At that time I lived in New Castle. I had 7 pet chickens, all of which had been hand raised and hand fed their entire lives. Let's just say they were VERY friendly chickens. On the night of the 6th, someone came to my house in the middle of the night and killed them. No, not killed them... tortured them and ripped their heads off. So when we woke up we found our oldest chicken with her head completely detached and turned inside out. She was laid out on our porch right outside our door, her head just a few inches away. Ebony was the sweetest chicken and she had always seemed so wise to me. She had old eyes and it was as if we had known each other in another life. Next we found Rusty, my only Road Island Red, in the shed, her feathers were everywhere and I at least found peace that she had fought for her life before dying behind a bale of straw. We found Sunny, one of the twin White Leghorns, beneath the lilac tree. Blackie died a few hours later from shock. PeDee's body was never found. As for Whitey, the other Leghorn, and Angel, they survives their injuries, but had lost their minds in the process, either that or they had extensive brain damage, but they lived a few more years before dying of pneumonia.
So here's my question... How sick do you have to be to hurt something so helpless and innocent as a chicken. Seriously? How can someone hurt another person's pets... yeah okay maybe they didn't know that these were pets, but still they trespassed on privet property just to kill some little girl's chickens. I am well aware that my family isn't well liked, that I'm not very well liked, but don't take it out on animals. I don't care if it was about religion either... What those people did was wrong and I hope someday you get what you have given.

Sun Tea
Tomorrow I'll be making sun tea. I'm not sure what kind of tea I'll use... Probably some black tea I have hidden in my cupboards. I WILL NOT be boiling this before or after. I'm not afraid, I've consumed sun tea since I was a little girl... and I've also consumed Kombucha, which has WAAAAY more bacteria than sun tea. BTW... Sun tea is pasteurized.... Survival specialists have used the power of the sun to pasteurize water for years. Pasteurization taking a substance and using low heat to kill the bacteria. Low heat and a long time. Also, if you stick this in the refrigerator afterwards, that slows the growth of bacteria to a stand still. I know that for a fact from petri dishes...
Not all bacteria are bad!!! The human body is NOT sterile. Adding natural bacteria found in most drinking water is adding competition for really bad bacteria like E.Coli 0104: H4... I'm not referring to the E.coli that's found in the human colon... I'm referring to the deadly kind of E.coli. The kind you study in Microbiology.
I'll be adding the sugar after its finished brewing and then sticking it into the fridge. I'll post pictures tomorrow.
TAKE HOME MESSAGE.... Don't be afraid of sun tea or kombucha... both are very healthy in small amounts. The only time something bad happens is when there is an overgrowth or you consume too much. For instance, Gardia can be found in almost everyone's fecal matter in this Valley... why is no one sick? Because there isn't an overgrowth. People have enough competitive bacteria in their systems to fight it off. Kombucha can make people sick, but mostly its because of them consuming a 16 oz. bottle a day for a month... That's like drinking Apple Cider vinegar every day for a month. This can cause Metabolic Acidosis(http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/25/fashion/25Tea.html), and can be contaminated with a type of toxic fungus. Which is why I wouldn't recommend making your own or buying it from someone one off the street. But drinking bottled kombucha can supplement probiotics and can really whiten your teeth! Just don't drink it every day.

On Subscribers and subscriptions...
I hate seeing "Comment, subscribe, rate" pop ups on Youtube videos! That's why I don't use them in my videos, in the description, or on my blog. The way I see it, people are going rate and subscribe if they like the video, or rate it poorly if they don't. People are going to comment if they have a question or and actual comment. It bothers me a little bit, when I see these pop ups. Do I really need a reminder to do these things? I also hate it when people ask me to sub to them. I'll sub if I'm a viewer, simple as that. If I don't think I'll watch you, or if I find myself subscribed but I'm not watching you, then I'm not rating or commenting either. So I'm not giving you the support you deserve. The support that other people could give you. In this case I unsub, or not sub at all if the former is the case. I know very few people read this, but I needed to state it.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a full time student, doing 13 credits and trying to get a job before I'm FUCKING HOMELESS!!!! Doing 78 math problems isn't helping me!!! I DO NOT have 10 hours to spend on math home work. Who the fuck do you think you are? You are the math teacher from hell! I hate you, and I'm starting to re-hate math because of you. I used to love math, but your turning it into a fucked up mess. I have three other classes, how many classes on average do you think we're taking? We are full time student, who happen to be in remedial math... and guess what? We have lives, and families, and work. We need time with them and to ourselves. Just because we're your first class in eight years, just because we're your only class, just because we're remedial does NOT mean that we are people with nothing to do. I spend at least 6-7 hours on homework for my class that's once a week, I spend at least 6 hours on English, and at least 3 hours on Speech. I DO NOT HAVE TIME TO DO 10 HOURS OF MATH!!! Three hours is enough for me to understand and practice the concept... Having 78 due on Thursday when they were given to us on Tuesday is fucking ridiculous!
I'm sick... Which means I missed Tuesday, got these problems Today and they're due tomorrow. I know its my responsibility to come to class, but I'm Sorry I was puking my fucking guts out!!! And now I have a head cold - will have to stay up all night - and have to stay up until 10 pm tomorrow night... I have to do English and practice for my presentation tomorrow, and do at least 2 hours in my notebook... I feel super sick, getting sicker... and I'm pissed as hell.
I would have quit your class long ago if not for the need of it. I would have quit your class long ago if not for the need to keep my scholarship, which requires me to be enrolled in a certain number of credits. I would have quit long ago and joined another class if I had the ability and resource to drive,but I don't and won't be able to learn until the summer... I won't be able to get a house until late summer.... I won't be able to get a job until summer... Which means I'll never be free... BTW it's scholarship season, they are due the 15th of March, which means I need time to do that and FAFSA.... But I don't have time... I don't have the energy, and I never do anything fun anymore....

