I hate her

Mon, 11 Feb 2008 21:55:12 GMT

Okay, guys. Get ready.

People. People are flipping fools, okay? So. My BFFL has this sister in law. Like.... okay. In fairytales, there is a wicked stepmother. She is the Wicked Sister In Law From Hell. Her name is Brandalynne. WHO names their kid Brandalynne? Anyways. So, 7th of January. My BFFL's 17th birthday. Rock the house, right?
The weekend before, her mom, myself, her, and our other BFFL Jen all go to Citywalk. We have this amazing time. It was pretty much a big pot of perfect. We ate fantastic food at Margaritaville, and then we saw Sweeney Todd. We were tired. BUT it rocked. It rocked SUPER hard.
Brandalynne has a problem with this already to start with. "Its too much money. Shes spoiled" wah wah wah, its not your kid STFU.

Let me back track.

Two weeks before, maybe more, my BFFL's mom tells Brandalynne that her TWO year old child is not allowed to come to the Family Dinner. Yes, at first it was two very adult restaurants to start with. You see, we originally planned one weekend outing to Citywalk just to see Sweeney Todd. That was to be followed on the next weekend with either a trip to Busch Gardens (we have passes), or a family dinner at a NICE restaurant. She is totally cool with this at first.

We are like, awesome. But, BUT, it is INCONVENIENT for her to go to Busch Gardens. So, we change this plan to the dinner deal. At first BFFL wants a sushi joint. We all decide only she likes sushi and the place doesn't serve anything else. NEW plan. Chili's, but quickly she goes NO WAIT! FRIDAYS.

OKAY, Let me tell you guys something about Friday's on a Saturday Night. Even with a call ahead reservation (WHERE WE GET PRIORITY SEATING) it took TWENTY minutes to be seated. TWENTY. It was raining. It was SEVEN at night. Then, the meal took at least a good 30-40 minutes for appetizers and drinks. The whole meal lasted at least two hours.
YOU try keeping a TWO YEAR OLD entertained in THAT kind of atmosphere.

Brandalynne is cool with the plan at first. We think everything is settled. The baby is not attending, BECAUSE Fridays is ALWAYS like that. We also think everyone is happy with the arrangement. Mommy and Daddy get the night off, a big family meal, and very good food.

NOW we resume.

She finds out about the friend's weekend to City Walk and is kinda peeved. She is told it is NONE of her business so she shuts up. The rest of the week goes like silk. Perfect, right?
We get to Saturday. Jen is with us again. Its maybe TWO hours before we are supposed to be leaving. We get a phone call. The baby is coming. Why? Because Brandalynne canceled the babysitter on Wednesday. Okay BTCH SAY WHAT? We are all Livid. My BFFL's parents say its her call. What my BFFL decides will be if she can come or none of them come. She decides none. Brandalynne has being going off every day since.

Now. Let me explain why she said no. She said no because of how Friday's is. Some of you may say "Why not another restaurant?" Simply put, it was too short notice. Any other place suitable for the same event would have been packed out by the time we got there. Had she of told us even two or three hours prior (And that still would have been wrong, it should have been several days prior) We would have been able to pick a baby friendly and unpacked restaurant.

SO. Several weeks pass. She finally decides to go out with my BFFL's mom. Well we find out she has been purposely avoiding my BFFL! The baby's birthday is in a few weeks. BFFL's mom talks to Brandalynne today to see if we are invited to come.

She goes OFF on BFFL's mom. She says "We have been ignoring her anyways, I don't see why she would want to." And turns into a big giant angry dragon where she word vomits all over the receiver while BFFL's mom is completely unable to retort because she is screaming SO LOUD.

First of all, that is VERY childish. Secondly, SOMEONE SLAP THE HOE.

I am extremely angry. She should have never spoken to BFFL's mom like that. Also, what really made me go WTF was that she was bringing up LAST MOTHER'S DAY.

Okay. Last mothers day. Aaron was SUPPOSED to take Brandalynne out (since hes her husband) for dinner. She had to work. We all went to a buffet. We invited Aaron. We were unaware that he hadn't asked Brandalynne or spoken about it. She got pissed. Shes been raving about it ever since.

COME ON. Get OVER it.

But I just got off the phone with my dad.

He says he will help me pour Deer In Heat Urine in her shoes and on her bed. He also says he would help me set dog poop on fire on her porch. AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Did I mention I LOVE my dad? Hes the most AMAZING person in this ENTIRE world.

Introduction To Sport

Main Idea of The Sport, How is it played, what do you do? What are you going to tell me?

Physics Based Around the Setting of the Bow and Arrow

Physics Based around the Flight of the arrow

Sum it all up

Archery is a very demanding sport. It requires an attentive ear, awareness of surroundings, good vision, excellent judgment, a keen mind, and proper positioning. Many have the misconception that all archery consists of is seeing an arrow flying towards a target. This simple statement sheds only a thin stream of light onto the complexity that truly exists within archery. In reality, you have to take into effect your stance. Is the position of the bow correct with the body? The correct position to handle the bow is to first point it upwards at chest level. Put your dominate hand onto the string at the center of gravity, which is usually the middle, and the other hand on the shaft of the bow at the grip. Push forward on the shaft, while simultaneously using the hand on the string to pull backwards. While in this motion, readjust yourself to the position you need to shoot the target at. Make sure each foot is grounded securely. Be certain that the foot distance is approximately one to two feet. You want your center of gravity does not come off balance. Now examine the positioning of your arms. The hand on the string should be lightly touching anywhere between the jaw line and the cheek bone. This should create a straight line from the elbow of the dominate hand, to the fully extended arm holding the shaft. This position should create a ‘T’ like shape. (Haywood and Lewis 44) It is ideal for being able to aim accurately. Now, it is time to add in the arrow for the equation. Before you would be begin to draw the bow back, set the arrow onto the string. The nock, which is a removable piece on the end of the arrow with a slit for the bowstring and is usually plastic, should be mounted into the nock holder of the string. The nock holder is an extra attachment for the bow string which basically holds the arrow in place more efficiently than without. When completely drawn back, the arrow should sit within the arrow rest inside the shelf of the bow. It will be at level with your eyesight and parallel to the arm. The purpose of the arrow rest is to hold the front of the arrow in place and to keep it at a level 0 degree angle with the target. (Addison 29-31) Theoretically, if fired correctly, the arrow should be able to make a direct path, barring the absence of wind resistance, to the target. Now that it is time to fire, we can begin to see the physics behind archery.

