Just so you know 'Sparkling Red Grape Juice Fruit Cocktail'- the kind in the fancy 'wine' bottles- from Aldi's has a horrible stale-grape after-taste. It's also supposed to be non-alcholic, but it has the same taste as a (very-yummy) red wine I've tried, and it burns (well in me anyway, I can feel it burning down my throat) on the first few sips, just like alcohol. Hmm. Makes me wonder.... Nah, couldn't have alcohol, because I'm not drunk, and I've been sipping at a glass for awhile. Although, I doubt I'd get drunk just from this little amount of stuff. But anyway, it doesn't have alcohol. At least not much, not enough to qualify it as 'alcoholic'. The other day I was going past the refridgerated section of the grocery store, and I noticed a sign, it said
You must be 21 years of age or older to purchase non-alcoholic beverages
Isn't that strange? I asked my mom about it, and she said it's because it still does contain alcohol, just not enough to be considered an alcoholic drink. It's weird if you ask me. But this Sparkling Red Grape drink, has no alcohol, I checked the label. It does however have 45mg of sodium per serving, which I'm sure is a lot for one 8oz serving.

I'm bored, can you tell?

Oh, and if it's working, which it was earlier so I'm crossing my fingers that it is now, my links show a cool background/pic behind them if you hover your mouse over them for a couple seconds. Nothing special, but I don't remember having any links that did that before, and I thought it was cool.

I'm done with school!!!!!!!! Just for the summer, of course. I still have my whole senior year next year. Everyone thinks I'm out of highschool, and in or done with college. Why?!? I've no idea. Yea, I do look older when you meet me (I can pass for out of college easily, but only in person, I look horribly young in my pics), and I am the type that just likes to hang back and observe rather than be all happy and a 'joiner' but... I don't see how that makes me a type that is out of- or even in, for that matter- college. This one guy my dad used to hang out with always asked me how long I had in college yet, and if I learned about such-and-such law that he heard about or needed help with. But... I mean come on, think about it. I'm going to be a lawyer. That's at the very least, 6 years of school. Usually it's 7 but I know of a few schools that are doing this 3 + 3 (pre and then regular law) law thing that you can do to get it all done with a year ahead of time. And then I might have to go longer, depending on what type of lawyer I become... Anyway, you figure generally a kid is 18 when they graduate. Just in general, not every kid. But generally, 18. So you figure 18 + 6 years college= 24 years old. I don't look 24. At least I don't think I do.

And for those who have never heard it, and ask why on earth would you want to be a pond-scum lawyer:

I've wanted to be a lawyer for as long as I could remember. I adore arguing, and I'm good at it. No, that's not being conceited, it's telling the truth because even if I don't win the argument I at least get you to consider my point of view. When I was little, whenever anyone would fight (cousins/siblings, whoever) I would take charge and point out who was right and who was wrong and what they should have done, etc. Being my own bossy little self, I guess. But it worked, I was peacekeeper. I can remember one incident in particular, I was sleeping over at my cousins house and they got into some arguement- like they always did- and someone ended up throwing something (some paper or little toy or something) out the window. I sat on the bed, calmly told my aunt what happened and what I thought she should do. Well my aunt always thought it was funny how I acted all 'lawyer like' and she told me I could decide who was right and who was wrong. I went over everything that happened, and then told them they were both wrong, one shouldn't have done this and then it wouldnt have provoked the other to throw the thing out the window, and that they should hold hands and both go outside to retrieve whatever it was that was thrown out. Well, they didn't end up holding hands, but they both walked out together to get it. And I was not a popular cousin that night, lol. Anyway, my aunt reminds me of that story whenever she tells me she admires me for wanting to actually go through with all that schooling. I'll be the first grandkid of my father's mom (and his dad, but he died a little over a year ago) to go to college. There's 4 or 5 kids older than me, and I'll be the first. So, I have that pressure to go to college. But like I said, I will anyway because I"m going to be a lawyer. There's been a lot of legal family problems, one lately and lots long before that, that have inspired me even more to become a lawyer, because I see how crummy our criminal justice system really is, and how good lawyers are seriously needed. So that's my story, why I want to be a lawyer in...500? words or less. At least I think it's less than 500, I didn't count :p

On a completly different note:

I was told that my hair is very 'retro'. I don't like that idea. My hair is my hair, and I think retro should stay in it's decades where it belongs, I don't want my hair to be a fashion plate. Not that it is really because I hang out with a bunch of people who have no idea about fashion.... except what they see on tv of course. Anyway, my hair does this flippy thing where it gets curly/wavy and flips out at the ends, totally natural, if it were up to me it wouldn't flip out. And I tend to let a few whisps of my bangs hang in my face because I hate how my face looks without bangs. Anyway, someone was saying how "look, you've got the retro thing going on! whispy bangs and everything!" *gag*

And now it's 12:25, I've said a whole lot without saying much at all. Kudos to anyone who has actually read through all that babble. and I'm actually getting sleepy, so I'm going to read. Gnight people.
