Tornados in January

    Hey look! It's New Years Eve again. How about that. It always seems to happen right about now, you know? Weird. Anyways, 2010 is almost over and I am not looking forward to my first week back at school. It's always annoying when you get the month or date wrong on your paper but I was usually always right with the year. Now I'm going to be all screwed up! And you can't even gracefully turn a 10 into an 11. It just.doesn't.work. But hey, this is the year I'll get my learner's permit so it can't be all bad. Unless I crash our car...

    My mom had the news on when I came upstairs this morning and we are having tornados across Missouri, Arkansas, and Illinois! Tornados in January! I didn't quite think it was tornado season but...that was just thunder. It is thundering now. This is ridiculous. I can walk outside without needing a heavy jacket on. This is just going to confuse all the middle school girls into wearing shorts again.

    This is sort of weird to think about. The new year has already started in places! I'd better get off since tornado sirens are going off. Smile at a trucker!
   

A Day of YouTube and B’s

    Well, I tried to do this last night but my computer sort of went wacky so let’s just say…it didn’t happen. Do you like the background I picked out for however long it takes me to get sick of it? I thought it was pretty cool, who doesn’t like telephone booths? We’ll see how long this one lasts.

    My B key on my laptop is really driving me crazy! It’s come loose somehow and is sort of trying to escape. The thing is, I sort of need that key in order to be able to type my complete alphabet. a_cdefg just doesn’t work for me. It’s an important letter! We wouldn’t have bellhops or balloons without it! I think we’d manage without the B on my keyboard but if it didn’t exist period….I wouldn’t even want to consider the prospect.

    Oh, I forgot to tell you! Guess which blog other recently set up a YouTube account to post fun stuff on? Take a wild guess, I dare you! Alright, I’ll tell you. It was me! You can check me out at here:   http://www.youtube.com/user/Pineappleexplosionto?feature=mhum It’s not all that interesting yet since I set it up last night with my cat sitting on my leg but I’ll post cool things there. Or just random things I thought were fun, who knows.

    Well, come on back tomorrow for more random babblings courtesy of yours truly! No promises anything new will be up tomorrow but you can still come and pine for me to post something. I won’t even mind your loitering! Keep your snack foods close but your vegetables closer, you never know when they’ll turn on you!

Happy Christmas

    Merry Christmas all you faithful blog readers reading this today! I hope your day was filled with joy and laughter and happiness and...other sappy emotions that I'm not going to list off since it would take too long. My present giving/recieveing was very successful. Probably one of the best presents I got was my brand spankin new laptop! Yep, pretty fancy. It's made for video making and music and stuff so I'll be able to make you guys all kinds of fun new things to watch.

    I feel like I do a lot of talking about myself here at Pineapple Explosion. I know for a fact I am not the most interesting person in the world (I know I'm not, Chuck Norris is still alive) so I will make it a new year's resolution of mine to try and find more interesting things to write about...other than myself.

    Like this: on TV right now is a raccoon that has a jar stuck on his head. The exterminator guys that were trying to save him pulled it off then he got it back on again! Silly raccoon! I will say, it did look pretty funny with a plastic jar stuck onto it's face. Hope it doesn't go search through trash cans at a peanut butter making/packaging facility....

    And that's about it! I see a pattern forming in my posting, about four paragraphs per post. At least I'm sort of predictable. Leave your boots inside on a rainy day unless you're looking for a new, not so see through goldfish bowl.

A Pineapple Explosion!

    Happy Christmas Eve to all that celebrate Christmas tommorow! Looks like we're going to have a white Christmas here in good old Missouri. First time in a while. We never seem to get snow until January or February. But it has been coming down pretty good since about six this morning. I got up and was totally blinded looking out my window. Yeah, whatever you say New Channel 4! We didn't get a drop of anything until one o'clock. ;  )

    So, last night I was sent a link by the amazing Elise _______ (See previous post "For Elise...") of an actual, legit pineapple explosion. I'm trying to work on getting my own exploding pineapple, or putting this video on loop on here somehow, but I don't think that will happen very soon. But, for your viewing please I have put that video onto this post so you can see what one would look like. Avert your eyes to the box below....

    It made my Dad laugh a lot so I guess that counts for something. If anyone reading this by chance finds a cool video, picture, collage, ect. ect. of a pineapple and explosion please send it to me! Just post it in the comments of this post or if you know me some other way contact me there.

