What?!?! Back-to-School Commercials?!?!

Hi Everyone, 
   Recently I have noticed that there are a bunch of back-to-school commercials, ads, everything. You just can't get away from them! Stores may be all excited for the new school year so the can make a killing on school supplies, but I'm not! I am still enjoy my summer so please take the commercials back until September, or at least late August! 
    So that's my little rant on back-to-school ads. Mostly I don't like them because I don't want to school to start yet and my summer to be over. But side note, I really do enjoy shopping for back-to-school supplies, just not in July! 
   That is all for now :P

Teen Choice Awards 2011

Hi everyone, 
   So  today I just felt like writing a post about the Teen Choice Awards. I forgot about the award show until two of my favorite youtubers,Elle and Blair Fowler wrote a post on their website http://www.elleandblair.com/ about how they were nominated for choice web star. After hearing about this I decided to check out the Teen Choice Award Website  after perusing the site for a bit I saw some other people in different categories that I wanted to vote for. To vote you have to register, which doesn't take too long. After that you can vote everyday once a day in each category, their are four choices in each category.  
   
     In a couple of different categories it was hard for me to choose who to vote for because I like a couple of the nominees very much, those were: 

Choice TV Show: Action   

NCIS: Los Angeles                  vs.   Hawaii Five-O                                                     

 

Choice TV Actor: Action 

  

Daniel Dae Kim, Hawaii Five-O                        vs.                          LL Cool J, NCIS: Los Angeles 

Choice TV Actress: Action 

Linda Hunt, NCIS: Los Angeles                           vs.                            Grace Park, Hawaii Five-O

 

There are some other tough choices, but for me these are the hardest to choose between. So each day I alternate which person I vote for. I am a huge fan of crime shows, Hawaii Five-O and NCIS: Los Angeles are two of my favorite shows. One other thing I want to say is I hope that Harry Potter wins the categories the movie and actors are in, and I really hope that Twilight does not beat them, because in my opinion Harry Potter is way better. So that is all I have to say about the Teen Choice Awards. The Teen Choice Awards are on Fox, Sunday, August 7th, at 8/7 central.

Things I Love ~ Soft Serve Ice Cream!

     

 

     So today while I was out shopping with my family, we stopped at a place to get lunch. And guess what?? They had soft serve ice cream!! I was so excited and knew I had to get it. I love soft serve ice cream, I even ate it before I ate my lunch. Soft serve ice cream is so good! I think I like it so much more than regular ice cream is because it is softer, smoother, and lighter which makes it all that more refreshing! Sometimes when I am eating regular ice cream i purposely let it melt a little bit so it will taste more like soft serve ice cream.  

      Because I love soft serve ice cream (wow I use that word a bunch) so much I decided to do a little research on it. Which means consult Wikipedia! In school they won't let us use Wikipedia because they think it is not a credible source since anybody can write on it. But since school is out I can use Wikipedia as much as I want! Anyway it seems to me that the main differences between regular ice cream and soft serve ice cream, is soft serve has less milk-fat, is kept at a warmer temperature, and has more air in it. I also learned that soft serve ice cream was first sold in 1938 by the co-founders of Dairy Queen.   
  
    Thanks for reading! ~Meera