In order to be successful in this sport, a vast amount of physics principles must be applied. The most obvious principle is energy. When you create tension in the bow string by drawing it back, you are building potential energy. This is true because of the bending of the bow itself. You create an arch like shape. The energy is concentrated onto the arrow. When you release the string, this then is converted to kinetic energy and the arrow zooms off to the target. By releasing the string, you also created a certain amount of force behind the arrow. This is also what is helping the arrow accelerate. (Gardner 33-38) What you are doing is human work. If this is true, why can no one throw it as fast or as far? Simply put, by using the bow, you are able to put a substantially larger amount of force behind the arrow. To digress a moment, lets examine the arrow while the arrow is actually in flight. As the arrow leaves, it is creating work. Work is equal to the magnitude of the force times the magnitude of the displacement of the arrow. This defines how much energy the arrow has. Also, the arrow is engaged in projectile motion. The reason the arrow is in projectile motion is because a projectile is any object that has been launched or thrown into the air and is subject to the forces of gravity. Thus, since an arrow is being launched by a bow, the arrow has now become the projectile in our equation. Since it is a projectile it is subject to the rules that govern this type of motion. One of these rules is a rule of angles. This rule dictates the smaller the angle, the farther the horizontal distance that the arrow travels will be. This means that if your target is very far away you will need to shoot it at a small angle for it to travel the some distance farther in the horizontal direction. However, if you have a target that is very close to you, then you will need to shoot your target at a larger angle for it to travel the exact same distance at the same velocity. When trying to do this, keep in mind that firing you in the air will cause the arrow to come down very quickly and can be highly dangerous. An interesting thing about arrows is that arrows need feathers to fly correctly. Even though that in reality, feathers will actually slow down the speed of the arrow, if you keep the feathers off, it will be imbalance; this means that the arrow could become too top heaven and begin to spin from nock to broad head. This is extremely dangerous. Also, feathers help create a spin to the arrow. This spin lets the broad head dig into its target so that only a skilled hand can remove it from whatever it is you are trying to shoot, this is also a big reason why you should never play around and act like you are trying to shoot a person with a bow and arrow. These spins can also cause some flesh to rip extremely easily. This ripping could possibly have enough momentum and energy to tear straight through certain materials. This is also why it is important to make sure your targets are very thick. Overall, archery is an extremely fun sport to partake in; the best part is that being armed with the knowledge of physics can turn even a blind person to a pro in no time flat.

Days of Hell

You know what? This shit gets pretty old, pretty damn fast. Seriously, guys. Our A/C has been broken for about... four days now. Okay? Okay. Well. Three days ago, my Dad told my Mom that he would call the A/C company. WELL, my Mom strongly felt that it was the breakers outside. My Dad insists that we make sure BEFORE he trys anything with the breaker and would rather he had a professional do it ANYWAYS. WELL!!! This was apparently completely unacceptable. Right? Right.
SO! I've been at Mandi's for Wednesday and Thursday, and I get home, and its Friday. Mom INSISTS we stay in the den nearly ALL the time, since it has A/C, while she sits at the hot parts of the houses. Okay. That weird, right? I mean, why if I and She are perfectly fine in the hotter part of the house for at least two or three hours before needing to come in the den and cool off, wouldn't you take that and sit in the den by yourself? Right?   She wont even sit in the den WITH us. Okay, WTF is up with that? Hm? I dont get it, do you?
WELL, beyond that, she was fairly content until about 6 o'clock yesterday. Over that hour and a half, you could literally see her face contourting more and more.
First, she got really quiet. Then, when she did speak, it was a bit curt. Then, you could see her lips coming closer together. After that, her eyes began to squint. Finally, her brows were furrowed together and her arms were crossed over her chest. DURING this time, NOBODY was in the den. NOBODY. She could have EASILY gone to the den, right? Assuming thats the problem.
WELL!!!! Daddy walks in. Its now about 7:30. She starts picking a FIGHT with him!!!!! He was in a perfectly good mood and she was all GHIFGHOIRAHSNGNERAHOAP. So Dad was like, What... The hell... is your problem NOW!?!?! T_T;. And then he took me to the store to get a giant round stick for a science project of mine. (which is a diffrent story all together). When we got home, she was slaming doors, snapping at people, being really rude, and screaming at Dad. He finally had enough and started screaming back so she took off, right?
Well, when she came back, it was like...11. She woke dad up out of Allen's room and made him sleep outside. WHAT THE HELL!?!!? You gotta have that big of a problem?!

SHE WONT TELL ANYONE WHATS WRONG BECAUSE NOTHING IS WRONG SHES JUST BEING A JERK FOR NO REASON.

SO, I get up this morning roughly 45 minutes ago. Figure I can be nice, wake Mandi up, fix the den fouton and let her sit down there, right? So I walk into her room, first words out her mouth WERE NOT Good Morning, How are you, did you sleep well, NONE of that. No. It was Im not in a good mood today, Elizabeth.

WELL EXCUSE ME!

I hate moody people -_-;
