HaHa, his nickname’s crap. lOfL Laugh out Freakin Loud!
I have noticed things, many things. And one of those things is that if you like something, say art, and then you take a class for it, you most likely don’t like it as much after. Someone very smart once said(although I have no freakin clue who said it and frankly I don’t give a crap) “Ignorance is Bliss.”

You know how there are technical terms for fears, like uh claustrophia? Well I was bored so I decided to get on the computer and look some up. And you know what’s hilarious? The fear of long words is called HIPPOPOTOMONSTROSESQUIPPEDALIOPHOBIA. I mean seriously dude! I guess people can’t tell them what’s wrong with them or they’d like spazz out or something. Anyone else think that’s kinda hypocritical?
Yeah it’s like your at a phsyciatrist and they are like, “Oh so youre a -long word here-.” and the person goes insane
HaHa, I imagine the person jumping out a second story window as the psychiatrist says it and then the psychiatrist is all “crap there goes another client.”
Hahaha, i could see that.
Doc- Bran-la, you have Hjahsvfjehutbjcbawyeigwygeidx Gjasjwfdb
Bran-la- *drools*
Doc- Uh, Bran-la?
Bran-la- I got what?
Doc- You got Hnhahsbeheudbdfjhtje Gjmshjenrjxkjd
Bran-la- I got Hairy Goober disease?
Doc- NO!!! You have Hajjajrbhejhebje Gosndsjejjend
Bran-la- Hyphen Gage disease?
Dac- Just go home!
Bran-la- Fine, ill find some other way to live with my House Garage diesease ok!

I found this website. The Phobia list. Its like “Fear of cats” “Fear of bathwater or taking baths” “fear of darkness” “fear of itching”? It was like thousands of stuff, that was only the first like, 6 that i read, its from A-Z.
– “Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.”
-“Atelophobia- Fear of imperfection.”
-“Aurophobia- Fear of gold.”
-“Auroraphobia- Fear of Northern lights.”
-” Aviophobia or Aviatophobia- Fear of flying.” (i have this)
-” Barophobia- Fear of gravity.” (hahahaha)
-” Chrometophobia or Chrematophobia- Fear of money.” (what the heck?)
-” Cyclophobia- Fear of bicycles.” (uhhhhh)
-” Dromophobia- Fear of crossing streets.”
-” Epistemophobia- Fear of knowledge.” (how scary!!)
-” Ephebiphobia- Fear of teenagers.” (my mom requested this one)
And these where only a handful of the mellions of funny ones. From
http://www.phobialist.com/
Francophobia- Fear of France or French culture. (Gallophobia, Galiophobia) srry this ones is just SOOOO funny!
haha that website is on my favs
i confuzzle my friends by telling them what phobias they may or may not have
I put some of them on my aim profile! hahaha
Ankylophobia- Fear of immobility of a joint.
i have this
it freaks me out if i cant move my joints
when i was lil my cuz said that if i keeped my legs straight and knees locked for 5 minutes i wouldnt be able to move them so ever since then i was always afraid id be unable to move my joints
My friend when she stands she automatically locks her legs. It’s kind of wierd.
I love Superman/Tom Welling!!!!
I heard Uglies is going to be a movie is that true? Well I still think it should be!
Yeah that’s the site I found it on and it’s H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S!
I have atychiphobia-fear of failure.
I’m about to go into a major writing coma, no telling when I’ll snap back into reality.
i have that fear too TZ. i probably have atelophobia-fear of imperfections too. and the fear of letting other people down… if there is one.
i wonder if there is a fear of drawing tigers. no actually i’m not really afraid of drawing tigers. i’m more afraid of what my teacher will say about my “tiger” because it doesn’t exactly look like one. lol.
ughh.. dang tiger.
Yeah, it’s weird though because I can handle failure once it actually happens, like I can deal with it. But I can’t stand the feeling I get when I know I’m not going to make it or that I’m going to mess up and let someone down.
yeah exactly. feeling like you have to be perfect all the time sucks! and i kinda have that feeling right now because of finals and art. cuz all my classes i have A’s but in art i have an 84 which isn’t exactly good enough for my standards or my parents. hopefully it’ll go up once she grades my sketchbook. i feel like i’m on a rollercoaster though because my grade in their keeps going up and down. first it was a 97 then i missed a week of school and it went all the way down to a 68 and then i turned in a bunch of stuff and it went up to a 93 then the next day it was back down to a 78 and now it’s up to an 84. but i can’t take all these up’s where i feel like i’m gonna be okay and then suddenly the floor just drops from underneath me and my grade is back down to lower than i want it. (and i haven’t gotten anything but A’s since the first quarter of 6th grade when i got a B+ in s.s. but now it’s like a whole new level of pressure because colleges are going to be looking at these grades.) ughh.. too much stress. but at least i can sleep now. (12:40 a.m. where i am.) goodnight.
I think after my french class today, I definately has francophobia. srsly, this guy asks the teacher “can i pleaze go to the bathroom”, and Madame Harris said no. So the guy squirts water from his drinkbottle all over his trousers, and then he goes “miss, miss, I had an accident!” we were all cracking up laughing, and Madame Harris said some bad words in French. so yes…
OMG that is so hilarious!!!:)
I wish I had your French class. If someone did that in my class the teacher would just about faint. She’s too old to have a sense of humer about anything.
Yay I’ve read 86 authors on the list. I feel so special now.