    I should probably go spend some time with my family due to the upcoming holiday and such. Happy Christmas, Merry Kwanza (what is Kwanza by the way? I was discussing this with friends that other day), and good Hanuaka to you! Drink lots of eggnog! 

Time Zones!

    Late post, right? It's almost eleven o'clock here, almost midnight in the Eastern time zone, about ten in Mountain time, and narrowing in on nine in Pacific time. Why did I just list off the times in different time zones of the United States? Becuase my parents and I were struggling to remember the other day and I wanted to show off my recently remembered knowledge of times across the nation.

    Anyways, I'm sort of listening to a Science Channel show on the achievements of Christmas and it's getting pretty ridiculous. This show just told me that "Christmas Will Save the Planet!". If you were wondering, Christmas created the artificial heart, discovered the solar system, colonized the new world, and a few others. I think we have passed the point of ridiculousness long ago. I'm still waiting for them to announce "CHRISTMAS SINGLE HANDEDLY CREATED THE UNIVERSE". Who knew how talented Christmas was!

    On an unrelated note, British accents are amazing. I wish I had one. But then I wouldn't realize I had one and would possibly want another one because it would be too normal. Well...I can do a pretty good British accent so I'll have to settle for that. At least, I think it's pretty good. I'm tutoring one my best friend Kaley (not my cousin Kaley Porter but the Missouri one) since she sounds like a sometimes British often Irish pirate with a little Canadian thrown in. She's very talented. ; )

    My eyes are sort of getting tired at this point and I'm not wearing my glasses (ooOOOOOH!) so I should get off. (Don't tell my mom!) Always be aware of your pants when open flames are around.
   

I've learned the True Meaning of Cold...

    What's better than having a head cold? Having a head cold during musical season. For any of you that didn't hear, I am playing th epart of Benny Southstreet in our school's production of Guys and Dolls Jr. Today we had a reherseal and I sort of sounded like a dying cat singing my solo. Then I coughed through the next half of the song. Sorry to you that had solos that I hacked all over. I promise I won't when it comes to the real thing...hopefully. ; )

    On a lighter note, I am presently watching Beauty and the Beast for the first time in years! Oh, I love the classic Disney movies. Especially Alladin. I'd have to say Alladin is the Disney equivalent to an action movie. I mean, there's jumping off of building and towers being thrown to the ends of the earth by massive geneies! I think I may have just mutilated the word genie...geanie, geenie? I think it's genie. Anyways, what's your favorite Disney film? Gott be a classic! Vote in my poll convienetly located to your right. --->

    Well, this was an awfully short post today but better than nothing! Maybe it just looks short on this writing page. Anyways, keep your keyboards close but your mouse closer, they're honary little buggers.

Readers Abroad

    I was exploring the tabs of Blogger today and discovered the several features of "Stats". I was insanley surprised to find out that I have had readers on other continents! So, if you are reading this from somewhere other than North America (Or, if you're reading it somewhere other than the United States I suppose) hi! I bet you were expecting me to say something cooler than that but I didn't.

    Just to let you know, I did have a snow day today and I was not playing hookey. It was a nice break from the regular school week, especially with finals coming up next week/tommorow. Sleeping in was pretty great as well. Best of all I only had a mild freak out when I woke up not at school! Usually it's full out heart-attack, why didn't my alarm go off and why didn't mom's go off? Was there a sudden electronic take-over in the night and our alarm clocks somehow spoke through the floor/ceiling with each other, plotting some sick joke to make me late for school? I usually rule out that idea considering my alarm clock isn't that vendictive. No my mom's is another story...

    Moving on from my wild alarm clock theories I was just trolling the far reaches of google and stumbled upon a delicious looking dessert pie thingy! It's called chocolate Caramel Cream Pie. I've saved the recepie on my computer because it looks so good! I wish my computer would let me upload a picture but "this program is not presently available" so I can't. : / Maybe tommorow.

   I think that now would be the appropriate time to end my typing spree and get off of the computer. Science stories annoy me and Facebook is rather boring at the moment. So, I bid you adieu. Keep in mind, you can get paper cuts on your tongue!

Snow Day?

