth of a second. It was thisclose. The Aussies really gave the Americans a run for their money. It was such an exciting race! The Italians came in third. And the best part? I was unspoiled! So I had no idea who was gonna win. Unlike the other day when I found out Thorpe beat Phelps. Grrr! Stupid computer!
