if i was a robot

I put an emoticon code into my layout, so hopefully it works! I'm going to test it out:

:D :) :P :(

Woo, it works.

I have a pimple on my nose. :( An ugly red one. Luckily it's more to the side of my nose, and not dead center. Oh well, at least it's winter break. Probably one of the better times to get an ugly pimple.

I need to finish shopping for Christmas!!!

I made changes to the blog layout I got from btemplates.com called Smash My Typo. Very small changes, but I feel happy because I understand html a little more, so I'm able to make these little changes.



Awesome template :D But I wanted to take out the twitter bird because I don't have a twitter and probably never will. I also wanted to add a image to the background.




So this is how the template looks now. :> Not much difference, haha.

What the heck! Why does this : > end up looking like this :>??? It took a cute smiley and turned it into a perverted, arrogant looking icon?

I got a new domain. Dinosaurs are out, ROBOTS are in. Muahaha.

The domain used to be polkadotdino.blogspot.com

Something happened to a lot of my old posts after I got a new blog template. Some of the words shrunk in text size and condensed. :( I fixed the text size, but the words are still very squished together. I'm not sure why that happened.

Anyways, I'll be tinkering with the blog background...hopefully I'll get it the way I want.

WINTER BREAK!!!
It's finally here! Two glorious weeks off from school.

Life seems pretty good right now.
I went shopping with Jojo and Hamtaro today. It was CROWDED at the mall. The line at Borders was unbelievable! I still have some Christmas shopping to do though. I didn't bring enough money. :( At least I got present shopping for my friends done with. d(^^d)
First I'll blog about Friday.
Warning: Crappy phone pics coming up. >.< Plus a long post.

Friday was the big day where we would find out who was our secret santa! The somewhat creepy Santa bag had my gift for Dramas. The wrapped one was for Gecko.
Yesterday was such an awesome, laid back day. We had a school fair where the different clubs had booths where they sold various food. Most the teachers let the students skip class and go to the fair instead! There were performances as well at the fair.
My friends and I stayed in S-building most the time though, just sitting around being stupid(: I love them!
My secret santas were STILTS and GECKO. :D They gave me awesome gifts!
First Secret Santa:

Hmmm...what's this?
Cute!!!


How did she know earrings were something I wanted? When she asked me what I wanted, I said anything would be fine. The earrings are so pretty! I love the dangly pair.
It just so happened that I wasn't wearing earrings on Friday. I was planning to wear Christmasy earrings, but I ended up not. So I wore one of each of the earrings she gave me. Mismatched, haha. They kind of went together though.


Such a pretty bag. I wish my phone could've done it justice(;
Gecko gave me a pretty cell phone charm, which I don't have a good picture of. >.< It's attached to my phone already, and I can't really take closeups with my phone. I don't want to take the charm off though because putting it on was a little hard. Since my phone doesn't have a spot for a cellphone charm, I had to poke two holes in my cellphone cover.

PAPER STARS!
I've tried making those before, but each time I failed! >:[
Shopping today with my favorite shopping buddies! <333
We planned to meet up at noon inside Borders. I left at around 11:20 and got there at 11:35ish, LOL. I'm usually late though, so I wanted to get there early for a change. Plus on the bus schedule, a bus was either coming in a few minutes or 40 minutes, so I grabbed my money and bolted out the door for the bus stop. I made it just in time. x]
On the bus this woman was blasting her iPod. I think her earphones were broken, or she really likes her music loud. Even though she was wearing the earphones, the music she was playing could be distinctly heard. This other woman on the bus kept eying her with an annoyed expression, haha.
Even though it wasn't really my kind of music, I thought it was better to hear it than be on a relatively silent bus.
Once I got off the bus and into Borders, I found an interesting looking book and sat on the ground to read (even though people aren't allowed to sit on the ground at Borders. I'm so badass, aren't I? Heh). I talked with Jojo and Hamtaro on the phone on and off, and Ninja Sister (NS) called me and declared that she was bored.
It was almost an hour before Jojo and Hamtaro came. Psh, on the one day I'm early, they're late. The time passed by fast for me though. I love bookstores.
Jojo and I hadn't eaten lunch, so we went to McDonald's.
I got a honey mustard snack wrap. Mmmm(: Grilled chicken of course, not fried. Haha.