    So, it's a Wednesday again! I think today has such an odd name. Wouldn't you want to normally spell it as Wensday? That's how I used to spell it up until...fourth grade? Along with February being Febuary. Our langauge is has so many stupid and pointless rules! Opossum, pnemonia, I think we need to all just band together so that we can change the langauge. Who gave those people way back when the authority to create a world wide language and its confusing rules? And while we're at it, let's go back to how they did it in olden days and capitalize whatever words we want. That would be fun. Actually....I take that back. Living in a world without correct grammar would drive me insane. Dismiss all I said before! (Even if it would be nice to get rid of silent letters)

    Tommorow supposed to be a snow day if the weather acts as it should! However, us miseryians...I mean Missourians ; ) know that it doesn't always do what we expect/want it to. I personalyl doubt that it will snow but who knows, it might! I'm trying to compile a list of things you're supposed to do if you want to have a snow day and so far I have wear your "pj's" inside out, sleep with a potato under your pillow, sleep with a spoon beneath your pillow, and verbally doubt that it will happen but on the inside hope with all the hope you have to hope with (which do you think is my tactic?). Anyone know any others? If so, send it to me on Facebook or check out the little comment button at the bottom right of this post. Let me know if it works for you, apparently someone has said it didn't work. I believe you may have to have an account with Blogger or Google to be able to post but I'm not certain.

    My eyes are getting tired from staring at this screen so I'm going to leave you with that. Please, rack your brains for snow day ideas! I'll hopefully find out how to make other pages then post it on here for you to view. Watch out for flying pens, they're everywhere these days!

Dad and His Cool Pants

    First off I wuld like to let you know that my pillow had no odd smells last night. Perhaps that was why I got so much more sleep. Or because we have to get up at such an ungodly time to go to school! I swear, make the little children who are already awake at five o'clock get up and go to school! I'd take getting up at eight thirty over six thirty any day.

    I hear we're supposed to get another wintry mix tonight/tommorow/tommorow night. As not to give you faulty information I will look up the forecast right now!!!  ....... There is a 30% chance of snow tonight and 40% chance of "frozen mix" on the morrow. And that has been the weather forecast for Wentzville Missouri, I'm Nicole Mueller.

    So, I doubt that my father will be reading this but if he does then Hi Dad! But if you wanted to see a picture of one of my parents when younger (-ahem- with more hair than he has now -ahem-) then look no further than below this sentence!

    Yup, I would call those his cool pants. That's my dad right there! So enjoy the picture of my dorky father. If you don't hear from me in more than a week, someone call 911, I may have been murdered. Watch where you're stepping, eat lots of potatoes, and for goodness sakes, go do something valuable with your lives!!

Christmas Tree!!

    Hey, look! It's our Christmas tree! I told you I'd put it up. ; ) Beautiful, right? Not as good since I took it during the day but whatever. There are even presents below it and everything. The Christmas season is well underway. Huzzah.

    Okay, so last night I was awake for about two hours after I went to bed unable to sleep. Yeah, suckish. And then to boot my pillow smelled weird. How does a pillow obtain an unfamiliar smell to the sleeper? I have no clue. I wonder if my head started smelling weird or something...but my shampoo has stayed the same! I don't know, I'll give you an update on whether it still smells later.

    Molly, my dog if you don't know, is presently standing right behind me. I'm not sure what she's expecting from me. She does this often. It's not like I have a stash of Pupperoni's back here for her. Oh, she left! Probably to go sleep in her crate for a while. I swear! That dog is quite something.

    I have a story to go edit for a contest so I must bid you adieu. Don't eat the yellow snow and keep your hot hands close!

Snow and Tim Burton

    First snow of the season!! Our poor outdoor cat, Tinkerbell, she had snow in her box she sleeps in on our porch. My mother let her sleep in the garage so she wouldn't freeze her tail off. She would look a tad bit ridiculous without a tail. I'm sure all the other cats would laugh at her. I wonder if all the dogs laugh at our dog, Molly, with her docked tail....

    I am getting hanousley (I can't seem to spell hanousley today. Haneous? Haneus?) off topic! There didn't seem to be a topic to begin with, besides the snow, so I will make one. My mom is watching Alice in Wonderland downstiars right now. Not the old Disney one but the new Disney one with Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. Fun fact here: Helene Bonham Carter has two children (I think) with Tim Burton who directed Alice in Wonderland along with many other movies she's in!!

    Speaking of Tim Burton, I just googled him and fuond his website. It has his art on it, which is sorta kinda disturbingly cool. To see his stuff you get to control a little animated dude and walk through a "gallery" of his art. And I really like the music that is playing on it. You should check it out! Go to... http://www.timburton.com/   <--- there! Tell me what you think of the pictures and music. Let me know if I'm just weird and it's disturbing or what.

    Well, check that site out for me and try not to freeze if you happen to be in a place capable of getting snow. If not, beware of heatstroke.

