Besides the junk, old post-it notes, a box of stale wheat thins, my planner, bio book, and food wrappers, I found a certain list I wrote.
Evil plans for team WEY:
1. Anchors (only to Mario + Luigi)
2. Stealing pears (sort-of lame, though)
3. "tuning" the violin (or should I say viola?)
4. Something with water balloons or tomatoes.
5. Messing up Mr. Frenchie Imposter's hair- a lot.
6. KICKING THEIR BUTTS AT GLOBALS!!!
7. Leaving Scott with them.
8. Saying random weird stuff to them ("I see dead people").
9. Doing that ghost thing ("If anyone's there, knock twice.")
10. Say we hear knocking and claim their room is haunted.
11. Make a long + complicated story up about the ghost.
12. Leave a walkie talkie and proceed to "haunt" room.
13. Three words; in my pants. (aka play that) ((corrupt them))
14. Pretend we don't speak English when they know we do.
15. Speak with a strange accent and claim all people from Buffalo do.
16. Insult them kindly! ("I hate when people wear yellow- oh but it looks nice on you!")
17. Oreos and toothpaste?
18. Cookies + cream cheese- creep them out.
19. Throw bananas at them- it worked for Harry.
20. Get David Wagner to stalk them.
21. Show them a pic of Madame.
22. Tell them Scott is really from Mars, but they don't have to worry because he doesn't eat brains as much as he used to.
23. Show off our amazing Clarence Orchestra pencils. Jealous much?
24. Talk non-stop hockey.
25. Pretend to love a sport called Lafootkey and convince them it's real.
26. Pretend you have an imaginary pet and talk to it all the time (Blinky).

When Summer Fades To Fall
Ah, summer. It's a wonderful thing to be off from school; too bad it has to end. With September quickly approaching, it's just about time to say goodbye to this beloved time of year. So I thought, why not share my summer in list form? Lists are my thing, dude.
1. Florida is hotter than people say it is.
2. I don't tolerate warm weather well.
3. Lizards are cooler than you'd think.
4. Komodo Dragons are so not worth the walking to see in Animal Kingdom. They're just really big lizards sitting there doing nothing. The tigers were worth it, though.
5. Disney is huge. Walking sucks.
6. Cheap hotels are cheap. You'd think being 15 minutes from Disney they'd give you the Disney channel. Losers.
7. When you grow up in a family where they let the kids run around doing whatever and no adult pays attention, it's cool until you're the teenager who is, for some strange reason, supposed to now watch and take care of said little kids. Then it totally sucks.
8. Not many people could survive attending a Persons' family party, let alone being part of the Persons family. It's an art that takes years of practice.
9. It's really strange when your relatives come up to you and start talking, then after they walk away you're wondering who they were.
10. Aunt Toni is unforgettable. We still cringe away when we see her, remembering when she used to kiss our cheeks. Ughhhh.
11. Seeing your grandfather drunk is really weird. Hearing your mom and uncle discussing it the next day, even weirder.
12. Airplanes are ear-killers, but worth it when you're pretty much completely certain Adam Mair was on your flight.
13. Food from the airport is awful. It doesn't matter if you're only getting a bagel with cream cheese and orange juice; still awful.
14. Parents don't understand that it's absolutely necessary to not only get something from Disney, but buy just about everything cool from Ron Jon's Surf shop. That includes a new skateboard (or four), a surfboard (who cares if I won't use it?), some shell necklaces, guys hoodies (come on, they were Quicksilver), amazing Hurley shirts, and just about everything else in the store.
15. You should be careful picking up shells; they might still have a crab inside.
16. It's completely unnecessary to have a hot tub in Florida.
17. Cockroaches are disgusting.
18. When parents make lame excuses, they expect you to go along with them and not point out the flaws.
19. When you point out the flaws in their lame excuse, they'll start saying something about how when you're older you can go do/get/see whatever it is.
20. If you plan on pretending to throw darts at characters from a book, wait for the series to be finished or you might regret it later.
21. Euro homework doesn't magically disappear, no matter how much you want it too.
22. Got Plague?
23. Midnight book parties are more fun when you actually participate in stuff instead of standing outside the building for an hour.
24. It sucks to read a book where the main character has your name and their life sucks. Especially when said character's adorable son named Tom dies.
25. Cullen Jones is just about the most freaking awesome name ever.
26. Thomas Cedward Jasper Wolfe is probably the most freaking awesome name ever, but it'd be cooler to have three kids and name them Thomas, Cedward, and Jasper.
