WHY IS SCHOOL INTERNET SOOOOO SLOWWWW?!!?!?!?

I'm having trouble blogging because everything is taking FOREVER. To make up for my inability to blog properly, I'm passing this computer lab time by talking guitars with blake and stuart and listening to Passion Pit. Check 'em out.
I think I'm gonna go see HAIR tomorrow night at TCR. It should be sweet. I'll get to see Brooke Harlander's ass. My dad's playing guitar in the pit and I guess they modified some of the songs so he can go crazy and show off his mad guitar skillz. I'm stoked. I'm taking the BF and I think he'll like it too since he's never heard old Billy rip on the electric guitar. (acoustic is definitely his forte, though it wasn't always that way)

I'm done with this crappy connection

peace.

Uh. Yeah. OoOoOoYeah.

I JUST CHANGED MY LAYOUT.

But I'm still not so sure how I feel about it.
If anyone has input, feel free to speak up.
Especially Shi'Thead Dupree.

Technology.

2009-05-12T06:17:00.001-07:00

Stuart.
Technology does not kill puppies. I asked my mommy and she said you were lying.
However, every three seconds, a child in Africa dies of starvation. I KNOW that one's true.

Some day, I'm gonna go to Africa and feed a starving child. PrOmIsE.
I'm also gonna learn French and Spanish. *special thanks to Jeff and Pastor Dale*
Maybe I'll add German to that list.
And possibly Latvian or Thai :P
Actually... I would feel really cool if I could speak Latvian. My grandma can because she was born there. I'm not gonna lie I'm a little jealous. She has a sweet accent.
Maybe I'll learn British. I think I could pull that off.

I GOT A HAIRCUT! It looks alright, but I think I'm gonna go back and hack more off tonight. I know. I'm so hardcore. I just figured, now that show choir and prom are over, and I'm so hardcore, why not?

Why is this Happening to Me???

2009-05-05T06:32:00.000-07:00

Why does my blog suck?

I can't write about interesting things like Tamara, and it's not like my writing is captivating or anything.
this is pretty much just word vomit.
I'm sensing a new blog name here.....
nah.
I like my Juno reference.

but still.

One More Reason May 1st ROCKS

2009-05-01T06:49:00.000-07:00

Post #5

Make That 2 Reasons.

Reason #1- ITS MY HALF BIRTHDAY!!!! ONLY SIX MORE MONTHS TILL I'M 18!!! HOORAY! I can't decide if that's sad or not... because that means I can't get away with being a kid as easily, but it does grant me more freedoms and independence. I guess I'll just wing it.

Reason #2- I POSTED 5 TIMES!!!!!!!! I still don't think I'm gonna get a very good grade in the blogging section of this course, but with Mr. Ayers' crazy grading scale, I'm not worried. I'll just kick but next round ;)

only 4 minutes left of class, and i think i've got some carpal tunnel a'brewin up in these wrists.

peace luvahs.

HAPPY MAY DAY!

This is probably one of my first actual research posts. Be proud, Mr. Ayers.

What is May Day?

Well, May Day is a secular holiday that originated in Europe in the 1600's. It is a Pagan holiday that was introduced to Britain by the Romans. The Romans used this date to feast and celebrade Flora, the goddess of flowers. It was originally a FIVE DAY celebration!
One old May Day tradition that isn't often celebrated today is the Maypole. This is a pole of any size covered in ribbons that people would sing and dance around. The Puritan Long Parlaiment stopped this tradition in 1644, but it was somewhat revived later on.
Another tradition is the hanging of Maybaskets. I'm sure most of you have done this before, so I won't go into the details.

Aren't you glad you know this now?

That was Happy Birthday all Mixed Up.

Even though it is not my birthday.... it is still a very VERY special day for a number of reasons. The biggest reason.... IT'S JEFFERY'S AND MY HAPPY ONE YEAR AND SIX MONTHS OF TOGETHERNESS DAY! It's been grand! Hopefully the next year and six months will go just as well ;) Minus three months cuz SOMEBODY has to go to Spain for school. (:() It's all good though. I'm not worried. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? I guess....

cheers.

Prom.