I suck in math. I ca never have an A in that class. I’m either failing it or really close to failing it. im hoping this project we have will allow me to do better on my grade but with all the test i have gotten back lately…….im not so sure!
I do okay in math, I have an A and it’s 2 levels higher than most kids my age
I never took 7th grade math…very odd…
I use that phobia list to find tridecalogisms
I have 100% exactly in math. but i’m in the regular math class which is really lame cuz i’m the smartest one in there and i have to wait for everyone else to understand it. suckish much.
today was really very interesting. it started off like usual. but then my art teacher was all nice to me. it was weird. and she kept telling me how much she loved my mixed media project. which again is odd. cuz usually she hates everything i do. and then i went to spanish and we played this review game for finals and i was up against this *insert bad word here* who went all phsyco on me. she like flipped out cuz i had my answer before she did and mine was right and her’s wasn’t. and she still thought the point was hers. and she got all sassy and was yellin and the teacher told her to stop the sasafras then she proceded to call me sassy and stuff then sat down and called me a *insert bad word here.* it was weird. the whole class was just like wow. it’s a stupid game. get over yourself. and she had to stay after class so the teacher could talk to her. lol. then later in math i was playin with my necklace and this girl told me i had a bruse on my chest and i couldn’t see and then the guy i like came over and he stood there staring at my chest for like a minute and then his friend came over and did the same and i was just like stop staring at my chest. ughh… it was incredibly awkward. and it turned out that the necklace i had on had black paint on the back that wore off onto my chest. it’s been a weird day.
so how did everyone else’s day go?
happy st. patty’s day, evry1!!
yea, we have a lot of irish in us….heehee….
oooo another good one: averylongandconfusingword-fear of school….. 😆
k, so i was painting my nails green in my room this morning, and so i went down and mom was like “u were doing work up there, right?” and i was like “ummm…..no” and she was like “what were u doing up there?” and i was like “ummmm makimg myself green” and yea.
last year i got all A’s, so i was on first honers all 4 quarters….so yea……………………………………………
gtg……….
Is Scott even DOING Blogfest? It doesn’t look as if he’s made any posts and it’s already day four…
lol kay-wa. awwwkward day hehe. I hate when people flip out over completely pointless stuff like that. makes me want to punch them or something. though i cant really do that in school, unless i want to get expelled..hmm..
i gotten all A’s since the first quarter in sixth grade, so I’ve got pretty high expectations too. *sigh*
My day has been rather boring though, as were on spring break, so i slept half the day and pretty much read the other half. lol.
I too, Topaz am still awaiting Scotts post. Maybe he’s waiting till the end and will put up one post with all the questions aswered. That would be Fawesome. 😀
omgsh sleeping half the day reading the other half sounds amazing. i wish i could do that. lucky you.
and yeah high expectations aren’t too fun. actually they pretty much suck.
teeth=dreadful pain.
well sadly my homework won’t do itself. laters.
oh yeah and Scott-la if your reading this please go post on blogfest. please. i wants your advice on surviving highschool.
This ends on my birthday. Oh woww.

Spring Break is so close. I thin i mugkht die if it dosn’t hurry here!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not very patient!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Superman/Tom Welling!!!!
So…When are you gonna put an answer Scott?
St Patricks Day is a tridecalogism 😀
I don’t think that he answers us. He might post it someday.
I love Superman/Tom Welling!!!!
i’m with ya on that Regan. Spring break can hurry up and get here. i’m so close to the end of art i can taste it! lol. one more class. that’s 1 hour and 30 minutes more. 😀 *does happy dance* hehe.
I JUST REGISTERED FOR HIGHSCHOOL!!!!!! Holy crap that sentence is weird coming from me. I am excited/nervous/anxious/totally freaked out/freakin scared. Yep yep yep.
hola cherry cola
im bored
Me toooooooooooo…
lol. go TZ!! you should be. haha. jk. jk. it’s okay. like times like finals week are awful. like now. now is awful for me. but after finals week it gets better. like a whole fresh new start. and it’s actually not that scary. i thought it would be. i thought i would get lost and older kids would boss me around but it turns out the older kids just don’t care about you or they want to be your friend. nothing inbetween. or at least i don’t think so. okay well back to studying…. 🙁
i should prolly do homework but math seems SO unappeling right now
aahhh i forgot darn i have a math test tomorrow
I has a french test tomorrow. and a science test on thursday. and a maths test on thursday. 😥
😥 sniff, i just know im going to fail… 😥
and actually, I don’t care. cuz if I did, I’d be studying, not sitting here at the computer 😆
I am in tennesse! I arrived yesterday night. It is nothing like my city! Anyone live in Tennesse?
so Bran-la ya liking it? is it as bad as you thought it would be? and no, i don’t live or have ever been to TN. i’m going this summer though, hopefully.. cuz i’m suppose to go riverrafting with a bunch of my friends. but band camp is at the same time our trip is planned for. so i don’t really no yet.
guess what! i got 105% on my u.s. history final!! 😀 😀 can you tell… me is happy. but i don’t know how well i did on my art final yet. and probably won’t find out until at least next monday. but my mixed media project is gonna be in the art show. so that’s happy. and the happiest thing of them all: NO MORE ART!!!!! 😀 😀 😀
well one more day of testing and it will officially be spring break!
THIS IS AWSOME!
I only got one B( and it was a B+)
that was in science and NOBODY has ever gotten an A in our mental science teacher’s class
My math teacher says that I will make it into Algebra 2 (I’ve already taken half the course so I’m not surprised)