Breasts.... And a rant on myself in General...
I have gotten to a place where I knew I would be and yet... I was STILL unprepared... I am now in a DD cup size.... I knew I would be there because of my genetics.... But still.... I'm an 18 year old woman, what the hell am I doing with DD's?!!! I feel like Barbie... I'm sure people see me and think, "Oh.... look at the Bimbo, she probably doesn't know anything about anything..."
I could say worse, but I'll keep my composure.... For now. Its true though, just looking at me you would never suspect that I'm in school to become a Doctor... Though that's not set, I have backups of being a Biomedical Engineer... Because of my looks and my voice I tend to be pretentious and a know-it-all.... Which I've recently become disturbingly aware of. I honestly don't mean to be these things, and I know I'm not right all of the time, and I can happily admit when I'm wrong... but there are just times when I feel like I have to prove myself.... which everyone feels, but I think I tend to take it to the extreme... I want to be humble, but not loose my self value, or my pride. In school, I've been told by my friends that I have a really strict air about me... I'm afraid my shyness is coming off as intimidation and superiority... Which, as I'm sure I've said before, makes getting a job THAT much harder...
Another thing I've noticed, is that I'm SUPER open. Anyone can ask me just about anything and I'll answer, because I don't see the point in not answering. I mean there is the occasional question that is just too personal and then I'll give an answer like... "Sorry, I can't answer that.", "I don't know you well enough to answer that.", or my new favorite... the Japanese method, "Its very difficult for me to say."!!! But, alas, I had a point, and that is that I feel that I can really be open and expressive on my Blog, but can't on Video. On video I just seem distant and nonexistent. I'm not sure how I can be myself and still be entertaining.
I also use to many...... at the end of my sentences. Or shall I say, I use them too often? I find myself a bit annoyed when I catch myself doing this, but they have a purpose. And that is to show the flow of my thoughts, which are disturbingly scattered and most of the time incoherent... If it bothers you, sorry... there's nothing I can do.
I hate spending money, and, yet, I can't stop... It makes me feel stupid, like I can't be responsible with my money... to the point where I find myself embarrassed about spending it on stuff I actually need... like bras and a better, more school appropriate, wardrobe. I need to stop spending money on makeup and perfume... though, this I know! I have more than enough to get me into the next half decade!
Wow this was Waaaaay longer than I though it would be... sorry for the WOT!!!

Mac Cosmetics and why I do not use them....
1) I feel that they are utterly unaccessible to the general public! Spiritually, physically, emotionally, economically. I've talked to A LOT of people about how they feel when shopping at a Mac counter and most of the time they feel incompetent. That's never a good way to do business.
2) Cheaply made products that are overpriced! I've hear far too many times from far too many people that MAC products make them break out, ect. I personally don't want to pay three times the average price of a half decent product.
3) Marketing scheme! The reason Mac does all of the the "Limited Edition" lines is because it is an excellent way to make more money! People don't want to miss out on things, everyone wants to feel special, and this is an age old marketing scheme that works! Problem with that is... that more often than not there will be a number of products that aren't limited edition in with the actual new colors/products. This is why you end up with five or six of the same color... Look at Urban Decay and how many of their palettes have five old colors with five new colors, while people want the new colors and buy the product for that, they also end up rebuying products that they already have and probably don't need more of. Its why I don't buy palettes unless I'm completely new to the brand... Like I will probably buy the Naked palette.
4) Horrible costumer service!
5) Color! I know a lot of women out there who LOVE the selection of colors in MAC foundation... problem is... is that most of the time, They're only shopping for one or two colors/shades. Illamasqua has so many more shades, mainly because they're a theater company, but in their pressed powders alone there are 15 varying, different shades. Mac has whole different sets of press powders with maybe two different shades for each one... At least on their website... Given, those are just one type of product, but check out both sites and see for yourself. And yes Illamasqua is an actual "High End" brand as far as price and product... whereas MAC is significantly cheaper, but Illamasqua is a Theater makeup company... they make their products to last!
6) The whole Rodarte scandal... If you don't know about this Google is your friend.

I GOT MY KEYBOARD!!! And Rant on Ubuntu...
???????????????
:( ;(
()()()()()
999999999999
sssssssssss
Muahahahhahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! That's all of the characters I couldn't type before yesterday!!!! Which means I just got mu new keyboard and I'm super happy!!! Now I'm reformatting...
BTW Ubuntu, the netbook version, Unity, SUCKS!!!! I can't move the application/task bar.... WTF.. Ubuntu is supposed to be the MOST customizable Software out there.... So Why is it that I can't have the Task bar exactly where I want it??? Okay I wouldn't mind if it was a slim task bare like the top and bottom bars in Ubuntu... but this thing is HUGE!!! It takes up so much room on the left hand side of the monitor that I can barely focus on anything else!!! And you can't make it disappear!! Like the windows task bar.. which I love, but I'm sick of getting viruses!!! Fucking Trojans!!! Piss me off all the time.... every time I look up Kanji I get a fucking virus!!!! Why? Idk... supposedly Asian web sites are notorious for viruses... I know, I know, SUPER stereotypical... but whatever...
Back to the Task Bar... I guess if your Vertically minded it would be okay, but I'm not, in fact, most people aren't. And no it isn't something I can just GET USED TO... I can't focus because its vertical... Its simply not how I think or function. And If your going to use Gnome... then why have the netbook version at all... Especially when the desktop version is soooooooooo much more customizable...
My Solution... I'm going to try Ubuntu Mint, which is supposedly more like Windows...
Okay, I've ranted enough... If anyone has questions or something to add, please leave me a comment!