My first of two proms is happening tomorrow. I've been waiting for this for months, and, despite my oncoming cold, I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my dress is B-E-A-UTIFUL. It's bright red, floor length, hand beaded, has one strap and a train, and is too big. But NEVER FEAR! My buddy Keegan's grandma is altering it for me. Actually........... I think she finished last night. I can't wait! I have everything i need and i'm assuming that it will take me about 6+ hours to get ready tomorrow. It's cool though, because after all my hard work, I'm going to look pretty for a couple hours, then go dance the night away and look disgusting :) I can diggg itttt. Jeff and I are going with Will and Steff. And Jeff's mom's making dinner while my mom provides the cheesecake. Mmmm... cheesecake.....

Game On.

Post#1

The Swine Flu...

I bet I'm not the first person to post on this topic. Sorry if this is just a little redundant. The only thing that bothers me about the swine flu (other than the fact that it could KILL ME,) is its possibl effect on my travels this summer. If Japan doesn't let me in because of this stupid bug, I am going to be very VERY upset. Those two "maybe" cases in Iowa had better be something different, because I DONT WANT THE SWINE FLU! I already have a sore throat... I don't need the fear of dying piled on top of that.

I need a cherry pepsi.

2009-04-16T06:28:00.000-07:00

(I meant to post this last thursday but didn't for some reason... so pretend this is from last week k?)

So Tuesday night....

WAS AMAZING!!!!

I went to the Shiny Toy Guns concert in Iowa City! They were fantastic. The lighting, the music, the performance in general was incredible.

I think my favorite part of the whole thing was Sisely Treasure(lead female vocalist)'s outfit. It wasn't overly accessorised or anything. It consisted of electric blue leggings with zippers at the ankles, white high top sneakers without laces, and a white midriff-baring t-shirt with the sleeves rolled up and tied at the left side on the bottom. Along with her blonde and pink hair and rainbow eyeshadow, she looked phenomenal. Truly inspiring I must say. I've been scoping out american apparel ever since and I'm saving my moneys for a similar pair of leggings :)

The best part of the whole night was after the show. My whole group of friends got to MEET THE BAND! Which in and of itself isn't entirely exciting because things like that happen all the time.... HOWEVER......

.............

.......................

.............

WE GOT TO GO ON THEIR TOUR BUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My friends and I were talking to Jeremy (the keyboardist) and, after he signed all of our stomachs with a sharpie, we told him we really wanted to see Sisely before it was time to leave. The drummer yelled, "Take them all out to the bus!!!" so... we all went out to the bus. It was locked and nobody was inside. After about ten minutes of waiting, the drummer returned and unlocked the giant vehicle for us. He also informed us that Sisely was back inside the venue. (I have no idea how that happened...) Our long, chilly wait was not for naught, though, because we still were all allowed to take a mini tour of the bus. I SAW WHERE THE SHINY TOY GUNS SLEEP!!! AAAHHH!!! After that, we went back inside the Picador to find our leading lady. Before I go any further, I must tell you about my best friend Matilda and her love spark with Jeremy.

When we first met Jeremy, Mattie promptly informed him that the Shiny Toy Guns were her absolute favorite band of all time (which they are). He asked us all how old we were, and she replied, "fifteen.". After his jaw dropped slightly, he leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Mattie, you are beautiful and you are going to be a goddess when you get older." She nearly died. He introduced her to one of their stage managers who he is very close friends with, and also kissed her on the cheek. I couldn't be happier for my bestie :) Among other flirtations, Jeremy also informed Mattie that if she was older, they would have gotten much closer. He kept it clean though and didn't do anything creepy or weird.

This isn't over yet...

Yesterday, I got a heavily exclaimation-pointed, CAPITALIZED text from a frantic Mattie that read... "THE GUNS WROTE ABOUT ME ON TWITTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Jeremy said that she was breathtaking/amazing. It was super sweet. What a lucky girl.

After discovering that the tour bus was empty of any more guns, we traipsed back to the Picador to finally meet SISELY. We all got to take pictures and receive hugs and such before piling back into the rodriguez's van and heading back to CR. Sisely is the background on my cell phone and in my profile picture on facebook. this makes me happy :)

the end.

School computers are SO NOT RAW.

2009-04-16T06:05:00.000-07:00

This stupid computer is almost as stupid as blake because it won't let me look at his blog posts.

I do know, however, that in blake's last post he made a sorry attempt at bashing my music.
That's pretty low.
He's lucky I can take it like a man and rise above his inexcusable behavior.

Honestly... I have other topics I would enjoy spending my time blogging about more than blake's stupid music review whatever the hell that is.

your turn.

