This poor genie is going to have a complex! :) I think it's time for a new subject (and since I think that, everybody should follow suit, of course): Life is so much more beautiful when it's NOT 5:30AM!!!! I've been trying to determine over the past few years if I am a night person or a morning person. Seems like an easy determination, doesn't it? Well, those of you who know me well know that I'm not so good at the whole 'making-decisions' thing. You also know that I am an obsessive list-maker. (I make lists of things I've already done, just so I can cross them off and feel productive! Isn't that sad?) So here's my list:

Reasons Amanda might be a morning person:
1. IF I get my butt outa bed before 9 am, I don't experience that morning grogginess that I see in a lot of my friends and family.
2. Once again IF I get up, I do the have the ability to get lots of things done and within that first hour or two, and then I feel mega-productive (go me!)
3. Even if I try, it's an extremely rare occasion that I would sleep past 9:30 or 10.

Reasons Amanda might be a night person:
1. I really do come alive at 7pm. That is, of course, if I didn't get up 2 hours before daylight that morning.
2. I can be working on a project or reading a book and have no problem working/reading until 4am. The problem comes when I have to get up early the next morning. But as for that night...just call me energizer bunny.
3. If I have to get up early in the morning, it's not a simple "go to bed one hour earlier to get up one hour earlier." It's more like, "go to bed at least 2 hours earlier to make up that pathetic one hour in the morning when it's dark and dreary and who wants to get up at that time, anyway!!!!"

What is the point of this ranting on and on on Jesse's blog? Well, the exciting part is that I've finally realized that I am DEFINITELY (spelled with an 'i', not an 'a'...sorry I had to say it) a night person! So, this morning when I woke up to the sun shining in my window, I realized how beautifully, amazingly wonderful that is! So....
HOORAY FOR NOT WAKING UP AT 5AM!!!

Here comes the new discussion part: How about you? Are you a night owl or an early bird?
(And if you're annoyed at me because you've read this whole entry and think it's totally lame and competely rude of me to have taken up so much space...sorry,....kinda)

can i just tell you all that everything here in England is soooooo FREAKIN expensive!!! AHHHH!!!

I guess just this once, kairsie. It'll disappear soon, and if i end up hating it, i'll delete it ;) be discerning though!

"i just would like to make it known to all you random=good http://swyftx2.blogspot.com/ people that i wanna be apart of that business as well.... i mean i wanna fight about the genie"- Shauna

Kairsie's site

Kairsie, the new background is BEAUTIFUL. I love it. You still need to get rid of the prostitu....uhm... genie though.

*stretches truth*

Kairsie: "But seriously that's what genie's wear"

oh really? when's the last time you've MET a genie? I used to be a genie, and that's DEFINITELY not what I wore. So how can you say you know, huh?

ok seriously guys this is obsurd. It's a DOLL! a cartoon! And i personaly see nothing wrong with bikinis. But seriously that's what genie's wear, and it doesn't make her a "skank girl" And i'm sorry but i'm not that strict on dress apparel. ::shrugs:: i've just never really been convicted of it. there's a time and place where it certainly is not appropriate but a little cartoon on a blog as far as i can see doesn't hurt anyone

I vote for calling the Genie "Shorty B. Ho," the 3 most common dysphemisms for "woman" in the hip-hop language.

(Now... you may be asking yourself... what the freakin' heck is a dysphemism? Well, look no further my friend. Your search can end here. You also may be asking yourself what Shorty's middle name is. You'll just have to figure that out for yourself. This is a PG rated blog.)

Kelly and I had this talk already and I am *NOT* taking the genie off. I like her, and so what if her tummy shows? It's nothing worse than wearing a bikini.

Oh, and Kairsie, your blog is much more... anti-seizure causing now... good job..

Now if only we could do something about that genie.....

Good job for clearing that up Jon... I THOUGHT you had more sense than to sicken a baby... hmm... i don't think that worked, but oh well... I'm sad that I have to miss so much quizzing... I think I might get to see one night, though, so that's cool!