27. It's not sad when you've listened to songs long enough to know all the lyrics, which band member sings them, and the instrumental bits. You just have a good memory.
28. Being a vegetarian or vegan is a good goal but really hard to complete when your dinner is "shut up and eat it."
29. Winnie the Pooh is messed up. Some characters have names (Eeyore, Winnie) and some are just called what animal they are (Rabbit, Owl).
30. When Disney has character peoples walking around the parks, they don't keep proper scale of character size. Not to mention Pluto shouldn't be standing on two legs.
31. Koreans are really good at archery.
32. You can learn important skills on TV. I'm practically qualified to fix screwed up dogs and kids now.
33. 99.99999% of the time when dogs or kids are screwed up, it's the parent/owner's fault.
34. It's easy to say you'll go running all summer, it's harder to keep it up.
35. Gilmore Girls is just about the most amazing show ever.
36. Oy with the poodles already is not only incredibly catchy, but really fun to say.
37. Kids these days have no imagination and are pretty much being set up to be idiots, spoiled brats, and, well, other bad stuff.
38. Those stupid reading pens that read for you don't help kids to learn. They're awful and should die. And the commercials are so... infuriating. It's like "hey, would you rather look at this book about your favorite TV shows and movies or this one about some boring subject?" NOT FAIR STUPID PEOPLE. There's so many good books out there kids could actually read and learn from.
39. People should read more for fun. Maybe they'd be smarter.
40. Laughing when you learned McFly turned the Jonas Brothers down when they asked McFly to write them a song is totally acceptable. As well as being relieved they did turn them down.
41. Miley Cyrus and/or Hannah Montana is not a good role model. She acts like a brat in her TV show, her songs are rubbish, and since when is having multiple personalities a good thing?
42. The guy on Cash Cab is quite similar to Shaw. It's nice to know he has a fallback if attempting to teach high school students to play instruments doesn't work out.
43. Adults generally do not understand that you need at least a week of doing nothing in the summer. It's called "relaxing."
44. Nor do parents understand sleeping in is perfectly acceptable.
45. TV shows are utter crap these days. What happened to things like Boy Meets World? Funny, teaching morals, all that good stuff. Nooo, now they just have shows with spoiled bratty girls as the main characters.
46. Sarcasm isn't just a skill; it's an art. Practically a language.
47. If you talk about something enough, you might get other people to like it. Or hate you.
48. Downloading music in a not-so-legal way is completely acceptable when that music has been released for free and the only reason you couldn't get it is because it was given away free in another country. It's totally not fair, too.
49. Teenagers generally have no taste in music and just go with what's mainstream.
50. It's sad when you can apply Murdered in the Mosh to way too many people you know. And ironic since they don't even know what I'm talking about.
51. There's a difference between knowing mainstream songs and liking them.
52. Artists who don't write their own songs are kinda pathetic.
53. Artists who don't play their own instruments, a little more pathetic.
54. Once you know the hidden meaning behind "cheese twists" you'll never be able to hear that phrase without laughing.
55. When people ask you why you like Jasper, you have to remember you can't punch them in the face and instead have to say something witty like "Why don't you like Jasper?"
56. Quil and Claire are absolutely adorable, if you think about it.
57. Bella is an awful character. Edward is just as awful. Perfection is so overrated.
58. F.P. is obviously pronounced differently by Canadians.
59. Going up the down escalator is extremely good exercise.
60. Having older siblings can ruin everything; you're expected to be the good one that doesn't dye your hair, get a tattoo, have piercings, or just plain misbehave in any way parents could find misbehaving.
61. Being obsessively green seems fun but slightly scary.
62. People should be put in jail if they don't recycle.
63. It sucks when wheat thins get stale. They're all not crunchy.
64. Ranting is really, really easy.
65. Seeing old pictures of yourself is almost cringe-worthy.
66. Seeing an old picture of yourself wearing a Spice Girls shirt is cringe-worthy.
67. Accidentally slapping someone when you're on a rollercoaster is hilarious.
68. Wearing a vintage dress is annoying. It gets really itchy and painful after a few hours.
69. You'd never guess who the real Harry Potter is.
70. "Fat giggles" is now a term that must be used in regular conversation daily.
71. McFly's new songs are amazing and Tom is reallyyyyyyy fit.
72. Simon Amstell is awesome, as well as hilarious. "Are you doing the press lady?"
73. The Twilight series was horribly written but quite addictive.
74. Jared is a character from Twilight... hahahahaha.
Okay, I'll stop there before I have over 100.