.... blake.

Really, Blake?

2009-04-09T06:46:00.000-07:00

If by "incomprehensive, snot-nosed retard" you mean, "intelligent, beautiful girl who is better at life than myself".... then I suppose "Hellen Keller" is a perfectly admirable nickname.
I think the reason you hear "DEEEHHH DUHHHEHHHH" coming out of my mouth is due to the fact that you listen to STUPID music too loudly. Invest in some decent headphones that don't destroy your eardrums, and we won't have this problem. When I say, "Hey, Blake! You're dumb!", you will hear me loud and clear and thusly reply, "Hey, Aubrey! You rock!"

Nice try.

poop head.

Review of Total_Raw

2009-04-09T06:29:00.001-07:00

Blake's blog is stupid.

All he does is review crappy music that nobody likes.

His blog lacks color and has no fun attributes such as random spacing and different sizes and fonts. He has poor punctuation and tends to abbreviate words as if he were texting. "BTW" in the place of "by the way" does not look proffessional. Learn to spell, punctuate, and capitalize properly. This is a language arts class, after all. You might want to head back to Harding and brush up on your skillz.

Hellen Keller? How original, dipshit. Like I've never gotten that one before.
You know what? I'm NOT gonna think of an original nickname for you because BLAKE sounds perfectly retarded :)

AND NOBODY SAYS "RAW" ANYMORE.

stupid.

Haters....

2009-04-09T06:14:00.000-07:00

This post has nothing to do with haters.

I just needed a word for a title because I'm not horribly creative :P

I SAW A NEW MOVIE!!! (a week ago today.... which proves that I have a problem keeping up on this blog.)

wanna know what it's called??

ok I will tell you.

CORALINE
it was SO GOOD!!
It's about a cool girl with blue hair who finds like... an alternate world in her new house. It's slightly complicated. It's a Tim Burton film. The soundtrack was wonderful.

I would write more, but I need to start my blog battle with Blake now.

Peace.

It's official! I've discovered a sparkling new talent in the form of 23 year old Miranda Sings from Washington.

I must say, this girl is a phenomenon.
Possibly one of the greatest voices of our generation.
I get such pure entertainment out of watching her youtube videos.

If you're interested in exploring this new realm of music, I would suggest watching Miranda's free voice lesson first. She shares some of her excellent tips and tricks of the trade.

I swear, this girl has created a genre all her own.

Please watch her videos.

They are truly priceless.

feelin gooood....

2009-03-25T14:35:00.000-07:00

Oh yeah.
There's four days left of spring break and i only have TWO more blog posts to write! This is a huge step for me. If there's one thing I stink at it's keeping up with stuff. I'll find something I like, do it once, and never keep it going. (with guitar being the exception :P)

you know what sounds delicious?
a GIANT soda pop. mmmmmm.

The BK burger shots commercial just came on T.V.
It makes those baby burgers look so appealing... but they SUCK! (just had to throw that out there)

you know what commercials actually ARE good?

FREECREDITREPORT.COM!!!
those are the SWEETEST songs ever!!!!!!
I think I'm in love.

Viva Spring Break

2009-03-24T18:15:00.000-07:00

THANK GOD!
I think spring break was the best thing ever invented.
I'm four days in and it's been nothing but wonderful.
I think I've eaten enough num nums to feed a third world country.
That is so bad....

I'm trying to think of something substantial to write about so my grade doesn't drop....

OH!!!

I've been watching the BACK TO THE FUTURE movies, and I must say... they definitely do not make movies like that anymore. They were absolutely amazing! I just started the third one this morning. They're hilarious. It's like so cheesy and classic. They're great entertainment. If you have a spare hour or two, watch them.

That's all I have to say for the moment.

Some Stuff I Should've Posted a LONG Time Ago....

2009-03-19T06:11:00.000-07:00

I haven't posted in a week.

Bad idea.

SO MUCH HAPPENED! I'll start with thursday night...

I saw Patty Larkin at CSPS with my dad. She was SO GOOD! She's, like, the skinniest, COOLEST 58-ish-year-old woman ever! And she totally rocks the acoustic guitar. (she plays an Olson... just like meee :D)
Oh. And. Thursday night... The Happy Chromosomes' drummer AND lead guitarist both quit the band. And they have 5+ gigs coming up. Keep that in mind for later.