Blonde Jokes

   Okay, we've all heard them. The sterotyping blonde jokes that make all of us girls with blonde hair sound like idiots. But, before I go on from here I must recount a memory from third grade. We were in gym class back when we had it with hour class for the entire day. Anyways, a new girl in my class on that day asked me while we were in "squad spots" (which are still used in our gym class today) if I was "offended by blonde jokes". Well, being little, miniature Nicole at the time I automatically said no. I mean, who thinks about questions like that! But, being no longer little, minature Nicole I have put some thought into that question and I can honestly say that I am not offended by blonde jokes! And that is how I have gotten to this; the list of my favorite blonde jokes I could find while browsing facebook!

    I'm sorry if you too are a blonde and reading this and happen to be offended by them. I don't care considering I have a respectable amount of A's on my report card right now and few "ditsy" moments. But, if you do not like them then by all means, AVERT YOUR EYES.......NOW!

1.) Brunette: "Looks it's a dead bird!" ... *Blonde looks up into the sky* ... "Where?"   ((This is me making comments on these. I liked this one a lot, especially since the blonde, in my opinion, is looking for zombies birds!))

2.) What do you call a blonde who dyes her hair? Artificial intelligence.  ((I thought this was funny because I know a girl, not naming names, who got blonde highlights but is more of a really dirty blonde and acts like an air head at times. Very, very smart with several...dizzy moments. ))

3.) A blonde walked up to one of her  friends and asked "What does idk mean?" the person then said "I don't know." The blonde then said "Omigod, no one knows!!!" ((I just liked that one because the spelled oh my god wrong. ))

4.) ***Last one***  What did the blonde say when she opened a box of Cheerios? "Oh look, donut seeds."

    Well, that's all folks! You can go back to doing important things with your lives and thanks for reading.

For Elise....

     Today's edition of Pineapple Explosion is brought to you by Elise ________ (_'s for security/identity reasons). She specifiaclly requested my post "with a bit of additional comedy" so that's what will be done! Let the post commence.

    We put up our Christmas tree today! Ally has already taken up her post beneath the tree ready to defend helpless presents from ruthless present ninjas. I knew we kept her around for a reason. Anyways, its so nice to have our living room once more illuminated by unnatural, multi-colored lights. This is why we love the Christmas season!

    Yesterday morning I got to help out with this awesome orginization Theraputic Horsemanship and their charity 5k/fun run thingy they did. There was a great turn-out. However, I had to get up at 6:40 on a Saturday to help and had to stand outside for an hour in the 30 degree whether. Fun, right. My mother and I were pu lling tabs off of sweaty runners to keep track of who came in what place when. You get the picture. I'll let you know that I finished 96th out of 110. How did I do that? A rogue tab decided to catch the wind when I was trying to shove it onto this thing we were collecting them on with my cold, numb fingers. To catch the stupid thing I had to cross the finish line. Needless to say the man pressing the button as the runners finished pressed it as I ran across. Not bad for not running what so ever that day.

    My mother and sister are presently talking in the dark so I'm going to go join them! Look for a picture of my Christmas tree coming up. And if you have the ambition, send me a picture of your awesome Christmas tree for me to post on here! I'll even decide on a winner if anyone sends one in. A prize will be later determined. Adios!   

December Again!

    So...it's been a while. Haven't had much to say the past few days, not a very remarkable week in Nicole Land. I'm watching the 2008 version of The Forbiden Kingdom and Jacki Chan just got shot!! There was also just a Chinese lady on with long, pinkish white hair. I mean, pick a color for your hair! White or pink? Not both!

    I suppose one thing did happen to me this week. As predicted I did not get the part I wanted in the musical. However, I did get a sorta kinda lead. What role might that be? Benny Southstreet, Nicley Nicely's gangsta buddy! Yup, "I'm picking Valentine 'cause on the morning line the guy has got him figured at 5 to 9". Just so you know, that is the first thing I say. Interesting, right?

    There is this Facebook game I am actually playing as I write this and it is amazingly addictive! No, it's not Farmville as I'm sure most of you are thinking. It is called Baking life Beta and if you are looking for a game to waste away hours of your life on, this is the game for you! You can bake delicious pastries in minutes without the accomplished feeling you would get after actually baking something! So, if you have a Facebook account and hours of time to mindlessly spend playing a stupid game then you should try out Baking Life Beta!

    Ooh, now miss Chinese fancy hair has pink/white/purple hair! Annoyance....is...building!! Actually, she is very pretty. But that is not the point! I will leave you now with a ridiculously cute picture of a puppy. Enjoy!