Are they supposed to be like that? Mine did not have a huge piece of chicken, but smaller pieces! This is an outrage!
Jojo had fries for lunch. FRIES. She always eats just fries when we go shopping at FMall. I guess it's a tradition. Fries are not lunch...you gotta eat more than that!
Fries are good though.
Afterward, we went to Forever21. I was excited because it would be my first time getting a proper look at the clothing in the recently opened store. We didn't see anything we wanted to buy though. :\
Then to:
Hamtaro and I got jackets on sale(: Mine was originally $44 apparently? What the heck. -.- The only special thing about it is the hood lining I guess:
Shiny.
Then to American Eagle for Jojo. She's been lusting over a hoodie there for awhile now and finally got it. No sale. :\ That AE only does buy 1 get 1, 1/2 off. :( The price was making her hesitant to get it, and I think she felt pretty guilty for buying it. Sometimes you need to splurge though?

This is my Christmas present for my little sister.It's so cute! When we were going down the escalator I was admiring it and kept squishing it. Jojo was like, "WTF?!" Or at least that's what her face said, haha.
What I bought today :D

The tiny gingerbread stuffed animal is for NS. She kept telling me she wanted a gingerbread man (in cookie form). When I saw that gingerbread toy at Hallmark I knew I had to get her it, even though it's not edible.
The dog is for my friend in homeroom(:
I'm not sure when I'm going to finish up my Christmas shopping, but I have to soon because Christmas is so close! :D

There's a lot I want to blog about, but I can only blog this short, little entry because I need to focus more on school. :x
I have some important tests tomorrow and friday that I NEED to ace. My grade is depending on them! Also, there's finals after winter break...but I have another two weeks to worry about that(;
The forever21 at FMall finally opened!!! It opened a week or so ago and I didn't even know! So angry at myself. I was so excited for it. I guess I got caught up in school, family, and friends and forgot all about it. I went inside that f21 today. It's so shiny and sparkly. It's bringing out the shopaholic in me. I stayed in there only for a few seconds. I just wanted to check it out. Today's shopping was not for me, but for the secret santas! And f21 was not part of the people's wishlist. I can't wait to go there again with Hamtaro and Jojo, my fave shopping buddies!
Goodbye dear blog...I'll talk to you more on the weekend! Can't wait(:
Haha, blogging is like a treat to me.

I guess my parents have softened! They let my sister and I stay home from school today. *maniacal laughter*
I'm not that sick, but it's definitely nice not being at school. Since this morning, I've had a runny nose. I hate having a runny nose at school! Especially during tests. Phew, at least I can sniffle and wipe my snot in the comfort of my home. ;)
I'm sure everyone's sick of twilight and new moon, but I saw this on tumblr awhile ago and thought it was funny.

Charming, isn't he?

Love this MLIA(;
I spent my morning watching infomercials...strangely fascinating. Then I watched TV and studied a bit. Now I'm blogging and texting with Stilts and Gecko.
They both asked me WHY I'm sick and HOW I'm sick...uhhh...IDK!
Lunch is over now, so they're all in class! (Unless they cut, but they're good lil students, haha.) Probably no more texting with them for now.
*sniffle sniffle*
My nose is singlehandedly sending tissues into extinction! :x

HOW AWESOME AND INTENSE WERE THOSE LAST TWO EPISODES?! I was so concentrated while watching them, so when the ads came on I would realize that my mouth had been open while I had been staring intently at the screen.

Now what can I watch?
*lightbulb goes off* THE OFFICE! :D Love that show(:
Lunch was so nice today. It was very relaxed and fun. It was just a big group of people in this hallway-like place...so COZY! Having to go to class afterwards was such a downer. *sigh* I wish every day could be as good as today.

Even though I liked my old blog layout, I decided I wanted a new one. I felt like my old one was too mature looking...plus when I was blog surfing, I came across someone who had that layout too. What are the odds? Haha.
I like this new layout...It's light and clean feeling. :D
I wish I had a robot that would do my homework for me. :'(
And I actually need to go shopping for my secret santa presents because we're giving each other our gifts this coming Friday. There's no time to go shopping on a weekday! (Well there is time, but it would be rushed and not ideal.)

I like how some blogs have weekly planned entries, so I wanted to do something like that. I think my idea is stupid, but I've had it in my brain for a week or two, so I'm going to go for it. x] I got inspiration from some of the types of entries on tumblr.
I'm calling it, "Weekly Secrets." That sounds lame, doesn't it? The secrets aren't going to be huge or anything. ;] I don't even think I have any major, OMGGGG worthy secrets anyway.
Here's my first one as an example of how my other ones will be. :D I'll try and keep up with this by posting one secret a week.

Yupp, not exactly my finest moment.