Friday, I went to Jefferson with Liz. Then we went all the way to Mount Vernon for slushies. It was awesome. I love me some foreign slushies.

Saturday....
........
...
PROTEGE OWNED THE WORLD!!!!!!!! (If you don't know what Protege is, it's my school's prep show choir. I'm in it) We competed at Washington's invitational Moshow, and it was a total sweep. We got best vocals and choreography and GRAND CHAMPION in the prep division. We competed in the VARSITY finals and got fifth place out of seven! (we were definitely expecting seventh) It was the coolest day of my life.
After finals, I hooked up with my Lin Mar besties, Katie and Lexi, and we headed up to Oelwein to see THE HAPPY CHROMOSOMES! Tim Gardner, another Lin Marian and amazing drummer, offered to fill in for the band! They played four songs that they'd thrown together in a day without a lead guitarist. IT WAS THE BEST I'VE EVER SEEN THEM! I've never seen any of those guys have that much fun on stage! They're most likely going to remain a four-piece and just have the synth fill in lead parts. I was so proud of them :))))))
The show started at 12:30 AM... so I suppose it's technically Sunday we're talking about now....
The girls and I stayed up until 5.
We woke up at 10 and went out for donuts and ate them at the park. We've had the BEST weather the past four or five days.
I overhauled my room that day, and it still isn't finished. It is looking better though. You have no idea how messy it was.

I'm sick of writing.

Monday and Tuesday it was really nice out. Over 70 degrees. I went tanning. It was nice. I dyed my hair. It's nice.

That's all.
I'll write something important tomorrow.

March Resolution: Blog.

2009-03-12T06:07:00.000-07:00

okayyyy....

I went to IOWA CITY last night! I think it's one of my top twenty favorite places. (I really should make a list of those...) This was my second trip there in a week. I have such a blast every time I go there! Last night I went with my mom and my best friend Dani. We went to a show at the Picador.

I don't know if you've ever been to the Picador before, but it is GROSS. It's a dirty bar with a dirty stage and very dirty bathrooms. I'm serious. Do. Not. Let your butt touch that toilet seat. However, despite the Picador's dirtyness, it's awesome. The first band was none other than THE HAPPY CHROMOSOMES!!! Lead singer.... My boyfriend Jeffrey :D.

The first time I ever saw them perform was Halloween 2007, and they were pretty bad. Every time I've seen them since they've done nothing but improve. They're almost finished recording their first CD (they already have an EP out. 8 Months Til Mardi Gras.) and it's gonna be so boss. If you're into Indie Euro Pop-Punk, then I would strongly recommend giving them a look-see. Many people are very skeptical of them. Partially because of their name, and partially because of the fact that they are a high school band. Nobody moreso than Dani. She loved their performance. They are a very dedicated group of boys, and their sound totally showcases that.

The second band to play was Miniature Tigers. I was so excited to see them! THEY. WERE. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! They gave away a Miley Cyrus sticker, but, sadly, not to me :'(. The lead singer Charlie had teddy bears on his sweater, and the bassist was super small and had wee little chicken legs. The whole band was just super cute :).

The third band was dece, but not my top pick. I forgot their name.

The headliner was Dear and the Headlights. They were very good... and VERY loud. By the time I crawled into bed at 11:30, the ringing in my ears was unbelievable. Did you know that after the tone you hear while your ears are ringing stops, you'll never physically be able to hear that tone again?? Goodbye, high pitched tone. Parting is such sweet sorrow. AND, when I got out of the concert, I felt like I was in one of those movie scenes where all of the audio is gone. I couldn't hear any background noise. Everything was super muffled. I bet I was yelling every word I said.

Regardless of my massive earache.... the night was a great success. There's nowhere better to be than some crazy show in Iowa City :]

Tilly and the Wall

2009-02-05T06:30:00.000-08:00

Tilly and the Wall is cool.

My buddy Charlie gave me one of thier songs (Bad Education) last fall, and I just started exploring some of their other music about... 30 seconds ago. :)

If you just watched that video, you may have noticed something strange about Tilly and the Wall's musical ensemble. They have a tap-dancer in leiu of a drummer. If that isn't unique, then I don't know what is.
Another fun fact about this band is they sound almost identical to their recordings when they're performing live... and they don't lip sync. I hate when bands/artists use so many modifiers and electronic enhancers in their recordings that they sound disgusting live. For this, Tilly and the Wall, I admire you.

