So recently I was looking through our school's book drive selection and found a moderately interesting book about Hanukkah. So I picked it up and was looking through it and found the holiday referred to as 'Chanukah.' What? since when is Hanukkah 'Chanukah?'
Anyway, glad to have that out of my system. The Internet: great place for venting.
So here are my least favorite things about Christmas.
1. 'I want a dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown!" GRRRRRR! This one made me mad. I was watching A Charlie Brown Christmas on ABC a couple days ago and an ad came on for another Peanuts Christmas movie: I want a dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown! So I thought, cool! Another Peanuts movie! So I watched a little bit and then I realized: It wasn't the same voices! Charlie, Linus, Lucy, and Rerun (give yourself 4 points if you knew Linus and Lucy had a younger brother) all had really strange voices, And I was just very very very very very very very very very very very very ANGRY! SO I turned of the TV and skulked (I like that word) for a few minutes. (Bonus Peanuts Trivia question worth 50 points: what instrument does Charlie Brown play?)
2.Not being able to think of more than one thing I don't like about Christmas.
So, as I write this it's raining pretty hard here in Pacifica. It's 3:30 on December 21st, 2012. School recently ended until January 11th. I'm happy. Anyone else?

A friend once asked me...
A friend once asked me if Amazon, Firefox, Google, Apple, Internet explorer had a fight, who would win?
Here's what I wrote back to him:
Internet Explorer, with its weak speed and links, would be KO'd by Firefox almost immediately. But wile Firefox was gloating, Google would delegate Chrome, its fastest member, to sneak up behind Firefox and drive one of its many apps right through Firefox's links. With IE and FF out, Windows and Apple would secretly team up, since Google can only exist in them. But while they tried to find Google It would seek refuge in neutralist area Linux, where it could begin its plot. Meanwhile, Amazon would be slaughtered at the hands of a thousand iPads, despite the Kindles they had sent against them. Apple and Windows would go to war, with Androids infiltrating and stealing Intel from Apples base and Apple firing their giant lawsuit cannons at them as they left, and managing to get most of the spies. But while they did this Windows would plant a gaming bomb in their base and completely demolish their apps & games wing of their base. But in this disarray, Windows would be assaulted on all sides by the Android phones they had commissioned to aid them, since they secretly reported to the newly returned Google. Google would command them to attack and Windows's phone section would be captured, but their hardware area would be protected due to its heavy defenses. Apple, meanwhile, would execute a pincer move and trap Google between Apple and Windows, causing Google to be destroyed in an instant. All areas of windows except for their Apps & games &and hardware sections would be bombarded until surrender, but Those two would hold out. Eventually, though, Siri charmed her way into the hardware section and caused complete chaos by impersonating the voice control app and ordering the evacuation of all areas. With the Windows army flushed into the open, a bloody battle would take place until the Windows army was beaten down to their last few survivors: The director of the Windows Games section and the last three surviving Windows Phones. The three would beheld captive until at one point, the three Windows phones manage to escape through the weakened Games section of the headquarters of Apple, taking the director og Windows Games with them. The four would escape to a faraway place, perhaps Ubuntu, where they would bide there time and regrow their empire, even bargaining with Ubuntu, gaining A few thousand Linuxian soldiers in exchange for partitioned support on Windows 7. Eventually, Windows would grow into a new breed: Windows 8. And they would return to fight with the titans subsequently created by Apple such as The IPhone 5 and The Ipad Mini. But that's another story...
Perhaps someday I will tell you the rest of the story, but technically it's still being written right now. So someday, look for 'The Battle of Windows And Apple!'
Maybe I should write a book.
