Flappy Birds......... wha?

Ok so if you look at my most popular list right off to the right side of this post, you will see that I have a post called "Worst. Game. Ever." This post is all about the new game Flappy Birds.

I want to make something clear.

This post was meant to be complete BullShit!

I made THis for no real reason. I just wanted to make a total BS post about nothing! But now its my SECOND most popular post on my blog! WTF (why the face? (kudos to you if you get that)). It completely bumped "SWS Happiness" of the list!

Flappy Birds attracts more people than Sleeping with Sirens, Breath Carolina, Our Last Night, and Issues all together! NO!!! NOT OKAY!!!

Doc Martens!

A few weeks ago my mother ordered me a pair of Doc Martens online.

On friday the finally got here!

These lovely shoes appeared on friday! And I haven't stopped wearing them since.

I first discovered Doc Martens last fall, when my family went on a trip to Disney Land and my mother pointed out a girl wearing them. I thought they were super cool and so did my mother. My mom said she would get me some. I'm not really sure why, but instead we went for a different type of leather boot. Those boots were my present last Christmas.

They were beautiful. I loved those shoes. They were black boots that when up to my knee with big buckles on the sides and they zipped up on the other side so I could actually put them on. But the thing is, I walk funny. My feet bend inward, so I ruin most of the shoes I own. So those boots were soon trashed. I destroyed them. Because of this sadly they were thrown away when I got these new shoes.

So I have wanted to get Doc Martens for a long time. But I actually have my friend Courtney to thank for actually getting them. You see, a few weeks ago Courtney came over to my house. Courtney was wearing her snazzy white Doc Martens and my mother took notice.

Her thought process must have been something like this:

"Hmmm, didn't Amanda want those shoes at some point? Now her friends have them. Courtney's a cool person, I guess Doc Martens are cool now. I must get my daughter some so she too can be cool!"

And just like that it was decided. A few days later my shoes were ordered. It turns out that my friend Audrey also has these shoes. But her's are red.

Audrey's are on the top right and Courtney's top left.

So I am already planning to get more of these fantabulous shoes. The ones I have right now are matte leather and I want some funky shinny ones. The first ones I want to get are the hot pink ones.

I have nothing that would match this color -.-

Oh well

Then I want purple!

Snazzy

The problem is that these shoes are damn expensive. They are over hundred dollars in most cases and I just don't have that type of money, as described in my previous post "Why I am Awful With Money".

So I don't think I will be getting more of these any time soon.

Worst. Game. Ever.

Unless you have been living under a ROCK you will have heard of the terrible new app called Flappy Bird.

The game of pure evil. I'm obsessed. I constantly feel the need to play it. I also constantly need to beat my sister at the game. My record is 61, while hers is something in the 70's. >.<

This game is incredibly addicting. And incredibly frustrating. Even if I have a record of 61, which isn't bad, I still die before I even get past 5 pipes at times! I can't believe I haven't chucked my iPod across the room in rage yet. But for some reason the creator of this game has decided to take it off of the app store! Why?

So it is no longer available! ¿PORQUE? Why would you take down such a successful app?

But I can still play it. So I guess I'm gonna stay addicted -.-

Why I am Awful with Money

It's a well know fact that teens should never be trusted with money. But recently I have actually been making some.

I didn't get a job....... I watch Henry.....

Henry is a 60Lb hunk of pure boxer muscle.

And no..... I don't mean Henry Cooper, the british boxer:

I mean this boxer:

Yes, I have decided that dog sitting is the best job you can have. Henry's owner leaves town frequently for business and he lives right next door to me. So I get to go over to Henry's house (yes, it is Henry's home, he has complete control) and watch the giant TV that is there, take Henry for walks (which is actually good for me too cuz I never do anything), and feed him. Yep I just go over there and cuddle with him, do homework, and watch TV.

And then TA-DAH!!!

I have money!

I started watching Henry and some of the other neighborhood dogs last year. And I never spent any of the money I earned. Why? Because I had a goal.....

ANIME BANZAI

"What is this?" You ask. Well, my friend, I will not tell you in detail because you will be weirded out. But I will tell you that it is what all Otakús dream of. For this special trip I had to buy a costume, pay my share of a hotel room for three days, and pay the admittance fee for all three days. That came close $200 right there. But it was money well spent for three days of fun.

Now this isn't the bit I considered bad. The bit that I considered bad was that I brought another $200 for food and a few souvenirs. An important bit of information for this part of the story to make sense to you is that my mom bought me a shit ton of junk food for "snacks" over the long weekend. Then she sent me off with the mother of my friend. I saw said mother a total of twice the entire three days.

So the bit about using the money I brought to buy food went out the window entirely. I lived off of cookies, chips, and yogurt covered raisins for those three days.

I spent every last cent of money on anime merchandise........ I came home with nothing. I actually had three dollars left. But then I saw a bell with Hello Kitty in a Panda Hat.
.
.
.
I have a panda hat and hello kitty is the cutest thing to happen since the first baby panda bear was born.(Yes I am aware that when pandas are born they look like naked mole rats, picture them after a few weeks)
.
.
.
So I just had to have the bell.

And there it went. Four HUNDRED dollars that I spent a entire YEAR saving just vanished.

It has been three months since then and I have realized that I am able to get a lot more money a lot faster now that I have an established position as the neighborhood dog walker.

My next goal for saving is to go to Warped Tour. But that is not an expensive goal. I actually already have my ticket.

The goal is actually to waste around another $100 dollars on posters and T-shirts. But let me tell you something "If it makes you happy, then get it" Those are the words I live buy. So even though I know I will get home and my parents will be like "Look at all the shit you wasted money on!" or "You already have tons of shirts with your stupid bands on then!"
I will still buy all the things.
I am also currently saving for Banzai again.
But because both these things are so far away, and because I am a child who does not have to worry about bills and food and other such things, I am currently spending money on completely irrelevant things.