And to you, reader, I say, "Consider this your daily musical education."

coming soon: Willy Porter post. (I LOVE WILLY PORTER)

Scooters

2009-02-05T06:05:00.000-08:00

Hey. Watch this.

I miss being a kid.
I miss my scooter.

Raise your hand if you owned a Razor!
If you raised your hand, that means you probably grew up in the 90's.
Raise your hand if you miss the 90's!
... yeah me neither. :P

But for real. I just saw "scooters" in examples for labels at the bottom of this blog post, and that made me think of how much fun my little razor was back in the day. I think all of us need to take some time to reminisce about our childhood once in a while. Life was definitely simpler back then. The only things you could get in trouble for were hitting your little brother and leaving your gameboy out for one of your parents to trip over. Don't get me wrong, high school is a blast, but sometimes it becomes overly-stressful. That's when I wish I was 7 again.

An Ode to Brian

2009-02-03T06:20:00.000-08:00

I dedicate this post to Brian Vander Ploeg.
he's my cheating fiancee.

But this post has nothing to do with him. Mainly because I just found out about his affairs with Morgan and Cheyann. (keep in mind that none of this is true.)

I finally figured out my schedule for my Japan trip this summer!!!
I feel as though a HUGE weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

wanna hear where I'm going!?
OKAY!

-June 11th- Arrive in Narita.
-11th-26th-Go wherever my class goes
-June 26th- Go back to Narita to stay with Nahoko and attend Naritakokusai (high school)
-July 3rd- Hit up Tokyo with my best friend/former exchange student Nobuko. PPAAARRRTAAAYYY :)
-July 10th- Take a night bus to KYOTO. With Nobuko of course. We're going to spend a night at Chihiro's house. She's SWEEETTT.
-July 12th- Take another night bus to Kagawa, where Nobuko's family lives. I'm so excited to met them!
-July 17th- Take the Shinkansen back to Narita and say, "Buh-Bye" to wonderful Japan.

that's a looong trip... and it's gonna ROCK!

P.s.
I love you, Brian! Well kinda :P

wow.

2009-02-03T06:11:00.000-08:00

I haven't blogged in a long time.
and i'm pretty sure i have to write like ten more posts.

MOVIES!

I love working in a movie theater because EVERYTHING IS FREE!!!
My bestie Jacey and I saw Twilight twice last week. It was free... and so was the popcorn/WILD CHERRY PEPSI! (the best soda.... ever.)
The movie would have been so much better if not for this class. What i mean by that is, we've been analyzing films here in perspectives, so all we could think of during our dual viewings of Twilight was... "Shot. Shot. Shot. Shot. Bird's eye. Zoom. Pan. Tilt. Shot. Close up. Rule of thirds."

Thanks, Mr. Ayers.

2009-01-08T06:22:00.000-08:00

Before I start talking about the important stuff, watch this video.
I found it while procrastinating on this blog post ;)

I'm BUSY.
I have SO MUCH STUFF going on.
Nearly every day after school I have to be at my AP music theory class, 101 Dalmations practice, Guys and Dolls practice, voice lessons, Japan trip meetings, Arsenic and Old Lace practice, Show choir.... the list goes on.
At least I got one thing out of the way on Tuesday. I finally got up on stage and sang a solo piece from the Messiah. Singing with the orchestra was a really cool experience. I think it's fun to try out different styles of music. Classical stuff was definitely a stretch for me, but I found that it's much easier on my voice and very fun to sing :)
Now I just have to polish of my CRUELLA DE VIL lines for 101 Dalmations, learn the lyrics to my Guys and Dolls duets for speech team, and keep plugging away at Arsenic and Old Lace- also for speech team. Districts for speech are in 3 WEEKS!!! I have A LOT of work to do.

There's so much more I could whine about right now... but I doubt that's very fun for you to read about.

Now I'm trying to think of something non-stressful to write about...

....

....thinking....

.....stillll thinking......

I got nothin'.

you can't read that.
i can.
I'm going to try to keep this post みじかい(short) 。And use as much 日本語の単語(Japanese Vocab) as i can, since i really need to れんしゅうする私の日本語(practice my Japanese) before i go to Japan in JUNE! めっちゃ楽しみだよ(I'M SO EXCITED!!!!) ！I'll keep translating so I don't lose any points on this blog assignment :P.

