Made in China
Well, a while ago I was looking at the foot thing for my drums and I see a sticker that said "made in china". Seeing as I'm desparate for something to think and type about, I thought about it. And thinking about it got me to thinking...who makes the made in china stickers? I mean, can you imagine being the people who make those? Hopefully the sticker-makers are actually chinese. I'd hate to see some American guy at a sticker station making "Made in China" stickers. I'd be tempted to change it to "Made in China - Sticker made in USA". Maybe even "Made in China - Sticker made in USA, but the sticker-maker is Canadian". Now that would be fun.
But of course, some Made-in-China things aren't even stickers. They're like, indented in the back of Buzz Lightyear's knee. Really, are they even needed? We all know everything is made in China, so they don't have to rub it in. The USA doesn't put "Made in USA" on everything do they? Well, actually...yes they do. Canadians do too, actually. But at least we have an excuse to proclaim our made-in-our-own-country-ness. You rarely see anything that's made in Canada that doesn't have some sort of Canadian meaning to it, like Mapel Syrup or that Canadian puzzle you got at the garage sale next door. The one with snow, of course. I wonder what it would be like in another country to see one that's made in Canada. "Wow, this one's made up north! Last time I saw one of these was when I bought that igloo kit!"
Now, I have nothing against the Chinese, but they have to stop printing their name on everything. You see, now the whole world makes fun of them for it. "This place makes everything." "China!" Or you see one guy on the news who's chinese and you think how overworked he is, 'cause he alone obviously made all your stuff.
Also, why in the world would we buy their stuff anyway? I mean, when you say dig to china, there's a reason for that. It's probably a lot faster to dig than to go all the way around the earth. And you could easily just drop the stuff in the hole and it'd fall right through to the other side. Sure there's the part where it melts, but that's ok. Er, the point is, China's a long way away. We can make our own dolls, can't we? It's not that hard when you get the hang of it. Not that I would know, of course... *nevous laugh*

Politics
Well! Since I lack a better subject, and all you people out there DIDN'T GIVE ME ONE (except for Elias I think), I'm choosing this one. Lets get talking about politics.
Well, uh...I'd like the conservatives to win, not the liberals. Although I admit, orange is a nice colour. Conservatives also have a nice name, I suppose. Oh! I forgot the marijuana party! I can't wait until I'm old enough to vote. They could use a few supporters. David also pointed out there's a communist party. They could be fun.
...ok, uh, so much for that. I guess I'm not into politics. Well, the weather's been pretty nice lately. Very warm for January. Just perfect for taking down a building. Yea, today they were taking down the barn next to the church, and moving all the stuff from the old half of the church out, 'cause they're knocking it down in like, two weeks or something, and this sentence is really long, I think they call them run-on sentences or something. So then we'll only have half a church until they build it again. Yay. Of course, that also means the kids have no more classrooms, and that the pastors have to move their offices to another church. But hey, it's all good.

best blonde joke ever
Oh wow. I don't usually post meaningless blog posts, like really, I never post anything that isn't random and pointless, but this one's worth it.
This is definately the best blonde joke ever.
Have fun!

Ah, good ol' randomness...
Well, not much has been going on since I last posted. Like, really. Life gets really boring. School, school, school, school, school, sleep, church. I need a job or something. But then it would be even more boring. Ah well, I'll stop complaining about by (lack of) life.
...
Oh wow. There's really no point to a blog without complaining. So I guess you'll have to listen to me complain.
...
Ok, so I already did that. Well, tomorrow I'm going to a fancy homeschool highschool highday (homeschool + highday = highschool) thing. We're all meeting at a family's house and doing stuff. It should be pretty fun. It's supposed to be an event to bring the highschoolers together outside highday. The new girl's gonna be there too. We say she's bold.
Oh man, ran out of things to say again. Hmm. Hey, I know! Somebody give me a random topic to talk about. And, um...I'll talk about it. 'Cause I can't think of anything.
Wow, I could just keep going on and on, talking about nothing...
- Chris
Haha, fooled you. I'm not done yet. Ok, ok...I'm done now.

The gloom has returned...
Alas, as the title suggests, the gloom has returned. After all these sunny days, through all the relaxation, the gloom of suffering has settled once again on our fair town. Yes, my friends, monday has rolled in once more. But this is no ordanary monday. No, this is the one monday after the Christmas holidays. School has returned.
DUH NUH NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH!!! *cough*
Anyway, yea, um...school's back. I'm writing this on my "lunch break", but we all know I won't really be doing much more today. So far this morning wasn't too bad. I rolled out of bed just minutes before 9:00, which was cool. Then I remembered I hadn't eaten breakfast while sleeping. Oh well, I could start late. Already I have a math assignment due on thursday, so I'm gonna have to work at that. Like, now. Yeah.
But of course, I'm only one of millions complaining, so you're probably sick of it all. So I'll shut up about school and talk about my vacation. Well, uh...I didn't do much. But sleeping in was nice. Last week we had drop ins for the junior high at out church, and the seniour high helped out. 1 JH came. 20 SH helped. Yea, it kinda turned into a SH event. But oh well, it was fun anyway. Now, on wednesday night we had an all-nighter with like, 5 churches. That was fun. The tiredness kicked in at about, oh...3:00 or so. But I managed to stay up all night. We were at laser tag for 3 hours (not playing the whole time), which was fun.
Anyway, that's about it. I guess I'll go do my school now...