歌を歌っているのが大好き!! (I love singing!) 　でも、月曜日にコアイアコンサートで一人で歌を歌う!　(but on Monday I'm going to sing a solo in the choir concert!)　I'm NERVOUS! But i think it'll turn out ok. I'm singing "Rejoice Greatly, O Daughter of Zion" from Handel's Messiah. I'll be singing the coloratura in the beginning and the ending of the song. (NOT the slow part in the middle. Emily's doing that. She's a BEAST!)

I think this post is done now.

sorry for the lack of exciting and A-worthy content.

Introduction to Blog. (2 posts late)

2008-12-10T06:09:00.000-08:00

Just so you know...

This morning,

I burned my thumb.
and i cut my finger.
and i lost my tea.

sounds like a good day.

OK. ANYWAYS.

Hi.

My name ISN'T Henriette, but I can't tell you what it really is. I am writing a blog for my perspectives class.

In this blog, I'm going to write about movies, because I watch a lot of them and work in a movie theater. I watched two movies yesterday because it was a SnOw DaY!~ But i slept through the end of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

You will also probably read about music on this thing. Most of last year and through the beginning of the summer, I found myself buried in a musical hole. I listened to all of the same things, and I didn't have an iPod at the time. (I dropped my old one in the bathtub... pathetic, I know.) Recently, however, I've discovered that finding new music really isn't that hard. I borrow my friend's CDs alot, and I rip Mp3s off the internet. And I got a sweet yellow iPod nano. My BF made me a couple CDs for my birthday, and I found a song/band that I'm completely obsessed with now! It's called "Lazy Eye" by the Silversun Pickups. The lead singer has a very androgynous voice. I seriously could not tell what gender he/she/it was. My father, uncle, and bff Emily later informed me that it was, in fact, a man singing. He's one of those guys who's face really doesn't fit his singing voice. His name is Brian Aubert. Check my links and see for yourself. In the first picture, he's the guy with the beard and NO glasses.
I'm going to write about Japan a lot from time to time, but you probably won't be reading about that until closer to the end of the school year. I'm going to Tokyo, Kyoto, Narita, and other places yet to be determined, Japan on June 11. I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE ALL MY FRIENDS!!! But there isn't really that much to write about yet regarding that trip.
so more on that later.

Have a wonderful day!!! :)

JUNO JARGON GENERATOR!

2008-12-03T06:39:00.001-08:00

"Neeners, what should I blog about..???"

2008-12-03T06:03:00.000-08:00

ThAnKsGiViNg BrEaK
wasreallyboring
because i'm grounded.
Kids, cheating is ALWAYS bad. Especially if its on a math test.
DON'T DO IT.
I watched JUNO 5 times. sad i know.

Speaking of Juno....

It's kind of the best movie ever. It's about this 16-year-old girl Juno (Ellen Page), who gets pregnant. She decides to give the baby to Mark and Vanessa Loring- a couple she found in the Penny Saver next to the used fitness equipment ads. The baby's father is Pauly Bleeker (Michael Cera). He's Juno's best friend.
This movie's totally boss because the characters are so endearing.
Juno- is very charismatic and hilarious. Her lingo is absolutely fabulous and I love the things she says in this movie. Being pregnant makes her "pee like seabiscuit" and she has to rub on all this nasty cocoa butter stuff so, like... i don't know... her skin won't explode?
Pauly- is a very shy, awkward boy. He runs track in his BRIGHT YELLOW short shorts, and lives off orange tic tacs. He's in love with Juno, but for a long time she doesn't want to be anything more than friends with him.
Leah-is Juno's best girl friend. She's a cheerleader who's in to old men. She and Juno frequently enjoy 64 ounce blue slushies.
Bren- is Juno's stepmom. She's a nail technician who's obsessed with dogs, and one day, she's going to get WEIMARANERS. "WOAH, DREAM BIG!"
Liberty Bell- makes me laugh. She's Juno's 5 year old stepsister who has no lines in the movie. She just sits/stands there in her tot ice skating uniform and looks cute.
Mark Loring- Is a CREEPER. He's cool in the beginning of the movie and has a lot in common with juno. However, he isn't ready to be a father, and leaves his wife, ruining Juno's dream of a perfect life for her baby.... well almost.
Vanessa Loring- 's only dream is to become a mother. When Juno offers to give her the baby, she is so excited and reads all sorts of books on being a parent.
